From the Pastor's study
“A View from the Office Window”
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday
and today for forever. Hebrews 13:8
As I sit at
my desk, I look across Pearl Road to the Strongsville Historical Society
complex. It’s a beautiful view and I enjoy looking over the few acres of
buildings.
The view
enables me to remember. To remember Strongsville in its earlier days. Even to
remember the history of our own congregation that started in 1819. Truly a long
legacy has been established by the Methodists in our community. We have been
preceded in this congregation by many people who have been faithful in
spreading the Gospel and proclaiming the word of God.
It’s
important that I remember. If I don’t, then I forget my own place in history.
We are not just living in the present age. We are connected to people who have
gone before us; who have served the Lord with great faithfulness within this
church.
Looking
across the street also helps me to recognize that much change has occurred
within the Strongsville community. The Historical Village contains a dirt road.
There are few (if any) dirt roads remaining in Strongsville. At one time Pearl
Road itself was just one lane paved with dirt to the side for passing. Now it
is five lanes that separate me from the Historical Village and, during rush
hour, it could be much wider to accommodate the traffic.
The
buildings on the Historical Village grounds date from the mid 1800s to around
1940. Now that building period is visible in a minority of structures in
Strongsville. The vast, vast majority of homes and businesses have been built
since the 1940s. As I look across the street, I recognize the great change that
has occurred within this community.
Just as
change has occurred within Strongsville, so change occurs in the sharing of the
word of God. As our scripture above from Hebrews tells us, Christ Jesus never
changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We give thanks for the
unfailing, unchangeable promises of grace, peace, love, and joy. But how the
message of Christ is delivered indeed does and must change. The sharing of the
word has to be attuned to the hearer.
Thus, the
deep struggle that exists within every faith community: The struggle of being
true to the unchanging presence of Jesus Christ and true to the need to share
that word of Christ to a changing culture. Within our particular church, we
feel that tension. We sense it in worship as we enter into a Contemporary
Service or sing praise choruses in traditional worship settings. We sense that
tension in our Evangelism outreach as we call ourselves to not only be friendly
within the confines of the church, but to share the word with those at work or
in our neighborhoods. We sense the tension in our education department as we
attempt to guarantee the safety of our youth and children in a society of flux
and litigation. We sense it in the painful decision to change location so that
we may more ably minister to a growing community through a growing church.
The tension
is good. It helps us to remember who we are and from whence we have come. It
helps us to acknowledge what has been, and it helps us to recognize that we are
called by God into the tomorrows. It helps us to affirm our future.
I give
thanks for this congregation with its rich heritage of faith. I give thanks for
this congregation which is boldly facing the challenges of sharing the Gospel
of the same Jesus Christ in new ways.
O
steadfast and unchanging God, help us to move in new ways so that your name may
be strongly proclaimed. Amen.
Are
You Too Busy?
Cardinals,
blue jays, chickadees and morning doves have been welcomed visitors to our
feeders over the winter months. With the coming of spring, the visitors have
been joined by yellow finches which hang upside-down to eat thistle seed;
robins, which are delighted by the wet weather as they find their daily feast;
and a yellow-bellied sapsucker. These lovely
feathered friends have been joined by three squirrels, which are given feasting
privileges for a few minutes, before being chased to go scampering across
the top of the fence.
It
is a delight each day to fill the feeders and watch these beautiful creatures
feast on the seeds of their choice. The joy of watching them is only
matched by the music which fills the air while I watch them each day.
These beautiful creatures are evidence to me of the awesome hand of God which
is at work all around me each moment of the day. However, if I had not
learned to take the time to begin bird watching I would have missed out on the
joy of discovering a downy woodpecker outside our dining room window just last
week.
I
wonder if we even stop to look around us for the evidence of God's hand at
work? Are we too busy to listen to the song of the birds? If we
are, maybe we have even missed the voice of God. Maybe we have even
missed the evidence of God's presence in our homes, in the laughter of a child
or the embrace of a friend. Maybe we
have even become too busy to develop a relationship with God that is more than
superficial.
