    By Youth Director Heidi G

    On Trinity Sunday, Sarah B

    shared a mission minute.

    she said that the Diocesan

    sion Trip to Pine Ridge Ind

    Reservation changed her lif

    Hallelujah! Im here to say i

    changed mine, too.

    Missional work is transform

    tional because its the act o

    being sent forth, out from t

    walls of St. Martins and in tworld as a living, serving, sp

    ing and praying Christian. It

    where were stretched to l

    like Jesus and form new life

    giving relationships with the

    other. For me, meeting He

    was one such experience.

    Sharing stories from

    our companion diocese

    By The Rev. Susan Naylor

    It was my pleasure to help rep-

    resent the Diocese of Missouri

    at the annual gathering of

    AFRECS (The American Friends

    of the Episcopal Church in Su-

    dan) during the weekend of

    June 17-19 in Richmond, VA.

    This year we had more than

    100 participants, including two

    Sudanese Bishops, several for-

    mer Lost Boys and mission

    leaders from across the U.S.

    Debbie Smith, our companion

    relationship coordinator, was

    just off the plane returning from

    Sudan after attending Bishop

    Bullen Dollis funeral with her

    husband, Bishop Wayne Smith,

    a few days before.

    Inspiring generations

    of generosity

    By The Rev. Jon Hall

    I recently had the privilege of

    attending the TENS (The Episco-

    pal Network for Stewardship)

    Conference at Camp Allen in

    Navasota, TX. This was an ecu-

    menical gathering of clergy and

    lay leaders from all parts of the

    United States. The keynote

    speakers and workshop leaders

    shared from their rich faith lives

    and hope for the future. The

    workshops recognized the

    transformational quality of gen-

    erous lives and how we can help

    inspire the generations who will

    lead after us. I was blessed to be

    there and also to be reminded

    to pay attention to what God is

    doing as the Alpha and Omega.

    July Book Club

    By Ruby Downs

    St. Maritn's Book Club will

    meet on Tuesday, July 26,

    from 7 till 8:30 p.m. in Pack-

    wood Library to discuss The

    Immortal Life of Henrietta

    Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.

    Newcomers are always wel-

    come so pick up a copy of the

    book and come join the discus-

    sion.

    Starred Review from PublishersWeekly: Science journalist Skloot

    makes a remarkable debut with

    this multilayered story about faith,

    science, journalism, and grace. It is

    also a tale of medical wonders and

    medical arrogance, racism, poverty

    and the bond that grows, some-

    times painfully, between two very

    different womenSkloot and Deb-

    orah Lackssharing an obsession

    to learn about Deborah's mother,

    Henrietta, and her magical, immor-

    tal cells. Letting people and events

    speak for themselves, Skloot tells a

    rich, resonant tale of modern sci-

    ence, the wonders it can perform

    and how easily it can exploit soci-

    ety's most vulnerable people.

    Inspiring generations of generosity, continued from page 1

    P A G E 3S T M A R T I N S C H U R C H . O R G

    There were many testimonies about

    the power of Gods love for Gods

    creation. The approach of the pre-

    senters was strength-based and fo-cused on Gods love for each of us.

    I thought about our con-

    gregation, with its many

    voices, and how this

    church continues to open

    itself to God. Worship,

    prayer, Bible study, fellow-

    ship, mission and outreach

    are just a few ways that wepay attention to praising

    God with our thoughts and actions.

    The apostle Paul wrote to the church

    in Philippi, because of your sharing

    in the gospel from the first day until

    now. I am confident of this, that the

    one who began a good work among

    you will bring it to completion by the

    day of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:5-6,

    NRSV) It seems Gods job is to bring

    us to completion by continually mak-

    ing a new creation in each one of us.

    While I was in the closing session, the

    thought occurred to me that steward-

    ship is similar to something that hap-

    pened on our drive to Camp Allen:

    One day we came to a place

    where the turn was not clear. We

    asked for directions and were told

    to go down the road and to turnat a certain landmark near the

    highway.

    When we got

    to that place

    in the road

    we could not

    see the land-

    mark that

    they had re-

    ferred to

    earlier. We then asked another

    person where the landmark was

    to which they responded that it

    wasnt there anymore. They told

    us about a new landmark that we

    could physically see and so we

    turned and found our way to the

    camp.

