As I approach the one-year mark of my ministry at St. Bartholomew’s, I am taking some time to look back and reflect on how my experience has been. It has undoubtedly been a year of change for my marriage, as Michelle and I have gone to living in separate countries for half the year (a paradigm we hope will be ending soon), but amidst the discouragement and frustration that holds, it has also been the most uplifting and rewarding year of my life.

I recently took my dog, Slade, on a hike to the Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles with a friend. Michelle and I had come here two years ago on vacation, where living and working in Southern California was not even close to being on our radar. We left a trinket at the top of the Hollywood sign (other people leave locks as they do on the famous bridge in Paris), vowing that we would come back in 15 years to see if it was still there. While Slade and I couldn’t find the trinket, I was reminded that life can change very quickly, and our deepest intentions are often altered by circumstance.

Michelle and I are incredibly lucky to have this opportunity at St. Bart’s. Not just the fortune that I was born with dual citizenship and able to apply for the position, but that we found a church that has given us joy beyond our imagining. I am reminded every day on campus that we are doing something really special here, as the welcoming culture and strong

community presence is not found in most churches I have been to. I am very excited to see what the future will bring.

The musicians have been wonderful to work with, from our singers to our players. I feel inspired to come to rehearsal each night and

continue to grow a thriving program. We created some beautiful offerings for our community this year, from weekend worship services to Evensong services, to concerts and other special events, and I feel very blessed that we have the pieces to achieve any artistic vision that I may have.

encouraging us to think about gratitude lately. When I think new daily routine in San Diego, I see it as one being blessed with moment after moment of opportunities that are causes for thankfulness. Perhaps you can see similar opportunities in your life as well. What are some things that you are grateful for? I was certainly reminded of gratitude at our recent Memorial Day service where we gave thanks for the freedoms that we have, thanks to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.

Life is about change. Circumstances will always make us alter our most well-thought-out plans. Perhaps God is giving us a sign that we should be going somewhere or doing something else. Be alert, because you never know where life might take you next, and always maintain a heart of gratitude for our multitude of blessings.

Many of our preschool families graduated this year. We sure hope their children have enjoyed their preschool experience with us and our St. Bart’s hospitality. Graduation was held June 10 and 11 with the balance of the week themed as summer fun days, with lots of bubbles, slime, water, and outdoor play.

This summer we are offering two summer camp sessions – Road Trip and Water Week. Both camps will have weeklong activities to keep our friends busy. In addition, many of our preschool students and siblings attended the St. Bart’s VBS.

Over the past year, our St. Bart’s Families and Community have been such an amazing part of our school program by sharing their generosity to our many school outreach programs: Central Elementary School Angel Tree, Read Across America Book Drive and your support to our preschool Financial Aid Fund through our basket fundraiser. We are pleased to announce that we were able to meet our goal for the year ahead to support our Financial Aid program. Thank you so much for your help, support, and ability to change so many lives with your generosity.

For our families that will be continuing with us and new families, in the year ahead we will be sure to keep you informed

of summer events, back to school open house, playdates, and any exciting news over the summer.

In the Fall, please stay posted for our upcoming 20-year anniversary celebration!

Lastly, it is with sincere joy and sadness that we announce the retirement from teaching of Maureen Warren. Maureen has been with St. Bart’s Preschool for 20 years. During that time, she has educated and nurtured almost 250 children in her classroom. Maureen’s passion for teaching and her unconditional love of children has inspired all of us who have had the privilege to work alongside of her. Maureen, however, will not be leaving us altogether as she has agreed to be a Consultant and Mentor at our Preschool. She will also coordinate special projects and events. Please join us in Congratulating Maureen and Praying for the next adventures on her journey.

I know, you read the title and said to yourself, “this doesn’t seem like the type of article that would be in our church newsletter.” Sadly, we live in a world where some people work very hard to trick us out of our hard earned money. Many in the St. Bartholomew’s church office and some of our parishioners have received phony emails where “Father Mark” asks for help, money, gift cards, and even favors. Here’s how you can recognize phony emails and phone calls and protect yourself and your bank accounts.

Does the email seem real? Father Mark or any clergy will not send an email to a parishioner asking personally for help or money. Sure, you may get an email from Father Mark asking for you to increase your pledge, but that will come from an official email with the St. Bartholomew’s logo at the top (usually from (news@stbartchurch.org) or from Father Mark’s work email address (revmark@stbartschurch.org). Remember, many fake emails contain an urgent message to appeal to your need to help someone you trust.

Is the email coming from a trusted source? Sure, you see Father Mark’s name and think the email is legitimate. Before you click reply or send him money, check the email address in the address block at the top. The display name can be changed easily. Father Mark’s name may appear in the from line, but you may need to click details or a down arrow to view the actual from email address. Emails from St. Bartholomew’s come from @stbartschurch.org addresses. Often fake emails come from Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail accounts (recently a fake Father Mark email was sent from revmsmark@gmail.com).

