As the local bus driver, Justin Time knows the

ins and outs of Main Street better than anyone.

He loves his town and the people in it- even

though things might seem a little “backwards”

most of the time. You can always count on Justin

to go out of his way to lend a hand and make

someone’s day- “right on course and just in

time”!”

With a heart even bigger than her chef’s hat,

Chef Michelle Ma Belle is near and dear to

the hearts of everyone on Main Street. Her

job at the Brown Bag Bistro keeps her busy

baking and delivering tasty treats to all her

friends and neighbors. Ma Belle means “my

beautiful” in French and this beautiful lady treats eve-

ryone “beautifully!”

Everyone can help make this program a success.

Please check out our donations wish list in Park

Hall and drop off your items in our VBS donations

box. Or come help us set up our scenes during

the week of June 6 - no decorating experience is

necessary! Contact Michelle Magee at

mgmagee@gmail.com for further information on

set up needs.

Registration is due for all children the first

day of VBS - Monday, June 13. Just a reminder

that registration is $20 per child or $40 maximum

per family. Please visit http://

Faith and fun on Main Street VBS By Susan Gillies

Vacation Bible

School is almost

here! All our

volunteers and

our co-directors,

Colleen Hall and

Michelle Magee,

are hard at work making this the best VBS it can

be! Our theme this year is “Inside Out and Upside

Down on Main Street” because as we all know, Je-

sus turns our lives inside out and upside down

every day.

We can’t wait to meet all the kids who are com-

ing to learn a new “word on the street” each day -

words such as gratitude, compassion, forgiveness,

grace, and faithfulness. They’ll learn what those

words mean and how they can apply them to their

daily lives. Each day will also bring learning

through songs at the Sidewalk Celebration, story-

telling with Parable Productions, snacks at the

Brown Bag Bistro, crafts at the Fun Factory, and

games at Firehouse Fitness. In addition, we have

several new faces joining us this year:

Meet the lovely Heidi Clare, super-sleuth

extraordinaire! She’s in town to investigate

some strange events on Main Street looking

high and low for clues to explain the unusual

inside out, upside-down attitudes and behavior

she encounters. She’s sharp as a tack- but on

the wrong track. Slowly but surely, Heidi will

learn that Main Street is special not because of some

mysterious secret but because of Jesus and the differ-

ence He makes every day in the hearts and lives of

people every day!

music, food and fun for the

whole family to benefit Episco-

pal City Mission (ECM). ECM

provides chaplains to children

in the St. Louis City and

frequently have no one to

whom they can turn.

This year’s event will take place

Friday, June 10 from 5:30 to

8:30 p.m. at Emmanuel Episco-

pal Church, 9 South Bompart,

Webster Groves. Tickets are

$15 for adults and $5 for chil-

dren 5 - 12. ticket price in-

cludes dinner, beer, wine, lem-

onade and great acts from the

new “ECM Revue.” You will be

able to bid on fabulous auction

items including an afternoon

P A G E 3 S T M A R T I N S C H U R C H . O R G

Dear brothers and sis-

ters in Christ,

It is with a great deal of

gratitude that I cele-

brate your positive

response to the flood-

ing in the Poplar Bluff

area. During May’s

Priest Discretionary

Fund Sunday, I re-

quested help with the

recovery needs after flood waters

claimed farms, crops and houses

in the lower parts of that com-

munity. The total given by our

congregation was $1,405. Thank

you very much!

The Rev. Annette Joseph, the

new priest at Holy Cross Episco-

pal Church, says they are planning

with other churches in town to

have two types of assistance. The

short–term assistance will be to

meet the basic

needs of food

and shelter for

displaced

households.

The longer-

term needs

include ongo-

ing clean-up,

rebuilding and

organization of

food bags at

Holy Cross, one of only two area

food banks.

I have met their food bank coor-

dinator and seen their food pan-

try ministry first-hand and know

that they screen and assist fami-

lies very efficiently.

I spoke with Annette recently and

she told me that her food coordi-

nator called her about an hour

before to tell her that their pan-

try was now empty. She also

said that the phone was only

getting busier as people re-

group and try to organize

their lives again.

