Dan Wilson, Pastor [email protected]

In my previous Ivy Vine reflection, we considered ways in which people of God bear fruit. That message explored and celebrated the variety of spiritual fruit that God nourishes within humankind. One vital truth which we discovered together is that God desires the Church to be fruitful.

This month, I would like to offer some thoughts about “growing.”

You will receive this reflection in the month of July. In agriculture, this is the time of year known as “the growing season.”

Christ our Savior longs for us to grow. This very day, God is envisioning “a just world for all.” Moment by moment, God is giving creation a limitless array of growing edges. A central one is that Christ longs for us to grow in our relationships. These include: Love of Children, Love of Neighbor, Love of Creation. All of these are expressions of our relationship with God. For our entire lives, there will continue arising new possibilities for growth. This is exciting!

Some may resist growth and change, because these are perceived as taxing; demanding; requiring much (too much?) energy. In truth, growing and embracing change do require effort. Working for God’s Justice and seeking to live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ require great energy. Indeed, an active faith is highly demanding.

Yet we must not be alarmed or concerned by this. Our resources are not limited. As children of the Living God, resources available to us forever will be ample. We have no need to fear using them all up. As God promised Abraham, “God will provide.” (Genesis 22:14) God’s blessings will continue flowing. God’s provision is inexhaustible. Remarkable!

“But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which God loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved… For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God—… remember that you were at one time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus, you who were once far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ… So Christ came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to God. So then you are no longer strangers and God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him, the whole

structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God.” (Ephesians 2:3-5, 8, 12-13, 17-22)

“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?... For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.” (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)

“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)

“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in God.” (Lamentations 3:24)

Do you recall the incident when critics were finding fault with Mary for sitting idly at Jesus’ feet? Right away, Jesus defended her, declaring, “Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:42) Through prayer and openness, may we live in this manner. May we embody the unselfish love of Christ. “…we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us.” (2 Corinthians 4:7)

“Light has shown in our darkness; God has shown in our hearts With the light of the glory of Jesus the Lord.

He has chosen the lowly Who are small in this world. In this weakness is glory, in Jesus the Lord.

We hold a treasure, not made of gold in earthen vessels - wealth untold. The treasure only - the Lord, the Christ, in earthen vessels.”

(Bob Dufford, Dan Schutte - St. Louis Jesuits 1975)

Imagine what God’s vision is for who you and I can become. Surely, it is extravagant, and frightening, and much, much more. Let’s strive to grow into this vision! Christ’s disciples are summoned by God to love, to act, to grow. Who is God dreaming Ivy Chapel United Church of Christ will be? What more can you and I do?

By the grace of our risen Savior, may each one of us treasure this earthly body as a holy temple which God is providing. By the grace of our Risen Savior, may our pursuit of “a just world for all” continue growing.

God’s “growing season” is now, Pastor Dan

To my Ivy Chapel family: As most of you know my sister

Lynn Goeddel has been courageously battling

Pancreatic Cancer for the past 3 1/2years which is

according to statistics almost unheard of. It is because

of her faith and the love of her family and many, many

friends that she has continued to fight this dreadful

disease. Due to the unbelievable work of the Pancreatic

Cancer Action Network Lynn has been able to enjoy her

seven grandchildren and life itself! I would love for you

to join us September 23rd in Forest Park for the

Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Purple Stride St.

Louis walk. If you aren’t able to join us (Lynn plans to

walk with us too) please consider donating to this

wonderful organization. Thank you all for your support

and continued prayers. You can reach the website at

Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Purple Stride St.

Louis. Our team name is Walking for Lynn for your

donation. Please reach out to me, 636-391-9096, with

questions. Thank you so much! Celeste Tichy

July 2018







I have some great news. I have accepted a part time music position at Lafayette Preparatory Academy. This is the charter school that Miller currently attends, and Charlie will hopefully attend next year (2019). We love the school, and I hope it will be great fit. As you know, my goal as a teacher is to reach and instill a love of music in all my students. I believe this position will expand my reach especially to those students who otherwise may not have been able to join my private studio.

