Living Each Day as a Steward!
C.S.
Lewis
said,
“There are two kinds of
people: those who say to
God, ‘Thy will be done,’
and those to whom God
says, ‘All right, then, have
it your way.’” As redeemed children of God, of
course, we desire to belong to that first category.
We long to live each day
as stewards who earnestly
pray, “Thy will be done.”
As God’s stewards, we are
devoted to using all that
we are and have for his
purpose. We are God’s
stewards each and every
day.
On Sundays October
12th, October 19th, and
October 26th, the theme
of our worship services
and our Bible studies will
be living each day as a
steward. We will learn
how the Holy Spirit,
working through Word
and Sacrament, transforms us to be more like
our Chief Steward, Jesus,
who willingly poured out
his life in giving and
serving, ultimately sacrific-
ing his very life for our
eternal lives. Just as Jesus
faithfully
served
his
Father by serving us, we
are to use our lives and
gifts in faithful service to
him by serving others.
“As each has received a gift,
use it to serve one another, as
good stewards of God’s varied grace” (1 Peter 4:10).
As your pastor, I pray
that each of you will take
advantage of these opportunities to grow in the
grace and knowledge of
your Lord that you might
be strengthened in faith
both for eternity and for a
fruitful life here on earth.
The three weekly
themes are as follows:
October 12th —
“The Steward’s Identity”
October 19th —
“The Steward’s Purpose”
October 26th —
“The Steward’s Life
style” (Commitment
Sunday)
make a special effort to be
present with us on Sunday, October 26th, for our
Stewardship
Commitment Sunday. We will
have the opportunity to
make our financial commitments during our
10:00 a.m. worship and
then enjoy a catered
luncheon following the
service in the Fellowship
Hall. It would truly be a
blessing to have a full
Sanctuary
and
an
overflowing
spirit of
excitement as we anticipate God’s continued
working in our midst.
May God grant us
strength and wisdom to
be the faithful stewards
that he has called us to be.
On the Stewardship
Journey with you,
Pastor Scott
I would like to
personally invite you to
Maggie Styers Missionary Chapter Lovefeast
Sunday, October 12th — 10:00 a.m.
Our Guest Speakers will be Mohamed and Safiatu Braima. Please make
plans to join us for this special Missionary Lovefeast on November 12th!

“Lambs of God” Youth Corner
The Fairview Youth Fellowship enjoyed a day at Whitewater
Rafting and zip lining in Charlotte on Saturday, September 20th. The
sales of the sweatshirts, hoodie sweatshirts, t-shirts, and long sleeve
tee’s are selling well and we want to thank the congregation for their
support of this project. We are now in the planning stages for the
Crop Walk on October 19th. Come by the Parlor to sign up and to receive
information about the Walk. Make plans to come out and join us.
We are starting a new outreach of sending our Fairview shut-ins cards. Again,
the youth appreciates all of the support from our Fairview Family.
The Brendles had the youth fellowship over to their house after church one
Sunday for a fun pool party.
Again, a big thank you to Jennifer and David Church for their good work with
our Fairview Youth.

Notes from Lewis
Several people have
asked me recently how I
felt about applause in worship. I thought I would
take this opportunity to
share some of my thoughts
about this subject. Clapping is a cultural phenomenon whose popularity has
grown in worship services
in the last 25 years. Before
1950, clapping in worship
would have been rare and
greatly disfavored.
Dr. William L.
Hendricks was a professor
at The Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary,
which was the seminary I
attended. He says that the
current prevalent custom of
clapping in worship services
has arisen from two
sources. One source is the
entertainment industry,
where applause is given as a
sign of approval of the
performer and the performance. The second source
is the shift in worship styles
from a more formal to a
less formal expression.
Many congregations of this
generation use clapping in
the same way previous generations used amens. He
goes on to say that the
desire to show emotion in
worship is as old as Old
Testament times and is an
acceptable biblical custom.
Religion without emotion
may become meaningless
formalism and ritualism;
religion with excessive
emotion may become
meaningless ecstasy and
chaos. Achieving a
balance is a difficult task.
Dr. Hendricks shares the
following suggestions
about the inappropriateness of clapping in
worship:
1. If sermons or songs
are addressed to or
dedicated to God, they
should not be followed by
applause.
2. Songs that are
written as prayers should
never be interrupted by or
followed by applause.
3. Special music,
whether by choir, ensembles, soloists, or instrumentalists, if it is a part of
the stated worship, should
not be followed by
applause. It is better to
tell the musician later in
word or writing of your
appreciation. The brief
moment immediately
following the anthem, for
instance, is often a time
where worshippers want
to reflect quietly on the
meaning of what they
have just heard.
4. The above principle applies to pianists and
organists whose special
contributions to worship
may occur during the
prelude, at the offertory,
or as a postlude. They are
exercising a talent in worship and not giving a performance.
5. One should not
applaud in a worship
service when the result
Page 4
might be to draw attention
to the self and create a
disruptive uncertainty
among others who, not
wanting to be embarrassed,
might be uncertain as to
whether to clap or not.
These suggestions
pretty well sum up my feelings on this subject. We
have also discussed this in a
Chancel Choir rehearsal,
and the choir members feel
the same way. We are not
“performing” in worship,
but rather offering our
talents to God. It would be
much more meaningful to
us for you to express your
appreciation following the
worship service or by sending me a note that I will
gladly share with the choir.
These thoughts are in no
way intended to “ruffle any
feathers!” As I said, several
people have asked my opinion, and these are my
thoughts on this subject.

