1 November/December 2017 Evangelical United Methodist Church Keeping in Touch This is a fun & informative newsletter for all of our retirees & friends here at Evangelical Church! Included is church news & upcoming events, interesting articles found just for you, and some fun stuff mixed in! Let us know if there is something you d like included and we ll do our best! New Small Group Bible Study to Begin Sign Up Now for Christmas Is Not Your Birthday Bible Study Every year, we say we re going to cut back, simplify, and have a family Christmas that focuses on the real reason for the season Jesus. But every year, advertisements begin, the children plead and it seems easier just to indulge our wants and whims. Overspending, overeating, materialism, and busyness rob us of our peace and joy and rob Jesus of his rightful role as the center of our celebration. This Christmas, cut through the hype that leaves you exhausted and broke at the end of the year. Instead, experience the peace of knowing that God is truly with us, the joy of giving sacrificially, and the love of a Savior who gave everything he had for us. In five short, engaging chapters, Pastor Mike Slaughter inspires readers to approach Christmas differently, and be transformed in the process. You are invited to be a part of one of 4 different small groups that will be meeting, starting on Sunday, November 26: - Sundays at 9:30a led by Adam Drummond - Sundays at 11:45a led by the Laatschs - Wednesdays at 5:30p led by Marti Lundy - Saturdays at 8:00a led by Mark Swing Each study book is $5.00. Please call the church office to sign up or fill out the bulletin insert on Sunday morning and place in the offering plate or bring to the office. Decorating for Christmas Everyone is invited to stay after church on Sunday, November 26 to decorate the church building for Christmas. Meet in Common Grounds where lunch will be provided before we start. Service Time Reminder There will be just ONE service in the morning on Sunday, December 24 at 9:30.

6 Sharing a Legacy of Love Compromise, if not the spice of life, is its solidity. It is what makes nations great and marriages happy. - Phyllis McGinley When my mother died at the age of eightyfour, my four sisters and I were heartbroken. How could we ever get over the loss of this warm and loving woman, a talented artist who enjoyed life in spite of its challenges and always doted on her husband, daughters and grandchildren? For weeks after, my sisters and I would meet for dinner, laughing and crying over old memories. When it came time to sell the home my mother loved, we spent many days in disbelief, clearing out her belongings. I remembered reading an Ann Landers column years earlier that discussed how many siblings fight bitterly over the possessions left by their deceased parents. I thought, How lucky we are that will never happen to us. Somehow, we easily and peacefully divided Mom s belongings furniture, jewelry and household items among ourselves and a few charities. Although I expected there might be a tug-of-war over her paintings, that never happened. Pretty good considering there were five daughters and four grandchildren. No conflicts, squabbles or disputes at all. Until we discovered the old nativity set in a box in Mom s closet. I remembered Mom telling the story of how she acquired the manger. An old friend who did carpentry work gave it to my mom and dad as a Christmas gift when they were first married. My sister, Eileen, however, remembers it differently. Mom told her she found the crèche in a garbage can belonging to Mrs. Bingham, the elderly lady who lived across the street from us. Unlike some of the ornate versions found in today s stores, this manger was crafted from dark wood and completely unadorned just a roof, a floor and a railing surrounding it. Though beautifully crafted, there was one flaw: one side of the double gate in front was lopsided. Mom filled it with three figurines to start Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus. For many years after, she continued to add others the Wise Men, shepherds, angels, and animals. As kids, we loved the annual rites of the Christmas season, especially taking the nativity set and decorations down from the attic and carefully putting them in place. When the sisters all married and grandchildren came along, they added new characters of their own to the stable, including a set of the three little pigs. After Mom s death, when the nativity set emerged, no one was prepared for the battle that would follow. My sister Joanne was the first to claim the manger, insisting it was the only on of Mom s possessions that she really wanted. Her wish was granted. But when my niece Mandy found out, she called from her apartment in California to voice her objection. She was clearly emotional as she repeated a decades-old promise made to her by my mother: Nanny promised me that I could have the nativity set when she was gone, she cried. The nativity set belongs to me. Joanne felt strongly that as Mom s daughter, she had first dibs. Neither she nor Mandy would budge. When the disagreement showed signs of becoming a full-blown family feud, we realized something had to be done. Enter the family arbitrator, my sister Eileen, who somehow saw through the fog. But as Mandy s mother and Joanne s sister, could Eileen handle this dilemma fairly? Temporarily, she set aside the emotion of the dispute, and thought logically. The nativity set was just a wooden stable, not an irreplaceable masterpiece of art. The beauty was in the eye of the beholders, the perception of two people who coveted a simple item owned by someone they loved. Couldn t a copy be created? Of course! She would order the wood from the lumberyard and get someone to build a second manger. The following day, Eileen went to Centre Millwork and stood in line behind several contractors ordering lumber from a young man. He was wearing a tag with his name, Brett, written on it. It was her turn. She pointed to the nativity set in her arms and told him the story. Brett took the stable from her, held it up with one hand and laughed, They re fighting over this?

