Pastor’s Pen

“What Should We Remember and Not Forget?”
We have to admit that, since we are humans, we can forget things. Let’s have a time to think
about what we should remember and should NOT forget.
“Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits”. Psalm 103:2
Either to remember or to forget can be a blessing. But there are things that we have to
remember and should not forget; there are also things that we should forget for a balanced
and happy life.
I am highlighting three things that we always need to remember.
1. We need to unceasingly remember our God’s promises.
We, who have Jesus Christ by faith, are the children of a caring and healing Father who loves
us with an unconditional love. He promised that He will never forget us, will always remember
us and our needs. He is the only one who is able to help us out in every situation and He will
never turn us down or send us away.
In Isaiah the Lords made a promise to all of us when He said: “Can a mother forget the baby
at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I
will not forget you!” (Isaiah 49:15) This is why we can count on our Lord all the time and in
every situation. What a privilege it is to be the child of God Almighty who does everything that
a parent would do for their child.
Happy is the person who knows all these things and takes it seriously. Happy is the person
who does everything based on this knowledge and will not do anything that would hurt our
heavenly and loving Father.
2. Let us remember His words.
We should not forget the golden verses we are memorizing Sunday by Sunday.
Please read the following verses with an open heart.
“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your
way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act”. (Psalm 37:4-5)
“I will make you wise, instructing and teaching you the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you”. (Psalm 32: 8)

Pastor’s Pen
By: Rev. Frank Szatmari
(continuation of page 1)
“Nevertheless I am continually with you; you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel, and afterwards you will receive me in your Kingdom
with honour. Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I
desire other than you”. (Psalm 73: 23-25)
We should keep these verses alive and fresh in our memories. King David in Psalms often
said: “I am thinking constantly about your words.”
Why is it important for us to remember God’s commandments? It is because God considers
it important that we should NOT forget Him, as the children should not forget their parents.
In Hosea 4:6 God seems very hurt by those who forget His words, and He says: “Because
you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.”
(Hosea 4:6/b)
If someone does not appreciate the word of God, this will affect their private life as well their
family life and their children’s future; but if somebody respects and loves our heavenly
father that will affect his life as well the lives of those people whom he loves.
In Psalm 122 we also read that those who live faithfully in the presence of God, and obey
His commandments accordingly, their children will be specially blessed:
“Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever.”
(Psalm 112:1-2)
This is why God had to be in the centre of our lives, and this is why the Bible had to be our
daily bread and a compass for us which will guide our whole life. For this, our children and
grandchildren will also receive blessings from our Lord.
Can you see now why it is so important that you do not forget the Word of God? Just
think for a moment how far our country has drifted away from its foundation in just one
generation.

