The truth is, in Alaska 60% of women will experience domestic violence in her life time. That is OVER twice the national average. As a community of faith, we are called to be the voices of those who do not have voices of their own. We are called to stand up to the injustice of the world. We are called to join together and share the love that we all know. Everyone is invited to join us on October 28th at 6pm to participate in a service of prayers for this that have been touched by Domestic Violence. 2

4 The Bible and Human Sexuality: Claiming God s Good Gift By Ellen A. Brubaker Leader s Guide ~By M. Garlinda Burton The 2016 Spiritual Growth study invites us to explore the complexity of the biblical text and our varied understandings of it in light of human sexuality. We will also examine the influence of theologians and church leaders throughout thousands of years of Judeo-Christian history. Finally, we will consider the influence of family systems, heritage, and changing gender roles, along with the impact of race, class, age, ethnicity, and orientation and how each of us was reared and instructed in our Christian faith. Talking about Sexuality and the Church Whether you agree or disagree with the official stances of The United Methodist Church, it is important to be conversant about them. It is important to be aware of your own beliefs, feelings, biases, and understandings because this self-awareness leads to conversation and understanding. Sexuality is not an easy topic for most of us. Many Christians have confusing and complicated notions of human sexuality, the Bible, our personal beliefs, and what the church should and should not teach and require. It is Good The good news, says Ellen Brubaker, is that human sexuality is part of who we are as human beings, created by God and called good. Sexuality, at its best, is a divine gift meant to enhance and strengthen relationships and draw us closer to our partner, she explains. And there are many citations in the Bible that point to the good gift of sexuality, explicitly and implicitly, beginning with the creation stories in Genesis. Finding a Loving Response The world is watching and waiting for a relevant, compelling, loving, challenging, and cogent word from the Body of Christ. Our silence or simplistic thou shalt nots are no longer adequate for the people in our care for those who claim church membership and those who need and seek spiritual community. We are sexual beings. God made us that way. Sexuality can be celebrated and it can be exploited; it can draw us closer to the one we love, or it can divide whole communities of faith. Yet, we are called to be the Beloved Community of healing, wholeness, reconciliation, and love. How we help one another make sense of the beauty and complexity of sexuality is the purpose of this study. Open your minds and hearts, and let s wrestle together. ~Adapted from the Leaders Guide by M. Garlinda Burton~ Climate Justice: Call to Hope and Action Edited by Pat Watkins Leader s Guide ~By Anna Rhee Climate Justice: Call to Hope and Action will deepen your understanding and awareness of climate change and its impact on God s creation. The study highlights justice, peace, and integrity of creation as important dimensions of partnering in God s mission today. It offers participants biblical, theological, and ethical insights as the basis of their advocacy on climate justice in churches and in the public sphere. Deepen Understanding Learn not only about climate change, but also about the justice concerns raised by the drivers of climate change and the communities affected by it. Participants in this study will also learn how their own actions contribute to climate change and what they can do to positively affect the environment. Equipped with this information, they will be able to share their knowledge, be intentional about living a sustainable lifestyle, and learn how to support those who suffer because of climate change. Diverse Perspectives Each chapter gives a different perspective of climate justice through the eyes of eight diverse authors. Participants will study: the ways God has asked us to care for the earth; the perspectives of those who are currently affected by the realities of climate change; the meaning of climate justice and the perspective and priorities it requires; and the rich resources available in the life of the Church and beyond to address these concerns 4

6 First United Methodist Church Book Club September 28th we discussed Searching for Sunday by Rachel Held Evans. Like millions of her millennial peers, Rachel Held Evans didn't want to go to church anymore. The hypocrisy, the politics, the gargantuan building budgets, the scandals--church culture seemed so far removed from Jesus. Yet, despite her cynicism and misgivings, something kept drawing her back to Church. And so she set out on a journey to understand Church and to find her place in it. Centered around seven sacraments, Evans' quest takes readers through a liturgical year with stories about baptism, communion, confirmation, confession, marriage, vocation, and death that are funny, heartbreaking, and sharply honest. A memoir about making do and taking risks, about the messiness of community and the power of grace, Searching for Sunday is about overcoming cynicism to find hope and, somewhere in between, Church. We discussed how our past experiences in the church (both positive and negative) mold who we are and how we respond to church. terrors of war, she meets Gäetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others. With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women's war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war -torn France--a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime. We will be meeting I the home of Ann York, 2437 Loussac Drive, October 26th at 7:00 p.m. For November we choose a classic Where the Red Fern Grown by Wilson Rawls. We are always looking for great new books to discuss! Please come and share what you are reading. On October 26 we will be discussing The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah: In love we find out who we want to be. In war we find out who we are. FRANCE, 1939 In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesn't believe that the Nazis will invade France but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Vianne's home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive. Vianne's sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown October: Nightingale By Kristin Hannah November: Where the Red Ferns Grow By Wilson Rawls 6