It is the long-term issues of

rebuilding a community where

I wonder if we can help in the

future. I wonder if a few Mar-

tineers would be willing to

help with part of a clean-up

project or to organize and fill

food bags at Holy Cross for a

day or two. Perhaps this

group could play hooky from

Sunday services here to wor-

ship with our diocesan sister

church there before returning

home. What do you think?

Thank you for your prayers

and action.

Blessings,

Fr. Jon

What youth group means to me

by Gina Garbo

It really is quite strange to think after so many

years I won't be a part of the St. Martin's

Youth Group. I was lucky to get to start back

when we had the Dolphins Youth Group in 5th

grade. Honestly, for a long time youth group

didn't mean too much to me. It was another

thing to do, and sure I had a few friends, and

we did some fun things, but I didn't see it how

I see it now.

I'm not really

sure when

the transition

happened,

but the last

few years

youth group

has provided

something

incredible.

The friends I

made within

youth group have quickly become some of my

closest friends. I can talk to them about any-

thing, from the hilarious thing that happened at

school, to my questions about faith. My junior

year, I had about the worst week you could

possibly imagine: a kid from the camp that I go

to passed away, my chemistry teacher was

pounding me with impossible amounts of

homework, and that was only the start. Feeling

miserable, I looked to my best friend, Jonathan,

to help find me an escape. We decided to go

to movie night at church. Not only did I re-

ceive a million hugs, but I ate and laughed until

I was sick, and truly felt the friendship that is

our congregation.

This year, once again I found myself facing

some rough times. In March my grandfather

passed away. The week before, much of my

family was constantly in the hospital to say our

goodbyes and huddle around each other. The

Sunday before he passed, we had a youth

group event, and I

knew that was

exactly where I

had to be. Of

course, my friends

drowned me in

hugs and words of

encouragement,

which made me

feel immensely

better.

Over the years

I’ve had so many

laughs, deep conversations, hugs, and hilarious

moments with youth group. I cannot believe I

will be leaving as I graduate and go on to Rock-

hurst University, but I know I will always treas-

ure it. Without youth group I would not be as

strong in faith as I am today, or as confident. I

will miss sharing moments like the bowling

together (Michael, I've still got your back!), or

just running around in a zany Minute to Win It

game. Thank you to everyone who has shaped

my experience. I cannot say thanks enough.

Preface: I asked graduating senior Gina Garbo if she would share some reflections on her youth group ex-

perience. As you’ll see, youth group is about being an accepting & loving presence for our teens, perhaps just

when they need it most. It’s truly the Holy Spirit at work! – Heidi Gioia

Ecker, Kiki Cogan, Lindsey Peters and Matthew Greenbaum during a

St. Martin's Book Club will meet Tuesday, June 28, from

7 till 8:30 p.m. in Packwood Library to discuss Every Last

One by Anna Quindlen. Newcomers

are always welcome so pick up a copy

of the book and come join the discus-

sion.

Review From Publishers Weekly:

In her latest, Quindlen (Rise and Shine)

tragic circumstances. Mary Beth

entirely devoted to her three teen-

aged children. When her talented

daughter Ruby casually announces

St. Martin’s scholarship aids local student By Youth Ministries Director

Heidi Gioia

Each year, Circle of Concern

awards scholarships to outstanding

seniors in need from area high

schools. St. Martin’s is a proud

sponsor of one of those scholar-

ships. With the continuing in-

creases in costs for higher educa-

tion, these grants provide assis-

tance to a delightful group of area

teens.

The 2011 St. Martin’s Scholarship

recipient is Chelsea Johnson. I had

the pleasure of meeting Chelsea at

this year’s award banquet. She is a

bright young woman who attends

Parkway South and is active in

Cross Country and Field Hockey.

In the fall, she will be attending

Missouri State in Springfield where

she intends to study nursing. In

order to prepare herself for this

highly selective program, Chelsea

will join a “Living & Learning”

dorm where she will be paired up

with other students majoring in

the medical fields. In addition to

sports, Chelsea works at a local

assisted living program for adults

with Alzheimer’s. She is highly

motivated & excited to begin a

new chapter in her life at Missouri

State.

Thanks to all the parishioners who

help to make the St. Martin’s

Scholarship a reality for Chelsea!

