From Pastor Molly: how we see each other
Today, I spent some time talking with a homeless man who came by the church office. At the end of a long conversation in which he did most of the talking, he smiled. "Thanks for listening," he said. "It helps lift my load to be able to talk this through."
His words were encouragement I needed to hear; too often, when I spend time listening to people who come to the church in search of help, I just feel frustrated that I'm not able to fix what's really wrong.
Today, I was reminded that part of the gift we have to give is to simply receive one another as children of God. I think we all long to be seen and treated with dignity. To be heard. Theologian Nelle Morton described the hold work of "hearing into speech" those whose stories have been silenced. This is radical: rather than speaking up on behalf of others, we get to make space for their own voices.
This week, as we contemplate the "Now What?" of the Easter season, we turn to look at how our Christian values are lived out in society. We are called to treat one another with dignity, whether we are housed or homeless. We are asked to work to overcome racism, sexism, ageism and oppression in all forms. These problems aren't just about individual behaviors--they have more dangerous power than that because of the way they have become embedded in so many places and systems. We are called to see and hear and be changed by one another.
For me, this week, this work starts as I take time to reflect on how I treat everyone I see; to check the expectations and assumptions I've made of others, and to challenge myself to move beyond them. In preparation for Sunday, I invite you to join me in this self-reflection.
grace and peace,
Pastor Molly
The themes of this series are borrowed from the sections of our United Methodist Social Principles, which you can read online. They speak to a wide range of social issues, and invite us to consider what our faith has to say to issues of our time. There's lots of space in our church for people to think differently on all these issues, but I look forward to opening up opportunities for us to pray, think and talk about what Jesus' gospel has to say to the challenges we face today.

"Now What? Overcome Racism"
Rev. Molly Vetter, preaching
1 John 4:7-21
Scripture Text: 1 John 4:7 Beloved friends, let us love one another; because love is from God; and everyone who loves has God as his Father and knows God. 8 Those who do not love, do not know God; because God is love. 9 Here is how God showed his love among us: God sent his only Son into the world, so that through him we might have life. 10 Here is what love is: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the kapparah for our sins.
11 Beloved friends, if this is how God loved us, we likewise ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God remains united with us, and our love for him has been brought to its goal in us. 13 Here is how we know that we remain united with him and he with us: he has given to us from his own Spirit. 14 Moreover, we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent his Son as Deliverer of the world. 15 If someone acknowledges that Yeshua is the Son of God, God remains united with him, and he with God. 16 Also we have come to know and trust the love that God has for us. God is love; and those who remain in this love remain united with God, and God remains united with them.
17 Here is how love has been brought to maturity with us: as the Messiah is, so are we in the world. This gives us confidence for the Day of Judgment. 18 There is no fear in love. On the contrary, love that has achieved its goal gets rid of fear, because fear has to do with punishment; the person who keeps fearing has not been brought to maturity in regard to love.
19 We ourselves love now because he loved us first. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar. For if a person does not love his brother, whom he has seen, then he cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 21 Yes, this is the command we have from him: whoever loves God must love his brother too.
[7] Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
Let us love one another — From the doctrine he has just been defending he draws this exhortation. It is by the Spirit that the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts. Every one that truly loveth God and his neighbour is born of God.
Verse 8
[8] He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
God is love — This little sentence brought St. John more sweetness, even in the time he was writing it, than the whole world can bring. God is often styled holy, righteous, wise; but not holiness, righteousness, or wisdom in the abstract, as he is said to be love; intimating that this is his darling, his reigning attribute, the attribute that sheds an amiable glory on all his other perfections.
Verse 12
[12] No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
If we love one another, God abideth in us — This is treated of, 1 John 4:13-16.
And his love is perfected — Has its full effect.
In us — This is treated of, 1 John 4:17-19.
Verse 14
[14] And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
And in consequence of this we have seen and testify that the Father sent the Son - These are the foundation and the criteria of our abiding in God and God in us, the communion of the Spirit, and the confession of the Son.
Verse 15
[15] Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
Whosoever shall, from a principle of loving faith, openly confess in the face of all opposition and danger, that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him.
Verse 16
[16] And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
And we know and believe — By the same Spirit, the love that God hath to us.
Verse 17
[17] Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Hereby — That is, by this communion with God.
Is our love made perfect; that we may — That is, so that we shall have boldness in the day of judgment - When all the stout-hearted shall tremble.
Because as he — Christ.
Is — All love.
So are we — Who are fathers in Christ, even in this world.
Verse 18
[18] There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
There is no fear in love — No slavish fear can be where love reigns. But perfect, adult love casteth out slavish fear: because such fear hath torment - And so is inconsistent with the happiness of love. A natural man has neither fear nor love; one that is awakened, fear without love; a babe in Christ, love and fear; a father in Christ, love without fear.
Verse 19
[19] We love him, because he first loved us.
We love him, because he first loved us — This is the sum of all religion, the genuine model of Christianity. None can say more: why should any one say less, or less intelligibly?
Verse 20
[20] If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
Whom he hath seen — Who is daily presented to his senses, to raise his esteem, and move his kindness or compassion toward him.
Verse 21
[21] And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
And this commandment have we from him — Both God and Christ.
That he who loveth God love his brother — Every one, whatever his opinions or mode of worship be, purely because he is the child, and bears the image, of God. Bigotry is properly the want of this pure and universal love. A bigot only loves those who embrace his opinions, and receive his way of worship; and he loves them for that, and not for Christ's sake
Scripture Text: 1 John 4:7 Beloved friends, let us love one another; because love is from God; and everyone who loves has God as his Father and knows God. 8 Those who do not love, do not know God; because God is love. 9 Here is how God showed his love among us: God sent his only Son into the world, so that through him we might have life. 10 Here is what love is: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the kapparah for our sins.

