Understanding church membershipWhether youre new to St. Mar-

tins, a teenager or a cradle Epis-

copalian, you might want to con-

sider becoming a member of our

church in 2011. Here are some

quick definitions and explana-

tions of what membership

means in our church:

All baptized persons registered

in the parish are officially

members of St. Martins Epis-

copal church.

A communicant is a baptized

member who has received com-

munion at our church at least

three times within the past year.

A communicant in good

standing is a communicant of

this church who has been faithful

in corporate worship, unless for

good cause prevented, and has

been faithful in working, praying

and giving for the spread of the

Kingdom of God.

If you moved here from another

Episcopal church or were con-

firmed at another Episcopal

church, you should request a

Transfer of Membership . This

is a formal request our office

sends to that church, asking for

your membership records. If you

were a member of another de-

nomination church, our office can

send that church a letter, letting

them know your spiritual care

and membership is now with St

Martins.

Episcopal Church canons say th

confirmation is expected, but

not required, for church mem-

bership. At St. Martins, we en-

courage everyone to make that

mature, public commitment to

Christ. Continued on pa

Inquirers and

Confirmation ClassSundays, 4 - 6 p.m.Feb. 13 - April 10

All new members, teens and any-one wanting to explore their faithand refresh their knowledge aboutthe Episcopal Church are welcome

The middle wayP A G E 3S T M A R T I N S C H U R C H . O R G

Each Wednesday, we

celebrate the Eucharist

during the noon lunch

hour. The service isonly about 45 minutes

so that anyone who

needs to get some-

where by 1 p.m. can do

so with ease. The lit-

urgy is abbreviated and

usually follows the Book

of Common Prayer ser-

vice. The homily is short and is

based on the daily saints life and

ministry or the daily office scrip-

tures, if there happens to be no

saints name assigned to that day.

The short biographical readings

about the saints come from a

collection from the Episcopal

Church U.S.A. and around the

Anglican Communion called

Holy Women, Holy Men, Cele-brating the Saints. The service

usually gathers about 20 folks and

serves as a great way to recon-

nect with God mid-week.

One thing I

have noticed

lately is how

many of thesaints were

regular peo-

ple. I used to

lift them up to

a status that

was unreal,

thinking they

were all super-

human. In reality, they were

regular folks who participated in

work made possible through

Gods providence. It is tempting

to think that their contributions

were mostly due to their own

maneuvering. However, what I

have come to see is that their

work was a result of day to day

faithfulness to Gods will. They

were not so much focused onblazing any trails as they were

centered in Gods power to

change their given situation over

time. Yes, there were often dra-

matic circumstances surrounding

them, but upon closer examination

of their choices, there was a pat-

tern of consistency relying onGods will to direct their decisions

during their life. There was no pie

in the sky escapism for these

saints. Rather, a steady stream of

prayers and actions. Their beliefs

were fashioned after their prayer

life. They remained grounded and

in the middle. Anxieties of the

times did not become their an-

chors. They were free.

I wonder if God is still making

saints who are faithful in the op-

portunities afforded to ones daily

life. I wonder if Jesus words from

the gospel of John, I am the vine,

you are the branches lets us

know that it is precisely the life

that abides in Gods goodness that

finds everlasting freedom in whatis ours to claim and what is Gods.

Cheers,

Fr. Jon

Its not often that one person volunteers, without

being asked, to take on a huge project involvingchildren at church. But thats exactly what Ralph

Trieschmann did by taking on the role of directorof our childrens Christmas pageant. I wanted

to direct

because Ihave a love

for our

church, our

kids and

drama,

Ralph said,

and I get a

sense of

fulfillmentbecause

this satis-

fied all three interests. It gives me a chance to give

back.

Ralph worked with Music Director Earl Naylor

and Christian Formation Director Janis

Greenbaum to plan the details of this joyous holi-

day tradition. Each Saturday morning in Decem-

ber, Ralph rehearsed with a group of about 15

children, ages 3 to 13. His playful personality kept

the children engaged and the production on

schedule. Ralph let the children take the spotlight

and created a memorable Christmas Eve service

for our parish.

It was utterly fulfilling, Ralph commented. It

was fun to get to know the kids and other par-

ents and

to put my

spin onthe

Christmas

story.

Ralph and

his wife

Michelle

have been

members

at St. Mar-

tins for

about two

years. They have two children, Abby and

Walker, and live in Wildwood. Ralph works for

Enterprise Holdings, doing marketing and part-

nership development.

When it comes to stewardship, Ralph says he

strongly believes in giving time, talent and treas-

ure. Being a part of a community, you cant just

not participate, Ralph said. Im just drawn in bythe energy and efforts of others - not simply to

be a witness, but a participant.

Stewardship spotlight

Scripture tells us that blessings shared, multiply and multiply and multiply.If you have a story youd like to share, please contact a member of our

new year-round Stewardship Committee: Jeff & Jane Klieve (co-chairs), Murrell Cunningham, Mary Drastal and Janis Greenbaum.

Would you like toknow more about

year-roundstewardship?

Join us for our next meeting Wed., Feb. 9

at 7 p.m.

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 toconscious, purposeful decisions.

Each month, St. Martins stewardship committee will share an example of good stewardship. This months spotlight is on Ralph Trieschmann.

personnel, including Admiral Mike

Mullen, and the warm reception his

work has found among the officer

corps. The careful line CAI threadsbetween former mujahideen com-

manders, ex-Taliban and village eld-

ers, and the American soldiers sta-

tioned in their midst is poetic in its

political complexity and compassion-

ate consideration. Using schools not

bombs to promote peace is a goal

that even the most hard-hearted can

admire, but to blandly call this book

inspiring would be dismissive of all the hard work

that has gone into the mission in Afghanistan as

well as the efforts to fund it. Mortenson writes of

nothing less than saving the future, and his adven-

ture is light years beyond most attempts. Morten-

son did not reach the summit of K2, but oh, the

heights he has achieved.

