From Dr. Lytch
In Matthew 10, Jesus affirms that the two greatest
commandments are to love God and to love our
neighbor. He then tells the parable of the Good
Samaritan to illustrate what it means to love our
neighbor. Obviously, the love Jesus commends to us in
the parable is not the same love we celebrate on
Valentine’s Day. The Good Samaritan did not make a
long-term commitment to the wounded traveler whom
he helped. He did not enter into a relationship of mutual emotional and
spiritual support. The Samaritan responded to human need, provided
care, and as far as we know, went on with his life.
Romantic love that we celebrate on Valentine’s Day is exclusively
focused on one other person, and we can only be close friends with a
limited number of people. Lovers, family members and friends put
legitimate demands on us that limit our ability to care for others with the
same intensity we care for them. We are not capable of deep emotional
attachments to everyone we encounter, and it would not be appropriate
for others to have the same kind of love for my loved ones that I have for
them.
The kind of Christian love and fellowship that Jesus calls us to show to
all people is not based on the kind of natural attraction we have for
friends and loved ones. In fact, the expectation of close friendship from
fellow church members often leads to deep disappointment in those who
expect every member of their congregation to be a close friend. Many
congregations with a large membership require or strongly encourage
members to join small groups where they can nurture deeper friendships
without the expectation that they have a close relationship with everyone
in the church.
Nevertheless, the love we celebrate on Valentine’s Day can help us grow
in the kind of love that Jesus tells us to have for our neighbors. As we
grow in our love for friends, family and spouse, our hearts are opened to
others. We grow in our understanding of how God loves them. Secure in
the love of those to whom we have committed ourselves, we are free to
serve others whom God loves. We serve in the name of Jesus whose self
-giving love is a model for us.
Yours in Christ,

Ash Wednesday Communion Service
Wednesday, February 18
7:00 p.m. – Sanctuary
The Ash Wednesday communion service is a time to meditate on our
mortality and sinfulness, to renew our commitment to daily repentance,
and to remember with confidence and gratitude that Christ has conquered sin and death.
Lenten Communion Services
Each Wednesday, February 25 - March 25
12:00 Noon – Chapel
These weekly communion services are a chance to reflect and meditate
on the Lectionary gospel texts for Lent. Each service will have a time
of confession, scripture reading, time to meditate on God’s word, and
communion. Join us as we walk together on this Lenten journey.
House of Prayer
2015 Lenten Prayer Booklet for FPC
Don't forget to pick up your copy of the 2015 Lenten
Prayer Booklet for FPC. This year's Booklet
contains prayers written BY members of our church
FOR members and groups of our church. The
booklets will be available at the back of the
Sanctuary and in the Gathering Place beginning
Sunday, February 15.
God works through the prayers of His people.

Caring Company Update
At the time I last sat down to compose my thoughts in December, we were on
the verge of administering the 2014 Christmas Giving Tree. During this time,
approximately 120 families with over 280 children had the opportunity to fellowship with members of FPC. After sharing light refreshments, parents received gifts for their children and children picked out gifts for their parent(s).
Finally, each family received a gift bag of food before they left the building, to
ensure that they would have something with which to prepare a holiday meal.
I want to thank each and every one of you that participated in the Giving Tree.
It’s always a special occasion when members of the church reach out to members of the immediate community (and beyond).
One thing I did want to convey in this message was the ongoing efforts of
church members to grow and improve the Caring Company food pantry (now
officially known as the Ruth Kammer Food Pantry). Late in 2013, I purchased
a high capacity scale to help weigh any and all donations received from the
church and from other sources (e.g., the annual US Postal Service food drive).
I have used that scale to good effect, as it has allowed us to measure and track
the amount of food that we order from the Central PA Food Bank, as well as
the food that comes in from donations.
For the early months of 2014, we were ordering approximately 2,000 pounds/
month from the Food Bank and taking in about 250 pounds/month through
church donations. But recent examination of the data reveals that church donations have substantially increased over the past several months (to about 500
pounds/month). In fact, for the first two weeks of January, we have received
over 450 pounds in donations from the congregation, so I want to thank those
of you that have stepped up to the plate (no pun intended). And just so you
know, for the 2014 calendar year, we ordered over 22,000 pounds of goods
from the Central PA Food Bank, and took in just over 4,000 pounds in donations from the congregation, as well as another 1,900 pounds from the Postal
Carrier’s Food Drive. All told, we received and disbursed more than 28,000
pounds of food to 1,605 families with more than 4,600 family members.
Thanks so much to those of you that have taken it upon yourself to get involved: in 2014, we have added three new church volunteers to the Caring
Company staff and hired two new Caring Company employees. Yes, it’s been
a bit of a roller-coaster ride this past year, but we hope that with additional
manpower (and space) the Caring Company can keep improving upon its service to the community.
Here’s to a great New Year!

