First Edition January 2020 First Presbyterian Church , Post Office Box 1069 New Bern, NC 28563  Phone (252)637-3270 Email: church@firstpresnb.org Website: www.firstpresnb.org Facebook: www.facebook.com/firstpresnb Office Hours: Monday - Thursday 9:00 - 5:00 & Friday 9:00 - 1:00 Worship Services 8:30 & 11:00 Sunday School 9:45 - 10:45 First Presbyterian Church is a welcoming community of faith where Jesus Christ transforms lives: through worship, as we praise and glorify God; through outreach, as we embody God's love in service to the world; through education, as we listen for God's Word; through giving, as we express gratitude to God; through caring, as we invite all to join in God's work; through fellowship as we share our lives and faith together.

Building Community * Transforming Lives * Engaging the World

Trusting that God's grace embraces and makes covenant with all believers, First Presbyterian Church intends to be an inclusive place of spiritual growth for all people. All persons are welcomed into this fellowship and membership regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender, ethnic or racial identity,, economic or educational status, or political affiliation. WORSHIP In our December meeting, the Session took an important step in our journey together. The Session approved a Job Description for a Pastoral Transition Team (PTT) and a group of people to make up the team. This group of talented individuals will help us develop a Mission Study which will give the Pastoral Nominating Committee (PNC) information to toward developing competencies in FPC’s next pastor. The Mission Study is a rather large, detailed document which supports the PNC’s work as it develops FPC’s resume and gives the interviewing pastor a sense of who we are a congregation. The PTT members are Peggy Clark, Chris Kelso, Steve Mabie, Alison Mattocks, and David Taylor. For a full job description, please see the following pages of this newsletter. Besides important Mission Study items such as demographics, worship trends, commission/committee descriptions, and history, the PTT seeks to listen to FPC’s membership. Listening is as important as the other items mentioned. By listening to the membership, we come to understand how the spirit is moving among us and this movement becomes the tapestry of our church. Jesus listened as well as preached, and because he listened to them, people listened to him and followed. The PTT seeks to listen to you. So, in January, our focus as a PTT will begin the attitude of listening. We will do this in two ways. One way is through a congregational survey. The Session is in the process of discerning which one we want to use. In late January or early February, the PTT will ask each of worshiping member above the age of sixteen to complete the survey either logging in at home or by signing up for a computer slot during the week. The signups and log in information will be made available to you. Paper surveys will also be made available if that is preferred. Through your participation, the PTT will discover what qualities you think are important in an installed pastor. This data will be compiled, and PTT will have some hard data to present to the PNC about FPC’s needs and direction. Another way we will listen is through small groups (4-6 congregation members) to interact with us on Sundays after worship or on Wednesday evenings. There are two questions for these “Talking with Pastor Eddie.” The first question, “What is your faith journey/story?” The second question is, “What are your hopes and dreams for ministries at FPC?” These two parts provide different information than the larger congregational survey, and I find these personal times one of the most uplifting, meaningful, and fulfilling parts of my ministry. From these two methods of listening, the PTT’s prayer is that we open ourselves as a congregation to listening to God’s movement in our midst. May we all become a better listener and improve that wonderful skill through God’s enduring patience. After all, God is the greatest listener of all. Shalom, Rev. Edward Bellis, Interim Pastor

Operation Christmas Child The Outreach Commission would like to thank the members of the congregation who participated in Operation Christmas Child. You did a wonderful job. We collected 89 boxes compared to 59 last year. I hope we can set a goal of 100 next year. Thanks again and remember you did make difference in a child's Christmas. Happy New Year and God's Blessings to all.

