St. Francis Episcopal Church Eureka MO June 2013

Pastors Corner
When the days drew near for Jesus to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. And he sent messengers ahead of himAs they were going along the road, someone said to him, I will follow you where you go.To another Jesus said, Follow me. Luke 9:51-52a, 57, 59a (Proper 8 for June 30) Even as Jesus sets his face toward Jerusalem and his death, he gathers followers. Some people invite themselves; some are invited by Jesus. It would be easy if Jesus were just offering to be our traveling companion, a presence with us as we journey through life. But Jesus expects us to let him lead. Jesus expects us to turn our will and our lives over to him. Jesus expects us to follow his example of compassion toward all and service to those in need. Its simple. But its not easy. Being a Christian is not easy and never was. Following Jesus requires knowing about him. It involves prayer, Scripture study, worship, service. Being a Christian is much more than going to church on Sunday, although thats certainly a great place to start. When Bishop Smith visits St. Francis on June 23, eight people will affirm their faith through confirmation, reception, and reaffirmation. They will say yes to continuing to let Jesus lead them. We are practicing Christians because theres no such thing as a perfected Christian. We practice following Jesus all our lives. Jesus never stops leading us. Let us pray for the fortitude to always keep following. -- Pastor Sally

The Gift of Hospitality

For 15 years Arlene Underwood has been modeling hospitality at St. Francis following worship. Quietly and graciously Arlene has made coffee, procured supplies, offered refills, and cleaned up. Shes also put out the calendar and asked people to sign up to bring Sunday morning treats. By the end of 2013 Arlene will turn over this important ministry to Bob and Carly Champlin. Arlene has said that shes looking forward to listening and participating in Adult Forum on Sundays and will be available to sub for the Champlins upon occasion. Thank you, Arlene, for so many years of service as the hostess of St. Francis coffee hour.

St. Francis Tutoring Program by Jackie Selle into the St. Francis parish house on a Wednesday night during the school year, and you may have trouble finding a place to sit. Several parishioners have been donating their time and talent to the St. Francis Community Tutoring Program, which is a free service available to all area students in grades K-12. After a slow start in the fall of 2011, the program has recently become very popular among area students, and a total of nine students in three area school districts utilized the free services of our tutors in the last two months of the 2012-2013 school year. St. Francis tutors donated approximately sixty hours of oneon-one assistance with most students returning for multiple sessions and several already requesting help this fall.

St. Francis Episcopal Church Bishops Committee Minutes May 12, 2013
Members Present: Pastor Sally Weaver; Senior Warden Sue Schmidt; Treasurer Suzanne Jones; Michael Booker; Bob Champlin; Jim Bowlin; Jack Lauless, Richard Mayfield; Paddy Wrob; Jackie Selle, Clerk. Opening business The piano appraisal came in lower than expected at $300 to $400. Lori visited Midwest Music and investigated some of the options for an organ. An organ is available that will fit in our space here for approximately $4500. This includes removal of the existing organ and piano. Judy Cody moved that we proceed with arranging the purchase of a new organ with a budget of $5000. Michael Booker seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Treasurers report Reports will follow when Beth learns the software. Vicars report Beth Koch is the new parish administrator. She is learning quickly and will soon be able to produce financial reports. The new chairs have been purchased and are in the sanctuary. Sally will be out this week on vacation. We can sponsor an intern from Deaconess Anne House in August. Our only obligation is to provide a welcome basket and to include the intern in our parish activities. Arlene Underwood has expressed her desire to pass the Hospitality ministry to someone else. Carly and Bob Champlin will take over this ministry. Sue Schmidt moved and Rich Mayfield moved that the minutes from the April meeting be approved. The motion passed unanimously. Additional Business Kevin Broom returned to continue our discussion about how we want to measure our growth as a congregation. We are currently below the Missouri and national average with the amount of annual pledging. Kevin led the discussion concerning what to use as a benchmark for measuring our contributions. Suggested benchmarks for the goals of giving would to be to reach the Missouri average of giving by 2017 with an intermediate goal of reaching the national average by 2015. Suzanne will be responsible for reviewing records to gather pertinent information for an internal analysis as a first step toward reaching these goals. Kevin brought up the idea of how we might measure volunteering and whether or not there is merit in doing so. The consensus was that rather than establish an external benchmark perhaps we should gather data about what we do currently so we can determine what we need to do to progress. Closing business Temperature check. Closing prayer offered by Michael Booker. Next meeting: June 16

Our new organ is in place.

