Called to Worship, Empowered to Serve

Join the Community Conversation!

Starmount is partnering with area congregations and community organizations to

sponsor a city-wide event at First Presbyterian Church called Community Conversations

with Debby Irving. Irving is the author of Waking Up White, an insightful

book about perspectives on race written to bring communities

together. On September 17 at 7:30 pm, author Debby Irving will lead

a presentation of the book and discussion of its themes at First

Presbyterian.

In order for Starmount to be involved in this community discussion,

Faith Formation is planning a special edition of One Church, One

Book featuring Waking Up White by Debby Irving. The plan is to discuss

the book over three sessions – and offer three meeting options for

each. We urge all members with interest in a better understanding of

race relations to check out a book from our library and make plans to

join one of the following discussion groups in each session:

Session 1: Chapter 1-16

Sunday, 8/12, 8:45-10am; Monday, 8/13, 7-8:15pm; or Thursday, 8/16, Noon-1:15pm

CLERGY I would like to give you an

update on the latest meeting

of Starmount’s Session, and

the good “discernment”

work they are doing. Over

the past several months, they

have been engaging in a

process of deep listening as

they attempt to discern God’s calling for this

congregation and the steps we might take in

order to faithfully live out that calling.

In July, the Session held a mini-retreat in

which they discussed the biblical concept of

“fruitfulness” and what it means for a

congregation to be fruitful. Authors, Lovett

Weems Jr. and Tom Berlin assert in their book,

Bearing Fruit: Ministry with Real Results, “We

believe that the Bible begins and ends with

an image of fruitfulness and that Scripture

throughout leads us to conclude that

churches, as the body of Christ on earth, are

intended by God to be fruitful.”

This concept of “fruitfulness” is found again

and again throughout scripture. Not that long

ago in our worship, we pondered Jesus’ words

to his disciples in John 15 in which he says to

them, “Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as

the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it

abides in the vine, neither can you unless you

abide in me. I am the vine, you are the

branches. Those who abide in me and I in

them bear much fruit, because apart from me

you can do nothing.”

A “fruitful” congregation is one that pays

attention to its missions and ministries, looking

for the impact they are making in the lives of

individuals and in the community. It is one

that reflects on its vision, mission, and core

values to ensure that the ultimate result of all

its programs and activities might be that lives

are being transformed through Christ.

I am just learning about the specific vision of

Starmount and its identified core values.

Perhaps some of you are new to this community

like me and would like to know what those are.

Starmounts “Vision” can be found on the

front of our worship bulletins every week. It

states that “Starmount’s vision is to build a

church family which: invites and welcomes

all who seek to know and serve God;

discovers and develops individual and

collective gifts and talents; and equips

individuals for service in our church,

community, and world.”

Our “Core Values” are elements that make

up Starmount’s identity or DNA. They help

describe who we are and what is important

to us. The four core values that were

identified during the latest Mission Study

are: Worship & Music - the most important

activity of the church, Community Service/

Mission/Evangelism through Service - serving

those in need locally & globally, Education

- strengthening our faith through learning

and study, and Congregational Care and

Fellowship - compassionate care in

community.

At our last meeting, the Session took time to

more deeply explore these four core

values. They discussed what was distinctive

or unique about the way we engage in the

practices listed in our four core values;

aspects of our common life together that

may set us apart from other congregations

or organizations. These distinctions will be

important moving forward as they will help

guide our specific goals and direct us to

the areas in which we should be making

our greatest investments of time and energy.

I look forward to sharing with you more of

the exciting information that is produced

by this discernment process. I also look

forward to receiving your feedback in this

process at our next College of Elders

meeting and Congregational Town Hall.

We are indeed blessed to be a part of

such a dynamic congregation, one that

has produced a great harvest throughout

the years as it has faithfully and fruitfully

listened to and followed God’s calling.

May our collective prayer be that

Starmount would continue to bear fruit

worthy of our calling.

Your Pastor,

Charlie Lee

Early this month, close to 100

children ranging in age from

three to completed 4th grade

will gather at Starmount for its

annual Vacation Bible School.

They will gather to understand

how they can discover their

strength in God. Special thanks to Cindy Lee for

taking care of all of the moving parts to make

the week a great success and to the volunteers

who will work with all of the participants

throughout the week.

But what are ways that children and their

families continue to use their strength in God?

Helping children of all ages establish a healthy

prayer life is a great way to do this! Rev. Traci

Smith offers a few suggestions for prayer practices

with children in an article included in the March

2018 issue of The Presbyterian Outlook. Here are

a few of the highlights:

Photo Prayer: Print out pictures of significant

people in the child’s life. Hold them up and

show them to the child, having them repeat

after you with each picture: “God bless

Mama. God bless Daddy. God bless

Grandpa.” And then finish with Amen. This

allows them to understand and connect faces

with those who are most important in their

lives.

