April 2019 Hayshire United Church of Christ

Good Friday - Easter Worship

Friday, April 19th - 6:30pm

On Good Friday, we will gather to remember the final days of Jesus and his

Disciples. We begin with a simple meal and communion around a community table.

Following the meal, we will journey to the sanctuary to hear the Good Friday

dramatization "When the Son's Light Failed." We will hear from selected women who

were greatly affected by Christ's presence in their lives.

Sunday, April, 21 - 6:30am - Springettsbury Township Park

An Easter Sunrise service is being planned this year.

Sunrise on Easter Sunday is at 6:51am. We will meet at

6:30am to greet the risen Son with scripture, song and

praise.

10:30am Traditional Easter Service we will gather for an

uplifting service of word and sacrament in our sanctuary

as we celebrate Christ’s resurrection.

A sign-up sheet for Good Friday is on the bulletin

board in the gathering area in order to plan for seating

and supper. Call Lisa Young - 717-870-7279 with any

questions.

April will be another busy month. We will talk

about April showers, insects, safety and plants.

The Pre-K classes will continue on their letters

and numbers. The 3 year old classes will also be

focusing on their numbers and reviewing colors

and shapes. The classes will be having their

Easter parties including an Easter Egg Hunt.

It is hard to believe we will have only one

month until graduation.

Registration continues to go well and we are

hoping to get more children registered for Summer

Fun.

We are ready to have sun and warmer

temperatures.

Pastoral Reflection

We are half-way through Lent and Easter is

fast approaching. Spring is finally making itself

known, as well, with signs of new life popping

up all over the place: The sun is getting

warmer, robins hopping in the yard and flowers

poking their fresh green heads up through the

ground... The earth is slowly reawakening and

stretching as new life flows back across the land

– renewing and rejuvenating each of us. It’s a

time of pausing to remember that life started in

a beautiful garden…

This is your garden, Creator God,

a thing of beauty

beyond understanding,

a poem that is being written

not in words

but in colors,

wind's whisper,

soaring bird,

snowdrop's petal,

gentle rain,

sunlight's warmth,

This is your garden, Creator God,

A thing of beauty

beyond our understanding

As we slide into the busyness of Spring and

all the things we can get done now that the

weather is warmer and the days are longer, be

sure to remember to pause and smell the

flowers, to feel the warmth of the sun on your

face, listen to the birds sing, and to pause and

remember that you are wonderfully and

beautifully made just like all of creation. This

spring, pause to think how you will bloom and

flourish where you are this year. In what new

ways is God calling you to a renewed and

reinvigorated life?

Blessing and Peace,

Pastor Brenda

Getting to know you….

Emmanuel UCC has been worshiping with

us for two months now and we are very glad to

have them here on Sunday mornings. Our

original sanctuary is filled once again with the

sounds of worship and praise.

You may have noticed that our upper lot

near the kitchen has been full on Sunday

mornings. Our Emmanuel friends are parking

there as it is the closest entrance to the red

doors that they are using to welcome their

congregation and visitors. Hayshire folks still

have use of both lots – it’s great to see the spots

filled once again.

As you come into the bigger lot, you may

notice the addition of a sandwich board sign

announcing Emmanuel UCC worshiping here

now and welcoming all to their worship service.

We have enjoyed various opportunities to get

to know our friends from Emmanuel as they

have joined us for our Ash Wednesday Service,

with Rev. Rick Pulling sharing in leading

worship. They joined us in welcoming and

hosting our sister churches for the first York

Association Mid-week Lenten Service of 2019 on

Wednesday, March 13th, and we look forward to

sharing breakfast with them on Easter morning

at 9am. It is a joy to have the opportunity to

better get to know our friends from Emmanuel

UCC. Please come out on Easter morning to

welcome them as we celebrate our Risen Lord

once again.

We are looking into purchasing another

shed to store the tables, donated by Faith

UCC, along with a new grill.

We are in the process of getting the floors

redone in the classrooms.

August 24th will be our 1st annual car

show.

From your President---

On March 14th, Vernon Baum, one of the

most respected and beloved individuals many of

us have ever known passed away. It is

comforting to know that Vernon and Phyllis had

so many wonderful years to share together. I am

blessed to have been able to spend valuable time

with both of them.

The combination of Vernon and Phyllis

played a major role in getting my spiritual

journey started. The respect and admiration I

had for the Baums helped me to decide that I

definitely wanted to be part of the Hayshire

family. l will forever be grateful to both of them.

Vernon lived a long and rewarding life. He

had a positive influence on so many people who

were fortunate enough to know him. Some of my

fondness memories of Vernon involved the

Sunday Morning Journey Class. When I first

attended the Journey Class, we had both

pastors and lay people leading the class. I

remember being asked if I wanted to help

facilitate the class. How could I possibly lead a

class with 3 or 4 pastors attending with my

limited biblical knowledge? Probably the biggest

reason I decided to help out was because I knew

Vernon would be sitting close by. If I was

struggling or needed someone to re-energize the

conversation, I could count on Vernon. He

always knew when to speak and his words of

wisdom were greatly appreciated by the entire

class.

I remember the second class that I was to

facilitate. It was a particularly difficult lesson

that I could not comprehend. I asked Vernon if

he would help me understand the lesson. I

ended up spending over two hours with Vernon

that afternoon with most of our discussion not

involving the lesson. I will always cherish the

time I spent with Vernon. He had a great sense

of humor and was quite knowledgeable on many

topics. With my apologies to Phyllis, had the

Washington Redskins ended up playing the

Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl, I would

have been a huge Redskins fan for that

particular game. I know how much Vernon

would have enjoyed watching his Redskins beat

Phyllis' beloved Steelers.

Another fond memory I had of Vernon

involved his sermons. Phyllis would be out in

Cleveland helping the National Conference and

Vernon would fill in. The next Sunday we would

be having lunch and Dick Lloyd would tell

Phyllis that Vernon's sermon lasted 22 minutes.

Phyllis would always comment that she told

Vernon to keep it short. We would all have a

good laugh. We knew Vernon's sermons were

going to exceed 20 minutes. I always enjoyed

listening to Vernon. I could see and feel his

passion. Plus, I knew what he was going to

preach was going to be worthwhile.

Another memory was the only time some of

us ever witnessed Vernon being visibly upset. It

was following a Wednesday night Lenten service

back in the days when the congregations would

worship at their respective churches while the

pastors rotated. The message provided that

night was inappropriate and Vernon showed his

displeasure. Vernon was always so careful with

his words, but that night Vernon couldn't hold

back his thoughts. To see Vernon so fired up

was quite unusual. He was always so mild

mannered. In over 10 years of knowing Vernon,

it was the only time I saw him upset. Truly

amazing.

We love you Vernon. You will be missed, but

never forgotten. Heaven got a great one.

Faith Climate Action Week

Why Faith and Climate

Change? All of the major faith

traditions emphasize stewardship of the earth and

all creation for current and future generations. A

unified voice of communities of faith responding

with moral clarity on the urgency of addressing

climate change can be a powerful advocacy group

for change.

Why Trees? Trees not only have symbolic

importance in many sacred texts but they have

numerous practical purposes, as well. We each

inhale 35 lbs.of oxygen daily, all from plants and

we require 7 trees to convert the carbon dioxide

we exhale into oxygen. Asthma and other chronic

respiratory ailments are devastating, especially to

children, in many urban areas. Trees in the US

alone remove hundreds of thousands of tons of

pollutions from the air. Trees save energy by

shading homes in the summer, releasing cooling

moisture into the air, and providing windbreaks in

the winter. They enhance water quality by

filtering and storing water because they act to

prevent excess storm runoff. Studies have shown

that planting trees increases property values,

improves recovery times for hospital patients,

encourages serenity and relaxation, reduces

violence, and increases pride in local communities.

Trees are critical in combating climate disruption

by removing carbon dioxide from the

air, storing carbon in the wood, and

releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.

“Do not damage the earth or the sea or the trees.” (Revelation 7:3)

Community Outreach

The Community Outreach committee of the

York Association has asked each of the 28 UCC

churches to contribute 1 reusable grocery store

bag filled with specific items to take to the York

Association Celebration banquet on April 28th.

They will then be presented to Mr Sandy’s

Helping Hands in May. Barb Crum will be posting

the items to be donated on the bulletin board in

the gathering area.

Thank you in advance for your help.
