Jacob’s Well

September 2018 The readings for the month of September are based on the lectionary for the Season of Creation, a season of the church year (like Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter or Pentecost) which celebrates God as Creator and invites every worshiper to consider his or her relationship to creation. The Season of Creation is consisdered “optional” but there is no other season which focuses in the same way on God as Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer of the universe.

From the Pastor… Ever since the creation of the world, God’s eternal power and divine nature,

invisible though they are,

have been understood and seen through the things God has made.”

Romans 1:20 NRSV

Dear Members and Friends of Old Saratoga,

Greetings in the grace and peace of Christ.

Earlier this month, when I was at the funeral home to lead a memorial service, one of the family members of the one departed noticed the cross I was wearing around my neck. It’s a cross I’ve

been wearing for several decades, but few people ever really ask about it. So I was surprised when this individual came over to say, “I like your Celtic cross,” and then asked me why I wear a

Celtic cross. I was happy to explain that for me, the Celtic cross is a reminder of the love of God in Christ

and the sacredness of all creation. The ancient Celtic religion in Europe, which preceded Christianity by some 900 years, held a deep respect for the earth and its creatures, the trees

and plants, the cycles and seasons. Their life, religious traditions and worldview, were closely tied to the creation. When Christianity came along, many of the old Celtic spiritual ways were prohibited or lost. But thankfully, there has been a survival of the Celtic spiritual wisdom, and

today there are people who know themselves as Celtic Christians, who hold deeply to the sanctity of creation and its relationship to the God of Life. I wear the Celtic cross because I believe that my life- and all our lives- are inseparably bound to God’s creation; and if we want to grow in wisdom and love, it is good to learn in part, “through

the things God has made.” Rom.1:20) Often in his own teaching, Jesus pointed to things in creation to help others understand the divine nature of God. With this in mind, and the present concern for the health of the Planet Earth, you may be interested to know that on the Sundays of September 9,16,23 and 30, we will be following the

Season of Creation lectionary in our worship. This will be the third year that we have celebrated the Season of Creation. On the first page of this newsletter you can find the themes

and scripture readings for each of these Sundays. In our worship of God as the Loving Creator, we hope and pray that our relationship with God

and all that God has made will grow in reverence, wisdom and gratitude.

As the seasons change, and autumn draws near, may we look to God to teach us what we need to know about faith and life “through the things God has made.”

Faithfully yours,

Pastor Joyce deVelder

HYMNS OF OUR FAITH “Sing to the Lord, you saints of his: praise his holy

name.” Psalm 30:4

“My Tribute”

“To God be the glory, to God be the glory,

To God be the glory for the things he has done.

With his blood he has saved me; with his power he has

raised me

To God be the glory for the things he has done.”

Andre Crouch, contemporary musician and

composer, took a cue from a famous hymn writer

of the 19th century and used it as a basis for a

modern day chorus of praise.

In the 1870s, Fanny Crosby wrote the hymn “To

God Be the Glory.” Despite being blind from

shortly after birth, Crosby wrote some 8,000 hymns

and gospel songs with over 100 million copies

printed, probably making her the most prolific

hymn writer of all time. Common themes of her

hymns were redemption through Jesus’ sacrifice,

and the hope for eternal life in God’s presence.

Andrae Crouch (1945-2015) was a songwriter,

pianist, arranger, record producer and pastor.

Contemporaries referred to Crouch as the “father

of modern gospel music.” Crouch picked up on

the first verse of Crosby’s hymn and wrote a

glorious chorus of praise which he entitled “My

Tribute,” which reiterates Fanny Crosby’s theme,

but also echoes Psalm 29:2: “Ascribe to the Lord

the glory due to his name.” Like Crosby’s hymn,

“My Tribute” confesses two essential doctrines of

the Christian faith; salvation through Christ’s

atoning sacrifice and new life to all believers in

Christ’s resurrection.

All too often, our approach to God in prayer is to

first petition for the things we want from God;

telling about our situation, our needs, our desires.

We ought first to recall the “great things God has

done,” as both Crosby and Crouch remind us in

their hymns and choruses. Our first words in

prayer should echo Psalm 29:2, ascribing to the

Lord the glory due his name.

