Called to Worship, Empowered to Serve

Sentimental Journeys

Join us in honoring members who are 80 years and older.

Congregation, family and friends are all encouraged to attend!

Sentimental JourneyLuncheon

Everyone, no matter your age, is encouraged to come and support our most senior

members—those whose faithfulness and labors have built Starmount into the special

place of love and spirituality that it is. The Caring Committee oversees this event.

The luncheon will be catered by Culinary Visions at a cost of $10.00/person for those

under age 80. Gluten free meals will be available. Reservations will be taken

through Friday, May 11. Registrations are available in the Sunday bulletin as well as

on the church website, www.starmountpres.org.

Come and tap your toes to favorite

tunes made popular by Ella Fitzgerald,

Frank Sinatra, and many more

brought to you by local artist Lynne

Goodwin. You are sure to go away

with a fond remembrance of the

songs that made hearts beat way

back when...

Hope to see you there!

CLERGY The book of Psalms is

filled with beautiful poetry

and powerful prayers. I’ll

bet we each have one or

two Psalms that are our

favorites or that we may

even know by heart. One of

the Psalms that I am

particularly fond of is the first one, Psalm 1,

mostly because of the vivid imagery it uses.

“Happy are those who do not follow

the advice of the wicked, or take the path

that sinners tread, or sit in the seat of

scoffers; but their delight is in the law of the

Lord, and on his law they meditate day

and night. They are like trees planted by

streams of water, which yield their fruit in its

season, and their leaves do not wither.” -

Psalm 1:1-3

I love this image of a tree that is

planted by a flowing stream, whose roots

reach deep down and can constantly

drink from its life giving water. This image

serves as a reminder to me to plant myself

close to Christ so that I may drink deeply of

the same “living water” that Jesus promised

to the woman he encountered at the well

(John 4). It reminds me to draw near to

God each and every day through the

regular practices of prayer, worship, and

service to others.

Another reason I am fond of this

image found in Psalm 1 is that it reminds me

of one of my primary tasks here as your

new pastor. I am to plant myself here at

the “Starmount stream” and to drink

deeply of its waters. One of the ways I am

doing this is in our regular conversations,

whether here at the church, out for a cup

of coffee, or in your homes. In these

conversations I am listening. Listening for

the stories that define who you are and

who we are as a congregation. Listening

for those things that you are worried about

or cause you concern. Listening for the

hopes and dreams you have for the future

of Starmount. I have only just begun to

listen and learn from each of you, but I

have already learned so much and I look

forward to our continued conversations.

I am also happy to report that there

are meaningful conversations about the

future of this congregation occurring

among the Session. I have only had two

Session meetings so far, but I have also met

with our Elders in small groups, and I can

already tell that they are a great group!

They have been discussing two tough

topics, budgeting and staffing, in the last

several months, and I am impressed with

the openness and honesty in which they

are approaching these important

discussions. My impressions of the Session as

a whole is that they have a very positive

outlook on the future of this congregation

moving forward, and so do I. There are

many good things already happening here

at Starmount as well as so much potential

that is waiting to be unleashed.

In an effort to unlock the future

potential of Starmount, the Session has

requested some further study on the

strategic direction of the church so that we

might have a clearer picture of what God’s

will for this congregation might be at this

particular time. Therefore, over the coming

weeks, we will be working on how we might

build off of the foundation of the Mission

Study that was completed during the

transition period, and create a focused

strategic plan for the church. More

information about this process will be

forthcoming, but we will certainly need your

input and participation as we together seek

God’s collective calling upon this

congregation.

Your Pastor,

Charlie Lee

May Worship Notes The old joke goes: what are

the seasons in North

Carolina? Fall, Winter, Spring,

and Construction Season.

As we approach the

summer, Starmount will make this joke

become reality – with its education hour!

The program year wraps up on Sunday, May 20.

Beginning Memorial Day weekend (May 27),

education hour before worship will be on its

own summer vacation. During that time, it will

be under construction with great planning

already underway for a shiny and new look

for the fall when we return to our program

year on Kickoff Sunday, September 9.

The Faith Formation committee and its staff

are moving toward taking a summer

vacation from the education hour – during

that time, faith formation will be “under

construction” and return on kickoff Sunday

(September 9) “shiny and new”…this is in

attempts to properly roll out small groups and

other opportunities for learning, including

other classes like The Story that Mary Jane

Conger and Parks Williams are leading so

dedicatedly. Our prayer is that this will allow

for a “summer vacation” for our fine teachers

and others… We will be presenting some other

opportunities throughout the summer

including some Wednesday nights, so please

make sure to look to the newsletter for them!

