Across the Pastor’s Desk: Excited About Lent
Lent is a season of introspection. We search out
Jesus Christ before our own hearts and minds, and we
search out our own heats and minds---our own lives,
before Jesus Christ. Perhaps you have heard the story
of a young man at the art museum showing off for
his best girl, telling her how little regard he had for a
certain painting. Seeing that a guard was listening,
the young man said, “Well, what do you think?” The
guard responded, “Sir, that painting has been judged
by the ages, and called a masterpiece. We do not
judge it, as much as it judges us.”
Jesus Christ is the Master who judges us, albeit with
kindness and grace.
We begin preparations for our Lenten Journey on
Sunday, February 15th with the distribution a Lenten
guide entitled, “Jesus the Good Shepherd.” It features
47 readings, each one written by a member of our
congregation.
We enter Lent proper on Ash Wednesday, February
18th, with the Holy Communion offered at 6:007:00 a.m. and at 5:00-6:00 p.m. Drop by the church
sanctuary. Take time for prayer. Communion will be
served every ten minutes. We will also celebrate the
Holy Communion on Sunday, February 22nd.
Our Lenten Journey continues on four Sundays
in March: 1, 8, 15 and 22. We will gather in the
Fellowship Hall at 4:30 p.m. for a presentation by
three guest speakers, and the pastor. A meal will
follow at 5:45 p.m. for those who desire it.
On March 1st, Chaplain Rodney Stilwell of the
Forsyth Jail and Prison Ministry will speak us about
“Transforming the Heart.” Each time Rodney visits a
small group, he creates excitement and good will; we
thought it was time for the whole church to have an
opportunity to meet him.
On March 8th, the Rev. Dr. C. Daniel Crews and the
Rev. Dr. Nola Knouse will talk about “Transforming
our Work and World.” If you have not heard Dan
and Nola, come find out why their presentations are
always well attended and appreciated.
On March 15th, the Rt. Rev. Sam Gray will be
present to talk about “Transforming within Christian
Community.” As a Bishop of the Unity, and in his
work with Moravian Missions, Sam has become our
foremost observer of Christian communities around
the world, Moravian and non-Moravian.
On March 22nd I will be talking about “Transforming
the Soul in the Stages of Life.” There will be some
points of interest for people in every stage of life, and
it will give me a chance to work with tools I have not
used before. The Rev. Joel Long has been coaching
me in using new technologies, and I think he is
reaching me.
Palm Sunday is March 29th, Come sing “The
Hosanna!” Holy Week Readings are scheduled for
Monday, March 30th and Tuesday, March 31st. We
will continue Holy Week Readings on Thursday,
April 2nd , and also celebrate the Maundy Thursday
Communion. Friday April 3rd, we will finish our
readings, and share a Lovefeast. Easter Sunday falls
on April 4th, and will have one Service, at 11:00
a.m., followed by the Graveyard Service. We tried to
reimagine the Graveyard Service in 2014, and it was a
great success. Please check the article, “Recapturing
the Reverence in the Resurrection Service,” online, or
read it herein (page 2).
I eagerly await this Lenten Season. I believe that the
Master has much to teach us.
Blessings!

Recapturing the Reverence
in the Resurrection Service
Traditionally, the Resurrection Service, which takes
place after Easter Worship in the sanctuary, began
with the pastor reading the Easter Morning Liturgy
from the balcony that overlooks the front entrance
to the Church. At the conclusion of that portion
of the liturgy, the pastor came down, and followed
the band to God’s Acre. All worshipers, including
the choir followed the pastor, and all non-essential
communication was kept to a minimum. A Silent
Procession was the goal.
Of course, that was before we built so many buildings,
and created so many different ways of leaving the
church, and entering the graveyard. Over the years,
the movement to the graveyard lost all form. People
were understandably eager to take up a position near
the graves of their loved ones, and they moved quickly
to do so.
It was still a great service; but many of us felt it was
once even better, more reverent, more moving, a
conscious deliberate act of corporate worship.

