PASTORS LETTER

Greetings all, As many of you know we have begun our annual stewardship season. For the past few weeks, and until the end of this month, members have and will share stories about what makes Fort King and their faith so important to them. We have heard from members who have been here a year and from members who have been here from nearly the beginning of the church. The common theme in their message was the friendliness of the people and the congregations desire to reach out into the broader community. I am thankful that you, and others, continue to be a constant witness to Gods love and welcome in the Kingdom. This is part of being good stewards to what God has given and entrusted of each of us. Stewardship is about what we can joyfully give back to God because God has given us so much. Often times people feel stewardship is only about how much money you can give to the church. It is NOT. Here at Fort King we try to help people understand that stewardship is more than just giving money. Stewardship is about your joyful response to what God continues to give to you. Are financial gifts part of that equation? Yes, but they are only a portion of how we respond to Gods grace. Your gifts of time and service are just as important. Just as we need each person to financially give to the church, we also need each person to give of their time and talents, to be involved. Without you sharing with others what God has given you to share, then we cease to exist as a community of faith impacting peoples lives with the message of welcome, hope and grace.

I encourage you, especially during this stewardship season, to reflect and pray about what God has so abundantly given to you and how you can respond in faith and action to Gods amazing grace. Help Fort King continue to be a transformative body of faith for all people. May we be ever faithful,

October Birthdays

Congregational Care Ministry

Have you noticed the changes in the photo board across from the Session Room? No? Well then, next time you are in church, go take a look. The board has been updated with photos from the new directory. If you had your picture taken for the new directory, then your photo is on display. This update was completed thanks to the efforts of Pat Merrill (she cut out the pictures) and Rebecca Bishop (she put them up). If for some reason you did not get included in the new directory, you have another opportunity. Jim Johnson has graciously offered to take pictures of any one who missed out. If that applies to you, then please call Pat Merrill at 694-8228. Most likely the pictures will be taken on a Sunday after the worship service, so if there is a Sunday when you would not be available, please let Pat know. Update: By the middle of September, the 11-person Prayer Shawl Ministry has given out 113 shawls. Watch for more information about this remarkable group of women in the November Link.

Thank You
I would like to thank everyone for the lovely cards, flowers, calls, food and prayers that have been extended to me during my recovery. I would also like to express my appreciation to the Prayer Shawl Ministry for the beautiful shawl knitted by Helen Reed. I took it to the hospital and it has been with me 24/7 ever since (yes, I even sleep with it)! Love to all, Bernice Henry

CONGREGATIONAL CARE (continued)

Congratulations, David McChesney
This is Rev. David McChesney and wife, Anna. David is celebrating 45 years as an ordained Presbyterian USA minister. He is currently serving as the Stated Supply Pastor for First Presbyterian Church of Reddick. David and Anna have been part of our family for several years. David has filled the pulpit while our pastor has been away, and Anna has shared her gifts on the piano and organ when we have been in need of a substitute music leader. Both have filled our pews and graced us with their wonderful spirits whenever they have gotten a chance to step away from Reddick. Prior to Davids retirement and current ministry at Reddick he served faithfully at First Ocala; First Albertville, Alabama; First Livingston, AL; and Eastminster in Birmingham. Together as a church family we celebrate David and Annas ministry to Gods people throughout the years and we continue to pray for his ongoing shepherding of the children of God. Congratulations David!

CONNECTIONS (EVANGELISM & FELLOWSHIP)

DISCIPLESHIP
Faith Leaders III
The third Faith Leaders class began its introspective/outward-leading journey of faith on September 22. For the next several weeks, we will be focused on spiritual selfdiscovery. We will look at some of the biblical models of faith -- warts, wrinkles and all to see how God uses ordinary, sometimes flawed, people to work out a divine purpose. Our study will involve an exploration of a variety of spiritual gifts, including some that we might not readily think of as instruments of Gods purpose. We will also try to gain insight into our spiritual types, i.e., how we learn, how we respond, how we grow as individuals. Faith is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Rather, each of us has a unique pattern of gift, call, and response. On October 19 we will experience a daylong retreat during which we will begin to tie together all of these considerations and their implications for our spiritual lives.

Adult Discipleship
Adult Discipleship: Two adult Sunday morning classes continue to be offered. One is a class being facilitated by Rhea Forman which is studying the Book of Hebrews. The class meets at 9:00 (please note earlier time) in the Education Building. The other class is continuing with a study of the US presidents led by Anthony Clegorne. The class meets at 9:15 in the Session Room with coffee available. Small Group Studies: (1) Andy will lead two groups using a DVD from Amy-Jill Levine. The evening group will meet two more times in October. The daytime group started September 16, and will meet in the Session Room on the first and third Mondays at 9:30. All you need is your Bible. (2) Judith Bullen is facilitating a group Bible Study using the Bible and materials related to the New Testament. The class is already full with 10 members. (3) Donna Johnsons group will continue their study of the Book of Hebrews. The evening class meets on the second and fourth Thursday in the Johnsons home. This study is open to new participants. (4) Sally Layendeckers group began on September 23 and thereafter will meet every other Monday. By the time you read this, group participants will have selected one of two study guides, either One Anothering or Being Presbyterian in the Bible Belt. The study will be held in the Layendecker home and registration is limited.

