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

rently handled by Tom Warrington, who has been

will require 10-12 hours each week,

including some Sundays.

Stephen Ministers: Focusing on the process of caring

October book club features story of a pioneer woman

By Dick Durley

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

various situations as they arise. Eventually

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


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!

which to be grateful.

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


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-

By Mary Richardson

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:

Elin Cogan-Adewunmi
