Summertime

―Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two

most beautiful words in the English language.‖

― Henry James

Ah, to be a child again during summer! I see my six-year-old granddaughter

Annie and I smile. Though she enjoyed school, she definitely has been enjoy-

ing summer—even before school was over! Now that she has grown a bit, as

well as gained confidence, she is a fish in our pool. She could/does live in it

all day. Always up for being a child again myself, I enjoy the pool also and

sometimes we play for hours: swimming, playing games, wrestling. We have such fun! The next day,

though, my muscles say, ―Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash!‖ While that’s depressing

enough, I then realize that quote itself (from the movie ―Top Gun‖) is 30 years old!

While it would be nice to have that physical resilience of youth, it is the innocence that I miss. I could recount

to you all the tragic and gloomy news around us, but you know it already. You can’t miss it. And while it can

be depressing at times, the irony is that it can also accentuate the joys in our lives and how very precious they

are. You don’t take for granted the blessings that you have.

And as People of the Way, we have the assurance of our faith. We know that God is with us when we walk

through the darkest valley and when our cup overflows, when we are all alone and when we are together with

loved ones. Jesus told us, ―Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid‖ (John 14:27b).

The Spirit can fill us with God’s peace if we let it.

That peace, though, is not so we can blissfully ignore the troubles of the world, but to allow us to engage in

addressing them. It allows us to go forward with hope and faith even when it seems forlorn for ―faith is the

assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen‖ (Heb. 11:1).

Because we need to engage in the world. We need to ―gird up our loins‖ (literally, to tie up one’s loose tunic

from around one’s legs so that you can move unencumbered for hard work or battle). God calls us to proclaim

the good news of his saving grace for all and to counter hate, fear, and selfishness with love, hope, and self-

lessness. It can be a challenge, but that’s why we are called to ―fight the good fight of the faith‖ (1 Tim.

6:12a).

As for Annie, I am not envious of her innocence, but rather delight in it as long as I can for ―summer will end

soon enough, and childhood as well‖ (George R.R. Martin, ―A Game of Thrones‖). For now we have water

gun fights in the pool, try to eat ice cream cones before they melt all over our hands, and pick flowers to give

to Mommy—to laugh and to love with the zest of youth. After all—it’s summertime!

Shalom,

Summertime When the Living is Easy

Most of us probably recognize these words from George Gershwin’s beautiful ―Summertime.‖ And we certainly can ac-

knowledge a yearning for a season when living is easy for all people. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a time of year when we as Christians did not have responsibility for others? When we could just kick back, relax and only think of our-

selves. Unfortunately, that is not the way it works. Hunger, homelessness, suffering and overwhelming needs exist

through all seasons.

We at Stone Church have made a serious commitment to support a variety of vital and varied organizations and activities

such as Church World Service (including our contributions for Blankets Plus Sunday), Hope House, the Country Pantry,

Presbyterian Church USA, One Great Hour of Sharing, the Neighborhood Center and so on. Additionally, our Fair Trade Shoppe supports craftspeople, artisans and grass-roots efforts all over the world through its purchase and resale of truly

marvelous items.

Our commitment is partly achieved through our giving of our selves, of our time and energy through hands-on involve-

ment, whether at the Country Pantry, at Hope House, at the Fair Trade Shoppe and the Farmers Market or through other

venues. The other piece of our mission effort is the financial resources and materials we donate. These donations enable

us as a church community to make more of a difference, to be more engaged in sharing and appreciating the bounty we each enjoy.

As we enjoy this lovely season, please remember that, for far too many, living isn’t easy at anytime. Please continue making donations of money or supplying requested items for the Country Pantry. Don’t forget to volunteer to work or to

donate toiletries, paper products and other personal care necessities at Hope House. Support our Deacons with your loose

change. Enjoy your summer, but remember that the delights of summertime truly don’t insure easy living for all.

