CLERGY

Every Tuesday the staff

here at Starmount gathers

for our weekly staff

meeting. We always

begin this meeting by

engaging in a calendar

“check-in,” in which we

go through the calendar

day by day for the next few weeks to see

what is scheduled to occur. At our last

staff meeting, when we went through our

calendar “check-in,” I noticed a significant

difference in the number of the activities

listed. Those open spaces that were

present on the calendar during the

summer months were no longer there. They

were filled with activities, meetings, and

numerous programs that have finished their

summer hiatus and are ready to ramp

back up.

I’m sure that your personal calendars are

probably following suit with the church

calendar. They are starting to fill up again

as summer is drawing to a close and a new

school year is beginning. Organizing a

busy calendar can be challenging.

Fitting everything into your schedule can

sometimes feel like you are playing in a

real-life version of Tetris.

Do you remember that video game from

decades ago? Tetris was a game in which

you placed oddly shaped blocks together

and attempted to make a complete row.

If all the blocks fit together perfectly, then

that row would disappear. If you didn’t,

then those blocks would begin to pile up.

Shape after shape would come down and

stack one upon another. Faster and faster

they would come, until eventually the

stack would grow too tall and the game

would be over.

Our lives can feel like this sometimes. Like

they are filling up with activities faster than

we are able to handle them or organize

them appropriately. Therefore, it is

important for us to identify those activities

that can sustain us in the midst of our busy

lives, those practices that are life-giving for

us, and make sure we prioritize them in our

schedules.

These “life-giving” activities will be different

for each of us. Perhaps they will include

time spent with close friends, hobbies that

relieve our stress, or quiet moments spent

at rest. It is my hope that they will also

include your regular participation in the life

of this community of faith. There are so

many wonderful things going on here at

Starmount, that you have many options in

how you might get involved. Many of

those opportunities are mentioned in this

newsletter. You can also always find more

on our website (starmountpres.org) if you

click on the “Volunteer” or the “Events”

links on the very top of the page.

As you begin to fill your calendars for this

upcoming year, may you remember to

place activities on them that will not only

fill a space in your schedule, but will be

able to fill your heart, mind, and soul. I

pray that you may find those opportunities

here in the missions and ministries at

Starmount.

In Christ,

Charlie Lee

Starmount Constellations:

What are they and why should

I join one?

The Faith Formation Committee,

working with Starmount’s

Session, has been very

thoughtful through the spring

and summer to think outside the box about

Adult Education. Taking the results of the mission

study to heart, the Committee discerned that

Adult Education, for at least the fall of this

program year, will look and feel a bit different.

Learning from the experiences of other churches

and what congregants talk about with their

friends who attend different churches, the

answer is: small group ministry!

Starmount individuals will form to make

groups, or Constellations, that will meet on a

weekly basis for a set amount of weeks,

depending on the group’s topic. Constellations

will be formed based upon a number of factors:

common interests, agreed-upon group meeting

time and day, or other shared experiences.

Groups may choose to meet before another

Starmount event (like before worship on a

Sunday morning or incorporated into a dinner

group) or as a new stand-alone venture.

“But, Kathryn, why should I join one?”

Joining a Starmount Constellation will be a great

way to learn more about yourself through bible

study and reflection while also learning more

about others in your Starmount church family.

What a better way to do both at the same

time? Or, better yet – find 6-8 friends that you

think would like to go deeper in their relationships

with one another and form a group on your own

– but you won’t be alone! I will be able to

provide you with a number of options for the first

session to get your group off on the right foot.

Groups are forming NOW to start the week of

September 30th. If you’re ready to sign up as a

leader or participant, please talk to me or

Ginger Walton. If you’d like more information,

please plan to come to the Fellowship Hall on

Kickoff Sunday, September 9th, from 9-9:45 to

learn more about them and other great

opportunities in faith formation for all ages!

Blessings,

Pastor Kathryn

Thank you to The Starmount

Congregation Today and every day we give thanks for

our Starmount Family. You have carried us

through these last few weeks with your

prayers, cards, hugs and a wonderful day

of giving thanks for and celebrating

George’s life. What an incredible job you

did in organizing and carrying out all the

details for the memorial service and the

beautiful reception afterward! We know

everyone in the congregation had some

part in all that took place.

With grateful hearts and our love to each

of you. All The Carpenter Family

Matthew Copple will be ordained to

the ministry of Word & Sacrament, and

installed as pastor of First Presbyterian

Church of Henderson, 222 Young

Street, Henderson, NC on

September 23, 2018 at 2:30pm.

