C.S. Lewis said, “There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, ‘All right, then, have it your way.’” As redeemed children of God, of course, we desire to belong to that first category. We long to live each day as stewards who earnestly pray, “Thy will be done.” As God’s stewards, we are devoted to using all that we are and have for his purpose. We are God’s stewards each and every day. On Sundays October 12th, October 19th, and October 26th, the theme of our worship services and our Bible studies will be living each day as a steward. We will learn how the Holy Spirit, working through Word and Sacrament, transforms us to be more like our Chief Steward, Jesus, who willingly poured out his life in giving and serving, ultimately sacrific- ing his very life for our eternal lives. Just as Jesus faithfully served his Father by serving us, we are to use our lives and gifts in faithful service to him by serving others. “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace” (1 Peter 4:10). As your pastor, I pray that each of you will take advantage of these opportunities to grow in the grace and knowledge of your Lord that you might be strengthened in faith both for eternity and for a fruitful life here on earth. The three weekly themes are as follows: October 12th — “The Steward’s Identity” October 19th — “The Steward’s Purpose” October 26th — “The Steward’s Life style” (Commitment Sunday) make a special effort to be present with us on Sunday, October 26th, for our Stewardship Commitment Sunday. We will have the opportunity to make our financial commitments during our 10:00 a.m. worship and then enjoy a catered luncheon following the service in the Fellowship Hall. It would truly be a blessing to have a full Sanctuary and an overflowing spirit of excitement as we anticipate God’s continued working in our midst. May God grant us strength and wisdom to be the faithful stewards that he has called us to be. On the Stewardship Journey with you, Pastor Scott I would like to personally invite you to Maggie Styers Missionary Chapter Lovefeast Sunday, October 12th — 10:00 a.m. Our Guest Speakers will be Mohamed and Safiatu Braima. Please make plans to join us for this special Missionary Lovefeast on November 12th! Page 2 Congregation-wide Potluck Picnic at Triad Park Sunday, October 5th On Sunday afternoon, October 5th, a congregation-wide POTLUCK PICNIC will be held at Triad Park near Colfax.

The Outreach and Special Events Committee Nominating Committee Formed In preparation for Church Council to be held on November 16, 2014, a Nominating Committee has been formed.

Help us stamp out hunger here in Forsyth County and around the world! Notes from Lewis Several people have asked me recently how I felt about applause in worship. I thought I would take this opportunity to share some of my thoughts about this subject. Clapping is a cultural phenomenon whose popularity has grown in worship services in the last 25 years. Before 1950, clapping in worship would have been rare and greatly disfavored. Dr. William L. Hendricks was a professor at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, which was the seminary I attended. He says that the current prevalent custom of clapping in worship services has arisen from two sources. One source is the entertainment industry, where applause is given as a sign of approval of the performer and the performance. The second source is the shift in worship styles from a more formal to a less formal expression. Many congregations of this generation use clapping in the same way previous generations used amens. He goes on to say that the desire to show emotion in worship is as old as Old Testament times and is an acceptable biblical custom. Religion without emotion may become meaningless formalism and ritualism; religion with excessive emotion may become meaningless ecstasy and chaos. Achieving a balance is a difficult task. Dr. Hendricks shares the following suggestions about the inappropriateness of clapping in worship: 1. If sermons or songs are addressed to or dedicated to God, they should not be followed by applause. 2. Songs that are written as prayers should never be interrupted by or followed by applause. 3. Special music, whether by choir, ensembles, soloists, or instrumentalists, if it is a part of the stated worship, should not be followed by applause. It is better to tell the musician later in word or writing of your appreciation. The brief moment immediately following the anthem, for instance, is often a time where worshippers want to reflect quietly on the meaning of what they have just heard. 4. The above principle applies to pianists and organists whose special contributions to worship may occur during the prelude, at the offertory, or as a postlude. They are exercising a talent in worship and not giving a performance. 5. One should not applaud in a worship service when the result Page 4 might be to draw attention to the self and create a disruptive uncertainty among others who, not wanting to be embarrassed, might be uncertain as to whether to clap or not. These suggestions pretty well sum up my feelings on this subject. We have also discussed this in a Chancel Choir rehearsal, and the choir members feel the same way. We are not “performing” in worship, but rather offering our talents to God. It would be much more meaningful to us for you to express your appreciation following the worship service or by sending me a note that I will gladly share with the choir. These thoughts are in no way intended to “ruffle any feathers!” As I said, several people have asked my opinion, and these are my thoughts on this subject.

Can you believe it’s already time to be thinking about the Angel Tree? The angel’s names, (given to us from the Salvation Army), will be on the tree sometime in November. Church groups, individuals, or families may choose a name from the tree to make a little child have a wonderful Christmas. If you are unable to shop but would like to participate, why not consider sponsoring a child and let someone else do the shopping for you? Watch the upcoming bulletins or November’s newsletter for more information about the Angel Tree! We are looking for a volunteer, individual, or group to provide and serve a light meal for the choir members, band members, and dieners that participate in both of our Christmas Eve Lovefeasts. The menu is chosen by the person(s) who provide the meal. In the past, we’ve also had donations to cover the cost of this meal. If you would like to donate money we would greatly appreciate your help. If you would be willing to help prepare and serve, give a monetary gift, or have questions and need more details, please contact Bob and Bonnie Sparrow at 7935393. SECOND REQUEST...RECORDING OF WORSHIP SERVICES The Music and Worship Committee would like to know about member's interest in CD recordings of our worship services. If we were to switch from tape recordings to CD recordings, how many Fairview members would desire a CD of the worship service on a weekly basis? If you would like a CD of the service on a regular basis, would you please contact Janet in the church office and let her know? A decision will be made whether to make this change or not, based on the response from Fairview members along with other factors. Please give us your feedback! Thank you!

