CROW’S NEST Vol. XV, No. 18 www.guilfordcollegeumc.org December 2, 2015

Tom’s Note…. Bill Henson used to tell the story about the city workers in Hamilton, Ontario who were trimming tree limbs when they discovered a nest of robins on one of the limbs. They decided they would trim around that particular limb. After the little robins flew away, the city crew came back and took down the limb where the robins had nested. When they looked into the nest, they found a raged, soiled piece of paper with some barely legible words: “We trust in the Lord our God.” Bill would ask the question: Who saved the birds? Who saves us?” I know we live in a volatile world right now. With a 24/7 news-cycle sharing everything taking place around the planet it is easy to get discouraged and depressed. The darkness of the season almost feels like the darkness that is attempting to kidnap our souls. It was into a dark time such as this that the prophet Isaiah spoke: “The people who walked in darkness will see a great light; on them the light will shine and they will rejoice before God as people who dance with joy at the harvest.” I am not advocating ignoring realities and putting our head in the sand. We should be terribly concerned about the darkness that is in our world right now, and do all we can to alleviate the suffering in our world. But as Children of God we have the hope of the UPPER STORY to cling to. It was into the darkness of Israel that Jesus came with the light and promise of God, and the world was never the same. Our hope and promise is that God will do it again. Could you use a little light these days? Solomon writes these words in Psalm 42: “Why should our hearts be sad, and yield to the world’s despair? Our God is faithful and true; his love is without boundaries; so I will put my hope in God and praise him all my days.” This Advent/Christmas season is a time to rekindle the light, the hope, and the promise of God. If you find the darkness of the world creeping into your soul – let me suggest that you raise your eyes from our LOWER STORY and follow Isaiah’s advice to look up to God’s UPPER STORY. If God can save a nest of birds, he can surely save us too. It is in that hope and promise that we rejoice. It is in God’s Light that we will find our way through the present darkness into the light of God’s eternal promise. See you in worship this Sunday, where we can share our light and joy together!

OUR ADVENT SERIES LEADING TO CHRISTMAS November 29 – HOPE REVEALED December 20 – LOVE REVEALED

We all experience times of failure like King Many say “Jesus is the reason for the David, but with God’s grace and forgiveness season.” Not true. We are the reason we can be restored and the future can be Jesus came into the world. We are the bright ones he created out of love to share an eternal relationship. This day we recall God’s love and the many ways we can

express that love to one another. December 6 – PEACE REVEALED

Solomon takes over for his father, and leads the nation with great wisdom. A time of peace is experienced like no other. Could a little godly wisdom bring peace to our time? December 24 – LOVE RECEIVED

Make sure to join us for one of the December 13 – JOY REVEALED special services to make your

We take a break from THE STORY until celebration complete and meaningful January. We will gather for a family brunch 5:00 – Children’s Service at 9:30 – and a great service of Music at 7:00 – Informal Family Service 10:30. Special musicians and soloists will join 11:00 – Traditional Communion Service our choir to celebrate the JOY of Christmas. You will not want to miss this great time to

renew your heart and soul.

extended to Lib Joyce who joined GCUMC on

November 15th. Lib’s address is 4100 Well Springs

Dr., Unit 1305, Greensboro, NC, 27410, phone #336-

545-5737.

All the offering we receive this Christmas Eve will go to support missions around Greensboro and around the world. Half of what is given will go to furnish the school we are helping to build in

Kinanduba, Kenya. Construction is well underway on the school our church has funded already; now we need a final push to get the desks, books and supplies that will make it fully functional. The other recipient is Community Housing Solutions. CHS works to make homes warmer, safer, drier and more accessible for families who couldn’t afford to have the work done otherwise. We plan to partner with CHS to build two wheelchair ramps in 2016.

From the Travis Hicks Family Dear Friends and Family,

It’s Thanksgiving weekend 2015, and we want to take a few minutes to thank you for your support over the past year.

Almost a year ago our precious 12 year-old Lilli was diagnosed with AML leukemia, and she spent the better part of four months

in the hospital for chemotherapy that brought the cancer into remission. Lilli has had increasingly better monthly check-ups

since wrapping up her treatments in April, and we pray that her excellent health continues.

Our family was devastated a year ago, but in our time of devastation you and hundreds – if not thousands – of people came

together to surround our family with love, prayers, and support. The support came in many forms – too many to list on a single

page – including fundraisers, financial donations, cards, gifts, meals, groceries, hospital visits, home visits, yard and house work,

help with our other two kids, and invaluable help so that we could stay employed and keep our health insurance. Thank you for

being a part of this incredible community of support that renewed our faith in humanity.

Since Lilli finished her treatments we have slowly gotten back to “”normal” as a family. Lilli made it back to the last two

weeks of 6th grade in the spring and then started 7th grade this fall; joined the youth group at Guilford College UMC;

reconnected with the Greensboro Symphony Youth Orchestra; took up tennis for fun and exercise; became a teenager; was

baptized; and traveled to Navarre, Florida, for a Made-A-Wish trip to visit cousins and enjoy the Emerald Coast. Lilli’s brother

Collin and sister Amelia have grown up a lot this year, and we couldn’t be more proud of all three children. Because of the

ordinary and extraordinary events of the last year our family has become stronger, most resilient, and more grateful for things

that we took for granted before cancer rocked our world.

As we approach Lilli’s “Cancer-versary(she was diagnosed the morning of 12/13/14) we are thinking about a way to mark this

special day. What was a dark and solemn day in 2014 should be a bright and joyous one this year. On December 13th and 14th we

plan on wearing our #Lilli Strong bracelets and t-shirts, and we invite you to do the same…or wear Lilli’s favorite colors (blue or

purple) or wear things with owls, Lilli’s favorite animal. Thank you for helping us through this year, and join us on December

13th or 14th to mark Lilli’s cancer-versary.

Merry Christmas, and enjoy the enclosed photo collage that documents our 2015 in pictures.

Lilli, Amelia, Collin, Lou Anne and Travis Hicks