Prayer in schools is declared illegal

Bible reading in schools is illegal

To post the Ten Commandments is declared illegal in the schools.
God’s warning to Israel was not to let the environment of the pagan society that surrounded
them dictate their values. Again, just think for a moment how far our country has drifted
away from its foundation in just one generation.
3. The Bible says that we should not forget about each other.
The apostle Paul in his letters often says that he constantly remembers certain people in his
prayers.
There are people around us who could be distressed or in trouble. It is so easy to forget
about them and to leave them alone in their struggles. Maybe we often spent time with them
when they were available but because they are sick or buried in problems, it is so easy to
forget or to ignore them. Let’s NOT forget about each other and let’s love and support each
other in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
May the Lord bless us with His Holy Spirit so we always may remember Him, His words
and His actions and our responsibilities.
“Remember the long way that the LORD your God has led you these … years.”
Deuteronomy 8:2
Reviewing my 16 months ministry at Calvin Kitchener
Dear beloved,
I am providing you a review of my ministry at Calvin and some of my future plans.
Goals I set for myself in September 2013:
1. To Be More Familiar with the Ongoing Life of the Church Such as Committees, Events,
Session and Pastoral Care.
In the last 16 months as your minister, I spent time to learning what is happening in all the groups /
activities in the church and how I can be helpful. I was seeking to find balance in my committee
involvements. Most of the time, depending of my schedule, I attended Pastoral Care Committee,
Worship Committee, Christian Education Committee, Congregational Life Committee, Mission and
Stewardship Committee, Personnel, Leading with Care Committee, Benevolent Fund Committee, and
Session meetings. I was connected with Ladies Fellowship, Senior’s Tea and Men’s Breakfast group. I
participated actively in their conversations.
I organized and led the Prayer group. From January until the end of June I led the Encounter Group
and after September, I attended the events providing guidance, knowledge and support.
I worked hard to extend, renew and reactivate the Session. Based on my suggestion, in November the
elders had a great opportunity to meet their districts and have an open conversation about their joys
and expectations at Calvin. The data will be reviewed soon and actions will be taken based on
findings.
I supported the Youth Group and children’s activities, participating in most of their events here at the
Church (Sunday activities, VBS and PYROS).
I do pastoral care in three different languages by email, phone calls, in my office and visiting. During
my home visits, I provided communion to those who asked for it. I was always present in the
congregation where there was an identified need. I was conscious of how to connect with people. I
was involved with two families with their legal and spiritual needs. I was thankful to work with them.
In 2014, I provided 18 hours of membership classes to two youth who became members at Calvin, and
privately I spent significant hours with new visitors to help them find a spiritual home in our
congregation.
In 2014, based on my outreach, our congregation welcomed eight new members. This year in 2015,
we have already adopted 15 new members.
2. Focus on My Sermons
I highly focused on my sermons and messages. My intention was to deliver Biblical and practical
messages. From emails, cards and letters I received, I was informed that both the theoretical and
practical parts of my sermons were appreciated.
I connected through Skype with those who had a desire to share our service virtually.
I emailed my sermons including the hymns and prayers to those who requested them. In some cases I
delivered a printed form to their mailbox. It seems that the audio recordings of the sermons on our
web site are frequently visited.
3. Administration and coaching
I have also been intentional about administration. During my regular Tuesday staff meeting, I plan
ahead with the Office Administrator, Music Director and CE Coordinator. After we started to learn
each other’s work style, I was able to coach and lead the staff more effectively. They are all a great
support in my ministry, taking their responsibility very well.
(Continued on page 4)
(continuation of page 3)
4. Mission and Outreach Workshop
For September 28, 2014, I organized a workshop for our congregation with Tori and John-Peter Smit.
5. Academic Studies
I continued to work on my Doctoral Thesis at University of Toronto which helped me to gather more
information about immigration, immigrants ,and to find out how our church could be more helpful
towards new immigrants to find a new home in a new land.
6. Continuing Education
I continued my studies as a psychotherapist. This helped me in two ways: by providing
psychotherapy, I attracted new people to our congregation and I was able to personalize the
messages of my sermons psychologically. I maintained my registration with American/Ontario
Association for Marriage and Family Therapists and with Canadian Association for Spiritual Care by
attending their workshops.
7. Ecumenical Ministry
I continued the team work with Ecumenical Ministries of Forest Hill. We met monthly (except July and
August) and organized different ecumenical services in various congregations. In 2014, we held two
ecumenical services and a pulpit exchange amongst Forest Hill United, St Francis Catholic and
Highland Baptist Churches. I also organized the services for Week of Prayer for Christian Unity which
took place at our church between January 18-25, 2015.
I reconnected with Taizé services and as a result we had a Taizé service at Calvin on January 25,
2015 at 7:30 p.m.
8. Activities in Waterloo-Wellington Presbytery
I attended the Presbytery meetings and workshops led by Waterloo Wellington Presbytery. I was
involved in the EIF (Education Issues Fellowship) workshop.
9. Research amongst Active Congregations
With Margaret and Elizabeth, we had a meeting in Woodstock with Rev. Chris Little, minister at
Innerkip Presbyterian Church and then we visited the staff in order to collect some new information of
their success. I had several discussions with other ministers and congregations to see how they deal
with some challenges in order to make our congregation more vibrant.
10. Meeting with Supportive Ministers
Occasionally I met with Reverend Bob Duncanson, Rev. Mark Lewis, Rev Linda Ashfield, Rev.
Brooke Ashfield, and Rev. Darrell Clarke whose supports are well appreciated.
11. Interactions with PCC
On different occasions, in person or on the phone, I connected with the main office of Presbyterian
Church in Canada to discuss some sensitive issues.
(Continued on page 5)
(continuation of page 4)
Goal Settings for 2015
1. To visit every family at least once a year.
2. To continue to provide pastoral counselling and support to those who need it.
3. To provide a meaningful Biblical message in the 21st century.
4. To continue to coach elders in their visitations.
5. To continue to support the work and life of Calvin Church in Session, committees and groups.
6. To be intentional about future planning with the session, committees and with the congregation.
- How can we introduce new leadership structures?
- How can we involve new people in our congregation?
- How can we support new immigrants to find their second home in our church?
7. To continue to build up a strong youth group
8. To continue to have personal community involvement with ecumenical churches
9. To continue my studies as a minister and as a psychotherapist.
10. To continue to support WW Presbytery as well PCC according to their needs. On April 11, 2015 the
presbytery will hold a meeting using our church’s facility.
11. To try to realize my past vision about a Wednesday Children’s Program and a Life Lesson group.
Service Plans for the near future
I am planning to have at least five Intergenerational services a year. The next one will be on February
8, 2015.
I am planning a workshop for elders on March 21, 2015 at Crieff Hills led by Reverend John-Peter
Smit.
We will have a yearly memorial service.
I will try to organize the Life Lessons group to meet once a month.
Where I need spiritual support:
I am a human being as well and I do make mistakes even though I try to do everything in the best way.
I am asking for your prayer and support. I would expect honest and open conversation from everybody
with constructive feedback. These things will give me more energy to continue my ministry.
May the Lord Jesus Christ continue to shepherd our congregation.

