ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE
Wednesday, February 17, 6:30pm
|
|
ASH WEDNESDAY is TODAY
Wednesday, February 17
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent.
Lent, a 40-day season (not counting Sundays), marks a time of repentance, fasting, reflection, and ultimately the celebration of Christ's resurrection on Easter Morning. The 40-day period represents Christ’s time of temptation in the wilderness, where he fasted and where Satan tempted him. Lent asks us to set aside a time each year for similar fasting, marking an intentional season of focus on Christ’s life, ministry, sacrifice, and resurrection. Ash Wednesday focuses our hearts on repentance and prayer, personal and communal confession.
The Ash Wednesday Worship service will be on our YouTube channel at 6:30pm tonight. Below are the links to the service bulletin and a link to the YouTube channel.
|
|
COMMUNION
As part of our Ash Wednesday service, we will gather at the Lord's Table during our virtual worship service. Please plan for worship that day to bring items for communion to your computer or TV.
|
|
|
|
|
Communion in other parts of the world is served with various types of Bring breads, crackers or cookies to break along with Carla as she breaks the Bread of Life. Water, juice, wine or a beverage of your choice can serve as the Cup of Remembrance.
|
|
|
THE BLESSING
Please also bring a small cup or bowl of water and a towel for the blessing for use to sign the cross on foreheads, with attention to the power of the water of baptism, the symbol of death and resurrection and our return to a covenant relationship with God.

COMBATTING RACISM - TOGETHER
Rev. Carla Meisterman
|
|
On Sunday morning, February 14, 2021, members of two churches came together to worship – Circle of Faith and Balmoral Presbyterian Church. Members of Balmoral, René Mitchell and Clinton Bailey, were welcomed as speakers for the morning and introduced by Circle of Faith Pastor, Cliff Stockton, Jr. The Zoom screen was filled with familiar faces from both churches who had come to listen and worship God together.
René and Clinton had been invited to talk about their understanding of Black Live Matters. Both were open about growing up in the South and learning the ways of justice. René remembered seeing Shirley Chisolm for the first time on tv and being impressed with her. René told her parents she could see herself voting for Shirley Chisolm for president.
Clinton shared stories of growing up on a farm being the only white family with hundreds of African American people. He talked about the shared love on the farm and the way his father demanded that all people be treated with respect. When Clinton and Cathy met in college they both had been raised in homes where their fathers had taught them to see the dignity in all people.
Cliff Stockton shared the fact that he had always had a vision for a church where all races could worship together. Part of that vision was fulfilled that Sunday morning when people gathered on a Zoom call to worship together and think about Black History Month.
All this month, we have been privileged to hear voices of people who are devoting time in their lives to work for justice and navigate the wide divide of racism in our country. Cliff and Kristen Gurlen, Pastor Cliff Stockton, Jr. and, next week, Dr. Kevin Andre Brooks, Executive Director of the Lynching Sites Project, are sharing their voices, calling all of us to hear the sounds of racism around us – to witness the sights racial injustice that have flooded our vision in recent months.
What we are called to do is right in front of us. God brought our two congregations together 10 years ago. Two congregations, made up of people who are poised to lean into God’s call to work together to combat racism – by starting with our very own stories…being brave enough to admit them to ourselves and trusting enough to share them with one another.

Trouble I’ve Seen Small Group meets the second Thursday of every month at 7:00pm on Zoom. The link for the Trouble I've Seen Small Group is below in the Online Event Calendar or contact Kristen Gurlen. All are welcome to join this transformative witness to changing the world one story at a time.

