Robert’s Reflections

Offering Counters - Tellers, as we call

them, and Teller helpers, are needed.

If anyone is interested please call me at

816-616-9608 or e-mail

[email protected].

You don't need to have a banking back-

ground we will train you and it only

takes a couple hours Sunday after

church. Thanks Megan Colombo

We will meet at noon (bring a

lunch) or come at 1:00 p.m. if

you just want to work.

T hings are cookin’

around Barry Christian

Church this week! Everywhere

you look there are chef’s hats and

aprons as the children are learning the right recipe for faithful-

ness. With the heat index soaring to over 100 degrees we are

keeping our cool inside working with these recipe’s that do not

generate the same kind of heat one might find over a stove. The

recipe we are using has a number of secret ingredients:

One: “Be ready!”

Two: “Give Happily!”

Three: “Believe with all of your heart!”

Four: “Remember God loves you!”

Five: “Celebrate forever!”

Sunday you will be able to get a small “taste” of the week by

seeing the huge pile of food that is growing every day. It all

goes into our food pantry to give away to people who need it.

The kids are rightfully proud of what they are accomplishing. I

hope you will offer your own encouraging words to those who

have shared in this good work. Don’t forget the director, teach-

ers and staff as you offer your hopeful and grateful words. Like

all we do here, it could not happen without loving and dedicated

volunteers!

Love, Bob

Executive Board Monday,

August 1 - 7:00 p.m.

The Executive Board acts as the

decision making body of the

church on alternate months

when the General Board isn’t

meeting allowing the General

Board (all the Elders, Deacons,

Jr. Deacons, Committee Chairs,

and At Large Members as well

as church members) to meet

only 6 times a year.

Page 3

On July 24, at both

services, we will be celebrating

our bi-annual Infant Dedication.

Children who were born since Janu-

ary 2011, or who haven’t been able to

participate in the past, are dedi-

cated to God in a beautiful service

that includes the whole congregation. Please call the

c h u r c h o f f i c e : 4 3 6 - 0 4 6 2 o r e m a i l

[email protected] if you wish to

participate.

SERVICE PROJECTS FOR ALL-

Please continue to save UPC labels from Best

Choice products and Campbell labels. Eye glasses are

greatly needed. Gently used reading glasses purchased from

drug stores or discount stores as well as those obtained from

an eye doctor can be used. Please bring complete pairs only.

Reading glasses are in great demand for those who sew or do

other close work. The gift of a pair of glasses may provide

someone with a means of earning a living. The glasses are

taken to the Festival of Sharing in October.

Have you ever seen a baby

porcupine?

Fable of the porcupine It was

the coldest winter ever.

Many animals died because

of the cold. The porcupines,

realizing the situation,

decided to group together to

keep warm. This way they

covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one

wounded their closest companions. After awhile, they decided to

distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone

and frozen. So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills

of their companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely, they

decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the

little wounds caused by the close relationship with their

companions in order to receive the warmth that came from the

others. This way they were able to survive. Moral of the story: The

best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people,

but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of

others and can admire the other person's good qualities.

Good night! Good night!

Far flies the light;

But still God’s love

Shall flame above,

Making all bright.

Good night! Good

night!

—Victor Hugo

Spiritual insomnia

Studies show that most Americans don’t get

adequate sleep. Whether an overcrowded

schedule or insomnia is to blame, the short-

and long-term effects are alarming. It’s

tough to maintain a healthy mind and body

when you’re sleep-deprived.

Likewise, we require sufficient, regular quiet

time with God to stay spiritually healthy.

Even Jesus needed time alone with God.

Luke 5:16 says Jesus withdrew to deserted

places to pray. Think how much more we

need to listen for God’s voice and learn from

his Word!

“Sometimes the most

important thing in a whole

day is the rest we take

between two deep breaths.”

—Etty Hillesum

To All the Ladies of Barry Christian Church

If you attend Barry Christian Church, you can be a part of the Disciples

Women Ministry (formerly the Christian Women’s Fellowship or CWF.)

What do we do? We Fellowship! We work together on projects such as collecting and assembling Church World

Service Health Kits, Totes for Teens, School and similar kits for use in Missouri. We work at Clay County Clothes

Closet on alternate months. We support the annual Turkey Dinner Bazaar and deliver baskets to the homebound.

We have a “sub-group that meets together monthly to do needlework (knitting, crocheting, etc) for charitable

causes such as Cancer Action, Clothes Closet, local nursing homes and Prayer Shawls go be given within our con-

gregation. This is a very informal group that does lots of visiting while we work.

Many of us also attend meetings of the Clay/Platte Disciples Women, Regional DWF meetings and the Northland

United Church Women on a regular basis.

Our circles meet on the third Thursday of most months. These meetings consist of a brief business meeting, re-

ports from our various committee chairs and a Bible based study and a brief worship time. Hanomi Circle meets at

10:00 a.m. and the Esther Circle meets at 7:00 p.m. Some of us bring a sack lunch and eat together before starting

our needlework at 1:00 p.m.

This is the beginning of a new year for Disciple Women (CWF.) What a great time to become active in one of our

groups. If you questions call our President, Sue Effie (587-5694) Dorothy Taylor (436-3292) leader of the Hanomi

Circle (Day Group) or Arleta White (436-0769) leader of the Esther Circle (Night Group) or any active CWF

member. If “meetings” aren’t your thing, you can still participate. Just show up at our Third Thursday needle

Workers or watch for announcements about our service projects or special activities.
