Warrenton Presbyterian Church

The Warrenton Presbyterian September 2016 Pastor’s Corner

Dear Saints of

Warrenton Presbyterian Church,

Greetings, my name is Jim Lunde and I am

overcome with joy for this opportunity to

serve as your new pastor. I am both honored

and humbled to be called to serve a church

with such a rich legacy for pastoral leadership.

I look forward to serving Christ alongside you

as we minister to the Warrenton community

and beyond. Normally, my newsletter articles

will highlight upcoming events or reflect on

something at the intersection of life and faith.

Though my first day in the office isn’t until

September 6th, I wanted to take this opportu-

nity to briefly introduce myself and my family

to you.

I am a life-long Presbyterian and a native of

Lansing, Michigan. I attended Alma College

(a Presbyterian College in Michigan) where I

studied History and Religious Studies. During

college, I spent my summers working at Mas-

sanetta Springs in Harrisonburg, Virginia, as a

camp counselor, ministry intern and, finally,

as the day camp director. My ministry experi-

ences in college helped me recognize God’s

call to ministry and led me to attend Union

Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond, Vir-

ginia.

Following graduating from seminary, I was

ordained as a Resident Pastor at Second Pres-

byterian Church, Indianapolis where I served

in a two-year pastoral residency program for

new pastors. After my residency, I accepted

the call to serve as the Pastor of Graystone

Presbyterian Church in Knoxville, Tennessee

which is where I served until accepting the

call to become your next pastor. When I’m

not doing ministry, I try to maintain a few

hobbies. I am an avid golfer and tennis

player. I enjoy hiking and tolerate jogging. I

love to travel as well as any opportunity to

watch sports–particularly if it’s my Michigan

State Spartans! Of course, my favorite thing

to do is spend time with my wonderful wife,

Marie and our daughter, Clara.

Marie and I met in college while working at

the summer camp at Massanetta Springs.

Marie is also a life-long Presbyterian from

Harrisonburg, VA and the granddaughter of a

Presbyterian minister. She is a graduate of the

University of Mary Washington and Virginia

Commonwealth University for her training in

school counseling. Marie has worked as a be-

havioral therapist and as a school research

specialist. Marie now enjoys being home with

our daughter, Clara. Clara is sixteen months’

old and enjoys finding a way to make anyone

smile or laugh. The three of us are thrilled to

be moving closer to family and to become part

of the community here in Warrenton. We

look forward to forming relationships with

you and want to thank you for your support

and hospitality.

Blessings,

Jim

“Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself” - Matthew 22:39

On August 28th, we prepared a worship service focusing on several mission projects of our church. Needless to say, we were able to focus on a few, but not all of our work. Below are a few, hope-fully interesting facts and charts for your perusal. The question be-comes, what is your mission passion – where does God lead you? k

Each year we pay from the Mission budget an amount to Shenandoah Presbytery Mission and Ministry based on our total WPC membership numbers from the previous year. Our obligation this year is about one-third of our entire mission budget. The money collected from all the churches in the presbytery creates the budget for ‘Shen Pres.’ We spend approximately one-third of our total budget on global mis-sion. We annually support missionaries in New Guinea, Central Asia, and Ethiopia. We support a health clinic in Haiti and provide scholar-ships to children in Haiti and Ethiopia. We also support an orphanage in Ethiopia. The partnership in Ethiopia is spear-headed by Shen Pres. We support Healthy Women/Healthy Families in several parts of Africa. We also support WPC mission teams to Baja, Mexico, and to Guatemala with Living Waters for the World. We use the final one-third of our total budget on local and youth mis-sion. We pay the per diem for our teens and adult chaperones to at-tend Fred Camp. For the last few years we have supplied money and volunteers for Vacation Bible School snacks and have also transferred money for bags or needed supplies. We supplement and organize vari-ous other youth mission activities. Our major local mission partners are FISH, Fauquier Habitat for Humanity, Fauquier Food Bank, and WVMAW. The next page is a chart of our mission partners.