Until
a few months ago, I confess I was missing some of the evidence of God's
blessings in my life. I was just too busy. Then God
reminded me through the words of King Solomon in Ecclesiastes 3, that
everything has its own time. I was doing ministry, but I was not taking
time to just see the hand of God or listen for His voice. I began to pay
attention in a new way. I began to look for the hand of God. I
heard the downy woodpecker and then watched and listened as I saw this
beautiful bird in the tree at the back of our yard.
You
see, I know there will be a day when the birds I watch each morning will
migrate south for another winter. The daffodils will die off; the
squirrels will still come to feed, but they may not play in the trees like they
do now. Each day will come to an end and be gone forever. If I had not
been paying attention to what God was trying to tell me, I would have missed
the evidence of His hand blessing me.
Yes,
there are still times that I am too busy. God and I are working on that, but I
am learning. You see, I don't want to miss the special blessing God may
bring into my day!
Please,
don't be so busy you miss the blessings in each day!

When We
Need God's Love Most
When is the time that we need God's love most? Of course we
need that love every moment! But there are times when God's love is especially
precious to us. Times when we lose a loved one, or when life becomes so
confusing that we do not know where to turn. Or when life just becomes
meaningless and depression sets in. Sometimes it is important to have someone
to talk with.
Our
congregation has 22 trained Stephen Ministers who offer caring Christian
friendship and concerned, confidential listening to people when they need it
most. If you would like to know more about how a Stephen Minister could care
for you or someone you know please call:
Rev. Ron 238-6135, Pastor Paula 238-6135, Jim Boyer 572-4976, Hildi
Fitzpatrick 572-5004, Karen or Mark Milia 572-0602, or Bev. Wells 572-1415.
Why in the World…are
we fixing the window wells if we are getting ready to move? The Board of
Trustees debated that question before coming to the conclusion that this
project had to be done. For some time the window wells have been crumbling and
the railing was not secure in several places. Each time there is a heavy rain
the basement floods due to this problem. Many of the retaining walls were on
the verge of collapse. The Trustees believe that, in addition to the basement
flooding, there are also serious safety and liability concerns. We are at least
a few years away from moving and the Board felt that this problem had to be
fixed. Repairing the window wells will not only correct the existing problems,
but will also make our property more attractive to future buyers when we do
move. Roger Katon,
Chairman, Board of Trustees
· Notes from the Nurses ·
May is National
Osteoporosis Prevention Month. Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become porous,
fragile, and more likely to break. Women are four times more likely than men to
develop the disease, but men can also suffer from it. Osteoporosis is largely preventable for most people and
prevention is very important because, while there are treatments, there is no
cure. There are four steps to prevention and all are necessary. 1) A balanced
diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Depending on age, an appropriate calcium
intake is between 1000 & 1300 mg. a day. If you are unable to get enough calcium
in your diet, take a supplement. Vitamin D is needed for the body to absorb
calcium and, if not present, your body will rob the calcium from your bones.
Experts recommend 400-800 IU per day. Sources are fortified dairy products, egg
yolks, saltwater fish and liver. Your skin can absorb vitamin D from sunlight.
2) Weight-bearing exercise. The best exercises are walking, dancing, jogging,
stair climbing, racquet sports, and hiking. With regular exercise in childhood
and adolescence, you are more likely to reach your peak bone density, so keep
those kids busy! 3) A healthy lifestyle with no smoking or excessive alcohol
use. 4) Bone density testing and
medications when appropriate. There are FDA approved medications that
slow or stop bone loss, increase bone density, and reduce fracture risk. There
is an accurate, painless, noninvasive test to diagnose osteoporosis and
determine risk for future fractures.
You may be at risk
if you are a slender, small-framed woman,
postmenopausal, of white or Southeast Asian descent, have a family
history, are aging, or have used
corticosteriods for a long time.
It is never too
late to do something about osteoporosis. If you haven’t reached menopause, take
the above measures to prevent it. If you’re postmenopausal, talk to your doctor
about tests to detect the disease and ways to halt bone loss.
Don’t Forget!!

