Are you ready?
Every time I hear someone ask that
question I get nervous. Perhaps
because every time I’ve been asked
that question it usually involves me
saying “yes”. Take for instance the
time my wife, Meggan, asked if I
would go parasailing with her on our
honeymoon. I said “yes”, of course.
Right before my feet
lost their grip on the
deck of the boat, I
remember Meggan
asking me, “Are you
ready?”. Of course I
wasn’t, but it was too
late!
This month, we
begin our Fi rs t
United
Vision
Quest 2015. Are you
ready? We are asking all members
and friends of First United to
participate in a six-week Bible
Study. The small groups will begin
meeting during the last week in
February and continue throughout
the season of Lent. The Bible Study
groups will be led by friends and
members of our church. Everyone
will be provided with the study guide
and encouraged to sign up with a
weekly group. Sign-up sheets will
be available beginning Sunday,
February 8th. With more than a
dozen groups meeting at different
locations and times, there should be
a time and place that works for you.
In addition, beginning on Sunday,
February 22nd at 8:30am, we will be
introducing a five-week Sunday
Sc hool c lass titled “The Fi ve
Practices
of
Fruitful
C o n g r e g a t i o n s ” by Robert
Schnase. This class will look at five
core characteristics that every
vibrant congregation should be
practicing. The class will offer
engaging conversation about our
church and how well
we incorporate these
practices.
FUPC Vision Quest
2015
offers
our
church
as
a
congregation a rare
opportunity
to
discuss where we
see God leading us
into the future. It is
an exciting time, but
it also can be a little
scary. After all, God has promised to
make God’s presence known to
those who seek Him. And when God
shows up, incredible and often times
unimaginable things can happen.
So … are you ready?
I hope you will join me in saying
“Yes”, because, here at First United
Presbyterian Church, the future is
bright. When we trust in God and
take that leap of faith, we will find
that the views are well worth the
risk.
In Christ,
Luke
Can You Hear Me Now? A 2015 Update
Page 2
by Mark Young, Communications Coordinator
The way we communicate with
each
other
continues
to
evolve, and so does our
church communication. After
evaluating
our
resources,
exploring the changing trends,
and listening to your feedback,
we’ve decided to make some
adjustments in our church
communications efforts.
The most notable change is
that this will be our last monthly
newsletter - at least in this
format. With the speed of life
today, the idea of creating one
document 30 days in advance
doesn’t really make much
sense anymore. Instead, we’ll
be
focusing
our
efforts
on
sharing
more
church
information through our weekly
newsletter (bulletin announcement insert), emails, website,
and Facebook page. The
monthly newsletter will be
reformatted into a simple threeor
four-page
publication
including upcoming birthdays,
volunteer
lists,
financial
information, a calendar of
events,
and
any
other
appropriate content.
offerings that will be beginning
this month. The first will be a
special email from Pastor Luke
arriving in your inbox near the
end of each week highlighting
the coming Sunday’s scripture
and sermon message. It should
allow us all to be much more
connected each Sunday.
The second new addition will be
a weekly bulletin insert called
“Taking
Faith
Home”.
Nurturing our faith shouldn’t
begin and end on Sunday
morning. This exciting new
resource will give us all
weekly examples of caring
conversations,
devotions,
rituals/traditions, daily Bible
verses, and more. Every
individual and family should be
able to nurture their faith all
week long with the help of our
new “Taking Faith Home”
bulletin inserts.
Our goal is to share as much
information about the life of our
church with as much of our
current (and future) church
family as possible. If you miss
some of the printed information,
much of it will also be routinely
emailed to you. Most of it will
also be available through
the
church
website
at
We’d also like to introduce two www.firstunitedpc.org.
For
brand
new
communication those of you who aren’t
comfortable with the electronic
communication, much of the
information can be mailed to
you. All you need to do is
request it through the church
office.
One
last
thing,
good
communication is a two-way
street. Please always feel free
to let me know what you like
and what you don’t like about
our efforts. Share your suggestions. I hope you find the updates we’re making to be useful
as we all continue to work together to grow in our faith.

by Cindi Barnett, Chair of Christian Education Ministry
Our Senior High youth will again be participating
in a Group-sponsored workcamp this summer.
Workcamps are weeklong mission trips where our
youth work hard repairing homes for people in
need while experiencing the amazing power of
community to accomplish God’s work.
Workcamps are high-energy and action-packed,
yet powerful and life-changing. The camps are
BIG: more than 300 youth participate, creating lots
of energy and excitement throughout the entire
week. Youth come together to serve individuals
and communities while
building strong, long-lasting
relationships with their friends
and youth leaders. In six short
days, hundreds of students
from youth groups across the
country repair and transform
homes - and strengthen and
transform their own faith.

Brightening Christmas for
Those in Need
At Christmas, we were able to
help 14 families including 21
adults, 10 teenagers, 18
children, and one infant through
our Giving Tree program. You,
our members, took care of all
the original gift tags on the tree.
Additional tags were added for
cleaning supplies. All of those
wishes were fulfilled as well. In
order to give families more
choice for groceries, we
purchased gift cards of varying
amounts for each family unit.
Families also found a ham,
cheese, a fruit basket, personal
care items, hot chocolate, and
candy canes in their baskets.
Many thanks to Cindi Barnett,
Lynn Huebbe, Marilyn Kabat,
Diane and Andy Betz, and
Karen and Gus Hanold for
making this all possible.
Thanks to everyone who
contributed
to
our
denominational Christmas Joy
Offering. Donations are used to
help retired Presbyterian pastors
live out their lives with dignity
and to provide aid to needy
students in Presbyterian
colleges. Your donations totaled
$437.44.

Someone!
Decorators and handymen - our
EPH home needs you! Lori Dill,
our Ecumenical Partnership for
Housing coordinator, is looking
for people to help her get the
home our church supervises
ready for a new family. Our
home turns over approximately
once a year, so this is not
necessarily an ongoing
commitment. You can “adopt a
room” in the home and have
responsibility to clean, paint if
necessary, and get creative. It’s
your opportunity to provide a
comfortable, welcoming space
for people who have never had
such a home before. If
interested, contact Lori at 4981178 or email to [email protected].

Did You Tie One On?
By Anita Sevcik
With almost a year covered in fleece, it’s time to
celebrate the success of Warmth of the Son.
Warmth of the Son had
three amazing donation
opportunities in 2014.
Golden House Domestic
Shelter, St. Vincent Sexual
Assault Nurse Examiners,
and De Pere Fire and
Rescue were all recipients of
tie blankets from our
organization. Upon delivery of the blankets, each
group shared their community involvement with
us and how the blankets would be used.
The feedback we received was awesome. The
director of SANE shared that the nurses were
grateful to give a blanket to a patient to help calm
them during
an
exam.
De Pere
R e s c u e
indicated
they would
be
placing
the blankets
in the rescue
squads
so
little ones would have something to hold during
transports or emergencies.
This year is off to an exciting start. New
opportunities with community agencies are being
generated. St. Vincent SANE has requested
another batch
of
blankets.
We are also
developing a
partnership
with
First
U n i t e d ’ s
Ecumenical
P a r t n e r s hi p
for Housing house. Warmth of the Son would
provide blankets to the our E.P.H. team for the
children moving into the James House. Upon the
children’s arrival to their new home, they would
find a blanket to call their own.
So - if you
have tied a
few knots,
donated
fleece
or
money for
f l e e c e
purchases THANK YOU! The next scheduled sessions for
more blanket tying are February 8, March 15,
and March 22 right after Sunday worship in the
Koinonia Lounge. Let’s continue this community
outreach to keep those in need wrapped in the
Warmth of the Son.
F.U.P.C. Time Machine
Each month we’ll share an old photo of one of our current church families.
See if you can guess who it is, then watch for more details next month!
Here’s last month’s photo…
It’s John and Nancy Nusbaum
with their children Becky and Joe
from around 1984!
Nancy
and
John
joined
First United in
1976
after
returning
to
De Pere from
Missouri in a
corporate
move. They
say their spiritual growth over the time spent in the
South led them to seek a church family that embraced
a Christ-centered spirit of worship and had a mission
of social justice. They found it at First United Presbyterian in De Pere.
Their children, Becky and Joe, were both baptized
and confirmed at this church. John and Nancy have
served as Elders on the Session, on Pastoral Search
Committees, and on numerous boards and
commissions. They’ve also been involved with church
expansions and property acquisitions to secure the
beautiful grounds we all enjoy today. Their many years of growth and fellowship here included Moon
Beach Camp, fruitcake baking, church choir, vacation bible school, and more.
Retirement finds the Nusbaums seeking the warmer climes in Florida during the winter months along
with downsizing to a more manageable home in Wisconsin for their autumn years. When asked what
the church means to them, John and Nancy said, “To this day, it is more than a spiritual home. It is a
home of many, many dear and wonderful friends!”
Our Time Machine is running a little low on “power”! Do you have any old
church directories or other old photos of current members you’d be willing to share?
If so, please contact Mark Young ([email protected]) or the church office
([email protected]). We promise to treat them with tender, loving care and
make digital copies for our whole church family to enjoy.
Our 2015
Per Capita Update
This year’s Per Capita
apportionment is $31.50
per
member. Per
Capita is the amount of
money our church pays per confirmed member
(approximately $10,000) and sends to our
Presbytery. It is then distributed among the
General Assembly, Synod, and Presbytery.
Your Per Capita payment is used to fund these
organizations. It is the fundamental way that all
11,000 Presbyterian congregations are
connected and participate in the work of the
Presbyterian Church-USA.
Please use the special Per Capita envelope from
your weekly boxed envelopes, or use a pew
envelope and label it “Per Capita” when making
your contribution for 2015.
