Our Mission: Love God, Love & Serve Others, Make Disciples of Jesus Christ

From the Pastor’s Desk
Radical Hospitality is called for to continue moving forward in reaching out,
inviting, and welcoming new people. Radical refers to going beyond expectation and
even going beyond our comfort zone and hospitality means focusing on someone else
in order to welcome and treat them with the love of Christ.
We learn from Genesis that hospitality means being prepared as Abraham was
to receive and welcome the stranger and to do so by treating them as an honored guest.
Radical hospitality calls us to set a high standard of excellence in all we do and it calls us to do whatever it
takes to invite, welcome, and include others in God’s family. The Bible tells a story about God’s invitation
into His kingdom and love for all. This love of God is shown most powerfully through the radical
hospitality of Jesus, God in the flesh.
Jesus makes clear in the Scriptures that we who follow Him are to be like Him. This means that the
church must practice radical hospitality too. In Romans 15, Paul addresses the issue of hospitality,
particularly as it relates to the inclusion of those who come with different backgrounds and practices. He
writes, “Welcome one another, just as Christ has welcomed you.” Jesus’ example of hospitality calls for a
constant invitational posture that we carry with us into our world of work and leisure and to our practice of
neighborliness and community service. Hospitality is not simply something we do; it is an attitude. It
needs to be part of our culture as a church.”
There are many powerful ministries and life giving things going on at Christ Church. How will
those who are strangers experience these things unless someone invites them? Radical hospitality involves
extending the invitation and it involves welcome when our invitations are accepted or when someone new
comes to Christ Church.
I am glad to say that I have heard from others that this congregation is friendly, but I also know that
being a friendly place and being a place that helps people make friends are two different things. Hospitality
means making the effort to include people. This is more than just saying “hi,” it means getting to know
them and finding ways to connect them to the body of Christ. The ministry of welcome belongs to us all.
What could happen if we lived out the hospitality of Jesus every day of our lives? What could
happen if radical hospitality became a high value in our church’s culture? What would it mean if we were
to welcome the stranger, the outcast, the lost, in the ways Jesus did? What would it mean for us to
understand that it’s about the people we are called to be and the people we are called to serve. What if we
fully embraced that it’s about making disciples, that it’s about transforming lives, and that it’s about
building God’s kingdom in this community.
Remember, Jesus has made a place for you and a place for me and He’s asking us to make a place
for others in the kingdom as well. God is doing good stuff in this congregation and through our radical
hospitality many more can join us in experiencing it. I look forward to how focusing on this practice will
enhance our ministry with one another and with those we do not yet know. Have a great May.
God Bless, Pastor George Kafer

In April we were able to launch
3 adult growth groups for the
spring utilizing DVD and
streaming resources purchased
by the church for adult
education. These groups
facilitate fellowship and study
that helps us connect people in
the faith community and grow
individuals in their faith
journey. Each group has new
people in them along with
those who have been part of
previous groups at the church.
Thank you to those who
offer financial support for
vital, life changing ministry.

