Decluttering Church Building
The Church
Council has decided to declutter our church building. We have put
some target dates in place.
November 1,
2006 - Committees have the opportunity to look at and straighten
their areas, and identified their storage needs.
November 4,
2006 – 8:00am Church Council and anyone who would
like to join the cleaning detail.
We will put any things we think we
don’t need in an area so our church family can be sure we haven’t
removed something of importance to a committee
for two weeks.
November 18,
2006 - Dump Run - early morning.
Wreath
Making
For the
Snowflake Fair
Place - Cathedral of the

Common Grounds
Coffeehouse
We're very excited to announce that our
church is sponsoring a coffeehouse right here in Rindge! We'll be
bringing live music, featuring local New England area performers. We
will serve our gourmet Fair Trade coffee from Equal Exchange, as well
as some sweet dessert treats. This is something new for our church
and new for the community of Rindge, so we encourage you to support
and publicize this as much as possible.
Here are the details: The coffeehouse
will be open the second Friday of each month. Doors open at 7:30,
and the music starts around 8:00pm. The music will be
traditional, folk, bluegrass, celtic, Americana, blues, and roots,
all performed by talented professional and semi-professional
musicians in the area. There will be a small cover charge and coffee
and desserts will be for sale as well. All proceeds will go to the
musicians and to the support of the Rindge Food Pantry or other local
missions. This is a great way to support local musicians, strengthen
our community, and reach out in love and fellowship.
So what can you do to help? Come and
enjoy the show. Put up some flyers. Tell a friend or neighbor.
Bake a pan of brownies. Call Jim and Cindy Melhorn (899-2268) to
become a part of this.
Bands scheduled so far:
January 12 - April Hobart
www.aprilhobart.com
April lives in Rindge and is an up and
coming songwriter and folk musician. She sings with a clear, soulful
voice, combining old country and bluegrass tunes with a little bit of
the blues, and is able to fill up a room with her sound, even when
appearing as a solo act with just her guitar and vocal chords. Her
new CD, "Time to Travel," was released on April 22nd, 2006.
She describes her style as "Country Blues. Some of the songs
are Bluegrass, a few are pretty folky, there's some Alt-country in
there and some Old-time Country as well. I like to think that I'd
make Jimmie Rodgers or Patsy Cline take notice if they were still
around. They rank high among my influences, along with Bill Monroe,
Gillian Welch, Emmylou Harris, Hank Williams, Alison Krauss, Willie
Nelson, Edie Brickell, Michelle Shocked, to name a few." From
her sonicbids.com electronic press kit.
February 9 - The Marcy Hill Band
www.marcyhill.com
A rock solid mold of some of New
England's finest musicians - The Marcy Hill Band's hard driving sound
stems from their background in bluegrass, classical, rock and jazz.
These seasoned veterans have combined talents to create an
unmistakable sound. With driving instrumentals and tight harmonies,
the band offers traditional and progressive bluegrass with a modern
twist. Members of the band include: Gary Skillings, a native of
Milford Connecticut, now residing in Peterborough, a renowned and
award-winning banjo and guitar player, and Steve Abdu, who has played
bass with Jonathan Edwards and Martin Mull. In the early seventies,
he was a member of one of the most successful Boston bands, London
Records recording artists "Orphan", an opening act for such
bands as the Allman Brothers, The Byrds, BB King, Blood Sweat and
Tears, and Hot Tuna to name a few.
March 9 - The Goodtime Charlies
www.goodtimecharlies.net
This New Hampshire / Massachusetts
based blue grass band, consisting of April Hobart on Guitar and
Banjo, Bill Jubett on Fiddle and Banjo, Bob Sevigny on Guitar, and
Andy Sicard on Mandolin, originally formed two years ago out of the
friendships developed through local jams and festivals. Since coming
together, The GTCs have performed at fundraisers, numerous weddings,
dances, company parties, outdoor festivals, parties, pubs and even at
a grocery store! "This group of Bluegrass players belies
their youth. As their name implies, they provide a goodtime for all
ages. Harmonies are great, pickin' and playin' are tight. Their
exuberance is definitely catching and their performance at the Lakes
Region Conservation Trust's 2nd Annual Afternoon of Bluegrass at
Castle in the Clouds, Moultonborough, NH was outstanding. They'll
definitely be welcomed back next year!" Lisa Anderson, Owner of
Santos Dumont Café.
