LUKE 1:2645 (NIV)26 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel

to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin

pledged to be married to a man named Joseph,

a descendant o David. The virgins name was

Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said,Greetings, you who are highly avored! The

Lord is with you. 29 Mary was greatly troubled

at his words and wondered what kind o greeting

this might be. 30 But the angel said to her,

Do not be araid, Mary, you have ound avor

with God.31

You will be with child and give birthto a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.32 He will be great and will be called the Son o

the Most High. The Lord God will give him the

throne o his ather David, 33 and he will reign

over the house o Jacob orever; his kingdom will

never end. 34 How will this be, Mary asked

the angel, since I am a virgin? 35 The angel

answered, The Holy Spirit will come upon you,

and the power o the Most High will overshadow

you. So the holy one to be born will be called

the Son o God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is

going to have a child in her old age, and she who

was said to be barren is in her sixth month.37 For nothing is impossible with God. 38 I am

the Lords servant, Mary answered. May it be

to me as you have said. Then the angel let her.39At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a

town in the hill country o Judea, 40where she

entered Zechariahs home and greeted Elizabeth.41When Elizabeth heard Marys greeting, the

baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was

until I tell you; or Herod is about to search or

the child, to destroy him. 14 Then Joseph got

up, took the child and his mother by night, and

went to Egypt, 15 and remained there until the

death of Herod. This was to fulll what had been

spoken by the Lord through the prophet, Out o

Egypt I have called my son. 16When Herod sawthat he had been tricked by the wise men, he was

inuriated, and he sent and killed all the children in

and around Bethlehem who were two years old or

under, according to the time that he had learned

rom the wise men. 17 Then was fullled what had

been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah:18

A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud

lamentation, Rachel weeping or her children;

she reused to be consoled, because they are no

more. 19When Herod died, an angel o the Lord

suddenly appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt

and said, 20 Get up, take the child and his mother,

and go to the land o Israel, or those who were

seeking the childs lie are dead. 21 Then Joseph

got up, took the child and his mother, and went

to the land o Israel. 22 But when he heard that

Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place o his

ather Herod, he was araid to go there. And ater

being warned in a dream, he went away to thedistrict o Galilee. 23 There he made his home in

a town called Nazareth, so that what had been

spoken through the prophets might be fullled,

He will be called a Nazorean.

who has been born king of the Jews? For we

observed his star at its rising, and have come to

pay him homage. 3When King Herod heard this,

he was rightened, and all Jerusalem with him;4 and calling together all the chie priests and

scribes o the people, he inquired o them where

the Messiah was to be born. 5 They told him,In Bethlehem o Judea; or so it has been written

by the prophet: 6 And you, Bethlehem, in the land

o Judah, are by no means least among the rulers

o Judah; or rom you shall come a ruler who is

to shepherd my people Israel. 7 Then Herod

secretly called or the wise men and learned romthem the exact time when the star had appeared.8 Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, Go

and search diligently or the child; and when you

have ound him, bring me word so that I may also

go and pay him homage. 9When they had heard

the king, they set out; and there, ahead o them,

went the star that they had seen at its rising, until

it stopped over the place where the child was. 10

When they saw that the star had stopped, they

were overwhelmed with joy.11 On entering the house, they saw the child with

Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid

him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests,they oered him gits o gold, rankincense, and

myrrh. 12And having been warned in a dream

not to return to Herod, they let or their own

country by another road. 13 Now after they had

let, an angel o the Lord appeared to Joseph in

a dream and said, Get up, take the child andhis mother, and fee to Egypt, and remain there

WITNESS FOR JUSTICECONVeNIeNT memORy LOSS

by M. Linda Jaramillo, Executive Minister

Ihear story ater story about communities

across the country being torn apart by

erce debates over immigration. I readspeech ater speech delivered by political

leaders adding infammatory remarks to an

already hostile social environment. In all the

ear-producing outcries, immigrants are named as

the problem with America. One such place is the

State o Oklahoma.What mysties me about all this is our

apparent memory loss. I am conused by our

patriotic cries that raise the American fag

and the Statue o Liberty as the icons o our

culture. Yet, we seem to have orgotten that the

thirteen stripes on the fag represent the original

colonies made up o rebellious and courageous

immigrants coming to this land to make a better

lie. We have orgotten that the Statue o Liberty

is called a symbol o reedom and opportunity,

inscribed with these words, Give me your tired,

your poor, your huddled masses yearning to

breathe ree We have orgotten that most o

the American West was Mexico not very long

ago. Most alarming is that we ignore that this

land rst belonged to Indigenous peoples who

have been set aside.

