Called to Worship, Empowered to Serve

Thank you and Farewell to John

Sunday, January 7, 2018, will be Reverend John Muse’s last service with us. He’ll

conclude his tenure as our transitional minister on January 9, 2018.

It is hard to believe that John has only been with us for six months! During his tenure,

he has worked diligently to develop relationships, provide pastoral care, give

valuable guidance to our Pastoral Nominating Committee, and serve as an effective

and approachable head of staff. His leadership has helped to prepare the way for a

smooth transition for our new pastor, Charlie Lee, who will join us in February.

The transition team is exceedingly grateful to John for his dedicated leadership,

service, energy and enthusiasm. He will be missed.

In the coming weeks, please take the time to thank John (in person, or drop him a

quick note or email) for his dedicated service to our church. Please also keep John

and his family in your prayers as he seeks another opportunity to serve in transitional

ministry.

Gratefully,

The Transition Team:

Kevin Kattmann

Susan Porter

Rhonda Overman

Slade Lewis - Chair

On Sunday, December 10th, the

congregation voted unanimously to call

Rev. Dr. Charlie Lee as Starmount’s next

pastor and head of staff. Charlie will begin

his ministry at Starmount on February 19, 2018.

Watch for more information to come in the

next Star Press.

A new year is known for

starting fresh – for new

chapters. Resolutions of

better eating, more

exercise, and spending

less are some of the

most popular. New

chapters begin here at

Starmount – this month, we celebrate the

ministry that Rev. John Muse had with us

over the last seven months. Next month, we

welcome Rev. Dr. Charlie Lee, his wife

Lindsay, and their children Jackson and

Eliza into our Starmount family. So many

changes that seem to come at once…but,

as I have witnessed over the last 2+ years,

we are a resilient congregation, rooted in

God’s love for us and our love for one

another.

As we say goodbye to John and make

preparations for Charlie, I encourage you to

take a moment to say “thank you” to the

members of the Transition Team, Session,

and staff – all have kept the ship on a

steady course as the Pastoral Nominating

Committee did their work on behalf of the

congregation. It has been a long, winding

road – but a road full of wonderful

memories as we worked to understand

who we are as a body of Christ. And what

a wonderful gift that is!

What new chapters are you looking

forward to in this New Year? I look forward

to hearing how God is working in your lives

through these new chapters.

Blessings and love,

Pastor Kathryn

Faith Formation

Change Coming to Adult Sunday

School for Lent The Faith Formation

Committee has agreed to

“shake up” Adult Sunday

School during Lent. Starting

February 14, Adult Sunday

School will be held in small

groups in homes of

members of the church

family at times that are agreed upon by the

whole group. The small groups, comprised of

6-8 people, will covenant with one another

to meet weekly during the weeks of Advent

to learn how they can integrate the Christian

Practices of Evangelism that Pastor Kathryn

identified and defined in her Doctor of

Ministry project. The Committee will be hard

at work in January identifying small group

leaders and participants; if you would like to

be a leader (or participate), please talk to

Pastor Kathryn.

Sunday

January 2018 5

Thank you to all who donated food to the SPY

end-of-year party! We had a great (and well

fed) night because of you. Thank you to the

volunteers who have provided transportation,

meals and leadership these past few months.

If you’re interested in supporting our youth in

the coming year by providing any of these,

contact Laura. SPY will resume on January 7th

for a Minute-To-Win-It game night! SPY will be

going to Out of the Garden on Saturday,

January 27 from 9:30-12:30. Be on the lookout

for the January calendar in your inbox and

around the church!

Confirmation Class 2018 If you are a student in 8th grade or older you

are encouraged to contact Pastor Kathryn.

Interested students will gather monthly with

other students from churches in the presbytery

to learn about their own faith while building

relationships with one another. If you have

questions or would like to join Pastor Kathryn

and friends on this faith journey, please talk to

her ASAP!

Young Adults Please continue to send Laura your contact

information (address, email, phone number).

We would like to be able to contact you and

have more young adult events!

Guinness and the Good News Guinness and the Good News continues at

The Porterhouse Bar & Grill! If you are a young

adult and would like to enjoy fellowship, food,

and great conversation, meet Pastor Kathryn

and others at 4608 W. Market Street (between

Montrose and N. Westgate Drive) for the

gathering’s next installment on Wednesday, February 7 at 8 p.m.

UKirk and Starmount attend the

Montreat College Conference January 2-5 each year is an exciting time that

college students always look forward to. Why

those specific dates? Because it’s the same

dates, each year, of the Montreat College

Conference! This year, ten members of UKirk

Greensboro, including two Starmount college

students, will join over 1,000 other college

students from across the country at the

annual College Conference.

This year’s conference theme is “Home”.