the sick, seek justice and reconciliation, honor the poor, love the
forsaken, and tend to God’s creation as they explore the DVD series
“Becoming a Good Samaritan” by Michael Seaton and Ashley
Wiersma. The class meets on the second floor of the Kerr education
building.
Page 6
Women’s Class - 10:00 a.m. Sunday in the Parlor The women’s class is tackling the book of Jeremiah using the DVD series “Jeremiah: Daring to Hope in an
Unstable World” by Melissa Spoestra. Join the women
as they look at the world through the eyes of the prophet Jeremiah and
discover an intentional way to overcome doubt and worry remembering that God is rich in mercy and love and has plans for all of us. The
class meets in the Parlor. Jill Raudensky leads the class.
Women at the Well - 6:00 p.m.
Wednesday in Room 302
Join the Women at the Well class on Wednesday night
as they delve into the book of John. Laura Byrne is
leading the class which meets at 6:00 p.m. on the second floor of the Kerr building. All women are invited!
Session with Session
Join us on February 15 at 10:00 a.m. in Christine Thomas Hall for a
“Session with Session.” This is a time to hear from Session members
and a time to be in dialogue about issues that are important to the
church. No other adult education classes will be held, so everyone can
attend this session with Session. Join us as we seek to keep the communication open!
Godly Play
During the sermon at 11:00 a.m. worship service, the kindergarten- 3rd
graders are invited to come to hear a Bible story and respond to it
through art. This is their “sermon” as they hear God’s story in a contemplative way. After the story is told, questions like these are asked:
What is your favorite part of the story? What do you think is the most
important part of the story? Where are you in the story? These questions help the children to think about the story and respond to it in a
thoughtful way. In February the following stories will be explored:
February 1 ..... The Greatest Commandment
February 8 ..... The Parable of the Two Sons
February 15 ... Transfiguration of Jesus
February 22 ... No Godly Play - Communion

Bible Studies
Men’s Bible Study
The Men’s Bible Study meets in the Library at 6:00
p.m. every Wednesday evening after WFPC dinner.
If you would like to be a part of this group, please
contact Brian Smith at 751-2225 or
[email protected].
PathFinders Bible Study
The Pathfinders meet at 1:00 p.m. on the first and

by N. T. Wright.. Come join us!
Mothers’ Bible Study (Moms)
In January the ladies of Mothers’ Bible Study finished “stumbling”
with Lisa Harper as they completed her study of Stumbling into
Grace. This second half of the study year will find them working on
a new guide, Pursuing God’s Beauty, a study of the Gospel of John
by Margaret Feinburg. So February will be the perfect month for
you and your friends and neighbors to join MBS on Tuesday
mornings 9:15 a.m. till 11:00 for sharing God’s Word, enjoying
fellowship with other faith explorers, and learning how to be women
of God. Childcare will be provided as needed with a call to Heidi
Cavanaugh (717-225-6631) in advance. If no child care is needed,
please just come and join the group. You will receive a warm
welcome – hugs included as desired!
Deacons’ Corner
We are here to serve you, the
congregation. You may not realize that
we offer more than funeral receptions. We prepare the letters of
concern, take flowers to our parishioners, have a medical closet of
equipment for your use, provide transportation, meal train following
illness or hospitalization, and limited financial assistance. We can
pray for you or visit your loved ones, but we can't do this if you
don't let us know. Please call any of the Deacons listed in the
Church Directory.

Stewardship in the Sunday School
All children are encouraged to support our special children in Carmel,
India through their Sunday school offerings. Last year we were only
able to support one child through the offerings. We hope that this year
we will be able to support four children, as we have in prior years, so
that they can have food, clothing, and schooling!

