West Window Twining upon the modern cross that is centered in this window is the vine illustrating Christ’s statement, “I am the Vine, ye are the branches” (John 15:5), which is also inscribed on the communion table. Dots scattered about the vine may be interpreted as grapes—the branches bearing fruit. A flower-like figure at the center of the cross suggests the Rose of Sharon, another name for Jesus. The twelve stages of Christ’s life are arranged about the cross without drawing attention from the central design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1677774056284-MU2EWHABJB37EK6HXK2H/Stained+Glass+1.jpg Stained Glass https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1677774062905-IBQJ566K1TVRQEUXUJYY/Stained+Glass+2.jpg Stained Glass https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1677774069863-IKS3TP3L9Z4LYOI4E56E/Stained+Glass+3.jpg Stained Glass https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1677774084164-V2HW7PZMUVPN4AEITPV5/Stained+Glass+4.jpg Stained Glass https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1677774089809-0JEM54O1AFN9TI8OQIZO/Stained+Glass+5.jpg Stained Glass https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1677774096567-5144XDOAENGOXZ9L5TP3/Stained+Glass+6.jpg Stained Glass http://www.beaconheights.net/pastor-intro daily 0.75 2023-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/70e7bf09-77c3-469e-8294-8ce2797cc5fc/Ulrich_Christmas_00018.jpg Pastor Paula -

Like any other home, we want to feel welcomed, accepted, and important to others with whom we share that home. What appearances and facilities influence how comfortable we are in our home? Join us for Meet and Eat this coming Sunday, August 20, as we explore ways that our physical building can feel like a loving home for us and others. Your participation will help the Board gather useful information as they more formally consider ways to Refresh our spaces. The more people involved in the conversation, the greater the likelihood that we will be happy with the direction we pursue. On August 27, we will talk more specifically about possible building improvements and what it would take for us to make them. As is our way, any actions taken outside of the scope of the Board or the adopted budget will be determined through Church Council action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1692373490202-8CTFVXDHZNV4XU6703Z0/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2023-8-18 - THank you The love, support and extra work of our church family is especially appreciated as we continue to grieve the loss of Andrew.

There are varying distances to choose from, the shortest being an about 14 miles round trip to Middlebury. Note that THE TRAIL HEAD HAS CHANGED. Head north on S.R. 5 to the north end of town.

For the first session, we will discuss the agenda and method of the book based on the introductory chapter. For the second session we will focus on Mark 14:1-11 in connection with Chapter Three of the book on "The Gospel of Mark and Solidarity in Suffering." Dan has described the book this way when pitching it to a publisher: "Gospel Visions for Troubled Times demonstrates that the four canonical Gospels can inspire life-giving responses to crises that trouble people and the planet today. Each of the four main chapters begins with information about a pressing problem and then models how close reading of a Gospel text can contribute to present-day solutions. This book is essential reading for present and future church leaders who have been called by Jesus to help heal the world." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1696610623661-GT22UUWX0JK4Q3ZNI8RM/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2023-10-13 - craft and bake sale Saturday, October 14th Craft and Bake Sale: 1:00-6:00 Pork Chop Dinner: 5:00-7:00 We still have space available if you would like to sell any craft or baked items (no table fee).

It will be a time of fun, getting to know them, and a light lunch. Come on Sunday, November 12, 11:30 – 1:30 at Beacon Heights Church, 2810 Beacon St., Fort Wayne, IN 46805. We’re planning to serve a light lunch. There will be time to meet with Meshack and the rest of the family as they share about their former lives, journey to the US, and hopes for the future. You will have time to ask questions and get to know them better. Others may be attending who immigrated before them from the DRC and Nyarugusu Refugee Camp and have also welcomed them.

Kingian Nonviolence is an approach to conflict and community leadership that offers values and methods useful for anyone who wants to use conflict constructively in your personal life, in group settings, or in community issues and building a reconciled world. This 2 Hour webinar covers: The 4 pillars of Kingian Nonviolence Initial introduction to the 6 Principles and 6 Steps - the “Will” and the “Skill” of Kingian Nonviolence. The Social Dynamics of Kingian Nonviolence This training will be co-facilitated by Sara Haldeman-Scarr and Ruth Henry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/0726e589-c432-431c-bf47-65aabe99d3af/unnamed.png Beacon 2023-10-27 - Kingian Nonviolence We regularly feel the weight of the injustices, inequality, and suffering in our communities and around the world—all of the many ways in which we do not experience God’s kingdom “on earth as in heaven" (Matthew 6). Together as local Church of the Brethren congregations we have discerned that training in the methods and principles of Kingian Nonviolence (with the help of On Earth Peace) will give us the tools and a renewed imagination for actively pursuing peace in the places of violence in our communities. This training will just be the first step. The goal is to begin forging sustainable networks and initiatives that can address the needs of our world, helping us to participate faithfully in God’s ongoing work of restoration, justice, and peace—bringing all things together and made well in Christ (Ephesians 1:10).

