Reflections
Speak with Love, or Practice Silence 10From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this ought not to
be so. 11Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and brackish water? 12Can
a fig tree, my brothers and sisters, yield olives, or a grapevine figs? No more can salt water
yield fresh.
James 3:10-12
Our lives have been overwhelmed with hostile and destructive language. The elections have cer-
tainly pulled this to the surface, but it is much more than just our politics. We live in a time when
disrespect, animosity, and bitterness are a common part of communication. The problem is that
this is upsetting, and we do not recognize the kind of damage that it does.
James speaks about people teaching as a form of “duplicating” themselves. Specifically, he felt that
very few individuals were demonstrating a type of faith that should be repeated or spread. In es-
sence, he said: “Don’t make more of you.” The source of their words was from selfish ambition,
bitter envy, and hostility. Words spoken in that fashion cannot accomplish anything positive. What
we don’t recognize, is that the animosity those words spread does not just harm us but harms our
children. It creates an environment of ongoing resentment and unforgiveness. The words that
come from people’s mouths continue to impact the world long after we’ve forgotten them.
Very few people are happy with the current climate of fear and hostility. It becomes increasingly
hard to speak words of love and forgiveness and to avoid our own defensiveness in the face of the
animosity. People are demanding to be heard but refusing to listen. There are many who want to
see their adversaries suffer but are unprepared for the same suffering coming back to them.
After the election, there will be a little less hostility in commercials. However, if we don’t commit
to making the source of all our conversations as coming from the knowledge of God, there won’t
be much improvement in the rest of the world. We can’t do anything about other people’s choices,
but we can decide to love Christ more than fighting and being reactive. We can decide to align our
hearts and words with the peace of Christ before we speak, or say nothing at all. We may end up
having a lot less to say, but it’s not like there’s a lot of listening right now anyway. When we do
speak, it will be something that can make a difference.
Peace,
Pastor Jack

Coming Up in Worship
11/4/2018 Love Abides. Communion
Sermon: "Where You Go..."
Theme: Real love commits to staying, abiding, and consistency rather than being condition-
al or based on appetites.
Purpose: The congregation will seek to develop consistency in commitments.
Scriptures: Ruth 1:1-18 Ruth promises to never abandon her mother-in-law in spite of loss
and hardship.
Mark 12:28-34 We love God and others with our whole selves.
Questions:
What does it mean to us to have meaningful and committed relationships? In what ways does our
commitment to Christ’s love affect the relationships of the people who are closest to us? How does
Jesus enable us to be healthier and stronger in our relationships with the people who are nearest
to us? What does it mean to love God with all our heart, mind, and strength? In what ways does
dedicating all of our love to God give us so much more love to give to the people who are near us?
11/11/2018
Sermon: "The Gift of Yourself"
Theme: In Christ we choose to be the gift of God, not for other people's benefit, but because
that is fulfilling for our lives.
Purpose: The congregation will consider their motivations behind being generous and seek
to know Christ more fully through their giving.
Scriptures: Hebrews 9:24-28 Christ offered the sacrifice of himself, which brings salva-
tion to all who are eagerly waiting on him.
Mark 12:38-44 The widow in her offering gives sacrificially.
Questions:
What does it mean for us to be faithful in generosity? What is the difference between giving out of
obligation and giving out of the joy of Christ’s love? What are the ways in which our religiosity
robs us of our enjoyment of the good things that God has given us? How has focusing on religiosity
and guilt caused us to be resentful and angry in our giving? What does it mean to give with joy and
celebration of the abundance in which God has blessed us? How is it that those who give freely are
the happiest and feel best about what they have received?
11/18/2018 Congregational Meeting to act on changing by-laws.
Sermon: "The Things that Will Last"
Theme: Our relationship with Christ and the kingdom of God will outlast anything else we
invest our time, energy, or life into.
Purpose: The congregation will evaluate how they use their time and energy.
Scriptures: Hebrews 10:11-25 In response to Jesus' sacrificial love, we gather to encourage
one another in love.
Mark 13:1-8 The disciples are warned that the grand buildings will fall, but the
Kingdom of God will stand.
Questions:
What are the things that we focus upon in order to feel stable and secure? In what ways do we de-
pend upon things that at times leave us feeling worried and unsure about the future? How do we
come to terms with our dependence on God for our safety and strength? In what ways can we
come to be confident and sure in God’s love for us? How do we come to draw strength and our
identity from the knowledge of God’s love for us and promise to care for us? How do we live in the
joy of knowing God’s constant care is our strength? How do we allow God to write the law on our
hearts and minds so that we may enjoy the blessings of God’s constant care?

