1 FOR THE JOURNEY June, Vol. 23, No. 6 HOPE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved. Acts 2:46-47 This Robbservations: Real Joy is Contagious! Article is inspired in part by the Chewbacca Mask Lady. If you don t know who that is please take a moment and Google that term and watch the viral video that has made a Texas mom, Candace Payne, a household name. On May 19, the 37 year old mother of two uploaded a video of herself in her car having just purchased a Star Wars Chewbacca mask at a Kohl s store as a birthday present to herself. She put the mask on and then began to laugh uncontrollably at the sound effects and her own reflection in her dashboard selfie video. You can t watch the four minute video without at least breaking a smile and very likely laughing out loud yourself. Seriously, if you haven t seen it, pause right now and do so. The video smashed Facebook video records, racking up over 50 million views in the first 24 hours it was up. As of this writing it s up to around 145 Million! Stores selling Chewbacca masks are now sold out, everywhere. Candace Payne from Texas has now appeared on Good Morning America as well as other shows and has become a viral video star, all because she let a little genuine joy show. The Chewbacca Mask Lady is a Jesus-follower as she revealed in one online Christian publication that her joy comes from The Lord. She has a background in Musical Theater from a Christian college and is a worship leader at her church. There s nothing in the video that would necessarily reveal that, but you don t have to dig very far to learn it. We don t know Candace s entire story but besides being part of a churched family we ve learned that her husband of fifteen years is a sober drug addict in recovery and they have two young children that are their pride and joy. Candace is joy-filled because she has faith and gratitude in this world. And it s compelling to want to know more, to want to have that kind of joy for ourselves. Countless numbers of people are now flocking to get their hands on the toy Chewbacca mask, not realizing that the joy that Candace expressed in her video was already in her heart before she ever put on the mask. It s a joy that is real, lasting and a free gift from God who loves us all. I think the Chewbacca Mask Lady just schooled all of us in something essential when it comes to being Church. I can t help but imagine that this is what it must have been
2 like for the Church s beginnings that we learn about in that beautiful little snippet from Acts, chapter 2 where Peter and the others began letting their joy show and it became the foundation of a community that touched and saved souls. Just before the scripture quote I offer above we learn that the church grew by 3,000 people on day one! When the joy was flowing and they showed glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved. The beginning of our story is one of the Church going viral! When the Holy Spirit came into the lives of those first believers they took courage and let their joy show and people couldn t help but be drawn to it. The Good News of Jesus resurrection and the presence and power of God s Spirit got shared thousands of times over until just about everyone had heard something about it. Day by day, the number grew. For my fellow Star Wars fans out there and for all of us I compel you to remember that you have that power too. The same Spirit that birthed the Church we have inherited today is the same Spirit who brought contagious laughter to millions over the past few days through a bubbly Texas mom who allowed her witness to come through a goofy toy Chewbacca mask. Indeed, The Lord works in mysterious ways, but we all know it when we see it! What do people see when they look at you? Are you letting your joy come through in some way? I think Candace s story is evidence that it doesn t take much. At the end of her video Candace wisely observes, It s the simple joys! It just takes a little courage to let God show you what God has done and to allow that gratitude turn into genuine joy. And after that you ve got to let it out! Smile more. Share your story. Laugh! Invite others to find what you have found. Break bread with glad and generous hearts. Tell others they can know this joy as well and it has nothing to do with the many kinds of masks this world tricks us into wearing. It s about the true, holy, beautiful, abundant-life-giving Spirit of Jesus that we can all invite into our hearts each day. We simply aren t being the Church if we fail to share joy. As Candace says right at the start of her video, I m really excited to share with you something I got! That attitude is the key to the whole idea and experience of Church! And as she exclaims near the end, That is the best present ever to myself! Y all have a blessed day. I ll take that benediction, and I ll do my best to share the simple joys that save the world. How about you? Pentecost Joy to You, Pastor Robb Summer Worship Schedule Begins May 29th at 9:30 a.m.

Have you filled out your participant registration form yet and turned it in at your church? No? Why not? It's only one day of spreading God's love to YOUR community. It's one day of being a great neighbor. It's one day of helping the homeless. It's one day of following the book of Acts (Come on! You don't know what that means? Read the book of Acts in the Bible. It's after the Gospel of John). It's only one day! One day on June 25th. One day that starts with breakfast at Chapel Heights UMC in Eau Claire at 8am. One day of blessing your neighbors in need and sweating a little bit. One day of packing up shoes for Sole4Souls that you have donated at your local churches. One day of helping to create a green space for Altoona. One day of spreading the love of reading to some awesome communities. One day with a fellowship supper at Altoona UMC at 5pm. It's just one day that could lead you down the path to two days of helping your neighbor, then to three days, four days, five days... Blessings, Michelle Stoffel
