New business directory connects local Adventists

In what has become a valuable tradition known to transform lives at home and abroad, the Carmichael Church will participate in a mission trip next year.

Given the choice between traveling to India or Nicaragua to help build a school, church members responding to a survey chose the Central American nation by an overwhelming margin.

“It’s exciting being able to step into Nicaragua where not a whole lot of mission activity has been going on,” said Lead Pastor Keith Jacobson. Another good reason for going to Nicaragua, he said, is that “there’s been a significant increase in the safety of the country, which allows for the freedom of involvement.”Kitchen readies for open house.......2

A Carmichael Church member has launched a website to help Seventh-day Adventists in the Sacramento-region build a stronger sense of community.

“Our mission is to create greater value for the Adventist community through collaboration, strengthening our resources and support through stronger connections,” said Cathie Eason, who conceived www.AdventistAlliance.com.

The website serves as a business and professional directory where Adventists can list services they offer, and where

those in need of such businesses can find services they’re searching for.

In the future, Cathie said, the site will include a community resource page: A bulletin board for Adventists, and a calendar of events announcing special programs at area churches.

Cathie is a longtime real estate broker who spends dozens of hours a month volunteering for various charities in the business community. She came up with the idea for the website after members reminded her that it had been more

than a decade since the church had its own business directory.Her work on Adventist Alliance was a natural fit, she said, because it combines several of her spiritual gifts, including being a facilitator and helping people make connections.

And in a large church such as Carmichael, with nearly 2,000 members, there are many connections yet to be made, she added.

“I’m sitting next to somebody in church for 13 years and I don’t even know what they do, what their job is, I don’t know

Kitchen remodel is now complete

Just over a year ago the Refurbishing Committee asked Kathi Wescott to chair a sub committee with Pat Breckenridge and John Guynn, who has more than 40 years of experience with commercial kitchens. Their charge was to develop plans for the rebuilding of our 30-year-old kitchen.

A plan was prepared with a budget of $100,000, and a fund raising campaign was begun.

Today the kitchen is nearly complete, with new commercial grade convection ovens, an eight-burner stove/oven with griddle, a stock pot burner, new ice machine with 50 percent more capacity, a thermal heater for our dishwasher, and all-new stainless counter tops and shelving. All wood has been removed.

The redesigned kitchen has more food preparation and floor space, and a center-working table with electrical outlets for small appliances. In addition to the new equipment, all utensils, knives, trays, storage carts, and portable carts are new, as are the tablecloths. A new melamine linen cabinet is being built with dimensions that will make it easier to access the contents. The addition of eight new six-foot tables completes our goal for all new tables for the Fellowship Hall. And we now have china for 200, for those special occasions.

Clean and dirty dish areas were rebuilt to create easy and sanitary use of the dishwasher, and the storing of clean dishes into the carts. An automatic

chemical system has been installed forthe dishwasher, the sinks in the kitchen, and janitor’s closet.

A new pantry has been built with 30 percent more space; the janitor’s closet now has adequate storage, a mop sink, and commercial washer/dryer.

Throughout the kitchen and hallways there is all-new lighting.

Possibly the most popular feature of the new kitchen is the flat screen TV with speakers throughout, so that those working there can see and hear the church service, live, through the closed-circuit video feed.

As with all of our refurbishing projects, this project was paid for before the work was done. It has been completed on time, and has come in under budget by approximately $20,000. Why? Because so many people donated their time, talent, and treasure.

On August 6, after the church service, there will be an open house, and all are encouraged to attend.

To all who supported the continued renovation of our church, our sincere thanks.

Enjoy!

Choir year highlights

Ministry! Each week we hear Pastor Keith mention that we should each belong to a ministry. Choir, which rehearses Wednesday nights, is one ministry that many members of our church family have joined.

Our 100 years “young” choir member Lillian Hutzler celebrated her century with a birthday party on Feb. 9. We ate soup, sandwiches and pie, her favorite supper. A 100-candle cupcake tree was the centerpiece, and we also brought a gift of 100 (pennies, paperclips, candy, etc).

Other highlights of our 2010-11 choir year were the special concerts – Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter – and Choir Sabbath.

We also have been seeking donations to the “Choir Robe Fund.” We hope you will contribute by designating so on an offering envelope.

Christmas and Easter CD’s are still available and will help the “Fund.” The CD’s are $15.00 ($10.00 is for the “Robe Fund” and $5.00 for the CD’s). To order, call Sharon or Steven Straub at (916) 331-5106 or Email to: Roses4Sharon@Peoplepc.com.

