Summer Celebrations and Sabbath Surrender Summer Celebrations: As I write, the aroma of strawberries wafts through my kitchen along with the cool summer breeze. My inclination is to surrender to the moment, relax and appreciate.
By now the Strawberry festival is a memory and we are looking forward to the next celebration, the 220th Anniversary on Sunday, July 22.
The 220th worship beginning at 9:30 am will include Jay Hanagan’s dramatic portrayal of our founding minister, Rev. Jedediah Chapman who organized eleven churches (correction from June’s Newsletter) including Ovid, Oaks Corners, Ithaca and Geneva. Eleanor Stearns will embody Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell who was inspired by the Presbyterian Church pastor to complete her medical degree as the first female physician. Rev. Jim Gerling will share his reflections on the uniting of North and First Presbyterian churches. And, we will dedicate our new quilted “All Are Welcome” banner sewn by Liz Carty.
After worship (around 10:45 am) you are invited to a historical presentation and guest speakers. A walking tour is planned using Dr. Hart’s Presbyterian Presence in Geneva map concluding with the Chapman Manse (1802). Also, there is an interior tour of the church focusing on the stained glass windows and banners.
Just for fun, we are thinking of having a photo booth with historical clothes. If you have hats, gloves or other period clothes for children and adults, please give me a call. Remember we have 220 years of history to celebrate; so chose your favorite decade. Plan to enjoy the celebration!
Sabbath Surrender: Summer Sabbath implies Holy rest and spiritual renewal. The July and August worship services will provide opportunities to surrender to the holiness in creation and in our lives.
July and August sermons and services will focus on taking time to reflect, rest and revive. Make time for Sabbath in community, take a holy moment and join us in prayer and reflection.

To our dear Church family: How does one begin to say Thank You when it seems so trite? Ron and I keep reliving Sunday and the wonderful reception given for us. There were so many people in Church that day, unusual for a summer service. The poster board with pictures was a delight. The gift of pen and note cards will come into good use. The scrap book with many cards and lovely words will have a special place in our new abode. We are getting cards in the mail so that our mailman must think we are having an anniversary. Joan McClure and Art Lewis followed us around as though we were royalty or at least movie star candidates. Joan then put all her photos in an album and gave them to us. The cake was beautiful and delicious and the flowers added a special touch. Thanks to all who had anything to do with that morning. The song by the choir brought tears to my eyes. Such a great group and one that I will always treasure. Thanks so much. God has been good to us by putting us in Geneva in 1986 and I found a home as Clerk of Session at the then First Presbyterian Church. Sitting with Jim Gerling for 21 years and then Pastor Deb for 5 made my duties relatively simple. God gave me the gift of a singing voice and to record and I was able to use these gifts to praise Him. A job brought us here and now family wants us back. We will be living in Elgin Illinois, just half an hour from our daughter and her 3 sons and my sister. Ron also has a niece and nephew there. This is not easy for us but we feel it is right. We will never forget you and will keep in touch by email. Our moving day is June 29. And now, May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You ‘till we meet, ‘till we meet again.
With grateful thanks we say Peace be with you.
Fondly, Bette and Ron
Dear Church Family, My baby (who is now 22 years old) just graduated from college!! He is glad to be done and on to the next phase in his life. He “enjoyed” most of his time in college as did my girls. But there were a few rough patches along the way for all of them.
A number of you have kids headed off to college or a trade school. Freshman year is a learning experience for everyone. I’d like to give you some information we found helpful in keeping the kids healthy and happy.
First, once your child turns 18, they are considered an adult. Some schools take this to the extreme and will not notify parents if their child is in a serious accident without a HIPPA form filled out. My kids all had these on file at their schools so we could be called with an emergency. Check the policy at their school. Have your kids know where the school clinic is and how to access it. They are all going to be sick at some point. Encourage them to get a flu shot when available. When living in a dorm, diseases spread like wildfire. They need to be up to date on all the immunizations. I have seen enough college kids with meningitis to say it is no longer uncommon, and it can be deadly.
Another thing to talk about is what we used to affectionately call the “freshman 15”. Most colleges now have healthy choices on the meal plan that aren’t just pizza and tacos. Discuss eating healthy and trying to get into the habit of fitting in exercise (at least 2 ½ hrs. a week) if kids aren’t involved with sports, dance or yoga.
Also discuss safety. Not all students are brought up with the same morals or values. We want kids to be kind and tolerant of others, yet not be bullied or cave in to peer pressure just to fit in. Ask them to choose who they go out with wisely. Even if they don’t drink or do drugs, if the people they go somewhere with do, they may find themselves in a bad situation. They need to be ‘street smart” about people. Girls need to be particularly careful of drinking too much and unfortunately the “date rape” drugs are used more than you would like to think. Girls should not walk across campus alone at night. Colleges do not like to advertise their problems, rape is one of them.
Encourage you kids to call once a week to check in. College is a great experience and learning opportunity. It also is very stressful at times. Giving your kids encouragement when the going gets tough does help. Your kids are all great, encourage them to just be themselves! Best of luck to all our grads!!!
God Bless, Beth

