Pastor’s Tom’s Corner The sign on the lawn of St. Pius school, just down the street from Central Baptist, calls all passersby to Lenten repentance. It is an important call. I drive by that sign a couple of times each day as I come and go from house to office. The Lenten theme of ―choice‖ which we have been following together, is based squarely on the concept of turning from selfobsession to God-obsession – repentance. Again I want to share with you an excerpt from my reading. The following is reprinted from an article by Gordon MacDonald, titled ―Clean Out the Sludge.‖ His biblical text is from Revelation chapters 2 & 3. ―In most of these letters there are pointed accusations or warnings. talk.

This is no positive, encouraging pep

He does not speak in vague generalities, hoping people will read his mind and feel badly about his upset.

No, he says what has to be said.

He goes straight to the heart.

―The other day I took someone I love very dearly to the hospital thinking we had an emergency on our hands. I watched the physicians and nurses run test after test. about what they saw.

Never once did they mince words; they spoke truthfully

While this run to the hospital turned out not to be an emergency, it was comforting to me to

know that these people pulled no punches, did not try to impress or entertain or placate us.

The truth was all

important. ―And so it is important here in these letters. ―The allegations: you’ve forsaken your first love; repent!... you’re going to suffer… you’re tolerating

immorality… you’re fooling with legalism and flirting with Satan’s ways…your deeds are incomplete ; wake up!... you’re neither hot nor cold…you’re blind to reality , to the truth.

―W.E. Sangster wrote a wonderful biography or Alexander Whyte, the Scottish preacher who—preacherwise—was one of the very best of the best in the early 20th century.

He tells about the day when an elder in

Whyte’s church came to report that an American evangelist, holding meetings the night before in another part of the city, had told the crowd that one of Whyte’s closest friends was not a converted man. ―Hearing this, Whyte fairly exploded and stomped about his study as he contemplated this slander of his friend.

Finally, when Whyte had settled down, the elder when on. 'That is not all, Dr. Whyte,' he said.

'The

preacher told the people that you are not a converted man.' ―Perhaps the elder expected Whyte’s reaction to this report to be even worse. But it wasn’t. retreated to his desk, covered his face in his hands and appeared to be weeping. elder, ―Leave me, leave me, my friend. I must examine my heart.‖

Whyte

Then, looking up, he said to the

―I imagine an entire church in need of turn-around acting like Whyte. Instead of louder publicity, or immediate denials, I imagine a church, having head the allegations, becoming quiet before God, hiding its face, examining its heart. Good theology there.‖ (Gordon MacDonald -“Clean Out the Sludge-A theology of turnaround‖ pub. in Leadership, Fall 2005. )

Across The Boards The Board of Deacons WHAT IS PRAYER FOR? The purpose of prayer is for us to get closer to God. When we tell God that we are sorry for our sins, thank him for all He has done, and ask for his help, God begins to change us. He changes our thoughts and desires, and he shows us what he wants us to do. We come to love him more and to see things from his point of view. Also, prayer gives us an opportunity to say, "Your will be done." It is a way for us to work with God to change the world. Think about it this way: God is our Father, He loves us and wants to meet our needs, to teach us how to live, to take care of us, and to utilize us. He wants to be our friend. Prayer asks him to do that in our lives. We pray because it invites our loving Father to work in our lives and in our world. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV) Excerpt from 801 Questions Kids ask about God

Pray, Pray and pray some more! Pray for the search committee and their tasks, pray for the Minister God has planned for us; pray for our community; pray for National and regional leaders; pray for our church and its ministries that God will show us where our individual passions are to be used for his glory; pray about whatever the Holy spirit places in your heart and in your mind (and not necessarily in the aforementioned order). For the Board of Deacons, Kathy Caval

The Board of Trustees Our Church men’s group has completed virtually all of the painting and repair projects in preparation for Easter. As we move forward into spring, landscaping and capitol building projects now must be scrutinized. Among these will be the demolishing of our old garage storage shed, and exactly what to replace it with. Still other projects might be to repair/replace the nine sanctuary windows along with repair and repaving of our driveway and parking lot areas. Your Trustee Board will continue to maintain business as usual as we help guide the Church through these challenging financial and spiritual times. Please keep us and our church family in prayer as we continue on the pathway that the Lord is preparing for us. Yours in Christ, George Champlin

The Board of Missions As I write the April newsletter we are in the middle of the Lenten Season...a time of repentance and soul searching. Next we look forward to Easter and the Good News it brings! At our March meeting the Mission Board gave much consideration as to where the Easter offering should go this year. We chose to go through ABCORI and to designate half of the offering for Haitian Earthquake Relief and half to Chile’s Earthquake Relief Fund . Because we are going through ABCORI, all the money given will go directly for earthquake relief. Thank you for your continuing support. May you have a Blessed Easter and Spring.

Kay Perrone, Chairperson Mission Board

Pastoral Search Committee Report

April 2010

Our committee has continued to gather information and is working on writing our church profile. By the time you read this, I hope we will be finished with that, or nearly finished. Once we have the profile completed, we will be submitting information to ABCORI to be used to do a computer database search for names of pastors that match our priorities. That information includes a list of eight ministry activities that are ourhighest priorities for involvement by the pastor. We were given a list of 31 possible choices. The eight that we choose must also be placed in order of highest to lowest priority. That list and information about what we are able to pay as salary and benefits will be used to find names that are best matches. Once we receive the names and profiles for each match, we will contact those people to ask if they are interested in pursuing our opportunity and wish to receive a copy of our church profile. Those pastors who ask for a profile will be sent one and asked for more detailed information about their backgrounds, beliefs and priorities. When we have received that information back from them, we can finally start to make decisions about who are truly good candidates for CBC. If some good candidates are found, then there will be more contact involving interviews, observations, etc. As you can see, there are many steps to the process and each step has to be taken carefully, thoroughly and done well. Otherwise we might miss that one best person. You will also realize that the process is going to take time. It may even need to be repeated using a wider ranging list of possible candidates. You may also see that the process is set up so the Lord has maximum control over the outcome. We have to be continuously reminding ourselves that He is in control and we should not try to force things to go our way. He has a plan and He knows our needs. We only need to keep our hearts open to His leading. In that regard, the committee is in constant need of your prayers, expressing our belief in His power and His love for us and asking for His continuing guidance. We are always very thankful for your support, patience and prayers. Ron Rodehorst, Search Committee Chairman Adult Class l Sunday, 9:00 AM In the Parlor

CRAZY LOVE Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do’s and don’ts - it’s falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis Chan describes it, you will never be the same, because when you’re wildly in love with someone, it changes everything. This is a 10 week study based on the book by Francis Chan, Crazy Love. Come learn about God’s Crazy Love for us! Meredith Eckel, Leader

In The Spotlight By Nancy Balentine Alyssa Carin Smallridge lives with her mom, Vicki, and her yellowLab/springerspaniel/beagle, Rosie. Daughter of David Smallridge and step-mom Beth, she is big sister to Ethan (4) and Colin (1). At Stonington High her favorite activity has been crew, but an ankle injury has sidelined her for this season. Her team practiced at Mystic Seaport and played mostly private schools like the Pomfret School, crew being an unusual public school sport. She is continuing horseback riding lessons at the Mystic Valley Hunt Club, an activity she started at eight years old. Her favorite school subject is precalculus. A college dean of business encouraged Alyssa to study business in college; he said,"You have ACCOUNTANT written across your forehead." She has also liked her biology class enough to consider future study in that area. At 16, as a junior, she is beginning Evan is the younger son of Alan and Kathy Caval; brother Jason is studying at the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, Arizona. Evan works part-time as a cook on the weekends at Burger King thus keeping his Evan Caval 1997 Honda Accird on the road, his license to drive being very newly acquired in February. His favorite school subject is A.P. American History. While participating in the Johnstown Flood mock trial, he enjoyed the research and the extemporaneous speaking as an expert witness for the defense. He particularly likes to learn about military history, specifically World War II. This and a family history of military service has led

to make important decisions. Alyssa loves travel. She speaks enthusiastically of swimming with dolphins in the Bahamas, visiting Quebec and Montreal, and Colorado. Having visited the Cathedral of the Pines several times, she speaks with real regret of the loss of most of the pines to recent storms. On her "bucket list" is sky diving. Typical of teens she owns a laptop, a cell phone, and an iPOD Touch and thinks of herself as using technology in moderation. She regards some friends as "non-functional", absorbed in their texting. When Alyssa was eleven she initiated Operation Fuzzy Feet at Central Baptist, collecting dozens of pairs of slippers for children at Hasbro Hospital and Connecticut Children's Medical Center, an effort she continued for several years. She is on the scene at Central's worship and its activities. She hopes to work in the recreation department in Stonington this summer. If so, she will represent her family, her school, and her church exceptionally.

