CHURCH FAMILY MEETING
The Trustees would like to sit down and talk with
our church family after both services on January
14th. They wish to update us on the decisions they
are making that impact all of us.
BEING MORTAL……
Our country is having a debate about health care. When I hear politicians argue about health care, I am easily
confused. Health insurance is valuable. I don’t know how a person without insurance can go to a doctor or hospital
without incurring debt. Let me share some thoughts.
As a middle class person, I received an education. I pay attention to physical fitness and food because I want
to inhabit a body that enables me to be active. So far, this body has been mostly healthy. But that is not the case with
everyone, and that is not a promise for my future.
Here are things I think about. What is my responsibility to the one who suffers through no fault of her own?
What is my responsibility to the person raised poor? The playing field is not level.
My insurance pays for an annual physical. Without you (the church), I would not have this benefit. I recently
learned my cholesterol was high. A prescription resolved that issue. I get a physical because the insurance you
provide enables me to do that. Some must choose between a physical or a car payment; a prescription or rent. Who
am I to judge the parent who pays for diapers before a physical?
As I tend to my faith each day, I also tend to my health. I didn’t like to hear the doctor tell me (as he did!)
that I put on four pounds. But as I know I can control certain habits, I am aware of other issues within me that are
overpowering. Moreover no two human are alike.
As Jesus had compassion, we are called to be compassionate. Some struggle with mental health. I get out of
bed without thinking. That’s not an obvious decision for everyone. Why are some susceptible to colds and others
not? Why does learning come so easy to some, and for others it’s just the opposite?
Humans are mortal. We are prone to a wide array of challenges, sufferings, diseases, insecurities, blemishes,
sins, handicaps, short-comings, limitations, and ailments common to each human being. But we are also people of
faith, blessed with hope, courage and the knowledge this life is not lived in vain.
My reason for writing this is to express my thanks for health insurance. That quarterly bill that comes to
church is huge; I do not take it for granted. People argue whether insurance is a right or a privilege. Insurance for me
is a gift I wish everyone could receive. Health insurance is more than a fringe benefit; it is an expression of respect
and concern.
Years ago, a woman had hemorrhaged for 12 years. How she survived, I don’t know. The story says that she
endured much under many physicians, and had spent all she had. Ugh. She came to Jesus as an anonymous spectator.
She proposed to herself that if she could just touch the fringe of his garment, she would be healed.
And that’s what happened. She touched his garment. And she was healed. No one noticed except Jesus who
said, ‘someone touched me.’ When she acknowledged that it was her, Jesus called her his daughter and he said that
her faith had made her well.
No one charged her for that healing. It was a gift. No one that day debated about who deserves health care.
There was just this beautiful moment when a woman stopped bleeding so she can tend now to the rest of her life. Is
that too much to hope for?

MARCH 2018
AND HOW ARE THE CHILDREN?