St. Martin's Book Club meets on the

fourth Tuesday of each month from

7 to 8:30 p.m. in Packwood Library.

Newcomers are always welcome.February 22 - Stones into

Schools: Promoting Peace with

Education in Afghanistan and

Pakistan by Greg Mortenson

Review from Booklist:

Mortensons best -seller, Three Cups

of Tea (2009), introduced his com-

mitment to peace through education

and became a book-club phenome-non. He now continues the story of how the Central

Asia Institute (CAI) built schools in northern Afghani-

stan. Descriptions of the harsh geography and more

than one near-death experience impress readers as

new faces join Mortensons loyal Dirty Dozen as

they carefully plot a course of school-building through

the Badakshan province and Wakhan corridor. Mort-

enson also shares his friendships with U.S. military

Music Sundays for childrenMusic is a vital part of our worship

services at St. Martins and we want

to give all ages the opportunity to

participate.

Children in preschool through 5th

grade are invited to join us for

four special music Sundays this

spring. We will rehearse from 9 till

10 a.m.

(during the

Sunday

school hour)

in the under-

croft music

room and

perform at

the beginning

of the 10:15worship service. All students are

welcome to have fun singing and

learning about music

and worship in our

church.

Although these classes

are designed foryounger students, I

would be happy to

work with and feature

middle and high school

students in separate musical per-

formances during our services.

Living up to the Childrens Charter P A G E 7S T M A R T I N S C H U R C H . O R G

Then Jesus took thechildren in his arms,placed his hands oneach of them and

blessed them. Mark10:16When my daughterwas about 3-years old,she began asking melots of questions aboutangels, death andheaven. I knew I needed somesupport from above. Like me,many people come to church as

adults because we want to giveour children a place to exploretheir questions about faith andlearn about Gods love.

Children are innately spiritual, cu-rious, open and accepting. Theyre

forming their own beliefs aboutGod, whether or not theyre at-

tending church. When we provideopportunities for children to ex-

plore their faith, we help shapetheir lives and, in turn, they cantransform our church.The Childrens Charter of the

Episcopal Church calls us to re-

ceive, nurture and treas-ure each child as a giftfrom God. That seems likea pretty simple idea, but it

isnt always so simple tocarry out. At St. Martins,

we want to engage chil-dren of all ages in the lifeof our church. We offerSunday school classes, chil-drens worship. youth

group activities, confirmationclasses and vacation Bible school.But it doesnt all happen within

our church walls. I challenge youto think of ways you can make adifference in your childs (or

grandchilds or neighbors or

friends) faith life. Here are a

few suggestions:- bring a child to a St. Mar-tins program (make it a

habit!);- give a child a Bible or a

book of prayers;- talk to a child about yourfaith life;- serve in a childrens minis-try;

- ask a child how his/her day was;- pray for the children in your life,in our church and around theworld.

Have you noticed all the beautifulchildren running the halls of St.Martins on Sunday mornings?

They are truly a blessing. I hopewe can work together as partnersto receive, nurture and treasureeach one in the year ahead.Faithfully yours,

JanisRead the complete Childrens

Understanding church membershipContinued from page 1

We offer inquirers and confirmation classes to guide

you through a spiritual process to decide whether or

not you want to make that commitment. Our next

class begins Sunday, Feb. 13 and is open to all teens

and adults.

After completing this class, youre eligible to be con-

firmed, received or reaffirmed in the Episcopal

Church. Confirmation is for anyone who is bap-

tized, but never confirmed; or confirmed in a non-

apostolic (Baptist, Methodist, etc.) denomination.

Reception is for anyone who is baptized and previ-

ously confirmed in another apostolic church (Roman

Catholic or ELCA). Reaffirmation is for anyone

who is baptized and previously confirmed in the Epis-

copal Church.

Confused? Come to our inquirers and confirmation

class this winter and spring. The experience will help

you understand and give you a real feeling of

belonging at St. Martins.

Greetings to you from the Diocese of Lui in

the wonderful name of our Savior Jesus Christ.

We hope that you are all fine and doing well.

We in the Diocese of

Lui are very thankful to

you for your prayersand financial support

for us during the criti-

cal time we went

through December last

year. We are thankful to you because you

stood with us during the time of illness of our

Diocesan Bishop and your support helped us

to meet all the hospital bills and also enabled

us to bring Bishop Bullen's body back home in

Lui.

In fact, we do not know how to thank you

because we do not have all the words that can

express how we feel about your support, it is

beyond what can be said in words. Thank you

so much for being our partner during the

happy times as well as bad times.

We are thankful to you and to God for making

it possible for you to support us, your love and

kindness will never be forgotten by the Dio-cese of Lui.

Thank you so much for everything.

God Bless You.

Blood drive reportfrom DArcy Elsperman

Thank you to all who participated by donating blood in

the St. Martins blood drive held January 13. The event

was run very efficiently by the American Red Cross

with the help of our volunteers: Phyllis Duff, Linda Hu-

heey, Bev Kinkade, Jeanne King, and Jennifer Necker-mann, who was chairman for the day.

32 productive units were collected. The majority of

donors were members of St. Martins, but a few people

saw the signs posted outside and also donated. Thank

you to all who gave the gift of life with your donation of

blood. The Red Cross will be calling St. Martins again

to hold another drive.