On Earth Peace calls on all our constituents, on followers of Jesus specifically, and on members of the Church of the Brethren to stop the genocide of Palestinians now. All who believe in the force of agape love are called to focus and channel it now to stop this terrible tragedy. There are no words to express how difficult, heavy, and unbearable these last weeks have been for Palestinians, and for all of us watching this nightmare on TV, and social media, and through the heartbreaking testimonies of our Palestinian friends and colleagues. We give the loss of all civilian life, both in Israel and in Palestine. No more deaths! No more violence! Non-stop for almost three weeks now, Israel has been bombing homes, whole neighborhoods, hospitals, schools, mosques, and churches in Gaza, while cutting off electricity, fuel, water, medicine, and food supplies to the 2.3 million Palestinians there.At least 9,000 Palestinians have been murdered, including more than 3,600 children and more than 21,000 Palestinians wounded. More than 40% of all housing units have been damaged or destroyed. Prominent international scholars and genocide experts as well as US and Palestinian human rights organizations are sounding the alarm and calling on the world to intervene and stop the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. We must heed the call to action from Palestiians, including Palestinian Christians. “If I die, remember that I, we, were individuals, humans, we had names, dreams and achievements and our only fault was that we were classified as inferior.” Belal Aldabbour “In Gaza, every one of us dies a little death every night and we are born again every morning.” - Rasha Abushaban What OEP is Calling For We call our constituents to support Palestinians and all people of good will to act now to end the genocide and apartheid that has been inflicted on Palestinians for the past 75 years. We support the demand for a ceasefire that can save lives immediately. We urge that humanitarian aid flow freely through Palestine, meeting urgent needs for medical care, food, and water. We call for Israel to lift the long-term siege of Gaza, allowing Palestinians to move freely once again and ending the prison camp of Gaza that the Israeli government has created.

Jennifer Scarr, Co-Chair OEP Board of Directors I read this morning in the New York Times that Israel’s army is “tightening the noose” around Gaza City. I read that hospitals are losing and have lost power. I read that because of that power loss a premature baby died in an incubator. Others died, too, but it’s the child that haunts me. There is an ancient story asking for our attention in these present days. It arises from 2nd Samuel 21. The story goes like this: In the days following King Saul’s defeat, after the great war that put David on the throne, the land was parched. Cracks spread along the fields, swallowing up what crops the people had managed to grow. Famine and drought had been bedfellows to King David’s people for 3 years. King David beseeched the Lord for answers. “Why is the land dry? Why is there no rain?” The sins of a past king came back to haunt him. The former King Saul had done poorly by their neighbors the Gibeonite people and God was seeking reconciliation. The drought was a divine attempt to gain King David’s attention. But King David did not ask God for the pathway to reconciliation, instead he asked the Gibeonites - “What would you have me do?” Vengeance burned bright in their hearts and they demanded an eye for an eye. To sooth their blood thirst, King David gave the Gibeonites two sons and five grandsons of Saul to be sacrificed in atonement for past sins. The Gibeonites hungrily took the young men to the top of a hill and impaled all seven on large wooden stakes. All seven died together. King David turned to the skies, expecting rain. None came. Instead there came a woman. A mother. The mother of the two sons of Saul who were killed. Rizpah. Rizpah climbed the dreadful hill and picked a large flat rock next to the dead boys as a bed. There she spread sackcloth and held terrible vigil. Months passed. Each day, Rizpah defended the boys. She beat back the moonlit scavengers and the sun drenched ravens so that no creature disturbed her boys. All seven were her boys now. Between the wild scuffles, she pointed her body toward King David’s house. She could not see him, but she watched him. And God’s eyes watched, too. Waiting for justice. Waiting for healing rain to fall on the land. Word eventually reached the ears of the mighty King David about Rizpah and her vigil. David felt her eyes on his back. David felt the eyes of God on his heart and knew his mistake. Innocent boys had been killed, he was to blame. While King David could not undo the violence done, could not undo the sins committed, he did what he could. King David went to the hill where the seven young men were impaled and gathered their bodies. Rizpah was there. He buried them all with dignity, with respect in their homeland. Rizpah was there. And she wept. As the tears poured from her eyes so too did they pour from the eyes of God. The clouds broke open and a gentle rain fell upon all the land. I feel Rizpah’s eyes on us today. I feel her spirit beckoning us. Beckoning us to be brave. Beckoning us to hold terrible vigil, join the protests, call representatives, and defend the lives of those in Gaza and the West Bank as if they were our own flesh and blood. She will not give up until justice is done. With God’s help, neither will we. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1700229431560-7YE498H63KCOQ16PNSMQ/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2023-11-17 - Prayer for peace by Matt Guynn, Co-Executive Director & Director of Organizing at On Earth Peace Holy One, break our hearts and form them again. We lament death, fear, and destruction in Gaza, Israel, and the entire Middle East. We lament those killed, those maimed, those whose spirits are crushed. We cry out for our sisters, our brothers, our whole human family still under bombardment and living without water or bread. Lord, sit with us as we cry. Quell the violence when and where it arises -- in hearts or in war rooms. Holy One, break our hearts and form them again. Lord, guide us to grieve and feel. Breathe through us as we inhale, seeking your inspiration. Guide us to see your imprint in every person, to value each life. Lord, guide us to rise. Open our imaginations and open a path to powerful action for justice and peace.

On Monday, November 27, beginning at 9:30 am, volunteers are welcome to join in a deep cleaning of the cupboards and cabinets as we sort out what is needed each week and what can be stored elsewhere. Unneeded items will first be made available for reuse, repurposing, or recycling within the congregation. Cleaning will be followed by fresh paint and, hopefully, the arrival of a new stove, new microwaves, and some other items. A brief report on progress will be provided at the December 10 Council meeting. As the new year begins, the ReFRESH committee will develop a more extensive plan for how to invigorate the building, including options for what might be done, a suggested timeline, and ways to pay for things without detracting from other missions of the congregation. The ReFRESH committee of Donna Kline, Carol Lindquist, Linda Myers, Thom Quinlan, Deb Romary, Lisa Leichty Steele, and Linda Wolf is always glad to hear your thoughts! Financial support for the kitchen effort has come through the generosity of memorial gifts. For those persons who remembered Beacon Height in their estate planning and for those who will provide future support of time, labor, and money, we give thanks! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1699625977144-OYO8C9QNSJ5HHSWRVSN1/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2023-11-24 - Weekly food bank update Thank you for all your donations!

