ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM YOUR DEACON, THE REVEREND PHYLLIS DOTY

English classes: We came to a roaring

finish with a party to celebrate the end of

classes, May birthdays and Mother’s Day.

For the first time our celebration included those

who are studying for the Citizenship exam, a class

taught by Bob and Lydia Bush and Andy Miller. The

regular classes numbered between 25 and 30 stu-

dents most of the time with 4 levels: Beginning Eng-

lish (taught by Maureen Menosky), Advanced begin-

ners (taught by Arecley Diego), Level 2 (taught by

Phyllis Doty) and Level 3 (taught by Marie Brian).

We plan to start classes again in September. Thanks

to all of you who contributed to the scholarship

fund. We had all the money we needed and we

have some left over to use for the same purpose

next semester! You are all soooo generous!

Thanks sooooo much!

Cuba and Fielés A Jesus: Mother Tulia writes

that she will not be able to get the telephone we had

hoped for, but she is now trying to get internet ac-

cess on her mother-in-law’s telephone. This has

also had some delays, but she is still hopeful. Her

mother-in-law lives across the street from her, so

that would be very convenient. I call her on the 3rd

Sunday of each month to let her know that we are

sending her the money by Western Union that we

collect that day. We can also e-mail each other on

her brother-in-law’s e-mail, but that is not so con-

venient, but it is better than nothing. She and all of

Fielés A Jesus are looking forward to our visit with

them in July and to the men who will visit in the Fall.

The things we still need to take over to them are thread –big spools of all colors, towels of all sizes,

and vitamins. If you would like to donate anything,

please leave it on my desk. Thank you so much.

Mother Tulia sends her blessing and best wishes to

all of us. Phyllis


Greetings, St. Luke’s from the Pfender Family!

Please allow us to introduce you to a remark-

able young man!

On Sunday, June 2nd at 4:00, Joshua Bartolotti, a

2009 graduate of Suwannee High (cohort of Gini

Pfender and Shelby Brothers) will be performing at

St. Luke’s. Please read below and join us on the 2nd

at 4:00 P.M. You will be blessed!

Joshua graduated from Suwannee High in 2009 with

Gini Pfender. On May 4th, he graduated from

Reinhardt University with Emily Pfender! The “just

the facts” information is: Joshua began his college

career at Stetson University; he then transferred

with full scholarship to Shorter University, and his junior year he transferred to Reinhardt University,

also on full scholarship. Josh is well thought of

among his professors and voice coaches. He has

traveled abroad for summer voice programs and he

is on staff with the Atlanta Opera. His resume, for

one so young, is quite impressive!

On a personal level, I’d like to explain who this

young man is and why I believe God is using him to

help young people!

While Emily was a senior at Suwannee High, Robin

happened to be part of a telephone conversation

with Cheryl Brinson and Joshua (we believe God

placed Robin in the right place and time). Joshua

was telephoning Cheryl Mae about an opportunity

he had to travel to the Czech Republic to study

music during the summer. Emily had been showing

interest in the arts as a profession so Robin men-

tioned her to him. Joshua took it upon himself to

visit Suwannee High and listen to Emily sing! He

was impressed by her control and talent, especially

for an untrained 17 year old student, so he pro-

vided Emily with an introduction to Dr. McIntyre,

Dean of Music for Reinhardt University. Dr. McIn-

tyre contacted Emily about sending him a recording

of her voice and the rest, as they say, is history!

Joshua’s mentorship, however, had only just begun!

Once at university Josh stepped up his

"mentorship" in full. Joshua, just like Gini and most

of her friends, is a serious young person. He has a

wonderfully warm personality, but he keeps his cir-

cle small. Joshua welcomed Emily into his circle

and has been a true God send to her! He has

taught Emily how to be a professional student:

dress, hair, make-up, and bearing. He has been a

big brother when "girl drama" would ensue at her

dorm, providing her a futon bed and keys to his apartment so she would always have a “safe place”

at college! Imagine how comforting it is for us to

know that Emily, even though she is six hours from

home, has a safe place to go when needed.

Joshua takes Emily with him to work at the Atlanta

Opera. Emily has had the opportunity to meet and

mingle, listen, and learn, from professional per-

formers…because of Joshua! We are confident

that God put Emily at Reinhardt and that God put

Joshua at Reinhardt!

Joshua has been accepted into the Master’s Pro-

gram at Florida State University, School of Music.

Joshua does not plan, however, to “take the sum-

mer off”. He has an opportunity to sing the role of

Gianni Schicchi in Gianni Schicchi and Raul in Hotel

Casablanca in Texas this summer, however, he

needs help getting there. Please attend St. Luke’s

presenting of Joshua on Sunday, June 2nd at 4:00 and

help support this amazing young man! A love offer-

ing will be received.

In the Words of Mother Theresa...In the Words of Mother Theresa...In the Words of Mother Theresa...

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.

Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you.

Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous.

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.

Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.

It was never between you and them anyway.”