(Chancel Choir) "From A Distance"
From a distance the world looks blue and green
And the snow capped mountains white
From a distance the ocean meets the stream
And the eagle takes to flight
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope
It's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man
From a distance we all have enough
And no one is in need
And there are no guns, no bombs and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance we are instruments
Marching in a common band
Playing songs of hope
Playing songs of peace
They are the songs of every man
God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
From a distance you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
What all this fightings for
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And it's the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
It's the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
This is the song for every man
God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
God is watching us
God is watching
God is watching us from a distance

I attended last Sunday's “Blessing of the Animals” and was surprised to see that most animal owners were adults. Yes, there were a few students with their pets, but it looked as if the about thirty animals were mostly owned by adults. Scriptures and readings, including prayers were read together as I noticed the (mostly dogs) pets were keeping their eyes on their owners, rather than other pets, with nearly no barking or growling to upset anyone. At the end animal cookies were available and the two I ate were delicious. The event seemed...

As an aside, my friend from St. Cross Episcopal Church in Hermosa Beach said they had their Blessing the Animals in January inside the sanctuary with one rule: dogs on the left, cats on the right, thus avoiding trouble.
In case you didn't hear it, our church pot-luck following worship is next Sunday, May 7, so plan on bringing your special dish of food and enjoying great fellowship with others, some of whom you may not know yet.
Have you given your support to the Baja Mission Project yet? They have various people taking donations or requesting items for the trip, which is July 1 through 8 this year. Stop by their tables after worship.
Last Sunday's service had Pastor Molly talking about The Blue Marble, a term not heard until the photos from satellites in outer space were shown. Other things that happened to me because of the satellites and their photos... I could see exactly where I was during World War II while stationed in Greenland at an electronic navigation Loran site. I knew we were in Southwest Greenland but the satellite showed me we were exactly at the Southwest tip of mainland Greenland. Everything South, which we thought was mainland, turned out to be islands! Well, live and learn

