Risa Vargas, our Director of Children and Family Ministries, will be preaching this Sunday. I'm excited for the church to get a chance to hear her as preacher; she shares her gifts regularly in conversation with our children, but has such a deep, thoughtful faith and creative spirit that resonate with all ages. I'm grateful that she is willing to share her gifts in this way. My friend and colleague, Rev. Darin Arntson, will be here in worship, too, to preside at the communion table. I am grateful for her willingness to lead in worship, especially because of her deep love for liturgy and the sacrament of communion.
Ideally, in our worship and church life, all sorts of people get opportunities to share their passions and gifts. The life of faith is not something that should be left to a few designated leaders: it belongs to us all!
The reason we do this all, after all, is because our lives are changed by the love of God. God's love and grace change us, expanding our circle of care far beyond ourselves. God's love draws us into community with all the world and with God, giving us a place in the work of sharing that same transformative love with a world in need.
grace and peace,
Pastor Molly
I will be away this Sunday, on vacation for the weekend. I'll be back in the office Monday!
In Worship This WeekSunday, April 29:
Psalm 46
Risa Vargas preaching
Psalm 46:1 (0) For the leader. By the descendants of Korach. On ‘alamot [high-pitched musical instruments?]. A song:
2 (1) God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
3 (2) Therefore we are unafraid,
even if the earth gives way,
even if the mountains tumble
into the depths of the sea,
4 (3) even if its waters rage and foam,
and mountains shake at its turbulence. (Selah)
5 (4) There is a river whose streams
gladden the city of God,
the holy habitation of ‘Elyon —
6 (5) God is in the city.
It will not be moved —
when daybreak comes, God will help it.
7 (6) Nations were in turmoil,
kingdoms were moved;
his voice thundered forth,
and the earth melted away.
8 (7) Adonai-Tzva’ot is with us,
our fortress, the God of Ya‘akov. (Selah)
9 (8) Come and see the works of Adonai,
the astounding deeds he has done on the earth.
10 (9) To the ends of the earth he makes wars cease —
he breaks the bow, snaps the spear,
burns the shields in the fire.
11 (10) “Desist, and learn that I am God,
supreme over the nations,
supreme over the earth.”
12 (11) Adonai-Tzva’ot is with us,
our fortress, the God of Ya‘akov. (Selah)(Complete Jewish Bible).
Psalm 46
Verse 2
[2] Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though — Though there should be nothing but confusion, and desolations round about us: which are often expressed by such metaphors.
Verse 4
[4] There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
A river — This may design the gracious presence, and blessing of the Lord, which is frequently described under the name of waters.
Make glad — Shall not barely preserve it from danger, but give great occasion for rejoicing and thanksgiving.
The city — Jerusalem, the place where God's holy tabernacle is settled.
Verse 7
[7] The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. /*Selah*/.
Raged — Against God, and against his people.
Uttered — He spake to them in his wrath.
The earth — The inhabitants of the earth were consumed.
Verse 8
[8] Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
Desolations — Among those who were vexatious to God's people.
Verse 9
[9] He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
To cease — He hath settled as in a firm and well-grounded peace.
The land — Of Israel: from one end of it to the other.
The bow — The bows and spears, and chariots of their enemies.
Verse 11
[11] The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. /*Selah*/.
Be still — Stir no more against my people.
God — The only true and almighty God; your gods are but dumb and impotent idols.
Exalted — I will make myself glorious by my great and wonderful works.(John Wesley’s Explanatory Notes).

"That'll Do" by Randy Newman (from Babe), sung by Ed Zajac.
A kind and steady heart can make a grey sky blue,
And a task that seems impossible, is quite possible for you.
A kind and steady heart, is sure to see you through.
It may not seem like very much right now,
It'll do, it'll do.
When you find yourself in the middle of a storm,
And you're tired and cold and wet,
And you're looking for a place that's cozy and warm,
You'll make it; you can never forget!
A kind and steady heart, can conquer doubt and fear.
A little courage goes a long, long way,
Gets you a little bit farther down the road each day,
And before you know it, you'll hear someone say,
"That'll do, Babe, that'll do."
A kind and steady heart, is sure to see you through.
A little courage goes a long, long way,
Gets you a little bit farther down the road each day,
And before you know it, you'll hear someone say,
"That'll do, that'll do, that'll do, Babe, that'll do."

Today is the fifth Sunday of April, which began with a bang, Easter Sunday, April 1st. It's not often that April will have five Sundays, but today's the last one and we conclude with a 3pm afternoon musical concert presented by our Friends of Music, led by Director of Music, Jim Raycroft. With him at the helm, you know it has to be good, so plan on Sunday's afternoon of Chamber Music which has been one of my special types of enjoyable music.
April has been a series of great sermons by our outstanding Pastor, Molly Vetter, covering sayings that sound like biblical passages, but wait, who knew? Pastor Molly delved into these phrases with a vengeance, challenging anyone to prove that, yes, they were from the bible. So, if you think "God helps those who help themselves," think again, and again. It may be true sometimes, but not always.
Another saying, not from our Bible, is that May brings us May Flowers. Which reminds me, do you thank those who pay for and dedicate flowers in our sanctuary each Sunday? Often, they are remembering someone or even honoring someone. Recently the Sunday flowers near the altar were in honor of our church friends and Saints. What a great way to say thanks to everyone in the church for being here, worshiping together and supporting each other.
May 2018 may bring flowers, but our church calendar indicates a busy, busy schedule. Read it and join in our active and full church life, which may include all days of the week, not just Sundays. I stopped by the church office on a whim last Tuesday and saw it locked with a note saying they would be back by 2:15 PM. My watch said 2:20 PM, so, not wanting to wait, I just left. My reason for stopping was just that I wanted to say hello, nothing important. Do you ever feel the urge to stop by the office just to say hello and let them know you are thinking about our church during the week?
Chamber Music by the BeachPlease join us on Sunday, April 29 at 3pm for a free concert of chamber music, featuring students from California State University-Northridge. We are pleased to welcome these excellent student musicians to our beautiful sanctuary to share in an afternoon of music. All are welcome.
A free-will offering will be collected to support the music ministries of our church through our Friends of Music fund.

Church Potluck: May 6
Join us for a church potluck on Sunday, May 6, following the 10:30am worship service. All are welcome. Please bring a dish to share. (You can bring washable dishes from home to use, or use the disposable ones we will have available!)
This series is based on Adam Hamilton's book, "Half Truths: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn't Say."Half-Truths: Sermon Series after Easter
They are simple phrases. They sound Christian—like something you might find in the Bible. We’ve all heard these words. Maybe we’ve said them. They capture some element of truth, yet they miss the point in important ways.
Join us for a sermon series that tackles some common Christian clichés that don't get it all right:
God won’t give you more than you can handle.
God said it, I believe it, that settles it.
This five-week sermon series continues to May 6!
Half-Truths: The Small Group
Join us Thursdays from 7-8pm in May Day Parlor, through May 10.
Go deeper in conversation, and connect to others in community with our 5-week "Half-Truths" small group. We'll talk about the ideas from Pastor Molly's sermon and Adam Hamilton's book. Led by Liz Gyori.

It was wonderful having Sharon, Ilysia and Matt join us for a morning of inspiring music last Sunday. It was a huge amount of work, especially for Sharon, who re-wrote most of her music to fit the resources (i.e. the musicians) we have, but it was a resounding success. We also need to acknowledge Audrey, who took time out the day before the service to go to a rehearsal at Sharon’s house with Ilysia to figure out what they were going to do. The next Composer Sunday will be June 10th, and will feature the music of another wonderful local composer, Sean McDermott. Sean is a singer and organist who I first met in the LA Master Chorale.

As a practicing Catholic, he writes most of his music for the Catholic Church, music that is some of the most beautiful and melodic stuff I have ever heard, and features the organ (Eileen will be with us at the organ that Sunday to cover for MaryAnn, who will be out of town). One of the highlights of that service will be the world premiere of a piece that he wrote for his Dad, and which has never been performed.
Godspell began its life as the Master's thesis of John Tebelak in 1970 at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. It was performed by members of the CMU theatre department and then continued in a 2 week run at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, where it was brought to the attention of a group of theatre producers, including Angela Lansbury's brother Edgar. The producers hired composer Stephen Schwartz, who was also an alumnus of CMU, to write a new song score. He incorporated a variety of musical styles into the score, including pop, rock, gospel and vaudeville. Only one song from the original score, By My Side, was kept in the new score. The new show opened off-Broadway on May 17, 1971 and has continued in various revivals, including a Broadway run from October 13, 2011, to June 24, 2012. The song All Good Gifts is from the end of the 1st act, and has a recorder solo. When Schwartz was asked about this, he wrote, "It was never intended that Jeffrey sing All Good Gifts, as I had written We Beseech Thee for him. But I knew he played the recorder and thought the break in All Good Gifts would be a good opportunity. The "choreography" of that section was patterned after the last shot of Bergman's The Seventh Seal, with the travelling troupe of players dancing along the hillside in silhouette."
That'll Do is a song written by Randy Newman for the movie Babe, Pig In The City in 1998. It was originally recorded by Peter Gabriel, who also sang it live at the Westminster Abbey memorial service for beloved British broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan in 2016. When Sir Terry was a castaway on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs on New Year's Day 2012, it was That'll Do that he chose as his favorite song, saying; "It kind of epitomizes my attitude, which is that the only thing that really matters in the world is kindness".
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee is one of our most familiar hymns, and uses the melody written by Ludwig van Beethoven for the last movement of his 9th Symphony, which we just finished performing at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. For the text, Beethoven used Ode To Joy (An Die Freude in German), an ode written in the summer of 1785 by German playwright, poet and historian Friedrich Schiller. Ironically, despite the lasting popularity of the ode, Schiller himself regarded it as a failure later in his life, going so far as to call it "detached from reality" and "of value maybe for us two, but not for the world, nor for the art of poetry" in an 1800 letter to his long-time friend and patron Christian Gottfried Körner, whose friendship inspired the ode. The poem and lyrics we know in the hymn were written by Henry van Dyke, an author, educator and clergyman who wrote the poem while staying at the home of Williams College President Harry Augustus Garfield in 1907. He told his host that the local Berkshire Mountains were his inspiration. The poem was published in his 1911 Book of Poems. Of this hymn he wrote, "These verses are simple expressions of common Christian feelings and desires in this present time—hymns of today that may be sung together by people who know the thought of the age, and are not afraid that any truth of science will destroy religion, or any revolution on earth overthrow the kingdom of heaven. Therefore this is a hymn of trust and joy and hope."