Here is hoping that you will join the choir in September, when we resume rehearsals. Watch for the announcement in the church bulletin.

Community Servicesstarts red wagon ministry

church community

Paraphrasing the parable of the sheep and goats, as recorded in Matthew 25, Jesus said that when the King comes he will separate the sheep from the goats. He will then say to those on his right, the sheep, come and receive your inheritance, for I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. The people responded to the King by saying, when were you hungry and we gave you something to eat? The King’s response was, when you did it for those who were hungry in the community of the Carmichael Seventh-day Adventist Church, you did it for me.

That’s what the Sacramento Adventist Community Services Program at Carmichael is all about. Sharing our love with our neighbors who are hungry. During the first six months of 2010, SACS provided groceries to 2,093 families representing 6,394 individuals. For the first six months of this year, SACS provided groceries to 2,434 families representing 7,212 individuals – an increase of 341 families and 818 individuals.

Please consider partnering with SACS to meet the increased needs of people in our community who are hungry. One way you can do this is to participate in the Red Wagon Ministry by filling up the “Red Wagon” each week with sacks of groceries for God’s children.

Leonard Yost is chairman of the Community Services board of directors

Tuition assistance program produces resultsBeneficiary and SAA grad Aren Rennacker is now a pastor

Look no further than Aren Rennacker if you ever wondered about the good that comes out of donating to the Tuition Assistance Program. Aren, who grew up in Carmichael Church and made it through Sacramento Adventist Academy with the help of our assistance program, has just graduated from Pacific Union College. He is now starting his ministerial career in the Southeastern California Conference. He wrote this testimony for the Clarion:

I did not come from an Adventist family. My grandmother, who was Presbyterian, told my mom about SAA since she heard it was a good school. She helped my mom to send myself and three older siblings there when I was in first grade.

I had to leave after first grade because my grandmother passed away, and my mom could not afford the tuition on her own. We all went to public school, but when my two older brothers and I finished sixth grade, my mom chose to send us to SAA for junior high rather than the local public school. My mom raised all four of us as a single mother who never had a steady job, besides being a devoted mother.

I did not know how she was able to afford to send three of us through private school; obviously tuition

assistance helped, but it is God’s doing. I'm sure she had to sacrifice a lot, but she considered the atmosphere and education offered at SAA worth it all. I graduated from SAA in 2007, then attended PUC the next four years. I just graduated from there this past June with a bachelor’s in Public Relations/Journalism. I’m going to start as a Youth Pastor in Oceanside at the end of this month.

As far as Carmichael, I started attending there when I began going to SAA in junior high, since all my friends seemed to go to the church too. I grew to love the church, and attended regularly up until going to college (I’d still attend when I was home for breaks). Carmichael Church definitely helped me grow into the man I am today and become a person who is passionate about youth ministry. Rick Silvestri, Marit and Steve Case, Dan Wysong, and Keith Jacobson were all instrumental in my upbringing.

what their career is,” Cathie said. She hopes Adventist Alliance will help change that. “We are the core and heart of what a community should be as a church,” Cathie said.

While the cost of the web page has so far been financed by Cathie, she expects the site be self-funded, paid for by those who list their services. Eventually, her plan is to employ a church member to maintain the site.

In addition to being accessible on the web, the directory will be available in a PDF version that users can download, print or email to friends and family.

Anyone interested in listing their business can contact Cathie at: AdventDirectory@gmail.com or 916-730-7443. Cathie also manages a Facebook page where Adventists can list their business, which she can help market: www.facebook.com/SDACommunity.

church communityA veteran school administrator has been selected to be the principal at Sacramento Adventist Academy. And an award-winning educator from Southern California has been hired to teach kindergarten. John Soule, who comes from Upper Columbia Academy in Washington State, replaces former Principal Bettesue Constanzo, who moved to a teaching job at Loma Linda Academy after six years at the Carmichael campus. John holds a Master’s in Educational Leadership and has more than 20 years of education experience. Since arriving in Sacramento in July, he and wife Teresa have been visiting area churches – both constituent and non-constituent congregations. Bobby Peña, chairman of the school board that hired John, is impressed with his relationship-building skills. “He is working tirelessly on enrollment and recruitment with visits to many current and potential students and families at the school, in their homes, and at their churches,” Bobby said. John, and Hugo Collins, an SAA parent and board member, recently participated in an Education Day at Sacramento Central Spanish Church and later hosted its potential students and their parents on a tour of the campus. In addition to hiring a new principal, the board also tapped Edith Brayshaw to teach kindergarten. Edith, a recipient of the Zapara Award for Excellence in Teaching, has taught in San Diego, Loma Linda, and most recently in Modesto. She is eager to help grow the Kindergarten program. Edith and her husband, Jeff, are in the process of moving to Sacramento.

