Keeping Members and Friends Informed
Promoting Fellowship
Contributing
to Spiritual Growth
Central's doors open wider
Joi Tennant, Administrative Council Co-Chair
Out of Church and Society Commission and Ad Council a new ministry called,
"Central's Open Door," is emerging. It is our vision to gradually become
more intentional in addressing the ongoing needs of the daily visitors who
come through our doors looking for shelter, help, a listening ear, food,
bus fare, spiritual guidance, hope. A task force is meeting to solve this
issue of how we as a downtown church can more adequately serve the poor and
homeless of our neighborhood.
One new way we are expanding our hospitality is by making our First Floor
Lounge available to anyone who needs a comfortable refuge off the street
every Thursday from 10 to 11:30 AM. This is the time people often are waiting
in our lobby area for the Fellowship Lunch. It is our intention to have 2
hosts/hostesses during that time in the lounge to greet the people who come,
welcome them to the lounge and offer a friendly, listening ear. Joyce Joranko
is working on finding folks who would be willing to accept this ministry
of hospitality once each month. This service also has the bonus benefit of
serving our pastor and staff, in that it allows them a little space of time
when they are freed from this otherwise daily responsibility.
We will also be opening Mary Sabina Chapel each Thursday from 11:30 a.m.
to 1:00 p.m. so that anyone may enter the chapel to pray or meditate. We
will unlock the outside entrance to the chapel and place a sign on the sidewalk
inviting people to use the chapel during that time. We are hoping to have
four volunteers, one per week, to be chapel hosts. This person would unlock
the doors, put the sign out on the sidewalk, perhaps play appropriate CD's
softly as background music, and just be a warm, accepting presence in the
room. We might offer some written prayer or meditative helps as well. Joi
Tennant has accepted responsibility for finding the volunteers for this ministry
of chapel hosts.
You can contact Joyce Joranko at 485-6425 or Joi Tennant at 989-224-8159
to offer your services for these new service
ministries.

Pastor's Pen
As I write this, in the aftermath of the tragic week of destruction and death
in New York and Washington, American warplanes are headed to the Middle East,
presumably to strike at the heart of Afghanistan and bin Laden. It is a
terrifying prospect, and already the Afghan people are running for
cover.
Among the flood of Email that I have received ( as I am sure you have as
well ), is a letter written by Bishop Peter Storey, United Methodist Bishop
from South Africa, who has spent much time in the US and is a friend of many
here in our area. As a seasoned veteran of fighting the Apartheid regime
in S.A., and as a disciple of Jesus Christ, he is a keen observer of the
ways of the world, and has put his life on the line in the fight for justice
in South Africa. In his long letter to friends in the U.S., is this
paragraph:
"How is it that we continue to be defrauded by the false security of military
might? The capacity to build an anti-ballistic-missile system, and to "project
power" across the globe, seems almost ludicrous right now. The greatest military
power on earth has been struck at its heart by three of its own commercial
airliners, held to ransom by a handful of knife-wielding fanatics. Yet, nothing
in the rhythm of human stupidity is likely to change. The saber-rattling
will grow louder, the outworn weapons of war will be dusted off, and soon,
somewhere in the "third-world," – the world I live in – many more
people will die, adding to God's tears. More hatred will be stored up in
the ruins of some dusty country. We must bear witness to another way –
the Jesus way of nonviolence. This is never more difficult than when we feel
ourselves and our loved ones to be under attack, yet that is surely the time
relevant."
We must continually be at prayer to discern the will of God as followers
of Jesus Christ, as well as place the mind and heart of Christ at the center
of our lives to know how Jesus would have us act in this troubling
time.
A suggestion for a place to start, beyond our own prayer lives: On Sunday
evenings, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., we are studying the mind and heart
of Jesus in the area of violence and non-violence. We are doing this through
a book (the most influential book I have ever read other than the Bible)
called, "The Powers that Be" by Walter Wink. You may want to join in. It
could not be more relevant, timely, challenging and worthy of Christian
discipleship.
In the meantime, may God be with us all as we try to be faithful disciples
of Jesus Christ amidst such tragedy and challenge.
Grace and peace,
John Boley
If you fear, cast all your fears on God; that anchor holds.