From our church’s mailbox
Dear
Church Family,
I
would like to express a thank you to Rev. Ron for his caring visits and flowers
to my Aunt Hazel, both at her home and at Falling Water. She talked
endlessly about the love from this church that was shared with her. Thank you also for Rev. Ron's comfort of
words, songs and hugs to my children and cousins when Aunt Hazel Lubinski
passed away.
Thank you to those who prayed for her and
sent cards and for the phone calls. Such concern and comfort and grace
that pours from this congregation is truly a blessing of God's love.
Thanks be to God, in Christian Love,
Karen
Ransbury & Barbara Black

From
Alys’ Desk
Over
the course of a year and a half the Safe Sanctuaries Task Group has been
meeting, reading, reviewing, and collating resource material for a child
protection policy that provides a safe, secure environment for our children and
youth as they participate in church events.
The policy also provides protection for the adults who volunteer to work
with our youth as teachers, mentors, counselors, etc. The mandate for establishing a child protection policy and
procedures was issued by our Bishop of East Ohio Conference. Other churches in our conference are
adopting similar policies.
In
order to properly institute the policy and procedures that have been approved
by our Administrative Board, all people who will be participating in the
education and youth ministries of our church need to be trained. Initial training involves attending a
one-hour workshop during which the foundational guidelines are discussed. Also each volunteer is asked to fill out an
application form that will be kept on file.
Full implementation of this
policy will begin in the Fall Quarter.
In order to have a complete roster of teachers, all applications will
need to be completed and turned into me by the end of June.
Safety,
security, trust, confidence – all of these are important to us in our personal
lives and in the life of our church family. Daily we trust our ultimate source
of security, our Heavenly Father, for both the ordinary and the distressing
events of life. Let us be diligent and responsible as we serve each other, our
children, and our youth.
May
these verses from Psalm 16 serve as encouragement:
“Keep me safe, O God, for in you
I take refuge.” Psalm 16:1
“Lord, you have
assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.” Psalm 16:5
“I
have set the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” Psalm 16:8
NIV Life Application Bible
“By
saying that he ‘will not be shaken,’ David was talking about the unique sense
of security felt by believers. God does
not exempt believers from the day-to-day circumstances of life. Believers and unbelievers alike experience
pain, trouble, and failure at times (Matthew 5:45). Unbelievers have a sense of hopelessness about life and confusion
over their true purpose on earth. Those
who seek God, however, can move ahead confidently with what they know is right
and important in God’s eyes. They know
that God will keep them from being moved off of his chosen path.” Commentary from Life Application Bible
Kids, don’t miss out on the Polar
Expedition!
This year’s Vacation
Bible School theme is POLAR EXPEDITION, where kids discover Jesus’ love
is cool! It will be held from June
18-22. We are looking for people to be
Cool Crew Leaders (teens or adults who supervise 5 to 6 children as they travel

We look forward to seeing everyone come
along with us on the POLAR EXPEDITION!
Youth Mission Trip
Auction – June 10th
In
July fourteen youth and adults from our church will spend a week at Mountain
Top, Tennessee in service to others. The youth have come up with an exciting
idea to raise money for the trip: On Sunday, June 10th there will be
an auction in Tiber Hall. The entire congregation is invited and encouraged to
participate by making donations of goods or services for auction. The goal of
this event is to raise $5,000 for the mission trip (the church that gave us
this idea has done auctions for several years and has raised as much as $10,000
from one event). Some examples of donations are:
A
round of golf for two…
Indians
tickets…
Dinner
for 2 at the Pomeroy House or ???
10
Hours of babysitting…
A
custom made dress…
Cut
& trim grass for one month…
Free
oil change
Browns
tickets…
Be
creative! If you would prefer donating
an item (rather than a service), be sure it is new…no used stuff, please. A
more complete list of ideas has been placed on the Youth Bulletin Board in the
atrium. Check it out!
The
fun begins at 7:00pm on the 10th.
Refreshments will be served and a good time is guaranteed. Please come
out and support our youth as they serve Christ by serving others. If you have
questions or would like to make a donation, call Paul Wells (572-1415) or Greg
Grimwood (238-6135).
