Greater Lexington (KY) CROP
Hunger Walk The Greater Lexington (KY) CROP Hunger
Walk registration is open!
In 2021, we will continue to fight against
the challenges of disease, disaster, dis-
placement, and other concerns that leave
people hungry. Join with us as we raise
funds to help neighbors near and far get
the meals they need for today and sustain-
able food security for tomorrow!
So far, we have raised $400 in online
donations and $361.41 in Facebook
donations or reported cash and checks!
Your generosity and fundraising will
make a world of difference:
$15 Chickens for a Family: Chickens
provide a constant supply of eggs
(protein), helping children become
stronger and healthier.
$30 Biosand Water Filter: Provide a
family with fresh, clean water for drinking,
washing and cooking.
$65 Two Months of Meals: Enough to
provide nearly two months of meals for a
family of four in the U.S. through the CWS
network of partner food banks.
CWS and CROP Hunger Walks: CROP
Hunger Walks are community-based walk
events held in cities and towns across the
United States, raising funds to support the
global mission of Church World Service,
a faith-based organization transforming
communities around the globe through just
and sustainable responses to hunger,
poverty, displacement and disaster.
25% of the funds raised are returned to
the host community to support local
hunger fighting efforts.
Background: The Crop Project was
organized in 1947 when farmers were
asked to donate food and seed crops to
our hungry neighbors in post-World War II
Europe and Asia, a program that soon
became known as the Christian Rural
Overseas Program - CROP. In 1969 in
Bismarck, North Dakota, and in 1970 in
York, Pennsylvania, the first walk events
were organized to raise funds to support
CROP. Since then, CROP Hunger Walk
events have been held in hundreds of
communities large and small raising
millions of dollars to eradicate hunger
and poverty.
Get Involved: Hunger is one of the
greatest injustices facing our world,
but it doesn’t have to be this way. Ending
hunger is possible, and it is possible in
our lifetime. You can help make it
happen. Register for your local CROP
Hunger Walk, raise funds, and take us
one step closer to ending hunger once
and for all. Join the movement!

Through
the Eyes
of Faith
You may notice that when it comes
time for the Prayer of Confession in
worship, I either have my hymnal
open to #571 or I have it printed. I
cannot seem to commit the prayer to
memory. If I do not have it in front of
me I invariably get a line wrong or
out of place – and I am supposed to
be leading us.
I do not have that trouble with
hymns.
For whatever curious reason my
brain works the way it does, I have
much of many of the hymns
memorized. The words of the
stanzas come back to me without
effort; which is wonderful, because
alongside the Psalms, hymns are my
“go to” when I need a spiritual boost.
During the worst of COVID, when
the church building felt so empty, the
hymn that was near to me so often
was,
“The church’s one foundation is
Jesus Christ our Lord; We are his
new creation by water and the
Word; From heaven he came and
sought us to be his holy bride;
With his own blood he bought us,
and for our life he died.”
The hymn that deeply speaks to my
spirit, and was the only hymn I had
to have included in my ordination
service was:
“Be thou my vision, O Lord of
my heart; naught be all else to me,
save that thou art. Thou my best
thought, by day or by night,
waking or sleeping, thy presence
my light.”
This morning as I think back on the
lives of those we have lost in the past
couple of months, the rise of the
Delta variant, and all the turmoil in our
world, this is the hymn that is remind-
ing me to stay steady and press on.
“On Christ the solid rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.”
Which hymns speak to you? Music
and hymnody are so much a part of
our worship, so much a part of our
spiritual journey that they lift us when
we are down, assure us when we are
wavering, and remind us to rejoice.
Which hymns speak to you?
“Joyful, joyful, we adore You,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before
You, Op'ning to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!”
May the Lord indeed fill us with the
light of day.
Peace be with you,
Jerry

Shawna Mitchell
Children’s Ministry Coordinator
I love it when I hear someone use my name.
Are you like that? When I am out and about,
walking through a parking lot, and someone
hollers my name out of a car across the parking
lot, I love it. I love it when I’m talking to someone, and they say
my name. I love to hear my name spoken over a loudspeaker
in accolades or written in print in a publication. I have always
loved hearing my name.
In the world of the classroom, we are encouraged to use
children’s names when we speak to them. Particularly in the
beginning weeks of the year when the transitions are new. The students,
moved up into their new grade, with a new teacher, often feel out of sorts
in that new environment. They see the teacher as their one and only ally.
We they hear their name spoken, in positive overtones, a sense of
community and inclusion is created. The student feels welcomed and
ultimately feels at home.
This isn’t a child focused phenomenon either. Studies show, that saying
one’s name creates serotonin and oxytocin (feel good brain chemicals)
in the brain. Just the same as seeing a familiar face in a lonely crowd
or realizing that a friend is present in a room full of strangers, the act
of someone saying your name pulls you closer into belonging within
that space.
I am so looking forward to incorporating this more in the youth group
setting this fall. We have some great programming planned that balances
Meditative Cognitions with Biblical lessons, Outreach Missions with Social
gatherings, and Outings with just old school fun. The Youth Group on
Sundays at 4:00 p.m. (to 6:00 p.m.) is BACK! One Wednesday Mission
events each month are BACK! FCC Outings are BACK! We are back!
I can’t even contain my happiness with it all.
Let’s join in together and make these moments count, once again. Let us
use each other’s names and create beautiful memories. Let us fill our cups
up with love and fill other’s cups up with feel good brain chemicals. Let us
fill each other with the love of Jesus and doing good for our neighbor and
our world. Children, Youth, Families and First Christian Church... we are
calling each of you, by name, back to be with us! Welcome home!
*P.S... when you see me from far away, feel free to “holla’ my name
loudly!!” It makes my WHOLE day!
You are loved! Shawna

Back-to-School / Backpack
Programs
The 2021-22 school year is upon us and
the Family Resource and Youth Service
Centers of the Clark Public Schools with
share in our Monthly Missions Emphasis
for August.
Due to the advanced planning required
for Readifest, which would have started
back in February, the school system
determined the best way to reach those
families in need will be through each
school’s open house when classes start.
The 2021 Backpack funds raised will be
shared with all 8 Resource Centers for
the purchase of backpacks, shoes and
clothing this year.

Statement of Identity We are Disciples of Christ, a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. As part of the one body of Christ, we welcome all to the Lord’s Table as God has welcomed us. If we are who we profess to be, then we must do as the Lord directs. Matthew 22:9 says “Go therefore into the main streets, and invite everyone you find to the wedding banquet.” There is room at the Lord’s Table for all God’s children. Let us come together to celebrate the bread of heaven.
