From Rebecca

Dear Friends, during college, I spent three months working in Israel through the Experiment in International Living. Half of the time was working at a kibbutz plucking turkeys, the other half at a moshav picking peaches. This time was instrumental in shaping my journey toward ordained Christian ministry. The family who took me in at Moshav Be’er Tuvia had two children, a younger sister and a boy, Moti, who was my age. Their mother was originally from Lithuania and their father from Poland. Both had tattoos on their wrists from their time in Nazi concentration camps. When Moti would ask me what I planned to do when I returned to the U.S., I could only answer, “Well, go back to college.” When I asked him what his plans were, his answer was that he would serve in the military to protect his country. Moti was killed in the Yom Kippur War of 1973/74. As I reflect on that chapter in my life, I realize that his sense of purpose in life gave meaning and purpose not only to me, but also to all who knew him.

In my tradition of sharing writings that have been sent to me because they were meaningful to one of you, I quote Richard Rohr, an American Franciscan priest and writer. He has long wrestled with what it means to be a person of faith.

I am wondering if I have ever understood faith – or if I want it now that I am getting the point. Now I know that faith is not believing-certain-ideas-all-evidence-to-the-contrary. It is not dogged loyalty to childhood conditioning or pledges of allegiance to sacred formulas and official explanations. It is surely not the addictive repetition of rituals or practices that keep God under control. These approaches give the ego comfort, but they give little comfort to truth, and even less to the scary and wonderful coming of the Reign of God.

People of real faith seem able to hold increasing amounts of chaos in one tranquil and ordered life. Faith seems to make people spacious, non-controlling, and waiting in awareness. The faith Jesus praises as salvation (and sufficient in lepers, Samaritans, and those outside the temple system) is something very different than religion as such. It is a capacity within people to contain and receive all things, to hold onto nothing, with almost no need to fear or judge rashly. Faith-filled people find it unnecessary to secure themselves because they are secure at a deeper level; there is room for Another in that spacious place.

Because people of faith are comfortable with the totality, they’re able to hold disparate parts together, make the peace, or “mend the breach.” The recurring temptation is to separate, analyze, and judge the parts, which gives us a sense of control and “understanding.” Faith, driven by love, enables us to give up our need to understand, allows us to let go, and for Someone else to hold us together. It’s not a giving up as much as it is an opening up and refusing to close back down for the sake of self-sufficiency and mastery. If this is indeed the character of faith for postmodern people, or any people, then I finally know why faith is so rare and why Jesus himself wondered if he would find very much on this earth (Luke 18:8).

Today, there seems to be a breach in almost every wall. The “cosmic egg” that seemed to hold us together for a long time is now broken. We now find ourselves engaged in culture wars on almost every personal and social issue. Most of us are beyond being shocked by anything. We are often sad, discouraged, even alienated from the only world we live in. We yearn for breach-menders who can restore our ruined houses (see Isaiah 58:12). We long for great-souled people who can hold the chaos together within themselves – and give us the courage to do the same.

I pray all of us know such people in our lives and that we be granted such people on the world stage. I am confident such people have gone before and paved the way for us – the mystics and saints of all genders, cultures, and faith traditions, those both known and unknown.

As we continue to pray for a peace-filled solution in the Middle East, I think of my friend Moti, his family, and all those who have influenced us on our journeys. May we all become breach-menders. And may we mend the breaches sooner rather than later!

Yours, in faith – Rebecca

The Deacon’s Bench

Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise! – Psalm 95:2

So, yes, I’ll make this November Deacon’s Bench about Thanksgiving. Too easy? Too predictable? Maybe. But I hope to put a unique spin on it for such a unique time in the life of this church community.

When Sandi first introduced me to Central, more than twelve years ago, I was cautiously optimistic. I had been looking for a faith community – for quite a long time – in which I not only felt accepted, but also felt like I truly belonged. I was struck by the genuine warmth and welcome I received. I was rather blown away when Rebecca said, “All are welcome to receive Communion who find meaning therein.” And I found out very quickly that “open and affirming” were not just words but rather a true description of the kind and inclusive culture of this congregation. And, that choir…. Just wow! For this place, this community, this faith family – I am truly thankful!

