In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
What Should be the Christian View of Anime?Joe Muraguri

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

A NOTE FROM PASTOR JOEY
Author and therapist, John Bradshaw, speaking on the power and
influence of a loving relationship said the following:
“To know and to expand your being you need to love. To love is to
become more than you were. That is the law of life. We can
accept it or we can reject it. So make your choice.”
When we choose to be loving, to share our life with those around
us, we participate in the divine. As children of faith, we are taught
or we are caught by the understanding that God loved us first. If
we incorporate that into our being, we then in turn love those
around us. To do the loving thing is not always easy or natural.
However, if we remember that we are loved beyond measure and
then respond in kind, we become partners in creation. We may
choose whom and how we love, yet we are the second act for we
were loved first by the very definition of love.

5. CHANGE THE DATE!
By Lynn Yoshizumi
Francis Nyaforh, who performs as Jaway, created a non-profit foundation, KIDS FOR JOY, to benefit
children, especially in Liberia, West Africa. The goals of the foundation are:
• Helping to bring about some form of relief and stability to underprivileged children especially in
Liberia, West Africa
• Helping to ease the process of acquiring education
• Providing resources that would create a fun, interactive, creative and safe environment
• Helping the kids feel like kids again
Francis is planning to visit Liberia in December. At that time he plans to visit the Carolyn A. Miller
School and deliver the funds that he has raised and present the school with some much needed
supplies. The school provides free education to over 500 children in Liberia.
Last month, we announced that the concert featuring Jaway
and Friends would be on Saturday, October 8th. Due to a
scheduling conflict, the date for the concert has been changed
to Saturday, November 5th, at 3:00 PM in the Social Hall.
Please make sure this event and date are on your calendar.
Tickets are not necessary. A free-will offering will be taken and
checks made payable to Kids for Joy will be gladly accepted.
As Wendy Welch, a Friday morning distribution volunteer, can
attest, Jerry will be sorely missed. It didn’t matter what the weather
was like or what holiday fell on Friday, Jerry always made sure that
the Friday morning distribution took place. He felt that hunger
didn’t take holidays or cease when the weather was bad.
It was Jerry who pushed to have sandwiches added to the bags
given to the homeless Pantry clients. Jerry was a member of
Temple Beth Hillel. Wendy and Lynn Yoshizumi attended the
funeral for Jerry in the packed chapel at Eden Memorial Park.
CHANGES IN THE LEADERSHIP OF THE PANTRY
In the spring Mel Wolf, who had served as treasurer of the NHIFP since
April 2010, advised that he was resigning effective the end of June. He is a
member of First Christian Church. The new treasurer, Lesley Clark, is also
a member of FCC.
On July 30th, the beloved Julius “Jerry” Rabinowitz passed away on his 91st
birthday. Jerry had served as the Friday Morning Pantry Distribution Team
Captain for at least 20 years.
6. UMCOR AWARDED FOUR STARS FROM CHARITY NAVIGATOR
Charity Navigator, the highly respected charity evaluator, has awarded UMCOR its top charity rating—
four stars—for UMCOR’s excellent performance in the two broad categories assessed: financial health and
accountability and transparency.
“We appreciate this rating because we know donors are looking for unbiased information to help them
evaluate the integrity of the organizations they contribute to,” said Roland Fernandes, chief operating
officer and general treasurer of the General Board of Global Ministries, of which UMCOR is a part.
Charity Navigator uses a team of professional analysts to evaluate the financial documents of U.S.-based
nonprofit organizations. UMCOR is among more than 8,000 such organizations Charity Navigator reviews
each year.
“Our ratings show givers how efficiently we believe a charity will use their support today, how well it has
sustained its programs and services over time and their level of commitment to good governance, best
practices and openness with information,” Charity Navigator explains on its website.
“UMCOR is proud to be recognized by Charity Navigator as an organization that has earned—and
continually seeks to earn—the trust of our supporters and partners,” Fernandes said.

