3G as in Grace, Grati-
tude, and Generosity. Go
has granted us Grace in so
many ways, most notably h
at St. Martins. But are we
expressing Gratitude to Go
for that Grace through suf
cient Generosityof our tim
talent and treasure? Thro
a heightened year-round foon stewardship we hope t
help raise ourselves to a
greater appreciation of Go
extravagant Grace that we
express through a new sta
of Generosity. This years
stewardship campaign will
take place in October and
November and will kick of
the year-round focus. Loo
forward to hearing more
about the 3Gs in the comi
weeks, thinking and prayin
about what the 3Gs mean
you, and finally, the ingathe
ing of our 2011 pledges on
Nov. 14.
The Rev. Jon Hall and Steve Gillies join dozens of members resurfacing

Staying in spiritual shape
P A G E 3S T M A R T I N S C H U R C H . O R G
Dear brothers and sisters
in Christ,
What a great time to be at
St. Martins! The momen-
tum is strong and there is a
terrific spirit about the
place. We have wonderful
staff and lay leadership as
we head into the rest of 2010
and look ahead at 2011. We are
blessed by the presence and par-
ticipation of new ministries and
new members. Life is good, as thesaying goes, and I praise God for
all good gifts.
I have two thoughts, from a pas-
toral perspective, that I want to
share with you. The first is that
each of us needs to grow in our
spiritual life as we collectively
take on more responsibility that
comes with being a spiritually
mature congregation. Tradition-
ally we Anglicans do this chiefly
via our worship, music, outreach,
and prayer life. St. Martins has
many opportunities for spiritual
growth through the various bible
studies and prayer
groups. Christian
Formation pro-
grams are vibrantand offer a great
array of topics
that promise chal-
lenging and en-
couraging conversation. I am
asking you to stay in shape in
your spiritual lives by giving
yourself the chance to grow with
any of these opportunities. As
we grow in faith we are more
available to grow in our disciple-
ship which is the fruit of spiritual
maturity. So take care of your-
self, accept the challenges that
accompany believers, and claim
the joy God has for all of us as a
community of faith.
Secondly is a word of encourage-
ment for you to prioritize as
much as possible. I am not sure if
there is such a thing as a perfect
balance, but to try for more of a
balance is usually within our con-
trol. How do you lean upon
Gods strength for your daily or
weekly endeavors? Is your cur-
rent list of priorities causing you
to thrive or merely survive?
My reason for bringing up our
spiritual growth and priorities
comes from a deep desire for
our church to be a truly healthy
place. Only Gods mercy can
minister to that. The question
then is how are we open to re-
ceiving such mercy?The heart of
the issue has to do with anothersaying I heard once: In order to
say yes to the great things some-
times we have to say no to some
good things. I pray that we take
the time to be a healthy commu-
nity. Discerning the Spirit is a
must for us! The world around
us is full of anxious answers and
sometimes people will latch on to
those only to find out they have
been taken for a ride. May we be
the Church that offers life-giving
connections for ourselves and
others. Claim the joy!
Blessings, Fr. Jon

St. Martins to hire an additional part-time sextonAre you looking for a part-time job? We need an
additional staff person to perform routine mainte-
nance and cleaning duties at our church.

rently handled by Tom Warrington, who has been

When you are in a crisis situation, such as the
loss of a loved one, a divorce, an illness, the
loss of job, anxiety about the future or any
other reason, Stephen Ministers can guide
you with steps you need to take. We provide
a comforting and accepting situation so that
you can talk openly about your feelings, ex-
pressing your sadness, hurt, anger or fears.
Our purpose is to get you though the pre-sent, one day at a time, and enable you handle

life and love in frontier Arizona at the end of
the last century. Fragmented and disjointed in
its early chapters, with poor spelling and
grammar, Sarah's journal gradually gains in
clarity and eloquence as she matures. While
this device may frustrate some readers at
first, Taylor's deft progression produces the
intended reward: she not only tells of her
heroine's growth, but she shows it through
Sarah's writing and insights. The result is a
compelling portrait of an enduring love, the
rough old West and a memorable pioneer.
God will show you the way ahead. As Mat-thew said about people facing difficulties:
"Look at the birds in the air; they do not
sow or reap or store away, and yet your
heavenly Father feeds them" (Matt 6:26); and
again "Therefore do not worry about to-
morrow, for tomorrow will worry about
itself" (Matt 6:34). By focusing on the proc-
ess, rather than results, we can help you
work through you grief effectively, and get
you back on your feet and ready to face the
future.

the many species youll

On giving thanks the UTO way
P A G E 5S T M A R T I N S C H U R C H . O R G
By Bette Crabtree
Our fall ingathering will
be Sunday, Oct. 31, at
all services.
By practicing the disci-
pline of daily prayers and
thanksgiving, you will be
expressing the deepest
faith in your thankfulness
to God, for who you are,
what you are able to
achieve in your life and
how you share your love.
The United Thank Offering is a
long-standing tradition in the
Episcopal Church. Placing
thankful coins in the Blue Box
is also a tradition, rich in spiri-
tuality and love. The United
Thank Offering began as a part
of missionary efforts of the
Womens Auxiliary to theBoard of Mission in 1889.
Every coin from every Blue Box
and Blue Envelope is given in
grants.
Every cent you give, represent-
ing your thankful prayers today,
is the dream for tomorrows
life and gives hope to people all
over the world.
Every member of the family can
become part of UTO by taking
a few minutes each day
for prayer and thankful-
ness. By sharing the bless-
ings in your life you helpmany people in need.
There may be a few min-
utes when all of you are
together at breakfast or
dinner or when each of
you can find a moment to
remember how lucky you
are, say a prayer and drop
a coin in the Blue Box.
Keep the box where you can
see it every day as a reminder
to give thanks for your many
blessings. Your gifts through
prayer each day will make a
difference in someones life
tomorrow.
Blue boxes and envelopes are
available in the Narthex if you
need one.
ECW says Thanks!