DISCIPLESHIP (continued)
Womens Retreat
M.A.D.Making A Differencethats the theme of this years Womens Retreat, November 1-3, at Montgomery Conference Center. The Planning Committee is hard at work planning a great retreat for the women and guests of Fort King. Rev. Becca Gillespie from First Presbyterian Church of Middleburg will again be our guest facilitator. The Co-Directors for this year will be Anne Hill and Bernice Henry. The total cost for the entire weekend with lodging in the Inn is $130. The total cost for the entire weekend with lodging in a cabin is $110. There are a number of alternative arrangements for partial times that range from $38 - $80. We welcome your participation for whatever time you have available. Reservations are still available, but rooms are going rapidly, so contact Bernice (6946798) as soon as possible to assure a space.

Library Corner
If you are participating in any of the various study groups at FKPC this year and are looking for additional information to supplement your main source, dont forget to look in the church library. Books are filed by subject using the Dewey classification system. Books relating to the Old Testament begin with the numbers 221 through 224 on the spine label. A lot of general books about biblical events, people, customs, etc. are under number 220. If you are in one of the classes studying the New Testament book of Hebrews, then look for books beginning with the number 225. Four books should be of special interest to you: Who Wrote the New Testament by Burton Mack; Understanding the New Testament by Howard Kee; Reading the New Testament by Pheme Perkins; and The Peoples New Testament Commentary by Boring and Craddock. Each of these books has one or more chapters specifically on Hebrews. Books about Jesus begin with the number 232. You will find more than one entire shelf devoted to these books, many by well-known Jesus Seminar scholars such as Marcus Borg, John Dominic Crossan and Robert Funk. Others are by equally prolific writers like William Barclay, Bart Ehrman and John Shelby Spong. Many Bible commentaries as well as different translations of the Bible are also available for check-out. A number of books, magazines and videos about Americas presidents and founding fathers should interest adults attending the Sunday morning classes in the session room. Some of these items are displayed on the top shelf of the bookcase straight ahead as you enter the library. Below that display are two shelves of new books added in the last few months. Hot off the press is Lucy Tobiass new childrens book Mary Margaret Manatee. It includes many colorful illustrations (also by our multi-talented Lucy!) and in the back is a fun guide to learning more about manatees. This is a great book for adults to read to or with their children.

High Tide
Our High Tide meetings in October will start at 5:00 p.m. The topic for Sunday, October 13th is visiting truth. We will play games, focus on the power of truth in our character and create a picture using dots. On Sunday, October 27th our theme is Prayer 911. The focus of our activity will include making an emergency prayer kit to use in times of need. Join us for dinner, fellowship and continuing our "new creation" project each week. Pick up is at 7:00 p.m. Cheryl, Niki, Amy and Doris

GROUP ACTIVITIES

Craft Fair and Bake Sale

The annual Fall Craft Fair and Bake Sale has been scheduled for Saturday, October 12th from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Lets make this years fair a wonderful opportunity to help fund Presbyterian Womens benevolences. We have many new crafts this year donated by creative people in our congregation. Come see our many new and different kitchen, dining, household, outdoor, and personal items; childrens wear, bags, wreaths, knitted and crocheted items and Christmas items, etc. If you wish to donate anything to the craft fair, you may drop your donations off at church with your name and suggested sale price or bring them to Fellowship Hall the Thursday and Friday before the fair from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Please inform us if you would like your items back if not sold. Through the years we have found that items priced reasonably sell much faster than higher priced ones. In addition to our craft items, we have additional vendors who will be participating. Fellowship Hall will be packed with goodies of all kinds from jewelry, purses, quilting, and crafts, crafts, and more crafts. We are also looking for volunteers to help with the Craft Fair. If you can help set up or work, please see or call Onalee Mease (687-3160), Pat Merrill (694-8228), or Bernice Henry (694-6798). In conjunction with the Craft Fair, we will be having our Bake Sale! The only way this sale can be a success is if we have you donate some of the baked goods. We will gladly accept homemade cookies, cakes, breads, brownies, fudge, shortbread, pies, loafs, or anything else that is a delectable treat! Sugar-free items are always requested by our customers. You may drop off your baked goods Friday, October 11 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. or early Saturday morning. Someone will be there at 7:30 a.m. Saturday to accept your donations. If you have any questions or are willing to help Saturday, please see or call Keay Forman at 624-3160. Please remember, only you can make our Craft Fair & Bake Sale a huge success, as you have done in the past. What a fun way to congregate with our church family and friends and raise funds for Presbyterian Women! See you there!

