It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.’ (Deuteronomy 31:8)

Transitions. Transitions can be defined in

countless ways. Sometimes transitions are

full of celebration and feelings of accom-

plishment and expectation for the future.

Many of us celebrated these transitions in

the form of graduation ceremonies and

parties this last spring and summer. Other

transitions can be filled with fear or even

dread; a divorce, loss of a job, a best friend

moving far away from us, or maybe even

death. Some transitions can go totally unno-

ticed and therefore not properly celebrat-

ed, possibly resulting in hurt feelings, feelings

of unworthiness or even feelings of irrele-

vance. These can be identified as easily as

missed or forgotten birthdays, anniversaries,

or not being appreciated for a job well

done.

The problem is life is dynamic and always

changing. Life does not stop moving until

the energy of what we call, “life” is all used

up and our body ceases to be alive.

Change, transitions, new relationships, new

responsibilities, new opportunities to grow

and learn, even the seasons and the flora

and fauna that surrounds us, constantly re-

mind of us that, as of this morning, we have

been given another new day to live, learn,

love, and laugh.

In my life, our oldest is “leaving the nest”

and I can feel in all my being, the fear and

excitement I have for him as he makes one

of the biggest transitions in his life and be-

gins a new chapter in his life. Did we teach

him well enough? Can he take care of his

finances, health and keep a schedule with-

out us constantly watching over him? We

will find out soon enough. But just as im-

portant, did we take the time to celebrate

his growing up years in a fashion that helps

him make the leap into adulthood and feel

comfortable with his own abilities and ma-

turity as his own person?

I really think it is important to stop our bui-

ness, and acknowledge the transitions we

must go through on this journey of life.

Through the end of August and into Sep-

tember, as a congregation, we will

acknowledge change and transitions as we

install the teachers of our Montessori School.

We will bless the backpacks of all our kids

acknowledging their new life in a new

grade or school. We will celebrate our ever

changing congregation on Rally Sunday

acknowledging and celebrating who we

are and introducing all of our members, es-

pecially our “new members” to the many

opportunities we have to share faith in our

very blessed church.

As People of Faith, we need not fear

change and transitions. God has made a

promise to be with at all times, especially

during the difficult times. (Just keep the

song, “Jesus Loves Me” close to your heart

and lips at all times!) Change and transition

was not easy for Jesus either. That is why we

call his ministry a “Journey to the Cross.”

And he walked this journey to demonstrate

there is NOTHING that can separate us from

the love of God.

See you at church!

Pastor Tim

NOTES FROM TOM

Several months ago we were running errands. Almost all the items on the “to do” list were crossed out when we saw him. Actually, we did-n’t see him. Marcus, my partner saw him.

He was a mess. He was slouching on top of a wall—more folded on himself than sitting. His long, scraggly beard was as unkempt as his hair, and he looked to be as dirty as his clothes.

I was too busy driving to have noticed him and I wouldn’t have seen him had not Marcus said, “Oh, brother is wasted.” Only then did I notice the man perched atop the wall.

I was caught off-guard, not by what I saw or by what Marcus said, but by how Marcus said it. There was no judgment or harshness in his voice. Instead, there was profound compassion and even a hint of sadness.

Marcus looked beyond the man’s appearance and recognized the intrinsic worth of this person. I, on the other hand, was stuck. I saw the blank expression on his face and the lifeless look of his eyes. I saw but I didn’t see.

Without judgment or excuses Marcus talked about the loss that occurs when, for whatever reasons, we do not or cannot become the per-sons we are meant to become. He spoke with such directness and openness, and with such an awareness of the depth of pain, that I felt as if I was hearing God’s voice reminding me of the holiness of all life and the innate worth we all possess.

It was as if God was saying, “Don’t ever forget that this person, as wasted and depleted as he appears, is my child. I love him. He is of inesti-mable worth to me, and don’t even think for an instant that I don’t grieve for him.”

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about this man perched atop that wall and all that was said about him. I cannot help but remember Charlotte

Elliott’s hymn. It speaks to us and for us today as powerfully as it did when she wrote it in 1834.

Just as I am, without one plea But that thy blood was shed for me, And that thou bidd’st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Just as I am, though tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt; Fightings within and fears without, O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind; Sight, riches, healing of the mind, Yea, all I need, in thee to find, O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Just as I am: thou wilt receive; Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve, Because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Just as I am, thy love unknown Has broken every barrier down; Now to be thine, yea, thine alone, O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Keep singing! See you in worship— Calvary Calls

The month of August has been a busy one for

Calvary by the Sea Montessori School. The

classrooms have come alive again as the teachers

and students returned for the start of school. I

would like to extend a warm welcome back to all the

staff, students, and families. It is so nice to see the

children in the classroom interacting with each oth-

er and working with the Montessori lessons. This

is a busy time of year as everyone is getting back

into the rhythm of the school day. It is always a joy

to watch the year unfold and witness the many

changes that take place over the course of the

year.

On behalf of the school staff and families, I would

like to express our gratitude for the beautiful ser-

vice that included the Teacher Installation and

Blessing of the Families on August 18. We are

grateful for the opportunity to be a mission of

Calvary by the Sea Church in such a beautiful

space and location. On October 17 we will be

having our first Parent Workshop for families. I

would like to invite any parents of Calvary by the

Sea that are interested in learning more about

child development for young children. The topic

will be be announced this coming month. I look for-

ward to sharing more about the events of this com-

ing school year as they take place.

