PASTOR’S LETTER Blessings in Christ’s name,

I want to give praise and thanksgiving to

God for such a wonderful end to October

and an incredible beginning to November!

I was so pleased with our 50th Anniversary

Celebra$on. We had wonderful turnouts

at the celebra$on dinner on Saturday

night and worship on Sunday. I know I

might be in the minority but I get chills

when I hear the bagpipes in worship. I was

also excited to read an ar$cle in The Star

Banner that gave witness to the im-

portance of Fort King’s leading-edge faith

and rich history. I am thankful to all of the

people who made the celebra$on of our

fi.y years of ministry an outstanding

success! It is my prayer that as we joyfully

remember what we have done over the

years, we can also look forward with

an$cipa$on to see how God will transform

us so we can transform our community

and world.

Faithful stewardship is one of the ways

Fort King will transform our community

and world. November 1st was the culmina-

$on of our stewardship campaign. As

always, I am overwhelmed by the gen-

erosity of many within our congrega$on.

Your generosity over the years has been

the driving force in allowing Fort King the

ability to offer excellent educa$on, and

involvement in outreach and mission over the

years. Your financial faithfulness will allow this

church to con$nue to impact people’s faith for

the Gospel.

May God con$nue to bless this church and its

people as we move into Advent.

With the Peace of Christ,

ADMINISTRATION and FINANCE

September Actual versus Budget: Year to Date Actual versus Budget:

Es$mates of Giving: +$2,683.83 Es$mates of Giving: +$4,604.47

Member Gi.s: - $1,506.17 Member Gi.s: -$9,836.68

Loose Offerings: - $ 177.33 Loose Offerings: -$ 272.69

Opera$ng Income: +$1,000.33 Opera$ng Income: -$5,420.95

The Es$mates of Giving ($thes) are in excellent shape versus budget for the year. The Loose Offerings are close

enough and are not a real concern. Our major concern is the Member Gi.s; these are the members who do not

submit an Es$mate of Giving for the year. This income is currently $9,836.68 under budget for 2015. The 2015

budget for Members Gi.s was based on what was received in 2014. Unless Member Gi.s income improves

significantly by the end of the year, the 2016 budget will be very difficult to predict. Since we are s$ll expec$ng our

Opera$ng Expenses to be very close to what was budgeted, this ensuing deficit in Member Gi.s will possibly cause

us to miss our 2015 budgeted goal of finishing in the black.

Stewardship

If you were unable to turn in your Es$mate of Giving cards at the covered dish luncheon on Stewardship Sunday,

November 1st, you may mail them to the church office or turn them in to the office. We must start the budge$ng

process asap and your cards allow us to get the process going.

If you have misplaced your Es$mate of Giving card, please contact Pat in the office for a replacement.

Thank you, everyone, for all you do for Fort King Presbyterian Church!

ANGEL TREE 2015

It’s 0me to start thinking about FKPC’s Angel Tree! The Fort King Angel Tree will be located in

the Narthex and ready for our members to select their Angels on November 15th.

The gi.s will be distributed in two different direc$ons this year. The majority of the gi.s will go to The Centers to

assist children under Protec$ve Supervision in contract with the Department of Children and Family Services. To

help expand our mission this year, we will also provide gi.s to a small number of Angels who are the children of

prisoners under a program of Prison Fellowship. This group reaches out to the chil-

dren of prisoners and their families with the love of Christ.

Please leave the gi.s unwrapped so they can be visible. However, they do welcome gi. bags

and big plas$c Christmas bags if you wish to provide. Both en$$es will come and pick up the

gi.s.

All gi?s for Angels should be brought to the church no later than November 29th. More

specific informa$on will be located on back of each Angel tag, which is available when you

sign up for an Angel. Thanks for your love to these deserving children.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

SUE THOMAS

As a Presbyterian my en$re life, I have experienced my faith evolu$on as I have aged. This growth, however, was

not necessarily at a constant pace. As a child/teenager, I was expected to be at church and Sunday school, and I

had all of the cer$ficates and aIendance pins to substan$ate that I was. As with many adolescents, I par$cipated

but I was not fully engaged.