Eye on Evangelism
Here’s a thought relating to evangelism, our call to share the faith and invite others to God’s family.
YOUR FAITH AND YOUR WITNESS
The single most important factor in your ability to witness for Christ is your own
personal faith. A genuine faith is often shared successfully even when the sharing seems
awkward. Transparent Christian faith is so powerful in its appeal that it is selfcommending. A second vital factor in faith sharing is a passionate and deep caring for
others. Unless you genuinely care about whether or not your friend is brought closer to
Christ, you probably will not be motivated to give your witness. That passion emerges out
of your relationship with God and with your friend.
-Harold K. Bates in “Witness for Christ”
A Stewardship Message
Give Willingly. “…all that is mine is yours.” Luke 15:31b
I often hear, “We can’t wait for our tax refund to come back!” And I want to ask, “What will you
do with it when you receive it?” One blogger on the internet asked others: “If and when you receive a
tax refund do you plan to a) spend it; b) save it; or c) pay an existing debt?” The first person to reply
said, “Maybe we’ll create a 4th option. Gift it.” Would you consider giving all or a portion of your tax
refund this year as a charitable gift? By providing additional charitable gifts to our churches, our camps,
and our United Methodist mission projects throughout the state, you know these dollars will be put to
good use. Imagine if the average person in our congregations received a $600 refund. If everyone tithed
their refund, we could expect our churches to receive $60 per member. For every 50 members, we might
expect to receive an additional $3000 this year for mission and ministry. In some churches, that would
be an additional monthly apportionment payment! One church I talked with recently indicated that their
snow plowing bills alone were $1000/month this year. We want and need our church parking lots to be
as clear of snow and ice as possible so we can enter safely to worship and grow in our faith. Imagine
what an extra $3,000 would do to help this congregation meet their goals. What ministries could your
congregation enhance or begin with an additional $3,000 or more this year? For every 50 members who
might give 50%, or $300 of their $600 refund to the ministry of Christ and the church, we would
anticipate an additional $15,000 for mission and ministry! In the parable of the lost son, we have two
sons and their father who struggle with a stewardship challenge. The father says to the
younger son, “all that is mine is yours.” God tells us the same thing. Will we use God’s gifts wisely?

Apportionment Giving
Christ Church has a history of 100%
apportionment giving, allowing us to
help transform lives by God’s love.
Apportionments provide for ministries
that directly help over 50,000 people in
Wisconsin and many more beyond. In
2014 our apportionment was $50,483, if
we each give faithfully to the general
fund and if able a special gift for
apportionments, $125 a year per
member, we can continue to support
connectional ministries and free up
more of our general funds to increase
outreach and ministry in our local area.
Stewardship Makes a Difference!
Thank you for all the ways you support
ministry. This newsletter has examples
of how our church is making a
difference in people’s lives through
your giving! It is good to see people
trusting in God and answering His
call to give. People are offering
themselves to serve and their financial
giving (several tithing 10% of income,
or working toward tithing)! Check the
connection table for Electronic Fund
Transfer forms and ways to give of your
time and talent as well. As you respond
to God’s call in the giving of your time,
talent, and resources remember if you
have a need contact Pastor George.
MARRIAGE BUILDERS…
Made to Need Each Other
Passage for the Day: 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17
Men often avoid situations in which they don’t feel competent. A
man may be sure of himself in his work but unsure of his skills in
deeply personal relationships. If he feels unsure, he will often
compensate by coming on even stronger. I remember a time in our
marriage when a one-hour trip took three hours. I insisted that I
knew exactly where I was going. If Karen would suggest that we
ask for directions, I would suggest that she keep knitting. Finally,
when I realized it was not a sign of weakness to admit need, Karen
and I came up with a mutually satisfying plan: I pilot, Karen
navigates. I have the wheel, Karen has the map. We have both
become very good at what we do, and we get places much faster.
Karen and I are made to need each other. No wonder we get lost if
we get crowded out of each other’s life. Author: Ron Hutchcraft

The question is never whether or not you
communicate, the question is, "How well do you
communicate with those whom you love the
most?" Strong families are not perfect and without
conflict, but they are families who understand how
to communicate effectively. Often, spouses and
families with poor communication are unsure what
they can do to change, but that's where our new
feature kit comes in. Over the next two months,
you are invited to accept the challenge to better
understand good communication and take next steps
towards building a stronger healthier family. Please
visit the Faith@Home center to pick up your very
own Communication@Home kit that will help get
you started.

youth of Christ
Church grades 6-12
participated in a 30hour food fast to help
raise awareness for
world hunger. It was
an incredible
experience and the
students and leaders grew closer to one
another and to God. Now that we have
experienced and learned about hunger, we
want to support the effort to end world
hunger. Over the next 4 weeks, we will be
pursuing our goal to raise $5,000 in order to
provide food, medicine, and education to
nearly 12 kids for a whole year. Since 1998,
Christ Church youth have raised a total of
$35,800 for this important ministry. We
hope that you will participate again with us
this year in your giving! ~ The youth of