Potluck Lunch: Sunday May 7
Join us in Fellowship Hall for a Church Potluck after 10:30 worship on Sunday, May 7! Bring a dish to share. This is a great chance to meet new people and reconnect with old friends. Everyone's welcome.
Another Way to Make Your Donation to Church: Give Stock
The smart phone and internet age has supplemented the familiar offering basket for many contributions to our church. Another helpful way is available.
Did you know that the church has two brokerage accounts that can accept transfers of stock? One account is for the Endowment Fund and the other is for general church finance use. The accounts are managed by Ashland Investment Advisors for our church. They are monitored by the Endowment Committee and Finance Committee. The donation of stock can be a win-win for donor and church. The value of the stock at the time of transfer is eligible for a charity tax deduction and no capital gain is taxed on appreciated stock. The church is not subject to income tax and can sell the stock to support its programs and mission, or retain the stock for possible future dividends or appreciation. The donor can also designate at the time of transfer portions of the gift to different church programs.
To arrange a transfer contact the church for instructions. Finance Committee or Endowment Committee members can help.
Young Parents\Young Adult Shindig
You know, there's two very similar groups at church that typically remain separate.
On May 6, they finally come together! Adults in their 20s and 30s with and without children are having a get-together at church! We'll eat together as adults, we'll play board games, we'll have (vaguely) adult conversations, and we'll have child care available for parents. EVEN THE KIDS WILL HAVE FUN!

Baja Fundraising: Over Halfway There!
Our church is sending 21 people on Baja Mission 2017. Everyone was so generous during the Taco Fundraiser that we're over halfway to our fundraising goal!
We'll start selling Baja Stock the week after Easter, so watch for our table!
This trip helps vulnerable people in the San Quintin Valley, and sometimes it even helps those who go. Come support us!
Still Need to Raisel: $2,633

Want to help with Welcome Team?
The Welcome Team at church helps make sure visitors can find their way around, and get to know our church a little bit. It's also one of the more fun groups of people at our church!
Are you interested in being part of that? The Welcome Team is looking for volunteers who can help about once a month between the two services and/or immediately after the 10:30 service. They promise to train you, give you the information you need ("uhm...what Children go to which classrooms?") and make this easy!
If you'd like to volunteer, or ask questions, email our Welcome Team!

Have an Old Camera to Donate?
Do you have an older digital camera sitting in a drawer somewhere you would be willing to donate to the Baja Mission 2017 trip? If it still works, we've got a great use for it!
The Baja trip will teach an Arts camp to elementary school children in a community of migrants, and we've got an idea for a photography class.
If you've got one to donate (you won't get this camera back), please drop it off in the church office, or email Stephen with questions! Thanks!
The Peninsula/Harbor CROP walk started about 30 years ago as a 10 mile walk. It's a shorter walk today but the mission hasn't changed; feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, comfort the aged, shelter the homeless. Church World Service is one of nine agencies helping resettle refugees in the USA.
Our own Shared Bread program has been a fortunate beneficiary of Crop Walk. for many years.
We can make a difference showing our love & compassion for those with no home, those fleeing war and those less fortunate.
Church World Service's CROP walk gives us that opportunity. This year's walk at the South Coast Botanic Gardens, Saturday, May 13, 10am to 2pm, is an event to show how much we care. It is also a wonderful opportunity for families and individuals to enjoy this beautiful garden for free. A family of 4 could save $30 by doing the CROP walk and consider donating that amount or more to CROP/CWS' continued support of those in need. Would you consider joining our walk team and/or making a donation? Our team name is "First Redondo UMC."
Book Club reading: The Uncommon Reader
Our Book Club will meet at church on Tuesday, May 16, at 7:30 pm. (Note the time change, please.) The book selection for discussion will be “The Uncommon Reader,” by Alan Bennett, a short humorous fiction about the Queen of England discovering the joy of reading, after one of her pet Corgis strays into a bookmobile. For more information on our club, contact Ann Gallagher.

