1 THE MESSENGER SEPTEMBER 2016 Prayer: Loving God, sometimes a new school year seems exciting or scary or both. Sometimes school is great, and sometimes it is hard. But we know that whether we are excited or scared, you are with us. We know that whether school is great or hard, you are with us. We thank you for always being with us. Help us to remember to show our thanks for your gift of learning by doing our best every day. Amen. A Message from our Pastor; I m am grateful for your prayers, cards, messages, love and support in the days following my brother s death. James was the youngest of the four siblings and the only boy. Because it was a fatal heart attack we had no warning or preparation for his death. Yet, in the midst of heartache and sorrow God provides and God has used you to help sustain and strengthen me in this time. You sent the most beautiful arrangement of flowers that graced the front of the room as we remembered, cried, laughed, celebrated, questioned and thanked God for Jim s life. His two young adult children handled their burden with dignity; he would have been very proud of them. A week has passed and I m back on the job but there is still as sense of confusion and, at the same time, a reaffirmation of life. I find myself wondering, did that really happen? and wishing it was all just a bad dream. But I am also reminded that life is a gift from God and we don t know how long we will have it. We only know that today is the day we ve been given to live fully and abundantly. (John 10:10) I have once again reaffirmed my commitment to live and appreciate each day. Mind you, it s not that I haven t had my own heated conversations with God over the past week. There is no purpose or greater good to Jim s death. I d like to know why but sometimes there is no reason why. It just is. And in the end I once again reaffirm my faith in a God who does not cause death but encourages us to help and support each other through the pain and grief. Thank you for the way you have done that for me. You are truly a blessing. Peace, 486 TOWNLINE ROAD, COMMACK, NEW YORK (631)
2 Prayer: Loving God, today, we are being called to move out of our comfort zone and confront persecution wherever we find it in our families, communities and churches as well as the world. Give us the strength and courage to do what we can to work with others who are hurting, and encourage those who are persecuted so that they can sustain a good life. Let us be a blessing to them and show your love through our actions. Amen SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAYS 7 Jim Medina 10 Jackie Mallgraf 16 Penny White 17 Vinoo Doss 17 Sarah Stellmann 18 Andy Lauri 18 Mary Lauri 21 Sarah Mackay 28 Atis Stepe Joan Kopping Pat Ross Steven Waidelich FAIR WORKSHOP: We continue to meet every Tuesday morning 10-1 in room 9 of the Education Bldg., creating for our annual Fall Fair.

The program for our September 8 th meeting is titled Being a Blessing to the Persecuted. and will be presented by Matilda Gollatz and Tracey Kopping. As we meditate and read several instances of persecution, it is time for us to look within ourselves for some answers and to reflect on the situations of people both near and far who suffer persecution. Karen Mallgraf will be hostess for the evening. Joan Ford and Debbie Stellmann received their long awaited UMW Special Membership Pins, for their work with UMW mission projects, at home and abroad.

5 HISTORIAN S CORNER Submitted by John Muller, Church Historian Part II On the 30th of June, 1776, a British fleet of 130 ships landed an army of 10,000 on Staten Island, commanding New York harbor. By August 1st, the army had grown to 31,000 seasoned troops. The American army of only 28,000, both poorly trained and inadequately equipped, had prepared defensive positions in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the nearby Jersey shore. In early August the Suffolk County Militia, let by Liertenant Colonel Potter and Major Brush and carrying the Huntington Liberty Flag, mustered on the Village Green, drew an issue of gunpowder from the Arsenal (Job Sammis House) at its southern end, and marched to Brooklyn to augment the Continental Army. Upon their arrival their ranks were divided. About 100 men, under Potter and Brush, were assigned to General Nathaniel Woodhull (of Mastic) and the remainder, under Colonel Josiah Smith of East Moriches were placed in the defensive lines. Woodhull, who had served as President of the Provincial Convention, was given the rather strange assignment of driving beef cattle eastward to prevent their falling in to the hands of the British if and when they attacked. Early on the morning of August 22nd, 15,000 British and Hessian soldiers and 40 pieces of artillery were landed on Long Island. The Battle of Long Island was fought from the 22nd to the 29th of August, 1776, resulting in a defeat for the Americans who effected a miraculous escape across the East River to Manhattan. On August 27th General Woodhull ordered Major Brush and the 100 militiamen to proceed eastward from Jamaica driving cattle before them. However, upon learning of the disastrous results of the battle, and after consultation with higher authorities, Brush dispersed the men under his command advising them to return home. Brush himself quickly left Long Island, presumably in a boat across the Sound to the Westchester shore, where he joined the 2nd Regiment of Westchester County Militia, commanded by Colonel Thomas Thomas. Brush proceeded to make numerous excursions across to Long Island for the duration of the war. Correspondence and newspaper accounts testify to Major Brush s leadership of raiding parties in November 1778, March 1779, and June 1779, although he was undoubtedly active on other occasions. As a consequence of leaving Huntington and taking up arms with the Rebel Army, Major Brush s farm at West Neck was seized and assigned to a Loyalist (Tory) family. Brush wrote a note to the intruders as follows: August 25, 1780 I have repeatedly ordered you, especially April 15th, to leave my farm. This is my last invitation. If you do not, your next landfall will be in a warmer climate than any you have ever lived in yet. Twenty days you have to make your escape. Jesse Brush During the latter half of September, 1780, Major Brush was dispatched on a secret mission by Gov. George Clinton to raise loans of money form patriots living in Huntington and western Suffolk County. Commanding a group of seven other soldiers, Brush successfully crossed Long Island Sound and spent three weeks passing from town to town calling upon known patriots. Although active mostly at nighttime, they also ventured out in broad daylight, using assumed names, various disguises and pretended business transactions. Unfortunately, just at the conclusion of their mission as they sought to escape back across the Sound, their whaleboat was driven ashore by a violent storm. This landing having been observed, they were attacked by a group of armed loyalists who immediately killed Lieutenant Alexander Ketcham of Brush s command in a volley of musket-fire. Brush ordered two of his troop to take the funds raised and escape while the remainder held off the attack. Brush and his party were all captured, but were successful in covering the escape of Lieutenants Williams and Legget who returned to the American lines with the valuable currency. Brush and his companions were held in the Provost prison in New York City. Although no record has been found concerning the date and circumstances of his release, it is known that by June 1781 Brush had returned to his duties in the Westchester County Militia. Little is known of Major Brush from the close of the Revolutionary War until his death on July 12, He is buried in the Old Burying Ground in Huntington. Excerpted from an essay by Reginald Metcalf, Sr., genealogy.com, and longislandsurnames.com. More information can be found through the Huntington Historical Society.

7 KIDS IN CHURCH One particular four-year-old prayed, And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets. A little boy was overheard praying: Lord, if you can t make me a better boy, don t worry about it. I m having a real good time like I am. 3-year-old Reese: Our Father, Who does art in heaven, Harold is His name. Amen. After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong.
