From Fr. Theo Sticky Faith: What Can Parents Do
To Help Teenagers Have Faith That Lasts? – from a Huffington Post Article by Kara Powell Imagine a photo of high school seniors who have been attending a
local church in our community. Now take a red marker and place an
ʺXʺ over almost half of their faces.
According to a handful of research studies, those
students with a red ʺXʺ represent the almost 50
percent of youth group graduates who drift
from faith and from the Church after high
school. As a parent or grandparent, what can
you do to help teenagers have faith that lasts? For six years, a team of
faculty and graduate students from Fuller Seminary conducted the
College Transition Project to find that answer. Conducted by the Fuller
Youth Institute (FYI), the project included qualitative and longitudinal
quantitative studies of 500 Christian youth group members during the
first three years of college following high school graduation.
The data, as described in a new book called ʺSticky Faithʺ (see
end‐note) authored by Kara Powell and Dr. Chap Clark, suggests that
parents:
1. Share verbally about your own faith journeys. Stop lecturing your
kids or interviewing them; instead, share organically about your
own faith. Use time in the car, recent current events, or dinner
discussions as a chance to share how your own faith is growing, or
ways that your faith impacts your everyday life. Include both a
sense of your present religious experiences and insights as well as
highlights of your faith journey in the past.
2. Ask your children who they will turn to when they have doubts.
Doubt in and of itself isnʹt toxic; itʹs unexpressed doubt that turns
toxic. One of the repeated themes in the research was the

importance of parents giving their kids space to wrestle with
tough faith questions until they pinned down their own
answers. Giving permission for independent thought leads to
stickier faith.
3. Connect your sons and Tragically, when students with that
view of their faith fail, their feelings of guilt cause them to run
from their faith and the church, just when they need them the
most. A faith that sticks is one that is based not primarily on
behaviors, but on inner life change.
4. Reinforce that faith is bigger than any moral failure or
mistake. The students in the Sticky Faith study tended to view
their faith as a list of behaviors, akin to what Dallas Willard
calls the ʺgospel of sin management.ʺ Tragically, when
students with that view of their faith fail, their feelings of guilt
cause them to run from their faith and the church, just when
they need them the most. A faith that sticks is one that is
based not primarily on behaviors, but on inner life change.
5. Talk to high school juniors and seniors now about life after
college. Only one in seven youth group graduates felt their
faith was ready for what they faced after high school. As part
of practical discussions on issues such as managing money
and time, help high school upperclassmen plan a schedule
that will include church attendance. 40 percent of college
freshmen report difficulty finding a church, so help them
make the connection before arrival for a smoother and stickier
transition.
At Christ Church we don’t have many teens at the moment, not
older ones anyway. But things change overnight it seems, and
there’s a large pod of younger tweens on the way. And aren’t
these recommendations actually good for faith formation at any
age? Itʹs never too early to start building Sticky Faith in your
kids...or for yourself!
**The term sticky faith is defined by researchers at FYI as faith that is
“part of a student’s inner thoughts and emotions and is also external-
ized in choices and actions that reflect this faith commitment.” It is a
faith that “celebrates God’s specific care for each person . . . in the
global and local community of the church” and that “shows marks of
spiritual maturity but is also in the process of growth.” It is this kind
of sticky faith that we want to develop in students, because it is this
kind of faith that becomes a way of life, capable of influencing people’s
everyday decisions as well as their interactions with the world around
them.
ECW Fall Project The ECW will be putting together

