Psalm 1:3

Dear Riversiders,Someone in a meeting last week made it clear that “stewardship is not a season but a lifestyle”. How right she was. Stewardship is simply the way we use our lives and resources in response to our faith in God. Or, stewardship is how we reconcile our life with our faith; the way we bring together what we believe with what we do with our lives.

Jesus said this clearly in the gospels, “from everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded” (Luke 12:48). Apparently there will be an accounting, a reckoning at some point - a “reconciling” of the books - when we will have to balance the “much we have been given” with how responsibly we used it for God’s kingdom. This is not so much a threat as a mission directive. It does, however, challenge us to question, “as a faithful Christian am I using my God-given gifts the way God wants?” “Am I living my life in the way Jesus taught us?”

Keeping with our mission statement “A Movement for Reconciliation” the Stewardship Committee is promoting this year’s theme, “Footsteps Toward Reconciliation” based on the adage, “a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step”. This reminds me of a Frederich Buechner quote, “If you want to know where a person’s heart is, look to see where their feet take them”. Our journey of stewardship will culminate when we take our steps toward the goal of reconciling our lives with our faith on November 5. Then we will walk our commitments of time, talent, and treasure to the table, renewing our journey, step by step, to be accountable to God’s many gifts.

Gratefully,

Worship Greeting “Greet all brothers and sisters with a holy kiss”...............................1 Thessalonians 5:26

Saint Paul was eager to have the early Church show grace-filled hospitality and welcoming. Your Worship Council is asking each of you to greet our members and visitors before worship begins. As you are able, step outside in front of the sanctuary for a few moments of greeting. Extend this to those

entering worship on Sundays. If we all made ourselves available occasionally, with greetings, we would truly be “living joyfully, following Christ”.

NEW ORGAN PROGRESS As of September 15, 2017

You, no doubt, have noted visually a limited amount of activity in the chancel. On the South side, the chancel risers have been removed in the anticipation of scaffolding needed for the removal of pipes, etc. from the South organ chamber. Temporary risers and folding chairs are in place. On the North side, the risers cannot be removed until the console is removed. Then the same activity will occur. Bright and early on Monday, October 16, the team from R.A.Colby Inc. will begin the process of dismantling and removal. The first thing to be removed will be the console. Immediately after removal, RPC’s contractor will be able to remove the risers. Scaffolding can then be put in place for work on the South chamber. All scaffolding will be removed once the entire organ has departed. Work should take from one to two weeks. Their work will not interfere with Sunday services nor Bell Choir rehearsal. During that time they will also be installing an electric organ for temporary use until August or September when the new organ will become functional. There have been an immense number of details which had to be planned and scheduled to ready the chancel, the pipe chambers, and even the basement. Alan Bliss and the P & M committee have done a remarkable job in detailed preparation. In the meantime the Colby engineers, as well as our organ consultant, have been hard at work finalizing the organ design and the engineering drawings for the project. Only the drawings for the digital stops have yet to be completed. Computer renderings of the visual have been provided, which far exceed our expectations.

If you have any questions, please let me or Alan Bliss know. I should be back in town by Oct. 1.Carl Zacheis2

Christian Education

3

Dr. Philip Jenkins, the renowned expert on the Future of Religion, especially Future Christendom, will make three presentations on the subject in Jacksonville. He will draw on the extensive new scholarship that has appeared in recent years. He is known for his penetrating analysis of the decline of Christianity in the Global North and its enormous success in the Global South. He will explore the emerging reality of a Future Christendom, both its continued growth but also further division and conflict within itself and with other religions. He will address how Christianity will continue to contribute to the liberation of the poor and how it will interact and/or react to an increasing secularism. The first two presentations are free and open to the public. Monday’s lunch is by reservation only. For further information call St. John's Cathedral at 904 356 5507.

Global Outreach & Peace Making

What Community Issue Do You Pray About?At ICARE’s “house meetings”, we ask, “What concerns you?” We really LISTEN to one another without judgment as we share what deeply troubles us and what we hope for in our First Coast area. We talk about the changes we pray for as a beginning step toward working for specific social change.ICARE is an interfaith justice advocacy group. All Riversiders and their friends are invited to attend the house meeting on Monday, October 2, at 6:30 pm at the home of Mary and Nathan Ballantine(133 West 3rd St, 32206) in the Springfield neighborhood. We can make a difference and make Jacksonville a better place for all by working together!

Welcome the Immigrant Among YouCognizant of the many Biblical teachings about hospitality to the stranger and to the vulnerable in our communities, we are forming an “Immigration Resettlement Support Team”. We need a handful of Riversiders (at least 8-15) who will be on the team, walking side-by-side with one new immigrant family in Jacksonville. There are refugees from war and other new arrivals in our midst who really need practical help in adjusting to American life. If you have questions or are interested in finding out more about this ministry, contact Jenny Parker at 303-9400. Be on our “Good Neighbor” team!

Recycling: A Small Thing Makes a Big ImpactRiverside’s recycling program has expanded! Have you noticed the collection boxes located strategically around our campus? They are in Bittinger Hall, the Library, and in the Kissling Kitchen and Auditorium. Set an example for others and help make Riverside a more responsible consumer! NOTE that we recycle clean paper, plastic and soda cans, but no food or liquids.

Replace Trees Lost During IrmaJoin with fellow Riversiders for a morning of treeplanting! Save the date: Saturday, November 4. We will plant trees provided by Greenscape in and around Panama Park. As part of our role as stewards of God’s creation, we need to replace some of the tree canopy lost during the recent storm season. Enjoy great fellowship and a little outdoor exercise as we work together to restore our natural environment.

Mission of the Month – DESC (Downtown Ecumenical Services Council)DESC proclaims the love of Christ by helping those in need. When a family lives paycheck to paycheck, the smallest thing can be a crisis. If the car breaks down, if the children need clothes for school, if someone gets ill or has an accident, bills can mount quickly. Fortunately, DESC is there to help those in need. By providing groceries and basic clothing, DESC helps families free up money that can be used to pay bills. And when a deep financial crisis hits, DESC provides financial assistance to help pay the rent or the mortgage or the electric bill. Almost every workday in 2016, DESC provided financial assistance to an individual or family. The average amount of assistance was about $350. DESC carefully screens its clients to verify needs, and tracks each client to spot problems and prevent abuse. Through this individualized and attentive approach, DESC helps families stay in their homes, stay together and avoid moving down the path of delinquency, ruined credit, eviction and homelessness. 12,187 families were served by DESC in 2016, receiving groceries, clothing and, when needed, cash assistance. DESC is one of the few food pantries in Greater Jacksonville that is open five days a week. DESC receives no government funding. Its entire $442,620 annual budget must be provided by charitable grants and contributions. Thanks to donations of food, clothing and office space, DESC is able to provide substantive help to families at a nominal cost. Volunteers are the key to making DESC work. DESC has only 5 part-time staff. 30+ volunteers stock shelves, fold and tag clothes, bag rice, drive trucks and meet with clients. According to the United Way, 163,746 households in Duval, Clay and Nassau counties cannot afford basic needs such as housing, child care, food, health care and transportation. While many of these families meet the definition of “poverty,” the majority have incomes that are above the poverty line but insufficient to make ends meet.