The Angel’s Are Coming!
VOLUNTEEERS NEEDED!!!
Can you believe it’s already time to be thinking about
the Angel Tree?
The angel’s names, (given to us from the Salvation
Army), will be on the tree sometime in November.
Church groups, individuals, or families may choose a
name from the tree to make a little child have a
wonderful Christmas. If you are unable to shop but
would like to participate, why not consider sponsoring a
child and let someone else do the shopping for you?
Watch the upcoming bulletins or November’s
newsletter for more information about the Angel Tree!
We are looking for a volunteer, individual, or group
to provide and serve a light meal for the choir members,
band members, and dieners that participate in both of
our Christmas Eve Lovefeasts. The menu is chosen by
the person(s) who provide the meal.
In the past, we’ve also had donations to cover the
cost of this meal. If you would like to donate money we
would greatly appreciate your help.
If you would be willing to help prepare and serve,
give a monetary gift, or have questions and need more
details, please contact Bob and Bonnie Sparrow at 7935393.
SECOND REQUEST...RECORDING OF WORSHIP SERVICES
The Music and Worship Committee would like to know about member's interest in CD recordings of our
worship services. If we were to switch from tape recordings to CD recordings, how many Fairview members
would desire a CD of the worship service on a weekly basis? If you would like a CD of the service on a regular
basis, would you please contact Janet in the church office and let her know? A decision will be made whether to make
this change or not, based on the response from Fairview members along with other factors. Please give us your feedback!
Thank you!

