Glorify, Build,

The purpose of St. Peter’s First Community Church is to glorify God, build up the body of Christ, and reach out to those in our community and world to help them become
followers of Christ.

JULY
2016
“There are no little people and no big
people in the true spiritual sense, but only
consecrated and unconsecrated people.
The problem for each of us is applying
this truth to ourselves: Is Francis
Schaeffer the Francis Schaeffer of God…
As there are no little people in God’s
sight, so there are no little places. To be
wholly committed to God in the place
where God wants him— this is the
creature glorified.” - Francis Schaeffer,
pg. 17-18, No Little People, 1974
There are so many good things happening
in July of which St. Peter’s First
Community Church gets to be a part! That
means you!
July 10th
9:30 am - 2:00 pm. Joe Reed will be in
pulpit to share with us about the ministry
work SPFCC has been supporting in
Boston and around the country. Joe isn’t
going to just talk about it though, he’s
going to bring a friend from CRM and
they’re going to help us experience what
it is that’s going on in these other
communities. Then we’re going to break
for brunch after service and head into a
brief afternoon session where you’ll have
the opportunity to learn how to be part of
God’s disciple making movement here in
Huntington. In other words, if you’ve
wondered what part you can play in
God’s unfolding Kingdom, this is a great
opportunity to explore that. As Joe
paraphrased Francis Schaeffer in a recent
blog, “In God's sight there are no little
people and no little places. Only one thing
is important: to be consecrated persons in God's place for us, at each moment.”
You’re an essential part of God’s mission
in Huntington and we hope you’ll make
time to join us Sunday, July 10th from
9:30 am - 2 pm.
4:00 - 7:00 pm The Drover Town
Neighborhood Alliance (DNA) Block
Party has been postponed until August
7th.
July 17th
9:30 am. Brian Reynolds will be in
pulpit to share with us about the ministry
work SPFCC has been supporting in
Vienna, Austria through Brian’s work in
the classroom and his local church. Brian
teaches art at the International Christian
School of Vienna and will be sharing with
us some of his reflections from Francis
Schaeffer’s Art and the Bible, one of the
texts he requires his students to read.
He’ll help us understand the importance
of art for the Christian life and the
invitation for each of us to “come alive to
the freedom that is uniquely yours to
create to the glory of God” as Michael
Card writes in the foreword for the 2006
version of this classic text.
July 31st
9:30 am. Roger Vezeau with Youth For
Christ of Northern Indiana will be in
pulpit to help us celebrate our Youth
Investment Sunday. We’ll be recognizing
our volunteers, seeing what our children’s
ministry has been up to this summer,
celebrating the upcoming opportunities
we have to invest in our children and
youth, and starting to collect classroom
supplies and snacks needed for the
children’s ministry and Homework Help
this year. Roger has been working in
youth ministry for 32 years and has now
turned the corner to training and
equipping the next generation for youth
ministry.
Come join us this July as we celebrate
that in Christ there are no little people and
no little places. What matters is being
consecrated people in the place God has
called us!

HKC Update
*Summer Gatherings! Throughout the summer, the kids
from HKC will have opportunities to get together to connect,
continue forming relationships, and grow in their faith. They
also have a cool summer calendar and devotional to use to
draw closer to Jesus this summer.
Celebration Moment: It’s been fun to “run into” kids from
HKC around town this summer! It’s great to see them and
hear about their summers. a_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Youth Update
*Summer Youth Gatherings: The youth will be meeting
every other Wednesday and for various special events
throughout the summer. Be sure to check the summer
calendar for more details or contact Megan. We’ve got lots
of new and fun
activities
planned for the
summer. All
middle and
high school
students are
welcome to
attend.
*Operation
Backyard Beta: Sunday, August 7 from 10:30 am – 5:00 pm.
Middle and high school students from Huntington will come
together for the day to live, learn, serve, and have fun
together. If interested, please see Megan.
Celebration Moment: Recently I had a conversation with a
few of our youth who regularly attend. I was really
encouraged by what they shared and how much they
appreciate youth group. They said they preferred doing
activities with the youth group than their friends. They have
fun, are cared for, and can grow through youth group. a_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Homework Help Update
*Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help with the
program, provided snacks for the students, and prayed for us.
Our volunteers invested over 425 hours in the students this
year and our congregation donated over 1,500 snacks and
drinks!
*The upcoming school year will be here before we know it.
We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to
invest around an hour a week with the students. If you plan
to help again this year or would like to start helping, please
let Megan know.
