New Philadelphia News Across the Pastor’s Desk For the last several years, the Vice-Chair of our Elders, Br. Tim Ward, has been lobbing the Provincial Elder’s Conference (PEC), and the Board of Cooperative Ministries (BCM), of which he is a member, to develop a system for placing recent seminary graduates into a local congregation as a Pastoral Intern. This would allow graduates to get a taste of ministry while waiting for their first call. It is fitting that New Philadelphia will be the first congregation in a long while to host a Pastoral Intern for a one-year period beginning on October 25, 2013. Br. Aaron Thomas Linville will be with us to put into practical application what he has learned in seminary. We anticipate that Aaron will spend his first several months simply shadowing members of our staff as we go about our rounds. He will make visits, attend meetings of the boards, serve with various committees, teach some Sunday school classes, and assist our Youth Workers with the performance of their duties. A complete job description has been prepared and is available to those who are interested. Aaron’s presence among us will not necessarily slow down our call process, nor will it drastically slow down the call process for Aaron himself. Aaron grew-up in the Union Cross Congregation, where his parents Ron and Alice are still members. He has two older brothers, Ted and Brent. Aaron attended high school at Salem Baptist, and then attended Lees-McRae College from the fall of 2006 to Spring 2010. While at Lees-McRae Aaron participated in the Donner Leadership Program where he volunteered more than 1,600 hours of community service. He also took advantage of the proximity of the Linville Gorge where he spent many happy weekends back-packing and rock-climbing. While a student at Lees-McRae, which is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (PCUSA), Aaron kept up his Moravian connection by working four consecutive summers on the M-Staff at Laurel Ridge Moravian Camp. Aaron attended Moravian Theological Seminary from the fall of 2010 to the spring of 2013. He found that he loved the study of Moravian History and Theology, and is eager to share his insights where appropriate. It was while working at Laurel Ridge that Aaron met
his future wife, Amy Gardin, a member of the Advent Congregation. For the last twelve months Amy has worked for the Board of Cooperative Ministries, first serving as the Interim College Age Ministries Director, and then, after the arrival of the Rev. Douglas Rights, she moved over in to the role of communications coordinator. On Tuesday, October 22, even as I write this, she is beginning a job at Wake Forest where she will be writing grants for various individuals and departments in the University. Aaron and Amy were married on September 7th, 2013. I asked Aaron to tell me a little about himself. The book that he has read more than once is “The Lord of the Rings Trilogy” by J. R.R. Tolkien. The movie he has seen over and over again is the screen adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper’s “The Last of the Mohicans,” which was filmed in the mountains of North Carolina. Aaron says that he is excited to be working at the church that he has heard so many good things about, and is eager to see what our congregation has to teach him. He said, “I am eager for the surprises that God has in store for me at New Philadelphia.” Aaron’s favorite text of scripture is the prolog from the first chapter of John’s Gospel, which speaks of God’s Eternal Word that was made flesh in Jesus Christ. We on the Boards believe that God has led us into this adventure. Let us welcome Aaron and Amy, and the adventure itself.
Blessings, Pastor Green

Robert and Anne Thiessen, Michael and Caroline Woo. These people gave up everything to do the Lord’s work and we need to do our best to keep them in our prayers. The Sew-a-Dress project was a great success thanks to many ladies in the church. The dresses were varied and beautiful! Our young models did a great job on Mission Sunday showing them off for us. Thanks to your donations and the loving hands of many ladies, we were able to send 100 to Cuba and 100 to Peru with Bishop Sam Gray. We would like to make this a yearly project. Let us know what you think! Our next meeting will be November 10 at 5PM in the Banquet Room. Our guest speaker will be someone from the Winston Salem Street School. Please come and join us.