What’s that big blue box for? Heading up the stairs to the Christian Education rooms, you may have noticed a big blue bin with a round hole cut in the top.
That’s where Boy Scout Troop 4 collects empty bottles and cans to raise money for high adventure trips.
In previous years, funds from deposit bottles and cans left there helped Scouts and leaders spend 10 days at Philmont Scout Ranch, near Cimarron, N.M., in 2012; and week aboard a 75-foot, three-masted schooner cruising the Florida Keys, based at Sea Base near Islamorada, Fla.
Many folks are now in the habit of bringing whatever bottles and cans they have each time they come to church – for Sunday worship, a committee meeting, or other community event. Pick-up of larger quantities can also be arranged.
We appreciate your help. – Fred Schühle,
assistant scoutmaster

SERRV International Fair Trade Gift Shop The SERRV Committee would like to thank our members and friends for their ongoing support throughout the year. Not only do your purchases provide you with unique gifts, they also help the artisans and farmers around the world who crafted your product to change their lives for the better. We have hosted three away sales over the last two months which enable us to make donations to several church and community projects. Hosting these sales has left our shop very sparse, but we are again restocked with a variety of jewelry, scarves, pottery, kitchen items, chocolate and much more. With summer upon us the shop will only open upon request, which will include Sundays after the 9:30 service. A member of our committee will be happy to accommodate anyone wishing to find a gift any Sunday or during the week. Call the church office or seek out one of our committee members and we will help you. Committee members are: Sandra Ansley, Beverly Burrall, Jean Harman, Barbara Maw, Carol Morse, Kathy Price, Beth Reiners, Jackie Schmit, Lou Tarr. We will be opening again after both services Rally Sunday.
DEACONS Happy Birthday to the Church!
God has given us so many gifts, what gifts can you give to the church? Our church is filled with so many talented, caring and compassionate congregants. Please consider what gifts you will share this year with our church family. Are you able to help with coffee hour occasionally, drive members to church, bake, set up/clean up for events, visit those in the hospital, provide meals to those in need, or usher? All of these gifts are appreciated and don’t require any long term commitment. If you would like to share your gifts with the church, please contact the church office and Colleen will be able to get your name to the correct person to contact you.
For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have. 2 Corinthians 8:12
Take Note
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody!
With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!
There are many songs to sing or play, dances to embody, ways of expressing our grief, ways of celebrating the life we have been given, the life which in which we are embedded, and the gift of the enduring love of our God. Life is a call to that song -- just listen to the birds if you doubt it. We are all called to the celebration of Life, each in our own way, and we are called to share that celebration with others. So find a way, an opportunity, to share your special expression of that celebration with your friends and family, anywhere and everywhere; and share it with us at church. Your celebration or cry comes from the one who gives us life.
God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing-pain. Remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. Don't try to end it. BE Your Note. I'll show you how it's enough. Go up on the roof at night in the city of the soul. Let Everyone climb on their roofs and sing their notes! Sing loud!

PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN Thank you to everyone for their help and support for the 64th Annual Strawberry Festival. We are very appreciative of
everyone’s willingness to participate. It does take a village to coordinate this. Especially thank you to Donna Newcomb and Bev Burrall for coordinating this event again this year. We also want to take this opportunity to shout a big THANK YOU to Bette Schubert for her many years of service in many capacities in our church. In addition to her many years of service as Clerk of Session, Bette has been the treasurer of Presbyterian Women and also has coordinated and worked at many of the memorial receptions in our church. We will miss her and Ron and wish them well as they move to Illinois. Camp Director Lea Kone is asking for some items for Camp Whitman: These are some items that we wish we could have at Camp Whitman, but that our budget will not allow for. If you think you could help donate one of these items to help benefit our staff and campers' experiences this summer, then please check out our Amazon wish list by using the link below. https://presbyteryofgeneva.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8f42d6709a77596f01516a7e0&id=e8341c511d&e=9e119d4df3 The next meeting of Presbyterian Women will be on September 16th immediately following the 10:30 AM service in the Conference Room at Church.
