When you come to a quiet place,ideas can come like rain. When

you first arrive, it may start outas only a drop or two, but as thesilence sets in, the rain thatgood, strong, insightful and sacredrain starts to fall.

This was my brief experience atthe New Camaldoli Hermitage in BigSur, California. High on the edgeof a steep ridge, overlooking thePacific Ocean, I spent a few daysthere sermon planning, writing,praying and well ... evaluating my lifes course.

Following the contemplativeroutine of Vigil, Lauds, Eucha-rist and Vespers, all within thecovenant of silence, I found myself centering, slowing down listening

to the creative pulse of the Holy.Of course, in the beginning, littleanxieties, like a pestering cloudof mosquitoes, buzzed about my senses, but then, within my roomat the retreat house or out for aheady walk, they came thoseideas, those refreshing raindrops.

Ideas like how much I value andlove Heather and the kids. Dontget me wrong I enjoy the still-ness of the monastic community,but I was never meant to be aBenedictine monk.

Sitting alone in the chapel, I

found myself praying and givingthanks for the congregation atStone Church, especially for spe-cial people who do so much: dea-cons, elders, newsletter editors,Church School teachers, youth

workers, staff, etc. I prayed forour shut-ins and those struggling

with health issues. The quiet ledme to give thanks for close friendsIve had through the years andfor new friends God has broughtinto my life here in San Jose andLos Gatos.

All this is to say that going to a

quiet place, even finding a spot in your own backyard, can stir theheart and mind.

Now, I realize this may come ashock to many of you, since youhad me pegged for an extrovertbut even the most gregarious talkerneeds time and space to get his orher footing.

In this Easter season, may we alfind that quiet place. Yes, amidstEaster egg hunts, spring break,graduation plans, mission trips,

travel plans, and singing Alleluiamay we slow down enough to allowthe God in Christ Jesus to catch up

with our busy lives. And if youre looking for

personal retreat, I would highlyrecommend the New CamaldolHermitage . But beware as youenter into the silence, you mightstart getting ideas.

Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10

Sunday Evening (7-9 pm) endingMarch 2: The Gospel According to Us

In The Gospel According To Us, DuncanHolcomb invites us to rethink our

comfortable assumptions about Jesuand being a modern Christian. In anengagingly personal foreword, he drawus as he was himself drawn into thmany obstacles, real and imagined, thaprevent us from encountering Jesusthrough the biblical story. He follow

with eight essays, startling in wit aninsight, and intentionally shocking toreconnect us with the electrifying andilluminating power of Jesus as God

Word. Along the way, he sketches thecontradictions and social camouflagein our pleasant, color-between-the-lChristianity as he compares it to thesubversive message of Jesus, all whgiving a nifty beating to both populapiety and skeptical scholarship.

Have you noticed how youngStones children are this year? Check it out as they take off following thechildrens message in Worship. Themajority are K-2. At this age, theirtheological concepts include:

Church is a special place tofeel secure; people who love

you go to church; and youlearn to do many things atchurch.God is like a parent, and Jesusis his son who helps peopleand shows us Gods love.

Developing a program that meetstheir needs spiritually is a challenge,especially when we recognize that

no two children are alike. Eachis a gift from God and a blessingto Stone. We want them to haveencounters with God and Godly conversations at Stone. We do not

want to underestimate their devel-opment mentally or emotionally.

This means each of us mustremember our Baptismal vows, which require the community totalk to our youngest about God stuff .This is a job for all of us, not justparents and teachers. Yes, what yousay and how you say it is very impor-tant to their spiritual growth.

You are invited to volunteer as ateacher-assistant this Spring. Have

your theology challenged by these young minds that have such clear visions of Gods creations.

Please contact Rosaleen Zisch if youare interested in helping with churchschool, or have any questions about it.

