New Philadelphia News Across the Pastor’s Desk Bible Bootcamp
Some people think that the best way to read scripture is to read it straight through, in one year’s time. To this end there are a number of popular “Through the Bible in a Year” reading programs, some of which one can receive by email. This method is great for familiarizing ourselves with the total content of scripture, but it is not the only method of study that is useful. Sometimes it is useful to “go deep,” reading a single book of scripture not once but many times. When I was in seminary, studying Romans, I once asked Dr. Chris Becker, one of the world’s leading authorities on Paul, if he though Paul was the author of Romans 16, writing, of course, through his amanuensis, Tertius. (Romans 16:22) There was a big debate in those days as to whether that last chapter of Romans was original to the first 15 chapters, and I thought it would be great to have Dr. Becker’s opinion. Dr. Becker responded at once. He said, “Mr. Green, that is a good question. I want the whole class to go home, read Romans through ten times before our class tomorrow, and you can answer that question to the satisfaction of all.” It was a revelation. I saw things on the 3rd reading I did not see on the 1st or 2nd , and by the 10th reading I had begun to discern Paul’s logic as never before. Last fall I taught a class on the Revelation of St. John the Divine. Convinced that it added little essential knowledge to our doctrine of the End Times beyond what we could read in Mark 13, I had put off a serious study of that book for many years. Jumping in with both feet, I read Revelation through more than 20 times in the course of a month, almost always during my daily exercise on the elliptical I have in my garage. I am so sorry that I delayed this study, for the Revelation contains some of the most sophisticated theology in the New Testament, and it is particularly instructive for understanding the “principalities and powers” in the context of their expression in this world. Just recently I decided to re-discover the gospels, starting with the gospel of Mark, the earliest of the synoptics. On the 1st of July I set a goal of reading it through 10 times by the 21st. Mission accomplished! Now I am trying to read it through an additional ten times before
the 31st. This morning, I finished the 14th reading, and was able to recognize without error the correct chapter of 5 random passages that a friend read to me. It is impossible to go “too deep.” I am starting to call this method of reading the scripture: Bible Bootcamp. It certainly enables one to grasp the content of scripture very quickly. It does take a concentrated effort on the part of the reader. There are many other methods of reading scripture. I would mention one that is more devotional in approach. This method is known as Lectio Divina, which blends blends bible reading, meditation, prayer, and contemplation. An excellent article in Wikipedia reads: The focus of Lectio Divina is not a theological analysis of biblical passages but viewing them with Christ as the key to their meaning. For example, given Jesus’ statement in John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you” an analytical approach would focus on the reason for the statement during the Last Supper, the biblical context, etc. But in Lectio Divina rather than “dissecting peace”, the practitioner “enters peace” and shares in the peace of Christ. In Christian teachings, this form of meditative prayer leads to an increased knowledge of Christ. I would not sacrifice a historical reading for Lectio Divina, nor would I sacrifice Lectio Divina to the historical method. There is room for both. The truth is there are many good ways to study the scripture----if we practice them. Of course, every method of study should ultimately lead to making our scriptural discoveries a part of our lives.

Pastor John Writes:
We’re finishing another busy summer for our youth! Many thanks to our group of Senior High youth and adult leaders who spent a week in July on Staten Island, NY, assisting families and neighborhoods affected by Hurricane Sandy. This group included Brianna Burris, Gracie Burris, Russell Burris, Sara Ebbers, Kaitlin Fink, Abby Johnson, Emily Llewellyn, Jenny Mulholland, Morgan Rothrock, Zack Rothrock, Cody Snow, Sydney Pinto, Ray Sutcliffe, Sydney Sutcliffe, Lacey Trull, Andrew Underdal, and David Vaden. Another group of our youth are helping with Eco Mission Camp at Laurel Ridge during the week of July 28-August 2. This camp, the first of its kind for Laurel Ridge, involves projects which benefit the environment in the Ashe & Alleghany County area. Coming up in August, our Middle Highs and Senior Highs are planning for a trip to the National Whitewater Center in Charlotte. The Opening Cookout for our youth will be Sunday, September 8, and we’re looking forward to another wonderful year! See you soon!

