Ringing in the New!

A new year brings a new graphic to this page! You will notice that the apostrophe

has moved. It‟s no longer “The Pastor‟s Corner,” it‟s “The Pastors‟ Corner.”

I‟m sure it will take some time to work out the kinks in sharing the pastoral minis-

try as we transition toward July 1st when Scott Leonard will take on the full respon-

sibility, and I enter the realm of retirement. But this first half of the Year of Our

Lord 2015 will afford us the chance to attempt some kink-straightening!

As I move into part time pastoral service, we‟ll post the days in which I am “on the job” in

The Corner Stone for your information. For the weeks when I am not in service, pastoral

needs will be responded to by Scott and by your Deacons and Ruling Elders. As always, the

church office and our capable Office Manager, Peggy Weldon, will serve a coordinating func-

tion, scheduling events, answering questions, providing information and communication. To

the left is the calendar for this month.

In this time of transition in my personal and professional life (we closed on our new house on

December 22nd and are scheduled to move in on January 9th), I am grateful for the word of Paul‟s Letter to the Romans:

“In all things God works for good with those who love God.”

The chiming of the clock and the carillon in the Stone Church tower remind me daily that “time, like an ever-rolling

stream” bears us along on this journey of life and faith. As we echo the tower by ringing out the old and ringing in the

new, I invite your prayers, your patience, your participation in the ministry that Scott and I share with each other and

with you.

“There is nothing permanent except change,” noted Heraclitus of Ephesus in the 5th century BCE. It seems so banal with

the New Year to speak of change and new beginnings. Yet it is so true of our church. Our installed pastor, Dennis

Dewey, will be “full-time, half-the-time” until he retires in July. Our treasurer for the past two years, Christine Menard,

is stepping down for an exciting new “second career.” We are getting a new clerk of session. We have sold our manse

built in 1851. The Boy Scout troop that the church has sponsored for 60 years has folded due to no more scouts. The

room they used (a bowling alley for a few decades in the 20th century) has been converted to a more permanent location

for our ever burgeoning Building Stones Fair Trade Shoppe. And in conjunction with the Stone Church session I have

been commissioned by the Utica Presbytery to be your Commissioned Lay Pastor (CLP). Dennis and I will be “tag

teaming” pastoral duties for the remaining of his tenure. After that it will be mostly me. I say mostly me because the

nature of Stone‟s ministry has been and will continue to include all of us in some way or another, as it was for the early

church as well.

Change is often scary for people. It is often unwelcomed and resisted. Though I am a creature of habit like many peo-

ple, change in itself is not something I fear because it is a part of life. We can stand and watch the waves of change

come crashing down on us or we can be like the surfers and learn to ride the wave and see where it will take us. My fear

is not the ride but whether I‟m stubbornly trying to keep control or trusting in the Lord and letting him work through

me. Let us not be anxious because our numbers are small and the work before us great. Rather let us be emboldened

knowing that we can do great things in God‟s name if we are with him. So let‟s be with him!

Wanted: Your Per Capita!

Please note that per capita payments

for 2015 are now being readily ac-

cepted!!! Our per capita charge this

year is $37 per member. The church

is assessed this amount for each mem-

ber on the membership roll. The per

capita is the cost of our representative

democracy as a church and supports the meetings and

operations of the Presbytery, Synod and General As-

sembly.

Please consider sending your per capita either directly

to the church office (P.O. Box 33, Clinton, NY 13323)

or enclosing it in your pledge envelope. Thank you in

advance for your help.

The Manse has been sold!

After 163 years and 15 pastors who lived there, the

manse on the corner of College St. and Sunset Ave. has

finally been sold (Sunset Ave. didn‟t even exist until

1927). On December 17, 2014 the clerk of session,

Scott Leonard, signed the papers selling the manse to

the people currently living there who have rented it

from us the past couple of years.

As noted by our historian, Midge Bakos, in the October

2010 newsletter the parsonage (as our congregational

forbears called it) was built for $2,654.22, which was

paid off within a year (we sold it for about 68 times that

amount).

It used to be common for churches to own a house for

the pastor, since pastors often moved around and pro-

viding housing was part of the way to compensate the

pastor. For a variety of financial and cultural changes,

these days it has become a less common practice.

Our church decided two years ago that we could not

foresee using the manse again as the pastor‟s housing

and that being a landlord was becoming a greater bur-

den to us as well as distracting us from our core mis-

sion. As part of our plan, we have been borrowing

against the equity of the manse to support our

budget. The proceeds from the sale have paid off that

equity line of credit and the rest (around $74,000) will

be used to support our overall mission as Stone Presby-

terian Church.

Lives Worth Knowing

Paul and Anne Dunn both grew up in New York City. Paul attended The Hotchkiss

School where he was editor of the newspaper. After graduating in 1954, he went to

Princeton and spent four years working at the undergraduate radio station and earn-

ing a BA in Psychology. Before he could pursue his career in radio, Paul spent two

years in the Army. He chuckled when he told me that the Army assumes because

you have a college education you naturally know how to type, and his first assign-

ment was clerk typist in Tacoma, Washington. Subsequently, he was in charge of

Army publicity at Minneapolis, MN.

