e is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
he season after Easter is such a wonderful time
f year. The season brings with it a freshness,
ew beginnings, and new life. You can sense
eoples excitement as the days get longer and
armer. We sense the coming of summer, and
he earth begins to bear more and more beauti-
l colors as flowers begin to grow and bloom.
his past Easter, as I enjoyed the lilies in the
anctuary and the new Orme Memorial Garden,
thought how fresh and welcoming the lilies
ade this house of God appear, and how the
eaceful garden reminded me of Gods presence.
was amazed how fresh flowers and trickling wa-
r made such a difference in the way I felt
bout entering our campus. Our Easter faitheeds to be like these flowers and the garden.
he flowers are like Evangelism 101. A flowers
eautiful colors draw people, and animals, to
hem to enjoy the color and nectar they provide.
We may then go and tell others about how beau-
ful these flowers are, and they will come and
e. Those people may come and bring others,
nd awed by their beauty, they may wish to plant
me of their own. Do you see how this can been as basic Christian evangelism?
ke the flowers the Memorial Garden draws
eople in, not necessarily by its beauty, but by its
eacefulness and its living water. One warm, dry
ay last month I saw three birds drinking from
he fountains. This was marvelous! The garden
minds me of our amazing God. Our God who
ffers peace and solace. Our God who offers re-eshment and living water to a dry people.
pray that as we enter these new days following
he resurrection, we will use the flowers and the
arden as reminders of our life-giving, amazing
ord who reaches out, gives new life, and re-
eshes a dry people.
ving into His resurrection,

Congregational Care Ministry
Prayer Chain & Card Ministry
The prayer chain began in late 2007 with five members. Today we are 25 members who pray for those in
need, not necessarily church members. Members receive email updates as the coordinator receives informa-
tion from the pastor, church secretary, a church member, or from the yellow slips that are in the pews.
Each name is to be uplifted to the Lord during daily prayers for at least two weeks. Names can be added for
various reasons, illness, thanks, death, etc.
The lists of shut-ins from the Sunday bulletin are not to be forgotten. These people are on the permanent
list and are prayed for on a continuing basis.
Cards are sent to those who are hospitalized or have just been added to the prayer list. Cards are sent out as
soon as possible to those in the hospital. Not every person receives a card; the decision is made by the coordi-
nator.
Each card is signed, Your church family at FKPC. A short prayer is added on the blank side of the card let-
ting the receiver know that the prayer chain has been praying for them. This side is signed, Blessings, ThePrayer Chain Team. There is usually a handwritten message in each card.
In addition to prayers, shut-in members who are in long term care or in rehabilitation facilities for an ex-
tended period of time also receive monthly decorated hand-made cards.* This ongoing ministry ensures our
shut-ins they remain in our thoughts and prayers even when they are unable to attend worship services.
*The cards are produced using skills learned at the monthly card making classes hosted by Prudence Pritz. If
you are interested in learning more about card making, please contact Prudence at 236-4141.

DISCIPLESHIP (continued)
Adult Discipleship Ministry
Several months ago someone asked Tom McNeil how we got the New Testament that
have. Opportunity knocked and Tom began planning for a series of classes to answer th
question. The first class inthe series was held March 3; the series will end May 26. Tseries follows logically from our excellent classes with Mary Beth Neely on Islam with
sacred book The Qur'an and Judaism with its devotion to thestudy ofTorah. To study t
New Testament, however, requires some background of the Old Testament as well and
the series will cover both.
The innocent question asked of Tom invites many other questions. How were the 66 books in the Bible select
and others ruled out? Why? When were these decisions made? Who wrote the 39 books of the Hebrew Bible (O
Testament) and the 27 books of the Greek Bible (New Testament)? When are we reading history and when are w
reading legends? What "Bible" was around when Jesus lived? Is the Bible the "Word of the Lord" as we say in Su
day worship or is it more properly the words of humans trying to express their experience of the sacred? Is one tran
lation better than another? You can no doubt add many questions of your own for our beloved teacher to consider
To assist in a better understanding of both the Old and New Testaments, our dedicated FKPC Librarian, Loui
Olivarez, prepared a list of the available library books related to these subjects. (The list was distributed at the fi
class but copies are still available.) Louise also arranged these books for the convenience of library users. As y
walk into the library, look at the left-hand side of the top two shelves and you will find the books prominently d
played.
Coffee time begins at 9:00 am each Sunday morning in the Session Room with class starting at 9:15. Come join
for a fascinating look at how the Old and New Testaments came into being.

