WANTED!!
LAST FALL, after much hard work, the national setting of the United Church of Christ (UCC HQ in Cleveland) presented to the church and the world a new set of defining statements, in order to guide the church in these challenging times. Here’s an excerpt from the article by Anthony Moujaes on UCC.ORG (October 24 2016)…
A vision of a just world for all people will guide and shape the future work of the United Church of Christ. It's a vision that the denomination's General Minister and President and unified Board of Directors are prepared to own as part of a refreshed set of Purpose, Mission
and Vision statements.
"I can't even begin to express how proud I am of our beloved United Church of Christ for articulating not just a purpose, mission, and vision – but this purpose, mission and vision," said the Rev. John Dorhauer, UCC General Minister and President. [John was HERE at St. Paul on April 19, a guest of our SONKA Cluster Two churches, where he spoke about these new
guiding statements].
The UCC PURPOSE STATEMENT comes from the Gospel of Mark: To love God with all
our heart, mind, soul, and strength and our neighbor as ourselves [Mark 12.3-31].
MISSION STATEMENT: United in Spirit and inspired by God's grace, we welcome all, love all, and seek justice for all.
And the VISION: United in Christ's love, a just world for all.
‘Every week I travel the globe witnessing what it looks like when the United Church of Christ
commits itself to love and justice,’ Dorhauer said. ‘I call upon every covenant partner to
embrace fully this call to love and justice; and to share with leaders in the church what that
expression of love looks like in their ministry setting.’ ‘’
PURPOSE MISSION VISION

THE EPISTLE May 2017
Ponderings From The Pastor (continued)
IT IS NOW TIME to start our VISION TEAM here at St. Paul UCC, where we will be doing this very same kind of work; and as we do so, we will be keeping THESE guiding statements in mind! To this end, the SPUCC Executive Team has empowered me to begin recruiting members for a new Vision Team. We may eventually take a different name (e.g., the “Flip My Church” Team, the “Inside Out” Team, etc.), but the GOAL will be to lead the whole congregation though the process of DISCERNING GOD’S FUTURE for our church. And, this is a good time to remind you—it’s not “Pastor Barry’s vision” we are seeking…nor yours, nor our church Council’s vision…nor any other vision except GOD’S!
WHAT will this new team be doing? HOW will it work? WHO will be on it? HOW LONG will this process take? I’ll be sharing as much information as possible about all this, in every way possible, in the weeks and months ahead…in The Epistle, in weekly bulletins, on Facebook, and on our church’s website (www.stpaulnch.com). I can only briefly touch on each of these questions—all good questions!—here:
WHAT and HOW: internal and external demographic studies (who’s HERE, who’s “out there” for us to minister to, and what are they looking for? With WHOM do we share God’s “extravagant welcome” and seek to love as our neighbor?); organizing small groups and focus groups in the church AND the community; leading the clarifying of our CORE values; engaging in a multi-week PRAYER focus and journaling experience for the whole church (that means every member!); special emphasis on Vision and Mission (“Spiritual DNA”) in worship and preaching; “faith sharing moments (known as “testimonies” in days gone by!) in worship; a consensus process to AFFIRM God’s new vision for us, when we get all this done and added together. It all BEGINS with a new “St Paul Timeline” that will be starting in the next few weeks…watch for details…
HOW LONG: that depends on how quickly the Vision Team can be recruited, trained, refine our process, and begin its work; once it does, we’re looking at a minimum of six to nine months—but again, this depends entirely on the cooperation and commitment of the congregation to take part in all the pieces along the way. The higher your commitment and involvement, the quicker the process will move!
WHO: four or five willing volunteers! We are looking for some very specific people, who are…
Dedicated to prayer and growing spiritually, and are known for their rich faith life;
know and love the congregation;
are respected by more than one facet (faction?) of the
congregation;
are deeply committed to confidentiality;
are positive and have a commitment to consensus (i.e., they
have no particular agenda or personal statement to make;
will commit the TIME and ENERGY it takes for this process;
are willing (with plenty of help!) to address the congregation
and help lead small or large group meetings (as facilitators only, not as “experts”).
We will be seeking, ideally—
at least one: Process-oriented person who can co-ordinate fine details;
at least one: Communicator who can accurately and effectively disseminate
information;
at least one: Numbers person who can crunch numbers/help interpret data; and,
at least one: Prayer Warrior who can activate a team of prayers.

