Recently Anita and I spent an afternoon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. We went primarily to see the special exhibit, “Jerusalem 100-1400: Every People Under Heaven,” although we saw other parts of the museum as well. I was impressed with the exhibition and the range of artifacts on display. Many of the artifacts were manuscript books. There

were copies of the Qur’an, the Old Testament, and the New Testament as well as the entire Bible. Other books included histories, prayer books, and other manuscripts related to the practice of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. A number of the manuscripts included wonderful miniature illuminations. The general theme of the exhibit was how people of the three Abrahamic faiths lived together in relative harmony. Although Jerusalem changed hands twice during this time, from Muslim control to Christian control for about a century during the Crusades, then back to Muslim control, the city during this period was mostly under Muslim control. Yet, Christians were allowed to live in the city, and pilgrims came and went freely. The Old City of Jerusalem is quite small, about one kilometer square in size. By comparison it would fit in the space between the Silas Deane Highway and the Connecticut River. That’s not very large. Packed into this tiny place are many churches, mosques, schools, and residences. The Old City is divided into four quarters: the Christian Quarter, the Jewish Quarter, the Muslim Quarter, and the Armenian Quarter. Nobody has illusions about the level of harmony that existed at this time. There were tensions, at times those tensions flared. Overall, people were able to live with each other and accept the differences. We live in a time where division seems to be the norm, rather than unity. Political divisions are at an all-time high. We seek unity yet unwittingly we contribute to the disharmony. Finding a way to live and work together is in everyone’s best interest. Paul uses the phrase “be of the same mind” in a number of his letters in the New Testament. On the surface, we might think that he means we should agree on everything. We all know that is impossible. Paul was a realist. He knew that people would never agree on everything. I believe what he meant was that we should have the same attitude—accepting one another despite differences, and loving one another. That’s not always an easy thing to do, but it’s part of our mission. The church can make a difference in our society by modeling what it is to be in harmony, respecting differences yet working together. Let’s see what we can do to help heal the divisions that scar our society so deeply. That’s what we’re called to do. In Christ,

Craig

S.P.I.R.I.T. Church School News

In 2012, researchers Howard Friedman and Leslie Martin released The Longevity

Project, a look at 1,500 Californians who were born in 1921 to see if any conclusions could be drawn about who tended to live long and who did not. Religiosity was considered, and in an article for the Huffington Post, Friedman writes: “While we cannot provide empirical confirmation about whether being pious is important to gaining eternal life, The Longevity Project did uncover good evidence that at least some aspects of congregational participation can be relevant to the length of one’s mortal life. It was the social involvement and service to others that went along with being religious that explained why these people, especially the religious women, lived longer.” Friedman notes that people who developed supportive social ties and found purpose and meaning outside of religion also thrived. But most who had these things found them in a faith context. In 2017, I will be taking the High School Youth Group on its first-ever week-long summer mission trip. I believe mission trips are essential for youth ministry, precisely because they provide in one fell swoop the things we humans apparently need for thriving: supportive community and meaning through serving others. Not to mention, they are FUN! You will be hearing more about the trip as plans solidify and as we seek to raise funds. Hope you can find here at RHCC a supportive community and purposeful living. If not, let me know, and we’ll find somewhere for you to be, and something for you to do! A huge THANK YOU goes to Tom Reed-Swale for bringing in his potter’s wheel on October 16, and demonstrating for the church school kids what the prophet Jeremiah saw that influenced his message to the people. Here is our upcoming schedule: November 6 to November 27: Pre-K to 5th graders will be studying “Zaccheus.” The children will have the opportunity to learn that:

� Jesus loved and called Zaccheaus to come to him � Zaccheus’s life was changed because he said “yes” to Jesus � Jesus also loves and calls children, and their lives can be changed by saying “yes” to Jesus.

Grades 6-8 will study the following:

� November 6 – “Being Anointed by God” (Samuel and David) � November 13 – “Praising God” (Solomon’s Temple) � November 20 – “Living Faithfully” (Hezekiah) � November 27 – “God’s Vision” (Micah)

If you are able and willing to teach Grades 6-8, let Georgette or Kathy Morgan know.

High School Youth Group

We were invited by the youth at First Church in West Hartford to join with them for the 2017

mission trip! The two groups got to know each other during the National Youth Event in Orlando,

and have remained social media friends since then. We have agreed to do home repair for those

affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Isaac, and this year’s floods in and around Baton Rouge. We

will do this work with the Epworth Project (www. Epworthproject.com) in Slidell, Louisiana.

We met on October 2 to talk about the mission trip, and on October 16, we tackled the Corn Maze

in South Windsor. On November 6, we will bake cookies for the Cookie Walk, and on November

20, we will have the Baked Potato fundraiser for our trip.

Middle School Youth Group

On October 7, we did the Corn Maze in South Windsor, and on October 22, we helped with the Church Fair. On November 13, we will participate in RHCC’s “Fairy Angels” program, and hand out small-denomination gift cards to folks in need. Also on November 13, 2:30pm to 6:30pm – we will be cooking and serving the community meal at Center Church in Hartford. On November 27, we will bake cookies for the Cookie Walk.

Many thanks to Tom Reed-Swale, who demonstrated for church

school students the ancient craft of pottery-making.

ICON OF THE MONTH – NOVEMBER

Visit anytime for prayer and contemplation in the Weil

Chapel. The Icon of the Month for November is All Saints.

The original of this icon was painted in Greece or Crete

around 1500. It depicts Christ enthroned, surrounded by

saints and angels. Below are the figures of Abraham (the

Bosom of Abraham, to the left) with the souls of the

righteous, and Jacob (to the right) with figures representing

his twelve sons who headed the tribes of Israel. At the center bottom is St.

Dismas, remembered as the crucified thief who asked Jesus to remember him in

his glory.

Memorial Sunday, November 6

The November we will be trying something new. On Sunday, November 6 we will have Memorial

Sunday. On this day, which is the Sunday after All Saints Day, we will remember all those who have gone before us. During the service we will have the opportunity to bring a candle up to the front and light it in memory of a loved one. Candles will also be provided. You might bring a favorite candle holder that reminds you of someone. Be sure to bring your candle to church that day, and we will remember together all the saints who have come before us.

It’s ba-a-ack:

Consecration Sunday Is Coming

Congregations that approach financial stewardship from a biblical perspective do not view the money Christians give to their church merely as a way to pay its bills. Rather, such congregations see financial contributions as a way to help people grow spiritually in their relationship with God by supporting their church’s mission and ministry with a percentage of their incomes.

On Sunday November 13th we will receive a special message from Pastor Craig, offer our pledge cards, and then celebrate together with a lunch after our time of worship. There will be announcements in church in the coming weeks to remind you and to take your reservations for lunch.

We look forward to your enthusiastic participation in the Consecration Sunday events. Sincerely,

The Stewardship Committee

Did you know that the Diaconate Board maintains a

Helping Hand Fund to assist Church members and

their families who are in emergency need, and, as appropriate, members of the

community? Whenever you or someone you know has a need for a Helping

Hand, please bring it to the attention of either the Senior Deacon, Deb Copes,

or the Minister, Craig Cowing. All disbursements from the Helping Hand

Fund are made confidentially, and, as needed, the fund is sustained by our

Church’s special offerings at Thanksgiving or Christmas.

MISSIONSMISSIONSMISSIONSMISSIONS

Autumnal greetings everyone. I am writing this during one of

our 80 degree days in October so I can only hope that it is

feeling like fall by the time you receive this. I hope that many

of you were able to attend the second hour with Rochelle

Ripley from Hawkwing on October 23. Hawkwing provides

essential services for the people of the Cheyenne River Lakota (Sioux) Indian Reservation.

Last year, Rochelle was named a CNN hero because of the important work she has done

and is doing. We are proud of our relationship with Rochelle and are hosting a clothing and

item drive to benefit Hawkwing. November is a wonderful time to host this drive since it is

Native American Heritage Month.

In addition, November 15th is the National Make a Difference - America Recycles Day.

So...we are having a FUNDrive in partnership with Savers, a thrift store that will BUY our

donated items. Items must be in in good, clean and sellable conditions The list of items

will be posted on posters and flyers around the church. Clothing, shoes, towels, bedding,

books, toys, kitchen items, sporting goods and more will be accepted. What do you have to

do? Bring your items to church any time on or before November 20th. We want this to be

a community wide fundraiser so please do share with everyone you know and the Board for

Missions will do our part to get the word out. You can call or email Kari at 860-803-4852

or kariblaise@hotmail.com with any questions or concerns. Thank you!

Christian Activities Council – November Report

Faith Based Organizing: On August 23, an all-day training on faith-based, broad based organizing for clergy was held. On September 15, a meeting of Senior Clergy gathered to get acquainted with each other, get a more clear picture on the organizing process, and to process the information of a sponsoring committee. Over 50 clergy signed up to attend this important meeting, representing 50 faith-based institutions from 12 towns.

Neighborhood Organizing: Muse, our neighborhood organizer, has left CAC, as of August 15. We are in the process of rewriting the job description, and decide whether the new person, should be hired before or after Cori’s maternity leave. Thanks to the ACLU and the CAC as a friend of the court, a $6,000,000 Ruling was granted against the city of Hartford. It’s pretty much a guarantee the city will appeal the verdict, thus slowing down the monetary award to affected residents. This great victory was begun because residents who were displaced after a fire across the street of our office, received very little assistance, which was a violation of the city of Hartford’s own rules and regulations.

