1 The clarion May 2018 Touching lives with compassion, understanding and hope My wife and my daughter, Lilac, have been infected by a strange kind of disease. It s called rollercoaster-itus. I don t know if there is a cure, but I do know that, even if there was, they would not be interested. We have season passes to Cedar Point this year so they can get their fix of thrills. Or attempt to, because no amount of roller coaster-ing seems to be sufficient. This winter they have been watching various videos on YouTube including interviews with fellow coaster-heads, point-of-view videos where you get to see first-hand all the twists and turns and inversions, and lots of news updates about the new roller coaster at Cedar Point this summer (which is called Steel Vengeance and which you should not ask either of them about unless you are prepared for a lengthy and comprehensive diatribe about its many unique and record-breaking features). Now, while I am nowhere near as crazed as the two of them, I have come to thoroughly enjoy riding roller coasters. But I didn t start out that way. At different times in my life, I have been scared of them. They are fast, high off the ground, somewhat unpredictable, and very fast, which I know I already said, but it bears repeating. Perhaps, though, more than any of that, while riding a roller coaster I have absolutely no control over things whatsoever. I can t slow it down or make it stop. I can t control where it goes or how it twists or turns. I am held entirely captive and taken on the wildest of rides. It s a control freak s nightmare. Because of that, I ve learned that the only way to enjoy a roller coaster is to completely give in to it. I have to let myself go and trust the engineers and operators and physics and lap restraints and trust that I will not go flying out of the car to my demise. Failure to do so is a guarantee of terror. Managing to let go and trust, however, opens up a pathway to intense exhilaration that leaves me breathless and laughing from utter joy. There is another opportunity in life that parallels that same experience, and that is the opportunity of faith. Faith can be even more frightening than a record-breaking roller coaster. At least on Steel Vengeance there is a seat belt and leg restraints that you can see and feel holding you securely. And a roller coaster ride is over in a matter of seconds. The life of faith lasts, well, forever. Either way, however, the secret to experiencing it is the same. The only way to enjoy this life of faith is to completely surrender to it, to trust in the Designer and Operator, to be moved and lifted by the forces of the Holy One on the ride of life. And if you thought that roller coaster was amazing, just you wait. --Pastor Ben
2 OUR CHURCH REMINDERS Our first Discipleship Class gave us plenty to think about as we explored our beliefs about the nature of God. Class members began drafting their own personal creeds in an effort to better express for themselves just what they believe. Along the way we also got into some good Bible study, denominational identity, and theology. Thank you, all, for coming. Thanks, too, to Sally and Jan for the soup and sandwich lunch. Our next class meeting will follow worship on Sunday, May 20 where we will examine the nature of Christ. Please consider joining us. It s not too late! Pastor Ben IMPORTANT NOTE We will hold our Annual Congregational Meeting and Dinner on Sunday, June 24. If you need to submit a report to go into the Annual Report, please give them to the office no later than Monday, June 11.
