Reaching out… to whom… with what… why?

Outreach… to whom… with what… why?

to… individuals and families, to people of all ages, nations, and races…

with… worship, education, formation, care, compassion, Christian experience…

with… all in my power… to increase faith, confirm hope, perfect love…

with… prayers, presence, gifts, service, witness…

why… law… gospel… institutional religion… vows… The Discipline… church… country… state… Moses, David, Saul/Paul… Mama or Daddy or Grandpa or Grandma…

Reaching out… outreach… to all persons with the love of God,

the grace of Jesus Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit

because in our baptismal waters sin is washed away, we are

clothed in righteousness throughout our lives, we have invited

the Holy Spirit to work within us so that we may live as faithful

disciples of Jesus Christ who has beckoned and called us into

relationship with all of humanity in the same way he selflessly

gave himself... no strings attached, just a cross and an empty

tomb…

And so what does outreach look like in our lives… our words,

conversations, actions, daily decisions, relationships (intact or

broken or never made)? This is a crucial question that requires

crucial conversation. Specifics and details are forthcoming on

training for a book study and subsequent crucial

conversations.

D uring my senior year of college I spent about half of my

week serving as the social work intern at a church near

Baylor University in Waco, Texas, learning about faith in

practice. It was an unusual congregation, and not only

because they had a social worker on staff. They were a group

founded by Baylor students aimed at engaging college

students in ministry throughout those formative years

between leaving their teens and becoming full‐fledged

adults. As you might imagine, it was a community with a

boundless supply of hope, passion, and imagination, but not

a great deal of resources. They had a strong sense of calling

into missions both in their neighborhood and abroad, and

they quickly learned the value of strong partnerships in

ministry where gifts could be exchanged, reinforced, and

multiplied. One of those significant partners was a large local

food pantry where we directed visitors in need of a meal.

As a new intern, I called the contact person for the food

pantry that was listed in the notes left behind by my

predecessor to get more information about their mission

and the services they provided. I spoke with an enthusiastic

man who could not have been more warm and passionate

about his work. He happily answered all my questions about

what clients would need to provide to receive services at the

pantry, where I should send them, and who to ask for when

they got there. I can’t say that I remember any of those

details now, but I do remember him explaining to me why he

felt this work was so important.

“It’s an opportunity,” he told me,

“to get them in the door so we

can tell them about the Gospel.”

That gave me pause. Isn’t a rumbling tummy crying out to

the God who created it a worthy enough cause for ministry

in itself?

As the new Minister of Creative Evangelism at Galloway, I

want to be in the business of nourishing rumbling tummies

and hungry souls. For my friend at the food pantry in Waco,

evangelism was fairly narrowly defined. Although their work

to feed their neighbors was wonderful, he ultimately saw it

as a means to an end. That end was sharing a testimony

about Jesus Christ and hopefully, by the power of the Holy

Spirit, helping to change lives through relationships with God

and the church.

At Galloway, we believe the means are just as crucial as the

end. When we share a meal with our neighbors at Grace

Place simply because they are hungry, that is good news.

When we help smiling children from both Galloway and St.

Andrew’s pass out snocones and lemonade on a hot summer

day, that is good news. When

we partner with brothers and

sisters at Meadowbrook United

Church of Christ to provide

transitional housing for folks

who are ready to move from the

streets to a more stable living

environment, that is good news.

Evangelism simply means to share the

good news, and at its core, the good news

is that God loves us, no exceptions.

Because God loves us, we are freed, invited, and

empowered to love one another. Within our community,

each of us possesses our own skills, experiences, and gifts for

demonstrating a love too big to be contained by only one

ministry or mode of sharing. From lawyers who volunteer

their time and expertise to assist folks in receiving their

essential medical benefits to volunteers who knit hats for

newborn babies, you are opening your hearts and minds to

creative ways of answering God’s call to love. In the coming

months, let’s explore how we can minister together to

bodies and spirits in ways that are new as well as those that

are already firmly established.

How might we continue to offer our prayers and

pocketbooks to serve folks who call Smith Park home? What

does it mean to offer the gift of presence to urban dwellers

at the King Edward and Standard Life buildings? How might

we build faithful relationships with the Methodist students

we support at Africa University in Zimbabwe or strengthen

the ministries of our friends at Salt and Light in Honduras?

These are big questions that don’t always lend themselves to

small, simple answers. They require creativity, a willingness

to look beyond our comfort zones out into the places where

our communities’ needs connect with our particular gifts and

grace. Thankfully we serve an endlessly creative God who

speaks through burning bushes, shepherd boys, teenage

mothers, and even the rocks when necessary—we’ve got

plenty of material to work with.

“Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love

one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another,

God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.” (I John 4:11‐12)

What Is That Big Candle

and Why Do We Have It? Reagan Lord, Worship Arts Director

I have been asked this questions many, many times since we at Galloway began using the

Paschal Candle in worship several years ago. The candle itself has been used in worship

for centuries and has ancient traditional roots.

Fire has long been a sign of God’s presence. The Old Testament is full of examples: the

burning bush on Mount Sinai, the pillar of fire in the desert, the tabernacle lamps, and

the sacrificial fires on the altar of the temple in Jerusalem. Early Christians rather

naturally viewed the kindling of new fire as a symbol of the presence of their resurrected

Lord, the new pillar of fire.

In Jerusalem, the earliest Christians blessed and lighted candles every Saturday night. By

at least the fifth or sixth century, the custom had become associated with celebrations of

the Resurrection, and Paschal candles had found their way into the liturgy of the

Western church.

