“Sweet little Jesus boy, they made you be born in a
manger. Sweet little holy child, we didn't know who you
were….Long time ago, you were born – born in a manger
Lord, sweet little Jesus boy. The world treats you mean,
Lord….we don't know who you are. You have told us how.
We are trying. Master, you have shown us how even when
you were dying. Just seems like we can't do right. Look how
we treated you. But please, Sir, forgive us, Lord. We didn't
know it was you. Sweet little Jesus boy, born a long time ago.
Sweet little holy child, we didn't know who you were.”
Do we know who the child born in the manger is? Robert
McGimsey, author of “Sweet Little Jesus Boy,” wasn’t so sure
when he penned the words to his song late on Christmas Eve
1932. He was walking home on the streets of New York City
after attending a Christmas Eve service at church. On his
way, he passed by homeless people shivering and huddled in
the meager shelter of dark doorways. He heard fighting
coming from the windows of the apartment buildings that lined
the streets, and he wondered what pain and longing was
hiding behind the brick walls.
The words to the song came to him as he walked home,
thinking of the Depression-era bread lines that had formed in
recent days as the poor made their scanty preparations for
Christmas. He thought of his native home in Louisiana and
how the Depression was intensifying racial hatred all
throughout the segregated south on Christmas Eve 1932.
The mournful lyrics of “Sweet Little Jesus Boy” flooded into
McGimsey’s soul as he thought that Christmas Eve about the
Nazi regime in power in Germany, civil war in Western
Europe, and plots for imperial invasions hatching all across
the globe. 1
It seemed to McGimsey a hollow thing to celebrate the
birth narrative of Jesus and then go about acting as if the rest
of the story made no difference, ignoring the trajectory that the
“sweet little Jesus boy’s” life would take. McGimsey reasoned
that things would not be the way they were if we really took
seriously the “sweet little Jesus boy” and all he taught about
1
Jelks, Randall Maurice. “The Friday Comment: Sweet Little Jesus Boy.”
The Black Bottom: An African American Blog of Politics, Culture, and
Social Activism. 2007
God’s reign of compassion and justice. We must not know
the “sweet little Jesus boy,” whose way of love and kindness
is not simply a figment of the past, but a present reality.
“Sweet little Jesus boy, the world treats you mean…we don’t
know who you are.”
Do we know who the child born in the manger is today?
“In our world there are so many children who are born under
duress in mangers, shantytowns, back alleys, and squalid
conditions and then sent to the gallows just like Jesus. Like
the ‘sweet little Jesus boy’ was ‘treat[ed] mean,’ we treat
God’s children badly.”2 The story of the “sweet little Jesus
boy,” the story of a baby born into poverty in a homeland
oppressed by imperial domination is played out all over the
world still today. The “sweet little Jesus boy” (who grew to
proclaim that the first are last, the lowly are lifted up, the
unclean are clean, the outcasts are friends, that the poor and
meek and peaceful are blessed) is treated badly every time
God’s children anywhere are abused, exploited, oppressed,
forgotten, bullied, discriminated against, and deprived.
Robert McGimsey’s “Sweet Little Jesus Boy” song
echoes the words of Matthew 25: “I was hungry and you gave
me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I
was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you
gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in
prison and you visited me….just as you did it to one of the
least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me”
(Matt. 25: 35-36, 40). We encounter the “sweet little Jesus
boy” in others everyday, and we often “treat” him “mean,” as
the song goes.
2
Ibid.
This Christmastide and into the New Year, may we
recognize the “sweet little Jesus boy” when we see him. And
may we let his life and death make a difference to the way we
live our lives so that Christ’s presence is always known to us
in the “least of these” around the world today, each “sweet
little holy child[ren]” of God.
Rev. Laura
Thank you! To our Immanuel UCC family: We are truly grateful for the spectacular show of support and friendship you offered at our open house on December 14. It was a joy to celebrate with you and to have the parsonage enlivened by our shared fellowship. We are tremendously thankful for the thoughtful and generous gifts we received from the congregation, namely, the lovely porch swing, the beautiful poinsettia, and the gift cards to various favorite local spots. We feel deeply honored to have been showered with such kindness, and we look forward to happy hours of companionship and enjoyment relaxing on the back deck in the swing you gave us. We want you to know how glad and grateful we are to be among you and how thrilled we are to be surrounded by this community of support and care, kindness and welcome. With happy and thankful hearts, Rev. Laura Yurs and Rev. Chris Ross A CAMPAIGN TO FUND THE
REINHARD ULRICH ENDOWED CHAIR
IN PHILOSOPHY, ETHICS, AND CHRISTIAN THOUGHT
AT LAKELAND COLLEGE
Immanuel UCC and its members are invited to take part
in an exciting new endeavor at Lakeland College honoring the
Rev. Dr. Reinhard Ulrich (whom some of you may remember
personally). Lakeland is working on raising funds to create a
new full-time faculty position in the Religion and Philosophy
Department that will allow for the offering of courses in ethics,
historical theology, and systematic theology, all areas of study
about which Reinhard Ulrich was passionate. The funds
raised will also support an annual “Distinguished Lecture in
Ethics” at Lakeland. With the creation of this endowed chair,
Lakeland College is seeking to preserve and further its
heritage as a college of the church, rooted in the values of the
United Church of Christ.
Immanuel UCC is uniquely poised to celebrate and
support this endeavor given its historic connection to Lakeland
College when it was known as Mission House. What’s more,
this is an ideal opportunity to renew and strengthen
Immanuel’s relationship with Lakeland College while
advancing our shared mission and shared commitments to
faith, learning and discovery, integrity and responsibility,
diversity and respect, service and stewardship. As Lakeland
takes this step to live out its calling as a college of the church
and to honor the legacy of Reinhard Ulrich, let us at Immanuel
thoughtfully consider lending our support. If you are
interested in giving to this project or in learning more about
this exciting opportunity, please speak with Rev. Laura at your
convenience.

