Williston Federated Church

United Methodist Church and United Church of Christ – Federated 1899

An Open and Affirming, Reconciling Congregation Mission Statement ~ Our church is a community

which seeks, welcomes and gathers people to share the Gospel of God’s love, enables people to find fullness of life through Jesus Christ, goes into the

world to live lovingly and justly as servants of

Christ, and responds actively to human need.

“Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.”

Abraham Joshua Heschel

“Epiphany” means “suddenly understanding the meaning of

something.” The day of Epiphany is January 6, the day that’s

traditionally associated with the Magi arriving to worship

Jesus. The season of Epiphany lasts from January 6 to Ash

Wednesday, in the weeks between Christmas and Lent. The

season of Epiphany is the time between the celebration of

Jesus’ birth and the preparations for his death and

resurrection.

During the weeks of Epiphany, we notice. We notice where

God is alive and active in the world. We look for signs of

Jesus’ life among and within us. We reflect on how the Holy

Spirit breathes through our actions and our longings. We

remember that while there is plenty in the world that needs

redemption, there is also a current of life and love, of grace

and hope that pulses in and through us. Epiphany reminds us

that God is here, now. Always.

May this Epiphany season to a time to say thanks, again and

again, for all the ways God is hidden in plain sight, right here

and now, right in the middle of our ordinary lives.

Blessings

Pastor Barb

2016 Christmas Pageant2016 Christmas Pageant2016 Christmas Pageant

Dean Lewis recorded the Christmas

pageant at church on December 18.

It is no where near professional

quality, but you can see the kids and

hear the music. We posted it to

YouTube so our parents could see the

boys in the pageant.

Below is a link to the video. If you think anyone would like to see it, you are wel-

come to share the link. The video is "unlisted" so you have to have the link to view

it. It will not show up by a search.

The mission statement of the Church is summarized on the banner at the top of the Church Web-

site: Come, Meet Christ, Go Serve With Us. It is the function of the committees of the church to

support and carry out that mission.

The role of the Pastor Staff Committee is to support our church employees so they can carry out

the

mission of our church. Each member of our committee is assigned a church staff person to act as a

liaison to our committee and the congregation. This is important should our staff need addi-

tional funds, supplies, support, etc. so they can optimally perform their jobs. It is also the role of

our committee to give feedback to our staff from our congregation should it be necessary; but in a

impromptu format or during a performance evaluation.

This past November our committee sat down with Pastors Barb and Paul to determine how they

were

settling into their positions at WFC. Our committee can report that all is well and we have gotten

nothing but positive feedback from the congregation. Since the spirits are high amongst our staff

and congregation we can better serve the mission of our church.

OUR GIVING TREE 2016OUR GIVING TREE 2016

Wow! We did it, thanks to the hard work of everyone on

the committee and some wonderful spouses, too!

The Giving Tree looked so beautiful the morning of

December 18 with gifts piled high everywhere.

In fact, there were too many gifts (including a bicycle!),

to fit in the photo.

What a big job it was for all of us to have taken on, but

I'm sure the mountain of gifts will be appreciated by the

children of Williston.

The young mother who reached out to us for help,

attended church today with her daughter and when she saw

the piles of gifts for the two of them, she immediately

started to cry. She was so touched by everyone's generosity.

Alternative Gift Shop

Donations to local and national charities through our Alternative Gift Shop totaled $3186 this year. The top

recipients were Spectrum, COTS, and Heifer Project.

We certainly have a generous and caring congregation willing to do God's work in our community and it wouldn't have happened

without all of you on the Missions committee. A big thank you to all of you!

Membership Opportunity Coming Soon

All are welcome here at WFC. If you are new to the church community or have been worshipping with us for

years and are interested in joining the church, there will be an invitation to make a formal commitment to

WFC early in 2017. Look for more details to follow. In the mean time, if you have questions, please speak to

Pastor Barb or a member of the Membership Committee: Carol Bouchard, Carol Burbank, Ruth Magil, Vicki

Members and friends of WFC,

We are all asked to give “time, talent, and treasure” in support of the church. Your Finance Com-

mittee wants you to understand how your offerings, through pledges and Sunday plate, support the many

functions at Williston Federated Church. Each month the e-Steeple will have a short article explaining…

Where do our financial commitments go?

