Dear Friends,
This past week I learned of the vote by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Mexico
(Iglesia Nacional Presbiteriana de Mexico, or INPM), to sever ties with our national church, the PCUSA.
At the heart of INPM's action is outrage because of the PCUSA's change in ordination standards and
procedures. There is now a legal possibility, within the PCUSA's ordination structure, that elders, deacons and pastors who are involved in committed, loving relationships with people of the same sex
might be ordained. Ordination examinations will still be very rigorous. As always, officers of local
churches will still have to go through the nomination screening process and be elected by the congregations. Pastoral candidates will still have to meet all the academic and professional requirements,
have to pass all the psychological testing and be interviewed repeatedly by the Presbytery Committees
on Preparation for Ministry over a period of several years, before ordination. They must be accepted
by ordaining presbyteries as candidates under care for at least a year and then stand before the presbyteries for questioning before they can be approved for ordination, and this only after they've received a
specific call to serve in a church or validated ministry. They must evidence gifts for ministry, given by
the Holy Spirit , and a deep dedication to serve God's people.
I understand both sides of this argument, having heard them repeatedly over the past thirty
years or so. I've studied the Biblical passages used by those on both sides of the issue and I've been
involved in very emotional debates. I know there are people of this church who disagree strongly with
the action of the PCUSA and I realize that there are four churches in Sierra Blanca Presbytery, in southern New Mexico, who've recently chosen to leave our denomination because of it.
As in many other areas of disagreement within this congregation, I trust that the fellowship
and love we share, definitely gifts of the Holy Spirit, will keep us working and talking together, listening
to differing viewpoints, hearing and understanding them, even if we don't agree.
In her recent and very helpful "Ponderings", Sally Watson, our Regional Presbyter, quotes
Philippians 2:5, where Paul wrote, "Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus..." She interprets this passage, saying " Paul was not urging that we all think like him - heaven forbid! Paul was urging us to have the same mindset as Jesus: unconditional love, a willingness to sacrifice, emptying self so
that God can fill us. Frankly, I believe that we can come closer to that mindset by hanging out with people who are NOT like us than we will by associating only with people who would support our biases."
I'm saddened by the action of the INPM because Presbyterian Border Ministry has been and
continues to be an important part of my experience in ministry. Up to this point, that ministry has been
a mutual, collegial undertaking by Presbyterians on both sides of the border, a sign of unity in a region
divided by a physical wall, economic disparity and cultural differences. I hope and pray that the Lord
will make a way for us to practice unconditional love, forbearance and understanding in spite of our
disagreements. What a powerful witness to the world that would be!
May God bless us all in this time of broken relationships!
In unconditional love (i.e. "agape"),

Pots and Shawls and Cookbooks, Oh My!!
The Deacons recently concluded an 8-month project with a successful entrepreneurial adventure at the People's Faire. Since
January, we have been hosting monthly craft nights where we have welcomed anyone and everyone to join us for food, fellowship, and fun while we painted clay pots which were then planted and sold. We supplemented our pots with sales of
baked goods, and shared a booth space with Community Life who sold copies of our church cookbook. We raised over $500
(which included a generous donation) and the money is still coming in with another $100 this past Sunday from the sale of
some additional pots. Thank you to everyone who participated in this project and to those who purchased the lovely pots
and delicious baked goods!
Our Prayer Shawl ministry continues as we recently gave two more shawls to members of our church community Eleanor
Nelson, and Patrick Rucker. The shawls are created by members and friends of our church, passed among the congregation
during a worship service collecting silent prayers, and then presented to an individual who might be struggling or at a transition point in their life. Recipients of our prayer shawls include Trudy Trivalos, Randy Campbell, Selma Mathews, Henry Rodgers, Clara Rodgers, Verne Gonzales, Robert Jones, Gretchen Bush, Bob Hayes, Sarah Hager, and Fred Salas. If you can help by
making one of the simple shawls, or if you know of someone who would be comforted by one, please contact the Deacons or
the office.
(Mostly) Living Saints

John Hazelton
Starting September 11, the Serendipity class will resume its series called
“(Mostly) Living Saints.” The anthology The Impossible Will Take a Little
While: A Citizen's Guide to Hope in a Time of Fear by Paul Loeb is the text.
Loeb’s book started as a search for inspirational stories of activism that help
people maintain the hope to keep them acting even in difficult and frustrating political times – to lift their spirits and give them a sense of renewed possibility. The stories don't sugarcoat the obstacles. Instead, they inspire hope
by showing what keeps us keeping on--even when the odds seem overwhelming.
Judy and Michael Long
The class is studying the prose and poetry of nearly 50 modern Davids as
they go up against the Goliaths of our time, whether South African apartheid, the iron fist of Eastern European dictatorship, or Mississippi segregation. Books are available at class sessions or through the church office at cost
or for a donation.