Celebration Moment: Earlier this summer one of our regular
attenders came in to help inventory and level our books. We
had a fun afternoon working on this project. We were able
to get through over 100 books! Now students will know if a
book is an AR (Accelerated Reader) book and how many
points it is worth.
Children’s Update
*Thank you to all the kids who helped us celebrate Father’s
Day! The kids did a great job sharing a special Father’s Day
reading with the congregation and enjoyed making special
“pop” treats for their dads.
* Kids’ Summer Fun is underway! The kids had a blast at
Movie Night where they spent the evening with Baymax and
learned more about how Jesus cares for us. We’ve got some
fun filled events coming up for kids age 4 through 6th grade.
Surprise Night: July 8 from 6-8 pm
Olympic Game Night: July 13 from 6-8 pm
End of Summer Fun: July 23
It’s not too late to join in on the fun! Registration forms are
available in the William St. foyer. Be sure to grab one for
you and a friend!
*Mark your calendars for our Children’s Kickoff on Sunday,
August 14th. Join us as we recognize and celebrate a new
year in our children’s ministry.
*Do you like spending time with kids? Do you enjoy
smiling, laughing, and learning new things? If you said yes,
then volunteering in our children’s ministry on Sunday
mornings may be a good fit for you! We are looking for fun
loving individuals who want to share Christ’s love with the
kids. If that’s you, please contact Megan Condry for more
information.
Celebration Moment: It was a joy to see how much the kids
enjoyed movie night! It was encouraging to see how the kids
care for one
another and
are there to
help each
other. The
kids made
some great
connections
between the
character
Baymax, in
the movie,
and Jesus.
Please continue to pray for all the children & youth involved in these activities.
Pray for the volunteers who interact with them each week.
Beautiful Tears
Have you ever felt yourself start to cry and then quickly
tried to blot the tears away before anyone noticed? Why is
that? Why are we so unsure of our tears?
I wouldn’t say I’m a big crier but then again maybe you
should ask those who know me well and they may just have
a different story. Recently, I’ve been more attune to the tears
I cry and to the tears of others.
Two contradictory and confusing phrases are grown men
don’t cry and real men cry. Where does that leave us?
Recently, I watched several grown men cry on national
television with no shame but because they felt something so
deeply that the tears came as an outward expression of an
inward feeling. As the last seconds ran down on the clock,
the tears began to come for the players, coaches, and fans of
the Cleveland Cavaliers. Truth be told, I’m not a Cavs’ fan
and I’m not even a big fan of the NBA but I’m always a fan
of the underdogs and Cinderella stories. In the minutes
following the game I witnessed something rare and beautiful.
Grown men crying, even weeping. The tears took the joy
and celebration of the moment to an even deeper level. It
wasn’t just about winning but about so many other emotions,
stories, journeys, and experiences. Some just sat in silence
as the tears fell, others embraced as they cried, and some
cheered as they cried. These strong men were overcome
with such emotion that the tears just came. I’ve never
experienced and can’t relate to the emotion of winning a
history making NBA game, coupled with ending a 52 year
drought for a city but I can relate to the overwhelming
feeling of emotion.
I cry when I am deeply moved by something. I cry
during movies I’ve seen a hundred times and while watching
television (sometimes at the most surprising shows). Then I
cry when I see redemption at work, when I see stories of
healing, when I see beauty, when I see God at work, when I
see love in action, when I feel hope, and when I experience
joy. I don’t ask for the waterworks or even have any idea
they are coming before they suddenly arrive many times. I
struggle with crying and often try to hold back my tears.
Something about it makes me feel weak but in reality I find
that it’s really beautiful. Tears signify something deeper
inside of us.
Sometimes tears are uncomfortable but I think it’s
because they are so raw and honest. We don’t know what to
do with the overwhelming rush of emotions. We aren’t
accustomed to being honest with ourselves, let alone God
and others. I think that’s why I hold them back. Can I trust
you with my tears? Can I trust that you will see what deeper
thing is going on here rather than just call me a cry baby?
I cry when I feel something deeply. Sometimes I cry
when I hear a song on the radio or read a verse of Scripture.
The amazing reality of the love that God has for me brings
tears to my eyes. The truth that I am loved by the Creator
causes me to cry sometimes. I remember over the years
crying as I said goodbye to people whether it be a few days,
weeks, or years. The older I get, the more I realize those
tears were tears of beauty. These tears symbolized how
much I enjoyed our time together, how we had grown, and
that we had shared something deeply impactful together.
Those emotions and experiences were so real that they lead
to an outward expression, the tears.
