News from Court Street United Methodist Churchwww.courtstreetumc.org March 2019

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.John 15:13 NIV

It was another great day! I received a text from Jason, a member of the church and also a fireman, saying: “Hello! I’m cooking at work next shift, Thursday. Would you like to join us for lunch?” I responded: “I would love to join you for lunch! Thursday looks good right now.” Jason replied, “Cool, it’s Station #10, 3407 Rural Street. We try to eat around 11:30 a.m. Come early and visit, if you’d like.” I responded, “Thanks! I will be there around 11:00 a.m.”

Thursday came, and at 8:55 a.m. Jason texted: “Hope you can still make it today, London Broil is on the menu.” Along with the text message, Jason sent a picture of the London Broil in his special marinade. It looked appealingly delicious!

I arrived at Station #10, and sure enough, Jason was outside preparing the grill for the London Broil. He approached my car, and directed me to a park-ing location at the back of the Fire Station. I entered the station, and Jason introduced his colleagues, Nick, Greg, Kim, and Steven. I was told that they work 24 hours on (8 a.m. to 8 a.m.), and 48 hours off.

Fire Station #10 also serves as an ambulance station; so, in addition to being firemen, they are also paramedics. As paramedics, they work 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the ambulance, and then switch to work 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. on the truck as firemen; at the next shift change, they would start on the truck and switch to the ambulance at night.

We were having a wonderful fellowship, as they enlightened me on their unpredictable and challenging days. As the clock inched toward twelve noon, a loud alarm, followed by verbal information, sounded. The ambulance crew were being requested, and seemingly, in a matter of seconds, off went Kim and Steven. Siren sounds and exhaust fumes are all that I could sense.

Jason, Nick, Greg, and myself, sat down at the table to break more than bread: London Broil, garlic mashed potatoes, and corn. Yummy! Jason had prepared a delicious meal. Once again, as we stuffed ourselves, another

loud alarm began. Everyone dropped their eating utensils and de-serted me at the table. Jason: “Come on Pastor Cal you are going with us.” Jason, Nick, Greg, and myself headed toward one of the High Schools, due to a medical emergency. We arrived and ev-eryone functioned like a well oiled machine. As a unified unit, they addressed the need(s) at hand until the ambulance unit arrived, and

transported the patient. As an observer, I reflected on how each one of the men and woman were willing to enter into harm’s way to rescue, assist, and even sacrifice themselves for “others.” A hero is someone who gives of themselves, often putting their own life at great risk, for the greater good of others. I thank God that I got a chance to “Hang Out with Heroes!” Please pray for our “Civil Servants.”

Grace,

Pastor Cal

March 2019

Court Street congregation and friends have shown that they are aware of the need for a commit-ment to our CSUMC Community, this body of Christ, so that we can carry on all the many ministries we are engaged in and feel so passion-ate about. So far we have turned in 94 pledges, praise the Lord! We have received pledges total-

ing $231,088.00 at the time of this printing. We have prayed very ear-nestly over our pledges, and, by the Grace of God, we are on the way to meeting our proposed budget for 2019. If you haven’t turned your pledge in yet, you may still do so.Pledge cards are available in the Church Office or in the pew rack on Sunday morning.

The Chimes

With all the cold weather this winter, and the snow melting and refreezing, we all need to be more cautious with walking in general. According to the National Safety Council, 25,000 slip, trip, and fall accidents occur daily in the United States. From a recent blog I read at OSF by Lisa Coon, I learned about tak-ing it slow on the ice and walking like a penguin. Nearly all injuries from slips and falls on snow and ice fall under the classification of “traumatic injuries.” These injuries range from minor bruises, cuts, and abrasions to serious bone fractures, spinal cord damage, and concussions according to the National Safety Council. “Slipping and falling accounts for a large number of winter-related injuries and can have an impact on the quality of life for the injured person,” said Dianne Endress, APN. The most common injuries en-countered as a result of slipping on the ice are head injuries as well as fractured arms, legs, and hips. “Falls commonly occur when a person is getting out of a vehicle or walking in a parking lot or on a sidewalk,” Endress said. Another danger spot is encountered when walking into a building or home

with wet surfaces caused by track-ing in snow or ice. The Farmer’s Almanac states that people who live in colder climates are more accli-mated to walking on icy surfaces because they have learned to walk like a penguin. To walk like a pen-guin, do the following: • Bend slightly and walk flat-footed. • Keep your center of gravity over your feet as much as possible. • Point your feet out slightly......well..... like a penguin. • Shuffle your feet and take short steps. • Watch where you are stepping. • Concentrate on keeping your balance. • Keep your arms at your sides and hands out of your pockets. • Go slow. Have good winter boots with a large tread or you can wear ice cleats that attach to shoes and pro-vide gripping power on ice Learn how to take a fall: People should also learn how to fall to pre-vent seriously hurting themselves. The most important thing accord-ing to the Farmer’s Almanac, is to protect your head. Bones will heal; a head injury can be an entirely dif-ferent matter and could even result in death.