7 From the Church Mailbox Thank You**Thank You**Thank You! Bob and Jean Straight want to thank everyone who brought food to their home while Jean was not feeling well. It was delicious and greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! Relay for Life is the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. The money raised through Relay for Life events helps realize the American Cancer Society s mission: to save lives and celebrate life. Every day. Donations are used to fun lifesaving cancer research, patient support programs, prevention information and education, and detection and treatment programs. Fundraising isn t all we do but everything we do depends on it. Thank you for your support of Relay For Life. Because of your generosity and the support of many other businesses in the Huntington community, we surpassed our goal of $50,000 for Huntington County Relay For Life Mark and Vickie Kiefer, Huntington County Relay For Life Event Leaders 2017 (continued from page 6) Yes, Eileen explained. I know it seems crazy, but it was my mother s and they both loved her very much. Is there any way you could measure and cut some wood so we could have a duplicate built? Brett said, Leave it here. I ll see what I can do. Eileen left hoping he could come up with a minor miracle. That s what it would take. A few days later, she received a phone message saying that her order was ready. When Eileen arrived at the hardware store to pick up the wood, she couldn t believe was she say two identical stables sitting side by side. Brett had not only cut and measured the wood, he had built a second manger. I know you wanted them to look the same, so I added a couple of dings and flaws that were in the original. Hope that s okay. Sure enough, the new stable had the same lopsided front gate. Okay? Eileen said in tears. You have no idea what this will mean to my sister and my daughter. To the entire family. I don t care what this costs. Your work has saved the day. That will be $3.75 for the materials, Brett said. When Eileen insisted on paying him more, he said, I didn t do it on company time. I built it at home so I won t charge you for the labor. He pointed to the new manger. I hope this helps your family have a merrier Christmas. Eileen left Brett with a large tip and a big hug of thanks. When she got home and called Joanne and Mandy about her creative solution, they were very happy and extremely relieved that the problem was resolved. One phone call later, Joanne and Mandy had agreed that Joanne would take possession of the new stable as well as some of the old figurines including Mary, Joseph and the infant. Mandy would get to keep the original just as Nanny promised. Kathy Melia Levine (from Chicken Soup for the Soul Publishing, LLC 2013)

Transfer to foil-lined baking sheet, in a single layer, without overcrowding the pieces. Roast about 40 minutes, rotating pan midway during baking. When edges are browned and cubes are forktender, remove from oven immediately. You may want to start checking squash around 35 minutes, just to ensure that they don't become overcooked.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, ginger, Holiday Goodies cinnamon and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Make a well in the center. Stir in the yogurt, maple syrup, 2 Tbsp. milk, molasses, and vanilla. Fold in 1 1/2 Tbsp. of chocolate chips. 3. Shape the dough into a 3/4 tall circle on the baking sheet, and brush with the remaining milk. Slice the circle into 8 triangular segments with a sharp knife. Gently press the remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake at 425 degrees for minutes until lightly golden. Cool 5 minutes and transfer to a wire rack. Corn Casserole - a holiday favorite! 2 cans whole-kernel corn, drained 1 can cream-style corn 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix 1 c. sour cream 1 stick (1/2 c.) butter or margarine, melted In a large bowl, mix all together. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan for 45 min. at 350 degrees. May be sprinkled with shredded cheddar cheese after baking. Return to the oven for approx. 5 min. to melt. Cranberry Christmas Cake 3 eggs 2 c. sugar 3/4 c. butter, softened 1 tsp. vanilla 2 c. flour 12 oz. fresh cranberries Beat the eggs and sugar 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. The mixture should almost double in size. Don t skip this step. Add the butter and vanilla and beat 2 more minutes. Stir in the flour until just combined. Add the cranberries and stir throughout. Spread in a buttered 9x13 pan for minutes until lightly browned. Cool completely and cut into squares. Would be pretty sprinkled with powdered sugar!
