minister member of

the Presbytery of

Charlotte. He was

educated at Union

Theological Seminary

in Richmond,

Virginia, was

ordained in 1993

and has been

serving Presbyterian Churches in the

Carolinas since ordination.

Rev. Muse served the church as an

installed pastor for 10 years and for

the past 15, as an intentional interim

minister. Starmount will be the 8th

congregation Rev. Muse has served

as a transitional pastor. John is no

stranger to the Presbytery of Salem. From

2011-1013, he served the Jamestown

Presbyterian Church prior to the arrival of

Pastor Jay Smith.

John and Beth Muse have two grown

children. Evan (22) is employed by the

City of Rock Hill, South Carolina and

daughter Kate (19) is a rising

sophomore at the University of South

Carolina, Lancaster. John’s wife, Beth,

is also an ordained Presbyterian

minister. She serves the Ruby

Presbyterian Church on Sundays in

Ruby, South Carolina, which is outside

of Chesterfield.

During this bridge interim period, John

will reside locally in the parsonage of

the Jamestown church and will be

available to the congregation in times

of need.

Rev. Muse will work full time, lead staff

and worship and will provide

transitional leadership and pastoral

services to Starmount. He is happy to

be here and looks forward to bridging

the gap between pastors.

PASTOR ’S Worship Note: Why Intinction?

Once a month, we carve out time in worship

to celebrate the Lord’s Supper, more

commonly called “communion”. The Book of

Order reminds us that “at the Lord’s Table, the

Church is renewed and empowered by the

memory of Christ’s life, death, resurrection,

and promise to return. In remembering,

believers receive and trust the love of Christ

present to them and to the world; they

manifest the reality of the covenant of grace

in reconciling and being reconciled; and they

proclaim the power of Christ’s reign for the

renewal of the world in justice and in peace.”

The two ways we receive communion are

through Intinction and through the passing of

the trays through the pews. Over the last

twelve months, Intinction has become more

commonplace during Starmount’s celebration

of the Lord’s Supper – but why?

Both ways to serve communion can provide a

rich experience for everyone involved.

However, there are some who believe that

serving communion by Intinction can provide

a more intimate, personal experience for all

involved. To have to come forward to receive

communion can help us to reflect on the

journey that Jesus took, as well as the faith

journey we take as well. To have an individual

connection to the teaching and ruling elders

called by the church to lead provides a

personal connection as the elements are

distributed. The journey, the presentation of

the bread and cup, and the return to the pew

for reflection and prayer can lead to a faith-

rich, powerful experience.

Communion this month will be served on

Sunday, June 11, which is Confirmation

Sunday. One of the first acts of service the

confirmands perform as active members of

the congregation is to serve communion to

other church members. So as you come

forward for Intinction this month, the

confirmands with be serving with their mentors;

take a piece of bread large enough to dip

into the cup and, as you return, you are

encouraged to reflect on the ways your faith

has sustained you throughout your life.

THANK YOU!

My words cannot begin to

express the gratitude in

my heart for the kind

words, cards,

congratulations, and well

wishes over the last six

weeks. I am also blown away by the generosity

of all of you with my graduation gift – I was

joking with someone after worship one day that

I am a little bummed to have “casual summers”

without robes because I won’t be able to wear

it! However, I know it will be there in the fall

when the weather cools down a bit. In the

meantime, I get to look at it with fondness

about my achievement and the love, prayers,

and support I have felt from each one of you

from the first day to now.

I am looking forward to all of the wonderful

activities, work, and planning that will be going

on this summer – Cindy Lee and I will be

working with the Faith Formation Committee on

a long-range plan for milestones in Children’s

Ministry. Multiple committees are working

together to host the first of hopefully many

Sundae Hymn Sings. Tutoring on Wednesday

afternoons will keep the hallways buzzing, as

will the Preschool’s Summer Stars program. We

will also look forward to Vacation Bible School

and other wonderful activities that the

Fellowship Committee has planned.

I am also looking forward to welcoming Rev.

John Muse to our church family. Visitors,

returning guests, and new members continue

to comment that Starmount is such a warm and

welcoming congregation. I look forward to

seeing how that welcoming and hospitality

extend to a new staff member as well!

Blessings,

Pastor Kathryn

Youth Fund and Hood Grant

Application Deadline

EXTENDED

The Faith Formation Committee has

two exciting opportunities to help

college and graduate students in

the Starmount community. Please

note that the deadline has been extended to

Sunday, June 18, at midnight. Applications can

be submitted to Pastor Kathryn by email and

will be discussed at the next Faith Formation

Committee meeting, with a decision being

presented to applicants before the start of the

fall semester.

The Youth Fund Grant is available to both

high school graduates and postgraduate

students – students may apply once for

college and once for their postgraduate

education. The Youth Fund Grant provides

$400 for those high school students entering

college or $300 for those entering graduate

school and is paid directly to the student with

the intention of using it toward tuition, books,

or other school-related fees.

