HILTON BAPTIST CHURCH
MAY BANNER
Dear Friends and Family of Hilton Baptist Church,
Those of you who are musically gifted know the concept of an “unresolved chord” and
can probably explain it better than I can. The basic idea behind an unresolved chord
is that it leaves the listener “hanging” or in tension waiting for the chord to end.
In my mind it is similar to someone saying “I must tell you something important! You
are …….” and then they say nothing. All the while you, the listener, are asking
“What?! What?! What were you going to say?!”
An unresolved chord, leaves the listener waiting for the music to resolve or come to a
conclusion.
As some of you know, I like to dabble with poetry. I wrote a poem several months ago
that feels a bit like an unresolved chord. I never completed it because I believed there
was more that could be said.
I wrote this while walking outside, attempting to be more intentionally aware of my
surroundings. I suppose I was practicing the concept of “Be still and Be present”.
I never gave this poem a title but if I had to, I suppose I’d call it “I see you”.
Chickadee I see you
there in the tree.
You remind me of Spring,
with your chick-a-melody.
Water bug I see you
struggling up stream.
You remind me of someone…
Yes, you remind me of me.
Logs I see you
gathered in a pile.
Mind if I join you
and sit here awhile?
Wind, don’t try to hide
I see you too.
The swaying tree tops
tattle on you
I see you too
little stream trickling.
I love to listen
to the sound of your singing.
And that’s where I stopped and the poem feels unresolved doesn’t it? I now wonder if it
is meant to be unresolved. There is always more for us to notice, always more for us to
see if we will simply be still and be present.
As the weather warms up, I invite you to do just that -Be Still and Be Present. And who
knows, maybe we can all keep working on this poem together.
Grace and Peace,
Dan

Total Expenses $16,646.97 $17,513.72 - $866.75
$ Please remember that we rely on your weekly Tithes & Offerings to pay the church bills. Here are a couple of
ways that you can continue to give to the church to help us be able to keep up while we are not gathering in-
person for worship…
You can mail your offering to the church office
You can set Hilton Baptist Church up as a “Payee” on your on-line banking register and send the
church your contribution through your on-line service provider. To do this you would enter Hilton
Baptist Church, 50 Lake Ave., Hilton NY 14468 in your “Payee” information section. Select you want
to pay HBC, enter the amount you want to send us, select the date you want it to be sent and hit your
confirm button. If you have an option to use the memo line you can type in there what the check is for
(Example: Pledge, OGH, Communion, Etc.)
You may go to our website (hiltonbaptist.org) and scroll down to the bottom of the page and select
the “Donate” button and send a payment through PayPal or on your credit card. (There is a small fee to
the church for using this option so we actually do not receive the full amount you submit)
If you have any questions about the above options, please call or email Dawn
$ Tops Gift Cards are still available for purchase. Dawn currently has a $25 card, 2 - $50 cards
and several $100 cards if you would like any. HBC receives $5 for every $100 purchase. It’s
not a huge amount, but it adds up over the year.
$ Are you staying home during our state wide “pause” order? Are you shopping on-line during this stay at
home time? If you answered yes to shopping on-line…. Don’t forget to check out the deals on Amazon and if
you decide to place an order from them to go to smile.amazon.com and select “Hilton Baptist Church” in NY
as your charity and we will receive a small percentage from your purchase. Again, it’s a small donation, but
it adds up over the year. Remember to tell your friends and family!!

ABOUT OUR GIVING TABLE
With the stress of COVID-19, our need to practice social distancing and the uncertainty of when we may
return to “normal”, The Giving Table has been discontinued until further notice.
Note: Please consider giving a little extra to the church or an organization of your choice. There are many
struggling to meet the needs of the community at this time.
And, remember, prayers are welcomed for all our doctors (including those taking care of our four legged
family), nurses, police, firefighters, pharmacists, store clerks, gas station attendants, bank employees,
blood donors, and, as you can see, the list goes on and on… God is beside us, before us, below us, above us,
behind us … Talk to him and lift our community in prayer …
HILTON FOOD SHELF
This information is from the Hilton Food Shelf Face Book Page - Clients must call ahead to schedule an
appointment and are not allowed to enter the building. (Note: They will only be open for limited hours on
Wednesdays.) If you have donations for the Food Shelf, call them at 234-2090 to make an appointment to
drop them off at the Community Center. There may still be a drop off box at Tops. Based on some of the
other information on the Face Book Page, the Food Shelf can no longer accept used plastic bags and still
does not accept outdated items. The “Hilton Food Shelf” Face Book page has a list of most needed items.
ANNUAL CROP WALK
The Annual CROP Walk has been cancelled for 2020. If you would like to make a direct donation to the
Hilton Food Shelf in lieu of supporting one of our usual walkers, you may send your donations to Hilton
Parma Emergency Food Shelf, PO BOX 127, Hilton, NY 14468. Thank you for any and all of your support.
CWS BLANKET OFFERING
We usually conduct the Church World Service’s (CWS) Blanket Offering in May (Mother’s Day) but, due to
COVID-19, we’ve decided to wait and collect this offering in August. For those who are able, we will also
be collecting blankets at that time to take to Open Door Mission. Please hang on to any donations for
Open Door Mission until then.
VOLUME 80, ISSUE 5, PAGE 5Pastoral Relations Committee News... In these trying times in our world today, caregivers must have their needs met first as they are constantly caring for the needs of others. Very true in our fast-paced world, but this also pertains to our Pastor and in our HBC world also. Pastors need special care as they continually minister to others 24/7. Long hours, relentless problem solving and life in their 'fishbowl' adds to compound their stress and quite often, putting their own family at list's bottom. In January of this year we highlighted our many Departments and Committees within our church. But, and probably one of the most important not spoken about, is the Pastoral Relations Commitee (herein after called PRC) that helps and aids and supports to improve the day to day communication life of our Pastor, between clergy and congregation. The PRC encourages the Pastor, creates a better and successful pathway for a successful ministry. The PRC's role is to aid the church in achieving this mission. Our HBC PRC is made up of five committed individuals who provide opportunities of problem solving, resolving those issues before they grow unrestrained and championing constructive relationships between our Pastor, the Committee and the congregation. This takes pressure off the Pastor and allows God to work in the lives of the concerned. Everything within this Committee is always held with genuine concern for our church family and with complete confidentiality. We meet at least once each quarter with the understanding that other meetings may be added during the year. And again, our PRC meetings are in complete confidentiality. Our Committee at this time, due to some unforeseen circumstances, is in need of two and possibly three new members. Remember, it's a five year commitment and if you are interested, please contact our Personnel Committee or one of us on PRC. And/or, if you have any questions, you certainly may contact any one of our members. It's a great way to further understand the effectiveness of your church's congregational ministry as the Pastor cannot do it alone. "Be responsible to your Pastoral leader.....Contribute to the joy of their leadership not it's drudgery. Why would you want to make things harder for them?" Hebrews 13:17 Anne Forberg, Chair (term ends 5/31/2020) Members: Sue Mullen, David Roach and Brian Speer VOLUME 80, ISSUE 5, PAGE 6
