1 The View APRIL 2018 Volume XV Issue IV Growing in Song Concert First Presbyterian Church 147 N. Main St. Cleveland, GA Pastor: Rev. Dr. Gary Bagley Office: Prayer Request Website: INSIDE THIS ISSUE Pastor Page 2 Concert Continued 3 By Melody Thomason Good food, good fellowship and REAL GOOD MUSIC happened at our First Annual Growing In Song Concert, Saturday night, March 17 th. Lara and Joel Potter entertained with original and traditional songs using piano, guitar, drum and voice. After an intermission consisting of some awesome desserts and coffee came our Bluegrass group, Sweet Tea and the Bluegrass Boys. This family quartet consists of Jackson, Callie, Savannah and Parker Cantrell (relatives of Linda Watkins and Dewayne Nix and special friend of Adele Page). These 4 siblings ranging in age from 17 to 23 entertained us with their banjo, guitar, bass fiddle and fiddle. They played and sang traditional Bluegrass, toe tapping music for our enjoyment. It was a fun evening for all and on top of that we raised over $ to benefit The Growing Place Preschool. A huge thank you to our two groups who donated their time and talents to this worthy cause. Also thanks to those who fixed desserts, showed up to support the event or helped in any way to make the evening a success.

2 2 Rev. Dr. Gary Bagley A t the end of Luke s fifth chapter, Jesus speaks of change and transitions. He uses two short parables or metaphors. One is about patching a garment and the importance of matching cloths being joined. The second metaphor is that of wine and wineskins pouring new wine into new wineskins and old wine into old wineskins or else trouble will ensue. The time in-between installed pastors is a time of transition. Dr. Leslie Robinson of the Center for Congregational Health in Wake Forest, North Carolina says: The most anxious congregations in the world are interim congregations. This time of transition is one for questions and self-reflection. Who are we? What has our journey been like in the past? Where are we now? What is the mission, ministry, and challenge before us? Who are we being called to be in the early 21 st century (as distinct from what other churches are being called to be in their own unique places on earth)? Below is FPC s Transitional Timeline thus far and in the projected future: August 20, 2017: Resignation of the Rev. Andy Chambers as pastor with last Sunday being October 1 Early October: Presbyter Exec, Rev. Hilary Shuford met with FPC Session November 15, 2017: Rev.

PENTECOST May 20, 2018 From Becky Clark Centuries ago in the 4 th century, it was determined by a council of Christian bishops that Easter Day would always be on a Sunday to commemorate the joyous occasion of Jesus resurrection. The date varies each year, but it falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the March equinox which usually occurs around March 20. (Aren t you glad someone else figures this out for you?) It cannot come before March 22 or after April 25. According to scripture, before Jesus was crucified, he promised his disciples that he would send a comforter to be with them always. (John 14:16). Forty days after Jesus was resurrected and 10 days after he ascended into heaven, that promise was fulfilled when Peter and the followers of Jesus were in Jerusalem for the Jewish holiday, Pentecost. Originally Pentecost was celebrated 50 days after Passover as a Thanksgiving feast for the harvest. To Christians it represents the arrival of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Christian Church. This year, Pentecost will be celebrated on May 20 th. There are 4 colors for the liturgical calendar for the Christian year. On Pentecost, the paraments are changed from white to red for one day. Afterwards the color changes to green until Advent season begins.

8 8 TRAINING SESSION There will be a Training Session for Greeters and Ushers on Sunday, April 8 th, at 9:30 a.m. All persons who would like to serve as Usher or Greeter are asked to attend. This will be a short refresher course for experienced people, and a chance to help new volunteers feel more comfortable serving. By Lindalee Walters The Lunch Bunch at Unicoi lodge. Mary Smith honors her father and family members with a beautiful flower arrangement. We had a buffet lunch and inspected the zip line course. By Lindalee Walters By Jean Kelly The ThingsI Learned insunday School The Legend of the Easter Egg As children joyfully participate in Easter Egg hunts and open baskets of sweets and toys left by the Easter Bunny on Easter morning, they may not be aware of the history and tradition associated with colored Easter Eggs. Although eggs, in general, were a traditional symbol of fertility and rebirth in Christianity, for the celebration of Eastertide, the hard shell of the Easter egg symbolized the sealed Tomb of Christ the cracking of which symbolized his resurrection from the dead. In addition, one ancient tradition was the staining of Easter eggs with the color red "in memory of the blood of Christ shed at the time of his crucifixion. This custom of the Easter egg can be traced to early Christians of Mesopotamia, and from there it spread into Russia and Siberia through the Orthodox Churches, and later into Europe through the Catholic and Protestant Churches. (According to some sources, the Easter bunny first arrived in America in the 1700s with German immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania and transported their tradition of an egg-laying hare called Osterhase or Oschter Haws ). Note: Wikipedia was the source of much of this background information. By Jean Kelly