Steve Charleston on prayer:
Like most people, when I pray, I imagine my words
and thoughts to be ascending, going up to God who is
somewhere above me. But prayer is as horizontal as it
is vertical, not only because the presence of God is
everywhere around us, but also because our prayers
for one another flow out to surround us with a sacred
energy, an energy of healing and compassion. Prayers
rise and descend and encircle. They are in all places at
all times, a living hope constant in our lives, a force of
life that knows no barrier nor boundary, but touches
even the most distant need.
We are never outside the reach of prayer. No matter
who we are, no matter what we do, we are always
within the circle of someoneʹs prayer. We live each day
in this field of prayer. We sleep within its embrace, we
rise within its blessing. Somewhere, everyday,
someone of some faith is praying in a way that
includes us. They are asking the holy, by whatever
name they know, to have mercy, to heal, to protect
others. We walk within that prayer without even
knowing it, without ever recognizing its source in the
person who prayed it. In the same way, our own
prayers reach the most distant stranger, until none of
us are ever beyond the hope we share.
Episcopal Convention Report By Bill and Becky Foot
The 158th Convention of the Episcopal Church in
Minnesota (ECMN) was held on September 18‐19 at
the River’s Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud with
the theme corresponding to the Mission Opportunity
2016: “Engaging God’s Mission Through Engaging All
Creation.” Both the sermon (a.k.a. keynote address) at
the Saturday morning Eucharist and the breakout
sessions followed this theme. The speaker was The
Reverend Canon Sally Bingham, President and
founder of Interfaith Power and Light, through which
she has inspired people to put their faith into action
through energy stewardship. This includes everything
from conserving energy in your own home to the
promotion and use of renewable energy sources such
as wind and solar to divestiture, i.e. not investing in
companies that do not demonstrate good energy
stewardship.
Two of the breakout sessions were particularly
interesting as they contained information that might
be useful to our parish. One had to do with communi‐
ty solar gardens and the incentives from Xcel if an
organization were to become attached to one. The
other was a presentation by EnerChange, a company
that serves non‐profits such as churches with energy
assessments and advice on how to keep energy costs
down. As the parish is currently taking bids on a new
boiler, we have passed this information directly to the
senior warden and the property committee.
In the business meeting held Friday evening, elec‐
tions to the Standing Committee, the Commission on
Ministry, and Trustees were held and completed with
one ballot. Two resolutions were passed, one in
support of the U.S. Commission on Indian Boarding
Schools and Intergenerational Trauma and one on
preventing gun violence. The full text of these resolu‐
tions can be found at the convention web site or in the
hard copy of the convention booklet which we have
left in the church office. There were several
amendments to canons 800‐805. These pertain to
Page 4 Christ Church—A faith community, alive in Christ October 2015
congregations and property transactions. The
language has been updated and simplified. Finally,
there were reports on the School for Formation, youth
camps, the Episcopal Commons, and the 78th General
Convention in which the Minnesota delegation
played an active and notable part. More information
about these can also be found at the ECMN web site.

Capital Campaign Update By John Blue, Senior Warden
It was exciting news earlier last month when we
received the estimate to replace the boiler and upgrade
the church’s heating system and found the cost to be
much lower than we had anticipated. We have
received the bid for the cost of a covered walkway to
make the church truly ADA complaint. This bid is also
exciting news, since it will allow us to replace the
boilers, build a covered walkway and stay within the
amount that the feasibility study showed we should be
able to raise. Your Vestry has reviewed the bids and
are confident that we will be able to move forward.
The next step in the process is to continue to work
with the architect to develop drawings that will show
how the walkway will look. This will take a few weeks
to complete. The drawings are a very important part of
this process which will give us an idea how the
completed project will look. We are planning to start
the Capital Campaign later this year or early next year.
This will allow the parish members to have the
information they need to consider participation in the
campaign. We had planned to combine the Capital
Campaign and Stewardship Drive, but since the
Capital Campaign is starting later than we had hoped,
the Stewardship Drive will be separate. Thank you for
your patience as we go through this deliberative
process. If you have any questions please feel free to
contact me, Junior Warden Jon Danielson, or any
Vestry member.

