From the Rector

Behold the Vesper Light

Dear Brothers and Sisters-

The last two weeks in August I had the grace-filled opportunity torest relax and reflect up at the St Francis Chapel in Fallen LeafLake I spent much of the time hiking napping and just enjoying thebeauty of Gods creation Often I would sit out on the porch of thecabin at night and just gaze up at the beautiful array of the heavens

Other nights I would take a quiet stroll past the lake (which is where I was able to capture thisbeautiful image)

Spending time in the midst of such beauty I was able to spend time thinking about how muchGod has provided for us and also the sacred task that all of us have to care for the blessingswith which we have been provided I began to think of the beauty that surrounds all of us in thisWestPark neighborhood of Roseville and the many opportunities we have to serve ourneighbors and residents of the surrounding community

Almost ten years ago when we began constructing our new church home we were planted inand surrounded by vacant fields We now worship in the midst of a thriving community thatcontinues to grow The opportunities for us to serve this community abound but the first stepbefore we decide what next to do is to take the time to simply observe listen ponder anddiscern what the needs of the community are and how God has provided us with the resourcesto serve those needs

In our evening prayer we offer that as our eyes behold the vesper light we sing your praises OGod Father Son and Holy Spirit When we take the time to see the beauty of the world aroundus we are able to not only experience but also share the transforming love of Jesus ChristWhen we encounter such beauty our hearts are changed As we love as we create space forothers to grow and flourish we sing Gods praises and we live as God intends for us to live

I hope that in the coming months all of us will take the time to simply observe and listen to thosein our neighborhood Take the time to walk through and enjoy the park across the street andthe park located behind the church Take the time to dream how we might serve all those wholive around us Engage our neighbors in conversation Listen to them Listen deeply Listen forGods voice speaking to us through them

God has blessed our community of faith for a purpose Together let us discern and then let uslove

In Faith Hope and LoveFr Cliff

Deacons Dialogue-September 2019

CHANGE

Summer is almost over and just as the seasons are changing life too is everchanging Each day we grow in our life experiences(change) and Godsmission for us continues to grow and evolve (more change) Change is agood thing Here are a few quotes that I feel adequately describe change forme

The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking It cannot bechanged without changing our thinking -Albert Einstein

I cannot say whether things will get better if we change what I can say is they must change ifthey are to get better -Georg C Lichtenberg

I alone cannot change the world but I can cast a stone across the waters to create manyripples -Mother Teresa

In these last days of summer my mind is moving more and more toward the opportunitiesahead of me in the mission field at St Matthews Center the ways in which this will inform all ofus of Gods desire for our lives and the changes challenges and opportunities which we willencounter along the way You have helped me grow in my ministry as a deacon and theministry we have done together will help me serve the people of St Matthews and theirsurrounding community I hope to continue to lead of all of us out into the world With your loveand support I am confident that I will be able to serve all whom I encounter with love humilityand grace I do this firm in my faith that while the world is rapidly changing all around me onething remains constant Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever Hebrews138

My prayer for all of us in the days ahead is that God may guide us to continue to change ourthinking Remembering that as we embrace new change and work together in love to createmany ripples of love we do so in the assurance that Jesus Christ is guiding our every step aswe follow the movement of the Holy Spirit on this incredible and ever changing journey

Faithfully yours in ChristDeacon Babs

Senior Warden Article

The vestry requested that I focus my comments this month on GenerationalStewardship the theme of the spiritual segment of our agenda in our Augustmeeting Generational Stewardship requires sensitivity to all ages and stagesof life providing appropriate information leadership care and support asrequired by the many generations represented in our congregation

Generational Stewardship also encompasses the idea of the Body of Christ in all its livingsystems and functionality as well as the concept of being a vessel for the Holy Spirit as Godworks in our area We are one with the congregation in the present past and future and weshould consider our actions in that light Our mission statement To experience and share the transforming love of Jesus Christ is

as vital today as it was when it was created many years ago Sharing with the past presentand future is critical to being effective in our desire to reach out to those who surround us in ourneighborhood It is in fact one of the reasons Fr Cliff decided on accepting our call for him tobe our Pastor This mission statement has been developing over 100 years of history at St Johns and is theresult of accumulated experience knowledge and faith among many generations during thatcentury As the vestry reviews the history of St Johns we have noted that the missionstatement even before it was written down described the individual growth change andblossoming of faith in this congregational reach of faith towards God As we move forward in congregation it is our hope that we can better enable diverse opinionsand inclusiveness of all input which is already apparent in decisions our congregation hasmade in the past The emphasis that Fr Cliff places on creating space for others to grow isdirectly linked to this concept in fact the issues we face today are not unlike the significantissues faced by St Johns and the Episcopal Church in the past women in the priesthoodinclusiveness of the other in our congregations accepting the role of guardian of the earthand loving our neighbors as ourselves (social justice and its implications) If it is not aboutlove it is not about God as Bishop Curry so beautifully stated May our congregational work and efforts be as effective and important to the future as the workand efforts of our congregants in past generations have been to us