I’ve come not just to “appreciate” Rebecca as my (our) senior minister; I have come to respect and admire her faith, her wisdom, her deep kindness, and the wonderful meditations and lessons she has shared with us. It has often felt as if she was speaking directly to me, directly to some situation in my life. And, yet, as I would look around the sanctuary during her sermons, I could see that others were engulfed in her messages and stories too. Have I always agreed with her? No, of course not. But the fact that I didn’t “have to” is one of the things that makes Rebecca and Central so very special. I have never known such a gifted preacher – and I fear I may never again. For the incredible blessing of having Rebecca as a teacher, faith leader, and friend, I am so very thankful.

I now have the profound honor of serving as a senior deacon. To be trusted with such responsibility at this critical and transformative time in the life of this church is humbling. I look forward to working with the deacons, clergy, permanent deaconate, and the whole of the congregation to help welcome Reverend and Mrs. Faulhaber – and to assist in any way I can with this transition. For this privilege and opportunity, I am sincerely grateful!

As I count my blessings this Thanksgiving season, Rebecca and the Central family are very near the top of the list. Thank you, Dear Rebecca, from us all. Thank you, Central. Welcome, Patrick and Susannah! Happy Thanksgiving. – Bill Connors

Bring a Friend Sunday

As we prepare to celebrate our warm, wonderful, and musical Festival Service of Thanksgiving, it is a perfect time to share the Central community with a friend, neighbor, or colleague. Studies show that people are more likely to come to church when someone invites them! So we hope to see you and your friends on Sunday, Nov. 19!

Interfaith Thanksgiving Service

This year Temple Beth-El will host Providence’s Interfaith Thanksgiving Service. The service brings diverse congregations together in thanksgiving, while also celebrating and generating greater understanding of both our differences and similarities. Last year, 14 Providence congregations participated, so bring your friends and neighbors! This is a wonderful opportunity to worship together and give thanks as we reflect on the many gifts we receive as part of a diverse, interfaith community. Tuesday, Nov. 21, at 7 pm, at Temple Beth-El (70 Orchard Avenue, Providence)

Seeking a Church Home?

If you are looking for a church – or know someone who is – we would love to talk with you about it at our Inquirers’ Meeting. It’s very informal. You’ll meet with our senior minister, Rebecca Spencer, and others like you who think Central may be the right church home. No commitment necessary. To join us, fill out a pew card during Sunday Worship or call the Church Office at 401-331-1960, and Rebecca will get in touch.

Inquirers’ Meeting: Tuesday, October 24, 7 pm
Faith Exploration: Wednesday, November 1, 7 pm
New Member Sunday: Sunday, November 5, 10:30 am

New Member Potluck Luncheon

Welcome new members to the Central family during Worship and then stay after for the New Member Potluck Luncheon. The Membership Committee will provide main dishes, but you can enliven the fare by sharing a favorite side dish, casserole, salad, or dessert. Sunday, Nov. 5, after Worship, in Chapel Hall

Community Festival Table

At our Festival Service of Thanksgiving, on Sunday, Nov. 19, the Flower Committee will decorate the chancel and communion table with mums, gourds, pumpkins, fruits, and vegetables. They hope to make the festivities more meaningful by displaying items grown or contributed by Central members and friends. To help, contact Marilyn Edwards or Margaret Gardner. Please place your donations in the boxes provided in the coatroom between Nov. 5 and 12.

Thanksgiving Turkeys Needed!

Central is once again collecting frozen turkeys to donate to a local food bank or soup kitchen. Turkeys should be delivered to the Central Kitchen no later than Wednesday, Nov. 15, 12 noon.

Share Your Thanksgiving

If you would like to share Thanksgiving with other Central members and friends – whether you have extra seats at your table or will be without family this year – please contact the church office. We’ll do a little “matchmaking” for which we all will be grateful.

Still Time to Pledge

Happy Fall from the Stewardship Committee! As the weather begins to change and the days get shorter, the Stewardship Committee would like to remind you that it is never too late to make a pledge for the current fiscal year. Just click on the “Give” tab on our website (www.centralchurch.us); it’s easy and secure. You can also mail in your pledge to the church office or use the tithe.ly app on your smartphone. Please reach out to the Stewardship Committee if you have questions regarding the pledge process.

And save the date for our Second Annual Scavenger Hunt on Sunday, Mar. 3, 2024, after Worship. It’s a great way for all ages to have fun, better connect with Central, and learn unique and interesting facts about our place of worship.

