The relationship between philosophy and theology was a keen question in the early centuries of the church. Now that

both fields are largely ignored in contemporary culture, what wisdom does our faith offer?

Law and gospel are not opposites, but two sides of the same reality. What are the

first steps of the moral life for those who follow Jesus? How can we be law-biding

but not law-bound?

In Memoriam (in retrospect)

The greatest, single accomplishment of my life came on April 21, 1983. That was the day I smoked my last cigarette. Well, actually, the greatest, single accomplishment of my life was making it all the way through to April 21, 1984 without relapsing! I recall that I had to go a whole year before I knew that I would never smoke again. So addicted was I to nicotine that, even though the smell of cigarette smoke now made me nauseous, I knew I’d be back at three packs a day if I lit one up! I had to do everything once for the first time without smoking: answering the phone, taking a shower (yes, I smoked in the shower), eating Thanksgiving dinner, taking the car in to be repaired, etc., etc. What a difference a year makes. This month I observe the first anniversary of my mother’s death the day after Valentine’s Day. I have now lived through just about everything once without her. I thought I might observe the anniversary of her passing, honor her memory and somehow edify your faith, gentle reader, by sharing the words that I spoke at her memorial service. I offer it as a kind of Valentine. I wish you could have known her. Maybe, having read this, you will somewhat. Thanks for listening.

Deepeace,

In My Mother’s House

A Meditation on the Faithful Life of Lewenna Flo Dewey

I Corinthians 13:1-13 & John 14:1-7

I think many followers of Jesus focus on the last sentence of this reading from John’s Gospel and understand it as exclu-sionary—who is in, and who is out, who gets a ticket to heaven, and who doesn’t. But I believe that to be a sad misunder-standing. For one thing, Jesus didn’t talk about “going to heaven.” He talked about the coming of the Kingdom of God, about rela-tionships, about care for the least and the lost, about the unimaginable goodness and grace of God. And so, I want to draw attention more to the opening words of this section of Jesus’ farewell discourse: “In my Father’s house are many rooms.” I believe these words, among the last spoken by Jesus to his friends, (and by extension to you and me) to be a metaphor for the grace of God—that extravagant, spendthrift, prodigal favoring love shown us by God that overflows every hope for reward that we might harbor, every expectation of blessing we might hold for the future—a favoring love that washes over our moral systems and score-keeping sense of earning and deserving like a benevolent flood. God’s grace is like a home—a big home, a commodious home in which there is room for everyone. It was this way in my mother’s house, too. “Home” was reality that Flo spent her life creating. For her it was not just a roof overhead and a place to live. Home for her was a domain, a world, a reality constantly being created and renewed and furnished and adorned. For Flo homemak-ing was a joyful enterprise of hospitality and hard toil, of wearying work and delicious delight. From diapers and canning to papering and painting; from turning “junking” purchases into decorating treasures to hosting Thanksgiving dinners for numbers in the scores; from baby bottles to depression glass; from the blue room to the pink room; from kettles of maca-roni and tomatoes to fudgies; from the neat kitchen counter to the Charlie Brown Christmas tree. Always, always, it was finally about the people—about accommodating others, making peace where there was tension and providing gracious and unstinting hospitality. Reading her journal last week, I was struck by the Depression Era poverty she described in her early childhood. The 11th of 16 children, she wore dresses made from potato sacks and shoes with cardboard inserts to cover the holes. For Christ-mas she might get a yo-yo. A typical lunch was coffee soup; she described finding an unopened jar of olives in the dump behind the store and being so hungry that she and her sisters ate the whole jar!