Spotlight on..Delphine Thompson Our Spotlight features church members who currently are unable to actively worship at New Philadelphia.
Delphine Thompson was born in Winston-Salem and into the New Philadelphia congregation in 1917. As her 96th birthday is fast approaching (August 6), it is a good time to reflect on the blessings of her life. One of the great blessings was her marriage to husband Ed. Their life together began on a blind date and progressed with an elopement to Hillsville, Virginia when she was 18. Delphine remembers: “My father had the police out looking for us, and when we came back to Winston-Salem, he was the first to see us. Fortunately, he and Ed hit it off, so it all worked out okay in the end.” Delphine explains, “Ed was Baptist, and I was Moravian, so we compromised – and went to Trinity Moravian Church, where Ed’s grandfather, Dr. Douglas Rights, was the pastor. When we moved to the Cherry Street extension, we joined the Marvin United Methodist Church because it was close enough for my daughters to walk to various activities.” Those daughters, Penny, Cecelia and Beverly, represent another great blessing. “They are what I’m proudest of,” Delphine admits. “Penelope (Penny), Cecelia and Beverly have always been the center of my life, and now, I’m the center of their lives as they all help care for me.” She is especially grateful to daughter Penny (also a NPMC member) who still lives in Winston-Salem and “handles so many aspects of my life.” Delphine returned to New Philadelphia shortly after Ed’s death in 1981 and following her move back to the northwest part of the city. “I came back because it’s always been home,” she says. “My parents and other family members are buried there. Plus, I’ve never listened to anybody who inspires me like our Worth.” Another series of blessings have come in the form of the strength she’s received from God to meet life’s challenges. “In 2006, I was diagnosed with NonHodgkins lymphoma. I fought it with chemotherapy, and my most recent report from the doctor was the best I’ve had since the diagnosis.” Another blow came in 2009, when Delphine broke her hip. It prompted a
major life change: She moved into assisted living at Homestead Hills where she continues to enjoy life today. When asked how she’s getting along, Delphine laughs as she answers: “My rheumatoid arthritis combined with a little bit of everything and old age……… actually, I’m very, very lucky. I’ve been very blessed to be in such good shape at my age.” Delphine’s list of blessings isn’t finished until she talks about the church and the great relationships she’s enjoyed. In recent years, she has especially valued her friendship with Ethel Butcher, with whom she “just clicked,” and who has seen her through some of her most trying days. “I’ll feel like a Moravian to the end,” she declares.” “It’s what I was born, and some things don’t change. Besides, I’m hooked on the coffee!”

t our July Meeting Dusty Harrison brought us up to date on his work at Clemson University. He works with Greek intervarsity groups setting up Bible studies in fraternitys and sororities. His work began seven years ago and he has seen growth in those converted to Christ. It is his goal to have a Bible study in every Greek organization on campus. It is our privilege to support him as a committee in his ministry. Ross McNeil talked with us about the Youth Camp at Laurel Ridge for middle high youth July 28. There will be 6 youth and 2 leaders attending the Eco Camp for a week; Missions donated $100 per participant. George Goff - Ahuas, Honduras. George flies medical teams to remote areas, visiting church leaders, mission teams. His work is very important to the people not only because of his flying but he also ministers to them as they fly. Because of the solar panels installedat the clinic, they now have 24 hour electricity. Many individuals and the mission committee support George in his efforts and he wishes to thank all of you. Please continue to pray for his safety. Right now there is difficulty in getting fuel for the plane. Please pray that this will improve so that he can continue this important ministry. Monies dispersed this month: • Charity and Kevin Manous $667 • Youth Mission Camp $800 • Michael and Caroline Woo $3000 • Dusty Harrison $1000 Our SEW-a-DRESS project continues. Our wares will go to Peru with Sam Gray in November as his visits our new churches there. Our goal is 200. If you can’t sew, we can use pillowcases, ribbon,notions to decorate the dresses with and your prayers for each little girl that will receive a dress! NOTE: There will be a Mission Fair again this year to be held on October 13. We ask that each group and Sunday School Class help us with financial information so we can get a picture of MISSIONS in our church. Soon lists will be left in the Sunday School rooms for you to fill out.

As an AmeriCorps Member, she performed over 1700 hours of community service which included working in a Developmental Daycare Program in Surry County assisting the Pre-K teacher. After her year of service ended, she took a job at a full-time daycare center in King. She was there one year and now joins us at New Philadelphia Preschool.

To increase awareness and understanding of Stephen Ministry, and to prepare the congregation for its relaunch, we continue our series of newsletter articles.
Stephen Ministry Job Description Stephen Ministers are congregation members who are recruited, selected, trained, and commissioned to provide one-to-one lay caring ministry to people in crisis or with other needs for care. The Stephen Minister’s care helps the care receiver resolve the difficulty and achieve growth. Stephen Ministers use special skills to care for their care receivers. Among the most important are the following: Listening. Most care receivers need someone simply to listen – really listen – as they talk through their difficulties. Dealing with feelings. Stephen Ministers reflect the care receiver’s feelings and ideas and ask open-ended questions to help the care receiver recognize, express, and accept his or her feelings. Sharing distinctively Christian caring resources. Stephen Ministers may share a prayer, a Bible verse or story, or other caring gestures that the care receiver would welcome. Remaining process-oriented. Stephen Ministers do not try to “fix” the care receiver or his or her problems; they focus on the process of caregiving and rely on God to achieve results. Relating assertively. Stephen Ministers respect both the needs of the care receiver and their own needs as well. Maintaining boundaries. Stephen Ministers set appropriate boundaries in the caring relationship, helping the care receiver remain as independent as possible while being there for the care receiver as needed. Recommending professional care when necessary. Stephen Ministers are not trained to care for those who are suicidal, severely depressed, abusive, or homicidal, or who are abusing drugs or alcohol. If
Stephen Ministers recognize that their care receiver’s needs exceed the care they are able to provide, they see that the care receiver is referred to professional care. Stephen Ministers are supported through: • 50 hours of training • Formal commissioning • Supervision and shared responsibility • Prayers • Leadership • Recognition and Appreciation If you are being called by God into Stephen Ministry, please request an application from the church office or by contacting Clyde Manning. Stephen Ministry training begins Thursday, September 5th.