Excerpts from the Brown’s monthly letter: Graduation Dat at Mbingo! (July 20, 2013) Some quotes from our graduates Jerry Fahnloe Brown, Liberia: “Thank you to those who have supported me in this training. Liberia is a country of 5 million, with less than 100 physicians and only 5 trained surgeons. You have not only invested in an individual, you have invested in a na-tion.” Gerald Ekwen, Camarron: “I want to say thank you to my wife, Bertha, for all her sacrifices. You were willing to dimin-ish that I might increase… Thank you to the CBC for laying down the foundation on which this program rests.” Dagaulle Mifila, Democratic Republic of Congo: “I want to thank the PAACS administration for keeping the academic standards high.”

Our 3 graduates, Drs. Mifila, Ekwen, and Brown wearing the local traditional outifts given by the OR staff the week of graduation.

We knew it would be a busy week, with many preparations for a grand celebration, guests arriving, and extra events to attend. We had-n’t anticipated how emotionally exhausted we’d be. Being the proud “parents” to 3 grad-uates and their spouses and just bursting with happiness over their accomplishments was draining! It was a wonderful ceremony and af-terwards the 3 of them gave a huge party. There was food, dancing, and much rejoicing. Thanks to all of you who by your support, prayers, and scarifies enable us to be here. -Jim and Carolyn Brown

Stephen Ministry in Action:

ON THE FRONT LINES OF CARE

“I’ve given enough,”

U.S. Army Captain David Rozelle told his wife, Kim, from

the hospital in Iraq. Overcome by grief and pain, he thought

his ability and desire to serve were gone for good. But God

still had other plans. It was on June 21, 2003, that David’s

life had changed forever. Commander of Troop K in the

Third Armored Cavalry Regiment, he was riding in a

Humvee near Fallujah when a landmine exploded, badly

damaging the vehicle and severely injuring his right foot. In

spite of extreme pain and shock, David immediately thought

of the safety of the 140 soldiers under his command—issuing

orders to secure the site and evacuate casualties. Hours later,

doctors at the combat support hospital amputated David’s

lower right ankle and foot. After the surgery, David was

flown to Qatar, then to Germany, and finally, on the eve of

Independence Day 2003, to Walter Reed Army Medical Cen-

ter in Washington, D.C., where he joined the amputees on

Ward 57.

A Hero’s Joy and Sorrow

Weeks later, David returned home to Fort Carson,

Colorado, arriving in time to be with Kim for the birth of

their son, Forrest. In addition to becoming a father, David

was also a hero. But any joy was short-lived; he spent day

after day lying on the living room couch in a haze of depres-

sion. Kim’s love and patience and his joy in Forrest gave Da-

vid the strength to move forward. A meeting with President

Bush—and the President’s invitation to join him someday for

a run—encouraged him even more. He resolved to overcome

his fears and pain by strengthening his body.

Making Physical Progress

Eight surgeries and three months after the explosion,

David received his prosthesis. He resumed rigorous physical

activity and was soon fully functional, “jumping, walking

steps, doing push-ups, and sprinting up small inclines.” Be-

fore long, he was on the Colorado slopes learning to ski

again with the help of Disabled Sports USA.

A New Mission

Physical activity provided a temporary emotional

respite, but around six months after the explosion in Iraq, a

new reality struck. “I was lying on the couch, icing my leg,

and it hit me, ‘I’m going to be like this forever,’” he said. “It

finally sank in all at once. I was slowly realizing that I was

going to have to adapt my lifestyle. My heart broke. It was

after that day that my mind started to heal.” David now fo-

cused on two goals: his determination to return to the Army

and his concern for the needs of others with injuries like his

own. The first challenge—to be found fit for duty— was

straightforward. The second challenge was more difficult. “I

had left Walter Reed unarmed with what I needed to heal,”

he said. “There was no established support system to take

care of me.” Because he wanted to help other amputees, the

Army sent him on a visit to Walter Reed Hospital . He went

directly to Ward 57, where he sat, talked, and prayed with the

amputees. Although they deeply appreciated his gift of time,

David found their grief difficult to handle and knew he need-

ed to be a better listener. He returned home, wondering,

Where can I learn these skills?

Called to Stephen Ministry

In May 2004, David’s church, First Presbyterian

Church in Colorado Springs—a Stephen Ministry

congregation since 1981—was preparing to train another

class of Stephen Ministers. David attended an information

session and applied to serve as a Stephen Minister. In the

application interview, “David described how he felt called to

minister to other amputees,” said Stephen Leader Arlene

Bosma. Soon David was part of the congregation’s eighth

training class of Stephen Ministers. “David relies on his faith

in Jesus Christ to sustain him in all situations,” said Rev. Jo-

Ann Brechbill, Minister of Congregational Care and a Ste-

phen Leader. “He took Stephen Ministry training because he

wanted to be better prepared to help those who have chal-

lenges like his.”

A Stephen Minister on the Battlefield

During Stephen Ministry training, David received notice that

the Army considered him “fit for duty.” He wondered where

he’d want to serve. He discovered the answer when he wel-

comed his troop back from Iraq. As he celebrated their home-

coming, he realized how much he loved being an Army cap-

tain and cavalryman. On June 17, 2004, he resumed com-

mand, just four days before the first anniversary of his injury.

Two weeks later- just a few sessions before he completed his

Stephen Ministry training- David returned to Iraq, the first

soldier in history to become an amputee and then resume his

command on the same battlefield. Back in Iraq, he frequently

found himself using his Stephen Minister caregiving skills.

“There are never enough chaplains to cover the needs of our

soldiers,” he said. “Lay ministers are essential to our force.”

Looking to the Future

David had two goals for when he returned from Iraq: to be-

come program director of a new amputee center at Walter

Reed and to finish the last few sessions of his Stephen Minis-

ter training. “I want to give soldiers someone to talk to who

has made it through what they’re facing, let them ask ques-

tions, and have them see me walking,” David said. Now,

back from his tour of duty in Iraq, David is working toward

achieving those goals. He is ministering to those at Walter

Reed and working to establish an amputee center there.