Building Block Gratitude Prayer: Using plastic or

wooden building blocks in the center of the

room, have each person involved place

another block to the tower while naming

something for which they are grateful. Watch

the tower grow and then conclude with

“Amen”.

Prayer Paper Chain: have each person write a

prayer on a strip of paper and then connect

the strips of paper together in a chain. Place

the completed prayer somewhere it can be

seen by all. Keep strips of paper in a jar and

ask friends and relatives if they’d like to add to

the chain when they stop by.

These are just a few included in the article – let

creativity be your guide!

What are your favorite prayer practices? It

would be great to hear from you!

Blessings,

Pastor Kathryn

People

Congratulations! At a recent luncheon given by Senior

Resources Buddy Poole was honored

for delivering Mobile Meals for 25 years.

I am humbled by the outpouring of love and

support from my Starmount Church family. The

prayers I have felt holding me up, the cards as

a visual confirmation of Christina love, and the

contributions to the organizations that Lauren

loved. I have learned this past months that

Lauren touched many lives in her short 30

years. She will be greatly missed by her clients,

sisters and myself. I have comfort knowing that

she is in the presence of our Lord. Thank you

again for the kindness that has been shown to

me. - Much love to all, Sydney Folger

Thank you, Starmount members and clergy.

There is no way that I can ever express my full

gratitude for all that has been done for me on

the death of my wife (cards, phone calls, visits,

food, etc.). I am thankful to be a member of

such a friendly, loveable, and religious church.

I wish that I could be more thorough on my

love for all of you, but it is still rather difficult for

me to think clearly at the present time.

Seeking Sunday School and

Youth Volunteers! The Faith Formation Committee, Pastor Kathryn,

Cindy Lee and Laura Roberson have a

wonderful pool of volunteers that help to make

the children’s Sunday School programs and

Youth Group run like well-oiled machines. But,

like all machines, there is a need for additional

parts from time to time. Bottom line of Pastor

Kathryn’s terrible analogy: WE NEED YOUR HELP!

By becoming a part of a Sunday School or

Youth Group Team, your commitment will be

approximately once a month. If you are

interested in becoming involved in either

Children’s Sunday School (3-5 years, K-2, 3-5,

Youth) or helping with the Youth Group (6th-12th

grade), please talk to Pastor Kathryn, Laura

Roberson or Cindy Lee.

Yoga Snacks

My definition of yoga snacks are

little stretches that anyone can do

throughout the day. Let me share a

few of them with you.

1. Focus on your breath for three

cycles as you relax your belly

and allow the air to reach all the way to the

bottom of your lungs. Feed your body the

oxygen that it craves!

2. Do the breast stroke three times allowing your

chest to fill with air and your shoulder blades

to squeeze together at your back.

3. Reach your arms overhead and grasp one

wrist with the other hand; then lift your wrist as

you stretch your entire side. Switch to the

other wrist and repeat.

4. Kitchen sink stretch: place your hands on the

kitchen counter (or bathroom counter or the

back of the couch, etc.) and walk backward

until your arms are stretched out and your

hips are over your ankles.

5. Bonus #1: Keeping your feet and hands

where they are, drop your hips and come

into a plank.

6. Bonus #2: Bending your elbows, add a little

pushup before stretching back to the original

kitchen sink stretch.

7. Holding onto the counter, do a lunge by

stepping one foot back while the other foot

stays close to the counter with the knee bent.

Hold for 6 counts and then switch sides.

8. Touching the counter, pretend to sit in an

invisible chair behind you. Hold for 6 counts

and then stand slowly. Repeat the squat.

9. Standing, slowly drop your chin toward your

chest and continue to drop forward allowing

your head to traction your spine as you reach

toward the floor. Feel the release of your

spine lengthening.

10. Yoga snacks take only a few moments, but

they release both physical and mental stress

allowing your body (and mind) to reset. You

don’t have to do them all at once! Even one

yoga snack will make you feel better. And

there are no calories involved. ______written by Jennifer Dowler

Church Historian

History Corner

On August 1st, 1953, Rev. Allen McSween began

his ministry with Starmount. The

first week in August the family

moved into the newly

acquired manse at 2409

Berkley Place. Rev. Joseph Flora, Minister to

Youth at First Presbyterian, was guest preacher

the first Sunday in August. The following was

included in the August 2nd

bulletin announcements: “The committee for

welcoming them (new pastor and his family)

hopes that every member of the congregation

will make a short visit to their home soon after

their arrival.”