Backpack Blessings Backpack Blessing orchestrated its regular holiday meal delivery on December 17th and 18th. 230 families within our three county focus received a food box of a turkey, a pork loin roast, various sides, and holiday pie. The Garber site was one of several distribution centers, but we served 180 families from there. As always, we continue to celebrate our involvement here at First Presbyterian in this wonderful ministry. Thank you to all of you who made time in your schedule to help! Our next 'build' for our weekend snack program will take place in February. Stay tuned for details.   Hoping each of our families have a joyful holiday season. Thank you for all that you do! Stacey Griffith

Brinson Buddies An update on Brinson Buddies: Circle 1 was able to provide Christmas for two Brinson families in need this year. In addition, members of the congregation baked for the teachers - the spread was incredible. Finally, a sizable sum of money was donated for Brinson's current needs. I am still investigating where the dollars originated within the church--but trust me, it will be put to good use! I am attaching a picture of the goodies our bakers contributed this morning as well as pictures of the Christmas giving for our families! Happy New Year everyone!! Carol Hale

EDUCATION

Winter Sunday School Classes

Winter Quarter Adult Sunday Classes The Age of the Spirit: How the Ghost of an Ancient Controversy is shaping our Church Today by Phyllis Tickle class led by Lloyd Griffith will meet in Ministry Center Room 1.25 (Chapel) Attentiveness to the Holy Spirit, as mysterious as It is, is the hallmark of where the church is evolving. In our study we will encounter not just the fascinating historical realities that have shaped our faith today, but also the present resurgence of interest in the Holy Spirit that we are seeing in so many churches across the theological spectrum. As we begin to understand this Spirit citing brooding over the fresh waters of the church, we will find that exciting and affirming place where the ancients and the postmodern walk down the aisle together.  Books are available in the church office.  The Present Word   George Evans will lead the winter quarter of The Present Word in exploring Honoring God. Lessons based on 1 Chronicles and 1 Kings, are stories of how King David and King Solomon  established the center of worship in Jerusalem and built the temple. Studies from Matthew and Luke focus on Jesus’ teachings about right attitudes that honor God through worship. These lessons include the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes and the Lord’s Prayer. Gene Peele and Darryl Warren will assist. Class meets in the Session House Parlor. January & February - Getting Involved with God: Rediscovering the Old Testament  (Ellen Davis) class led by Maren Sonstegard-Spray will meet Session House Main Room. If you have ever struggled with the reading and understanding the Old Testament, or if you have ever wondered how the Old Testament relates to the New Testament, come join us for an eight week class. We will be guided by Ellen Davis's book "Getting Involved with God" and John Goldingay's book "Do We Need the New Testament, " among others. No need to buy a book (unless you want to!)

Pastoral Transition Team (PTT) Sent to FPC’s Session on December 10, 2019 for Approval Purpose of the PTT The purpose of the Pastor Transition Team is to provide guidance and support to First’s congregation during a time of pastoral transition. The PTT will prepare the formal Mission Study and communicate its findings to the Session and the Congregation. Upon the Mission Study’s approval, the Session will send it to the Presbytery of New Hope’s Commission on Ministry. Members of the PTT The transition team will be made up of six individuals: Peggy Clark, Chris Kelso, Steve Mabie, Alison Mattocks, David Taylor (Chair), Edward Bellis (the interim pastor and ex-officio member). The Session of First Presbyterian delegates to the PTT the authority to discharge its responsibilities during the time of pastoral transition. Responsibilities of the PTT The PTT was formed in early December 2019 after the Interim Pastor began his duties on October 1, 2019. The PTT’s duties are addressed below. PTT’s Duties 1)     Communication ·        The team will remain in communication with the Session and the congregation throughout the transition period, attending Session meetings as necessary with regular reports to Session. ·        After the Mission Study is approved and adopted by the Session, the PTT will communicate to the congregation the Mission Study document to include the congregational survey results. 2)     Congregational Assessment ·        The PTT will “guide” the Session and congregation through a period of self-assessment in the form of a Mission Study in order to: i)      discern the type of pastoral leadership which would best serve the congregation, and ii)    prepare the background material in a formal Mission Study that the Pastoral Nominating Committee (PNC) may use in preparing the Ministry Information Form. 3)     Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) formation ·        In mid-2020, the PTT will submit to FPC’s Session a completed Mission Study for its consideration and approval. Once FPC’s Session approves the Mission Study, the Clerk of Session must submit the Mission Study and request in writing to form a PNC to New Hope Presbytery’s Commission on Ministry (COM). ·        Members will be present when the congregation elects the PNC and be prepared to speak to the process of how the Mission Study was prepared and submitted.