Border and immigration issues are of increasing concern
to us all. What are the issues facing families split by the
border? Should undocumented migrants have driver’s
licenses? What are the implications of people crossing
the border? Do we have a responsibility to be informed
and involved? What are the laws? What’s the Dream
Act all about? How does immigration affect us in the Las
Vegas area?
These and other questions will be explored in a conference called The Border: Closer to Home Than You Think
on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 30 - Oct. 2. Keynote speakers, John Fife and Gene LeFebvre, human
rights activists and co-founders of No More Deaths from
Tucson, Arizona, will open the forum Friday, September
30, at 7 pm at United World College’s Kluge Auditorium.
The Conference will continue Saturday at Immaculate
Conception School (6th & National) at 9:00 am with
more speakers, break-out sessions, lunch and discussions. Registration is $15 which includes lunch. Students are free, but must pre-register. Scholarships are
available.

Members and friends of the FUPC Chancel Choir will participate in a performance of the Mass in G by
Franz Schubert on Sunday, September 11, 2011, at 4:00 pm at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church (5301 Ponderosa Ave. NE) in Albuquerque. As the 10th anniversary of the 9/11/01 bombings, this concert is to remember the 3,000 people who died that day and their families.
Choir Rehearsals Start September 7
The FUPC choirs rehearse in the Fellowship Hall on Wednesday evenings from September to May with the Beginning
Bells (name soon to be changed) from 5:15 to 6:15 pm, the Chancel Choir from 6:25 to 7:30 pm and the Rainbow
Ringers from 7:30 to 8:30 pm. The Chancel Choir usually sings for worship services on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the
month, while the bell choirs play on the 3rd Sundays of the month.
We are always looking for more members in each of the choirs and welcome anyone who wants to participate. If

Community Life Planning Session Scheduled
In preparation for another busy year, Community Life will have a planning session on Saturday, Sept. 24 from 9 a.m.
to 1:30 p.m. at the home of Bob and Sharon Vander Meer. On the agenda will be a review of current activities and
discussion of ideas for the next 12 months.
The committee is also recruiting additional members. This is an active committee that gets to do all the fun things so
while it is a commitment of time and energy it is also a great way to celebrate who we are as a faith community.
Please e-mail [email protected] if you are interested.
The planning session will include lunch, brainstorming and getting specific projects on the calendar. If you have
ideas put them on an I Wish card. Secretary Linda Solyntjes will see that the committee gets the information. Or call
any Community Life committee member: Sharon Vander Meer, Rudy Laumbach, Juli Salman, Carol Linder, Tori Conway, Tom Trigg or Gay Veit.
Already on the calendar for next year is the Homecoming event, the church-wide Retreat, continuation of fellowship
after church and continuation of the Getting to Know You article series in the newsletter. (See the articles in this
month’s newsletter about Cal Hager and Clara Rodgers.)
The cookbook sales are going well. There will be a special “tasting” event at the church in the fall to sell the books in
time for Christmas giving. The booth at People’s Faire brought in more than $300 in sales. Profits from cookbook
sales will be used for special projects.

