The Shepherd’s Pen

Dear Friends,

I went to a continuing education seminar at the end of May. You may recall that I said something about it in early June. It was about

leadership, decisions, and disciple making. You may also recall that I shared some-thing from it one Sunday. I talked about a theory concerning a change that has taken place in the last generation or so. The theory classed people, like me, as a marathon runner. I was born at the end of World War II. I was raised to be com-mitted to a task and see it through no matter what. It is kind of an endurance thing. The marathon runner is not quick over short distances, but slow and delib-erate over long distances. The object is to do well in the long term and to finish the course. The theory went on to describe the newer generation as being more like a sprinter. The 50 or 100 yard runner who starts quick and finishes fast over the short haul. Now, without judging one to be better than the other, our teacher simply pointed out the difficulties for leaders of the church in light of this theory.

MESSAGE FROM OUR SOCIAL ACTION GROUP BUY FAIR TRADE For the food items that are grown and harvested in other parts of the world, Fair Trade offers a strategy for sustaining the liveli-hoods and communities of small-scale farmers. Fair Trade en-sures that farmers and farm workers receive living wages and la-bor under fair and healthy conditions, with no child allowed. When American consumers purchase Fair Trade Certi-fied food products, including tea, coffee, cocoa, chocolate, honey vanilla, rice, and fresh fruit, they help to raise living standards for farmers by guaranteeing fair prices for the harvest. This Fair Trade premium covers the costs of living and sustainable produc-tion, with enough left over for farmers to invest in development projects. Ask your local grocery stores and restaurants to carry Fair Trade items.

Food that Nourishes People & the Planet What?: Choose food that provides a sustain-able livelihood for small-scale farmers, farm workers and food-service employees here and around the world. Why?: Support local economies and small farms, instead of large often destructive agri-corporations.

Who!: Help preserve the environment and family farms, and em-power low-income workers

The Serve Group has worked in numerous service projects in June. Over 15 volunteers worked with the community ACTION pro-gram on Sunday June 6th, and over 20 par-ticipants from St. Matthew’s met at Jersey Mikes Subway Sandwich Shop for lunch. Fifteen percent of the proceeds, from Jersey Mikes, went to support service projects in the community.

On Saturday, June 13, over 43 homeless people were served dinner at St. Julies Catholic church. Volunteers from St. Mat-thews provided the food and made lunches for people to take with them for and addi-tional meal. The Serve group also coordi-nated another food drive for the Children’s Hunger Fund; over 35 boxes were returned. On an ongoing basis, a food container is (Church Happenings continued on page 5)

(Church Happenings)

available in the Narthex collecting food items for Manna, which is a local food bank. On June 28, we had a blood drive at St. Mat-thew’s. The blood mobile was parked in the church parking lot.

The Heifer Project is supported on an ongoing basis, but for the month of June the Sunday School program at St. Matthew’s has been learn-ing about what the Heifer Program does and special banks were constructed for the children to save for the Heifer Project.

On Sunday, June 28th, was Children’s Sunday, where the children brought in their special Heifer offerings. The children presented what they learned in Vacation Bible School about “The Fruits of the Holy Spirit” which was held June 22- 26 led by Tanya Blanck. Alex Chow brought the Sunday morning sermon.

Angel Dancers, coordinated by Juliane Detweiler blessed worship on Sunday, June 21 with their performance. Thank you, Juliane, for making this ministry possible. Our Angel Danc-ers who performed are: Annie Forbes, Juliet Forbes, Emma Blanck, Morgan Blanck, Lark Detweiler, Wenonah Birgy, Jordan Birgy, Emily Hallit, Kelly Chow, Hannah Sylvester and Juliane Detweiler, our coordinator.

Sanctuary Choir Celebrates! Our Sanctuary Choir celebrated the culmination of a year of hard work and dedication to St. Mat-thew’s choir. On Wednesday, June 24, the mem-bers of the choir enjoyed a potluck BBQ at Randi Berry’s home. Thank you Choir for all your beautiful music presented every Sunday morning. See you back in the Fall!

More News! On June 27th and 28th Denise and Steve Curtis participated in the Ham Radio dem-onstration at the Ronald Regan library in Simi Valley. Also, Scott Detweiler and his Rock Band from Rock Nation performed at the “Blue Bar & Grill in Agoura on June 26. Scott plays lead gui-tar in the band.

Special thank you to Dennis and Jackie Heine-mann, Tina and Frank Martin, Linda Norberg and Ruth Bushart for opening their homes to host informational meetings for our Capital Cam-paign. Thank you to Ralph Matthews, Linda Norberg, Bill Hartley and Kent Detweiler who made the Capital Campaign presentations.

Where the difficulty comes between the marathon runner and the sprinter has to do with several things. The marathon runner is in it for the long run. Worship is seen as a 52 week a year thing. You have to be committed to be there every week. The sprinter on the other hand sees worship as a one time event. They look forward to this Sunday and they participate to get some inspiration for that week. Now the accommoda-tion might be to plan 52 one time events of worship that are inspira-tional for the ones who are there that week. Dr. Callahan used the story of the Tortoise and the Hare. In the time when that story was written it was a marathon society so the tortoise wins. But in our society, it has become more of a sprinter society. In the modern story, you might say the hare wins. I had to ask myself if that was true. In my years as a pas-tor, I have seen many missed opportunities because the church didn’t move fast enough. I have also seen times when the church has moved too fast without due deliberation and the opportunity turned out to be a failure. So which is it? We as the church must be flexible enough to take risk in order to win some. We must also be thoughtful enough to make plans for the long run or we will be dashing about like a chicken with our heads cut off. For example: We do need to plan worship for 52 Sundays a year. But we also must be open to the element of spontaneity and special times which may present themselves. In another way we have already begun to adapt. I have found since being at St. Matthew’s U.M.C., that we are sprinters when it comes to studies. Some studies have been what I con-sider to be greater successes than others. None of them have been more than 6 weeks and that works okay for a sprinter. Some of them have had greater time of preparation and it showed in the results. Others have been raised and run so fast that the results, although good, were less broad in participation. I don’t know where this is going, but I have found that our people have such diverse schedules that we as a church need to consider this theory as we plan to carry out our mission here in Newbury Park and beyond. For the planning, Jesus might remind us of the builder in Luke 14:28-30. For the decisions that are timely He might remind us of Paul’s statement in 2 Corinthians 6:1-2.

Blessings upon you all!

Pastor Bob

HOMELESS FEEDING IN JUNE

On June 13, St. Matthew’s volunteers gave of their time, talents

and treasures to feed forty-three homeless people at St. Julies’

Catholic Church. Three delicious chicken casseroles highlighted

the menu that included green salad, rice, four different vegetables

dishes, cookies and drinks. We also made bag lunches to provide

nourishment for the following day. There were many comple-

ments on the tastiness and hardiness of the home cooked food!

Thank you all who helped make this homeless feeding a success.

Our next homeless feeding will be on Saturday, August 8.

MESSAGE FROM OUR

SOCIAL ACTION GROUP

PROTECT AMERICA’S

FARM WORKERS

The consolidation of

farms hasn’t only squeezed small-scale farmers; it has also given

rise to a population of 400,000 migrant farm workers moving

between 80,000 farms, according to the United Farm Workers

(UFW), a union of US farm workers. The UFW, founded by or-

ganizer Cesar Chavez, has worked for more than two decades to

help farm workers organize to effect change. But unfortunately,

laws concerning wages, working conditions, and health and safety

for farm workers are not enforced consistently, writes Arturo S.

Rodriquez, the current president of UFW. Too often, US farm

workers continue to be cheated of wages, female workers experi-

ence sexual harassment, pesticides on non-organic farms make

workers sick, and many aren’t given consistent access to clean

drinking water.

The union label on food helps ensure that farm workers

are given a voice on the job to advocate for fair wages and

healthy working conditions. UFW maintains a list of mushrooms,

roses, grapes, strawberries, apples, and citrus harvested by union-

ized farm workers at www.ufw.org (click on “Union Label”). A

list of packaged foods manufactured by members of the United

Food and Commercial Workers’ Union (UFCW) is online at

www.ufw.org > About UFCE> Union Made.

In addition, the Agricultural Justice Project has been

working to develop standards for what social justice means in the

context of sustainable, organic agriculture in the US.

The project undertook a pilot program in the Midwest,

through which produce from four family farms was sold in co-op

grocery stores under a “Local Fair Trade” label, meaning that the

source farms had undergone independent monitoring to ensure

they adhere to Project standards. Farmers; farm worker; and in-

digenous, retail, and consumer groups have worked to develop

the standards, which address: workers’ rights to freedom of asso-

ciation and collective bargaining, fare wages and benefits for

workers, clear conflict resolution policies for farmers and farm

workers, the rights of indigenous peoples, and workplace heal and

safety.

ST. MATTHEW’S CHILDREN DONATE TO HEIFER

The children of St. Matthew’s have concluded their Sunday

School study of how the work of Heifer International relates to

what God teaches us in the Bible. Once again, they have taken

what they learned about the principles of “sharing and caring”

and “passing on the gift” to heart. They collected coins all

through the month of June to add to the weekly children’s

offering which has been collected since January, and have made a

generous donation of animals to Heifer.

Hear from a Heifer farmer in India, Santi Pradhan: “I love the

Passing on the Gift. I am poor, but I am given the opportunity to

help another the same as me. This is a blessing.”

A big “Thank You” to all the children who are helping do God’s

work around the world!
