Across the Pastor’s Desk: Thanksgiving It was George Washington who proclaimed the first national day of Thanksgiving. The proclamation was published from New York on October 2nd, of 1789. Washington expressly stated that Thursday the 26th day of November in that same year was to be a day of prayer and thanksgiving to Almighty God “the beneficent author of all good,” whose providential care, and protection, had enabled the fledging nation not only to survive the war of Independence, but to establish a constitutional government beneficial to all her people. The initial establishment of a national day of Thanksgiving did not last.
Jeremiah that those who gave thanks and made merry, “…will not be few.” Isaiah also looked across a land that had been devastated, and anticipated a time of thanksgiving, saying: For the LORD will comfort Zion; he will comfort all her waste places, and will make her wilderness like Eden, her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song. Isaiah 51:3

In the New Testament Jesus gave thanks at every meal. He also thanked God for those who were looking for the salvation of Israel. He also thanked God for In 1863, at the height of the Civil War, Abraham revealing God’s self to babes and the simple, while Lincoln reestablished a day of Thanksgiving, fixing it hiding God’s self from the wise and sophisticated to the last Thursday in November.

The Long Line ____________________ “Endings and Beginnings” (A December-January Kind of Article)
We are ready for some old things to pass away. We are ready for some new things to dawn. The writer of Ecclesiastes says, “For everything there is a season under heaven.” Claiming the validity of the writer’s words, we know that life is filled with seasons of birth and death. As we look back at 2014, we are reminded of how God’s grace has brought us through valley as well as victory. As we look forward to 2015, we are ready to discover how God’s grace will lead us into the uneventful as well as the unexpected.

Services on December 24 at 4:30 and 8 p.m. The handbell choir will play “He is Born,” and “One Small Child” for those services. “He is Born” is a French carol celebrating the birth of baby Jesus. Hear these words (perhaps both in French and in English) as we play: Il est ne, le divin Enfant, Jouez, hautbois, resonnez, musettes; Il est ne, le divin Enfant; Chantons tous son avenement! He is born, the divine Christ child, Play on the oboe and bagpipes merrily. He is born, the divine Christ child. Sing we all of the Saviour’s birth.
“One Small Child” sung by children’s choir and played by the handbell choir, is a contemporary Christmas December-January is a time to ponder things like these song by David Meece and includes images of the in our hearts. Christ child, starlight and candle light that we hope My prayer for New Philly during the holiday season is will enlarge your meditation on the Christ child as the light of the world and in our lives at these services. this... Hear the words from two of the verses: O Lord, give us grace to let those things that need to die... die gracefully. Give us grace to let new things grow in their One small child in a land of a thousand place. Give us grace to entrust our lives to You-Alpha and One small dream of a Savior tonight Omega, the Beginning and the End. We pray in Christ’s One small hand reaching out to the starlight name. Amen! One small city of life. . . Praying for endings and beginnings, Joel M. Long, Interim Associate
Christmas Bells of Joy & more Bells of Joy will play ”Because He Lives,” the hopeful Bill and Gloria Gaither hymn, on December 14 at the combined 10 a.m. service of music. Hear the words as we play with five octaves of hand bells and handchimes: Because He lives, I can face tomorrow Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know, I know, He holds the future And life is worth the living just because He lives. Also at the special music service on December 14, the handbell choir will play with other musicians “Joy to the World,” “Jesus is the Light of the World,” and “The Little Drummer Boy.” More Christmas bells will be heard for the Congregational Lovefeast on December 21 at 7 p.m. and the two Christmas Eve Lovefeast and Candle
One small light from the flame of a candle one small light from a city of might one small light from the stars in the endless night one small light from a face . Bells of Joy will play “How Can I Keep from Singing” on January 25 at the 11:10 service. Some of the handbells are played by rubbing wooden mallets around the lip of the bells to make them “sing” much like “singing bowls” as we play. Join us for second service worship to share this special piece of music. May the words of these hymns and songs, the meditations of our hearts, and the music we play to accompany them bring joy to your lives in this season of celebrating the birth of our Lord.

