Sometimes you will hear people say when they are describing someone like Abraham Lincoln or Winton Churchill, “He was a born leader.” Is that true? Is leadership an intrinsic trait that could somehow be found in the DNA or are leaders created by the circumstances in which they live and rising to meet them? This month I will begin a series of sermons taken from the life of Moses who led his people from bondage to liberty. We will see that Moses clearly was a man used by God; but we will also see that he was an imperfect man with weaknesses and fears, doubts and questions. In other words, he was a lot like us. Even so, God was able to use him to do great things, so maybe God can use us as well.

4 PEW POINTS

• EASTMINSTER CARESCHRISTMAS FOOD BOXES have been successfully packed full of goodies because of your generosity. These families are very appreciative for making their holidays a little brighter. A huge thank you to Leslie Atkins for her help in organizing the event and making contact with Bell Family Shelter, to Lee Hankey, John Henty (and Jane, Thanksgiving), Nancy Edwards for help with moving, organizing, shopping for and boxing food and to Glen Bloss, without whom we would have no boxes to pack. Our thanks to all who turned out early on Saturday morning to box and move those boxes to the van. Great job everyone!

CHRISTMAS GIFTS ABOUNDI want to thank the congregation for its generosity and Christmas spirit again this year. Through our Christmas gift giving program, our congregation helped supply gifts to more than 80 children in need, both from Bell Family Shelter and our preschool. May God bless all of you in the New Year! The mission committee thank Beth Anne so very much for coordinating this entire mission project and making Christmas a little brighter for so many!

MISSION TRIP TO BEAUMONT, TEXAS We are working with the Wrightsville Presbyterian Church who has a group going to help rebuild in Beaumont. They have great experience doing mission trips and we are grateful for their willingness to include us. The trip is February 10-17, and the expectation is that the focus would be on drywall and rebuilding. If you are interested, please let me know at [email protected] or 717-793-2056. I will share further information with you and have you added to their list of interested people. You will be kept informed regarding information and future meetings at Wrightsville PC. Donegal Presbytery has agreed to reimburse mission participants up to $300 for your plane ticket. I look forward to hearing from you.

BROWNIE BAKERS Brownie Baker Signup Sheet is on the bulletin board near the grocery card sign up sheet. Please take a moment to sign up along with the number of batches you will be bringing. Many thanks!Brownie Bakers, your delicious brownie treats are due at the church January 4th by 10:00 a.m. Thank you so much, as they are much appreciated by Our Daily Bread clients.Brownie Transport People Needed! After these delicious brownies are baked and delivered to the church, we need people to transport them to Our Daily Bread at 10:00 a.m., located at 331 S. George Street. You would then stay and volunteer to serve lunch at the soup kitchen. It is a wonderful experience! There will be a signup sheet on the doors near the grocery card signup sheet. Thank you so much!

SALVATION ARMY In Grateful Recognition of EPC’s Faithful Support over many years, the Salvation Army has sent a beautiful certifi cate recognizing us as a member of the William Booth Society in honor of being one of their most committed donors. A beautiful Christmas ornament was also included as a thank you to this congregation for its generous philanthropy. How gratifying it is to know that hundreds of people have been helped and renewed by God’s grace through this ministry! Both items can be seen in the back of the church.

UPDATE ON EYES We are now packing 50 bags for East York Elementary School. A small coloring book featuring the story of Christmas was added to the last bag they receive before Christmas vacation.

Thank you for your generous support! Glory be to God for His provision!Georgia Mazzolla, Missions

YOU HAVE A NEW NUMBER THIS YEAR This year you will have a NEW WEEKLY OFFERING ENVELOPE NUMBER. Each year we have members die or leave Eastminster, and occasionally we have to purge the membership rolls. As a result, last year we had about 40 Weekly Off ering Boxes that went unused. At $2.26 per box, we decided this year to reduce the number of boxes we ordered. This means that you can no longer keep the same number as in the past. Please pick up your Off ering Boxes as soon as possible. After they have been removed from the sanctuary, you can pick them up in the Church Offi ce.Richard Witzke, Stewardship Elder

Eastminster Presbyterian Church 5

PER CAPITA Per capita is an amount of money per member (this year, $34.78) that our congregation pays to our larger Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). This money is part of the glue that holds Presbyterians together. It is the money that enables us to work with other Presbyterian churches in our presbytery and across the country. It is also money that allows us to work with other churches to further the mission of Jesus Christ around the world.