Jennifer Scarr, Co-Chair OEP Board of Directors I read this morning in the New York Times that Israel’s army is “tightening the noose” around Gaza City. I read that hospitals are losing and have lost power. I read that because of that power loss a premature baby died in an incubator. Others died, too, but it’s the child that haunts me. There is an ancient story asking for our attention in these present days. It arises from 2nd Samuel 21. The story goes like this: In the days following King Saul’s defeat, after the great war that put David on the throne, the land was parched. Cracks spread along the fields, swallowing up what crops the people had managed to grow. Famine and drought had been bedfellows to King David’s people for 3 years. King David beseeched the Lord for answers. “Why is the land dry? Why is there no rain?” The sins of a past king came back to haunt him. The former King Saul had done poorly by their neighbors the Gibeonite people and God was seeking reconciliation. The drought was a divine attempt to gain King David’s attention. But King David did not ask God for the pathway to reconciliation, instead he asked the Gibeonites - “What would you have me do?” Vengeance burned bright in their hearts and they demanded an eye for an eye. To sooth their blood thirst, King David gave the Gibeonites two sons and five grandsons of Saul to be sacrificed in atonement for past sins. The Gibeonites hungrily took the young men to the top of a hill and impaled all seven on large wooden stakes. All seven died together. King David turned to the skies, expecting rain. None came. Instead there came a woman. A mother. The mother of the two sons of Saul who were killed. Rizpah. Rizpah climbed the dreadful hill and picked a large flat rock next to the dead boys as a bed. There she spread sackcloth and held terrible vigil. Months passed. Each day, Rizpah defended the boys. She beat back the moonlit scavengers and the sun drenched ravens so that no creature disturbed her boys. All seven were her boys now. Between the wild scuffles, she pointed her body toward King David’s house. She could not see him, but she watched him. And God’s eyes watched, too. Waiting for justice. Waiting for healing rain to fall on the land. Word eventually reached the ears of the mighty King David about Rizpah and her vigil. David felt her eyes on his back. David felt the eyes of God on his heart and knew his mistake. Innocent boys had been killed, he was to blame. While King David could not undo the violence done, could not undo the sins committed, he did what he could. King David went to the hill where the seven young men were impaled and gathered their bodies. Rizpah was there. He buried them all with dignity, with respect in their homeland. Rizpah was there. And she wept. As the tears poured from her eyes so too did they pour from the eyes of God. The clouds broke open and a gentle rain fell upon all the land. I feel Rizpah’s eyes on us today. I feel her spirit beckoning us. Beckoning us to be brave. Beckoning us to hold terrible vigil, join the protests, call representatives, and defend the lives of those in Gaza and the West Bank as if they were our own flesh and blood. She will not give up until justice is done. With God’s help, neither will we. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1700229431560-7YE498H63KCOQ16PNSMQ/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2023-11-24 - Prayer for peace by Matt Guynn, Co-Executive Director & Director of Organizing at On Earth Peace Holy One, break our hearts and form them again.

This scripture focuses on Mary's visit to Elizabeth. Ignatian Lectio Divina is a slightly different way of reading the scripture. As we listen, we are invited to imagine ourselves in the story. We might decide to be one of the story's characters or an object or an on-looker, noticing what we hear, feel, see, or taste! It's a deep way of experiencing the story -- and feeling it in our bones. Pastor Paula also will help us engage as a gathered group with something (a song, a poem, or a meditation) from our Advent devotional. Meet and Eat will begin with breakfast at 9:20 in the fellowship hall, and with this program at 9:30 in the parlor. Come prepared for a new experience! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/4fa58a58-847c-4ec9-92ef-226497af74f4/nativity.jpg Beacon 2023-12-1 - Nativities We are planning a new display for the entry this Advent season!

We lament death, fear, and destruction in Gaza, Israel, and the entire Middle East. We lament those killed, those maimed, those whose spirits are crushed. We cry out for our sisters, our brothers, our whole human family still under bombardment and living without water or bread. Lord, sit with us as we cry. Quell the violence when and where it arises -- in hearts or in war rooms. Holy One, break our hearts and form them again. Lord, guide us to grieve and feel. Breathe through us as we inhale, seeking your inspiration. Guide us to see your imprint in every person, to value each life. Lord, guide us to rise. Open our imaginations and open a path to powerful action for justice and peace. Holy One, break our hearts and form them again. http://www.beaconheights.net/beacon-2023128 daily 0.75 2023-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/4f59728f-303f-430c-ab80-adfaaf52d391/Beacon+Newsletter+%282%29.png Beacon 2023-12-8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1702049655875-QMVKU4NL45NZ1ZGHB04O/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2023-12-8 - meet and eat-Christmas Carol Sing!

Ten families (19 children, 14 adults) were kept safe, warm, and well fed during this advent season as parents worked and children went to school. Our dinners, lunch items, and household supplies were much appreciated as these families work through this difficult time toward securing suitable housing. In 2024 Beacon Heights will again have three service rotations, with the first coming up in January. Watch for sign-up opportunities to join the Beacon Heights team January 7, 8, and 9 as we continue this service. Also, please pray for the families and staff that they remain healthy as they continue their work.

She will lead us in what’s called Ignatian Lectio Divina, focusing on the songs of Mary and Zechariah from Luke 1:46-55 and Luke 1:67-80. Ignatian Lectio Divina invites us to imagine ourselves in the story – as a person, an onlooker, or perhaps an object. It invites us to use all our senses – hearing, seeing, tasting, smelling, and feeling – as we experience the story or reading. Pastor Paula also will tap into our Advent devotional, so that we can engage that not only as an individual reading it, but as a group. Meet and Eat begins with breakfast at 9:20 in the fellowship hall, and with this program at 9:30 in the parlor. Come prepared to experience the scripture in a creatively different way! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/0789cf85-ac02-4521-b5c6-ea73e5d3110b/SA_makeyourfaceshine_social.jpg Beacon 2023-12-15 - service for the weary-Thursday, December 21st 7:30p.m. We will gather in the parlor for this intimate, reflective service that acknowledges our grief, fatigue, weariness, and loneliness. This service is sometimes called “Blue Christmas” or “Longest Night,” and indeed, we will be sharing it together on the longest night of the year. Using images, gentle songs, and thoughtful liturgy, we will draw near to one another to receive God’s healing presence as Emmanuel, “God with us.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1702654496854-I6PTX34E6ZD2F4H50808/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2023-12-15 - 2024 Beacon Heights Directory Please make any corrections or additions to your entry in the directory on the office countertop.

Beginning this Sunday and throughout the month of March we are inviting you to prayerfully ponder what you are able to commit financially to this effort. Our goal is to raise at least $20,000 to match the seed money the Board allocated to the project during their January meeting. Members of the ReFRESH committee will have a special table set up Sunday, March, 3 after worship for your to pick up your pledge card. If you are not in attendance at worship that morning, your letter will be placed in USPS mail on Monday. Please return your pledge no later than April 1. We are asking that financial pledges be fulfilled by June 1 so that the work of the projects can begin. Projects will not be started until sufficient funds are on hand to complete them. Of course, if you wish to make a donation at this time instead of a pledge, we are prepared to receive your gift. Phase 2 will occur throughout 2024, focusing on the main floor of the building likely by using space somewhat differently to increase opportunities for people to sit together for conversations, reading, or just waiting. We also hope to update the restrooms by reducing the heavy use of orange color and ensuring greater convenience for all users. However, the most anticipated change is the replacement of the carpet throughout the hallway area and in the offices. Later this year, you will be invited to pledge financial support for Phase 3 of ReFRESH which is intended to replace the carpet in the sanctuary during 2025. We remain grateful for your encouragement, your questions, and your ideas as our building takes on new life. Be sure to visit our table on Sunday!

More than 120 letters are headed to mailboxes throughout the country to current and former friends of Beacon Heights as we invite both prayerful and financial support of this effort. Our goal is to raise $20,000 in pledges by April1 so that specific projects can determined from a broad list of projects, and that pledges will be fulfilled by June 1 for work to be completed over the summer. A quick look at the funding thermometer in the hallway will tell you our level of progress each week. Look, too, for posters with examples of what is being considered for a color scheme, wall décor, furniture options, and eventually carpet samples. To make a pledge, complete a pledge card from the ushers’ table and drop it in the ReFRESH box. If you wish to make a donation, drop it in the offering plate or refresh box with a note that says “ReFRESH” on it. Small envelopes marked “ReFRESH” are on the ushers’ table to ensure your privacy. You can also make a donation via our website by linking it to the ReFRESH Fund (4716). All donations – large or small – represent our confidence in the presence and ministries of Becon Heights.

More than 120 letters are headed to mailboxes throughout the country to current and former friends of Beacon Heights as we invite both prayerful and financial support of this effort. Our goal is to raise $20,000 in pledges by April1 so that specific projects can determined from a broad list of projects, and that pledges will be fulfilled by June 1 for work to be completed over the summer. A quick look at the funding thermometer in the hallway will tell you our level of progress each week. Look, too, for posters with examples of what is being considered for a color scheme, wall décor, furniture options, and eventually carpet samples. To make a pledge, complete a pledge card from the ushers’ table and drop it in the ReFRESH box. If you wish to make a donation, drop it in the offering plate or refresh box with a note that says “ReFRESH” on it. Small envelopes marked “ReFRESH” are on the ushers’ table to ensure your privacy. You can also make a donation via our website by linking it to the ReFRESH Fund (4716). All donations – large or small – represent our confidence in the presence and ministries of Becon Heights.

This week the quilt from the south entryway was taken down but you will soon see it in a different location. On Easter Sunday, the north entryway will feature new art and décor and perhaps a new arrangement of furniture. Come early to take a look! In April we will clear out the youth room in the basement to create an indoor play space for preschool use during inclement weather. With this change, the tables and chairs in the Fellowship Hall can remain set up throughout the week. As with all areas used by the preschool, we are able to use the youth room for congregational purposes when needed.

