reflection Dear Friends,

When I first arrived at Second Presby-

terian Church, I was aware of the

characterization of this church as a

sons, who voiced that opinion did not

intend to imply that the church was

asleep with no significant ministry

taking place. The sleeping giant image

was a way to say that this congrega-

tion has a profoundly rich history of

and a wealth of resources ready to be

unleashed for his purposes in a rap-

idly-changing and challenging age.

touched on the same theme. Many of

you are bearing witness to the love,

mercy, and justice of Jesus Christ

through your daily interactions with

others, the sharing of your financial

resources, your leadership on the

boards of various charitable organiza-

tions, and your quiet acts of compas-

sion toward those in need. There is no

way to quantify how much giving

away takes place through our mem-

in Luke, chapter seven, about his pas-

sionate commitment to stand with

and for the lost, the left out, the op-

pressed and the poor, I was taken by

the potential of this congregation to be

an even more powerful force for wit-

ness to Christ in this community and

beyond.

As I said Sunday, we are an exceed-

ingly rich congregation! Many of you

are stewards of significant amounts of

financial resources. There is within

our membership a wealth of experi-

ence, abilities, and intelligence. Many

of you have strong connections with

those who can make things happen

and are yourselves people with influ-

ence. You love this church and this

community and want both to be the

most they can be. My eyes light up and

my pulse quickens when I think of

what Second Presbyterian Church has

to offer a hurting world and how we

might harness those resources effec-

tively and faithfully.

We are well aware of the issues of race

and poverty that continue to haunt our

city and the plague of substance abuse

and addiction that shows no sign of

abating. Of course, there are many

other pressing needs around us. How

do we respond? I believe it all begins

with worship. Worship is where we

hear a vision of truth, of reality, that we

hear nowhere else. Worship is where

we turn away from ourselves to the

God of Jesus Christ and get our heads

and hearts right. Worship is where we

find hope, where we are strengthened,

where we are shaped and given the

tools to witness to Jesus Christ in the

world beyond our church doors. Come

to worship. Make it a priority. Over

time, you will be transformed.

Beyond the centrality of worship, I

would welcome your ideas and

thoughts, your passions and commit-

-on-one

and in gatherings and with the leader-

ship of this congregation about how to

best harness our wealth in this time

and place for the sake of the kingdom,

be surprised if your phone rings or

holy conversation.

Grace and peace,

Steve

Get ready to laugh! Saturday, April 1, at 4p in the Chapel a cast of 12 singers will re-

gale you with a comedic twist on this beloved tale, followed by a church-wide family dinner at 5:15 to top

wald as the Fairy God- -mother, Krista

Crossroads D irector Begins Her Ministry

On February 1, the Rev. Dr. Dianne Reistroffer

began her ministry as inaugural director of

Crossroads Ministry, a visionary outreach pro-

gram in adult religious education focused on

topics of spiritual formation, recovery, mis-

sion, and programs aimed at educating, in-

spiring, and equipping Christians to make

their lives count to themselves, to others, and to God.

Dr. Reistroffer is an ordained minister in the United Methodist

Church and Professor Emerita of Ministry and Methodist Stud-

ies at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary where she

also served as first woman Dean of the Seminary. Her Ph.D.

work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison focused on adult

religious education, and before she attended seminary at Boston

University in the 1980s, she served as Adult Education Coordi-

nator for a large congregation where she oversaw more than 100

adult learning groups. Dianne, the proud pet-parent of Maya, a

five-year-old black Lab, has lived in Louisville for eighteen

years. She enjoys watching sports of all kinds and cheers regu-

larly for the Villanova Wildcats, Wisconsin Badgers, and the

Green Bay Packers. Ecumenically-minded, she also roots for

both the Kentucky Wildcats and Louisville Cardinals.

Over the next three months, Dianne will continue to conduct

assessment activities with program staff and members of the

Crossroads Advisory Team, members of the congregations and

staff of local churches in the area. As the name implies, Cross-

roads strives to meet people at the intersection of their faith and

lives. Explicitly ecumenical and open to the community, Cross-

roads programs will build on the solid foundations of adult faith

formation already in place at Second Presbyterian. As this new

multi-faceted ministry rolls out, members of the congregation

will have opportunities to give feedback about Crossroads.