to his considering an Army career. To help him decide, he has accepted an opportunity to spend a week at West Point in late May. Currently a junior at Westerly High, Evan has played quarterback for the JV team for two years with a record of 18 wins, 0 losses and 1 tie. This year he saw action in several varsity games. He also throws the javelin and shot put for the track team admitting to a love/hate relationship with the sport. He likes classic rock and enjoyed the a cappella group contests on television. He, too, is technologically savvy, owning a cell phone, an I Pod, and an X BOX. He prefers to communicate face to face, but realizes texting is the easier way. His family's interest in politics and a class in World Affairs prepared Evan for a two week tour of four cities in China last summer. He particularly enjoyed architecture in Beijing,

Alyssa Smallridge

Xi'an, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, remarking that one building looked like a bottle

opener. Competition for heights of buildings and a massive outdoor light and music show impressed him. Evan belongs to the youth group and Mr. Gibson's Sunday School class. He notes that living out Christian values at school is sometimes difficult - mostly being nice to people he doesn't really like. This young man's earnest concern for his country, his honesty, and his philosophical bent made an admirer of me.

Marissa Jacklyn Bertsch is the daughter of Max and Marie Bertsch, sister of Max Jr. (7) and Vanessa (11). She also lives with a Golden Retriever named Riley. A sophomore at Westerly High, she especially enjoys her A.P. United States History class. This year in that class she participated in a mock trial of the Sacco -Vanzetti case. In another mock trial held in the courtroom of the Town Hall she dressed as a man to appear as an expert witness in the proceedings to determine responsibility for the Johnstown flood. Her second favorite class, biology, has prompted thoughts of a career as a veterinarian or marine biologist. Her extracurricular activities include playing on the volleyball team and playing second base on the softball team. As a Student Council representative Marissa helps raise money for activities like proms. Recently a dress-up day brought in $1,000 for local families at Christmas. She is selling beads, some with local themes, for Pandora bracelets, Marissa Bertsch another fundraiser. Marissa's neighborhood has enough small children to keep her busy babysitting. She does dog-walking and has tutored a 3rd grader in math. When she is not in school,playing sports, in church, raising money for school, or earning money for herself, she likes to spend time with friends. She likes computers, has her own phone, and enjoys texting.She regards her parents' skills in technology as not on a par with her generation's (she says with a smile). She is very experienced in working with children in the church nursery, as a crew leader at VBS, and with Truth Trackers. She cites her many Christian friends as helpful in feeling mostly comfortable living out her Christian values in school. Her grandparents, Max and Barbara Bertsch, are fortunate to live near enough to participate in her teen years.

GIVING

GO TO CHURCH Churchgoers are happier than non-churchgoers, but not for the reasons people expect. Our best indication is that it’s not the religion part that makes people happy. It’s the going-tochurch part. It’s the community part. It’s the holding hands and singing. It’s the knowing-folks-who-would-bring-you-soupif-you-got-sick part.

God’s Thoughts The mountains are God’s thoughts piled up. The ocean is God’s thoughts spread out. The flowers are God’s thoughts in bloom. The dew drops are God’s thoughts in pearls. by Sam Jones

A recent study showed that when people were given money to spend, those who spent it on others were happiest. Giving is literally a joy. If you want to feel better about your day, buy the guy in back of you at Starbucks a cup of coffee. Watch the look on his face. That’s a long-lasting hit of happiness for you.

EARTH DAY - April 22 Everyday is Earth Day Everyday is Earth Day, If it's cold or wet or hot Pitch in to save the planet It's the only one we've got.

WHEN JESUS WALKED UPON THE EARTH When Jesus walked upon the earth He never talked with kings; He talked with simple people Of doing friendly things. He never praised the conquerors And all their hero host; He said the very greatest Were those who loved the most. His words were not of mighty deeds; But many times he spoke Of feeding hungry people And cheering lonely folk. I’m glad his words were simple words Just meant for me and you; The things he asked were simple things That you and I can do. Marion Sheldon Brown
