Pastor ’s Corner On their way they entered a village…but

they did not receive [Jesus… His disciples]

said, “ Lord, do you want us to command

fire to come down from heaven and con-

sume them?” But Jesus turned and rebuked

them. – Luke 9:52-54, from the Gospel

reading for June 26, 2016

I’m very grateful for the disciples, specifically for their ina- bility to remember and implement Jesus’ teachings from whatseems like one moment to the next. Their failings are on a par withmy failings and those of the people around me. That’s reassuring,

because I know that Jesus deeply loves all of us. (Although I imag-

ine there’s some eye-rolling and deep sighing involved occasional-ly.)

It was earlier in this same chapter of Luke that Jesus sentthe disciples out in his name, telling them to teach and to heal. Je-sus told them, “Wherever they do not welcome you, as you areleaving that town shake the dust off your feet.” In the passage cit-ed above, Jesus has been made to feel unwelcome and the disciplesare ready to rain down fire on the villagers. Retribution is not Je-sus’ way.

Following Jesus requires risk -taking. We’re asked to pro-

claim the good news of Jesus Christ to strangers, knowing that theymay scoff or label us as “one of those kind of Chris-

tians,” (whatever that means). We’re asked to welcome people we

don’t understand and who may even scare us a little. We’re asked

to forgive people who act egregiously, not because they deserve it

but because it is ruinous to our spiritual health to hold on to rage

and resentment. Following Jesus is not easy and often, just like the

disciples, we stumble. But it provides a life-giving, loving alterna-

tive to retribution, name-calling, and blaming. It’s worth the risks.

From the Deacon

A Prayer for Humility

Help me, O God,

To have the humility to sit at the feet of great art,

whether it is a painting or a person on the street,

a scene from a movie or a score from a musical,

a sunset or a psalm,

and to look and to listen and to receive

what is being offered me there.

Give me the grace to submit to its scrutiny,

seeking not to do something to it,

but that it might do something to me;

seeking not in some way to judge it,

but that it might in some way judge me…

Windows of the Soul; Experiencing God in New Ways

By Ken Gire

Too often, we overlook what stands before us. Our busy lives keep us from appre-

ciating the beauty and wonder of God’s creation that surrounds us. We miss oppor-tunities to connect, bond, or engage with other human beings, many for whom wedeeply care. We miss living in the present. It requires effort from us in order to“keep the reverence of God always before our eyes and never forget it”, which isthe first step of humility according to the Rule of St. Benedict. Joan Chittisterwrites in her book, Illuminated Life, explaining it as such:

Awareness puts us into contact with the universe. It mines every relationship, unmasks every event, every moment, for the meaning that is under the meaning of it. The question is not so much what is going on in the

room, but what is happening to me because of it? What do I see here of God

that I could not see otherwise? What is God demanding of my heart as a result of each event, each situation, each person in my life?

The summer months are upon us and I’ll be the first to admit that summer bringsadded work and demands to my daily routine—much of which I enjoy and look for-ward to. But this poetic prayer and reflection speak to me about the potential haz-ards of a life lived at far too fast a pace, albeit unsustainable, and the high risk ofmissing “God moments” in the ordinary and extraordinary. But when we keep our-selves mindful and responsive to God’s presence in whatever lies before us, in thenow

, we can bring greater strength, value and pleasure into the mix of our busylives.

The Earthy Soul by Kathleen McDonald

As St. Francis’ liaison to the Ycommunity garden, I received an email

from Leslie, who is not only a Master

Gardener and in charge of the Bounty

Share Berm project this year, but also a

member of St. Martin’s Ellisville. These

are Leslie’s words:

Right now, the berm just needs

basic care: watering, weeding,mulching, and thinning. The

cucumber vines may need some encouragement to climb the fence as they

grow bigger.

What I read were simple, clear directions to the four or five folks who will be doing

this work. What I saw, briefly, in my head is a different matter all together.

I pictured God tending to the peoples of the Earth, making sure that we had enough

food and water, helping to move predators out of the way so that all might be fruitful

and grow. In an especially whimsical and delightful moment, I pictured God gentlyencouraging us, his cucumbers at St. Francis’, to stand up tall and hold on to some

new fencing. We’ll have a fence not built to keep us in or to keep others out, but a

fence that will help us get more sunlight and less mold. Our new position will help

us to thrive, to blossom and grow and provide fruit for the world around us.

Leslie’s words provided the direction our team needed to know our job. But, I be-

lieve, through the working of the Holy Spirit, her words also reminded me that the

most sacred work — that of growing the Kingdom of God — is often detailed in the

most mundane of tasks; that God’s care for creation models the care that we owe to

the same.

Dear God, our Master Gardener: Our new building is in the same phase just now as

the seedling cucumbers: barely germinated and starting to grow. We know how to

gently help the new plants latch on to a fence so that they can grow successfully and

feed your people. Help us to accept your gentle guidance as we train ourselves to

new postures needed to grow and thrive and bear fruit for the Kingdom of God.

Amen.

St. Francis’ Grows! St. Francis’ gardeners are busy again this summermaking sure that as wegrow our new church

building, we are keeping

focused on our ministries.In this case, it’s providingfresh produce for the cli-ents of the Eureka FoodPantry and the Circle ofConcern pantry as well.

We can’t help but be joyfulthat by this time next yearwe may have constructed

our own deer - proof beds

and can continue and even grow our ministry in our own home.

In our final year at the Wildwood West Community Garden at the Y, our bedsare planned, organized, and even planted by others. All we have to do is to takegood care of our plants and help feed people with the harvests. Our share of the beds this year include the cucumbers and bush beans picture above, as well as

okra and squash. We have some radishes, too, and lovely nasturtiums (great in asalad!) whose job before final harvest is not to provide food for people, but to

keep off the bugs that infest our veggies. As our Vicar might say, “Cool beans!”

St. Francis’ Explores the City

The next outing of the Wednesday travelers should make anybody happy.

1. It’s not dependent on good weather.

2. We’re going to the library for a tour of the old/new central library.

2. We’re touring the brewery and having lunch at the Biergarten.

We meet at the Parish House at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 29th. We’ll car-

pool to our first appointment. All members of St. Francis’ are welcome, as are

our neighbors, friends, children and grandchildren. It will be a great outing!

602 Brewster Rd. - Building Update

At the end of April, Clark Davis and Rick Kuhn met with the building committee

chairs. Clark and Rick are members of the Bishop’s Commission on Church Archi-

tecture and Allied Arts, the Diocesan group with oversight of our building project.Clark is an architect; Rick is a general contractor. Clark and Rick suggested chang-

es – all of them upgrades – to what we had selected for the interior and exterior ma-

terials and finishes. The proposed changes were well received.

During May, civil engineers worked on creating a site plan, which shows the

location of the building, sidewalks, parking, etc., on the property. It’s our hope that

the site plan – shown below -- will be submitted and approved by the City of Eure-
