A person living out the journey motif sees life as an adventure that involves new situations and learnings. This person is always open to something new. An individual embracing the battle motif is holding firm to what he or she believes. This person might see the church in a spiritual war with the surrounding culture. The interior castle motif describes a life that is inward and focused on deep contemplation and meditation. All the motifs have biblical basis. Personally, I have always embraced the journey model. I am constantly open to new learnings and lessons about life as I work at becoming the person God created me to be. This motif is further understood in the book, The Pilgrim s Progress, by John Bunyan. The author pictures the spiritual journey as a road full of trials, dangers, and blessings, starting with the cross and ending in the Celestial City. As a person embracing a spiritual journey understanding of life, I realize the person I am today is not necessarily the same person I was twenty-five years ago. Through the ups and downs of life I have learned more about God and more about myself. I am sure many of you would say the same thing about yourself! In February, I will preach a series entitled, Learnings for Life. The aim is to focus on lessons learned over the years. Messages will include a focus on God, Problems, Religion, and Self. My hope is that my words will help you bring voice to your words about your spiritual life. We can learn and grow together! I look forward to seeing you in worship on Sunday mornings! Blessings to You! Scott

5 P A G E 5 Trustee News by Jerry Earles Trustee News Yep, I am back again. It became easier to push writing the news aside and not do it. But it is a new year with new goals and resolutions. I didn t want to stress myself out, so I only wrote two and I made them easy to do. The first one is that when I come to Church at 6:30 on Sunday mornings to check the air conditioning or heating system to make sure that they are working, I will stop in the Prayer room and say a prayer for the health and prosperity of the church and its members. I will thank the Lord for all the blessings he has bestowed upon me and my family. The second one that I have been thinking about for a year is that I will attempt to sit in a different pew each week that I attend. Actually that means that I will have to sit in the same pew twice each year as we don t have enough pews to last the year. I have only done this 3 times and one would be surprised about the reactions. I get the look, What are you doing sitting back here? and then I give them my resolution. How much would the Church change if everyone would find a new place to sit (just for the day) and get to know the people around them? We got the new roof put on the Church. Bill and Ron are busy repairing the water damage in the Women s bathroom, the walls and hallways under the Bell Tower and replacing the last of the florescent lights on the first floor of Charterhouse. The Trustees have discussed the projects that we would like to complete this year. Certainly there are more projects than we have the energy to do or the finances to complete. We welcomed two new members to the Trustee Committee. They are Alan Bowers and Kim Matthias. We wish to thank Jim Jorgeson, Melody Barker and Travis Schwartz for their contributions for the past years. Other current members of our committee are Rick Greiner, Lynn Henkle, Don Smith, Deb Ehlers, Nick Lake and Mark Penne. They are the eyes and ears of the group, the strong backs when we have a project, the contributors of ideas to resolve issues and just good Christians serving their God. Serving to facilitate the mission of the Church-Jerry