LET AMERICA BE AMERICA AGAIN
by Langston Hughes
|
|
LANGSTON HUGHES (1907-1967), poet, social activist, novelist, playwright, and columnist, was one of the earliest innovators of the then-new literary art form called jazz poetry, Hughes is best known as a leader of the Harlem Renaissance and made the African American experience the subject of his writings.
This poem of sharing how many groups of people have not been able to experience the America that people dream it to be, was written more than 50 years ago, but could as easily been written last week.
|
|
Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a home where he himself is free.
a
(America never was America to me.)
a
Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed—
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.
a
(It never was America to me.)
a
O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe.
a
(There's never been equality for me,
Nor freedom in this "homeland of the free.")
a
Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark?
And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?
a
I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart,
I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars.
I am the red man driven from the land,
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek—
And finding only the same old stupid plan
Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.
a
I am the young man, full of strength and hope,
Tangled in that ancient endless chain
Of profit, power, gain, of grab the land!
Of grab the gold! Of grab the ways of satisfying need!
Of work the men! Of take the pay!
Of owning everything for one's own greed!
a
I am the farmer, bondsman to the soil.
I am the worker sold to the machine.
I am the Negro, servant to you all.
I am the people, humble, hungry, mean—
Hungry yet today despite the dream.
Beaten yet today—O, Pioneers!
I am the man who never got ahead,
The poorest worker bartered through the years.
a
Yet I'm the one who dreamt our basic dream
In the Old World while still a serf of kings,
Who dreamt a dream so strong, so brave, so true,
That even yet its mighty daring sings
In every brick and stone, in every furrow turned
That's made America the land it has become.
O, I'm the man who sailed those early seas
In search of what I meant to be my home—
For I'm the one who left dark Ireland's shore,
And Poland's plain, and England's grassy lea,
And torn from Black Africa's strand I came
To build a "homeland of the free."
a
The free?
a
Who said the free? Not me?
Surely not me? The millions on relief today?
The millions shot down when we strike?
The millions who have nothing for our pay?
For all the dreams we've dreamed
And all the songs we've sung
And all the hopes we've held
And all the flags we've hung,
The millions who have nothing for our pay—
Except the dream that's almost dead today.
a
O, let America be America again—
The land that never has been yet—
And yet must be—the land where every man is free.
The land that's mine—the poor man's, Indian's, Negro's, ME—
Who made America,
Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,
Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain,
Must bring back our mighty dream again.
a
Sure, call me any ugly name you choose—
The steel of freedom does not stain.
From those who live like leeches on the people's lives,
We must take back our land again,
America!
a
O, yes,
I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath—
America will be!
a
Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death,
The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,
We, the people, must redeem
The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.
The mountains and the endless plain—
All, all the stretch of these great green states—
And make America again!

NOMINATIONS NEEDED for
3 ELDERS for the SESSION CLASS of 2024
|
|
The 2021 Nominating Committee has begun working together to discern the names of three members who are called as Ruling Elders in the Session Class of 2024. The members of the Committee are Ted Pearson, Gordon Brigman and Jessica Orians.
You are able to make nominations by email or text as indicated below. We will need one person to serve on the Outreach Committee, one person to serve on the Operations Committee and one person to serve on the Formation Committee.
If you would like to nominate a person or persons to serve in the Class of 2024, please speak to the chair of the 2021 Nominating Committee, Ted Pearson, or send the information about your nomination to Ted by email pearsonteda@aol.com or by phone or text him at (901) 486-6117.
For each Nomination, please provide the following Information:
· NAME of the person to be considered for the Class of 2024
· COMMENTS (optional)
· YOUR NAME
If you have questions about the process for nominations, please contact Ted Pearson, Jessica Orians, Gordon Brigman, or Rev. Carla Meisterman.
_____________________________________________The Role of a Ruling Elder
As there were in Old Testament times elders for the government
of the people, so the New Testament church provided persons
with particular gifts to share in discernment of God's Spirit
and governance of God's people. Accordingly, congregations should
elect persons of wisdom and maturity of faith, having demonstrated
skills in leadership and being compassionate in spirit.
Ruling elders...are chosen by the congregation to discern and
measure its fidelity to the Word of God, and to strengthen and
nurture its faith and life. Ruling elders, together with teaching
elders, exercise leadership, government, spiritual discernment, and
discipline and have responsibilities for the life of a congregation
as well as the whole church, including ecumenical relationships.
When elected by the congregation, they shall serve faithfully
as members of the session. When elected as commissioners
to higher councils, ruling elders participate and vote with the
same authority as teaching elders, and they are eligible for any office.
Book of Order, G-2.0301 _____________________________________________
Please speak to the person you nominate before placing their name into nomination to express your belief that they are called to serve on Session.

