Reflections
Rev. Barbara K. Gulick
Is It Really That Time of Year Again?
As surely as summer turns to fall, thoughts at Millersburg Christian Church (and many other
churches, as well) turn to stewardship and budget planning for the next year. While there is a temptation
for us in the church to dread “stewardship season,” it is God’s intent that we count it as a joy, an
opportunity for assessing our blessings, for deepening our commitment to the work of his kingdom.
Jesus reminds us that “where our treasures are, there will our hearts be also.” The things that matter
most to us are the things to which we make the greatest investment of ourselves.
For me the joy of this time of year is that is gives me the opportunity to reflect upon the
investment that the brothers and sisters of Millersburg Christian Church have made throughout the years
and continue to make to this day to the on-going work of God’s kingdom. Truly it is a blessing to be a
part of the body of Christ as manifest in this community of believers. You are an inspiration and I thank
God for you every day and for the opportunity to serve in your midst.
In preparation for Commitment Sunday on October 12th,
let us all prayerfully consider our
continuing investments of time, talent, and financial resources for the on-going work of God’s kingdom
at Millersburg Christian Church as we give God the glory.
John and I will be taking what has become an annual fall pilgrimage for us to Taos, NM, from
September 23-October 8th
. We will also be visiting family in Kansas City and Colorado on the way.
We are most appreciative of this opportunity for rest and renewal in the mountains and high desert of
Colorado and New Mexico in search of quaking aspens and that special sense of spiritual presence we
encounter there. In my absence, Rev. Jim Gearhart, Chaplain at St. Mary’s Hospital will preach on
September 28th
and Rev. Ken Watson, retired Disciples minister and on-line professor at Missouri
School of Religion will preach on October 5th
. Both are fine preachers and will provide a welcome
change of pace during our time for stewardship emphasis. Please show them your support.
While we are gone, you may contact me on my cell phone: 573-353-9210; leave a message on
my home phone: 573-556-8280; or e-mail: [email protected]. We look forward to being back in
Millersburg soon.
Love and blessings,
barb and john

Sewing Machine Project – Some sewing
machine cabinets have been donated to the
Church Rummage Sale by the Sewing Machine
Project in Columbia MO. (The sewing
machines have been rebuilt and shipped to
Honduras, Zambia, or wherever.) The cabinets
would make great TV or plant stands, desks,
etc. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of
the cabinets will be returned to the Sewing
Machine Project.
Esther (Phillippe) Flaigle, Brenda Rose and
Peggy Rose –
Brenda, Peggy and myself had the pleasure
of visiting Esther September 17. Peggy and Esther
have been friends for many, many years! Esther
asked about everyone at church and said to tell
everyone hi!

REGIONAL ASSEMBLY For more information, click on this link: http://www.mid-americadisciples.org/upcoming-events/2014/10/10/regional-assembly.
After struggling for years with expensive
candles that dripped all over everything, the Worship
committee recently switched over to “liquid”
candles. They burn like real candles without the
mess. Brenda took the wooden candleholders
home and refinished them. Don’t they look nice?
The Tuesday, Oct. 14th MCC Cabinet meeting has been changed to Monday, Oct. 13th. Please make note of this important
change. Thank you!

Those Who Serve in October
During June, July, August and September, members of MCC have gathered items for Women’s Prison Packs as our Festival of Sharing project. These hygiene packs will be given to the women in Vandalia and the Chillicothe facilities. After church on September 21
st, we
packed together all of the items. While packing these items members of the Missions committee discussed Thanksgiving food baskets and adopting a family as part of the SERVE Adopt-A-Family program. Our goal of prison packs was 35 with a pack value of $9.00 each. Therefore, MCC is contributing $315 worth of items towards Festival of Sharing. The Festival is October 18
th in Sedalia.
Woodhaven celebrated their 50th anniversary in
August. MCC sent $100 in honor of the occasion. We received a very nice thank you note from Jaime Freidrichs, CFRE, Director of Development for our donation and for our commitment to supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. Our gift played an important part of their celebration. Remembering September 11
th, Beth Haas included
in the September 14th Sunday bulletin, information about
three steps to be ready for an emergency. October 12
th is the Callaway County CROP Walk.
Not only food is provided through the money raised, but providing clean water facilities, see and tools to help a family grow their own food to eat and sell. 25% of the money raised stays in the county to support Senior Food Service. Contact Beth Haas for pledge envelopes. Thank you for your kind attention and consideration. If you do an Internet research on Church World Service, you will be amazed at the depth and breadth of their reach all over the world, and right here in Callaway County. It should be noted that all MCC members and community members who took the food handling class that their card will expire October 23, 2014. The health department has been contacted and MCC will host the refresher course to renew authorization October 6
th at 7:00
p.m.!
