Twas the Night Before Christmas |
|
by Rev. Glen Miles, Senior Minister
There is something mysteriously beautiful about Christmas Eve. For one moment, it feels like everything is right with the world. In the darkness of the evening, we are often able to see more clearly. I know that seems like a paradox but stay with me for a moment.
Think of the candles we will light at the end of the Christmas Eve services this year. To bring out their beauty, to make their flames shine more brightly, we will dim the overhead lights to complete darkness. The room will fill with a magical glow that allows us to leave all of our cares behind, if only for a moment.
Christmas Eve is about the birth of a promised child; one whose very life will be given in the name of love. We don’t know the date or time of day for Jesus’ birth. I have a very faint memory of a lecture in seminary where the professor argued for a date in August. Given how brutal the weather can be in North America in August, we don’t celebrate it during the hot and steamy days. I am glad that Luke’s story tells us that the angel announces the birth to a group of shepherds at night.
Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor wrote the book, Learning to Walk in the Dark. In it, she asks her readers to wonder what we might discover in the dark. She points out that “new life starts in the dark. Whether it is a seed in the ground, a baby in the womb, or Jesus in the tomb, it starts in the dark.”
There may be an idea there for us to consider this year amid our celebrations. Look at your life. When have you grown the most? When have you found yourself tilling fertile ground, exploring new ideas, or discovering a new way to solve an ongoing issue? I’ll bet that for many of us, it was during a time of darkness when the lights were, metaphorically speaking, burnt out—a time when you didn’t know up from down or out from in.
During our sweetly sentimental Christmas celebrations, we tend to forget that Jesus was born during a terrible and fear-filled time. His homeland was under the rule of a foreign government. In that dark night of history, a new light was shining, and the darkness would not overcome it.
So, this year, on Christmas Eve, in the darkness, as the light of a single candle illuminates the entire sanctuary, ask yourself, “What am I hoping for more than anything else?” I’m not talking about what gifts may be under the tree. I’m talking about your life; what is your heart’s desire? A new beginning? A word of hope? A sign of love? Whatever your answer, you may see it more clearly in the dark.
Rev. Taylor reminds us, “Even when light fades and darkness falls--as it does every single day, in every single life--God does not turn the world over to some other deity...Here is the testimony of faith; darkness is not dark to God; the night is as bright as the day.”
May the light of Christmas shine brightly in your life during this season of hope.

Journey to Jesus, Sunday December 4 |
|
The Youth Choirs at First Community present their 27th Annual Children’s Christmas Musical on Sunday, December 4 in worship at FC North at the 9 and 11 am services. In this new musical by Youth Choir Director, Sally Beske, the children present a play about a journey to the manger in Bethlehem. As we witness their rehearsal everything goes humorously awry, and their story cannot go on as they intended. Instead, our Journey to Jesus becomes a journey of the heart, as we move toward compassion, acceptance, and kindness to all. Come join us on December 4!
Please note there is no 10 am service South on this day. This week all children will remain in worship with their family to watch this year’s Children’s Christmas Musical, Journey to Jesus, written and directed by our very own Sally Beske. There will be no childcare.

An Invitation from Sally Beske to attend Journey to Jesus
|
|
This week all children will remain in worship with their family to watch this year’s Children’s Christmas Musical, Journey to Jesus, written and directed by our very own Sally Beske.
We hope your child will join us at North Campus for our annual Christmas Workshop on Wednesday, December 7 from 6-7:15 pm. Christmas Workshop is a chance for children to make gifts and Christmas decorations for family and friends. As children grow, learning to thoughtfully give and not just receive at Christmas can enhance their understanding of the spirit this sacred season and help nurture an awareness of the needs of others.
Christmas Workshop projects are geared toward elementary-age children, but younger children are welcome if accompanied by a grown-up. Please register for this event HERE by December 4 so the right quantity of materials can be prepared.
Dinner will be offered before Christmas Workshop during The Gathering at 5:30 pm.

Longest Night: A Holiday Service of Grief and Remembrance |
Join First Community for a snack supper at 5:30 pm followed by A Holiday Service of Remembrance and Grief at 5:45 pm.
*Our hope is that this worship service will create a safe and sacred space for those who are struggling to feel the joy and light of this holiday season due to loss of any kind. We do not intend for this service to be a service of healing, for what we lose cannot always be replaced. Instead, we hope this service will acknowledge the hole that grief leaves in one’s heart while simultaneously remembering that we worship a God who is with us, even in the darkest of times. (*written by Rev. Sarah Are: A Sanctified Art)