If you have any questions, please let me

know.

Blessings,

Pastor Kathryn

JUST LUNCH Just Lunch, Starmount’s monthly gathering for

lunch following worship on the third Sunday

of the month, has been a great way for

members to have fellowship, one with

another. This month, all who would normally

plan to attend Just Lunch are encouraged to

attend Starmount’s Sentimental Journey – a

celebration of Starmount’s members who are

80 and older. Due to busy schedules in the

summer, Just Lunch will take a break and

return to the regular calendar in September.

Hope you plan to join the hosts when it

resumes on September 16th!

CHILDREN & FAMILY EVENTS

PARENTS NIGHT OUT! Parents of children up to 5th grade are invited

to drop kids off at the church on Saturday

evening, May 19, from 4:30-7:30 pm for

Parent’s Night Out! Parents can enjoy an

early evening of "adulting" while the kiddos

have fun at church. Drop kids off for play time,

pizza, and a movie. The cost is $10 per child;

must have a minimum of four registered by

May 13 to go ahead with the event. If you

have any questions or would like to register,

please contact Cindy Lee.

YOUTH Last month seven of our youth were

accompanied by three adults and one SPY Kid

on a mission trip to Jacksonville, FL. During our

week in Jacksonville we got to see all different

sides of the largest land-mass city in the US. We

did yard work at a church which builds and

renovates homes for low income families. We

helped pack food at food banks. We

participated in crafts and activities with friends

at a center for adults with developmental

disabilities. We painted walls and organized

storage at a center that works for the

independent living of people with any

disability. And of course, we played on the

beach. Each night we came together and

discussed scripture but also ways in which we

can translate our service back to life at home

in Greensboro. You are encouraged to ask

the youth about their experience both in

Jacksonville and since returning home. They

have some funny stories to share! A huge

thank you to Neil Huffman and Dan Johnson

for their help and guidance on this trip. Look for your May SPY Calendars in your inbox

and around the church! We are getting close

to the end of the school year so let Laura know

of any activities you want to have this summer!

YOUNG ADULTS In the first weeks of May, college students will

be taking their final exams. Our Starmount

students received care packages as a sign of

support from our church family. We invite you

to pray for them during this time and joyfully

receive them as some return home for the

summer.

Guinness and the Good News continues at The

Porterhouse Bar & Grill! If you are a young adult

and would like to enjoy fellowship, food, and

great conversation, meet Pastor Kathryn and

others at 4608 W. Market Street (between

Montrose and N. Westgate Drive) for the

gathering’s next installment on Wednesday,

May 2 at 8 p.m.

ATTENTION GRADUATES! All who are graduating in 2018 from high

school, college and graduate school will be

recognized in worship on June 3. If you (or

your child) are graduating this spring, please

make sure to get the information to Laura

Roberson (resident@starmountpres.org) by

Sunday, May 27. Make sure to mark your

calendars and be in worship on Sunday, June 3,

so we can celebrate your accomplishments!

COLLEGE GRANT OPPORTUNITY The Young People’s Fund, overseen by

the Faith Formation Committee, provides

educational grants to members of Starmount

Presbyterian Church. This is a one-time grant

for incoming college freshmen or graduate

students. If you are interested in applying,

please write a letter or send an email to Pastor

Kathryn at kathryn@starmountpres.org by

Thursday, May 31. In this correspondence

please include your scholarly, leadership, and

service accomplishments.

Youth & Young Adults

6 Starmount Presbyterian Church

______________written by Jennifer Dowler

What training does a certified

yoga instructor require? The key word is “certified.” A

certified yoga instructor has

attended a yoga school which has

gone through a rigorous

application process with Yoga

Alliance and includes a set

curriculum to ensure that their graduates are

well trained. Yes, there are many “yoga

teachers” who have bypassed this requirement

and rely simply on their own experiences. Their

skills may be exceptional, adequate, or

dangerously inadequate. That is why I suggest

that students ask if their instructor is certified

with Yoga Alliance.

