Naomi’s Tree:  Joy Kogawa was six years old in 1942 when her family and all the Japanese-Canadian community on the West Coast was classified as enemy aliens and removed from their homes – the Internment!  Sixty years later she returned to Vancouver and found her house.  A new cherry tree was then planted in the yard using a cutting from the old dying tree.  The City of Vancouver took several more slips and planted the cherry trees that can still be seen around City Hall.  The Kogawa voice is a Christian voice.  Her story is also told in her novel Obasan (1981), in Naomi’s Road (1986) and in today’s Naomi’s Tree (2011).

L: Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so you will live in the land, and enjoy security.

L: Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;
All: Do not fret over those who prosper in their way,
   over those who carry out evil devices.
L: Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath.
Do not fret—it leads only to evil.
All: For the wicked shall be cut off,
   but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.

Responsive Call to Worship: Psalm 1
L: Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
All: but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
   and who meditates on his law day and night.
L: That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
All: and whose leaf does not wither—
   whatever they do prospers.
L: Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
All: For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
   but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

L: Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!
I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God all my life long.
All: Do not put your trust in princes,
   in mortals, in whom there is no help.
When their breath departs, they return to the earth;

L: Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord their God,
who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps faith for ever;
All: who executes justice for the oppressed;
   who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
L:   the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.
All: The Lord watches over the strangers;
   he upholds the orphan and the widow,
   but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
L: The Lord will reign for ever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.
All: Praise the Lord!

Thanks to the congregation’s generous support, the eight Christmas hampers provided by LPC were completed, successfully delivered, and gratefully received.  The Christmas Hamper budget balance is very healthy, so the Session will consider donating some of the hamper funds to local charities early in the new year.  Once again, the congregation’s commitment to serving God in Christ’s name has enabled LPC to provide support to some of the most needy in our community.
