I have yet to hear from God anything close to an audible voice. WheneverI make reference to “hearing” the voice of God, I am referring to an intuition that comes from deepwithin or a meaningful encounter with another person or maybe even a conclusion drawn after along walk in the woods. I have never encountered God’s presence in an apparition or supernaturalevent. I do not take my own lack of such experiences as evidence that those encounters never happenI have just become better prepared to recognize God’s presence in my life when it is transmitted

through rather ordinary events.The weeks after Easter seem rather ordinary in comparison to the week leading up to Easter orthe events of Easter Sunday itself. I am usually a bit tired from all the preparations surroundingEaster, and I have often seen the weeks that follow Easter as an opportunity to slow down and relax abit.

We all tend to gear up for big events and relax a bit during the more ordinary periods that fillthe space between those more significant times. What are we to make of the many references Jesusmade to the Kingdom of God coming upon us suddenly and unexpectedly? It might seem that Jesuswas not nearly as concerned with our ability to put on a big celebration or prepare for a majorholiday as he was with our willingness to follow him faithfully one day at a time.

Following Jesus means awaking each day ready to hear God speaking to us in the voices of

family and friends, in the beauty that surrounds us, and in the suffering that is a part of our world.Following Jesus means living in the moment. It means honoring God’s desire to use us as instrumentsof peace and justice in the routine encounters of the day as well as the unexpected events that comeupon us with little or no warning.

God is always speaking to us, encouraging us, nudging us forward in our faith. We may needto pay close attention to recognize God’s presence. We may even have to set aside some of the loudervoices in our lives to hear the still, soft voice of the Spirit. Whatever it takes to hear that voice—it’sworth it!

If you haven’t already signed up for the All-Church Study, sign up today! In gathering withothers in a small group and learning new ways of onsciously connecting to God, you will enrich yourlife and improve your discipleship. Learning to pray can be fun too! Many of the prayer exercises youwill experience in the All-Church Study are engaging and enjoyable. All of them are meaningful.When you join a small group, you also give God a chance to speak through you to those in yourgroup.

Take time this week to listen for the voice of God. It will come to you in a phone call, an email,a chance encounter in the grocery store. It will call you to love someone who needs your love. It willpull you out of yourself and raise your awareness of how much you have to offer others. It willempower you to love those around you and allow them to love you.

You probably won’t encounter the empty tomb or meet Jesus in the upper room. This is theweek after Easter, another week like so many weeks—ordinary in every way. It is in its ordinariness,though, that you will find opportunities to live out your faith and share that faith

with others. God is still speaking, and you can be a conduit of that speech

"ICameThatTheyMayHaveLifeAndHaveIt

 Abundantly!"(John10:10b)As we come to Easter Sunday, the 2013

Special Easter Offering stands at $ 314 receivedtoward our goal of $1,000. If you'd like to bepart of this year's Easter Offering, which

supports the General Units of the ChristianChurch (Disciples of Christ) in ministries in theUnited States and around the world, pleaseplace your gift in the special envelope that wasdistributed last Sunday. If you did not get thisenvelope last Sunday, you may pick one upthis Sunday on the counter in the office. Evenwithout an envelope you can participate in thisspecial offering by writing "Easter Offering" onthe memo line of your check.

Our General Minister and President

reminds us of the significance of the EasterOffering with these words.

"Your financial gifts directly sustain themissional outreach of ministries that faithfullyserve individuals, local congregations,communities across the country and our globalneighbors. Truly, your prayerful support andbenevolent gifts embody the abundance ofGod's love for all creation.

“The scripture passage in the Gospel of

 John (10:10b) guides the message of this year'sspecial Easter Offering. In our shared lives offaith, we know that Christ accompanies us inall things and that in this covenant there isabundance and new life.

“Thank you for your prayerfuldiscernment. Thank you for your generousparticipation. Thank you for your continuedfaithful witness.

“With gratitude and on behalf of yourgeneral ministry partners,"

 All-ChurchStudy  As our church prepares for this year’s

All-Church Study on prayer, I wanted to share

a passage from Max Lucado’s “He Still Moves

Stones” on prayer:“Most of our prayer lives could use a tune-

up. Some prayer lives could use a tune-up.Some prayer lives lack consistency. They’reeither a desert or an oasis. Long, arid, dryspells interrupted by brief plunges into thewaters of communion… Others of us needsincerity. Our prayers are a bit hollow,memorized, and rigid. More liturgy than life.And though they are daily, they are dull. Stillothers lack, well, honesty. We honestly

wonder if prayer makes a difference. Why onearth would God in heaven want to talk to me?If God knows all, who am I to tell himanything? If God controls all, who am I to doanything? Our prayers may be awkward. Ourattempts may be feeble. But since the power ofprayer is in the one who hears it and not theone who says it, our prayers do make adifference.”

