Ash Wednesday Soup Supper

(Pastor Teri Thomas, Ashes-to-Go)

Each year during the season of Lent we talk about the traditions of sacrifice (giving something up for Lent) or a practice of doing some-thing new for the season. In order to help us all celebrate Lent with study, prayer, or spiritual practice we ask Teams, committees and groups to avoid meetings. We want everyone to use that time doing something that feeds their faith.

Two years ago, I just happened to have a pass for unlimited yoga for a month at the time Lent started. I went to yoga 5 times a week. I felt better physically, mentally, and spiritually. Unfortunately, once all the night meetings started up again

my yoga went back to an occasion-al practice. I am going to try again this year. I want to find a way to maintain the practice after Easter. That might mean getting up early for morning class or skipping lunch for a mid-day class. I am going to have to be more flexible in my scheduling as well as my postures.

We have opportunities here at church for you to add Lenten prac-tice to your schedule. We will have the Wednesday night class, Sun-day morning classes, the regular weekly Bible Study for Women on Tuesday at 11:00, the Men’s Prayer Breakfast on Wednesday at 8:15, and a special art experience. Why

don’t you add one of them to your routine for a few weeks and see how it feels?

Historically, Lent is a time to prepare for baptism and church membership or to re-commit to your faith. For me it has become a time to remember the connection between body, mind, and spirit and use them all in prayer and medi-tation. Let me know how you use your time this year.

Blessings - Pastor Teri

Northminster invites you to express yourself through the arts by participating in the Holy Week Celebration of the Arts. If you are a photographer, visual artist, poet, digital designer, quilter, knitter, fabric artist, fingerpainter, potter, play dough sculptor, composer or doodlers – your gifts are welcome! Your art may reflect the themes of Holy Week, the joy of Easter or your own faith journey. All submissions will be displayed throughout the church during Holy Week and the two weeks following Easter.

Don’t consider yourself an artist? Two workshops will be offered for those who don’t con-sider themselves artistic. If you can tear, cut and glue you are invited to join others on Satur-day morning, March 9, from 10:00-12:00 or Sunday, March 24, from 12:15-2:15 (snacks provided!). Three beautiful but easy art projects will be demon-strated and you will likely finish your creation before you leave. Youth 12 and older and all adults are invited to participate.

Please register so we can plan for supplies. (Registration dead-line for March 9th class is March 6th. Deadline for March 24th class is March 20th.) Call 317-251-9489 or go to: http://bit.ly/HolyWeekArtsNPC

Stephen Ministry is grounded in Jesus’ commandment to “love each other as I have loved you” (John 15:12). By means of this lay min-istry, those in our congregation and community who are hurting receive the love and support they need through a one-to-one, confidential, caring relationship with a trained Stephen Minister. If you, a family member, or a friend need someone who cares; someone who supports; someone who listens; and someone who shares, or if you would like more information about Northminster’s

Northminster Church is a Stephen Ministry Congregation

Stephen Ministry program, please contact Ruth Moore or Teri Thom-as in our church office (317-251-9489) or our referrals coordinator, Carol Campbell (317-432-7889).

Pastor Teri Thomas’ February 10th message, “Sermon on the Mount Part 3,” conveyed the perfect lead-in to our greatest opportunity for contributing to communities both near and far. Since 1949, One Great Hour of Sharing during the Lenten season has provided such teaching moments of sacrifice and giving. A generous OGHS offering provides funding for the following:

• Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA), such as the 2017 hurricanes as well as international aid;

• Presbyterian Hunger Program (PHP), that seeks to address the root causes of hunger in addition to relieving hunger itself around the world; and

• Self-Development of People (SDOP), which assists low-income communities across the U.S. in farming, worker rights, immigra-tion/refugee issues, etc.

Further information about OGHS can be found at: www.presbyte-rianmission.org/oghs. Designated OGHS envelopes will be in our church pews. Contributions can also be made by texting OGHS to 20222. The offering is collected Palm Sunday, April 14.