April 13 - Nate Smith and Friends
http://users.net1plus.com/greystone/nate.html
This show will feature four area
performers and will be hosted by Nate Smith. Nate Smith, from

some time off for family. Nate currently hosts the Boulder
Coffeehouse in Fitchburg and recently released his 2nd CD, Damage
Control. He mixes his own songs with Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen

Tony and Mary Alice D’Ambrosio, Sue Campbell, Pastor Jim, Janet and
Burt Goodrich, Marcie Miller, Cynthia Childs
Following the opening prayer by Pastor
Jim, the minutes of the September meeting and the special meeting of
the congregation were approved as presented.
Treasurer’s Report - See
written report. Committees have done an excellent job limiting
expenditures in response to a deficit budget. Our AG Edwards account
continues to do well, helping to offset our need to tap into the
principal this year.
Collector’s Report - Pledge
cards for next year need to be returned as soon as possible so
preparations for the new budget can begin.
Pastor’s report - 1] Jim has
been busy making numerous visitations. With many of the
administrative tasks that he needed to tend to accomplished, he looks
forward to time for more visitations. Please give him a call if you
would like to schedule a time to chat with him. 2] In response to
the retreat input, council has discussed ways to reach out to the
community without requiring excessive extra work for already busy
volunteers. Pastor Jim has plans well underway for the church to
host a 60’s style coffee house on the second Friday of the month
beginning in January. Doors open at 7 PM and the program is from
8-10PM. There will be a door charge of a few dollars with coffee and
dessert available for purchase. Performers of folk and blue grass
music have been booked for four months, with plans for additional
weeks tentatively scheduled. 3] To further our goals related to
spirituality, after the first of the year there will be a monthly
session scheduled to discuss / study the book “Celebration of
Discipline”.
Committee reports: See written
reports
New Business:
-
The clerk will be responsible for
recording any amendments to the official copy of the Constitution
and By-laws. Changes will be made on the church computer and backed
up on a CD. Now that the procedure for maintaining membership
records by has been clarified, it may be appropriate to have the
by-laws reflect those procedures. Currently there is a duplication
of responsibilities under clerk [p. 8:3G] and membership and
evangelism [p. 17 B]
-
2007 Retreat: There will be a two
day, one night retreat held in the spring with an experienced
retreat leader facilitating the event. Three tentative dates were
chosen: 1st choice – 5/18-19; 2nd choice –
3/23-24; 3rd choice – 2/2-3. More information to
follow.
-
The council discussed a recent
Deaconer article entitled, “Why do Churches Grow?” We focused on
three strengths that relate powerfully to numerical church growth:
a] caring for children and youth, b] participation in church
activities, and c] welcoming new people. The discussion was
guides by six questions
-
Do our worship services meet the
needs and reflect the preferences of three or more generations?
-
Do we have high quality,
inspirational worship services?
-
Do we offer a broad range of
programs and activities mirroring the diverse interests of current
and potential members?
-
Do we assist people who desire a
deeper connection to God and are motivated to grow spiritually?
-
Do our decision-making processes
enable frank discussion of differences while minimizing conflict?
-
Do our members agree on the
central purpose and mission focus of the congregation?
Closing prayer was offered by Burt
Goodrich.
Respectfully submitted,
Janet Goodrich, Clerk

Extras From the Editor and any Articles
The only time that being "close"
counts is with horseshoes, grenades - and friendships.
"Superficiality
is the curse of our age...."
In the twenty years since its
publication, Celebration of Discipline, a book by Richard J. Foster,
has helped over a million seekers discover a richer spiritual life
infused with joy, peace, and a deeper understanding of God. Hailed by
many as the best modern book on Christian spirituality, Celebration
of Discipline explores the "classic Disciplines," or
central spiritual practices, of the Christian faith. Along the way,
Foster shows that it is only by and through these practices that the
true path to spiritual growth can be found.
Pastor Jim will be leading a group of
willing participants on a year-long spiritual journey, using
Celebration of Discipline as a guide book. In a series of monthly
meetings, beginning in January 2007, we will explore Foster's book
and begin to integrate Spiritual practices into our daily lives.
Dividing the Disciplines into three
movements of the Spirit, Foster shows how each of these areas
contribute to a balanced spiritual life. The inward Disciplines of
meditation, prayer, fasting, and study offer avenues of personal
examination and change. The outward Disciplines of simplicity,
solitude, submission, and service help prepare us to make the world a
better place. The corporate Disciplines of confession, worship,
guidance, and celebration bring us nearer to one another and to God.
Each gathering will include a
conversation with Foster, recorded on DVD, as well as discussion,
practical guides to implementing the Disciplines, and time for
fellowship as we grow together spiritually and emotionally.
Foster provides a wealth of examples
demonstrating how these Disciplines can become part of our daily
activities--and how they can help us shed our superficial habits and
"bring the abundance of God into our lives." He offers
crucial new insights on simplicity, demonstrating how the biblical
view of simplicity, properly understood and applied, brings joy and
balance to our inward and outward lives and "sets us free to
enjoy the provision of God as a gift that can be shared with others."
The discussion of celebration, often the most neglected of the
Disciplines, shows its critical importance, for it stands at the
heart of the way to Christ. Celebration of Discipline will help
Christians everywhere to embark on a journey of prayer and spiritual
growth.
We are looking for at least six people
willing to embark on this rewarding journey. We'll be reaching out
to the community as well, advertising this opportunity for spiritual
growth especially to those who might consider themselves 'Spiritual'
without being 'Religious'. This will not be an attempt to convert or
coerce anyone, but will simply be an opportunity to invite and engage
with those who may not be reached by our regular Sunday morning
worship, those people with a spiritual hunger who are wary of
organized religion.
So how do you get started?
1. Let Pastor Jim know you are
interested. You can call or email the church office or speak with
him personally.
2. Buy the book. Celebration of
Discipline by Richard J. Foster is available in most bookstores, or
you can purchase it online through www.Amazon.com (where it is also
available used at a reduced price).
3. Tell a friend or a neighbor, and
invite them to come along. We need a minimum of six people to make
this work, but wouldn't it be a lot much more fun with 16, or 26, or
more?
4. Save the date: Tuesday, January 23,
at 7 pm. We'll start things off, see who's interested, establish a
regular meeting time and place, and begin our journey together. Hope
to see you there!
Some praise and comments about
Celebration of Discipline
Madeleine L'Engle - "If everybody in the country could
read-and heed-this book, what a difference it would make to the
planet."
Brian D. McLaren, author of A New Kind
of Christian - "Foster has challenged us to see
Christian faith. as a life of spiritual transformation."
Lauren Winner, author of Girl Meets God - "Foster has taught me more about
prayer and living faithfully than just about any other living
author."
Dallas Willard, author of The Spirit of
the Disciplines and The Divine Conspiracy - "Celebration of Discipline has
quietly asserted itself in the lives of multitudes around the globe,
and has taken its place as a guide to the uplands of the spiritual
life for the late twentieth century. Everywhere I go I meet those
whose lives have been changed by encountering it. It places us on the
path of life with those who have succeeded in walking with Jesus in
every circumstance and shows us accessible patterns of action through
which interaction with his Kingdom is assured to us. This is the
secret of its power. If you wish to know in your self the reality of
the gracious life of God seen in the Bible, you may find no better
counselor than Richard Foster."
Ronald J. Sider, executive director,
Evangelicals for Social Action - "The best modern book on Christian
spirituality. . . No other book apart from the Bible has been so
helpful to me in the nurturing of my inward journey of prayer and
spiritual growth."
Eugene H. Peterson, author of Leap Over
a Wall - "Like a child exploring the attic
of an old house on a rainy day, discovering a trunk full of treasure
and then calling all his brothers and sisters to share the find,
Richard J. Foster has 'found' the spiritual disciplines that the
modern world stored away and forgot, and has excitedly called us to
celebrate them. For they are, as he shows us, the instruments of joy,
the way into mature Christian spirituality and abundant life."
About the Author
