‘Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path’

Report From The Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC)

Our Ministry Information Form (MIF) has been approved and posted!

We are excited to announce that our MIF has been approved by the Committee on Ministry of the Donegal Presbytery and has now been posted on the PC(USA) website and other Job Boards and we are now able to start receiving Personal Information Forms (PIF) from interested pastors and referrals from the denomination and presbytery. These PIFs serve as a resume and application for potential candidates.

We once again ask that you would continue to be praying for the Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) as we receive applications and begin to discern God’s call for who should become our next Pastor. Thank you to everyone who has been supporting the PNC and praying for this process.

A Word of Gratitude

Dear friends,

As the deadline for this month’s Lamplighter approached I was uncertain about what to write. Many partially formed ideas floated through my mind, but nothing presented itself as something that needed to be said at this point and time. That is, until now. Thinking over the time since I last wrote, I was made aware of how much I have to be thankful for in regards to this season at Oxford Presbyterian Church. Spending this Christmas with all of you was an absolute delight. I am grateful for the work of those who so sufficiently decked our halls, for the inaugural “Awesome Christmas Event,” for the team that brought the Live Nativity to Oxford Green, for the monumental effort undertaken by those preparing Christmas food boxes for those in need, for the Deacons hosting an ornament decorating party, and for all the amazing work that brought the Family Christmas Eve service to fruition. I was again amazed by the musical gifts of our singing groups on Gaudete Sunday and at both Christmas Eve services, and by the profound generosity of our people shown throughout the season in making our various food, clothing, and gift drives such a success.

This new year I have been touched by your care for my family and I. The prayers of so many sustained Mikhal and I as we travelled to California to say farewell to a dear friend. Though it had slipped my mind that this January marked my fifth anniversary of ordination, it did not go unnoticed by you. Your many cards and notes of encouragement, as well as the cake with my visage on it (thank you Bert Gehron!) were a profound gift to me, a reminder of how richly God has blessed me by affording me this season to serve. I am grateful also for your prayers during my time of study leave, and for the many of you who wrote, or have since spoken to me to

Prior to GPS, road trips were conducted using paper maps (which you could never re-fold correctly after unfolding them!). Even shorter car trips were made with directions scratched on a piece of paper. Getting there was not guaranteed. But today, drivers will leave the east coast by car, headed to California, with nothing but their smartphone. Because of GPS we can head into the unknown with confidence.

For similar reasons, the apostle Paul wrote that we can bear, believe, hope, and endure all things because of God’s love in our life (1 Corinthians 13:7). Because God is love (1 John 4:8, 16) and His love is in us (1 John 4:12), we can go into an unknown future without fear. We can love others and love God because we know that nothing “shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

It was love that motivated God to reach out to mankind (John 3:16). That same love allows us to respond to Him and others in perfect faith. As we enter into the “love month”, how confident are you in God’s love for you? How is that confidence manifesting itself in your life?

The above will reflect the new Elders and Deacons once they have been Ordained and/or Installed on February 17, 2019

This is a compilation of January’s “Did You Know?” pieces that appeared in the weekly bulletins.

On January 6th, in honor of the Epiphany which marks the arrival of the three wise men in Bethlehem, King Cake is often served. Made from twisted strands or rolled up cinnamon-flavored dough, covered with icing and sprinkled with green, purple, and gold sugar, the king cake often has a plastic baby hidden inside. The cake, shaped into a circle or oval to mimic the appearance of a king’s crown, appears on tables throughout the Carnival season, which runs from Epiphany to Fat Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent), at which point many typically abstain from such indulgences as cake. The cake is decorated in the official colors of Mardi Gras which are purple for justice, green for faith, and gold for power. The chalking of the doors is a centuries-old practice throughout the world, though it appears to be somewhat less well-known in the United States. Many Christians chalk their doors with a pattern such as this, “20 † C † M † B † 19,” with the numbers referring “to the calendar year (20 and 19, for instance, for the year 2019); the crosses stand for Christ; and the letters have a two-fold significance: C, M and B are the initials for the traditional names of the Magi (Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar), but they are also an abbreviation of the Latin blessing Christus mansionem benedicat, which means, May Christ bless this house. Taken together, this inscription is performed as a request for Christ to bless those homes so marked and that He stay with those who dwell therein throughout the entire year. Seeing the symbols over our doors can help to remind us, while passing in and out on our daily routines, that our homes and all those who dwell there belong to Christ. It also serves as a reminder of welcoming the Magi gave to Jesus. We should strive to be as welcoming to all who come to our homes to visit us!