Let’s be who Jesus preached to, and about — a community of Christians in word and deed who see beyond themselves and include anyone who takes up Christ's teachings. We are One. Great. Hour. Of Sharing.

OGHS - Happy 70th Anniversary

In John Crossan’s book, God and Empire, Crossan talks about “the radicality of God’s justice versus the normalcy of civilization’s in-justice.” Think about that. As a so-ciety, we have become insensitive to so many daily injustices – gun violence, income inequality, cost-ly healthcare, racial disparity, the daunting, ever-present plight of the hungry and the poor – that we often view these conditions as “normal.” But God’s “justice” does not accept this normalcy. God expects us to care for one another in a broad, enveloping, compassionate manner that pushes our faith community to action.

And so we invite you to participate in an effective approach to sub-duing, minimizing and, hopefully someday, eradicating hunger for all people. On Sunday, May 5, at 10 am and Noon, in the Gathering Place, we will meet for our annual Offering of Letters, proclaiming our belief in a just and caring world and petitioning our Congressio-nal Representatives and Senators to support legislation to that end. We will have sample letters and/or bullet points to help you com-pose a heart-felt, succinct letter to your legislators. Please mark this on your calendar and join us in the Gathering Place in May.

Offering of Letters – Sunday, May 5

Curious Conversations are a time for new worship attendees to learn more about Northminster. We talk about what it means to be a Chris-tian and a Presbyterian in the 21st Century. We talk about the ministry and mission of NPC. We explore ways you can get involved in the life of the church. These Curious Conversations are also a time to discuss becoming an official mem-ber of the church. Curious? Please contact Associate Pastor Ruth Moore at 317-251-9489 or [email protected] if you can attend. Childcare is available with advance notice.

Curious Conversations – March 17 and 24 at 10 am

Are you interested in exploring God’s presence or grace in your life, deepening your experience of prayer or spiritual practices? Elder Mary Beth Riner is current-ly completing the first year of the spiritual direction program at the Benedict Inn in Beech Grove. She and her classmates are seeking interested individuals who would be willing to participate in month-ly sessions. Your name will be kept confidential. What is spiritual direction? Spiritual direction is about one’s relationship with God. No matter your faith background, if you de-sire to: recognize God’s presence or grace in your life; deepen your experience of prayer or spiritual practices; listen to God’s Spirit speaking within you; integrate spirituality into your daily life; or, get to know the God who desires

and loves you deeply, then spiritual direction is for you. Spiritual di-rection is more about being encour-aged in your spiritual journey than being directed. We believe God’s Spirit is the true Director and the human director helps to facilitate the movement of the Spirit in the life of one who comes for direction by listening deeply to the other. Is there a fee? If you are seeing one who is in training as an intern spiritual direc-tor, there is no fee. (Currently, for a spiritual director who is not an intern one might expect to pay up to about $75 per session.) Spiritual directors do not meet with family members, close friends, or those they see regularly in work or social settings. If you are able to help an intern to develop the skills and art of spiritual direction by

meeting with one, your partic-ipation in this program will be greatly appreciated. Please give your name, email address and phone number to either Mary Beth Riner ([email protected] or 317-417-8730) or to Antoinette Purcell, OSB ([email protected]; or 317-787-3287 ext. 3022). Thank you for giving this your time and attention!

Weekend Food for KidsVolunteers Needed for Gleaners “Backsack” Project On Thursday, March 14, the NorthStars fellowship group will again sponsor a Northminster workday at Gleaners Food Bank. We will work the assembly line to stuffs bags of food for school kids who are known to lack nu-tritional food at home. Gleaners distributes 10,000 of these bags every Friday through schools in central Indiana.

This year our work shift will be from 12:30 to 2:30 pm with standing and sitting work sta-tions to accommodate individual needs. We’ll meet at Gleaners at 11:30 am for lunch and orien-tation before starting our shift. Box lunches will be provided, $5 each. Carpooling will be avail-able, leaving church at 10:45 am.

This is the 6th year that North-minster will supply a minimum of 30 workers. Gleaners relies on over 21,000 volunteers each year to collect, assemble and distribute over 2 million pounds of free food to 21 counties in central Indiana. Please consider volunteering for this rewarding project. (Non-church members are welcome and invited!)

