1 Foster Memorial Church, UCC 1791 Wilbraham Road Springfield, Massachusetts Office Telephone (413) Pastor s Study (413) Office Hours: Tues., Wed., & Fri., 9a.m.-1p.m. fostermemorial@msn.com Web: Facebook: Foster Memorial Church Minister: Rev. Barbara Schenk Choir Director & Organist: Frank Jackson Administrative Assistant: Erika Davila Childcare: Eneidamarie Gonzalez WE ARE AN OPEN AND AFFIRMING CHURCH ALL ARE WELCOME! We are a joyful, welcoming, inclusive, and supportive community of Christ followers, eager to shine God's love by connecting people through partnerships and service that foster peace and hope in our neighborhood, wider community and world. Dear friends, FOSTER MEMORIAL CHURCH, UCC THE CHRONICLE January 2019 Christmas does not end on Christmas Day; the season of Christmas; it continues for a total of twelve days. On Sunday January 6, we will celebrate Epiphany Sunday, with our focus on the visit to the Christ Child by wise ones/magi from the East and the manifestation of God in Christ revealed for the first time to people beyond Israel. The season of Epiphany, season of Light, continues until the season of Lent begins on March 6. As the Wise Ones followed the special star in the distance so long ago, we too can continue to seek out the light of God, in Jesus, a light we so need in the midst of all that is going on in our world today. Blessings of Light and Peace, Barbara God is still speaking The deadline for submitting articles or announcements for The October issue of The Chronicle is January 16, 2019 Dear friends, We were so surprised by your generous gift given to us in worship on December 16. Keith has booked his flight to see his dear sister in England and we are putting the rest of the gift to good use. Our hearts are so grateful. It was unexpected and very, very much appreciated. Thank you and Bless you. Pastor Barbara and Keith Walker
2 PROPOSED JUST PEACE DECLARATION AND JUST PEACE CHURCH: Below is our Proposed Just Peace Declaration, created by our Just Peace team. It was first printed in the bulletin on December 9, when the Rev. Dr. Bob Loesch offered a Just Peace Moment during worship. We are going to have a brief informational meeting about this after worship on January 6. We will be taking a vote on the Declaration as well as becoming a Just Peace church at our annual meeting on January 27. Proposed Just Peace Declaration Micah 6:8 God has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Isaiah 58 Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Luke 4 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because God has anointed me to bring good news to the poor and has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord s favor. We are called to spread the good news of God s Shalom throughout the world and to usher in the realm of God which is built on the foundation of justice and peace. Therefore, we, the people of Foster Memorial Church, declare our commitment to be a justice-doing and peace-seeking community: by continuing our outreach ministries to feed the hungry, care for the sick, and clothe and house the poor; and by committing ourselves to identify and change the systemic issues that cause the need for such ministries to exist. May God grant us the wisdom, strength and courage to follow in the ways of our Savior, Jesus, in the struggle for justice and peace.

5 PLEDGES FOR 2019 Thank you to everyone who has made a financial pledge for the year to come. Thank you to Alice Kempf and Bob Loesch for offering Stewardship Moments during worship. Every pledge is greatly appreciated. If you need a pledge card, please call the office at or pick up a Stewardship Letter and pledge card in the narthex on Sunday morning.

Can we do it again?? REBECCA JOHNSON SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP Through your generosity, nearly twenty new or gently used winter coats, along with some hats were donated to the Rebecca Johnson School for children in need. The Christian Education Board also voted to spend $200 from the Rebecca Johnson Partnership fund (receipts from our Shrove Sunday Pancake Luncheon). Michelle Norman, the school/family liaison, along with the school s new principal were most appreciated of our continuing support of their children. Thank you to all who made contributions. Joanne Wells, Dick Pond and Pastor Barbara met with the new principal of the school, Mr. Chris Sutton on December 10. We had a wonderful meeting and together came up with new ideas for how our church can be of help to the students and staff: stay tuned for more information! GOD TIME- JANUARY 13 th -MARCH 3 rd The theme for Unit 4 focuses upon how, when we respond to God s call in our lives, we become an Epiphany manifesting through our lives, the presence and power of God s Spirit at work in the world. The lessons in unit 4 ask questions about, and explore, different ways in which people have experienced and responded to God s call. How do we know what God calls us to be and do? What does it mean to follow Jesus? CHRISTMAS FUN WORKSHOP The CE Board thanks Lori Lataille and all her helpers who volunteered their time and talents to lead over 50 attendees in the construction of advent crafts. A luncheon was provided for all those in attendance. LOOKING FURTHER AHEAD: SHROVE SUNDAY We will celebrate Shrove Sunday, the Sunday before Lent on Sunday, March 3, with a Pancake Brunch after worship. Proceeds will go to help fund our outreach projects with our partner school, Rebecca Johnson. Page 8 Page 5