Christian Education We have successfully completed two weeks of
Sunday school and have 21 children registered,
hooray! As expected in this age of dual income homes,
multiple homes, sports and busy schedules the
numbers fluctuate each Sunday. Parents please know
we understand and are happy to see your child’s
smiling faces whenever they can make it.
Children may be dropped off for Sunday school as
early as 8:45 a.m.. There is a welcoming area with
books, games, crafts, table and chairs. Sunday school
begins at 9 a.m. with all the children singing and a
discussion of what to look for during church and what
it stands for. We were blessed with Everett’s Baptism
in September, the children were asked to look for wa‐
ter, the sign of the cross put on the baby’s forehead
and the color white. The next Sunday the Children
were asked to look to see when Father Theo made the
sign of the cross during the service. The group then
splits into two; 3‐6 year olds and 6‐12 year olds. An
Acolyte is sent up to bring us to the church after the
sermon at approximately 10:20 a.m., so we may
receive communion with our congregational family.
Children can be picked up at 10:20 a.m. in the Sun‐
day school room (2nd floor Eke room) or after the 10
a.m. service in the Parish Hall (1st floor door off of 4th
street) at approximately 11 a.m. There is coffee hour
after church in the Parish Hall with lemonade and
treats—all are welcome. Nursery is available for
infants up to 2 years old. The nursery is open from
8:45 a.m. through the end of the 10 a.m. service.
A BIG thank you to Margo, Annette, Meg, Angela,
Kris and Marissa for teaching, substituting and
assisting! Sunday school would not happen without
the amazing volunteer work these women have given
the children and our church! Thank you to Sharon and
Ruth for working in the nursery with our littlest
congregation members.
Father Theo helped us find a curriculum for the 1st
through 6th grades called Seasons of the Spirit. Seasons
of the Spirit provides lectionary‐based resources for
worship, Christian education, and ministries of
serving. A majority of our Sunday school children are
in this age group, they have been engaged and inter‐
ested in all that they have learned. Follow this link for
one page introduction to Seasons of the Spirit http://
www.seasonsonline.ca/files/2011‐Intro‐to‐Seasons.pdf
This year we are using a new curriculum called
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd for our younger
members. This curriculum focuses on the religious
potential of 3‐6 year olds working in a planned space
called the Atrium (see page 5). Catechesis of the Good
Shepherd is a Montessori‐based Christian formation
program where children can grow in their relationship
with God through engagement in scripture and
liturgy. Our primary beliefs are that God and the child
have a unique relationship with one another and that
the growth of this relationship should be assisted by
the adult but is directed by the Spirit of God within
the child.
It has been a fun two weeks for us in the Atrium. The
Atrium is a little bare right now as it is growing with
us as the year progresses. The children have learned
grace and courtesy in the Atrium by walking slowly,
talking quietly and respecting
the items found in the Atrium
and each other’s space. They
also did naming work with
the Alter 1 presentation.
Practical Life work helps
children learn fine motor skills

book, Women of the Bible.
preparation for Baptism. In our context, the Catechesis
is the way that children become prepared to partici‐
pate fully in Christian community.
Catechist – The Catechist is an adult who guides
the children. This person is not the teacher in the
traditional sense. Instead she prepares the space
where God and the child can come together. She
creates materials, presents them to the child, and then
wonders with the child about God.
Atrium – Atrium is another word from the early
Church. It was the name of the room‐sized porch or
entryway into the Church where people new to the
faith were instructed for Baptism. In the Catechesis of
the Good Shepheard, the Atrium is the room that is
prepared for the children. It is not a classroom.
Instead it is a place of religious experience,
community, and worship.
Materials – Many kinds of materials are found in the
Atrium. They are often handmade, and are usually
beautiful. The most important thing about the
materials is that they are closely linked to the bible
and liturgy. Children work with the materials to med‐
itate on the stories of our faith and to reflect on the
traditions of our worship. Examples of materials
found in the Atrium include small figures of Mary
and the angel for the Annunciation, water, yeast and
flour for the Parable of the Leaven, and a small
Baptismal font and Paschal candle to explore Holy
Baptism.
Presentation – A presentation is made by the Cate‐
chist for the children. The Word of God is proclaimed
through a scripture reading or a description of an as‐
pect of the liturgy and a demonstration of how to use
the associated materials.

EconoFood Receipts Christ Church has taken on a money project to bene‐
fit our Sunday School and Youth program. You can
help by saving your EconoFood grocery receipts.
We need to collect $150,000 in receipts, and when we
reach that amount, $1,000 will be given to the pro‐
gram.
So far, we have collected $74,000, so you can see we
have a way to go. There is a box on the buffet in the
parish hall for you to drop your receipts in.
Will you help us to reach our goal?
