Welcome
to Our New Pastor
THE REV. DR. DON CHILDERS
At a congregational
meeting held on September 26, 2004, members of The United Church of Los
Alamos voted to call The Rev. Dr. Don Childers as our new pastor.
The meeting and vote followed the 9:30 worship service at which Don preached
a sermon entitled “The Great Upside-Down World,” based on Luke 16: 19-31.
Don and his wife, Janice, plan to begin their ministry in Los Alamos on
December 1st. Over the next few months we will be making preparations
for their arrival and are looking forward with great anticipation to welcoming
them into our congregation.
Don Childers
was born in Santa Cruz, California, and grew up in Oregon. He was
attending the University of Oregon when he discerned a call into ministry.
He transferred to Northwest Christian College where he received his BA
in Religion. After serving a one-year internship at First Christian
Church in Seattle, Washington, he attended Brite Divinity School at Texas
Christian University, graduated with a Masters in Divinity in 1974, and
was ordained in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the same
year. In 1984 he received his Doctor of Ministry also from Brite
and has since earned 26 hours toward an MA in History from Northwest Missouri
State University.
Don has been
in ministry for 30 years, 15 of those as Senior Pastor, Head of Staff,
in Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, and Texas, currently serving Memorial Christian
Church in Midland, Texas. He is accustomed to long-term ministries,
having served 9 years in Wichita Falls, Texas, and 11 years in Maryville,
Missouri.
Don is very
excited about our multi-denominational identity and is looking forward
to strengthening our ties with our larger church community. He believes
that there is richness in diversity and is a person who can relate to those
across the spectrum. He has been involved in cooperative ecumenical
ministries wherever he has been and anticipates working with a congregation
that embodies that spirit.
The United
Church’s mission emphasis is another aspect that attracts Don to our church.
He believes that “the mission of the church is to share the love of God,
introduce and invite persons into a relationship with God through Christ,
and to work for justice in the world.” He has been involved in many
community outreach programs throughout his career, including serving on
mental health boards, being a trainer in a drug rehabilitation program,
and working in prison ministry.
Don is a talented
and thought-provoking preacher. His aim is to deliver theologically
sound sermons that are relevant to our lives. He’s a great storyteller,
has a lot of intellectual curiosity, and incorporates new ideas into his
sermons. He relates that he was particularly challenged toward innovation
and theological excellence in Maryville, Missouri, and Greencastle, Indiana,
university towns, due to the highly educated nature of those congregations.
Team ministry
is one of Don’s goals. He has an empowerment leadership style, allowing
staff members to do their own jobs, but is able to step in when leadership
is needed. He tries to create an environment that encourages innovation
and cooperation. He is described as a good diplomat and has a proven
track record in helping congregations work through challenging situations.
Don has an
outgoing, friendly personality and thoroughly enjoys visiting with people
informally. He relates well to all ages. He has served as camp
counselor in recent years and was keynote speaker for a youth spring rally
in 2003. He places a high priority on providing pastoral care to
those in need, particularly hospital and shut-in visitation. His
many interests include reading, history, movies, and writing. He
is an amateur astronomer and is currently learning to ride a horse, a life-long
ambition.
Janice loves
working with adult learners, teaching computer software classes such as
Excel and Access. She feels a sense of gratification in helping people
gain the tools they need to live their lives more successfully. She
has also been involved in rescuing animals and recently successfully raised
and released several ground squirrels. She has been active in many
aspects of church life, including teaching Sunday School and participating
in women’s activities. Because Janice had surgery for a detached
retina just a week ago, she was regrettably not able to be present for
this candidating weekend. However, she did visit Los Alamos with
Don for the initial interview, is recovering very well, and is excited
about the move.
Don and Janice
have two grown children, Guy and Jacquie, who live in Missouri and New
Jersey. They love pets, and their dog and three cats add much to
their lives.
This is an
exciting time in the life of The United Church as we prepare for Don and
Janice’s arrival at the beginning of Advent. Look for pictures elsewhere
on the church’s website.

Fall
Retreats
Fall is a
beautiful time to go to the mountains. In October the aspens
have changed and the color is wonderful. It is a good time to be out of
doors, do some hiking, or just sit and appreciate the beauty of God's creation.
Fall is also a great time to get away and think about your life of faith.
You can combine these two activities by attending one of The United Church's
Fall Retreats. The groups and dates and contact persons are as follows:
October
8-10 Women's Retreat Chris Sierk
October
15-17 Men's Retreat Steve Paglieri
Youth Retreat Jean Picard
All retreats
are at Sonlight Christian Camp in Pagosa Springs. The cost is reasonable
and scholarships are available. Registrations will be taking place
during the fellowship hour each Sunday, or stop by the church office.

Stewardship Campaign Begins
In a few weeks
the Finance Board of our Church will be starting the Stewardship Pledge
Drive for next year. In the pledge material, which you will receive
soon in the mail, is a brief narrative description of our Church activities
and the estimated resources required to accomplish these goals. Also
included are “Future Vision” plans for our United Church. It is hoped that
this brochure will better inform you about the activities of our Church.
The Finance
Board, through the Executive Board, is estimating a total Church budget
for 2005 of $674,000. All of the needs of our church and our missions throughout
the world have been carefully considered by both Boards, as well as by
our Church Treasurer. If we are to realize these goals, an individual
increase in giving of 5% will be required.
Prayerfully
consider this information when making your pledge for 2005. The stewardship
of the Church is the responsibility of all of us. Your financial
support provides the resources needed for the Church to carry out its missions
in our community and around the world.

