Bower Hill News May 2016 ~Faith with a Personal Touch~ But now thus sayeth the Lord that created thee… “Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.” ~Isaiah 43:1 Dear Members and Friends, Stories from the world of commerce and business rarely capture my imagination, but I was surprised recently to read about some of the most successful companies in our country and world today. None of them are what you would have expected. When you think about taxi cabs—which we rarely do here in Pittsburgh—you probably think of a boxy yellow car doing 70 miles per hour in a 35 zone. I always assumed that the company “Yellow Cab” had a monopoly on the taxi trade in America. Yellow Cab is so successful that you might even think twice before getting into a red or a blue taxi. “Is this a real cab, or just a kidnapper with a blue sedan?” Even in third world countries, where Yellow Cab doesn't op- erate, all the independent taxi drivers paint their old rattle traps yellow—just to give them an air of respectability. (Sure, there used to be Checkered Cabs, too, but those have been gone for a long time.) And so, it was a surprise for me to learn that Yellow Cab is not nearly the biggest taxi company in America. Bigger by far is is “Uber”—a company that got started just seven years ago...and owns not a single car. They make their money by finding you rides in other peo- ple's private vehicles. If you asked me what company ranked as the biggest “accommodation provider” in America, I might have said Holiday Inn, or Motel 6, or Hampton Inn. But all of those answers would be wrong. The biggest accommodation pro- vider in America is a website called “Airbnb.” They don't own any real estate, not so much as the Bates Motel, not so much as a rustic little inn or a manger behind an inn. They make their money by finding places for you to sleep in other people's homes. And what do you do when you want to watch a Hollywood film? You could go to a movie theater, show up at the appointed time, stand in line, and get yelled at for putting your feet up on the back of the seat in front of you. But you're more likely to watch your movies via a company that won't sell you popcorn; “Netflix” only broadcasts movies into your home—where you can put your feet wherever you want. And the world's fastest growing bank, “SocietyOne,” doesn't own or lend any actual money. They turn a profit by matching private lenders with private borrowers. Just one more example: The two largest phone companies don't own any telephone lines or infrastructure. When you drive your car into a telephone pole, they don't send out the repairmen because these companies only exist online as “Skype” and “WeChat.” You get the point. At first glance, this seems like a lesson in how the Internet has revolutionized contemporary life. But what do most of these things have in common? Well...they're all innovative; they bring people together to meet each other's needs, and they let people stay as much as possible in the comfort of their homes. It seems that people are less likely than they once were to put their faith in big, monolithic institutions. They'd rather experience the personal touch: a ride to the airport in a stranger's private car, a night in a stranger's guest room. All of these unexpected success stories remind me of the cardinal rule of preaching—the one that I learned in seminary but never obeyed: Don't talk about yourself in sermons. “It's rude to talk about yourself,” the professors said. “Congregations don't care about you; they want to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, plain and simple.” And yet, I think that venerable old rule—though a good guideline to keep in mind—is outdated for all the same reasons that Uber and Airbnb have swept their markets: modern people are longing for the human touch. In a world that makes us feel un- known, we're looking less for name brand professionalism and more for those things that make us feel connected to other people. This begs the question: How can you, a regular church member, use your personal connections to share the beauty and the power of faith with friends and neighbors who may not respond to religious institutions and religious pro- fessionals?

~Faith with a Personal Touch~
But now thus sayeth the Lord that created thee…
“Fear not: for I have redeemed thee,
I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.”
~Isaiah 43:1
Dear Members and Friends,
Stories from the world of commerce and business rarely capture my imagination, but I was surprised recently to read about some of the most successful companies in our country and world today. None of them are what you would have expected.
When you think about taxi cabs—which we rarely do here in Pittsburgh—you probably think of a boxy yellow car doing 70 miles per hour in a 35 zone. I always assumed that the company “Yellow Cab” had a monopoly on the taxi trade in America. Yellow Cab is so successful that you might even think twice before getting into a red or a blue taxi. “Is this a real cab, or just a kidnapper with a blue sedan?” Even in third world countries, where Yellow Cab doesn't op-erate, all the independent taxi drivers paint their old rattle traps yellow—just to give them an air of respectability. (Sure, there used to be Checkered Cabs, too, but those have been gone for a long time.) And so, it was a surprise for me to learn that Yellow Cab is not nearly the biggest taxi company in America. Bigger by far is is “Uber”—a company that got started just seven years ago...and owns not a single car. They make their money by finding you rides in other peo-ple's private vehicles.
If you asked me what company ranked as the biggest “accommodation provider” in America, I might have said Holiday Inn, or Motel 6, or Hampton Inn. But all of those answers would be wrong. The biggest accommodation pro-vider in America is a website called “Airbnb.” They don't own any real estate, not so much as the Bates Motel, not so much as a rustic little inn or a manger behind an inn. They make their money by finding places for you to sleep in other people's homes.
And what do you do when you want to watch a Hollywood film? You could go to a movie theater, show up at the appointed time, stand in line, and get yelled at for putting your feet up on the back of the seat in front of you. But you're more likely to watch your movies via a company that won't sell you popcorn; “Netflix” only broadcasts movies into your home—where you can put your feet wherever you want.