Education Notes
Pamala Philips, Director of Education and Youth
Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Again, you have
blessed my heart and the Christian Education programs. Your love and support
are unfailing.
The 2001-2002 Christian Education Year promises to be an exciting
one.
Kathy MacLaren is doing a toddler and pre-school program two Sunday mornings
a month. We are looking for someone very special to help Kathy complete the
curriculum on the other two Sundays. We appreciate Melissa Richardson, our
child care provider for infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers. Kathy will
add a rich and wonderful component to Sunday morning childcare, with bible
stories, songs and games. I saw Kathy in action at VBS this year: our toddlers
and pre-schoolers are in for a real treat. I may have to try to pass myself
off as a pre-schooler soon just to enjoy Kathy and the activities.
Sunday School Teachers are:
Diane Boley and Colleen Winefeld – Eight year old elementary class.
Dave Stinson and Terri Brooks – Nine, Ten and Eleven year old elementary class.
Mike Cooper and Jeff Holoweiko – 6th and 7th Grade Junior High class
Julie Cooper and Deb Nourse – 8th – 12th Grade Senior High class
Dale Kirkby – Adult Bible Class, Genesis – Revelation
Anne Forgrave and Kathy MacLaren – Coffee House Discussion
Church and Society – Current Issues Oct. 7th & 14th
Missions Commission will begin a six week study on "The Children of Africa",
Oct. 21.
UMYF grows – needs advisors
Bob Pena, Dennis Kelley and I are delighted to tell you that our youth group
continues to grow in both size and spirit! And this year, we are going to
have two comprehensive programs.
Because of our growth, we now have more than enough kids to support a Jr.
High Youth Group and a Sr. High Youth Group. The only thing we are short
on are youth advisors. I challenge you to examine your hearts, observe our
youth, and pray. Ask yourself and God if there is an opportunity and a call
for you to be a part of this dynamic, fun and rewarding program. The groups
will meet simultaneously on Sunday evenings from 5 – 7:00 p.m. We need
a minimum of two additional advisors for the Sr. High Group, and a minimum
of four more for the Jr. High Group. Contact Pamala Phillips in the Christian
Ed office for details.

Music Office shows its new face
You are cordially invited to walk through the Music Office on Sunday, November
4, All Saints' Day, as you make your way toward the coffee fellowship hour.
Memorial funds have been combined with money from several donors, bringing
to beautiful fruition the many efforts of:
the Memorial Funds Committee, under the capable leadership of Mary Jessup
the original Ad Hoc Committee
the Décor Committee, chaired by Mary Ellen Maas
Stephanie and Bob Westerfield
the Board of Trustees
the Music Committee
Rob Forgrave, Brian Halter, and Dave Schuurmans
As you view the outcome, I hope you'll agree that the results present a warm,
professional face to the people of Central and to the public.
Sudanese choir to participate in worship
Sunday, November 11, marks the day when this group, comprised mainly of the
"lost boys of Sudan", will share their music with us. The choir, accompanied
by rhythmic drumming, has as its main goal the sharing of insights into their
studies of Africa's children. This promises to be an exciting
opportunity.
You are invited . . .
….to join in with any or all of the three ministry opportunities that
are afforded for adults by the music department. Each group provides weekly
times of fellowship, growth, and sharing. Won't you take a look at your schedule
and give prayerful consideration to joining us now, as the new program year
is unfolding?
5:30 p.m., Thursdays – Spirit Singers rehearse in the music rehearsal
room.
6:30 p.m., Thursdays – Central Bell Ringers rehearse in the sanctuary.
7:30 p.m., Thursdays – Chancel Choir rehearses in the music rehearsal
room.
Welcome Randi!
Randi Bolding, former alto section leader of the Chancel Choir, has joined
the Central staff. She serves as Director of Children's Choirs and the Youth
Musical Group.
Miss Bolding brings a wealth of professional experience to this new role.
Most, though not all, has been church related. She has worked with a variety
of children's groups, ranging from early elementary through high school ages.
Sports, church school, and VBS experiences have extended her rich experiential
base of musical activities. Beyond all this, and most importantly, she loves
kids.
A native of Texas, Randi is a talented musician in her own right. She is
actively involved in a variety of MSU choral activities, and touts an a cappella
group, "Wicked Kiwi," as being at the front and center of her fun, time,
and effort there.