Here are some tips on how to protect your head during a fall: • If you feel yourself beginning to fall, tuck your chin against your chest to prevent your head from hitting the ice or pavement. • Cradle your arms around your head. • As you fall, try to fold your body into itself, which helps to decrease the height of the fall. • As you hit the ground, roll and exhale sharply to tense up your body and allow for it to absorb the impact. • Never try breaking a fall by bracing yourself with your hand as it likely will only result in a sprain or a break . Because of this long winter, do not get lax as the weather warms up during the day; remember the ground and steps can refreeze overnight and cause more danger-ous situations as we go out in the morning........Be safe!

Health & Wellness From our Parish Nurse...

Haskell Elementary School donations for March. We are continuing to ask for donations of activity books and word search books. These are very inexpensive at the Dollar Stores. It is hoped that we will get enough that some of the students can take them home to share with their families. Thanks, Court Street, for helping us fulfill this need. Please leave the books in the container in the Narthex. Blessings, Nurture/ Outreach Committee

GERI RYAN

“. . . do not squander time,for that is the stuff life is made of.”

~ B. Franklin

Supporting that belief, Geri defines “vol-unteerism.” In fact, wherever she senses a need, she selflessly completes the task. Geri’s resumé includes:

— performing the duties of CourtStreet UMC Administrative Council as Chair and/or Vice Chair,— serving as Court Street UMC Trustee Chair,— representing our church at Rockford Urban Ministries,— supervising many church tours,— leading our church’s Hospitality Team,— singing with Chancel Choir,— ringing handbells with JuBellation,— serving as President of our church’s United Methodist Women,— continuing her involvement with our church’s Nurture & Outreach Team,— continuing her participation with the History & Archives Team,plus . . . . (the list goes on).

Geri Ryan consistently exemplifies a work ethic nearly unparalled.Kudos to her!

The Ministry of Van Drivingfor Sunday Morning Service

Calling all available drivers! We need more volunteers to drive our van on Sunday mornings to pick up those who need a ride. This is a wonderfully rewarding ministry as those who need rides are so very appreciative. We try to work the schedule so that one would drive no more than once a month. With more volunteers, one might only have to drive ev-ery other month. We need drivers, male or fe-male, who are able to help peo-ple into and out of the van, and sometimes assist with collapsing a walker or wheelchair to fit into the back of the van. The office will need to take a photo-copy of your driver’s license and of your current insurance card. Please call Tim Gorman at 815-636-0514 if you are interested in helping to keep this vital ministry alive.

Jeremiah Development Executive Director’s Report for January 2019

Much of January was spent preparing for 2019. Jeanine Wang and I met with most of the LOVE Rockford committees to touch base after the holidays. We received the funds from the Kjellstrom Family Foun-dation Grant and purchased a printer, projector, and a large screen. Their main use will be for fundraising pre-sentations and to increase community awareness of LOVE Rockford and Jeremiah Development. The Neighbor-hood Committee is looking into hosting an event, “Movies in the Park,” once a month during the summer. I am still connecting with possible partners for this. I will be meeting with representatives from BMO Harris Center, the Park District, and the CHNA. Fortunately, we have a projector and large screen we can use! The Fundraising Committee met to finalize the plans for our big fundraiser, “A Night in Italy” that will be held March 31 at the Mendelssohn Club. I met with Grant McCarty from the University of Illinois Extension Office and we walked through the garden (yes, it was snowy and cold!). He has a good grasp of our needs and will begin recruiting volunteers. He will be coming back in a few weeks to begin working in the garden himself! Jeanine and I met with James Patterson of the Community Foundation of Illinois to introduce him to LOVE Rockford and Jeremi-ah Development and to discuss funding possibilities for the laundromat. It was a fruitful meeting with several recommendations from him. Much of the work this month was laying the foundation for an exciting 2019.