In Memoriam (in retrospect) (continued from page 2)

Incredible as it may seem, she looked fondly on those first nine years of her life. Her birth mother, Gertrude, died in childbirth when Lewenna Flo was only seven, and she went to an orphanage for a time, and then to live with Hilda and John in Gaines—supposing that arrangement to be temporary. As the visit stretched on, and Gaines, Pennsylvania be-came home, it was Hilda who preferred “Flo” over “Lewenna,” and so Lewenna accommodated, sacrificing the name that was part of her connection to her birth family in order to do her part to make a home with the people who were to become her new parents under the name by which we came to know her, “L. Flo” (or as her diminutive suggested to all of us, “Elf Low”). She was only nine when Hilda became her new mother. And just a few years later, when her adoptive father died, her childhood was, in many ways, cut short as she became a companion to her widowed adoptive mother, Hilda, and Flo set about making a home for her! It’s in these years that the relationship between Keith and L. Flo developed. He looked out the window of the school house and saw her coming. I don’t imagine there was much coming and going in Gaines at that time. It must have been some big deal—a new girl in town. My dad is fond of noting that L. Flo was valedictorian of their class, and he was in the top ten—there having been ten in their graduating class.

It is purely amazing to me that only 11 years passed between the time Keith Dewey saw L. Flo out that school window to the day that L. Flo, herself became a mother—thanks to me! Three months shy of her 21st birthday, she was homemaking with a baby. And then there were seven. And then there were spouses and significant others. And then there were grandchildren, who would call each other cousins. And then…the greats. All the while the constant was L. Flo—the diminutive giant of a woman, whose love was expressed in action. St. Paul says, “Faith, hope and love abide, these three. And the greatest of these is love.” That Greek word, as many of you know, is agape. I wonder if Paul knew about “Flagape”— Flove? It was the energy behind the homemaking, the force behind the little woman with the large heart: Lewenna Flo

Hoak Gazdick Dewey—such a small woman to carry so many names. But carrying things was never a problem for her. She carried burdens and furniture and sorrows and joys and babies and grandbabies. She was small, but she was strong! And then she got smaller. And we all watched as she became weaker—and yet, in a way, stronger. Her energy and her body diminished, but the Flove didn’t. The same Apostle Paul who wrote to the Corinthians about the centrality of lov-ing relationships also wrote to them about this: “Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day…because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is tem-porary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.” That overflowing, overwhelming grace of God extends not just to limits of this life, but beyond into the mystery we call death—in ways that neither we nor the scriptures can explain in any other way than by metaphor. And each of us has a sense of the truth of St. Augustine’s prayer: "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you." In the last month of her life, at the Ira Davenport Hospital in Bath, she spoke what I believe were her last words to Nancy and Sue and me. It was there that I asked her, “Do you want to go home?” And, unable to muster the breath even for a whisper, she mouthed the soundless words, “I want to go home.” Today we celebrate her homecoming—her entering into the gracious commodiousness of the grace of God’s Flove—a house with many rooms: a blue room, a pink room, and many others. There is only one photo of Lewenna Flo that exists from the time before she took up residence in Gaines. This is it. She appears with some of her brothers and sisters, wearing her potato sack dress. In her journal, she said, “I always thought I would go back home.” It is in the good news of the gospel of grace that I declare this day that Lewenna Flo has, indeed, gone home; in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Planning Revs Up for Storytelling Festival

The planning team for the Stone Soup Storytelling Festival has been working overtime as the day for the Festival approaches. This team, consisting mostly of Stone Church members, is the group that is producing the entire Festival. The Program team has developed a schedule of professional and semi professional storytellers that will fill the entire day of Saturday, June 11, 2011. The Site and Vendor teams are putting together a true festival for the Clinton Village Green. The Marketing team is even looking into national coverage for this event. Music, clowns, face painting, tents, storytel-ling, craft and food vendors covering the green, a children’s showcase, adult competition, biblical storytelling at Stone and it’s all free! The community has pulled with us 100%. We have marketing partners that include the Clinton Chamber of Commerce, the Kirkland Arts Center, the Clinton Historical Society, the Kirkland Town Library, Clinton Central School, Hamilton College, and the Clinton Courier. Storytelling will be included in High School English classes. We are currently looking for sponsors and donors to meet our expenses. Soon, our marketing team will be selling ads for a program book by approaching businesses in and around the community. What can you do to help? Talk to Dennis, Nikki or Chris and let them know you want to be a part of this event. They will find a place where you can help. Plans need to be started for Stone’s food vendor booth that can be used as a fund-raiser for one of our groups. We will need your help as the time gets closer. This is going to be a great day we are giving to the Community and a rewarding day for those of us who participate.