7. MOONS COMING FOR A VISIT
By Lynn Yoshizumi
Gary and Cindy Moon, the missionaries we help support in Thailand, will be visiting us in October. They
will be attending the UMW monthly luncheon on Wednesday, October 12, 12 noon, in the Social Hall.
Afterwards they will present a program about their work with the girls at Angel’s Haven Orphanage, a
facility for children with HIV/AIDS in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Angel’s Haven opened in October 2010 to provide a safe environment and personal care for some of the
HIV/AIDS children in Thailand. It is among the first social ministries of the church in Thailand, where
United Methodist mission work is a fairly recent addition to the Southeast Asia Mission Initiative.
In addition to managing the orphanage they founded, they also plant churches and work in communities
to develop farms and other sustainable projects.
These are their thoughts on mission: -
Gary: “Mission is fulfilling God’s dream at the site where the missionary is called. Where God calls, I will
follow. I had a strong calling to be a missionary in 2002 and I prepared for seven years, sure that God was
calling me to serve in Cambodia. But in 2009 I was called to Thailand and I would never turn back.”
Cindy: “Mission is spreading God’s Kingdom. God gave us his dream and I want God to use me as a tool
to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and make his disciples.”

9. Reflections
Dr. Joey K. McDonald
Reflections are part of the weekly bulletin inserts for worship. This writing is originally from October 4, 2009
and Dr. McDonald’s sermon was titled “Do You Have a God Tattoo?” based on Hebrews 1:1-4, 2:5-12.
Some behavior theorists believe we are the sum total of our life experiences. For example, I
am a child of the sixties. This is the decade where I came to full maturity. This was a time of
rebellion against authority and cultural norms. Rebellion against my parents seemed silly to
me because I like them. The long hair and different clothes, I rather liked. I still do. However,
I admit a certain gratitude that no pictures of me in a silk paisley shirt, or cranberry cords with
pink patch pockets has survived.
We have a myriad of ways to mark events in our lives. Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations,
all are tied to dates on a calendar. We make note of these events year after year. Of course,
the dates are not always positive. Yet they leave their mark on our hearts just the same. Those
of us who have been around long enough can name dates such as November 22, 1963, April 4,
1968, June 4, 1968, September 11, 2001. These months and years book mark sad times in the
collective heart and mind of this country. If you were around for any of the dates, you
remember exactly where you were.
Events whether personal or global mark us. They leave something of the time and we carry it
forward with us as we journey. The author of Hebrews writing to new converts to Christianity
speaks mostly about the superiority of the Christian to other religious traditions. The writer
shares the concept of a “spiritual imprint,” opening the letter with these words: “Long ago
God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets, but in these last days
God has spoken to us by a Son, whom God appointed heir of all things, through whom God
also created the worlds. He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very
being and He sustains all things by His powerful Word.” The words were meant as formative
training for the emerging first century churches. They were to pattern themselves after the life
of Jesus, and in so doing their lives would be imprinted.
This pattern exists yet today. For when we gather to worship both individually and corporately,
our hope is to experience holiness. We seek the touch of God in the hymns and prayers. This
is especially true in the Sacrament of Communion. In the breaking of the bread and sharing
of the cup, we claim the real presence of Christ with us at table. If we take this seriously, how
can we not be imprinted by love, marked by grace, or touched by a holy hope?
10. Please welcome Tonya Peat to our staff!
Tonya has replaced Jessie Renslow as
Director of Outreach Ministries and took
over duties on August 22nd.
Many thanks to Phillip Mottaz for
training Tonya for her new position.

Annabelle, and their new dog, Mandi. She is a recent
breast cancer survivor! Diagnosed August of 2015.
Tonya’s work experience outside of being a busy mom,
includes running her own business with Stella & Dot and
Beauty Counter. Prior to this she worked as a Directors
Guild Production Associate on Daytime Dramas for 7
years. Make sure to congratulate her!
