Grow Something New A Message from Pastor Shawn

Grow something new in our lives, oh God Grow something peaceful, grow something true Grow something new in our lives, oh God Grow something new, turn our hope back to you. Matt Frazier

When you live in a place that experiences the fullness of all four seasons, you observe the realities of the different kinds of plants: evergreens that stay green all year, no matter the weather; perennials, which “come back” every year after the winter seems to kill them off or make them dormant; and annuals, which live, often boldly, through the season and then are done once the cold weather comes. When I lived in Indiana, there were years when winter would come that I would wonder if certain plant would come back in the spring. Or I might forget that I had certain flowers planted in my yard until they came up again in the spring or early summer. Then there were the seeds or bulbs that I would plant in the late fall and I would wonder if they “took” until I would see them sprout in the spring. In the dead of winter, the evergreens were the only signs of life in the garden. And so, particularly in the snows of February (when you’re getting really tired of winter) you begin to wonder if spring will ever come and if all of those trees, plants and flowers will come to life any time soon.

Our theme this season of Lent is “Grow Something New.” A song by that title has become our “theme song” for our online worship services. As we go through another Lent and Holy Week with the habits and lifestyle that we have developed due to Covid-19, we may wonder how this Lenten season is any different than what we have been doing all year. I heard that someone has said that they were giving up Lent for Lent. But this Lent we are beginning to see the signs of the end of this year of limited and changed contact and connection. With each vaccination we come a step closer to resuming a life of more physically present interaction. We are beginning to think that well before year’s end we can be worshipping and meeting physically with one another. What will we find in bloom when we come back together. What has been planted and is now germinating that we will see coming up in the month’s ahead. What “new thing” is God growing in us as disciples and as a church? THIS Lenten season, let us be intentional about engaging in the disciplines that will enable us to hear God’s voice and to identify God’s work in our lives and in our world. Pray for glimpses of God’s dream for us and for an on-going clarity of vision. Set aside time to just be quiet before God and listen to God when you are doing ordinary things, like washing the dishes, taking a shower, mowing the lawn… Allow God to speak to you when you are with others “zooming” in a Bible study or a commission meeting, or just when you are talking on the phone. When you get insights, or “possible insights,” write them down, so that you can come back and prayerfully ponder them. The whole church is dependent on each of us listening to God as we look to the future direction that God has for us. Let us all open our hearts, minds, souls, and bodies to that new thing that God will grow in us.

Grace and Peace in Christ, Pastor Shawn

MI NI S T RY

God of Day and Night Pastor Nick Quient

Believe it or not, I was a pretty quiet kid in Sunday School. My teachers rarely if ever called on me, mostly because I had my nose in a book or was whispering with a friend. However, I recall a rather epic rendition of the Exodus event as retold by a particularly caffeinated teacher. “Did you know God came down as fire!?!?”

In the daytime he led them with a cloud, and all night long with a fiery light. 15 He split rocks open in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep. 16 He made streams come out of the rock, and caused waters to flow down like rivers. 14

(Psalm 78:14-16 NRSV)

Call me easily intrigued, but I was. The teacher then told us about the entire Exodus event, with varying degrees of historical accuracy but with all of the verve and passion of a Southern preacher. I was hooked. And then the teacher said something like, “and they stayed in the wilderness for forty years and thank God we’re no longer in the wilderness!” Of course, thinking about it now with Lent upon us, that seems a bit odd. Part of the Christian journey is living into times of distress and unease—or at least beginning to learn how to live into such times. Jesus prayed. The Spirit prays with us. God listens to us. Sometimes there is no easy way out of the wilderness and perhaps therein lies the problem—we’re uneasy and scared, and our mission is to get from the sand to safety. But sometimes the point is not in the destination, although the destination is important—the point is on how we put one foot in front of the other and remain in Christ. Trials come and go. Pain ebbs and flows. But the Holy Spirit is always there with us—especially in the wilderness. So do not be too anxious to leave the wilderness. Take some time to reflect and to pray. What might God be showing you? From where does my rescue come? What is God doing in my life? What have I ignored or overlooked? The flowers set in hard sand might be a sign to stop, look, and follow that plant to the next, and to the next, and then onto the great river beyond. It is in the little things that the Holy Spirit speaks and moves. Let those of us who are in the wilderness find consolation in the wilderness, where there is holy ground to be found.

Doing Something New by Richard W. Steffen, Minister of Music I like new. When some of the grass in my yard was looking bare, I planted new sod. When my peach tree had new blossoms, I knew that spring would be coming again. When Noelle wanted to find more bugs, we searched in new places for rocks to overturn. There’s one particular New Testament scripture that has always inspired me when I think about newness. “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.’ And the one who was seated on the throne said, ‘See, I am making all things new.’” (Revelation 21:1-5 NRSV) I find inspiration, comfort, and instruction when I read the Psalms. The Psalmist speaks of newness. “Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful. Let Israel be glad in its Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King. Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre.” (Psalm 149:1-3 NRSV) Last month we finished the season of Epiphany on Transfiguration Sunday. We remembered the transfiguration of Jesus, when Jesus and three of his disciples went to a mountain to pray. On that mountaintop, Jesus began to shine with bright rays of light. And then Moses and Elijah appeared next to him. That was certainly a new experience for the disciples! Our YouTube services have a song that gathers us. It is “Grow Something New.” Matt Frazier wrote this song in 1994, and we have used often as our Gathering Song through the years, especially during Epiphany. Here are the lyrics. “Lord, you’re the keeper of what you grow. You water, you guard, for fruit to show, for mercy and justice to flow. You planted the vineyard, our needs you know. Grow something new in our lives, oh God. Grow something peaceful, grow something true. Grow something new, turn our hope back to you.”

The 2nd stanza gives God the glory for breaking the wall between God and humankind through Jesus. And it encourages us to break down walls between us and others: “not many but one.” “You broke down the wall of hostility. You bring us near you so we can see who you want us to be: Not many but one for eternity.” Recently on a Thursday evening, I was in Field Hall at church. Thursdays and Sundays have been particularly meaningful for me throughout these past 48 years of church leadership. I was feeling perplexed that evening as I thought about what doing something new meant for me now. So the Psalmist and I had an honest chat. It went something like this: The Psalmist: Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, Me: Yeah, you know, I’ve been doing this “praising” thing awhile, and I know a lot of songs already. Now you want me to learn a new song? The Psalmist: His praise in the assembly of the faithful. Me: Easy for you to say, you have the Temple available to use. I can’t praise God in-person with ANYONE in my church sanctuary right now! The Psalmist: Let Israel be glad in its Maker. Me: Okay. Look, I’m not in Israel. Any advice for me in Redlands? The Psalmist: Let them praise his name with dancing. Me: Ever seen me dance? The Psalmist: Making melody to him. Me: Now that I can do: I can sing a melody, maybe even a new one. The Psalmist: With tambourine and lyre. Me: Our kids have lots of rhythm instruments that they enjoy playing. And you said “lyre”? We do have instruments similar to that. We are inspired – in-person and digitally – by guitar, bass, mandolin, harp, and banjo. Alright, I’m convinced. Now, like the Psalmist, I’m ready for that something new that God wants me to do. With you – digitally and in-person – I will praise the Lord and I will sing a new song! I will do something new! Thanks be to God.


by Pastor Nick Quient Loving God Infuse us with the power of your light Walk hand and hand with us through the valleys Guide us to the great and everlasting beyond Where our tears are no more Where our pain is bound and healed Where our heartache is rescued and fulfilled Where our fear is transformed into holy love Where our profane is renovated into the sacred Our wilderness is given to you. We pray that you—our North Star—would bring us home Bring us back to you In the name of the Father And the name of the Son And the name of the Holy Spirit Amen

C hildr e n ’s ministry

GROWING LOVE In the midst of the colder days of winter a fire was kindled. The kindling was the visit of our global servant Deliris Carrión-Joseph, a guest at the Children’s Sunday School Zoom gathering. The children wanted to know how they could help children and their families in Mexico during these cold winter months. Fast Forward as the fire continues to spark. Families gathered enough warm clothes, shoes and blankets to fill to the brim a small red hybrid electric vehicle. Gliding quietly (because it is electric) 130 miles south down the freeway, it pulled into a parking lot. The car pulled up to another small red Toyota Corolla and we flipped our trunks up. The many bags were dragged out of one car and into another. It took our body weight to stuff it into the waiting vehicle. As we headed home we could see in our rear view mirror the country where our brothers and sisters in Christ struggle. Our children’s love and generosity will make a difference to some other beloved children of God’s who reside so close to us in the United States. Yet they do not have many basic necessities to be comfortable in the colder months of winter.

The fire continued to burn in the hearts of our children. A packet of valentine crafty items were sent out to the families and envelopes were provided. Messages and photos of the children came flooding into me: our children busily working on art that could show their love to others. Many of you received these acts of love.

Showing love is a natural for our children. It is those of us who are adults that need to stoke the flame and provide models and opportunities for their love to grow. Each of our children have received the makings of a purple paper Lenten chain with 40 strips to aid in the process of growing love. There are suggestions on the purple strips to encourage prayer, sacrifice and giving. God is growing love in our children, PRAISE GOD!

Worldwide Prayer Concerns “But recall those earlier days when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and persecution, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.” Hebrews 10:32-33

MYANMAR Please continue praying for the nation of Myanmar as it suffers under the repression of the military junta. This recent crackdown is especially heartbreaking after the ways Myanmar had been changing for the better over the past decade. The military first seized power in a 1962 coup, ruling continuously until 2011. In the past, the military has been willing to be ruthless in order to preserve its power. For example, in 1988, they responded to protests with mass arrests and martial law. But the early 2000s seemed to bring about real change, as political prisoners were released and various reforms filtered through. The election of Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy party to parliament in 2012 signaled what seemed to be a new era for Myanmar. Thousands were removed from the blacklist and independent newspapers began publishing for the first time in half a century. In 2016, the NLD party won enough seats in parliament to form a government, displacing allies of the military. But though the 2020 elections resulted in another decisive win for the NLD, the military is claiming the results were fraudulent and staged another coup, arresting Aung San Suu Kyi and other leaders. The military has indicated that they plan to control the government for at least a year. Essential workers in areas such as health care and infrastructure have staged a general strike and citizens are marching in the streets to demand the military step down. These protests have been met with violence by the authorities, leading to injuries and deaths. Other protesters have been arrested in the middle of the night. A new law will punish protesters with up to 20 years in prison. Power and internet outages are used to limit communication and mobility. Tanks are rolling through major cities as the military desperately attempts to enforce its will. Other more frightening reports are emerging of children being drugged and forced to commit arson or other heinous acts; and dangerous criminals being released from incarceration in order to sow chaos in a community. All of this is especially disheartening for young adults who grew up seeing democracy on the rise in Myanmar and were hopeful for the future of their country. The new Roberts Mission School was something that was only possible because of the relaxing of government controls on education. Pray that the Holy Spirit would work in a powerful way to convict the hearts of the military leaders of the injustice they are perpetuating and convince them to peacefully step aside. Pray that God would provide a peaceful resolution to this crisis so that the citizens of Myanmar would not have to continue to suffer at the hands of the military. (The BBC has a good timeline here: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-pacific-12992883)

MEXICO Pray for our ABC Global Servant Jae Stockton, who was recently commissioned for service at the Baja Baptist Seminary in Mexicali. She will be using her information technology skills to help students and staff at the campus, as well as assisting with an online Masters program that is offering the expertise of Palmer Seminary to pastors in the region. In addition, she will be working to support the seminary with evangelism and discipleship. Praise God for the 100% of support that has been raised and for her successful commissioning. Pray that her skills would bless the seminary and its students.

MILLER - TRAYNER SCHOLARSHIP

by Gregg Sneller

Applications for the Miller-Trayhern Scholarship are now being accepted. Applications are available on the FBC Redlands website.

The Chapmans Glen and Rita have been instrumental in transforming the Kikongo pastoral training school into the Baptist University of Congo (UNIBAC). Glen is vice-rector of UNIBAC, where he teaches Old Testament, Hebrew, and Baptist history. Rita runs the library, teaches English, and works with the wives of theology students. Glen and Rita are both very much immersed in the life of the community and the church through village ministry, transportation, and environmental ministries such as beekeeping, raising rabbits for agricultural training, and planting trees for reforestation, lumber, firewood, charcoal, and fruit. In 1996-97 Glen and Rita were in Salem, OR. Before Glen left, we wrote a grant to the Mustard Seed Foundation and received seed money for a sawmill. Type into a search engine, “Glen Chapman Wood Mizer Sawmill” and you will hear an amazing story of how God used a sawmill and the creativity of God’s Spirit working through Glen in Kinshasa. Glen and Rita Chapman will be leaving their home in Kinshasa. They will come to the United States and live in Redlands in April. An apartment has been found, in fact the same one they lived in before. They will continue working for International Ministries for several months. Be in prayer for Glen and Rita as they bring their ministry work in Kinshasa to a close this month and as they leave their home and friends since childhood behind. Thanks to all of you for your prayers, financial support and care you have offered to Glen and Rita for years. God has done amazing work through Glen and Rita and that work has been possible because of faithful partners like our church family.
