New Philadelphia News Across the Pastor’s Desk The Joint Board has authorized a special Congregational Council at 5 p.m. on Sunday, September 25 for the sole purpose of discusing a new Church Constitution. We invite all interested persons to study the new Church Consistition in advance. After September 1 copies will be made available in the church office, on Sunday morning in the Commons Area, and online at newphilly.org/pdf/npmc.new.constitution.pdf. The existing Church Constitution is already on-line at newphilly.org/pdf/npmc.constitution.pdf What motivites the Joint Board to propose a new Constitution? The motivation is threefold: 1. We wish to bring the Church Constitution in line with the current Moravian Book of Order. 2. We wish to bring the Church Constitution in line with current practices, which are either the result of changes in the Book of Order, or changes in the way we live out our ministry in the present day. 3. We wish to build additional Institutional Memory by putting on paper many things that we have hitherto done according to an oral tradition.
‘Lunchtime Lectures’
Though we have incorporated the vast majority of material in the old Constitution, there are so many changes, it seemed desirable to present a new document.
If the meeting on September 25 goes well, once all interested parties have had the opportunity to discuss the new Church constitution, and once we have made any agreed upon changes, we will have a straight up or down vote to approve the new Church Constitution at the Annual Congregational Council. The Annual Congregational Council will be held at 5 p.m. on Sunday, October 23, 2016. The vote to approve the new Constitution will be a straight, up or down, ‘yes’ or ‘no’ vote. Naturally, we will deal with our regular order of business at the October 23rd Annual Congregational Council, including election of new officers. Details are to be announced. Blessings, Pastor Green

and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that with her own kids and learned that the average kid spends 6.5 hours a day looking at screens. She wondered about the impact of all this time and about the friction occurring in homes and schools around negotiating screen time—friction she knew all too well.

To honor and lift up parents as the primary sexuality educators to their children, the program involves parents as an integral part of the program. The program is a developmentally appropriate, creatively interactive, faith based approach to sexuality that lays human sexuality in the context of faith. Direct and indirect teaching around God’s creation, scripture and sexuality as gifts from God are intertwined throughout the workshop. Conversations and teaching around the stewardship of gifts, responsible behavior, and God’s grace and love abound in this workshop.

Missions and Social Concerns Winston Salem Street School: Sylvia Shelton and Nick Wright of the Winston Salem Street School gave a very informative presentation on the effectiveness of the Street School in our community. The original Street School was founded in 1985 in Denver, Colorado. It has graduated over 200 students in the last twenty years. Many of these graduates have gone on to college, junior college, vocational schools, the military, and the job market. The Winston-Salem Street School, founded in 2004, is modeled after the Denver Street School. The administration and faculty of the Winston-Salem Street School are dedicated to helping students rise above obstacles. It is the belief that, with the help of Jesus Christ, students can excel in school and go on to become great successes in life. The Winston-Salem Street School is a member of the Street School Network and is registered and certified by the North Carolina Division of Non-Public Education. The school is governed by a Board of Directors composed of concerned men and women from the community who share the vision that quality Christian education is the key to breaking unhealthy cycles of poverty, crime, and despair. The WS Street School does not get government support and so relies on churches, fund raisers and grants. They focus on involvement of the whole community and seek out a core group of supporters which includes churches and other organizations. New Philadelphia supports the Street School through our missions committee and Open Door Lunch. This year, we are also providing funds for a table at the annual fundraising luncheon on September 7 at the Forsyth County Club. Ten seats are available at the NPMC table and we hope to fill them with church members who would like to know more about the good work of this organization. If you would like to be a part of our group and attend, please call the church office. Youth are admitted by an application process in which they must write about their commitment to work on making changes in their lives and reaching a successful goal of completing their education. Youth may be referred by guidance counselors, the courts or by

social services or others who see the need. There is a day program for students under 20 years old and they can enter at any time if space available. There is also a night program for adults who need to finish High School. Most students have been successful and some continue on to Forsyth Technical Community College, Goodwill vocational programs or directly to employment. Senior High Alaska Mission Trip: Ross McNeil and the Senior High shared the impact of the trip on the youth and the people they served. A group of seven senior high and four adults departed for Alaska on June 30, 2016 and returned from the trip on July 10, 2016. They arrived in Bethel, Alaska and stayed at the Moravian Seminary. Bethel was their staging area to travel via bush planes into the remote villages of Kongiganak and Kipnuk. Kongiganak and Kipnuk are located near the mouth of the Kuskokwim River in south west Alaska on the tundra. They are both very small with Kongiganak having around 400 people, and Kipnuk having around 600 people. The landscape in these villages is vastly different from what we imagine when we think of Alaska. There are no roads, trees, or even bushes. In any direction you look all you can see is grass and lakes. The villages are connected by a system of boardwalks. The only way in and out of the villages is by bush plane that lands on a nearby gravel runway. On the first day in the village the mission team went to two services at the Moravian church. The services were very small, limiting to about 20 people on average. However, they had a powerful experience to worship God in another language. The most powerful moment was when a widow spoke in Kipnuk about her son finally accepting his father’s death after ten years and finally speaking to his mother. She talked about how she had prayed over the ten years for her son to stop mourning and begin a new relationship with him. After telling her story she dedicated a song to him and sang it in front of the church acapella. Needless to say the Holy Spirit is alive and well and surely made his presence known. After church the youth went out into the village to announce the upcoming bible school that would take place over the coming days. Over the next three days
New Philadelphia Moravian Church September 2016 they served around 100 youth in Kongiganak and 150 in Kipnuk ranging in age from 3 to 20 years old. They sang songs, studied the bible, laughed, and acted out skits, held scavenger hunts, made crafts and most importantly spoke about the importance of Jesus and how they know God loves us. They were amazed to have dialogue with people that live in a village far away, and see how God’s love is the same no matter the distance or circumstance. Upon returning to Bethel the youth spent a day organizing the seminary library. This was very beneficial to the seminary. This was an amazing and life changing trip for the youth. Their memories and friendship will last a life time. Amani Children’s Foundation: Jane Stephens provided a very informative update on the Amani Children Foundation. Since 1994 New Life Home in Kenya has been a safe haven for abandoned infants. The majority of the babies rescued by New Life Home test positive for HIV. Since 2004, 1660 abandoned infants have been brought to the New Life Home from hospitals, rural roadsides, urban pits and child trafficking rings. They are given a name, a bath, fresh clothes, antibiotics, a warm bottle of milk and loving care. In homes across Kenya approximately 150 babies, toddlers and older children are cared for by countless volunteers and 250 staff members includes: therapists, nurses, caregivers, social workers, teachers, laundry workers, groundskeepers and administrators. Four of the homes are baby rescue centers, and three are homes for older children with special needs In recent years, nearly all the children have been adopted by Kenyan families. One third of parents are young couples, one third are older couples who have already raised children, and one third are single mothers. By adopting, these families challenge many ethnic and cultural taboos in Kenya. Kenya is the only country in Africa where local adoption has become a robust reality.