There will be a reception following the service.

All who wish to attend are welcome.

Brenda Triplett

Administrative Office Manager

Celebrates 20 Year Service Anniversary

Did you ever wonder how

Starmount runs so efficiently

and smoothly? One very

special reason is Brenda

Triplett. Brenda will celebrate

20 years at Starmount on

September 14th and we are

so very grateful for her many

contributions. We as members,

benefit from her many

talents each time we call the church, read our

newsletter, refer to our bulletins each Sunday

during worship and when we review our annual

report. She also maintains the church’s

membership records, generates the

membership directories, and assists the Admin,

Evangelism & Membership and Caring Ministries

Committees in executing their responsibilities.

Brenda’s work keeps us on top of what’s

happening at Starmount. During her time with

Starmount, she has worked with three pastors,

two associate pastors, three interim pastors,

three parish visitors and one parish associate,

two directors of christian education and three

directors of music. Brenda has seen many

changes over the years and was instrumental in

computerizing membership and church records.

Brenda graduated from Appalachian State

University with a BS degree in Early Childhood

Education. Prior to joining the staff at Starmount,

Brenda held various positions as: first grade

teacher, District Sales Coordinator for E.F. Hutton

Credit Corp. and District Customer Support

Administrator for Scott Paper Company (now

Kimberly Clark). She joined Starmount in 1998 in

a part-time position to produce the newsletter

but gradually assumed more responsibilities. In

2004 she accepted a full time position.

Brenda is a member of City Church and their

choir and participates in a women’s Bible study.

She enjoys spending time with her two sisters,

nieces, great nieces and great nephews, as well

as biking and walking in the Lake Jeanette

area. Brenda enjoys the diversity her work

provides, and values the friendly, caring people

and friendships formed over the years.

Youth & Young Adults

Youth

In August, the youth participated in Mission

Possible. They spent the mornings helping as

leaders for the 100+ super heroes that

attended VBS and then participated in service

projects in the afternoon. The youth went to

Greensboro Urban Ministry to pack food and

did work around the church. They helped Ms.

Cindy get the preschool ready by organizing

her library and helping to clean out toys. They

also worked on the playground, in the garden,

and cleaned the inside of the church bus. We

give thanks for the ways our youth learn to

serve here at Starmount!

In September SPY will officially kick-off for the

school year! Mark your calendars for White Lake

September 15th-16th and a parent meeting on

the 16th as we arrive back to the church! All the

SPY fall calendars can be found on the

Starmount website under the Youth tab.

Young Adults

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,

September 5th at 8 p.m.

UKirk Greensboro invites Starmount members to

Yoga Is Not for the

Flexible...It Is for the Willing Many people who think about

exploring a yoga class never manage

to make that first step through the

door. There are many reasons for their

hesitation, but a common block is the

feeling that they are not flexible enough for

yoga. They have mental images of slim, fit yogis

proudly twisted into pretzel shapes. One visit to a

normal yoga class will sweep that vision from

their minds.

Yogis come in all shapes, sizes, ages and

abilities. The common thread is that they are all

willing to learn and permit themselves the grace

to try. Success is not measured in being able to

touch the floor without bending your knees.

Success may be measured in being able to take

a deep breath and controlling the exhale. It may

be in recognizing that you can sit with good

posture for a few minutes without your back

hurting. It may be in raising your arms above your

head for a minute without becoming light-

headed. Success at yoga comes at all levels and

it is different for each of us.

As a teacher, I get the most satisfaction

from watching my students progress from

groaning with each move to being able to

move comfortably in class. It’s even more

rewarding when they ask me privately if they are

ready to do more. That’s why we added a class

called Out of the Chair for those students who

know they can do more than a Chair Class but

aren’t quite ready for the Beginner/Intermediate

level.

So…if you are willing…come and play with

your friends who have chosen to be yogis and

embrace the healthy feeling of moving freely.

*Chair Classes for beginners who feel they can’t

get on the floor – Tuesday/Friday 11:30 am

*Out of the Chair for those who want a little

more – Thursday at 11:30 am

*Beginner/Intermediate for those who want more

of a challenge – Friday 9:30 am/Sunday 5:30 pm

Church Historian

History Corner

Some interesting motions were

made and passed in the Session

minutes of August 5, 1953:

“Jesse White and Rev. Allen McSween to make a

survey and to recommend to the Session an

Organization Committee for the purpose of

creating a better understanding and closer

cooperation between the Elders and Deacons, of

their work and duties.”

