Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Faithful in Small Things
Make an ark of gopher wood . . . this is how you are to make it (Genesis 6:14–15)
As I sit in my office writing this, we are under yet another arctic blast. We have had weeks of this, and we
already know there will surely be a next time when the prolonged cold will freeze pipes, overwork us with snow
removal, and cause wrecks and falls.
Something like that will happen again. It’s not a matter of “if,” it’s a matter of “when.” This is a question worth
pondering: how do you get ready for a storm? How do you prepare yourself for a storm that hasn’t come yet,
and still prepare in such a way that the mere threat of a storm doesn’t determine how you live?
It would seem strange for southern Atlantic Coast and Gulf Coast residents to leave plywood nailed over their
windows year-round “just in case.” There are some preparations that can only be done when the horizon is dark,
the winds are up, and the waters are high.
What I’m asking is not really about how to prepare your house or your driveway, but rather I’m asking about
you. How do you prepare yourself?
We know from reading Genesis 6 that Noah had found favor with the Lord. He was a man who walked with
God. Phrases like “finding favor in the eyes of the Lord” and “walking with God” are high-sounding phrases.
They speak to the nobility of Noah’s character and his right standing with God as compared with the
wickedness of his neighbors. But these high-sounding phrases are given definition and detail when it comes to
the boat.
God gave Noah specific instructions: use gopher wood…cover it with pitch…three levels…300 cubits
long…50 cubits wide…30 cubits high…place a doorway on the side. Thus, Noah built the ark.
Maybe that’s what it means to walk with God. Maybe that’s how we find favor with the Lord. We first listen
closely for what God wants us to do, and then we obey God in detail being faithful in small things. That’s how
Noah got ready for the storm. He did it with gopher wood and pitch.
Spiritual warfare isn’t always a cataclysmic battle. Sometimes it’s a daily struggle to do what we’ve been called
to do. Faithfulness in small things will not get you out of the storm, but it will clear the path that takes you
through it.
Be obedient in the ordinary things. Do your work well and deal honestly with your clients or employer. Speak
kind words to those around you. Love your children and honor your spouse. Tell the truth. Apologize when you
need to do so, confront with grace and not vitriol.
Be faithful to God in the small things. Trust his faithfulness to you in the big things. Then you’ll be ready for
anything.
Finding calm in the midst of the storm,
Pastor Kingsley

March Leads Us from Lent II to Palm Sunday
We have marked ourselves as penitent and contrite when we received
the ashes on our foreheads on Ash Wednesday. That act marked the
beginning of our Lenten journey -- a season of self-examination, of
taking stock of our lives, of looking closely at our short comings and
taking steps to set things right. Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness
preparing for his death; and, as Christians, we spend the time preparing
ourselves to arrive at Easter Sunday renewed and deepened in our
faith.
I was thinking about an updated interpretation of Lenten observance rather than the old “giving up
something.” Here are some interesting ideas I came across for a more meaningful Lenten practice
guaranteed to change us from the inside out.

Pray daily for our enemies
Weather permitting, get outside everyday and walk in nature
Meditate -- spend some time in silence
Journal your experiences to life as it unfolds around you
Take pictures of things that interest you
Reduce your media exposure -- stop the bombardment of bad news
Don’t allow technology to hold you captive – unplug
Follow a daily devotional such as “Our Daily Bread”
Invite a friend to church
Practice a random act of kindness each week
Call someone you’ve neglected
Hold peace instead of reacting to every disturbance that arises
Memorize an uplifting passage that speaks to you
Reach out and support relief efforts in your church and community
We conclude the month of March as we enter Holy Week starting with Palm
Sunday on March 29. We celebrate and recall the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem
singing the joyous entrance hymn, The Palms as the youth lay their palm branches
on the chancel. However, just as events took a sudden turn for Jesus as he faced
his trial and ultimate crucifixion, our service turns more somber as we anticipate the
events of Holy Week with the choral anthem, Beneath the Cross of Jesus; the
beautiful Pie Jesu; and When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.
We then continue our Lenten journey with the services of Holy Week. First, we
observe Maundy Thursday, which derives from the Latin word “mandatum,”
meaning “commandment.” The events of Maundy Thursday highlight the
humility and servanthood of Jesus. His command to His disciples is a
command that He leaves for us as well, “A new command I give you: Love one
another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men
will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:34-35).
As we enter, we extend our hands to be cleansed by our pastor. The chancel
is transformed into a glowing candlelit space in which to experience the
Passover Meal, the last supper or communion before Easter. At the
conclusion of the service, the altar is stripped of all elements and windows are blackened out in
preparation for the somber tone of the service on Good Friday.
On Good Friday, April 3, the service presents a dramatic reenactment of the events of
Jesus’ trial and crucifixion in word and music. It is a moving and emotional experience
for all. We depart in silence and darkness not to reenter the sanctuary until Easter
Sunday morning.