From the Consistory - We want to thank
David and Marge Breisch for stepping
forward and assuming the position of
church custodians. Their position takes
effect on January 1, 2015. Thank you.

Women’s Fellowship
Thank you to everyone for contributing to the Thanksgiving
Food Collection. The items were gratefully accepted by the
Salvation Army.
Our annual Advent Event was successful. Welcome to Rev.
Laura, Rev. Chris, and Christian who were officially initiated
as members to the Advent Event. We enjoyed a light lunch
followed by cookie decorating, card making, paper chain
construction and the decorating of Immanuel for Christmas.
Thank you to all who volunteered their time and service.
The next official meeting of the Women's Fellowship will
be Feb 1, 2015. We would like to plan our program for
Women's Sunday which will be Mar 1, 2015. We encourage
any interested women of Immanuel to join us.
Respectfully submitted,

What’s Going On With Our Wednesday night
and Sunday morning Small Groups?
Starting January 7th, at 6:30 p.m. we will be watching an Andy
Stanley DVD-series called Twisting the Truth. The following is
what is written on the back of the participant guide to give you
a feel of what we will be discussing:
The most dangerous lies are the ones you never notice.
Common but deadly deceptions impact you every day.
They can twist your thinking in ways you’d never expect
and leave you with a life you never imagined. Your ability
to recognize them can spell the difference between
happiness and the loss of all you hold dear. Do you see
them?
In this six-session small group video experience, Andy
Stanley exposes some common ways God’s truth gets
twisted. Each one has the potential to destroy your
relationships, cloud your decisions, and distort your
perception of him. This study helps us discover the ways
the truth gets twisted in our lives and culture and, more
importantly, how we can recognize and overcome them.
Our group sessions are held at Jerry Karsteadt’s home in
Howards Grove most of the time. Please check each week to
verify the location by calling Gail Gottsacker at 565-2672 in
case you miss a session. If you need to miss a session don’t
worry, Andy Stanley usually reviews the previous week before
starting the new session. We’ve done some Andy Stanley
material before and he is a great speaker/teacher. Mark
January 7th down, it’s a perfect time to join us.
After this series, we will do a book study using Jim Cymbala’s
book called STORM Hearing Jesus for The Times We Live In.
I just finished this book and it’s very good. The following is
what’s written on the back:
• Is the light of Jesus that we shine before people,
growing dark?
• Has a storm cut us off from our power source?
• Is the church of Christ disappearing into a dark
night?
STORM is a book that will both disturb and enlighten you.
It will help you to recognize what is happening and why.
Most of all, it will sound a clarion call to all who believe,
reminding us that no matter how fierce the storm, God
isn’t asking us to take shelter under a table while the light
and power go out of his church. No, God has given us the
gospel of Christ and the Holy Spirit’s resources so that
we can bring his light to the world. We are called to join
Jesus, the one who calmed the winds and invited Peter to
walk with him on water, to let his light shine strong in the
blackest night.
Using our every changing world of technology, we have found
a way to read the book as a group without everyone needing
to buy a copy. Therefore, that should not hold you back from
coming to our group and enjoy the learning, teaching,
fellowship, and discipleship that Small Groups bring to each of
us.
The Sunday morning Small Group led by Peter Warner is
enjoying some lively discussion as they ready Paul’s letters to
the different churches. Right now they are reading Romans.
8:45 a.m. each Sunday morning is the time to come and join
this group. They meet in the Sunday school room right next to
the office at church downstairs.
If you have any questions, you can call Gail Gottsacker (5652672) or Peter Warner (565-2269).

What If Jesus Had Never Been Born? written by D. James
Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe. You can locate this book at
232.904 KEN. We live in a cynical age in which only one
prejudice is tolerated--anti-Christian bigotry. Yet despite the
attacks against the faith, one powerful truth is undeniable: if
Christ had never been born, nearly every facet of human life
would be much more miserable than it is today. The authors
remind us that the Church is to bear the glory of God in every
sphere of life. Arranged topically and presenting compelling,
little-known historical facts, What If Jesus Had Never Been
Born? clearly demonstrates that an enormous array of
benefits to humankind--from economics to art to government,
science to civil liberties, morality to health, and beyond--would
never have occurred had Jesus Christ not lived.
Have you ever wondered how would Jesus handle a
situation? What Biblical principles should you apply? George
Duncan, the author of Every Day with Jesus will provide you
with scriptural references to hundreds of daily issues that will
give you strength, understanding and help you stay on the
path of righteousness. This daily guidance for daily growth
book can be found at 242 DUN.
Limping through Life: a Farm Boy’s Polio Memoir by Jerry
Apps is worth reading. It is an engaging Midwestern story of
pain, striving, and hard work. His descriptions of his parents'
reactions to his illness are priceless and heartbreaking. His
father's successful attempt to rehabilitate him through hard
work and horse liniment captures both the strengths and
weaknesses of farm families facing hardship. They made the
best they could of what they had but unfortunately missed the
damaged soul that needed tending. This story of farm
childhood, polio, and making a new life where a weak leg
would not matter is bound to intrigue anyone with an interest
in the Midwest, agriculture, or childhood. This book is an
excellent addition to the list of memoirs detailing farm life at
the middle of the twentieth century. This book can be located
at 616.835 APP.

Fellowship
We had a very successful year of fellowship gatherings,
starting with fellowship times after the Lenten services. We
moved on to 7th grade confirmation class hosting a fellowship
time in honor of the 8th grade confirmation class, the review of
the Langenholzhausen trip highlights, the fellowship times that
honored Pam Hodgson for her time with us, thanked Pastor
Fred Trost for his service to us, welcomed Pastor Laura Yurs,
and then trimmed the tree. I would like to thank all who
agreed to go green by using the church dishes and
silverware. As has been said many times coffee, cream,
napkins, and sugar are provided but you are responsible for
the clean-up. It was wonderful of Tracy Kracht to let me know
that the Sunday School would be using the kitchen for classes
as this enabled us to be sure products were available for their
use.
Anyone who is interested in hosting a fellowship time should
please let Diane Vanderkin know so that she can confirm that
the date is available and make sure that there are enough
supplies on hand. Please call at 920-467-0574. Thank You
