    Pastor’s Column

    When I was a kid, changing the clocks left me with lots of questions, like, “Why do we do this?” “Did dad change the clocks already? What time IS it?” “What do you mean it’s time to get up/go to bed? I’m still sleepy/wide awake.” And “Which way do we turn them this time?”

    To answer the last question, my parents taught me a little jingle: You spring forward (WHEE!), and you fall back (WHOOOAAA!). So here we are in the fall, and on November 1st it will be time to “fall back” once again.

    Although I don’t know that changing the clocks is really necessary (and would certainly prefer it just stay one throughout the year), I do think this biannual ritual of resetting the clocks can give us the opportunity to pause and see what else needs to be reset in our lives. Since “springing forward” into new ways of living, doing, connecting, and worshipping gets so much attention, let’s consider the “falling back” part instead.

    “Falling back” into negative patterns and bad habits can be easy (it only takes one cigarette, one drink, or one pill to cancel out years of work and sobriety); but “falling back” into positive patterns and good habits can be much more difficult.

    Have you gotten out of the habit of attending worship (in person or digitally)? Consider “falling back” into the habit.

    Have you gotten behind in your Bible reading? Consider “falling back” into the Word.

    Have you stopped “meeting together with other believers” (Hebrews 10:25)? Consider “falling back” into a small group or Sunday school class … or form a new one.

    Four weeks after we reset the clocks will be the first week of Advent. Our series will be “I Believe, Even When” and the Worship Design Team is hard at work to make this a memorable, meaningful, and engaging season in which we can “fall back” into our faith and trust in God. I encourage you to reset your clocks and prepare for this opportunity to reset your spiritual lives and “fall back” into the arms of a loving, caring, grace-filled God.

    In Christian Love,

    Volunteers Wanted: Video Team We Livestream our 10:45 AM Worship — we need help. We are looking for folks interested in the video ministry at CUMC -- especially someone to operate the video camera. For more information, contact Pastor Brian or Carl.

    Teaching Moment: Micah

    Little is known about the prophet, Micah. Micah is

    number 6 of the 12 minor prophets. The best guess

    is that Micah’s first prophecy took place to just

    before the fall of Samaria (722 BCE) and that he

    was a younger contemporary of Isaiah. Micah was

    born in Moresheth, a small village southwest of

    Judah’s capital city.

    The name “Micah” means “who is like Yahweh”.

    Micah foretold of Jesu’s Bethlehem birth (Micah 5:2).

    Micah provides insight into the nature of God and to

    the way humans relate to God and to each other. (1) The New Interpreter’s Bible, Volume VII, 1996 by Abington Press

    Men’s Bible Study—Every Friday at 8:15 AM in the Parlor The Agents of Babylon study series continues. The study delves into the prophecies of Daniel through such “agents” as kings and rulers, royal counselors, animals, angels and inanimate objects. Taken together, they comprise the most exciting book of prophecy in the Old Testament. All men are welcome. POC: Herb Meininger at 717-352-6130 or [email protected] (NOTE: Herb’s Adult Sunday School Class uses the same study.)

    Special Needs class meets in the West Wing, first room on the left. Taught by Jenn Terry.

    Adult Education

    The Adult Bible Study continues the series entitled, Agents of Babylon. (See Men’s Bible Study article below for information on this study.) The class meets in the Parlor located off Frank Hall. Contact: Herb Meininger.

    Combined Adult Sunday School is meeting (except for Adult Bible class) in the Frehn class (Room #1) located off Wolff Hall in the basement at 9:30 AM. They are studying Adam Hamilton's "Christianity's Family Tree". In this book Adam Hamilton presents a welcoming, inspiring vision of Eight Christian denominations and faith tradi-tions: Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Anglicanism, Baptist, Pentecostalism and Methodist. Comparing the Christian family to our extended families, he contends that each denomination has a unique, valuable perspective to offer on the Christian faith. If interested contact Cindy Hartman or Pastor David.

    Online Adult Bible Lesson is available via email (and posted on Facebook) for those who cannot attend the Sunday morning class. Lesson is also posted on our Facebook page and our Website. If interested in receiving the weekly email, contact Pastor Dave ([email protected]).

    CROP WALK 2020 - THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! for your generosity in both walking and supporting the walkers in the fight against world hunger. Team Christ UMC consisted of 10 walkers (Betty Wolff, Brian Lucas, Bill and Pat Short, Tom Miller, Karen Walters, Bob and Donna Frost, Bob Davis, and Cindy Hartman), raising a total of $2897! Thank you to

    both the walkers and all of those who supported them. We surpassed the goals we had set and retained the trophy for the team with the highest total donations. 25% of the money raised will stay in the Waynesboro area. Thank you for your amazing generosity.

    SUSQUEHANNA CONFERENCE HARVEST HOME FOR WORLD HUNGER OFFERING

    Did you know … 1 in 6 Americans are living with inadequate food? The crisis of inadequate food extends into many communities worldwide. Our Christian compassion calls us to do all we can to help alleviate hunger in our local community, in our nation and around the world. By participating in Harvest Home for World Hunger Offering you can take one action to help address the urgent need of the hungry in our midst.

    100% of the Offering Goes to Hunger Projects 50% will go to hunger projects and agencies within the Susquehanna Conference.

    25% will go to national hunger projects through UMCOR. 25% will go to international projects through UMCOR.

    Offering will be gathered on World Hunger Sunday, November 15, 2020. The Conference has set a goal of $1.00 per member. We would like to meet or exceed our 2019 donation of $500. Checks can be made out to CUMC with “Harvest Home Offering” on the memo line and then placed in the offering plate. There will also be a receptacle for donations in the back of the church starting November 1st. All monies will then be forwarded to the Conference by the operations treasurer.

    Thank you for your prayerful consideration.

    FROM CATHY BOILEAU, YORK DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT:

    As has been the case for so many businesses, our Susquehanna Camps and Retreat Centers have been hard hit financially by the COVID 19 closures. Like many in the hospitality industry, our camps and retreat centers have had to cancel all events through the summer and into the fall. In spite of heavy losses, and a deficit of $300,000 in income this year, they are staying afloat through excellent stewardship, and the use of reserved funds, staff lay-offs and cutting costs.

    Our Susquehanna Conference Camps and Retreat Centers are not simply a line on our budget, but a place where every summer hundreds of children and youth from around the conference join together and are formed in Christ. Camp is one of our best expressions of Christian community, as kids from various ethnic, social economic and various abilities gather at table and at the campfire, and learn to recognize the face of Christ in each other. Many of our pastors have received their call to ministry as children or youth at one of our camps.

    We have 118 churches in the York District. If every church gave $100 (and I encourage those of you who can to give more), we would immediately raise $11,800. $100 is a small amount to invest in the future of our younger generations, and to say thank you for many of us in the York District who have experienced adult, family or confirmation retreats at Mount Asbury or Camp Penn.

    The Missions Committee at CUMC has recommended making a donation to the Susquehanna Camps and Retreat Centers through the Camp Fund. Anyone wishing to contribute in addition to that donation can make their check payable to CUMC with “Camp Donation” on the memo line. THANK YOU for your prayerful consideration.

    MISSIONS: OUR FAITH IN ACTION “For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.”

    -----James 2:26----

    Susannah’s Pantry People come to Christ Church seeking immediate food help. We do not want to turn anyone away and we especially want to meet them as Christ’s hands extended. Our pantry is OPEN – we are bagging groceries and handing them out to community members that come to the church. This is a faith-ministry ... as we give the food away to needy families, we trust God to supply yet more! You can help by donating food.

    We are currently only handing out specific items since we are bagging items and handing them out at the door. We are currently handing out (non-perishable, simple food items): spaghetti sauce, spaghetti noodles, mac-n-cheese, peanut butter, jelly, ham/chicken, tuna, beef stew or similar, soup, corn, green beans, fruit, side dish (noodles), crackers, granola bars (or similar), cereal.

    Currently, the only items that we need are: canned green beans and canned corn. We are well supplied on other items— thanks to your generous donations.