11/25/2018
Sermon: "The Kingdom Without End"
Theme: God calls us to be in a relationship which is based on lasting through eternity and
with power beyond this world.
Purpose: The congregation will be committed to Christ's reign of peace rather than earthly
powers.
Scriptures: Revelation 1:4b-8 We live in the now-and-not-yet kingdom of God.
John 18:33-37 Jesus' kingdom is not of this world, but he is an everlasting
King.
Questions:
What does it mean for us to acknowledge Jesus as the supreme authority in our lives? Do we actu-
ally submit our lives to Christ’s direction or just want God to do things our way and prevent the
things we fear? What does it mean that Jesus is the source, beginning, and end of our lives? What
conflicts do we experience between submitting to Christ’s direction over our choices, and craving
to receive the benefits and pleasures of the world? Are we willing to trust God with giving direc-
tion and meaning to our lives?
Coming Up in Worship
We had a wonderful evening
sharing hospitability with our
community at the Trunk or Treat
on Halloween Night. It was an
amazing opportunity to have two
churches combine their efforts to
benefit the community.
The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints Fond du Lac
is expanding and is under con-
struction until March 2019. As a
result, the LDS church turned to us
– the “church across the street” to
have a combined Trunk or Treat. It
was the first time, with many more
to come, hopefully, that the annual
Trunk or Treat was hosted by both
churches. Adults and kids, in
costume, had fun, played games ,
followed by the best part - trunk or
treating! We had many elaborately
decorated vehicle "trunks" and
shared the candy, you so gener-
ously donated.
Thank you to everyone who made
this event an enormous success.

November 18 – Congregational Meeting 9:15am
We will have a congregational meeting Sunday, November 18th, at 9:15am. The meeting
will have two items of business: to vote on the changes in the by-laws, and to elect
members for the Nominating Committee for 2019.
The changes proposed will be formally mailed and will have the following items:
1. Paragraph 4 - we will move the annual meeting from January to June. This will allow
our congregation to look ahead, to what Christ is calling us to do in the coming year,
rather than looking backwards, focusing on what has already been accomplished. This
also frees us from having to prepare for the annual meeting in the middle of the many
other end-of-year activities.
Paragraph 5 - will be changed to reflect our election of Elders and Deacons. New
officer terms will now begin in July, rather that being aligned with the calendar year
(January – December). This will move elections from the Thanksgiving and Christmas
holidays, so that we will have better time for officers to be trained and prepared to
take their place in service to the church.
2. Paragraph 17 - the second change, will reduce the number of Elders on Session from
12 to 9. This will allow us to develop stronger leadership in other areas of the church. The
role of Elders will be to focus on developing the mission and direction of the church, ena-
bling others to use their gifts more fully. To accommodate these changes, the quorum of
Session Meetings will be set at 50% of the current members of session, so that there will
be no confusion moving forward.
We will have a Session Forum on November 11th, 2018 at 9:15 in the Parlor to review
these changes and answer any questions. We look forward to seeing these changes bring
about improvements in our work and ministry together as Christians – Serving, Learning
and Loving.

The First Presbyterian Church
Alternative Gift Fair is an easy and
meaningful way to bypass the
annual stress of holiday shopping
and “stuff” accumulation, while
honoring friends and relatives
with donations to causes that fit in
their values. What’s more, the
Alternative Gift Fair provides
critical support to four ministries
important to the outreach and
mission of our church: Loaves and
Fishes, Presbyterian Mission
Agency, Presbyterian Disaster
Assistance, and Feed My Starving
Children. Giving alternative gifts
simplifies Christmas with gifts that
give hope to our community and
throughout the world.
HOW DOES IT WORK? Beginning
November 25 and running through
December 23, information will be
available, in the Narthex, high-
lighting the work of the four
organizations featured in this
year’s Alternative Gift Fair. To
shop for alternative gifts, you
decide on the amount you will give
and write one check. You will
receive a card to present to each
friend or family member that tells
about the gift given in their honor.
We are looking for volunteers to
help us with the Alternative Gift
Fair.
A signup sheet is available at the
Welcome Center in the Narthex.
Christmas Cantata -

December 2 - Advent Advent Reading and
Lighting of the Candles
In the Narthex , you will see a large
poster for Advent with a clip
board. The clipboard has the dates
and times for Advent readers and
Candle lighters.
The expectation of the Readers/
Candle Lighters, is to lead the con-
gregation in a reading appropriate
to the day (which will be provid-
ed) and light the correct number of
candles corresponding to the week
in Advent.
For example, the third week of Ad-
vent we celebrate Joy. The reading
would be about Joy and 3 candles
would be lit. Everyone is welcome
to participate - from individuals to
families, as we celebrate the
Christmas season.

The Usher Ministry
Ushers aren’t just door holders
and plate-passers. They serve a
spiritual role and therefore should
exhibit spiritual characteristics.
The fruit of the spirit found in Ga-
latians 5 is a solid guideline for a
good usher. This is not about per-
fection, but a heartfelt motive and
desire to live a life of a spirit-filled
believer.
Please click HERE to view the
ushering opportunities.
The Usher Checklist outlines usher
responsibilities. Please click HERE
to view the Usher Checklist.
A signup sheet is also available in
the office.