To apply for this Youth Fund grant, a 500-word

essay should be submitted outlining their plans

for the fall, as well as their service-related

involvement, church involvement, academic

achievements, and how their faith has helped

to shape them into who they are today and

how they see it sustaining them in the year to

come.

The Bob and Irene Hood Scholarship, is a

new grant provided by the generosity of an

endowment gift from Bob and Jackie Hood.

The application process is as follows: a letter of

application should include their involvement

and/or service to the church, information

about the applicant’s future goals and how

this money would help in achieving those

goals. They should also provide information

regarding any other scholarships which they

applied for and/or anticipate. If there are any

special needs for this particular year, they

should also be addressed. The applicant’s GPA

should also be included. In addition, a one-

page statement of faith should be included

with the letter of application. A letter of

recommendation from a member of the

church (non-family) will be required. The

Committee recommends an elder or mentor.

The Faith Formation Committee looks forward

to hearing from all interested applicants.

Remember: the deadline to apply is Sunday,

June 18, at midnight. Please send your

applications to Pastor Kathryn at

kathryn@starmountpres.org.

home to us again this year for a good ol’

fashioned Kickball game at the park, as well as

other fun family-friendly games on Saturday,

June 10, at 4:30 pm. Following the games from

5-6, we will cross the street to their house (and

backyard) for a cookout! The church will

provide the hot dogs, hamburgers, and kid-

friendly drinks. The request is that you bring a

lawn chair, side dish or dessert to share, and

any other beverages you may want to drink. To

let us know you’re coming (for enough food for

all!), please sign up by going online or

contacting Pastor Kathryn. This would be a

great event to bring another family to – let them

get to know us in a great, relaxed social setting!

Youth & Young Adults

6 Starmount Presbyterian Church

The primary purpose of the Caring Ministries Committee

is to provide support, encouragement and love through

visits, cards and calls to members of our church who are

homebound and facility bound. At times hospital visits

may be made.

Concerns regarding changes in health or care status are brought to the

attention of the church’s Parish Visitor, Rev. Dr. Ken Meeks, Jr. Some of these

concerns may be shared with the committee so that visits may be made or

cards sent. Confidentiality is always maintained.

At Easter, in the fall, and at Christmas flowering plants are taken to

homebound and facility bound members. Upon request communion may be

given at any time to those visited. Also upon request church bulletins are

mailed by Brenda Triplett to the homebound and facility bound. Committee

members are encouraged to deliver updated church directories and Advent

Devotional Booklets (at Christmastime) to those they visit.

In May of each year the committee is responsible for Sentimental Journey

which honors those church members age 80 and over. These members have

contributed (and still do) so much over the years to the church and it is an

honor to recognize them. A catered meal is served and entertainment

provided. Recently on May 21 the 13th annual Sentimental Journey was held

with close to 100 honorees, family members and church members attending.

The Caring Ministries Committee is also responsible for “Knit One, Pray Too”,

the church’s knitting ministry. Funding is provided by the committee. The

committee realizes that there are many care-givers in the church. No

committee can replace the loving care church members extend to one

another. It is the task of the Caring Ministries Committee to ensure that, to the

best of their ability, no one “falls through the cracks.”

Members of the committee are:

Rev. Dr. Ken Meeks, Staff Liaison; Lauren Shook, Session Liaison; Steve

Blackwood, Marcia Carmichael, Stan Dixon, Evelyn Garrison (Secretary), Paige Greeson, Claudel Lassiter, Susanne McIntire, Evelyn Nadler, Ann Parks,

Gwen Ratterree, Barbara Spencer, Lila Tunstall, May Williams (Chair), and Parks Williams

Starmount Community Garden

Come visit the garden! Our group of

gardeners is there every Saturday morning

and we can be found at other times, just

ask one of us to show you around. Our new

pollinator bed is full of flowering plants to

attract beneficial insects to our vegetable

plants. All 12 of the beds have now been

planted and we have harvested some of

the spring vegetables; onions and radishes

to date. The mountain of wood chips in the

parking lot is getting smaller as we refurbish

the paths. We'd love to have you come to

help or just to see what's growing.

Yoga in the News

Yoga has been in the news

this month. Both the AARP

and the Consumer Reports

magazines highlighted the

benefits of yoga for staying

active and avoiding back

pain.

AARP states that the last five years has seen

an 80% increase in yoga participation and

the magazine recommends Iyengar

(alignment based) yoga particularly for

those over 60. Our Starmount yoga classes

are exactly what AARP recommends. We

practice Iyengar based yoga focusing on

moving slowly into poses and emphasizing

correct alignment using props to safely hold

those poses. Check the April/May AARP

magazine for 21 health reasons to do yoga!

The June Consumer Reports approaches

the topic from the viewpoint of back-pain

sufferers. “In February the American College

of Physicians (ACP)…issued new guidelines

for back-pain treatment, saying that the first

line of defense should be nondrug

measures.” The article goes on to say that “It

found that more than 80% of those who tried

yoga or tai chi or had seen a massage

therapist or chiropractor said it had helped

them.”