Earthquake-resistant homes & more

Earthquakes in Ecuador Earthquake in Nepal West Virginia Floods

Supporting the Wider Mission of the Church (Denominational Support): $9,364

Our congregation's work extends far beyond our own community. Through our support of our denomina-

tions we provide resources that enable missions throughout the world.

Our “federated” church provides support for, and in turn is supported by, the United Methodist Church

and the United Church of Christ.

Denominational support from our church budget helps fund leadership at the denominational level, minis-

terial education, church agencies and denomination-wide efforts such as disaster relief, Black College

Fund and Africa University in Zimbabwe. Gifts support ministry and work with seminaries, Conferences,

associations, and local churches to nurture, train and call pastors. Also our denominations support causes

such as eliminating hunger and injustice in the world. We take pride in our affiliation with two out-

standing church denominations that are doing God’s work in our world

Search Committee Begins Review of Candidate ProfilesSearch Committee Begins Review of Candidate ProfilesSearch Committee Begins Review of Candidate Profiles.

The Search Committee has begun the next phase of the process of calling a settled Pastor.

After we submitted the “profile” of our church, the denomination posted a cover letter we had writ-

ten, together with two photos we submitted on their website. Prospective candidates can search the web-

site for opportunities that they are interested in. If our church meets their search criteria, they read what in

essence is a summary of our profile. If they have interest they can then request a copy of our full profile

which is sent to them electronically. It they are still interested they can then request a copy of their own

Pastoral Profile be forwarded to us. The conference reviews their profile first to be sure that it is complete.

Up to this point we are not aware of names or number pastors expressing interest.

Our profile was “published” in early December, and with the busy Christmas season we are very

happy to have ten profiles to “read”. Going forward, each week the Conference will forward additional

profiles as they come in.

Pastoral Profiles are a form devised by the UCC for this process just as the Church profile is a form

that must be followed. It contains the usual resume information, like education and work experience and

names of references. (For a more complete description of what they contain, please refer to the guide “How

to Read a Pastoral Profile” we have been provided with in the Search Committee section of the website.)

However, they also include more complex information.

There is a section labeled “Ministerial Essays”. The essay questions reference The Marks of Faith-

ful and Effective Authorized Ministers at the United Church of Christ. The Marks are criterial for what the

UCC believes makes for a successful UCC minister. While the process is relatively new, the goal is to use

these criteria for evaluating and helping minsters have successful ministries. A copy of a more compete

criteria is posted under the Search Committee section of the website.

The first essay begins with standard language: “My sense of being called by God and the church to

authorized ministry (from the “Spiritual Foundation for Ministry” section of The Marks”, followed by a

quarter page personal essay.

The second essay is similar and begins: “My concept of Covenant and how it informs the nature,

purpose and polity of the UCC ….” The third essay begins: “I am passionate about . . . “.

The fourth essay is based on one of The Marks chosen by the candidate.

Page 7

Search Committee Begins Review of Candidate ProfilesSearch Committee Begins Review of Candidate ProfilesSearch Committee Begins Review of Candidate Profiles.

In addition to the standard educational information the Profile also asks for relevant professional

development taken by the candidate. Candidates are also asked to describe three of their key accomplish-

ments.

The names and addresses of three references are included. These folks provide answers to four questions.

Those providing references are asked to 1. Describe their role and relationship to the Minister, 2. This

mister’s areas of strength in the practice of ministry as I experience them are, 3. Some areas of improve-

ment in this minister’s practice of ministry and in my experience of them are, 4. Describe a significant

experience you have had of this person in ministry. There is also a place for additional comments.

The Candidate then provides a “Self-Appraisal” answering the same questions.

There is then a page labeled “Self-Disclosure” which in essence asks about black marks that might

be found on their records-employment discipline and terminations, convictions etc. A criminal back-

ground check conducted by the UCC is attached.

The profile is also certified as reviewed for accuracy by the Conference leader currently responsi-

ble for the candidate.

The current plan is for each member of the Search Committee to read each profile and

evaluate it against the criteria set out in our church profile. We, as a group, and working with consensus,

will then put them into one of three categories: interested, not sure, and not interested. Those in whom we

show interest will be asked to submit additional information, including sermons. Once that information is

received the candidates status will again be reviewed and a decision made as to whether to move forward

with interviews and reference checks for each candidate.

