Things We NoticeLisa Beamer on Good Morning America - If you remember, she's the wife of Todd Beamer who said 'Let's Roll!'
and helped take down the plane over Pennsylvania that was heading for Washington , DC back on 9/11. She said
it's the little things that she misses most about Todd, such as hearing the garage door open as he came home, and
her children running to meet him. Lisa recalled this story: I had a very special teacher in high school many years
ago whose husband died suddenly of a heart attack.
About a week after his death, she shared some of her insight with a classroom of students. As the late afternoon
sunlight came streaming in through the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved a few things
aside on the edge of her desk and sat down there. With a gentle look of reflection on her face, she paused and
said, "Class is over. I would like to share with all of you, a thought that is unrelated to class, but which I feel is
very important. Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves. None of us
knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment. Perhaps this is heaven's way
of telling us that we should make the most out of every single day."

Celebrate and Contribute to HUPC's History April 28!
Beginning at 5:30 and ending at 8pm the HUPC family will gather to share stories of their experience of be-
ing part of Christ's ministry. Whether you have been a member for fifty years or just walked in the door you
have a story to tell which is part of the congregation's history.
We will be led by the Rev. Joe Shook, a colleague of Stewart's who values the history of congregations.
Rev. Shook will organize us by decades of participation and have us discuss a series of questions about what
we remember. We will then share our memories.
As a result of our sharing we will gain a sense of our congregation's story which includes everybody. We
will then see how our story connects with God's story as revealed in the Bible. After all, whatever the people
of Hamilton Union have done in Christ's name and whatever has happened to the congregation is part of
God's story.
The really important part of this event is that we recognize that we are part of God's story now and will be in
the years to come!
Rev. Shook will preach at the 10am service to get to know us and to set the stage for the evening.
This event is part of the first part of Stewart's sabbatical. While we are learning about our history Stewart
will be preparing for two weeks of solitude at the Abbey of the Genessee, a Trappist monastery near Roches-
ter, New York. During this time he hopes to gain insight into how his personal story and his partnership with
Hamilton Union are and will be part of God's story.
This gathering is also the Making Disciples class for April .
Young people are especially invited to participate. Long term
members are critically important to supplying our sense of
story.
Feel free to bring any mementos of your participation at HUPC
so we can display them!

Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Thirteen years ago I arrived in Albany Presbytery to serve as your General Presbyter, andwhat a wonderful journey it has been! I have had the privilege of working side by side with a host ofgifted and dedicated people. Together we have met some significant challenges, opened up newavenues of trust and creativity, and shared support and resources - all to empower and equip ourcongregations to be ever more faithful in mission and ministry.
So it is with mixed feelings that I write to tell you that I have accepted a call to a newposition, and will be leaving Albany Presbytery in mid-May. I will become the CEO and Presidentof the Council of Churches of Greater Bridgeport in Connecticut. Its a Council of over 80congregations representing many denominations in Fairfield County who collaborate to provide anetwork of 35 food pantries, after school programs for elementary school children, intervention and
housing for at risk teens, short and long term re-entry services for ex-offenders, and a bridge-building, interfaith program for education, advocacy, and dialogue.
Though I will be using all the skills youve helped me develop as your General Presbyter, it is
certainly a different kind of ministry to which Im now called. I have loved my time in AlbanyPresbytery, and Im grateful for all of it, the ups and downs alike. Now, however, I will be able tonurture that part of me which has hungered for the chance to do ministry in an even more ecumenicalsetting than we enjoy here in Albany, and to be more intentionally focused on social justice andadvocacy.
It has been a joy and an honor to partner with you in this ministry, and I will make the most of
the next two months as I attend to the various projects that are running, tie up loose ends, and try toset up a smooth transition for the presbytery leaders and staff.
In Christ,
Cass L. Shaw

