The Presbyterian Church of Bowling Green, Kentucky

. Pastoral Note

In one of our planning meetings, the Worship Committee suggested that the congregation might bene-fit from information about silence in worship. We have silence after the Welcome and Announce-ments and before the Prel-ude begins. We observe silence after the Prayer for Confession for personal con-fession. There is a brief silence after the Sermon. Often, the Prayers of the People involve short periods of silence as we collect our thoughts on items of prayer. Why do we do this? In one way, the answer is obvious. We create separa-tion between distinct parts of the worship service with an appropriate pause. We also can give greater focus to moments in worship if we leave ourselves time to think. Silence is strangely personal,

too; and it gives us all a moment to make the worship experience our own. Silence is also slightly counter-cultural. We may, sometimes, want to resist the drive to be busy, and driven, and noisy that is a hallmark of modern life. Sometimes, we may want to step outside the noise, and sense in a moment of quiet some of the depth and serenity of being God’s creatures, and crea-tures with spiritual lives that don’t have to be pressed into the spiritless shape of the hectic and hustling world. In 1831, Thomas Carlyle wrote this in Sartor Resartis: "Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together…Speech is of Time, Silence is of Eternity." And didn’t the crooner Frankie Valli once croon, “Silence is Golden?” Know You Are Loved, Matthew

Have you ever wondered what your pastor reads? Well, maybe you haven’t and maybe you’re not curious so you can stop reading now. However, for all those that are curious as to what I have read, am reading, and will be reading, and if any of it is worthy to be read again here it goes.

When it comes to theological writings I bounce between several theologians but a limited list includes the following: -Rowan Williams: Tokens of Trust (actually parses out the Apostles’ Creed) and On Theology (a profound work on understanding the trinity) -Shirley Guthrie: Christian Doctrine (a concise and easily accessible work of theol-ogy) -Wendy Farley: Tragic Vision and Divine Compassion: A Contemporary Theodicy (which is one of the best explanations on suffering) and The Wounding and Healing of Desire -Edward Farley (and yes…. Wendy is the daughter of Ed): Divine Empathy: A The-ology of God and Good and Evil -Calvin: Institutes of the Christian Religion (a staple for a Presbyterian)

Recently I have spent a considerable amount of time reading practical ecclesial books about new movements around the country, which include the emergent church, new monasticism, and the postmodern church. So here are just a few of the titles.

-New Monasticism: What it has to say to Today’s Church -School(s) for Conversion: 12 Marks of a New Monasticism -The Practicing Congregation: Imagining a New Old Church -The Irresistible Revolution -Church on the Other Side

Now that it sounds like I only read theological and ecclesial books I do have to confess in true Presbyterian style that I do read some for leisure. The most recent books include A.J. Jacobs My Life as an Experiment and The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Two very different books but excellent. My future reading material is The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Enjoy reading! Rev. Kara J. Hildebrandt

From the Director of Music

An Embarrassment of Riches

You may have noticed lately that there a number of new faces in the choir. (Actually, we currently have the largest choir ever with some thirty-five active members!) Many of those faces belong to Western Kentucky University students, and I believe that you might enjoy knowing a little about them, so here goes: Talor Barnett, alto – Collegiate Ensemble member, is a senior music education major at Western Kentucky University, where she has sung with the vocal ensembles and appeared in productions of Trial by Jury and The Devil and Daniel Webster. This past summer she was the Scarecrow in the Franklin-Simpson Arts Council production of The Wiz. This is Talor’s first year as a member of the Collegiate Ensemble. Eric Bigler, baritone, has sung with our Chancel Choir for many years. We have enjoyed watching his vocal journey from boy soprano down to today’s booming baritone. He is currently a sophomore music major at the university, where he is studying with Liza Kelly. Faith Byrd, soprano, is a junior music education major at Western Kentucky University, where she sings with numerous ensembles. Faith is a Bowling Green native and a fine addition to our soprano section. Sarah Capito, soprano – Collegiate Ensemble member, is pursuing a degree in Music Education at Western Kentucky University. A native of Bowling Green, she has been a member of The Presbyterian Church since childhood. While at WKU, Sarah has been a part of many groups and ensembles including the WKU Chorale, Women's Choir, and the Treblemakers, and is also a member of the professional music fraternity - Delta Omicron. Ellyn Kerchenski, alto, is a freshman horn major at the university who recently shared her talents with us by playing a lovely horn solo for worship. Ellyn is affiliated with the Russell-ville Presbyterian Church, is a graduate of Logan County High School, and is a welcome member of the choir’s alto section. Katie Knight, soprano, is a sophomore music major at the university studying with Lisa Hussung. Katie is a graduate of Bowling Green High School, and can often be found play-ing ping pong with Eric Bigler between Sunday morning services. Katie is also a fine clarinetist and a great addition to our choir. Travis Lowe, baritone - Collegiate Ensemble member, is a senior at Western Kentucky University where he is pursuing a Music Education degree. Travis has sung the title role in Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi and the role of the judge in Sullivan’s Trial by Jury at WKU, and recently performed the role of the Cowardly Lion in the Franklin-Simpson Arts Council pro-duction of The Wiz. As a long-standing member of the Ensemble, Travis has shown exem-plary leadership and dedication. He is also currently directing our youth choir, N’SPIRE. We look forward to watching Travis as he continues his education and moves into a profes-sional music career.

