The Fourth Spirit
The Last and Unheralded Visitation Upon Ebenezer Scrooge

You have all heard the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, of his miserliness and his horrible attitudes concerning Christmas and of helping the poor. And you have heard about the visitation of three spirits: the ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Future. But what has not been told is that there were actually four visitations that night. I cannot tell you why this fourth visitation has been lost in the annals of time, except to say that this Fourth Spirit is not as noisy or pushy as the other spirits, but generally stays in the background, often behind the curtains, so to speak. While his story is central to Christmas, it is told quietly, and it is often forgotten.

The spirit of Christmas future had just dwindled down into a bedpost. Tears were in Ebenezer’s eyes as he feared his awful fate and knew that there was little he could do to change it. His heart ached as he thought of all of the people he had hurt, many of whom were now gone for many years. The damage he had done to them was irreparable. His chains had already been knit. He could already feel their weight upon his soul.
    It was only when he was on his knees with his hands folded in prayer, wondering how a person such as he could ever be saved, that he finally noticed the presence of a Fourth Spirit. Unlike the other spirits, this One seemed as if He had always been there, waiting quietly, patiently, for His time.
Ebenezer didn’t have to ask the Spirit who He was, for he already knew. He could feel a pulsating radiance, a power, a warmth, and a love that none of the other spirits had conveyed.
     “The Spirit of the First Christmas!” whispered Ebenezer, in awe. “Marley didn’t warn me that you would come tonight. I never really expected to meet you, at all!”
“But, I didn’t just come, tonight,” answered the Spirit. “I’ve always been here. It’s just that you’ve never noticed me standing here. Your lack of expectation and openness explains why I have waited so long. But, come,” continued the Spirit, “We have a journey to take, now, that is greater than any of the other ones you have taken, tonight. Take my hand.”
Immediately, the scenery of the bedroom faded as another scene appeared. The Spirit and Scrooge were now standing on a rocky, grass-covered hillside. The sound of grazing sheep could be heard off to the left. It was dark, except for a bright star in the sky, overhead.
     Not too far down the wide valley to the right Scrooge could barely make out the outline of a small village. Most of its inhabitants must have already gone to bed, because it was dark. But, looking up the hill towards the sound of the sheep, Scrooge saw what seemed to be a cave in a limestone outcropping.
     A dim light shone from the opening and there seemed to be people walking quietly around, talking softly, awesomely, respectfully.
     “Is this it?” asked Scrooge. “I mean . . .”
The Spirit led him up toward the opening in the rock. It was a steep climb up a narrow path, something Ebenezer hadn’t done since he was a younger man.
     “But, where are all the lights?” asked Scrooge. “They’re all over London at Christmas time! There have to be lights!” he exclaimed.
     “But Ebenezer,” said the Spirit, quietly, “there are lights. Can’t you see how bright it is?”
      “I see the star in the sky, and a dim light coming from the cave. But that is all,” said Scrooge, apologetically.
     “The world has never been so bright as it is, right now,” announced the Spirit. “For in that lowly cave, in that place where sheep and cattle eat and sleep, lies the Light of the World. Perhaps you can’t see the brightness of that Light because of all the other lights you put on at this time of year as a sign of your piety. Unfortunately, most don’t realize that the Light of Christmas isn’t One that can be put on and off. For it is a Light that is and always shall be! If people would only put out their lights and look with the eyes of their souls, they might see that Brightness, too!”
     The opening of the little cave was getting nearer.
     “But, where are the angels?” asked Scrooge. “There’ve got to be angels!”
     “But, there are angels!” answered the Spirit. “You can see them all around! There aren’t as many as there were an hour ago, for the message has been delivered. But, many of them have decided to stay to bask in the glow of the Son,” the Spirit said with a wink.
      Scrooge and the Spirit were at the entrance of the cave, now. A small fire was burning near an inside wall with most of the smoke going up and out a hole in the ceiling. Dirty, rough looking people were sitting or lying quietly throughout the small room, all of them intently gazing at a couple of people over in the corner, resting on a mound of cut grass. Squinting his eyes, Scrooge could make out a tired looking middle-aged man and a young woman. An oil lamp was nestled in a rock ledge, just above their heads. In the woman’s arms was a baby, wrapped in rags.
      “I never thought it could have been so dirty,” said Scrooge. “Look at these people! No better off than the lowest of London’s foul homeless wretches!”
      “Indeed,” answered the Spirit. “But these are the ones that baby came to save! And be glad of it, Ebenezer! For your heart is just as foul!”
     Scrooge remembered the message of the other spirits, earlier that night, and was reminded of the chain that hung upon his soul.
      “Then that One, that little Baby wrapped in rags can save me?” Scrooge pleaded.
The Spirit looked tenderly at Scrooge and said, “People in your day love Christmas. They love the lights, the songs, the presents, the parties. They even love the papier-mache creches with the naked, clean little babies lying in the clean wooden mangers. But, they forget the real message of Christmas, Ebenezer! They forget that the little Baby wrapped in rags, over there, grew up, worked miracles, shared God’s message of love, and then was taken by people no better or worse than yourself, who crucified him upon a cross!”
    “That Baby?!” wept Scrooge.
    “Yes!” said the Spirit, mournfully. “And, because He did, your chains and the chains of all who would believe in him are broken. Do you believe?”
    “Oh yes, I do!” replied Scrooge with all his heart.
    “If you believe, then you are free!” pronounced the Spirit.
    Tears of joy filled Scrooge’s eyes. The weight of the chains was gone. His soul felt as light as a feather. Suddenly, the brightness of God’s holy Light filled his soul until he was forced to close his eyes because of its wondrous glory.
    Upon opening his eyes Scrooge was back in his bed, once again. But, Scrooge could feel that the Spirit was still there.
    He has never left.
                                                                                         – Rev. Paul G. Donelson