Tomorrows Christianity: Not RescuinSinners, But Transforming Humanity a

free lecture by John Shelby Spong, SundaMarch 9, 4:30 pm, First CongregationalChurch, 1980 Hamilton Avenue, San Jose

John Shelby Spong, retired Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark, New

Jersey, is the author ofmany books, including Rescuing the Bib

from FundamentalismWhy Christianity MuChange or Die , A NewChristianity for a NewWorld , and Jesus fthe Non-Religious.

He seeks to be onthe cutting edge of theological scholar-ship while witnessing to crucial societalconcerns regarding feminism, gay rightsand racial equality.

Spong proposes a new Reformation where many of Christianitys basicdoctrines would be reformulated. Hebelieves that the so-called literal interpretation of the Bible is inadequate formodern Christian communities needfor understanding; that theism has lost

credibility in speaking of God; that JesusChrist expressed the presence of a Godof compassion and selfless love; and thathistorical claims regarding the truth of the virgin birth and the bodily resurrec-tion of Jesus fail. - Pat Mage

At its regular meeting on February 19, members of the Session welcomednew member Katherine Webb Cal-hoon. Katherine told the Sessionshe was born a Presbyterian. Herextensive experience with the churchis a gift to Stone.

Session remembered the three long-time Stone Church members whodied in February: Lorene Nelson,

who died February 8, first joinedStone on February 8, 1948, and wasa gifted teacher. Howard Dilts, Sr.,

who died February 2, joined in 1976;he will be remembered for his pianoplaying and his care of his wife Judy.

Vivian Shimmon, who died February 12, joined Stone in 1992; she will be

remembered as a talented artist. With regret, Session accepted the

resignation of Greg Edwards as aDeacon, because of conflicts withschool. Ken Henry noted that churchmembers with young families also findthe demands of leadership difficult

when added to work and family life.Session discussed the responsibili-ties of church officers and staff toreport possible sexual misconduct tochild protective services. There hadbeen a report at the meeting of thePresbytery of San Jose noting thatin such cases the responsibility is toreport, not to try to judge the meritsof any conduct. Churches are liable if reports are not made immediately.

On Sunday, June 22, as part of theGeneral Assembly meeting in San

Jose, a worship service with from7,000 to 8,000 people in attendance

will be held at the Event Center atSan Jose State University and simul-taneously at the Civic Auditorium.

After discussion, the Session voted tocancel Stones regular worship on thatday, with the possibility that a simpleprayer service might be available.

Where can a young woman, homefrom college for a month before hersemester abroad, go flying down the skislopes with her whole family?

Where can a woman from Colombiatry Nordic skiing for the first time?

Where can you see a six-year-oldbreak dance in snow boots?

Where can you find a 12-room snow mansion with a lake view?

Why, its on the Stone Church Family Ski Trip to Zephyr Point ConferenceCenter in South Lake Tahoe!

The holy spirit was alive and well forthis annual adventure. A total of 65souls were in attendance ranging from

wee ones (Grace Zecchin and Bonnie James) to those on the other end of thespectrum (and we know who we are!).

The weather on Saturday was beau-tiful. Snowperson making, sledding,and skiing (of both the Nordic and

Alpine varieties) were the activities onthe agenda. Several church families

(McNelis, McDaid-Westerberg, Spring-er, and Sailor) headed over to SpoonerLake to enjoy the natural beauty andoptimal weather conditions - relatively no wind!

The Searings, accompanied by Andrew Bailey and the Galgano-Ander-sons, hit the slopes at Heavenly. Others

went into Heavenly Village and didsleigh rides and ice skating.

The highlight of Saturday evening was the talent show. Zoe Zecchin andMadeline McNelis were the emcees forthe show, which featured the talents of

our Stone Church kids!On Sunday morning, the groupawoke to a beautiful winter wonder-land and fresh snow. The kids wastedno time putting on their snowsuits andspending the morning on the lawn by the lake, building snow forts and run-ning around.

Thanks to all who participated formaking it a great trip!
