C O L U M N SA newsletter of First Congregational Church – Wauwatosa

2017 Moderator's Report As I reflect on the past year, I am grateful and humbled to have served as Moderator. It has been a monumental year marked by the 175th anniversary of the founding of the First Congregational Church of Wauwatosa. We kicked off the celebration with a Pig Roast on Ridge Court on Rally Sunday. Since then it has been an active and busy year, and it is hard to put into words my gratitude for the support I have received.

We are a blessed church, with a dedicated staff and mem-bership, focused on doing God’s work as Disciples of Christ. To the wonderful lay leaders of our church, who serve on boards and committees, your time, commitment, and dedica-tion is much appreciated, and I say thank you. In addition to

board and committee members, we have many others who serve our church leading Bible studies, making meals, singing in the choir, assisting with the children's ministries and church programming, and many other activities of service. Again, I say thank you. We are doing many good things!!

In addition to the time members give to serve our church and the many benevolent oppor-tunities offered, our church membership continues to be very generous. A balanced budget was presented with the average pledge the highest it has been in eleven years. While this is wonderful, we have fewer members (pledge units) carrying the load to meet the financial needs of the church. With two major proposed capital projects on the horizon (Chancel and Elevator), our congregation will need to give prayerful consideration on how to pay for these projects if we, as a church, decide to move forward with them. Our church building is a precious asset that we must take care of to meet the needs of our congregation and the greater community. While Moderator, my focus has been on mission and service that our church can offer in-ternally and to the greater community. If our church is going to thrive in the future, we need to continue to provide programming that our active members want and also to reach out to the greater community and to provide opportunities for members and non-members to con-nect with our church. As we face challenges, we need to look at the way we “do church” dif-ferently. This does not mean “changing” what we currently offer or “changing” who we are. It means “adding” to the great history and traditions we already offer. Long Range Planning, with the support of the Church Council, continues to meet to look at ways to attract new members and families and grow FCC’s visibility in the community. This will not happen overnight, but if our membership is engaged and we are committed to spreading God’s love and word, our efforts will be fruitful. ~ Many Blessings, Nick Sgarlata, Moderator

ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE – Wednesday, February 14 at Noon "The Question" - Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, a season of preparation. This coming Ash Wednesday we will hold a worship service in the Chapel for scripture readings and to explore the questions that the Lenten season presents to us. This year the Ash Wednesday Service is planned for 20 minutes at Noon in order to provide our members with the opportunity to begin Lent at an informal time allowing you to attend during the lunch hour. Ashes will be available after the service if you wish. ~ Pastor Barry

Off the Top of My Head My most vivid memories of the Lenten season growing up are of my Catholic friends giving some-thing up such as a favorite food or a bad habit. While I was aware of its spiritual roots, it didn’t seem to be terribly fruitful. In each of the churches I have served I have become fond of Lent as a time for spiri-tual growth. Every year has brought new studies and programs that have helped my understanding of my faith and relationship with God. The 40 days of Lent begin on Ash Wednesday - First Church will hold a brief prayer service at noon in the chapel where those who wish to, may receive ashes. In addition, the Board of Deacons will be sponsoring four Lenten dinners on February 28, and March 7, 14, & 21st. At these dinners the Deacons have asked Barry and me to lead a family-oriented time before our meal. We will be focusing on four of Jesus' parables. Our hope is to provide an opportunity for intergenerational interaction and a time of fel-lowship for our church family. The meals will be provided and we will conclude early enough for children’s bedtimes in order to enable families to be a part of these Lenten Dinners. I hope you will make a personal commitment to take this Lenten journey of growth. ~ Bill

Ash Wednesday ServiceFebruary 14 - Ash Wednesday Service (12 noon) - no meal served at this service

Lenten Wednesday Evening GatheringsThe 2018 Lenten programming will revolve around four of the parables. This program series, led by Revs. Trump and Szymanski, will be family-oriented and promote interaction among the age groups.

The four dates in Lent are: February 28th: Soup and SaladMarch 7th: Pizza and SaladMarch 14th: Taco Salad March 21st: Rotisserie Chicken & Potato Salad

The program will be from 6:00 PM to 7:15 PM. Deacons will provide the main course and salad, (free-will offerings appreciated), and attendees are welcome to bring a dessert or side dish. A sign-up sheet is located on the Gathering Table.

Please join Rev. Trump, Rev. Szymanski and fellow church members in this opportunity to broaden your Christian faith. Everyone is welcome! ~ Cathy Trump, Chairman Board of Deacons

Large Projects

As we begin the new year, we are considering two large projects for our Church. Last year we accepted the AD Hoc committee's, Board of Trustee's and the Church Council's recommendation to keep moving forward on the Chancel Remodeling proposal. There were several meetings conducted with members of the congregation which were informational. We fielded several excellent questions but there was one that was asked in all the meetings, "What about the elevator?" The elevator is the second project and we realize that before the congregation could decide on the Chancel they would need all the information on the elevator to make an informed decision on both.

During the month of February we will conduct meetings every Sunday at 11:15 a.m. for the Elevator Project allowing time for a cup of coffee and some of us to get our cookie fix! The meetings will be informational, show the process and the progress so far. We will take questions and if need be, will research them and commu-nicate the answers to the congregation. At this time we will meet in Room 107, but we can move to another area of the Church if the response is too large for that room.

Once this is completed we would then request the architects to produce the construction drawings required to actually build the elevator. That is when we would get the most accurate bids from contractors. At that time we would be able to make a formal presentation to the congregation for discussion and questions. This may lead to a vote on moving forward with the projects and funding methods.

We invite and encourage all mem-bers to attend one of the February meetings, and in the Congregational Way, we pray for guidance to decide what will be done. ~ Butch Boyd

Be a Secret Buddy!

Four years ago, we started this program with the intent to connect the gen-erations of our church. It has been a smashing success!

This year, during Lent, our children in 1st - 5th grades will again be 'pen pals' with our members who are adults. Then, they will meet their Secret Buddy after worship on April 15th.

More details will follow, but we are seeking adult volun-teers to be a Buddy to one of our church children as soon as possible. This way, we can get our children and adults paired up and ready to start the program in February. We know that, as in past years, this will be a rewarding experi-ence for both the children and the adults.

Please let Tonia know if you are interested in participating, either in person, via email (tonia@firstchurchtosa.org), or via phone (414-258-7375 ext. 230).

Consider this....from Rev. Barry Rabbi Delphine Horvilleur, a female Rabbi in Paris [where female Rabbi’s are not accepted by France’s central Jewish authority] recently stated, “It’s as if religion is a museum . . . There’s so much nostalgia for a ‘pure’ past that never actually existed. Our goal is . . . to say, ‘We are what we are, but our texts, our beliefs, they are not locked in a box.’ ” In November 2017 Horvilleur published a book — “1,001 Ways of Being Jewish or Muslim” — with Rachid Benzine, one of France’s most prominent advocates for a liberal, progres-sive Islam. The book is a defense of the plurality of religious identity, and a call to reclaim religions from leaders who “favor the return of obscurantisms, an isolation from the rest of the world and a rejection — sometimes deadly — of ‘others.’ ” Horvilleur, in stating her opinion, confronts what is a worldwide clash in many religions. On one side are

those who perceive that they need to preserve what they sense to be ancient and long established religious beliefs. On the other side are those who strive to keep beliefs on pace with evolving culture by integrating their religious faith in God with modern life. In a way this second group is Darwinistic in that its adherents believe that our understanding of God must keep evolving as society develops and matures. For example, slavery once accepted by civilization is now abhorred. Another example is the progressive change in soci-ety regarding the expectant roles in both marriage and parenting of husbands and fathers, wives and mothers. There is validity in the belief of both groups, those who want the status quo, and those who want to see God in the present digital world. However, the second group criticizes the first as wanting to revert to a fantasy past, and the first group, criticizes the second group as forgetting God’s origi-nal manifestation to us. Is there a middle ground we Christians can present to the world? Bill's and my anxieties as pastors is that when we go out into the larger world we meet some individuals whose perception of Christians is that we are narrow-minded individuals incapable of understanding the human condition because our belief system is of an archaic God. Yet instead what Bill, most Christians, and I actually experience is a God-with-us-here-now, who is a God of joy and humor, mercy and compassion, and unlimited love. For example, our church’s invitation for Sikhs and Muslims to present their faiths to us has been well accepted, and rightly so be-cause Jesus’ clear parable of the Good Samaritan cannot be misinterpreted - everyone is our neighbor. God’s Kingdom is open to all. As believers in God we cannot ignore what Jesus teaches. And who our neighbor is enlarges every year as we learn more and more about the vast world around us, and as we see the needs of all peoples shown in media. As we realize who are our neighbors and their hardships, we can identify with Horvilleur and agree that our God cannot be locked in a box . . . we are what we are . . . the ‘pure’ past never actually existed . . . and we cannot be isolationists who reject others. We are not preservers of an ancient archaic God; instead we must carefully listen to Jesus’ declaration that he is the vine and we are the branches. He further stated that we will bear fruit as we abide in Him. I find it thought-provoking that the symbolism which Jesus presents us is one of growth - a vine. Jesus did not say we are an unmovable brick foundation. Instead Jesus told us that we will be nurtured by him, and thereby grow and then live! Unfortunately Jesus also taught [the part of his instruction we don’t want to remem-ber] is that if a branch on a vine does not bear fruit it will wither, and it will be pruned and cut off from the vine. God’s church cannot be a museum. Our church is certainly not a museum. We seek to see God in scripture and history, and also in our modern world by giving God full expression in our lives and what we do in His name. Our additional effort is to guard against letting not just our church, but the Body of Christ from being just a museum. That must never happen. [See John 15:1-6] ~ Rev. Dr. Barry W. Szymanski
