    Every meeting of the Outreach Task Force began
by reading a story from the life and ministry of Jesus.
In reading, we noticed several things: Jesus often did
his ministry by going out to the people and meeting
them where they were. Jesus cared for the whole of
a person: their spiritual life, physical health, and
societal well-being. Jesus loved with humility and
without judgment. Those who met Jesus were
usually moved to praise, astonishment, or to go tell
others about the goodness they experienced in
Jesus.

                         Let us together follow the one who is called, Immanuel - God with us.
        Over the course of the next few months we will follow the story of Jesus from the Gospel of Matthew,
his birth to baptism; from the backcountry to the holy city; from his triumphal entry to his coronation by crucifixion;
      from his death to resurrection; from his going up to heaven unto his sending the Holy Spirit to the church.
                          I hope that you join us as we learn of Jesus who makes God known
                                and who invites us to become who God created us to be!

THE LIFE OF LYNNWOOD - Lynnwood Reformed Church
Lynnwood welcomed seven to the family of faith on Sunday, December 23, 2018.
Here is a little more about our newest members:
‘Helen' Bernice (Turney) Borgia
     I don't go by Helen, but since my retirement and my collecting Social Security, which has my 'legal' name, I have to use at least
Helen B. Borgia on most documents. I was born at home in the Cotati family home, where I lived until I was nineteen years old. In
June of 1962, I moved to Washington, D.C. were I worked for the Bureau of Naval Personnel. In 1990, I divorced my husband and
'found myself.' I went to work for New York State Education Department, and after 20 years State Service, I retired in 2011 and
have enjoyed my retirement.
     I was brought up in the Christian Science church. About 1974, I converted to the Episcopal faith with adult baptism at St.
John's Church (Episcopal), Centreville, VA. With husband Tom's heart attack in 1979, we relocated to Delmar, NY. I continued with
St. Stephen's (Episcopal) until 1990.I enjoy my crocheting projects as well as my research in Genealogy.
     I am excited to be a part of the Lynnwood family. Since first visiting Lynnwood, I felt like I 'belonged.' All the Lynnwood
members received Marian, Jackie and myself, as though we'd always been a part of the church. I have a renewed faith in God.
I have, as usual, written a novel, about my life. "Take what you like, and leave the rest."
     Bernice is the mother of Marian Truax and the grandmother of Jackie Truax.
Marian Truax
     I was born in Centerville, VA and moved with my family to Delmar, NY when I was 5. I was raised and confirmed in the
Episcopal faith. Recent events led me to Lynnwood where I found the fellowship and ministry that I was seeking. I love all things
artistic including playing violin/cello, knitting, crocheting, painting and reading. I am excited to be a part of Lynnwood's family as
they truly are a family to me.
     Marian is the daughter of Bernice Borgia and mother of Jackie.
Elise Burby
    I grew up in Altamont and went through the Guilderland district, then went to Utica College, and graduated in May with a
degree in liberal studies and childhood/special education. I am a soldier in the New York National Guard, with whom I drill once a
month as the CBRN specialist for the battalion. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, having adventures and spending time with
loved ones. I did not have a very religious upbringing, so I did not really come to faith until I had a series of experiences here at
Lynnwood and while in training for the army. I love attending church here at Lynnwood because in this warm, accepting
congregation I feel the love and community we share in Christ, and I look forward to learning more and serving alongside my
brothers and sisters in faith.
    Elise is the daughter of Ruth Anne Burby.
Ruth Anne Burby
     I grew up in Knox, NY, up on "The Hill" as they refer locally to the Helderberg Mountains. Now I live at the foot of those
mountains in Altamont. Currently, I have the privilege and joy of raising four children, ages 22, 20, 14 and 11. I have been involved
in the PTAs at their schools for several years and am currently the president of the Farnsworth Middle School PTA. I recently
rediscovered that I was baptized at the Woodlawn Reformed Church in Schenectady, but I do not have any memory of attending
church as a child. I first enjoyed the experience of Lynnwood Church through joining voices at concerts with the church choir while
singing as a member of Suburban Sounds. I have always loved singing and have been happy to lend my voice to the church choir
over the the past few years during holiday services. I have never felt very comfortable at most church services until coming to
Lynnwood. I find that both Pastors' sermons relate to everyday life. I am excited to join the Lynnwood community and discovering
more of what faith means in my life.
     Ruth Anne is the mother of Elise Burby.
Greg Comparetta
    I've lived in Guilderland my whole life. I was raised Catholic, but began attending the Reformed Church when I met my wife,
Shannon. I enjoy traveling with my family and being outdoors. I am excited to be a part of the Lynnwood family because of the
opportunities to grow and be involved as a family in faith.
    Greg is the husband of Shannon Comparetta, and father of Andrew and Nicholas.
Chad DeMania
    I grew up in Schenectady NY and was raised Roman Catholic but grew away from church in adulthood. I enjoy being active and
helping out in the community. I am excited to begin a new chapter here at Lynnwood and grow as an individual and family.
    Chad is the husband of Jessica and father of Alyssa, Amelia, Ansley, and Audrey.
Jessica DeMania
    I grew up in Gansevoort NY, was raised Methodist and spent a couple years in a non-denominational church. I enjoy being
enriched and surrounded by the world’s natural beauty and take great pleasure in spending quality time with family and friends. I
am enthusiastic to become a member of the Lynnwood family and further grow in my faith.
    Chad is the wife of Chad and mother of Alyssa, Amelia, Ansley, and Audrey.
The beginning of Advent, the first Sunday in
   December, was Gift Giving Sunday. We collected
   many gifts for children and gave them to the
   City Mission for their annual "Christmas Store",
   where parents can "shop" for gifts for their
   children.