Sharing in a prayer from a London churchBy Rina Chittooran
I spent my sabbatical at the University of London
last fall and attended a wonderful Anglican church
called St. Pancras built in 1819, right up the streetfrom the British Museum, in one of the busiest
parts of London. I spent every Sunday morning
there, standing in a wooden pew (with a door) in
a little hollow worn away by thousands of feet
that had stood there before me for almost 200
years. This prayer was placed in each pew and I've
always thought it was lovely. I wanted to share it
with everyone at St. Martin's because it exempli-
fies what I think we are, as a church, and what we
can continue to be.
"God, our Heavenly Father, make, we pray,
door of this church wide enough to welcom
who need human love and fellowship and a Fther's care; but narrow enough to shut out a
envy, pride and lack of love. Here may the
tempted find help, the sorrowing receive co
fort, and the penitent be assured of your me
and here may all your children renew their
strength and go on their way in hope and joy
through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Thomas Ke
Bishop of Bath & Wells, 1684-1711).

Finding God in the silence
P A G E 7S T M A R T I N S C H U R C H . O R G
Be quiet!
Sit still!
Just listen
How many times have
you spoken those words
to your children? I often
say them in frustration, hoping
God will grant me a little grace
to deal with the problem of the
moment. But instead of just
barking those orders to a loved
one, Id like to suggest you to
do the same yourself. Being
quiet, sitting still and just listen-
ing can lead to some profound
encounters with God.
Silence can be uncomfortable
even frightening. Our lives are
filled with sound. We turn on
televisions and radios when no
one is around to fill the silence
so we dont feel
alone. I challenge
you to take a moment
right now: close youreyes and sit quietly for
one minute.
What did you hear?
What were you thinking about?
How did you feel?
I do this exercise in our confir-
mation class every week
gradually increasing the amount
of time we sit in silence. Some
people are immediately com-
fortable with the ideaothers
never get comfortable with it.
But I think its important to give
God a chance to talk to us.
Remember the story of Elijah at
Horeb? (Read 1 Kings 19: 1-15)
Elijah had run away because he
was afraid for his life. He was
hiding in a cave, waiting for
guidance from God. There wasa great wind, an earthquake and
a fire. But Elijah didnt hear the
voice of God until there was
silence.
I encourage you to come to our
confirmation class, take a quiet
walk, kneel in the pews at
church or just close your eyes
at your desk at work or school.
Be quiet, sit still and just listen
for God.

tices and tools for teens and par-

Answering Gods Call in the spirit of St. Francisistering medication, steaming stuffy
noses and cleaning up after sick
litters of puppies and kittens.
Fostering sure turns life into agrand adventure. Ive had kittens
stuck behind my refrigerator, res-
cued puppies in my fishpond and
had my hostas smashed flat by
romping canines. Ive cleaned up
all manner of messes off my floor,
my shoes and my bare feet. Ive
found that a spunky kitten colliding
with a glass of orange juice causes
considerable damage to my laptop
keyboard. Ive pried disgusting ob-
jects from the mouths of pups,
including a used cigar, desiccated
worms, and treasures from the
litter box while frantically shouting,
Icky, Icky, Icky! Ive tamed wild
kittens that were not adoptable,
offering them love and teaching
them that hands are for petting.
Ive learned that Pit Bulls can be
the sweetest of pups, Great Pyre-

We go forth from church every
Sunday to do Gods work in the
world. Mopsi Hanley and I have
found our passion as foster par-
ents with the Humane Society of
Missouri.
Every year more than 1,500 ani-
mals enter the foster care sys-
tem. Mopsi and I are part of a
volunteer group who give them a
home, love and a chance for a bet-
ter life. Although the facilities and
care at the shelter are superb, the
individual attention received in a
home makes such a difference in
their lives.
Animals come into foster care for
a variety of reasons. Babies just
need time to grow. Others need
socializing. Some are recovering
from illness, most common are
upper respiratory infections. Mopsi
and I have become pros at admin-
nees are really big, newborn Shih
Tzus look like guinea pigs, and
Labs dont always like water. Ive
discovered that kittens can hidein the smallest space, but emerge
when the vacuum is turned on
and that puppies walk just fine
down the street but like to be
carried home. Ive treated upper
respiratory infections, diarrhea,
eye injuries and parvo. Ive cared
for nursing mamas and babies,
some from puppy mills, never
having been in a home before. My
mind cant imagine the horrors
they have experienced but look
with hope to their future.
When the chores are over-
whelming and the house is clut-
tered, I find peace in the chaos
with a purr or wag of the tail,
knowing this is where they need
to be.Often Im asked how I can give
them up again. Sometimes I cry,
but I always kiss them good bye
and tell them that I will love them
forever. My trust in the system
and hope that they will find their
Forever Homes allows me to
continue. Other fosters are al-
ways waiting, needing care. Thecycle of soiled newspapers and
litter boxes, puppy chow, laundry,
belly rubs and love begins
again. Ive opened my heart, an-
swered Gods call in my own
unique way and have received
more blessings than I ever imag-
ined.

By Mary Pomeroy
St. Martins pulled out all the stops for Fr.
Jons Installation Reception on August 25
and what a blast it was! We had a win-
ning combination: delicious food, great
music and happy people!
Everyone was eager to step up with their
time, talent, and treasure to share their
joy and thanksgiving for the new begin-
ning and new life in our church. So many
people helped in so many ways; we could
not have done it without your loving gen-
erosity and helping hands.
Many thanks to all who contributed and/
or helped in any way:
