When I was in my last year of graduate school in 1986, now amazingly twenty
nine years ago, life was hectic. I was serving 29 Palms United Methodist
Church full time. Sue had no career option in the high desert that didn’t
involve a hair net so she stayed with her company in Orange County and came
up on weekends. Our sons were with me or in child care. I had three semesters
of course work left, the last one seemed the toughest. My Dad had died the
previous November, and I was driving 120 miles, one way to school...sometimes
five days a week. It was especially difficult for an 8:00 AM class. This meant
waking my sons at 5:00 AM so I could make class.
One cold and rainy spring morning in March of 1986, we were running just a
bit behind schedule. I started the trek to school, only to run over a rock that
had washed onto the road causing me to lose a hubcap. I stopped, found the
hubcap, pounded it back on getting my hands filthy and skinning a knuckle in
the process. As highway 62 turns south heading out of the Morongo Valley, the
storm worsened and slowed my journey. I could feel my class slipping away.
Finally, I reached interstate 10 and headed west toward Claremont. With the
rain still falling, the early morning sun was just peeking through the clouds
behind me. Then a marvelous thing happened...a beautiful, full rainbow
appeared in front of me, and stranger still it began to rain inside the car. At
least I assumed so because my cheeks were wet. I was crying, stopping to
compose myself, I walked toward the rainbow a few feet pausing to take it in
along with the sweetness of the desert air. Back on the road, for as long as I
could, I just basked in the glory of that rainbow.
This was B.C.P., before cell phones (imagine that) so after class, which I indeed
made on time, I called my Mother and shared the story. She said, “When you
saw the rainbow you thought of your Dad.” I said, “How did you know?” and
she reminded me of how my Dad would stop the car on vacations to have us
admire rainbows and remind us of the Noah blessing. What makes this
significant is that my parents’ relatives lived in Pennsylvania and Michigan, so
the car trips were long and deliberate, dawdling was not on the agenda. Except
when there was a rainbow, then Dad would stop the car and make sure we all
saw it. Several years ago, my son Aaron drove his 1969 Plymouth Barracuda to
Carlisle Pennsylvania to a national show for Chrysler enthusiasts. I met him in
Chicago and drove the twenty-one hundred miles back with him. It was August
and we were in the Midwest so there were thunder storms. Somewhere in Iowa
there was a big one, but there was also a beautiful rainbow. Aaron stopped and
said, “Let’s take a good look.” So we did. Every time I see a rainbow, I think of
my Dad, because he knew every color in the band across the sky gives us good
reason to be glad and hopeful.
Your Friend and Pastor,
Joey

4. For about 11 years now, the Mission Team has been providing baskets to disadvantaged
children in our community and we invite you to participate. Baskets filled with little things you
would like to find in a green and yellow basket! Chocolate bunnies, individually wrapped
candies, small toys, books, stuffed animals, crayons, and soap bubbles!
This year, our church family will be assembling 150 baskets!
The baskets will be delivered to Hope for the Valley Rescue Mission
and to the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission.
We will collect items on three Sundays, March 8, 15, & 22.
Please leave your donations on the table by Boyer Chapel.
On Palm Sunday, March 29th, we will all help assemble the baskets
following coffee fellowship outside the Lounge.
(The baskets and Easter grass are being provided).
Thank you for your support of this meaningful project! From Your Mission Team.

children
“A Tisket, A Tasket...a green and yellow basket.”
I wrote a letter to my love and on the way I
dropped it. This song dates back to 1879 when it
accompanied a children’s round dance. It was
heard in the opening scenes of The Grapes of
Wrath and Ella Fitzgerald is remembered for her
well-known recording of it. I’ll bet the children
who come to the Hope of the Valley Rescue
Mission are singing “a-tisket, a-tasket, I hope I get
a basket...” and they will with our help.
It is time to order your Easter Lilies!
Each year, a cross is erected in the chancel of the Sanctuary, which
is made of Easter Lilies. The lovely plants are given in memory and
in honor of loved ones and are $10 per plant.
The plants may be taken home following the 10:30 am
worship service on Easter Sunday, April 5th.

