3 NEWSLETTER TITLE (Rev. Paul Ganther adapted this article from an on-line blog by Matthew Porter of England on Discipleship. Blog-applies here, too!) Most people love receiving invitations. To a party. A meal. Wedding. A celebration. A special event. It s nice to be included-to feel part of something. It s good to know that you belong. But many don t feel like they belong. They feel lonely. In fact we live in a lonely society. That s why Mother Theresa is right when she famously said: The greatest disease today is not starvation but loneliness. Loneliness is one of the greatest ills of 21st Century Britain, and we re not immune to it here in York, or the North of England. Recent published research by the Mental Health Foundation shows that over 1 in 10 UK residents often feel lonely; just 1 in 5 people say they never feel lonely and half think that people in the UK are, in general, getting more lonely. People want to be included. They want to be invited. That s because we re made by God to live in The Power of Invitation community, in families, in homes, with a network of friends. That s a massive part of what church is about. And that s why all the evidence shows that most people today belong before they believe. They want to see what kind of community we are, before they commit to the head of the community, Jesus Christ. But how are they going to find out, unless they come? And how are they going to come unless someone invites them? You see, invitation is crucial. That s the power invitation. In John chapter 1, Philip meets Jesus and decides to follow him. He then wants his friend, Nathaniel to meet Jesus too maybe like you want your friend, or your family member, or your work colleague, to meet Jesus. So what does Phillip do? He tells his friend that he s found someone amazing-jesus Christ. But Nathaniel isn t sure and so Phillip replies: Come and see. He invites him. Simple as that. And Nathaniel agrees and meets Jesus and his life is transformed. But it wouldn t have happened unless Phillip had invited PAGE 3 him. Take out the invitation and Nathaniel would not have met Jesus. That s the power of invitation. But how does God normally invite people? On occasions he just intervenes and sovereignly does it himself. But normally he does it through his hands and his feet-his body. The church. That s how he operates. Through you and me. I was speaking with a man at the weekend who d become a believer in the last two weeks. He was very excited as he told me about his journey to faith! One crucial part included a friend inviting him on a Christian skiing holiday which opened up all sorts of conversations and opportunities for him to discover who Jesus is. Take out the invitation and this man would not have met Jesus. That s the power of invitation. So, who are you inviting? Have you got your invitations? Are you giving them away? Are you praying for invitation opportunities this week? Because this is the time to be inviting. This is the time to be maximizing the power of invitation.

4 VOLUME 1, ISSUE 1 PAGE 4 BOOK CLUB Book Club meets monthly and discusses a book we ve all been reading.

5 THE JACKSBORO PARISH UNWAVERING CONFORMITY: A SAVE THE DATE--Yearly Planning Ret reat Equitable Distribution of Resources: January 2014 Every year we come t ogether as a congregation t o plan f or t he New Year. More details are coming, but please put on your calendars t o be in attendance on January 18, 2014 f rom 930am t o 3pm. Lunch will be provided, bring snacks f or sharing if you d like f or a morning snack. Your voice needs t o be part of t hose discussions, your ideas needs t o be part of t hose discussions, and YOU need t o be part of planning t he New Year! See you in 2014! God told Moses that the promised land was to be distributed according to the relative size and needs of the various tribes: To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one (Nu 126:54). In this way, socioeconomic equity was ingrained in the DNA of Israel s agrarian economy. Biblical scholar Craig L. Blomberg observes, The ideal PAGE 5 contrasts markedly with arrangements in other feudal kingdoms near Canaan in that day, in which by far the more common pattern was the concentration of vast tracts of land among the royal and aristocratic elites, leaving a majority of the people in considerable poverty. Similarly, when we look to the New Testament, the book of Acts provides an outstanding example of how the equitable distribution of resources became an important characteristic of the early church (see Ac 2:42-47; 4:32-37). Today the same principle should govern our financial decisions. Second Corinthians 9:11 tells us that God makes us rich in every way so that we can be generous on every occasion. Thus, distributing resources equitably means recognizing the fact that in God s economy he equips some with more so that they can bless others who have less. Based on 2 Corinthians 8:13-14: Paul warns, however, that equality in giving should not cause the saints in one area to be eased while givers become burdened. The Jerusalem saints were not to enjoy plush seats while the Corinthian Christians sat on hard benches. On the contrary, there should be wisdom and a sense of balance in the matter of sharing the resources of a local church. We are also to be gracious receivers when it becomes necessary: Some people will not accept gifts lest they should be obligated to the donors. This, in Paul s view, is unethical (see 2 Co 8:13). We should gratefully receive all that God gives us through our brethren because the time may come when we must reciprocate. This truth was not for Corinth only; it is relevant today! Today we may have abundance and tomorrow we may be in want. Today we may live in luxury and tomorrow we may suffer need. Today we may have the privilege of giving and tomorrow we may have the equal privilege of receiving. As you read through today s Scripture please reflect on the following questions: what is one way in which you are rich, and how do you share your riches with others? Number 26:52-56

