    Pastors Corner

    The Church can represent a variety of organizations Protestant,

    Catholic, denominational, nondenominational. Whats meant is that

    people we trusted as representatives of Christ betrayed us in some

    way.

    Almost every churchgoing Christian has been treated badly

    by people in their church at various times in their lives. Churchgo-ers are first and foremost human beings. And human beings do stu-

    pid and hurtful things. Hence, the need to be in church, confessing

    sin and seeking forgiveness.

    When a person is hurt by clergy or a Diocesan group, the

    blow is even more severe and difficult to recover from. We expect

    our ordained leadership and our Church institution to represent

    Christ if not perfectly, at least faithfully. And when we perceive

    that this is not the case, its painful and disturbing.

    Both recently and over the years, St. Francis has discerned

    among our members a call to ordained ministry. We, as a congrega-

    tion, have said yes. And weve been distressed, angry, and hurt

    when the Diocese has said no. Why is there a disconnect? What

    is being done about it?

    Bishop Smith has convened a group to look at the entire

    process of discerning a call to ordained ministry. The group com-

    prises members from the Commission on Ministry, including our

    parishioner Michael Booker; the Board of Examining Chaplains;and the Board of the Episcopal School for Ministry. When

    Ive been hurt by the Church.

    Weve all heard people express this senti-

    ment. Perhaps weve said it ourselves.

    Different words may have been used. And

    Test Drive Sunday Update

    On Sep 8, St. Francis held Test Drive Sunday, where we in-

    vited folks to come kick the tires and take us for a spin. We had 18 visi-

    tors that day. And we had 4 visitors the following Sunday. Eight of our

    Test Drive Sunday visitors have joined St. Francis Church. Kudos to all who worked so hard

    to make this happen. Vroom, vroom!

    Our Music Director Paul Ullrich

    October 6 is Paul Ullrichs first Sunday as St. Francis Music Director. Paul lives in Ditt-

    mer. He has extensive experience as an organist and choir director. Most recently he played for

    the Christian Science Church in Godfrey, IL. Paul sang tenor with the St. Louis Symphony Cho-

    rus for 4 years. Hes sung and played for United Methodist, United Church of Christ, RomanCatholic, and Episcopal Churches. We welcome Paul!

    November Book Group

    The Beautiful Mystery by Louise Penny

    Readers: For a really great time with your friends from church, just do two things: Read The

    Beautiful Mystery by Louise Penny; mark your calendar for6:30 p.m., Thursday, November 14st

    at the Parish House. Youre set!

    This will be the first book in the mystery genre that St. Francis book lovers have read to-

    gether. The mystery in the title refers not to the unfortunate murder of a monk that could only

    have been committed by another monk. It refers to the beautiful mystery of near-perfect Gregor-

    ian Chant, performed as worship by the monks of an isolated monastery in rural Quebec. Yes, one

    of the holy men, devoted to worship of God, is a murderer. But which one? How will we know?

    If this story seems familiar, it might be because it was used in a sermon at St. Francis,

    preached by the Rev. Dr. Warren Crews this past summer. The book is fascinat-

    ing, fast paced, and full of intrigue, even set in this quiet, isolated, peaceful abbey.

    The book is full of wonderful characters, moral issues, and looks at good and evil.

    Well have a great conversation.

    Easy copies at Amazon.com, (hardback, paperback, audio and Kindle) aswell as at St. Louis County Library. All are welcome. Give yourself a treat: read, enjoy, talk.

    Consecration Sunday Is Coming

    Congregations that approach financial stewardship from a biblical perspective do not viewthe money Christians give to their church merely as a way to pay its bills. Rather, such congrega-tions see financial contributions as a way to help people grow spiritually in their relationship withGod by supporting their churchs mission and ministry with a percentage of their incomes.

    Our congregations finance committee has selected theNewConsecration Sunday Steward-ship Program as a way to teach the biblical and spiritual principles of generous giving in our stew-

    ardship education emphasis this year.

    New Consecration Sunday is based on the biblical philosophy of the need of the giver togive for his or her own spiritual development, rather than on the need of the church to receive. In-stead of treating people like members of a social club who should pay dues, we will treat peoplelike followers of Jesus Christ who want to give unselfishly as an act of discipleship.NewConse-cration Sunday encourages people toward proportionate and systematic giving in response to the

    question, What percentage of my income is God calling me to give?

    During morning worship on Consecration Sunday, we are asking our attendees and mem-bers to make their financial commitments to our churchs missionary, benevolent, and educational

    ministries in this community and around the world.

    Every attendee and member who completes anEstimate of Giving Carddoes so voluntarilyby attending morning worship on Consecration Sunday. We urge people to attend who feelstrongly opposed to completing a card. The procedure is done in such a way that no one feels per-

    sonal embarrassment if he or she chooses not to fill out a card.

    We will do no home solicitation to ask people to complete cards. During morning worshipour guest leader will conduct a brief period of instruction and inspiration, climaxed by members

    making their commitments as a confidential act of worship.

    We will encourage participation in Consecration Sunday events through the ConsecrationSunday team and Bishops Committee members. Since we will make no follow-up visits to ask

    people to complete their cards, we will make every effort to inform, inspire, and commit everyone

    to attend Consecration Sunday worship.

    Thanks in advance for your enthusiastic participation in Consecration Sunday events.

    Eureka Food Pantry Needs

    The Food Pantry is serving

    more and more families each week

    and are in desperate need of toilet-

    ries (tooth paste, tooth brushes, tis-

    sue, toilet paper, etc.) as well as per-

    sonal hygiene products for women.

    Food stamps do not cover anything

    that is not edible, thus the need for

    these items.

    As far as actual food, Cheer-

    ios and their generic equivalent

    along with all types of dry cereal are

    very popular and always needed.

    Consider This:A Time for Every Season

    For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under

    heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up

    what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time

    to build up; ... Ecclesiastes 3

    Now is the time for us to harvest the last of our tomatoes. Now is the time to

    share them among ourselves and with the clients of the Eureka food pantry. Now is

    the time for our gardens to lie fallow, restoring energy, preparing to grow food for us

    in the spring. Now is the time to give thanks to God for the bounty of this season,

    for good healthy food that we can share with our neighbors.

    Perhaps now is also the time to turn our food-growing attentions to those

    whose hunger is never-ending, the families whose perpetual hunger is a sort of col-

    lateral damage in the wars of poverty, of politics, of oppression.

    In adult forum during the next two weeks hunger and social justice will be the

    topic of our learning and of our conversation. October 6th, Pastor Sally will lead us

    through a viewing of the film A Place at the Table, which focuses on hunger in

    America. October 13th, Steve Strathearn and I will lead our fourth annual lunch dis-

    cussion around Oxfams World Hunger Day.

    Perhaps what well be doing on those two days is planting seeds of under-

    standing that will grow into actions in our community and in the world, actions that

    will help to end the endless battle against hunger. Perhaps well find those seeds

    have already been planted and need only a booster of compassion to grow into ac-

    tions of real social justice.

    Knowing that God wants us to care for all of Gods creation, care especially

    for those in need, this season could be for us a flowering of the time for every pur-

    pose under heaven.

    A Bit of Humor

    A tiger was walking through the jungle one day and saw two men relaxing under a tree.

    One was reading a newspaper, and the other was working feverishly on a manual typewriter.

    The tiger leapt on the man with the newspaper, and ate him up. The tiger did not bother

    the other man at all. Thats because any predator knows that readers digest but writers cramp.