The psalmist David wrote, “It is good to praise the

Lord and make music to your name, O Most High,

proclaiming your love in the morning and your

faithfulness in the night.” (Psalm 92: 1-2 NIV)

Dick Behrens

WORSHIP COMMITTEE NEWS The Worship Committee, in an effort to keep worship fresh, has made several changes in our service.

We have already begun to have “Prayers of the People” on the last Sunday of the month, when three people of the congregation offer the Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession. Members of the committee have modeled the format, but we will be asking for volunteers to take a turn. You would only need to write three or four sentences for one of three parts: Thanksgiving, Intercession for those in the church, community and world, and Intercession for the wider church.

Beginning in October, we will be using an updated version of the Lord’s Prayer, so that it is not a “rote” prayer, but will cause us to think more about what we are praying. At the end of December, evaluation of the congregation’s feedback will determine whether we continue to use it. It will be printed each week in the Sunday bulletin, as follows:

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.

Now that we have our new sound system, liturgists are asked to stay after worship on September 16 to try out the microphone to see how to project their voices so that everyone is able to hear the Scripture.

Coming Up: 1. Season of Creation Sermon series –Sept. 2. World Communion Sunday – 10/7 with a

SUNDAY SCHOOL

“aged out” of Sunday School, we will not

be holding Sunday School classes this

year. Instead the children are

encouraged to be involved in worship by

ushering or by being a liturgist, and in

church life by volunteering at church

dinners, etc.

PROPERTY COMMITTEE REPORT

The Property Committee reports that this

summer the floor in Loomis Hall has been

cleaned, waxed and buffed, the lift was

inspected, and the parsonage north porch

roof has been replaced. Doug Sheely has

completed work on both the stairs into the

parsonage. Both of the parsonage chimneys

will be repointed later on in the fall.

Additionally, several sheets of Lexan will be

installed in the near future over the priceless

stained glass windows, replacing the old

plexiglass.

This summer our insurance carrier sent an

inspector to evaluate our “insurability”. He

was very complimentary about the condition

of the building. The committee thanks the

consistory and the congregation for being so

supportive of all the recent projects which

were undertaken. They especially are

grateful to Mr. P. Richard Bauer, whose

generous bequest to the church made

possible all the updates and improvements

that have been done. The next meeting will be Sept. 10 at 7pm

NO FALL GARAGE SALE

We will not be having our Fall Garage Sale

this year on the weekend of the town wide

sale. (9/15) If you had planned on donating

your “treasures” to the church, we have a

solution for you! Notre Dame –Visitation will

be having a sale on Sept. 15 and will take

donations in their garage (no clothing or

electronics!!!) beginning in late July.

However, we will be having our Annual

December Holiday Sale (12/1) and will gladly

be accepting donations of holiday items

later in the fall.

HELP FOR THE GIVING CIRCLE

A few weeks ago we learned about the

urgent need of The Giving Circle for $75,000

in funds to address a situation in Uganda

where, in 2009,they had started an

orphanage (the Koi Koi House) for children.

They recently learned it will be shut down for

political reasons by the government, along

with other orphanages in the country. There

are currently about 20 children who call the

Koi Koi House “home.”

The Giving Circle also runs Busoga School on

land it owns. If they can build a boarding

house addition onto the school, it will

provide a safe and loving environment for

the children who have lived in the

orphanage – and for others who will come.

Currently, boarding schools are acceptable

to the government.

We are happy to report that, as of the end

of August, The Giving Circle has collected

$63,000 in just a short time. They are still

$12,000 short of their goal. The Deacons of

Old Saratoga voted to give $1000 to the

boarding school project from our Bottle and

Can Mission Fund, which has already been

gratefully received by The Giving Circle.

If you, the members and friends of Old

Saratoga, would like to make a personal

donation toward this urgent and worthy

project to help the children, you can do so

through the church. Checks can be made

to OSRC, earmarked “The Giving Circle.” We

will be collecting donations through the

month of September. Our treasurer, Chris

Garney, will send to total donation in early

October.

Thank you for all your help and prayers for

the compassionate work of The Giving

Circle. For more information, go to their

website.

501 ( c ) 3 not for profit organization run by

volunteers and co-founded by Mark and

Kelly Bertrand of Schuylerville, NY.
