One of my heroes is a man named Will Campbell. Will was a self-described “Mississippi redneck” who ended up at Yale Divinity School studying to be a minister. He got involved in the beginnings of the Civil Rights movement and was the only white man present at the founding of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, featuring Martin Luther King, Jr. and his associates. He attended all the big marches and helped scort the black children into their school in Little Rock in the face of angry mobs.

Halfway through the Civil Rights era, Will concluded that Jesus came for all of us—haters and hated alike. So, he became a chaplain for the KKK. He became unpopular with the left and the right. But he loved many people into change. His easygoing manner cut across sharp divisions of racial hatred and helped many people to see the humanity of the other side.

One of the reasons I often return to Will’s writings is that they are timely for our time today. Sharp divisions divide our world and a voice that brings us together is desperately needed. Our Movie Night June 12 will feature a documentary about his life called “God’s Will.” This hour-long look at his remarkable life was produced by the Center for Public Television and features interviews with people like Jimmy Carter, John Lewis and Waylon Jennings, showing Will’s influence on many different leaders of the day.

At the same time, Jennifer is showing “Wreck it Ralph” to our kids. Ralph is a great movie about acceptance of others and will make a great companion for our movie. Adults will have time for good discussion following “God’s Will” about our own journey to accept others. A great lead in to our “Elephants In The Room” sermon series. So come out for dinner at 6:00 and be ready for a stimulating look at a remarkable life. 

Be sure to sign up for dinner at www.fcccedmond.org/register so we have food for you!

Over the past month we’ve been talking about the ways First Christian Church is Here For Good. Through our Here For Good capital campaign we hope to raise $600,000 to refresh some of our common spaces and entry points, provide new wayfinding signage, better illuminate our worship space, and visually interpret our mission and vision to all who enter. Our facilities are showing signs of wear and tear because we are using them and sharing them for the GOOD of our community! The Here For Good campaign picks up where our Moving Forward drive leaves off, and will also allow us to continue making our construction note payment for the last capital improvements we made, including our parking lot, playground, and children’s classroom improvements.

As of June 5, we have received 81 pledges for a total of $352,568! Our Giving Task Force hopes to conclude this pledge drive by the end of June and reach our goal of $600,000 in commitments to give during the 2020-2021 giving period. While not everyone can give at the same level, all gifts of any amount will help move us closer to our goal and help us to sustain the GOOD WE DO HERE. 

To read more about the Here For Good proposed projects, the reasons behind them, or to make your pledge now, visit www.fccedmond.org/hereforgood or pick up a brochure and pledge card from the rotunda. Our church board and the 2019 Giving Task Force thank you for your commitment to helping us remain Here For Good!

God’s love is made known through our partnerships with Ida Freeman Elementary, Week of Compassoin and other wonderful organizations. We are highlighting Ida Freeman and Week of Compassion for our Summer Special Offering which will be received June 9 through July 9. As everyone knows, these past few weeks have been filled with rains, tornados, and flooding throughout the central part of the country. 

As Disciples we are called to care for those in need. We do that most effectively when we partner with agencies such as Week of Compassion. They are already on the ground responding with support for victims tornados and floods from El Reno, OK to Jefferson City, MO and across the US. You can designate your gift towards Week of Compassion or Ida Freeman Elementary. There are summer offering envelopes in the pews or give online through First Christian’s Givelify app. Thank you for your extravagant generosity!

In every life, in every home, in every church, there exist certain problems, certain realities that we don’t want to acknowledge. Those issues we try to ignore so maybe they will just go away. You know what I’m talking about. Those “elephants in the room”. To address some of these ignored topics we’ll be having a seven-week sermon series this summer and considering ways we can better respond to those “Elephants In The Room.” 

We’ll be looking at the things like addiction, prejudices, commitment, debt, abuse, mental health, and other complicated things in our lives. The series launches June 23 and concludes August 4. We’ll hear from four ministers during the series, including Rev. Cara Gilger who will join us Sunday, June 30 to give insights into “Praying When It’s Complicated.” Cara grew up here at FCC and is the daughter of our own Jackie Booher. She’ll be speaking during our Summer Sunday School that day as well and will share from the new book 99 Prayers: Prayers Your Church Needs (But Doesn’t Know It Yet).

Amazingly, our kids collected over 500 items of non-perishable food for the HOPE Center of Edmond – meeting their goal!
