CH URCH - WI DE P RAY ER VI GI L
“In Jesus’ death on the cross, God is speaking a profound message to
us, and this message of the cross has the power to save us – our
relationship with God and our relationships with others – and, in turn,
to save the world.” Adam Hamilton, Final Words From the Cross
The Spiritual Growth and Nurture Committee warmly
invites the members and friends of Webster
Presbyterian Church, the Church of God by Faith, and
Trinity Emmanuel Presbyterian Church to participate
in a church-wide Prayer Vigil, scheduled for April 3 –
5 in the WPC chapel. Sign-up sheets will be available
beginning March 15 in the Narthex.
As we prepare for the Prayer Vigil, plans are underway to
create a Community Prayer Chain. Prayer Packets, complete
with resources and instructions, are in process and will be
available March 15 - 29. “What is a Prayer Packet,” you may
ask? A Prayer Packet contains the resources necessary to
create each link of the prayer chain. In your packet you will
find: passages of Scripture, slips of paper, pencils and an
instruction card for completing each segment of the chain. As each
segment is completed, you will be invited to connect your prayers to the
Community Prayer Chain, which will reside on the cross in the Narthex
until the Prayer Vigil. The cross and the Community Prayer Chain will
then be moved to the Chapel for the duration of the Prayer Vigil.
Arrangements are being made to accommodate those interested in
participating in creating the Community Prayer Chain or in attending the
Prayer Vigil, but are unable to be present for whatever reason. If you are
planning on being away or are simply unable to be physically present, you
can still actively participate! Every prayer is vital! Please join us!
Dear Church Family,
We are in the midst of another Lenten season, and there will
be many opportunities for you and your families to worship,
study, fellowship, reflect and meditate on the
significance of our lives and what God has
accomplished through Jesus Christ. Please plan to take
advantage of as many of these offerings as you can!
Most of us are familiar with the first creation story in Genesis where God
created the heavens and the earth and all that is within them in six days and
then, on the seventh day, he rested. Well, it seems that God actually
finished creation twice, once at the end of the sixth day and then once more
on the seventh day. Quoting from a midrash, a medieval rabbi Rashi
claimed that after six days of divine work creation was not quite complete.
What it lacked, and thus what remained to be created, was menuha, the
Hebrew word meaning rest, tranquility, serenity and peace of God. Menuha
points us in the direction of the sort of happiness and harmony that come
from things being as they ought to be. When the Hebrew word shalom is
shared to greet or say goodbye, it is menuha that is being shared.
It means the capacity for happiness and delight, and it is suggested that this,
not the creation of human beings, is the crowning achievement of God’s
creative work. Without menuha, creation would lack an ultimate purpose
and meaning. God invites his creatures to bask in the glory of the divine
life which is our ultimate purpose. God’s intentions take precedent over our
own ways.
In this season of remembering and looking honestly and reflectively at our
individual and collective lives of faith, I pray that our disciplines will lead
us to yield our self-serving desires and designs that often cut us off from
God’s presence and purpose.
From Deuteronomy 8: 2-3:
“Remember the long way that the Lord your God has led you these
forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you, testing you to
know what is in your heart, whether or not you would keep his
commandments. He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by
feeding you with manna, with which neither you nor your ancestors
were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one does not
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of
God.”
- 2 -
We cannot live by ourselves and by our own wisdom and might. Lent
teaches us this truth, either for the first time or again if we have forgotten.
Let us commit ourselves in this holy season to honor the presence of God
in all things and to participate fully in God’s delight.
May Lenten disciplines and Easter joys be yours as we grow in faith
together.
In Christ’s Love and Service,
TOGETHER, IN CHRIST
The Praise Team invites you to join us for worship on the
first Sunday evening of every month. Worship begins at
5:00 p.m. (new time!) in the WPC Chapel. On March 1, we
will be offering the second installment of our Lenten series,
entitled Sticks and Stones.
“Together, In Christ” is a growing ministry in need of
musicians – vocalists and instrumentalists alike – who
love the Lord and are looking for ways to express their
love through song and sound. Can’t carry a tune? No
problem. We are also in the process of forming
worship teams to assist us during the “Together, In Christ” services, as
well as serving the greater Webster community.
Please contact Susan Garofalo (585-545-0601 or [email protected])
with your interest and your ideas!

Children’s Easter Party
Saturday, March 28
2:30 – 5:00 p.m.
Behind all of the colorful, candy-filled eggs and the stuffed
bunnies, there is a wonderful Easter story about love – the
story of the cross. The afternoon’s activities will include
music, stories, crafts and games as we take time to
reinforce the true meaning of Easter with the children.
Sign-up for this event is requested so that we can plan for supplies, snack
and enough adult/teen volunteers. Parents are not required to stay but are
welcome to! We will need extra volunteers from 4:00 – 5:00 during the
game portion of our afternoon.
Stop by the information table in the upper Narthex hallway to sign up to
help or to register your children or grandchildren to attend. Kids are always
encouraged to bring a friend!

