Reflections

God Wants Us to Be Happy – Why Is It We Don’t Cooperate?

10

The lover of money will not be satisfied with money; nor the lover of wealth, with gain. This

also is vanity.

11

When goods increase, those who eat them increase; and what gain has their owner but to see

them with his eyes?

18

This is what I have seen to be good: it is fitting to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the

toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of the life God gives us; for this is our

lot. 19

Likewise all to whom God gives wealth and possessions and whom he enables to enjoy

them, and to accept their lot and find enjoyment in their toil—this is the gift of God. 20

For they

will scarcely brood over the days of their lives, because God keeps them occupied with the joy of

their hearts.

Ecclesiastes 5:10-11, 18-20

As we line up our sacred cows, money takes a spot near the head of the line. We tend to think that more

money will bring us more happiness, at least that’s the basis for the sale of lottery tickets. The message

from Ecclesiastes is that more money is never satisfying, and that when we get more, we want more. Of

course our immediate thought is: “That may be true but I would really like a chance to test the idea –

God let me prove it to you that winning the lottery would not spoil me.” On the other hand, if more money

hasn’t created more happiness for 3,000 years, it’s probably not going to work now.

So, how do we get to where we can take enjoyment in all of our “toil” and our eat and drink? This is

where gratitude becomes central to our health and happiness. Pausing, before enjoying our food and

drink, is one of the most important disciplines we can practice in terms of improving our quality of life.

When we consume without thinking, we are not going to be satisfied. When we sit down in front of the

television with a bag of chips, the chips tend to mysteriously and mindlessly disappear. When we rush

through a meal, focusing on other things, without taking time to taste and enjoy the meal, we aren’t

really fed emotionally. Gratitude is the practice of being mindful of the blessings that we are enjoying,

even if the blessing is to be sitting, doing nothing. Because there are a lot worse things than sitting com-

fortably, even if we are bored.

Taking time to be grateful for our comfort and peace keeps us from a constant state of want and dissat-

isfaction.

Gratitude needs to take place as a part of our spiritual practices, meaning that it shapes our relation-

ships with God, with all of the world around us, and with the people near us. Gratitude is not just one

“thing we do.” It has to be woven into our lives with planning and focus. Pausing frequently during the

day, taking five minutes out of each hour to consider the blessings we have received can radically

change our attitude and perceptions of the world around us. Making sure to observe kindness, and to

recognize the positive things in the world, enables us to be empowered and strengthened to use our

gifts and abilities where they can make a difference. By becoming disciplined in gratitude, we move from

being victims of a “cold cruel world” to being a part of God’s transforming work in healing the world

around us.

In our culture, being disappointed and wanting more are among the sacred cows which quietly invade

our lives. We begin our conversations with complaints, focus on the negative, and constantly dwell on

the things we don’t have, while taking for granted the things that we do have. That is not a recipe for

happiness or for a healthy mind. So, take the time to find the joy that God is holding for all of us. Find the

healing power of gratitude.

Peace,

Pastor Jack

Coming Up in Worship

7/2/2017 Sabbath - God Says You Deserve a Day Off Communion

Sermon: "Working and Living"

Theme: We become slaves to our work and anxieties about proving ourselves worthy.

As a result, we lose the precious gift of being God's capable people.

Purpose: The congregation will consider what they do that is important to relationships and focus

on those things.

Scriptures: Exodus 20:8-11 God commanded to rest on the Sabbath.

Luke 13:10-17 Jesus heals on the Sabbath.

Questions:

Why is it so many of us do not have a healthy balance between work and rest? What causes us to think

that neglecting our health and our family is pleasing to God? What lack of inner strength leads us to

obsessively worry about work and money? How do we learn to honor the Sabbath without becoming

legalistic about it? What can we change, in our lives, to be healthier in our relationships with our family

and with God?

7/9/2017 "Putting on A New Self"

God clothes us in a robe of being valued for ourselves.

Sermon: "Putting On an Identity of Love"

Theme: We are constantly pushed to show importance, power, influence, and success but real

happiness and security is found in clothing ourselves with compassion, humility, and

above all, love.

Purpose: The congregation will become sensitive to their need to be noticed and important so that

they may seek instead to find love and peace.

Scriptures: Matthew 6:28-30 Consider the lilies of the filed.

Colossians 3:12-17 Above all clothe yourselves with love.

Questions:

What shapes the way we think of ourselves? In what ways do we allow our “self” or identity to be given

to us by others? In what ways do we have a solid self that holds onto our value and purpose? What role

does love play in our values? In what ways do we allow superficial things to determine how we feel

about ourselves and the attitudes we hold towards others? What impact does the tendency to make

judgements about other people’s appearance make on ourselves and our own relationships?

7/16/2017 Security Blankets and Good Luck Charms

"Milk it for all it's worth."

Sermon: "Insecurity and Security Blankets"

Theme: Instead of creating "Sacred cows" we will find our security in the knowledge of God's

unending loving care for us.

Purpose: The congregation will recognize their insecurities and begin to seek to set them aside.

Scriptures Romans 8:31-39 All things work together for those who are in Christ, if God is for

us, who can be against us?