Living Missionally September 2016

As disciples’ of Christ, we go out in mission locally, nationally and internationally with the good news of God’s

WPC Mission Budget for 2016: $50,707.00 The total budget is nearly evenly divided between our

obligation to Shenandoah Presbytery, Global mission

work and local mission work.

Living Missionally (cont’d) A Bit of Mission History: Mission has not always been a big part of WPC. Before 2003 we did not even have mission as part of the annual budget. Mission monies came out of a line item called the community service fund. No records could be found as to the amount of this fund or what, other than mission, was drawn from the fund. The largest mis-sion activities were carried out by the youth, especially the middle school Sunday School Class. The 2003 budget was the first that had a mission or benevolence line item which was set at $40,000. This was about 9% of the total budget. In 2005 the stewardship committee recommended the annual budget for mission be set at 10% of the total budget and each budget since then has tried to maintain that amount. Our relationship with FISH began in Early 2003 when the Communion Sun-day food collection began. We also are a Habitat for Humanity charter church with 2 of our members, Dick Wingo and Bill Richardson, being 2 of the 3 founders of the organization. Since 2003 mission projects, local and international, as well as con-gregation support at WPC has grown. WPC is showing we are a congregation that is doing God's work for all God's people in many different ways as our mission sup-port and participation continues to grow.** The goal of Presbyterian World Mission is to inspire, equip and connect U.S. Presby-terians and global partners for faithful and effective mission. As Presbyterians we believe we are called to mission through the discipline of partnership. This allows us to address the root causes of some of the most pervasive problems in our world—poverty alleviation and reconciliation in cultures of violence, and to more deeply engage in the work of international evangelism.* * www.presbyterianmission.org **Joan Bundy

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

CHILDREN’S WORSHIP

Resuming on September 11, children in first through third grades are invited to participate

in a study about how we worship, each Sunday except for Communion Sunday (usually

the first Sunday of each month). We believe that coming together to worship God is es-

sential for growing Christians. The children’s worship program is designed to help chil-

dren strengthen their participation in congregational worship. As children understand what

we do in worship, they can participate more fully. Children will remain in the sanctuary

on Communion Sundays to participate in the sacrament with their families.

Nursery II Bridge

During the 11:00 AM worship service, children ages 3 – 5 are invited to attend a story based program led by

staff members Georgann Bowman and Becky Guinn, coordinated through the child care program director.

Volunteers will assist each week. Children are invited to come to Room 401 after the children’s talk during

worship for age appropriate activities aimed at preparing them for worship participation.

Volunteers are needed for both the 8:45 and 11:00 AM services for Children’s Worship and for the 11:00

AM Bridge program. Contact Lucy Lindsay if you are interested and a training session will be scheduled.

Bibles will be presented to this year’s class of 4th graders during 11 AM worship on Sunday, September

11. To receive Bibles: Ella Black, Clark Bolton, Cailyn Caine, Avery Durden, Liam Kamp, Hudson

Lasser, Ryan Toothman, and Ruth Weiss. Please let Lucy Lindsay know if you have a fourth grader not

listed above.

Confirmation Class

The class of young people preparing to be confirmed as adult members of the church is held as a church school class from September 18 – June 4. The Christian Education Committee recom-mends the class for ninth graders. The group will meet during the church school hour in the church library. Teachers are Don Schupp and Lucy Lindsay. Please contact either of the teachers or call the church office for more information or to register for the class. An introductory meet-ing for confirmands and parents will be held on Rally Day, September 11 at 10:30 in the church library.

Be sure to pick up the Christian Education Brochure with more information on classes, curricula, and class location; available in the narthex.