Adventures in the City: Freedom Schools was an outstanding success held at Milner school, on Vine Street. 91 students were enrolled, but data is only reported on 75 students, who had a very good attendance record. 32 students, participated in the pre and post literacy test known as the Basic Reading Inventory. Some students maintained their reading level, 23 improved and increased one or two grade levels. Average attendance was 75%, a great improvement from 2015. Parent outreach was good, but must be improved. The principal and vice principal were extremely pleased. We will again use Milner School next year.

Technology: We were awarded a $25,000 grant from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving. A new website was launched at the end of July. A new database is called Sales Force. CAC hired experienced people to train our staff. This database will allow CAC to track many important aspects of the organization. The existing computers were upgraded to a current version.

CAC Board Work: The finance and investment committees merged and held a meeting with our auditors and accountants, to gain vast knowledge of our financial situation. The most obvious conclusion is, we must find other financial avenues to reduce our over reliance on the endowment fund.

Strategic Planning Committee: CAC received a $13,000 grant to cover consultant Diane Gordon’s costs. I along with Cory and four other members, are processing all the work done. We will closely monitor the results over the next two years. We will develop a formal strategic plan, which will lead us to our clear cut goals and outcomes. The Board will monitor the progress and work over a period of time that will give them much information to make strategic decisions, related to Christian Activities Council’s mission. Respectfully submitted, Rich Pawlich-Paglicci

SCRIP-SURE:

November-December Schedule November and December are the two busiest months for scrip sales. Some of that is because many of us buy gift cards to give as Christmas gifts. But an even bigger opportunity is to use scrip to fund some of your own Christmas shopping. If you’ll be shopping at Walmart, or Toys R Us, or Macy’s, or J.C. Penney, or L.L. Bean, or Amazon, or Home Depot, or Lowes, or Kohl’s, or any of the other hundreds of retailers available through our scrip program, then you can buy scrip for those retailers and use it to pay for your Christmas shopping. Over the past three years, we earned 60% more in the months of November and December than in the other months of the year. Of course, we’ll continue to stock the usual cards in inventory. But if prior years are an indication, you’ll be ordering a lot of cards that we don’t usually stock. Therefore, to support your extra shopping needs, we’ll be placing scrip orders on the following dates:

Place your order by Pick up your cards on

October 30 November 6

Order forms and listings of participating retailers are available at the scrip table in Chapin Hall

Sound Healing Meditation with Tibetan Singing

Bowls - Friday, November 18, 7pm

In sound healing meditation, we use the healing

vibrations of the singing bowls to uplift the spirit,

relax the body and quiet the mind.

These instruments have been found to positively

affect the body on many levels. The vibrations soothe

the nervous system and invite the release of tight muscles, stress, anxiety, PTSD and

depression.

Research has been done in the last decade or so about the effects of sound on the mind. It has

been found that soothing sounds can actually alter the brainwaves that are produced. The sound

of singing bowls definitely has that effect. Come and see what it can do for you, and bring a

friend! A free-will offering for the local food bank will be collected.

A New Music Mission Can you feel it? Can you feel God’s love at work in

your life? Have you noticed God’s love at work in the world? I struggle with this every day and I have a feeling I’m not alone. Those moments where we feel the joy of living and sharing our humanity with each other are often hard to find. This year, the Music Committee has a goal to give us all an opportunity to feel that joy by sharing God’s love with our community through a new Musical Mission. This mission is for all of us. We all possess the ability to feel and express the joy of music. It is part of our humanity and a gift from God. So I’m going to ask you all to set aside that voice in your head telling you this if for somebody else because I promise you, this is a joy for ALL of us. We are putting together a road show and we need members! We need church members and we need their friends! We want to put together a 45-60 minute program of music to perform at nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Rocky Hill and the Hartford area. Naturally, we need some musicians for this program but we also need people to help create energy! That means people willing to sing in groups (I know everybody sings in the car!), people willing to clap their hands, people willing to reach out and hold hands, people willing to dance, drum and shake a tambourine! It doesn’t matter if all you do is sit in a chair next to a quiet resident and tap your foot! We want you! So now you might be thinking you want to try this out. The next challenge of course is availability and we have a plan. Our goal is to perform music that is familiar to all of us and the residents, in addition to music that individuals might want to perform. That means we might have 5 solo performances with the rest of us in supporting roles like singing, clapping or dancing with residents and 5 group performances of a song like “Lean on Me” where all us can get up and sing. This gives us the flexibility of not needing the same people every time we go out into the community. So here is the pitch! If you would like to be involved in any way or you have any questions, please email me at hipgirl64@gmail.com. If you are a musician with a particular song in mind, please include that idea so I can start forming a set list! OK RHCC! Let’s do it! Let’s put our faith to work and share the joy! Can you feel it? -Val Triblets and the Music Committee