Contact Cheri or Bob Gudgel @ 317-844-7139 to reserve your place on the assembly line.

At the end of July 2019, John and Marty Brooks will be retiring from the “administrative” duties of NorthStars fellowship group. We are looking for new leadership who would start in August 2019. This could be one or two people to take over the duties of planning the August pitch-in dinner that is held in Calvin Hall. From this dinner / meeting, most of the year’s special monthly events are planned for the next year with input from volun-

teers who are willing to plan and coordinate these events.

Not every month has to have an activity. Every year the commu-nity always has new and exciting shows, concerts, tours, talks, trips to take, and fellowship to share and enjoy with Northminster members and friends.

If you are interested, please contact John or Marty at (317) 848-6995 or [email protected].

NorthStars are back on the road in April, travelling to Terre Haute to visit the CANDLES Holocaust Museum (acronym for Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Exper-iments Survivors). We will meet at church on Tuesday, April 16, departing by 8:30 am to arrive in time for the opening of the Muse-um at 10 am.

At 10:30 am, we will be treated to a presentation by Eva Kor, speak-ing about her Holocaust experience and her message of Forgiveness.

We will plan on lunch around 1 pm in Terre Haute, before returning to church by 4 pm. Cost is $5 per person for the Muse-um, plus any transportation ex-penses and lunch on your own. We will reserve the church bus, though carpooling is preferred.

Please contact Dolly Craft at [email protected] or 317-502-2080 to indicate your interest. Reservation deadline is April 11. Newcomers are always welcome!

Spring is the Right Time for Jazz!Sound & Spirit welcomes Hora Certa - Sunday, April 7, 4 pm Here’s a little Sound & Spirit detour from Bach and Bluegrass. How does it sound to welcome Spring with a Sunday afternoon of J A Z Z? Next we present Hora Certa, Sunday, April 7 at 4 pm, in the sanctuary at Northminster where this fusion is free.

HORA CERTA (Portuguese for ‘Right Time’) celebrates the excit-ing music of Brazilian masters and contemporary composers/artists. What does that mean, you ask? Think of the bossa nova, think of samba, think of choro, think of Eg-berto Gismanti, think of Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd.

The University of Louisville School of Music is professional home to Faculty Artist Mike Tracy, along-side Winton Reynolds, Giovanni Sena, Terry O’Mahoney, and Kiko Sebrian. The ensemble specializ-es in performing the many varied styles and rhythms that are unique to Brazil. The ensemble is led by saxophonist Michael Tracy, Direc-tor of the Jamey Aebersold Jazz Studies Program at the University of Louisville, and features Brazilian musicians, bassist Hamilton Pin-heiro, and percussionist Kiko Sebri-

an. Joining the group are pianist/keyboardist Winton Reynolds, and drummer Terry O’Mahoney. The ensemble features original mate-rial from the recently released CD HORA CERTA in addition to music by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Hermeto Pascoal, Moacyr Santos, Joao Do-nato, Gilberto Gil, Djalma Ferreira, Dominguinhos, Joao Bosco, Os-waldo Amorim and more.

Brazilian music is the result of the fusion of European music brought by the Portuguese, African music that came with the slaves in the 16th century, and native Indian music that was already an estab-lished form on the continent when the colonization process started. Although often confused with the Spanish influenced music from Central America like the calypso, rumba, salsa and other variations, Brazilian music is very different. The rhythms are far more subtle and developed from geographical regions within the country. These

very diverse regions, with their cul-tural differences, influenced Bra-zil’s exciting music and musicians. That’s how we get bossa nova from one region, samba from another, and charo, a gutsy general style.

From Bach to jazz to bluegrass, Sound & Spirit concerts celebrate regional and international artist-ry. These concerts are presented free of charge to the Broad Ripple Community and beyond. Funded by supporters and the audience, we accept a free-will offering to main-tain standards of future events. For more about this and all future Sound & Spirit concerts, go to: http://bit.ly/SandS18-19.