He attended North Elementary School and John W. Hanes High School where he played football and tennis with football scholarships offered to Elon and Lenoir Rhyne graduating in 1951. He joined Fairview Moravian Church in 1949 when I. Howard Chadwick was Pastor and R. Carroll Williams Sr. taught Sunday School and attended regularly ushering until he went in the Marines. He went to work at Western Electric but the work was too confining and quit and went to work with Glenn Joyce at Joyce Bros. for 11 months and then joined the U.S. Marine Corps in March of 1953. After boot camp at Parris Island, SC he went to Jacksonville, Fla. For two months of prep school then on to Millington, TN to Electronics “A” school for 54 weeks but on a Christmas leave he married his then High School sweetheart Peggy Ann Lawson in December 1953 then on to Cherry Point, NC. The Marine Corps and marriage did not agree and they separated and divorced in 1958. In the Marine Corps he was assigned to VMFTN-20 Marine All Weather Night Fighter Squadron training pilots and radar operators. After two years at Cherry point he was honorably discharged but his Colonel tried to talk him into going to flight school at Pensacola, Fla. since he had flown numerous hours as a co-pilot with Lieutenants unfamiliar with twin Beechcraft operations but he declined and came back home to W-S. He hired in on Western Electric payroll assigned to Bell Telephone Laboratories for design and development of Sonar Systems for the Navy. He also saw the need for more education and attended Guilford College at night. He developed the Top Secret signal level diagrams for Electrical and Magnetic delay line systems and he and Thomas A. McKenzie designed and developed every System Test Center and cable fault locator from 1956 to 1966. Prior to 1958 the Nav Aids gear necessary to locate a cable fault was only good for location within a quarter of a nautical mile but the two Toms worked diligently at the development setting across the room at an isolated location calculating to eight decimal places for resistance, capacitance and inductance then compensating for depth, temperature and pressure for each cable and repeater sections. This was done for every Sonar station. In 1966 he transferred back to AT&T in design and development of Central Office Equipment. In 1968 Tom McKenzie called him from Greensboro and told him some fantastic news. The last cable fault locator Tom had designed before he left Bell Laboratories had been put to use. A Russian trawler had grappled and pulled up the cable and cut it into but the fault was located within 12 ft. a new high for their diligent work. At one time the two Toms were the only two men in the world working on cable fault localization on terminated undersea cables and in May 1965 with Tom at home recovering from surgery and the other Tom on the way to see the Kentucky Derby the Russians grappled for our cable at one of the foreign locations and cut it rendering out of service for early sonar detection. Captain Kelly of the Navy Department and his staff came to NC and Tom was called in to tell them what needed to happen. The cable fault localization process was complicated for the Navy to understand and Capt. Kelly asked if Tom could go locate it. Tom called his Doctor for clearance and the Navy flew a plane in from Jacksonville, Fla and picked him up and flew him to the station where he was met with a car with four stars on the front license plate. This was on a Friday and after he located the fault the pilots and crew scheduled the return trip for late Saturday night getting Tom back home early Sunday morning. His expense voucher for this trip was $9.72 and that was spent at the Officers Club. He was lead engineer on numerous projects and was Project manager for the DUIT-l: and DUIT-2 systems until his retirement in 1988. DUIT-2 installed 17 different central offices across the country and they all turned over service early making AT&T 130 million dollars. In 1987 he obtained his Independent Automobile license because all through the working years he had a hobby of building Street Rods and buying and repairing wrecked autos. He retired from this in 2007. Another of his hobbies was guns, oil paintings and shooting skeet and sporting clays. He has been a Hunter Safety Instructor for the State of NC for over 20 years. He has also volunteered for medical studies at Wake Forest Health and Piedmont Medical Group for over 20 years. A brick is being installed in the Field of Honor for his participation in the Korean Conflict. He left Fairview because he was working Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday overtime and was in college Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights and studying on Sundays. Later, he transferred his membership to Home Moravian for 20 years. At home he ushered for the 8:45 service for 6 ½ years missing only one Sunday when he had the flu. He has been a ticket taker for the band and crowd controller for the Easter service over 20 years. — A note from Danny Ferguson: Tom came back to Fairview in 2012 and has been very active, serving as an assistant usher and helping in the kitchen at the Wednesday Bible studies. Also, he is learning the sound system with Henry Hilker. I asked Tom why he came back to Fairview, and he replied, "Fairview is home and Tom Shelton was a major influence on my decision to return.” He told me that Fairview needs me. And the truth is that Fairview does in fact need Tom. Everyone is so very glad he is once again part of our congregation. Not only is Tom loved and respected at Fairview, but he has served his country honorably both as a U.S. Marine and as a valued engineer who has used his great technical skill to make America a safer place. Tom Nicholson is a true American patriot as well as a wonderful Christian gentleman whom we are proud to call our fellow Fairview Moravian.

In 1992, Samaritan unleashed the power of the penny with its first Penny Campaign. This effort, for increasing awareness of hunger and homelessness in our backyard while raising money for Samaritan, has become a community event. The annual Penny Campaign is Samaritan’s major fundraiser. Beginning October 1st and continuing through November, schools, churches, families, individuals, civic organizations and corporations across the Triad, all join in saving their pennies and spare change for the Samaritan Soup Kitchen and Inn.