if you park in the east lot (on the Preschool/Office
Wing side of the church), or off campus, in one of the
adjacent office parking lots. Otherwise, you may be
asked to sit in your car until the processional passes.
We think this return to a more structured and orderly
Resurrection Service will add immensely to this
wonderful act of corporate worship. We trust it is not
an inconvenience to the congregation; but a blessing,
and we hope that everyone who reads this will
understand and appreciate our effort.
Lenten Devotion Guide in Production
For the third consecutive year, a Devotion Guide is
being produced to accompany our journeys through
the Lenten season. Forty-seven authors representing
both members and friends of the New Philadelphia
congregation have reflected on scripture passages
from the Moravian Daily Text, beginning with Ash
Wednesday on February 18th and ending on Easter
Sunday.
This year we would like to recreate the experience of
years in the not too distant past.
Over 1,000 copies of the Guide are being printed and
will be distributed on Sunday, February 15th. Readers
will be delighted to find that artwork by NPMC
Preschool children is included to enhance the Guide
theme of “The Good Shepherd.’
This year our Ushers will try to channel all worshipers
into this procession to pass through the main entrance
to God’s Acre: Band, Pastor, Choir, and then the
Congregation.
The Lenten Devotion Guide brings a daily focus to
our spiritual lives during this important season and is
also a wonderful way to share our faith with others. It
remains free of charge.
We would like to give the band time to process to
the graveyard, and start playing antiphonaly, and
we would like to have the pastor who is conducting
the service lead everyone except the band through
the Main Gate of God’s Acre. People who have
special needs, especially those in wheel chairs will be
admitted through the other gates, and once the band,
pastor, and choir is in place, the other gates will be
opened to everyone.
We will need extra ushers to accomplish our
goal. If you are willing to help, please contact
Fred Flynt ([email protected]), or Dick Rodden
([email protected]).
So, too, if you attend Easter Worship, and are not
staying for the Resurrection Service, it would help

The Long Line ____________________
Year in Review – 2014
“The Heart Of Managers and Leaders”
As we enter an exciting new year it seems appropriate
to take a last look at our financial picture for 2014.
For much of the year we struggled to some extent
with lower than expected contributions and a bit
of confusion among some people on how our
funds are spent. We completed a number of special
projects and the usual December bump in giving did
not get us back to even but brought us closer than
anyone thought could happen. Our year cannot be
characterized as a great year, financially speaking, but
it was a good year.
The trustees have two sources of funds to manage.
One source is the permanent or designated funds.
These gifts are for specific projects or types of projects.
In 2014, we completed the installation of the sign
that began in the previous year for a final payment
of $13,401. The children’s chapel was completed for
a total of $28,970 which gives our young people an
excellent place of worship. New tables were purchased
for the fellowship hall at a cost of $17,396 replacing
15 year old worn tables. The final item was the
landscaping done at a cost of $41,147 which adds an
element of safety as well as dressing up our campus.
Again, these projects were completed with designated
funding, not general fund resources.
The other source of funding, the general fund, is
the resource the trustees manage for the benefit of
operational expenses of the church. During the
stewardship season you were provided a pie chart
showing how the money is used with the heaviest
portion going to salaries, building needs and our
provincial obligation. Managing these funds becomes
tricky when giving is down. We have been fortunate
over the last few years to manage our funds to a
surplus, but this year we had to dip into that surplus
for $43,419 which was just
over 10% of our savings.
Thank you everyone for your
gifts. May we turn a good year
into a great year in 2015.
Board of Trustees
1st Thursday
of each month
There is profound difference between leaders and
managers. A good manager does things right. A leader does
the right things.
Managing is about efficiency. Leading is about
effectiveness. Managing is about how. Leading
is about what and why. Management is about
systems, controls, procedures, policies, and structure.
Leadership is about trust — about people.
February is heart month!
Take some time (this month) to take to heart the
beauty and the necessity of having both managers and
leaders in the life of a church.
We are blessed to have both!
May Christ fill your heart with love and joy,

