BACK TO SOMETHING NEW
As I write this, I’m sitting in a hotel just outside of Chicago for a denominational gathering. I’m here as a part of my work as a member of the Division on Church and Ministry for our association to hear about and to provide feedback to our denomination’s new Manual on Ministry. The manual is our denomination’s guide of basics for how local associations should handle all things related to authorizing ministers for the UCC. The manual has not been substantially rewritten since 1986, and we know that the way we do church in the 21st century looks different than how church was done in the previous century. So, a group of diverse people from all across the country were nominated and selected to re-envision a document that better represents and prepares us for what ministry looks like today and might for some time into the future. So, that’s why I’m Chicago.
Prior to being in Chicago, though, I got to spend some time with Jamie’s family down in Dayton, Ohio, to celebrate Passover. We all went down there and enjoyed the hospitality of Jamie’s aunt and uncle. This was the twelfth trip we’ve made together. The first time we were still just dating and it was the weekend I graduated from Western Michigan University, so I didn’t even get to stay for the seder - the tradition meal and ritual that marks the Passover celebration.
This year obviously was much different. Since that first Passover, we’ve lived in three different states, and now have three children in tow. This was the first year that Allie was supposed to help light the festival candles to begin the seder. (She was too young last year, but snuck up there anyways.) The candles are always lit by the women and girls of the family.
I’m relatively new to the Passover traditions, but it was instantly meaningful to me the first time I participated in the seder. The purpose of the seder is to retell what God has done for God’s people by liberating them from slavery in Egypt. It’s meant to be a retelling and a remembering. But more specifically, it’s for the children. It’s a way that the stories of the ancestors are passed down from one generation to the next, so that the story is not forgotten, about what God has done.
I became acutely aware of the power of telling that story as I watched the next generation begin to take their place in a long and ancient line of people who told and tell the story of God’s liberation. Something was even more powerful this year after we spent so much time talking about Sabbath during Lent.
I’m grateful to Rev. Pat Tucker, Jennifer Porath, and Pastor Brad Main for their assistance to allow me to take this time away to be with family and to do the work of the larger church. Time away always affords a new perspective, and with all that I’ve seen and heard as I’ve been away this time, things feel new again.
I’m reminded that the seder is meant to be told as though the ones telling it were the ones who were liberated. It’s meant to be told as something new, every time it’s told. I wonder what stories we are telling today. Have we already moved on from Sabbath, or are we telling our stories in a way that is still new and working to remember the rhythm of rest? Easter is our grand celebration of newness as Christians. What possibilities are in front of us? What is new around us? Certainly spring is here. Let’s not forget the past in order to tell a new story, and let us not tell a new story as though we are the first ones here. But we do need to tell our story. It’s a story about new life, and it can be new each time we retell it. God is still speaking.
Blessings,
Kyle

INTERIM PASTORAL ASSOCIATE JOINS STAFFPlease join us in welcoming Mary Pat Campbell to our staff as an interim Pastoral Associate who will assist Rev. Carnes in various capacities here pending the selection of a new Associate Minister for Saint Stephens.
Mary Pat Campbell was born and raised in Southwest Montana, the oldest of three children.
In her first career, Mary Pat was a registered nurse. She then “transitioned from care of the body to care of the soul as a board certified chaplain,” Mary Pat describes. She has ministered in hospitals, hospices, and assisted living facilities, and was most recently the Chaplain at Bell Tower Residence here in Merrill until her retirement the end of March.
Following a trip to Europe, Mary Pat will join us here at Saint Stephens two to three days per week, with her first day being May 1.
Mary Pat has “three children and three wonderful grandsons--Jason, Leo, and Sidney” who bring her great joy.
What else brings her joy? Her calling. “I am passionate and humbled when hearing another’s story and journeying with them for awhile,” Mary Pat says.
In her spare time, she likes to read, garden, travel, and volunteer.

FEED YOUR SPIRIT . . .Why Don’t I Cry
“So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.” - Matthew 27:59-60
Joseph took the body and wrapped it.
Mary and the other Mary sat.
Joseph hewed the rock and laid the body in a tomb.
Mary and the other Mary sat.
Joseph rolled the stone in place.
Mary and the other Mary sat.
Joseph went away.
Mary and the other Mary still sat.
The workshop presenter—a grief counselor—tells a story
about a man whose daughter has died. Every day for weeks after the loss, the man’s wife cries in the living room, while the man goes to the garage and, tearless, works on a stone sculpture. Hearing from family and friends that he is “grieving wrong,” the man invites the counselor to his garage, and agrees to talk as he pounds rock into shape. “Why . . . don’t . . . I . . . cry?” he puffs between hammer blows. “Why . . . don’t . . . I . . . cry?”
There are approximately as many ways to grieve as there are people on the planet.
The Marys sit. Joseph takes, wraps, hews, lays, rolls, goes.
A mother weeps. A father chisels.
You hold a hand. I make a tuna casserole.
Someone else sits in a soft chair, tears on her face, repeating the name of her beloved over and over and over again.
Like Mary and Joseph, like a grieving man and his wife - some of us will sit still in moments of shock and sadness, and some of us will keep busy. Others of us will grieve in still other ways. One thing we have in common? We are, none of us, doing it “wrong.”
Prayer
Holy One, we are so very sad today. Some of us can’t move. Some of us can’t stop moving. Bless us all in our grief. .Amen

The security of our building is important to all who work and worship here and enter our building for any activity held here. Your help in keeping it safe and secure is much appreciated!
Hargrave Appliance, Merrill Radio Shack, and VIP Office Products will send a percentage of your purchase of $100 or more by cash or check to Saint Stephens as a part of the

SHOWERS, FLOWERS, VEGETABLES & SCRIP
April showers bring May flowers. Spring is here at long last and so begins the season of yard work, plowing and tilling the soil, and preparing for planting season. Many people absolutely love having a beautifully groomed yard and/or a garden, whether it is filled with flowers or vegetables.
If you are one of those who loves to plant and hoe, seed and sow, then Scrip can help! From new gardening tools to seeds and fertilizer, you can use Scrip to make those purchases and help support Saint Stephens at the same time. Menards, Home Depot, Wal Mart, and Fleet Farm all participate in the Scrip program, and those merchants can certainly help you get everything you need to get your yard and garden in tip top shape in no time at all!
Even if you don’t have a green thumb and you prefer to buy your produce at the grocery store, Scrip can help you get what you need. Both Piggly Wiggly and Dave’s County Market participate in our Scrip program and have cards available in $25, $50, and $100 denominations, so you’ll have just the right amount on hand whether you’re just running in for a few things or filling your cart.
Stop by the Scrip table after worship services or stop in the office and let us help you get started with the Scrip program.
2017 RE-MEMBER MISSION TRIP IS SCHEDULED!This year’s Mission Trip to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota has been scheduled, and you’re invited to join us! We will leave very early on Saturday, June 10, and return late on Friday, June 16. The cost for the trip is $546.00 per person. This covers our costs since it is our intent to help the Oglala Lakota Oyate Nation, not to impose on them. Will you join us on this mission? It’s hard work, but it’s super rewarding! Let Rev. Carnes know if you’re interested in joining this year’s Mission Trip. It will be an experience to remember.