This memory loss reminds me o my history

lessons in public schools over a hal-centuryago. As an eighth grader, I was required to

take Colorado History. The problem with the

Colorado History class was that the textbooks

left out signicant information about the realhistory. Never did I see people in those books

who looked like me, even though my ancestors

had been on the land or centuries beore the

United States expanded and created states like

Colorado, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, Oregon,

Washington, Idaho, California, New Mexico andOklahoma. The school books only told stories

about those who traveled west on wagon trains

courageous and rebellious immigrants in search

o a better lie. It seems that the authors o the

history textbooks had lost their memory too.

Now, our memory loss is showing up in

hateul state legislation that strips peoples

dignity and their basic human rights. Oklahoma

House Bill 1804, enacted November 1, 2007,

is based on assumptions that have no proven

oundation. Legislators and the Governor

endorsed a bill that blames illegal immigrants

or the economic woes and lawlessness in the

state. Where is the data that proves that illegal

immigrants are committing crime at a higher

rate? Where is the data that veries that illegal

immigrants are draining public resources?

This bill is not about data, it is about a loss o

memory that has rendered people invisible in thehistory books and in todays stories.

WORKING FAMILY VALUESNO-beNefIT jObS LeAVe PAReNTS STRuggLINg

pAsTOrs pAge

by Heather Boushey

When we send our children out into

the world o work, we assume that

i they can get their oot in the

door and get a job, then they can

move up the ladder and take care o themselves and

their amilies. The job may not be perect, but they

will be able to make ends meet and have time to be

both good workers and good parents.

The reality, however, is that millions o jobs

in the United States are not these kinds o jobs.

Nationwide, about one-third of jobs are low wage,

paying less than two-thirds o the male median

wage, and, more oten than not, dont come with

health insurance, paid time o, or retirement plans.

Many workers in low-wage jobs do not even knowwhat their work schedule is or next week, let alone

what theyll do i they need a sick day.

Low-wage workers and their amilies are oten

excluded rom what most o us would consider

normal activities, such as taking a paid sick day

i their child is sick. This is a moral outrage. In

a nation where the majority o children do not

have a stay-at-home parent, how should amilies

cope when a child gets the fu? Leave the child at

daycare and get all the other children sick? Risk

their jobs by missing a day o work? Every day in

the worlds richest nation, parents are orced to

choose between being a good parent and being at

their job.

One o the key characteristics o low-wage jobs

is that they arent subject to the same kinds o ba-

sic labor standards as other jobs. High-wage jobs

often provide the kinds of benets that workers

with amilies need, such as the fexibility to take an

hour to take the children to the dentist and then

make it up later, or paid time o or maternity and

paternity leave. But those in low-wage jobs, who

are also in need o amily-riendly policies, simply

dont get these kinds o perks.

PUBLIC BENEFITS, such as Medicaid and

child care subsidies, are supposed to ll the gap for

workers who do not get on-the-job benets. Yet

we nd that in states across the country, not only

do benets phase out long before youre likely to

get employer-based benets, but few (often less

than half) of those eligible actually receive benets.Most work support programs, including child

care subsidies and Medicaid, ocus on the poor-

est among us or those without employment. This

leaves millions o working amilieswho are not

what the government would dene as poor, but

who dont earn enough to meet their basic needs

and dont get on-the-job benetsstruggling to

make ends meet.

We need to think long and hard about what

kind o economy we want to create or the next

generation o workers. What are the basic stan-

dards that should be common to all jobs, not just

the best jobs? At the very least, the United States

should ollow the lead o other advanced


10/36


economies and provide paid time o or workers

who are ill, have an ill amily member, or need

time to care or a new child. We should also en-

sure that sae, aordable, and enriching child care

is available to every parent. We need to incorpo-

rate into our policymaking the recognition that

those working in low-wage jobs may be unable to

make ends meet and that their employers are not

lling in the gaps with benets.