We expect that groups of candidates will be progressing along different places in this process at

the same time.

We hope to keep you informed as we move along. We thank you for your continued prayers and

support

The Search Committee.

The Trustees are preparing to raise funds for the repair of the

steeple.

One of the tasks is to apply for grants from various govern-

mental agencies and other organizations. The Trustees are

looking for help in writing the applications for these grants.

If you are interested please contact the chair, Carolyn Me-

unier- cwm85@yahoo.com

Most Wednesday and Saturday mornings, a group of folks are working to re-insulate the ceiling of the

Fellowship Hall. Insulation comes in standard widths and is expected to fill the gap between beams

that run the width of areas like the Fellowship Hall. Above the Fellowship Hall, engineered beams

were used instead of standard with lumber. These beams look like the iron I-beams we are all familiar with. They tend to be stronger and cheaper than standard lumber.

Unfortunately, their body is narrower than the standard beam and when placed at standard

widths, and insulated with standard insulation, they leave a gap making it easier for heat to escape into

the unheated attic. The Trustees solution to this is remove the existing fiber glass insulation and place

a proper width of one inch foam board insulation between the beams. To add a two and half inch

piece of foam board insulation along the side of the beam to fill the gap and then replace the fiberglass

insulation. The result is a much better level of insulation.

Over the years several uses for the space above the Fellowship Hall, which was originally en-

gineered and built with future expansion in mind, have been proposed. One of the first was for a

space for us to host Disaster Relief volunteers. Another was for new space for the Day Care. Yet an-

other that was explored was for additional classroom space and a choir room. Trudi Anderson was

kind enough to draw details for each of these plans. Certain constants in these designs suggested

changes that have been incorporated into the present work, including location of a new electrical

panel, and additional structural beams. In additional the location of possible shower, kitchen or bath-

room facilities have been identified. This has allowed the scope of the present work to include the

creation of a ramp for access, the installation of a new electrical panel and the placing of appropriate

subflooring in the space.

As future uses for the space become more concrete and funding becomes available a good deal

of the preparatory work will have already taken place.

To date roughly two thirds of the insulation is complete and one quarter of the subflooring is in

place. Now that the time consuming early work is complete and we have areas to work off of in the

attic, we expect the remainder of the work to go quickly.

The Trustees recognize that this work and this investment in energy savings could not have

taken place without your contributions during Lent 2016 to our project fund and we thank you.

Good Morning !

It has been an eventful year for us. Alex finally got a birth certificate ( at age 85). Release was forced . Colo-

rado had to agree with help of a group "Adoptees in Search." He learned that his mother was an 18 year old

girl who surrendered him to a midwife/abortionist who o 9 more children and lived in good health and happi-

ness to age 91. Seven of these siblings survive and we enjoyed meeting all of them, with their spouses, at a

Carlson Family Reunion this past summer. It was a beautiful experience! They are lovely, warm people and

they accepted Alex immediately as "Our big brother who has finally come home from a long journey." We

are keeping in touch by phone, letters and visits from them. I lost the month of April to a deadly cellulitis

which caused loss of the use of my legs. I spent a month in a wonderful rehab facility learning to walk

again. With 4 physical therapy sessions a day I walked out to an applause in 17 days. More PT at

home. Have hired some help. I am in a 5-month remission in my drug study for Macular Degeneration. I am

in month 15 of 24 months study. When the study is completed the drug company will offer me an injection

every month for the rest of my life FREE. I am so grateful for this opportunity .

Things are fine at our church and we enjoy our senior community but we dislike the crime and corruption in

Denver. Alex is slowed due to neuropathy in his feet and increasing dementia. Peace to each of you -

Love, Yvonne

Visit to Vermont Islamic Society

About 200 people from various faiths went to Friday Afternoon Prayers at

the Vermont Islamic Society. The Society had received one of the hate

letters being sent to Islamic groups around the United States. The response

of Vermont Interfaith Action was to arrange for supporters of

inclusion to visit and demonstrate their solidarity with the members of the

Islamic Society.

