Women of Witness shares Jesus through good deeds

BY JOSIE SELLERS Women of Witness is a nondenominational organization.

For information, call 622-3797 or e-mail womenofwitness@sbcglobal.net.

The group’s office, located on Main Street between Goodwill and The Goodness Bookstore, is open on Tuesdays.

COSHOCTON – In the Bible, Galatians 6:2 says, “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

“This is the foundation for Women of Witness,” said Cindy Carroll. “We want to walk alongside women in the community who have spiritual, physical or even emotional needs and love and support them.”

The overall goal is to be sisters in Christ.

“We want to show them Jesus in the flesh through random acts of kindness,” Carroll said.

The small, but mighty group was founded by Lena Crouso and is now led by Carroll who is the ministry director.

Members are involved in jail ministry, praying for the community, helping with the National Day of Prayer, assisting mothers in need of diapers and wipes, distributing school supplies and offering fellowship opportunities through the fall rally and spring tea.

“Our Helping Hands School Supply Drive helps family with back to school needs,” Carroll said. “We pack book bags full of basic school supplies and last year handed out between 250 and 300. It’s all done through community donations.”

Women of Witness is a nonprofit organization and greatly appreciates the help of the community with its projects.

“There are a lot of kind and generous hearts in this community,” Carroll said.

The organization also is happy to announce

that New Beginnings Ministry in Warsaw will be assisting with this year’s Helping Hands School Supply Drive.

“They offered a similar program, but also included haircuts and clothing so we decided to collaborate,” Carroll said.

This year’s event will be Aug. 10 at the Coshocton County Career Center and include supplies and haircuts. Details about the clothing are being worked out and so is the possibility of presentations on healthy snacks by Mike Cichon from the Career Center.

Women of Witness also is in the process of putting together its spring tea, which is set for April 13 at Emmanuel Lutheran Church and will include music, lunch and a guest speaker.

The group also works hard to connect women in the community with its partner agencies that might be able to address their needs in difficult times.

“God tells us to give our time, treasures and talents,” Carroll said. “It’s not always about money. Our time and talents are just as important.”

Jesus was always there to minister to people and Carroll hopes that the community sees that through their actions.

“People in our community need to know Jesus and how can you know him if you don’t see him?” she said. “It’s really all about showing people Jesus.”

COSHOCTON - NewPointe Community Church had its first service in Coshocton in January and since then has shared the word of God with hundreds of people each week.

“The first service blew our minds,” said Campus Pastor John Bunn. “There were 341 people there. We were kidding about what to

expect and one person said 150 and another said 305 and we thought that was optimistic.”

The church had its first service Jan. 6, at the Coshocton County Career Center and volunteers actually had to set up more chairs to accommodate everyone who attended.

“It was crazy that morning, but our volunteers did an unbelievable job and had it handled,” Bunn said.

He figured the crowd would grow smaller, but that did not happen.

“The first Sunday is typically big because you get a lot of well wishers, but then you get a more normal attendance to build and grow on,” Bunn said. “Our second Sunday ended up being just as big and we didn’t expect that. We knew if we stayed at this level, there wouldn’t be enough room for people to see the screens or the stage.”

The problem of overcrowding was solved by offering two services.

“We went to two services on our seventh Sunday and attendance is still really good,” Bunn said. “I think we had 360 last Sunday (March 3) and that was one of our biggest.”

The attendance numbers may sound impressive, but what really gets Bunn excited is the difference he sees God making in people’s lives.

“There was a 65-year-old couple that I prayed at their home with to help them accept Christ,” Bunn said. “Stories like that about what God is doing are what encourage me. I share them with our team of volunteers and it gets them fired up.”

Volunteers are another key part of the church.

“I couldn’t do it without them,” Bunn said.

“They deserve all the credit.”

The church launched in January with

BY JOSIE SELLERS

roughly 90 volunteers helping to make services run smoothly.

“I have a bunch of people in Coshocton that make me look way better than I am,” Bunn said.

Volunteers have especially been helpful in providing ministry to children.

“When we had to go to two services, we were thin in the kids’ area so we had a volunteer training session and at least 60 people stayed to find out where they were needed,” Bunn said.

Reaching families is a big goal of the church.

“We want to minister to the whole family,” Bunn said. “What happens at home is more important than church.”

Programs for birth through eighth grade are set up in classrooms at the school.

“We take over for the day and transform the school into a church,” Bunn said.

Volunteers start setting up at 6 a.m. and every Sunday load and unload trailers of supplies.

“Our long-term goal is to have our own building, but right now we have no specific plans,” Bunn said. “We are just praying and trusting God while we build our core and continue to get established.”