Even on the first day of this program year, Randi's face was familiar to
the children and youth of Central. Last year, she substituted for "Miss Kate"
(and very capably, I might add) whenever the need presented
itself.
Some Sunday morning, won't you please extend a warm greeting in Miss Randi's
direction?
Worship planning meeting
All are invited to work with us at the next gathering of this group. We'll
meet at the Waverly Road Flap Jack Shack on Friday, October 26, at 10:00
a.m. Your input is encouraged and valued.
Organist Fred Swann returns to Central
Friday, November 2, at 7:30 p.m. will mark Fred Swann's return to Central
where his magical touch will demonstrate the full breadth of our Jaeckel
organ's rich and varied capabilities. Leading into the concert will be a
carillon recital featuring accomplished carillonist Julia Walton.
The event is co-sponsored by the Greater Lansing Chapter, American Guild
of Organists (AGO), and Central UMC, with expenses shared by the AGO and
Central's Delamarter Fund. Following the recital, a reception will be held
in Fellowship Hall. Reception expenses will be offset by a free-will offering
to be taken at the concert.
We can be proud that Mr. Swann, former organist at California's famous Crystal
Cathedral, has chosen to include Central in this celebratory tour which marks
his retirement from a lengthy and brilliant
career.
United Methodist Women
Pat Mort, President
These are difficult times for our nation and our world. There seems so little
we can do to comfort a world hurting so much. But we can do the most powerful
thing of all – we can pray.
Pray for peace. Pray for strength. Pray for restraint. Pray for understanding.
Pray for guidance. Pray for those in New York and Washington. Pray for those
with family and friends lost or hurting. Pray for our children. Pray for
our leaders. Pray for our families. Pray for a change of heart for all those
who hate. Pray for those misguided among us who answer hate with hate. Pray
for those quick to anger. Pray for those who never seem to change. If you've
prayed all these prayers before, pray them again.
Look for ways to offer hope and faith to a world desperately needing both.
Offer a kind word. Say "I'm sorry" when you are, and mean it. Say "I love
you" more, and mean it. Hug those around you more often. Remember our brothers
and sisters everywhere.
At work this week someone said God was angry. I say God is crying; crying
with us all. It's up to us to come away from the events of September 11 with
strength and resolve, to show all around us we won't answer hate with hate.
We are the Children of God. We are all the Children of God. Let us covenant
together to remember this in all we do from this time forward. Remember to
pray. Pray for the victims. Pray for the brave. Pray for the scared. Pray
for us all.
World Thank Offering winding up
Dottie Stark would appreciate this offering being finished in October or
early November to make it easier for her to get the books done for District.
There is a World Thank Offering program in the UMW box if any Circle would
like to use it.
Conference Annual coming up
Dottie Stark will be driving to Conference Annual. If you would like to ride
along, please contact Dottie. Conference Annual is October 20. Registration
sheets are available on the UMW Board in Fellowship
Hall.
Christmas by Candlelight
December 4, 6:30 p.m. in Central's Fellowship Hall.
Hostesses for each table will provide their dessert. Rebekah Ruth Circle
will hostess our punch bowl before the Candlelight. Favors, beverages, table
service and decorations will be provided. It was felt this would make things
easier for the hostesses. We have four (4) hostesses committed so far. If
you would like to hostess a table, please contact Pat Mort or Linda Towsley.
Judy Grove Circle is hostessing the Candlelight. We will begin taking
reservations for guests later in October.
Assembly in Philly in 2002
We would like to "sponsor" someone going to Assembly in April 2002. Assembly
will be held in Philadelphia and several buses are going from our District.
If you are interested in attending, information packets are available on
the UMW Board in Fellowship Hall. If you know someone who may be interested
in attending, please let someone from Mission Team know. This is one of the
premier events in United Methodist Women.
Legislative Day plans
Central is hosting Legislative Day April 10, 2002. At Mission Team in October
we will decide how we will handle lunch. One suggestion we are looking at
is box lunches. If you have any input, please let your Circle representative
know.
Special Mission Recognition
Congratulations to our Special Mission Recognition recipients, Gwen Bodine,

Join the CROP Walk for hunger!