FAIRVIEW’S GREATEST GENERATION
Page 8
Tom Nicholson - An Autobiographical Sketch
(in his own words…unedited)
Born in 1932 to Ruth Pilcher and Raymond Martin Nicholson with an older brother Raymond B.
and grew up on White Street now Ivy Avenue. He attended North Elementary School and John W. Hanes
High School where he played football and tennis with football scholarships offered to Elon and Lenoir
Rhyne graduating in 1951. He joined Fairview Moravian Church in 1949 when I. Howard Chadwick was
Pastor and R. Carroll Williams Sr. taught Sunday School and attended regularly ushering until he went in
the Marines. He went to work at Western Electric but the work was too confining and quit and went to
work with Glenn Joyce at Joyce Bros. for 11 months and then joined the U.S. Marine Corps in March of
1953. After boot camp at Parris Island, SC he went to Jacksonville, Fla. For two months of prep school then
on to Millington, TN to Electronics “A” school for 54 weeks but on a Christmas leave he married his then
High School sweetheart Peggy Ann Lawson in December 1953 then on to Cherry Point, NC. The Marine
Corps and marriage did not agree and they separated and divorced in 1958. In the Marine Corps he was
assigned to VMFTN-20 Marine All Weather Night Fighter Squadron training pilots and radar operators.
After two years at Cherry point he was honorably discharged but his Colonel tried to talk him into going to
flight school at Pensacola, Fla. since he had flown numerous hours as a co-pilot with Lieutenants unfamiliar
with twin Beechcraft operations but he declined and came back home to W-S.
He hired in on Western Electric payroll assigned to Bell Telephone Laboratories for design and development of Sonar Systems for
the Navy. He also saw the need for more education and attended Guilford College at night. He developed the Top Secret signal level
diagrams for Electrical and Magnetic delay line systems and he and Thomas A. McKenzie designed and developed every System Test
Center and cable fault locator from 1956 to 1966. Prior to 1958 the Nav Aids gear necessary to locate a cable fault was only good for
location within a quarter of a nautical mile but the two Toms worked diligently at the development setting across the room at an isolated
location calculating to eight decimal places for resistance, capacitance and inductance then compensating for depth, temperature and
pressure for each cable and repeater sections. This was done for every Sonar station. In 1966 he transferred back to AT&T in design
and development of Central Office Equipment. In 1968 Tom McKenzie called him from Greensboro and told him some fantastic news.
The last cable fault locator Tom had designed before he left Bell Laboratories had been put to use. A Russian trawler had grappled and
pulled up the cable and cut it into but the fault was located within 12 ft. a new high for their diligent work.
At one time the two Toms were the only two men in the world working on cable fault localization on terminated undersea cables
and in May 1965 with Tom at home recovering from surgery and the other Tom on the way to see the Kentucky Derby the Russians
grappled for our cable at one of the foreign locations and cut it rendering out of service for early sonar detection. Captain Kelly of the
Navy Department and his staff came to NC and Tom was called in to tell them what needed to happen. The cable fault localization
process was complicated for the Navy to understand and Capt. Kelly asked if Tom could go locate it. Tom called his Doctor for
clearance and the Navy flew a plane in from Jacksonville, Fla and picked him up and flew him to the station where he was met with a car
with four stars on the front license plate. This was on a Friday and after he located the fault the pilots and crew scheduled the return
trip for late Saturday night getting Tom back home early Sunday morning. His expense voucher for this trip was $9.72 and that was
spent at the Officers Club.
He was lead engineer on numerous projects and was Project manager for the DUIT-l: and DUIT-2 systems until his retirement in
1988. DUIT-2 installed 17 different central offices across the country and they all turned over service early making AT&T 130 million
dollars.
In 1987 he obtained his Independent Automobile license because all through the working years he had a hobby of building Street
Rods and buying and repairing wrecked autos. He retired from this in 2007. Another of his hobbies was guns, oil paintings and
shooting skeet and sporting clays. He has been a Hunter Safety Instructor for the State of NC for over 20 years. He has also volunteered
for medical studies at Wake Forest Health and Piedmont Medical Group for over 20 years.
A brick is being installed in the Field of Honor for his participation in the Korean Conflict.
He left Fairview because he was working Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday overtime and was in college Monday, Wednesday and
Friday nights and studying on Sundays. Later, he transferred his membership to Home Moravian for 20 years. At home he ushered for
the 8:45 service for 6 ½ years missing only one Sunday when he had the flu. He has been a ticket taker for the band and crowd
controller for the Easter service over 20 years.
— A note from Danny Ferguson: Tom came back to Fairview in 2012 and has been very active, serving as an assistant usher and helping in
the kitchen at the Wednesday Bible studies. Also, he is learning the sound system with Henry Hilker.
I asked Tom why he came back to Fairview, and he replied, "Fairview is home and Tom Shelton was a major influence on my
decision to return.” He told me that Fairview needs me. And the truth is that Fairview does in fact need Tom. Everyone is so very glad
he is once again part of our congregation. Not only is Tom loved and respected at Fairview, but he has served his country honorably
both as a U.S. Marine and as a valued engineer who has used his great technical skill to make America a safer place. Tom Nicholson is a
true American patriot as well as a wonderful Christian gentleman whom we are proud to call our fellow Fairview Moravian.

Samaritan Ministries
Penny Campaign
Sunday, October 5th
through
Sunday, November 30th
Start collecting your quarters, dimes, nickels, and
pennies, for the Samaritan Ministries Penny Campaign!
We will also take paper money and checks!!
Many people consider the penny an insignificant
amount with no buying power. In 1992, Samaritan
unleashed the power of the penny with its first Penny
Campaign. This effort, for increasing awareness of hunger and homelessness in our backyard while raising
money for Samaritan, has become a community event.
The annual Penny Campaign is Samaritan’s major
fundraiser. Beginning October 1st and continuing
through November, schools, churches, families, individuals, civic organizations and corporations across the
Triad, all join in saving their pennies and spare change
for the Samaritan Soup Kitchen and Inn.
