Refugees Welcome - by Katie Bulloff I am a news junkie. It can be a problem in this day and age because the news cycle is so fast and the world seems so scary at times. In these moments, I turn the television and my phone off, stop checking Facebook, and take the time to breathe and turn my brain off. The fact is though, the world does not stop turning and the news keeps coming during these breaks; I’ve just used the privilege that I have to stop my consumption of it for a while and even sometimes that does not even work. One of the stories that keeps playing in my mind, no matter what I do, is the global refugee crisis. We’ve all seen it; the pictures of children in perilous situations, the floods of people leaving their homes because it is no longer safe to reside there, and the faces of those who do not know where they will end up tomorrow. The news

is unavoidable; the world is facing the largest refugee crisis since World War II. Luckily, even when I want to bury my head in the sand, my church does not. Northminster’s history with refugees began 35 years ago when we started to work with Exodus Refugee Immigration. We’ve sponsored refugee families, supported Eagle Scout projects, given funds, and even volunteered there recently on our Day of Caring. Now, together with Exodus, The Polis Center, and Yardbox Films, Northminster is pleased to be presenting Refugees Welcome as part of the 2016 Spirit and Place Festival. An interactive, safe, and creative forum, this event will explore the concept of “home” through refugee perspectives through a program involving spoken word, art, faith, and data. We’ll hear stories from refugees from around the

world and how they made Indianapolis home and share our sense of home through art. This program is on November 12th from 2-4 pm at Northminster. You can preregister at www.spiritandplace.org. I hope you’ll intentionally turn off the news for a couple of hours and join us for this opportunity. Please bring new or gently used winter accessories or coats with you to this event as a “warm welcome” for refugees here in Indiana. Questions? Contact Katie Bulloff, Debbie Bulloff, or Dolly Craft.

New Members - by Ruth Moore Please welcome our newest members to our community of faith. Look for their pictures on the bulletin board off the Gathering Place. Janet Ingram – Janet comes to us by certificate of transfer from a Presbyterian church in Logansport. She is a retired social worker. She and her husband

David have two children and spend their winters in Florida. Adam and Andrea Brandes Newson – Adam and Andrea come to us from the Lutheran tradition. Andrea is Vice-President and General Counsel for the University of Indianapolis and Adam is a Deputy Fire Marshall with the IFD. Ask Adam about his fantastic sugar cream pie sometime! -2-

Clint and Molly Winkler – Clint and Molly come to us by reaffirmation of faith. Clint and Molly parent their three elementary school children Sam, Elliott and Mary. Molly is the daughter of Northminster church members, Bo and Mary Walker.

Pastoral Ponderings - by Teri Thomas celebration. Huge thanks to all who made visits and to all who participated so generously. Final results are not in when this goes to print, but I have faith!

Sometime during the month of November I always begin to hum some old, old song about counting blessings. I am not sure I have ever actually sung it, but somehow it has been planted in my brain. Do you know it? Count your blessings; Name them one by one. Count your blessings; See what God hath done. Text: Johnson Oatman, Jr., 1856-1922 Music: Edwin O. Excell, 1851-1921

So in no particular order, let me begin my list… I am thankful for all those who worked so hard on our Capital Campaign and our Annual Campaign. John and Cheryl Plunket and Jennifer Dzwonar were committed, organized and fun chairs of the whole effort. Kristin Keltner put her huge heart and keen mind into working with our visitors, recruiting, training, supporting them all the way along. Andy and Lisa Longo did the publicity. Ruth Moore organized our great speakers and writers to share their personal stories with us. Chad Kincaid knows how to throw a party. He and Tori led our kick-off event and our final

I am thankful for people who serve on the staff of this congregation. Two of our staff members, Katie Bulloff and Jacob Mann will be completing their ministries with us at the end of December. Katie has been with us on a part-time basis for three years assisting in the areas of Stewardship, Social Media, and Communications. Her understanding of new technologies and her creativity have served us well. Katie’s position was originally created with a special gift and those funds have run out. She will certainly be missed. Jacob Mann became our Middle School Youth Director in September of 2003. He came on board for 10 hours a week so Julie Shannon could cut back after Stella was born. There is a large part of Jacob that has never grown older and that has enabled him to relate so well to our middle schoolers. He is a wonderful blend of youthful enthusiasm and experienced faith and commitment. The youth, their parents, and our staff will all miss Jacob and his contributions. There are so many things I can be thankful for today, but my greatest blessing is that I am able to share them with all of you. Northminster is a blessing. -3-

November Worship – by Teri Thomas

November 6th is the 25th Sunday of Pentecost. It is also the Sunday before election day and the scriptures for the day talk about the end of the world. Is this a prediction? A warning? A joke? Let’s consider this. We will also celebrate the sacrament of communion at both services. November 13th the Old Testament reading is Isaiah 65:17-25. The prophet tells of a new heaven and new earth the Lord is creating. It always makes me think of this painting of the Peaceable Kingdom…

November 20th is Reign of Christ Sunday (also called Christ the King Sunday). This Sunday marks the end of Ordinary Time and moves us into the season of Advent. This day celebrates the Lordship of Christ by looking back at his life, and pointing ahead to his rule in the Kingdom of God. (Continued on page 4)

November Worship (Continued from page 3) November 23rd, 7 pm, is our Interfaith Thanksgiving Service. Christian, Jewish and Muslim congregations in our area will gather to celebrate our common heritage and pray for peace. The service rotates among all our congregations.