To become a certified yoga instructor and

register with the international Yoga Alliance,

candidates attend a certified yoga school for a

minimum of 200 hours of instruction. Those 200

hours include physical instruction in teaching

yoga postures safely and learning their

Sanskrit names, anatomy and physiology,

history and philosophy of yoga, meditation,

comparison of the many schools of yoga,

ethical guidelines for teaching and lifestyle,

how to work with special health needs,

professional ethics and boundaries,

Ayurveda, and a plethora of outside the

classroom reading. Qualified schools also

require observation and supervised

teaching hours with other certified

teachers.

There are at least four schools in Greensboro

offering teacher training in yoga. My 200

hour training was completed with the

Institute of Integrative Yoga Therapy and

consisted of nine months of intense training.

I am currently enrolled at Triad Yoga in the

next phase of training to complete my 300

hour certification. This phase takes two

years of classes and experience. The next

phase is training in yoga therapy and is a

1000 hour course taking years to complete. A committed yoga teacher continues to

learn and improve by taking classes with

other yoga instructors and by expanding

his or her own knowledge by constant

study. Only by constantly learning and

challenging ourselves can we share our

best abilities with our students.

Summer Fellowship

______________written by Cuyler McKnight,

Elder & Committee Chair

Your committee is focusing on all aspects of

stewardship this year. We are considering how

each member of our Starmount congregation

can play a vital part in the growth of our

church. Through time, talents, and tithes,

everyone in the church can contribute to the

health of our church, in every area of our

mission as followers of Christ.

Encouraging our young people to participate

in youth activities and learn to tithe will give

them a firm foundation to grow in Christian

faith. Asking our young adults to actively

participate in our many church activities will

continue the vibrancy of the church for years to

come. Providing our seniors with opportunities

to leave a legacy to the church will help meet

special needs in our witness and mission

programs in the future.

We strongly encourage every member of our

church family to realize the gifts that Christ has

given them, and how each of us can use these

gifts to help make things happen at Starmount!

This is our chance to help the church move into

the future, healthy, enthusiastic, and financially

stable to well represent the body of Christ.

STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE

With the last of winter finally behind us, we are

looking forward to and planning for some fun

fellowship events this spring and summer. Mark

these on your calendar now and plan to have

some fun!

As anticipated, we will begin offering

Lemonade on the Porch after Sunday service

beginning Memorial Day through Labor Day.

The Fellowship Committee will provide the

lemonade and water, but we need two

volunteers each Sunday to help serve. (We are

foregoing cookies because the summer heat

typically melts them too quickly.) All supplies

will be located in the workroom on a cart, and

the ushers will set up the table. A Signup

Genius form will be available beginning May 1st

to sign up to help host.

Come watch our own baseball power hitter

Matt Winters on Sunday, June 10 at 2 PM throw

out the first pitch and then sit back and enjoy

the Greensboro Grasshoppers take on the

Lakewood Blue Claws (PHI) at First National

Bank Field. We will start taking reservations for

our annual baseball outing online May 1 or

through bulletin inserts on May 13 and 20. Tickets

are $8. Please sign up either online, through

the bulletin insert, or let Elaine Gustafson or

Brenda Triplett know of your interest by May 20th

so we can reserve tickets.

July, August, and September fellowship events

are being confirmed and will be shared later

this summer, including our annual Swim and

Tennis Social at Hamilton Lakes. Keep an eye

out for them and for other events for the fall

like Wonderful Wednesdays, Trunk or Treat, and

the Fall Retreat at Montreat (November 9-11).

Men’s Golf Outing - May 18-19 It is that time of year again!! The Starmount

Men’s Golf Outing will carry on its tradition!

We are doing it a bit different this year as we will be

local! Without going into detail, the out-of-town

accommodations and tee times needed were not

available, therefore, it was not realistic to travel this

year. That being said, we are still on for a great

weekend of fun and fellowship. Here is how the

weekend is shaping up: Friday May 18th

Bryan Park Golf Course- the first tee time is 12:18.

Teams TBD. Come out a bit early to swing a club,

putt or grab a sandwich. We will gather at the first

tee to prayerfully support the first group off!

Immediately following the round we will head to

Kurt’s (3909 Hazel Lane) for heavy hors doeurvres

(fancy finger foods!) and cocktails.

Depending on our schedule, the Grasshoppers are

home and all are welcome to head that way

afterward! Saturday May 19th

Bryan Park Golf Course- first tee time is 10:41.

Teams TBD.

After the round, an emergency 9 may be called

for those not having gotten all their bad shots out

of their systems!