    The work of faithful stewards in

    the Church is about passing on

    landmarks for faith journeys. The

    landmarks we leave will most likely

    serve those who come after us

    more than ourselves. My family

    was in a new place and yet many,

    many others had traveled before

    Contact The Rev. Jon Hall at

    [email protected]

    us. We just needed the landmarks to

    know where to turn to find our desti-

    nation.

    There will be more children, youth

    and adults who will be looking to St.

    Martins for faithful markers in Gods

    way. We are the ones who disciple

    the next group of leaders through our

    resources of time, talent and treasure

    that we are privileged to utilize. There

    is no such thing as Christian osmosis.

    We are all charged to learn, to some

    degree, about the landmarks that gotus here and to invite new landmarks

    to be presented for the good of the

    spiritual sojourners after us. You and I

    are part of that humbling gift. It is in

    the wonderful charge and commis-

    sioning by God through our baptism

    that others are empowered to find

    Gods way of completion. Every act of

    worship, teaching, and outreach are

    vital contributions towards this pur-

    pose. Each offering is multiplied by

    God.

    Blessings, Jon

    "For every thing there is a season and a time

    for every purpose under heaven." ( Ecclesias-tes 3:1)

    And so it is with the Stephen Ministry program.

    We have been an active ministry at St. Martin's

    for 23 years, serving 227 care receivers, one per-

    son at a time by request.

    When the program began, our Rector and Asso-

    ciate Rector did the bulk of the pastoral care.

    This was a very important, but time-consuming

    part of their ministry. Today, St. Martin's is grow-

    ing quickly, on the way to becoming a program-

    size parish but still with only a Rector and a part-

    time Deacon. That means we will now be ex-

    panding the team of trained laypersons to offer

    additional pastoral counseling to help serve more

    parishioners.

    During Lent, the Stephen Leaders felt God's

    presence and guidance leading us to believe God

    is making "a new thing" at St. Martin's. It wastime to let go of the original Stephen Ministry

    program concept to allow for new ideas to take

    root. After several meetings among current

    Stephen's Ministers, Father Jon & Deacon Susan,

    we began to discern where God is leading us

    next.

    By looking at a list of parishioner needs, we be-

    gan to see where we could start building a new

    approach with our Pastoral Team ministry. We

    identified some areas to begin focusing our ef-

    forts: visiting hospitals, nursing homes, forming a

    bereavement-counseling team plus increasing the

    number of Eucharistic Visitors. We will have a

    training session for anyone interested on

    Wednesday, June 29 from 9 till 10:30 a.m.

    This is an exciting time! Do you feel it?

    God's calling you to pastoral ministry. Join us!

    Sharing stories, continued from page 1Debbie and I led a break-out session on

    companion relationships, with about half

    of the attendees opting for our session. It

    was a lively discussion, triggered by video

    clips of several of our missioners covering

    a wide range of topics, including the diffi-

    culties of building and maintaining a real

    relationship with people so far away. We

    in turn were able to attend other work-

    shops on Peace Making, Political Advocacy,

    Please join us on Sunday, July 17 at 9 a.m. in Park Hall

    for a presentation and forum on mission

    in youth ministries.

    Hear what our teens have to say first-hand

    about both the trip to Pine Ridge

    and the mini-mission trip.

    Henry & Me, continued from page 1A small wind turbine marked the

    entrance to his compound, a

    patchwork of trailers, campers, a

    teepee and gardens that contain

    his livelihood and his family.

    Henry is a gentle yet strong single

    father of five. He runs the Red

    Cloud Renewable Energy Center

    where he builds simple solar

    heating systems and then trains

    young men on the reservation to

    install them. He is immensely

    proud of his work. It makes a

    huge difference in providing heatduring the below-zero winters in

    trailers that might lack insulation,

    electricity and even running wa-

    ter. The day we met, he was pre-

    paring to deliver 10 units to the

    Cheyenne reservation in Wyo-

    ming. After loading his van to an

    improbably full level, he invited us

    to eat lunch in the upstairs of his

    Quonset work hut. We then

    gathered for council in his teepee,

    where he asked us to share

    something about our experience

    on the reservation. He was so

    Ministries Heidi Gioia at

    attentive to each teen; no comment

    was too trivial. We spent the after-

    noon gardening and feeding his

    chickens. He and I shared our love

    of wildlife, as we discovered wild

    roses and rhubarb growing in the

    midst of his isolated valley.