In Memoriam

Our prayers and sympathy are with the family and friends of Mary Hazeltine. A Memorial Service for Mary will be held at Central on Monday, November 20.

Our prayers and sympathy are also with the family and friends of Mary Staples … and the family and friends of Jim Kissack. Requiescat in pace.

Meeting Patrick and Susannah Faulhaber

Senior minister candidate, the Reverend Patrick Faulhaber, and his wife Susannah spent part of the week of Oct. 9 visiting Providence and meeting with the Central community – at a dinner with the Board of Deacons, a “meet and greet” with the congregation, and more. Then on Sunday, Oct. 15, Patrick preached a sermon entitled “Casting Away God’s People.”  (Check out the pdf newsletter to view photos of the week’s events.)

Daily Advent Devotional

Since Central is currently without a youth minister, the Religious Education Committee has looked for ways to provide religious education “by ourselves to ourselves.” This advent, the committee plans to publish a Daily Advent Devotional, so each of us individually can take a moment every day to reflect together and foster our Central community during the four weeks leading up to Christ’s coming.

But we need volunteers to make it happen. The committee will provide a lectionary passage for each day of advent, and are asking Centralites – of all ages, members and non-members, heavily involved churchgoers or sometime attendees – to contribute short reflections, poems, songs, or artwork based on these passages.

Stay tuned for more information, and look for the sign-up sheets during coffee hour. If you have any questions, please contact Religious Education Committee co-chairs Caroline Hunter and Susannah Mozley Hopkins (hunterc@alumni.unc.edu / smozley70@yahoo.com).

Christmas Ornament Painting Party!

On Saturday, Nov, 4, from 10 am to 2 pm, Central will host its first ever Christmas Ornament Painting Party! It’s a great opportunity to make wonderful gifts and keepsakes for your friends, family, and teachers – not to mention ornaments for the Central Christmas Tree as well as your tree at home! We’ll provide the fun, paint, ornaments, and of course some snacks. It may be messy, so bring an old shirt, apron, or painting smock to protect your clothes.

Just like Christmas itself, this event is for children of all ages … and all of their friends! So join us in Chapel Hall – or just come and watch – as we start another tradition rooted in community and the joy of creativity. RSVP to Antonia Greco so we have enough supplies on hand (antonia@centralchurch.us).

CCC Youth Wreath Fundraiser

CCC Youth’s annual sale of hand-decorated Christmas wreaths is the major fundraiser for its summer mission trip. Please consider supporting Central’s youth this endeavor. There are many ways to help.

Order your wreath(s) any Sunday in November in Chapel Hall during coffee hour. We’ll have a sample you can see, and ribbon options from which to choose. Your order will be ready for pick-up on Sunday, Dec. 3, after worship during Christmas at Central.

Donate pinecones! As you are cleaning your yard, walking your dog, leaf peeping, etc., please gather any pinecones you encounter and drop them off in the gift-wrapped box labeled “Cones for Youth Group” in Chapel Hall. The more cones we collect, the fewer we must buy. Dry cones of any size or type (pine, spruce, hemlock, fir) are welcome – and needed – no later than Monday, Nov. 27.

Help create wreaths on Saturday, Dec. 2 from 11 am to 1 pm. We’ll transform the Makepeace Room into a Christmas workshop with carols, snacks, and all sorts of crafty fun with glue guns, pinecones, and ribbons. All ages are welcome. (Children should be accompanied by an adult.) Help us make the magic happen!

Work at our Christmas at Central booth on Sunday, Dec. 2, 12 noon to 1:30 pm.

To order a wreath, sign up to help, or ask a question, contact Larry Kellam at larry_kellam@waters.com

The Angel Tree

Help create a Merry Christmas for children in DCYF care. Our Angel Giving Tree will be in the coatroom on the first Sunday of Advent – Dec. 3 – full of names of children and teens who could use some love and a few extra smiles this Christmas. Choose a tag from the tree. Each bears a child’s name, age, and gender. Select a thoughtful, age-appropriate gift. Wrap your gift, write the contents on back of the original tag, and attach it. Then, deliver your gift back to the Angel Tree. We thank you for helping share God’s love!

From Claudia

In this season of giving thanks in all sorts of ways, we have so very much to be grateful for at Central Congregational Church. We have the blessings of being part of this community of faithful people who care for one another in deeply profound ways. We have the blessings of having Rebecca Spencer as our senior minister in this place for 35 years as we shower blessings upon her in her retirement. We have the blessings of all who sit in our pews from the very youngest to our eldest. We have the blessing of offering ourselves and this church to those looking for a safe harbor in a world that can be anything but safe. Yes. We have so much for which we give thanks.

This month, when we sing Patrick Aiken’s wonderful hymn “Thanks We Bring,” let us do so with grateful praise. Let us truly thank God with our hearts and voices for the gifts of life and love, of community and faith. Like the psalmist from so long ago, let us declare “O God, I will give thanks to you forever!” In the more contemporary version, The Message Bible proclaims, “I’m about to burst with song; I can’t keep quiet about you. God, my God, I can’t thank you enough.” (Psalm 30:12)

May we here at Central burst forth with words and song this month, praising all that God has graciously done. And may our prayers continually accompany those around us, as well as those whom we will never meet. May we sing our praises to the One who created us and will sustain us now and forevermore.

As for me, I perpetually give thanks for each and every one of you – the embodiment of Christ’s love in this world that so desperately needs it.

With grateful thanksgiving – Claudia

Fall Church Cleanup

Come one, come all – young and not so young – to help us Keep Central Beautiful! This month, we’ll be preparing our church building and grounds for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. You’ll clean and rake, dust and organize, deepen friendships and start new ones – on what will hopefully be a beautiful fall weekend. Please send your project ideas as well as any supply needs to church administrator Antonia Greco (antonia@centralchurch.us). When you arrive, we’ll have everything you need – as well as coffee, doughnuts, and plenty of good cheer! Saturday, Nov. 18, 9 am to 12 noon. And if you can’t stay the entire morning, please contribute whatever time you can!

2024/25 Committee Budgets

Attention, all committee chairs! The year is racing by, and the Finance Committee needs your committees’ budget requests for 2024/25! These help Finance establish a tentative annual church budget and gives the Stewardship Committee its target goals for Central’s annual pledge campaign. You can find your current committee budget in the 2023/24 Annual Report published last June.

The Finance Committee must receive your budget request no later than Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2024, at 5 pm. Questions? Contact Donna Chace-Larson, Finance Committee Chair. Thanks for all your hard work. We look forward to hearing what your committee has planned for the coming year!

Buy Nothing Day

It’s time again to clean out your closets for the 2023 Buy Nothing Day coat exchange, which provides winter wear for adults and children free of charge. The annual event will be held on the Statehouse Lawn on Friday, Nov. 24. We need coats, jackets, and sweaters heavy enough to be worn as outer garments – as well as the all-important accessories: hats, scarves, gloves, and mittens. All items should be gently used and clean … or brand new.

Please drop off coats, etc., in the far-left pews of Wilson Chapel during the first three weeks of November. Just follow the signs. Donations will be picked up the week before Thanksgiving. For more information, log onto ricoatexchange.org.

Adult Sunday School

This month, we’ll continue our study of C.S. Lewis – beloved author of “The Chronicles of Narnia” and other fiction and nonfiction – and his journey from avowed atheist to a “most reluctant convert” whose faith profoundly affected his work. Contact Claudia with any questions. Sunday, Nov. 5 and 12, 9 am, in the Fireplace Room (No class Nov. 19 and 26.)

Wellness Workshops

Central’s friend and neighbor, Dr. Saira Hussain, is hosting a series of community-based, holistic-living workshops. Every session will bring together people from all walks of life to share experiences and tips for living healthier, more positive lives. Details of each workshop are still to come. To participate, text Dr. Hussain at 401-405-6482. Wednesday, Nov. 8 and 22, 10 am, in Chapel Hall

Food for Thought Book Group

All are welcome to join Claudia’s book group for a discussion of “The Hero of This Book,” by award-winning author Elizabeth McCracken. This taut, groundbreaking novel is about a writer’s relationship with her larger-than-life mother – and about the very nature of writing, memory, and art. We’ll also briefly discuss “Yellen: The Trailblazing Economist,” by Jon Hilsenrath. Thursday, Nov. 9, 7 pm, in the Fireplace Room

Women Gather

We had so much fun last June, we’ve decided to return to Providence’s fully restored 1940s soda fountain! For made-to-order ice cream floats, malteds, shakes, sodas, sundaes, egg creams, and phosphates. Ingredients are all-natural and organic – plus there are vegan and dairy-free options. All come with a healthy serving of nostalgia! Sunday, Nov. 12, 12 noon, at the Green Line Apothecary (905 North Main Street, Providence).

Central Men’s Group

Open to all ages, Central Men’s Group is a monthly breakfast gathering – held on the third Thursday of each month – for fellowship and spirited conversation on topics ranging from current events and ethics to trends and shared experiences. Questions? Contact John Trevor. Thursday, Nov. 16, 7:30 am, in the Fireplace Room

Rebecca’s Book Group

Rebecca’s Book Group will discuss “Differ We Must: How Lincoln Succeeded in a Divided America,” by journalist / historian Steve Inskeep. This book explores the political acumen of Abraham Lincoln via 16 encounters before and during his presidency, bringing to light not only the strategy of a great politician who inherited a country divided, but lessons for our own disorderly present. Thursday, Nov. 16, 12:30 pm, in the Fireplace Room

Congratulations, Citizen Charlotte!

Back in 2016, Central proudly welcomed Charlotte Mupenzi and her family into the Central community as they emigrated from the Congo to Rhode Island. Now, seven years later, Centralites were on hand to applaud Charlotte as she took the Oath of Naturalization and became a citizen of the United States of America!

Please Wear Your Name Tag!

It really does help guests feel more welcome. And you’ll get to know your fellow 
Centralites even better.

In the Gallery

This month, the Gallery presents Jennifer Jones Rashleigh: Acrylics on Canvas.

Jennifer’s work is inspired by wildlife and wild places. She is mesmerized by water: the curling power of a barrel wave or the contemplative serenity of a sunset over slack tide. Captivated by the noble grandeur of natural diversity, Jennifer adjusts her palette and method accordingly. Every painting of birds, fish, botanicals, beach scenes and landscapes are lively meditations that focus her technique.

Jennifer paints with acrylics in every capacity – diluted washes, translucent gel coats, brushed, spilled, poured, knifed, dragged opacities, and thickly pulled impasto textures lifting off the canvas – to exploit the dexterity of the medium.

Jennifer has been creating art since childhood. She holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in art history and history from the University of Colorado, Boulder – and did her doctoral work at Brown University and as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar in Spain. From 1982 to 2001, Jennifer researched and taught art history. Her academic work in art theory, Italian Renaissance, and Spanish Golden Age painting have enriched her application of history and technique.

Meet the artist at the Gallery opening reception on Friday, Nov. 17, 5 to 7 pm

Friday Film Fare

In “The Fallen Idol,” Philippe (incomparable child actor Bobby Henrey), son of the ambassador of an unnamed country, lives in the embassy in London and idolizes the ever-competent butler Baines (Ralph Richardson). But a tragic accident misinterpreted as criminal leads the boy in a misguided attempt to protect his idol – with each lie making the innocent seem increasingly guilty. An utter gem from master director Carol Reed and screenwriter Graham Greene (adapted from a Greene short story), “The Fallen Idol” blends suspense, whimsy and the-adult-world-seen-through-a-child’s-eyes into an unforgettable tale. Join host Jim Silverthorn on Friday, Nov. 17, at 7:30 pm, in the Fireplace Room. [95 minutes, B&W, not rated, 1948]

Celebrating Rebecca!

You’re invited! We will be celebrating The Reverend Rebecca L. Spencer on her retirement, Nov. 19, 2023 at 11:45 am. Please join us.

Poetry Corner: Rebecca – A Lifelong Learner

For 35 years you have baptized and married us
Comforted and buried us
Welcomed and guided us
With wise sermons, you’ve provided us
You have inspired us with your calm intellect and spirit glad
Through Scripture, taught us good from bad
Led us to Communion
The Lord’s Supper and community union
Communion with nature
And the lovely cattle in your pasture
Your vision helped renew Chapel Hall
A welcome change admired by all
Our faith journey strengthened because of you
And now another path you are about to pursue
A new road to contentment and joy in the everyday
Lowing cattle, books galore, other adventures to explore
So as you begin this new journey, never forget
Our love and gratitude.
We are forever in your debt.

– Charrel Maxwell
