Pastors Corner

When the days drew near for

Jesus to be taken up, he set his face to

go to Jerusalem. And he sent messen-gers ahead of himAs they were going

along the road, someone said to him, I

will follow you where you go.To

another Jesus said, Follow me.

Luke 9:51-52a, 57, 59a (Proper 8 for

June 30)

Even as Jesus sets his face toward Jerusalem and his

death, he gathers followers. Some people invite themselves; some

are invited by Jesus. It would be easy if Jesus were just offering tobe our traveling companion, a presence with us as we journey

through life. But Jesus expects us to let him lead. Jesus expects us

to turn our will and our lives over to him. Jesus expects us to fol-

low his example of compassion toward all and service to those in

need. Its simple. But its not easy.

Being a Christian is not easy and never was. Following Je-

sus requires knowing about him. It involves prayer, Scripture

study, worship, service. Being a Christian is much more than going

to church on Sunday, although thats certainly a great place to start.

When Bishop Smith visits St. Francis on June 23, eight

people will affirm their faith through confirmation, reception, and

reaffirmation. They will say yes to continuing to let Jesus lead

them. We arepracticingChristians because theres no such thing

as a perfected Christian. We practice following Jesus all our lives.

Jesus never stops leading us. Let us pray for the fortitude to always

keep following. -- Pastor Sally

St. Francis Tutoring Program

by Jackie Selle

Drop into the St. Francis parish house on a

Wednesday night during the school year, and youmay have trouble finding a place to sit. Severalparishioners have been donating their time andtalent to the St. Francis Community Tutoring Pro-gram, which is a free service available to all areastudents in grades K-12. After a slow start in thefall of 2011, the program has recently becomevery popular among area students, and a total ofnine students in three area school districts utilizedthe free services of our tutors in the last twomonths of the 2012-2013 school year. St. Francis

tutors donated approximately sixty hours of one-on-one assistance with most students returning formultiple sessions and several already requesting

help this fall.

Our tutors have provided assistance with subjectsranging from elementary and middle school mathand reading to algebra, geometry, French, andchemistry. Two of the high school students utiliz-ing our tutoring services have indicated that thehelp from our parishioners was instrumental in

their success at the end of the year and on finalexams.

If you are interested in being a part of this grow-ing ministry, please fill out a volunteer formavailable from Jackie Selle in July. A short tutor-ing workshop will take place in late July or earlyAugust. If you are not comfortable tutoring stu-dents, donations of snacks and drinks for ourguests are always welcome. Come be a part of

this unique and much-needed community service!

Scissors, a student in the Parkway School District,

tutoring sessions.

St. Francis Episcopal Church Bishops Committee

Minutes

May 12, 2013

Members Present: Pastor Sally Weaver; Senior Warden Sue Schmidt; Treasurer Suzanne Jones; Michael Booker;Bob Champlin; Jim Bowlin; Jack Lauless, Richard Mayfield; Paddy Wrob; Jackie Selle, Clerk.

Opening business

The piano appraisal came in lower than expected at $300 to $400. Lori visited Midwest Music and investigatedsome of the options for an organ. An organ is available that will fit in our space here for approximately $4500.This includes removal of the existing organ and piano. Judy Cody moved that we proceed with arranging thepurchase of a new organ with a budget of $5000. Michael Booker seconded the motion. The motion passedunanimously.

Treasurers report

Reports will follow when Beth learns the software.Vicars report

Beth Koch is the new parish administrator. She is learning quickly and will soon be able to produce financial reports.

The new chairs have been purchased and are in the sanctuary.

Sally will be out this week on vacation.

We can sponsor an intern from Deaconess Anne House in August. Our only obligation is to provide a welcome bas-ket and to include the intern in our parish activities.

Arlene Underwood has expressed her desire to pass the Hospitality ministry to someone else. Carly and Bob Cham-plin will take over this ministry.

Sue Schmidt moved and Rich Mayfield moved that the minutes from the April meeting be approved. The motion

passed unanimously.

