Please join us for the kick-off of the 2016-2017 Sunday School year on Sunday, September 11, 2016! Sunday School will begin the morning from 9:00am-9:45am, worship at 10:00am, followed by an Egg Bake Brunch in Pilgrim Hall hosted by the Religious Education Board. Free will donations from the brunch will benefit the Placerville Camp Scholarship Fund. Parents/guardians/grandparents of children and youth Preschool - 12th Grade attending Sunday School, please complete the registration form found in this Communicator and return it to the church office or Michelle Redman so we have the most up to date information for all our kids and you. Molly’s Moment My dad is a two footed driver. Right for gas. Left for brake. When I first learned to drive this caused me a few challenges. I’d sometimes try to push them both at the same time. Not very effective. And pretty bad for the car. I sorted it all out when I learned to drive stick. Manual transmission gives that left foot something to do. Working the clutch taught me the importance of easing onto the gas as well as keeping lefty busy whenever I needed to push the gas or the brake. No more worries about hitting them both at once. This image has been large in my mind as I think about how we operate here at Yankton UCC. We seem to have a tendency to get excited and shout out “STOP!” and “GO!” at the same time. “Hurry up! We’ve got to get this done NOW!” “STOP. Wait. We’ve got to get this perfect first!” Slamming on the brakes while punching the gas. Maybe things would go more smoothly if we eased on the gas as we shifted into first gear. Or released the clutch as we braked in order to downshift into second to make a safe turn. As we enter this new chapter with a capital campaign and building project looming in front of us – we’ll need to practice this balance. The process is moving. Sometimes we can speed up and see a lot of progress. Sometimes we’ll need to slow down, make some decisions or reassess. This is to be expected. There will be a lot of decisions to be made over the next couple of years. Based on past behavior, our challenge as a community will be to minimize the amount of time we are flooring the gas at the same time we are hitting the brakes. We cannot do both at once. We must choose – slow down a bit? Speed up a bit? Take a break at a rest stop along the way? To make it through this long project – we certainly need to shower it in prayer. Pray for God’s peace. For direction. For our leaders. For clarity. For grace. For perseverance. For good decisions. For speaking out or holding our tongues. For balancing the speeding up and slowing down. For best possible outcomes. For faithfulness to our mission. Pray daily. Turn to God for help and sustenance. Transform this project from once of collecting money and putting on a new roof – to a spiritual practice of relying on God. May God bless us and keep us all. Pastor Molly Faith Development Last I wrote, I believe we were just a few days away from heading to National Youth Event. I hope you were able to join us in church this past Sunday when the youth shared some of their NYE experiences in their NYE inspired worship. From my perspective, it was an amazing trip and I believe they came away with faith experiences that will stick with them for years to come. They were surrounded by diversity, messages of hope, love, peace, equality, and how they can each make a difference in the world. They heard from several speakers, many their age, who have made a difference and encouraged them to find their passion including Aidan Thomas Hornaday, Trisha Prabhu, & Hadiqa Bashir. Aidan Thomas Hornaday is a 14-year-old who uses music to make a difference, his mission is to share the necessity and joy of giving. One day at an Atlanta restaurant, he was bored at a grownup dinner so he went out, took his hat off, and began playing his harmonica. His only purpose was to pass the time, but people placed money in his hat as he played. When he was done, he had $80 and he needed to decide what to do with the money. He said, “I had everything I needed, so I have the money away. God put me on a path of purpose.” That was the beginning of AidanCares which he co-founded at at 8. His message to the youth was that “when you give out of who you are, your passion, it’s not a struggle, it’s a lifestyle.” He challenged the youth by asking, why live anything else than what you are meant to be? He had so many more good take-aways such as: always look for life lessons in what you do; anytime you’re not kind it’s a fail – look for ways to give and be kind; live out your passion, live the right thing now so you don’t regret later; take care of the least of these; and BELIEVE that you are enough and what you do matters. Trisha Prabhu is a 16-year-old from Chicago who decided to tackle the injustice of cyber bullying at