Two Perspectives on Stewardship Selfish (in a Good Way) By Randy Grooms Each year, the Grooms family makes a pledge to FPC Tyler for purely selfish reasons. I pledge because I want First Pres. to exist—and given your generosity, to thrive—because there are so many things about it that I would miss terribly if it weren’t here. I would miss having that chunk of time on Sundays to think about the holy in a place where I feel accepted and loved. I would miss the community of friends and neighbors that I’ve developed here. I would miss the beautiful music; especially the organ. I would even miss the occasional argument over seemingly inconsequential topics. I’m sure you have your own list of things you’d miss if First Pres. didn’t exist (many of which would be less selfish than mine). The truth is, First Pres.’s existence would be impossible if it weren’t for our annual pledges, which allow the Session to make a budget and a plan for the coming year. Many churches are struggling with large facilities and fewer members (as we are all too familiar), and some churches have had to cut their mission drastically. First Pres., however, has stayed true to our vision of outreach and ministry, and we should celebrate that. Last year we began encouraging everyone to look at our giving to the church so that we can keep this amazing community of faith going . . .

and going in the way that best fits our needs. This year we continue this focus hoping that people will pledge a percentage of their income and increase their giving as income increases. Please begin thinking prayerfully, progressively, and proportionally about your giving. In the current uncertainty of our financial times, you may have pause about declaring a pledge, but now is the perfect time to stand up and claim your priorities. Now is the time to say, “This is my church family. It is an ultimate priority. It’s my source of spiritual nourishment, challenging me to live beyond the voice of culture to the freer life of faith.” You’re a generous congregation. May you give generously to the church’s ministry and mission this year and experience the joy of giving, knowing what an important presence this church has in the world.

Moving Ahead, Looking Back By Skip Womack Talk about a walk down memory lane: I was digging through some old files on my computer and ran across a letter I wrote in October 2004 on behalf of the newly formed Budget & Finance Committee. (I guess my computer tech guys at the Andrews Center really know their stuff—no crashes in ten years!) I’d forgotten that we formed the B&F Committee as we were looking for

a pastor and attempting to answer financial questions about programming and personnel. In the letter, which was addressed to the congregation in appraisal of the situation, I described the proposed budget as “bare bones” with “no frills.” Ten years on, I still can’t see any frills or even much flesh on the bones, but our current budget has direction and focus that we didn’t have back then. Ten years ago, we were in survival mode, trying to pay the bills and keep the doors open. This year, our budget is funding new mission projects in Haiti and Pakistan, mission trips for high school and middle school, Vacation Bible School for all ages, a vibrant and growing Children’s Ministry, and a wonderful Fine Arts program. We have a worthy, qualified staff administering our programs, and we continue to improve our facilities and campus, including security for our children, upgrades to our sound system, and a more efficient HVAC system. Professionally, I work with folks beginning the recovery process. Sometimes, when you’re in the middle of recovery, it’s hard to see the progress you’ve made unless you look back. Ten years ago, the B&F Committee oversaw the beginning of FPC’s recovery. Today I can truly see the progress we’ve made—as a committee and as a congregation— in using the financial blessings God has given us.

The Mission Team Harnesses the Sun in Haiti

for the generosity of our church in providing the means to make this project happen. We were all aware that for each one of us, there were dozens of others standing behind us, lending us support and prayers. We will provide a fuller report to you once we catch our breath and debrief. But for now, just know how much your efforts are appreciated!

By Stuart Baskin | As I write these words, I am both elated and exhausted after our church’s latest trip to Haiti to “bring good news to the poor.” As you know, our Mission Committee has, with the blessing of the Session, entered into a long-term mission in Haiti to install water purification and solar-power systems at select sites in that nation, the poorest in the western hemisphere. These systems are designed to provide water that is safe for human consumption by drawing water through a series of filters which are powered by electricity generated by solar panels. The modest aim is not to put running water or electricity into individual homes, but—by working with local churches—to provide a central place where villagers can come to fill their water jugs.

The Power of Presbyterian Women

By Karen Novy | The theme for this year’s PW Thank Offering comes from Hebrews 10:14, “Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds.” In 1888, one lady in Ohio asked the Presbyterian women of her church to give at least an additional dollar as a “thank offering to her Lord.” Those ladies were credited with saving the world-wide missionary movement of the church at the time, and thus began the PW tradition of the annual Thank Offering. Since then, Presbyterian Women have continued to support this special offering which gives grant money for creative projects that help women and children, both here in the U.S. and around the world.

Four of us from FPC Tyler went on this trip, including Sally Smith, Ginny Mattox, Dan Daniel, and myself. We were met by three members of Central Presbyterian Church in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and an observer from Lumberton, North Carolina. Together, we successfully installed both the water and the solar-power systems at the church in the little community of St. Etienne du Buteau, about twenty-two miles as the crow flies west-southwest of Port au Prince.

This year’s goal for the entire PW organization is $900,000. How do they plan to meet that goal? One dollar at a time! Everyone in the church is invited to participate in accordance with how much they wish to thank God for their personal blessings. The offering will be received at a special service on November 17 (see page 4 for details), at the monthly Circle meetings, or in the church office. Help us show our love to others.

Of course, the most important work was not just the technical matter of bringing electricity and clean water to this poor community, but the relationships that we have begun building. Words cannot express the thanks of our mission team

Notes from Session

sus was that the Children’s Ministry is a good use of the church’s resources. One ongoing need is the recruitment of teachers and other volunteers.

Minutes recorded by Robyn Files The Session met on September 16 and conducted the following business: The consent agenda was approved, including the reception into active membership of Jill and Steve O’Farrell, Heather and Stephen Jones, and Jim Lestor.

Skip Womack presented the slate of nominated officers, including Traci Kenner, Carol Allen, Curtis Cooper, and Bob Skorkowsky (Session); Bob Schmoker and Alice Stjernstrom (Diaconate); Judith Guthrie and Mike Allen (Trustees); and Jim Novy (at-large member of the Nominating Committee). In addition, a group of Individually Commissioned Deacons (ICDs) would be elected.

As moderator of the Session, Stuart Baskin reported that the church has received twenty-seven new members this year and has lost thirty-one, sixteen of which were deaths. He also announced that a new, very active young adult Sunday school class, The 209ers, was begun by Debbie and Paul Pitts.

In old business, representatives from various committees were delegated to meet with the Presbyterian Children’s Home and Services regarding their request to have a presence in our church.

Wayne Babin, moderator of the Planning and Evaluation Committee, introduced the annual ministry review of the Children’s Ministry. Debbie Pitts, Children’s Ministry team moderator, reviewed the report. The consen-

College Mission Trip Retrospection

Men // Sermon texts 2nd/4th Mondays 10 am in homes Contact: Bill Myers (903) 825-7323

By Amy Knowles, TAMU Class of 2015 | When I decided to attend the college mission trip this summer in San Antonio, I went with the intentions of touching the lives of those I worked with. What occurred was my life being touched. Being put in situations ranging from helping the homeless, visiting with the elderly, and even worshiping with a ministry that reaches out to youth in gangs, opened my eyes and humbled my heart more than I ever could have imagined. The trip was a wonderful reminder of the blessings I have been provided during my life and the ways in which I can help others.

College Mission, continued from page 5 a family in Christ willing to love and support each other no matter the circumstances. On top of volunteering our time, worshiping, and learning from one another, we also floated the river, had dinner at the Tower of the Americas, and enjoyed the river walk. The only bad thing about this trip was me losing at Mexican Train sixteen times straight. This trip was the highlight of my summer and I wouldn’t take it back for anything. I am so blessed to have been a part of something so special.
