PASTOR’S MESSAGE

Beginning in the late 17th century, it was the custom for ministers to deliver an election day sermon in the churches of colonial America. This practice contin-ued well into the 19th century. These sermons were !"!#$%&'($!)$!*)+,%,)!"&) '!&,!*,*) &") '!-.,!/,) &0,)vote in a particular direction but rather to address the political and moral issues of the day in the context of religious faith.

These issues affect us all and deserve to be addressed in the pulpits of churches, syna-gogues, mosques, and temples throughout the nation. Partisan politics has no place in religious worship, but discussion of these political issues certainly does. Jesus often addressed such issues in his discourses and parables. Likewise, religion belongs to public life. It is sectarianism that is to be avoided there. If I were to deliver an election day sermon to-*$54)9)+".1*)$**%,(()6"&0)&0"(,)(,,7'!;)#.61'/)"=</,)

NOTABLE EVENTS

On Sunday, November 4, the church school class will put on a simple puppet play during worship. The script is simple enough that no lines need to be mem-orized; the goal is to have a cute show with as little stress as possible. Children should arrive by 9:45 a.m. if they plan to be a part of the play.

Christmas PageantSunday, December 9 10:00 a.m., SanctuarySome years ago, I worked at a church that had a won-derful and well-attended Christmas Pageant. The children of the church very much looked forward to being in the Pageant, as they do here at RHCC. I asked the middle school-aged youth “Why do we give gifts at Christmas?” I was hoping to hear at least one of two answers: because God gave us baby Jesus, or because the Magi brought gifts to the baby Jesus. Sadly, despite being in the Pageant every year of their lives, the youth were not able to come up with these answers. This told me, as an educator, not to assume that if children were performing and saying the words they would automatically understand the meaning and intent of the words they were saying.

So, as we prepare for the Pageant beginning November 18, we will also be studying a unit called “Journey to Bethlehem.” The children will:

Robert was not the only youth who loved this annual trip. Thirteen-year-old Anna shared how the trip was a rare time away from her rigorous swimming schedule, and while she excelled at the sport, she didn’t like it all that much. She swam because her mother wanted her to. She wished she had more time to be with the youth group. Eleven-year-old Cassie threw a tantrum when her parents would not allow her to attend the

Initially, a tired and overbooked young person may see the faith-based youth group as “one more thing” taking away from precious downtime at home. But my experience has been that over time, teens dis-cover that the supportive and fun time they have in a youth group actually energizes them and sends them into the world more ready to face it. A few parents have reported to me how their child’s grades im-proved dramatically because of their involvement in youth group. One father became, and still is, a very active member of his church because of the positive changes he saw in his boys, who grew into leadership positions because of the youth group. Faith-based youth groups do not bench, do not charge fees, do not train kids for multimillion-dollar professions. Their value cannot be measured, but it is palpable.

The Chamber Players are looking forward to joining renowned harpsichordist Paolo Bordignon in concert here on Sunday, November 4, at four o’clock in the afternoon.

Bordignon is currently the harpsichordist for the New York Philharmonic.

He is a faculty member of the Westminster Choir College in Princeton, an Associate

He was the featured soloist at the inaugural concert at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall and has performed with many of the world’s great symphony orchestras.In concerts for “Great Performers at Lincoln Center” Bordignon has collaborated with such artists as Midori, Sarah Chang, Joshua Bell, and Itzak Perlman.

LES BEAUX ARTS GALLERY

A wide variety of fine Haitian painting, sculp-ture, steel drum metalwork, and objets d’art are on exhibit and on sale during “Art for Education: Haitian Art Show to Benefit Haiti Lumiere de Demain” at Les Beaux Arts Gallery now through Sunday, November 18. Art for Education combines renowned and lo-cal Haitian artists, working in a variety of media, to present a picture of Haiti’s present, past, and future. The paintings are whimsical with vibrant colors, and the subjects relate to everyday life. The display also includes handmade papier mâché from Jacmel, the village of artisans famous for their elaborate papier mâché carnival masks as well as beautiful handmade metalwork with intricate designs, which were coaxed out of recycled oil drums, using hammers and chisels.

Haiti, a country most known for its abject poverty, uncertain politics, and the recent catastrophic earth-quake, has an extraordinarily rich culture, history, and tradition. Incorporating African, French, and tribal roots, these works present dynamic and spirited de-pictions of Haitian life. ) P11)#%"/,,*()6,!,<&)Y$'&')T.3',%,)*,)c,3$'!4)$)!"!F#%"<&)"%;$!'O$&'"!)"#,%$&'!;)&")#%"3"&,)1'&,%$/5)$!*)educational opportunities in rural and impoverished parts of Haiti by providing textbooks, scholarships, and other necessary learning tools, since 1998.

PASTOR’S MESSAGE

and those who elect them. To the politicians I would say: “Remember, you are being elected for service, not for privilege. The Preamble to our Constitution states that our nation was formed to establish jus-tice and promote the general welfare for ourselves and for our posterity. Your service and your attention should be for those most vulnerable in our society. Our faith tells us that every person is made in the image of God, every person has value, and every-one is entitled to adequate food, shelter, and health care. The national tent must be large enough to ac-commodate all. In foreign relations, elected servants, remember that the wisdom of our religious traditions for centuries has been that the use of armed force, if it be deemed necessary, should be an avenue of last resort. The goal is to establish peace, not to punish evildoers. The overwhelming force that is available to you today should be used only as a last resort, only in response to the aggression of others. By electing 5".)&")#.61'/)"=</,4)+,)0"!"%)5".)+'&0)".%)&%.(&4)$!*)thank you for your service.” To those citizens who are eligible to vote in this election I would say: “Vote. It is a sacred privilege entrusted to you. But before you go into the voting booth to cast your ballot, remember the teachings of your faith. Tear down any barrier in your mind that separates what is political from what is religious. Al-low your faith to speak to you, to inform your deci-sions. Remember that we worship a God who is blind to the distinctions between Americans and Chinese, Russians and Canadians. God only sees God’s chil-dren living in mutual dependence on one another . . . one human family living together on one planet. The creation was given for all to enjoy, for all to share, and for all to protect. Set aside your self-interest and allow your faith to offer a broader perspective, one that is inclusive and rooted in universal principles, eternal truths. Before your vote, pray. Fall still and listen to God. Let what you know of the good and true arise in you. Open your heart, that place where hope, faith, and love reside, and let it speak to you and to your decisions. Listen to those who seek your vote and hear what is being expressed behind the words they use. Remember that the election is not only for us, but for all those who come after us, our children and grandchildren, those near to us, and those we

will never know. Be willing to set aside self-interest for the interests of all. Be guided by the truth that we are here to serve others. To all Christians, remem-ber the words of Jesus in his darkest hour, alone and afraid in the Garden of Gethsemane, yet praying to God: ‘Not my will but thine be done.’” Yes, people of faith should with one voice ask God to bless this great nation, mending her every -$+) $!*) $!"'!&'!;) 0,%) !"&) ="%) (#,/'$1) &%,$&3,!&)within the family of nations, but anointing her with wisdom, courage and humility for the sake of all, all Americans, and all people everywhere.