Now, I am sure you all are thinking “how will this affect me?” Hopefully, not much will change. This is a part time day position only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As many of you know, I feel strongly that music ministry is my calling just like teaching, loving and sharing with kids is my calling. So, don't worry. I'm not going anywhere. Please pray for me as I begin this new chapter in my career. I will be praying for discernment and focus. I pray that I will bring a love of music to the kids that is infectious. I pray that this is the right path for me and that God will illumine my steps on this new journey.

As far as Ivy Chapel goes, it’s FRIENDS and FAMILY TIME! Please join me in making a beautiful song on July 15th. You can show up early at 9 for a quick rehearsal or you can just hop on up and sing! We would love to hear your voice. Additionally, my family and I will be on a quick vacation July 8th so please welcome Ms. Abby Foehrkolb to the bench. She is a past student of mine and is studying music at the collegiate level. I'm so proud of her, and I think she will do great. I love nothing more than encouraging the next generation in music ministry, and I hope you do too.

Anyway, I am so thankful for each and every one of you. I hope you are enjoying your summer. Whew. It is hot! See you next time.

Ballgame Fellowship Cancelled

Due to lack of interest there will be no fellowship

event at the Rascals ballfield in July.

On June 19th the Mary and Martha Women’s Group had a summer luncheon with the theme ‘He has the Whole World in His Hands’. The white-clothed tables were beautifully decorated with hand cutouts of all colors and sizes as well as globes surrounded by flowers designed and provided by Dottie Foster. The Guest Speakers were Darlene Sowell, president and CEO of Unleashing Potential (UP) and Denise Carter, Director of the Early Childhood Program which is a part of UP. They explained their Mission and how they are trying to accomplish it and how the UCC Neighborhood Houses became Unleashing Potential. They showed a video with a young mother who explained what UP had done for her. Following their talk, they were presented with a check for $300 which was half of the proceeds from the M&M Spring Plant Sale. We also showed the T-Shirts that were made by Magnificent Creations, also an arm of UP for teen-agers. The design for the T-Shirts was created by Jan Wirtz for the Emmaus residents of Seven Pines with their house surrounded by seven pines. The Seven Pines residents and staff were in attendance and took T-Shirts for each staff member and resident home with them. Twenty people attended the luncheon.

There will be no meeting in July. The next meeting will be August 21st. A Bake Sale, ‘Dessert for a Dollar’ will be held on Aug. 26th after worship in Fellowship Hall.

Office Volunteers needed Frieda will be on vacation September 4-14th and will need volunteers to answer phones, check mail, copy/collate the worship and KYP with the Purple Pages. Most of the work is preprinted. Please let Frieda know if you would like to help, 314-434-4991. Thursdays and Fridays are the most active days. You may come in for lessons to use copier. Instructions are also printed for you.

Teach Sunday School

We need Sunday School teachers. Some of our

teachers are teaching multiple Sundays a month. The

job is not hard—the curriculum is easy to use and our

children are eager to learn. Please prayerfully consider

teaching our children. Contact Sarah Heend if you are

interested in learning more about this opportunity to

share God’s love with our children.

Calling for help!

The ad hoc committee looking at challenges and opportunities for Ivy Chapel hopes someone in our congregation can identify a person to assist with web site development and upkeep. Rich Heend wouldn’t mind letting go of this project, which he’s ‘owned’ for several years—for which we are most thankful. Best case would be to find an individual who’d be willing to provide some pro-bono effort. Anna DiVesta has committed to Facebook posts so the web site work would complement those timely communications. Please let Bruce Wilking 314-640-4902, Sally Dodge 636-519-0823 or Nancy Litzinger 314-954-2526 know if you have someone we could contact.

Good Grief Gathering

A new group may begin at Ivy Chapel UCC in August.

In response to God’s encouragement, our church may

attempt hosting a grief support group.

Initially, the group will meet every Monday, 10 am to

11:30 am, in the church sanctuary.

We will call this group “Good Grief Gathering.”

Conveners will be Ann Molyneaux and Pastor Dan.

Our plain and simple vision is for this group to serve as a

grief support gathering.

All that is shared will remain confidential.

Please contact Ann, 314-878-0966, or

Pastor Dan, 314-434-4991 to make us aware that

you would like to participate.
