CALL TO ALL 10 31 2018 OK, it’s Scarey Time! No, I am not talking about today. I am speaking of next Tuesday, November 6th if we do not get some replacements for the really scarey guys in places of fake power (the real power is in our hands if we play it right). I love women who are not scared to run on real issues like protecting the environment and not killing us with assault weapons. That is Kimberly in Michigan’s 10th. I love the thought of breaking up the old boys club in Pennsylvania. Both Bibiana in the 14th and Susan in the 15th Districts could accomplish that. I just made my donations. Let’s get our Michigan and Pennsylvania friends fired up to help. MICH. 10TH DISTRICT Kimberly Bizon (D) Environmental activist Bizon is running on a progressive platform that includes environmental protection and gun control. Bizon is a first-time candidate. She faces a male opponent in the general election. PA. 14TH DISTRICT Bibiana Boerio (D) Former Ford executive, U.S. House chief of staff A win by Boerio or any of the seven other women on the ballot would break up Pennsylvania’s all-male delegation. Boerio is a first-time candidate. She faces a male opponent in the general election. PA. 15TH DISTRICT Susan Boser (D) College professor A win by Boser or any of the seven other women on the ballot would break up Pennsylvania’s all-male delegation. Boser is a first-time candidate. She faces a male opponent in the general election. Sent from my iPad

CALL TO ALL 10 30 2018 One week to go and I am just trying to keep my spirit from sagging. While our “nazionaliste-in-chief” is in Pittsburgh trying to act compassionate without a clue as to how or why, I choose to focus on the future and what it will mean when we have women like those below who have answered the call in leadership roles in our nation’s governing structures. I made my donation just to vote for what is possible. MM FLA. 18TH DISTRICT Lauren Baer (D) Lawyer and consultant Baer worked at the State Department during the Obama adminstration. The 18th District is being targeted for a pickup by Democrats. She faces a male opponent in the general election. IND. 4TH DISTRICT Tobi Beck (D) Army veteran Beck is a first-time candidate. She faces a male opponent in the general election. TEX. 14TH DISTRICT Adrienne Bell (D) Elementary school teacher She faces a male opponent in the general election. Sent from my iPad

Hi Folks, As we process the events of last week I am forwarding three pieces of music that we heard/came across on our trip last week (PCUSA meeting/worship/FB)--maybe you can use them in your church/community--or just personally. Part of our trip was in Pittsburgh, a city mourning...but resilient... 1-I Believe in the Sun, by Mark Miller (used during worship at PCUSA Hunger Program meeting) 2-Walk in Peace--Sally Ann Morris (used at Forest Hill Church, Presbyterian last Sunday (link below, but a different arrangement was used as explained below) 3-O God, This Day We Grieve, by Carolyn Winfrey Gillette (saw on FB, written after Pittsburgh massacre at Tree of Life Synagogue) Ellie :)elliestock@aol.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .AOLWebSuite .AOLAttachedImage {max-width:275px; max-height:275px;} .AOLWebSuite .AOLPicturesFullSizeLink { height: 1px; width: 1px; overflow: hidden; } .AOLWebSuite a {color:blue; text-decoration: underline; cursor: pointer} .AOLWebSuite a.hsSig {cursor: default} .AOLWebSuiteM1 {margin: 10px 20px 4px;} .AOLWebSuiteM2 {margin: 5px;} .AOLWebSuiteM3 {margin: 10px;} .dmItemSelected {padding: 2px !important;text-decoration: none !important;color:#fff !important;background-color: #656565 !important;border-radius: 2px;} 1. Song, “I Believe” By Mark Miller - Longwood University blogs.longwood.edu/ashleygaunt/tws-literacy-applications/songSong, “I Believe” By Mark Miller. The song that I have chosen to go along with my TWS is called, “I Believe” arranged by Mark Miller. The words of the song were found etched into the wall of Auschwitz. The words are: I believe in the sun even when it’s not shining. I believe in love even when I don’t feel it. #yiv7990942747 .yiv7990942747AOLWebSuite .yiv7990942747AOLAttachedImage {max-width:275px;max-height:275px;}#yiv7990942747 .yiv7990942747AOLWebSuite .yiv7990942747AOLPicturesFullSizeLink {min-height:1px;width:1px;overflow:hidden;}#yiv7990942747 .yiv7990942747AOLWebSuite a {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;}#yiv7990942747 .yiv7990942747AOLWebSuite a.yiv7990942747hsSig {cursor:default;}#yiv7990942747 .yiv7990942747AOLWebSuiteM1 {margin:10px 20px 4px;}#yiv7990942747 .yiv7990942747AOLWebSuiteM2 {margin:5px;}#yiv7990942747 .yiv7990942747AOLWebSuiteM3 {margin:10px;}#yiv7990942747 .yiv7990942747dmItemSelected {padding:2px !important;text-decoration:none;color:#fff;background-color:#656565;border-radius:2px;}2. The piece linked below "Walk in Peace" (Walk in Peace, Walk in Beauty) by Sally Ann Morris was used in last Sunday's service at Forest Hill Church, Presbyterian (Cleveland Heights) as a men's trio introit. I don't know what arrangement was used, but I can find out. At the beginning of the service (after some words by the pastor and a prayer sent by a Jewish colleague, remembering those killed at the Tree of Life Synagogue, the first man walked down the aisle, singing alone, a capella, ending at the front of the sanctuary and facing the congregation. He sang the verse through a couple of times, then a second man came from one side of the chancel, singing another part of the song and joined the first man in front. Then the third man came from the other side of the chancel, singing a third part with the other two. It was beautifully moving. In the link below, the pace for the SATB arrangement is faster and uses a drum beat, like a processional march. But for last Sunday's service, the slower pace, a capella and just the three men was perfect. Slower pace, with other voices or the whole choir would work, also. But having them sing and move into place added an element of drama. Walk in Peace (SATB ) by Sally Ann Morris| J.W. Pepper ... www.jwpepper.com/Walk-in-Peace/10486987.ritemWalk in Peace. Sally Ann Morris - GIA Publications Walk in Peace. Sally Ann Morris - GIA Publications. Click to review . Publisher Desc. Good for use throughout the liturgical year, this ostinato piece has a march-like quality that beautifully suits any procession. The repetitive refrain is especially suitable for Communion 3.