The Cub Scouts are participating in the Lewisville Christmas Parade on Sunday Dec. 14 and will have their Cub Scout Christmas Party on Dec. 15. 45 Scouts and Adult leaders from Troop 715 went to Spencer NC, to visit the Transportation museum, for a Boys Scout weekend. While there they earned their Railroad Merit badge. The Troop is going through a very difficult time. The Clark family lost their son Nathan Andrew on November 14th. We have received inquiries of how we are going to honor Nathan. The Troop will honor Nathan in the future. What? When? Where? and How will be determined. There will be opportunities to contribute as we move forward. As one Scout put it “ Whatever we do Mr. Vestal , it has to be as awesome as Nate”! Questions can be directed to Chris Vestal 336-345-5434 or troop715npmc@gmail.com

he even looks a little like June Cleaver, this woman who is almost always wearing pearls and covers her smart, tailored blouse with an apron tied around a very trim waist. And yet, Mary Frances Sides has forgotten more about cooking than June Cleaver – and the rest of us – will ever know. Maybe it started with the small box her daddy made and painted as a sort of stool to help her reach the kitchen counter so that she could help her mother cook. Mrs. Sides explains; “Mother was a good cook who ran the school lunchroom. Anytime she went visiting, she’d
Missions and Social Concerns Have you ever been overwhelmed by life’s troubles. The best cure for this is to reach out to others. Cook a meal, babysit for a family, help with shopping or cleaning, or just sit down and take time to talk to them. God calls each of us to pick up our cross and follow Him. We are to die to self so that Christ lives in us. Christ reached out to many people—the lame, the poor, the corrupt. When people look at us, they should see the face of Christ—the face of compassion and love. We invite you to come to our next meeting on January11 at 5:00 pm in the Banquet Room. All are welcome. The speakers are informative, and it is a way to become more involved with New Philadelphia. Please consider joining us.

The Preschools Dewey’s fundraiser is coming and will start Dec 1-14, 2014. All money raised will go to the Scholarship Fund for the Preschool. If there are any question people can contact me at Laura_s_long@ yahoo.com (336) 413-4001 take something homemade.” No wonder by the age of 10, Mrs. Sides had made her first cake. Those early lessons helped her develop enviable prowess with a rolling pin. Mrs. Sides has been rolling out dough for Moravian chicken pies since she was married. She was married at 22, and is now 95 (“and one-half ” – she is specific). That’s a lot of years – and a lot of of chicken pie. What’s the secret to the perfect dough? “Well, to roll well, it has to be cold. And, of course, it takes practice and patience.”
Monies disbursed in November: • Kevin and Charity Manous $1,340 (Nov/Dec) • Prison Ministry $1,000 • Thiessen Ministry Mexico $1,000 Our guest speaker this month was Michael Tesh from Ray of Hope orphanage in Kenya. Michael has been back in the US recovering from a difficult case of malaria. He will be returning to Kenya on November 22. The orphanage has accepted more children this year. Michael discussed the wonderful harvest of corn which will help supply their food needs in the upcoming year. They also have two cows which they hope to breed and have additional calves. The biggest budget issues for Ray of Hope are school and medical fees. They also need batteries for the solar power. Four batteries cost around $2,000.

MORAVIAN YOUNG ADULT CONVO 2015 July 5 - 13, 2015 CZECH REPUBLIC AND GERMANY! Every four years Moravian young adults in North America have the opportunity to come together for a Moravian Young Adult Convocation. The next Young Adult Convo is this summer as participants will travel to the Czech Republic and Germany to see many of the historic Moravian sites and to find inspiration and vision for current ministry. In the Czech Republic the trip includes visiting Prague (where John Hus preached), Kunwald (where the Unitas Fratrum, the early Moravian Church, first settled), and the Chalice Rocks (where members of the Unitas Fratrum met during their time of persecution). In Germany the trip includes visiting Herrnhut (where the Unitas Fratrum experienced a great spiritual renewal). All Moravian young adults ages 18 through 26 are invited to attend this summer’s Moravian Youth Adult Convo 2015. The dates for the trip are July 5–13, 2015. The theme for the trip is “Make the Moravian Journey Home and Catch a Vision for Our Future!” For more information about Convo 2015, please check its website at http://convo2015.wordpress. com/ or its Facebook page at “Moravian Young Adult Convo 2015”. You can register online at http://www. planetreg.com/MoravianYoungAdultConvo2015. There is a limited number of spaces for this trip, and registrations need to be in by January 15, 2015. If you have questions, please contact Doug Rights, Director of Youth, College and Young Adult Ministries at drights@mcsp.org or call (336) 722-8126. Young Adult Convo 2015 is sponsored by the Northern and Southern Provinces of the Moravian Church in North America and is for young adults ages 18-25 who graduated high school in 2014 or earlier. The registration deadline is January 15, 2015. Due to limited space for this trip, registrations will be on a first come first serve basis. It is expected that those who decide to take this pilgrimage will do so out of a desire to grow both spiritually and intellectually. The goal of this trip
will be to form a community of faith, energized for service and mission in the name of Jesus Christ, while learning the stories of our spiritual forbearers.