In my adult life I have not always been a church member but usually whenever I moved, I would gravitate toward a

Presbyterian Church. Within the last 35 years, my faith has grown and I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and I

am never without him. My trust in God is unwavering.

My involvement in church ac$vi$es is very precious to me and I enjoy doing “good works”, but I believe that what

saves us is God’s grace, not good works. I am beyond thankful that God gave us his Son, the ul$mate sacrifice. I

trust in the one triune God and believe in and serve only him.

It is my belief that God’s covenant includes both men and women, as well as the ordina$on of both and inclusion of

every race and people, to live together in community. As I approach each new day, I want to be close in harmony

with God and serve Christ, knowing that his love is forever.

SESSION

At its October 21, 2015 mee$ng, the Session approved/heard from:

the following elders-elect on November 1, 2015: Larry Bush, Sue Thomas, Anne MacKay, Kelly Bush and Ben

Parramore. They comprise the Class of 2018. Also confirmed the policy of asking outgoing elders to aIend

the November mee$ng for a smoother handover to the incoming class.

• Heard the report of the Pastor and Elder Wolf on the October 6th Presbytery mee$ng at Montgomery Confer-

ence Center (MCC). Elders Catey Gans and David MacKay were elected as alternate Youth Advisory Delegate

(YAD) and alternate Commissioner, respec$vely, to the 222nd PCUSA General Assembly in Portland next June

25th.

new church directory in March.

• Voted to have the Session members sponsor the Annual Christmas Dinner.

SESSION (continued)

STATEMENT OF FAITH

KELLY BUSH

I have no rags to riches story but what I do have is a faith journey that is

abundantly filled with the love of Jesus Christ. With that being said there is

one event that acted as a turning point in my faith journey.

In 2010 I decided to accept a scholarship to play college tennis in Springfield, MO. This was the first $me in my life I

was going to move away from my home, my friends, and my family. I was incredibly nervous and anxious to make

the move but, I knew I would not be going alone. God was always with me. I remember the drive up to college was

so exci$ng because I was geVng to see and experience things I have never experienced before. I thought wow, if I

am this blown away by just the drive up here, I can only imagine how amazing my new adventure is going to be. A.er I got to campus I received a student handbook. In the handbook were all of the school maps, directories, and

RULES. As I began to read the rules I found myself asking “Why do we all have to conform to what they (the col-

lege) thinks we should look like?” My concern wasn’t necessarily with the fact that shorts can’t be too short or that

students couldn’t wear spagheV strap tank tops. My concern was more with the fact that students were not al-

lowed to have piercings on their face, or students could not have taIoos because, “Students are a direct repre-

senta$ve of this University”. I could not understand why Chris$ans had to look a certain way to be considered

“Chris$ans”. God’s love is limitless and knows no boundaries, right? At that point I vowed to never let someone

feel unwelcomed because of the way they looked.

I would always pray “God please guide my heart and my ac$ons to always glorify you and your kingdom.” There is

the joke I always say “I pray to God for pa$ence everyday but then I pray for him to hurry up.” LiIle did I know I

was not prepared for what God had in store for me.

The same day I prayed for God to guide my heart and ac$ons is the same day I got injured and I found out I was

going to have to have knee surgery for the 3rd $me. I was devastated and my emo$ons were on overdrive. It was-

n’t un$l that moment I found out how strong my faith truly was. I spent the rest of the en$re school year going to

every prac$ce, going to rehab, aIending every tennis match, and suppor$ng my team in every way I could. My

coach would ask me “Kelly, why do you do so much? How are you keeping your head up?” I replied “Coach, this is

what I prayed for.”

Understand me when I say I did not pray to tear my ACL and to have surgery again but, I did pray for God to guide

my heart and my ac$ons to always glorify him and his kingdom. It seemed too easy to sit in my dorm room and

feel bad for myself, I am sure that is exactly what the enemy would have wanted. Instead I chose to turn what

some might see as an ending into a milestone in my faith journey.