6 THE JACKSBORO PARISH CAROLING 2013 SAVE THE DATE--Yearly Planning Ret reat Many joined in joyful singing if nothing more than a joyful noise! We were like the reindeer Dasher going from place to place, Prancing and dancing with a smile on our face. Cupid came along with hugs all around, and one little vixen even hit the ground! Donning our Christmas festive gear, we were like a comet spreading cheer! Every year we come t ogether as a congregation t o plan f or t he New Year. More details are coming, but please put on your calendars t o be in attendance on January 18, 2014 f rom 930am t o 3pm. Lunch will be provided, bring snacks f or sharing if you d like f or a morning snack. Your voice needs t o be part of t hose discussions, your ideas needs t o be part of t hose discussions, and YOU need t o be part of planning t he New Year! See you in 2014! After spreading the light of Christ like Rudolph the red nose reindeer we blitzed back to the fellowship meal and carried on with SAVE THE DATE Yearly Planning Retreat Every year we come together as a congregation to plan for the New Year. More details are coming, but please put on your calendars to be in attendance on January 18, 2014 from 9:30am to 3pm. Lunch will be provided, bring snacks for sharing if you d like for a morning snack. Your voice needs to be part of those discussions, your ideas needs to be part of those discussions, and YOU need to be part of planning the New Year! See you in 2014! PAGE 6 Bible Babes RETURNS for another great year of womanshipping! It is a true blessing gathering as women with no concerns but building relationship with one another.

Can t wait to see what God brings us in the New Year!

7 THE JACKSBORO PARISH PAGE 7 Youth Group Never see this much concentration on their faces during our lessons on Wednesday There is nothing like opening your gift to find a Youth Group is always up for new & different challenges. Even singing some carols that are not familiar. We were a little off key but no one seemed to mind Singing to Loyce Ingram at Greystone He had a hard time deciding what gift to open. Youth had a blast singing carols to the residents of Jacksboro Health Care Center What a great meal for our Christmas Dinner! Joy to the World

8 THE JACKSBORO PARISH PAGE 8 PASTOR S PRATTLE Dear Church Family, I m sitting here pondering what 2014 will be like. This time of year we say such things as out with the old and in with the new, can t wait for this year to be over, looking forward to a new year, and I m so glad that 2013 is done! We relish looking toward new and exciting time, but we neglect remembering the good times that have just past. For instance, this past year was not the easiest for me and my family. However, we had a church family that surrounded us in love, that were here for us, that offered us grace, that cheered us on, that extended a helpful hand, compassion, and most importantly prayers would have been completely unbearable if we did not have the church. So for me, I am thankful for the gifts of this church and I will treasure every memory and every kindness that you extended to me and my family in As we usher in 2014, may we also reflect deeply on the past year and genuinely appreciate A year that offered laughter, tears, tender moments, family, friends, and a lifetime of experience. Just as every Sunday we come to the table in remembrance, may we also remember the lessons of 2013 as we welcome in 2014 and the lessons that this new year holds for us. God bless each and everyone of us in our remembering and in our expectations. Love and prayers, Pastor Ana Dear Church Family, Thank you for the gift you gave me and my family this Christmas. It truly is appreciated and we look forward to some special family time that this gift makes possible. Again thank you all! Much Love, Ana