The Greater Lansing CROP Walk is Sunday, October 14. Registration is from
1:00-1:45 p.m. with opening remarks at 1:45 p.m. The walk begins at 2:00
p.m. (rain or shine) at Dwight Rich Junior High School, 2600 Hampden, Lansing.
Several churches offer rest stops along the way.
Central will have pledge envelopes available until October 14. You can sign
up to walk and pick up the pledge envelope.
The money goes to Church World Service CROP for hunger around the world,
and part of it goes to local projects, such as Advent House, the American
Red Cross food distribution center, Greater Lansing Food Bank, Volunteers
of America, Harvest House and Potter Park Outreach.
A number of Lansing businesses contribute to the cost of the Crop Walk, so
all the money collected by walkers goes to CROP and then is distributed to
many groups, some of which are named above.
Ralph Goodell Memorial Library re-dedicated

Elderberrys Look Ahead
Rev. Frank Anderson
September's meeting was scarred by the attacks. Nevertheless, we had a delightful
time of revisiting the beautiful Islands of Hawaii, thanks to Marjorie and
Justin Sleight's wonderful color slides of some of the islands, and fine
narration. The meal that day was among the best.
The October meeting will be on the 9th, a Tuesday. Come along and enjoy our
older adult fellowship. Watch the Sunday bulletins for announcements about
the October program.
For the Disabled or Others
Central United Methodist Church possesses a simple frame walker and a wheelchair.
With the ground level entrance at the north Capitol Avenue entrance, and
the new elevator to the right, we can surely be called among the "accessible
churches." There are also designated parking places Sunday mornings immediately
in front of the church. Access at the northwest end of the sanctuary is very
easy; bulletins are also available there. Hearing devices and large-print
bulletins can be obtained from the ushers.
Homebound Holy Communion
The first Sunday in October is World Wide Communion. If you would like to
be part of the "table of the Lord" then, or at any time, please jot a note
off to Rev. Boley or Rev. Anderson (215 N. Capitol, Lansing, MI 48933).
You may also phone the church office at 485-9477, requesting that one of
us would come, setting up a time convenient for you. This is our invitation
to you.
Madrigal Dress Rehearsal will be church fund raiser
Joi Tennant, Missions Commissions Co-Chair
The Great Lakes Christian College Madrigal Dinner Concerts, produced annually
in our own Fellowship Hall during Advent, are an opportunity to step back
in time to the tradition of the pomp and pageantry of the medieval banquet
presented in the midst of a madrigal concert of Christmas carols. This is
a first class musical event, complete with wonderful costumes and authentic
décor.
It is with great pleasure that the Church and Society Commission and Missions
Commission
announce this opportunity for you to experience this magical medieval evening
the night of the dress rehearsal, Wednesday, November 28, 7-9
p.m.
There will be NO dinner, but desserts and wassail will be served during two
breaks in the performance. The dress rehearsal is intended to go forward
with minimal interruption. However, you should expect that the rehearsal
aspect may be apparent at times.
This delightful evening is being offered as a fundraiser for our general
church budget for the reduced ticket price of only $15. We can seat 200 people,
and we expect this to be a popular event, judging from the fine reputation
this Madrigal presentation has acquired over the years. Ticket reservation
forms will be available soon. Watch for our publicity.
What to give, what to be
The best thing one can give is: Forgiveness to your enemy; Tolerance to your
opponent; Your heart to a friend; A good example to a child; Good will and
love to a father; To your mother, a conduct that will make her proud of you;
To yourself, respect; To all people — LOVE.
—Author unknown
Thank You!
Thanks…to the church family for the prayers, visits, cards and calls
during my recent "inconvenience".I am thankful to be up and back to normal
so soon, and it is your love that helped do it!

Hudys hard at work
Joi Tennant, Mission Commission Co-Chair
The rain and chill of the rainforest winter in Bolivia will be easing into
the heat of spring and summer near the equator, as the Hudys begin their
ninth month as missionaries at the Rio Colorado Agricultural High School.
Their workday is non-stop, often stretching to 18 hours. Peter teaches computer
classes each evening during the 3 hours when the generator is on. Plans are
in the works for a new girl's dorm which will house about 100 students.
Volunteers are needed to help build it. (Talk to Bob Pena if you are
interested.)
