New Philly News - June/July 2017 Monthly Newsletter from New Philadelphia Moravian Church
Across the Pastor’s Desk I am excited by the possibilities associated with the Farmer’s Market. I like fresh fruits and vegetables. For me, no trip to the beach is complete without a stop to shop for the produce o be consumed on the trip. I love roadside stands, and any Farmer’s market in any town is an immediate attraction. What are your favorites? Where vegetables are concerned, I like onions and tomatoes best, but not necessarily in that order. I know that tomatoes are officially a fruit, but I seldom see anyone eating one like an apple. I like tomatoes best in salads, and on sandwiches. My Uncle Bill thought the perfect lunch was sliced tomatoes and Duke’s mayonnaise on whitebread. I love onions raw, or sautéed, and I have been known to go through a large sack of Vadalia onions in pretty short order. I hope that people will bring watermelons, apples, peaches and apples and the like to our Farmer’s Market along with their vegetables. As I write this I am reminded of a white peach, grown only in eastern North Carolina that I discovered at a Farmer’s Market on the square at Carolina Beach. It was delicious! I am told that the possibilities for our Farmer’s Market are endless, not just for variety of produce, but for the opportunities for meeting and making new friends. Perhaps we will greet one another one evening as we try to eat a peach without making too much mess. It maybe that someone we least expect will discover New Philadelphia as a result of this new undertaking. I pray that God will bless it. The Pastor

“Farm fresh” comes to New Philadelphia The “farm to table” movement comes a little closer to New Philadelphia this summer when our own farmer’s market is held each Thursday afternoon during July. The Connections Ministry is sponsoring this project that will provide farm fresh produce to our community right here from the church lawn. Between 10 and 20 vendors are expected to participate each week. In addition to fresh fruit and vegetables, other products will be offered on a rotating basis. These may include baked goods, pottery, jewelry and crafts. Prepared food also will be available each week from a food truck. The New Philly Farmers Market will operate from 5p.m. until 7:30 p.m., capturing a cohort of folks traveling Country Club Road en route home from work. It provides us with yet another way to invite folks to our church campus. Vendors will be asked to bring their own tents and/or tables, and there is a modest application fee. NPMC members who would like to donate produce or other items to benefit our local outreach projects may, at no charge, join the New Philly Growers. There is no fee for being a part of this group. Join us in July, rain or shine, for good food, fellowship and the fixings’ for great meals at the New Philly Farmers Market. Booth fees will be $10 per week, paid through

PayPal. There is no application fee. Vendors will provide their own tent (if you choose to use one) and at least 20lb weights for each leg. Vendors will be set up outside. Categories include but not limited to: produce, baked goods, natural products, sewn crafts, pottery & jewelry. Vendor Application available online at newphilly.org

New Philadelphia Moravian Church June/July 2017 New Philadelphia hosted the Intersynodal Conference for the Southern Province held in February. An intersynodal conference is typically a gathering of pastors and delegates from all congregations and fellowships within the province in the time between synods; this one was to examine possibilities for future ministry and mission in our church. Synods held every four years include delegates from each congregation who are charged with examining and overseeing the spiritual and temporal affairs of the Province and its congregations and electing bishops and representatives to interprovincial boards and agencies. Intersynodal conferences are interim gatherings to examine ideas and issues that may become part of the discussion or decisions of a Synod, but usually do not involve voting for resolutions that direct the ministry and mission of the church. Living the Essentials: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow, this year’s intersynodal gathering, was an examination of Moravian history, Moravian present and future directions for ministry and mission in the Moravian church. Practicing the essentials of faith in love and in hope that God creates, God redeems and God blesses us were at the center of our time at the conference with worship times, instruction time and idea-generating and discussion. We heard from the Rev. Dr. Craig Atwood about the history of Moravian congregations and implications of that history for us now and in the future; we heard from the Rev. David Guthrie, President of the Provincial Elders Conference, about the state of our Southern Province congregations and important trends
Page 4 in faith today, and we gathered and shared ideas and dreams using five-minute Imagine Talks and “open space technology” for the future Moravian church in preparation for the 2018 Synod.
The March issue of Moravian Magazine (at this link if you cannot locate yours: http://www.moravian.org/the-moravian-magazine/moravian-magazine-march-2017/moravianmagazine-march-2017/) includes more detailed information about the Intersynodal conference. To view some of the Imagine talks including one by Southern province ministerial candidate Angelica Regalado, “Men Making a Difference” that showed Armando Rusindo and Joe Jarvis and a team from New Philadelphia working in Cuba, see this link: https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=uKb6-5e-nGE&feature=youtu.be. To find video of the presentations by Craig Atwood, David Guthrie, all the five-minute presentations, the notes from the discussion groups, please see https://mcspevents.wordpress.com/post-event-resources/. From the Moravian Church Southern Province events site: “As we approach the next Synod season (coming Spring 2018), our fervent hope is that the good work done during the InterSynodal conference will inform forthcoming conversations and decisions. Please continue to pray for all our brothers and sisters that we may grow in faith, love, and hope as we follow Christ in proclaiming his Good News, and serving the world.” For more information about discussions shared, please see delegates Brittany Huddleston or Kay Windsor.
