Stein Hospice LifeCourse at Firelands Church

The LifeCourse is a series of classes that explore the

feelings and philosophies of the death and dying process.

This three-week, two-day-a-week course will be held at

Firelands the first three Mondays and Wednesdays in

May (6, 8, 13, 15, 20, 22) from 5:30 to 8:30 PM. This

course is designed to prepare people to be hospice

volunteers—to spend time with patients making their

final life journey—but is also open to those who simply

want to learn more about dealing with death and dying.

For more information or to register, contact The

Volunteer Department at 1-800-625-5269 or

[email protected].

Watch Us Blossom A Master Gardener recently visited

Firelands and was full of amazement

and praise for all the gardens we have.

She remarked, “I’ve never seen a small

church with this many gardens. This

church must be truly loved by its

people.” She is right.

Last year, with the financial

backing, volunteer labor and

enthusiastic support of the

congregation, the landscape committee worked

to transform our grounds into something special.

Spring is finally here and you will begin to see the

results of the many flowering shrubs which

were planted around the church. We hope

you are pleased.

We have plans to continue this year and we are anxious

to get started. (One of the fruits of The Holy Spirit is

patience, right? We have been given a double dose of

patience while waiting for good weather to arrive!) Most

of our efforts so far have been devoted to trying to do

something about the water drainage issues in the back.

With all the rain, it has almost returned into its Black

Swamp origins. A bog garden might be in our future!

We are gratified with the response to the special offering

to help us maintain our landscape and purchase much

needed plants for the church front garden beds. For all

our returning snowbirds, the green LOL envelopes (Love

our Landscape) are still available if you wish to donate.

Many thanks for all your support.

Walloping Walleye! Walleye Wishes for the Cure. This will be our project to

raise money for the American Cancer Society. (The

flamingoes are on hiatus this year!)

We have ten wonderful wooden walleye to paint

(magnificently crafted by Bill Umlauf). Call Kay McIntosh

if you want to help paint these fund raising fish! Then we

can start to surprise our friends with a Walleye Drop into

their front yards.

Women’s Retreat! Feeding Our Hungers

Fri., 6/21 – Sat., 6/22 Our Lady of the Pines

It’s a truism that we often eat in an attempt to satisfy

other hungers in our lives—for excitement, for meaning,

for relationship, for freedom from anxiety, for love, for

God. At this retreat we will explore the hungers in our

lives ... and ways to fulfill them other than with

chocolate! Pastor Jeanne, who has led well more than a

dozen women’s retreats, will lead the program.

We’ll begin checking in at Our Lady of the Pines around

5:00 Friday afternoon, have dinner together, and begin

our program that evening. Saturday will include more

program, worship, “free” time, breakfast and lunch. We’ll

end around 4:00 that afternoon.

The cost of the retreat is $70; a $30 deposit is due by

the beginning of June. Checks (payable to Firelands

Church) can be given to Connie Brand or sent to the

church office. This amount covers breakfast and lunch on

Saturday and an overnight stay in a private room with

shared bathroom. (Private toilet facilities are available

for an additional $5.00.)

If you have questions or would like to help with the

retreat, contact Connie (419-351-0533 or

[email protected]).

Preschool Tidbits Lectionary Texts for May

The month of April was filled with business: April Fools Day, April

Showers, Book Fair, six Birthdays, Spring Animals, Picture Day, The

Library Lady, Bugs, Earth Day, Plants, and Flowers ... all of which were

worked into math, social studies, science, and language arts areas.

We have more children than ever and some days wonder where they are

all coming from!

We are currently getting ready for the Mother's Tea and the end of year

program and graduation.

Our students did extremely well on the Kindergarten screening. The

scores averaged in the lower to upper 90th percentile—one having a score

of 99%. They did us proud!

Karen, Rachel, Lauren, Colleen , Breann and Eva

Church Growth News Welcome back to our Snowbirds! And Welcome to

Guests and Visitors!

The Growth Committee is focusing on making sure we

are making it easier for people to find us and get to

know us better. We don’t have to focus on being

welcoming because we really are excited to meet new

people. We greet newcomers because we are glad they

are here and we are interested in them as fellow

worshipers.

All are welcome. All are loved. All are God’s children.

Welcome to Firelands Presbyterian Church.

Celebrating Earth Day

May 2013

PASTOR’S PAGE

The Great Prayer of Thanksgiving:

What’s Up with That?