“Home” has many meanings to people of

faith. As young people go to college, study

abroad, begin jobs, engage in mission work,

and leave their hometowns and families of

origin, “Home” begins to have new meanings.

What makes a place home? What does it

mean to leave home? What does it mean to

feel like you don’t have a home? As

participants wrestle with these questions, they

look to the past and to Holy Scriptures; as

people of faith, with an eye towards a just

future and commissioned by God to engage in

Kingdom-building, they will reflect on those

who do not have a home and cry out for

justice and mercy.

Please pray for them during this conference

and make sure to ask questions about it when

you see them!

Women’s Retreat February 16-18, 2018

Where: Montreat

How: Watch for sign-up coming soon!

(from 2017 Women’s Retreat)

In November of 2017, we celebrated the

65th anniversary of Starmount Presbyterian

Church which was formed in 1952. This

year we'll take a peek at what went on

during Starmount's first year.

The first regular worship service under the

name Starmount Presbyterian Church was

Jan. 4th, 1953. Worship services were held

at 3:00 p.m. at First Moravian Church until

the Starmount Church building was

completed. Count from that first service

was 107 adults and 45 children.

The first fellowship dinner was held on

Tues, Jan. 13th, at 6:30 p.m. in the

basement of First Presbyterian Church at a

cost of 60 cents a plate. There were two

volunteer committees in charge, one of

ladies to prepare and serve the meal and

a men's committee to clean up. The next

week's bulletin indicated that

approximately 150 people enjoyed the

meal.

At Salem Presbytery's meeting, the same

day as the fellowship dinner, L.B.

McBrayer, a member of the board of

elders, asked that Starmount Church,

Greensboro, be put on the budget for

$6,000.

Finance Committee

Love of Numbers or Love of

Starmount?

During a recent particularly challenging

meeting, a member of the Finance

Committee remarked “Isn’t it just wonderful

that all of us love numbers?” The Committee

members stopped to laugh, but slogged on

through the rest of the numbers on the

financial statements that Libby Wilson,

Director of Finance and Administration,

prepares so diligently and accurately

every month, often in different iterations for

different users and different purposes.

The arcane nature of the Finance

Committee’s tasks, and the members’

geeky love of numbers, belies the fact that

the Committee members love Starmount

first and foremost, and are driven in their

dedication to see Starmount’s history

preserved and its legacy as a mission-driven

church protected, mindful of its place in the

community and in the lives of its members.

The Committee does this by monitoring the

financial dynamics of the church...what it

receives as income from congregational

pledges, gifts and earnings on investments,

and what it disburses to cover operating

expenses including salaries, the

commitments of the Mission Committee, and

the costs to administer other church

programs such as Fellowship, Worship and

Music, Youth, among others.

The majority of the eight current members of

the Committee are long-time members of

Starmount. They raised their children at

Starmount; they have served as Elders and

on various committees within the church.

They are financial professionals:

CPAs, practicing accountants, corporate

comptrollers or treasurers, bankers, business

consultants. They each bring dozens upon

dozens of years of experience to the table,

as well as a diversity of insights and opinions

on “best practices” that often factor into

each deliberation of the Committee. There

is generally consensus on the most technical

aspect of each decision, but until all

members are heard, there is rarely

consensus on how best to meet a particular

challenge or need. And then and only then

when the matter at hand is debated and

debated, is a decision reached, usually as a

consensus, but always with the deepest

respect for the opinions of all the members.

These past two calendar years have been

financially challenging, despite the awe-

inspiring bequest of Lillian Steele which has

been deployed to great and beneficial

effect for so many! There have been some

times when the rigors of financial discipline

have required that Finance recommend

some draconian measures to ensure that

Starmount’s history is preserved and its

legacy is protected for the good that surely

lies beyond a short-term vision and

timeline. That vision now includes a new

pastor. That timeline is now the new

year. And Starmount remains on strong

financial footing still with no debt and

significant liquidity, and still with a Finance

Committee populated with members that

continue to love numbers, even as they wish

them to be larger!

New Year’s

Resolutions? It’s the time of year when

we look back at 2017

and resolve to improve

our lives in small or large

ways in 2018. What are

your new year’s resolutions?

The most common new year’s resolutions are (1)

exercise more 38%, (2) lose weight 33%, (3) eat

more healthily 32%, (4) take a more active

approach to health 15%, (5) learn a new skill or

hobby 15%, (6) spend more time on personal

wellbeing 12%, and (7) spend more time with

family and friends 12%.

Join your friends at a yoga class at Starmount

and satisfy almost all of the most common

resolutions. Yoga won’t directly help you eat

more healthily, but it can help with all of the

other ones!