MISSION
Equal Exchange Items for Sale
In 1986, Equal Exchange was founded to challenge the existing trade model, which favors large plantations, agri-business, and multi-national corporations; support small farmers; and connect consumers and producers through information, education, and the exchange of products in the marketplace. With our founding, we joined a growing movement of small farmers, alternative traders (ATOs), religious organizations, and non-profits throughout the world with like-minded principles and objectives.

STEWARDSHIP
Consecration Sunday
Consecration Sunday, on October 27th, will be an important time in the life of the Fort King community. On that Sunday, each member or family will have the opportunity to make an Estimate of Giving for the upcoming year. No one will be asked for money or pressured to give to meet the budget. Rather, each member will have the opportunity to make their decision on a spiritual basis. At this time, take a moment to reflect on your spiritual relationship and blessings that God has provided. We ask that you spend some time in prayer during this reflection, seeking the question: What portion of my income am I called to give in response to God's blessings to me? Following worship on Consecration Sunday, there will be a free catered lunch. There will be no program---just a celebration. We hope everyone will plan to attend.

WORSHIP
Something to Think About The Death of the Firstborn
Exodus 11:4-9 and 12:29-30 are from very early Israelite literary traditions that have not been integrated into the rest of the biblical perspective; they stand out starkly over against the rest of the biblical tradition. Two points: a. The slaughter of the firstborn is both the end of the plague narrative and the beginning of the Passover tradition (B. Childs 1974 Exodus 161), so much so that the reference to the death of the firstborn as an act of violence is passed over without any thought as to its meaning; and, b. the prophets of Israel use images of pestilence as forms of the Judgment of God, e.g. Amos, Joel, and Isaiah 13, and Psalms 78 and 105 may refer to plague images, but the Exodus-plagues do not serve to inform later Israelite and/or Jewish thought. The only exception is first century BCE and CE apocalyptic traditions in which the struggle is no longer between God/Yahweh and Pharaoh, but between God and Satan (a Persian concept adapted/adopted into Jewish and Christian thinking). While some scholars note that Israelites never took delight in the death of the Egyptian children (W. Harrelson 1964 Interpreting the O.T. 83), and while Israelites may rejoice in the despoiling of the Egyptians (see B. Childs Exodus 175ff.) and celebrate the destruction of the Egyptian army, there is no comment anywhere in the Biblical tradition concerning the death of the firstborn of all Egypt, including cattle. The killing of the firstborn was the final and most decisive plague because it was the model on which all other plagues were structured, and it was the focal point upon which the Passover was to be carried out (M. Noth 1972 A History of Pentateuch Traditions 6970). Wm. Dever (2003 Who were the Early Israelites 15-16) noted the periodic infestations by frogs, gnats, flies, and locusts; other cattle afflictions, adverse weather conditions, skin diseases (e.g. the Baghdad boil caused by a parasite attached to sandflies); but when it comes to the death of the firstborn, including cattle, he stated that there is no way to explain this act, let alone make sense of the vengeance of the deity! This pass-over of a significant act of violence against humans and animals so that the Istraelites could win their freedom from Pharaoh is exceptional something we must think about. What is suggested below is that the death of the firstborn of all Egypt is a metaphor that points at specific realties in the history of Egypt. To wit:

WORSHIP (continued)
The History of Egypt 1. Early Egypt: 5000 2700 BCE 2. The Old Kingdom (Pyramids): 2700 2200 BCE 3. Intermediate Period: 2200 1989 BCE 4. The Middle Kingdom: 1989 1776 BCE 5. Intermediate Period: 1776 1570 BCE 6. The New Kingdom: 1570 1150 BCE (Period of the Exodus!) 7. The Decline of Egypt: 1150 332 BCE (Source: Jack Finegan 1946 Light from the Ancient Past 62 116). In other words, the Plague stories are set within the historical context of the end of the New Kingdom and the decline of Egyptian power in the Middle East.

