THE CHURCH TOWER The Second Presbyterian Church of Baltimore

Connecting Christ & Community Newsletter of the Second Presbyterian Church of Baltimore · Volume 60 · Number 5 · June 2013

W ithout any concrete data to support it, my

hunch is that the frequency of preaching on

the Ten Commandments is in inverse proportion to

the degree of cultural interest in them.

That is, the Commandments are sometimes used to

stake claims of political and cultural landscapes, but

when that is so, they are less often the focal point of

concerted sermon proclamation or widely visible in

church liturgy.

Plenty of good questions can be asked about the use

of the Ten Commandments: how well do we know

them, how much do we pay attention to them, how is

it that we understand them and seek to use

them as guides in our lives.

Are the Ten Commandments just a set of

rules or are they a way of life? How does

each one call us to reflect on our life and

values? What does it mean to love God and

our neighbor in a world where violence,

greed, and fear threaten our lives, our

values, our hearts?

The Benedictine nun, author and speaker

Joan Chittister answers these and other

questions in our Summer Sermon Series

book for 2013: “The Ten Commandments: Laws of

the Heart.”

Each chapter of this very readable and engaging book

focuses on what one of the commandments means for

us today. The final two chapters shed light on the two

Great Commandments, "Love God with all your

heart, and your neighbor as yourself.”

Some words from the Introduction help set the tone:

"The Ten Commandments are laws of the heart, not

laws of the commonwealth. They are laws that last,

that lead us to fullness of life–beyond the culture,

SESSION HIGHLIGHTS Stated Session Meeting –April 16, 2013

Moderator Rev. Dr. Thomas W. Blair opened the Stated Session meeting

at which all elders were present. Elder Barb Newbauer led the opening

worship that was based on the second chapter of Spiritual Leadership for

Church Officers. Ms. Newbauer opened with a prayer. Chapter 2 cites a few

interesting passages for those who are serving as church leaders:

I have been granted the leadership that Jesus Christ provided, whether

we want it or not.

We can do as much or as little with it as we want.

Let’s hope that love is involved.

Several elders agreed that we, as elders, have authority, but Jesus is the

ultimate leader. Elders collectively agreed that good leaders uphold the

following qualities:

Listener

Patience

Know oneself (like Jesus did)

Selflessness

Ability to Listen

Session approved that $500 of the youth scholarship fund be shared

evenly between youth participants Andrea Hughes and Anna Hughes, who

are not related to each other, each receiving $250. Sarah.Slingluff asked the

Session for additional nominations, specifying that high school seniors are

eligible. There were none.

Ms. Slingluff mentioned that the March game night to which parents of

youth were also invited to share their thoughts and expectations of the Youth

Council was very productive. Activities are being planned for 2014. Youth

group attendance for those in grades 5 though7 is being sought. Questions

such as how frequently youth want to meet for activities were discussed.

Sunday school attendance among youth is quite good. An end-of-the-year

party for youth will be taking place in May on a date to be later determined

and the summer mission trip to Mount Hope, West Virginia to help build

and repair homes will be taking place July 14-20, 2013.

Session also approved that $13,000 of the $30,000 remaining in the

Capital Campaign for special mission projects be allocated to the fourth

Impact Outreach project to fund public schools and uniforms for students in

Haiti (public schooling in Haiti is not free) and $17,000 to CASA (Court

Appointed Special Advocates) of Baltimore County.

Rev. Blair and the Elders closed with individual prayers of thanks and

intercession by those present and with the Lord’s Prayer.

On May 5, a Special Session Meeting of the Session was convened in the

Manse. It was called to order by Rev. Dr. Thomas Blair to receive new

members into the congregation. The new members were welcomed and

introduced to the congregation at the 11:00 AM worship service.

The new members are Steve Skeen and Lauren Walker, who will soon be

getting married at Second Presbyterian. The Elders welcomed the new

members.

June Sermons

Contemplating the Lord’s Prayer: A Brief Sermon Series

O ver three Sundays in late May and early June, we will have sermons

on the prayer Jesus taught us to pray…

Here is a brief, helpful guide to the Lord’s Prayer. This may be helpful

for you to take a little time to read through, contemplate and consider

these questions—and your answers as an exercise of awareness of living

in God’s love.

• Our Father who art in heaven. . . When was I aware of being Your

beloved son or daughter today? Of being brother or sister to Your

children?

• Hallowed be your name . . . What choices did I make today that

gave praise to Your holy name?

• Your kingdom come. . . Where were You, Risen Lord, present and

active in me and in others today?

• Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. . . Was I was moved

to act by You and your Holy Spirit or by the Evil One?

• Give us this day our daily bread . . . Thank you for my life, my

person and for this day, for the people and events that made it the day

it was.

• And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. . . If I feel a

lack of Your peace, I am sorry and ask your forgiveness for the past

and new faith in You and in Your values.