The Launching Years

March 19, the Launching Years class will begin a study

based on the book Falling Upward: A spirituality for the

two halves of life, by Richard Rohr. It is a fantastic book.

The 2017 tour will be held May 20 and May 21, from 10a-5p,

rain or shine. Patrons will visit five lovely gardens, and the

living area of two of the homes.

The Kilgore Samaritan Counseling Center is a ministry of

Second Presbyterian Church in conjunction with St. Francis

in the Fields Episcopal Church. Each year, the Center spon-

sors a House and Garden Tour to raise funds for scholar-

ships for those unable to pay the full fee. No one is turned

purpose.

Sponsorships are a major part of our fund-raising efforts and

range from $250 to $2,500. If you or your company would

be interested in being a sponsor call either Ann Fleming at

895-8567 or [email protected] or Joan Gaston at 896-

8322 or [email protected].

Volunteers are the secret of success. Help is needed with

ticket taking, parking, and guiding guests through the

homes and gardens. If you would like to help, please fill out

the form below and put it in the Kilgore mailbox at Second

Pres next to the church office area. There are four shifts,

each 3 1/2 hours long. Please indicate the day and time you

will be available. For more information, contact Cheryl Coo-

per at 897-1152 or [email protected].

Henri Nouwen: Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a

Secular World

In case you are reading this for the first time, or have

missed the last few Kilgore Korners, here is a brief summary

Life of

the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World. The book is

based on a close friendship Nouwen cultivated with a jour-

nalist who was assigned to do an article on him. He began

with an emphasis on identity, fully grasping who we are as

-

derstand who we are, we can then do the work of

the world as helpful in putting our identity into everyday

practice.

I have found it helpful to use four words: taken, blessed, bro-

ken, and given.

The first word taken, Nouwen prefers to replace with

chosen. Sit for a minute with what it means to be chosen. Talk-

love have seen you as precious, as of infinite beauty, as of

eternal value. When love chooses, it chooses with a perfect

sensitivity for the unique beauty of the chosen one, and it

Consider

the opposite of being chosen rejected, abandoned, ne-

source of many of our personal, interpersonal, and existential

problems come from not knowing (emotionally and intellec-

tually) that we are chosen by God. It is unavoidable, in this

day and age, that being chosen means another is not, and the

one chosen is elevated above the other. While this may be the

way of the world, this is not so with the love of God. Thanks

be to God!

If you, or someone you care about, need help through any of

Talking about death with kids can be tricky. Permanence and

know that the people they love and trust will always be there.

The crucifixion is a heinous event and should not be focused

on with little ones. For pre-schoolers, the best way to tell the

story is to stay focused on the whole picture, especially the

resurrection. As your children age through grade school,

more details can be shared.

Focus on the big picture. Avoid gruesome details that can cre-

his friends, and others who had heard him speak. But Jesus was

killed on a cross. They thought this would get rid of Jesus. Think

Invite questions, but allow your children to ask for the details

they want. It is o.k. to not know the answer!

Consider shifting your language from Easter to Resurrection

Sunday to distance from the Easter bunny.

Depending on your theological bent, I would encourage

avoiding substitutional and penal atonement theories (i.e.

Jesus died in your place). Children already feel imperfect, are

easily prone to shame and are lacking in power. Developmen-

Experience the resurrection story again with your children.

4010 Old Routt Road, is a great place for kids to spend the day in an exciting, nurtur-ing, Christian envi-ronment! Have fun swimming, doing en-ergizers, archery, hiking, canoeing, arts and crafts and Bi-ble study. Day Camp Bus stops:

Beulah Presbyterian Church Watterson Elementary Meadowview Presbyterian Church Target –Hurstbourne/Taylorsville Rd Tully Elementary Kroger—Taylorsville/Gene Snyder Crescent Hill Presbyterian Church Second Presbyterian Church Harvey Browne Memorial PC

Day campers need a sack lunch and swim gear. Overnight campers usually stay in home-away-from-home cabins with air conditioning. Kids must bring their own sheets or a sleeping bag and a pillow. All counselors attend training be-fore camp and learn first aid and CPR. Many of our counselors are also lifeguard-certified. Check the website for more information cedarridgecamp.com.