The Chimes

March 17 We Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter at Kathy Welk’s 1012 Mayfair Ct.

Inspired by the incredible true story of one Jewish family sepa-rated at the start of World War II, determined to survive—and to re-unite— ‘We Were the Lucky Ones’ is a tribute to the triumph of hope and love against all odds. It is the spring of 1939 and three

generations of the Kurc family are doing their best to live normal lives, even as the shadow of war grows closer. The talk around the family Seder table is of new babies and budding romance, not of the increasing hardships threatening Jews in their hometown of Radom, Poland. But soon the horrors over-taking Europe will become ines-capable and the Kurcs will be flung to the far corners of the world, each desperately trying to navigate his or her own path to safety. As one sibling is forced into exile, another attempts to flee the continent, while others struggle to escape certain death, either by working grueling hours on empty stomachs in the factories of the ghetto or by hiding as gentiles in plain sight. Driven by an unwaver-ing will to survive and by the fear

that they may never see one anoth-er again, the Kurcs must rely on hope, ingenuity, and inner strength to persevere. An extraordinary, propulsive novel, ‘We Were the Lucky Ones’ demonstrates how in the face of the twentieth century’s darkest mo-ment, the human spirit can endure and even thrive.

Finishing the year 2018 has left Court Street UMC very blessed by numerous people. Unless you’re involved with the finances of the church, you don’t necessarily see all of the blessings God has showered upon us.

Thank you to those who gave us financial support in 2018. We re-ceived $221,937.25 in pledged gifts, $37,891.20 in non-pledged gifts, $3,912.10 from Easter gifts, and $5,477.00 from Christmas gifts. We are also very grateful for the bequests we received in 2018 from the Perry Family Trust, the Guy B. Reno Family Foundation, the Mincemoyer Estate, and the Wayne and Ruth Diehl Trust totaling $153,422.18. The blessings continued with anonymous donations and a gift from Garden Bazaar to help offset our electricity charges and equip-

ment and roof repairs for a total of $5,700.00. These totals do not include over $36,000 given for various mis-sions and outreach services or the numerous in-kind gifts given to Haskell Academy. All of this helped pay for our 2018 operating expenses totaling $493,148.73. It takes a lot of people to keep our church healthy and doing God’s work. We thank God for you and your willingness to participate and support Court Street United Meth-odist Church in God’s mission.

The United Methodist Women continues to organize, prepare, and serve funeral/memorial service luncheons at the request of families who have lost a loved one. We appreciate help from anyone in the congregation. If you can bake a cake, help with setup, decorate tables, serve food, wash dishes or help with cleanup, please let us know, and we will add your name to our list. You can choose what you would like to do and you do not need to help at every funeral. For more information or to signup, please call Diane Risley at (815) 964-2226 or Barb Ferry at (815) 965-6518.

Please join us on March 24 after church in the Narthex to Celebrate the 150 Birthday of United Methodist Women. Cake and coffee will be served. On March 23, 1869, eight women gathered at Tremont Methodist Episcopal Church in Boston, Massachusetts, and organized the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society-what would later become the United Meth-odist Women. Those women

raised money to send a doctor, Clara Swain, and a teacher, Isabel-la Thoburn to India to serve the women of the nation. Since then, for nearly 150 years, United Methodist Women has evolved to become the largest women’s faith-based service and advocacy organization, under-writing programs that provide life-changing opportunities for women, children, and youth.

March 6, 2019The Leadership(formerly Mission Team) will meet in room 209 for our monthly meeting at 10:30 AM.

YOU are Made for a Miracle!At some time in our lives, most of us have prayed for or hoped for a miracle—an event that seems impossible but is brought about by God’s transcendent power. But when miracles occur, did you know that you have a role to play?

If that’s true, what’s the catch? What do we have to do? What’s it going to cost us?

Popular author and pastor Mike Slaughter examines the two components of every miracle: divine action and human responsibility. For a real miracle to take place, we must act with God, using whatever gifts, talents, and abilities we have and di-recting them toward God’s work. We need to follow the examples of Mary in the birth of Jesus, Jesus’ followers when he healed them, and Jesus’ disciples after he rose from the dead.

This Lent use your God-given gifts and talents for God’s glory, and get ready to be made for a miracle. You are invited to a video-based study by Mike Slaughter:
