CELEBRATION
SUNDAY: CAMPAIGN
Our Capital Campaign,
Blessed to Serve, results
will be announced in all
three worship services
this Sunday.
At 7:51 a.m., on January 12, 2007, a young musician took his position against
a wall in a Washington D.C. metro station. He wore jeans, a long sleeve t-shirt
and a Washington Nationals baseball cap. He opened a violin case, removed
the instrument, threw a few dollars and pocket change into the case as seed
money, and began to play.
For the next forty-five minutes he performed six classical pieces. During that time 1,097
people passed by. They tossed in money totaling $32.17. Of the 1,097 people, seven—only
seven—paused longer than sixty seconds. And of the seven, one—only one—recognized
the violinist, Joshua Bell.
Three days prior to this metro appearance staged by the Washington Post,
Bell filled Boston’s Symphony Hall, where just a fairly good ticket went for $100 a seat.
Joshua Bell’s talents can command $1,000 a minute. That day in the subway station, he
barely earned enough to buy a cheap pair of shoes.
You can’t fault the instrument; he played a Stradivarius worth $3.5 million. You
can’t fault the music. Bell successfully played a piece from Johann Sebastian Bach that
Bell called “one of the greatest achievements of any man in history.”
But scarcely anyone noticed. No one expected majesty in such a context. This was
Washington’s work force, government workers mainly, on their way to budget meetings
and management sessions. Who had time to notice beauty in the midst of busyness?
Most did not.
Most of us will someday realize that we didn’t either. From the perspective of
heaven, we will look back on these days—these busy, cluttered days and realize that was
Jesus playing the violin. That was Jesus wearing ragged clothes. That was Jesus in the
orphanage—in the prison—in the cardboard shanty. The person needing my help was
none other than Jesus.
There are many reasons to help people in need. Benevolence is good for the
world. We all float on the same ocean. When the tide rises, it benefits everyone. To
release someone from poverty is to unleash that person’s potential. As we reduce poverty
and disease, we reduce war and atrocities. Healthy, happy people don’t hurt other people.
But for the Christian, none is higher than this: when we love those in need, we
are loving Jesus. “Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these, you did it to me.”
When we love them, we love Him.
On Sunday morning we will announce the results of our capital campaign.
Twenty-five percent of what we raise will go to the Family Shelter. In that way we are
loving Jesus. That is significant. See you Sunday!

Celebrating our High School Graduates
On Sunday, May 12, we recognized and celebrated the upcoming graduation of our high

This was a special day in the lives of these youth and in the life of our church family. As these students look

We encourage them to broaden their minds and experiences, and yet, to remain faithful to their path of Christian
discipleship.
