Covenant Highlights
United Covenant Church
Volume 35, Issue 1 November 2014
PASTOR’S CORNER
November is the month that we set aside for
Thanksgiving. One of the things I am thankful for is
our Bible Camp, Lake Beauty. Bible Camp plays a
very significant role in the Christian growth and
discipleship of our young people. That is why as a
church we are very committed at making sure every
child or young person, who wants to go to camp, gets
the opportunity. As I think back to my youth, I was
privileged to attend Lake Beauty. It was there that I
was challenged to commit my life to Christ. Although I
was not at camp when I rededicated my life to Jesus, I
know that my time at Lake Beauty was extremely
significant in that process. I will be eternally grateful.
Sunday, November 9th is being set aside by the
churches in our district as Lake Beauty Kingdom
Investment Sunday. The ministry of Lake Beauty has
been growing over the past several years. Solid Rock, a
one-year discipleship school is in its first year. I can’t
begin to say how excited I am about the quality
discipleship the young people who are attending there
are receiving. Lake Beauty is increasingly in demand
as a retreat and camping center by many different
groups. In short, more and more ministry is happening
at Lake Beauty and as a result more meeting space is
needed.
An addition to the current-dining hall was approved at
Lake Beauty’s recent annual meeting. The building
will cost about $600,000. Our goal is to raise that
money before December 31st of this year. If every
church does its part this is very doable. Pray and
consider what you can give to this important project. It
truly is an investment in the Kingdom of God through
Lake Beauty’s ministry.

A YOUTH MOMENT
As I sit looking out my window, the last of the leaves
are falling from the trees and blowing into a
spectacular sight. There is something very peaceful
about fall and its transition into (dare I say it??) winter.
Though the world appears as if it is dying, we know
that it is really preparing for a season of new life in the
spring. Sometimes life is like that, especially the lives
of our young people. Outwardly, it may feel or look
like certain seasons or experiences are coming to an
end, whether we want them to or not. But the reality –
God’s reality – is that in every transition, in every
change, in every struggle, He is working to bring about
new life. November is also the month of
Thanksgiving! Social Media will soon be filled with 30
days of thankfulness as people recount the blessings
they may have taken for granted the rest of the year.
Today, I am thankful for God’s reality. The reality that
no matter what it may look like outside (be it the
weather or be it life) God is at work; always faithful
and always bringing new life.
CALENDAR SALES: The youth are still selling wall
calendars, pocket and wallet calendars as well as blank
greeting cards. If you are interested in purchasing a
beautiful wall calendar, they are $8 a piece or 2/$15.
This year we are pre-ordering our calendars to cut
down on waste. You can pre-order on the sign up
sheet outside of Heidi’s office. The last day to order is
November 12th. Calendars will arrive before
Thanksgiving and payment is due at time of delivery.
They make great Christmas presents and, as a bonus,
are useful year round  All proceeds will go to the
CHIC account to help send our young people to the
Tri-Annual ECC Youth Conference held in 2015.
COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING SERVICE: Once
again, United Covenant is honored to host the
Community Thanksgiving Service on Wednesday,
November 26th @ 7 p.m. The Youth will be singing a
song as part of our contribution to the overall service.
Please plan to attend this wonderful multidenominational service!
LOOKING AHEAD: The Mighty OAKS Christmas
program will be held on Sunday, December 14th during
our regular worship service. Please make sure to invite
family members to this wonderful event! Our High
School Helpers will also have a role in the program!
December 21st will be an all youth Christmas
celebration during the Education Hour and will also be
the last day of Sunday School until January 11th.
The month of November and December are
intentionally quiet for the youth. I want our young
people to learn the art of stillness, of thankfulness and
of expectation. The next two months bring great
transition to our world as the leaves die away and the
snow begins to fall. Our lives often seem to be in
constant transition as well. But it in all, may we always
remember that no matter what may be happening on
the outside, God is at work, always faithful and always
bringing new life.
Always within His Grace

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
We will once again be participating in Operation
Christmas Child this year. Here are some fun facts
about the shoebox gifts;
1. In 2013-9,985,210 children in 112 countries
received shoebox gifts.
2. Since 1993-113,705,780 shoebox gifts have
been distributed, a number we can hardly
imagine!
3. In the last 4 years over 1.1 million children
have prayed to accept Jesus as their Lord and
Savior through Operation Christmas Child’s
follow up discipleship program!
Your gifts make a difference! Please have your boxes
here by November 16th.
AVA
AVA Domestic Abuse Awareness Event
Sunday, November 2nd
Women’s ministry is standing out in the Northwest
Conference and community to help shed light on the
evils of domestic abuse through the Advocacy for
Victims of Abuse ministry, also known as AVA.

Did you know that 1 in every 4 women will
experience domestic violence in her
lifetime?

30 to 60 percent of perpetrators of intimate
partner violence also abuse children in the
household?

According to the National Coalition Against
Domestic Violence, boys who witness
domestic violence are twice as likely to
abuse their own partners and children when
they become adults
Please join us Sunday, November 2nd at 2 p.m. to hear
from Robin, a courageous woman who will tell her
heart-tugging story of domestic violence, her journey
toward healing… and what we can do to help others in
her difficult circumstance.
In a recent interview Robin said, “because of the
domestic abuse from my abuser, I couldn’t collect the
mail, wasn’t allowed to purchase medication that was
prescribed for me, I had no access to the family funds,
no means of transportation, no computer access or cell
phone, and our home phone was going to soon be
turned off. Domestic violence has affected our family
like a terminal disease…”
Robin wants to tell her story so that it will offer hope…
and help for others. We hope that you will join us Nov.
2nd. Please contact Tami Linden 715-263-3563 or
Cindy Mohrland 715-948-2153 if you have any
questions. Childcare will be available.
NEW!!! MBC MINISTRY!
MBC ministry, which stands for meals, babysitting,
and cleaning, is a new ministry within our church that
provides temporary help to those in need during tough
times. This ministry is in existence for times such as:
the arrival of a new baby; injuries or surgeries;
extended illnesses; welcoming or saying goodbye to a
neighbor; military deployment; condolences; etc.
In Romans 12, it speaks of the "...different gifts,
according to the grace given us...If a man's gift.is
serving, let him serve...if it is encouraging, let him
encourage, if it is contributing to the needs of others,
let him give generously..." We all take our turn in life
when we go through stressful times, and there are
several people in our church family gifted with service
and giving who could use those gifts with purpose,
meeting those realistic needs.
For those of you who feel led to be a part of this
ministry, just contact me. Please specify whether you
would like to be on the list for providing meals,
babysitting, cleaning, or all of the above. I would like
to mention that providing meals could mean a
homemade meal, restaurant take-out food, or even a
gift certificate. Anything is helpful!
*Finally, I know a couple of people with cancer. Life
seems short in our “earthly” eyes, so pray that they,
their family and others close to them will be mindful of
the glory we are to bring to our creator God, redeemer
Savior- in this world and the next.
The tricky part of this ministry is the communication. I
am completely dependent on not only those involved in
this, but also the whole church. I would love to ask for
everyone's help in making this ministry inclusive, so
please don't hesitate to let me know whenever you hear
of someone in need, and I'll make sure to connect with
them.
There were no needy people among the believers in
Acts 4. That is a perfect example of how a community
can be united and bless those around them.

THANK YOU PARENTS!
I came across this blog on Facebook and was
so moved by it I felt it was worth sharing. We
have such an amazing church family with
wonderful programs for our children/youth I
know we echo this woman’s opinion.
Dear Parents With Young Children in Church
You are doing something really, really important. I
know it's not easy. I see you with your arms
overflowing, and I know you came to church
already tired. Parenting is tiring. Really tiring.
I watch you bounce and sway trying to keep the
baby quiet, juggling the infant car seat and the
diaper bag as you find a seat. I see you wince as
your child cries. I see you anxiously pull things out
of your bag of tricks to try to quiet them.
And I see you with your toddler and your
preschooler. I watch you cringe when your little girl
asks an innocent question in a voice that might not
be an inside voice let alone a church whisper. I hear
the exasperation in your voice as you beg your child
to just sit, to be quiet as you feel everyone's eyes on
you. Not everyone is looking, but I know it feels that
way.
I know you're wondering, is this worth it? Why do I
bother? I know you often leave church more
exhausted than fulfilled. But what you are doing is
so important.
When you are here, the church is filled with a joyful
noise. When you are here, the Body of Christ is
more fully present. When you are here, we are
reminded that this worship thing we do isn't about
bible study or personal, quiet contemplation but
coming together to worship as a community where
all are welcome, where we share in the Word and
Sacrament together. When you are here, I have
hope that these pews won't be empty in 10 years
when your kids are old enough to sit quietly and
behave in worship. I know that they are learning
how and why we worship now, before it's too late.
They are learning that worship is important.
I see them learning. In the midst of the cries,
whines, and giggles, in the midst of the crinkling of
pretzel bags and the growing pile of crumbs, I see a
little girl who insists on going two pews up to share
peace with someone she's never met. I hear a little
boy slurping (quite loudly) every last drop of his
communion wine out of the cup, determined not to
miss a drop of Jesus.
I watch a child excitedly color a cross and point to
the one in the front of the sanctuary. I hear the
echoes of "Amens" just a few seconds after the rest
of the community says it together. I watch a boy just
learning to read try to sound out the words in the
worship book or count his way to Hymn 672. Even
on weeks when I can't see my own children learning
because, well, it's one of those mornings, I can see
your children learning.
I know how hard it is to do what you're doing, but I
want you to know it matters. It matters to me. It
matters to my children to not be alone in the pew. It
matters to the congregation to know that families
care about faith, to see young people... and even on
those weeks when you can't see the little moments;
it matters to your children.
It matters that they learn that worship is what we
do as a community of faith that everyone is
welcome, that their worship matters. When we
teach children that their worship matters, we teach
them that they are enough right here and right now
as members of the church community. They don't
need to wait until they can believe, pray or worship
a certain way to be welcome here, and I know
adults who are still looking to be shown that. It
matters that children learn that they are an integral
part of this church, that their prayers, their songs,
and even their badly (or perfectly-timed, depending
on who you ask) cries and whines are a joyful noise
because it means they are present.
I know it's hard, but thank you for what you do
when you bring your children to church. Please
know that your family -- with all of its noise,
struggle, commotion, and joy -- are not simply
tolerated, you are a vital part of the community
gathered in worship.

LEADERSHIP TEAM UPDATE
UCC LEADERSHIP TEAM Update
November 2014
Bond Notes: Art Moore brought us all up to date
regarding the bonds.
*The church has sold $17,000 of 2 year and $17,000 of
3-year bonds, paying 3% interest, to pay for the
renovation in the sanctuary, removal of balcony, a new
sound system, new high definition video camera and
projector, and a lighting control system.
*The two-year bonds will come due in August 2015
and with interest will be $18,035.
*The three-year bonds will come due in August 2016
and with interest will be $18,576.39.
*The Renovation Promissory Notes are in $1,000 and
$5,000 denominations and the church has the right to
pre-pay the bonds and accrued interest.
There are several ways to pay for the bonds: fund
raisers, extend the time of the notes, or use the line of
credit to finish the payment. Fundraisers would be best
way, if possible.
It was decided to use the Harvest Festival monies for
the debt retirement that was incurred from renovations
(sanctuary, sound, lighting, cameras, etc.)
Designated Fund: Designated funds are usually used
for what they were originally intended for. However,
designated funds might not always get used for what
was intended as circumstances and needs change over
time. The amounts that are in designated funds ($800
Library, $1,582 reserve memorial fund, $4,952 in bond
account, $919 memorial funds), which would total
around $8,269. The LT will continue to discuss how
best to use these funds.
MBC Ministry Team: Erin Carlson shared her vision
about the ministry team she would like to organize
“Meals, Babysitting, Cleaning” (MBC). This team
would care for people in our congregation by meeting
some basic needs that may arise from an extended
illnesses, moving, military deployment, loss, new baby,
fire, etc.
Harvest Festival October 26TH: Thank you to
everyone who shared his or her talent with us at the
Harvest Festival! Over $6,000 was raised to pay off
the renovation debt.
Communication Ministry Team: We are in the
process of developing a new logo, website, bulletin
boards, and phone system.
Josh Williamson has worked very hard at developing a
new communication system to identify how best to
communicate information and to get that information
to individuals in a manner that is best for them
(website, email, text, phone call, bulletin board,
newsletter, etc.) Phone System- the LT is looking into
some options other than CLT and will get some
estimates before we okay moving forward on
replacing/updating the phone system.
Lake Beauty Kingdom Investment Sunday November 9th: Pastor attended the LBBC annual
meeting where the needs of the camp were addressed.
There is an addition to the dining hall planned at a
projected cost of around $ 600,000. LBBC asked if
supporting churches would take a special offering for
this. It was expressed that if each member could give $
75, the project could be fully funded. There is a DVD
available for showing at a service.
Spiritual Gifts Fair - November 2nd & 9th: Tables for
specific spiritual gifts will be setup with the LT and
others there to talk to individuals about how they can
use their gifts to serve one another and the community.
New Member Status: Ty and Tammy Linden, and
Cheryl Forshier will be received as new members
November 2nd.

LAKE BEAUTY BIBLE CAMP
Dear LBBC Member Church,
The Theme verse for this past summer was: “Before
the mountains were born or you brought forth the
whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are
God.” Psalm 90:2. Using the theme idea of “Looking
back to the future,” the idea was that in order to
understand the future we need to look back at the
beginning. Why we were created, who created us and
what it is that God has for us to do.
It was an amazing year. We have had a growing year
with a new program being developed and implemented
with Solid Rock. Our one-year discipleship program
brought 11 students, who desire to go deeper in their
walk with Jesus and take time to better discern His
calling in their lives. The year includes a 13-day in
country trip to the Holy Lands, taking the opportunity
to bring the scriptures alive and experience life, as it
would have been where Jesus walked and talked.
This year was about major remodeling. We completely
remodeled the Chapel upstairs and down. Added more
space in the upstairs, but also remodeling the outside
and new windows, doors and better AC. The basement
is now the housing for our summer staff and the dorm
space for Solid Rock. Many have enjoyed it and all are
thankful for the new and improved spaces made
available to them.
We have also been remodeling the program at camp.
This summer our camper attendance was up almost
150 over the previous year, which is now four years of
consecutive growth. We also saw over 85 first time
professions of faith and over 450 re-commitments to
Jesus. These are the ones that we know about and we
know that there is a celebration going on above and
here on earth as well.
It is a privilege to partner with you, our member
churches. As we work together to Proclaim Jesus and
Reflect His Love, the kingdom grows and the truth is
communicated. As we move ahead to this next year we
are excited about the possibility of building our new
meeting space facility south of the current Dining Hall.
This space is greatly needed for our continued growth
and sustainability. We have groups wanting to come
and use the facilities at LBBC however we do not have
the space to offer them for meeting and so they can’t
come. We are planning to raise $600,000.00 and be
able to break ground first thing this spring.
We are asking the churches to hold November 9th,
2014 as “Kingdom Investment Sunday.” We have
produced a 5-minute DVD we are trusting that the
churches will show to help raise the awareness of this
need at the camp.
We thank you for the continued support. We have
recently hit the $1,000,000.00 mark with updates and
improvements that have been made at the camp. These
are from cash gifts and gifts in kind, with that we have
updated almost all of our buildings, improved the
heating, lighting and the utility infrastructure at the
camp. THANK YOU. Because of you we have been
able to do all of these projects with cash in hand. We
have also kept the camp in the black for the past 8
years as we have built.
Totally Consumed by HIS Call,