Matthew 14:22-36 Jesus walks on the water to the Disciples, who are struggling in

the boat. The people want to touch the fringe of his cloak.

Questions:

How do we respond to the anxieties and fears that are with us over long periods of time? What roles do

“good luck charms” and other attachments play in our lives? In what ways do we enable fears to domi-

nate our lives? In what ways do we lack trust in God’s love or willingness to care for us? What are the

ways in which we can remind ourselves that God’s love is with us? What can we do to break our de-

pendence on superstitions and other crutches for dealing with anxiousness and fear? What is a healthy

understanding of anxiousness and fear for Christians?

7/23/2017 You Are Special, Just Like Everybody Else.

"Do brown cows produce chocolate milk?

Sermon: "One God, One People"

Theme: It is destructive to our mind and soul to allow roots of racial hatred to interfere with our

relationships with God and others.

Scriptures: Galatians 3:23-29 There is no longer Jew nor Greek - we are all baptized into

Christ.

Mark 7:24-30 Jesus and the Syrophoenician mother.

Questions:

In what ways do we participate in racism? Is there a difference between being racist and being inexperi-

enced in interacting with people of a different culture or ethnic group? How should we go about being

people of justice and peace for all people? How do we learn and grow in our knowledge of one another

without being insulting or arrogant? What does it mean for us, that we are all one people? What has to

happen so that we may be supportive of peace and justice for all people?

7/30/2017 Hero Worship - Living Vicariously.

"The Cow jumped over the moon."

Sermon: "Who Decides Who You Are?"

Theme: God created us each with unique gifts and talents, so that we may better appreciate our

own unique gifts rather than envy others.

Purpose: The congregation will recognize the problems with "hero worship" and finding meaning

in other affiliations than the gifts of God's love and presence.

Scriptures: Hebrews 12:1-3, 12-17 Run the race set before us. Pursue peace and holiness.

Matthew 16:13-28 Who do you say that I am? Those who will lose their life for the

sake of the cross will find it.

Questions:

Why do we become so fascinated by celebrities and sports figures? What causes us to become fo-

cused on what they think or believe? In what ways do we participate in “hero worship?” What are the

dangers of hero worship? What impact does focusing externally for our value and meaning have on our

faith? In what ways are our affiliations and relationships affected by what celebrities and sports figures

we value?

Church Connection

We are in the process of sending out invitations to create your own log-in to the new church network –

Breeze. If we have a current email address for you, you will be receiving an invitation over the next

couple of weeks. We would like you to look at your information and update it, where necessary. If you

would like any of your information to remain private, please let us know. The invitations are coming from

October 6-7 - Jesus Seminar

Jesus Seminar on the Road

Pilgrim United Church of Christ

535 Stow Street

Fond du Lac, WI

Changing Perceptions:

Earth, Self and God

Presenters:

Members of the Jesus Seminar

Clayton Crockett, Ph.D.

Susan (Elli) Elliott, Ph.D.

Jesus’ vision of a divine domain sub-

verted and transformed everyday life

in the first century. It incorporated

insights from the great sages of his

time, but the church imprisoned the

iconoclast in an iconic creed. Centu-

ries later, creedal Christianity died in

the arms of Copernicus, Newton,

Darwin, and Einstein. A new scien-

tific story about life now demands a

new religion. What are the elements

of that religion?

The titles for each session are:

Friday Evening -

Changing Perceptions of Earth

Saturday Morning -

Ancient and Modern Self and A Post-

modern Self

Saturday Afternoon -

The God Question. The leaders will

welcome questions.

All events will be held at Pilgrim

United Church of Christ. The semi-

nar is being cosponsored with Open

Circle Fellowship Unitarian Univer-

salist, Fond du Lac.

Complete details of the seminar and

registration information can be found

online at westarinstitute.org/events.

(Some scholarships are available. Please

contact Peg Bradley, 920-922-0731 for

information.)

Sacred Cows -

The Wrangling Continues

Be aware of the sacred cows grazing

in our area! They may not seem to

move fast but they sure seem to get

in the way!

Join us as we learn to live in the

freedom of enjoying the blessings

that God has given us.

To Playground Volunteers

GOOD NEWS! If you haven’t al-

ready noticed, the playground reno-

vation project is complete and ready

for action!

Drain tile has been installed, along

with crushed rock, landscaping fabric

and the required type and amount of

mulch. This project was designed to

eliminate the frequent flooding that

occurred in the past.

A huge thank you goes out to Bob

Binning for his expertise in design

and many hours of labor. In addition,

many thanks are due to our tractor

and skid loader crew: Orv Kam-

phuis, Dave Wilke and Jim Wolfe.

Also, thank you to our shovel, wheel-

barrow and rake crew: Tyler

Albrecht, Dave Erickson, Larry John-

son, Goron Koncos, Mike Petersen,

Lew Smith, Don Vahlsing, Dave We-

ber and Steve Zeigler.

An equally big thank you goes to the

benefactors who donated money to

make this project possible - without

any cost to the church budget!

Now it’s time to enjoy our new

playground!
