Who Is the Holy Spirit?Who Is the Holy Spirit?

The Holy Spirit is God in us and among us. Most Christians have a pretty clear idea of God the Father, creator of all, who has adopted us as members of His forever family. We have a good understanding of Jesus Christ, God the Savior who came to give His life and rise from the dead in victory over sin and death. But the third member of the Trinity is more of

an unknown to many.

The one God is known to us in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is rather as a friend known to you as mind, body and spirit. The New Tes-tament is very clear that God is one in

three.

Jesus said, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew

28:19)

Paul wrote, ―There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called‖. (Ephesians 4:4) and ―There are differ-ent kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.‖ (1 Cor 12:4-6)‖The Holy Spirit was there at crea-tion, hovering over chaos to bring life and harmony to the universe when

time began. Now ever since Jesus

won the victory for us over death and sin, the Holy Spirit is available to all

who trust heir lives to Jesus Christ.

We can gladly let the Spirit to his good work in us. Or we can grieve the

Spirit with words or thoughts of anger, resentment or lust. (Ephesians 4:19-32) As we welcome the Holy Spirit in our lives, He bears the good fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23). The Holy Spirit gently guides us into the abundant life that is ours in Christ. Day by day and minute by minute we have the choice of letting the Spirit do His lovely work of making each of us into the new creation, or of following the old patterns of alienation, sin and death. The Spirit is God in us and among us, doing His sweet yet chal-lenging work of bringing peace and

making us holy.

Yours in the love of Christ,

Pastor Michael

DEACON’S NEWS

DEACON’S REPORT DEACON’S REPORT

Ten Deacons met for their monthly meeting on August 16. One Deacon was on vacation and Pastor

Michael was unable to attend due to family commitment.

The meeting was opened with prayer and a devotional given by Geraldine Hoyt. Session reports for

June 23 and July 28 were reviewed.

During discussion of coffee and communion assignments, Deacons happily agreed, for the remain-der of the summer, to provide some food (fruit, cookies, etc.) with the coffee, tea, and juice custom-

arily served in the social hall after worship.

Possible ways to celebrate IPC’s 125th Anniversary were discussed. Two nostalgic and lasting en-deavors were suggested. The first was to have our church bell re-hung so it could, once again, call us to worship. The second was to locate and re-hang the brass plaque that names ―The Alam

Courtyard.‖ Reverend Theadore Alam was the IPC pastor when our current compound was built.

Joys and concerns were shared and given to our Lord in prayer.

- Mary Wolfe

IPC has a large brass bell that measures approximately 24 inches in diameter and weighs approxi-

mately 600 pounds. We believe it has not rung for about 25 years.

No one has been able to tell the true age of the bell. It could date as far back as 1886 when Irving-ton Presbyterian Church became organized and the Christian Church of Irving (later named Irving-ton) was built. This church was also known as “The Little White Church”

located near the intersection of Washington and Fremont Boulevards.

The bell could also be later-dated to 1950, when an extension to the original church was added. Soon the growth in church membership and area population prompted the church leadership to purchase nearby

property at Chapel Way and Irvington Avenue. In 1958, a temporary sanctuary (which later became the social hall) and classrooms were built. In 1959, the beloved little white church was razed. Construction of the present sanctu-ary was completed in 1964 and the same bell which once rang in the old

church, now rang in the new church.

For many in the church community, it was a joy to hear the bell. It’s ringing symbolized a call to congregational worship, matrimonial celebrations and oth-er special events. The bell was also rung to musical notation. Each Sunday, children lined up and took turns pulling the rope, bringing joy to both partici-

pants and listeners as the peals sounded.

In recent years, the bell ceased to ring due primarily to weakening of its support structure by termite activity. When church renovations were done in 1999-2000, the bell was not reinstalled in the stee-

ple; instead, it was placed in storage.

A ―Lets Hear The Bell Ring Again‖ project is being planned. Watch for updates in future editions

of Cornerstone.

Caroline Kurtz to Visit IPC October 23Caroline Kurtz to Visit IPC October 23——Tim StachowiakTim Stachowiak

Mark your calendars! Caroline Kurtz, Associate Director of the Presbyterian Frontier Fellowship

(PFF), is scheduled to visit IPC on October 23. Because of your generous donations, IPC started

funding Caroline as well as the Light of Hope Ministry that she supports in Ethiopia

for the Arssi Oromo people (see the August Cornerstone for more on Light of Hope).