Alec Thompson: Athlete prays then plays

The Clarion – Summer 2011 | PAGE 5

Alec Thompson, an avid basketball player at Sacramento Adventist Academy, was having a horrible season last winter, his junior year. His shooting was off, prompting him to miss easy baskets.

“I was disappointed, frustrated, but I didn’t know what was wrong,” he said.

He finally discovered the reason for his poor performance: Alec, who once prayed before every game, had stopped communicating with God at courtside. And the moment he incorporated prayer back into his game, Alec scored an impressive 25 points against El Dorado and contributed in a big way to one of SAA’s most satisfying victories.

He became the team’s best free-throw shooter, and the second-leading scorer.

“I look back on that game because it was such a decision point in my life.” Alec said. “I’ve got to humble myself to the One who’s giving me these gifts and abilities.”

The 17-year-old son of Ron Thompson, and brother to 14-year-old Shelby Thompson, Alec has been at Carmichael Church since moving to the area from Thousand Oaks about 13 years ago.He’s a stellar athlete who spends part of the summer worshiping and playing sports at Fellowship of Christian Athletes a UCLA. He’s a guitar player who enjoys praise songs. And he’s an in incoming senior eager to graduate and study nursing at Walla Walla University.

He’s also become one of the most reliable leaders of the youth group.

Alec says he wasn’t always as engaged in church. During ninth and tenth grade, he hardly came to Carmichael, preferring instead to take his guitar to Orangevale and Roseville churches to play music with friends.

Then Pastor John Wheeler arrived, last summer, and Alec’s life began a spiritual transformation. When John saw the leadership potential in Alec, he invited him to lunch and engaged in the first of many talks on how to improve and grow the youth group.

“What changed my life was talking to someone who was just as interested as I was in leading others to spiritual growth,” Alec said. “I was looking for that spiritual growth but didn’t really have the tools that were needed to have a program that could offer kids a different outlook on being a Christian.”

Alec said John proposed a “revolutionary idea” to other leaders, including Rachel Oliver, and the rest of the group: You had to be a Christian first, then fulfill your responsibilities as a Seventh-day Adventist.

The idea, and others promoted by the young leaders, caught on.

As a result, a group that numbered only a handful of teenagers on any given Sabbath began to grow exponentially, drawing dozens on a typical Sabbath.

For Alec, a highlight of the past year was his leadership role in the youth group’s mid-week worship program: “We had three small groups for the men, and three for the girls, and at the peak of our Rad Wednesday group we had about 60 kids showing up.”

“One of my goals that I want to pursue is to have Christ in all aspects of my life,” Alec said, “and not just having Him in certain areas.”

Catching up

Carmichael member Kathy Provonsha retired after 40 years of teaching, four at Monterey Bay Academy and 36 years at SUA/SAA. She was named Teacher of the Year and presented with a bouquet of flowers at the constituency meeting and at Baccalaureate service June 4 (she received 40 red roses representing the number of years she has taught). Kathy joins her husband Larry who is also retired.

After serving six years as principal at SAA, Bettesue Constanzo will teach at Loma Linda Academy next school year. She received flowers and well wishes at the constituency meeting and again at the Baccalaureate service.

Flowers for Shut-ins: Kathy and Richard Jaime obtain the flowers to give to the ill and shut-ins from Flora Fresh. The flowers, vases and ribbons are purchased by the church. Richard makes the bows that adorn the vases. The addresses provided by the church office are attached so members can deliver the flowers to about 30 members several times a year. Richard and Kathy are retired and enjoy the flower project as well as golfing. Donations to the “Shut-in Flower Fund” are always appreciated.

Our venture into small group ministry will be renewed in several weeks, following summer break, beginning with a pulpit series Aug. 20.

Members and guests are invited to the annual church picnic Aug. 20 to celebrate the start of a new school year. The picnic will be at nearby Gibbons Park immediately after the worship service. Check the weekly bulletin for details on the food that people are being asked to take. Gibbons Park is at 4701 Gibbons Dr., Carmichael.