Getting to Know You: Clara Rodgers
(Note: This article about Clara was written before her death on Sept 3rd. The family has
graciously approved our including it in this newsletter.)
Clara Rodgers talks fondly about her years of being a mom and grandma. Those times are
important to her. Her cherished memories of her beloved Henry make her smile. Had he
lived they would have celebrated 68 years together in June.
She misses him, but in a way that celebrates his life. Clara sees the life they built together and the family that came from
their love for each other: Jack, Jill, Mona and Bryan. Clara still experiences a deep sense of loss at the early death of Jill.
She takes pride in her other children and their ability to work through problems and find solutions. “I tell them to solve
their problems, not fret over them.” Her grandchildren are blessings she counts with joy.
Clara, 86, was born July 27, 1925 in Pennsylvania. Henry knew before Clara did that they were destined to be married.
“He was rooming at the home of a friend of mine. I always tell people they lived together before we did!” Her sparkling
eyes match the brightness of her laughter. “My friend told me Henry would look out the window and see me walking
toward my house and say, ‘I’m going to marry that girl.’ And sure enough he did.”
One of Clara’s greatest joys is the work she has done in the church over the years. She has faithfully served as a Deacon
multiple times. She doesn’t remember the number of years she served in an official capacity but knows it has been more
than ten. She has always been an active servant, ready to lend a hand where needed.
After they moved to New Mexico in the 1970s following Henry’s retirement as a chemist, they enjoyed making their
home in the Sapello valley. Henry, however, had a new career in mind one that required they return to the east so he
could attend seminary in 1976. He became a minister, which seemed a good fit for both Henry and Clara. His one pastoral job took them to Carrizozo where he was the pastor of three small churches with memberships of diverse personalities. “We didn’t accept the contract renewal. We came back to Las Vegas.”
With the exception of one foray into retail as a store clerk many years ago, Clara never worked outside the home. She
was (and is) a homemaker at heart. Her outside activities were primarily in service to the church. She has also been active in Extension Club, PEO and Eastern Star. Together Clara and Henry hosted many 50+ dinners and picnics at their
home.
When Clara talks about Deacon service she says that visitation is very important and the discussions held at meetings
help determine where the needs are and how the Deacons can help. “Being there for people, that’s what Deacons is
about.” She’s looking forward to a time when she can get back on the job. “When you’ve always been a doer, it’s hard to
be idle.”
Clara does not easily speak about her gifts of the spirit, but others could easily do so. She is kind, generous and always
ready to serve.

First Born of Northern New Mexico
We have been blessed and have several milestones to report:
*Now installed in our offices in LV Health Trust Building--9th St entrance, across from Wilson Complex. In the basement we
have a small office with bathroom and two connected rooms for conferences and training plus an area for educational materials. Mailing address is P O Box 623, LV.
*Roberta Fischer-Romero has joined the team and is helping with the set-up materials. She was in a visitation program in
Santa Fe and is enthusiastic plus brings ECE experience. (Emma Estrada's grandson, Jude's wife)
*We were notified by LANL Foundation that we were included in their Daniel's Foundation grant and will receive
$10,000. The LANL Foundation Grant is a $25,000 matching grant so we are exploring other foundations and possible benefactors.
*We have four confirmed Board Members and to soon announce a full board to assist our 14 member Task Force which has
led us up to this point.
*UWC has agreed to be our Fiscal Agent.
*We have a meeting set up with Alta Vista Hospital CEO and PR people. LANL Foundation Director will be in Las Vegas also to
meet with the Task Force and hospital.
*Vicki Johnson, Founder of the First Born Program, has agreed to send us licensing and curriculum materials--all on
faith. That will help us get started in late fall.
Thank you for those who have helped us with support from Session and Mustard Seed and prayers and words of encouragement.
PS - We still need a small fan, small file cabinet, book shelves for materials, and paint to brighten our offices--a couple of gallons would be great. Rosalie Lopez, Interim Coordinator
Samaritan House
After several years of running Samaritan House with Board Committees, we have advertised and interviewed for
an Executive Director. The person should be hired and working shortly after this newsletter goes out. Gretchen
Bush ably led us as President for several years and much of the daily work fell on her shoulders. We appreciate her
dedication during the transition to committee supervision of programs and her vision for hiring another Executive Director.
Two other additions are David Herrera as part-time Manager of the Thrift Store and Andrea Lucero as part-time Manager of the
Casa de Samaritan Shelter. We still have Coni Cote as part-time Food Coordinator for the Shelter. The date for reopening the
night shift at the shelter will be announced soon. If any volunteers would like to work the all night shift once or twice a month,
call Andrea at 429-6989. Of course we are always pleased to have volunteers for the early evening shift also and appreciate
the many who have helped over the summer--Katie always works when she is in Las Vegas.
A special thank you to Tori who has coordinated the Sunday Night meals which is sponsored by the Deacons--the Presbyterian
and friends support to provide acceptable meals is appreciated. Many who supply meals also stay and visit with our guests and
the support is great.
We still need volunteers at the Thrift Store. Hours are M-F 10-4 for customers and 9-10 and 4-5 plus Saturday 9-5 are for taking
in donations, sorting, and restocking. Call 454-4065 and talk to David or Roberta to schedule times to work. Once a week or
even every 2 weeks would help so much. Our recycling program is now sending trailers every 3-4 weeks and keeps 11,000
pounds of recyclable materials out of land fills.
As has always been the case, Samaritan House is aggressive and successful but continues to operate on faith. To prevent
Board burn-out we need an Executive Director for operations and Managers for our two biggest programs. Food Distribution
continues to supply bags to between 220 and 250 families per month, Crop Walk supported us last year and have designated
Samaritan House for a portion of their local funds. With community help we continue to address the problems of feeding the
poor and helping with housing.