    Thank you for your donations and support! Currently Open: Monday – Thursday from 10 AM – 3:30 PM and Friday from 10 AM – 2:00 PM

    Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes This year, we are asking people to make a monetary donation, checks made out to Christ UMC Women, or to go online to Samaritan’s Purse -Build a Shoebox and fill a box on line. The UMW will match the first $200.00 that is received. We will send the money in for Samaritan’s Purse to use where it is most needed. Money is due November 22. Questions, contact Margaret Eier

    RAISING MONEY FOR MISSIONS: Kurt Oney is offering his time and talents in two different ways:

    Silent Auction is again up and running – featuring as its first offering a set of two beautifully made mahogany cabinets. The intent is to sell them as a set (for use as end tables, night stands, or whatever you need) with minimum bid starting at $375 for both cabinets. Please take a look at the cabinets on display in Frank Hall and place your bids in the container provided. All money goes to Missions.

    Lumbar for Sale – Kurt has a lot of lumber on racks in his shop. It is “mixed up” but, nevertheless, there is a lot of good hardwood lumber throughout, including Walnut, Red Oak, Mahogany, and Maple. Many pieces are rough cut and some degrade is to be expected. There will be no picking through the racks and choosing only certain wood. The deal is “just whatever is on top.” He also has a lot of moldings (like crown molding). He is offering this lumber at $175 for a full pick-up load. Buyer must provide own truck and load lumber themselves. Participants are “guaranteed to get their money’s worth.” All money goes to Missions.

  • Noah’s Ark Christian Child Care

    A Ministry of Christ United Methodist Church

    Sitting down and thinking about where to begin sharing always seems to be the perfect time for some self-reflection. It’s so easy to become consumed in society’s fast paced hustle and bustle, combined with recent politics and COVID, that I was very grateful for this week’s bus driving responsibilities. I spent three days taking our two year old toddlers, younger and older preschoolers to the Country Creek Produce Farm’s Pumpkin Patch for some fall fun. We enjoyed a tractor ride to the field to pick some pumpkins, pet lots of farm animals (who doesn’t love a cute pink piglet), rode the zip line from the hay bales, numerous rides down the tube slides, jumping together on the inflatable air bed, and topped it all off with a picnic lunch. I returned to the center to hear all about the infants enjoying the chance to saucer paint with their tootsies and orange paint. Our older infants and young toddlers gave the pumpkins a bath and topped them with colorful paint dabbers. Beautiful fall leaves, colors and fun are in their full glory all around Noah’s Ark. Providing learning opportunities, caring for and playing with the children has a way of putting everything going on in the world into a better perspective. The innocence of children is a true gift. Your ministry continues to be a high quality program that supports the holistic development of His children while strengthening the family and society as a whole.

    For His Children, Amy

    I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. Psalm 69:30

    Our fall fundraiser began on Monday, October 16st and ends on Friday, October 30th. We will also complete our second Scholastic book order with books arriving just in time for Christmas. I will place copies of both the fundraiser and the book order forms for Church members that may find them of interest for the Christmas season. The profits from these fundraisers are used to purchase classroom books, new toys and equipment for the children. (See Page 9 for more information about our Fundraisers.)

    Thank you for your support!

    Christmas at Noah’s Ark On Tuesday, December 15h at 7:00 PM the children from Noah’s Ark will present a celebration of Christmas in word and song for family, friends and any and all who want their spirits lifted. We have been singing Christmas songs for several weeks now and the excitement is beginning to build. The rehearsals are manageable on occasion, but sometimes they are sheer pandemonium. We reach the point where we aren’t sure if it will come off as planned or not. Usually it’s not, but the results are every bit as entertaining as the planned. The program lasts forty-five minutes to an hour and refreshments are served afterwards. If you can find the time in your busy schedule, please come and join us.

    COOKIES NEEDED FOR NOAH’S ARK’S CHRISTMAS PROGRAM Following the program on Tuesday, December 15th, we would like to share some cookies, pretzels and punch. We will be baking cookies at Noah’s Ark, but it’s hard to put a dent into about 36 dozen. We would really appreciate your help and they don’t need to be fancy. It will mostly be children eating the cookies and their tastes are pretty simple. Please call the office at Noah’s Ark (717-765-8146) and let us know how many dozen you can spare. You can bring the cookies to the church Parlor any time from Sunday, December 13 to Tuesday, December 15. Thank you so much for your help!