Recognizing Phony Emails & Phone CallsKristeen Evans, Communications Manager

Fake emails that look as though they were sent from your bank can be very convincing and difficult to recognize as fake. The design of the email looks exactly like an official bank email. Still, look at the from email address. You’ll usually see two letters reversed in the bank's name or something misspelled in the email address. A good rule of thumb is to never click an email link or view account button in any email. Instead, delete the email and log into your bank account from a web browser.

Another recent email scam targets online shopping. You may receive an email from a business that you the buy from online telling you to reset your password. If you did not request a password reset, delete the email and do not click any links.

What do I do with the email? If you have identified the email as fake by checking the from the email address, delete the email. Do not reply to the email or click any links in the email. If you accidentally reply to a fake email, immediately change your email password. If you click a view account link or reset password link from an email, do not panic. Open the website and request a password reset (usually you need to click “forgot password” from the login screen”) and reset the password immediately.

What about phony telephone calls?Recently, phony telephone calls have become very popular with scammers. Practically every day I receive 3-4 fake phone calls to my mobile phone. Some are quite amusing. A popular one is that my social security number has been compromised and will be canceled. I trust nothing that doesn’t come from a friend or someone I know. As we’ve seen with emails from Father Mark, you have to be cautious about emails from people you trust too. When I receive a phone call from a credit card company that says they suspect fraud on my account, I never push any button to continue. Instead, I hang up and call the number on the back of my credit card to discuss suspected fraud.

How do I reporting email and phone scams?If you receive a fake email from Father Mark or anyone else at St. Bartholomew’s, please contact the church office at 858-487-2159 and talk to Beth Dean or forward the email to bdean@stbartchurch.org.

If you think a scammer has your personal information, like your Social Security number, credit card, or bank account number, go to IdentityTheft.gov. There you’ll see the specific steps to take based on the information that you lost.

Notice that this email is from Rev. Mark McKone-Sweet, someone you trust, but is sent from an @

gmail.com email address. Emails from Father Mark come from an @stbartschurch.org email address.

Everyone survived our African Safari at VBS! We had rhino, giraffe, buffalo, lion, and hoopoe (a bird) sightings while out in the bush. Did you know that a lion eats around 18 pounds of meat every day? And, a group of giraffes in motion is called a jenny. We learned all sort of things this week! The kids played with Tumble Drums, Optichromes, Playdoh, and of course, water! They played African games like bowling and stick-jump. Everyone (including the volunteers) learned that when life is good, scary, challenging, sad, or unfair - GOD is good!

This year, VBS had kids from kindergarten through 5th grade in mixed groups rather than separating them by grades. It was inspiring to see the older kids become mentors to these little ones. The younger ones felt comfortable to join in with older peers. What a cool concept! Our teens had the tough job of keeping their crews safe, engaged, and having fun - and they succeeded with flying colors.

Thank you to all the VBS teachers, snack helpers, sign in/out crew, and decorating teams for making our third consecutive VBS the best yet. It truly is one of the best weeks of the year for our church and community.

Next year Vacation Bible School will be at St. Bartholomew's June 22-26. Mark your calendars now! Registration begins next March. This year we were fully registered in April and had a waitlist. Please register early! See you next summer!

Another Year of VBS Success!Maureen Hovannesian

You may hear the phrase phishing which is the fraudulent attempt to obtain personal information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by disguising oneself as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. If you receive a phishing email, forward it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at spam@uce.gov and to the Anti-Phishing Working Group at reportphishing@apwg.org. If you receive a phishing text message, forward it to SPAM (7726). Also, report the phishing attack to the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint.

It’s hard to look at emails and phone calls as out to get you. Personally, I don’t like living this way – trusting nothing. So why do we continue to receive phony emails and phone calls? The simplest answer is that people keep believing them. Someone is making money. Be smart and stay safe.

Let’s begin with the basic question – Is the Bible a scientific textbook or not? While there are lots of Christians who argue that the story of creation recorded in the Bible is historically and scientifically accurate, there are many other Christians including most Mainline Protestants who believe that the story of creation is not science at all.

Rather, it’s theology because it was written by people who understood God in their way in their time. In other words it was true for them. That is how the redactors ( Authors) understood the world.

Professor of Physics and devout Anglican Russell Stennard of Open University in England insists: “Evidence in favor of Big Bang and evolution is so strong that nobody who seriously considers the subject can doubt it. That shouldn’t worry Christians – apart from the fundamentalists. The Book of Genesis, speaking in a poetic way, is concerned with a great spiritual truth: that God is the creator of everything, and we depend for our existence on him. Big Bang and evolution, if you like, are his way of doing things. This should be accepted as a matter of course in the pulpit and the classroom.”

Hans Kung, the Roman Catholic scholar, puts it like this: “It is important to remember that the creation accounts in the Bible do not intend to offer scientific information about the way the universe came into being.

What they do intend to show is the ultimate Source of the universe, a testimony which science can neither confirm nor refute: at the beginning of the world and all time is God.”

Pope John Paul II several years ago admitted that he saw no conflict between religious teachings and the theory of evolution. In a message to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the pope said, “Today… new knowledge leads to recognition of the theory of evolution as more than a hypothesis.”