We hope you are still thinking about

 joining this year’s study, and please rememberthe power of God and the power of prayer.Registration forms are on the bulletin

board.Pam

WeHaveJoinedTheMissionaryRelationshipProgram  In a letter dated March 5, Ted Adams, whowith his wife, Sammie, coordinates our SeniorAdult Ministry, was informed that ourcongregation has been accepted into a missionaryrelationship with Jeffrey Mensendiek, who servesin Japan. This was addressed to Ted in response to

the form Ted filled out after Jeffrey spoke to ourseniors at the meeting on February 19. He turned itover to the Outreach Ministry. On March 20, theOutreach Ministry approved our entering into theMissionary Relationship Program with Jeffrey. Anannouncement of this relationship is posted on thebulletin board as well as Jeffrey's picture and hiscurrent address in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He willgo back to Japan with his family in September tobegin a three-year term of service that will runthrough August 31, 2016.

The Missionary Relationship Program isprimarily seen as a correspondence relationship.We need to answer these questions in the comingmonths in order for us to be in a relationship with Jeffrey.

1. Who is the person in our congregationwho will be the main contact person for thisrelationship? Is this something you'd like to do?

2. How many of us would like to be on thee-mail list for Jeffrey to use in contacting ourcongregation? Do you want to receive e-mails from Jeffrey?

3. How often would we like Jeffrey tocommunicate with us--monthly or quarterly?

4. What type of information do we want toreceive from Jeffrey?

5. How will we keep this relationship beforeour congregation so that we get to know Jeffreybetter and also understand his work?

6. What do you think Jeffrey needs to knowabout our congregation?

If you have a response to any of thesequestions, please let Ed Linberg and the Outreach

Ministry know your interest. Write a note outliningyour responses to any, or all, of these six questions,put it in the Outreach Ministry box in the ChurchOffice or, speak to Ed Linberg, Outreach MinistryChair. The Outreach Ministry will discuss thismatter when it meets on Wednesday, May 15.They are not meeting in April so that theirmembers will have the opportunity to be part ofthe All Church Study without having too manythings to do in any given week.

The Outreach Ministry

RememberingOurChoir's2013EasterCantata"ThePassionandGloryoftheRisenChrist" When Johann Sebastian Bach composed 199of his vocal and instrumental compositions named"cantata" (literally "sung") for his choir just forspecial Sundays in the Lutheran church year, allthe choir members, instrumentalists and

supportive members of St. Thomas Church(Thomaskirke) in Leipzig Germany worked hardfor weeks as volunteers and were grateful for thebeauty of a musical legacy they did not know theywould be sharing with the ages.

Today this art form, usually but notexclusively associated with the Church, oftenexceeds the available time and human resources ofever declining churches and choirs, or else has beenupdated by other musical productions in largeremergent and contemporary services.

We at First Christian Church Fullerton canbe grateful, like Bach's congregation, that we have amusical director with the creative insight andprofessional musical sensitivity of our musicdirector, Mitch Hanlon. We can be grateful we stillhave a choir as dedicated in rehearsal and practiceas ours. We can be grateful for college students(whom Bach occasionally called upon also) such asour accompanist Rod Bagheri, our cantata narratorwith the rich voice, Tim Alexander, and soloistRuben Carbjal. We are grateful for other soloistssuch as Emily Steward-Styffe, and for Anna

Hanlon's video choreography of Mitch's selectionof beautiful stained-glass slides whichaccompanied and enhanced the choir's music.

Each Sunday our congregation leaves littlenotes "What I Liked About this Service" in theoffering plates. Last Sunday there were anexceptional number of notes from our congregationto Mitch and the choir thanking them for theirmany hours of preparation to present to us JackSchrader's arrangement of "The Passion and Gloryof the Risen Christ."

As we grow in emerging worship thatspeaks to a new generation and invites newerdisciples into worshipful presence with God, wewho remember what a man like Bach gave to theChurch, can appreciate a time and place when,thanks to our choir, we were there ( as in the oldhymn "Were you there?") on a Palm Sunday whenwe were led from the triumphal entry down theVia Dolorosa, to the cross, and given hope forliving through the worst day to arise on Easter !