Missions and Social Concerns
Happy New Year!
We are excited to share with you that in the year
2014, thanks to your faithfulness in prayer and
financial contributions, we were able to distribute
approximately $52,000.00 to help further God’s
kingdom. We so appreciate YOU and ask for your
continued support.
On February 8 at both first and second services we will
have the young girls in our congregation model some
of the pillowcase dresses we have made. This is an
ongoing project of the Womens Fellowship. In 2014,
they made 100 dresses. The dresses were shipped to
Sierra Leone to Mohammed and Safie Braima. The
Braimas serve the Moravian Church in Sierra Leone
through church planting, leadership development, a
Junior Secondary School with more than 200 students,
a library, community health programs and community
outreach. They have been in the US since Sept. due to
the ebola outbreak in the country, but hope to return
to Sierra Leone in March.
On Sunday, March 1 at 5:00p.m.at Fairview Moravian
Church there will be a special gathering for this couple
before they return to Sierra Leone on March 10. This
will be a time of prayer, sharing by the Braimas and
worship. We invite you to come and participate in this
important event!!
Womens Fellowship will start sewing again on
Saturday, February 21 at 10AM in the Library. We
ask that if you have any cotton material lying around,
please consider donating it to be used for dresses. We
need pillowcases, notions or monetary donations
to buy these items. We invite all women in the
congregation to get involved! This is a fun project
and a great fellowship time for ladies in the
congregation. What a great way to spend the winter
- sewing for young girls who might not otherwise
have a dress!
Our next Missions and Social Concerns meeting
will be Sunday, February 8 at 5PM Banquet Room.
Everyone is welcome to attend!

Bells of Joy
Bells of Joy continues
to play once a month
at either first or second
service from February
to May. We’ll play
February 22, March 22,
April 5 (Easter), May 26
and for the special RCC
music event this spring.
(More details later.)
Bells of Joy will play ”You Raise Me Up,” on
February 22 as part of the 9 a.m. service. Mark
Cartner will be the soloist. Five octaves of handbells
and handchimes will be played for this in-spiring piece.
“You Raise Me Up,” based on a traditional Irish
tune, was composed by Brendan Graham and Rolf
Lovland, an Irish-Norwegian duo, Secret Garden, and
first performed by them as an in-strumental in 2002.
Lyrics were added in 2003, and Josh Groban is one of
the performers who has made the contemporary hymn
memorable. The arrangement by Joel Raney that our
handbell choir is playing has a Celtic flavor.
Meditate on these words from the song as you hear
handbells and chimes play and hear Mark sing. We
hope that you are both inspired and comforted by
God’s power as we share this piece with you.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.
New Philadelphia Preschool will open registration
for the 2015-2016 school year on Tuesday, February
17 for current families and church members. It opens
to the community on Monday, February 23.We are

New Philadelphia Moravian Church - February 2015
Braima Gathering
The gathering will be on Sunday, March 1 at 5PM in
the Fellowship Hall of Fairview Moravian Church in
Winston-Salem. It will be a time of prayer, sharing
and fellowship with Mohamed and Safie Braima
before they return to Sierra Leone on March 10th.
Sierra Leone is a Mission Area of the Southern
Province through a covenant partnership with the
BWM (Board of World Mission) and the Sierra Leone
Mission of Little Church on the Lane.
Rev. Mohamed and Safie Braima serve the Moravian
Church in the Ngehun region of Sierra Leone, through
church planting, leadership development, a Junior
Secondary School (with more than 200 students), a
library, community health programs and community
outreach. Prayers are always needed in support of
these ministries, but especially now as they face the
difficulties of dealing with Ebola.
Please come out and show your support for the
Braimas and for the work that God is doing through
them (and through us!) in Sierra Leone