Do you see the point? The creation story in Genesis is not science; it’s theology. It makes an incredible claim that science cannot refute: that “In the beginning God created…” Through this creation we humans are given a special identity: we are created in the image of God. The creation story is not scientific prose; rather, it is the highest form of divinely inspired poetic truth, a hymn of praise for the wonder and mystery of creation.

Today's astrophysicists are pretty much convinced that the universe in 13.2 Billion years old and started with a Big Bang. The

Faith and Science: Are They Compatible? Part 2The Rev. William Zettinger

rapid expansion of matter from a state of extremely high density and temperature that according to current cosmological theories marked the origin of the universe.

But, what we don’t seem to fully grasp is what started the Big Bang. It's a mystery. God?

Speaking of mystery, do you know that it was none other than Albert Einstein who said that the most beautiful thing in life is mystery? Mystery, he said, is the source of all true art and science. One day, Einstein received a letter from a man who asked him to write out his theory of relativity in such simple terms that he could then explain it to his grandchildren.

This is the answer Einstein gave: “Dear Sir, I am sorry I cannot comply with your request. Reason, no matter how simple, will never do. The Theory of Relativity cannot be reduced to simple terms. I hate to disappoint you, but if you will come to Princeton

some afternoon, I will try to play it for you on my violin.”

Yes, it was Einstein, who though he was an atheist, nevertheless said, “Science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind.”

Of course, as you probably know, for several hundred years modern science arrogantly believed that it would be able to answer all the questions that were ever asked. As a result, many scientists cast religion aside, as if it were nothing more than

rubbish for the weekly garbage pickup – one thinks, for example, of Richard Dawkins with sociobiology and Francis Crick with neuroscience.

But today, many scientists are less confident that everything can be explained, and that maybe Einstein was right, that religion needs science to stay relevant and up to date, while science needs religion to express awe and wonder about things that cannot be explained.

Among some scientists today there is a growing humility about the mystery of life and the mystery of the universe. Science, after all, cannot prove God anymore than it can prove atheism; but as I like to say “Science creates the feeling that there is more to the world than meets the eye.”

Even the late Stephen Hawking, the author of a best-selling book called A Brief History of Time, says this: “…The initial state

of the universe must have been very carefully chosen indeed if the hot big bang model was correct right back to the beginning of time. It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way except as an act of a God who intended to create beings like us.”

What an incredible claim that allows room for faith! Some people choose to believe that life is random chaos; we Christians choose to believe that life has a God-given purpose. Some may deny the existence of a creator; we Christians choose to believe that there is a God behind everything.

We Episcopalians can be proud that Anglican priest-scientists like John Polkinghorne, Ian Barbour, and Arthur Peacocke are bridging the gap between science and faith. In England, there is now a Society of Ordained Scientists – over 50 of them – including the former Archbishop of York John Habgood and the former Bishop of Chester Peter Forrester. What a remarkable step for the Christian Church! To move from skepticism about science and outright condemnation of scientists like Galileo to a place where theology and science can work hand-in-hand is a giant step. But it is a step that is wonderfully consistent with Anglicanism’s approach to faith.

We Episcopalians are part of a faith tradition that is open to change and new truth as God reveals it to us. We really do glory in the idea of trying to live with one foot in the Bible and the other in the modern scientific world.

Listen to the words of Dr. Fraser Watts, who is Professor of Theology and Natural Science at Cambridge University: “Religion bears on everything. Christians believe that the whole world is in God’s hands. Science and religion look at things from different points of view. Whatever you look at, they each have something to contribute.”

At the end of the film Inherit the Wind, Spencer Tracy who plays the Clarence Darrow character, holds the Bible in one hand and Darwin’s Origin of Species in the other. He weighs the two – and then joins them together – to make the point that faith and science do not conflict but complement one another.

We’ve come a long way in the church from a pre-scientific faith, to the place where faith and science can carry on a mutually productive conversation – for we must always remember that truth – however, and wherever discovered – is ultimately God’s truth, and therefore can never threaten our faith.

I once ended a lecture about this very same subject with these words. When we get to the end of time when the universe is

totally inflated or deflated and we look for God we will probably find both a Physicist and a Theologian standing next to God together saying: “ I told you we walked hand and hand together on this journey in time, there is no incompatibility between us, we are good friends.”

“For the saints of God are just folk like me, and I mean to be one too.”

Shepherds, artists, authors, doctors – the saints of God, past, and present can inspire us in our lives. This summer we will learn about a new saint each week – sometimes from long ago, some you’ve never heard of before, some familiar. Come hear the story of their life – how they were just a regular person like you and me, and did incredible things for God. We will add a new saint to our collection each week and by the end of the summer, decide how we will be saints for God’s kingdom, too. Craft projects, skits, and outdoor games will keep us engaged and having fun together!

During the summer, children in grades Pre K through 5th grade are invited to join Children's Chapel. Children sit with their family in church at the beginning of the 10:15 a.m. service and are called out to Children's Chapel. Children return to church with their families before communion.

There is no sign up for Children's Chapel, just come forward when called. All are welcome!
