Vol. 26 No. 4 April 2016

Dear Edwards Church Community,

Hope springs eternal. I know, because as a baseball fan I have mostly pinned my hopes on either the

Baltimore Orioles or Boston Red Sox. They are both American League (East) teams, which means they must

face the dreaded NY Yankees. For 8 of my first 10 years as a child, the Yankees won the pennant – not

encouraging. But over the next 10 years, Baltimore won 4 times, Boston 2, and New York not at all, so

things were looking up. After that, however, over a 40 year span, New York has won the league (or division)

11 times, Boston 4 and Baltimore 2. This means that over 60 years, the Yankees beat my team 19 times, and

my team won 12. Maybe now you have a new appreciation for the T-shirt that reads, “I support two teams.

My team and whoever beats the Yankees!”

The start of baseball season also means that tulips and daffodils must be making their appearance

soon. After an up and down, mostly mild winter, Easter came early, maple sap got dizzy from starting and

stopping, and folks with many years of sugaring experience tell me this might be a tricky year for avoiding

the bitter stuff that can flow when you tap too late. Still, hope springs eternal – for baseball, flowers and

sweet maple syrup.

There are, of course, even greater reasons for hope. Reading the book Being Mortal: Medicine and

What Matters in the End, by Dr. Atul Gawande, I was reminded of events in my own life and the lives of

people I have known as a pastor. The book describes the development of nursing homes and assisted living,

the gradual take-over of the natural processes of aging and dying by the “medical industrial complex,” and

the unfortunate degree to which we have inadvertently surrendered deep meaning.

Acknowledging that human life – at least our natural life – is inherently limited, Dr. Gawande

concludes that “the role of caring professionals and institutions … ought to be aiding people in their struggle

with those limits.… But whatever we can offer, our interventions, and the risk and sacrifices they entail, are

justified only if they serve the larger aims of a person’s life. When we forget that, the suffering we inflict can

be barbaric. When we remember it the good we can do can be breathtaking.”

When smart, talented people – and he’s a surgeon, no less – recognize the limits of their ability to

make a positive difference by doing more of what they are good at, that gives me hope. And when they

exercise the wisdom of that self-awareness to do more lasting good by allowing other forces larger than

themselves to operate, they are often doing more good by appearing to do less.

Jesus could face a lot because he trusted the God who sent him and called him. He placed the

meaning of his life in the hands of a process he could not control, and to which he could only say yes or no.

He said yes, and all that he did – with God’s help – gives me hope. Now, let’s play ball!

Happy Spring, and blessings,

Michael

From the Minister of Faith Formation

Dear Members and Friends,

The signs of resurrection are all around us …crocuses (or croci) blooming, daffodils, tulips

and grape hyacinths pushing their way up through the soil where they have been gestating

over the winter months, buds beginning on trees…soon the colors of spring will once again

grace the outdoors. There are signs of resurrection and color inside our sanctuary – items

to assist refugees as they resettle in Western MA, many after having spent years in a

refugee camp; may they be a source of grace in their new homes.

What are the signs of resurrection you have noticed – within and around you? What new thing is bubbling up

for you? What new thing(s) may God be calling us to as a congregation? How might we be a congregation

representative of the resurrection? Just a few questions to continually ponder and discern with one another as

we live into our Vision Statement.

Blessings,

Deb

Forming Faith Across the Lifespan

Members of the church school will continue exploring stories of Jesus from the Gospel of Luke

through Easter, after which we will explore stories ‘on the road to peace’ from both the Hebrew and Christian

Scriptures.

The two Being Mortal Lenten groups were rich with thoughtful and tender discussion around

mortality, what matters most at the end of life and how we can claim authorship of our lives

before and during that time. If you are interested in participating in a discussion around this

book and couldn’t make the Lenten group, please let me know. Additionally, there is a listing

of community discussions happening in Hampshire and Franklin Counties pertaining to this

book and issues presented in it posted on the bulletin board in the Narthex.

BOOK DISCUSSION FOR WOMEN

Edwards Church women of all ages are invited to a book discussion of

Silencing the Women: The Witch Trials of Mary Bliss Parsons with author Kathy-Ann Becker on Wednesday April 27 from 7-8:30.

The Parsons were among the first families to move to Northampton in 1654. Mary, her

husband Joseph and their children lived just down the street from Edwards Church in the area

of the current Historic Northampton buildings. Joseph was an astute businessman and they

eventually became the wealthiest family in Northampton. Mary walked the same ground we

do; her Meetinghouse is part of Edwards’ history. She is one of us.

Read Mary’s story, learn about being a woman in the Puritan male dominated theocracy of the Northampton

wilderness. Come on the 27th and share with other women your thoughts of Mary and her faith. Listen to

Kathy-Ann, the 9th generation granddaughter of the Parsons, explain her journey in writing her ancestor’s

story.

You can purchase the book in paperback and ebook versions through Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com

and in paperback at local bookstores. Please let Deb Moore or Lynda Kamik (lkamik@comcast.net) know by

April 4th if you’ll be attending so we’ll know which room to reserve. And introduce a friend to Edwards by

bringing her to this book discussion!

This year’s Awakenings Conference will take

place at the UCC of Holyoke from April 28-May

John Shelby Spong, and Rabbi Rami Shapiro.

Information and registration materials

COMMUNION TABLE FLOWERS

The gift of flowers for the communion table in our sanctuary is a revered custom. The flowers may

be given to an ill or homebound member, or the donor may keep them and give to whomever they wish. The flowers may be of all kinds: wee plants from the grocery store, greens gathered on a

woodland walk, cut flowers from the grocery or from a local florist.

Persons who receive flowers from our communion table are always so surprised, grateful, and appreciative. Please consider giving flowers as a wonderful way to express your love for the church and

for each other.

The following Sundays are still available for your springtime floral

gifts: May 15th, May 22nd, and May 29th (Memorial Day weekend).

You may call the church office or me to sign in. Many thanks,

Janet Hemminger

APRIL BIRTHDAYS

A Word About Fellowship Time

We often say, and experience, that Edwards church is a community, even a family, that one of its

strengths is the friendship we celebrate each Sunday (and at other times, too) when we gather for

worship. Many of us enjoy extending that friendly community in the fellowship time after worship,

when the coffee is hot, the snacks are abundant (mostly), and the conversation relaxed.

Of course it doesn’t happen automatically. The deacons set things up, our sexton Dave Jenkins readies

the coffee, and … YOU do the rest. The snack department depends entirely on your contributions. We

try to spread this appeal out, so that only one quarter of the congregation gets it each Sunday; but when

your part of the alphabet comes around, we hope that some of you (a few will do nicely) will bring a little

something to share. Grateful as always,

Tom Derr, for the Diaconate

DRAFT — Edwards Church Council Minutes

March 9, 2016

Voting Members in attendance: Leon Drzewianowski (Moderator), Nancy Flickinger (Vice Moderator),

Kimela Webb (Clerk), Scott Anderson (Trustees), Tom Derr (Diaconate), Alan Schneider (Music), Harriet

Smith (Pastor-Congregation Relations),

Staff in attendance: Michael McSherry, Deb Moore, Marc Waller , and Amelia Riggs

Absent: David Kidwell, Carolyn Dion (Chr istian Outreach), Car l Er ickson (Stewardship), Dar leen

Buttrick (Faith Formation)

Meeting opened at 7:01; Leon gave an opening prayer.

The minutes of the February 17 Church Council meeting were unanimously approved.

Joys and Concerns:

Gratitude for a wonderful Lenten Book Read discussion around Being Mortal.

The sound system project is moving ahead. Two additional contractors will be making bids, for a total of

four estimates.

The soup luncheon went well thanks to Kimela’s organization. Participation was strong, and good notes

about the Vision Statement were generated.

Gratitude to many who offered furniture donations to refugee effort. Donations cannot be collected as yet

because there is no central storage location. Idea floated that Outreach might be interested in funding a

storage unit in Northampton for this purpose.

New lighting will not be ready by Easter. Alternate plans are being made to illuminate choir loft for Palm

Sunday and Easter.

Old Business

Our mission as Church Council

Discussion around the importance of communication between committees and council. Committees should

pass along information when they need final approval or when no single committee is designated for a

particular issue.

Council also has an important role to play in promotion of the Vision Statement, as well as in leadership

and coordination between committees.

Who is a member?

Discussion of the difference between confirmation and membership. About ten years ago churches began

discussing the fact that confirmation is for young people who are not yet ready to serve on committees or

contribute financially; confirmation was therefore considered different from church membership. During

the last confirmation class at Edwards two years ago, confirmands asked whether they would become

church members when confirmed, and Deb and Michael answered in the negative. Confirmation was

considered affirmation of baptismal vows only.

“Youth members” are designated in the by-laws. No policy at this point as to when a young person

becomes an independent member of the church. Discussion as to whether “youth members” should stay on

church membership list through school, and then be asked whether they want to go through the process of

becoming active members.

In the confirmation program there is discussion about what it means to be a member. Confirmands could

be asked whether they want to join the church. The last set of confirmands could be given the option of

joining the next time around. Working consensus: When confirmands come through classes they will be

given the option of becoming members of the church as part of the confirmation process.

Kimela will review the church membership list to see if there are youth over 18 who should be asked

whether they want to be members or not.

8

Vision implementation:

On April 10, following the service, there will be a refresher training on converting vision to action.

Committees should complete worksheets and send at least two (preferably three ) members to the training.

Betsy is doing great work on designing a poster of the Vision Statement.

Cards for the pews will be made as well. Kimela has an example from another church.

Notes from the soup luncheon will be shared with committees to prime the pump for visioning.

New Business:

Thanks to website committee for their hard work. The website is looking good and is nearing completion.

Memo from Judy Cardell re: child care for her son; proposed amendment to Safe Church Policy.

Discussion about the purpose of the Safe Church Policy, which is to ensure safety for both the child

and the childcare provider. Consensus that the policy should be abided by, and that one-on-one care

downstairs runs counter to the policy.

Working solution: use Deb’s office with doors open to office and sanctuary and child gate in the hall.

Safe Churches Committee will purchase gate.

Michael gave a closing prayer. Meeting adjourned at 8:12 p.m.

Next meeting: Wednesday, April 13, 2016

Respectfully submitted,

Amelia Riggs, Adminstrative Assistant

A Word to the Church

Holy Week 2016

From the House of Bishops of The Episcopal Church

and co-signed by the Council of Conference Ministers of the United Church of Christ

We reject the idolatrous notion that we can ensure the safety of some by sacrificing the hopes of others.

On Good Friday the ruling political forces of the day tortured and executed an innocent man. They sacrificed

the weak and the blameless to protect their own status and power. On the third day Jesus was raised from the

dead, revealing not only their injustice but also unmasking the lie that might makes right.

In a country still living under the shadow of the lynching tree, we are troubled by the violent forces being

released by this season's political rhetoric. Americans are turning against their neighbors, particularly those on

the margins of society. They seek to secure their own safety and security at the expense of others. There is

legitimate reason to fear where this rhetoric and the actions arising from it might take us.

In this moment, we resemble God's children wandering in the wilderness. We, like they, are struggling to find

our way. They turned from following God and worshiped a golden calf constructed from their own wealth. The

current rhetoric is leading us to construct a modern false idol out of power and privilege. We reject the

idolatrous notion that we can ensure the safety of some by sacrificing the hopes of others. No matter where we

fall on the political spectrum, we must respect the dignity of every human being and we must seek the common

good above all else.

We call for prayer for our country that a spirit of reconciliation will prevail and we will not betray our true

selves.

The following joint letter from the authorized ministerial leaders of the Episcopal Church and the United Church of Christ came with a specific request to share it with the whole church, which I am happy to

do. May we all call upon the better angels of our nature. - Michael

Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island UCC Conferences: Three Boards Vote for a Season of

Discernment on Closer Collaboration

[The following is all taken from the Massachusetts Conference of the UCC web site (http://www.macucc.org/

rimact). Church members who do not have internet access but wish to take the survey mentioned below can

call the church office for help.]

Led by the Holy Spirit, in September 2015 each of the Boards of the Rhode Island, Massachusetts and

Connecticut conferences voted unanimously to adopt a resolution committing to join the other two UCC

conferences in Southern New England in using the 2015-2016 program year as a season of discernment as we

listen to how God may be calling our three conferences over 2016-2017 calendar years to either federate or

merge. The fundamental question is: Is this collaborative ministry among the three Conferences of Southern

New England something God wants us to do? How might it be a sign of faithfulness to God’s call?

Two Approaches to Discernment

Gatherings - Look for opportunities that may be announced over the coming months. They will be listed on the

Mass Conference web site under “Events” at the link above.

Survey – Conference leaders hope that everyone – whether or not you participate in one or more of these

conversations - will take a few minutes to respond to a survey at: https://www.research.net/r/RIMACT.

Season of Discernment FAQs - Because this is a discernment process it is a work in progress. The

following FAQs may evolve over time as we listen and learn more from what we hear. The FAQs bellows are

Draft 3.0, January 2016, downloaded on March 20, 2016. To be sure you are reviewing the most recent

version of the FAQs online, go here: http://www.macucc.org/files/files/documentsecumenicalinterfaith/ri-ma-

ct+frequently+asked+questions.pdf

1. Why are we considering this? We live in a time of great change in the wor ld and in our churches. As

a united and uniting church, we are convinced that we need each other to navigate the changes we are all

experiencing. While staying true to the deep roots of our faith, we are inviting God's Spirit to guide and inspire

us in creating a new thing -- new patterns and structures that will enable us to make the extravagant love of God

known in dynamic and innovative ways, both in Southern New England and beyond. We wonder with you if

our witness and impact might be strengthened by bringing our three conferences together for shared ministry.