I get letters and emails, periodically, from folks in the

PC(USA)’s Office of Theology, Worship and Education

suggesting that congregations move to including

communion in their worship more frequently. Even

(gasp) once a week!

When I get those, I think, Fine, check that one off the

list. I’m not sure exactly when Firelands first

started celebrating the Lord’s Supper

every week, but I do know that when I

first came here and asked a number

of people what the congregation’s

“sacred cows” were—what

simply could not be changed—

the answer I got almost every

time was “weekly

communion.”

It’s part of the rhythm of this

congregation, this weekly

gathering around the Table,

this being fed each week.

And I’m glad for it. It feeds

me, as well, and I think it

brings us together in ways

that we don’t really begin to

understand.

I know, though, that some

people have wondered about

that huge long prayer that

precedes the actual breaking

of the bread and sharing of the cup: The

Great Prayer of Thanksgiving. (I know that before

I went to seminary, I had no idea there was any

structure to this prayer: I just thought the minister

rambled on for an awfully long time!)

The Book of Common Worship (Louisville, KY:

Westminster/John Knox, 1993) notes that thankful

praise has been central to the sacrament of the Lord’s

Supper from the earliest centuries of the church—that

“thanksgiving is so important to this sacrament that it

has been given the name of Eucharist (from the ...

Greek word eucharistia, meaning thanksgiving).

The Great Prayer of Thanksgiving has three parts,

usually directing us to be thankful for the three persons

of the Trinity.

In the first part “we praise God for all God’s mighty acts

in the past, present, and future. God is praised for

creating all things, the providence of God, establishing

the covenant, giving the law, the witness of the

prophets, God’s boundless love and mercy in spite of

human failure, the ultimate gift of Christ, and

[sometimes] the immediate occasion or festival”

(BCW 42).

This is followed by the Sanctus, which we

sometimes sing and sometimes say

together. This is when we join with “choirs

of angels and the faithful of every time

and place,” as we often hear, to adore the

triune God: Holy, holy, holy Lord.

In the second part of the prayer, we

recall and give thanks for Christ’s

work of redemption: his birth, life,

and ministry, his death and

resurrection, the promise of his

coming again, and the gift of the

Sacrament. This is followed

by a recited or sung

acclamation of faith,

sometimes called the Memorial

Acclamation, “in which we joyfully

acclaim Christ who died, is risen, and

will come again” (BCW 43).

The third part of the prayer has us calling on the Holy

Spirit to draw us “into the presence of the risen Christ,

and to make the breaking of the bread and sharing of

the cup a communion in the body and blood of Christ,

that [we] may be nourished with Christ’s body, made

one with the risen Christ, united with all the faithful in

heaven and earth, kept faithful as Christ’s body,

representing Christ in ministry in the world, in

anticipation of the fulfillment of the kingdom Christ

proclaimed” (BCW 43).

At the end of the prayer, we praise the triune God, often

with the words “God in Community, Holy in One.”

May 2013

Stated Session Meeting Highlights for April 9, 2013 Pastor Jeanne Gay opened the meeting with devotions

and distribution of prayer cards.

Treasurer’s Report (Bill Umlauf) and Financial

Stewardship (Alison Falls): Bill noted that the

General Fund, although $2461.under budget for 2013

due to lower revenues, is not a great concern

considering how early in the year it is. Pre-school is

showing a profit. Our account for WPCR is strong

enough to provide radio coverage through this May.

Our current bank, PNC, is closing, so our banking will be

moved to National Bank of Ohio (NBOH). Checking

account signers approved will be Bill Umlauf, John

Madison, Alison Falls, and Dave Moore. Grants of

$5500.for our Food Pantry received during March and

April bring the account total to $7919. Dave Wahlers

and Harold Brown will perform the 2012 FPC Operational

Audit.

Old Business: “Session Calling,” our telephone

outreach to each member, is beginning and should be

completed by the end of April.

New Business: Session will develop a “grant” program

whereby the various committees of Firelands Church

may request funds needed for projects. The committee,

chaired by Alison will include Dave Moore, Pastor Jeanne

and Karen Coffin. A “Reserves Adequacy Assessment”

will be performed so Session knows exactly how much

cash we can afford to make available to committees and

how much must be kept in reserve for emergency

repairs. John Madison agreed to chair the nominating

committee to prepare for the retire- ment of Elders and

Deacons this coming fall.