There are many different causes for back

pain and some may require medical

intervention, but the majority of common,

occasional back pain occurs as “soft tissue”

pain stemming from overstretched or injured

muscles, tendons, or ligaments often resulting

from poor posture, prolonged sitting,

strenuous work, or repetitive action.

Practicing yoga improves posture,

strengthens muscles, releases physical

tightness and emotional stress, and enhances

your body’s ability to recover. Ideally, you

should practice yoga before you are injured

which makes it less likely that you will be

injured. If you come to yoga after an injury,

your yoga instructor can give you

modifications to allow you to move safely.

In yoga we INVITE movement; we never

FORCE an action. The very first of the yamas

is ahimsa which translates to non-violence.

Yoga philosophy embraces “do no harm” –

to yourself or others.

Yoga recognizes that balance of body,

mind and spirit is a goal that takes a lifetime

of practice. Come practice with your friends

in one of Starmount’s peaceful, non-

judgmental, and very supportive yoga

classes. A chair class for women is offered at

11:30 am on Tuesdays. More challenging

classes are offered on Fridays at 9:30 am

and Sundays at 5:30 pm with a new class on

Wednesdays at 7 pm for men, women, and

couples.

June starts summer vacations which

hopefully include some reading. Here are

some newly acquired titles briefly noted for

your reading pleasure:

A Gathering of Larks, Letters to Saint Francis

From A Modern Day Pilgrim by Abigail Carroll.

The author takes readers on a journey of

wonder, through these 40 ‘letters’ to Francis

that are poems, questions and excursion of

curiosity.” Call no. 271.3 Car 2017

Reading John for Dear Life by Jaime

Clark-Soles. “This is a unique commentary

of John’s Gospel by a scholar who calls

upon all the senses of the read. She does

exegesis alongside poetry and guided

meditations. This gospel is meant to touch

your life and Jaime Clark-Soles intends that

to happen, too.” Call no. 226.5 Cla 2016

The Gospel of Simon by John Smelcer. “This

novel retells the story of Jesus through the

experience of Simon of Cyrene who helped

him carry the cross. What comes forth is a

stirring message for turbulent times we are

living through right now.” Call no. F Sme 2016

Practicing Pilgrimage, On Being and

Becoming God’s Pilgrim People by Brett

Webb-Mitchell. “This book is everything you

could want to know about pilgrimage as a

Christian practice. The author is a teacher,

a pastor and a pilgrim who grounds the

practice theologically and then shows us

how to practice prayer as pilgrimage in our

own lives.” Call no. 261.Web 2016

Inside of a Dog, What Dogs See, Smell, and

Know by Alexandra Horowitz. “The Psalms

frequently invite us to experience the whole

of life as an occasion to praise God and

give thanks. This book invites us to do the

same through an exploration of a dog’s

life. The science of smell and sight

becomes an occasion not only to learn

about dogs, but to also learn a fresh way

for humans to experience life in all its

fullness.” Call no. 636.7 Hor 2009

All quotations above are from the March 27,

2017 issue of the Presbyterian Outlook in

section “Spring Books: Briefly Noted”.

ONE CHURCH, ONE BOOK

We will be discussing: Mom &

Me & Mom by Maya

Angelou. “Angelou reveals

the triumphs and struggles of

being the daughter of Vivian

Baxter, an indomitable spirit

whose petite size belied her

larger-than-life presence—a

presence absent during much of Angelou’s

early life. When her marriage began to

crumble, Vivian famously sent three-year-

old Maya and her older brother away from

their California home to live with their

grandmother in Arkansas. The subsequent

feelings of abandonment stayed with

Angelou for years. Angelou dramatizes her

years reconciling with the mother she

preferred to simply call “Lady,” revealing

the profound moments that shifted the

balance of love and respect between

them. Delving into one of her life’s most

rich, rewarding, and fraught relationships,

Mom & Me & Mom explores the healing

and love that evolved between the two

women over the course of their lives, the

love that fostered Maya Angelou’s rise from

immeasurable depths to reach impossible

heights.” From publisher

Attend the discussion on June 20 at 7 p.m.

or June 21 at noon in the church library.

as they can be safety hazards.

This is a great opportunity for any church

group to work as a team. If your group

would like to work a specific date or task,

contact Pat Hall and she can sign you up

with Habitat. The schedule with dates and

tasks is posted on the Mission bulletin board.

If you want to work as an individual, you

can sign up on the Habitat web-site:

www.habitatgreensboro.org or sign up with

me. All volunteers (adults and youth) will

need to sign a Release and Waiver of

Liability. Pat Hall has copies of this form.

If you are interested in providing breakfast

on a Saturday before work starts at 7:30

am, the food will need to be there at 7:15

am. Nothing fancy: doughnuts, bagels, etc.

The age Limits are 14 – 16 Painting or

Landscaping; 16 – 18 tasks that don’t

require power tools, a ladder or being on

the roof. 18 and up they can work on any

task.