Tahoe Camp Meeting Aug. 1 – 6

Dr. Bill Kilgore will be the evening speaker at the Lake Tahoe Camp Meeting, which takes place Aug. 1 to 6. The morning devotionals, meanwhile, will be offered by Pastor Jon Terry. The 27-year-old tradition, at the picturesque Camp Richardson in South Lake Tahoe, includes daily programs for the entire family – from Cradle Roll to adults – with activities such as spiritual messages, music, crafts and outings. “This is a great event for a single person, couple or family,” said Virginia Rose, who helps coordinate the annual event. Between meetings, she said, some people hike, cycle, swim, sit under the trees and read a good book, or browse the ABC store. Devotionals by Jon Terry, associate pastor of Roseville Church, are from 7 to 8 a.m. Breakfast is at 8 a.m., followed by seminars (topics include vegetarian cooking and hydrotherapy), and children's programming (for five different age groups, through teens).

Carmichael’s own Louis Yaw will lead a seminar Tuesday through Thursday in the main tent, entitled, “God’s Answer to Satan’s Most Deceptive Lie.” It takes place from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m.

 Dr. Kilgore, vice president for spiritual development at Southwestern Adventist University, will present his daily message – “The Gospel in These Last Days” – at 7 p.m. in the main tent, which holds 1,000 worshipers. The Sabbath sermon will be at 11 a.m.

Virginia and husband Dallen will host the Wedgewood Trio at their campsite for Sabbath lunch. “We would enjoy having anyone from Carmichael Church and their friends join us,” Virginia said. “Please bring food and camp chairs and meet our guests before their afternoon concert.” For more information, visit:  http//tahoecampmeeting.adventistfaith.org. 

ASi conventioncomes to Sacramento

Adventist-laymen’s Services & Industries will hold its international convention in Sacramento from Aug. 3 to 6. This annual event draws many of ASi’s 800+ members and ministries, along with a wide variety of church leaders and entities from around the world. The convention will feature more than 200 exhibitors, ranging from independent and supporting lay ministries to universities and major media ministries. Among this year’s speakers at the Sacramento Convention Center is Elder Ted N.C. Wilson, president of the Adventist world church, who will deliver the Sabbath morning sermon. 

Local guests (those within a day’s round-trip drive) are invited to the evening general session meetings and all day Sabbath for free. Each local guest must register and receive a local guest badge at the main registration desk. Those who wish to attend the Thursday and Friday adult seminars and programs for children and youth must register as regular convention attendees. For more information visit: www.asiministries.org.

Mission, from Page 1

As with Mozambique in 2009, the Nicaragua mission trip, slated for Spring 2012, will likely draw dozens of Carmichael members.

“One of the great values to this particular project is that we here at Carmichael understand the value of Christian education and what a benefit it has been over the years right here,” Jacobson said.

Church leaders are working closely with Maranatha Volunteers International to select a date and location for the trip.

Question

Should Carmichael Church go to India or Nicaragua for its next mission trip?

Denise Aylseworth

“Either one is good. I’m willing to go to

either location – wherever God feels we are needed the most.”

Dan Juarros

“Nicaragua. I’m Spanish and I might get

along better with the language of people.”

Irene Stiger

“I think I’m going to withhold my opinion

because they’re both so deeply in need.”

Randy Wheeler

“Nicaragua. It’s closer to home. I’m on the Finance Committee and we have to help raise the money.”

Encouraged by the success of previous health-minded courses, and continuing to meet a growing demand from members, the church this fall will present a new weight management program that is sure to fit into each participants’ schedule.

“The Full Plate Diet is a very unique wellness program that we’re all enthused about,” said Lothar Guttschuss, director of the Health Ministry Committee. It promotes weight loss by allowing participants to generally eat what they normally would, as long as they focus on the importance of fiber.

The program, which is endorsed by the Northern California Conference as well as the Pacific Union, consists of eight, one-hour sessions beginning Sept. 27.

Three sessions will be offered each Tuesday.

Participants can choose to attend the course at 10 a.m., or 2 p.m., or 7 p.m. Each registered participant will receive a copy of “The Full Plate Diet” book, a workbook, a daily diary, and a CD with weekly personal information. The cost is $40 per person and $60 per couple. Space is limited to the first 20 people registered for each time slot. Pre-registration is required. Registration will open at the beginning of August. Watch for more details in the church bulletin.

Full Plate Diet coming in September
