Grace & peace my friends, Welcome to Lent. It’s kind of strange to say “welcome” to a season of reflection and repentance. When we hear the word “welcome” we think of times being welcomed into another’s home, or to an event. We don’t often think of a time of repentance and reflection as a time of “welcome.” But this Lenten season, I do want to welcome you to a time where you take time to reflect on your faith and journey, as well as look to see where you need to make some changes in your life and faith.

We are all a broken people, in some form or fashion, looking for ways to be healed… to be fixed. Sometimes this means making changes in our lives. But where… and how? This month is the perfect time to search out that May each one of us welcome, in this season of rehealing, to look for the need to change. flection and change, with open hearts, minds, and eyes so we might better understand the gifts of J. Barrie Shepherd wrote the poem “Looking grace in our midst. for Lent” which recently appeared in the Presbyterian Outlook, a poem I feel, that speaks Blessings, to how a little change might lead to healing our brokenness. This Lent I’m looking for a change no longer giving up but taking on instead the task of noticing whatever has been there unseen from the beginning perceiving all those mysteries monsters too and even the odd miracle which until now escaped my eye caught up in catching up who knows what may be glimpsed between the Lenten rose and Easter’s banks of lilies

perhaps even the footprints of the gardener himself whose waking walking word to us spells seeing is believing.

March Birthdays

Earth Care Matters
By Lucy Beebe Tobias Water. You turn the tap and it comes out. That is all you need to know. Right? Ummm. Take a deep breath. There's more to this liquid than off and on. We drink it, bathe in it, swim in it and expect it to be there. But water is a finite resource. Look at the pictures in newspapers and on TV of lakes in Florida going down, down, down. And here in Marion County there is a big debate whether a cattle rancher should be permitted to draw 13 million gallons of water a day, more than all the water used daily by the City of Ocala. What can we do? Start where it matters - your own home and your church home, Fort King Presbyterian. First, let's tackle water that comes in a plastic bottle. See any plastic bottles of water around you? Did you answer Yes? Ah, bad, very bad. Why? Because less than 14 percent of those water bottles are recycled, the rest end up in landfills. And it is so easy to overbuy bottled water - get a few cases "just in case" for a meeting or event, for tossing in the car, for filling a refrigerator shelf. Instead, commit today to using refillable stainless steel bottles - an investment that keeps on giving dividends. You use less water, less plastic going to the landfill. To learn more, Presbyterians for Earth Care (www.presbyearthcare.org) , an eco-justice network, has a brochure "H20: How to overcome the Bottle Water Habit" - take the Bottle Water Quiz (on the back page), see if you pass or fail. New year, new resolutions - here's one - no more bottled water. Mother Earth thanks you in advance for overcoming the bottled water habit. She is smiling.

CONGREGATIONAL CARE (continued)
To Your Health
chosen by Bonnie Schulze, Health Minister Take Steps to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes The Basics: You can do a lot to lower your chances of getting type 2 diabetes. To prevent or delay getting type 2 diabetes: Watch your weight. Eat healthy. Be active. Control your blood pressure and cholesterol. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the United States. If it’s not controlled, diabetes can cause blindness, nerve damage, kidney disease, and other health problems. It pays to prevent diabetes. Sadly because of obesity in childhood, we are seeing children being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes previously called Type 2 adult onset diabetes What is diabetes? Diabetes is a disease. When you have diabetes, there is too much sugar (called glucose) in your blood. Over time, if it’s not controlled, diabetes can cause serious health problems like heart disease, stroke, and blindness. Diabetes can't be cured, but it can be treated. What is type 2 diabetes? There is more than one type of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes (also called adult onset) is the most common form of diabetes. People who are overweight are more likely to get type 2 diabetes. After a meal, the food you eat turns into glucose. Glucose is carried by your blood to other parts of the body. Your body depends on glucose for energy. When you have diabetes, your body has trouble turning glucose into energy. Instead of being used by your body, the glucose builds up in your blood. The rest of your body is starved for energy. What is pre–diabetes? Pre–diabetes means your blood glucose level is higher than normal. If you have pre–diabetes, you are at risk for serious health problems, like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Am I at risk? You may be at risk for type 2 diabetes if you: Are overweight. Exercise less than 3 times a week. Are over 45 years old. Have high blood pressure or cholesterol. Are African American, Latino, American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian American or Pacific Islander. Have a parent, brother, or sister with diabetes. Check out this list of 50 ways to prevent diabetes (http://www.ndep.nih.gov/publications/OnlineVersion.aspx?NdepId=NDEP-71)

