PASTOR’S CORNER

I’ve always been reasonably cognizant of my responsibilities as a

consumer in our complex web of globalized economy. Though it’s not

always easy to turn a deaf ear to “cheap premium” products calling my

name, I, like many others, have been trying to see the big picture,

reminding myself that people far away, many of them children, continue

to endure blood, sweat and tears just to put a smile on this shopper’s face.

Coffee is one of those commodities.

My recent preoccupation with finding ways to brew great tasting coffee at

home has made me inattentive to the underbelly of the global coffee trade.

I have long suspected foul play, but I was prepared to forego politics

because, I reasoned, enjoying your daily cup of coffee shouldn’t oblige

you to undergo self-flagellation, having to brave accusations of complicity

in unethical, let alone criminal endeavor.

I enjoy a good cup of coffee; it’s a daily ritual I cannot do without. By the

time you read this, with anticipation I’ll be grinding coffee beans in my

new $20 burr grinder from Amazon. The pleasure however might be cut

short as Song will undoubtedly gripe about my undisciplined shopping

habit on coffee products, grumbling, “You’ve bought another thing for

coffee? Again?!” (In addition to my recently purchased and often used

French Press, I also have a Keurig and Mr. Coffee, which, contrary to

Song’s allegation, have not been abandoned but are taking an extended

hiatus.)

Though I was perfectly poised to allow my taste bud to override my brain,

my recent surge of interest in coffee has, by accident, led me to the politics

of coffee, rekindling my resolve to enjoy my cup of coffee without “the

bitter taste” in my mouth. I’ve learned that coffee is the world's second

most valuable traded commodity (first is oil). It was traditionally

developed as a colonial cash crop, planted by serfs or wage laborers. It

seems not much has changed concerning the second largest traded

commodity. Coffee producers, like most agricultural workers around the

world, are kept in a cycle of poverty and debt by the current global

economy designed to exploit cheap labor and keep consumer prices low.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, coffee is produced with

forced labor and with child labor. The International Labor Organization

(ILO) estimates that there are 250 million working children, 120 million

of whom work full time (no school), in order to provide for their struggling

Page 8: The Chalice - WordPress.com · 2016-04-08 · happening in each of our communities, and we helped put it there. I don’t say this to make us feel guilty; your guilt does little good

families. But it’s not all bad news. In 2000, the U.S. imported around 4.3

million pounds of Fair Trade Certified coffee. Ten years later, the amount

increased to almost 109 million pounds.

Presbyterians Today has put out a special January/February 2016 issue

that focuses on human trafficking (modern slavery)--“Children of God-not

for sale.” It’s a troubling expose of an interconnected mechanism that

could even turn someone who might be appalled at the mere mention of

slavery into an unsuspecting accomplice; think coffee. Patrick David

Heery, the editor of Presbyterians Today, however, reminds us that

awareness, not guilt, can be a source of empowerment:

We often think of trafficking as something that someone

else does somewhere else. The truth, however, is that it’s

happening in each of our communities, and we helped put

it there.

I don’t say this to make us feel guilty; your guilt does little

good to anyone. Rather, by recognizing our role in the root

causes of trafficking, we are empowered to make a dent in

modern slavery. Each of us alone will not put an end to this

$32 billion industry. But we can make a difference...

Whether watching Joseph at the Sight and Sound Millennium Theater or

reading about him in the Bible, we are accustomed to condemning

Joseph’s brothers. The hard truth, the painful truth, however, is that “we”-

-as Heery correctly states--“like Joseph’s brothers, sell the people we are

supposed to love,” in our innocuous quest for a great tasting cup of coffee,

if we’re not mindful. Surely, it’s not about guilt; it’s about awareness.

Intentional lifestyle changes that stem from this awareness can alleviate

the suffering of our neighbors who live thousands of miles away. Let us

join our fellow Presbyterians and conscientious partners in imitating

foolishness, welcoming inconvenience (search for Fair Trade

commodities) and sacrifice (not exactly a bargain), to fight human

trafficking and forced labor, to offer abundant life to all.