June book club she's breaking up with her boyfriend Kirenan, a former

neighbor who's become like family, Mary Beth is slightly

alarmed, but soon distracted by her son Max, who's feel-

ing overshadowed by his extroverted, ath-

letic twin brother Alex. Quindlen's novel

moves briskly, propelled by the small dra-

mas of summer camp, proms, soccer games

and neighbors, until the rejected Kirenan

blindsides the Lathams, and the reader,

with an incredible act of violence. Left with

almost nothing, Mary Beth struggles to

cope with loss and guilt, protect what she

has left, and regain a sense of meaning.

Quindlen is in classic form, with strong

characters and precisely cadenced prose

that builds in intensity.

Notes from the organ bench nelius, Mopsi Hanley, Theresa

Lubcke and Susan Shepperd.

We all enjoyed having the chil-

dren singing in worship. They

made six appearances over the

course of the school year.

Many thanks to the children,

their parents and the Christian

Formation teachers that gave

up some of their lesson time so we could re-

hearse.

Several of the youth participated as instrumen-

talists on Christmas Eve and during the rest of

the year, as well. Many thanks to Lindsey Pe-

ters, Brian Peters, Will Gerretsen, Patrick

Parker, Abby Trieschmann and Michael

Wiles.

As you can see there are a great number of

people involved in making a “joyful noise to the

Lord.” Thank them when you see them at

church. If you want to be part of this ministry

here at St. Martin’s, let me know. There is al-

ways room for one more.

As we head to-

St. Martin’s, I want

to thank all those

people who have

worked so hard to

make the music

ministry here hap-

pen. It takes a lot

of commitment and dedication to make eve-

rything happen. Here are the names of those

who have sung with the choir at some point

during the year: Caitlin Cogan, Elin Cogan-

rison, Linda Bennett, Jane Klieve, Lynn Lange,

Jeanne Whitney, Beverly DuPont, Jeff Klieve,

Kurt Greenbaum, Ray Harbert, Errington

Brown, Doug Edmonson and John Lange. This

group sang no less than 36 anthems, as well as

leading us in singing hymns, psalms and ser-

vice music.

A new bishop in our companion Diocese of Lui By Deacon Susan Naylor

On Saturday, May 14, the Province of Sudan

met in Juba to elect the new bishop for the

Diocese of Lui. We learned that Stephen

Dokolo has been elected! Many people at St.

Martin’s have had the opportunity to meet

and talk with Stephen during his two years

here among us, and more than a few walked

with him during the Walk for Water that

helped fund the wells in Lui. Congratulations

Stephen! We

pray for wisdom,

grace and humil-

ity in your new

role.

Celebrate the Holy Spirit at Pentecost

P A G E 7 S T M A R T I N S C H U R C H . O R G

Pentecost is often

called the birthday of

our church. When the

apostles heard the

rush of a violent wind,

saw tongues of fire

appear among them

and began to speak in

other languages, they

recognized the Holy

Spirit upon them. Thousands

were baptized that day and set

out to tell the world about

Jesus. (Read the story beginning

in Acts 1:2.) That was the day

we recognize as the real begin-

ning of Christianity.

Pentecost is June 12 this year

(50 days after Easter). So what

can we do to celebrate? Sure,

we can all wear red to church

to symbolize the fire. We can

fly kites and blow

bubbles to remem-

ber the great gusts

of wind. We can

release multitudes

of lady bugs to go

out and spread

God’s seeds. Those

are just a few fun

ways to celebrate

the day.

But perhaps more important, I

hope we will let that same Holy

Spirit come upon us… not that I

wish any more violent winds come

to St. Louis! But I hope we can

recognize the Holy Spirit dwell-

ing in ourselves and let it move

us. I once had a priest describe

the Holy Spirit to me as the

“verb” of the Trinity. He said

the Spirit is what makes us take

action to bring Jesus’ words to

life. I always liked that idea.

Here’s a suggestion: Pick up a

Bible and read the story of Pen-

tecost to a child or a

teen in your life. Talk

about the story and

share what the Holy

Spirit means to you.

As Peter says in Acts

2:39, “For the promise

is for you, for your

children, and for all

who are far away, eve-

ryone whom the Lord

our God calls to him.”

This Pentecost, I’m

going to listen for that call and

try to be the “verb.”

Stewardship spotlight

they would have had outdoors.”

Susan said she never thought of the hunt as

an act of stewardship before this event. “That

puts a new light on it for me,” she said. “The

ECW Easter egg hunt is a form of steward-

ship through generously funded donations

either from the members of the ECW or as

was the case this year, from an anonymous

donor. In addition, the members in charge of

the event and the volunteers who spend their

time with us Easter morning helping to run

the event are stewards through giving their

time. The ECW egg hunt has become a tradi-

tion at our church and will continue in the

future as another area of stewardship for

which we can be thankful”.

Thank you to Susan and the women of ECW

for being good stewards!

By Carole Gerretsen

Each spring the Episcopal Church Women

(ECW) host the Easter Egg hunt for St. Mar-

tin’s. This year, 34 children between the ages

of one and twelve

participated in the

tradition. ECW

provided 750

Easter eggs filled

with toys and

candy, Amazingly,

the eggs were

donated by an

anonymous mem-

ber! ECW also purchased four raffle baskets

with prizes which were awarded to boys and

girls in the “five and under” and “six and

over” category. Julie Clark spear-headed this

event and ordered all of the eggs from Sunny

Bunny Industries – a company which em-

ploys disabled people to

fill the eggs.

Susan Gillies, this year’s

ECW President, said,

“Despite the rainy

weather preventing the

Easter egg hunt from

being held outside, all

the comments we re-

ceived stated the hunt

was successful and the

kids had just as much

fun hunting for eggs

downstairs in our Sun-

day school rooms as

Scripture tells us that blessings shared, multiply and multiply and multiply.

If you have a story you’d like to share, please contact a member of our Stewardship Committee:

Jeff & Jane Klieve (co-chairs), Murrell Cunningham, Mary Drastal, Carole Gerretsen, Janis Greenbaum.

Christian stewardship is the grateful and responsible use of God's gifts in

the light of God's purpose as revealed in Jesus Christ. Christian stewards,

empowered by the Holy Spirit, commit themselves to conscious, purpose-

ful decisions.

Ella takes a break from her search for

Easter treasure.

Our thanks to Larry Robertson for his presentation to St.

Martin’s in May.

For those of you who missed this interactive session, you may

visit his website at www.ljrobertson for further information.

Writing your will is the most important step you can take in

planning your estate. Without one, your wishes for your as-

sets and their distribution could be in jeopardy. A properly

prepared will is a very effective means for accomplishing many

goals, including charitable intentions. It would be our hope

that your spiritual home at St. Martin’s would be carefully con-

sidered. What follows is an example of how one person hypo-

thetically used her will to benefit the church:

She is an active member of St. Martin’s, attending weekly, pledging

faithfully and participating where she can in other church activities.

As the years passed by, she has remembered the church in many

honorariums. Her children went to Sunday school here and, al-

though now in different cities, still come back for holidays to see her

and the friends they have developed at St. Martin’s. Last year,

sadly, she lost her husband of forty years, and she was supported in

a very meaningful way by her life-long friends and her Stephen’s

Minister at St. Martin’s. Lately, she has been praying over how she

could perpetuate her support to this wonderful church, which

been her spiritual home and the home of her family for so many

years. She has decided to make a bequest to The Legacy

Fund for the purpose of augmenting her annual stewardship into

perpetuity.

A bequest can be made directly to St. Martin’s Legacy

Fund which stipulates that the income from the endow-

ment can be used for special needs. As with any true en-

dowment, the principal will be held intact. Members of the

Legacy Fund Committee would be happy to answer ques-

tions about preparing a specific bequest to St. Martin’s at

any time… or feel free to contact Larry Robertson or your

own personal attorney for professional advice.

By Sherry Algren

Our building and grounds got a

good clean-up during the May 1

Service Day. We fixed a hole in

the church wall on the east side of

the church, leveled the handi-

capped walk, weeded the gardens,

organized the altar guild supplies,

cleaned the pews, re-hung the

pictures in the narthex, planted

flowers in the north circle in mem-

ory of Don Harbaugh, the children

painted the trash enclosure with

their shadows, we tied blankets

and made cards for the card minis-

try. The hospitality committee

provided a lunch for the work-

ers. All in all, it was a day to renew

friendships, make new friends and

enjoy being in community.