age 13 after reading about the suicide of a girl younger than herself because of cyberbullying. She decided she wanted to be an upstander, not a bystander. She invented ReThink – a technology product to stop cyberbullying. Through research, she found that when adolescents are given the opportunity to ReThink their decision about posting an offensive message, they change their minds 93% of the time and decide not to post offensive messages online. In her study, using ReThink, the overall willingness of the average adolescent to post an offensive message reduced from 71% to 4%. ReThink is an app on Apple and android devices to stop cyber bullying and more information can be found at rethinkwords.com. Her message to the youth was, “You don’t have to wear a lab coat or have Albert Einstein hair to make a difference or find a solution.” Hadiqa Bashir is a 14-year-old from Pakistan who is an advocate for the right to education for young girls, speaks out against child marriages, advocates for minority faith communities in Pakistan and India, and advocates for the LGBTQ community through her organization, Girls United for Human Rights. Her message to the youth was to take responsibility to make it happen. “If you die today, what dreams, abilities, talents, ideas would die with you? Then believe you can make those dreams come alive.” There were Peace Poets, moving music and worship, many speakers and workshops, opportunities to meet and talk with people from all over the country and even the world, and questions to think about and answer: What do you believe? What does community mean to you? How does God work through your uniqueness? What can you imagine? How do we believe? What do you want…really? What is your boldness? And of course there was Disney. The youth have a lot to tell you about their NYE experiences and their Disney experiences, just ask. (I know Beth would love to tell you her churro story!) It was a pleasure to attend with these youth and it was a meaningful, faith-filled, inspiring week for me as an adult as well! We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped in every way to make the mission possible to send the 6 of us to National Youth Event. There were so many ways in which you - our families, church family, and the wider community - supported the effort. Through attending and participating in our many fundraisers: Fall Clean-Up, Super Bowl 70/30 game, Mardi Gras, Corn Hole raffle, Pizza Ranch, Yankee Candle sales, and aluminum can collection. Groups such as the Fellowship Board donating proceeds from the Chili Cook-off, F-Troop donating proceeds from the Fish Fry, and donations from Women’s Fellowship, Two Rivers Association, South Dakota Conference. Individual donations and of course all the ways we were supported by you with time and energy, words of encouragement, genuine interest, and prayers all along the way. We couldn’t have done it without all of these ways you have supported us and we would like to share a bit about our experience in grateful thanks! Owen Phillips: I would like to add on a thank you to every person in this congregation that helped raise money to send us to the National Youth Event. I had an incredibly time with congregations from all across the country. One of the things that hit me most while I was down in Florida was a speaker who talked about some of the conditions on the Native American reservations here in South Dakota. This man works with awful conditions down in Mexico and he said that here in the United States, in South Dakota, the reservations have just as bad, if not worse conditions than that of those in Mexico. This struck close to home. Literally. Now I have a better understanding of just how awful things are here on the reservations in South Dakota. I knew they were bad, but not this bad. Again, I would just like to thank everyone who helped send me to NYE. It was an experience I’ll never forget and it opened my eyes to some of the things back here at home. Thank You! Destiney Fejfar: There were many people and many moments during the NYE trip that really spoke to me. But there was one group in particular that really, really spoke to me, and they are called the “Peace Poets”. Luckily enough, I got the opportunity to get my picture taken with one of the members. I’ve always loved poetry slam, and this group really knew how to use it. Listening to what they had to say, they made me realize that there isn’t any better feeling than being who I am, or any of you being who you are. They put more emphasis on being different and how being so is truly amazing, more than I ever put to thought about. They made me think about how all the differing things in the world come together to make life what it truly is. And to me, life is a blessing. To me, God put us here and put obstacles in our lives so we could rise above these