Dear Friends in Christ,
As we embark on our journey of discovery and discernment as part of the Vital
Congregations Initiative, I am reminded of an improvisational exercise we did at our
presbytery’s leadership summit last fall. Yes, you read that correctly: Presbyterians doing
improv! It was very different than what you would expect at a presbytery meeting, but it
was illustrative of a key component of Vital Congregations* that will be a be a guiding
factor for us over the next two years.
First, the exercise. Presbytery commissioners were to pair off and imagine they were
planning an outing. Person A would start the exercise by suggesting an idea of how the two
would spend their time together. Person B would then offer a reply, at which point Person
A would reply, and so on. We did this in two rounds. In the first round, Person B was to
respond to Person A’s suggestion by saying, “No, let’s . . .” It might go something like this:
A: Let’s go to the movies.
B: No, let’s stay home and order Chinese.
A: No, let’s go shopping.
. . . and so on.
After a bit, we went to round two where Person B was to respond to Person A’s idea by
saying, “Yes, and . . .” The second round might go like this:
A: Let’s go for a hike.
B: Yes, and let’s pack a picnic!
A: Yes, and let’s get sandwiches from that new place in town!
. . . and so on.

Can you see the difference? The second time around was so much more engaging because
we were affirming one another and building off of the other person’s suggestion. By the
end of this exercise we had some awesome adventures planned! Conversely, the first
round was quite deflating and disjointed—every idea was shot down and nothing got
accomplished in the end. Maybe you’ve experienced something along these lines in real
life!
How does this improv experience relate to the Vital Congregations Initiative? In a nutshell,
the Vital Congregations process will be very much like the “YES, and . . . !” exercise.
Vital Congregations is based on a process called appreciative inquiry, which means looking
at organizational change from the perspective of strengths rather than weaknesses.
Appreciative inquiry is a term that comes from the business world, but in the church we
might think of it as giving thanks to God for who we are, the gifts God has given us, and for
whom God is creating us to be.
The idea is that to get to where you’re going, you begin with what you have and what
you’re good at. You take those strengths and you build off of them. Then you start taking
some steps forward, and eventually you experience transformation.
You’ll be hearing more about Vital Congregations and how you can take part in this
journey of discovery and transformation. Be on the lookout for small group studies that
will be forming in late March/early April. Until then, find a friend and try some improv
yourself—discover first-hand the power of “YES, and . . . !”
Godspeed,

following supplies in short supply: canned
fruits, cereal, chili,
canned meats,
condiments, pasta, and
personal hygiene
items. Collection
barrels will be in the
Fellowship Hall for the
entire month of March.
Thank you for your
continued generosity.

Anna’s Epistle A word about our Lenten Evening services: Taize is pronounced Teh-zay, with the accent
on the 1st syllable. We will be using a slightly different format for our Lenten vespers this
year.
There will be some new music woven into the worship along with Scripture readings and
time for prayer. All of the music comes from our new hymnals which will be here soon.
Some of the music comes from orders of worship at Taize .
Taize is an ecumenical Christian monastic fraternity in Taize , Saone-et-Loire, Burgundy,
France. The order is composed of more than 100 brothers, Catholic and Protestant,
coming from about 30 countries worldwide. It is an important site for Christian pilgrimage,
drawing over 100,000 young people from all over the world who come for prayer, Bible
study, worship, fellowship, and communal work.
We will also be singing “You Are Mine” by David Haas. You may have heard the Peninsula
Men's Gospel Choir sing it. Haas is a composer of contemporary Catholic music. We
recently sang his setting of the Beatitudes: “Blest Are They.” He has often collaborated with
Marty Haugen who wrote the Holden Vespers we have used for our Lenten worship for the
past several years.
I now have a new favorite hymn: “The Lord Is My Light” by Lillian Bouknight. Very little is
known about her. She died in 1990, was an African-American from North Carolina, and was
a soloist and composer active in the Pentecostal Holiness movement. We will be singing
this hymn at the close of our service each week.
Please come to the soup suppers and join us in Lenten worship. You will be inspired and
refreshed by our time together and with the Lord.
Blessings,
Anna

Notes from the Field
The Mission Committee
Meet Christi and Jeff Boyd, mission co-workers in Congo and
supported through the FPCPA Missions budget. Though
trained as a physical therapist, Christi has longstanding
experience bringing people together to address root causes of
hunger and poverty. Having completed 13 years as facilitator
for the Joining Hands Initiative in Cameroon, she has
particular expertise in building bridges of solidarity that
connect people to tackle problems of a globalizing world.
Christi’s efforts on behalf of the marginalized are rooted
firmly in her faith. “Through the words of Jesus and the prophets, God consistently defends
the cause of the poor, vulnerable and oppressed,” she says. “The Scriptures call us to follow
in their footsteps.”
Jeff, a former math teacher, brings to his duties as regional liaison more than two decades
of experience as an educator in the United States, Pakistan, and Africa. Education is a
priority for the partner churches with whom he works. Since arriving in Africa in 1990, the
Boyds have lived in Tanzania and Cameroon, and they are now in Congo for the second
time. As Christi puts it, “We discerned that the Author of all good things indeed had not yet
finished the Congo chapter of our life in mission service.”
Jeff and Christi feel a strong call to serve in Africa. Christi earned her physical therapy
degree from Academie voor Fysiotherapie in the Netherlands, the country of her birth. Jeff,
a native of California, holds a bachelor’s degree from Whitworth College and a master’s
degree from California State University. Christi and Jeff are members of Crescent Hill
Presbyterian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, and are the parents of three grown children,
Matthias, Salome, and Naomi.