Additional Business

Kevin Broom returned to continue our discussion about how we want to measure our growth as a congregation. Weare currently below the Missouri and national average with the amount of annual pledging. Kevin led the discus-sion concerning what to use as a benchmark for measuring our contributions. Suggested benchmarks for thegoals of giving would to be to reach the Missouri average of giving by 2017 with an intermediate goal of reachingthe national average by 2015. Suzanne will be responsible for reviewing records to gather pertinent informationfor an internal analysis as a first step toward reaching these goals. Kevin brought up the idea of how we mightmeasure volunteering and whether or not there is meritin doing so. The consensus was that rather than estab-lish an external benchmark perhaps we should gatherdata about what we do currently so we can determinewhat we need to do to progress.

Closing business

Temperature check.

Closing prayer offered by Michael Booker.

Next meeting: June 16Our new organ is in place.

Correction: Dial 911

We printed an article in the May Chalice that cir-

Police. Weve since discovered that this information

is incorrect. If you have any kind of emergency that

requires Police assistance, dial 911.

A Nations Strength

Not gold but only men can make

A people great and strong;

Men who for truth and honors sake

Stand fast and suffer long.

Brave men who work while others sleep,

Who dare while others fly

They build a nations pillars deep

And lift them to the sky.

Only a dad, but he gives his all

To smooth the way for his children small,

Doing, with courage stern and grim,

The deeds that his father did for him.

This is the line that for him I pen,

Only a dad, but the best of men.

Baptism: The Public Sacrament

Private baptism is by no means invalid, but baptism is always best done in public. For the

sake of the baptized, yes, but also for the sake of all of us who look on.

Baptism is the opposite of a private matterbecause the salvation that God has set loose inChrist Jesus is not private in scope. God in Christ is at work putting back together a brokenuniverse, to follow Pauls metaphor in Romans 8, and that universe groans in anticipation ofwhat has yet to happen. Baptism, the mark of salvation for a person, is also a sign of what Godhas in store for all creation.

There is every bit of cultural inertia to keep people from saying something about their faithout loud, or acting on it. The Baptismal Covenant (BCP, 304-5) invites candidates to commit to

faith in the true God and to discipleship, a countercultural action. The rite presumes a publicand communal setting. You will notice that it is not just the candidates making the baptismalpromises. All present say aloud the vows with them. Because ultimately, it is not just aboutthem; its about us. And something far bigger than us.

In a country and in a culture where matters of religion and faith are mostly private and in-ward, candidates profess their faith out loud. In this culture, it is also easy to pretend that wecan get along without anyone else, or anything else. The myth of self-sufficiency is very strongfor us. Its just not a true myth. Human being from the beginning has been a social animal. Godlooked with pity on Adam, the first human, and realized that this is a species that does not do

so well all alone.

We are hard-wired to need one another. And not just for the necessary divvying-up of tasks,which makes it possible for humans beings to be something besides hunters and gatherers. Weneed one another, including the hard edges, in order to be shaped into the people of God whomGod has in mind.

The One True God is in fact a perfect community of Three Persons. Absolutely distinct but sobound together in the Trinitarian life that we are left with no alternative but to profess belief in

One God. To baptize in the name of the Trinity recollects the communal nature of Godandthe communal nature of human life.

What is an Episcopalian?

On May 5, Pastor Sally asked the Adult Forum attendees the question, What is an Episco-

palian? Here are their answers.

Believes in Jesus Christ, God the Father, Holy SpiritTrinitarian Not part of the Roman Catholic Church, but part of the catholic (universal) Church

The frozen chosen reputation for formality, stiffness

Liturgical

Allows individual exploration; no squashing of non-believers

Women clergy, married clergy

Diverse

God is present in the Eucharist

As Elizabeth I said, We create no windows into mens souls. Were liturgical, but

not creedal.

We focus on orthopraxy (right practice) rather than orthodoxy (right belief).