   This year we collected 150 gifts. Upon delivery,
   we were met by Mike Saccocio, given hugs and
   many thanks for our generosity and support.

   A great big hug to you all at Lynnwood, and may
   you all be blessed this Christmas as you continue
   to be a blessing to so many others.

   Sincerely, Peg Kniskern for the Mission Team

This past month at consistory we . .
  Received a report from the Outreach Task Force which included a definition about what Outreach is and isn’t,
  recommendations for outreach opportunities, a statement about measuring success as how much we ‘try’, and a
  recommendation to have outreach become a part of all we do at Lynnwood.
  Received an outline of this year’s budget from the Stewardship Team and approved the budget after lengthy
  discussion.
  Approved hosting a Summer School program called TSL Adventures for an all day kids program during July and August.
  Discussed leading the next Brooks BBQ and decided the chair persons to be Joanne
  Cogswell and Sue Weinberg.

                                       You may give on the Lynnwood website.

Fostering and Deepening Community with God and Others
    You are invited to explore becoming a facilitator of a small group. A facilitator
exploration and training session is scheduled for Saturday, January 26, 9:00 - 3:00.
Our next small groups will be during the six weeks of Lent 2019 (March 6 through
April 21). Maybe you have trained and are hearing the call to lead. Maybe you feel the
need for a refresher. Maybe you are slightly curious about small group facilitation and wondering if it is for you …
is God calling you?
     Each group facilitator chooses the day and time for the group to meet with sessions being 1½hours in duration.
As a facilitator you choose a topic that you are passionate about and which personally engages you: Bible study, book
discussion, video discussion, contemporary issues, support groups, for example: grandparenting, parenting teenagers,
stress management … the sky's the limit. The secret is that your passion on the topic will pull the group together.
Can’t come up with a topic? No problem, contact Kay and Bill who will gladly help you discover a topic waiting to be
defined that will excite you, or come to the training and discover a passion God has gifted/chosen for you. There is no
obligation if you attend a training. Just come and explore the possibility that God is calling you to small group
facilitation and a ministry for Lynnwood Church.
For more Information contact coaches Bill and Kay Grosch (518-869-7479).
Please let us know by Sunday, January 19 if you plan to attend, so we can better plan the training.

 LYNNWOOD HAS A HEART FOR OTHERS!
 This year marks our 28th year of participation in Project Angel Tree!
 Through the joint effort of the Lynnwood Family and Friends, Christmas was much brighter for
 26 Families living in the Schenectady area. Forty eight (48) children received gifts from their
 incarcerated relative (Dad / Mom / Grandma). 96 gifts were provided for these children by Lynnwood folk and
 beautifully wrapped and returned for distribution by volunteers of the congregation.
 Project Angel Tree doesn’t just happen! A great big THANK YOU to:
   Initial phone calls were made to the Caretaker of each child to learn wants wishes of each child by Kathy Ader,
   Eileen Brown, Cindy Colloton, Joanne Gorczyca, Betsy Hollander, Peg Kniskern, Sandy Lundstedt, Janice Shaffer
   and Sharon Sobieski.
   Bob Paquette for securing driving directions (Google Directions) for each of the 26 deliveries.
   Thanks to shopping elves, Jane Brehm and Jean and Don Dean.
   To each individual who purchased gifts (it was delightful to see so many young people choose an Angel Tag).
   Delivery Volunteers Kathy & Jim Ader, Dianna & Larry Bopp, Walt Cogswell, Don & Jean Dean, Betsy Hollander,
   Peg Kniskern, Anna & Charlie Miller, Donna & Bob Paquette and Rik Schlierer. This project could not happen
   without you.
   To Jane Brehm, Cindy Colloton, Pat Johnson and Judy Zielinski for assisting with sorting and packaging all of the
   gifts in preparation for delivery.
   Thanks to Jan Mason who helped out in numerous ways throughout the 8 weeks of preparation for “our gifting.”
 As I mentioned at the beginning of the article - It doesn’t just happen, but by many folks working together,
 WE SERVED BEYOND OUR DOORS!
 Thank you and have a very Happy and Fulfilling New Year!

JOINT EFFORT PROVES SUCCESSFUL BROOKS’ BBQs
Through the efforts of many willing workers the October and December Brooks’ BBQs were most successful.
Seeing folks of all ages working together was just wonderful!
Special thanks to October Coordinators; Senior Singles and Lynnwood Women, and December Coordinators:
Building & Property and Worship & Music teams.
So organized and so efficient. Thank you!
Brownie Bakers outdid themselves. We had plenty of brownies which add the “Lynnwood Touch” to each dinner
(many churches do not provide goodies).
Our BBQs operate like a “well oiled machine.” Many repeat customers compliment us on our procedure.
It does take many, many folks working together. THANK YOU!
THE YOUNG PEOPLE ADD SUCH A SPECIAL TOUCH running orders to each vehicle. You are tops!
Did you notice Lynnwood’s new “poke in the ground signs” in various parts of the town? (the more signs, the better to
get the word out)
In terms of monetary accomplishment, the Lynnwood Budget realized a profit of $2,627.84 in October and $2,011.00
in December. Fantastic! Thank you!