Saints Alive at Seven-Thirty-Five!
Some people know parts of the early morning life of our church, but many have never
experienced it, and few have seen it all.
The Church at Rest
Another Sunday dawn comes to the Meadow City and all is quiet at the First United Presbyterian Church. The sign board on
Douglas Ave. has been changed to show the title of the day’s sermon. The sanctuary has been straightened up, cleaned,
and arranged for morning worship. Current schedules and information on special offerings or activities have been added to
church bulletin boards. Classrooms, Fellowship Hall, the restrooms and hallways have been prepared for another Sabbath
filled with activity. The church complex is dormant -- but ready, thanks to the work of many throughout the week.
Before full light, a car pulls up near the front of the church and a solitary figure emerges, takes a few packages, satchels,
and such out of the car and walks to the west entrance. The early bird unlocks the door and turns on various lights on the
way to the kitchen, looking the place over, sure that all is ready.
A few minutes later, the pastor arrives, enters the complex through the east door and goes to his office to get ready for the
day’s activities.
Preparing the Jumpstart Breakfast
The satchel-bearer is the coordinator for the Jumpstart Breakfast, which begins at 8:30 during the school year. The packages now on the kitchen counter contain a few items needed to round out the breakfast supplies stocked in the refrigerator and cabinets. Unless the day’s coordinator wants to cook, breakfast will consist of cereal, fruit, and yoghurt; fruit juice
and milk; toast, butter, and jam; either waffles with regular and sugar-free syrup or bagels with cream cheese, and regular
and decaffeinated coffee and tea. These items are donated by the coordinators or others and are always in the kitchen.
The coordinator goes to work, running water through the sinks, starting the dishwasher, and washing any dishes left in the
kitchen during the week. Then, out come the toasters, breadboard, dishes, glasses, and food items. Finally, the coffee pots
are checked and cleaned if they were left dirty after their last use, the coffee station restocked, pots filled and turned on in
time to have fresh hot coffee on hand by 8:30.
The Guests Arrive
As the aroma of coffee fills the fellowship hall, others begin to arrive. There are early morning regulars, from the congregation, the community, and, in the winter, from the Casa de Samaritan. Most know and greet each other: strangers get a
friendly welcome. Church business begins. Some Sundays an accompanist needs to be let into the sanctuary for early practice. A few members of a choir arrive before their practice session and grab a cup. A deacon may arrive to get the communion service ready and make sure the oil candles are full. One Sunday a month all the deacons arrive for a meeting.
Some pour themselves coffee, make tea, or grab something to eat.
Gradually, more people arrive hoping they are early enough to tank up and grab a bite before Bible class or the Serendipity
class. The pastor emerges from his office for a cup and a snack, greeting all he meets.
Early Morning Child Care
Just before adult classes begin at 9:30, the church child care provider arrives, so that parents don’t have to split their concentration between class and child rearing. Children can continue to eat breakfast while the adult/youth classes meet and
then move on to their own classes at 10:15.
If there are no children to care for, the caregiver starts cleaning up the kitchen so it will be ready for those providing food
for fellowship after worship. As cleanup progresses, choir members and early arrivals come through hoping for a snack or a
beverage, and life in the church is in full swing.
If you haven’t participated in these early morning rituals, try it out. It makes getting to church a lot easier when you know
that breakfast awaits, along with the company of folks who take a fairly leisurely approach to starting their day. If you feel
inclined, volunteer to coordinate some Sunday. There is a sign-up sheet beside the kitchen door!
Breakfast and classes happen every week, except the Sundays of major holidays such as Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and around Easter.