With six classes a week you are sure to find one

that matches your needs. Our two chair classes

on Tuesday and Friday at 11:30 are suitable for

folks who are not sure their bodies are up to the

challenge of yoga. Out of the Chair on Thursday

at 11:30 welcomes folks who can get up and

down from the floor, but who hesitate to step

into a “regular” yoga class. Friday at 9:30 am,

Sunday at 5:30 pm, and Wednesday at 7:30 pm

you will find classes that incorporate classic

yoga poses with restorative yoga, some Pilates,

and whatever will make your body feel

challenged and stretched on that day.

Look for the yoga flyers at the visitor and

reception desks to see the schedule of classes. If

you have questions, please contact Jennifer

Dowler at [email protected] or catch

Jennifer at church. Or you can just show up at a

class. Namaste!

Important change— The usual noon

meeting on Jan. 17th will be at 10:30 due

to a conflict with The Story Bible study

meeting at noon.

The Lake House, A Novel by Kate Morton

(512 p.) “Living on her family’s idyllic

lakeside estate in Cornwall, England,

Alice Edevane is a bright, inquisitive, and

precociously talented sixteen-year-old

who loves to write stories. One midsummer’s

eve, after a beautiful party drawing

hundreds of guests to the estate has

ended, the Edevanes discover that their

youngest child, eleven-month-old Theo,

has vanished without a trace. He is never

found, and the family is torn apart, the

house abandoned. Decades later, Alice

is living in London, having enjoyed a long

successful career as a novelist. Miles

away, Sadie Sparrow, a young detective

in the London police force, is staying at

her grandfather’s house in Cornwall.

While out walking one day, she stumbles

upon the old Edevane estate—now

crumbling and covered with vines. Her

curiosity is sparked, setting off a series of

events that will bring her and Alice

together and reveal shocking truths

about a past long gone...yet more

present than ever. A lush, atmospheric

tale of intertwined destinies from a

masterful storyteller, The Lake House is an

enthralling, thoroughly satisfying read.”

Enough, Discovering Joy

Through Simplicity and

Generosity by Adam Hamilton.

“We are living in uncertain time

economically. Uncertain times

can cause us to reflect upon

our focus and priorities and this

is what the book is all about. Hamilton is too

grounded to simplify this into saying ‘just

give ten percent to the church and

everything will be okay.’ This is about

changing our relationship with money by

focusing on our relationship with God. This is

about making changes in the way we live

that better reflect who we are. The text is full

of scripture references and there is

something different about how Hamilton

references the Bible. These are not just

‘proof texts’ that mention money. They are

texts that point out our need to refocus on

God, our need to see that our brokenness

and emptiness will never be cured by

buying, owning and possessing. We are led

to find our peace and contentment in God

and be free to live life in simplicity and to

share generously. The book is spiritual based,

but when you get right down to it, it is

practical. Whether you are living with the

fear of economic uncertainty and need

some wisdom or even if you seem to have

that all together and just need guidance

about how you might help someone you

love, give this book a read.” Review from

Amazon.com Call no. 241.68 Ha 2009

A New Earth, Awakening to Your

Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle.

“This is a fantastic book for the

spiritual seeker. It helped me a lot

during a highly volatile time in my

life, where I was going through a

job loss and a divorce. Some

people find Eckhart Tolle a bit dry, or a bit

obtuse, but for me, he was spot on...and

spoke to me in the language I find most

useful. In short, as with all spiritual guru type

advice, there is no ‘one size fits all’, no

‘single language’, and definitely no ‘the

only way’ (or Tao). His words helped me see

past the challenges of the moment, and

provided for me a language, and a context

for how to work through the challenges of

my reality at that time. Now, nearly 10 years

later, his words and insights are part of my

thought paradigm, and I no longer 'think' of

his words, they are just part of how I

perceive the now, or 'reality'. I highly

recommend this book.” Amazon.com

Throw Out Fifty Things, Clear

Cutter, Find Life by Gail Blanke.

‘”Our lives are so filled with junk

from the past-from dried up tubes

of crazy glue to old grudges-that

it's a wonder we can get up in the

morning, never mind to work, care for our

children, our parents and just put one foot in

front of the other."’ Blanke wants to start a

movement of people across America

throwing out fifty things (magazines count as

only one!) that will help liberate us from the

stuff-both physical and mental-that clutters

our lives. It is the physical stuff that keeps us

from being happy and calm in our house -

not to mention keeps us from finding our

keys in the morning! And it is the clutter in

our mind that drags us down and holds us

back from living the life we want to live.

Blanke will take the reader through each

room in the house and help her figure out

what to throw out that will help them move

forward. She'll show us how to find and

throw out ‘toxic’ possessions that remind us

of failed relationships, bad jobs, etc, and

she'll help us figure out what to keep to help

us find out who we really are.” From