6 pm- We will meet at Natty Greene’s Kitchen &

Market (2003 Yanceyville St). We have reserved

the Deck Bar for drinks and dinner. This is a beautiful

indoor/outdoor area that is ours for the evening.

Cost - Best we can figure it will be WAY CHEAPER

than last year since we are local!!! We will get a

budget soon, but think of a worst case scenario

of $100-125 for the two rounds of golf, Friday Night

and Saturday Night. More to follow as we hammer

out details and get numbers set!

What to do next- RSVP TO KURT-NOW!!!! Or at least

by May 1st. Shoot Kurt an email at

k.kronenfeld@aol.com or text at 336-202-7207 to let him know you are playing and participating in after

round festivities!

With the flexibility of golf rounds and being local, we

hope that we can include more guys this year!

Truly the Community, Romans 12,

and How to Be the Church by

Marva Dawn. “This is theology at its

best. Dawn handles the biblical text

masterfully in rendering her

translation, and in communicating

it in such a way that it makes sense,

and she is incredibly thought provoking in the

way she calls believers to live it out... Through

Dawn's rendering, I was challenged by the

biblical truths about community. Often, I

found myself stopping to think something

over, to mediate on a thought, or simply to

let something sink in.” “Many writers have

decried the lack of intimacy and community

in our contemporary culture. Few of them,

however, provide a fully biblical description

of community or give specific methods for its

recovery. Through an intensive study of

Romans 12, Marva Dawn here offers precisely

this kind of practical guidance for building vital

Christian community life.” Reviews from

Amazon.com Call no.227.1 Daw

The Untethered Soul, The Journey

Beyond Yourself by Michael

Singer. “Most human beings are

completely unaware that most of

the thoughts in our mind are

completely untrue. YET, we

believe them, follow them, become

emotionally entangled in them, allow them

to change our mood, allow them to change

our behavior. This book was also freeing in

the sense that I let go of needing others to

behave in a certain way in order for me to

be OK…When I realized I was trying to

manipulate outside circumstances for me to

feel OK in life, the shift needed to be made

within ME for me to be OK in life, total game

changer! I let everyone off the hook and

stepped into unconditional peace and

unconditional joy! You don't need anyone to

change or be different for you to be happy.

It means no-one outside yourself controls

how you FEEL.” Amazon.com review Call no.

History Corner written by Mary Jane Conger, Church Historian

Another big month in the first year

of Starmount Presbyterian Church

in its newly constructed building.

From the written report of the

nominating committee: “Allen

McSween is 37 years old. He was born in Dillon,

S.C. where his father was pastor of the

Presbyterian Church there. He graduated from

Presbyterian College (1938) at Clinton, S.C. and

Union Theological Seminary (1941). In 1940 he

married Miss Irene Dillard. They have 3 sons.

He had a reserve commission in the infantry.

He served as a platoon commander for

six months then transferred to the Corps of

Chaplains. He served as a chaplain overseas for

three years. His service included the North African

campaign and the invasion of Italy. He received

the Legion of Merit for his work on the Anzio

Beachhead. His first and only pastorate before

being called to Starmount was at First Presbyterian

Church at Lincolnton, NC.” May 17, 1953 a call by

the congregation was given to Allen Crews

McSween to become first pastor of the church.

From part of the official call "And that you be

free from worldly cares and avocations, we, on

our part, promise and oblige ourselves to pay you

the sum of $6,000.00 a year in regular monthly

installments, together with free use of manse,

$50.00 a month car allowance..."

May 17th was also The Dedication Service of The

Starmount Presbyterian Church. The brief sketch of

building and organization inserted in bulletin stated:

"The Church is at present fully organized with nine

Elders, ten Deacons; a congregation numbering

nearly 250, Sunday School enrollment of 212; and

Women of the Church 120."

The charter membership roll was closed on May 17,

1953 when the building was dedicated.

STARMOUNT COMMUNITY GARDEN Saturday, April 14, the first workday for the

community garden, was a beautiful day. Bad

weather has hindered our start this season, but

16 gardeners, ages 5 to 85, came out to harvest

kale, spread compost, weed and till beds, plant

seeds, dig a ditch and enjoy fellowship with

each other while we did the chores for the

day. We are at the garden every Saturday,

weather permitting, doing what we can to

grow food for the hungry. Join us, come when

you can.