Paul returned to NYC after his army discharge to pursue his radio career. He served

as assistant to the president of WMCA radio station from 1960-1966. Then he was

off to Geneva, NY to manage WGVA radio station. He came to Utica to manage

WTLB, WRCK in1968 where he worked until 1989. From 1989-2004, Paul held

various management positions at WCNY TV and Radio in Syracuse, before retiring from broadcasting in 2004.

Anne attended The Brearley School in NYC. She majored in philosophy at Connecticut College and graduated with a

BA in 1963. In the years around 1980, she earned her MS degree in Education from SUNY Cortland and permanent NY

State Certifications in Elementary Education, Reading K-12, English 7-12 and Math 7-12. She taught full-time for the

last three years of Oriskany Falls Central School, prior to its merger with Waterville Central School and has been substi-

tute teaching much of the time since then. Her most satisfying work was teaching English to Russian refugee women as

a volunteer in their homes in the Adrean Terrace, ND Peters and Matts Housing Projects, in the late 80‟s and early 90‟s.

She has been substituting in area schools off and on since that time and currently substitutes about 3 days a week, mostly

in Utica.

Paul and Anne had their first date after meeting at the NYC Eastside Democratic Club in April 1964. They were engaged

by July and married in October 1964. By the way, they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary a couple of months

ago. Belated congratulations are in order. The couple has three children. Kate, the oldest, is the minister (one of four) for

„parish care and outreach‟ at Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in NYC. Their two sons David and Nat live in Fayette-

ville, NY and manage “Webucator,” the IT training company which Nat founded in 2003. Paul and Anne have 8 grand-

children and Paul is quick to add that Anne is a sensational grandmother.

Paul has served as president of the Utica Symphony Orchestra Board. He has served as president and is a current board

member of the Center for Family Life and Recovery in Utica which deals with mental health and addiction problems. He

is currently a Democratic Committee person for the Town of Kirkland and also is a board member of the Foundation for

The Life School in Panajachel, Guatemala. They will return to Panajachel in January.

In their spare time, Paul and Anne love their camp at Little Long Lake in Woodgate, NY where they can relax or just

enjoy cross country skiing and summer activities. Paul plays golf daily and Anne specifically states that she loves to

read, walk in the woods, swim, row and bike.

Anne was raised Catholic, but has a strong Presbyterian heritage on her father‟s side, and Paul grew up in an Episcopal

Church. They were long time members of the New Hartford Presbyterian Church before joining Stone Church two years

ago. As you have already observed, Anne quickly became involved in storytelling, taking part in the service from time to

time. We at Stone Church welcome this delightful couple into our fellowship.

Credos Revisited

One of the ideas coming out of a meeting of the Membership, Communication and Outreach Committee was to revive

our “credos” that were started back in October 2007 and continued through the following year. “Credo” is the Latin word

for “I Believe.” Perhaps a good way to start the year 2015 is to encourage members to update or revise their past

“credos” and to invite others to submit their own statements of faith to be published in the newsletter. The “Credo” can

be any length but only needs to be a paragraph and statements of faith from those who have not done so in the past

would be most welcome.

To do this you can draw on life experiences that have sustained you or struggles that may have shaped your life. Some

questions that you might ask yourself are: How did you come by your faith? Were there mentors in your life along the

way? How has God strengthened your faith? Were you brought up in a church environment?

To begin this project I will present my own revised credo.

This I Believe

I believe that God‟s purpose for my life is to love, serve, and care for others regardless of the path I‟m

on or the circumstances in which I find myself. With prayer and reading scripture, my job is to trust in

his leadership and not rely on myself. Because of my impatience, relying on His timing is a continuous

battle. But with the help of the Holy Spirit, God continues to guide me and lifts me up when I stumble.

How could one not see God‟s handiwork in the beauty that surrounds us? Maybe that‟s why gardening

for me is giving back to him — taking care of His creation. A favorite time for me on the farm was sit-

ting on the bank of the Oriskany Creek — a quiet time for meditation and relaxation.

Church, Sunday school, youth group activities, bible study groups, Christian friends and family shaped my faith on this

journey. I especially remember my grandmother occasionally quoting scripture in a non-judgmental way but most of all

the image of her kneeling beside her bed well into her nineties remains etched in my memory.

If I‟ve learned anything from researching church history — it was the church‟s commitment to maintain worship from

the onset of the settlement, providing inspirational music to the glory of God and giving to mission. History is more than

recorded facts. To me it is life‟s journal — cherished memories of how things used to be and important changes made

along the way. God remains unchanged! He loves me, forgives me and is steadfast in reminding me to continue in rela-

tionship with Him.

What an amazing transformation!

The following blurb appeared in a recent edition of The Clinton Courier under the title “75 Years Ago:”

“The bowling alleys in the Stone Presbyterian Church, opened for the season a short time ago, are now

in full swing. Although organized groups are scheduled to bowl virtually every night, outsiders may find

opportunity to take part in the sport also.”