One Great Hour of Sharing
Yes, WPC just finished collecting for Blankets +,
and beginning Sunday, March 15, we will turn our
attention to a charity that we and many other
Protestant churches have been supporting since the
1940’s – One Great Hour of Sharing. The Mission
Committee is constantly presenting charities that
are needy, but it makes no apology for doing so
because that is exactly the task that you have
given it! OGHS is certainly one of the oldest that
we have continually and generously helped over the years.
Do you remember that the monies WPC collects during OGHS are
divided between Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, Presbyterian Hunger
Program and (Presbyterian) Self-Development of People? Can you think
of three areas where our contributions are more needed?
Our congregation has another opportunity to make a difference in the
lives of many people. Please be generous in your support.

Presbyterian Men’s Fellowship
Thanks to Jay Petrino for his informative lesson on the use
of our mobile Internet devices on February 7th at the PMF
breakfast. We learned how to receive the church’s Wi-Fi
signal and connect to the church website and Facebook
page. Jay also provided a list of other church-related
websites that members may be interested in visiting. The church
Technology Committee continues to add more capability to our resources
for presentations of audiovisual materials in various rooms in the church.
The next PMF event will be a Saturday morning breakfast on April 11.
The topic is yet to be confirmed. Watch for more information!

MISSION NEWS
GOVERNING BODIES RELATIONS
Adult Mission Work Trip to New Jersey in April 2015
There will be another mission trip to work on Hurricane Sandy recovery
near the coast of New Jersey from April 12 to 18. We will be
staying at the Point Pleasant Presbyterian Church in Point
Pleasant Beach, NJ, where we stayed for our very
successful and rewarding September 2014 trip. About
sixteen folks have already signed up for this trip, and three
or four others are “maybe’s.” If you are interested in going
on this trip and haven’t already registered, there may still be room; please
contact Brad Adams at [email protected] or at 585-698-3229. If
you are unable to go on the trip but would like to help with the team’s
expenses, you may do so by contributing to “Adult Mission Trip Expenses”
and placing your contribution in the offering plate or bringing it to the
church office.
2016 Kenya Mission Trip
Early planning is underway for a mission trip to Kenya in September 2016.
No exact plans have yet been made, but we expect to
leave shortly after Labor Day and be gone for nearly
three weeks. If you have not already done so and are
potentially interested in going on this trip or have
questions, please contact one of the trip leaders: Brad
Adams (585-698-3229), Dick McNeary (671-5232) or
Eleanor Scott (787-0802).
Information Meeting
There will be an informational meeting regarding the
upcoming Genesee Valley Presbytery vote on March 21
regarding the proposed change in the denomination’s Book of
Order section on marriage, which includes the change in
wording from “…between a man and a woman” to
“…between two persons, traditionally a man and a woman.” However,
there are additional changes that many may not be aware of.
The meeting will be held from 9 to 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, March 8, in
Room 9/10, and it will focus on the process that the denomination is
conducting to either affirm or reject the proposed changes, a side-by-side
comparison of the current language and the proposed language, and an
up-to-date tally of the denomination’s voting at that time. The meeting is
NOT intended as a forum for debating the proposed changes, although
participants will have an opportunity to ask questions. WPC’s four voting
delegates to the Presbytery meeting – Pastor Larry, Rev. Eileen, Fred
Denson and Al Durbin – will be present at the meeting.
Copies of the side-by-side comparison document are available at the
Welcome Center in the Narthex for those interested in reviewing the
proposed changes before the meeting. In addition, it is important to note
that pastors will be afforded the option whether or not to conduct a samesex marriage (in states where such marriages are legal), as is the current
case for traditional marriages, and individual church Sessions will retain
the right to forbid same-sex marriages in their facilities or on their
property, regardless of the final outcome of the denomination’s vote.
TRUSTEES’ CORNER
Our friends at Heritage Christian Services have asked for a
designated parking space on Sunday mornings. Their bus
requires extra space to maneuver, so the traditional spaces
do not work well. The Trustees are pleased to announce
that we have granted their request. The space closest to
the building on the north side will be reserved for the
Heritage bus on Sunday mornings. We have placed a
temporary sign in the space until we can have a permanent one made
and installed. We thank everyone for their cooperation to allow our
friends easier access to the building.
Reminder: As winter does not want to give up its icy grip, please
continue to use caution in the parking lots and sidewalks. Our plowing
contractor has done an exceptional job keeping the lots clear, but as we
all know, snow happens! As we transition into spring and experience
the spring thaw/freeze cycle, take extra care in your footing. With a
little luck (and some prayer!), this will be the last of the cold, cold
weather.

PRESCHOOL BOOK FAIR!!
Webster Presbyterian Preschool will be holding a
Scholastic Book Fair on March 23 – 26. The church

the Preschool, Webster Presbyterian
Church, and the community are invited to stop by and
shop for something special. The bookstore will be open
each day from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2:15 to

Join in the church-wide study of Final Words from the Cross on either
Wednesday evenings at 7:00 or Sunday mornings at 10:45. What would it
have been like to witness the crucifixion? Adam Hamilton,
pastor of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection
in Leawood, Kansas, will help us “examine Christ’s dying
hours and His final words as seen and heard through the
eyes and ears of those who stood near the cross.” Books are
available in the church office or at the video/teaching
sessions for $5. Anne Marie Stewart writes, “It is the
experience of genuine grief that prepares for joy…The
disciples approached the Resurrection from their bereavement. But for us,
who return backward into the past, the Resurrection comes first and we
miss the disciples’ terrible, wonderful preparation.” Participate in Adult
Education, your Small Group, or read the book to prepare for the true joy of
Easter morning. All sessions take place in Room 9/10.
March 8 & 22: Coffee & Conversation - Get a cup of
coffee and return to the Sanctuary for a follow-up
conversation on the morning’s text, sermon and worship.
Come with questions, comments and thoughts, and we will
be one another’s teachers!

SESSION NOTES
At its February meeting on February 9,
• Session voted to approve expenditure of funds
for the renovation of the Memorial Room as
recommended by the Board of Trustees. This,
again, will be a project supervised by Gary
Maier, so members will have the chance to help with the labor.
• Session began a year-long prayer initiative that was started by the
Membership Committee. Each month, members of Session will
be praying for about one-twelfth of those in the church until the
end of the year, when all will have been included. We thank
Dianne Reidy and the Membership Committee for getting us
started with this.
What do you think about our Sunday morning worship times? Session is
discussing whether we should keep the existing 8:00 and 9:30 morning
worship times or make some adjustments. We expect
that the 8:00 time will remain as it is, but if you think
we should consider or not consider changing the 9:30
time to a different time, please speak to a member of
Session or contact Tony Hubbard ([email protected] or 2651224). A decision will not be made until sometime in the spring.
The Presbytery of the Genesee Valley recently voted to include the Belhar
Confession in the Book of Confessions of the national denomination.
Inclusion of the confession will require a 2/3 approval of all presbyteries.
In March, the local presbytery will vote on the proposed change to the
Book of Order regarding the definition of marriage. Please see the
separate article on page 7 regarding this proposal and an announcement
about the informational meeting to be held between services on March 8.
If you desire to learn more about the national church and the various
resources, programs and proposals offered, you may visit the website at
www.pcusa.org.
PATHWAY DEADLINE!!
The deadline for the April issue of The Pathway is Friday, March 20.
Articles can be brought to the church office or emailed
to
[email protected]
and
[email protected]. (As always, when emailing the office, be sure to send items to both
Georgia and Karen to help ensure that your message
gets through if one of us is not in the office.)

DEACONS’ DOINGS
Care Packages: The Deacons are preparing to send out care packages to
help our college freshmen through the stress of their spring
finals. Donations of store-bought, individually wrapped
snacks (e.g., candy, cookies, crackers, gum, etc.), along with
small study aids (e.g., Post-It Notes, pens, highlighters, etc.),
would be much appreciated. Please bring donations to the
church office by March 30.
Food Barrel: The Williamson Come-Unity Center always appreciated our
non-perishable food contributions. During March, let us focus our attention
on food items of peanut butter, canned and boxed milk, cereals of all kinds,
and tuna and chicken in cans. Of course, jelly with peanut butter is always
a treat! Items are delivered to the Center monthly, or as our response
indicates.
Jelly Beans: Our church family will also be supporting the
Webster Community Chest Easter Basket program by
collecting 50 bags of jelly beans. Please place donations in
the designated box in the church office.
FROM OUR PRINT LIBRARY . . .
The Church Library has quite a collection of books by
Max Lucado, an inspirational writer and speaker, minister,
and family man. Many of his books are suitable for Small Groups and
include a discussion guide. He uses scripture throughout his books and
reminds us of God’s love. These books are located in the Prayer and
Meditation section of the library.
The Applause of Heaven is one of his oldest books and is based on the
Beatitudes. It is much more than a “How to” book on happiness and joy.
He reminds us that God’s love for his children is the message of the Bible
and the message of this book.
In Next Door Savior: Near Enough to Touch, Strong Enough to Trust,
Lucado tells us that we have a friend in high places. According to the
Bible, Christ was both fully God and fully man – our next door neighbor.
Life gets tangled. People mess up. You never outgrow the urge to look up
and say, “Help”! The fact that it is hard to imagine how God hears a
million requests does not mean he can’t or doesn’t hear them. He can and
does.
LECTIONARY PASSAGES FOR MARCH 2015

SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND NURTURE
Prayer Times
The WPC Prayer Group meets every Saturday at 9:00 a.m. in
the Prayer Room (Room 1). You are welcome to join us as
we read scripture, share the praises and concerns of our
church family, and pray together.
Prayer partners will be ready and waiting to pray with you
under the cross following our 9:30 a.m. worship service. Plans are in place
to extend this ministry to the 8:00 a.m. worship service in the very near
future. If you are interested in serving as a prayer partner for either service,
please contact Susan Garofalo (585) 545-0601.
Prayer Corner
This month, the Spiritual Growth and Nurture Committee invites
you to join us as we pray for our neighbor, Webster Comfort
Care. For years, with the help of local hospice agencies, WCC
has offered tender care to terminally ill patients and their
families. It is all-at-once challenging and rewarding work.
Pray for them as they
continue to offer excellent, loving
care to those so desperately in
need.
Keep praying!
