Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church

Volume 44, Issue 10 October 2014

From Generation to Generation
One generation shall commend your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts. -Psalm 145:4
When you think about the next generation - children and grandchildren, nieces and
nephews, students and mentees - what is it you hope to pass along? What do you
hope leaves an impression on their hearts and minds? The Apostle Paul, speaking
to the young church of Corinth, answered those questions this way: For I handed
on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for
our sins in accordance with the scriptures,

and that he was buried, and that he was
raised on the third day. For Paul, the person and work of Jesus Christ was the es-
sential piece that informed every other aspect of life.
Is our longing any different today? We are a mere three months
from 2015 - a year in which GCPC celebrates a centennial anni-
versary. What an incredible occasion to give thanks for Gods
faithfulness! Generation after generation has come through this
church and passed along - of first importance - the person and
work of Jesus. We are here today because of Gods abundant
faithfulness through them.
I am mindful, too, that it is a remarkable moment for the church
to hope and pray into what God will do in the next 100 years.
God has called us to awaken a love for Jesus Christ in the heart
of Richmond. How will that take shape in the coming years?
How will we faithfully pass along that which is of first im-
portance? During the month of October, look for various congregants to share in worship about some of
they see God doing in our midst as well as some of their hopes for the coming years.
As we progress through this month, I ask you to consider
prayerfully how you will contribute financially in this land-
mark year for GCPC. As a starting point for your considera-
tion, I invite you to take these words from Scripture seriously:
A tithe of everything belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the
Lord (Leviticus 27:30). While God calls us to give this tithe,
God is faithful in blessing us and molding us through our step
of faith. May you know that blessing in the coming year as
you seek to pass on with your time, talent, and treasure that
which is of first importance.

PEW BIBLE REPLACEMENT

As you are doubtless aware, the pew Bibles have seen better days. Many have torn bindings
and some are missing pages.

As part of Grace Covenants Centennial Observances in 2015, the Worship Committee will be
working to replace the current pew Bibles with new editions, using the New Revised Standard
Version.

The congregation will be given the opportunity to purchase Bibles in memory of or in honor of
family or friends, with bookplates placed in the Bibles.

More specific information as to price per Bible and how to sign up will be made available
shortly.

Annual Mens Oyster Roast

The men of GCPC and their friends are
invited to the annual roast, held at
Pearsons Cabin on the Pamunkey River.

Come and enjoy an autumn day in the
country or watch the football game in the
cabin. Well have cornhole, great food,
and an incredible time of fellowship
together.
See you there!



From the Director of Music
One of my responsibilities as the Dean
of the Richmond Chapter of the Ameri-
can Guild of Organists is to submit an
article to our chapters monthly news-
letter. For our October newsletter, I
chose to write about my experience
with the ladies from CARITAS back in
August. Below is the article, which I
thought I would share with you in
Grace Notes.

Dear Colleagues:

CARITAS is the largest provider of
homeless services in the metro Rich-
mond area. Last monthfor one
weekGrace Covenant Presbyterian
Church (where I am the organist) host-
ed forty homeless women who were a
part of CARITAS. At the end of each day the ladies would return to the church for dinner. Following dinner
our missions committee had arranged special activities and programs for the ladies.

One of our church members approached me prior to the event and asked if I would be willing to give a demon-
stration on the churchs Schantz organ as one of the programs. At first I was a bit hesitant to agree to lead a
program, because I assumed there would be little-to-no interest by the ladies. I was wrong, VERY wrong!

For my program I invited the ladies to sit in the chancel where the choir sings on Sunday mornings. It became
immediately obvious by their body language that they were eager to hear what our mighty pipe organ was ca-
pable of doing. Before I played the first notes, the questions came at me quicker than I could answer: What
are the pipes made from? What is the size of the largest/smallest pipe? How does the sound get from the
console to the pipes? Why does this organ have four keyboards? Why does the organ have pedals?

I decided to open the program with a thrilling French toccata. Two measures into the piece: laughter, joy, ex-
citement, amazement, tears, clapping. These outward expressions of emotion occurred throughout the entire
toccata. Next, I demonstrated the various colors of the organ with a few hymn arrangements on tunes I knew
most would recognize. Again, the same response. I was delighted to see several ladies comfortable enough to
stand and walk up to the console during the performance to get a closer look. I realized at that moment that this
may have been the first time many of these women had the opportunity to be this close to a pipe organ. There
was a true connect that evening with the ladies. They were so grateful to be able to experience an organ tour
and to have the opportunity to be seated directly beneath the instrument.

And so I was reminded again that we organists continually have to play the role as educator. Inevitably, we
will encounter people from all walks of life who have never heard or seen the organ. In our post-modern cul-
ture we must always be open and ready to teach others about the organ and to share our enthusiasm about our
profession. If your church participates in the CARITAS program, consider offering an evening devoted to an
organ demonstration. You and your guests will be glad you did!

Fourth Thursdays Ministry
Fourth Thursdays Ministry recommences at the new
and improved Firehouse 15! For over a decade, Bo-

portunity, and faithful encouragement in Richmond's blighted Highland Park. Boaz &
Ruth's restaurant, Firehouse 15, is the only sit-down restaurant in Highland Park and
offers job training for program participants. GCPC is supporting this business
by joining in fellowship for dinner on the fourth Thursday of each month. When
there are five Thursdays in the month, on occasion we may shift to the fifth Thursday.
We meet this month on Thursday, October 23, at 6:00 p.m.