Christian Growth (Karen Coffin): Outreach projects

on Internet: WPCR broadcasts, web site and Facebook

continue to surpass expectations with growing numbers.

Computer listeners (407) tuned in to our Easter Sunday

broadcast. Marsha Bordner and the Pre-school

committee will concentrate efforts on how the church

can better serve families of the children in this

important local mission. We will participate in “Welcome

Doors of Ottawa County,” a project of Leadership

Ottawa County, designed to encourage travel and

exploration of businesses and points of interest in our

area. Kay McIntosh has very graciously volunteered to

make a very special “door” for us.

Property/Landscape Management (John McIntosh,

Karen Coffin): County Building Inspector, David

Driggs, found no plumbing problems in our water supply

but noted that all commercial building are required to

have back-flow preventers. Cost is around $400. plus

installation. Several drainage issues are being

exasperated by heavy spring rains. An outdoor work

party is planned for May 5th. John Vardyan removed the

tree next to the Church Office and will get cost

estimates to refurbish outdoor A/C area.

Mission (Joyce Jagucki): Our One Great Hour of

Sharing Lenten offerings totaled $325. The American

Cancer Society daffodil sale raised $180.(thanks Lori

Madison). Our ongoing outreach programs are: Second

Sunday Sack program, Summer Lunch Program, Church

of the Nazarene monthly suppers and the coat collection

for Salvation Army for Christmas distribution. Currently,

we are collecting Baby Kits for the Disaster Assistance

program of the Presbyterian Church. The list of needed

items will continue in May’s “Trumpet.” We will host a

Mothers’ Day Tea for the pre-school in May. The

memorial service for Bud True will be at Firelands on

May 18 at 1 p.m. Pastors Bob Butcher and Jeanne will,

together, officiate at the service.

Preschool (Marsha Bordner): This committee has

been reorganized; it now includes the chair or member

of the Financial Stewardship and Mission Committees,

the Director of the Preschool, the accountant, the pastor

ex officio, and the Chair of the Preschool Committee. In

August of each year the Preschool Committee will review

and recommend a Preschool budget for approval by

Session and will review and approve any major changes

in policy or operations as proposed by the Director. In

April, the Committee will review and recommend fee

changes for the upcoming fall as appropriate, review the

current state of the budget for the remainder of the

year, review the upcoming summer program, review

salaries and make adjustments as appropriate, and

review and approve any major changes in policy and

operations as proposed by the Director.

Marsha also indicated that several other actions have

taken place with the Preschool. Evaluations will occur in

May (at the end of the school year), a new evaluation

form will be used, and the Preschool Manual has been

updated.

Agenda items at the Committee’s April meeting included

the following:

• Fees will remain the same in 2013-14, as we are in

the middle of fee structures within the local area.

• Karen has made two new hires as aides for the

program.

May 2013

Session Minute Highlights, from p. 6

• Rachel will be having a baby in the fall.

(Congratulations!) Karen and Lauren will cover

during the time that Rachel is off.

• Budget. The Preschool is doing well thus far in the

year in terms of revenue and expenses.

• Summer Program—The parents have been asked

this summer to sign a letter of intent concerning the

number of days their children will attend; this letter

commits them to pay a certain amount each week.

At this time, 23 parents have made this

commitment.

Worship and Music (Jack Combs): Recorded sermons

on WPCR radio are being brought up by large numbers

of listeners at each report we get. We should explore

ways to learn more about the demographics of these

listeners and its other implications.

Report of the Pastor (Jeanne Gay): Pastor Jeanne’s

pleurisy persists but she is slowly improving.

Prayer concerns and prayer by Pastor Jeanne closed the

meeting.

Extraordinary! Firelands Bible Study at Magruder

Pentecost marks the end of Eastertide in the church and

the beginning of Ordinary Time. Ordinary Time isn't about a particular time in Jesus' life; it's about our lives, our discipleship. I think of it as Where the Rubber Meets the Road Time. What an appropriate time, then, for us to start up our summer Bible Study again, this time at Magruder Hospital's dining area, every Wednesday at 10:00 a.m.,

starting May 22. As in past years, we'll grab cups of coffee and something to eat if we want, and we'll study and discuss the Lectionary scriptures for the coming Sunday. Bring a Bible if you wish, but handouts of the texts will be

provided. Join us, and bring a friend!