Its not just the very poor who need our atten-

tion. As members o the middle class have been

squeezed, more and more o us are struggling to

maintain our standard of living. The past 30 years

have brought rising wage and income inequality

and an increase in the low-wage, no-benet jobs.

I we want to see an economy that works or

everyone, then weand our representatives in

Washingtonmust work or labor standards thatsupport all workers.

fAmILy VALueS, contdmemORy LOSS, contdWhat is even more ridiculous is that the

State o Oklahoma claims that this law will be

enorced without discrimination. It reads, The

provisions o this section shall be enorced

without regard to race, religion, gender,

ethnicity, or national origin. Lets not kid

ourselves: this law is all about discrimination.

Oklahoma is but an example o bigoted public

policies being considered in many statehouse in

this nation.

Hispanic Oklahomans are leaving the state

in droves out o ear. Many o them are not

recent immigrants; they have been there or

generations. Native Americans in Oklahoma are

being mistaken or Hispanics and targeted or

deportation.

Last weeks celebration o Thanksgiving is

based on an historic event in this nation. But aswe celebrated, we seemed to have orgotten the

truth about our history. Weve had a convenient

loss o memory.

The United Church o Christ has more than 5,700

churches throughout the United States. Rootedin the Christian traditions o congregational

governance and covenantal relationships, each

UCC setting speaks only or itsel and not on

behal o every UCC congregation. UCC members

and churches are ree to dier on important

social issues, even as the UCC remains principally

committed to unity in the midst o our diversity.


11/36


When we hear the admonition to Put Christ in our Christmas, it oten seems like one

more thing we are being asked to do, another should. The rst Christmas, however,

was a git. Mary and Joseph, shepherds and magi, received something very special. I we

are to savor the moments o Advent and Christmas, perhaps it would be well to connect the word,

savor with savior, remembering their true meanings.

The word, savor, has the core idea o tasting, experiencing a particular favor or smell, recogniz-

ing a distinctive quality. I we savor something, we take time to relish it and enjoy it. Savoring the

Advent moments involves sensing the joy o its central message all along the way.

The word, savior, involves not only what we are saved rom, but what we are saved to. Salvation

moves us rom aloneness or rejection to belonging and being accepted. It is a git o love that comes

rom the Savior, o whom we sing in this season, Christ, the Savior, is Born! We are given a great

git. We belong, and, knowing this is true as Advent moves along, we can anticipate that God does

have good things in store or us.

The result o this can be a sense o givenness that can permeate our living. Lie is something more

than the day to day struggle to get by. Jesus promised us an abundant lie. Part o the secret o that

lie is living in the given-ness spirit, both in what we give and what is given to us.

What a blessing this is, when it comes in a world where oten it seems as though people are alwaysasking things o us, oten expecting more than we can give. With aithul, caring concern, we try to

fulll our responsibilities and be helpful to those around us, but often we are misunderstood and feel

we have no more to give. Jesus comes to say that God always stands with us, hand on our shoulder,

giving us support and strength.

TO dO JUsTiCe

Every ve years, Congress reauthorizes the

Farm Bill. This legislation has tentacles that

reach ar and wide with regard to many

of the policies under which we live. The Farm

Bill hits everything rom energy to conservation;

rom compensation or armers to the ood stamp

program.

As the program currently exists, large cash

payments are made to large corporate armers,

while the small armers are being let out in

the cold. Rural amilies o modest means are

being orced to close down or relinquish their

arms, which have sometimes been in amilies or

generations, to large corporate arms. This bottompricing, and corporate reward is nothing but a

continuation o the Wal-Martization o America.

Furthermore, a reform in the Farm Bill would

allow or proper compensation o black armers

who were discriminated against by the USDA

in 1999, when that agency refused to provide

technical assistance, the results o which causedmany bankruptcies and farm foreclosures. In 1999,

a settlement of nearly $1 billion was paid to nearly

15,000 families. However, over 63,000 black

farmers eligible for the $50,000 claim given to

each amily, were let out in the cold.