A Lenten Prayer
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen
News of the Prayer Shawl Ministry
The ladies have been busy keeping their hooks flying throughout the cold winter months. Two shawls
made by Joan Howell’s magic fingers were given to Mrs. Cox’s daughters at her funeral reception in
February. Two shawls were also presented to Fran Hoffmann and her daughter Heather upon the
passing of Fran’s husband and Heather’s dad, Dr. Hoffmann. These came from the talents of Joan
Butensky. Jen Pillar will also send a shawl to her aunt who is battling a serious illness and her
grandmother who is the caretaker in Maryland. Thank you, Jen for getting those hugs out to your
family. I know it will be a comfort to them both. So as quickly as they are made, they seem to fly right
back out the door. Thank you ladies, one and all, for your continued support and dedication to this
wonderful church ministry!
February is the month when we collect yarn to keep this ministry flourishing. We thank all of you who
placed some yarn into our bin. Not only is the yarn used for the ministry, but also hats and scarves
made for the Salvation Army and the Midnight Run. Yarn that we cannot use (too small an amount or
not the right weight for a shawl) will be passed to our Sunday school or the Vacation Bible School
group to be used. Believe me; we will not waste what we find.
Also, the beautiful crocheted angels are back in the Narthex for taking and also the mini shawls to
carry in your pocket are back in the basket. Please take one when you need one or pass it on to
someone you know.
Thank you again to everyone who supports us. We couldn’t do it without you.
Consider yourselves hugged,
Wendy Lee Paffenroth
Shawl Ministry Secretary
DEACONS’ PALM SUNDAY BRUNCH- MARCH 29
Please join us in the sharing of food and fellowship following the worship services.
PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN’S ASSOCIATION
The PW Association does not meet during the winter months and will meet again on the first Monday
of March in the parlor at approximately 7:00 p.m. Please join us. All are welcome.
Our condolences to Moderator Fran Hoffmann and her family on the passing of her beloved husband
Don early in February. Don was also a great supporter of PW, and we will miss his gentlemanly
ways. We hope that all our thoughts and prayers will be of comfort to Fran and her family.
This note was received for PW:
“Thank you so very much for the Christmas gifts and plant that you were so kind to give us. Your
hearts are enormous. We have always been the givers and now we are the receivers. Yes we are
having our ups and downs, but we have faith with all your prayers Bill’s health will improve. Your
generosity has been accepted with an open heart. A special thank you to all who make it possible to
attend church most Sundays; the choir, the greeters, the Sunday school teachers, the children, the
servers, ladies group, men’s group, janitor for clearing the snow away, and Rev. David Kingsley for
his expert sermons and guidance. Hope you all got a piece of this Hug. Bill and Audrey Howell and
sons.”
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Howell; this deserved sharing with everyone. We are so glad to see you
each week as well. Our church is made of special people like yourselves. We are glad we could bring
a little joy to you as well.
PW will be hosting a special coffee hour in May. We are hoping the men will challenge us again.
Thank you to the ladies who helped with the funeral reception for Gertrude Cox and Dr. Hoffmann.
God bless each of you for all you do.
Respectfully,
Wendy Lee Paffenroth – Secretary PW

HAVING FAITH
“Faith is what we do not see, and the reward of faith is to see what we believe.” St. Augustine
The fields were parched and brown from the lack of rain, the crops lay wilting from thirst.
People in the farming community were anxious as each day the sun again shone bright and
hot without a cloud in sight. They searched the sky for some relief, but none came, and the
days turned to weeks. If there was no rain soon, everything they worked so hard for would be
lost.
The local ministers got together and wanted to restore faith to the community. They decided
to call for an hour of prayer on the town square that following Saturday. They requested that
each person bring an object of faith for inspiration, to come with an open heart, and to bring
everyone they knew.
At high noon the townspeople gathered. They filled the square and listened to the ministers
words. All the faiths prayed together, they held hands, they held their Holy Books, their
crosses, their rosaries, and whatever meant the most to them.
When the hour ended, as if by a magical command, a soft rain began to fall. Cheers swept
through the crowd. They held up those faithful treasures to the sky in gratitude and praise.
From the middle of the crowd came one symbol of faith. It was held by a small child who
carefully opened up the umbrella they had brought.