OUR MUSIC

Our Beloved Hymns

As promised, the hymn cycle begins anew. Hymns and melodies that we know and love resurface with the New Year. In 2015 we learned 5 new melodies. Each time we try a new hymn we evaluate whether it was an easy response. A Cheering, Chanting, Dizzying

Crowd didn’t pass the muster; and not because we didn’t like it; but because, after using it on the only day it works, Palm Sunday, we decided there are too many other familiar hymns for that feast that we would rather sing.

Those that were successful selections were, All Who Hunger, Gather Gladly; Will You Come and Follow Me; Christ, be Our Light and Your Only

Son. Those hymns will be used again in 2016

The other interesting success story with new hymns is the texts set to tunes we already know. There were a dozen examples throughout this last year; I shall share three of them. God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending is sung to the tune BEACH SPRING. We sang it from our old hymnal and this year sang it from the new. Often congregants will mention to me, “that hymn seemed familiar and was easy to sing, but we just don’t know it.” Sure we do! The next time you sing that melody you will be singing the text, Wash, O God, Your Sons & Daughters or Loaves Were Broken, Words Were Spoken. Do you see how appropriate text can be implemented into our service without new hymn melodies? That is what has been happening this past year.

Another example is the hymn tune LAND OF REST. Do you know the melody we use for the Holy, Holy and Christ Has Died acclamations on Communion Sunday? Did you recognize it when we sang it twice last year with the text We Come to You for Rest? And…the same tune is used for Lord, Bid Your Servant Go In Peace, a concluding hymn later this year.

Page 10: The Chalice - WordPress.com · 2016-04-08 · happening in each of our communities, and we helped put it there. I don’t say this to make us feel guilty; your guilt does little good

The tune HOLY MANNA is a hymn text in itself; Presbyterians have sung it for a hundred years. In the past we used it as the hymn God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens. This year we used the tune with the text, Brethren, We Have Met to Worship.

This next season prepare for the return of: Great Is Thy Faithfulness; Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing; O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing; Arise, Your Light Has Come; We Are One in the Spirit (You know, that old campfire song); Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above; Here I Am, Lord; Will You Come and Follow Me; Jesus, Take Us To the Mountain; Be Thou My Vision; To God be the Glory.

Organ News

Uh oh! Did you hear the chime melody on O Come, O Come, Emmanuel miss a note? That was because the E above middle C played correctly on the 1st Sunday of Advent; but on the 2nd Sunday it failed to play. So part way through the solo line, the organist ‘changed the melody!’ That’s one of those pesky things with a pipe organ. One never knows when something is going to pop; and it’s never at a good time; it happened the weekend our violin guests were here. I hope it won’t be a big event in the spring when the organ tuner comes because not having one note for a particular rank of solo pipes ruins the entire rank, leaving it unusable.

This same problem exists with solo ranks on the Swell-Oboe and Cornopean as well as the Great-Trumpet; interestingly, all on the same pitch. David Craig and I sat down and pounded (sort of) on the blank notes and suddenly they came back. These issues aren’t as pressing as the chime note, but someday we will need to remove the entire 3 ranks and have then cleaned. This was what we did with the wooden pipes last year. Fear not! There is no current need to anticipate organ expense for a while; but it’s always good to keep issues in the back of our minds to be ready for future problems.

Love Letters

As we glance through the announcements section of the Sunday bulletin, we can note that day's recipient of a Love Letter.

The Deacons encourage you to find the Love Letter on the lectern next to the piano and take a quick moment to write a note or simply sign with 'thinking of you' on the letter. This is one way that we as a caring congregation can personally connect who those who need a meaningful note to brighten their day.

DEACONS’ GREETING CARD COLLECTION

Each month the Deacons forward a variety of greeting cards to members and friends of First Church.

And in December, the Presbyterian Women bundled and wrapped cards from your donations as gifts to the Presbyterian Home residents during our annual Christmas party there. This year, many expressed how lovely the cards were as well as their sincere appreciation.

Thank you and continue to fill the basket in the Lounge so we can build another great collection this year.

SOUPer BOWL OF CARING

SOUPer Bowl Sunday is one way to help our area Food Pantry and Family Promise to assist people in need. It is an effort to glorify God and care for “the least of these” by giving nonperishable food items for Super Bowl Sunday, February 7.

Food focus is chunky soups, saltines, healthy snacks, and canned fruit.