The Session decided that “for the

development of our Church, they would

put special emphasis on: Christian Education,

Visitation and Giving.” The bulletin for September

20, 1953 had this: Moravian Church sent letter of

appreciation for the four silver offering plates

given by Starmount as a token

of thanks for the use of their sanctuary while

Starmount’s sanctuary was being built.

Come to the library to read full article from

Greensboro Daily News (Sept. 15, 1953) entitled

“Starmount Church Men Take Kitchen Turn” by

Alice Lide. Very cute but too long to put in this

column. I’ll give you just one line: “What a rat

race,” said Mrs. Lin Adams. “Did you ever try to

get a dozen men started on something,” Mrs.

Adams was addressed as “Top kick” by members

of her domestic detail with memories of KP duty.

Montreat Family Retreat: November 9-11 It’s never too early to put important plans in the

calendar! Plan to join the Fellowship and Faith

Formation Committees at the annual trek to

Montreat for Starmount’s Family Retreat. It’s also

been arranged that because the 12th is Veteran’s

Day, there is an option to stay an additional

evening to enjoy the fall foliage and mountains.

Please let Pastor Kathryn know if you have any

questions.

DO YOU HAVE any church bulletins or newsletters between the years of 1953-1998.

I have many bulletins from 1953-1955 but not all. I

am not sure when the newsletter started. If there is a

stash of newsletters and bulletins somewhere in the

church, I have not found them so I need to get as

many as I can from individuals before they get

discarded. I know I used to have bulletins that were

special to me but decided to pitch them before I

knew I would be historian under the incorrect

assumption we had an archive of bulletins and

newsletters. So next time you clean out your files and

want to give up any bulletins or newsletters in this

time frame, please let me know or put them in a box

in the library labeled “older bulletins and newsletters.”

If by chance you want them back put a note saying

“please return to name, phone no. and/or e-mail.”

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. “What

wisdom would we impart to the

world if we knew it was our last

chance? If we had to vanish

tomorrow, what would we want

as our legacy? When Randy

Pausch, a computer science

professor at Carnegie Mellon,

was asked to give such a

lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his

last, since he had recently been diagnosed

with terminal cancer. But the lecture he

gave--’Really Achieving Your Childhood

Dreams’--wasn't about dying. It was about

the importance of overcoming obstacles, of

enabling the dreams of others, of seizing

every moment (because ‘time is all you

have...and you may find one day that you

have less than you think’). It was a

summation of everything Randy had come

to believe. It was about living. Pausch has

combined the humor, inspiration and

intelligence that made his lecture such a

phenomenon and given it an indelible form.”

The Self Does Not Die, Verified Paranormal

Phenomena from Near-Death Experiences

by Titus Rivas and others. “Our

faith holds the promise of a life

everlasting yet our culture

constantly reinforces a false

belief that death is to be

feared. In recent decades

thousands of first person, near

death experiences provide

evidence of the reality of life after

death. The Self Does Not Die summarizes

over 100 cases that are particularly

interesting in that they show experiences that

are perceived as things that cannot be

explained as dreams or hallucinations. These

cases support the theory that consciousness

is not inextricably linked to brain function

and will continue after our physical bodies

have ceased functioning.” Review from

Starmount’s own Jim Fisher who donated this

title. Call no. 133.9 Riv 2016

Noah’s Wife, A Novel by Lindsay Starck.

“When young minister Noah and

his dutiful wife arrive at their new

post in the hills, they've reached

a gray and wet little town where

it's been raining for as long as

anyone can remember. Noah's

wife is determined to help her

husband revive this soggy

congregation but soon finds her efforts

thwarted by her eccentric new neighbors.

Overwhelmed, Noah's wife fails to realize

that Noah, too, is battling his own internal

crisis. Soon the river waters rise, flooding the

streets of the town and driving scores of wild

animals out of the once-renowned zoo. As

the water swallows up the houses, the

telephone poles, and the single highway out

of town, Noah, his wife, and the

townspeople must confront not only the

savage forces of nature but also the fragile

ties that bind them to one another, all before

their world is washed away. Noah's Wife is a

wise and poignant novel that draws on the

motifs of the biblical flood story to explore

the true meaning of community, to examine

the remarkable strength of the human spirit,

and to ask whether hope can exist even

where faith has been lost.” From publisher