Moreover, the ood stamp program, which

purports to be the rst line of defense against hungerin America, needs to be expanded in order to make

more amilies eligible in order to eliminate hunger.

Only a reorm in the arm bill will allow some

o these policies to be altered, in order to be more

equitable or those suering under this policy.

Thereore, I urge you to call your Senator and

demand that the Farm Bill include the following

amendments:

Lugar/Lautenberg Amendment: Would broaden

the agricultural saety net by making a ree

revenue insurance program available to all armers,

saving billions o dollars to be used or nutrition,

conservation, the McGovern-Dole international

school meals program and more.

Grassley/Dorgan Amendment: Would cap

commodity payments at $250,000 per household,helping to ensure that payments are targeted to

those who need them.

Brown/Sununu Amendment: Would reorm crop

insurance programs to bring the insurance companies

underwriting gains more in line with other types o

insurance and lower their Administration &

Operations (A&O) reimbursement. No farmerswould see any change in their premium costs or

coverage. It would save money to reinvest in ood

stamps, conservation, and McGovern-Dole

international school eeding program.

Menendez Amendment: Would make a small

cut to Direct Payments and reinvest the savings in

ood stamps and conservation.

Amendments which would allow black armers tobe compensation or discrimination suered at the

hands of the USDA from the 1997 Pigordcase.

Other amendments that add unding to

nutrition programs: Several other amendments

will likely be oered to increase unding or the ood

stamp program and other vital nutrition programs.

THe ReSuLTS Of A Redeemed LIfeLOVe ANd geNeROSITy

During this holiday season, let us show our love and generosity!

Why is it we are so much more tolerant, so much more generous

during the Christmas season?

We smile and oer goodwill to all people. We give to others gladly and

experience the warm eeling that comes with giving rom the heart, in

order to please those we love.

But why should this eeling be limited to Christmas? The season

recalls the birth o our Lord, true; but Christ is with us always. He

did not appear two thousand years ago and then disappear. Christ is

present today, every day, and He watches to see if we will fulll His

commandment o love, His wish that we give o ourselves to others, as

a sign that we want to give o ourselves to Him.

Let us all join in during this Holy Season and continue during the

proclaim to her that her hard service has beencompleted, that her sin has been paid for, thatshe has received from the LORDs hand doublefor all her sins.

FuayIsaiah 40:454 Every valley shall be raised up,

every mountain and hill made low; the roughground shall become level, the rugged placesa plain. 5And the glory of the LORD will berevealed, and all mankind together will see it.For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

MaIsaiah 40:11

He tends his ock like a shepherd:He gathers the lambs in his arms and carriesthem close to his heart; he gently leads thosethat have young.

AilIsaiah 40:18 To whom, then, will you compare

God? What image will you compare him to?MaIsaiah 40:21 Do you not know? Have younot heard? Has it not been told you from thebeginning? Have you not understood since theearth was founded?

JunIsaiah 40:25 To whom will you compare me?Or who is my equal? says the Holy One.

JulyIsaiah 40:26 Li your eyes and look to theheavens: Who created all these? He who brings

out the starry host one by one, and calls themeach by name. Because of his great power andmighty strength, not one of them is missing.

AuguIsaiah 40:27 Why do you say, O Jacob, andcomplain, O Israel, My way is hidden from the

LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God?StemIsaiah 40:28 Do you not know? Have you notheard? e LORD is the everlasting God, theCreator of the ends of the earth. He will notgrow tired or weary, and his understanding no

one can fathom.OtoIsaiah 40:29 He gives strength to the weary andincreases the power of the weak.

NvemIsaiah 40:30 Even youths grow tired and weary,

and young men stumble and fall;

DcemIsaiah 40:31 But those who hope in the LORDwill renew their strength. ey will soar onwings like eagles; they will run and not growweary, they will walk and not be faint.

RestoatiA God of

My heartfelt hope for the congregation in the year 2007 is that each member

will fully embrace what it means to be loved by a God who restores.God is a God of redemption and not a God of condemnation.