In the calendar of the Church we celebrate The Baptism of the Lord every year on the Sunday following January 6, The Feast of the Epiphany. Just like Epipha-ny, when we celebrate the coming of the nations to the Christ child as repre-sented by the magi, the Baptism of the Lord celebrates God’s revelation to hu-mankind in the person of Jesus Christ. The Gospel writers record that at the baptism of Jesus by John the Spirit of God descended upon Our Lord and that a voice from heaven declared that Jesus was God’s son with whom the Father was well pleased.

Despite John’s hesitation, Jesus insisted on being baptized as an act of solidarity with those he came to save. And then he and his disciples began to baptize as well. We baptize because Jesus told his followers to do so as part of spreading the message of God’s salvation (Matthew 28:19). We use ordi-nary water for an extraordinary purpose, recognizing how foundational water is to human life and how often it has factored into the story of God's people. Water is life-sustaining, cleansing, refresh-ing, and can also be destructive. God used the waters of the flood to give the world a new start, the Hebrews entered the waters of the sea as captives and exited them as a free people, the water flow-ing from the Rock in the desert sustained the people, and as the nation passed through the waters of the Jordan they came into the Promised Land. When we use water to baptize we remember its use by God in forming a people, and we testify that in the waters of baptism we are similarly sustained, cleansed, refreshed, even drowned, in order that we might rise from them as a people transformed and claimed by Christ.

The Great Ends of the Church – Presbyterians have summed up our reason for existence in what we call the Six Great Ends of the Church. The Great Ends of the Church are statements that were crafted in the early 20th century to guide the vision and mission of the Presbyterian Church. They are listed in the Book of Order as follows:

• The proclamation of the gospel for the salvation of humankind

• spiritual fellowship of the children of God

• The maintenance of divine worship

• The preservation of the truth

• The promotion of social righteousness

• The exhibition of the kingdom of heaven to the world

Today we look at the middle banner in the sanctuary. Under the banner is a framed write up explaining the symbolism of each.

“The maintenance of divine worship: The chalice represents the Lord’s Supper, and the three drops of water, Baptism in the Trinity. The dove reminds us that the same Spirit is present in the Sacraments as in the proclamation of the gospel. The Sacraments enact the gospel. The raised arms signify our response of praise and thanksgiving: our worship of the living God.”

“The preservation of the truth:

The banner represents the light of truth shining in the darkness. The dove reminds us that the truth we proclaim to the world is the gospel of Jesus Christ, God with us and for us. ‘The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it’ (John 1:5)”

The Great Ends of the Church – Presbyterians have summed up our reason for existence in what we call the Six Great Ends of the Church. The Great Ends of the Church are statements that were crafted in the early 20th century to guide the vision and mission of the Presbyterian Church. They are listed in the Book of Order as follows:

• The proclamation of the gospel for the salvation of humankind • The shelter, nurture and spiritual fellowship of the children of God • The maintenance of divine worship • The preservation of the truth • The promotion of social righteousness • The exhibition of the kingdom of heaven to the world

Today we look at the two on the first banner in the back of the sanctuary. Under the banner is a framed write up explaining the symbolism of each.