PREPARING for GROWTH
by Rev. Ivan Herman
|
|
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vineyard keeper. 2 He removes any of my branches that don’t produce fruit, and he trims any branch that produces fruit so that it will produce even more fruit. 3 You are already trimmed because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. A branch can’t produce fruit by itself but must remain in the vine. Likewise, you can’t produce fruit unless you remain in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, then you will produce much fruit. Without me, you can’t do anything. – John 15:1-5 (Common English Bible)
Not much fruit grows in my small and shaded back yard. Sometimes I can coax a tomato or cucumber to bring fruit from the vine in the summertime, but by February, even such little bounty is a faded memory. Now is the time to prune, prepare, and persevere.
While I don’t have a vineyard to prune and keep, there are assorted roses along the driveway that sit dormant during these cold months. They were planted long before me and will remain long after I leave this house unless my brown thumb gets in the way.
Last year I forgot to prune the roses. Instead of dozens of dark pink or cream-yellow flowers in spring and summer, the flowers were fewer and smaller. The bushes sprouted pencil-thin branches that couldn’t hold the weight of what they did produce. Fungal outbreaks of blackspot and powdery mildew were widespread. One of the taller rose bushes, in a bid for freedom from the tangled mess, pushed upward into the tiles of an overhanging roof and tried to jab its way through.
|
|
Jesus may not have grown hybrid tea roses but pruning in a vineyard is similar in many ways. Pruning rose canes and vineyard canes can improve the health and productivity of the plant if done well and at the right time. It is labor-intensive and must be done with care and intent to what future growth will look like. When pruning roses, diagonal cuts are made just above outward-facing buds so that new growth moves away from the center of the bush, where there is greater competition for space and light. Outward growth encourages increased airflow to reduce disease, and it lets in more light to the center for a healthier, more vigorous plant.
As I prune the roses this year, each snip of the shears makes me ponder how to make room for new, healthy growth in my life and in the church. During this long season of pandemic, many of our activities and collective spiritual practices have remained dormant, and some may never return. Even still, we remain in Christ, our true vine, and our God is laboring to trim branches. That doesn’t necessarily mean these haven’t produced fruit, but that they will produce more fruit. God is preparing us for outward growth so that more light may come into our world, and that is good news, indeed.

A new Lenten devotional addresses the history of racial injustice to empower readers for racial justice
|
|
For many in the United States, the summer of 2020 served as a moment of renewed attention to the disease of racial inequality and injustice in our country. But in order to look forward in our pursuit of antiracism, we must also look back and acknowledge our history. To help churches address the difficult work of examining the history of American slavery, Cheri L. Mills offers her new Lenten devotional,
Her new 40-day devotional centers on Lenten themes — exodus, redemption, discipline, and repentance — to empower both Black and white readers for the work of addressing racial injustice. To confront our history, each day includes the testimony of a person who escaped slavery through the Underground Railroad, a Scripture passage, and a reflection connecting biblical and historical themes.
“If you’ve ever wondered what you can do to become more antiracist, “Lent of Liberation” is a great place to start,” says Kerry Connelly, author of “Good White Racist? Confronting Your Role in Racial Injustice.”

Weather Closes all Vaccination Centers through Saturday
|
|
All Shelby County Health Department facilities and the following COVID-19 vaccination sites will remain closed through Saturday, Feb. 20, due to inclement weather and the threat of hazardous driving conditions.
All appointments scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 16, through Saturday, Feb. 20, will be rescheduled (including those previously re-scheduled from Feb. 11 & 12).
The weather has also closed most of the area’s vaccine distribution locations through Saturday and is so bad it’s even disrupted some of FedEx’s operations, making potential shipping delays possible.

TROUBLED PIPKIN VACCINATION SITE NOW UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
|
|
Long lines, long waits, running out of vaccines despite appointments-only restrictions, now the weather - all have frustrated those trying to get their vaccines at the Pipkin Site.
While other vaccine sites have run more smoothly.
Monday, it was announced that the City will take over the management of the Pipkin vaccine site, effective immediately.
The City of Memphis brings a strong law enforcement presence and traffic-control presence. They have seen success at the Appling site.
The change should help address the issues at Pipkin, namely that people have been allowed to get in line without appointments and arrive earlier than their appointed time, creating unmanageable lines and traffic.
The new management will be in place when the Vaccine sites re-open.