Lets take the reference to the death of the firstborn of all cattle first. * Cattle were very important to the Egyptian farmer for two reasons: $ Their economic value, and $ They reveal divine life, that is, * The mother-animal, the cow, is the divine mother of all, whose name was Hathor. She represented procreative life; was the goddess of the dead and the protector of children: she determined the fate of each child at birth (C. J. Bleeker The Religion of Ancient Egypt in Bleeker and Geo Widengren 1969 HIstoria Religionum I 70 71). Therefore, the death of the firstborn of all cattle means the end of Pharoanic and Egyptian religion and mythology: the cow-goddess Hathor is dead! Recall Friedrich Nietzsches God is dead! in 19th century Europe. What of the death of the firstborn of the Egyptians? Anthropologist Margaret Mead (1970 Culture and Commitment) had observed that children were the future of a society: they embody a culture, maintain unchanging continuity with/of the past each child has undergone the indelible imprint of a culture (3). All they know is what the parents and the milieu of a society and culture have taught them: This is what it is to be human (6). There was no break between the experience of the old and the experience of the young (9). The child as he grows accepts unquestioningly whatever is unquestioned by those around him (21), thus allowing a society and culture to be maintained with great stability. The death of the firstborn of all Egypt means simply this: the termination of Egyptian culture as it had existed for almost 2000 years! Ultimately Egypt felt the restrictions of the Assyrians and Babylonians; the control of the Persians, Greeks, and Romans, so Egypt faded away. What they left behind, however, provided form for the creation story of Genesis and to the Logos become flesh of the Fourth Gospel. Perhaps these should be examined in the future. In a nutshell, the death of the firstborn of Egypt, including cattle, means this: the end of the power of the Egyptian gods and religious myths to inform, direct and control human life, and the end of the society and culture of the Pharaohs, in which a man, a human being, was regarded as the incarnation of a god with the power to rule over human life. This raises at least two questions for us: * What is the meaning of the decline in the birthrate of U.S. citizens (See www.nationaljournal.comthenextAmerica/demographics/U-S-birth-rate-hits-record-low 20121129 by Stephanie Czekalinski; http://www.time.com/August The Childfree Life; And, * What is the religion we have attempted to teach to our children, and for what goal? Something to think about. Shalom, Tom

The Scissors Arch at Wells Cathedral

Cutting Edge
At the magnificent Cathedral in Wells, England, there is a unique architectural feature that really catches the eye of the beholder. It is called the Scissors Arch. Inside the upper part of the arch is a moving depiction of the crucifixion. As I stood there in December, 2007 contemplating that scene, I thought of the great hymn When I Survey the Wondrous Cross. When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Isaac Watts was born in England in 1674. He was the first son of a family of the Dissenting tradition. Though his training in Greek, Latin and Hebrew would have allowed him the opportunity to become an Anglican priest, he chose to pastor a Dissenting congregation. At the time of Watts birth, churches in England sang only metrical psalms. But by the time of his death, he had planted the seeds of a much more complex hymnody. His 600 hymns found in seven collections made the transition from a rigid, metrical psalmody to a freer, theologically-based hymnody. Watts hymns include complex theology in a format that is ideal for congregational singing. Hymns should echo the theme of the sermon. He insisted that songs in the church should be fully evangelical and not just supplements to the Psalms; that hymns should be freely composed and not just hold to the letter of Scripture; and that hymns should give straightforward expression to the thoughts and feelings of the singers and not merely recall events of the distant past. He also wrote texts to fit the most common psalm meters, allowing them to be sung by any congregation to a variety of tunes in such a way that each line contained a complete thought. This was important since the hymns, like the metrical psalms before them, were lined out by a precentor, or song leader. The leader would sing a phrase and then the congregation would echo back what had been sung. If a thought were spread out over two phrases, it would be broken up by this teaching technique. Watts smoothed out the process by including a complete thought in a single phrase as much as possible.

12

WORSHIP (continued)
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. Another example of the impact of his theology upon his hymns is that he edited texts based on the Old Testament to reflect the presence of Christ, causing his hymnody to view God the Father from the perspective of God the Son. When I Survey the Wondrous Cross is one of Watts finest poems and an excellent example of why he is considered a fulcrum in the transition to hymnody. This hymn is particularly powerful because it includes many poetic devices. For example, oxymoron is found twice in the first stanza: my richest gain I count but loss and pour contempt on all my pride. The third stanza contains a paradox in a crown of thorns, and there are two rhetorical questions in the second half of this stanza: Did eer such love and sorrow met, or thorns compose so rich a crown? As I gazed at the crucifixion depiction in the arch, I could visualize standing on Golgathas hill and knew exactly what my thoughts would have been. Watts so capably put it to words: See from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did eer such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? When I Survey is a hymn which is saturated with theology and a call for an emotional response from the singer. This hymn was transformed into a statement of faith that crosses denominational lines and generations. According to hymn scholar Lionel Adey, the lines All the vain things that charm me most / I sacrifice them . . . have a meaning personal to each singer, one that might require either action or renunciation. The three pledges at the climax of the hymn (my soul, my life, my all) are a sacrifice that had once been required only of those taking monastic vows. Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. This stanza is my favorite. You see, it affirms my resolve to give of my best to the Master. My life is rich, full of blessings, overflowing with love and grace. You see, the whole realm of nature is mine because of that Love so amazing, so divine and Demands my soul, my life, my all. With a song in my heart, Rick