Enter your name exactly as it appears on your registration. I was surprised that Anna Lisa Gross is not registered, but Anna Gross is. As you prepare your plan to vote, take a moment to learn what offices are on the ballot and who the candidates are in each district here. http://www.beaconheights.net/beacon-2024329 daily 0.75 2024-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/4f59728f-303f-430c-ab80-adfaaf52d391/Beacon+Newsletter+%282%29.png Beacon 2024-3-29 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1711120326216-LFDFFYAPJHVZEKZ4FM0U/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2024-3-29 Easter Meet & Eat Potluck! Easter Sunday is next Sunday! It’s also potluck Sunday for Meet and Eat! Time for you to share something for folks to eat! It doesn’t have to be fancy or huge- do you have a favorite Easter baked item? Do you want to bring some yogurt and fruit? Get some donuts at your favorite shop. If you want to bake something, go right ahead. This is a time to share various foods and enjoy the assortment that comes! The last Sunday of every month will be a potluck for Meet and Eat, so if you don’t have anything to share next Sunday, maybe you can share the NEXT Meet and Eat potluck the last Sunday of May. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1711722728383-NFXD8O9LZG38VENKUL4V/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2024-3-29 New Artwork Several months ago several of our Beacon Heights artists were asked to participate in a project to create works that express who we are as a faith community. A few of those pieces have been on our walls for a while; on Sunday morning ALL of them will be on display, and we would like to formally thank each of the artists: Barb Trout – PEACE stained glass; Linda Meyers – “All are Welcome” and “Let Justice Roll” watercolors; Paula Krill – LOVE mosaic; and Sandy Kirakofe – COMMUNITY miniature quilt. Thank you all for sharing your gifts and for the many, many hours that went into the creation of these lovely pieces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/c94315fe-323e-4ef1-a673-f9e43863c740/her+words+for+bh.png Beacon 2024-3-29 Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1711722230131-7Q5FRCD13COYL7WHX5KI/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2024-3-29 ReFRESH Update March 2024 As the month of March is closing, we are asking that all ReFRESH pledges be turned in so that projects can be prioritized and a budget developed. Pledges can be emailed to Barbt Trout or placed in the ReFRESH box on the ushers table. Now it's time for your input into what's coming next! On Sunday, April 7, we will have three carpet samples that are being considered for use in the hallway that stretches from the north door to the south door and in the three offices. Our hope is that next year we can install the same carpet in the sanctuary. Which carpet color do you like? You can indicate your preference of color by putting sticky dots on your preference and, if you have any questions or comments, you are welcome to write them out and deposit them in the ReFRESH box. To help collect your opinions on other topics, a survey will be arriving by email early next week and we ask that you return it by April 8 so that the committee can look at results on April 9. A paper copy of the survey will be available on April 7 for those who prefer using paper. Fill it out and drop it in the ReFRESH box. To each and every one of you who has supported ReFRESH but offering ideas, your hard work, and your financial resources, we offer a big thank you. We look forward to the freshness and beauty that will be coming over the spring and summer months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1709307972934-OZGMIJAZ6TL0G14UNQZQ/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2024-3-29 Weekly Food Bank Update Thank you for all your donations!

Join us this Sunday (April 7) as we welcome and receive two young honorary members, and four adult members to our community of faith at Beacon Heights Church of the Brethren. We will welcome Lucy and Elissa Wages as honorary members. They are the daughters of Tim and Beth Wages, who joined Beacon Heights in March 2023. Lucy and Elissa were dedicated during that time, and since then have expressed their desire to become members. And so, Pastors Paula and Anna Lisa have decided to honor their desire by making them honorary members in our community, with the hope that they will be baptized and become official members when they are a little older. We also welcome Mark and Denise Cross. They lived in Fort Wayne before moving to Illinois for a time; and while there they joined Highland Avenue Church of the Brethren in Elgin. They have been attending Beacon Heights since last fall, and are joining through a transfer of letter from Highland Avenue to Beacon Heights. We welcome Ginny Drew through Affirmation of Faith. Ginny began attending during Advent last December, diving right into the many seasonal activities of our community. It feels like Ginny has been part of our community for a long time already! We welcome Angela Ruiz as well. Angela began attending in September on the same Sunday that we welcomed our refugee family. She herself knows what it's like to be a refugee, coming to the United States from Chile with her family when she was a child. We are so glad that she is joining us through Affirmation of Faith. A light reception will follow worship, complete with trivia answers for the "New Member Trivia Game." Be on the look-out for that as we learn more about our new members, and welcome them into our family of faith! New Members -- we are so delighted that you are joining us! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1712332128334-Y136AR77C54QF0A0RFZ2/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2024-4-5 A Special Thank You Thank you to Brenda Galbraith and the education committee for the wonderful job organizing the Easter Egg hunt.

In these times when we can know the violence and heartbreak throughout the world, every minute of the day and night, we must nourish ourselves and one another all the more intentionally and generously. As women gather to sing together, singing each other's favorite songs, singing gentle lullabies, singing in many languages, singing of strength and hope, singing that creates and celebrates beauty - we generate more love among us, within each of us--to sustain each woman, each family--to share widely. Practicing curiosity and kindness with new friends, old friends, friends for only one night as we pass through one another's lives. We open our ears to listen to the song. We open our hearts to each person who gathers, from all ages and walks of life. All women (as you understand yourself) and your kids/grandkids/niblings are invited to our monthly Sister Song Circle, a partnership between Beacon Heights and Sophia's Portico, birthed by Kelsi Lee. You don't need to be a "singer" to come. We begin with a potluck at 5:30pm, then the women sing together while the kids have crafts and a mindful movie. You are encouraged to bring $5/family to support the childcare program (whether you bring kids along or not, this is a way of caring and sharing together). We gather on the last Thursday of each month, so April 25. Contact Pastor Anna Lisa with questions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/7ee0b9fa-82fe-482e-a097-12e502c5562e/Drupal-TheWell_solar+glasses_AS_355653701.jpg Beacon 2024-4-12 Used Eclipse Glasses Wanted!

From sharing our own family and cultural histories to stories of our earliest awareness of race and ethnicity, this is a time to deepen our self-awareness, know our siblings in faith better, and be challenged to engage in the sacred vision of racial justice---together, and with breakfast provided! Please come to both sessions, though it's perfectly fine if you can only make it to one. There are more resources than we'll have time to look at together, and if you want a preview, you can read all about it at https://www.brethren.org/swpoc/ . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/041bfc7e-4ce6-4274-8dcc-f682d409cbf3/wmismeters%40gmail.com_20240419_102015_0001.jpg Beacon 2024-4-19 Mother’s Day Mother's Day will be here soon (May 12), and we hope that you will honor the women in your life by supporting mothers all around the world through our Mother's Day Project!

In order to explore some grant opportunities and discern possible priorities, we invite you to consider joining a Green Team which would meet as-needed to research and study together. This is not a 3-year commitment of monthly meetings, but it's not simply a place to have a loud opinion - we want to think hard together!