White Elephant Sale
The youth had an amazing and wonderful time in Alaska and can’t wait to tell everyone about it. A big THANK YOU to everyone in the church who supported us and made the trip possible. We could not have made this trip without your love and commitment to us!
On Saturday, November 5, 2016, Women’s Fellowship is going to try something new. We are going to have a fall and Christmas Decor White Elephant Sale. For this event, we need donations of new or gently used fall and Christmas decorations. As you are going through your decorations during this season, please keep this in mind and perhaps start a collection box for items you would like to donate to this sale. We will be accepting these items a week before the sale in November. It will be a great way to de-clutter while helping Women’s Fellowship support some great causes.
Sewing with Love Attention NPMC Sewing Group: We are cranking up to make pillowcase dresses. We need donations of any size pillowcases, buttons, and trims, Please drop them off at the church library (a box is provided). We plan to sew every 2nd and 4th Wednesday from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. We will also make Lovefeast linens to insure we have enough for all our Christmas Eve services. Everyone is welcome to join in this time of fellowship and mission. Contact Cathy Ebert if you have any questions.

We were able to serve approximately 250 Yupik children on the far western coast of Alaska in the villages of Kongiganak and Kipnuk. This was so important as during the summer most of the adults in the village go off fishing and berry picking. This leaves the children and elders in the village. As you can imagine the children are left to fend for themselves and create their own fun. It was so important to get all of the youth into the church and begin the conversation about how amazing Jesus is and why He is so important. We were able to share His love, joy, compassion, and it was shared with us. There were so many moments when we felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. We have made memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. We have no doubt that we were where God had called us and were able to serve Him. There is so much to talk about and so many memorable and funny stories that I encourage any congregation member to speak with anyone that went on the trip! We will be more than happy to tell you everything! With that being said its time for middle and senior high youth to gear up for Fall. We invite any and all friends and family to the youth cookout on September 18 at 5:30 p.m. in the church pavilion. We will have plenty of hot dogs and hamburgers to go around!

12 Days of Service: Forming New Connections In spite of temperatures that have us still thinking about beach time, it’s also true that Christmas is just around the corner. At least, that’s what the Connections Ministry members are telling themselves as details for this year’s 12 Days of Service are finalized. 12 Days of Service is right in line with the purpose of the Connections Ministry to discover and create ways for the congregation to connect more effectively with visitors, with each other and with the community. Through this project, we are able to coalesce our energy and our missional focus in a novel way. Last year’s 12 Days of Service presented ministry opportunities throughout our community, allowing us to touch hundreds of lives. Coming at the busiest time of the year, it stretched us in new ways and claimed our time when there was little to spare. At the same time, it brought us together and provided blessings that were beyond what we could have imagined. What is in store for us this year? While there are still details to fine-tune, we are happy to announce that the following organizations and projects are part of this year’s 12 Days of Service: •A food drive sponsored by our Boy Scout Troop, with the donations going to Sunnyside Ministry and the Food Bank •A meal at the SECU House •A project with Ronald McDonald House •A collection of stocking stuffers for Salvation Army (in conjunction with our Children’s Lovefeast) •A Lovefeast at Samaritan Ministries •A collection of over-the-counter medication for the Crisis Control Pharmacy •Lunch bags for City with Dwellings •A Love Feast and Lunch for the Winston Salem Street School •Gifts for needy families through our Pre-School’s Angel Tree •Prayer for inmates at the Forsyth County Jail and Prison •A Lovefeast for the fourth graders of South Fork Elementary School Sign-up sheets will be placed in the commons area in mid-November. Please start thinking about how you, your family and your small groups might be a part of 12 Days of Service 2016.

Scouting News Cub Scouts:
The New Philly Cub Scouts recently received the 2015 Journey to Excellence award at a Gold Level. Only 10% of Packs in the nation are awarded Gold. Journey to Excellence is earned at re-charter in March for efforts during the previous Scouting Year. This award is special because it recognizes a number of performance metrics mainly based on growth, participation in events (service projects and outing), retention, youth advancement and trained leadership. Exceptional record keeping is necessary for receipt of this award and so a team of parent leaders, guided by one of our members, also an Assistant Pack Leader, Drew Starling, collected and organized the necessary documentation to be considered for the award. Packs across the nation can receive this award at 3 levels: Gold (90th percentile and above), Silver (50th percentile and above), or Bronze (20th percentile and above).
