Dear Parents and Volunteers, I recently heard this awesome sermon about the Right Diet for followers of Jesus. The core of the message is we all need daily servings of Jesus. But unlike fruits, veggies and carbs, we are encouraged to  have an unlimited number of servings! For this foodie, an unlimited number of servings is a joyous celebration. :) In SR HI youth we have begun talking about listen to God (another way of saying prayer), and how this is an activity we need to indulge in daily. Ask your SR HI youth if they know the difference between hearing and listening? Servant Sunday is around the corner and we have a super awesome, super huge day planned! We will be joining with 3 other Episcopal Churches to help a Richardson elderly couple bring their home up to code and avoid manger fines from the city. We will need as many students as possible to complete this project in the time allotted. Every student will need closed toed shoes, work gloves, sunglasses or goggles, and any yard tools they can carry! They will also need a lunch. We will be gathering at 12:30pm and returning at 4:30pm. I hope you and your student can participate. Have a blessed week! Toni

Youth Minister Ramblings - The Challenge of the Good Samaritian

“‘Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?’ The expert in the law replied, ‘The one who had mercy on him.’ Jesus told him, ‘Go and do likewise.’”–Luke 10:36-37

The parable of the Good Samaritan is one of the best known of Jesus' teachings. But it is one that consistently challenges me. Most of the time the challenge hits directly at what I tend to spend time doing - taking care of my needs and wants - and not thinking about the needs and wants of others. But the Samaritian was righteous because he looked after the needs of another person, and some would say the needs of an enemy. What a challenge! To have mercy on an enemy, on someone we think did something wrong to us or to a loved one!

As I watched the news this week, I saw this story of the Good Samaritan played out all over the world ... and not always with a happy ending. I saw military personal attempting to rescue people only to end up massacred in a road side bomb. I saw young people protesting, only to end up arrested. I saw people standing up for a convicted murderer only to have him put to death. These people were attempting to be merciful, to help someone in need of assistance or justice or freedom - and yet it didn't end up as nicely as Jesus' parable.

But then as I thought a bit longer, I realized we don't really know what life was like for the Samaritan once he helped the enemy. Maybe his friends were mad at him. Maybe his family didn't understand. Maybe people mocked him, called him names or didn't want him around. Maybe his life was totally transformed because of his act of mercy. Jesus seems to be saying that it doesn't matter who you are or who the person in need is or what the result of your actions are - helping/having mercy/being moved to act in compassion are ALWAYS the right response for a follower of Christ - no matter the cost.

This discipleship thing is not easy - it costs a lot - but ultimately I have to believe it is worth it! Because imagine life is there was no one moved by faith to have compassion? That was the other option in this story. The man was not dead - but those who should have helped left him for dead to take care of their own wants and needs - he could have died. The Samaritian weighed the cost and found mercy to be the best option - no matter the cost!

Wow! again I'm challenged!

Dear Parents and Volunteers, This Sunday was a busy one! With preaching, Sunday School, Servant Sunday, and SR EYC, I met my quota of work for a week! A BIG thank you to the students who worked this SERVANT SUNDAY project. We were able to mulch half the community garden in about 2 hours. It was hot, dirty work but we managed to have some fun. And the garden (well half of it) looks great! A special thank you to Susan Ufer for being our parent volunteer and the best worker of the day! SR HI EYC was pretty fun too! We discussed Psalm 51 and talked about what faith and toilet's have in common. Then as a group we came up with the EYC@EPIPHANY "Flush It Away" Toilet Seat Covenant. Everyone participated in deciding what kind of behaviors we wanted God to flush out of our lives and our group and what kinds of behaviors would create a clean heart in us. I have to say... we have a very creative bunch of student! This week is a more laid back week for me! Just preparing for Wednesday and Sunday! So I'll have some extra time to pray for our amazing youth - there were a lot of prayers for school already! Have a blessed week! Toni

The Dirty! The Hot! The Mulchers

Thanks to all the youth who came out and helped in the Community Garden today! We were able to mulch half the main garden area! It was hot, dirty work and y'all rocked it!

A special thanks to Susan Ufer for being our awesome parent volunteer and putting in a ton of sweat equity! Thanks to the Turner family for cold bottled water too!!!

Youth Minister Ramblings - Spending time with God

Len Woods, author of the book, “Unofficial Guide to Life After High School,” says that “borrowed faith is when people talk about God and do things for God instead of spending time with God.”

What is the difference between renting something and owning something ... how do you treat it? Think about it ... when you have borrowed something from some one else how do you treat it ... does it have the same value as something you have spent hard earned money on? For the most part, I think I value things that I've worked for more than things that are given to me or that I borrowed from some one else.

