THROUGH, BEYOND & STRETCHING FORWARD

October

Volume 18

Issue 10

World Mission Offering Advancing God’s kingdom on earth

At this time of year, International Ministries asks us to go beyond, and stretch forward to help support the work of ABC’s more than 100 mis-sionaries that are working in more than 70 countries. Through your financial gifts, you can serve some of the neediest of God’s family and bring the lost to Christ. After Jesus appeared to Peter and other disciples at the Sea of Galilee, transfigured after his resurrection, Jesus asked Peter three times if he loved him. Peter answered yes each time. All three times Jesus rejoined with “Feed my sheep” or “Take care of my sheep.” By the last query, Peter was getting annoyed or perhaps perplexed, “Yes, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus had certainly gotten Peter’s attention and Peter finally fully understood Jesus’ point: If you love me, you will show me by acting out that love to all those who are in need, lost, alone, imprisoned, ill, oppressed or without hope. We know that at that moment Peter, after earlier infamously denying Christ three times, made a full, irrevocable commitment to Jesus and was transformed at that moment. He went from hiding, frightened and confused, after Jesus’ crucifixion to courageously leading the fledgling church, giving his everything no matter what was to come. He understood that to say we love Jesus but not act Christ-like to all humanity is no love at all. He immediately stepped into the Kingdom of God. Evidently, he finally grasped Jesus’ teaching, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me…Truly I tell you, whatever you

did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Love is an action verb. When we at Brewster Baptist show up on Sunday mornings, or attend a Bible study, or give our time to church service and ministries, what is our goal? Is it to be fed, or to feed others? Both? Both are important. Yet, do we set before us the goal of being truly transformed by the words of Jesus (Romans 12:2) and stretching forward, to transform the lives and hearts of others? What does it mean to be trans-formed? We all generally understand the word as a whole, and it’s easy to understand the word “formed.” However, when we understand the prefix trans to mean beyond, it takes on a richness that we probably normally don’t think about. We are to be re-formed into a person beyond whom we were before. Another meaning of trans is through. For Christians, that means being changed through Jesus. We are to be reshaped into the image of Jesus. In fact, that is what we

call the Christ Mystery: just as he was transfig-ured, we are to expect to be transfigured also. That means, the transformation from the human to the divine, of death to life, of hate and fear into goodwill, mutual understanding and love. And such a change in us, from human to divine and so forth, is to take place now (2 Peter 1: 3 – 8)! --not when we pass from earthly life. This should be the first part of our goal: to be truly changed beyond whom we were yesterday

through the love Jesus has shown us. The second part of the same goal is to be transformational for Christ. We are to move beyond ourselves and outside our normal patterns of life, breaking thorough those things that tend to separate us, one from another. Real life in Christ, the transfigured life, intentionally goes beyond barriers to reach out to others, just as Christ so wondrously reached out for you and me. We are to stretch forward to the goal of loving God with all we are and have, and to pour ourselves out as an offering of love and mercy to the rest of God’s humanity, no matter what. As we come together in the coming weeks to support the sacrificial work of International Ministries to lift up those in great need, shall we remember Jesus’ words, “Do you love me? Feed my sheep.” Please be willing to give all you can and say, “Yes, Lord, I will care for your sheep.” Be willing to go beyond your former giving, stretching forward, and through Christ, be transformed.

Pursuing Peace by Marilyn Raatz

On the Road to Africa

Just a Little Goes a Long, Long Way --7716 miles! I appeal you to give generously to the World Mission Offering. Please help me and/or other mission-aries be the hands, feet and voice of Christ to a hurting world. Yesterday it came to me that if every adult member of BBC pledged $10.00 a month to me to do God’s ministry of peacebuilding, I could pack my bags and be on my way to Africa! I know some members can’t do that, but many others could do it for them. A $20.00 monthly pledge is about the cost of a single meal at most restaurants on the Cape. Pray about it. Please. A little can go 7716 miles—all the way to Africa. Speaking of Africa, I was honored to attend the Baptist World Alliance Congress in Durbin, South Africa in July. Before leaving that beautiful but deeply challenged country, I flew to Cape Town for meetings at the Cape Town Baptist Seminary. Please pray with me that one day soon I will be living and ministering there, teaching a bright group of seminarians how to take Jesus’ pre-cepts of peacemaking into their hearts and to be builders of peace in their future areas of influence. Please pray that God use me in this way. I’m thrilled to write that my calendar is jam packed with speaking opportunities from now through October. Of course, that is be-cause International Ministries World Mission Offering is being col-lected at this time and many churches are highlighting IM mis-sionaries. Recently I preached and fellowshipped, making some terrific new friends, at Community Baptist in Medford and First Baptist in Fall River. It’s exciting when a church is on fire for God’s mis-sions around the world! Invited to Metro New York City North to do an envisioning workshop in early October, I am prepar-ing for that all day event where we will use the process of Appreciative Inquiry to set the course for Baptist Women Missions. This group has had an active and effective past and have asked me to help guide them into new and creative projects for the future. Wow! Also in October I will be preaching at Trinity Church in Northborough, Central Baptist in Westfield, speaking elsewhere too, and best of all I’ll be preaching at BBC October 25th. I look forward to eve-ry opportunity to speak about peace and biblical justice because that is my ministry here in the States as well as in Africa.