Your secret sister will be a secret no more as this is the day your guessing is done. Names will be drawn for your sister for next year. If you cannot make the brunch but want to be included, contact Connie Schwaderer.
    If you wonder what a Secret Sister does - she remembers her “sister” by sending her
a card every month or giving a small gift on special occasions but be sure not to sign your name - keep it a secret!!


You may want to take advantage of the following

Check out the North Hallway!

  • There is a great selection of seasonal cards as well as Birthday, Anniversary, Get Well, Thinking of You and Sympathy cards to be found on both sides of the hallway. There are also a couple of boxes of Secret Sister cards!
  • The Dorcas Group and United Methodist Women have several items that would make good gifts, i.e. paring knives, carving knives and forks, dish cloths, and handy choppers. There is a box on top of the display rack for your payment. If you can’t find what you are looking for - ask in the church office!

Remember the bottle drive - will accept colored bottles as well!  During the time of parties and get togethers, save your returnables to help our camp fund! If you need pickup, contact the Shermans at 872-4649. This is another great way to support camping!

Board of Trustee Special Meeting: 11-01-07

  • Meeting was called to review quotes for church insurance due to cancellation from previous company.

  • It was reported that the Cuddle Room’s restroom was neglected from the original painting big, but that it needs attention, too. Approval was given to have it painted before the painter is finished.

Administrative Council 11-13-07

  • It was announced there will be no cantata this year.
  • The church treasurer reported that all bills are paid but there isn’t any money to put into escrow for the janitor’s salary or pastor’s health insurance.

  • The report from the Trustees indicate the fellowship hall needs to be kept above 50 degrees when not occupied because moisture is beginning to peel the paint. They will also begin thinking about a new mower for the church.
  • Finance reports no decision has been made on what to do with the Charter Estate. Possibly do a study involving Finance, Trustees and congregation. It was moved and approved to have an open meeting headed by the chairs of Finance and Trustees before the next meeting of Ad. Council (1-15-08).

It Is A Challenge....