When I see others cry, it is a glimpse into their heart. I
see how deeply they feel and care. Sometimes when this
happens, I find tears welling up in my own eyes. I am
moved by how deeply they feel about something or even
realize how deeply I feel about this same thing.
“Jesus wept” (John 11:35). I remember back in the day
being so proud to say we had memorized this verse! As I
look back at this passage it is remarkably beautiful. We read
earlier in verse 33, “When Jesus saw her weeping, and the
Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was
deeply moved in spirit and troubled.” Jesus was deeply
moved by Mary’s tears and those who were along with her.
I’m so comforted by this beautiful picture of Jesus. Jesus
felt so deeply what they were feeling that it led him to tears.
I’m incredibly grateful for a God who allows us to feel in
this way and also for a God who feels with us.
“Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who
mourn” (Romans 12:15). I find that both in rejoicing and
mourning, we share tears with one another. The tears remind
me of our stories and of what it means to share life with one
another. As we cry, together, I am so thankful that we are
brothers and sisters in Christ. As I allow myself to feel
deeply, I experience joy, hope, and life. These are the things
of Jesus. “Laugh with your happy friends when they’re
happy; share tears when they’re down” (Romans 12:15, The
Message).
I’m working on letting the tears come, not holding them
back. I’m learning to let myself feel those things deeply and
be ok with the tears that are expressed. I’m finding it
beautiful that God continues to work in me, opening and
breaking my heart. I’m thankful that He allows me to feel
these things deeply, even if that means there are more tears.
I’m learning that it’s ok to cry. I’m finding and believing
that tears really are beautiful.

A Note From the Ministry Coordinator:
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on
toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting
together, as some are in the habit of doing, but
encouraging one another—and all the more as you
see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25
How are we encouraging one another? How are
we spurring one another on to love and good deeds?
I’ve recently been drawn to reflect on friendship and
what it means to be a good, and a Godly, friend.
What makes a good friend? Do you have a good
friend? Are you a good friend? Why is friendship so
important? How do we better maintain Godly
friendships?
When I think about friendship and why certain
people have remained my friends over time while
others have not, the thing I keep coming back to is
that friends make each other better…we “spur one
another on toward love and good deeds,” (Hebrews
10:24). In friendship, we find mutual respect,
understanding, and encouragement. In order to truly
understand, respect, and encourage each other, we
must first get to know one another well. I wonder if
that is often a breaking point in friendships. We’re
busy. Committing to the time needed to get to know
another person well just doesn’t always seem worth it.
While reflecting on friendship, I’ve been reminded
again of the importance of following through on our
commitments. Too often, we receive a last minute text
message stating that our “friend” isn’t going to be
able to make it for dinner like we planned…because
something better came up. When we can’t be
committed to simple things, we don’t give friendship
a chance because we learn we can’t rely on one
another.
In addition to being busy, we’re prideful. Opening
up and being vulnerable and real about our lives, our
hurts, and our fears is difficult. It’s far easier for me to
act as if I’ve got it all together. Along with
encouraging me, those who have remained my friends
over time hold me accountable to my actions. If I
don’t show up when I say I will, they ask me why and
let me know it hurt them. It’s not always fun to hold
each other accountable, but it’s something God calls
us to do to help us grow in our relationship with Him
and in our friendships. With that, He also calls us to
forgiveness and grace. “Make this your common
practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for
each other so that you can live together whole and
healed,” (James 5:16).
As I think about the
friends in my life and
the characteristics of a
Godly friendship, I am
encouraged to be a
Godly friend and I
wonder what more I
can do to encourage
my friends to be more
like Christ. “When I’m
trying to understand
Him, I often ask: What
would a friend do?
Love me? Encourage me? Enjoy me? Push me to my
potential? Point me to the Word?” (Tune In by Jen
Hatmaker, pg. 91).
“What wouldn’t a friend do? He wouldn’t shame
me. He wouldn’t diminish my gifts or reconstitute my
insecurities. He’ll never support my jealousies. He
won’t justify my poor choices. He’d never turn his
back on me or hold grudges after I’ve apologized.
That’s the voice of the enemy. Don’t listen to any of
that,” (Tune In by Jen Hatmaker, pg. 91-92).
Where are you on the spectrum of friendship?
Have you committed to the time needed to get to
know your friends well? Are you encouraging one
another and holding each other accountable? Are you
pushing your friends to their potential? Are you
offering forgiveness and grace? I pray that you will
continue to challenge and encourage one another, that
you will continue meeting together and spurring one
another on toward love and good deeds (Hebrews
10:24-25), and that we will all continue to grow
together to be more like Christ. ~Megan Engle