Gregory McCord, tenor– Collegiate Ensemble mem-ber, holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from Western Kentucky Univer-sity and is currently pursu-ing a Vocal Education de-gree. After graduation, Gregory’s plans include teaching music locally. Gregory is a long-standing member of the Collegiate Ensemble and has been directing the King’s Kids to great success. Gregory is married to soprano Sarah McCord, who for many years served as the princi-pal soprano in the Colle-giate Ensemble. We are blessed to have both of the McCord’s as members of our church family and Chancel Choir, where Gregory is preparing to serve as deacon. Jonathan Whitman , tenor, is a freshman art major from Russellville, Kentucky. Jonathan is a graduate of Logan County High School and we are delighted to have him join the tenor section of the Chancel Choir. Jonathan has recently agreed to be-come our choral librarian and will be working closely with me as we reorganize our music library in the months ahead. We are so fortunate to have these gifted young people working in our Music Ministry. They truly bring “an embarrassment of riches” to our church family. Wishing you and yours the joys of Thanksgiving in the month ahead. David Paul Gibson Director of Music

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. William Arthur Ward

Let me add to that my special thanks to Susan Leachman for providing liturgical dancers as an elegant beginning for our Gathering. And thanks to all of the Circles and the handful of men who made sure that our guests were well-parked, well-greeted and well-fed! Not to mention the attention to countless details that make the difference between an ordinary meeting and a wonderful occasion. Our own Reverend Kara Hildebrandt set a thoughtful, reflective tone in her Com-munion meditation, while Kelly Goad presented his serious subject matter with humor and a touch of grace. Let me join the many others who complemented all of you on your great job. By the end of the Gathering, we collected $568.00 for Living Waters for the World and an additional $170.95 for Least Coin. And, to top it off, we sold half a dozen cookbooks! Thanks again to everyone for a marvelous job. Shirley Schoen, PW Moderator

PW FALL GATHERING—THANKS TO EVERYONE

Following our Gathering, PW Presbytery Moderator, Rose Morgan wrote: “Shirley said it all—’Presbyterian Women Rock!!’ The PW of Bowling Green did a wonderful job putting together the PW Fall Gathering. Everything was lovely, delicious and well organized. Thank you for all your hard work. Blessings to you all.”

Earlene Newman Day was celebrated on October 24, 2010

A grand celebration was held on Sunday, October 24, 2010 in recognition of Earlene Holton Newman, the longest standing member of this congregation.

Earlene was born to Meade Estin and Henrietta Underwood Holton in TN. The family moved to BG in 1924 when she was 7. She is the oldest of 8 children.

She has attended this church since 1924 except for a few early years of her marriage. She was confirmed as a member when she was 12. With her parents, brothers and sisters she was actively involved in the mission and ministry of Little Rock Church in Delafield for

37 hears. Many Sundays, she “went to church twice”, attending here in the morning and teaching SS in the afternoon at Little Rock. She graduated from BGHS.

Earlene married BG native Robert Newman in 1935. For a few years they resided in Owensboro and Cave City before settling in Bowling Green. During those years Bob served as a civil servant of the Federal Government. They were married 52 years prior to his death.

Earlene worked 32 years as a salesperson and a model for Pushin’s department store on the square.

During her adult years at this church Earlene has been a member of Circle 5 and currently Circle 3. She has served as president, secretary/treasurer and Bible study leader. She and her husband were active members of the Presbyterian Men and Women’s group and she served as secretary/treasurer “for life” since Dorothy Pearson refused to allow anyone else’s name to be considered. Earlene was the “only one who knew anything about it” according to Dorothy.

Earlene and her husband were avid fishermen and fished all of the lakes around here, even those in TN. She enjoyed sewing, doing needlework, helped organize and was a member of Springhill Homemakers Club for over 40 years. One of her recipes from that club is printed on page 148 of The Presbyterian Church cookbook.

Earlene is a devoted “Aunt E” to nieces, nephews and one great, great nephew. She has two surviving brothers, John and Charlie. She is very fond of this church and considers its members to be her second family.

Church library undergoes renovation

The library is undergoing a renewal. All books are being classi-fied and shelved anew. Books may be checked out during this phase. When completed, the library will be more self service oriented. A lend a book club will be started for those who enjoy leisure reading.