6. Norman also donated two lectionary commentaries by Ronald J. Allen & Clark M. Williamson. In
“Preaching the Old Testament” the authors encourage the church and its preachers to rediscover the Old
Testament as a vibrant wellspring of Christian faith and life. “Preaching the Letters without Dismissing
the Law” helps preachers see how knowledge of 1st century Judaism can help them avoid incorporating
misunderstandings and stereotypes into their sermons on the letters.
Timothy Keller, a Presbyterian minister, has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced “doubts”
skeptics have brought to his church and in “The Reason for God” he dismantles each of them and
explains how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief.
In “The Screwtape Letters”, satirist C. S. Lewis provides a series of lessons in the importance of taking a
deliberate role in Christian faith, by portraying a typical human life, with all its temptations and failings,
seen from devil’s viewpoints. Screwtape, who holds an administrative post in the bureaucracy of Hell, acts
as a mentor to Wormwood, the inexperienced (and incompetent) tempter. In the 31 letters which comprise
the book, Screwtape gives Wormwood detailed advice on various methods of undermining faith and
promoting sin, interspersed with observations on human nature and Christian doctrine.
“The Confessions of St. Augustine” is a very moving diary of a man’s journey to the fountain of God’s
grace. He shares his innermost thoughts and conversion experiences and wrestles with spiritual questions.
If you are looking for something lighter, try “The Unofficial United Methodist Handbook”. It is a
combination of historical and theological information along with fun facts and useful tips on being a
church-going follower of Jesus Christ presented in a practical United Methodist, tongue-in-cheek sort of
way.
During the month of March, these 9 books may be found on the piano in the Church Lounge/Library.
Norman Kelsey donated a number of very special books to the church
library. For many years the library has contained a set of the Daily Study
Bible series.
William Barclay of Scotland dedicated his life to "making the best biblical
scholarship available to the average reader.” The eventual result was the
Daily Study Bible, a set of 17 commentaries on the New Testament. These
books go verse by verse through the New Testament, listing and examining
every possible interpretation known to Barclay and providing all the
background information he considered relevant, all in laypersons' terms.
In recent years, the commentaries were fully updated with the help of Barclay's son, Ronnie Barclay.
Thanks to Norman, “The Gospel of Matthew, Vol. One”, “The Letters of James and Peter” and ”The
Letters of James and Peter” of the New Daily Study Bible series are now in the church library.

Librarian
A Mossimo reversible hooded jacket has been in the Lounge
for over a month. One side is gray fleece, the other is gray
and black plaid. Is it yours or do you know who it belongs
to? Please pick it up before the end of March.

7. For the 3rd year in a row, our United Methodist
Women unit was awarded the banner for
having the highest percentage of Reading
Program readers in our district. The bright
red banner is currently displayed in the Lounge
in front of the fireplace.
Jodi Smith was our most prolific reader,
achieving Level IV by reading a total of 20
Reading Program books. There were 5 women
who each read 10 books to achieve Level II –
Kathi Ellis, Kim Miller, Hanna Sack, Marijane
Settlemyer and Carol Van Meter. Judy Palmer,
Pattie Rogers and Lynn Yoshizumi achieved
Level I by reading 5 books. Congratulations to
all of these Certificate recipients.
“An Invisible Thread” by Laura Schroff and
Alex Tresniowski, the true story of an 11-year
old boy, a busy sales executive and an unlikely
meeting with destiny was the most read book in
2014. Laura Schroff was a successful ad sales
representative in Manhattan. Maurice was a
homeless 11-year old panhandler. He asked for
change; she kept walking. Then something
stopped her and she went back. She continued
to go back again and again, forming a
friendship that has spanned almost 3 decades
and brought life to an overscheduled
professional and hope to a desperate boy.
Sixteen new books were purchased for the
2015 Reading Program; they can be found to
the left of the fireplace in the Lounge. You
don’t have to be a member of UMW, you don’t
even have to be a woman to read and enjoy
these books. In the process you will broaden
your understanding, deepen your faith, and
increase your knowledge.

night - invite your family or friends -

FOR NEW MOMS & BABIES IN NEED
The late Rose Marie Sparling started Tabitha Circle
in the mid-90’s. Rose Marie’s friend worked at Olive
View Hospital and told her that some of the babies
were sent home wrapped in paper because they were
so poor they did not have blankets. Rose gathered a
group of talented women to make baby blankets.
After 20 years, they still meet every month and make
10 - 11 blankets per month. If you do the math, that is
about 2,640 blankets. Each blanket is prayed over and
given to the new mom with a note attached that says:
May God’s Grace be upon this blanket.
This baby blanket has been blessed especially for you.
Love, prayers and hugs have been tied into each blanket.
From the United Methodist Women
That’s 2,640 babies that went home with something
made with love and care.
Olive View Hospital has requested nursing covers and
demise garments (used to cover still born babies).
Tabitha now makes these items too.
Tabitha Circle can use fabric, thread and monetary
donations to continue with this precious project.
One of the biggest expenses is the personalized tag
that they sew into each baby blanket. “Handmade by the
United Methodist Women of North Hollywood.” It’s $100 for
all the blankets they will make in a year.
Tabitha Circle members currently: Hanna Sack,, Helena
Walle, Judy White, Joyce Cunningham and Jodie Smith.

9. Gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing lay the foundation for all United Methodist Committee on
Relief work by covering the costs of doing business. This means all contributions designated to
specific programs can go 100 percent to those programs because UMCOR’s basic expenses are
covered. Neither UMCOR’s administration costs nor the numerous Advance programs for disaster
relief, aiding refugees and alleviating human suffering around the world receive apportionment funds.
Sunday, March 15th, is designated the One Great Hour of Sharing but donations may be
made to UMCOR any time throughout the year. You may donate by writing a check to NOHO
FUMC with UMCOR on the memo line and placing it in the offering plate. Our church will send
one check for all UMCOR donations to the national headquarters.
A trip to southern Asia allowed me to view a blanket-making project among Afghan refugees housed in
Pakistan. The warm, cotton-filled blankets offered thousands of people protection from the severe winter
cold. In Bangladesh, I traveled out to the silt islands where UMCOR has built cyclone shelters. These
shelters provide the poor farmers and families protection from flooding and high winds caused by
frequent cyclones that strike the region. In Moscow, once again I visited a number of institutions serving
disabled children. UMCOR has provided much-needed medicines and food for the children. Most
recently, I toured Sager Brown, an institution in Baldwin, LA, that was reopened after Hurricane
Andrew and is now serving as a place of healing and hope to the once devastated community.
It is truly a remarkable story that is being written daily. If the story could all be contained in a single
book, each page would take you to a different place and speak of different projects and faces. But while
the story would take you around the world, the theme would be a common one of God’s people bringing
to a hurting world, compassion…hope…unqualified love.
By Lynn Yoshizumi
The following article excerpt was written by the Rev.
Kenneth R. Lutgen during his 5-year (1992-1997) service
as associate general secretary for the United Methodist
Committee on Relief (UMCOR). The article, which
promotes One Great Hour of Sharing, the financial
backbone of UNCOR’s worldwide ministry, was originally
published in an UMCOR Update newsletter dated Winter,
1993-94.

11. Reflections
! Joey K. "Donald
Reflections are part of the weekly bulletin inserts for worship. This writing is originally from February 8, 2009
and Dr. McDonald’s sermon was titled “The Weight of Opinions and a $3.00 Cup of Coffee”
which was based on 1 Corinthians 7:29-31.
In the two letters which the Apostle Paul wrote the people of Corinth the questions and
concerns of both parties come out of perceptions and opinions surrounding issues of doctrine
and ethics relative to the faith community. What does the Church look like in terms of who we
say we are, and how do we relate to each other and the world? Since Paul first brought the
message of Christ to Corinth, he held a deep affection for them. Scholars surmise this was
reciprocal, for his letters appear to be in response to letters first sent to him. This does not
mean they agreed on everything. Hence Paul’s direct language in reminding the people that
the life they have accepted in Christ is very different than the one they left as non believers.
Have you ever disagreed with someone for whom you had respect, perhaps even loved? I
would be surprised if your response was no. After all who among us has not had words with a
friend or family member over politics, religion, philosophy or culture to name a short list. Who
doesn’t have an Uncle or Cousin with whom we carried on verbal battle over what seemed
clear and important differences of opinion. The information we ingest whether it be read or
heard, and how we process it, informs our thought, having a great deal to do with how we
perceive the world. It is then through our perceptions that we formulate opinions. Which is to
say that opinions often have little or no basis in fact or reality. This means if we perceive
someone to be bad they become so. If we think something is wrong or for that matter idiotic,
it becomes so, through perception. In this process perception becomes thought, thought
becomes opinion and opinion held as dogma becomes a point of conflict when we encounter
opinion different from our own.
One of my favorite professors when class dialogue and discourse had moved in debate and
diatribe would caution us to curb our opinions. He would say, “For opinions are like armpits
and each of us has two, however, one is liable to stink at any given time. Besides, he would go
on, a strident and well thought opinion and fifty cents will buy you a cup of coffee.” Though
the price of a cup of coffee has gone up considerably, the principle still holds. I hear that
phrase from time to time from a voice inside my head. It usually comes when I am at my
strident best, railing against some opinion I perceive an affront to my humanity. It never fails
to cause me to smile. Then I head off to find a good $3.00 cup of coffee.
