KEE F ER’S KOR N EROkay, we are all inundated with political wrangling – and the vote is still a year away. It is exhausting. So, for a little lightheartedness let me share these ‘apolitical aphorisms’ that were sent to me recently –

• If God would have wanted us to vote, He would have given uscandidates. – Jay Leno• The problem with political jokes is – they get elected. – HenryCate• When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President;I’m beginning to believe it. – Clarence Darrow• Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor andcampaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from theother. – Oscar Ameringer

There were plenty more, but you get the gist. (Some were actually too frightening to include.) I bring this topic to point because whether you care or not, it is the opening sentence of almost every media presentation. Christians are united in their belief and faith in the Triune God, and both Republicans and Democrats can claim Christianity. We have differing opinions on how government should be run. Differing opinions have us rooting for Iowa, ISU, or UNI (or that other team). We may never have attended those schools, but we have an allegiance of some sort to them. I do not know nor have ever met any of the candidates, Republican or Democrat. Most of them profess Christianity; a few are more outspoken than others. We have a full year before we decide and vote. What do we do in the meantime to help us make our final decision? Well, as I have often mentioned in messages, the answers to all life’s dilemmas are in the Bible. It may take some digging to find those answers, but it is the place to start. First Timothy 2:2, offers some starting advice for us to employ – “Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well…” It sure doesn’t offer any specific names does it? It won’t. What else can we do? Keep praying. Psalm 107: 28, “Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distresses.” Still not helping? No clarity? Try James 1:5 – “If any of you lacks wisdom(don’t know what you’re doing, per The Message), let him ask of God, who gives to all generously.” One more before I close from 2nd Chronicles 7:14, “[if] My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray…I will restore their land to health.” It seems that prayer is the path to our solutions. Since I opened with some humorous quotes about politics, let me close with a quote on prayer from Corrie Ten Boom, who lived during a time of questionable government and its leadership – “Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees.” I have often closed with ‘see you in church.’ I think I want to modify that for us all – ‘See you in prayer and worship.’ The Lord bless you and keep you ‘til we meet again. Pastor Mark.

Trip to Iowa FallsOctober 3, 2015

The UMW sponsored a day trip to Iowa Falls on October 3, 2015. Eleven women left Chapel Church at 9:30 am and traveled to Iowa Falls. We visited a gift shop downtown until it was time to meet Virginia Stockdale, Janice Collins’ sister at The Gathering Place for lunch. This was a former nursery/garden shop converted into a restaurant and gift shop. We visited an antique store and a thrift shop. The thrift shop is run by the women of the area churches. Virginia said her church helps out there. At 2 pm we started our eighty minute cruise of the Iowa River aboard the Scenic City Express pontoon boat. We saw beautiful scenery of limestone bluffs, historic homes, and the Iowa Falls swinging bridge. The cruise was beautiful with sunny skies and a slight breeze. Before leaving Iowa Falls we treated ourselves at the local Dairy Queen. It was a very enjoyable day.

There is one that needs some major repair on its base. Vivian will contact a memorial company to see if they knew of someone to repair stones and what the cost would be. It was suggested we clean stones in the spring, with the help of family members of the deceased.

New Business: None

Committee reports: Hiring-Smiths trimmed evergreen trees and some bushes. They will trim up the peonies later when we have a hard freeze. They will spray for weeds. They have been paid for the mowing for this year.

The Chapel UMW met Thursday, October 1, 2015 at 7 pm in the church fellowship hall. Claire Handorf and Sue Koster led a program on Lessons from a Cupcake. They compared the aspects of a cupcake to ourselves: appearance, smell, sweetness, flavor, moistness, ease of eating, icing, and special additions.

President Susan Beichley opened the business meeting. Roll call was answered by eleven members recalling on aroma from their childhood. The minutes of our September meeting were read and approved. There was no correspondence. The treasurer’s report of $495.91 in checking and $1003.63 in savings was presented and placed on file. There were no bills presented.

CHAPEL'S CHRISTIAN COWBOY CHUCK WAGON CELEBRATIONOn Sunday, October 4, 2015, those who entered Fellowship Hall were transported back to the Old West.

Our youth helped to greet and aid people in games if help was needed. They also did a superb job of asking their friends to attend with them. It was great to see so many young faces there and all the enthusiasm they brought with them.

The room was filled with cowboys, cowgirls, sheriffs, deputies - and even a rodeo clown. We lassoed horses, picked up snakes, branded a cow blindfolded, searched for hidden gold nuggets and made Wanted Posters of each other. There was a western trivia game that adults played at their table to see if they were able to remember trivia about old TV westerns. They also did a "shout out" to guess the theme songs from old westerns as the music played.

Supper was served around 4:30 pm on our Chapel chuck wagon. It consisted of beef burgers; hot dogs (so they could "get-a-long-little-doggie"); baked beans; chips; applesauce; spiced peaches; cornbread/honey; apple, peach and cherry cobblers; decorated sugar cookies in the shape of boots, horse shoes and horse head. Beverages were cactus juice, lemonade, milk, water and coffee. There was very little left after the chow line of 70 plus went through.

After supper cowpokes went back to playing games or visiting. There were door prizes and one special prize for the person who rode a horse the farthest to get there. Darrel Burt won that one even though he pulled his horse on wheels rather that rode it…That prize should have counted for originality, too! Kids and adults participated in a "Dress the Sheriff" relay race overseen by Marla Hlas. Deanne Raymond made those awesome posters for our games. Our tables and the Fellowship Hall were cleverly decorated by Lois Groth, Karen Handorf and Connie Buchman with others helping.

After Ron Groth gave a cowboy story about training horses, we went outside and sat around a beautiful campfire, which was made by Leon Lamer. Stories were told and songs were sung with Sue Koster accompanying us with her ukulele. The youth skipped the campfire and had fun playing football. A fun evening was had by all. A big thank you to Carol Lamer for chairing the event!

Happy Trails!

Kathryn Burt: Wanted for too much Bible knowledge!

Some women are working on a pencil-paper game about Western trivia.