Coming at Church
For the 6 weeks after Easter, we will focus on the big ideas that connect our faith to current issues and social concerns.
Sermon Series After Easter: Now What?
We've celebrated Easter resurrection: now what?
Now we get to live our faith in resurrection, by
- loving our neighbors,
- loving the earth,
- caring for the poor,
- welcoming refugees,
- standing against racism,
- speaking up,
- welcoming and including everyone...
Politics of Jesus Class
Come to find out, careful study of the Historical Jesus teaches us a lot about how to live in the modern world.
Starting April 30, Stephen will teach a five-week class between services on the historical context of Jesus, and how that guides our action in the world today.
Consider attending if you are interested in the historical Jesus, following Jesus in the modern world, understanding your Bible better, or the Social Principles of the United Methodist Church!
Sundays at 9:30 in Epworth Lounge Click here for more information!
Potluck Lunch: Sunday May 7
Join us in Fellowship Hall for a Church Potluck after 10:30 worship on Sunday, May 7! Bring a dish to share. This is a great chance to meet new people and reconnect with old friends. Everyone's welcome.
Another Way to Make Your Donation to Church: Give Stock
The smart phone and internet age has supplemented the familiar offering basket for many contributions to our church. Another helpful way is available.
Did you know that the church has two brokerage accounts that can accept transfers of stock? One account is for the Endowment Fund and the other is for general church finance use. The accounts are managed by Ashland Investment Advisors for our church. They are monitored by the Endowment Committee and Finance Committee. The donation of stock can be a win-win for donor and church. The value of the stock at the time of transfer is eligible for a charity tax deduction and no capital gain is taxed on appreciated stock. The church is not subject to income tax and can sell the stock to support its programs and mission, or retain the stock for possible future dividends or appreciation. The donor can also designate at the time of transfer portions of the gift to different church programs.
To arrange a transfer contact the church for instructions. Finance Committee or Endowment Committee members can help.
Young Parents\Young Adult Shindig
You know, there's two very similar groups at church that typically remain separate.
On May 6, they finally come together! Adults in their 20s and 30s with and without children are having a get-together at church! We'll eat together as adults, we'll play board games, we'll have (vaguely) adult conversations, and we'll have child care available for parents. EVEN THE KIDS WILL HAVE FUN!
Click here for more info! (RSVP required for childcare)
Our church is sending 21 people on Baja Mission 2017. Everyone was so generous during the Taco Fundraiser that we're over halfway to our fundraising goal!
We'll start selling Baja Stock the week after Easter, so watch for our table!
This trip helps vulnerable people in the San Quintin Valley, and sometimes it even helps those who go. Come support us!
Still Need to Raisel: $2,633

Want to help with Welcome Team?
The Welcome Team at church helps make sure visitors can find their way around, and get to know our church a little bit. It's also one of the more fun groups of people at our church!
Are you interested in being part of that? The Welcome Team is looking for volunteers who can help about once a month between the two services and/or immediately after the 10:30 service. They promise to train you, give you the information you need ("uhm...what Children go to which classrooms?") and make this easy!
If you'd like to volunteer, or ask questions, email our Welcome Team!
Join us for an ALL-CHURCH PICNIC on Sunday, May 21, starting at 12:15pm!

Bring a side dish or dessert to share--
Our youth will grill hot dogs
(and take donations for their summer mission trip)!

Have an Old Camera to Donate?
Do you have an older digital camera sitting in a drawer somewhere you would be willing to donate to the Baja Mission 2017 trip? If it still works, we've got a great use for it!
The Baja trip will teach an Arts camp to elementary school children in a community of migrants, and we've got an idea for a photography class.
If you've got one to donate (you won't get this camera back), please drop it off in the church office, or email Stephen with questions! Thanks!
The Peninsula/Harbor CROP walk started about 30 years ago as a 10 mile walk. It's a shorter walk today but the mission hasn't changed; feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, comfort the aged, shelter the homeless. Church World Service is one of nine agencies helping resettle refugees in the USA.
Our own Shared Bread program has been a fortunate beneficiary of Crop Walk. for many years.
We can make a difference showing our love & compassion for those with no home, those fleeing war and those less fortunate.
Church World Service's CROP walk gives us that opportunity. This year's walk at the South Coast Botanic Gardens, Saturday, May 13, 10am to 2pm, is an event to show how much we care. It is also a wonderful opportunity for families and individuals to enjoy this beautiful garden for free. A family of 4 could save $30 by doing the CROP walk and consider donating that amount or more to CROP/CWS' continued support of those in need. Would you consider joining our walk team and/or making a donation? Our team name is "First Redondo UMC."
Our Book Club will meet at church on Tuesday, May 16, at 7:30 pm. (Note the time change, please.) The book selection for discussion will be “The Uncommon Reader,” by Alan Bennett, a short humorous fiction about the Queen of England discovering the joy of reading, after one of her pet Corgis strays into a bookmobile. For more information on our club, contact Ann Gallagher.