StorySwap - Thursday, February 3rd Got a good story? Want to hear others’ whoppers? Climb out of the winter doldrums and join us for our Mid-winter StorySwap in the Norton Room the evening of Thursday, February 3rd. The stories will start at 7:00 p.m., but you’re invited to come for a light pizza and salad supper at 6:00. The whole evening will conclude by 8:00 p.m. Personal stories, historical stories, fantasy stories, folk tales—all are welcome. Come to share or just to listen! (Maybe Gil can be induced to tell us why the Presbyterians would not let Alexander Hamilton—namesake of the College— into Princeton! Maybe Dennis will tell about being left behind on a family outing. Maybe Scott Leonard will tell one of his side-splitters from Toastmasters. Come and see…er, hear!) Don’t want to drive? We’ll pick you up in a warm car! Just call the office and let Peggy know you want to come. Door-to-door service! What could be better?

Early Pledges Wanted Cash flow seems to be a problem for the church more in the winter months (January through April) than summer months. Session is asking folks to consider giving more of their pledge upfront, if possible. We will,

of course, keep good track of what you have paid towards your pledge. Questions? See Scott Leonard or Shelly Coe.

Wanted: Your Per Capita!

Per capita payments for 2011 are now being readily accepted! Our per capita charge this year is $32.45 per member. The church is assessed this amount for each member on the membership roll. The per capita is the cost of our representative democracy as a church and supports the meetings and operations of the Presbytery, Synod and General Assembly. Please consider sending your per capita either directly to the church office or enclosing it in your pledge envelope. Thank you in advance for your help.

Historical Period Revisited—A Glimpse into Stone Church’s Past

The Friendship Club 1935-1972

On March 27, 1935, a group of young ladies met at the Manse with the pastor’s wife, Mrs. Harold (Gertrude) Wylie. They wanted a week-day club to serve in association with the church and friendship with each other. No! Not as a Sunday school class! There were already well-established classes – the Morrill Bible class and the Hudson Bible class that were written about

previously in The Corner Stone. These ladies had something different in mind that had never been attempted before at Stone Church. A week later, the Friendship Club was born. With their counselor, Mrs. Gertrude Wylie, eight charter member set out on a new course including Marjorie Bryden, Sally Burritt, Elsie Ellinwood, Florence Smith, Beatrice Hall, Betty Swart-wout (Johnston), and Evelyn Welch.

In order to extend its usefulness, yet not wishing to forgo their ideal of a congenial group, the club increased its member-ship, established by-laws, and decided to meet in members’ homes at 8:00 p.m. the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month (later amended to once a month). Devotionals were a must – at least 15 minutes or more. Sometimes they used a book

study, a set of planned topics, or read timely religious articles. The club also engaged some speakers to share their experiences from places such as India, Ireland, Japan, and China – to name a few.

In the early years membership varied from 13-17 and in the ‘40’s membership rose to 22. The splendid attendance at-tested to the loyalty of the group. Some even attained a perfect attendance record with Elsie Ellinwood, Betty Gilbert, and Evelyn Welch topping the list. Church projects completed in the ‘30’s were: stage platform curtains in the chapel (now Norton Room) – yes, folks we

