Praise to God

Greetings to All!

I recently heard of an individual who kept a tambourine close at hand. Why? Just in

case “praise breaks out!” What a fantastic and precious memory of an individual who

lived out a life filled with praise. I invite you to reflect for a moment on the idea of

offering praise.

What is praise? Praise is said to be offered to God for who God is and is the imperative

of the faithful, formed in part of this purpose.

I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, so I shall be saved from my enemies.

(Psalm 18: 3)

The people whom I formed for myself so that they might declare my praise.

(Isaiah 43: 21)

How do we offer praise? Praise can be expressed in song, in verse, or in prayer; and in the words of

the Psalmists, is never ending. Additionally, praise can be expressed not only through the worship

experience, but through everyday actions and deeds. It can be offered anytime, anywhere, and in any

place!

I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

(Psalm 34: 1)

I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the congregation I will praise you.

(Psalm 22:22)

Who offers praise and why? Praise is offered by the faithful as an expression of grateful hearts, but

Scripture also records that all of creation-nature, the heavens, the angels-offers its praise.

Praise the Lord from the earth, you sea monsters and all deeps; fire and hail, snow and frost,

stormy wind fulfilling his command. (Psalm 148:7, 8)

The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.

(Psalm 19:1)

Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his host! (Psalm 148: 2)

So as you make plans to journey forth in the coming days, weeks, and months, be sure to keep your

tambourine close at hand because you just never know. If someone asks you why, just say, “In case

praise breaks out!”

He has done marvelous things; I too will praise him with a new song!

Each month

the Mission

Committee

encourages

this

community

of faith to

pray for one of our

agency mission

partners as a way to

support them and

learn about how they

help.

This month we pray for

My Friend’s House.

We pray for healing

and hope for the boys

at My Friend’s House.

My Friend’s House is a

group residential

home for adolescent

males who have

suffered abuse or

neglect.

Many of you already watch Franklin’s fireworks from our church

property, so let’s make it a family event. Bring your own

family’s picnic supper, lawn chairs and/or blankets, and a

celebratory mood. We’ll gather at 6:30 p.m., enjoy our picnics,

play some games, sing some songs, and settle down about

dark to enjoy the fireworks. Since many non-members like to

view the fireworks from our property, it’s a perfect opportunity

to welcome them with a cold drink and a warm smile!

VBS registration closes on June 1st. Spaces are filling up – remember there is a cap on preschool and

kindergarten classes this year. There will be no onsite registration and class sizes are limited, but

children of volunteers are guaranteed a spot.

Our VBS is only four days, June 15 - 18, from 9 am to noon and we welcome children ages 4 through 6th

grade. The registration fee is $10/child, but the fee is waived if you are able to volunteer for all four

days! (Scholarships are available, contact Kim at [email protected]) To register your child and sign

up to volunteer, go to www.cokesburyvbs.com/fpcfranklintn. To make your registration payment, go

to https://fpcfranklin.logosconnect.com/. If you have any questions, please contact Casey Pianta at

[email protected].

Our fourth and final day of VBS is

based on the action word

“SHARE!” Through Luke 24:1-22,

we will offer children a look at

the miraculous moment when

Christ’s women followers are

the first to experience Jesus’ rise from the grave and the first to share the good news with the rest of

Christ’s followers. We will experience this story as a model for how we can actively experience the good

news of Jesus by seeking and sharing God’s goodness with others through our words and actions. This

story shows the importance of spreading the good news.

VBS loves snacks! Are you able to donate some? Our VBS participants

are going to need lots of fuel during our action-packed days and we

would greatly appreciate donations of pretzels, Goldfish, vanilla

wafers, animal crackers, and Country Time lemonade mix. We would

also happily accept Wal-Mart gift cards! Please place donations in the

bin under the VBS bulletin board in Wilson Hall. If you have any

questions about VBS snacks, please contact Elizabeth Stivers at

[email protected].

Mission Trip - Janesville, Virginia


Thank you to all the participants for answering the call to serve.

Consider joining us on the next trip.


P a g e 9


As many of you know, there is Mission work taking place right now in Beirut with some of our FPC members. Please keep

these volunteers in your prayers as they continue to serve!