The same is true of my faith. I grew up in the church. I was an acolyte, in the youth group, and loved being at church but ... I did church ... I didn't really have a relationship with God. I didn't spend time trying to get to know God outside of my youth ministers talks or our Sunday school class. I had a borrowed faith - maybe my mom's cause she took me or my youth ministers because he was an amazing guy or even my priest because he told great stories. But it wasn't like I knew God outside of what I learned from them.

How did I get to know God on my own? I had to work at it! I had a crisis of faith in college and ended up going to look for answers by reading the bible and talking to God out loud in my school chapel. It was only once I started seeking God - and by seeking I mean YELLING loudly in a chapel! - that I began to have a personal relationship with the God my mom, youth minister and priest had been talking about for most of my life. It took being willing to open my dusty bible and read those weird sayings and ask myself how does this apply to my life right now - and do the hard work of actually thinking about the answer for myself!

Do you have a borrowed faith? Are you willing to do the work to own your relationship with God? I hope you are because it will be of greater value and a richer experience if you do!

SERVANT SUNDAY THIS SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 18th, 12:30 - 4:00

Don't forget! This Sunday, Sept 18th, is SERVANT SUNDAY!!!!
We will be working in the Community Garden and need all available hands to help! We will meet in the youth room at 12:30 to eat lunch (BYOL) and then work from there. We need gloves, shovels, and wheelbarrows! Come one come all! :)
SR HI EYC will meet that evening at 6:30 too.

 

Another School Day

Today Elijah went off to his 2nd day of Mother's Day Out. He goes once a week to a program close to my office.
This morning was a glimpse into the future of school day mornings. It was a rough night, with EM waking up multiple times, and no one wanted to get up this morning. Normally Elijah wakes up and is ready to go, but this morning he woke up and didn't want to get out of bed! I had to go in multiple times before he was ready to get out of the crib and start his morning. Once he was up he was ready to go, but I could help think how this was a reminder of me and my mom's routine when I was in high school! :) She'd come in multiple times before I was up and ready to go! Lol!
On the way to school we talked about what he might get to do in his classroom. He was sure baseball would be on the schedule! My ball crazy kid!
He walked into school holding my hand again today. He was big eyed and a bit clingy when the teacher came to get him at the classroom door, but no tears! Even mom didn't cry!
One more day done 16 more years to go!

A New Year: 2011-12 is underway!

The new school year is already well underway as we begin this ministry year. It is hard to believe the summer is over and it’s time to get back to the essentials and the basics - like Sunday School, Youth group, and regular Sunday worship. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I like to take a break from the “have-tos” of life and just lay low, chill out, or spend the day hibernating in my home. But inevitably I have to start the routine again. I have felt this way about my spiritual life too. Just a desire to “take a break” from routine, to break out of the rut and to seek God in a new way. Most of the time I feel that way when in my prayer life I find myself asking “Can you hear me now?”

When faith becomes routine - another appointment in the calendar of life’s events, another to do on an unending list - it’s essentialness and extra-ordinariness can be stripped away. We can find ourselves seeking what we once had, doubting if our prayers are heard, and even wondering if we are really believers. In the myriad of responsibilities, projects, activities and assignments our youth deal with in a week at school it can feel like prayer/faith/church is just another thing they have to do, and not something that might actually help, comfort, or bring peace in the midst of chaos. Can God really hear me through the noise of my life?

This fall we are going to focus our youth group time on the idea of “CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?” We are going to ask some of the tough questions and journey through some of the essential promises God makes to God’s people. Like John 10:27 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish.”

Or Isaiah 55:3 “Incline your ear and com to me, and hear that your soul may live,…”
Not only will we find that God can always hear us, but I am confident we will end up hearing from God!

Blessings on this new school year! May God incline his ear to you, and may we all have our ears tuned to hear him.

Leaving Bwindi

We are preparing for our departure from Bwindi. Most of us are sad to leave our friends and wish we could spend more time here.

We have a 5 hour journey to Queen Elizabeth National Park where we will do our safari and rest before heading to Mukono.

Our hearts are sad for the loss of our dear Fr John! And we are praying for Carolyn and the family.

Uganda Day Two and Three

It has been two very good days! We traveled all day yesterday (14 hours) to Bwindi, to Dr. Scott's and the Batwa.  It was a long journey but we had road for most of the way. We were able to stop for drums and crafts and pictures on the journey. We also were able to purchase roasted meat, mangos, bananas, avocado. It was very yummy!

Today we traveled about an hour to the Bishop's office and to the Bishop's school. It was nice to meet the new Bishop of Kigezi. And then we went to the Bishop's school which our diocese has helped to build. Penny, Letty, and Kristin all had the chance to briefly teach in three different classes. Letty taught colors to the nursery children. Kristin taught a song about insects to the Primary 2 children. And Penny taught thePythagorean therum to a P7 class that was preparing for their final courses.

It has been a very intesting day. The school we were at is an intergrated school of Batwa and Bakiga. It was interesting that you couldn't tell the difference between Batwa and Bakiga. There has been so much development and growth since we were here last time.

Day One in Uganda

We are in Uganda!!! We arrived at our hotel around 1am this morning and enjoyed a quick sleep. Today was spent mostly getting oriented and doing a few errands. We also had the chance to briefly pop in on our friends at the Chain Foundation and greet some of the children.

Tomorrow we begin the 10+ hour journey to Bwindi! Pray for us that the road is smooth and we have no problems on the road. Also pray for continued good health of all our missionaries!

Pictures are coming!!

Colorado Mission - Day Four

What an awesome day of service! We spent the day working at the Pueblo Raptor and Environmental Center on service projects for the center.

We painted a lot of fence line with stain to help water proof the wood.

Some of our guys and Anna shoveled mulch and helped mulch the garden beds.


After we spent the day serving we had the opportunity to cool off in the VERY cold Arkansas river.

 And then we had the special surprise treat of DQ!!!!

We also have had some really great times of Bible Study and discussion.

And some wonderful meals together.

Spirits are high (fueled by all the "I love you" candy sent by the parents!) and we are looking forward to Pike's Peak and the Cave of 7 winds tomorrow.

Great Sand Dunes

Hiking in the Great Sand Dunes!

Colorado Mission - Day Three

What an awesome day full of surprises! In the morning we got up very, very early and drove 3 hours to the south to the Great Sand Dunes. It was a stark beauty! Huge mountains of sand that the base of the Rocky Mountains.  Our group walked to the very top of the Dunes (1.25 miles up to the top) The sand got really hot really quickly but everyone who wanted to get to the top got there (and back!). Some sled down the side of the dunes, some walked only as far as they could, and some rested in the shade after a short journey.

After the dry sandy dunes we drove less than two miles to a gorgeous water fall. We climbed up to where the water fall was pouring down the mountain. It was very refreshing after the dunes!

At the waterfall the first rule of mission came into practice. At some point in the walk a rock came falling down the mountain and struck one of our missionaries in the head. We were able to put our first aid skills into practice and took them to the ER. After two staples they were fine and our team was back together having fun and eating dinner.

Day Three begins

We are off to the Great Sand Dunes and the Falls today. A few pictures posted last night but service is slow and spotty!

Colorado Mission - Day One and Two

Hi All!

We have had some difficulty with communications, but the first rule of mission is be flexible! So I'm up super late being flexible! :)

We have had an excellent journey thus far! It is a different trip than most of our kids thought it would be (all though I have been saying all a long it will be different!). We have do only a little "service" and a lot more exploration and adventure and encounter.


Monday we walked through part of the Garden of the Gods!

We didn't have nearly enough time to do all the garden but the youth got a feel for the monuments that they are to God's creative power.

After the garden we went to the 7 Falls where they climbed 224 stairs up the side of a mountain to see out over a scenic view and see the river spill through 7 falls. All the youth made it up the steps and the 1 mile hike - Marette and Toni both made it part way up the stairs before panic kicked in and we headed back to flat ground! The kids tell us it was beautiful and those that were scared were glad they did it!

We then had the opportunity to see fire works at the Air Force Academy with our very own Andrew Fuerst. That was cool! We also had dinner with him and the youth peppered him with questions! :) It was good to see him and the fire works were AMAZING!

Today was a day of hiking and service in the Pueblo Mountain Environmental Center. We took a morning hike to Devils Canyon

where we were forced to turn back from the rocky path by a HUGE swarm of yellow jackets. The hike was beautiful and we all made it! After lunch the youth worked to clear brush and trees in a fire forest projection project. The hauled wood and brush and sweated a lot!


Then we had the first of two stone soup dinners. The girls made dinner for us! It was AWESOME. For $63 they made poppy seed chicken, mashed potatoes, veggies and brownies for the whole team! It was delicious!

We have have had a little attitude issues, but as we got some rest this afternoon and some down time things have improved. The attitude is more about jockying for control and attention and all a part of living in community. We have had some very long days and very full days so that has made everyone a bit tired! Prayers for all of us as we live out community in its mess entirety.

Tomorrow is another long long day ... so I'm off to bed.

We have arrived...

We have arrived safely at our destination and have settled into the lodge! It is a gorgeous place in the wooded mountains (bears are a regular sighting)!

We have set up our rooms and are prepared for tomorrow's adventure.

On our way...

Well we are on our way to Colorado! 18 teenagers 5 adults and one toddler. It should be an awesome amazing God filled trip! The journey is estimated to take us 14 hours -12 driving and the rest stops and meals.

Please pray for our trip!