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************
A big Thank You ...to the Worship Committee of our
church which has faithfully led us through the seasons of Lent and Easter. We
are most grateful to our musicians, ushers, greeters, and acolytes who have
willingly taken additional responsibilities upon themselves to make this a time
of deep meaning and reflection.
Adult
New Members will be
received into full membership in this congregation on Sunday, May 6th
during both services. We rejoice in those who have made a conscious decision to
be a part of our church fellowship and profess publically their faith in Jesus
Christ. A reception will be held between services in Tiber Hall to welcome
these new members to our church family.
Memorial
Gifts will be
dedicated during our worship services
on Sunday, May 27th. Both the 9:30 and 11:00 services will include a
time of affirming gifts that have been given to the church in memory of
someone. We give deep thanks for these perpetual remembrances of individuals
and their lives in Christ.
May 3rd is the National Day of Prayer. The Christ
Church of Strongsville will sponsor a time of “Prayer on the Square” at 6:30pm on that Thursday. Please
mark your calendars and plan now to attend.
On Sunday, April 1st we
were honored to have Ken Mehalko play his Native American Flutes during Communion. In
response to many questions, Ken provided us with some information about his
instruments. Both flutes are handmade of cedar wood. One was made in Montana
and one in Oregon. The carved animals covering the air passages are a bear and
a bird. Many thanks to Ken for
enhancing our worship in this unique way.
Have you ever wondered...what happens to those pop cans once
they come out of the machine and their contents are consumed? Several
receptacles around the church collect the empty cans which are then taken by
Gordon Evans and recycled. The money Gordon collects for recycling is then
donated to the Metro Hospital Burn Unit. Thanks Gordon for your dedication to
helping others.
Souled Out
Something to Think About
by Greg
My hands are shaking; my life just passed
before my eyes...all in the name of youth ministry. It was Dale, John, Jeff,
and me. They are all seasoned skateboarders here in Strongsville. I am not a
seasoned skateboarder. I am a Youth Pastor. I’ve never backed down from a
challenge, so I decided to attempt the impossible: Jump the stairs (actually it
was just one little step). I mean, how hard could it be? They were soaring
through the air with ease. After all, I was a college athlete, I’m coordinated.
What’s the big deal? As Dale rolled his skateboard to my feet, I realized the
first problem: My feet could never fit on that tiny little board. The next
problem is that, although I consider myself to have a pretty decent sense of
balance, stepping onto a board with wheels on it presents a whole new set of
rules.
As I slowly rolled toward the step, I was
picturing all the lovely injuries that I might experience in the next few
moments; at best a twisted ankle, at worst a broken neck! I was silently praying
as Dale spoke up. “Greg, I don’t think you should try this if this is your
first time skating.” Visions of angels singing “Hallelujah” danced through my
head. I stopped the skateboard in a clumsy, unconventional sort of way, and
stepped down from my sure sentence of injury. I guess the point of all this is
that I would have done it. I saw this as an opportunity to earn some respect
from these kids, build a relationship, and eventually share with them the true
source of hope and life: Jesus Christ. I used to see skaters (and other youth
who dance to a music that most of us can’t yet hear) as nuisances, a waste of
time, hopeless, inconsiderate. The more I prayed and put on my “Jesus-goggles”
the more I began to see them as Christ sees them: Children of God. Children
that many of us have given up on. Children who have been literally rejected,
disrespected, and judged by pretty much everyone they come into contact with.
So instead of giving them dirty looks as I drive by them on the street, or
telling them that they don’t have any respect for anyone or anything, I stop
and join them. I love them. I share my story with them. I can’t help but
remember what Jesus said in the parable of the great feast, “Go out quickly
into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled,
the blind and the lame.” So I’ll go out and bring in the skaters, the juvenile
delinquents, the kids nobody else wants anything to do with and show them the
love and acceptance of Christ. If I break a bone or two, so be it. If that’s
what it takes to bring these guys (and gals) to heaven with me, I’ll do it with
a smile.