Notes From Finance
During the last quarter of 2014 and the first
quarter of 2015, the Finance Committee has
been going full throttle. Here is a review of what has been going on:
2014 was a tremendous year. We were able to meet all of our expenses
with our income! Joyous moments come to all, but none more than to
Finance at the year end when our bills are covered. Many thanks to the
congregation in helping meet our goal in 2014!
At the end of 2014 a large gift was given to us to the tune of $125,000.
The donor has requested that this money be utilized for outreach
programs. For the past two years First Presbyterian Church has seen
large donations to help us grow. Join us in praising God for his
abundant blessings!
The 2015 budget is in the process of approval. Please consider
attending the Congregational Meeting, February 8, if you would like
more information on the 2015 Budget.
Contribution Statements are scheduled to be mailed before the end of
January. If you have any questions or feel there is an error in your
statement, please contact Alicia O’Rorey at the office or via email at
[email protected].
Don’t forget your Per Capita! This is an expense for First Presbyterian
Church and your contribution towards that helps greatly. You can give
at any time during the year. Please consider paying your per capita this
year. A special note; the per capita has increased by $2 to $31, although
this is not currently the amount on your envelopes. (Printing error)
What is per capita?
Per capita is a set amount of money (apportionment) per member that
congregations pay to the larger Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Because
every Presbyterian shares in the benefit of the PC(USA)’s system of
government, the expenses associated with coordinating and performing
the functions of that system should be shared by everyone as well.
The first-known mention of per capita dates back to 1734 in a letter to
ministers!
Who pays per capita, and how much?
Congregations (through their sessions) pay an annual amount of money
per church member — per capita apportionment — to their respective
presbyteries.
The per capita amount requested from a congregation is a combined
total of requests from that congregation’s presbytery, the synod in
which the presbytery is located, and the General Assembly — based on
their respective budgets for the coming year(s).

A Note of Thanks
To the Deacons and members of FPC,
Thank you so much for visiting our home on two occasions in
order to show support to our family following the birth of our son
Daniel. We deeply appreciate the lovely flowers and all the good
thoughts and prayers you have been sending our way. Daniel is
home now and doing well. He is bringing immense joy to our
home each and every day. We look forward to bringing him to
church sometime soon so we can show him off.
God bless you all!
Much appreciation,
Jennifer, Tom, John, Grace, and Daniel Reilly
Dear Church Family,
What an honor to have the “Ruth Kammer Food Pantry” plaque
hung in the Food Ministry area! Serving on the Mission Committee
for more than 30 years was a privilege and joy. The loving and
caring reception of my 8:00 a.m. service friends was heartwarming.
Following my marriage in June 1946 (officiated by the Rev.
Thomas S. Dickson), I joined FPC in October that year.
Some years later, I was Sunday School department head for 4 year
olds for ten years and then became the third female Elder of the
Session (Christine Thomas and Martha Stebbins preceded me). I
was Clerk of Session for two terms.
Moving on, I served as the first female church school
superintendent with an enrollment of 500 students. For 30 years, I
was involved with communion preparation. I was also involved
with the FPC tutoring program and was the director of the program
at Goode School.
I was a member of the first Stephen Ministry class and was active
until my heart attack in June.
With thanks and gratitude for being part of the life of our church
and the love, caring, and prayers extended to me,
Ruth Kammer

"No one is born brave. But don't let that stop you."
I am Jackie Robinson by Brad Meltzer (Ages 6-10 and adults)
When Jackie was born, his mother named him Jack Roosevelt
Robinson, named for Teddy Roosevelt who worked for equal rights
for black people. Jackie loved sports and played baseball,
basketball, football and track, ending up with the Brooklyn Dodgers
even though he was spit at, tripped, and threatened. His answer was
"I wanted to fight back; but for real change to come, you need to
lead by example." (Ordinary People Change the World series)
Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson (Ages 10-16 and
adults) An amazing autobiography by an outstanding children's
author about growing up black, first in South Carolina and then in
Brooklyn. Even though she struggled with reading in school, this
story is written in verse and is funny and sad and powerful (Winner
of the 2014 National Book Award.)