Donations can be placed in the soup pots in the church lounge beginning January 10. Our collection totals will be tallied during the Super Bowl game and then distributed locally. Reporting your collection enables the full impact of this simple act of caring to be determined and announced.

DEACONS’ ONGOING EYEGLASSES COLLECTION

We are so encouraged to see a continual supply of eyewear that we can forward to the Lions Club for recycling.

Please continue to place your used prescription or non-prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, clip-ons, and cases in the designated basket that is back in the Lounge.

SHEPHERD OF THE STREETS

Clients at the Shepherd of the Streets need 2016 calendars to keep track of their appointments. If you have any type or size (even pocket size) of calendars that you can donate, a drop-off box is now in the Lounge for your convenience. Let's put to good use all of those extra calendars we often receive from various charities or businesses.

And of course, the hallway bin is available for your donations of personal hygiene items as well as bedding.

PAPER RECYCLING

Please find the basket as you exit the Sanctuary into the Lounge for Coffee and Fellowship to recycle today’s bulletins unless you want yours

to take home. Also, Karen graciously receives any type of paper for recycling in the church office.

CHANCEL FLOWERS

We begin the new year with so many opportunities for providing Chancel flowers.

Please consider looking over your new calendars to highlight special times throughout the year when you might want to honor family and friends or just to enhance worship services in praise of our Heavenly Father.

Remember that each Sunday someone from the congregation, a shut-in, or at a local nursing home receives your flower offering to brighten their days ahead.

Available Dates: January 17 & 31 February 7, 21 & 28

SHEPHERD OF THE STREETS

Of all the attributes of God, it

is interesting that one in

particular has become the standard

of the Christmas season. Love,

Light, Peace, Joy, etc., are all

acknowledged during this

celebration, but it is Mercy that

becomes most evidenced in behavior. People will

give time, talent, and treasure extraordinarily,

seek to serve in some capacity that satisfies this

divine inclination. Serving the poor, especially

the homeless, and most especially children comes

to the fore during this season. Even unbelievers

feel this stirring within. No wonder commercialism

of such a holy season has proliferated to the

chagrin and embarrassment of most of us, for such

does not represent true mercy, but most often self

desire and/or resentment. No wonder the image of

the jolly elf who brings toys and technology has

taken the place of the Holy Babe, swaddled and

lying in a manger, who brings rebirth and divine

potential to all born of natural generation.

Mercy sees beyond rules of conduct and bits of

character to intent and consequence and emits a

purpose rather than judgment, a passion for

deliverance and reconciliation. Mercy is not ruled

by fairness, but by favor (grace) which is

attributable to God alone, extending grace that is

beyond human perception, refrains from demanding

a return, but rather forbears in charity and

compassion ever ready to forgive.

Mercy can make final judgment on no one, but mercy

and justice must entwine with hope, making a three-

fold cord strong and able to bundle God’s grace

with man’s faith, anticipating the better with an

optimism that provides peace presentiment of

heaven.

Thank you for your contributions of hygiene

items, baby needs, and bedding. We appreciate

your continued support.

Welcome is a word I often hear at the pantry. It’s heard as a greeting as someone comes through the door. It’s heard after someone has says Thanks and their kind acknowledgment is greeted with approval. And now “Welcome Mona” will be the words on everyone’s lips when they come in the pantry door.

Mona Rundio has just accepted the position as our Food Pantry Coordinator, and she began on December 7. Mona lives in Montoursville with her daughter, Autumn. They are active members of Montoursville Presbyterian Church. She has a background in hotel and restaurant management and is looking forward to joining the team at the Pantry, meeting each of you and learning how everything works there. So drop by and ... welcome Mona!

We assist about 450-475 people each month, and we appreciate your continued generosity.

A TRIP TO NEW YORK CITY - THOUGHTS ON 9/11

This past year, Victor, our oldest son, Kevin, and I had the privilege of

traveling to New York City and visiting the 9/11 site and museum. It was

a very moving experience and was highlighted by discovering a small

church not even half a block from ground zero. We stumbled across it

walking to the museum and learned of St. Paul's miraculous survival as an

intact place of respite and ministry for the rescue workers. St. Paul's has

a rich historical background but really shined following this national

tragedy.

The following article is superbly written by Kayla Darling, a senior at

Lycoming College and who attends services at First Church, as she shares

my recollections. Ann Recchi

“It stood. Not a window broken.