Helpful Ideas for a ‘Greener’ Environment
A Reassuring Thought
Safety is always first and foremost in
our thoughts and particularly now as
we face a winter of icy and snowy
sidewalks. While it is important to
take extra precautions outdoors, what
kind of precautions do we take
indoors?
Even when being cautious, falls can
happen easily. If a partner, spouse or
neighbour falls, many of us would not
be able to help that person get up to
his/ her feet. Recently, we were told,
that if such a situation occurs, to call
519-741-2582 which is the Fire
Department non- emergency number
for lifting. It goes without saying,
though, that if there are any injuries
at all, one would still call 911.
We were happy to learn that there is
an alternative to calling the
emergency 911 number.

Orphan 32 – a Book Review
There is a new book in our church library. The autobiographical
account of the author’s young life – he is now 42, traces his
harrowing escape (with 56 other orphans) from the Communists’
capture of his birth country, Viet Nam, on a Canadian transport
plane, through his life as the son of a Presbyterian minister’s
family, in Cambridge, Ontario. He honestly describes the struggles
he faced and survived to understand who he is meant to be. Along
the way he recognized that God has been his constant companion.
Bonnie Street and I met Thanh Campbell at a lunch in Forest Hill
Public School last week. The staff had invited two representatives
from each of the faith communities in their school district in order
to explain the Snack Pack program which they had started last
September, and, to solicit volunteer help to expand it. They would
like to provide a protein item in the bins, and be able to have them
five-days a week. Thanh, who now lives in Hamilton, was the
special guest. Through the sales of his story, “Orphan 32”, he
supports this program with one quarter of each sale. Please take
three or four hours to learn about this very special young man by
checking out the book, “Orphan 32”.

Ethan Brown has been working hard with PYROS, the older youth group and the
children of Calvin to plan and organize several fun, social events. The family
tobogganing event and the upcoming Euchre tournament/movie night are just a
couple of examples. The people of Calvin are encouraged to attend these events
and share in the enthusiasm and energy of our young people!

BOARD OF MANAGERS
Submitted by Phil von Farra
The Board of Managers has moved forward in the New Year
by preparing the budget for 2015. This budget reflects how
serious the financial state of Calvin is and how the Board of
Managers needs to address it.
The Board has set the date for the upcoming Spring Garage
Sale. The dates for the sale are Friday May 1 and Saturday
May 2. Set-up will begin on Thursday April 30 and will
continue on Friday until we open the doors to the public.
The sale time on Saturday has been changed to 8:30 a.m.
as we have found that people don’t show until around this
time.
The Board is once again looking for your support through
your donations, buying of goods, set-up, during the sale,
and cleaning up after the sale. Two areas of support we can
really use your help are in set-up on Friday afternoon and
Friday evening when we open the doors.
The spring Fix-up/Clean-up Day will be held on Saturday
May 23. This is a time for members of the church to help
with some yard work and clean-up around the church inside
and outside. This is an event that can build a good church
community and have people take some ownership of the
church. So if you can share an hour or two or even the
entire morning, come out and support the Board with this.
If you should have any questions, concern or comments,
please feel free to talk to me or any other Board member.
To see what the Board is working on, you can look at the
minutes from each meeting posted on the bulletin board
before you enter Calvin Hall.