The Missions team will host a luncheon after worship so that the congregation can

meet Caroline and learn more about her work and the Light of Hope Ministry. Caro-

line has a long history with Ethiopia: She was raised there as the daughter of mis-

sionaries. She returned to Ethiopia later as a missionary herself, along with her hus-

band, and served there for seven years. After seven years in Ethiopia, Caroline and

Mark were transferred to work with Presbyterians in war-torn South Sudan. There she taught teach-

ers and worked with women’s groups in remote villages. Under New Sudan Council of Churches she

organized a grass-roots peace conference. This enabled the reopening of a fertile no-man’s land

along the Nile River between warring tribes.

Now, Caroline is based in the U.S. and working with PFF to continue supporting the fast-growing

church in Ethiopia. We are very excited to partner with Caroline and look forward to her visit.

MISSIONS UPDATE The Ryons Now Have A ThreeThe Ryons Now Have A Three--Year VisaYear Visa——Patti Boyland Patti Boyland

We are happy to relate that Paul and Alice Ryon finally received their visa to England in early August

and left for England on August 16. They are thankful to God and to all who prayed for them that they

are now able to continue their work among the Gujarati people in the city of Leicester (pronounced

Lester). Paul and Alice will be replacing John and Jeanie Fennell who

have served with Christar, for 25 years amongst the Gujarati people.

Christar is an international evangelical Christian mission based in Richard-

son, Texas.

It was a long process getting this 3-year visa. So much red tape—many

forms to be filled out and sent through many layers of bureaucracy. Pre-

viously they had to keep renewing their short-term visas, but now their

sending agency is registered with the British government and they will not

have to renew again until August 2014.

Leicester is a large city in the middle of England, known by many as ―Little India.‖ Soon Leicester

will be the first city in Europe where the natives (the English) will be in the minority. One major eth-

nic group from India is the Gujarati, and the Ryons have been living among them for a number of

years. We at IPC are blessed to support their ministry and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with

their Gujarati neighbors.

Worship Task ForceWorship Task Force

This task force met on August 17 and 24 at 7 pm

in the Sanctuary and is planning another two

sessions. The goal of the task force is to recom-

mend changes that will enhance our worship ex-

perience. There are 24 participants including El-

ders and Deacons. To date this group has re-

viewed the worship process, identified areas

where some modifications are needed and are in

the process of forming sub-committees to make

suggestions that will be acted upon. The meet-

ings are moderated by Rev. Doug Stevens.

Youth Ministry - Anh Truong

12 Stones Student Ministries:12 Stones Student Ministries:

The goal of 12 Stones Ministry at IPC is to pre-

pare students 7th grade through college to accept

Christ. The investment, dedication and prayers of

IPC 12 Stones Ministry is to help insure Christ is

known, living and constantly influencing the lives

of our youth.

12SM: Friday Night Youth Fellowship:12SM: Friday Night Youth Fellowship:

We continue to grow together. This is the first

summer where we had

an active fellowship for

our IPC Youth. With so

much going on in sum-

mer—families on vaca-

tion and students tak-

ing summer School, it

was hard to get everyone together. We managed

on several occasions to break bread, read God’s

Word, and practice fellowship. We are blessed to

have many students committing themselves to

the Lord and our ministry. Join us this Fall on

Fridays at 7:35 - 9:35 P.M. in room #3. For more

information please see our Facebook group page,

12Stones Fellowship.

12SM: Sunday Youth Service12SM: Sunday Youth Service

The point of Sunday morning service is more than

just waking up early and learning about Christ. It’s

about being with the church body as one and wor-

shiping. We use an array of teaching tools to get

God’s word known and understood.

Join us Sunday morning at 10:15 - 11:25 A.M. in

the Sanctuary and in room #3 after worship.

12SM: Student Ministries News:12SM: Student Ministries News:

On Sunday August 21, the Youths from12SM con-

ducted worship service. The group led the con-

gregation through music and prayer. There

were testimonies by Mindy Chin, Nick Look,

two of our most recent members and Anh Tru-

ong, Director of Youth Ministries.

Anh Truong, shared his background and

events leading to his finding Christ, who con-

tinues to have a significant impact in his life.

Nick Look indicated that he did not come from

a Christian family but was invited to a confer-

ence by a friend where he began accepting

the teachings of Christ. This acceptance cul-

minated in his baptism on July 30.