Baptism: The Public Sacrament Private baptism is by no means invalid, but baptism is always best done in public. For the sake of the baptized, yes, but also for the sake of all of us who look on. Baptism is the opposite of a private matterbecause the salvation that God has set loose in Christ Jesus is not private in scope. God in Christ is at work putting back together a broken universe, to follow Pauls metaphor in Romans 8, and that universe groans in anticipation of what has yet to happen. Baptism, the mark of salvation for a person, is also a sign of what God has in store for all creation. There is every bit of cultural inertia to keep people from saying something about their faith out loud, or acting on it. The Baptismal Covenant (BCP, 304-5) invites candidates to commit to faith in the true God and to discipleship, a countercultural action. The rite presumes a public and communal setting. You will notice that it is not just the candidates making the baptismal promises. All present say aloud the vows with them. Because ultimately, it is not just about them; its about us. And something far bigger than us. In a country and in a culture where matters of religion and faith are mostly private and inward, candidates profess their faith out loud. In this culture, it is also easy to pretend that we can get along without anyone else, or anything else. The myth of self-sufficiency is very strong for us. Its just not a true myth. Human being from the beginning has been a social animal. God looked with pity on Adam, the first human, and realized that this is a species that does not do so well all alone. We are hard-wired to need one another. And not just for the necessary divvying-up of tasks, which makes it possible for humans beings to be something besides hunters and gatherers. We need one another, including the hard edges, in order to be shaped into the people of God whom God has in mind. The One True God is in fact a perfect community of Three Persons. Absolutely distinct but so bound together in the Trinitarian life that we are left with no alternative but to profess belief in One God. To baptize in the name of the Trinity recollects the communal nature of God and the communal nature of human life.

What is an Episcopalian? On May 5, Pastor Sally asked the Adult Forum attendees the question, What is an Episcopalian? Here are their answers.

Believes in Jesus Christ, God the Father, Holy Spirit Trinitarian Not part of the Roman Catholic Church, but part of the catholic (universal) Church The frozen chosen reputation for formality, stiffness Liturgical Allows individual exploration; no squashing of non-believers Women clergy, married clergy Diverse God is present in the Eucharist As Elizabeth I said, We create no windows into mens souls. Were liturgical, but not creedal. We focus on orthopraxy (right practice) rather than orthodoxy (right belief). Were of the people. Governed by Bishops Dont have all the answers Were members of the Anglican Communion Were part of the church, not the church Apostolic succession of clergy Not evangelical, not growing Not terribly welcoming Henry VIII was the beginning of our history We can be perceived as wishy-washy because of our approach; too flexible Liberal in our theological views Elitist Highly educated with high incomes and a low birth rate Weve been the national church, the church of the U.S.

On Pentecost Sunday, St. Francis Eureka enjoyed Mass in the Grass, sharing the table at Eucharist and at lunch, the one time each year when sharing does not take place indoors in a rented, make-do church space. We enjoyed a glorious, sunny day. We delighted in bird calls, cautiously let the green beetles and caterpillars keep their own ways, reveled in the fresh air, and soaked in the green, wooded landscape just inches away from our tiny altar. The gifts of the Eucharist, bread and wine, celebrate the blending of divine creation and the work of human hands. We then ate a wonderful lunch with dishes blending both divine creation and the work of human hands. And it was good! Into that nearly perfect day dropped a couple of unpleasant reminders, in the prayers of the people, and then in the announcements. Just the week before our idyllic Sunday worship, the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration announced that for the first time, the daily mean atmospheric concentrations of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) reached more than 400 parts per million (ppm). Any isolated statistic doesnt mean much, so let me give it a little context. Before the Industrial Revolution, estimates are that CO2 levels were about 280ppm. Currently, worldwide scientific consensus is that 350ppm is the highest level that will maintain a relatively stable climate. In May, for the first time, the average daily levels of CO2 in our atmosphere have reached an unsafe level and are continuing to climb at a much higher rate. It was a sad and alarming note in the middle of our beautiful day. I asked Pastor Sally to share this information because I agree with Rev. Fletcher Harper that, As people of faith it is our job to reckon honestly with the truth. In the midst of our work [and play, and worship] there are times when sadness and fear are necessary companions. As sad and alarming as the news might be, it didnt ruin our day. We still enjoyed the sunshine and blue skies, the plants, grass and flowers of our church. We shared the bounty of the Lords table and shared with one another from our own tables. And it was good the whole day! Let us continue to be grateful for our beautiful earth, especially our own little corner of it, to continue to do what we can do to slow the addition of CO2 to earths atmosphere, and to pray for guidance, not only for ourselves, but for the leaders of the earths political communities. Pray that we might serve and guard the earth so that God will look on us and say, Now thats what Im talkin about! by Kathleen McDonald

Our Childrens Reflections on God and the Gospel

Later with our food we will have Sprite, Sprite, Sprite and orange juice. When youre 5 you can read. I can listen and color too. I love you, Jesus. We are your son. I love you. You love us. I love you to the son, til the cows come home. To the disciples, have a last meal with me. I love you. Go down to heaven. Thats what the priests say when they dont have anybody around them. Go to heaven for 40 dollars. I love you to pieces, to pieces, to pieces, to crumbs. I love you like skunks like spraying. I love you down to the drain. Amen! Christianity is because of Michelangelo. Because without Christianity he would not be inspired. If there was World War 10 there will be misery and everyone will be tired.

Talking about peace and love People show peace by being nice to each other. Silence is peaceful. Love is being careful. Love is being careful of others feelings. How do your parents show love? By caring about you. By making you wear your seat belt. They give me stuff. They hug and kiss me. When I had problems with a girl at school my mom told me to just work it, you. We should all love Jesus and one another. Totes. (means totally)

We pray for the witness, renewal, and growth of our parish family. Living God, infuse us with your love.