Moms
and More
Moms and More
is a group of Moms who meet every Friday morning in the Church Lounge from
9:30 AM to 11:30 AM for fellowship, food, to learn from speakers, and to
do occasional service projects for the church. On October 1st we
will have a garden tour of the Demo Garden on Oppenheimer and Central.
The Demo garden is across the street from the Movie Theater. Kay
Morris, a Master Gardener has volunteered to give our group a tour starting
promptly at 9:45 a.m. This should give the mom's enough time to drop
off their kids. Weather permitting; there is a little picnic area on the
premises where people can bring snacks and drinks. Please RSVP by
calling Peggy Sinclair Morris. On October 8th, Deb will help direct
us in preparing Bazaar treats. Deb may be calling on you to help
her gather recipes, containers, decorations, and ingredients for various
meals, treats, and desserts in a jar or bag, for sale at this year’s Bazaar.
Come ready to mix things up. On October 15th , we will be indulging
in a Moms Day Out, where child care will be provide while Moms may choose
their own activity for the next couple of hours, be it grocery shopping
alone, a workout, a hike, shopping, or a spontaneous get-to-gather with
some other Moms at Starbucks; the time is yours. On October 22nd,
Cathy Renfro will get us up and out with a recreational activity of her
choosing. Bring your tennis shoes and be ready to go do something.
On October 29th, it is almost Halloween and we would like to invite
all those grandmotherly and grandfatherly types who would like to informally
adopt some small and local grandchildren to come and start a relationship
or two with our children. We are planning a Halloween party for all
with games, crafts and a snack. See below for more details.
All are welcome, even if your children don’t need the child care provided,
as noted below. Come join us.
Childcare is
always provided during Moms & More, and a $2.00 per child contribution
is greatly appreciated.

“Adopt-a-Grand”
Program!
Be a Part
of Our New “Adopt-a-Grand” Program!
“The best part
of being a grandparent is that you can spoil your grandchildren rotten,
and then give them back!” How many times have I heard that from a
smiling grandparent? But in many cases these days, it seems that
the spoiling doesn’t happen as often as either the spoilers or the spoilees
would like due to the grand distances between grandparents and their grandchildren.
If that describes you, OR if you just like having fun with young children,
then we, the Moms and More group, would like to invite you to participate
in our new “Adopt-a-Grand” program.
Like many of
you, most of us live far from our families, too, which means that our children
do not get to see their grandparents as often as they (or we) would like.
It has occurred to us, however, that there is a solution to this situation
that could be beneficial to all of us, which brings me, again, to our new
“Adopt-a-Grand” program.
We would
love for our children to be able to “adopt-a-grand[parent],” and we would
love for those of you who are interested to “adopt-a-grand[child].”
We would like to pair one “grandparent” with one “grandchild” (our children
range in age from 6 months to 4 years old), depending, of course, on numbers.
You would then be invited to our Moms and More gatherings every so often
to spend time with your “grandchild.” Our first “Adopt-a-Grand” activity,
for example, is planned for Friday morning, October 29, and will be a very
scary, spectacularly spooky Halloween party!
If you have
any questions, or would like to sign up (and we ask that you please do
call if you’re interested), please call Deb Worley. We look forward
to having you spoil our kids (and then yes, giving them back)!

Operation
Christmas Child
This year,
United Church of Los Alamos will again participate in gathering items and
packing shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child sponsored by Samaritan's
Purse. This is a unique opportunity for your family to be involved in missions
in a very hands-on personal way. These shoe boxes deliver a message
of God's love to hurting children in poor, war torn and remote lands of
our world. Many of these children are in circumstances so dire that
they have never even received a gift, especially one intended to share
God's love with them.
We invite you
to join in this special project by filling and wrapping your own shoe box
or by helping us buy new items so that the children's Sunday School classes
may pack them on November 7th during the Sunday School class time.
Last year we contributed over 50 boxes that were delivered by Samaritan's
Purse, this year we hope to send even more.
We will be
collecting new and colorful toys, clothing and hygiene items, hard candy,
and school supplies that will fit in a shoe box. We also need shoe
boxes that are in good condition and large enough to fill with notebook
paper, etc. Brochures will be available to help you purchase items
and pack your own shoe boxes. There are some items that cannot be
sent such as liquids, chocolate, and war toys, so check the lists before
you make your purchases. Information will be available on the bulletin
board in the upstairs hall near the classrooms or from the office.
If you have questions please call Betty Apperson. Collection containers
will be located in the office when you have things to contribute.
This is one
of the most important mission opportunities you will have this year. Please
join us in the collection and packing of these boxes that we will send
to precious children in one of over 95 countries in which these deliveries
are made. Most of all, pray for this project. Pray for the children,
pray for the contributors and packers and pray for the people who will
personally deliver the boxes to the children. It is a wonderful way to
share our love and God's love with others.