Mindy Chin came from a church going family.

When her mom went back to work, Mindy

gave up the church. During the past few

months she returned to her faith and was bap-

tized on July 30.

The testimonies and transformation of the

lives of these three youths clearly demonstrat-

ed the mighty power of the Lord.

Children’s Ministry - Jeanette Beland

Tuesdays are a BLAST at IPC!Tuesdays are a BLAST at IPC!

If you ever wondered what happens in Chil-

dren’s Ministries outside of Sunday morn-

ings, you’ll want to check out Tuesday nights

when BLAST returns on Sep-

tember 27th, from 6-8:00 pm

and continues through mid-

May 2012. Our current mid-

week program has developed from the seeds

planted by the LOGOS program and the work

of WeFil led by our former Children’s Direc-

tor.

BLAST’s goal this year will be to strengthen

family time. One of the most notable changes

will be our new Family Night Celebration on

the last Tuesday of the month. Family Night

is an opportunity for parents and children to

enjoy a meal together, meet and build new

friendships and discover new ways to nurture

family spiritual life. IPC members will host

and introduce families to members of the

community.

After the children have moved on to their pro-

gram, parents will have an opportunity for an

informal group discussion on issues of inter-

est to them. These discussions will be facili-

tated by guests from the local community,

experts and members of our IPC family who

can testify to the fact that: ―you can make it

through these years.‖

Pre-registration for returning families has

started. Registration for new students will

begin on September 5th. If you know of chil-

dren grades K-5 who would enjoy being a

part of BLAST, refer them to the Children

Ministries Office.

What do pirates, hikers, scoundrels and a bevy of

characters have to do with Sunday School? Well, if

you’re a part of iKidz! you’d say ―plenty‖!

This year’s curriculum set sail with a voyage to find

the most important treasure - a relationship with

God through Jesus in ―Rated Arrgh‖, a pirate adven-

ture. Utilizing a mixture of art, games, conversation

and video our new curriculum ―Life Kids‖ explores

basic Christianity through experiences that kids un-

derstand.

One new feature is an emphasis on family participa-

tion where each week families will have an oppor-

tunity to work with their children on short, fun as-

signments. These include memorizing a verse and

praying together; talking about a question over din-

ner or before bed; or letting the children know how

special they are. Children will be divided into teams

and the program will be scheduled in 8-week ses-

sions. When parents sign and return the worksheet

their children earn points for their team towards a

special event at the end of each 8-week unit.

Already there is positive feedback. The Bade family

used the questions to create a special worship time

together. The new features in the curriculum have

been a great blueprint on how to have a family de-

votional time.

We’d love to have you come and check out our time

together. To schedule a visit please contact the

Children’s Ministries Office at 510-657-3133.

125th Anniversary125th Anniversary-- Mary WolfeMary Wolfe IPC Picnic IPC Picnic -- editorseditors

Sunday August 21, more than 75 IPC members

and their families got together in the Social Hall

and on the church lawn to celebrate our annual

picnic. Guests enjoyed a sumptuous buffet of

meats cooked by our own IPC chef, an array of

side dishes, salads and

ethnic foods. And yes, a

5-foot long table filled

with desserts.

The kids frolicked in a

jump jack while adults

engaged in eating, visit-

ing and throwing horseshoes. If you missed our

pastor (tie, no jacket) tossing horse shoes, watch

for follow-up pics.

Long after the tables

were stored and the

hall cleared, some

stuck around to throw

horseshoes and visit.

The picnic was a

stunning success with lots of positive feedback.

Thanks to all who brought side dishes and des-

serts and to Bob Reavis, Jenni Pellot and Nick

McClure for the organization and planning.

NEWS OF GOD’S SALVATION FOR THE UN-

TOUCHABLES IN INDIA - IPC MEMBER

Most IPC members have heard about Rev, Phillip A. Pra-

sad, a child of the Bhangis, who escaped the life of an

untouchable, the lowest rankest ranked and most des-

pised people of the Indian caste system. He returned to

help his people find life and hope through Christ Jesus.

His ministry, the Exodus Christian Presbyterian Church,

leads families to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

This frees them to live lives as sacred human beings cre-

ated by a loving God, not as destitute, unclean outcasts.

Some 5,000 rural congregations serve an area of 46,000

sq. miles in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. A fleet of 12

minibuses have enabled 2.400 children from these fami-

lies to be transported to the 16 Exodus Christian Presby-

terian Schools. These schools are so named because

they enable the exodus of untouchable (Dalit) children

from the brutality of the caste system through education,

new skills and the love of God.

