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.

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.
