Observing a Holy Lent

by the Rev. Jon Hall

The gospel of Mark offers stark themes for this

particular Lenten season. The development of this

gospel shows a messiah who lives with frustration

and pain. Instead of a messiah who brings political

stability, as they had expected, the focus is on his

suffering. Marks depiction of Christ parallels the

suffering of the early church believers under

Neros persecution.

Mark consistently points out that the ruling

powers, and none of the disciples, understand

who Jesus is until the latter part of the gospel.

Then Mark reveals a distinction between those

who understand who this servant of God is, for

the sake of the world as Gods good and

Church members

publish Lenten

devotional

St. Martins has published a

booklet of reflections based on

the daily readings throughout

Lent. These devotionals are all

written by members of the

church.

Michelle Trieschmann has

served as editor of the booklet

for the past two years. The

project began as the brainchild

of Kurt Greenbaum three years

ago.

Be sure to pick up a copy of

this wonderful Lenten resource

for yourself and share a copy

with a friend. The booklet can

also be downloaded from our

website at stmartinschurch.org.

New app tells

Episcopalians stories

The Episcopal Church has

launched its first iPad app called

Wayfarer. The site features

compelling stories told through

video, photographs and words.

Producers describeWayfarer

as "stories of people, possibili-

ties and action." It is available as

a free, quarterly iPad app

downloadable at iTunes. You

can also view the content on

A new logo

for St. Martins

The beautiful mosaic on the

front of our church is the

inspiration for a new logo for

St. Martins Episcopal Church.

Mary Drastal created the

original mosaic design and was

the driving force behind the

logos creation. Mary has just

finished serving as a member of

our vestry. She is an artist (and

art teacher), but wanted to find

a graphic artist to handle this

project. Holly Heyde, Erv and

Mary K Heydes daughter,

began working on the project

last year. She designed several

drafts for us. St. Martins

member Robin Ragsdale joined

the artistic team and put the

finishing touches on the project

early this year.

Look for the new logo on our

website, our letterhead and all

our church publications. If you

would like to use the logo on

any materials for ministries

within our church, please

contact Communications

Coordinator Janis Greenbaum

Suffering and redemption, continued from page 1redeemable creation, and those

who would not recognize Jesus

at all. Remember that when the

curtain, or veil, between heav-

en and earth was torn that

even the Roman soldier saw clearly and

believed that Jesus was the Son of God.

Mark led the early believers to

recognize that their suffering did not go

unnoticed by God. What seemed like a

series of failures to overcome the de-

moralizing circumstances of their worlds

power structure turned into the greatest

gift possible to the Church:

that nothing could separate

them from Gods presence.

As the community claimed

that gift they were empow-

ered to see their lamentations with per-

spective. Christs death brought Gods

power to redeem and human suffering

together.

What if what you did for Lent this

year is to let Jesus love you? What could

be better, letting love, acceptance and

healing deepen in you that it may then

spread throughout the world? Partici-

pating in The Week of Guided Prayer

could be a wonderful way to do the will

of God.

A Week of Guided Prayer is an

individually-directed retreat made during

the course of everyday life. Throughout

the week each participant spends thirty

minutes a day in private prayer and

meets privately with his/her prayer guide

for thirty minutes each day. The confi-

dential, one-on-one meetings with

prayer guides take place in the after-

noons or evenings, at the convenience

of each participant. Prayer guides are

not members of our parish, nor may

companion anyone they know.

The format of this retreat offers

opportunities to:

Explore different ways of praying.

Speak privately with an

experienced prayer guide.

Become more aware of Gods

presence in your life.

Go on retreat while staying at

home.

Participate in an ecumenical

retreat invite your friends from

other parishes and/or

denominations.

Since each participant is unique (as well

as each prayer guide), exactly what

happens during the retreat is different

for each person. The prayer guidelistens and responds with a welcoming,

non-judgmental, compassionate

presence not only to the participant,

but also to Gods Spirit moving in their

midst.

There is no registration fee, but a $44

suggested donation to help with the

cost of the retreat is appreciated.

Week of Guided Prayer offers spiritual retreat

you go behind the huge altar area, or

sanctuary, you can see chapels solely

dedicated to peoples lamentations.

These spaces serve as a reminder to

modern Christians that God cares

about present day sufferings, too.

Perhaps it is during the hardest

times, on the other side of lifes

sanctuary, that our faith offers us the

strength to be with this loving God

who intimately also knew human

suffering. Then we can claim, even a

glimpse, of a way forward with

Christ as our guide.

Our Lenten program will provide an

opportunity to deepen our faith,

grow in knowledge of God working

in our lives, and broaden our view of

Christian hospitality reflects and anticipates

Gods welcome. We will introduce the con-

First, become more conscious of distortions (sin)

Second, become more attuned to Gods Spirit

Hemingway Winter features Gertrude Steinby Ruby Downs

St. Martin's Tuesday Night Book Club's

"Hemingway Winter" continues on

Tuesday, March 27, when we discuss

The Autobiography of Alice B.

Toklas by Gertrude Stein. The group

meets from 7 till 8:30 p.m. in Packwood

Library to discuss this book by Ernest

Hemingway's friend, Gertrude Stein.

Newcomers are always welcome so

come join the discussion.

