SEMINARIAN, BRIAN WARFIELD, walked in last week’s CROP Walk. Donations can be contributed during the next six weeks. Brian wrote the following about his experience:
“After the service, I missed the church-wide meeting in order to attend the CROP walk with my family. While it was not very enjoyable physically (walking 5 miles without any practice rarely is), there was something to be gained spiritually and pastorally. I only wish that I had spent more of the time thinking about "spiritual" things rather than when the walk would end. Even so, it was an encouraging experience to see various Christian and Jewish congregations interacting with one another and participating in an activity that seeks to help the people the Hebrew Prophets and Christ were most concerned about. As I overheard some teenage girls discussing the overall value of the walk, I felt compelled to agree with the girl who said, "What's the point of walking? It's not like walking is going to end hunger." Right she was. But as I continued to think about why we were walking, I came to the conclusion that we were walking for three different types of people: ourselves, other individuals at the park, and the hungry. We walk for ourselves so that charity does not become a disinterested, impersonal activity where I can donate money online and never move my feet an inch in the direction of the poor and hungry. We need to be changed; we need to be engaged. So we walk. We also walk so those passing by will see that there is a brotherhood among all of God's children and that these timeless principles of caring for the needy are so great and so vital that we must join together in practicing them. Finally, and most importantly, we walk for the hungry so that their cause is taken up by people who will do more than write a check and go on about their lives. By walking, we give our friends and family some face to keep in their minds as they think about the reality of millions of people suffering from malnourishment.”

IN SECOND HOUR THIS WEEK: Yosi Weldemedhir, a graduate student at the Woodrow Wilson School of Princeton University, recently returned from a year in Tunisia. In second hour, she will start with a general introduction of the country, population, culture, religion, and a short history of its colonial past. Yosi writes: “I will be discussing my experiences in this country of contradictions - Tunisia's abundant beaches make it a haven for bikini-clad tourists although it is still a place of traditions and one where a woman's value is judged by her 'marriage-ability'. I will be discussing my life in the past year and also provide a glimpse into the lives of my Tunisian friends, a wonderful group of people I have come to love. I intend to touch upon their religious, social and political lives to provide a better idea of what life is really like for the citizens.”
LYNN HARPER WRITES that she “…has been called as the Interim Protestant Pastor for the Seabrook Village Retirement Community in Tinton Falls, where she currently serves as the Interfaith Chaplain. Beginning in October, she will be leading Sunday worship at Seabrook.”

SUNDAY SCHOOL: Sunday School starts on September 19th! Did you know there are only fourteen Sundays between then and Christmas? The Sunday School is in need of volunteers to help out during each of those fourteen Sundays. Each volunteer would need to commit to just two weeks of teaching. We have new curriculum that is very user friendly and requires minimal preparation. There are 2 classes- a younger class for children age 6 and under with 2 to 5 children attending each week, and an older class with 2 to 4 children each week. Come join us as we minister to the youngest in our midst. Please contact Kate Simon (katie.r.simon@gmail.com 609-218-0277) or Pastor Jeff.
September 21st is the annual International Day of Prayer for Peace, sponsored by the World Council of Church’s and coinciding with the UN’s International Day of Peace. The International Day of Prayer for Peace offers an opportunity for church communities around the world to pray and act together to nurture a just peace in the hearts of people, their families, communities and societies. The idea was proposed in 2004 during a meeting between WCC general secretary Rev. Dr Samuel Kobia and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. The focus for this year is Africa and theme is "Work and Pray in Hope for Peace.”
Pray for Peace- Take a moment to pray for peace on September 21st or dedicate a worship service to peace in your community.
Work for Peace- Take action by contacting your Senator to ask him/her to ratify the New START Treaty to ensure U.S. security and take a step toward further nuclear disarmament.

Bless this child and bless this day
Of new beginnings.

And surround this child, Lord,
With the soft mantle of your love.
Teach this child to follow in your footsteps,
And to live life in the ways of
Love, faith, hope and charity.

FIFTH SUNDAY HYMN SING: As is now our custom at CC, we try to have an alternative worship format on fifth Sundays. On August 29, we're having a hymn sing --- so come prepared to sing some of your favorite oldies. Scroll down and you’ll find a list of songs and hymns. Think about your favorites. On Sunday, during worship, you’ll have an opportunity to request one (or more) of your favorites — and, we’d like you to tell us why the song has special meaning for you.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HODGES Family on the birth of Autumn, born August 25.
OUTREACH MINISTRY OFFERING: The OMO for July and August will go to the establishment of a Social Action discretionary fund. The past few years, natural disasters, sudden human-caused catastrophes, and a number of more localized emergencies have occurred and demanded our attention.

Of course, the BP oil spill is on our minds this year, and we will likely look into partnering with organizations we have worked with in the past to help address the needs as they continue to arise.

FROM JUDY: The camp where I work, and Julia attends, is looking for a bone marrow match for a four year old — her name is Charlotte. There are no matches for her within her family nor on the National Registry, probably because she is part Armenian. If you would like to become a bone marrow donor, the process involves only a consent form and a cheek swab test, and then volunteers are added to the national registry, not just for Charlotte. The camp will also be holding a walk-a-thon to raise money since it costs about $90 per donor to process and maintain the National Bone Marrow Donor Program Registry. If you are willing to be tested, please call 215-752-1987 to set up an appointment. If you would like to contribute money, please email judy.hodges@yahoo.com.

OUTREACH MINISTRY OFFERING (OMO) FOR JUNE:
This month’s OMO will go to the Princeton-Trenton Crisis Ministry.
We (Crisis Ministry) assist more than 1,300 Trenton area households and more than 200 Princeton area households with food each month. In addition, each month about 120 people who are homebound receive a home delivery of food from volunteer church groups. These teams of caring volunteers deliver the food to disabled or elderly people who receive a smile and a friendly visit with their delivery. Read more at: http://bit.ly/blP41P

Lots happening on June 27. First of all it’s Youth Sunday and our youth will greet and read scripture and sing. Then we’ll recognize our wonderful Sunday school teachers and give thanks for their ministry to our youth. It’s also a day to recognize our graduates — this year from high school and college: Alex, Bethany, Brad and David. Then, sadly, we’ll say Godspeed to our wonderful friends – the Arp family. Please plan to attend.
CONGREGATIONAL MEETING: June 27, following worship.

In God's loving presence I unwind the past day,
starting from now and looking back, moment by moment.
I gather in all the goodness and light, in gratitude.
I attend to the shadows and what they say to me, seeking healing, courage, forgiveness.

Meet our new seminarian: This Sunday, Anthony Livolsi will begin his field education work with us at CC.
Anthony writes:
Warmest greetings to all of you at Christ Congregation!
My name is Anthony Livolsi and I have the good fortune to serve alongside you all in ministry as a seminarian-in-residence. I am — and this assumes my math is correct! — exactly halfway through the M.Div program at Princeton Seminary and loving every minute of it. Born in Jersey but bred in Phoenix, being back East feels like a homecoming of sorts; I'll take the romance of a snowstorm over dusty, desert monsoons any day! When I'm not reading for class, you can likely find me… reading for leisure. (Sickening, I know.) I also enjoy distance running, people-watching at Small World Coffee, and most baked goods.
I look forward to meeting you all personally in the days ahead!
Anthony