We do not believe in being lone rangers in the PC(USA). We need each other as we work together to share the good news of Jesus Christ. As we benefit from the gifts, skills, vision, and ministry of each other in this place, so, too, do we benefit from an even wider array of gifts and ministry of our Presbyterian brothers and sisters across the church. Your per capita pays for the programs, training, and resources that help us work together and discern the mind of Christ for the PC(USA).

According to our records, only 60% paid their per capita for 2017. By contributing your portion of per capita, you have freed up dollars in our regular budget for the work of our congregation in this community.

Richard Witzke, , Stewardship Elder

YOU CAN’T ASSUME YOUR WISHES ARE KNOWN Today, more than ever before, we are asking ourselves, “What will become of my property when I die?” It may be because we need and want to make every provision possible to assure future security for our families, in the face of inflation and longer life spans. Most certainly, it is because more information on the need for making a will is available. It is disappointing, if not tragic, when estates are settled without the benefit of a will.

You can know with a will. If you already have a legal will, you can know what will become of your property. If you do not have a legal will, consider the following: 1. You cannot assume “my spouse/partner gets everything.” 2. You cannot assume estate taxes and court costs are the same with or without a will. 3. You cannot assume that any of your assets will go to the church.

How to get started. Step 1: List the persons you have responsibility for, including yourself. Step 2: Prepare a list of all of your property. Include all your assets. Step 3: Write down what you want to do for each person you listed and how you want to accomplish it. Step 4: Make an appointment to see an attorney and ask him or her to draft a legal will for you.

During the Eastminster 2018 Wills Awareness Program you will receive information quarterly concerning the importance of a will. Each mailing will contain a different brochure. In addition, there are three complimentary booklets which are available upon your request. These will be sent to you, free of charge, at 30-day intervals. The title of these three booklets are: “37 Things People “Know” about Wills That Aren’t Really So”, “How To Protect Your Rights With A Will”, and “Giving Through Your Will”. Contact Dick Witzke.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!Your FMC volunteers had a very busy end to 2017 with a total of 175 hours. Leaves were still blanketing the campusand required an additional FMC workday to rake and put out at the curb. The leaf trailer has been put away untilnext fall!

All the new doors have been installed in the Haines House with the one on the north side now in. That makes atotal of four new doors thanks to Gary Hoffman and his crew as well as all of you who purchase Giant, Weis andJerry’s cards each month that provided the monies for this project.

There have been a number of contractors at the Haines House installing a new HVAC system for the Multi-purposeand Copier Rooms, making for more quiet meetings. The hall and stairwell going up to the second floor wasrepaired and painted, including the stairwell going up to the second floor.

Did you know that every Sunday, a volunteer walks thru all the buildings and the sanctuary making sure that thelights and HVAC systems are turned off as well as all exit doors are locked? We ask for your continued assistancewith these tasks during the week when you and your committee or circle meet or are accessing the church, HainesHouse, and Fellowship Hall. Please make sure that the door locks behind when you leave as they have been foundopen on several occasions. Take a moment to actually tug on the door handle as our luck may just run out andsomeone would gain entrance with less than good intentions in mind.

A reminder to all of our church family and friends re: snow removal policy, unless it is a significant snowfall thatwould necessitate several trips to plow us out, the sidewalk and parking lots will be cleared once the snow hasstopped. Please check the website or with the person in charge of your committee/group before traveling to EPC incase there may be a cancellation or delay. We want everyone to be safe. It is the hope of your FMC committee that2018 will bring many blessings to you and your loved ones!

October 21st we had our Fall Gathering with a great turn out. Cheryl Peterson Jacquez, from York City, spoke about a program she has developed to help incarcerated women get back into the work force when released. She is collecting donated clothing and will open a place to replace Dress For Success - to help provide suitable clothing for interviews, etc. Cheryl shared her own story of incarceration which has brought her to this place in her life. We then had lunch, and a Pound Auction, which was a lot of fun. Auction money was donated to Cheryl for her cause.December 2nd was Deck the Halls for the women - we decorated Christmas trees in fellowship hall. Esther Circle provided lunch, and Denise Anderson (Peterson) spoke. She and husband Dan work for Servant Partners in a very depressed area of Philadelphia. They live in the community and do mission work there. She gave us an update on their activities and progress they’re making. We donated an item from their wish list as a Christmas present.See’s Candy Sale a Big Hit! Thank you so much for participating in our first candy fundraiser.