Not a Stone dislodged.

It stood when nothing else did.

It stood when terrorists brought

September down.

It stood among myths. It stood among ruins.

To stand was its purpose, long lines prove that.”

The hustle and bustle of New York City passes along the sidewalk of

Broadway and Fulton Street. A tall church stands there, pillars supporting

the front, a lone spire reaching

skyward, its brown-and-white

exterior warm and welcoming in

the morning sunlight. Stepping

beyond the fence into the church

yard is like stepping into another

world; the chaotic streets fade

abruptly into a sense of calm. If

one didn’t enter the church or

move to the garden out back, it

would be easy to miss that this

building, despite being directly

near the Twin Towers on 9/11, survived the attack, and it would be easy

to miss its history.

Page 20: The Chalice - WordPress.com · 2016-04-08 · happening in each of our communities, and we helped put it there. I don’t say this to make us feel guilty; your guilt does little good

When the planes crashed into the Twin Towers, locals say that the St.

Paul’s Church was spared by a large tree that blocked the brunt of the

debris. During the chaos that followed, first responders and volunteers

would stop in the chapel to rest, their gear still on, scraping the pews and

leaving memories of their actions

behind. Church volunteers

thronged to help, offering prayer

and service to those valiantly doing

what they could to ease the pain of

that day. For the next eight months

they continued to offer aid and

service to those affected by the

attacks.

Now, years later, the scratched pews

remain as a memorial. A uniform, plastered with badges from volunteers,

serves as a reminder of many who served. And a chalice—roots for a base,

curving up into hands that cradle the cup—is used to remind others of the

miracle that allowed the church to survive.

St. Paul’s is a powerful symbol, not only of

God’s grace, but of small spots of hope

appearing even in the most chaotic, troubled

times. The church still stands as a testament to

that. Yet it is also easy to forget that these

events had a very strong personal effect on

many. A women stands at a memorial,

caressing the name of a lost loved one; a man

who escaped the terrors of that day by chance

wonders why he was spared. In a time when

attacks such as 9/11 have been reflected in

other places across the globe, such as the

terrorist bombings in Paris, we must remember

that not everything is hopeless—there are

people who have lost loved ones, whose lives have been turned upside

down, but there is always the ability to recover, and the amazing tenacity

of Christians to try and show God’s love, despite the circumstances. St.

Paul’s shows that miracles can happen, and it shows that no matter how

dark things seem, a light will always shine.

“A Poem for St. Paul’s Chapel”

“It stands, and around it now, a shrine of letters,

poems, acrostics, litter of the heart.

It is the standing people want:

To grieve, serve, and tend

celebrate the lasting stone of St. Paul’s Chapel.

And deep into its thick breath, the largest banner

fittingly from Oklahoma climbs heavenward

with hands as stars, hands as stripes, hands as a flag;

and a rescuer reaches for a stuffed toy

to collect a touch;

and George Washington’s pew doesn’t go unused.

Charity fills a hole or two.

It stood in place of other sorts.

It stood when nothing else could.

The great had fallen, as the brute hardware came down.

It stood.” – by J. Chester Johnson

THOUGHTS FROM JUDITH

I like the fact that “listen” is an anagram of “silent”. Silence is not something that is there before the music begins and after it stops. It is the essence of the music itself, the vital ingredient that makes it possible for the music to exist at all.

Alfred Berndel submitted by Judith Youngman

PRAYERS OF PETER MARSHAL

Lord Jesus, bless all who serve us, who have dedicated their

lives to the ministry of other—all teachers of our schools who

labor so patiently with our little appreciation; all who wait

upon the public, the clerks in the stores who have to accept

criticism, complaints, bad manners, selfishness at the hands of

a thoughtless public. Bless the mail carriers, the drivers of

streetcars and buses who must listen to people who lose their

tempers.

Bless every humble soul who, in these days of stress and strain,

preaches sermons without words. Amen. Sub mitted by Jim Bryden

ch@t pray pattern

c cheer God on for who He is what fact about God makes you glad?

h humble yourself if Jesus took a tour of your heart, what would

@ appreciate what he has done what happened in your life today that you can thank God for?

t tell God your needs where do you need God to work in your life?