2. Is “this” already a “done deal?” No. As the resolution points out, our three conferences have benefitted

from considerable cooperation over the past many years, and we are continuing to find new ways to

cooperate. By passing a common resolution, our three Boards are asking for the stakeholders of our three

conferences to engage in discerning the benefits of additional shared ministry.

3. What does “this” mean for my local church? Your access to all the resources, program oppor tunities

and advice will increase. This will be true no matter what scenario unfolds going forward, and has already

begun thanks to several new initiatives. (E.g. joint Super Saturday gatherings, shared strategic partnership for

Racial Justice training, and caucuses during General Synod) You will still have clear points of contact at the

conference setting in this new structure.

4. What does “this” mean for my local pastor? Your pastor will have access to more resources and

program opportunities for your local church and for her or his professional development. If s/he participates in

a Community of Practice, or serves on an Association committee, no change is anticipated.

5. What does “this” mean for my regional Associate Conference Minister? The staffing structure and

roles of each the three conferences have shifted over the past 10 years. Before this resolution was proposed, we

were already in conversation about sharing staff. Regardless of whether the conversation about merger or

federation moves forward, the possibility of sharing staff will certainly be explored.

6. Will we still have a Conference Minister? Yes. Even if our discernment leads to full merger, there would

be a Conference(s) Minister that would serve as a leader for all three conferences. Currently we have three

10

Conference Ministers, each spending 1/3 of their time serving in the national setting. We believe that a new

staffing structure would lead to an increase of resources for our local church settings.

7. Isn’t the “real” reason this is being discussed diminished resources? The real reason is that the Boards

of Directors of RI/MA/CT feel God is calling us to something new, and we believe that the ministries of all

three conferences will be strengthened by greater interdependence. There is no emergency that is forcing us

into this decision, although we do recognize that mainline denominational stewardship and resources have been

in decline. This is a Kairos moment that presents an opportunity to continue to have a strong progressive

Christian voice in New England.

8. What are the implications of the possible creation of a new Southern New England Conference for the

wider UCC? The southern New England conferences have long taken a leadership role within the United

Church of Christ. This may be a useful model for other regions. Our Conference Ministers and our new

General Minister and President have been in dialogue about the implications and possibilities that a potential

merger would create.

9. How could this possible merger or federation amplify grass roots organizing and mission and justice

work and witness? Our hope is that as the conferences model the breaking down of barr iers we will

model working together for our local churches. The model of the Pastoral Excellence Programs could extend to

connect churches focusing on mission, justice, and witness. The work that each conference has done in terms

of mission, justice, and witness is already influencing the conferences beyond their borders. Connecticut

Conference has led racial justice trainings for both Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Massachusetts

Conference’s leadership on climate change extends to all of New England. This will lead to greater resource

sharing in our areas of expertise.

10. How could this possible merger or federation amplify ecumenical cooperation? This act of

interdependence will prepare us to work with other like-minded Christian denominations and people of

faith. We believe that ecumenical work will be increasingly important in the future and that our congregational

structure in general and this proposal in particular will enhance our ability to form partnerships over former

divides.

11. Does General Synod have to approve whatever we do? Yes. General Synod recognizes conference

borders. This proposal, if approved by all three conferences, will be submitted to General Synod to be ratified.

12. Will “this” reduce our delegate count at Synod? No. The delegation to General Synod is based on local

church membership through the following formula: In compliance with the Bylaws of the United Church of

Christ, the total number of Conference Delegates in any biennium shall not be fewer than 675, and there shall

not be fewer than three delegates allocated to any Conference, regardless of membership. The distribution of

Conference Delegates to the Thirty-first General Synod is based on Conference membership, as listed in the

2015 United Church of Christ Yearbook.

13. What will our governance structure be? This per iod of discernment will shape the future of the

conference(s). Your feedback will help inform our future governance and staffing structure.

14. How do we retain the legacy of each of our conferences should we move into something new? God

speaks through the prophet Isaiah, “I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I

will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” The centrality of the word and witness of Jesus

Christ will not be changed in this move, but now is a critical moment in the life of Christianity – we believe that

God is calling us to do a new thing. Like the pilgrims who crossed the ocean sure that more light would break

forth from God’s Holy Word, or four distinct traditions joining together in 1957 believing that a commitment to

Christ’s call to unity was more important than theological differences. We are convinced that bridging our

geographic and theological differences will only enhance our witness to God’s redemptive work in the world.