    My life is enriched by meeting

    Henry. He demonstrated a grace of

    being and a generosity of spirit. His

    patience with our green teen farm-

    ers was instructive for me as a

    youth worker. Daily Im reminded,

    Mitakuye oyasin A Lakota

    prayer saying that we are all related

    and connected to creation.

    And the work goes on: a group of

    seven teens enjoyed a jam-packed

    weekend introduction to mission in

    Shannon County, Missouri at the

    end of June. My hope is that they,

    too, returned open to being trans-

    formed.

    (accidental death & dismemberment) insur-

    ance policy. Among our other long-term

    intentions of remembering the Church, it

    was a no-brainer for us right now, to desig-nate St. Martins Episcopal Church as bene-

    ficiary for that insurance policy. Note: al-

    though we have no intention of dying young,

    much less accidentally, in such unlikely event

    the policy would provide a

    nice contribution to the

    Legacy fund.

    It also occurred to us that

    Term Life insurance poli-

    cies (those that provide a

    benefit only up to age 65

    or 70) are also available at

    very low cost and may

    provide another way to remember St. Mar-

    tinseven if you have little else to bequeath

    right now. Even if you need to commit what-

    ever personal assets you have to help family,

    friends, favorite charities, etc., there is still a

    way to support the ongoing ministries at St.

    Martins without cutting into those needs.

    My research shows that a typical $25,000

    term life policy may be obtained for as little

    as $10/month for a healthy 30-40 year old!

    Not exactly sacrificial giving. It may

    (hopefully) never be needed, but at least it

    would establish a significant potential gift in

    support of St. Martins Legacy (see Note

    above).Just food for thought. We are hoping more

    folks will think hard about supporting this

    important fund and maybe come up with

    other creative ways to give whether large

    or small, nothing is insignificant.

    By Steve & Leanne Lyle

    The new Legacy fund is intended to preserve

    the key ministries of our beloved St. Martin's

    parish for the foreseeable future. We need to

    make a serious effort to build it up in support

    of that goal.

    We, like most of you, first needed to ask our-

    selves some tough questions:

    - How can we find a way

    to give? CAN we give

    anything at all right now?

    - The kids always seem

    to need financial support

    or money for school.

    - The job market is 'iffy'

    at best. Could we make it

    on one income if we have

    to?

    - My car is sounding like it will soon be need-

    ing work. The house, too. (Is that a water

    stain on the ceiling? How long can we limp

    along with that noisy dishwasher?)

    - We are already pledging what we can, how

    can we find any more to give?

    Thanks to Larry Robertson's wonderful infor-

    mative presentation on estate planning (part 1

    of a series on Legacy giving), we had already

    decided on the 'why' and 'when' we needed

    to make a plan. Having already done our

    duty as Larry suggested and set up a will and

    an estate plan, the next obvious thing was to

    support the Legacy fund. We were casting

    about for the 'how' to get started with Legacy

    -giving and found a unique short-term solu-

    tion for our family.

    We found that memberships in certain or-

    ganizations (AAA, AOPA, other professional

    groups and clubs, etc.) sometimes include

    member benefits such as: a no-cost AD&D

    Rebuilding our church in Haiti

    By Jeanne King

    On Tuesday, January 12, 2010, a 7.0

    magnitude earthquake shook Haiti.

    The earthquake leveled the most

    populous diocese of the Episcopal

    Church. Diocesan-run schools, clinics

    and hospitals that served more than

    100,000 Episcopalians, as well as

    countless others in the community,

    were wiped out in 35 seconds.

    Many of the services

    we (in the USA)

    expect from the

    government

    healthcare, educa-

    tion and culture

    are provided in

    Haiti by the Episco-

    pal Church. In the

    heart of the capital

    city of Port-au-

    Prince stood the Episcopal Cathedral,

    Holy Trinity.

    The cathedral was the center of eve-

    rything and in 35 seconds it was re-

    duced to rubble.

    In the aftermath of the earthquake,

    the Clinton - Bush Foundation, the

    United Nations and other interna-

    tional government agencies have been

    filling many of the needs of the people.