Spotlight on........... Ruby Bumgardner Our Spotlight features church members who currently are unable to actively worship at New Philadelphia.
Ruby Bumgardner was already entrenched in New Philadelphia life when Worth Green arrived in 1988. “Upon my arrival, I was told to beware of two people,” Pastor Green says. “One of them was Ruby!” What was to be feared from this Southern lady who, at one time, had been the church organist? “Ruby was a long-time church member who also worked in the office,” says Pastor Green. “She knew the congregation and culture of the church so well, I suppose some might have perceived her to be a threat,” he explains. “But I found her to be my greatest asset. She had an intuitive sense of when and where I needed to be and with whom I should spend time. She saved me countless pitfalls. I considered her a real partner in ministry.” Born April 3, 1923, Ruby was the second child of four from the union of Felix Pinkerton Foltz and Blanche Doty Foltz. Her family attended Friedberg Moravian initially, later transferring to New Philadelphia. Rev. Howard Foltz married Ruby and Charles

Bumgardner on June 21, 1944, just before Charles was deployed for active duty as a Marine in the Pacific during WWII. Two children were born into the family: Steve, in 1947, and Jerry, in 1949. Jerry remembers that the family attended worship services every Sunday, no questions asked, and both he and his brother were baptized into the congregation. He says that one of his fondest memories is of singing “Morning Star” during an Advent Lovefeast, with his mother as the organist. “Mom spent even more years in the church office than as organist,” he says. “The way that happened is that Pauline Granger, the church secretary, was out on sick leave. Mama volunteered to fill in while she was out. That ‘temporary’ service lasted 28 years! At the time, the position also included all of the bookkeeping duties for the church.” Ruby retired in the mid 1990’s, and earlier this year, moved into assisted living at the Clemmons Village II. While health issues keep her from active worship, her sons are often reminded that she continues to “love the church and the Lord.”

Bells of Joy
New Philadelphia Moravian Church - November
Hoping to inspire thoughtful thanks-giving, Bells of Joy will play “For the Beauty of the Earth” on November 24 at the 9 a.m. service. The hymn, written in 1864 by a British hymnist, quickly became associated with Thanksgiving when it came across the Atlantic to the United States. “For the Beauty of the Earth” is one of only a few songs devoted purely to giving thanks. May we be thankful for the evidence of the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives as we celebrate the gifts and blessings we have received and that we are able to share with others. Bells of Joy plays with five octaves of bells and handchimes. We play two octaves of bells below middle C and two octaves above the middle C octave. Unlike a single musician who plays a keyboard with two hands (and sometimes two feet on the pedals), the bell choir plays as one instrument with many members, each playing several notes. You may see some ringers playing four small bells at once, but you will not see those playing the lower bass bells playing four at once—those bells are much too heavy! Nancy Holland has been playing with New Philadelphia’s handbell choirs since 2004, and she first played at First Presbyterian Church in Kingsport, TN. Except for four years when she and Melvin lived overseas, she has played handbells since 1980. “I love the deep, mellow
Page 7
sound of the lower bells and the depth they bring, but they are heavy, and my wrists wouldn’t survive those bells. But I can hear the same quality of sound in the bells I play, and I like having a part of the melody sometimes,” Nancy said. She plays handbells and handchimes in middle C and the B just before it along with the sharps and flats related to those notes. “I hope that bells adds something positive to the worship experience of those who hear us. I am particularly fond of the chimes and wish we had a children’s or teen bell/chime choir so that they could learn the pleasure of making beautiful music with these fun instruments. They would learn the teamwork required of a bell player, and the satisfaction of making music to God’s glory,” Nancy said. Sally Sloan has played with Bells of Joy for four years and before that, she played with the bell choir at Bethania Moravian Church. Sally plays the G and A bells in the octave below middle C. “It’s not hard to play bells; you just need to be able to count the beat. But you must be dedicated to the bell group. We all depend upon each other as each of us is one part of a musical instrument,” Sally said.

Pastor John Writes: New Philadelphia’s youth had a great October! Our Middle Highs and Senior Highs attended a movie event at Trinity Moravian which raised funds for the new slab at Laurel Ridge. In addition, many of our youth helped with the incredible Fish Fry our church hosted on October 25, as this event also raised funds for the slab. Other recent activities include our Middle Highs participating in a lock-out on October 25, and our Senior Highs going to a corn maze on October 20. Coming up in November, we will host the annual Youth Square Dance on November 24. This event brings together Moravian youth from across the Southern Province for a night of square dancing and collecting canned goods and other donations to support Sunnyside Ministry. It’s a fun event for an important cause, and we always look forward to a huge turnout! Our youth leaders are also beginning Bible Studies for both of our groups during November, and we’re grateful for the time and energy so many are dedicating to our youth program. Best wishes to you in November! Peace, in Christ,
The Rev. John G. Rights