Recently I read an article from Rev. Traci Blackmon, who serves one of our denominational officers. Her
position is the Executive Minister of Justice & Local Church Ministries. She speaks both to us, a members of the
United Church of Christ, and to those outside the church - politicians and other leaders in society - taking a stand on
issues that, as people of God, we ought to be concerned about in our world. In the article I read, Rev. Blackmon talks about the Maasai tribe of East Africa. Throughout their history, and
into today, they have been known as both fierce warriors and people of great intelligence. When we greet one another, we typically say “Hello” or “How are you?” But the traditional greeting of the
Maasai warriors to one another, still used commonly today, is "Kasserian Engeri," which means "And how are the
children?" The traditional response - even for warriors who have no children of their own - is to say, "All the
children are well." For the Maasai people, all the children are well means that peace and safety prevail; the priorities
of protecting the young and the powerless are in place; that the Maasai people have not forgotten their reason for
being and their responsibilities to care for the youngest and most vulnerable among them. As a church, here at Grace Congregational United Church of Christ we too strive to look out for the well-
being of the youngest among us. How are the children, here at Grace? Are they valued as ones who are created in
love by God, and welcomed by Jesus? Are they being educated? Are their needs being met? Are they included as
part of our community? But we know it is not enough just to look after the children within our walls. What about at home? What
about at the schools? What about up in Green Bay or down in Milwaukee? And how are the children? Rev. Blackmon reminds us of this question especially in light of the school shooting in Florida, just a few
days ago at the time of my writing. In the wake of yet another act of horrible violence within the walls of a public
school, we must continue asking, How are the children? As I listened to the news this morning, there were reports of children and youth in Florida, Washington DC,
and other places across the country, taking action. Participating in student walkouts to protest the violence, and
speaking to congressional and other government leaders at both the state and national level, urging them to take
action against this violence. I know that looking for solutions to these problems are complicated. There is no easy
answer. And yet, our children - the ones being personally affected by violence in our schools, or “practice” drills of
how to respond to future violence, or anxiety over what might happen in a place where they are supposed to be safe -
our children who are daily being affected by this, are speaking out. Are we ready to listen?
CONFIRMATION UPDATES

Each year your Mission and Outreach Board presents a second-mile, Lenten
offering for you to contribute to. Do you feel blessed? We hope we have discerned
two agencies worthy of your generosity. Do you recognize a need to contribute to
the needs of others? We feel we have two causes that will inspire your generosity.
A mission close to home is the Haven. A mission further away is the Morija
Theological School.
The close at home mission is The Haven. The Haven is a shelter for men located
in Manitowoc. (Hope House serves Women and Families-----and for obvious reasons cannot accommodate single men.)
The Haven provides transitional housing and education to men who have fallen on hard times. The entire twenty-four
hour staff at the Haven is paid. Though benevolent individuals and service clubs made regular donations to The Haven; it
is heavily dependent upon the churches of Manitowoc County for support. Why churches? Church members recognize
that Jesus came among us as a Stranger; that he came among us to serve; and that he inspired his followers to care for the
least of his children. Christians, by our very nature, feel called, inspired and even obligated to rise to causes like The
Haven.
The further away mission is Morija Theological School. The Morija Theological School is located about two blocks
from the residence of Mark Behle, a missionary of our church who has twice visited Two Rivers. The Morija Theological
School trains men and women to become pastors and evangelists for the Lesotho Evangelical Church. The training lasts
two years. Upon graduation, they will serve churches though-out the reaches of Lesotho----places where Internet, phone,
and electricity have not yet reached. Pastors in the more remote areas are paid an extra stipend. The salary of a pastor
serving the Lesotho Evangelical Church is $75 a month. Last year your endowment board purchased 50 copies of
“Unlocking the Bible”, a biblical commentary that was given to each of their students.
HABITAT SUPPORTER
First Lutheran Church, located at 521 N. Eighth St. in Manitowoc, will host the Fourteenth Annual Spring Chili
Warm-up & Bake Sale on Saturday, March 3, 2018 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. All proceeds will benefit Manitowoc
County Habitat for Humanity.
This year, the menu will include chili, dessert and a beverage. Hot dogs will be available as a substitute for chili
dinners. The price for tickets is $6.00 for an adult and $3.00 for children under 12. A one quart jar of chili for takeout
will be available throughout the event and will sell for $7.00.
Habitat, in partnership with First Lutheran Church, is also
soliciting baked goods for this event. We are looking for sheet cakes,
cookies and bars of all kinds to accompany dinner orders. Any other
baked goods - bread, fruit pies, cupcakes, etc. (no cream desserts) --
will be sold in the Fireside Hall. If you can get a group of your
members to provide baked goods it would be deeply appreciated.
Baked goods can be dropped off at First Lutheran on Friday, March 2
between Noon and 3:00 p.m. or Saturday, March 3 after 8:30 a.m.