DISCIPLESHIP

Adult Discipleship Ministry
Two new and extraordinary learning opportunities began on February 12 and will continue for some weeks. In response to some requests for “serious Bible study,” the Adult Discipleship Ministry is offering two series of classes that will deepen your understanding of the Bible. One series is entitled “Jesus of Nazareth,” led by “Rabbi Tom” McNeil. The series begins with understanding the “world” in which Jesus lived, covering life under the Greek, Roman, and Judaic cultures. Further information about the series will be found in future issues of the Link. The class will be held in the Session Room, beginning at the usual 9:15 starting time with coffee available. “Rabbi Tom,” as he is affectionately known, decided at the age of 18 to prepare for “ministry” in the Presbyterian Church and began teaching himself Hellenistic Greek. Totally on his own, he worked his way through college and seminary. With a faculty for language, he learned biblical Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac and Coptic. He has a great passion for understanding accurately the histories of both the Jewish and Christian peoples, their interpretation of life and events in their own time. The other series of classes, “An Approach to Studying the Bible,” will be taught by Rhea (Ray) Forman. This class will use the Kerygma resource book, Listening to Scripture: Strategies for Interpreting the Bible by Richard Rohrbaugh. The strategies to be covered are: (1) Exploring the Historical Setting, (2) Discovering the Literary Context and Audience, (3) Identifying Oral and Literary Forms, (4) Analyzing the Structure, and (5) Investigating Words and Phrases. By using these strategies, you will be able to come closer to “…what a text once meant and what it now means.” The classes, beginning at 9:15, will be held in the Education Building. As this class may introduce new material, it will be to a participant’s advantage to have access to the book. While the cost of the book is expensive ($18), it is like a reference book and can be used over and over. Rhea is also a seminary graduate from an innovative program that brought together psychology and theology. He went on to get his PhD in psychology and had an active practice for many years before he ventured out into other avenues of service including university teaching.

Answers: Bottled Water Quiz
(on back page) 1. False. There is often no difference. Little is known about the health risks of water stored in disposable plastic (PET) bottles or the effect of additives over long periods at high temperatures.* 2. False. The US EPA sets more stringent standards for tap water than the FDA does for bottled beverages. Roughly 40% of bottled water is actually tap water.* 3. True. But using a refillable bottle is just as convenient and less expensive. 4. False. According to the Container Recycling Institute, only 14% of PET bottles are recycled. The rest end up in landfills or as litter. Millions of barrels of oil are required each year to produce and transport them. 5. True. The Beverage Marketing Corporation states that Americans spent more than $9 billion on bottled water in 2004 and that the product’s rate of growth was almost 10% per year for the previous 10 years. 6. True. The UN adopted a resolution in 2003 calling this the “Decade for Water.” The Millennium Development Goals also have an objective to halve the number of people who lack reliable and safe drinking water by 2015. 7. True. Often selling for up to $2.50 a liter (which translates to $10 a gallon), bottled water is more expensive than gasoline. 8. False. The UN estimates that if the world took half of what it now spends on bottled water ($100 billion per year) and invested it in water infrastructure and treatment, everyone in the world could have access to clean drinking water. * In emergency and special health circumstances, bottled water may be the only safe water available.

Usher and Greeter Ministry
We are thankful for our resident greeters, Sherry Pritchett & Charles Vowinkel, but they would like some help. Rebecca Bishop has agreed to coordinate ushers/greeters this year and she is needing you to volunteer to help in this very important ministry of the church. We need volunteers to greet and welcome people with a smile, kind word and a bulletin from 10:00am until 10:40am. These greeters/ ushers will also assist in the collection of the morning offering. Being a greeter/ usher is an extremely important ministry of the church as you are the first line of welcome and witness to the love of God that people experience on Sunday morning. If you are interested in this wonderful ministry please contact Rebecca Bishop by email at [email protected] She would love to hear from you about volunteering, and ideas to make this ministry stronger. There is also a signup sheet in the Narthex for those interested in volunteering and for those available to assist at the last minute.

WORSHIP (continued)
Something to Think About Exodus 20:1-17
In the 1980’s, Nancy Reagan’s slogan, “Just say ‘no’” to drugs, was thought, by some, to be superficial. Perhaps. But here’s something to think about: The research of Ben Libet in 1999, following earlier German research, discovered that the brain initiates movement 550 milliseconds before physical activity; 100 milliseconds before physical activation, a person becomes “aware” of the brain’s intentions to the degree that s/he has the power to decide to do or not to do that action. “I” have veto-power over brain-initiated actions, such as reaching for a second helping of that seven-layered chocolate fudge cake, kill my neighbor, or worshipping the gods of money and/or success-prosperity. “Free will” is now an outmoded idea; neuroscientists prefer to say, based on research data, that we have the power of “free-won’t”: I can decide not to do X-act, not only to avoid the consequences of my brain-initiated behavior, but to re-direct and re-orient the kind of person I am and want to become. (Jeffrey M. Schwartz, MD, and Sharon Begley 2002 The Mind and the Brain: Neuroplasticity and the Power of Mental Force 303-310; Michael Gazzaniga Ph.D. 2005 The Ethical Brain 87-102). Now let’s use this perspective to help us sharpen our understanding of the Ten Command-ments (Exodus 20:217); note carefully the wording which in Hebrew begins with lo = “no”: no other gods in my face = before me no graven image no take the name of YAHWEH in vain (i.e. magically for my self-interest) remember- Sabbath honorFather and Mother no you shall kill no you shall commit adultery no you shall steal no you shall bear false witness no you shall covet your neighbor The Commandments are free-won’t in action: What the societies and cultures around me, and in which I live, do, I choose not to do (have false gods, kill, etc.). What the societies and cultures around me, and in which I live, do not do, I choose to do (Remember and Honor). This means that I can choose to be a person that does not fit the image of the society and culture in which I live. And what does this mean for us at FKPC? It requires us, as followers of Jesus of Nazareth, to be critically aware of not only our own personal behaviors and attitudes, but also of just how comfortable we are in this society and culture; critically aware of both the seductions of our culture to go with the flow and of the creative work we must do to make our society more humane. Whose imago/Image do we reflect in our lives and relationships: that of Caesar (the man or culture) or of God? See Mark 12:17. The ten words (See Exodus 20:1, 34:28) as free-won’t are as applicable to us today as they were when Moses gave them. A choice stands before us – one which we must make: to put free-won’t into action in our lives is our critical task in the Church today, in order to be authentic followers of Jesus of Nazareth.

WORSHIP (continued)
Psalm 19 We frequently hear the opening words of Psalm 19 recited: “The heavens are telling (Hebrew: “make known”/”declare”) the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims His handiwork.” Or, the closing words of the Psalm: “Let the words of my mouth and The meditation of my heart Be acceptable in your sight. O Lord, my rock and my redeemer” (v. 14). We seldom hear what’s in between these words. Welcome to the Psalm 19, the “ham in the sandwich.” “Creation” (verses 1-6) and “Torah” (verses 7-13) are the two foci of Psalm 19, that is, “creation” and “Torah” enable a person to concentrate one’s meditations on/about God. They serve as mediators to approach God in prayer, and as such the prayer is “objective, distant, and meditative” (E. Gerstenberger Psalm I, 101), which means this: “God” is not present to the worshipper! By focusing on creation and Torah, I believe I can somehow focus my mind and heart on God to make some sort of contact with God, to make God pay attention to me! And, in the process, I can garner “rewards” (v. 11), avoid “presumptuous sins” in order to “be blameless and innocent of great transgression” (v. 13). In other words, my meditations on creation and Torah, which serve as mediators in my approach to God in prayer, are all about the benefits I may receive. The Psalm, therefore, reveals the “religious world” of Torah-oriented synagogue worship (+/- 350 BCE), in which contact with God by the worshipper is uppermost, which is why the prayer ends the way it does in verse 14. However, while this may be the concern of religious worship, it is a “universe” away from what Jesus of Nazareth said: “The kingdom of God (God’s presence) is in your midst” – Now! (Luke 17:21f) – And, if Jesus is right, how do we “worship” God now? Shalom, Tom

Choir Notes
The choir would like to say a big thank you to Nancy Copeland for volunteering to lead us through the end of March. Our choir is growing again, but there's still room for more 'cause all God's creatures got a place in the choir! Come sing with us on Wednesday nights at 7:00 PM.

Taking Time for the Journey
We enter into Lent in gratitude for God’s graciousness. We are in awe of the beauty of this sacred space with which God has gifted us. At the same time, we come in grief; with deep sorrow for the losses which Creation has borne. This Lenten season we invite you to join us as we reflect on these feelings through an online Lenten Devotional. With this online Lenten Devotional, we invite you to enter into Lent with us… seeking… reflecting… pondering… “Feasting and Fasting.” Each devotional will contain scripture, prayer and reflection. There is a reading for each holy day and one for each week of Lent. Please join us as we read and journey together. Online link: http://presbyearthcare.org/docs/2012PECLentenDevotional.pdf