Nurture is looking for two volunteers for our potlucks on the last Sundays of the month for Meet and Eat. One person would be in charge of making sure the coffee is started and the other person would be in charge of making sure things get cleaned up. There could be different people at each potluck or you could do more than one. There is a sign up sheet in the office or you can email or text (Ruthann.bever@gmail.com or 260-341-2965) if you would be willing to help with this for a month. We will be taking a break in July from Meet and Eat so we won’t need volunteers then but that leaves April, May, June, August, September, October, November, and December. Please think about helping! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1713542499146-VLUUH2GNTRJ0DIDJLQHL/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2024-4-19 Weekly Food Bank Update Thank you for all your donations!

In these times when we can know the violence and heartbreak throughout the world, every minute of the day and night, we must nourish ourselves and one another all the more intentionally and generously. As women gather to sing together, singing each other's favorite songs, singing gentle lullabies, singing in many languages, singing of strength and hope, singing that creates and celebrates beauty - we generate more love among us, within each of us--to sustain each woman, each family--to share widely. Practicing curiosity and kindness with new friends, old friends, friends for only one night as we pass through one another's lives. We open our ears to listen to the song. We open our hearts to each person who gathers, from all ages and walks of life. All women (as you understand yourself) and your kids/grandkids/niblings are invited to our monthly Sister Song Circle, a partnership between Beacon Heights and Sophia's Portico, birthed by Kelsi Lee. You don't need to be a "singer" to come. We begin with a potluck at 5:30pm, then the women sing together while the kids have crafts and a mindful movie. You are encouraged to bring $5/family to support the childcare program (whether you bring kids along or not, this is a way of caring and sharing together). We gather on the last Thursday of each month, so April 25. Contact Pastor Anna Lisa with questions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/7ee0b9fa-82fe-482e-a097-12e502c5562e/Drupal-TheWell_solar+glasses_AS_355653701.jpg Beacon 2024-4-19 Used Eclipse Glasses Wanted!

As the exciting ReFRESH efforts continue to unfold, we have items to remove to allow for better use of our space. The youth room (downstairs below the parlor) has many items for which we'd like to find a new home. We've attempted to communicate with those who have used the items and believe these things are no longer needed. If we've overlooked a use, please let us know. The pool table (with Ping Pong table cover), chairs, tables, couches and more are available! (Our ping pong table will be relocated to the adjacent youth room). You are invited to visit the room and take any items you can use by May 20th. No charge for the items, but feel welcome to make a donation to the ReFRESH fund.

As the exciting ReFRESH efforts continue to unfold, we have items to remove to allow for better use of our space.

The pool table (with Ping Pong table cover), chairs, tables, couches and more are available! (Our ping pong table will be relocated to the adjacent youth room). You are invited to visit the room and take any items you can use by May 20th. No charge for the items, but feel welcome to make a donation to the ReFRESH fund.

National Gun Violence Awareness Day is an annual event that takes place on the first Friday in June and marks the beginning of Wear Orange Weekend. Wear Orange is dedicated to honoring the lives of people in the United States affected by gun violence and elevating the voices of those demanding an end to gun violence. We invite you to promote and participate in this simple call for peace in our broken world--together--as disciples of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Wear Orange is a fantastic opportunity for Church of the Brethren congregations to visibly demonstrate our historic commitment to peace and nonviolence by connecting with the larger nationwide gun violence prevention movement in the United States. Anyone concerned about the lives impacted by gun violence can Wear Orange to raise awareness, honor victims, and grieve senseless violence. How We're Asking COB Congregations to Participate It's easy! Just wear anything from your closet that's orange on June 7-9. We invite you to wear orange especially on Sunday, June 9 as you gather for worship. If you're interested in purchasing Wear Orange merchandise, you will find several items here: On Earth Peace Merch | Printify Pop-Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/bd626fe1-5eee-4c42-bb76-c3a4fd32be3b/3000miles.png Beacon 2024-6-7 Supporting OEP On Earth Peace is hosting 3000 Miles for Peace as a virtual fundraising event to support the work of the organization.

Beacon Heights has long supported OEP as the peacebuilding agency of the denomination and source of training on Kingian Nonviolence. Throughout the month of June, participants from across the globe are recording their “miles” of exercise to bring awareness to the work of OEP and its impact throughout the world. You can participate (information on Facebook or on the OEP website) or you can support Carol Lindquist or Ruth Ann Bever as participants and Carol as an OEP board member by making a donation directly to OEP. See Carol for more information. A Message From Ruth Ann Bever: I am going to do my usual exercise each day - trying to walk at least 2 miles and riding my bike 5-10 miles. I would love to have you donate to this cause! It begins on June 1, so you don't have much time to make a pledge! I don't have a personal goal because I can't guarantee a certain result each day. I will do as much as possible until June 27 when I get my left knee replaced! Thank you so much for considering this! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1717606688977-UIMW00VBY6YHJTD7458L/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2024-6-21 Next B.I.C.Y.C.L.E.

Please contact the church office or Mary Whitehead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1722617051328-LAAXGIIBEEF8EE8RVB33/unsplash-image-6jYoil2GhVk.jpg Beacon 2024-8-2 Library News Many ReFRESHing changes have been happening at Beacon Heights, including the church library. Old books and other materials have been weeded out, and the library is no longer housed in the lower level preschool area. Children’s books and activity bags for use by children during worship can be found near the south entrance. Other children’s books are in the south classroom. Adult books are housed on the bookcase near the north drinking fountain. A few may also be found on the north entryway shelf and on table tops. These books are for your enjoyment and education. Please feel free to check out as you wish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1722520194627-1P5EJSE20D7B4TS2ZCXX/unsplash-image-KZv7w34tluA.jpg Beacon 2024-8-2 Please use first and last names in email correspondences until Norma is familiar with everyone.