I know my faith journey is just geVng started and I cannot wait to see where God takes me next. What I do know

now is I am involved in a church that knows NO boundaries and can stand the test of $me. A religion which does

not judge people by their demographics but loves all just as Christ does. A religion that does not determine status

on how much money one gives but focuses on each person’s unique gi.s and what those gi.s can offer the

church.

I believe Jesus is my Lord and Savior. He died for all sins and through him all are forgiven. I believe the words of he

bible are not to be taken literally but to guide us. If the words of the Bible are to guide me then in everything I do it

will all be to the glory of God. I believe in the acceptance of ALL. I believe God did not intend for the words of the

bible to ever become stagnant and for that reason I believe in a church ever changing.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

LARRY BUSH

Here is what I wish was my faith history: I was raised in the Presbyterian

Church all my life and have steadily grown in my faith from the $me of

Confirma$on. I’ve always had the evangelical gi. of sharing my faith and what God means to me in the most

appropriate and meaningful way, whether it was standing on the street corner shou$ng for all to hear or finding

the perfect moment to in$mately share with a hur$ng or searching fellow human.

I have been the pillar of faith my wife and kids looked to as an example of strength and for$tude. They found

comfort in my outward showing of Christ’s love, forgiveness and living a non-judgmental journey in life. I’ve nev-

er embarrassed anyone with the things I’ve said or thought out loud.

I heard the Lord when He told me of my calling and I wake up every day knowing I am doing His work. The vision

is clear and my faith is strong and I usually don't ques$on God or where He’s leading me.

Here is the reality: I was raised by wonderful and loving parents who didn't aIend church. As a kid, I went to

various churches with friends, not seeking anything other than hanging out with my friends. I joined the youth

group at First Presbyterian Church in Galesburg, IL, again because that’s where my friends went on Sunday night.

I was married in Fort King Presbyterian Church and the congrega$on raised our three daughters, just like it was

supposed to do. I’ve aIended weddings, bap$sms and funerals of my church family. My daughters know they

are loved in this church. They each have great memories, friends and history with our church family.

Some of our best friends came from the church, which is a testament to God’s love. And we have uncondi$onal

love for each other.

I’ve stumbled and fallen in my faith several $mes. I’ll probably fall again. I’ve been angry, yelled and cursed at

God. I’ve prayed everyday and then not at all. I have thanked Him for the many blessings He’s provided to me –

and ques$oned Him about a couple of them.

I believe God is the creator of all and everything is possible through Him. My faith is a work in progress and I’ll

con$nue the journey with grace and forgiveness. I’m s$ll seeking my calling and I’ll con$nue to grow in my walk

with the Lord.

SESSION (continued)

STATEMENT OF FAITH

BEN PARRAMORE

God is creator of all, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. Jesus is the son

of God who brings a message of redemp$on and salva$on to all by his word

and witness. The Holy Spirit is God within us and among us, teaching and leading us each day of our faith journey.

My faith journey is a con$nuing journey, reformed and always reforming. It began as a child, born into an Irish

Catholic family, who aIended a catholic school from kindergarten through eighth grade. I married a beau$ful Pres-

byterian girl, who like her parents and siblings, are charter members of Fort King Presbyterian Church. A.er a few

years, I began aIending with my wife and children and was graciously welcomed and accepted by its members. I

quickly made lifelong friends.

I love people and learn something from everyone I meet. I appreciate the Presbyterian form of government, from

boIom up, and their respect for people of all faiths. My faith journey con$nues to evolve every day in ways that

enhance my rela$onship with God.

Approximately sixty years ago, I began to ques$on the validity of church laws and beliefs. Through the ensuing

years, I learned the difference. I met people of many different religions and Chris$an denomina$ons. I listened and

learned much about their faith, beliefs and church laws.

My faith in God should not depend on a collec$on of beliefs. Church laws are to control people. As followers of Je-

sus, we are given the free will to decide for ourselves the meaning of faith in God.