In the medieval church, allegorical meaning was ascribed to every aspect of the Paschal

candle. Unlighted, it represented Christ’s death and burial; lighted, it represented the

splendor and glory of Christ’s resurrection. The wick represented Christ’s humanity, and

the halo of flame represented his divinity. Other candles lit from the paschal candle

symbolized Christ giving the Holy Spirit to the disciples.

For us, the symbolism of Christ’s triumph over the darkness of sin and death is

preeminent. This symbolism is most apparent when the Paschal candle is introduced

each year to the congregation in the Easter Vigil on Easter Eve. When the Vigil begins,

the church is dark, symbolic of the darkness of the sepulcher that held the crucified

Christ. A new fire is kindled, and the paschal candle is lit, representing the Risen Christ,

the Light of the world.

Symbolically, this is the fire

from which all light is ignited.

Traditionally, before lighting the candle from the new fire, the candle is inscribed with a

cross, an alpha and omega, and the current year. This reinforces the point that Christ is

present among us now and throughout eternity. The following words traditionally

accompany the inscribing: "Christ yesterday and today [cross], the beginning and the end

[Alpha and Omega]. His are all times and ages; to Christ be glory and dominion, through

endless ages . Amen." Five grains of incense may be inserted into the cross with wax

nails, representing the five wounds of Christ, as indicated during the Easter

proclamation.

As the candle is carried in procession into the dark nave, so Christ lights our way out of

darkness. During this procession, the bearer of the candle lifts it high and sings, "The

light of Christ," to which all respond, "Thanks be to God!" Christ is present in the midst

of the assembly. We are not pretending to reenact Christ’s physical resurrection. We are

not simply recalling an ancient event when Christ was present.

The reality in the message of the resurrection is that the Risen

Christ is present here today, with and for us. There is no one

particular moment within the procession of light or in the vigil

liturgy that we believe to be the exact moment of Christ’s

resurrection. The ancient Easter proclamation, sung by the light

of the paschal candle, says it clearly:

"O night truly blessed which alone was

worthy to know the time and the hour

wherein Christ arose again from hell!"

We are gathered in darkness to wait and look for the

resurrection. Gradually we enter into the reality that Christ is

risen and is present among us. The Paschal candle traditionally

lit for each liturgy during the great fifty days of Easter. (Easter is

not over until Pentecost, the fiftieth day!) Ideally, the candle

burns continuously from the Vigil of Easter through Pentecost.

In some traditions, the Paschal candle is extinguished at the

reading of the gospel on the Ascension of our Lord. This

practice emphasizes the historical presence of Jesus following

the resurrection, rather than focusing on the presence of the

Risen Christ in our time. The fuller symbolism of the Paschal

candle calls for letting it remain lighted and central through the

entire Easter season.

In the time after Pentecost, the paschal candle is placed on its

stand near the baptismal font as a visual reminder that in our

baptism, we are crucified and resurrected with Christ. The

candle is lighted at each celebration of Baptism. In some

traditions, small baptismal candles are lighted from it and

shared with the family . This act is a visual reminder of the

integral connection between Baptism and Easter.

For funerals, the paschal candle is lighted and placed in its

stand at the head of the casket during the funeral rite. In a

visual way, the paschal candle visually proclaims the message of

Romans 6:3‐5 (used at the beginning of the burial liturgy): "In

our Baptism we have already died and been raised with Christ."

The Paschal Candle may also be illumined during other feast

and holy days during the liturgical year the flame from the

Paschal Candle is used to light a small taper in memory of a

loved one on All Saint’s Day, symbolizing the connection from

Baptism through death to resurrection.

The paschal candle, sometimes called the Easter candle, should

not be confused with the so‐called Christ candle, which has no

roots in liturgical history but is often seen at the center of

Advent wreaths.

PROFILE OFPROFILE OFPROFILE OF A YOUTHA YOUTHA YOUTH

Who is someone you have met at Galloway that is a

character, describe them from your perspective.

Pastor Emily is always so nice and bubbly. She's

definitely a character.

What is your favorite food; what about a food that you

would not touch?

Favorite‐ macaroni and cheese least favorite‐

spinach.

Name a bucket list item, and why is it on the list?

I'd really like to go to a fashion show just to be able

to see all the clothes.

If you could have one super power what would it

be and why?

Probably super speed so that I wouldn't have to deal

with traffic and could procrastinate with no worries.

If you could have an exotic pet what would it be; would

you leash it at the park or just let it roam?

I would have an elephant, which I think would grow

to be too big for most parks.

If you were a champion of something what would

that something be?

Maybe ice skating.

If you were a person in the bible who would you

be and why?

I would probably want to be Paul because after his

life turned around, he became one of the most

influential people in the formation of most churches.

David Womack teaches children about music.

However, most of all, he puts music in the hearts of

children. He has been singing about Jesus and God and

love with children for over 17 years at Galloway

Children’s Center. Can you think of anything more

awesome? What about being greeted by hugs and

kisses and smiles EVERYTIME you walk into the door, or

just around the corner and back into a room? Mr.

David is the “rock star” at Galloway Children’s Center.

Our friends are so excited to get a touch or eye contact

or smile from Mr. David—and they have to show him every new shirt or pair of shoes

or boo‐boo. He connects with them every Tuesday and Thursday teaching them songs

and setting their voices and bodies free. Our children grow up believing everyone can

sing and dance and play an instrument.

When Mr. David plays the guitar or piano or drums—and sings with our youngest

babies (some as young as 8 weeks old), their eyes focus on him and their little bodies

start wiggling. And, oh my goodness, the crawlers start crawling and the toddlers

start toddling and dancing to the beat.
