Who Don’t You Know?
Last weekend Sara took her father to meet cousins he never knew he had.
See the Holy Land, Italy, travel abroad.
Plan A for retirement is a camper.
See the country
PCH, Redwoods, Yosemite, Upper Left coast.
Sara’s dad was adopted when he was to young to know anything.
Work on our house.
We have plans to update and make it more user-friendly for our family.
Family, 2 of our 3 are still single.
For years he didn’t want to know.
Hopeful, praying for believing spouses
We have 1 grandchild, another on the way
Then, recently, he decided to let Sara do a little ancestry research.
And, she found his birth family.
See them come to faith in Jesus and grow.
His parents are gone as are his siblings.
But, there are a number of cousins still alive in the San Antonio area.
They went to meet them and he had a blast.
They connected and had a great time.
Sara’s research and meeting these family members revealed a lot that he never knew.
Take them camping, skiing, out in our RZR.
There are a number of interesting turns in his life.
His adoptive parents divorced.
His adoptive mother from cancer when dad was teenager.
His adoptive dad remarried.
And, these are the grandparents Sara knows from this side of her family.
Sara never knew her dad’s adoptive mom, but b/c she raised Sara’s dad she obviously played and important role in Sara’s life even though Sara never knew her.
There are the knowns and the unknowns.
Then, Sara and her dad both became Christians on the same day when she was a junior in college, listening to a tape by Hal Lindsey on “The Late Great Planet Earth” while on their way from Tucson to their cabin in Pinetop.
Sara and her dad became Christians on the same day listening to a tape by Hal Lindsey on “The Late Great Planet Earth” while on their way from Tucson to their cabin in Pinetop.
Our kids never knew their Papa as a man who didn’t have faith in Jesus.
Sara has passed that legacy of faith on to our kids.
My great grandfather’s legacy is strong in my life.
I barely remember him.
But, his influence on the family that influenced me is very real.
So much of what is so important will be unknown.
How many generations will go by before none of them know anything about Harold Willingham?
In my family, I have vague recollections of one set of great grand parents.
That’s a far back as I can go from memory.
My great grandfather, Lewis Baker, was a mailman, delivering letters house to house in Wichita.
He was also the chmn. of the board of his church.
As far as I can tell, he was the last, great faithful patriarch of my family.
This is thru my mom and her mom.
I don’t know much about my dad’s family as my parents divorced when I was 2.
Another thing I know to be true, I’ve seen the research, thru this same line, my 8-great grandfather was Daniel Boone.
I know that to be true.
I’m related thru his daughter, Rebecca, who was kidnapped by the Cherokee.
She ended up marrying the son of the Cherokee chief.
He became chief.
8-great grandfather, 7-great grandparents I know about.
The, 6 generations are completely unknown to me.
But, obviously played a role in my life.
Their legacy led to me.
A few knowns and a lot of unknowns.
The numbers here are great!
Our mission is to lead those close to us closer to Jesus.
Introduce more to Jesus.
Baptize a bunch.
More friends know real peace, the Prince of Peace.
Wouldn’t it be good to see 10% of the MP residents in church?
800 in the winter = 80 in church.
Currently, we’re at 40.
The same is also true in this community.
There are family names you know of from the history of Munds Park.
8000 in the summer = 800 in church.
Currently, we have around 250 in our 2 services.
Munds, Loy, Willard, and Schnebley.
Now there’s a town, a dump, and a road where you take your life in your hands every time you drive it to keep 3 of the names alive around here.
Few would even remember the people any more.
Munds Park; there are names you will recognize,
Munds, Loy, Willard, and Schnebley.
Homesteads, married each others’ kids, and played important roles in establishing what we have here.
How many others, completely unknown, played important roles in what Munds Park has become today.
We are building on that legacy.
Then, there’s MPCC.
Kiki Swanson wrote a history of MPCC included in the church directory of 2013.
Kiki will be remembered for the books she wrote and her influence and leadership around here.
I’m going to read a few paragraphs from what she wrote in 2013.
“On December 5, 1984, The Munds Park Church Assn.
became owners of record of 1.38 acres of land for a total of $62,000.
Significant contributions came from Jim and Marilyn Stanton, Dr. Moon, and a loan from Howard and Pearl Grover.
Eva Stanton Owens remains as a donor.
Other names were written as first names only, or as major contributors of “in kind” donations in time and skills.”
“The building now serving as the Fellowship Hall was the Munds Park Community Church.
It included washrooms, a small kitchen corner, a side room for classes and windows for openness.
It was home to the faithful.
A guest book from Dedication Sunday, June 8 1986, included Phil Alger, Sandra Bolling, Peggy Bogard, Fran Maggard, Angela Toy, the Rutherfords, the Cooks and Jan Toth.
The guest preacher was the Reverend Don Peterson from Lake Havasu City.”
“In 1990, a campaign for $100,000 raised the hope for a sanctuary to join the north side of the church building, up a few steps.
Pastor (Cary) White became the (first) full-time minister to the growing congregation.
All reports praise the leadership of Phil Alger, the contractor who gave his time to head up the building project and organize all the volunteers during seven months.”
Some of the people you may know.
Some names you may recognize.
But, there have been hundreds who’ve come thru this church.
And, many have played important roles and left a legacy that we are building on today.
And, here we are.
Most of us are in the fourth quarter of our lives.
And, the truth is, our legacies will either be cemented or blown up in the final quarter.
Here’s where we’re going today:
