And he said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. He sleeps and
rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how. The earth produces by itself,
first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in
the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
The above quotation from scripture is a parable that Jesus offered his disciples. The truth of
his words still can inspire us today in our own journeys of faith

There is something deep and mysterious about our journey with God. This parable from the
very mouth of Christ highlights this truth: our life with God is a significant journey in which we
possess no definitive map or timeline: this is all done in God’s time and in God’s ways.
The farmer in Jesus’s parable plants the seed and gathers the harvest, what happens to those
seeds in between those two points is mysterious even to the farmer. He knows some of the process,
but not all of it.
This is certainly true with our life with God. There is mystery involved in this journey.
Diogenes Allen, late professor at Princeton Theological Seminary, understood something about
mystery. He wrote:
Mysteries to be known must be entered into. … For we do not solve mysteries; we enter
into them. The deeper we enter into them, the more illumination we get. Still greater
depths are revealed to us the further we go.
Indeed, life with God is a mystery into which we enter and live. We cannot create a formula of just
exactly how God works in our lives; we must trust the God that does.
Grace and Peace

FROM THE STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE
THE E-GIVING SWITCH IS ON The switch to regular, scheduled
e-Giving is gaining momentum at FPC. You’ve probably
noticed the growing number of green “I Give Electronically”
cards in the offering plates each Sunday. Two suggestions that
will assure that your e-Donations have the most impact on the
church: 1) Credit card companies charge the church a 2-3/4%
fee for each transaction. Consider direct transfer from your
checking account. 2) Consolidate your weekly giving into one
“Monthly” contribution to keep FPC’s transaction costs down
and to simplify your records. Come in to the church office if you
need help getting started. It’s easy!

corn bread. Lastly, a bowl of cheese and a large bowl of wonderful chili. The dessert of ice
cream and cookies was served on a plate! This meal “bowled” Louie over as he cleaned them all
and put them away until March 8th when our church youth will prepare the meal.
THE COULTER SOCIETY
The purpose of the Coulter Society is to encourage and recognize planned gifts to the church
through wills and bequests, as a way of investing in the future of FPC Gbg.
Why is this being called the Coulter Society? The name is in honor of a family that goes back to
the founding of this congregation in 1788. To put that date in perspective, the following year on
April 30 in NYC, GW was sworn in as the first President of our country. From the beginning,
the Coulters were a family intent on leaving a legacy. The family played a very active role in the
life of this church for almost 150 years, as well as in the community, county, and state.
The first church building was constructed in what is now St. Clair Park. In 1847, this plot of
ground, on the corner of Third and Main, was purchased by Mss. Margaret and Rebecca Coulter
and three other women and the title was turned over to the church trustees. In 1848 a church was
built on this site. The congregation continued to grow and in 1882 it was decided that a new
building was needed. General Richard Coulter made the lead pledge to fund that building. The
congregation continued its growth and in 1913 it was decided again to replace that building with
a new structure, which is this church. General Coulter’s widow, Emma Coulter, stepped forward
and donated almost 1/2 of the cost of this building. The building was completed in 1917. In
1921 the first stained glass window, the War Memorial Window, was installed and dedicated.
This was a gift of Col. Henry Coulter and is the window over the balcony. This window is in
honor of the 98 men from this congregation that served in WW 1, five of whom did not make it
home.
In 1928, Emma Coulter, the General’s widow, donated the Passion Windows, over the choir loft.
The family continued to make benevolent gifts to the church, including the Richard Coulter Trust
in 1937 which has continued to provide some income for the operating budget every year for the
last 75 years. They were not the only family or individuals to generously support this church
over the years but they certainly set a good example. The Coulter legacy is with us today 224
years after our founding. We have this beautiful place of worship today because of their
generosity and the generosity of others like them.
I doubt that any of us can do things on the scale that the Coulters did but we can do small things,
and many small things add up. Let us leave a legacy as well so that this congregation can
continue its ministry in the future in this place. We ask that you consider naming the church in
your will, any amount, small, medium, or large. Over the coming months you will hear more
about what others have already done and what opportunities are available to us. If you have
already made arrangements through estate planning to leave something to the church or if you
have questions or are considering doing this please let us know. You can do this through the
church office and either Martin or I will respond, or you can contact us directly. Let’s all
become members of the Coulter Society.