Dear Friends at Hamilton Union,
As seminary lingo goes, I am currently in the middle of my middler year at Louisville Seminary. It has been an
incredible experience so far and I am enjoying the vantage point of having one year behind me and another to
look forward to.
In September, I was invited to share some of my seminary experiences at a Presbyterian Connection retreat, in
which students gathered to discuss our calls to ministry and also practical advice on how to pass our ordination
exams. I shared that now in my second year, Ive decided that Im staying. While I knew God had led me to
seminary, during that first year I still gave myself permission to pack up my bags and change my mind. In fact, I
brought barely enough belongings for the year, thinking this was just an experiment. But when I arrived for my
middler year this September, I brought along my favorite bread pan and cookie sheets and my warmest winter
coat, because it actually does get cold here in Kentucky! Needless to say, when I moved back into my same
apartment this fall, I was coming to stay.
Fortunately, the retreat this fall did help prepare me to pass the two ordination exams I took this January. I sat
for the three-hour polity exam and then became an absolute recluse for five days, immersed in the Book of
Joshua for the Hebrew exegesis exam. My one-room apartment seemed more like a monastic cell as I buried
myself in books by Calvin, Barth and Brueggemann as well as the 2008 PW Horizons Bible Study on Joshua
(which, by far prepared me the most!). Rather than feel like some rote academic exercise, the process of
interpreting the renewal of the covenant at Shechem was a deeply transformative experience. A few weeks
later I preached on a passage in Joshua at my church placement, something I never thought Id be able to do
based on my anxieties about the violence in the book. While Joshua is hardly the most comforting book in the
Bible, I feel more equipped to find Gods message even amidst its troubling content.
Another recent milestone was celebrating my 30th
birthday. One of the surprising blessings I received on thatday was cupcakes during my Presbyterian polity class and a personal prayer led by our professor, Rev. Cliff
Kirkpatrick, former Stated Clerk of the General Assembly. It was one of those full circle moments when I
remembered myself at 19, an anonymous Youth Advisory Delegate at GA, addressing Cliff and the Moderator of
the GA during the open speak portion of one of the plenary sessions. Little did I know that several years later I
would be in a small classroom learning about our denominational polity from one of its leading experts, who
prayed for me on my birthday. At that movement I was reminded how truly connectional our church is!
Whether it is reuniting with other Young Adult Volunteers or developing a friendship with a couple from Malawi
in the church where I am serving, being at Louisville Seminary has brought so many crossroads of my life
together, along with the unique journeys and callings of others. It is good to know that I came to the right place
and I am so grateful to all of you for helping me realize this path!
Easter Blessings to you all!
Peace,
Lynn Hasselbarth

Malawi Mission Trip Update
The Malawi Planning Team is continuing to meet on a monthly basis but travel plans are now fully un-
derway and we have made several concrete decisions that move us from dream to reality- Exciting and a lit-
tle terrifying all at the same time.
First, the travel team is finalized. Elders Keni Banda and Carl Hasselbarth as well as Stewart Pattison
will be traveling to Malawi during the first week in July and will stay for around 3 weeks . They will be flying
out of Toronto Canada on July 2nd and will stay for about three weeks. They have been invited to stay in Chi-
tuka Village at the Banda family compound. We have seen pictures and are confident that these will be sim-
ple yet gracious accommodations and we are delighted that they will be able to stay right in the village.
Keni will act as trip leader and is responsible for making local arrangements which include an overnight stay
in Lilongwe when they arrive and arranging for a car rental for the period of time that the three will be in Ma-
lawi. Carl has taken on the international travel logistics and along with the support team has done some re-
search on the best flights and trip insurance. He will be booking flights for the group.
The rest of the Malawi Planning team has been very active as well. Some Highlights: Gwen Ramage
has done extensive research on what to take, we have designed a medical checklist for the travelers to take
to their doctors in order to get the necessary immunizations . Lynn Hasselbarth designed an interpretive bro-
chure and Peter McKinney and Betty Deitz were very helpful in providing valuable feedback and edits - Bill
Ramage, who is also on the session, reported that the session had approved creating a separate line for the
Malawi Mission trip and approved the request of the Mission Social Witness Committee to put six thousand
dollars from the Mission Trip Challenge Fund in that line. This makes it possible to keep track of expenses
related to this particular trip. In addition, all three travelers submitted successful applications for mission trip
funding through the Albany Presbytery which added an additional 3,000 dollars. We are very grateful to be
part of a Presbytery that uses its resources to support this kind of venturing out in faith What remains is for
the travelers to develop fundraising letters inviting family and friends to be partners in this wonderful spiritual
adventure.
Members of the congregation will NOT be getting these personal mission trip letters. Your overwhelm-
ing generosity last year which established the Mission Trip Challenge fund truly put this long held dream
within reach and already has started the congregation imagining not only Malawi outreach but other mission
trips that we might take closer to home.
However, If you have NOT had a chance to contribute to
The Mission Trip Challenge Fund and/or would like to direct a
donation to the Malawi Trip, Please make checks payable to
Hamilton Union Presbyterian Church with Malawi 2013 in the
memo line of your check.