Governing Board Update
by Alice Finley, Governing Board Chair
The Governing Board held its last meeting of 2022 yesterday. Several of our agenda items involved looking back at the year. These reflections help us recognize all that we’ve accomplished but also help us identify ways we can grow and improve as a board. For example, in preparation for welcoming four new Governing Board members, our Chair-elect, Molly Hagkull, asked us to answer a few questions such as, “Before I joined the FC board, I wish someone would’ve told me…”
And, speaking of preparing for the future, the board is thrilled to share that our incoming Chair-elect will be April Howe. April has been an engaged and committed board member and will provide strong leadership for FC.
Dr. Glen Miles shared a report with the board reflecting his leadership in the pulpit and the conference room. He recognizes the amazing gifts his program staff and board members possess and is committed to providing support, inspiration, and motivation to the program staff and board. I think I can speak on behalf of the board when I say that we appreciate Glen and his leadership and look forward to helping him move FC forward in innovative and meaningful ways that bring all of us closer to God.
The board voted to approve Dr. Mile’s request for a three-month sabbatical during the summer of 2023. This time away, available to FC clergy every five years, will give him time for restoration and reconnections.
We also voted to approve the final version of the proposed Constitutional changes. After months of discussion, meetings, drafts, and revision, we feel good about the finished product. Be on the lookout for the draft as we get closer to the Annual Meeting on January 28 at 10 am.

A Moment for Mission
by Rick Greene
The Christmas Offering at First Community for 2022 will be split between Friends of the Homeless and Back Bay Mission.
Friends of the Homeless
Matthew 25:35-36 35. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36. I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, a lack of affordable housing and the limited scale of housing assistance programs have contributed to the current housing crisis and homelessness. Recently, foreclosures have also increased the number of people who experience homelessness. Other major factors contributing to homelessness include lack of affordable health care, domestic violence, mental illness, and addiction.
Approximately 1.6 million children will experience homelessness over a year. For any given day, researchers estimate that more than 200,000 children have no place to live. As recently as June, homelessness in the U.S. was estimated at between 750,000 and 1,500,000. In Columbus, the count of the nation's homeless shows a continuing increase in families with children with no place to go. From July 1 to Sept. 30, the city's shelter system hit its highest-ever occupancy rate for families. At the same time, barely a third of families who left shelters achieved a "successful housing outcome," an all-time low.
First Community Church became involved with Friends of the Homeless men's shelter in the Fall of 1983 by providing a hot meal to this East Main Street shelter every Monday evening throughout the year—hands-on volunteering for 38 years. This shelter currently houses 150 men, and the Monday Meals volunteers have continued to provide meals throughout the pandemic.
Our church involvement has extended beyond Monday Meals, with our volunteers continuously providing food, socks, gloves, toiletries, and multiple other necessities provided through donations for the Christmas Offering. In the past, the Friends of the Homeless helped provide air conditioning, a sheltered outdoor eating area, and replace tables and chairs.
See below for additional information about volunteering.
Back Bay Mission
As a ministry of the United Church of Christ, the Back Bay Mission in Biloxi, Mississippi, draws on a national network of support. It brings a network to bear on poverty and marginalization on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Through the UCC, it draws on supporters who are invested in serving the area's people. Christian values are the basis for a loving, respectful approach to serving the poor and marginalized. It is now celebrating its one-hundredth anniversary on the Gulf Coast and has started a 100-year Capital Campaign to remain relevant for the next 100 years. More information about the campaign is available HERE.
The Mission began in the 1920s and has continuously been active in the community since that time. In 1962, the Mission began hosting integrated activities. In 1963, Mission staff and volunteers were arrested at the final wade-in on Biloxi's beaches. In 1963, the Mission hosted the Annual Ministerial Banquet of the Mississippi State Conference of the NAACP. It was subjected to attacks for several months afterward, including a cross burning at the Mission.
First Community Church has had a close relationship with the Back Bay Mission for over 30 years, often sending small groups to work there. Members of this congregation have often supported this Missions, including members of the Board of Directors (currently, Crystal Allen of First Community is the Chairperson). In addition, before the COVID pandemic, the church sponsored annual Shrimp Boils for several years, raising needed funds for its operations.

First Community Church has provided various opportunities to donate to this Christmas Offering, which will help support these two missions of our church.

First Sweetheart Rose
Every year First Community Church presents one of our Sweethearts with the first rose. The red rose has been a symbol of caring and blessings at First Community Church. The First Rose of Advent began when Dr. Roy Burkhart became Senior Minister in 1935. He would deliver roses to our “Sweethearts” during the season of Advent. This year, Senior Minister Dr. Glen Miles presented the first rose to our very own Dick Wood, Sr. Dick has been a FCC member since 1960. He has been woven into the fabric of the church and ministry and has been involved in numerous groups, including Governing Board, Friendship Circles, and Adult Learning. He was a volunteer in the business office for many years and was awarded the First Community Church Service Award in 2005. We are honored to have the first rose given to Dick Wood, Sr.

Community Justice March at South Campus

|
At our First Community Justice March on Nov 13, it was wonderful to see our neighbors and have the opportunity to hear from and connect with members of the community, our congregation, faith-based and non-profit leaders, politicians, judges, and others that are working to make positive changes for all in our Central Ohio neighborhoods. We look forward to building our work around racial equity, gun violence prevention, and environmental justice alongside the community.
You can also view a short video detailing the event HERE.
Election Protection and Peacekeeper Efforts
|
|
Members of our community justice teams participated in several activities around the recent election cycle. We passed out information around voting registration and participated in a Democracy Protection Vigil calling on the Secretary of State to ensure safe and equitable access to the ballot box and equal representation during this election season. Additionally, several of our members took training and worked alongside Faith in Public Life to volunteer as Election Peacekeepers. Election Peacekeeper volunteers protected the sacred right of voting by providing de-escalation services at Central Ohio polls to ensure that all felt safe and encouraged to let their voice be heard during the election process. |
|
Miami Valley Peace Heroes Trail Tour
Members of the community justice teams took a field trip to Dayton to visit the Miami Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship's PEACE HEROES TRAIL. Our group was treated to a tour of the project by Project Director Catherine Queener. Winding around the wetlands and labyrinth of the church property, the trail features peacebuilders both alive and from history, international and local. Our representatives learned that a peace hero is "an everyday person who accepts risk and succeeds in making the world less violent and more just." It was amazing to see what a small congregation could pull off to educate and inspire their local community.

The next First Community blood drive is on December 19 from 10 am – 4 pm in the Weist Room at South. Please read the important information below from Red Cross:
Blood is a perishable product that can only come from volunteer blood donors. With someone in the U.S. needing blood every two seconds, blood products must be constantly replenished, according to the Red Cross.
Blood is routinely transfused to patients with cancer and other diseases, premature babies, organ transplant recipients and trauma victims, according to the Red Cross.
Donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with types O negative, B negative and A negative. According to the Red Cross, type O negative is the universal blood type that can be safely transfused to anyone, and is often used to treat trauma patients.
|
|
“We urge community members to donate blood and help ensure that patients in local hospitals have a supply of blood ready and waiting before an emergency occurs. There’s no better feeling than knowing that your blood donation may give someone a second chance at life.”
Thank you for your help! You can sign up HERE.

Betty O'Neil Bake Sale Thank You |
|
by Kitty Rohrer
For the first time in three years, the Women's Guild was back on November 8 with the Betty O'Neill Election Day Bake Sale, and what a success it was! There were home-baked goods and soups for sale at both church locations when a near-record number of voters for a midterm election showed up to vote. Many expressed how they had missed the Bake Sale and were pleased to see that we were back. Everything but the soups were on a donation basis, and voters were incredibly generous, often paying $5 and only taking several cookies. One voter at South went so far as to give the Guild $50 to cover the poll workers' food cost– a much-appreciated offer of support for the weary workers! The Guild had received over $2,000 for its various outreach charities and to support some needed projects around the church. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the many contributions of baked goods, snacks, and soups provided by the Women of the Guild—THANK YOU!—and the generous support of the community of voters –THANK YOU, one and all! See you next year!

Dust Clouds from the Archives |

by Jackie Cherry, Church Historian
Glancing Back at First Community's Youth Program (Part 4)
The church of the Block of Wood came into being during Dr. Otis Maxfield's years as Senior Minister, while Mike Vance served as Youth Minister from 1953 to '59. It was the 7th and 8th grader's church within a church where they learned what was required to be an adult member of the congregation by serving on committees and boards where they learned by doing. A thirteen-member Board of Trustees worked with Mike in running their junior church with a membership of around 250 young people who met in Lincoln Road Chapel every Sunday morning. They took turns serving as worshippers or leaders and Deacons. The CBW planned the worship services, dances, Akita camping sessions, and evening programs in which they participated. During the 7 Keys Program, 9th graders studied Church history, symbols, doctrines, worship, and the history of our church as they prepared for full membership.
Another exciting element of training our youth was the Traveling Freshmen. One Sunday a month, our seventh graders would visit the church of another faith to observe their form of worship. Upon their return to First Community, they discussed their observations.
Grades 10 through 12 participated in the 5-15 Series. The entire group was divided into groups of 15 students who met together for five weeks with an adult resource leader to study a particular subject. Then the sixth week, they would choose a different subject as they attempted to find a meaningful witness to the world around them. Out of this exploration and study, a service group of high school youth volunteers titled Youth on Call evolved. They were on call 24 hours a day to fulfill whatever was needed to respond to any requests received by ministerial staffers. What a gift, indeed!
This was undoubtedly the segment of our youth who were the best prepared to take over the role of adult members of our congregation. They had been studying and preparing throughout their teens for what is required to become a responsible, committed, caring member of our church family. They met the challenge and then some!! Each of our youth ministers have had a lasting impact on the youth they have served and our church as a whole, but the Church of the Block of Wood was unique in its concept and scope.