Clothe-a-Child – Play a Role! - by Maureen Purcell Clothe-a-Child Thursday, Dec. 1, 9 am - 1 pm Sears in Castleton Square Ed and Janet Swearingen were devoted to the annual Clothea-Child event for many years, as shoppers as well as financial supporters. Such was his devotion that Ed asked, upon his death earlier this fall, that memorial contributions be made to the project. He understood the connection between the Clothe-a-Child envelope in our pews and the act of guiding a child through Sears’ shoeboxes and coat racks. It was a promise fulfilled. Now we need you to sign up and you can do it lots of convenient ways: the Gathering Space on Sunday mornings throughout November, the signup sheet on the Deacon’s board in the choir hallway, visiting the events page on the website, or by contacting Maureen Purcell (mdeaverpurcell@yahoo.com) or Mike Shannon (mshannon@ miller-eads.com) Here’s what we need: 4 people to ride the school buses that leave School #55 on East 54th Street at 9AM and return to the school by 1:30pm. A versatile position, you may shop with a child, serve at check-out and help process shopping bags, or serve pizza.

Above: Betty Bowers and friend, Clothe-a-Child 2015

60-80 people to shop will meet at Sears in Castleton Square by 8:30 to get instructions which include locating already purchased uniforms, keeping running totals on the costs of clothing you choose, accompanying your shopper to the snack room for pizza party, games, and entertainment, and escorting your shopper back to the buses about 1pm. 6-8 people needed to assist Sears employees during check out process , carry bags to the storage room for sorting , and passing them out to children as they head for the bus. 3 people to help serve up the pizza and other treats from about 11 am to 1 pm. 2-3 Entertainment folk to lead the crowd through interactive activities -5-

appropriate for a multi generational group like singing and crafts. This will run from about noon to 1 at which time the kids will be dismissed to the buses. 1 Mrs. Lourdes Holloway (School #55 Counselor) to shop for children unable to attend on that day, to answer questions about anything you don’t understand on a shopping list, and to enjoy her day while you and the kids play together. Financial support to make it all possible. Remember our friend Ed and check your pew cards for our special Clothe-a-Child envelope. And all of God’s people say, “Amen!”

Church School in November - by Debbie Bulloff Consider the scripture and talk with your friends and family about the question at the end of each week’s lesson. Copies of the Bible stories from the Seasons of the Spirit curriculum are available in your child’s classroom. The booklet, Living the Season after Pentecost at Home, is also available.

Fourth Sunday Adult Education

Join Associate Pastor Ruth Moore for adult education on November 27 at 10 am in the Conference Room as we continue our discussion of how books got into the bible, and we will “bible ourselves up” for advent as well. (Yes Advent is coming and begins on November 27th!) All are welcome!

Thank You!

Dear Northminster Friends, Lowell and Pennie Lumley would like to thank you for your many kindnesses following Lowell's recent surgery and during his ongoing recovery. The blessings came in so many ways: prayers, of course, visits from pastors and others, a prayer shawl, get-well cards and notes, the loan of medical equipment and some sumptuous casseroles. It has been, indeed, an abundant joy!


November 2016

Thank You Abundantly! Thank you to all those who have supported the Abundant JOY campaign with your financial gifts, your time, your talents, your wisdom and your prayers.

Your efforts will bring joy and fulfillment, not only to you but also to many others throughout the coming years.

Interfaith Thanksgiving Service Gratitude is taught by all religions. In honor of that gratitude, First Baptist Church (8600 N. College Ave., Indianapolis, IN 46240) is hosting the annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Service.

The public is invited to see and hear how different faiths express thankfulness, to demonstrate the respect that we have for other religions, and to enjoy our own freedom of religion. We will be

joined by local Christian, Jewish and Muslim congregations. The service will be on Wednesday, November 23, 7:00 pm. Everyone is invited and welcome.

Sound & Spirit Presents: Choral Dimensions - by John Wright The Northminster Chancel Choir, Chamber Ensemble and Indianapolis’ newest chamber choir, C4, will present a concert of choral masterworks and 21st century compositions 7:00 pm., Friday, November 4th, in Northminster’s sanctuary. This concert of eclectic repertoire will include smaller a cappella pieces, fuller pieces with organ, and folk songs and spirituals. Choral music of various countries will be represented, including America, England, Germany, Ireland, and Norway. Featured composers include J. S. Bach, William Byrd, René Clausen, Ola Gjeilo and Charles Stanford. Joining the choirs will be Anna Danilova, Cello and Heather Hinton, Organ. Here is a preview of three unique pieces: O Magnum mysterium – written by the young Norway composer Ola Gjeilo in 2012. Symphonic in nature, the piece portrays a “spacey” wash of sound and incorporates cello and 16 part chorus. JERUSALEM is an ancient Irish tune. The 1992 arrangement we’ll sing is by Michael McGlynn. Set for treble voices, the piece incorporates heterophony,

a form of singing in which each singer sings her line in isolation at different times than her neighboring singers. This creates a “cacophony” of sound. Te Deum in B flat was composed by the English composer Charles Stanford in 1878. Stanford is now chiefly known for his sacred choral and organ works, but he wrote quite bit of music for the stage – 7 symphonies, 9 operas, 28 chamber works. Te Deum is a quintessential British sacred piece. It incorporates organ and chorus in the grand British style. A quartet makes an appearance near the end of the work. The work is unique in that there is a section marked “Decani” and one marked “Cantoris.” These are terms associat-

ed with the church of England. Decani (Latin for “of the Dean”) denotes the side of the church occupied by the Dean, which is typically the choir stalls on the south side of the chancel. Cantoris (Latin for “of the cantor”) is the side of the church occupied by the cantor, which is typically the choir stalls on the north side of the chancel. The choirs and their directors are looking forward to sharing this music with listeners. Doug Johnson, founder and director of C4 states, “We’re still a new ensemble, so collaboration with such an esteemed program is a huge honor for us.” As with all Sound & Spirit concerts, Choral Dimensions is a free event.