Thursday, August 20th was a very busy day for

the newly arrived pastor. He spoke to the

Kiwanis Club of Greensboro where his topic was:

“Haunting Thoughts of War and Peace” as he

was both an infantry combat officer and later a

chaplain during World War II. That evening

“an old fashioned basket picnic” was held at

the Guilford Dairy Club. Members packed a

lunch (enough for one more than came with

you). This was another way to welcome

the McSweens.

August 21st Rev. McSween’s wife, Irene,

transferred her membership to Starmount and

their three boys ages 3, 7 and 10 were baptized.

Join a Starmount Constellation –

Small Group Ministry! The Faith Formation Committee is embarking on

a new endeavor for the fall: Small Group Bible

Study! All members of our Starmount family are

stars in their own right, but stars work best in

groups where they can:

Shine – reflect God’s light individually

and light up the darkness together

Connect – work together for better

understanding of God’s will and how

we can serve Him

Lead – give direction and support to

weary travelers and lost souls in the world

The Faith Formation Committee is working hard

to identify small group leaders and participants

for the groups, which will start in late September.

Look for more information in next month’s Star

Press. If you already know you’d like to

participate in any way, please contact Ginger

Walton, Committee member, or Pastor Kathryn.

Waking Up White and Finding Myself in the Story

of Race by Debby Irving.

“This is such a powerful little

book for our times. Many

people are saying, ‘I'm not

racist, but I don't know how

to help.’ or…’I'm afraid I'll

say something wrong.’ This

book can help. She doesn't

preach or tell you what you

should do. She writes about

her own life and search, adds the voices and

research of others, provides many, many,

MANY resources, and leads you to discover

things for yourself. At the end of each chapter

is an assignment or something to think about,

but she (and I) strongly suggests that you

write about it. I found that it was also good to

work with others to share and talk about

these assignments. This book will help you

move from understanding white privilege to

becoming a white ally to non-whites at

whatever level of comfort is right for you.”

Canoeing the Mountains, Christian Leadership

in Uncharted Territory by Tod Bolsinger. "A

superb book on the need for

adaptive leadership in the twenty

-first-century church. With

imagination and insight formed

through his experience as a

pastor, church consultant

and seminary leader, Tod

Bolsinger, challenges leaders in

the Christian community to recognize the

unsettling reality of being 'off the map.' We

have 'trained for a world that is disappearing.'

Bolsinger offers fresh, practical advice that

integrates the best of leadership theory with

the realities of church leadership, illustrated

with vivid metaphors and real-world examples,

resulting in a seminal book on how to navigate

this new world. A must-read for everyone

interested in church leadership.” From editorial

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. “This is

one of the timeliest–and most

poignant–of books I’ve read on

police brutality hitting the limelight.

Author Angie Thomas humanizes

the problems between black and

white cultures through a teen girl

witnessing a cop killing her

childhood friend. There, in the brink between

dedication and insanity, protagonist Starr

Carter juggles personal life and public

activism. In the end, she must make a choice:

does she witness the havoc from the sidelines,

or sacrifice her safety for the truth? Through it

all, Thomas wields expertise in her discussion of

racial tension and black and white culture. The

parallelism of the book’s events and actual

police shootings brought the power of her

words to life… Thomas intersperses this bleak

context with comedic family antics, bringing

joy to an otherwise bleak situation. Through

purposefully crafting the kind scenes with the

harsh, Thomas demonstrates true, realistic

black families outside of the stereotypes.

Occasional tie-ins with Tupac and the Black

Panther movement guide Starr alongside the

reader to accept that justice is all we can fight

for, and not to lose hope.” Amazon.com

The Forgotten Room by Karen White, Beatriz

Williams, Lauren Willig. “A

sweeping tale of love found, love

lost, and mystery surrounding a

room in a mansion in New York

City. It's centered around families

and blooming where you are

planted, as it were. The story is told

from three points of view: Olive, a housemaid

in 1892, seeking to revenge her father against

the owner of the mansion in which she works;

Lucy, Olive's daughter, who is a secretary in

New York in 1920, seeking to find the truth

about her paternity; and Kate, Lucy's

daughter, a nurse during World War II, looking

to find acceptance in a male-dominated field

and to fight her attraction to the handsome

patient in her care. We go from one point of

view to the next and the next and then circle

around again, each time bringing the story

forward and laying groundwork for exposing

mysteries. All three women live in the Pratt

mansion at different times, and all three

struggle with life choices and following their

hearts. There are layers and layers and as you

read on, nothing is really what you thought it

would be. It's soul stirring and well written and

just beautiful.” Review from Amazon.com Call