No long-term commitment required; intermittent visitors encouraged. If you are inter-
ested in joining, please join our email list for a once-a-month reminder to RSVP.

STEWARDSHIP CORNER

Contributions of $34,400 in August were up over 40% from a low
amount in July and were up 14.7% from those of August a year ago. For
the year to date contributions are up 2.2% from the same period last year,
despite the later including a sizable amount attributable to 2012s pledges.
Expenses in August of $66,300 were up sharply from Julys total of only
$42,300. The total, however, included over five thousand for August
Musicales that was offset by contributions not included above. Also
included was $13,200 in insurance expenses and $7,200 for unbudgeted building projects,
most of which was repairs on the air-conditioning system and roof work on the front of the
building.

Expenses in August exceeded income by $15,900 and for the year to date by $6,700.

In August the Five Cents Per Meal offering was $73, our Loaves and Fishes offering was
$360, and the Mercy offering, $163.

Dawson Watkins was led to write a prayer during one of his devotonal tmes in September.
He has ofered to share that prayer that others might join in and be made further in the image of Christ.

Our gracious Heavenly Father,

HELP

Help me to accept others as they are not how I want them to be. Help me to understand that sinful
behavior has nothing to do with my love of and for others.

As I learn how some behavior is sinful, changing that behavior as it applies to me depends on my lov-
ing you and improving my relatonship with you.

Changing behavior of others is your providence not mine. It hurts my soul and heart when my be-
havior hurts you. My conscience, molded by your Word, needs to be sensitve to hurtul behavior.

Help me to be serving of others not just how I want to serve but how my service can be according
to your will.

All of your children do not reach Christan maturity at the same tme. We live with your love and for
your love. We live to support each other where and how we can.

Lord, I know it would be boring if everyone was the same. We are blessed because you made us indi-
vidually, in your image, and with free will to make decisions that are pleasing to you.

Its my choice to care for others because its part of your will and begins with relatonships. I realize,
and hope others do too, that our life is not ours but yours.

I make this prayer in my Saviors name, Jesus Christ, Amen.

GCPC,
I first and foremost want to thank the Christian Education
Committee for cooperation on planning our second annual
Grace Covenant Community Open House! Sunday School
combined with Child Development Families gathered to
celebrate and explore this upcoming year of learning both
secular and Christian concepts. Most importantly, we look
forward to another year of community, ministry, and pur-
pose as we provide education, care, and love to the Rich-
mond area through both of services. We are so excited to continue to partner with GCPC to
spread the gospel to Richmond through this community!
As we celebrate the start of the new school year, we also say good-bye to summer
and hello to the fall season! All through the month of October we will explore the changing
season of fall. Through interactive activities, children will learn to recognize the changing col-
ors of plants and leaves, as well as be able to identify plants, weather, and animals associated
with the fall season. Children will learn about how animals adapt to the cooling weather, such
as hibernation and gathering food. They will learn all about the fall harvest and what kinds of
plants and foods we planted in the summer that are ready to be harvested now during the fall
season. The children will celebrate the fall harvest and beginning of a new season with a Fall
Festival, during which we will dress up and gather together to play games and engage in cele-
bratory activities. Children will also learn all about what is real and what is only pretend to
better prepare them for the more scary way the community may choose to celebrate this time
of year (Halloween). Pre-K will go on a field trip to the pumpkin patch, and pick a pumpkin of
their very own! We are so excited to celebrate the fall season!
Lastly, I would like to thank the Grace Covenant community for the huge level of
support I have received during my time of being engaged. I have received congratulatory
cards, gifts from members (both church and Board), and most meaningful, many words of sup-
port. I have even had members ask if getting married meant I was leaving, and express their
desire to the contrary, which means so much to me! Starting at Grace Covenant Child Devel-
opment Center as a 19-year-old almost seven years ago, I have become an adult in this com-
munity. The values and supportive community I have been associated with here have helped
shape the kind of adult I am going to be and are things I will carry with me for the rest of my
life and into my new marriage. Yes, GCPC, I am here to stay! This is the last Grace Notes arti-
cle I sign as Nicole Williams. I look forward to continuing my professional, spiritual, and emo-
tional growth in this community over the years to come as Nicole Flournoy! Thank you again
for your wonderful encouragement!

- Nicole Flournoy, CDC Director


Loaves and Fishes Update
One exciting way that we are involved in growing Gods kingdom both lo-
cally and internationally involves the Loaves and Fishes Fund. This fund
was established by Grace Covenants Session and an anonymous donor
three years ago. The money disbursed by the fund goes equally in two di-
rections. First it is used to help support the mission work that the church is
doing internationally by supporting specific mission organizations and
workers. Second, the money is used to help local families in emergency
situations.

So far this calendar year we have allocated over $4,700 locally to help families in our city that have
been in some desperate situations. Let me share a few stories. We helped a mother and her two chil-
dren that were living out of their car get stable housing. We also were able to provide assistance to a
woman whose husband suddenly passed away, leaving her to take care of their three children. These
folks have been so grateful for the support of our church. And we are grateful to those who have con-
tributed to this fundGod is using your gifts to bless families in very practical ways! As always, if
you know of a family that needs help, please contact Matt Hartman, mchartman@vcu.edu, 212-1961.