Sheltered from the Storm
Our family of six lived on a dirt road with vacant fields all
around us. Uncle Curt, his wife and their small daughter
came for Christmas turkey and the fruits of our labour from
our summer garden.
After the noon meal, we were too busy doing dishes, playing
games, laughing and visiting to notice the heavy snowfall
piling up.
By evening, we were really snowed in. My mother made up
beds for our guests to stay overnight so they wouldn’t
venture out in the snow storm. When everything was all set,
my mother asked “where’s Curt?” Father replied, “He went
home to get their pajamas.”
Love is patient, love is kind. It
does not envy, it does not boast, it
is not proud. It does not
dishonour others, it is not selfseeking, it is not easily angered, it
keeps no record of wrongs. Love
does not delight in evil but rejoices
with the truth. It always protects,
always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres. Love never fails…. And
now these three remain: faith,
hope and love. But the greatest of
these is love.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
Forest Hill Public School Snack Pack Program – Earlier this year the Breakfast Program
at Calvin ended. One of the reasons contributing to this decision was that Forest Hill Public
School was starting their own Snack Pack Program. There are 550 students at this school
and 40% of them have admitted to not having enough to eat in their lunch. The school is
working with community partners to provide apples and crackers to the students three times
a week. They are looking to expand the program and need volunteers to help.
What can you do?
8:00 – 9:10 a.m. – prepare the food and fill the bins so that they are ready for the start of their
day. There are 26 classrooms and so they need 26 bins to be filled for each day.
2:00 – 3:30 p.m. – empty/clean the bins and store left over food in the refrigerator.
Volunteers are also needed to purchase and pickup food from the warehouse in Ayr.
This school has families from over 60 countries. Many are new Canadians and the school is
working to help them feel connected and supported. Volunteers are also needed to read to
the children. The children love to take books home but often no one can read to them.
If you can help, you can call the school at 519-578-5480.
If you want additional information, please speak to Betty Jane Rose or Bonnie Street.

Comments from Rev. Bob Duncanson, Minister in Association
NOT OLD ENOUGH
Submission date for the Clarion is 25 Jan. Fine. Also Robbie Burns' birthday. Fine. Also the
first of the two annual meetings. Fine. But... it is also my son Scott's 50th birthday. Not fine.
Let me say clearly and unequivocally, I AM NOT OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE A 50-YEAR OLD
SON! But there it is, out in the open for everyone to see.
We are never ready for the swift passage of time. It takes away our youth, our friends, our
loved ones, our familiar surroundings. The hymn says, 'Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all its sons away.' Time is the sensation of things coming, being, and passing. Whether
is exists outside our consciousness is debatable. But we all experience its flow particularly in
what it takes from us. As children we want the next birthday, the next Christmas, the next
school holiday to come quickly and it doesn't. As adults we usually want the reverse. We
want it to slow down so that the things we enjoy now don't slide into mere memories.
God said long ago through his apostle, ' But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the
Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day' (II Pet.3:8). This was
said in reference to the second coming of our Lord but it is helpful for us in our daily lives.
God is always with us and does not grow old or decay. He is the same every day. If our faith
is in Him then that faith will be there tomorrow as it was yesterday and today, simply because
God is faithful. We do not need to wish ourselves back in time, either our own or in history,
because God, who is with us now, was there then, engaging Himself with us and with all
people in every age.
God was there the morning Scott was born, giving us strength and blessing. He has been
there every year since, and every day, and every hour. I give thanks for His presence, in the
good times and in the bad. The experience of His love gives us the courage to face whatever
the passage of time has for us. And, yes, I am old enough to have a 50-year old son!
PYROS Calvin’s Youth Group—PYROS, Calvin’s youth group, has enjoyed many fun events
over the past few months, since the renewal of the group on November 16, 2014. The youth
have been running monthly church barbecues to raise money for youth events. The youth
have met 5 times including a night at Laserquest and a games night. The youth have also
helped out a great deal with church services and the Christmas pageant. Most recently the
youth joined with the children of the church and had a blast tobogganing.
Upcoming PYROS Events
Feb 7, 6:30- 8:30pm - we are having a cards night in Calvin hall.
At the same time a fun filled movie night will be available for all children.
The youth also are running a sweater fundraiser. They are the same style and similar in
appearance to the youths’ church sweaters. They are going for $45 each. They are navy blue
and sizes are in small to extra extra large.
Please contact Ethan Brown with further questions (519 501 3332).

INNOCENCE IS PRICELESS
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing
in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque.
It was covered with names and small American flags mounted
on either side of it.
The six-year old had been staring at the plaque for some
time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the little boy,
and said quietly,'Good morning Alex'.
'Good morning Pastor,' he replied, still focused on the
plaque. 'Pastor, what is this? '
The pastor said, ‘Well son, it's a memorial to all the young
men and women who died in the service.'
Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque.
Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear asked,
'Which service, the 8:30 or the 10:30?'
The Scenario:
One year ago, Robert Killingsworth bought the farm. Six months later, he was
dead - leaving his widow, Elizabeth, to tend to their fledgling winery and
vineyard on the outskirts of Niagara’s wine country. With mounting debts and no
clue as to how to run a business, Elizabeth is desperate to sell the farm and
recoup her losses. The fierce drought and shaky economy, however, have left
the Killingsworth Farm on the market for far too long.
One early autumn day, six people passed through the gates of Killingsworth
Farm to see Elizabeth - one of them, a cold-blooded Killer...