CALL TO ALL 10 29 2018 How to respond to the events of the past week?! I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood in North Minneapolis in the ‘40s. I delivered newspapers to my neighbors and saw the tattoos on the arms of some of the lucky ones. Some of my lifelong friends are from that neighborhood, even though we do not keep in close touch today. We are only eight days from an election which could make a start in reigning in the outlandish rhetoric and behavior now “reigning” in our nation’s capitol and scattered throughout our land. I have decided to choose three women candidates each of the next eight days in hopes that we can make such a start. Here below are my first three, who may be “underdogs” but could be elected if enough of us wake up in time. N.C. 5TH DISTRICT Denise D. "DD" Adams (D) Winston-Salem council member She faces a female opponent in the general election. Denise D. Adams (DD) is a native of Winston-Salem and a passionate servant of the community. DD has served as Council Member for the North Ward of Winston-Salem since 2009, and is currently serving as Vice Chair of the Finance Committee and the Community Development/Housing/General Government Committee. TEX. 12TH DISTRICT Vanessa M. Adia (D) Science teacher Adia is a first-time candidate. She faces a female opponent in the general election. Vanessa has been a leader and change maker from a young age. She came to Tarrant County in 1998 to attend Texas Christian University, where she studied religion and philosophy. During that time, she served as director of youth ministry at WestWind Church in Keller, TX. Her work with the youth in monthly service projects led her to pursue a masters of science in social work with a focus in non-profit management. MICH. 3RD DISTRICT Cathy Albro (D) Teacher and small-business owner Albro will face Rep. Justin Amash (R) in the general election. Albro is a first-time candidate. She faces a male opponent in the general election. Cathy is a gifted teacher, successful small-business owner, and grandmother. As a 37-year resident of Michigan’s 3rd District, Cathy has made it her life’s work to fight for the health and education of our nation’s children. Sent from my iPad

CALL TO ALL 10 28 2018 I may be disheartened at what happened to the Packers in their almost comeback victory over the Rams today, and a little down over the performance of the Dodgers, but I refuse to give up on electing good women to Congress. So in honor of my wife whose home state is Wisconsin, and fully conscious of the horrors of this week and the grief of the families in Pittsburgh, I cast my vote for relief and civility by donating to Margaret’s campaign. WIS. 7TH DISTRICT Not favored to win Margaret R. Engebretson (D) Lawyer and veteran Engebretson was inspired to run by the 2016 election and the belief that the country was heading in the wrong direction. Engebretson is a first-time candidate. She faces a male opponent in the general election. Sent from my iPad

CALL TO ALL 10 26 2018 I try to keep myself UP in the face of all the upset to my constitution going on in the Republic today, to say nothing about the upset to THE CONSTITUTION. I can’t wait to see how our Distractor in Chief is going to try to spin this rash of bomb attempts. And yet the Republican “base” seems to be hanging in there with him. So I console myself with having found another woman candidate, in New Jersey no less. It was in my years of travel throughout the east that I learned about “roundabouts.” I never understood why, but I guess there is evidence they cut down on accidents. And now they are popping up in California, land of the free—-way! Perhaps MikIe Sherrill can go to Congress and help cut down on the “accident waiting to happen” there in Washington. N.J. 11TH DISTRICT Competitive race Mikie Sherrill (D) Former Navy helicopter pilot, federal prosecutor Sherrill, a first-time candidate who was inspired to run after the 2016 election, handily won her primary against numerous opponents. Sherrill is a first-time candidate. She faces a male opponent in the general election. Sent from my iPad