situations, despite our differences, and to serve God to his liking. If you enjoy poetry slam, or even if you don’t, I suggest looking up the Peace Poets and listen to some of their pieces they’ve written. I guarantee you won’t regret it. Thank you! Beth Mulford: One experience that really spoke to me was a workshop that I attended. It was about how people use the Bible against people who are LGBTQ. I was really upset to learn that people use words, meant for inspiration, as weapons. It was, however, interesting to learn about the different ways to interpret the Bible. I [also] learned how amazing poetry is and how powerful words are. During the event, I learned so many things about the world and how much I can do. I found it absolutely amazing how much of a difference one person can make. Thank you! Selena Cayetano: One thing that inspired me at NYE and that I will remember is hearing things that helped me understand things better. We had Peace Poets who told about their pain. They put their own pain into words and expressed it. At NYE, you feel amazing. It’s a great experience. You get to get close to some people you’ve never talked to. You meet new friends from you’re conference and get close. You also get to talk to other people from states and countries. Getting to talk to them is truly a highlight. Worship really helps you to be open. The music is wonderful. Thank you! Simon Carlson: One of the meaningful experiences at NYE for me was communion during the closing worship where we served each other. It was an amazing experience to be served by someone on one side of me and be able to serve someone on the other side of me. Thank you!

WOMEN’S FELLOWSHIP BARN QUILT BLOCK The Women’s Fellowship has made a Quilt Block Board to be displayed during Riverboat Days. The Road to Damascus block was selected. Road to Damascus “As Paul journeyed, he came to Damascus and suddenly there shone around him a light from Heaven and he fell to earth and heard a voice.” Act 9:1-9 Being struck blind, conviction came to Paul as he proceeded to Syria. Do we need such a sudden act before we learn to follow the Lord? This block is known only this one name and is found only in two sources in recent times. It is thought this design came about by someone wanting to add a New Testament block to a Bible Quilt. We feel this block speaks to us today as we follow the thought that “God is Still Speaking.”
This fall we will begin a new care package ministry for college students! In order to be able to send these care packages each semester, we need to know your contact information. Please contact the office before you head out for school this fall with your college address so we can share our love with you, remind you of home, and remind you that God is always with you!

LOCAL MISSION OPPORTUNITIES
THE BIG RED BOOKSHELF - BOOK DRIVE
The Big Red Book Shelf is sponsored by the United Way and Volunteer Services, and they place red bookshelves within the community. Currently there are five sites, one of which is at the Banquet held in our church. The shelves are filled with gently used or new donated books for children birth to 5th grade. The books are cleaned and sorted before going on the bright red shelves. Children are encouraged to take a book home with them to keep and share. What a great way to get involved in the literacy effort!!
WOMEN’S SHELTER
The Mission Board continues to collect items for the Women’s Shelter. You are invited to bring items to share by placing them in the tote labeled Women’s Shelter. Some suggested items that would be helpful include: bottled water, canned fruit, shells and cheese, juice boxes, fruit cups/apple sauce, gallon Ziploc freezer bags, hand soap, bath towels, dishwasher detergent, HE laundry soap, Lysol spray, Clorox wipes, adult women’s size S, M and L sweatshirts and sweatpants, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, and paper towels.
RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE AND BOX TOPS
Please remember to pull your pop tabs from aluminum cans and put them in the Ronald McDonald House on the table in the Narthex of the church. You are also invited to begin clipping Box Tops for Education and put them in the container on the bottom shelf below the Ronald McDonald House. By taking a few minutes to save these items and bring them to the church you are helping many people. These tops and clippings are then turned into cash and put to work helping others.
SOMEONE NEEDS YOU…
If you’re looking for a rewarding volunteer experience, consider becoming a Senior Companion. Senior Companions provide weekly, scheduled visits to other elderly living independently in their homes or apartments who need assistance with transportation, meal planning and preparation, light housekeeping, playing cards, reminiscing or just enjoying the friendship of a peer.