Thank you to all who have made this possible. Four projects remain and are expected to be completed within the next month or a bit more. First, pieces of art will be placed in their official places and bulletin boards will take on new roles. Second, the Fellowship Hall will have a designated “living area” with a cozy rug, the upcycled chairs from ReSTORE, and an end table or two to complement the table groupings that will remain set up throughout the week. The remaining two projects include us all in either planning, helping, or patiently awaiting the results. Within a few days an email will be sent asking you to indicate your preference for the blessing that will be written over the south doorway. These words are intended to inspire us to carry our faith into the world. All suggestions from the congregation were reviewed and several were combined to create the choices. Option 1: “Go in joy! Live in peace!” Option 2: “Do justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly with God.” The final project is the remodeling of the restrooms. All of the orange will disappear from the main floor women’s and men’s restrooms but will remain in the lower level women’s and men’s restrooms. New flooring will be installed. Walls will be freshly painted with a similar color. The vanities will be replaced and we are hoping to reuse the sinks and fixtures. Finally, the orange partitions will be repainted a neutral color. Because of the complexity of the work, likely there will be one Sunday when the main floor restrooms will be under construction. If so, we will inform people ahead of time. Lower level facilities, of course, will remain open every Sunday. Once the main floor restroom renovation is complete, attention will turn to upgrading the Inclusive restroom found on the lower level. With the coming of fall, a second large stained glass will be installed in the front entry, framing the word “hope”. Welcoming décor will let everyone know they are welcome at Beacon Heights! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/942c59bc-afd1-4d5f-b438-0eaa9c72cb3e/il_794xN.6005275169_ptvt.jpg Beacon 2024-8-2 Birthday Wishes !!

Beacon Heights is grateful for the peacemaking work of Angelo and Alice Community Outreach and eagerly welcomes him back! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/244de380-d1d8-4f46-9990-e003ca36c9c9/istockphoto-1199669700-612x612.jpg Beacon 2024-8-9 ReFRESH Update Throughout the summer, efforts to complete Phase 2 of ReFRESH have given us a lovely soft carpet, comfortable chairs for resting or reading, and colorful walls in gathering spaces. Thank you to all who have made this possible. Four projects remain and are expected to be completed within the next month or a bit more. First, pieces of art will be placed in their official places and bulletin boards will take on new roles. Second, the Fellowship Hall will have a designated “living area” with a cozy rug, the upcycled chairs from ReSTORE, and an end table or two to complement the table groupings that will remain set up throughout the week. The remaining two projects include us all in either planning, helping, or patiently awaiting the results. Within a few days an email will be sent asking you to indicate your preference for the blessing that will be written over the south doorway. These words are intended to inspire us to carry our faith into the world. All suggestions from the congregation were reviewed and several were combined to create the choices. Option 1: “Go in joy! Live in peace!” Option 2: “Do justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly with God.” The final project is the remodeling of the restrooms. All of the orange will disappear from the main floor women’s and men’s restrooms but will remain in the lower level women’s and men’s restrooms. New flooring will be installed. Walls will be freshly painted with a similar color. The vanities will be replaced and we are hoping to reuse the sinks and fixtures. Finally, the orange partitions will be repainted a neutral color. Because of the complexity of the work, likely there will be one Sunday when the main floor restrooms will be under construction. If so, we will inform people ahead of time. Lower level facilities, of course, will remain open every Sunday. Once the main floor restroom renovation is complete, attention will turn to upgrading the Inclusive restroom found on the lower level. With the coming of fall, a second large stained glass will be installed in the front entry, framing the word “hope”. Welcoming décor will let everyone know they are welcome at Beacon Heights! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1716472713730-WIGX6CC8G4R53PQ1QZX6/image-asset.jpeg Beacon 2024-8-9 Weekly Food Bank Update Thank you for all your donations!

Money is so tight for so many people right now. Given the need, it's likely that our food bank will need more funding than what our 2024 budget allows. If you would like to give a boost of extra support to this ministry, your financial donations are welcome. You may write a check to the church with "Food Bank" in the memo line. Also, the food bank always welcomes food donations -- anytime. These may be placed on the labelled table near the food bank, or labelled and left in the church office. Also, be on the look-out for a special Food Bank Drive every Sunday during the month of November as we celebrate generosity and gratefulness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1570ed72-7488-4ebc-aa1d-7c8dc19556e5/Food+Bank.jpg Beacon 2024-9-22 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/3d8e4c31-d528-4439-bf1b-4681d4351cc5/images+%281%29.jfif Beacon 2024-9-22 In the Office At one time, Beacon Heights had a full-time Office Manager to take care of the countless office tasks of the congregation. Those days are long gone, but sometimes we still expect the Office Manager to do things that we might do ourselves. With tighter hours and still so many things to do, we invite you to think carefully about whether your request is something that you can easily handle, or whether it's something that only our Office Manager or one of the Pastors can do. We appreciate your thoughtfulness in making sure our Staff can work efficiently and productively for the ministry of our community.

We could use a few more people to operate sound and/or work on streaming our service and operating the slide show on Sunday mornings. We already have a corp group of people who do this important work, which adds so much to our worship services. But we could use a few more to serve in the monthly rotation. Will you consider it? Whether this is something you can do with your eyes closed, or something that you've always wanted to learn, please speak with Pastor Paula or Pastor Anna Lisa -- and we'll get you connected with those who can show you what it's all about at Beacon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/51ef785f-2d39-4e8f-9cfd-eb78012a6a82/360_F_252821540_xEiRYqNudFtAhA3reX73UqOFrjfcUa5H.jpg Beacon 2024-9-22 Support The Pastors and Board sent a letter of support to 12 Haitian Churches of the Brethren/ministries in the United States, as well as West Charleston CoB (near Springfield, OH with many new-er American members) and a Haitian-American Community Center in Springfield, OH.

For some, it's been a brief irritation, and for others, we've truly been through the wringer! With fall coming, that also means that flu and RSV season is quickly on its way! With concern for one another, knowing that there are pre-existing conditions and vulnerabilities among us, please use extra caution if you suspect that you have a communicable illness. Hand disinfectant stations have been placed in the north entrance and fellowship hall, and a large bottle of hand sanitizer will be on the counter outside of the church office. Please wear masks as a precaution when needed. And if you suspect that you are ill, please, please, please stay home. If you have a responsibility -- but that tickle in your throat won't go away or you're coughing or running a fever -- please call someone, and we'll work it out on your behalf. We'll miss you, but we also will appreciate the caution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/a24b4e49-fd96-4de5-9a84-8ae8db0b2223/trunk+or+treat+sign+up+form+2024.jpg Beacon 2024-9-22 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/1726082661592-QZI65FA3JUZWP3NBUS60/unsplash-image-CYlPykF-qAM.jpg Beacon 2024-9-22 Brentwood Elementary We are excited to be rekindling our relationship with Brentwood Elementary School, and are happy that your responses have been so positive!

For 50 years "On Earth Peace" has been advancing the joyful vision that accompanied the birth of Jesus by developing and walking with leaders working for justice and peace. Ted and Co use humor and professional storytelling to talk about issues of faith and social justice, provoking both laughter and reflection, as all good comedy does. This show, "Just Give 'Em the News" is an original, delightfully askew, musical take on the first Christmas, when the good news of "on earth peace" was proclaimed. We'll watch together with food provided! Sign up on the office counter or by emailing/calling the office by Friday, September 26 at 2pm so we have enough food. (And if you are familiar with Ted & Co -- you know this will be a really fun, meaningful event!

A year ago, the congregation voted to raise funds to support ReFRESH with priority on replacing carpet and upgrading the restrooms. By Christmas time, Phase 1 of ReFRESH had repainted the kitchen, added new lighting, cleaned deeply, and replaced the appliances. Since then, the kitchen has become a popular gathering place that is easy to navigate in a welcoming atmosphere. The new year ushered in Phase 2 of ReFRESH as the parlor and entry areas were given new looks to make spaces comfortable and appealing. Conversations with the preschool and other groups that use the church helped to determine effective uses of other available spaces. As a result, a relaxed living area in the fellowship hall now offers an additional option for small group conversations and the designation of the south classroom for children’s Sunday School assures our youngest that they belong at Beacon Heights, too. Above all, fresh carpet and upgraded restrooms added a new look and feel to very well used spaces. As Phase 2 winds down, a blessing statement is yet be placed above the south door and some additional work will occur in the lower- level inclusive restroom. After the first of the year, consideration of Phase 3 will officially begin, targeting the sanctuary and the exterior of the building. Currently, ReFRESH is looking at a grant to pay for planting of several new trees and will provide more information about that within the next few weeks. Conversations about worship practices and sanctuary amenities begun last fall, will continue. The budget for ReFRESH remains healthy because of the generosity of the Beacon Heights faith family and the careful oversight of expenditure by the committee. Total available funds were approximately $52,000. Of that total, $20,000 was an internal transfer of existing church funds and approximately $32,000 was donated specifically for ReFRESH. ReFRESH costs tallied approximately $36,000 which leaves approximately $16,000 toward work that could be done in the sanctuary or to the exterior. The ReFRESH committee remains deeply grateful for free-flowing conversations about priorities and preferences, patience as it took more than one try to get to good results, and an understanding that the church building represents the values of our faith. Moving forward, responsibility for caring for our building spaces rests with us all. Bulletin boards await important information about the congregation and its efforts beyond. Bookshelves await the” ins and outs” of use as books and items of meaning are shared. You are encouraged to contribute to those spaces with a kind reminder that if you put something up, you are responsible for taking it down when its usefulness has expired. Beacon Heights wants all those who visit its building to feel welcome and comfortable. The warm embrace of our faith family remains the most important component of all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/07e3fe2b-676c-4704-908c-b0aad267e9a6/shu-Gen-Retreat-Signage_1499972936-1440x823-1.jpg Beacon 10-11-24 Beacon Heights Women's Retreat (before the hectic holiday season!)

For some, it's been a brief irritation, and for others, we've truly been through the wringer! With fall coming, that also means that flu and RSV season is quickly on its way! With concern for one another, knowing that there are pre-existing conditions and vulnerabilities among us, please use extra caution if you suspect that you have a communicable illness. Hand disinfectant stations have been placed in the north entrance and fellowship hall, and a large bottle of hand sanitizer will be on the counter outside of the church office. Please wear masks as a precaution when needed. And if you suspect that you are ill, please, please, please stay home. If you have a responsibility -- but that tickle in your throat won't go away or you're coughing or running a fever -- please call someone, and we'll work it out on your behalf. We'll miss you, but we also will appreciate the caution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8833163917ee345919a26d/ef27b55b-6a48-4275-aed8-00e7437feeb9/images.jfif Beacon 10-11-24 Spirit Journey Women Meeting on Wednesday at 12:30 to 2:15 p.m. in the fellowship hall. 12:30 to 1:00 Enjoy your brown bag lunch and visit1:00 to 2:00 Discuss part of a book the group is reading 2:00 to 2:15 Sharing of prayer concerns and closing prayer The first book to discuss is BEING MORTAL by Dr. Atul Gawande.