Linda Woods
This team will be hand-picked by me, and each interested person will meet with me individually
before being confirmed as a VT member; it just has to be this way, since this is such a special-ized (and crucial) “appointment”!
Do you think YOU might be one of these people? If so, I want you…and JESUS WANTS YOU! Let’s TALK!
All boiled down, our newly reborn “Spiritual DNA” (or renewed or restored or resurrected---pick one!) will help SPUCC to be united and then to “share with leaders in the church [and with our whole church community] what the expression
of Christ’s love looks like in their ministry setting,”” as we seek a world of love and justice for all.
In Christ, and Continuing Easter Blessings! – Pastor Barry

St. Paul Youth
The SPY never rest!
We worked the Fish Fry on Good Friday and
afterwards we skated.
Just for the record, you will never see Pastor Joan on Skates. However if you look really close, you will see the President of Council Mike Bartholomew helping his grandson and rocking the wheels. The SPY enjoyed the lock in on the 8
th of April, as we made Easter Chocolate. Thank you to all who
supported the SPY and bought our Chocolates, YUM! Thank you to all the Youth for helping out on Youth Sunday. You hard work really showed.
In May we will have a car wash, (weather permitting) on Saturday the 20
th. Has winter
been hard on your car, please come out and support your SPYs and Campers.
Also, the SPY will be in the NCH Memorial Day Parade. Have you seen the mountain of water in Pastor Joan Office? Well, the SPY will be handing out that water during the parade. Please come join us, whether you are a walker or a rider (plenty) of room in the truck. This is truly a moment to show off in North College Hill.

THE EPISTLE May 2017
Faith in ACTION! Our church’s old, existing logo is a sailing ship…and sailing ships are meant to SAIL! Ships are vessels…built to carry people and/or cargo from place to place…which means they are made to MOVE, not remain static! A ship just sitting around in port, moored to the dock, might serve as a kind of temporary home…but it is NOT fulfilling its PURPOSE! Our logo reminds us that our church and our faith are meant to be growing, in “movement” and going where the “wind” of the Holy Spirit takes us! To that end, and to help our church “keep under sail” and doing some necessary things during our upcoming season of vision discernment, Pastor Barry wants to create some ad-hoc, short-term ACTION TEAMS. These teams won’t neatly fall under
our existing committee structure (though there might be occasional overlap), and will have limited, specific tasks and goals to accomplish. Once those are accomplished, the teams will disband! The first several ACTION TEAMS will be: the TIMELINE Team, the BARISTA Team, the CURB APPEAL Team, and the BOTTOMS UP Team…
The TIMELINE Team will help set up our church history timeline—an interactive display of our history that will cover some walls!--starting in May. Help will be needed to set up the timeline, and then “man” the interactive stations before and after worship on Sundays (for about 4 to 6 weeks).
The BARISTA Team will help Pastor B make and serve free specialty coffee drinks (lattes, cappuccinos. etc.) for the weekly community meals on Tuesdays. He will train you to be a barista! We may eventually “branch out” to Sunday mornings as well.
The CURB APPEAL Team will take on several small-scale landscaping projects around the church, and help us ratchet up our “curb appeal” over the summer/fall months (good for helping attract visitors!). Helpers will have some freedom of “design” and flexible times to get tasks completed.
The BOTTOMS UP Team will work with Pastor B in establishing some outreach evenings (one or twice a month) in at least one local brewery and/or winery…which means having a beer or wine and shooting the breeze! (tough duty, huh?). These will be “come as you are” events, where anyone can sidle up, have a brew and a bite, and casually talk about ANY ”theological issue” or religious topic they feel like.
Do ANY of these opportunities interest you? If so, or even if you just want more information before deciding to join an Action Team, GET IT TOUCH with Pastor Barry ASAP, by phone (office or mobile), email, or talk with him after worship some Sunday during Coffee Hour. Training for any new tasks will be provided for each ACTION TEAM…and donations will be sought for any needed supplies not covered in our church budget. Let’s set sail…let’s move!

This was the 45th school year for St. Paul Nursery School. Where does the time go? Even this year flew by. It seems like it was just September and now the children are moving on. St. Paul Nursery School has grown over these 45 years. When the Nursery School first started, it was upstairs in two small classrooms where the chapel and meeting rooms are now. Now we are downstairs with four classrooms and five teachers and a teacher assistant. Mrs. Susan Ehrhardt has just completed her 30th year here at St. Paul preschool. As I mentioned in The Epistle a few months ago, she is the author of a book called “A to Z Ready for K: A Complete Preschool Curriculum.” Her book should be ready to purchase in the fall. She just heard that Amazon took her book for distribution. We are so proud of her and so happy she is continuing to teach at St. Paul. We appreciate all her hard work and dedication to the preschool. Now for some Thank You’s:
Thank you St. Paul congregation for letting us teach in this beautiful facility.
Thank You to Lynn Kluesener and Roxanne Reed for all their help and support.
Thank You to Jim Maybury for all the little things you do for us. May God Bless You and have a wonderful summer. See you all in the fall. Karen Rieman and Staff

SCOUTING NEWS The Cubbies are all finishing up their requirements and winding down their school year. Activities are being planned once a month for the summer. The Troop has been busy working on first aid and knots, map and compass reading and orienteering skills. They are planning a hiking trip this month at John Bryan State Park. The Crew has been having some fun. They planned a yoga night. They all had a lot of laughs and fun as they tried to do the various forms of stretching. We heard “How am I suppose to do that? and “ I can’t hold that position” and they lost their balance A LOT! It was fun to participate and watch them. They had lots of laughs and fun, and they all tried. There was talk of doing it again, but maybe starting at an introductory level instead of an advanced level. They shared some apples and tangerines afterwards while they did another team building activity. The troop and crew participated in the COPE course last month. They had a great time together. Here are a few pictures of them working together as teams.