Were of the people. Governed by Bishops

Dont have all the answers

Were members of the Anglican Communion

Were part of the church, not the church

Apostolic succession of clergy

Not evangelical, not growing

Not terribly welcoming

Henry VIII was the beginning of our history

We can be perceived as wishy-washy because of our approach; too flexible

Liberal in our theological views

Elitist

Highly educated with high incomes and a low birth rate

Weve been the national church, the church of the U.S.

On Pentecost Sunday, St. Francis Eureka enjoyed Mass in

the Grass, sharing the table at Eucharist and at lunch, theone time each year when sharing does not take place indoors in a rented, make-do churchspace. We enjoyed a glorious, sunny day. We delighted in bird calls, cautiously let the green

beetles and caterpillars keep their own ways, reveled in the fresh air, and soaked in the green,wooded landscape just inches away from our tiny altar. The gifts of the Eucharist, bread andwine, celebrate the blending of divine creation and the work of human hands. We then ate awonderful lunch with dishes blending both divine creation and the work of human hands. Andit was good!

Into that nearly perfect day dropped a couple of unpleasant reminders, in the prayers of thepeople, and then in the announcements. Just the week before our idyllic Sunday worship, theNational Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration announced that for the first time, the dailymean atmospheric concentrations of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) reached more than 400 parts permillion (ppm). Any isolated statistic doesnt mean much, so let me give it a little context. Be-

fore the Industrial Revolution, estimates are that CO2 levels were about 280ppm. Currently,worldwide scientific consensus is that 350ppm is the highest level that will maintain a rela-tively stable climate. In May, for the first time, the average daily levels of CO2 in our atmos-

phere have reached an unsafe level and are continuing to climb at a much higher rate. It was asad and alarming note in the middle of our beautiful day. I asked Pastor Sally to share this in-formation because I agree with Rev. Fletcher Harper that, As people of faith it is our job to

reckon honestly with the truth. In the midst of our work [and play, and worship] there aretimes when sadness and fear are necessary companions.

As sad and alarming as the news might be, it didnt ruin our day. We still enjoyed the sunshineand blue skies, the plants, grass and flowers of our church. We shared the bounty of the Lords

table and shared with one another from our own tables. And it was goodthe whole day!

Let us continue to be grateful for our beautiful earth, especially our own little corner of it, to

continue to do what we can do to slow the addition of CO2 to earths atmosphere, and to prayfor guidance, not only for ourselves, but for the leaders of the earths political communities.Pray that we might serve and guard the earth so that God will look on us and say, Now thats

what Im talkin about!

KIDS KORNER

Our Childrens Reflections on God and the Gospel

Later with our food we will have Sprite, Sprite, Sprite and orange juice.

When youre 5 you can read.

I can listen and color too.

I love you, Jesus. We are your son. I love you. You love us. I love you to the son, til

the cows come home. To the disciples, have a last meal with me. I love you. Go down to

heaven. Thats what the priests say when they dont have anybody around them. Go to

heaven for 40 dollars. I love you to pieces, to pieces, to pieces, to crumbs. I love you like

skunks like spraying. I love you down to the drain. Amen!

Christianity is because of Michelangelo. Because without Christianity he would not be

inspired. If there was World War 10 there will be misery and everyone will be tired.

Talking about peace and love

People show peace by being nice to each other.

Silence is peaceful.

Love is being careful.

Love is being careful of others feelings.

How do your parents show love?

By caring about you.By making you wear your seat belt.

They give me stuff. They hug and kiss me. When I had problems with a girl at school my

mom told me to just work it, you.

We should all love Jesus and one another. Totes. (means totally)

Prayer for St. Francis

We pray for the witness, renewal, and growth of our parish family. Living

God, infuse us with your love. Enable us to proclaim the good news of Je-

words. Make St. Francis' Church a place of invitation and welcome, a safe

harbor and a beacon of the light of Christ. Amen.