Again, thank you for all your cooperation and the efforts you
will be putting forth. If you would like to help at the event or have any
questions or suggestions, please call.

FAITH CONNECTIONS ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL
Our new Adult Sunday School class, Faith Connections, will be meeting on the first Sunday of the Month
(March 4). Our conversations will make connections between our faith and the things that are happening in our
everyday lives and the wider world.
We will meet between services, at 9:30am in the Youth Room (off the Fellowship Hall, next to the
Kitchen). We will have coffee, tea, and donuts! If there is something faith-related that you have always had questions about, or an issue from the “real world”
that you wish the church would talk more about, this might be a good topic for future conversations! Please talk to
Pastor Colie.
FROM THE DIACONATE…
The Diaconate is pleased to welcome new members in service: Shelby Bohman, Zak Peterson, Colton Rabida, Mary
Wallace, and Joshua Willis. The purpose of the Diaconate is to assist our pastors in the worship life of our church. In that
capacity the diaconate members prepare and serve communion, and recruit ushers, TAC servers, liturgists, and greeters.
The Diaconate also promotes the spiritual life and fellowship of our members. On February 18th the Diaconate served a
brunch between services to the visiting Pine Haven Men’s Choir. The Diaconate served TAC after the community Lenten
service at Grace Congregational Church on February 21st . Diaconate members volunteered to accompany Pastor Kim in
delivering communion to shut-ins in late February and early March, and assist in monthly worship services at Atrium
Acute Care and Meadowview Assisted Living
.NEWS FROM THE CHURCH CABINET
Our Financial Secretary and Treasurer have informed us that 19 “giving units” have responded so far to the appeal
made by our Stewardship committee to close the projected 2018 budget shortfall. Together, these gifts and new or
increased pledges total $5746. This reduces the projected shortfall by about ¼ to $17,601. We thank these generous
givers. It is not too late to join the effort to balance the budget.
The Cabinet approved the nomination of Katie VerHaagh to fill the vacant 3 year term on the Board of Christian
Education. We are grateful for her willingness to serve, along with those who were elected to positions at the Annual
Meeting. We will dedicate and formally install these new leaders at both worship services on February 25. Doug Charles
will be the new chairperson for the Board of Mission and Outreach, Brian Van Ells will lead the Diaconate, and Jim
Miller will chair the Associate Pastor-Parish committee. Kelly Ruhbusch will continue to chair the Board of Christian
Education and Mickey Veleke the Trustees.
The Cabinet also voted to select 3 to 5 members to review and possibly revise the church constitution, to better align
with current practice in a couple of areas. If you wish to help with this process, contact Moderator Don DeBruyn. Any
suggested changes will be subject to approval by the membership at a future congregational meeting.
GENERATION G
Wednesday evenings from 7-8pm the high school youth group meets in the youth room off the fellowship hall.
During the season of Lent, our high school youth will be studying the epistle of Galatians. Every Wednesday night for six
weeks we will break down a chapter at a time discussing the historical context of how the early church navigated the
promises from Abraham, the laws from Moses and the grace that comes through our faith in Christ Jesus. We will hear the
struggles felt by Paul, the apostles, and the early church as they struggled to balance different roots and the freedom of
faith in Jesus.
We will be selling Seroogy Chocolate's just in time for Easter! Orders will be turned in by March 11th so that we
can have the chocolate here at church by Palm Sunday (March 25).
Easter Sunday from 9am-10:15am we will be hosting our annual Easter Breakfast! Allow our high school youth to
make pancakes, scrambled eggs, breakfast sausages, juice, coffee and milk-- we'll even do the dishes! The cost is $8 for
adults and $5 for children 10 and under.
*Money raised by our high school youth group goes into the Generation G account. This money supports retreats,
sends mail to college and military personnel, and our youth donate a portion to Relay for life.
Generation G will be taking April 4th off for Spring break but we will be back to our regularly scheduled youth
group April 11th from 7-8.