The Autobiography of

Alice B. Toklas by Gertrude Stein

(Amazon.com Review)

"Largely to amuse herself, [Gertrude Stein]

wrote The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas in

1932... using as a sounding board her compan-

ion Miss Toklas, who had been with her for

twenty-five years. It has been said that the

writing takes on very much Miss Toklas' con-

versational style, and while this is true the style

is still a variant of Miss Stein's conversation

style. ...She usually insisted that writing is an

entirely different thing from talking, and it is

part of the miracle of this little scheme of ob-

jectification that she could by way of imitating

Miss Toklas put in writing something of herown beautiful conversation. So that, aside from

making a real present of her past, she created a

figure of herself, established an identity a twin,

a Doppelganger.... The book is full of the most

lucid and shapely anecdotes, told in a purer and

more closely fitting prose... than even Gide or

Hemingway have ever commanded .... "

organizing the festivities this year. Mark

your calendars and watch for more

details coming soon.

by Heidi Gioia,

Director of Youth Ministries

Last month, I attended a youth

ministry conference and heardKara Powell talk about sticky

faith. She discussed a study that

found 40 - 50% of teens who had

been active in their youth group

lost their faith during the college years.

Despite engaging programming,

missional experiences and strong

relationships in high school, these

college students felt alone in their new

environment. They had left their faith

at home.

Powell offered advice on how to create

a sticky faith, one that supports and

strengthens teens as they gain signifi-

cant independence in college. Id like

to highlight one of the suggestions.:

Create a 5:1 ratio

that is, 5 adults

connected to 1 teen

On the surface, thismay seem unrealistic

and unwanted I cant

imagine any teen

willingly hanging out

with 5 adults on a regular basis. There

will always be a place for teen-centered

programming. But rather than being

relegated to the basement, teens need

to be drawn into relationship with the

larger church. If their only experience with

church is youth group, then they dont see a

place for themselves as a young adult.

Each of us can accomplish this ratio by

getting to know a few teens and sharing

mutual interests. We can ask them

whats going on in their life and then

pray for those things. Another im-

portant way is by hosting intergenera-

tional events like the Lenten program.

We can also invite them to join our

(adult)ministry groups. When teens are given

practice at what it means to be the

church, they are more comfortable

seeking a new church home in early

adulthood.

St. Martins is in a great place to help

create sticky faith. Were cultivating a

vibrant community of connected people.

Our college outreach ministry also

embodies this. Lets continue to involve

our teens in the full life of the church so

they have a lively and loving relationship

with Christ and our church community

for the long run.

Passionate leadership guides Bible studiesChristian 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,

purposeful decisions.

by Janis Greenbaum

If you stop by St. Martin's on most any day,you're likely to find a lively Bible study group

meeting somewhere in our church. These groups

are all led by members who go above and

beyond the role of "leader." They all have a deep-

seated spirituality and a passion to share their

faith with others. Each of these leaders shows

how stewardship is part of our everyday lives.

Bev Weaver:

Lenten Faith GroupsBev is responsible for instigating, researching and

planning this year's Wednesday evening Lenten

program. After serving as a Stephen Minister for

several years, Bev was looking for a new way to

give back to the church and to find a way to hon-

or Fr. Jon and his vision for our parish. She says

this Faith Group program, which is based on the

concept of Christian Hospitality, is divinely in-

spired. Its the right program at the right time

for our church, Bev said. Its my turn to show

my spiritual connections to St. Martins.

Mary Richardson:

Monday Bible Study and

Thursday Beginners' Bible Study

Mary has a contagious enthusiasm for

Bible Study. I began reading the Bible myself

because I was tired of others telling me what it

said, Mary said. As I became more immersed in

my efforts, I wanted to share my enthusiasm with

others. Mary has been leading the (co-ed)

Monday morning group for three years. She

describes the class as a scholarly look at the

Bible. Marys enthusiasm for the Old Testament

led her to begin a second class on Thursdays for

those who have little knowledge or experience

with Bible Study. My faith has grown as I have

begun to understand these ancient writings.The Rev. Virginia Noel

Women's Bible Study

Virginia may be retired as a priest, but she hasnt

stopped serving the church. She continues sharing

her skills through Bible studies and prayer groups

at St. Martin's. Her Tuesday morning classes cater

to women and often feature women in the Bible.

Virginia guides the women in the group to

discover how God is working in their lives every

day.

John Lange:

Men's Bible Study

John is on a life-long faith-seeking journey and is

motivated to invite others to join his quest. He

leads a group of working and retired men in Bible

study every Thursday at 6:30 a.m. The story is

not as simple as we sometimes make it out tobe, John said. He encourages his group to not be

afraid to ask questions, and then pray for and

wrestle with the answers. By studying the Bible,

John hopes to equip his group for ministry

beyond the walls of the church. Its not just a

desire to take it all in, but also a desire to let it all

out.

The Rev. Jon Hall and church

leaders shared their visions for the

new year with members of the

parish at our Jan. 29

Annual Meeting.

Fr. Jon addressed the

congregation and

encouraged all

members to accept an

invitation towards

spiritual growth, by

discerning how God is calling you

to be a servant leader.

Treasurer Larry Cornelius

presented our financial reports,

which include a balanced budget for

2012.

Outgoing Senior Warden Jane

Klieve marked the end of our

congregations transition period and

the first full year of our

life with Father Jon as

our rector. She ex-

pressed her gratitude to

her fellow vestry

members, the staff, all

ministry leaders and

Fr. Jon for all the hard

work that has taken place to have

our church in such a positive

position going in to 2012.

All ministry and financial reports as

well as notes from Fr. Jons address

are available at our website at

stmartinschurch.org.
