8/13/2019 Aug. 13 Herald


[Jesus prayed,] “Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, sothat they may be one, as we are one.” (John 17:11 NRSV).

It’s fun when a good idea starts a chain -reaction. That’s how “Holypalooza” be-gan. The Youth Design Team, comprising volunteers and staff from CentralPresbyterian Church and Centenary United Methodist Church, was discussing

how to promote the coming year’s calendar of events for our joint youth group, now being led byTiffany Grossman. We wanted it to be celebratory and fun, and it needed to be near the begin-ning of the school year. And it needed to be equally accessible to persons from Central and Cen-tenary, despite our different times of worship. Soon we were discussing an outdoor “block party”event, which would include not only publicity for the youth program, but also would highlight oth-er ministries of the two churches. Since St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church was located right be-tween Central and Centenary, it made sense to see if they wanted to participate in the “block par-ty.” Their interim rector, Rev. Mary Slenski, shared the idea with her Vestry; and they accepted

our invitation with enthusiasm. In an early planning meeting, Rev. Slenski asked, “Since we will behaving a block party together, then why don’t we also think about a joint worship service?” With-out hesitation our Session and Centenary’s Council and St. Stephen’s Vestry had endorsed thatidea, as well. Then Rev. Jimmy Moore, the new pastor at Centenary, suggested that we includeUnited Campus Ministries, which all of our churches support, and that we invite campus ministerRev. Dr. Joni Clark to preach.A steering team began meeting in early May to explore and brainstorm ideas for the event. Sever-al meetings and discussions have led us to the plan for the day — Sunday, August 25. We will gath-er at 9:30 a.m. on the corner of 7 th and Cherry, and at 9:40 a.m. we will process/parade (with bag-pipe music!) down the sidewalk to Centenary UMC, where we will have a joint worship service at10:00 a.m. (Anyone preferring not to be in the procession/parade can go directly to Centenary’s

air-conditioned sanctuary, which is accessible by elevator or stairs from 7 th Street.) A joint choirand the children will sing, Dr. Clark will preach, the Lord’s Supper will be served, and Sundayschool teachers will be commissioned. After worship, from 11:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. a carry-inlunch will be served in the Great Hall at St. Stephen’s. (See the announcement in this issue abouthow and when to bring carry-in items to the meal.) Also beginning at 11:30 a.m. and continuinguntil 2:00 p.m. “Palooza Plaza” will be open in the parking lot south of Central (the same one usedby the Blueberry Festival). That will be the location for amusements (Velcro wall, bungee run,bounce-and-slide, cotton candy, face painting, and more) and exhibits of the mission, history, andactivities, of the three churches and campus ministry. Dress is casual for worship and the day’sevents.Our hope is that Holypalooza (a name that is intentionally fun and informal) will be a visible sign tothe broader community, including students at ISU, that our churches are vibrant and fun and, as

Jesus prayed, “are one”— united in mission and ministry.

New Salt Shakers Start in September!

The Salt Shaker program groups 7 – 8 people for

dinner in a home. The host schedules the eveningand provides the main dish, and other partici-pants are assigned a vegetable, salad, or dessert.For each meeting the participants have beenshaken around so they get to be with a differentgrouping. It is a great way to meet new peopleand learn new things about old friends.

To make scheduling just a little bit easier thisyear, the CL-CA Commission has changed the

Salt Shaker schedule slightly. This year there willbe four meetings, rather than six, so that we canwork around the Holiday Bazaar, Fifth Sundays,and other busy times of the year. For more flexi-bility, groups would meet

During September or October

During January or February

During March or April

During June or July

If you’d like to be involved in Salt Shakers thisyear, sign up on the list posted in the FellowshipHall by Wednesday, August 21. Hosts, non-hosts,singles, couples, alternates, and all ages are en-couraged. Once everyone has signed up, theschedule for the year will be finalized and sent tothose involved. It is truly a wonderful way to getto know your church family — and have fourgreat dinners!

REPORTS FROM SUMMER CAMPS AND CONFERENCES! 8 children fromCentral attended church camp at PYOCA this summer. The church assists

with funding and it seems that it is money well spent!

Here are some of their thoughts:

Pyoca was really fun. We went creek stomping, rock climbing, swimming, and climbed a mountain (hill).We learned that God is all around us and about "All things new."Go Pyoca! Go go Pyoca! – Megan [Rader]

I had lots and lots of fun at Pyoca. For example, my favorite memories are climbing Mount Baldy, rockclimbing, seeing the wildlife, swimming and most importantly, getting more connected with Jesus. And Imade lots of friends! Pyoca was awesome!

– Tiana [Megan’s cousin from Maine]

Dear Church Family,Thank you for helping me get to Pyoca church camp. I loved it. The lake was my favorite part. I got toclimb the rock wall. I met a whole lot of friends at camp. I'm so glad we hiked Mount Baldy. Thank youagain.Miller Bough

My Experience at PYOCA By Emily HaanMy week at PYOCA was really awesome. All the campers were divided into family groups on the first dayand every night each family group would lead campfire. When my family group led campfire, we all had ablast leading songs and doing skits.

A lot of activities were available. Some campers could sign up for the climbing wall if they wanted. I didand it tired me out, but boy was it fun! My family group went mud stomping through a creek. We got upto our waists in mud!The spiritual theme for the week was “All Things New.” We made sculptures with clay to symbolize howGod is always sculpting us into something new! We talked about how even if we mess up, God will keepworking on us until we are what He wants us to be!Everyone makes friends at camp. I made friends in my family group and in my cabin. We’d go swimming orgo to the craft cabin together. Camp PYOCA was a great experience.

A few weeks ago I went to Camp Pyoca. It was my second year going and was just as fun as last year.

We did fun things like swimming, rock climbing and campfire. When we went swimming we could jumpoff a floating dock, go on the water trampoline, go on different kinds of boats, or just swim. Once Caro-line, Emily, Megan, a counselor and I went in a paddleboat. That was a lot of fun! Rockclimbing was awe-some! I got all the way to the top of the climbing wall. That was cool and made me feel proud. Campfireincluded songs, skits and a little worship mixed in. I don’t think I have to say how much fun that was.Pyoca was really fun! Thank you for helping me go. – Isabelle Conner

Presybyterian Youth Triennium (PYT) is held every three years at Purdue University. High School youthand adult advisors come from all over the country for 5 days of youth friendly worship and activities. Manychurches host global partners from other countries. 5200 people energized for and by God’s love leaves alasting impression and is often transforming. The theme of this year’s PYT was I AM and focused on youthlearning who God is and who they are. The youth from 7 th Cents Youth Group were invited to attend thisyear and two from Central and one from Centenary were able to go. The youth attend as a “delegation”from a church or presbytery. We were a part of the Presbytery of Ohio Valley delegation with 38 youthand 6 adults. Cheryl Moles served as the delegation registrar. Cheryl, Amanda Tramel, Erin Pugh and TylerLucas assisted with the delegation overnight prior to going to Purdue. Jim and Cheryl Moles and TiffanyGrossman took 5 other youth up to visit for a day to get a taste of the event.

Triennium- Harrison WhitakerI’ve always had one belief in my life that forms the core of all of my values. I’ve always had a belief

that the world is a good place. In today’s world, people like to believe that society has been corrupted andthat humanity is currently in a downward spiral to ruin. Triennium was an experience that allowed me to

be refreshed in the fact that at the core of humanity, we are all good.Through perseverance and a common belief in a greater, good power,we can achieve anything. The things we learned about at Triennium rein-forced my belief that humanity is good, not evil and that together withGod we can overcome any problem we face.

I appreciated the opportunity to experience another style of worship. Itwas fun to meet youth from all over the country. I was impressed withthe quality of the food considering how many people they had to serve.

– Anna Tilstra -Smith

I am soooo grateful for being able to go to Triennium this year! I met so many people that changed my lifeand that I have texted non-stop since the end of pyt. Another great thing about Triennium was trading pins!I thought it was an awesome idea and it really helped everyone's chances to get to meet more people. Ihave pins from all the way in Anchorage, Alaska, to Santa Fe, New Mexico! I am never going to be able toforget about our blaring fire alarm at 3am in our dorm building and 600+ people having to evacuate it. Eve-ryone was ready to go to sleep right on the sidewalk! Everyone at Triennium was also put into a smallgroup. No one in our delegation was in the same small group so there was no way of not making friends!My small group leader was AMAZING! He has pretty long hair and in one of our small group meetings, helet us braid it! It was really fun. My all-time FAVORITE part of Triennium was definitely worship. It was un-like any other worship I've ever been to! It was so amazing! I especially loved the energizers we did! Alt-

hough many of us wanted to sit down and relax after the long day of walking across campus, no one everturned down worship! The sermons we had each day really opened everyone's eyes about what is going onnot only in our country, but all across the world! In our free time, I mostly played ultimate frisbee with thegreat friends I made and visiting the treehouse. The tree house was located in the student union. It was sointeresting! It had facts about things like world hunger and child soldiers. Altogether, Triennium was one ofthe best experiences of my life! I wish it could be every 3 months instead of every 3 years! I really look for-ward to seeing many of the people I met and getting to do all of the fun things I got to do this year againsoon! -Crimson Tennis