A Month of Sundays with Kathy Kuhns
I was asked to form a team of 6 usher captains, each of whom would find usherfor two months out of the year. I was given a list of names and so began my task:
On the third call, April said yes. On the fifth call, Alan said yes. Oh wow,
thought, this is easy! Then, reality set in. Everyone was so nice, so polite, and so
busy. Almost everyone said call me anytime and Ill be glad to usher, but no one
was able to commit. Some were elderly or disabled. Some traveled fre
quently. Many of them I hesitated to call because I see their faces every Sunday ushering, serving communion
reading scripture, greeting. And you know what, Ill be honest, I dont want to commit to usher for a whole
month in a row because theres that trip I want to take to the beach to see my grandchild in March.
Then I thought about a month of Sundays and I have this idea. Can each of you who are able commit to 4 or 5
Sundays in a year? Just 4 or 5! They dont have to be in a row. You pick them. Send the dates to me by phone
or email, with your first choice down to your last choice, and one extra for emergency substitutes. It would b
really cool if some of you would throw in Easter or Christmas. If you give me the dates, I will organiz
them. Get your family together and pick dates so you can usher together. I think we only need 6 per week and
maybe 8 at Christmas and Easter. And someone, probably me or my wonderful two volunteers, will call or emai
to remind you the week before. How much easier to confirm than to recruit!
I am definitely not a recruiter. But I can organize a month of Sundays. Please give them to me. Call the church
office for my phone or email. I have seen the power of the volunteers in this church and I believe we can form
this ministry togetherand sooner than a month of Sundays.

Ah! To Focus On The Perfect Woman
How Refreshing!
Proverbs 31:10-31
OK, men, this is not for your reading; for women only, unless the wife tells you to read it. Dont you love it
when a plan comes together? Now, the truth about women read on!
Now we very well know that
The male is by nature superior and the female inferior; and that one rules, and the other is ruled; this princi-
ple, of necessity, extends to all mankind (Aristotle Politics I, 5).
A husband and father rules over wife and children the rule over children being a royal, over wife a consti-
tutional rule the male is by nature fitter for command than the femaleand the inequality is perma-nent! (Aristotle op cit. I, 12).
Finally, Aristotle quoted Sophocles (Ajax 293):
Silence is a womans glory (that depends on the translation of the Greek text!) (Aristotle op cit. I, 13).
Quite in line, the Apostle Paul said: Yep! Wives, be subject to your husbands (Ephesians 5:22 v. 24). At least
in Colossians 3:19, Paul urged husbands not to be harsh with them. See also I Corinthians 14:34: Women
should remain silent in the churches. Right you are, Paul.
Oh! Where have we gone wrong in society today!!?? Women are taking over!
In the Israelite society, women were, of course, regarded as mothers; ah, how precious the vision of a new-
born male infant in its mothers nurturing arms! If a womans husband were to die, and there were male-heirs
who could inherit the fathers land and possessions, Levirate marriage was the rule of the day: the brother of
the deceased husband would marry the widow to keep possessions in the family. A woman knew her place in
a mans world! Ybetcha! (See Johs. Pedersen 1954 Israel: Its Life and Culture [Copenhagen] 77ff.)
Now, in Paul, a woman was to be subordinate/subject to her husband; the husband, on the other hand, is to
love his wife, because He who loves his wife loves himself (Ephesians 5:28); and, oh, Paul says: this is a great