Estela is now president of the new UMW women's group at their church where
a basket-weaving course is giving hope for an economic alternative to agriculture
and cattle. This course was funded by a donation from the UMW of First UMC
in Eugene, OR, the home church of a Volunteer in Missions worker; Julie,
who has been there an entire year.
Jonatan and Benjamin like to ride in the school pickup truck when Peter goes
to town. They have a cat named "Arco Iris," which is "rainbow" in English,
and a dog named "Saturn." On Benjamin's July 4 birthday they had "loud" fireworks
and a wet water balloon game. He already speaks fluently without accent "like
a true Bolivian."
October is one of four months when we especially remember our covenant to
help support the Hudys financially. Look for envelopes in the church bulletin,
or you can mail your gift to the church, clearly indicating "Hudy Missionary
Support."
Shirley Sharp: ministering to missionaries
Joi Tennant, Mission Commission Co-Chair
When Shirley Sharp became a member of the Mission Commission in January 2000,
she sat quietly and listened to our discussion about our need to be more
personally connected to the missionaries we were currently helping to support
at Redbird Mission School –- Mark and Rebecca Smallwood. It wasn't long
before she volunteered to take them on as her project.
Shirley recognized her gift of caring; and she created what has become a
faithful monthly care package full of delight and frivolity for Mark and
Rebecca and their two small children, Nate (4) and Lea (2).
Shirley sees her work as a way to encourage Mark and Rebecca as they labor
to help the children of Appalachia know the love of God. They have been
missionary teachers there since 1988. Shirley's reward is in the joy the
Smallwoods express at finding what clever, creative idea Shirley has developed
for each month's package. Sometimes the boxes have a holiday theme or celebrate
a birthday. Other times Shirley enjoys dreaming up an original combination
of small gifts. Often she discovers with delight that she has satisfied a
secret longing of one of the family members, with a gift that she happened
to choose.
Shirley insists that her financial investment is small, but the satisfaction
is huge. She has discovered the secret of rewarding ministry-- finding that
thing for which she is excited and passionate about, that thing which uses
her special God-given Spiritual Gift.
The deepest wisdom man can attain is to know that his destiny is to aid,
to serve.
—Abraham Joshua Heschel
Children of Africa – Restoring the Village" begins
soon
Carolyn Schuurmans, Mission Commission Co-Chair
Children of Africa: Their challenge is daunting; their reliance amazing.
Our class will take an in-depth look at the lives of African children and
the United Methodist Church's outreach to them. The study begins October
21 during the Sunday school hour. Speakers that day are Lynn and Kay DeMoss.
They have taught this study and have worked in Democratic Republic of the
Congo and South Africa.
As we learn about the children's health care, education, the effects of war
and AIDS, we will also look at the church in Africa and what it is doing
to help. We will talk about the "lost boys" of Sudan and how we are all a
part of the Global Village. Please join us for this 6-week
class.
Reflecting on the Attack
Rev. Frank F. Anderson
Churches were not the target of the unbelievable suicide flights that destroyed
both World Trade Towers in New York City on September 11 and parts of the
Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Yet in NYC we are told the affected area is
five miles square, which will include some church buildings. Through our
suffering - the fellowship of "the redeemed", are not the churches of America
deeply affected? What thoughts and hopes surged through the minds of the
passengers? We cannot fathom the total significance of the heavy toll of
lives.
This week (September 11-14) has been a very sad one for me and for countless
others in our communities. No meetings took place, in my view, but that the
tragic happenings were recalled in prayer. I told my children by e-mail,
and others, that only the December 7 Pearl Harbor attack of 1941 could begin
to compare to this shocking incident. That if ever we head for a church for
prayer, this is the time. As Christians we have no alternative but to unite
despite the sorrows. We set aside our prideful spirits and disconnected aims
to bring together a sense of "weeping with those who weep."
This is not a time of vindictive revenge and hate toward the perpetrators,
nor towards any person or group that might even appear to be connected in
some odd way with the attack. It will be a time of remorse and forgiveness,
of seeking mercy and love for an embittered world and people. We couldn't
bear to see such misery were it not for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
He can save all.
It will be a time of remorse and forgiveness, of seeking mercy and love for
an embittered world and people."