had a stage for pageants, singing, etc.; painting chairs and tables in the Primary Department; refinishing floors in the social room (Dining Room); installation of fluorescent lights in the social room; and in 1952 donated money toward redecorating the pulpit chairs, and in 1958 sewed curtains for the balcony. In addition, articles of clothing were made for the Red Cross; quilts, aprons, and hand towels were sent to the Coulter Academy, clothes and layettes to the Friends’ Society; Christmas boxes prepared for needy families, World War II sol-diers and the House of the Good Shepherd; used toys were repaired; and they contributed to the missionary society. In the 1950’s, they sent money to the Door of Hope and furnished flowers for worship services. Special activities included cooking for a Congregational dinner, putting on a Men’s Club supper, preparing the Father and Son banquet, sponsoring “Get-acquainted-newcomers” teas and participating in Stone Church’s 1941 Sesqui-centennial celebration. Other social events included theater parties, progres-sive dinners, joint meetings with the Service Club and fun family picnics. Thirty-seven years later, in 1972, and after several worthy projects, the Friend-ship Club came to a close. In 1975 their remaining bank account money pur-chased three paintings by Howard Cheney – high school art teacher, commu-

nity leader, and active elder. They were hung in what is now the Norton Room. A quote from Ruth Swartwout who many of us remember as a faithful members of this church and a community histo-rian sums up this group nicely in one of the group’s annual meetings: “…what most of us would like to remember and cherish are those unrecorded deeds, the many acts of kindness, those thoughtful words of comfort as well as the stimulating and encouraging cooperation which each member has given to help make and keep this – the Friendship Club.”

Chocolate Lover’s Sale

Our annual Chocolate Lover’s Sale will be held on Saturday, February 12th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. What a great way to celebrate Valentine's Day! We

will be looking for donations of anything made with chocolate. Pies are especially popular. This year, we are trying to highlight the issues surrounding the chocolate industry’s use of child slave labor, and will therefore be emphasizing the sale of fair trade chocolate. If you normally bake from scratch, we would like to give you a jar of fair trade baking chocolate to use instead. We will happily accept a donation of the amount you would have spent for non-fair trade chocolate. We are hoping to have everyone's help. Please sign up to bake, work, or donate money.

Fair Trade Treasures The Building Stones Fair Trade Shoppe is still well-stocked and looking for business! Why don’t you check out the dip and salsa mixes from the Women’s Bean Project? Perhaps you would like to browse the SERRV catalogue and then tell us what you would like us to order? There are some beautiful items from Haiti that we would love to sell, but cannot afford to stock without a specific buyer. Purchasing these items would be one of the best ways to help Haiti. The Shoppe has become one of our biggest ongoing mission projects. Purchases enable people around the world to forge a long-term sustainable future for their families and their communities. Questions? See Lauralyn Kolb.

Lunch Study after Worship Feb. 6 - “God in America”

Scout News Boy Scout Troop 9 has been working on winter camping skills. The Troop camped in a wilderness cabin at Camp Rus-sell on January 15th and 16th, hiking in on snowshoes and carrying their gear, including firewood, on sleds. Seven Boy Scouts, along with Mr. Callaghan and Dr. McCormick, spent the night in the cabin. Mr. Getter and Mr. Burdick also joined the Boy Scouts for part of their time there. The group enjoyed their opportunity to experience winter camping with snow. The troop has an outing planned for January 25th at the Hamilton College pool, working on swimming and other water skills. Our next weekend outing will be to the Klondike Derby at Camp Russell on February 5th where troops from all over compete in various winter events—including the famous sled race, where the boys have to pull large sleds that carry gear. Every year the scouts participate in one of the area’s church service on Scout Sunday (the Sunday that falls before Febru-ary 8th—the anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scouts of America.) This year the scouts will participate in the church service at St. Mary’s on February 6th. Also, mark Saturday, March 12th on your calendar for the annual Troop 9 Ham Dinner at the Clinton VFW. It’s our an-nual fundraiser with lots of good food and attentive wait staff! Watch for ticket sales in the coming weeks! Yours in Scouting, Submitted by Ginger Ross, Asst. Scoutmaster, and Gerry Gogel, Troop 9 Committee Chair.
