1 First United Presbyterian Church 102 North Main Street, Houston, PA Ordered Ministries On October 10, 2015, I was ordained as a Teaching Elder and a Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA). Quite a few of you made the trek into Pittsburgh to attend and participate in this service of worship. It was an amazing day and I want to thank each and every one of you for sharing that day with you and to the entire congregation of FUPC, Houston for calling me to serve as your interim pastor. I was ordained as a Teaching Elder because you folks called me! This ministry that you have called me to is categorized in the Book of Order as an ordered ministry: The Church s ordered ministries described in the New Testament and maintained by this church are deacons and presbyters (teaching elders and ruling elders). Ordered ministries are gifts to the church to order its life so that the ministry of the whole people of God may flourish. The existence of these ordered ministries in no way diminishes the importance of the commitment of all members to the total ministry of the church. (G ) I think the last sentence in that paragraph might be the most important it acknowledges that everyone plays a part in the total ministry of the church. Some of you have served as Ruling Elders or Deacons. Those jobs are defined in the Book of Order and that s partly why they re called ordered ministries. While these ordered ministries occupy the most visible positions in any congregation, their work rests on the foundation of an active and involved membership. The Book of Order doesn t define jobs like greeter or usher or Sunday school teacher, it doesn t explain who is responsible for serving meals at the church or who cleans up afterwards. Yet each and every one of those jobs is vitally important. Teaching Sunday school is a ministry. Watching babies in the nursery is a ministry. Visiting the sick and the shut-ins that is also a ministry and you don t have to be a Deacon to visit anyone. This is your congregation. Yes, I am here to teach you and to help lead you; I am here to serve you. In fact, there are only two things in the life of a congregation that may only be performed by an ordained Teaching Elder: the administration of the sacraments and moderating a session meeting. That s it. We are a ground-up organization, not a top-down organization. Leaders come from within the group and are elected by the group to make decisions. It s very democratic. I love that about the Presbyterian Church. So remember, all of you are ministers. You all have your own unique gifts and talents for ministry! Go forth and use those gifts! Talk to your friends and family; they may see gifts in you that you do not yet see! We are all called to serve, so talk to one another to discern your call!

2 THANKSGIVING DAY By: Margaret Cagle Near the end of November in the USA Is our national Thanksgiving Day. We close stores, schools, and banks And give to God our special thanks. It is a time for us to celebrate From coast to coast and state to state. We think of when the Pilgrims came To these shores in freedom s name. The first Thanksgiving was long ago This bit of history we all know. A time for thanking their God above Was set aside to show their love. When blessings came they had a feast They were not sorry in the least. For coming to this vast, barren land. For freedom to worship, they did stand. From that first Thanksgiving Day Until the present one we can say, Thank you, God, for blessings great! Your are the reason we celebrate!

The Love of the Lord is the Heartbeat of our Mission Pumpkin Festival A special thank you to everyone who participated in this year s Pumpkin Festival activities. The FUPC were the second place winners for their float in the annual parade thanks to Kristie and Dan Coppola and Ron and Emily Anestis. Thanks to all the cookie bakers who supplied sugar cookies for the decorating booth, to the youth that volunteered their time at the booth and to all the Presbyterian Pumpkin Patch workers. To everyone who participated in the special worship service, especially Karen Jones and the choir. The Deacon booth was a great success even though it rained the first day. Thanks to everyone who baked and donated all the delicious desserts for the Deacon s booth and to everyone who volunteered their time for such a great Deacon fundraiser to support their mission projects. It was all done in great fellowship and a very rewarding event. Page 6

9 DEACON UPDATE The Deacons have had another busy month and still continue to make plans for the months ahead. The big news, I guess, would be the Pumpkin Festival. Friday was a rainy day but the stalwart Deacons stayed their course and even made some sales even though a small river was flowing through the booth. Saturday and Sunday were much better days weather wise and sale wise. We did not have a lot of leftovers as far as food is concerned which is a good thing. In fact, things went so well we have already been discussing what we can do next year. This wasn t just a Deacon event. We couldn t have done as well as we did without the help of so many members of the congregation. From donations of food, drinks and supplies to volunteers manning the booth, everything went very well. We realized a profit of $ which we feel very good about especially since this was our first time participating. Thank you to all who donated, baked pies and baked goods, worked the booth, set up and took down the booth, etc. We couldn t have done it without everyone working together. The Deacons will sponsor another dine and donate on November 16 at Max and Erma s. Flyers will be provided and when you go to eat if you show the flyer our church will receive 20% of your bill. We will also have one in December at Buffalo Wild Wings. Keep watching your bulletins and newsletters for more information. The Deacons will be filling and delivering gift bags to our shut-ins for Thanksgiving. All Deacons should meet in Fellowship Hall following the worship service on November 22 to fill the bags. We are sponsoring a Girlfriends night on November 19. You can find more information in this newsletter. The last day to turn in Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes is December 8. Our Christmas Tea is coming up soon, on December 5. Look for more information in this newsletter. Tickets are $5.00 and we will begin at 2:00. Hanging of the Greens will be on November 28 at 10:00. Come and join us. Many hands make the work go faster. Lunch will be provided. You can have your blood pressure checked the second Sunday of the month in the Library by either Virginia Rockwell or Jami Craig. We continue to accept donations of cans and boxes of soup for the food pantry. Virginia Bayne will see that the soup is delivered. Jackie Shober has a new Rada catalog for you to check out. Many nice items for Christmas gifts and food for entertaining are included as well as the usual cutlery. Scrip orders are still being accepted by Janice Blosel. These also make good gifts especially for that hard to buy for person. I neglected to mention in our last newsletter that the Deacons served a dinner following the funeral service for Jude Pohl. We continue to pray for Shirley and her family. The next meeting of the Deacons will be on Tuesday, November 3, 2015 at 6:00pm. Blessings, Mindy Kelley, Moderator Page 9

Have fun shopping for a deserving child.