1,000 more of these children could be enrolled with the

addition of 8 minibuses at $22,000 each. A loving and

caring person to sponsor each of these 1,000 children at

$45/month would also be a blessing. This money covers

books, uniforms, a daily lunch, transportation and

healthcare. It also provides a modest living allowance for

teachers, pastors and support workers who give spiritual

and educational nurturance to the children. Lastly, a new

high school is also being constructed and 680,000 bricks

will be needed, costing $1/brick. The high school will en-

roll 1,000 children of evangelized families.

There are opportunities to be a part of this ministry, no

matter what material gifts God has provided us. It is ex-

citing to see how God is working in the lives of people

and, when God speaks to our hearts, to have the oppor-

tunity to be a part of it, whether through material gifts or

through prayer. Donations can be made out to IPC with a

designation for this ministry.

The Fremont Police Department is using

a Community Notification Service called

NIXLE designed to improve communica-

tion with its citizens.

NIXLE allows FPD to deliver messages

to citizens via e-mail and cell phones,

effectively expanding its community out-

reach efforts. Sign up at www.nixle.com

ceive alerts for both work and home.

Anyone who trusts in Jesus Christ and has been baptized is welcome to partake of

the Lord’s Supper in our church. It is a gift from God for us who do not deserve it,

but who gratefully receive his love and his cleansing power. We prepare to receive

the bread and cup by confessing our sins and doing our utmost to patch up any dif-

ferences with other people. At IPC we celebrate communion on the first Sunday

of each month, and on Thursday mornings at 7:30 am in the Sanctuary.

knowing your Congregation

- Editors

Jeane Garrett an Elder and Deacon (a couple of times) remarked for this article: ―I think, once a

Deacon, always a Deacon". She continues to serve the congregation through Christ and her

greatest goal in life is helping others.

Jeane and her family started attending IPC in 1972 after relocating to Fremont from San Francisco.

She was raised as a Christian Scientist but has no problems combining Christian Science with her

Presbyterian faith. She learned a great deal about God by studying the bible in small-group clas-

ses—JOY, Paul McKowen's special classes and Women's Bible Study. Her knowledge was aug-

mented with sermons given by Pastors Paul McKowen, Paul Cherry and Michael Boyland.

Jeane is now retired after working 14 years each at Mervyn’s and Washington Medical Pharmacy,

where we knew her as the kind, caring lady who filled our family pre-

scriptions. During these working years, she volunteered as many

hours as she could spare for activities at IPC. Retirement allows her

to volunteer more hours as the buyer for Tri-City Free Breakfast Pro-

gram. She is a frequent shopper at Costco, where the sales staff is

quite familiar with her shopping habits. If she were to check out

without eggs in her cart, the clerks chide: "Did you forget the eggs?"

In addition to providing hot meals, Jeane rolls out the welcome mat

at 7:00 a.m. making guests feel at home. She believes in ―going the

extra mile‖ to insure each guest is made to feel special. Remarks by guests such as: ―I am treated

like a king here‖, provide Jeane with her with some of her happiest moments. Her strong faith and

dedication reassure her that she is doing exactly what God would want her to do.

Jeane’s modesty does not let her take credit for the other hats she wears when working for the

breakfast program. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, she is in the kitchen at 5 am, scrambling

hundreds of eggs. She washes dishes, cuts, dices, mashes, toasts, plates meals, sets up tables

and serves countless meals to the needy. These are all done while she trains and mentors new

volunteers.

Green would have to be Jeane’s favorite color. She is an avid recycler and a stickler for following

all recycling rules for the breakfast program. ―It's important to do all we can to take care of the

world our Lord has entrusted to us for our future generations to enjoy. It is such a joy to be able to

turn over all our problems and concerns to our Lord Jesus, and to know He will handle everything.

Many times He has fixed problems for the Breakfast Program even before we ask for help; some-

times as soon as we ask for help, He is ready with a solution. Right now, we will ask God’s help to

identify a Steering Committee Chair for our breakfast program. Pray for us as we continue to seek

ways to improve our work and serve God.‖

The love and esteem that the congregation has for Jeane were clearly evident as we conducted

our research to identify a member who has made significant contributions to IPC. Jeane was the

overwhelming recommendation from everyone.