Space was at a premium for visitors to the society headquarters in Colchester. The bins for shoes were filling fast;

one of the men invited us to come into the inner room to take our shoes off. It was complicated by the fact that it

was a very cold and snowy day, everyone was wearing heavy shoes or winter boots. After the downstairs worship

space was filled, men and women alike were directed to the women’s worship center on the second floor, where a

large screen television was connected to a camera downstairs. Chairs had been set up to allow for the overflow

crowd, while the Muslim women sat, stood, and bowed in prayer on the floor in front of the TV.

One of the women from the society, a convert to Islam, introduced us to the service before it began, explaining that

we could expect anything said in Arabic to be repeated in English, that the service would begin with a chant of the

call to prayer, and that there would be time for questions after the service. She told us the meanings of some of the

Arabic words we would hear during the service.

The Imman began the service with the usual prayers, then welcomed all visitors and gave his “sermon” in English.

He spoke of the Islamic understanding of charity and told us that charity is the third pillar of Islam. He told us of

all the requirement that each Muslim give 2.5% of their savings every year and that all are encouraged to give

more. The lesson for today was about charity toward the wayfarer or the refugee and the requirement to provide

support. We all are sharing faith in God.

After the Imam's sermon, we heard talks of cooperation from three of the leaders of Vermont Interfaith Action.

Good can come from bad. One hate letter was received. This has led to over 500 letters of support.

The congregation prayed, and the service ended for us. As we worked our way down stairs, we were slowed wait-

ing for people ahead of us to put on their shoes. When we got to the room where we had taken off our shoes, the

floor was completely covered with shoes, an inspiration of its own. The service was continuing for its members

with 20 more minutes of prayer.

We were blessed to be in attendance and in solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters.

NOSTALGIA ALLEY

Here is an article from a 1969 WFC Newsletter ….50 years and it’s still very interesting

and thought provoking!!!

Tragic Sense of Life’ Missing

At Princeton University, the Episcopal chaplain recently noted a sign hanging in the campus boathouse,

and to him, it offered a clue to the basic angers of the modern students.

The sign said, “Show Me a Good Loser and I’ll Show You a Loser”.

It expresses an insistence on immediate satisfaction of goals, say the Rev. John H. Snow and also refuses

to accept a conditioning fact of human reality—that even the noblest efforts often go down in defeat.

Knowing how to be a good loser used to be recognized as a mark of maturity,” he says. “It’s the nature

of life—we have to cope, to deal with difficulty and enjoy the trying, to go through misfortune and to do the best

we can.”

This “tragic sense of life” is a central truth of Judeo-Christianity, he adds, but modern youth people have-

n’t got the message, and the lack of it has left them with an almost “paranoid vision of the world.”

They demand quick-fix solutions, everything from building takeovers to maintaining ‘speed,’ “he says. “When

it doesn’t work, they see the failure as a result of a conspiracy on our part — we are inhuman, we put them in

hail, we harass them.”

But actually, he adds, the trouble stems from a superficial view of life itself and a blindness to human

frailibility. He blames the illusion on a pervasive tendency to assume all problems are subject to scientific solu-

tions.

This diagnosis cam up repeatedly, both from religious and psychiatric interpreters, at a conference in

Pittsburgh of the Academy of Religion and Mental Health on the subject of youth.

…...It is highly idealistic, they said, but also crudely arbitrary and shallow in its outlook, gauging human

possibilities in the narrow perspective of a technologically orientated environment.

“There’s an almost total intellectualizing in the universities,” said Father Snow, 45. “We have taught the

young to organize life empirically, to size up every situation as a problem to be solved, rather than as part of a

dynamic process with too many variables to be trapped and dragged into the laboratory”.

This limited approach, the said, ignores “the most important value of Western Judeo-Christianity society,

the tragic sense of life, the knowledge that the best intentions, and most dedicated and loving people can make

the most dreadful mistakes and suffer the most terrible consequences. (excerpt from FREE PRESS, AP, Prince-

ton, New Jersey.)

DOES TIME REALLY MARCH ON???

Book Club and Pot Luck Dinner ….

The choice for January is Bryan Stevenson's’ Just Mercy. Bryan Stevenson was a

young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedi-

cated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly con-

demned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal jus-

tice system.

Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young law-

yer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and

an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice.

The group meets on January 17, at 5:30. The evening will be hosted by Sally Metro in the Fellowship Hall. —please join us.