DECENTLY AND IN ORDER

A Thousand Days

A thousand days. Or more accurately, closer to one thousand one hundred days. That’s how long WPC has been without

a regular, installed pastor. Dividing that figure by three hundred sixty five days in a year, and the figure of three years is

the result. When Carl Schmahl retired three years ago, the notion of the process taking this long was almost unthinkable,

and yet, we were told that it is about average. Some churches take longer.

As soon as he announced his retirement, the Session sprang into action, appointing a group to serve as an Interim Pastor

Search Committee. That process alone met with bumps in the road here and there, but John Snyder arrived in January of

2014 to start us in the process of studying our identity and our mission in our Mission Study. I was honored to serve on

that body. It took the Task Force about nine months to deliver that baby, but it was well researched, well written and well

received by all. More importantly, it is a document to which we may still refer for a while yet, as we continue to learn

what it is God is calling us to be and do. Hence, the title, “To Be and Do”. When we were dealt the double whammy of

losing Carrie Evans AND John Snyder so closely in succession, we were once again wounded, but by then, we had the

Pastor Nominating Committee elected to take our documents and start the process of seeking an individual to lead us for-

ward. As our second interim, God (through presbytery) sent us Phil Sommer. Phil has done a tremendous job of bringing

us forward through the processes of healing and getting used to changes happening, all in preparation for our new pastor.

When Jim Lunde arrives in our midst officially as of September 11th, we will be ready to receive him - - not as a clone of

any of our previous pastors, regular or interim - - but as himself. One who has read about who we are and what we are

being called by God to do, and mutually feels with all of us that he is ready to help to lead us in that direction.

A thousand days. Think of things that have gone from beginning to end in that time period. John Kennedy’s presidency.

Anne Boleyn’s time as wife of Henry VIII. And, on a happier note, Jesus public ministry. A president who, despite his

many human failings, famously stood up to Castro and Kruschev, set goals for the United States to win the space race and

established the Peace Corps. We Americans remember, and are still fascinated by this young and dashing president with

his beautiful wife and adorable children. Anne Boleyn bore the only children to succeed Henry VIII on the throne, despite

being cast off after being wife number 3. The movie about her was entitled, “Anne of a Thousand Days”. We can only

look back to the reign of her daughter, Elizabeth I, to see how the known world was changed in that time period. Our own

Presbyterian denomination got its initial beginnings during her reign in England, and she was a sometime, if begrudging,

ally of our own John Knox of Scotland. Of course, it is the figure of the world’s only truly divine and truly human being,

Jesus of Nazareth, that truly had the most significance in this short period of time. How do we begin to measure the im-

pact of this three-year period in this man’s life? It was a ministry served on earth in merely one thousand days or so, but

whose impact is felt in the minds and hearts of millions currently incarnate and many more who have passed on in the two

millennia since he walked the dusty lands of Palestine.

I wonder how the world might have been different if Anne Boleyn had survived as Henry’s wife and borne him another

son besides the sickly Edward, whose death put young Elizabeth on the throne? How would America, and indeed the

world, be different if John Kennedy had not been murdered, but finished out his term? Would he have served another

one? Would Lyndon Johnson have ever been president? Would we have escalated the police action (aka, war) in Viet-

nam? Would we have the same sorts of social programs? And, if Jesus had not been martyred, but lived into old age and

died of natural human causes, would the world have paid any attention to what he said and did? Wasn’t it precisely his

death and resurrection that had to happen in order to call the world’s attention to him and his message? These were proc-

esses, or events, that either served a purpose or fulfilled a prophecy.

A thousand days. A lot can happen in a thousand days. Our decent and orderly process began amid grumblings and ques-

tions about why it takes as long as it does, and why we need to perform each step. History is full of such thousand day

events that have had worldwide significance. Warrenton Presbyterian Church has needed every bit of time that we have

taken to reassess our identity and purpose. The process has necessarily been deliberate and careful. Now, let’s see what

we can do together in the next thousand days to change the part of the world in which our words and actions have influ-

ence.

May the Peace of Christ be with you!