Greetings from our BHCC Interns
As the summer quickly approaches, we at Crestfield are getting ready for our summer and VBS Day Camp and Mission Possible weeks. In the meantime, we are enjoying the weather. At last month’s Eat and Meet at Bower Hill, the focus was on prayer. Both of us did the lesson on five parts of prayer. We made sure to let them know that this isn’t the know-all, say-all to praying, but it helps to be a little more orga-nized with your thoughts. A game was played where we threw a tennis ball to each other saying things that we were thankful for. A little after starting this game, we slowly began to add more and more tennis balls into the circle. Before we knew it, there was organized chaos, which can be a good thing. After some time, the tennis balls were called back. Once they were gathered, I said, “congratulations! You all just prayed!” It was awesome to see their eyes light up in an awe moment, and in an “I’m confused” moment. We then played a favorite game of sardines, which resulted in the best hiding spot that left us searching for more than 15 minutes. On May 15, the Bower Hill kids will visit Crestfield for the last Eat and Meet before summer. A lot of fun activi-ties are planned which will tie in the prayer theme that began last month. There is something spiritual about being in na-ture listening to the sounds and having all the different smells of spring that a lot of kids don’t get to enjoy. We are eager-ly awaiting that. We are having a lot of fun watching the children learn and create during our time together each Sunday during worship.
Sincerely,
Tyler Musher & Jeremiah Wagner

Flea Market Results
Once again, because of the members of Bower Hill who donated items, the bakers and soup makers who made goodies for the snack bar, and all the
volunteers who helped with pricing, carrying down the boxes from the loft (shout out to the Boy Scouts for this one), setting up, and helping out on sale day, the Spring Flea Market was a success! Despite the bad weather report, thus having a smaller crowd than usual, we still made just under $2,800.
After the sale, we put some items aside for Family Promise and packed up a couple of carloads for chari-ties such as Goodwill. The rest went back upstairs for the Fall Flea Market.
As you’re patting yourself on the back for a job well done (and you truly should be), remember that the flea market not only makes some extra money for our church, but it also provides a service to the community. Many people make a living buying items at flea mar-kets and then reselling them online or at other sales. Other customers may be having a rough time and truly need a good bargain.
Thanks for all that you do. See you in November!

Sandi’s Garden
Last year, Sandi’s Garden produced over 450 pounds of fresh, organic produce. BHCC is once again par-ticipating in SHIM’s efforts to provide fresh, organic produce to the families who participate in its Food Pantry. Sandi’s Garden provides opportunities for all members of the congregation to participate.
Members can help make this year even more successful than last year by:
Donating seed packets of swiss chard, bush beans, pole beans, sweet and hot peppers, zucchini, and winter squash.
Donating sweet and hot pepper plants.
Donating regular or Thai basil plants. Fresh herbs are always welcome at the Food Pantry.
Signing up to water the garden beds for a week.
Helping with harvesting produce.
Volunteering to deliver the produce on Monday mornings. Donated seed packets and plants can be placed in the mini greenhouse between the narthex and the Friendship Room. We are blessed to be part of a congregation that is committed to the call to serve others in so many ways. Sandi’s Gar-den provides an opportunity to enjoy the long-awaited warm and sunny days of spring and summer knowing that our little plot of land is part of a wonderful mission. Many thanks to all who have been part of this mission project in the past and who continue to support it.