• And lead us from temptation. . .What do I need to give up or stay

away from in order to come closer to You?

• But deliver us from evil. . . Gift me with the favor of Your presence

and support, Your guidance and protection in the events and meeting

with people I anticipate tomorrow.

The Rev. William W. Nickels, Baltimore

Presbytery's Associate General Presbyter, will be

our guest minister on June 30. Bill, a native

Virginian, graduated from Franklin and Marshall

College and Yale Divinity School. He was

ordained in 1980, and he has served six

congregations – four as an Intentional Interim

Pastor. In his current role, Bill is responsible for

helping the Presbytery develop thriving,

reconciling congregations. He also works with

churches that are moving through pastoral

transitions. Bill is married to Ann, a

communications professional with MedStar, and

they are parents of two grown sons.

above the culture, and more enduring than the culture.

All the Sinai Tablets on the walls of all the

courtrooms in the land will not assure us of justice if

we do not have hearts already shaped by what the

sculptures signify. All the prayers and prayer

meetings in the world which we hold in public

schools in a pluralistic society will not make us

people of the Law unless the law first lives in our

hearts. And if it does, displays will not much matter.

We ourselves will be their sign." – [A noted and very

popular author and lecturer, Sister Joan D. Chittister,

O.S.B. is a member of the Benedictine Sisters of Erie,

Pennsylvania, where she served as prioress for 12

years.]

(Ten Commandments—continued from page 1)

“Live, Act, Grow: Words to Live By”: A few words from our Associate Pastor, Rev. Jenn

DiFrancesco, about our summer worship series

C an you rattle them off? Most can't name all ten of the Ten

Commandments. And most think of these "10 words" as a list of "don'ts".

What would happen if we studied them not as a list of prohibitions, but as words that

encourage us to live, act, and grow in our faith? This summer, we invite you to join

us each Sunday for a new and fresh look at each one of the commandments.

As Tom indicated in his lead article, the summer worship team and summer preachers

are using "The Ten Commandments: Laws of the Heart" by Joan Chittister as their

reference point for the weekly worship.

Following worship this summer, we encourage you to

stay for a time of fellowship outside the chapel. The

Deacons will provide refreshments for our enjoyment.

The Anawim* Imperative From Thom Kuhl for the Sunday morning Adult Seminar group, May 2013.

Often, in busy, harried lives, we are unable to stop. . . anything.

Stop worrying, stop hurrying, stop crying, stop hurting,

But the thing we most need, sometimes is to stop, and think. . .

and question, WHY?

Not for the momentary satisfaction of an answer,

the perfunctory explanation, a shallow selfish reason.

Rather, we are drawn to the why of others.

Why the pain of others which strangles the beauty of the sunrise

and dilutes the colors of the day’s anticipation;

Why the ache of loneliness that imprisons one in solitude,

unwanted, unappreciated, unimaginable, unforgiveable;

why the sorrow of loss,

so deep, so intense, so great, so grievous, so grotesque

in its constant clawing at the soul, or spirit, or psyche,

or whatever it is that is being shredded apart.

The why of others begs remedy, requires attention,

demands response, not out of a wish for accomplishment

or healing or recognition, but a need for completion.

Wholeness, what makes us total, makes us one.

And so we reach out.

We must touch with the Master’s hand.

We must see with the Master’s eyes.

Speak with the Master’s voice.

We must answer the call to bring His love to all.

*Fr. Raymond Brown provides a useful explanation of the term Anawim: "The word Anawim represents a

plural from the Hebrew anaw which, along with its cognate ani is a word for 'poor, humble, afflicted.'

"Although this title ["Anawim"] meaning the 'Poor Ones' may have originally designated the physically poor

(and frequently still included them), it came to refer more widely to those who could not trust in their own

strength but had to rely in utter confidence upon God: the lowly, the poor, the sick, the downtrodden, the

widows and the orphans. The opposite of the Anawim were not simply the rich, but the proud and self-

sufficient who showed no need of God or His help.

Second Church Small Groups

Tuesdays at Ten What do you do when feelings of unhappiness overwhelm you?

The most common response is to search for something better. In

June, as we continue the video Bible study, “Chronicles of

Promise – The Legacies of Israel’s Three Kings,” we will

examine the ancient Israelites’ struggle with discontentment—

their request to God for a king. Please join us as we journey to

explore the lands where kings Saul, David, and Solomon once

ruled and gain insights into the leadership they provided and the

legacies they left behind. You will enjoy viewing vivid videos,

participating in deliberating discussions, and becoming a part of

the cordial Christian fellowship always present whenever we

meet. All sessions are held on Tuesdays, begin at 10 a.m. and

last for about one and one-half hours at the church in Meeting

Room E. (Please use the glass door entrance by the Chapel on

Stratford Rd.) For more information, please contact Gene Haupt,

410-366-7599 or [email protected].