    But there is one thing no one else can

    rebuild for the Episcopal Church: Holy

    Trinity Cathedral.

    Bishop Jean Duracin of Haiti has asked

    for our help. Presiding BishopKatharine Jefferts Schori has asked the

    dioceses to help. The ECW of the

    Diocese of Missouri has responded to

    Bishop Wayne Smiths challenge to

    participate in this church-wide effort.

    The Diocese of Missouri ECW Vice-

    President Cheryl Ward will chair the

    campaign, which will begin August 1

    and conclude October 21, during

    the ECW s annual

    meeting. At the

    diocesan conven-

    tion in November,

    the ECW plans to

    make a special pres-

    entation to Presid-

    ing Bishop

    Katharine, who will

    be attending the

    convention.

    This is a time of many needsa dev-

    astating tornado in Joplin, floods in

    Poplar Bluff and southeast Missouri,

    lack of some basic needs within our

    own community. In 2010, Presiding

    Bishop Katharine predicted that we

    would need a steely will to remem-

    ber our pledge to the church in Haiti.

    The TV cameras are gone from Haiti

    and we have experienced many other

    crises, but this fall in Missouri, we are

    going to help rebuild our church in

    Haiti. Be on the lookout for the Re-

    build our Church in Haiticampaign.

    Think about how YOU can help.

    Stewardship spotlight

    Scripture tells us that blessings shared, multiply and multiply and multiply.

    If you have a story youd like to share, please contact a member of our Stewardship Committee:

    Jeff & Jane Klieve (co-chairs), Murrell Cunningham, Mary Drastal, Carole Gerretsen, Janis Greenbaum.

    Christian stewardship is the grateful and responsible use of God's gifts

    in the light of God's purpose as revealed in Jesus Christ.

    Christian stewards, empowered by the Holy Spirit,

    commit themselves to conscious, purposeful decisions.

    By Jeff Klieve

    Go in peace to love and

    serve the Lord. With these

    words we depart from

    church on Sunday morning

    and continue on with our

    busy lives head to the

    kids soccer game, go out for

    lunch, or finally get the lawn

    cut. However, the Eucharis-

    tic Visitors leave and give

    their time and talent to actu-

    ally serve the Lord by serv-

    ing Christs body and blood

    to those who are unable to

    come to church. Leslie

    Pattengill became a Eucharis-

    tic Visitor because of a

    Lenten Study in 2006 where

    the topic was Discerning

    Spiritual Gifts. I found the

    workshops to be illuminating

    and through this study I

    found the lay ministry of be-

    ing a Eucharistic Visitor,

    says Leslie. Mary K Heyde is

    a Eucharistic Visitor becauseit gives those who cannot be

    with us on Sunday morning

    the opportunity to partici-

    pate in our parish life. In ad-

    dition she says, It allows the

    visitors to establish relation-

    ships with some we might

    not otherwise mingle with.

    Sometimes deep friendships

    are born. There are some

    amazing people who cannot

    always make it to church.

    As is often the case when we

    give of our time, talent, or

    treasure, Eucharistic Visitors

    have been rewarded with

    memorable experiences.

    Nancy Young finds a smile

    on their face that is price-

    less when she makes visits.

    I have been blessed to have

    been a part of it in some

    small way. They have given

    me a gift. Mary Richardson

    and Leslie Pattengill both

    remember visits to Lillian

    Gibson, a past resident at

    Brooking Park. Mary saysher fondest memories are of

    taking the altar flowers to

    Lillian and how much they

    meant to her. She was blind

    and very sensitive to the fra-

    grance. We developed a friend-

    ship and looked forward to

    weekly visits.

    There is an evangelistic aspect

    of being a Eucharistic Visitor.

    Sometimes you will visit a

    member of our parish and a

    roommate may be trying to be

    fairly invisible until invited to

    join if they so choose., says

    Mary K. That makes me feel

    like we have really done our

    job and brought Jesus to some-

    one who might feel left out of

    the worship experience.

    Thanks to our Eucharistic Visi-

    tors who give freely of their

    time and talent in this way:

    Rebecca Barger, Phyllis Duff,

    Ray Harbert, Diana

    Hauser, Mary K Heyde, Leslie

    Pattengill, Mary Richardson,

    and Nancy Young.