Now, through the ingenuity, hard work of MANY people and a vision for

mission of our church, our Fair Trade Shoppe exists where the bowling

alley used to be, with its own entrance on Williams Street. Our shop

sells handmade items from artisans and farmers from around the world.

We are helping people in underdeveloped countries lift themselves out of

poverty and provide a living for themselves and their families. Our shop

is beautiful and rivals any shops in the area. It is staffed by volunteers,

who thoroughly enjoy their involvement in the project. Of course, addi-

tional volunteers would always be helpful. We are open every Thursday

from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., second Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

During the summer months, you can also find us at the Farmer‟s Market

on the Village Green on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Gift certifi-

cates are available and credit cards are accepted. For more information,

go to www.stonepres.org, call 853-2933, or like us on Facebook.

Note: Sales in the Fair Trade Shoppe since Thanksgiving add up to $9,176.71, bringing our total sales for this fiscal year (beginning 2/1/14) to $25,151.64.

Advent Offerings

As I write this message, our Advent season is ending and we are approaching Christmas Day, the day we celebrate the

birth of our savior with an outpouring of joy. This joy is a sparkling end to the advent period of reflection and prepara-

tion.

Part of our congregation‟s preparation was in the form of our four special advent offerings. Our first Advent offering of

Hope was in support of Utica‟s Hope House whose main mission is to provide shelter and a hot meal to those without a

home or food. Our second offering of Love was given to the Country Pantry, an ecumenical food pantry located in Clark

Mills. Our third and fourth offerings, those of Joy and Peace, were directed to the Presbyterian Mission Agency. The

Joy offering funds will be used to assist retired church personnel and to support racial and ethnic church schools. The

Peace offering will be used to support both local and world-wide peacemaking efforts.

Although we are a small congregation, your generosity raised $851.86 to support these various missions. In so doing, I

would hope that each of us has endeavored to feel a greater connection to God‟s very own people at the other end of our

mission reach. Additionally I believe we will continue to demonstrate that the people of Stone Church are partners in

mission and generous, caring people who strive to do God‟s work in our complex and sometimes disturbing world.

Thank you. My wish is for a happy, healthy 2015 for each of you.

Your Neighbors – “Touching Lives Every Day”

Your Neighbors, an affiliate of the Lutheran Home of Central NY, is comprised of

community volunteers dedicated to serving the frail, elderly and those with limited

independence in the greater Utica area. Their volunteers offer companionship,

medical and personal transportation, friendly assistance, healthy home-cooked

meals and other services to enhance their clients‟ lives.

Over the past several months, Your Neighbors has experienced a sharp increase in the requests for supplemental frozen

meals. This is partially due to an increased waiting time for potential clients to qualify for county and state services and

partly because of increased restrictions regarding qualification for services.

We, the members and friends of Stone Church, have been asked to help Your Neighbors meet this need by providing a

quantity of meals for distribution. We plan to prepare and package these meals on Sunday, January 18 after our regular

worship service. Everyone is invited to join us in the dining room where we will work and join together for our own

lunch.

We are requesting either monetary donations to defray the costs of purchasing food to be prepared and packaged

OR a cooked meal that will feed 8-10 people which can be packaged. Your monetary contributions can be clearly

marked and put in the offering plate on Sunday or mailed to the Church office. Meals can be brought to church on Sun-

day, the 18th.

Please plan to participate in this Mission activity. Our support of this worthwhile organization and the help it provides to

people in our communities is an important expression of our congregation‟s desire to serve those in need.

Thank you.

Deacons‟ Corner

Wow!!! Where did 2014 go? Can‟t believe it is already 2015. As I am writing this…it is still 2014 and we are

still observing Advent…..4 weeks of preparation and waiting for Christmas…the celebration of Jesus‟ birth. By the

time you receive The Corner Stone we will have celebrated the official birth of Jesus on December 25th and are now

celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas before Epiphany.

I was looking back at what I wrote last year at this time. I wrote about a special “gift” that you might have forgotten

about. It was the gift of friendship from a family member, a close friend, a neighbor or a member of Stone Church. It

was a friendship based on Christ‟s love for you. I asked you all to cherish this gift…..and to pass it on. Did you? If

not…..you can do it this year. If you did do it….you can do it again. It is a gift we need to pass on always.

We, your Deacons, hope you had a blessed Christmas and our wish for you is to have a happy and healthy 2015. Re-

member, our Church is a Family. We are God‟s children. We believe in God, His Son and the Holy Spirit. Our purpose

is to worship God and to fellowship with one another as the evidence of our love for Him. Come and feel the Spirit fill

and renew you on Sunday mornings!!!!

Love and Peace, Gil Adams, Jim Gavett, Emily Hughes, Gary LaGasse, Judy LaGasse, Bev Miller, Hal Rance, Linda Rance, Brooke Villiere

Country Pantry

The clients of the Country Pantry are

very grateful for all of your donations.

need.