Peacemaking task force expresses thanks

The Peacemaking task force extends our thanks to all who attended the presenta-tion by Matt Lang of the PCUSA Peacemaking Program on World Communion Sunday and to those who contributed to the Peacemaking Offering. Hearing about Matt’s work with our church partners in the Philippines reminds us of the value of supporting both the long term mission work of our denomination and special pro-jects that fall under the umbrella of the Peacemaking Program (such as providing election monitors). Your generosity resulted in the collection of $1,002.25 in this years offering. Twenty five percent of that amount will be used for local Peacemak-ing projects, twenty five percent will support Presbytery and Synod initiatives and 50% will go to support of the PCUSA Peacemaking program which is solely funded through this offering. A special note of thanks to Corrie and Arvin Vos for the hospi-tality offered to our guest.

We also wish to thank all of you who supported the Backyard Chicks project. We were able to provide 12 families with starter kits and feed as well as distribute 45 chicks.

A special thanks goes to Pam Kielty and Steve Todd for their ongoing work in coor-dinating the Fair Trade Coffee Project. They have put in many hours maintaining our program and have expanded it by including orders from the Episcopal Church while assisting Holy Spirit in setting up their denomination's version. Not only does this program supply many with the opportunity to purchase a fair trade product but supports the independent farmer/producers and raises money for micro lending to women.

Thursday evening Sept. 30th the Interfaith Coalition on Earth Care, a group that formed out of last spring’s Interfaith Earth Care Conference, held a member’s meeting at the Presbyterian Church. This group uses care of creation as a shared concern of the faith communities to bring together people to pray with and support

one another in learning about, and advocating for the ways we as individuals and people of faith can engage in healing and preserving God’s gift of the earth. Those attending shared a pot luck meal of locally grown foods, and watched the film “Dirt” which celebrates the amazing life-sustaining properties of the soil beneath our feet. Future plans include joining the Unitarian congregation at Shanty Hollow Lake Appre-ciation Day, a day of thanksgiving and celebration of that area and producing a guide to Recycling in the Bowling Green, Warren County area. It was a great pleasure to have the opportunity to share our facility with this group.

If you are interested in learning more about the scope and significance of Presbyterian Peace-making you are invited to join us in any of a vari-ety of initiatives as a member of the task force. Contact: Susan Webb (mshw6 @aol.com), Ann Rudolph or Tom Moody.

Presbyterian Coffee Project set to take orders

Orders will be taken on Sunday, November 21, 2010 in Fellowship Hall from 9:30 -11:00 a.m. for fairly-traded coffee, tea, chocolate, and snack items. All orders will be shipped in time for use as Christmas gifts. Please be ready to prepay your order by check or cash.

Over the past four years, thanks to your commitment, our congrega-tion has ordered approximately $14,000 worth of products through our partnership with the Equal Exchange Fair Trade Project. A per-centage of these proceeds has been returned to our denomination for use in its own Small Farmers Project. Thanks to your generosity our congregation has also made a donation to coffee farmers in Co-lumbia and women coffee farmers in Mexico.

New approach announced Same Manna Mart, New Approach During November we will ask that each time you enter our historic building of worship and service, you bring a canned good with you. Receptacles will be places near entryways. Going to church? Bring a canned good. Going to Sunday School? Bring a canned good. Going to youth group? Bring a canned good. Going to Circle? Bring a canned good. Going to Gordoneers? Bring a canned good. And thank you for helping others!

A Word from Bellewood, our “Benevolence of the Month”

Bellewood is a nonprofit ministry serving abused, homeless and at-risk youth throughout Kentucky since 1849. We reclaim, educate and empower struggling children and families so they may lead healthy, independent lives.

More than a century and a half has passed since the members of four Presbyterian churches sought to address the needs of homeless and abandoned children in Kentucky, forming what became Bellewood Home for Children. Since that time, we have evolved from a single orphanage to a statewide agency with a multitude of care programs.

As the needs of youth and families change, so do our services. We face issues head-on that many people choose to ignore, and we make limitless strides to ensure our programs lead to successful, healthy lives for the young people in our hands,

Two years ago, we saw the growing need for better foster homes in Kentucky. After careful planning, we decided to take a fresh approach to this form of childcare and initiated Therapeutic Foster Care.

Bellewood’s program works to secure the best match between foster parents and a child. Additionally, we provide extensive training to parents and offer continuous support to homes in an effort to ensure the child’s safety, stability and success.

In just the past two years, our program’s numbers have more than quadrupled. We have 65-and growing foster homes registered with us, and our reach is stretching across Kentucky.

We are more proud than ever that some of our first foster parents are starting to adopt. These individuals worked extremely hard to provide for and educate their children. They opened their homes to young ones who were either abused or aban-doned and provided them with an opportunity to live a better life, an the impact they’re making is immeasurable.

By taking just one child, a parent is stopping the cycle of abuse and neglect that has been tolerated for generations.

Our ability to help these troubled young people is made possible through the prayers and ongoing partnerships with local churches. We are indescribably grateful for your support and it is our hope to continue growing the relationship with you. Sally Pendleton — [email protected] — 502.245.4171
