Blessed Beyond Belief: Fifty Years Together
Alma Jean and I experienced a once in a lifetime blessing Sunday, August 24, thanks to friends and relatives who filled the great room at the Old Massanutten Lodge to help us celebrate our 50th anniversary.
We thank Guy and Margie Vlasits for hosting this, and all who blessed us so with your presence. And a special thanks to our three children and spouses who put so much time and creativity into making it happen.
Our son Brad composed the following for his brother Brent’s and sister Joanna’s weddings in 2001, and sang it for us at our anniversary:
the ones you love are gathered ‘round
to bless the day, the love you’ve found,
with song and prayer and a joyful sound,
it’s good to be together...
as you were loved when you were small,
so may you grow, then, when you fall
you’ll get back up and shake it off,
and travel on together..
a mystery to see you through,
how 1 and 1 is more than 2,
a cord of 3 strands binding you, and
it’s not easily broken...
the simplest magic known to us:
to come to care, to learn to trust,
to love what’s there at any cost,
to learn to be together...
the ones you love are gathered ‘round
to bless the day, the love you’ve found,
with song and prayer and a joyful sound
it’s good to be together. - Harvey Yoder

Anglican Rector Stephen Cherry Visits FOH
Stephen and Maggie Cherry will be with us Sunday, August 31, as a part of their visit in the area during his sabbatical leave as Canon of Durham Cathedral in England and newly appointed Dean of King’s College.
The following is from Stephen’s book Barefoot Prayers:
Breath of God
be my life this day;
be my compassion.
Breath of God,
be my connection with your
places of distress and darkness;
with your places of despair and desolation.
Breath of God,
flow where you are not expected;
flow where their is hurt and hatred.
Breath of God,
flow where life is coming to an end:
flow into the kingdom of death.
Breath of God,
flow into me, through me, from me:
as grace, as love, as Spirit, as life.
Breath of God, breath of God, breath of God,
breathe on me,
breathe with me
breathe me.

Annual Recovenanting Sunday--Pentecost 2014
FAMILY OF HOPE--WHO ARE WE?
We are followers of Jesus. We believe in one God as revealed most fully in the life, teaching, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christ is our Lord and Leader, the foundation of our faith, and the basis of our new birth and of our life together as a family of God. We base our faith on the Bible. We do not claim to understand or to live it perfectly, but we embrace the Bible as the trustworthy and inspired Word of God.
We are members of God's worldwide family. Our spiritual roots, like those of all Christians, go back to the story of God's people in the Old Testament. Likewise, we are a part of the universal Christian church, the story of which begins in the New Testament--when the power of God's Spirit was poured out on the first century followers of Jesus.
In our faith, we affirm the ancient creeds of the early Christian church. We are also spiritual heirs of the sixteenth century Reformation, which emphasizes salvation by faith, and of the Anabaptist wing of that Reformation, which stresses voluntary adult baptism as a pledge of covenant with Christ and the church.
We are a part of the Mennonite Church. While we see ourselves first of all as members of God's worldwide family, we are linked with the Mennonite family of churches in our concern for Christ's example of a life of simplicity and peace, and in our support of that denomination's mission, relief, education and publishing efforts.
We are a living, growing and serving local family of faith:
LIVING: Together we are experiencing a new life in Christ. By saying No to a life of sin and self-centeredness and saying Yes to a life of faithfulness to Christ, we receive God's gift of forgiveness and God's power to live a new and joy-filled life. Our desire is to be a community of people who love God above every other love or loyalty and who love our neighbors and even our enemies as Christ taught us.
GROWING: Together we want to experience more and more of the spirit of Jesus in our lives. To help us in this, we urge the practice of spiritual disciplines of prayer and the study of scripture, accountable relationships with others, and regular attendance at house church meetings for worship, study and fellowship. We also want to be a caring church family, using our God-given gifts to encourage each other to grow as Christians and to welcome others into our "family of hope".
SERVING: Together we want to respond to God's call to continue the kinds of proclaiming and healing ministries Jesus began when he was here on earth. We are committed to being the servants of Christ for the world, calling people to faith and caring deeply about their hurts and needs. We urge Christians to give at least a tithe (10%) of their working hours and of their incomes for direct service to others through the church.
Above all, we want to live a celebrative and joyful life together as children of God. We eagerly look forward to the time when Jesus, our Lord and King, will return to earth to establish God's rule of peace and justice over all creation. This is our hope and confidence.

Had the sharing spirit of Pentecost continued, Christians could have saved the planet
The first believers at Pentecost took that teaching seriously. Had Christians continued to do so through the centuries, the very earth we live on might have averted disaster.
Unfortunately, most of the world’s so-called Christians have become known as being among the most ravenous and reckless consumers of all time, promoting a way of life that is wrecking the planet, exhausting its resources and poisoning its atmosphere.
What would have happened if those who professed to follow Jesus would have from the beginning taken him far more seriously when it comes to sharing wealth with those in need rather than storing up more and more earthly treasure for our own comfort, convenience or self-indulgence? Trillions could have been saved through investing in plowshares instead of swords and through spending on human need rather than on human greed. Hunger, malnutrition, homelessness and many diseases could have been virtually eliminated if the rate of consumption had been reduced and wealth more equitably shared.
One day we may all realize, too late, that Jesus was not simply giving humanity some good sounding but optional financial advice in the gospels, but a mandate that could prove to be the only way we could all survive.
But alas, professed Christians, on the whole, have been no more Christ-like when it comes to their rate of consumption than unbelievers in general. Is that sad or what? - Harvey Yoder
Notes, prayers and praises
OUR ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP COVENANTING is on Pentecost Day, June 8, and will be followed by a very simple Lord’s Supper meal.
PRAY FOR THE UNITY and healing of the Virginia Mennonite Conference as it anticipates its summer assembly in July.

Had the sharing spirit of Pentecost continued, Christians could have saved the planet
Sell what you have and give to those in need. Luke 12:33
We tend to dismiss such words as among the sayings of Jesus that no
reasonable person could ever put into practice. But Jesus insists that
when we invest in the needs of our fellow human beings rather than in
ever more consumer goods, we are putting our money where it really
produces the best returns and brings the most possible gain.The first believers at Pentecost took that teaching seriously. Had Christians continued to do so through the centuries, the very earth we live on might have averted disaster.
Unfortunately, most of the world’s so-called Christians have become known as being among the most ravenous and reckless consumers of all time, promoting a way of life that is wrecking the planet, exhausting its resources and poisoning its atmosphere.