Historical Period Revisited — A Glimpse into Stone Church’s Past

Rev. Samson Occom 1723-1792

Spiritual Leader to Brothertown Indians 1785-1792

Before I leave the early beginnings of this settlement led by Moses Foote in the spring of 1787

and the first worship service held in Moses Foote’s home in April of 1787 of the Congrega-tional faith, there was a famous Indian convert an ordained Presbyterian minister by the name

of the Rev. Samson Occom already living not far from this settlement. A Mohegan Indian by

birth, he studied along with Samuel Kirkland at the Moor’s Charity School in Lebanon, CN.

Rev. Kirkland began ministering to the Oneidas just prior to the arrival of Rev. Occom’s new assignment.

Rev. Samson Occom had for several years advocated bringing the first ―settlers‖ here—the English-speaking Brothertown Indians who were remnants of seven different tribes from both

New England and Long Island who had been displaced by the first white immigrants to this

country. The Brothertown Indians were farmers and businessmen who were granted lands by the Oneidas and New York State in and around Deansboro in 1774 but didn’t arrive until 10

years later. They formed a New England town type government and built a school in 1788 that

was also used as a church. By 1813, this group had 2000 acres of cleared land under cultivation and well advanced in

agricultural knowledge.

I include Rev. Occom in our history because he was called upon to preach, attend funerals and solemnize marriages for

some of our white settlers. On Octoer 9, 1787 in his journal he writes about calling on Mr. Jones and his wife who had been sick for some time. From there he went to Capt. Foote’s house and spoke to seventy odd persons in the meeting on

John XXI: 22 noting the great solemnity among the people. In September of 1789 he visited Col. Timothy Tuttle’s newly

built frame house where he delivered a sermon and prayed with them. You recall Clinton’s permanent minister didn’t arrive until 1791.

Rev. Occom had no sectarian prejudices and he was content to preach any place there was an audience. All received him

gladly. He won the respect and affection wherever he went in the different settlements. He carried with him in his pocket a copy of his own ―Hymns and Spiritual Songs‖ that he had authored. Because of his love of singing, he would lead the

people in praise. For the young people he had a game called ―Christian Cards‖ with a set for both the Old and New Tes-

tament containing selected scripture verses written on these cards. The youth would read the cards and Rev. Occom then would make comments on the scriptures—a teaching moment I suspect.

Sadly the Brothertown Indians lost their spiritual leader when he died July 14, 1792. The Rev. Samuel Kirkland preached

for Sam Occom’s funeral. Rev. Occom was buried near his brother-in-law David Fowler in an unmarked grave just off Bogusville Road in the southern part of the Town of Kirkland. Prior to coming to New York he had been an itinerant

preacher in England and Scotland, a supporter of the education of Indians, a schoolmaster, famous orator, and the author

of popular hymns. He finished his career as the spiritual preceptor of the Brothertown Indians among the Oneidas.

After Rev. Occom’s death, the Christian Brothertown Indians religious faith waned because different faiths of all kinds

had moved in bringing confusion and division. Samuel Kirkland tried to help out but was stretched pretty thin preaching with the Oneidas and launching the start of the Hamilton-Oneida Academy. With the treaty of 1832, the Brothertown

Indians were granted land near Green Bay, WI where they live successfully today with Rev. Samson Occom’s blessing

I’m sure.

pepper to taste

Pour ingredients into partially baked pie shell and bake

40 - 45 minutes longer.

Credos Revisited

Thank you for participating in reviving our credos this past year. We’re continuing the idea into the year 2016. ―Credo‖

is the Latin word for ―I believe.‖ If submitting a statement of faith sounds less intimidating than the word ―credo‖ — so be it. The statement of faith needs only be a paragraph or two but the process does take some time, prayer and prepara-

tion. Perhaps it could be an outgrowth of your daily devotion. Think about life experiences or struggles that may have

shaped your life. How did you come by your faith? Were there mentors that especially guided you? Was your relation-ship with God a gradual progression?

Please let Ceil Gilbert or Midge Bakos know if you would like to share your credo or statement of faith.

This month we present Sherry Robinson’s statement of faith.

This I Believe Experiencing God’s Love through the Day

Two days a week I am up at 4:50 a.m. to wash my face, brush my teeth, grab my work bag, gym

bag with work clothes packed the night before, my water bottle and I’m out the door at 5:20 a.m.