Helping Hands First Thursdays, June 6, 9 a.m.

Many hands make light work and more fun! Our Daily Bread

needs the casseroles of hunter’s stew for 200 that we make in the

church kitchen each month. Please join us about 9:00 until 11:00

Tapas, Talk & Theology Fridays, June 7 & June 21, 7 p.m.

The Tapas, Talk and Theology study group continues its study of

The Screwtape Letters, a novel written by C. S. Lewis, in which the

main “characters/demons” live in a peculiarly morally reversed

world, where individual benefit and greed are seen as the greatest

good, and neither demon is capable of comprehending God's love

for man or acknowledging true human virtue when he sees it. This

book provides a series of lessons in the importance of taking a

deliberate role in living out Christian faith by portraying a typical

human life, with all its temptations and failings, as seen from devils'

viewpoints.

The study begins with a light supper followed by discussion. The

June 7th meeting will be at the home of Carol Clark, 113 Croydon

Road in Homeland, and the final meeting for the summer on June 21

will take place at the home of Nancy and Bob Flower, 11 Dellwood

Street in Hunt Valley. Anyone interested in this study course is

encouraged to attend and can contact Becky Ferrell at

[email protected] for more information.

Wednesday Fellowship, June 12

Medicare: Questions, Discussions & Insights

John Basmajian, who has spent years studying and dealing with

Medicare as an insurance agent as well as a “client” himself, will

lead us in an informal conversation about Medicare-what it will and

won’t do and what we might expect of it in the coming years. No

one has all the answers, but John has an engaging and reassuring

way of sharing his insights and experience. His specialty has been in

helping people find supplemental Medicare plans, so we might get

some insights here on how to choose a plan. No selling will take

place-just informed conversation.

Please join us at noon on Wednesday June 12 in Smith Hall.

Bring a sandwich for our fellowship luncheon; dessert and

beverages will be supplied. Our program will follow lunch.

Questions? Call Joyce Zimmerman 410-467-4210.

Prayer Shawl Ministry Wednesday, June 26, 7:30 p.m.

Calling knitters and crocheters (or those who ever wanted to learn)

to join Second Presbyterian’s prayer shawl ministry group. The

patterns are simple. Completed shawls are blessed at a church

service and given to fellow members in need of care or comfort. The

June meeting will take place in Nancy Flower's home, 11 Dellwood

St., Hunt Valley 21030. Let Nancy know if you would like to attend

at [email protected].

Good News Column

Taking a cue from the NBC Nightly News segment “Making a Difference,” the

Congregational Life Council endeavors to highlight the “Good News” within our

congregation.

Bright Spots We have many congratulations to share this spring:

Congratulations are in order for Gail and Bernie Levy on the marriage of their

daughter. Reverend Jenn married Alice Levy and Todd Burns on April 13,

2013. They were joined by their parents, Gail and Bernie, and Debbie and Mike

Burns, as well as families and friends. Both Todd and Alice were baptized in the

Presbyterian Church and loved working with Reverend Jenn to put together the

ceremony. They are now residing in Alexandria Virginia, where both work as

consultants for the federal government.

Also congratulations to Cindy and Len Levering on the marriage of their

daughter. Sara Levering and Vicente Roa were married on May 4, 2013 at the

Oaks Waterfront Inn in St. Michael's, MD by the Rev. Dr. Tom Blair. Several of

Vicente's cousins from Spain were even able to make the trip to join in the

celebration! Sara works in public relations and Vicente works for a construction

company. They met in Bethesda 4 1/2 years ago and are living in Potomac, MD.

And congratulations to Chuck Harlan who was recently inducted into the Friends

School of Baltimore’s Athletic Hall of Fame for his achievements on the lacrosse

field. The Hall of Fame recognizes outstanding individual athletes, teams and

coaches who have exemplified the School’s tradition of extraordinary

sportsmanship and meritorious service to the athletic program. Chuck is a 1963

graduate of Friends School.

Finally, we celebrate with Rev. Jenn DiFrancesco, husband JT Paulk and

daughters Maggie and Ellie on the baptism of their son and brother, Andrew

Joseph Paulk, on May 19, 2013. Joyce Zimmerman and Leslie Owsley presented

baby Andrew, or “Little Dude” as he is familiarly called by his family, for baptism.

The emotion was palpable on the faces of both parents as Rev. Jenn solemnly asked

Maggie and Ellie if they would share the love of Jesus with their brother, and then

proceeded to baptize him.

Making a Difference If you have been enjoying coffee in the Westcott Room of late, special thanks go to

Alix Rodman and Deborah Slingluff for researching and donating our two new

coffee urns. Lately, the congregation has been consuming up to 100 cups of coffee.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If something has put a smile on your face, please call the church office at

410.467.4210 so that we can share your “Good News” with our Second Family.