     Save your poinsettia for use next Christmas. This season's favorite holiday plant can be next year's, too. When the holidays are over and you pack away the decorations, don't pitch the poinsettia plant. If you're up for a challenge, this year's poinsettia could become a part of your holiday decorations next year.
      Treat your poinsettia like any other houseplant. Don't over water or underwater a poinsettia plant. During the spring and summer, a poinsettia is a green foliage plant. When the weather turns warm, repot your poinsettia. You will also need to decide whether you want your plant to be a bush or a tree.
     If you fancy trees, cut off all the plant's side shoots and leave a single runner that will grow upward. If a bush is more to your liking, pinch off the terminal shoot and the side shoots to make the plant branch more.
     Where you keep your poinsettia between New Year's and September doesn't make a whole lot of difference, as long as it gets light, The tricky part comes after September.
To flower, the plant needs the same amount of darkness Mother Nature provides. Somehow, you've got to keep that plant in the dark after the sun goes down, and it has to stay in the dark until the sun comes up. If there is any flash of light, you can forget it. Totally in the dark -- it's too easy to break the period of darkness. But the conclusion is - it's also a whole lot easier and cheaper to buy a new one each fall.
     But once the plant begins turning the bright red it's known for, there's no turning back it's gonna go.
      One unique characteristic of poinsettias is that its red "flowers" aren't actually flowers at all. The true flower of the plant is the small yellow flower in the center of the red color. The spectacular red, flower-like arrangements are the plant's bracts or leaves.
      A tropical plant from Central America, the poinsettia is also known as the Christmas Star or the Mexican Flameleaf. It's named for its discoverer, J.R. Poinsett, the first U.S. ambassador to Mexico.
     From a report by Sharon Omahen, University of Georgia on Ron Oetting, a research entomologist with the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.


Our Faithfulness:


Advent Offering -Sunday, December 2

     We all have felt the pinch with rising gas prices which translate into higher food prices. But just imagine how much this hurts those in our area who work hard but haven’t had an opportunity to put money into savings to help out in times like these. What is worse, the children are caught in the middle.
     When everyone shares a little, we can help a lot. The enclosed Advent Offering envelope is for your donation to this annual project. You may drop your donation in the offering plate at any time, but earlier in the month allows us to know how much we can do. You may also mail your offering to Box 125 or drop it off in the office.

This and That

Christmas in the Village

There will be free movies for the kids during the afternoon. The evening will feature a lighted parade and a gathering featuring bean soup, hot chocolate, entertainment and carriage rides at the VFW Hall.
     Take the family and enjoy “Christmas in the Village”.

Turning Tapes into CD’s

     For some time now, the weekly worship services have been recorded on tape. It has also been some time since we have had any duplicate tapes because the duplicator doesn’t do it’s job. It would cost about $800 to get it repaired and a new one costs $1500.
     We have been thinking about upgrading to CD’s! We are at the point of needing to replace the tape recorder and duplicator or move up to digital.
    What we need to know is - is there a need. If you would like to receive the Sunday morning worship every week to play in your home, we need to know. If you don’t have a player, CD players would be provided. They are cheaper now than the recorders we distributed to those in the tape ministry. The entire worship service is recorded on one side - no turning a tape over!
     If you would like to receive the CD’s please contact the church office. We need to have at least five people to make it worth our time.

Officers and Leaders

     December brings the end of this year’s duties for our Officers and Leaders. We are very grateful for their participation and cooperation. Some are leaving positions they have held since we before we moved here - 9 ½ years ago and some have been on for three years or less. Some are taking a rest, some are continuing for another term and some have just taken on a different task in the life of the church. We want to express our gratitude to the following: Jane Mitchell; Marilyn Green; Barbara Tuckey; Bob Tuckey; Whitney Kirn; Connie Schwaderer; Donna Adams; Bill Kritzman; Yvonne Greer; Char Fahrner; Doris Jones; Linda Derfiny; Roy Tuckey; Louise Buehrly; Ron Geiger; Shirley Wagg; Dr. Paul Chappel; Bill Shagene; Opal Schneeberger; Tom Proctor; Dennis Hill; Ann Milligan; Ardis Monroe; Laura Hill; Esther Guinther and Ruth Wichert. See pages 13, 14, and 15 for 2008 Officers and Leaders. Begin praying for these people - and continue throughout the year.

From Jeff Stoutenburg: I just wanted to say thank you for the care package I received. It was very thoughtful and very appreciated. It’s good to know that everyone back home still cares. Thank again!!

Dear Friends of the Faith,
Some of you called and others wrote,
You all prayed which showed you cared.
Joy filled my heart in ways I can’t express,
Because you cared so much during my distress.

God has given me a new start on life,
He never faltered and never left my side.
Thanks to you and our Heavenly Father
I now feel another safe harbor.
With all my Christian Love
From Jill Dillon: Thank you so much for the box of goodies. I loved getting it, and so did my friends. It is so exciting when you find out that there is a box waiting for you. Lots of people said to me that they wished their church did the same. It was an awesome box. Thanks Again!