As I drive the back roads ever so slowly, I gaze at the fields and the road for all kinds of crea-tures that are up and about gathering their breakfast or strolling about. What a most peaceful

time of the morning being in the here and now of dawn when the world is truly alive and yet

there is stillness.

I am heading to my hatha yoga practice. It is there I find peace and positive energy. As I enter a

dark warm room (approximately 85-90 degrees) with humidifiers running, there are other yogis

present but no one is talking. We lay still, face up on our mat in a position called shavasana-corpse pose, breathing and relaxing with every breath. It is in this relaxing posture that I bring my mind and body to the here and now -- it’s so

peaceful. How comforting it is to know that I am always in the protecting presence of God’s divine love.

At 6:00 a.m. lights are turned on as the instructor enters and for 60 minutes we learn to control breathing and practice a

form of physical exercise that challenges and refines our flexibility, strength and balance. The warmth of the room is to

enhance the postures. We do struggle! The postures are not easy with many aches, pains, soreness but we give it our best

as the instructor helps make it happen. At the end of the class when the lights are turned off, we lay down in shavasana for two minutes and it’s here that I draw close to God. I love God and am always giving thanks for his presence I feel

with and around me. I deal every day with folks that have lost loved ones. My heart aches for them, as I listen and in a

soft tone I extend my deepest sympathy. Many times at the end of our call they will say ―you are so kind, God bless.‖ That’s when I know I can truly smile and say thank you God for working through me.

Needless to say my wonderful yoga instructor is retiring! I have been with her for approximately 4 years and this hatha yoga practice will be ending. I am attuned to the goodness of God and to the prospering ideas that I receive. I am truly

grateful for all my blessings both seen and unseen. I have no doubt in my mind He will show me how to continue to

enrich my life and to help others too.

Fair Trade Artisans of Kenya

With the fair income Theresa makes as a carver in Kenya, she can send her three chil-

dren to school. This is very important to her as she strongly wants a bright future for her kids. Houses in the area are commonly built using dirt, but now Theresa and others

have been able to save funds and build homes out of concrete, which is stronger, more

durable, and makes living more comfortable. You can help people like Theresa by shopping at our Building Stones Fair Trade Shoppe, at Stone Presbyterian Church,

8 S. Park Row, Clinton. Our hours are 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. every Thursday, 10 a.m. to

Deacons’ Corner

―Hold the door, say please, say thank you

Don’t steal, don’t cheat, and don’t lie I know you got mountains to climb but

Always stay humble and kind

When the dreams you’re dreaming come to you When the work you put in is realized

Let yourself feel the pride but

Always stay humble and kind‖

The above song about kindness by Tim McGraw has wonderful words to live by. ―Do Unto Others‖ holds secrets be-

yond the Golden Rule. Demonstrating kindness has actually been shown to create a number of benefits, including hap-

pier lives, reduced stress and healthier bodies. To fully enjoy the benefits, here are some ways to add kindness to your daily life.

Decide To Be Kind……..Every morning tell yourself that you will focus on being kind.

Increase Your Awareness……..Start noticing kindness, it is all around you. Be Appreciative…….If someone shows you kindness. simply say ―thank you‖ instead of saying something like

―You didn’t need to do that.‖

Look For Opportunities To Be Kind…….Sometimes something as simple as a compliment or paying attention to a

conversation are kind gestures. Smile……Smiling not only creates good feelings within yourself, it cheers others.

Be Kind To The People Closest To You…….We often take for granted the people who are closest to us. We are

quick to snap at them and forget to thank them for all the things they do for us.

Showing kindness is a small task that we all can do….every day!!!! But, don’t forget yourself. Many times we are too hard on ourselves and we don’t need to be. You, too, deserve the kindness you reserve for the people around you. Take

time to be kind to yourself!!!!

Kindness is contagious and that little act of graciousness you provide to someone else most likely will be spread to someone else. A quote from Amelia Earhart sums it up…―A simple act of kindness throws our roots in all directions, and

the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does in others is that it makes them kind them-

selves.‖ So remember…. ―Always stay humble and kind.‖

Love and Peace, Your Deacons