WORSHIP (continued)WORSHIP (continued)WORSHIP (continued)WORSHIP (continued)mystery (v. 32). Ill bet it was for him! O.K.?
Now read Proverbs 31:10fffor what has been unfortunately labeled as a description of an ideal wife, or, some
thing for a woman to live up to! A brief review: a woman who is a good wife, an ideal wife
- Only does good for her husband, not harm;
- Works with wool and flax (flax = fiber produced linen);- Works with willing hands;
- Brings from afar;
- Rises before daybreak to provide a nourishing meal for her family (You know, breakfast is the most im-
portant meal of the day);
- Considers a field and buys it;
- Plants a vineyard (makes a profit);
- Has a sharp eye for good clothing and material;
- Makes clothing;
- Laughs at the appropriate time! And she
- Opens her mouth with wisdom, whom her children rise up and call her blessed, as does her husband. if
he knows whats good for him!
A wife like this is worth more than precious jewels! Right! And her husband does what during the day? Her hus
band is known in the (city) gates when he sits among the eldersA VIP! Hes on talk-shows all day debating
weighty social justice issues talking, talking, talking, yackity- yack! While his precious wife is working her
fingers to the bone, making decisions for the home, gardening and sewing, providing for her family! Um, why doe
a woman need a husband... if shes doing all the work??!!
What man wouldnt want a woman to obey his beck-and-call (a beck is to motion with the finger to pay at-
tention, listen-up, and do!), to take care of all domestic concerns while the man takes care of social concerns be
fore the City Council! Yes sir! It takes a man to run the city!
This is a tribute to women? To a wife?
When Jesus of Nazareth declared: Who are my mother and my brothers...? Whoever does the will of God is my
brother and sister and mother (Mark 3:33-35), Jesus intentionally broke the back of a male-dominated society,
or, better said, a female-subservient society. This should send shivers up our backs because we have not self-
consciously and deliberately thought through what this means in our family and social relationships. Well, OK,
some people have. So, Id like to leave you with these thoughts from Science News (Vol. 182, #12, December
15, 2012):
Traditional heterosexual marriage has already been destroyed (Bruce Bower Families in Flux, p. 16).
Bower gives a thoughtful review of all sociological research on the make-up of the new family in America; its
not a pretty picture. I think that the Proverbs 31 text has ironically prepared the way for the present situation;
and perhaps were not socially and familially prepared for what weve bitten off. What do you think?
Shalom,
Tom

Why sing in the Choir?
Ive often been asked this as a reply to my question to someone Ive asked to consider becoming a member of the
choir. There are many responses that I could give such as we should use our God-given talents, or we need mor
singers, and so on. However, if we look at the word choir the letters give us the answer:
Character. Choir helps build character. People who sing in the choir give up one night a week and worship
faithfully. These people have real character (some members in the choir are real characters!).
Healthy. Choir makes you healthy. How often do you exercise your lungs? Your lungs are important to living.
If you really want to enjoy living and be healthier, come and sing with us.
Otherwise. Otherwise it wont be as much fun if youre not there. Otherwise youll miss many opportunities to
offer God your expressions of praise and adoration.
Interesting. Youll sing interesting music. Youll hear interesting comments about your singing. Youll meet som
interesting characters (see letter C). Your interest in worship will increase and grow as you prepare to partici
pate in the next Sundays worship.
Relaxation. After a stressful day of decision-making should I sell this, buy that, watch this, cook that it willbe so relaxing to have someone say to you, Sing this!
C.S. Lewis once wrote It seems to me that we must define rather carefully the way, or ways, in which music can
glorify God. There is a sense in which all natural agents, even inanimate ones, glorify God continually by re-
vealing the powers He has given them. And in that sense we, as natural agents, do the same. An excellently per
formed piece of music, as natural operation which reveals in a very high degree the peculiar powers given to ind
viduals, will thus always glorify God whatever the intention of the performers may be. But that is a kind of glori-
fying which we share with the dragons and great deeps, with the frost and snows. What is looked for in us, as
individuals, is another kind of glorifying, which depends on intention. How easy or how hard it may be for a
whole choir to preserve that intention through all the discussions and decisions, all the corrections and the dis-appointments, all the temptations to pride, rivalry and ambition, which precede the performance of a great work
I (naturally) do not know. But it is on the intention that all depends. When it succeeds, I think the performers
are the most enviable of people; privileged while mortals to honor God like angels and, for a few golden mo-
ments, to see spirit and flesh, delight and labor, skill and worship, the natural and the supernatural, all fused into
that unity they would have had before the Fall. How eloquent.
Our choir is made up of volunteers. No audition is necessary. The voice you are born with is Gods gift to you;
the use of your voice is your gift to God.
With a song in my heart,
Rick