“The proclamation of the gospel for the salvation of humankind: The book represents the Scriptures. The dove is rising from the Scriptures indicating the source of both the original witness and our present understanding. The same spirit that inspired the original writers enables us to receive the gospel of Jesus Christ, God with us and for us.”

“The promotion of social righteousness: The banner represents Amos 5:24: “But let justice roll down like water, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” The church is called to witness to God’s justice, and to do everything in our power to ensure that all people are treated fairly.”

The Annual Corporation and Congregation Meeting will be held on February 10, 2019, after the 11 A.M. worship service in Fellowship Hall. Deacons will serve lunch prior to the meeting!

We will give new energy to the Membership Development Ministry this year. The Shepherds’ Lists will be updated and assignments given.

The Deacons will produce a survey using Survey Monkey to be completed on-line January 27 through February 10, 2019. Hard copies will be distributed to congregants who do not have computer access on three consecutive Sundays: January 27, February 3, and February 10 to be completed and returned the same day. This survey will assist June Hoffman, Faith Community Nurse, and Deacons’ Wellness Council Ministry to focus on the programs and needs that will lead to the optimum health of each member of our congregation.

As far as we know, construction on the parking garage is scheduled to begin sometime in February or March. Due to limited parking in the OPC area, the Red Cross Blood Drives normally held in OPC Fellowship Hall will be held at the Oxford United Methodist Church for 2019. If you have questions, please see Carol Latsch, OPC Deacon Blood Drive Liaison. Thank you.

(Session Notes – Continued from page 2)

inquire about my time away. Having opportunity to pursue doctoral studies at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary is a great privilege, one that has deeply formed my practice of ministry over the past two years. My class this January was on the Liturgical Year. Already, I am imagining ways in which the fruit of that study might find its ways into our worship celebrations.

I must also acknowledge my deep gratitude for the work of so many committees and teams who are advancing our life together. I am grateful for our Adult Sunday school classes that engage challenging topics, and for the teachers who give of their time to shape the spiritual lives of our children. I am thankful for the staff members of the preschool, as well as for the board that supports it. The excellence and passion they bring to their work is evident each morning when I drop off my children. I am so happy to see a team working on bringing organization to our invaluable archival materials, for these artifacts and documents both remind us of where we have come from, and help shape our path forward into the future. I rejoice over the work of the Nominating Committee, who approached the task of securing new elders and deacons, as well as members of a PNC with integrity and excellence. And I am grateful that a strong PNC is now doing the good work of discerning the best path forward for OPC.

I could go on and on. And I encourage you to take a few minutes to take stock of the many blessings God has shown you through your involvement at OPC. I hope it will be for you as joyful and humbling of an exercise as it has been for me. Thank you all for the gifts you contribute to making this community of faith so very special.

National Human Trafficking Hotline 1-888-3737-888

Anti-Human Trafficking Alliance of Oxford (ACE)

Human trafficking is unacceptable. We need your help to stop it. You can make a difference!

An estimated 40.3 million people are in slavery worldwide. In every country around the world, people are working for little or no pay, controlled by threats, debt, and violence. We call it by many names, but it amounts to the same thing: modern slavery. Slavery is illegal everywhere, but it continues to thrive because so many of us don't understand it, don't want to think about it, or don't know how to change it.

In Pennsylvania

Human trafficking is a form of modern slavery that occurs in every state, including Pennsylvania. National Human Trafficking Hotline (NHTH) works closely with service providers, law enforcement, and other professionals in Pennsylvania to serve victims and survivors of trafficking, respond to human trafficking cases, and share information and resources.

Pennsylvania had 246 calls and 127 human trafficking cases reported in 2018.

We have so much to learn. Information about how to identify and report suspected human trafficking is discussed at the ACE Meetings now at Oxford Library on the first Thursday of each month.

Who Speaks for Them? is a book written by Marie-Louise Meyers about the victims and raising awareness. Why not let poetry speak for those who have no one to speak for them? Meyer's book is a fundraiser for ACE and cost $15, available at ACE meetings.