This week, we welcome guest conductor and singer Aleta Braxton, who is filling in for me while I’m visiting my daughter in Europe. I met Aleta (who was named after Queen Aleta in the Prince Valiant comic strip) in the fall of 1983, when I was a member of Disneyland’s Dickens Carolers and she was the leader. We carpooled to Anaheim a lot that season and have been friends and colleagues ever since. She performed in LA Opera's 1986 inaugural production of Otello (as did I), has appeared in more than 130 productions and was a soloist in Porgy and Bess and Oklahoma. She toured as a soloist with the Roger Wagner Chorale and McNeil Jubilee Singers and has sung with the LA Master Chorale for 30 seasons as...

Her long list of film soundtracks include Star Wars VIII - The Last Jedi, The Jungle Book, Frozen, Creed, Amistad and TV appearances such as Malcom in the Middle, The Crazy Ones, Transparent and Glee. Ms. Braxton has also directed productions for Lyric Opera of Los Angeles including the West Coast premiere of Wagner's first opera Die Feen. She has sung on recordings for Disney and the LA Master Chorale as well as recordings with Christina Aguilera and Barbra Streisand. In addition to singing, Ms. Braxton performs voice-overs and teaches workshops. She is currently the choir director for New Hope Lutheran Church in Agoura Hills and is on the cantoring staff at St. Charles Borromeo in North Hollywood.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is another of history's most renowned composers. Born in 1756, he was a true prodigy and his father Leopold, a composer and music teacher, began teaching him pieces on the harpsichord at the age of 4, and he picked them up and played them flawlessly. By the age of 5, he was composing small pieces that his father wrote down, including, believe it or not, the tune we all know as Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (he wrote it as a Theme and Variations!). By the time he was 5, his father had begun taking him and his older sister, Nannerl, on concert tours as child prodigies, and he composed his first symphony when he was 8. On one such trip to Rome when he was 14, he heard Gregorio Allegri's choral work Miserere, a closely guarded Vatican treasure of the Sistine Chapel Choir, and wrote it out from memory. Instead of being excommunicated, as was the required punishment, the Pope was so impressed that he gave Mozart a commendation. He met Joseph Haydn in 1784, and they became friends, occasionally playing together in an impromptu string quartet (a string quartet jam session). Ultimately, he went on to write over 600 pieces of music during his short life, many of which are considered to be pinnacles of symphonic, concert, chamber, operatic and vocal music. The movie Amadeus, adapted from the stage play, creates a fictional story around his relationship with composer Antonio Salieri (who, in real life, was one of the few who attended his burial) and the writing of the Requiem, which he never finished (that story is indeed fiction). The most recent hypothesis regarding the cause of his death in 1791 is a severe kidney ailment, which probably could have been resolved by him drinking a lot of water (but the medical technology of the time was to bleed him with leeches).
Ave Verum Corpus is a short motet for choir and strings that Mozart wrote for his friend Anton Stoll, who was the musical coordinator for the parish of St. Stephan in the town of Baden Bei Wien, near Vienna. The year was 1791 (6 months before his death), and he was in the middle of writing his opera Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), while his wife, Constanza, pregnant with their 6th child, was staying at a spa in Baden. Exquisitely beautiful, it is considered to be one of the most perfect pieces of music ever written.
From A Distance was written in 1987 by American singer-songwriter Julie Gold, who was working as a secretary for Home Box Office and writing songs in her spare time. It was recorded initially by Nanci Griffith in 1987 on her album Lone Star State Of Mind. It was also recorded by Judy Collins in 1989 and by the Byrds in 1990. But it wasn't until it was recorded by Bette Midler in 1990 that it became a commercial hit. It went to #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart, peaked at #2 on Billboard's Hot 100 and went on to win a Grammy for Song of the Year in 1991.
Next week, the Youth Band, under the expert supervision of Brad Taylor, will be leading us in worship. It's always inspiring to hear those young musicians taking the reins and leading our music.
