The Chimes Vol. XLI No. 8 Web Edition August 2013

Dear Friends,

This summer I have found time to engage in one of my favorite leisure activities – the reading of fiction for the sheer enjoyment of it. One of the novels that became my friend during a week at the beach was Chad Harbach’s The Art of Fielding, ostensibly a baseball story that turns out to be so much more than a baseball story. The book is probably not everyone’s cup of tea – there’s too much language and sexuality and even violence to make it one I could recommend broadly. But Harbach is a master of observation, and his descriptions so often match my own understanding of human frailties and weaknesses.

The novel tells the story of a young man, a virtuoso of a shortstop named Henry Skrimshander, who comes to tiny Westish College along the Wisconsin coast of Lake Michigan to play baseball. The story unfolds, as Gregory Cowles noted in The New York Times Book Review, as “a comedy of manners and a tragicomedy of errors – the baseball kind as well as the other kind….” My purpose in mentioning the book, however, is to point to one sentence early in the novel, soon after Henry has begun his life as a Westish student. Fresh from his high school days in South Dakota, Henry finds himself an outsider in a strange, new world. Harbach writes, “Though his classmates supposedly hailed from ‘all fifty states and 22 foreign lands,’ as [the president] said in his convocation address, they all seemed to Henry to have come from the same close-knit high school, or at least to have attended some crucial orientation session he’d missed.”

That line stuck with me all that week at the beach. It got me to thinking about the experience newcomers sometimes have when they make their way to worship in the church. We try our best to offer helpful cues and instructions. We work at offering hospitality. We speak of the “warm welcome” we seek to extend to our visitors. Yet I wonder how many of them feel about the church what Henry Skrimshander felt about his first days of college, that they are outsiders who don’t quite speak the language or get the inside jokes.

Let me be clear. I think we really try to be open and welcoming, and we do a pretty good job of it. But a baseball player’s fictional experience of integrating into a student body has had me thinking about ways we might re-double our efforts in such matters. Inviting people to come to worship, and then sitting with them to explain the nuances of how we do so. Telling a new family with young children that we have a wonderful nursery or church school, and then walking with them to show them where the nursery is, or to help them to find a classroom. Seeking out that new person who is sitting alone and speaking a personal word of welcome and greeting. You can probably think of another dozen examples.

The autumn rush will soon be upon us. I thought it might be helpful for us to be thinking now about how we might do an even better job of helping others feel more at home then.

Grace and peace,

Robert E. Dunham

This summer, adults at University Presbyterian Church have the opportunity to experience a different rhythm in the schedule

of educational opportunities with our special class, Making God’s Mission Your Mission… You Do Make a Difference!

This class features a series of modules developed by the faculty at Union Presbyterian

Seminary. Guided by a variety of individual UPC members and the DVD created by

Union, this series explores and engages participants in a deeper understanding of the

mission of the church. The series will rely heavily on the three books that guide the

work of the PC(USA): The Bible, the Book of Confessions and The Book of Order.

Childcare is available each Sunday morning. We hope you will join us as we continue this special summer class.

Adul t Educa t ion Summer Class Cont inues Making God’s Mi ss ion Your Miss ion… You Do Make a Di f ference!

Adul t Chr is t ian Educa t ion This Fal l The Adult Education Committee has been preparing for an exciting new year and a wide variety of educational opportunities for members and guests. Here are just a few of the classes for the fall and Advent season. More details will be provided in the September edition of The Chimes, as well as the Weekly E-News.

Holy Grounds: This class recognizes that Christian fellowship is one of the strongest bonds among people and aims to pro-vide a space for gathering and great stand alone one-on-one and small group discussions. Whether you drink coffee or not, come join us for fellowship and spiritual renewal.

The Cloud of Witnesses in Our Midst: UPC has been blessed with so many wonderful witness of the faith. In this class we will explore the lives of individuals whose connection to our congregation continues to inspire and teach us.

Honoring the Gospel: John Rogers will be reflecting on the study and exploration of the Letter to the Romans with which he engaged during his sabbatical. The instructive message in this letter is meant to help readers understand the Gospel of Jesus in a deeper, more meaningful way.

Discovering the Bible: Facilitated by Anna Pinckney Straight, this is a full-year class that will be divided into two sections. The first section will take a deeper look at the Old Testament. The second will focus on the New Testament.