Mission Trip - Beirut

There is much to share about our time so far in Beirut. I'm blown away by the generosity and hospitality shown to us. No

one is hungry because we are force fed at every turn! This week, we made clinic in the Christian center run by our hosts,

Chouki (pronounced Chowy) and Maha (his wife). This center is Baptist, I think. They have a women's group of Syrian

refugees that come to the center to hear the word of God and to fellowship and sometimes receive oil or rice twice a week.

It has gotten so big and women are starting to bring their husbands, too. I think we saw close to 600? patients this week so

far.

As expected, we've seen first hand the heartbreak of war. Families separated, family members or friends killed by mortar

shells, normal lives uprooted and tossed to a foreign land. The Syrians are seen as second class citizens here, and they

aren't legally allowed to have certain types of help. One of our translators mentioned that she had asked God to let her do

anything to serve him EXCEPT help the Syrians. Comically, God did just that.

My translator, Sylvia, is from Aleppo as are several of my patients. She is 26 years old and has received a full scholarship to

medical school. However, because of many things including the war, she can't leave her mother, for whom she is the sole

provider and caretaker. So, she has to work full time to make ends meet (all of her bills are about $700/month) and had to

turn down the scholarship. This breaks my heart-she is such a bright and gentle soul. Despite her trials, she smiles all day

and touches the arms of those who cry and talks to them about Jesus and hope.

All three of us have cried a bunch already, which is expected on this sort of trip. We can certainly feel your prayers over

here, and I'm so thankful to be from a congregation that celebrates Godly love that transcends stereotypes and

preconceptions. The thing that has struck me the most this week is how SAME our lives are to the Syrian refugees. All of

them come in with their medication lists, lab tests, and X-rays from their family doctors in Syria. Today, I did an annual

physical for a man who had bypass surgery. It just hits home that our happy little comfortable lives can be destroyed in an

instant, and we too could be displaced people. So strange. I was expecting urgent care from uneducated people who had

never seen a provider. Instead, I've seen my typical patient population. It really reminds me that we are all in the same

world, we are all broken, and we all need Jesus.

Tomorrow we head to Byblos to see the Cedars and to serve the Druze in a hospital setting!!!! Real exam tables! Wahoo!

Till next time. Claire Crunk

Breaking Bread - A Poem in Honor of Our

Wednesday Night Live Cooks

Bread is broken

In an upper room, feet wet from washing

At table with a stranger met on the sad road from Jerusalem to

Emmaus

Among Jews and Gentiles in a Centurion’s home

By the glimmering lake with five thousand friends

In a hall called Wilson

Bread is broken

French bread rich with butter

And chicken spaghetti, which shouldn’t work, but does

Tortilla chips stacked high on Taco Night

Bread firmly, lovingly embracing hot ham and cheese

Cornbread that settles on the tongue like honey

Topping off the grand champion meatloaf and mac and cheese

Lines out the door for dressing and turkey

Bread is broken

Through the torn and fragrant edges

Through mouthfuls of meatloaf

Sweet tea poured like wine

Children laugh

Friendships deepen

Families slow down and sit

Free from the wheel of activity

To talk and eat and love

Every time, every place, every meal

He is there, as he promised

It is said

Blessed are the feet that bring good news

Let it also be said here

Blessed are the hands that make good food

Feeding bodies

Feeding souls

Sharing hospitality in the form of scalloped potatoes and spaghetti casserole

Holy work, done with joy

And we are grateful

WNL Summer Celebration 2015

We enjoyed a presentation from several young dancers.

They presented a liturgical dance to “Shout to the Lord”.

The girls danced to glorify God and learned the meaning of

the movements as they related to scriptures. Thank you

Tammy Horton and Angela Everett for working with them

for several weeks.

Our intergenerational event included a reading of “In

God’s Hand’s” by Rabbi Laurence Kushner and Gary

Schmidt. The church wide summer reading program Read

first book!