The church also has campuses in Canton, Dover and Millersburg and messages are delivered by video from Dwight Mason who is the lead pastor in Dover.

“Services are upbeat and definitely make you think,” Bunn said. “We think you should be able to have fun in church and we are not afraid to laugh and be loud, but ultimately it’s all connect to where we are headed that day,” Bunn said.

average, the Hope Clinic now sees 30 patients each Thursday. In March 2010, they were blessed with the gift of the Davis Dry Cleaning building at 131 S. 6th Street. They tore down walls and began to build a medical clinic. They now have five examining rooms, chiropractor room, optometry room, laboratory, meeting room, two prayer rooms, registration, child care, and two handicap accessible restrooms. This process was completed with volunteers.

They moved into their new home on Thursday, May 26, 2011. The grand opening and ribbon cutting was on June 4, 2011 with more than 200 people in attendance. The Hope Clinic saw 25 new patients in the first three weeks at their new location. Patients are seen free of charge and everyone involved with the Hope Clinic of Coshocton is a volunteer.

Widder begins preparing for this annual concert in the fall when he purchases the music and distributes the music to instrumentalists and the five participating choirs in mid-January. Their first rehearsal together will be at 3 p.m. April 7 at the church. More than 100 people participate in this event each year.

Widder said they had about 200 people attend last year and hopes to see the audience grow every year.

“Our main vision is leading souls to Christ and this is just another way to do that through the power of music,” said Widder. “We want

them to be closer to the throne of God.” Malone University Chorale will be at Roscoe United Methodist Church on May 5 and has invited the choirs to sing “The Majesty and Glory of Your Name” with them.

“It’s a lot of fun,” said Widder. “I really enjoy this.”

COSHOCTON - Five local churches will showcase their musical talents at 3 p.m. on April 14 at Roscoe United Methodist Church as part of the ninth annual Music Fest. This year, the churches involved include Park United Methodist Church, West Lafayette United Methodist Church, Coshocton Nazarene Church, Roscoe United Methodist Church, and Nellie United Methodist Church.

The choirs, along with various instrumentalists, will perform sacred music in the sanctuary of the church. No tickets are needed to come to the event. However, an offering will be taken to defray the cost of the music. Any profit made will go to the Hope Clinic.

“I just think it’s a good project, helping those in need,” Les Widder, Director of Music Ministry at Roscoe, said about the Hope Clinic.

Each choir will do two songs of its own and two songs will be sung as a group for the introduction and the benedict response. These two songs, “Until Then” and “The Majesty and Glory of Your Name”, will be sung with the choirs surrounding the audience.

“Every choir wears their own church’s robe, so it’s very colorful on stage,” said Widder. He also commented on the quality of sound in the church, saying, “The acoustics in this church are wonderful.”

COSHOCTON - The Coshocton Presbyterian Women recently delivered a welcome surprise to the nurses in the Coshocton Hospital Birthing Center.

The delivery was a gift of 26 boxes of diapers, 26 boxes of baby wipes and 27 bottles of ointments and lotions collected from the Presbyterian Church membership as a part of a year-long mission entitled “Touching Little Lives.” Included with the delivery were 10 blankets, each hand-crocheted by members Wanda McFarland and Betty Salvage, who have been regularly donating hand-crocheted infant blankets to the hospital for more than a decade.

Presbyterian Women selects a project each year in keeping with the group’s mission statement: Disciples in Christ in Mission and Ministry. This year’s mission is intended to help Coshocton Hospital mothers who need assistance with basic infant supplies as they leave the hospital with their newborns.

“When we have mothers who are struggling to afford the basic necessities for their babies, it’s important to have supplies to help give them the right start,” said Beth McKeown, RN, Coshocton Hospital Birthing Centre Head Nurse. “With this gift, the Presbyterian Women are reaching out to young families in need right here in our community and their help is truly appreciated.”

take a few minutes and talk to someone, you can learn so much about their lives. It’s very rewarding. This gives me an opportunity to think outside of myself and think about other people.”

The monthly dinners average about 50 – 70 people per month. The community dinners could always use more volunteers. Contact Shirley at the church office to volunteer or send donations.

“I think I have gained so much more over the last year than I could give,” said Carroll. “I hope we can continue to do this for a long time because it is making a difference. It’s been very rewarding to me.”

The Central Christian Church just started having community dinners this year and have their dinners on the fifth Wednesday of the month whenever that occurs because at the end of the month is when people have the greatest needs.

“The need here in Coshocton is big,” said Rev. Philip Hunt. “We’re glad to be able to do this.”

Hunt commented that volunteers have been numerous and that members from other churches have stepped up to volunteer their time as well.

“We’ve had quite a number of volunteers at the church,” said Hunt.

“People have been very good about volunteering and we’ve had people volunteer from other churches as well.”

Central Christian takes donations from the community closer to the time of the dinners. They serve their dinners at the church from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m.

COSHOCTON - Many churches in our area are reaching out to the community through community dinners once a month. Whether you are struggling to make ends meet, or just want to have a hot meal with a group of friends from the community, these local churches cater to everyone’s needs.

“We encourage anyone to come,” said Debbie Wallace, coordinator of the community meals at the Coshocton Presbyterian Church. “Come and eat with us. You don’t have to be in need of a meal to come and eat with us.”

The Presbyterian Church started serving meals the third Wednesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in December of 2011. They currently have 20 volunteers, but more people are encouraged to sign up to help. The meal averages about 45 – 50 people per night.

“We felt there was a need,” said Wallace, “and we also felt that we needed to do a project that would bring us closer to the need.”

Once a month, the Presbyterian Church also has a meal and movie night. Wallace has noticed that some that have attended community dinners in the past have started coming to movie night and other outreach activities at the church.

“A more important goal of these community dinners is to build relationships with these people,” said Wallace.

Cindy Carroll, organizer of the community dinners for Burt Avenue Wesleyan Church, has also noticed that many people who attend their community dinners are also becoming more involved with their outreach programs.

“We are starting to see them feel a part of the church and that’s our ultimate goal,” said Carroll.

The Burt Avenue Wesleyan Church has their community dinners the second Wednesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. and began serving in January 2012. They currently have about 15 – 20 volunteers helping to prepare and serve food each month.

“When I decided to take this on, one thing I stressed was it needed to be a community effort,” said Carroll. “One or two people could not do this.

It had to be a church effort.”

Carroll said the church has really been helping with donations for the community dinners. The Sunday before the meal, Carroll circulates a list of ingredients needed for the meal, and the church’s response is overwhelming.

“They’ve been very supportive,” said Carroll. “They just go above and beyond for such a small church.”

The church tries to serve a wide-variety of food each month and collaborate with other churches so that they don’t serve the same meal that another church served the previous week. Carroll also commented that these meals in area churches help residents in the community stretch their food dollars.

“We have had families say that community dinners make a difference to them,” said Carroll. “We’re doing something that meets a need.”

Burt Avenue also makes sure to ask for prayer requests during the meal. People can fill out cards and place them in a prayer box. Carroll assures everyone that a prayer will be said for each concern.

“We want to develop relationships with our neighbors and our community,” she said. “I love to sit and hear people’s stories. If you just

COSHOCTON - The concept of personalizing the Lord’s Prayer for Coshocton has been long in the making. Finally it was moved from concept to reality early on a Sunday morning in November 2011 when I was awakened to begin writing the details to make it happen. A draft sketch and three pages of notes started an amazing day under the direction of the Holy Spirit. Always seeking Divine confirmation to establish the validity of His “promptings,” Sharon and I were in awe when attending church that morning. We heard the announcement of a city wide prayer service for later that night at the Nazarene church, seeking community prayer for the city, with the theme to be “The Lord’s Prayer.” Somehow, until that morning, we had not heard about this event. We went to the well attended meeting and along with many others, joined with various pastors who led prayer following the path of Jesus’ prayer. It was

plainly obvious this poster was something God was directing.

The Lord’s Prayer is perhaps the most familiar passage of scripture and can be recited by almost all Christians. When the Messiah was asked how we should pray, He gave a blueprint for the simplicity of our approach to the Father.

As Mayor, I have frequently been told by many individuals and churches that they are praying for the city, county and yes, all government officials. I am also asked, “What can I be praying for?” This prayer is that answer.

The significance of personalizing the prayer to Coshocton is to take the global application of the sentence, “Thy will be done on Earth” to “Thy will be done in Coshocton.” All the needs and potential blessings for our city/county are summed up in this simple prayer. It’s not necessary to know all the details of issues we face, only to know that if you use this poster as a daily reminder, your prayer will be heard by our Father in Heaven, and He will act accordingly.

Once a person can see the value of this daily prayer, it can be altered as needed with the changing of the word “Coshocton” to whatever is placed on your heart for daily prayer: Family, military, the sick, churches, groups, vocations such as fire-police-teachers, etc.

Faith Renewed

CONTRIBUTED BY THE REV. WILBUR F. WHITE FROM THE CHRISTIAN APOSTOLIC CHURCH

Everyone has faith in something, for without faith it is impossible to survive.

Whether we trust in ourselves, others, money, tradition, philosophy, or God, we all believe in something.

Ultimately, we must trust in God. While we need to take responsibility for our actions, we cannot, by our ability and performance, ensure our spiritual well-being or earn eternal life. Instead, we are saved by grace--the free gift of God--and we receive this gift through faith--by following His plan instead of our own ideas, by depending on His work in our lives instead of our own goodness.

Faith is not merely accepting a set of beliefs. In the fullest sense, faith means reliance and commitment, and it requires obedience to what we believe. If someone runs into the workplace yelling, “The building is on fire!” the response of faith is not merely a grin, a nod, and verbal acceptance.

Rather, if we believe the warning, we will immediately act upon it. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian executed by the Nazis, said, “Only he who is obedient believes.”

When Jesus called some Galilean fishermen to be his disciples, he said, “Cast aside your nets, and follow me.” They did not become disciples merely by believing him to be the Messiah, Lord, and Savior, or by verbally confessing him as such. They became his disciples only when they obeyed his instructions and began to follow him. Faith is only real in the act of obedience.

Christianity is more than mental acknowledgment, verbal profession, or even performance of religious duties. If we truly have faith in Jesus Christ, we will obey his gospel, and our lives will be transformed by his Spirit. (See Acts 2:38-30.)

Years ago, tightrope walkers used to demonstrate their talents by walking on a wire stretched over Niagara Falls. Crowds would gather to see this incredibly dangerous feat. Once, a performer promised to push a wheelbarrow across the wire. First, however, he wanted assurance from the audience that they believed he could do it. Eagerly, the crowd roared its approval several times.

Finally, the performer pointed to one of his most vocal supporters and said, “Jump in! I’ll wheel you across.” Neither this man nor anyone else would accept the offer. They had “faith” in the sense of opinion or agreement, but they were not willing to commit their lives to what they professed.

What kind of faith do we have? What kind of Faith does God expect?

Church starts prison ministry program

BY JOSIE SELLERS

COSHOCTON - Dr. Christy Nicely wanted to help her Sunday school class make a difference.

“I wanted us to do something, not just talk,” she said.

Nicely attends the Faith Builders Sunday School class at Roscoe United Methodist Church.

“As a class we were reading the book ‘Radical’ and talking about discipleship and how we bring people to church who didn’t grow up with it.”

After talking to her father Jon Mosier, Nicely decided that a good project for the church would be prison ministry.

“Dad retired from the Sheriff Office and is now a bailiff at common pleas court,” she said. “He’s seen a lot of the same people come into the system time and time again.”

Nicely’s father felt that people failed when they got out of prison because they didn’t have a good support system that was a positive influence.

“We don’t have a formal program, but we try to write letters to individuals who are incarcerated,” she said.

The church started the program a little over a year ago and has received a lot of positive feedback.

“We tell everyone that we are praying for them and their situation and a lot of them say they are praying for us too,” Nicely said.

The church gets its names of people to write to from Mosier and hopes to continue the program as long as it can.

“He asks people if they want to correspond with us and so far there hasn’t been a lack of interest,” Nicely said.

In addition to being a friend to prisoners, the church members also hope to get to know them well enough to someday offer a reference for a job and point them in the right direction for other life issues.

“We want to show them an alternative way of life,” Nicely said.

“It’s been a very rewarding experience and has helped us grow in our faith.”

COSHOCTON - The Coshocton Nazarene Church is back this year with a new and unique angle on the traditional Easter musical entitled, “This Light Remains”. The new musical was written and will be directed by Kris Hardesty.

The music was written by Barry Hardesty, Larry Lain, and Heather Swanson, all members of the church.

The musical not only tells of Christ’s death and resurrection, but focuses on the hope that Jesus provides for us every day and for our future. One song featured in the musical, ‘Hope of our Future’, reflects this theme.

“This musical really focuses on the perspective on a newly-wed women and mother who had a child around Jesus’s birth who was killed by Hared,” said youth pastor, James Rose. “She has lived with this bitterness and resentment knowing that her child was killed in place of another child. She meets Jesus after His resurrection and comes to understand and believe

in Him. She comes to realize that He was killed in her place.”

The initial planning and script-writing for the musical began in late October with rehearsals starting in late January. More than 100 people are involved in the play, either on stage or behind the scenes.

Two new actors will be portraying Jesus this year, Nathan Lain and Matt Mathias. Each will perform every other night.

The play will be performed at 7:30 p.m.

March 23, 24, 29, and 30 at the Coshocton Nazarene Church. Tickets are $1 and can be purchased at the church, Buehler’s, the Good News Book Store, and Baker’s. Tickets are on sale now.

“We’re really hoping we can reach out to not only people in the community, but to people who are unchurched and who may be going through some hard times,” said Rose. “We want them to understand that there’s more to Jesus and his resurrection than a chance for us to live eternally.

We have hope in Jesus Christ and we can rely on His strength.”