Protestant Campus MinistryUniversity at Albany
April 2013
Aprils Mission of the Month is the Cornerstone Protestant Campus Ministry at the University of Albany. Here some
information about Cornerstone, courtesy of the Reverent Sandy J. Damhof.
Never before have the words of Bob Dylan rung so true The Times They Are A-Changin! While many of us dread
change or find diff iculty in managing it in our daily lives and our communities of faith, campus ministry, by its very nature,
embraces change. In fact, it embodies change on many levels! And its exciting! In the midst of all the changes,
Cornerstone Protestant Campus Ministry continues to engage in their mission ofbringing students together at UAlbany to
make a difference in the world.
As we seek to live our mission, we find our ministry is expanding and growing both in the quality and quantity of our
programs and opportunities made available for students. We continue to hold on-campus interdenominational worship
every Sunday at 5:00 p.m. followed by Sunday Supper its a great hit! With the assistance of our committed
Congregational Partners, we offer Tuesday night Dinner and Devotions a home cooked meal and an opportunity to
complement it with a unique mini-worship experience. We hold our undergrad Bible Study on Thursday evenings and our
Theology on Tap study group for Grad Students is a great way to bring our older students together. We offer at least
one mission and service projects in the community per month and sometimes that becomes two or more. On two
separate occasions we took busloads of students to Rockaway for Project Sandy: A Day of Service; the events were
described by some students as life-changing, memorable, amazing and more. And in January we sponsored out
week-long mission intensive trip to Austin, TX to rebuild homes destroyed by wildfires.
Our Peer Ministry program has allowed us to continue to build leaders on campus and to equip students with skills they
will carry with them as the leave this community and seek to find their place in the wider world. Now, more than ever, we
are grateful for the support we receive from many different denominations Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Reformed
and Baptist: in addition we have support from over 25 Congregational Partners. The Capital Area Council of Churches is
instrumental in bringing it al l together.
Information about our ministry can be obtained through our web-site: www.ualbanycornerstone.org or contact Sandy
Damhof to have your name added to our weekly list-serv. We also have a Facebook fan page which anyone can join
and allows you to receive updates, view our pictures and get a better sense of what were doing. You can see pictures
and learn more about our ever-changing story!
Thank you for your support of Reverend Damhof and the students at UAlbany this April!

Things We Notice...continued from the front page

Thank You
Presbyterian Women would like to thank the members of the congregation and friendsfor the generous contributions made for our annual Easter basket project.
This year we prepared and delivered 25 Easter baskets. 16 were delivered to theFamily Life Center at the Schenectady City Mission and 9 to the New Faith FamilyCenter at the Capital City Rescue Mission in Albany. Three goodie baskets weregiven to our church staff.
Our sincere thanks to Linda Traylor, who volunteers for the foodpantry, for the many spools of ribbon donated to this projectupon the closing of Classica Florist Shop last year.
As always, the generosity and support received is very muchappreciated.
Her eyes, beginning to water, she went on, "So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, onyour way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn't have to be something
you see, it could be a scent, perhaps of freshly baked bread wafting out of someone's house, or it could be the
sound of the breeze slightly rustling the leaves in the trees, or the way the morning light catches one autumn leaf
as it falls gently to the ground. Please look for these things, and cherish them. For, although it may sound trite to
some, these things are the 'stuff' of life - The little things we are put here on earth to enjoy... The things we often
take for granted."
The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and filed out of the room silently. That afternoon, Inoticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole semester. Every once in a while, I think
of that teacher and remember what an impression she made on all of us, and I try to appreciate all of those things
that sometimes we all overlook. Take notice of something special you see on your lunch hour today. Go bare-
foot. Or walk on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to get a double dip ice cream cone. For as
we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didn't do.