The future of my faith journey is unknown to me. God knows my future and I have faith in God.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

ANNE MACKAY

I was brought up in the First Presbyterian church in Ocala, Florida. My dad

was a Bap$st and mother was a Methodist so they compromised by joining the Presbyterian Church. My then

future husband led the youth group which made my search for the Chris$an life ultra-important. From my

early 20’s I began a journey searching for easy answers to life’s important ques$ons and in my middle years

knew all the answers! Con$nuing on the journey I am back to searching for the more difficult answers/ques$ons.

I am finding peace and believability in the teachings and conclusions of the Historical Jesus movement. Leaders

like Crossan, Borg and our own Tom McNeil have brought clarity and scholarship into my life. I believe love is

the most important aspect and goal of our lives whatever path we take.

This quote from Pierre Telhaard de Chardin is one of my favorites and expresses a part of my Journey: “Above

all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impa$ent in everything to reach the end without delay.

We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impa$ent of being on the way to something unknown,

something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instabil-

ity— and that it may take a very long $me. And so I think it is with you; your ideas mature gradually—let them

grow, let them shape themselves, without undue haste. Don’t try to force them on, as though you could be to-

day what $me (that is to say, grace and circumstances ac$ng on your own good will) will make of you tomorrow.

Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be. Give Our Lord the benefit of believ-

ing that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.”

Thankful

I was in awe as I stood in the beau$ful Canterbury Cathedral in

Canterbury, England. The grandeur was absolutely stunning.

Immense columns, the “Rose Compass” and the stained glass

were breathtaking. One of the huge stained glass windows is

approximately 3 stories tall and it is known as “The Poor Man’s

Bible” window. Stories from the Bible are depicted in the panels

of the window in brilliant stained glass. At one $me, there were

12 of these windows, but $me and age have reduced the

number to only two.

I roamed thru the 267 foot-long cathedral admiring other

magnificent architecture, art and, naturally, the notables who

are buried there including the “Black Prince. I recalled the many

pilgrims that made the pilgrimage to Canterbury. For some the trip was long and arduous. But upon arrival, the joy

to see and worship was well worth their travels. I know I was thankful to be there.

In my mind at that $me, I heard celes$al voices singing a familiar hymn of invita$on. I imagined the thrill the trav-

elers had when they heard the words “Come, ye thankful people, come.” Nothing is as pleasing as being wel-

comed to someone’s house, especially God’s house.

In 1827, 16 year old Henry Alford wrote in his Bible “I do this day, as in the presence of God and my own soul, re-

new my covenant with God, and solemnly determine henceforth to become His, and to do His work as far as in me

lies.” For the rest of his life, Alford showed he meant what he wrote. While at Cambridge, one of the deans said

of Alford, “I really think he was morally the bravest man I ever knew. His perfect purity of mind and singleness of

purpose seemed to give him a confidence and unobtrusive self-respect that never failed him.” Years later, Alford

accepted a posi$on at Canterbury Cathedral. His Sunday a.ernoon services in which he taught through books of

the Bible drew large crowds. He had a gi. of explaining things in a way the simple people could understand.

Henry Alford penned the wonderful hymn we sing at Thanksgiving, “Come, ye thankful people, come.” I believe it

is a hymn that should be sung at any$me. Why?

The first verse is an invita$on to give thanks to God, in His earthly temple which is God’s Church, and for His care

and provision for our needs. The second and third verses, based on Christ’s parable of the wheat and tares as

found in the Book of MaIhew, is a beau$ful picture of God’s taking care of His people and the promise of being in

His presence forever. The final verse is my favorite and I want to “raise the roof” when singing. It has such a strong

message of what a glorious $me that is to come for His people as He gathers us in to His house:

Even so Lord, quickly come, To Thy final Harvest-home;

Gather Thou Thy people in, Free from sorrow, free from sin,

There, forever purified, In Thy garner to abide.

Come with all Thine angels, come, Raise the glorious Harvest-home.

I am thankful every day for what God has done for me, aren’t you?

With a song in my heart,

Rick