New Friends at Cape Town Seminary

Our sabbatical began on August 24 when Jill and I drove Greg back to college in Cambridge for his sophomore year. At the end of the week we headed to Pennsylvania to move Nathan in for his senior year. It is hard for us to believe the years are going by so quickly. One of the things we’re looking forward to during our sabbatical is spending time with family and friends. While in PA we enjoyed being with Jill’s parents, her brother David and his wife Cindy, and Jill’s Aunt Jane. We also had a very nice lunch that needs an introduction. On Christmas Eve, 2010 I told a story in my message about Bennett and Vivian Levin who initiated an effort to take wounded servicemen and women from Walter Reed Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Hospital to the Army/Navy football game in Philadelphia. They did so on private rail cars that composed a train called The Liberty Limited. Well a couple months ago I received a lovely letter from Bennett stating that someone had emailed him my sermon and how touched and moved he was that I shared their story. It turns out that Bennett and Vivian live just a few miles from Jill’s parents and we had a delightful lunch with them on August 29 in PA. On Sunday, August 30 we attended worship at Jill’s home church, Newtown United Methodist Church where we were mar-

ried 26 years ago. On our return to the Cape, we detoured into New York City for a visit with Jill’s Japanese exchange sister Kumiko who recently moved with her family to Washington Heights NYC. Jill and Kumiko first met over 30 years when Jill was a senior in high school and they both spent time living in one another’s homes. Then on Tuesday, September 1, we stopped in Boston and had lunch with our friends Adam and Kristen Warren. Adam stayed with us in the summer of 2007 when he pitched for the Brewster Whitecaps in the Cape Cod Baseball League. He now pitches for the New York Yankees and it’s always nice to get together with them. One of the things we talk about at BBC is the value of being in a small group. Our small group finished doing a series on Soul Keeping by John Ortberg this summer and we had a get together at our cottage in Maine for 48 hours. We all had a wonderful time. On September 12th Jill and I drove from Maine to a family reunion in Vermont with my mother’s two surviving siblings and other relatives including my nephew Pietro and his wife Stephanie and their baby son Luca who we got to see for the first time. On the way to Vermont from Maine we stopped in Manchester, New Hampshire and visited our friend Father John Bucchino who is the priest at Blessed Sacrament Parish. In 1988-89, Jill worked with Father John at Saint Francis House, a day shelter for the homeless in Boston. We hadn’t seen each other in many years and it was great to catch up. On September 17 we drove to Connecticut and spent the afternoon with Jill’s brother Andrew and his wife Kate and their one-year-old Sam who is a lot of fun. So far we’ve already been in nine states and connected with lots of family and friends during our sabbatical! One book I’ve read is Gilead, a Pulitzer Prize winning novel told from the perspective of a dying Con-gregational Minister who is writing to his seven-year-old son for him to read when he’s older. It is very well written and a thoughtful reflection from a man at the end of his life. Jill and I both read The Relational Soul by Richard Plass and James Cofield. This was required reading for the spiritual retreat we attended in Sharon, MA on September 22-24. We also had questions to answer and some writing to do in advance of that gathering. Following that retreat we flew to Seattle to where my dad lives, but since the deadline for the Beacon was September 21, I’ll fill you in our retreat and trip out west in next month’s Beacon. Life always includes the unexpected and the second half of the sabbatical may not go as I initially planned. On Day Two, August 25, while playing in a baseball game at Eldredge Park in Orleans I made a couple throws from shortstop that gave me a fair amount of discomfort which led to a doctor’s visit. I have a torn labrum and other issues that are going to necessitate surgery on my right shoulder on October 15 at Cape Cod Hospital. At least I’ll be able to have this taken care of and to do physical therapy while I’m not trying to carry out my usual duties at BBC. I will appreciate your prayers on the 15th that the surgery goes very well. I’m grateful for the gift of a sabbatical, but after worshiping elsewhere for three Sundays so far, we

“Old Time is still a-flying…”

It’s October! Holiday Fair Time! Time to get going and turn your talents to thinking Christmas gift thoughts. Let your imagination run riot. Handmade items are high on a Fair shopper’s list so the Craft Shoppe needs many kinds of handmade items. Bird houses, quilted placemats, Christmas tree ornaments, decorated wooden items, bookends—anything different, clever and handmade. Fall’s cooler weather is the time to think about straightening up the attic, or the basement, or the garage. Attack the attic, go to it in the garage! Those extra coffee mugs, dessert plates, vases, that good-as-new ‘whatzit” your great-auntie gave you…if it’s clean and it works it will surely become another man’s Attic Treasure. But, please, no clothing, defunct TVs, computers or large appliances or furniture. After all that hard work you deserve a break! Put your feet up—read a good book—and then put that book in the pile set aside for the Book Shoppe. Old, new, fiction, non-fiction—books for coffee tables, books for kids, all are welcome as are reference books and DVDs and CDs —but please, no out-dated encyclopedias. Dealers flock to the Jewelry Shoppe, so cull your collection and make it a bright spot with the baubles and bangles you never wear any more. Old or new, retro or avant garde—all needed, all welcomed. The Farm Stand is another bright spot—a place to show off sparkling rows of jams, jellies, relishes and salsa. But any good and tasty thing you can think of would be welcome. Ideas like your own version of trail mix, or a mix to spice up a dip, even a pretty jar full of the ingredients to make into your favorite muffin or cookie recipe. Two of the most popular items at the Farm Stand are BBC’s Peanut Brittle and Fabulous Five Minute Fudge. Look for the recipes in this issue. Gift Baskets are projects that inspire dedicated shoppers. Pick a theme for your basket and begin collecting nonperishable items to carry it out. You’ll find a list of suggestions in this issue plus a form to attach to your gift basket items and some ideas for filling one on the table in the lobby. Let the Gift Basket Team pick the container basket for you and wrap it into a festive and irresistible package. “The best of the best” is the motto of the Bake Shoppe and the pies, cakes, breads, bars and cookies produced by BBC bakers are all that and more. Did we mention cookies? Christmas cookies, decorated cookies, smallish cookies…many, many are needed to fill those holiday-decorated

coffee cans you’ve been saving for the Fair. Fill your freezer with your favorite recipes to be ready for Thursday and Friday before the Fair when you can bring them to church. What’s better under the Christmas tree than something warm and cuddly? No, not a puppy—something even better. Something handmade! The Knit Shoppe can fill that Christmas dream with a supply of all kinds of knitted fashions—Aran Isle sweaters, baby things, boot socks, lovely shawls, mit-tens and ski caps. Time to finish up your project for the Knit Shoppe and then, perhaps, start a new one. The Silent Auction is the really BIG one at the Fair and one that few shoppers can resist. Local merchants are very supportive, but hopefully you will find something rare and unusual to donate such as a collectible or antique from your collection. Gift certificates are popular, too—dinner for two at your favorite restaurant, an afternoon at sea aboard your boat or a party fishing boat, a hairdo at your beauty parlor, a free lawn mowing, a pair of theatre or symphony tickets. Think of it as a gift that you would enjoy receiving and your donation will fill the bill! You’ll find a form in this issue that you can attach to your Silent Auction donation and on the table in the lobby. For the past ten years the proceeds from the Holiday Fair have been donated to charities and non-profits that benefit Cape Codders. A total of more than $265,000 has been donated in that time. Proceeds from this year’s Fair will benefit the Homeless Prevention Council, Orleans, which assists families on the lower Cape in danger of becoming homeless; the Nauset Youth Alliance, Brewster, which provides an after-school program; and Gosnold-Health’s Guiding Good Choice program providing drug education across the Cape for middle school age students and their families.

Many BBC members have been working for months making ready for Holiday Fair day,

Saturday, November 7. Many willing hands are needed to produce the outstanding merchandise the Fair offers to shoppers—and many willing workers are needed for behind the scenes work, and on the day of the Fair.

If you would like to help, or have a question here are some folks who have the answers: Attic Treasures: Diane Jones and Sarah Kemp, Bake Shoppe: Sonnie Hall and Leslie Hannigan.

Peanut Brittle Recipe

1 ½ tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. vanilla 1 cup water 3 tbsp. butter or margarine

1 lb. shelled, unroasted peanuts* 1 tsp. water 1 ½ cups sugar 1 cup light corn syrup Oven at 200° F. Butter 2 cookie sheets 15 ½ x 12” and keep warm in oven. Mix baking

soda, 1 tsp. water and vanilla. Set aside. Mix sugar, 1 cup water and corn syrup in a 3 quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until temperature reaches 240° on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water. Stir in butter and peanuts. Cook, stirring, until temperature reaches 300° or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water separates into hard, brittle threads. The whole process will take about 30 minutes. (Watch carefully so that mixture does not burn). Immediately remove from heat and stir in baking soda mixture until light and foamy. Immediately pour the mixture onto each cookie sheet about ¼ inch thick. (The baking soda makes the mixture harden so you need to do this step before it hardens. Cool completely, at least 1 hour. Break into pieces.

*NOTE: Roasted peanuts do not work as well as unroasted. Please bring to church either on Thursday or Friday, November 5 or 6, to be divided into sellable portions.