Getting to Know You: Cal Hager
By Chad Boliek
The Hager family moved to Las Vegas in 1964, when Cal joined the faculty of New
Mexico Highlands University. They became members of First United Presbyterian
Church around then, during the time of Bob Plagge’s pastorate. During his 47year membership Cal has served as both elder and deacon.
Cal came to NMHU from the education faculty of Western Illinois University, Macomb, Ill., to teach graduate
level courses in education and history. He retired from NMHU in 1990.
Cal was born on April 23, 1925 in Fairbury, Nebraska, where his father, in the midst of the Great Depression,
found work as a boilermaker. Cal graduated from high school in Bremerton, Wash., in 1943, where part of the
family had moved when his dad got a job working as a “caulker” and “chipper” at the Puget Sound Navy Yard.
In 1948, he graduated from the University of Washington, earning a BA in history. He later received his PhD in
education administration from the University of Nebraska.
Cal and wife, Norma, first became Presbyterians in Macomb, Ill., at the invitation of their poker-playing friends
who happened to be the pastor of the Presbyterian Church and his father, the former pastor. Coincidentally, the
pastor’s daughter later became Cal’s student-teacher advisee after the Hager’s moved to Las Vegas.
Norma, who passed away last October, and Cal first met at the bank where Norma worked in Syracuse, Neb.
Norma was then chair of the Syracuse Water Committee, and Cal was winding up local research for his doctoral
dissertation on community development. They were married at the Methodist Church in Syracuse and had been
married for 57 years at the time of Norma’s death.
The Hagers had four children, three still living: Ruth Emily, a retired school teacher residing in Indiana; Alan, representing the Northern California Automobile Club in Oklahoma City; and Sarah of the New Mexico Department
of Finance and Administration, living in Pojoaque, N.M.
Cal says his major interest these days is “staying alive!” He goes about this by “eating, sleeping, taking about
two dozen pills daily, and working-out regularly at the Las Vegas Rec Center.” Otherwise he gets along well on
his own, living with his loyal dachshund companion, Oscar (as in Meyer Wiener).
Between bouts of higher education, Cal managed to fight in two wars, first as a combat infantryman in WWII,
participating in the European invasion and defeat of Germany. He landed with troops at Normandy on “D-day +
7,” and then marched and fought from St. Lo in France to Pilsen in Czechoslovakia. Later, as happened with
many WWII vets, he was recalled to active duty, this time as a lieutenant, and more combat in the Korean War.
When asked about hobbies, Cal recalled that once when introducing himself as a new member of the Kiwanis
Club in Illinois he dutifully recited his name, occupation, and so forth, going on to say that he had been married
two years, had three children and had no other hobbies. He now insists that the word “other” was not part of
the original statement. Laughing friends, however, insist otherwise.

Getting to Know You: Cal Hager
At any rate, Cal still says he has no major hobbies, but he does love to read. His current favorite book is Counsel to Presidents by Clark Clifford.
He’s not at all fond of today’s movies, however, insisting that “all they like to show is sex, violence and drugs! Sin with no
salvation.”
One-liners!
You might be surprised to learn that . . . “I once spent a night in jail in Fairfield, Iowa.”
(You’ll have to ask Cal.)
In my next life I’d like to be . . . “a mouse – well-fed, and known for my prolific procreational abilities!”
What makes you happy? “Breakfast.”
Sad? “No breakfast.”
Travel? “Wouldn’t mind going back to Japan, but China would also be an intriguing
destination. Norma and I also enjoyed memorable Caribbean cruises.”
Sports? “In football, I root for Highlands but mostly for the Nebraska Corn Huskers. I also like the San Francisco
49rs”.
Food? “Steak and potatoes.”
"What if “Evangelism” Meant Just Being Yourself?
If the gospel really is good news, why
“witnessing” often a negative experiWouldn’t it be great if you could
to become a spiritual salesperson?"
do most Christians avoid evangelism? Why is
ence, for both the sender and receiver?
communicate the good news without having
Doable evangelism with the help of Jim Henderson.
During the Homecoming Season this past May and June, the Adult Sunday School class read Jim Henderson's
book Evangelism Without Additives. It is not too late to enjoy this book. Evangelism is about listening to what people really need, praying for someone even when they don't know it, using everyday experiences to demonstrate
what it means to have Jesus in our lives.
CROP HUNGER WALK will take place on Saturday, October 15,
from 9:00 am to noon at the United World College campus.