Alzheimer's is a

type of dementia

that causes

problems with

memory,

thinking and

behavior which

is not a part of

natural aging. It can

devastate a family. If

you are concerned

about you or someone

you love, come and

learn about the

disease from an

expert. The Alzheimer’s

Association is the true

source for reliable

information, education,

referral and support to

millions of people affected

by the disease.

This summer we will be

reading and discussing

One Day I Wrote Back:

Interacting with

Scripture through

Creative Writing, by

Jane Herring. Jane

wrestled with the

contradictions,

puzzling stories, and

difficult sayings in

scripture - until she

discovered the power

of interacting with

them through creative

writing. In this book,

Herring leads us to talk

back to those scripture

passages we don’t

understand, and ask

questions, explore our

lives, plead, praise and

ponder. She provides

reflection questions,

and simple, practical

exercises to encourage

writing. Herring is an

ordained PC (USA)

minister serving as a

hospice chaplain. We

will read the scriptures in

the book and explore

them together. Whether

you are a writer or not,

you can join in the

exploration! This year we

will again ask everyone

to bring a dish to share,

and the church will

provide drinks and

dessert. Click here to

A Summer of Psalms

June 28 - September 6

The Psalter is the hymnbook of ancient Israel, and has helped shape the life and faith of

generations of Jews and Christians from generation to generation. The psalms express the full

range of human emotion — joy, sorrow, anger and lament. The ancient Israelites believed we

were called to offer ourselves honestly before God in worship, and through this honesty we would

find freedom and healing.

Pastor Chris will be preaching from the Psalter this summer, inviting us to hear again these

beloved poems and find strength in them for our own walk of faith.

June 28 — Psalm 121 —The Hills

July 5 — Psalm 99 —The LORD is King

July 12 — Psalm 100 — Steadfast Love

July 19 — Psalm 22 — Why?

August 2 — Psalm 29 — Glory!

August 9 — Psalm 42 — Hope in God

August 16 — Psalm 49 — Can’t Take it With You

August 23 — Psalm 19 — Get Outside

August 30 — Psalm 46 — Our Refuge

shared their favorite memories of

the past year to give the "newbies"

insight to what Path 34 is all about.

We loved having Pastor Chris join

us for the discussion and for our

Hymn of Praise: Earth and All Stars

(Glory to God-The Presbyterian Hymnal #26)

Earth and all stars! Loud rushing planets! Sing to the Lord a new song!

Oh victory! Loud shouting army! Sing to the Lord a new song!

He has done marvelous things. I too will praise him with a new song.

This hymn text was written for the 90th anniversary of St. Olaf College in 1964. The author, Herbert

Brokering, comments, “I tried to gather into a hymn of praise the many facets of life which merge in

the life of community. So there are references to building, nature, learning, family, war, and

festivity.

“Many of the images through which I visualize the rhyme and rhythm of the gospel came to me in

Nebraska and Iowa. Seasons, emotions, death and resurrection, bread, wine, water, sun, spirit-have

made great impressions on my imagination. Words want to be seen. Words have their roots in

visuals and images. We see what we know. We imagine the language of faith. The image power we

have is an enormous gift from God. We are in God’s image.”

Garrett, who died

May 13.

The First Presbyterian

Church family extends

prayers and sympathy to

the following people and to

other members of their

family during their time of

loss.


Dear WNL Friends,

Thanks so much for the generous gift certificate to Kroger! It doesn't

seem possible that we have completed another WNL year. Thanks to

all our volunteers and members who help make the program a

success! Enjoy your summer! Thanks, Lucy Battle

What a great year! Thanks to each of you who made our WNL

experience one of the best. Many thanks for the generous gift card.

We are so honored to have been on the receiving end of one of Chris’

poems. It just goes to show we never know what’s in store on WNL

nights! Love, Nancy Moody

In life and death, we belong to God. Anne Eberle, a

loved member of our congregation, died Tuesday,

April 21. Anne and her husband, Bill, loved

worshiping and attending Wednesday Night Live

until they moved to Nashville. She was a kind

woman with a great sense of humor. Anne’s

Service of Witness to the Resurrection will be

Saturday, June 6th, at 11:00 am with visitation in

the parlor at 10:00 am. Please keep Bill and their

family in your prayers.