Preparing to... Prepare the Way: This class will explore the meaning and purpose of Advent spiritual practices “before” Advent arrives. A wonderful class for adults of all stages of life and especially for parents wishing to introduce Advent practices to their families.

New Officer Training: A five-week intensive training for new UPC officers to introduce the inward workings of the church, as well as the theological foundations of church leader-ship in the PC(USA).

Feasting on the Word: In this class, we will explore one of the weekly Lectionary passages in ways that engage partici-pants in faithful learning and discussion. The passage for study each week is often the same text used in Sunday worship and offers even more reflection and conversation.

A Thank You to the Congrega t ion f rom Ka ty Wal ters It is one thing for a church to say they are an “inviting and welcoming” congregation, and it is another for a church to live out this calling. From the very first moment I walked into UPC, I have felt welcomed, at ease, comfortable, and appreciated. You have invited me into homes for meals, for prayer, and for fellowship. I have traveled with awesome youth, who have a heart to live out Christ’s love in this world and who also have a heart for this church. During my time here, I have worshiped, prayed, played, laughed, cried, danced (and pranced!), energized, preached, and even sung alongside you all. My time here at UPC has

been a blessing in my life, full of memories I will cherish of your warm and hospitable welcome.

Next up for me is a road trip home to Texas for a few weeks to spend time with family and friends and to prepare to take the PC(USA) ordination exams in mid-August. This fall, I will begin my third year (out of four) at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA, and in the spring, I will be studying at Westminster College, Cambridge, England as part our In-ternational Studies program. Know I will hold you all in my prayers as I continue on my journey. Feel free visit my blog at http://concerningthecall.blogspot.com/ to stay in touch.

2013 Appalachia Service Projec t (ASP)

On July 14, fifty-five participants from both UPC and Cane Creek Baptist departed for a week of service in Hinton, West Vir-

ginia. Hinton, a “railroad town,” was formed in 1871 and is nestled in the mountains of Appalachia along the New River.

Throughout the week, our eight crews were given a variety of work to be done on houses by ASP: from porch building, to dry-

wall work and mudding, to painting, to siding and more! In addition to working on the houses, crews also spent time getting to

know the families they were serving throughout the week. Our evenings were filled with worship, culture nights and even a

delicious BBQ picnic for all our families and ASP friends prepared by one of our very own! It was a week of challenges, but

also a week to see God at work in the world. Thank you to everyone who participated.

*Member of the 2013 VCS Planning Team

Vacation Church School (VCS) 2013 was a wonderful experience for children and adults alike. Through stories, scripture, hands-on learning projects, crafts, music, physical activity and fellowship, all present were able to discover the many meanings and opportunities present in this year’s theme “Take Me to the Water: God’s Love Flows.”

Using five biblical texts that use water to illustrate God’s provision of life and blessing, “Take Me to the Water” was a Vacation Church School to remember! The daily stories helped children understand faith as they explored the use of water in Biblical times, as well as water issues around the world today. Through these stories and by acknowledging the place of water in our lives, children understood that God is the source of life.

VCS would not be possible without the more than 80 adult and youth volunteers listed be-low who gave so generously their time and talents. In recognition of the efforts of these dedicated individuals, UPC made a donation to Living Waters for the World, an organization affiliated with the PC(USA) that dispatches mission teams to “empower their partners to provide clean, sustainable water and health education for their communities” across the world. To learn more about Living Waters for the World, please visit their Website at http://www.livingwatersfortheworld.org.

UPC, the VCS Planning Committee and all who attended express sincere gratitude to each of you.


2013 Summer Fun a t UPC!


L i fe Changes? Graduations. New schools. Jobs beginning, jobs ending. Moves to new locations. Marriages beginning, marriages ending, births, deaths, new families forming.

Life changes—including happy changes—often cause us to feel pressures that can be relieved by having someone to talk to. Stephen Ministers are trained to listen. At this time of year when many transitions are occurring, consider taking advan-tage of UPC’s Stephen Ministry Program. Meeting with a Stephen Minister might be a one-time thing or might continue for a period of time, depending on what you find helpful.

If you are interested in this confidential service, please contact Anna Pinckney Straight, UPC’s Associate Pastor, at (919) 929-2102 (ext. 112) or [email protected]. Thank you.
