Rediscovering Our Foundation On Sunday June 9, Janie and I went to York, South Carolina in order for me to preach at the homecoming celebration of the third church I ever served. This was the 185th year for this celebration and the marquee out front read: “Beth Shiloh Presbyterian Church: 185th Homecoming featuring the Return of John Roper.” I wondered if visitors might think that I had been their pastor 185 years ago. Homecoming is a day spon-sored by the cemetery association. I don’t think the sign was intended to capitalize on zombie craze prevalent in the media these days; it might have been merely a reference to the fact that I look like the walking dead.

At any rate, it was a wonderful day with a lively worship service followed by an incredible church dinner. The day is an opportunity for past members who have moved away and relatives of members to return and renew friendships and share old stories. The stories they told about me were all quite kind. I sometimes hope that past congregations’ way of remembering me as their pastor might be a foretaste of God’s grace and mercy. Churches are a culture within the larger culture. As such they have the power to shape us and give our lives direction.

The text I used for the sermon that Sunday was Isaiah 51:1-3. It reads, “Listen to me, you that pursue right-eousness, you that seek the Lord. Look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the quarry from which you were dug. Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah who bore you; for he was but one when I called him, but I blessed him and made him many. For the Lord will comfort Zion; he will comfort all her waste places, and will make her wilderness like Eden, her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song.”

Bonnie Johnson, formerly Bonnie Greer, was in worship with us on Sunday. She grew up here at

Harvey Browne. She had been going through some old files and found her Sunday school workbook from 1953. On the cover is a picture of a little boy and girl headed up steps to the church door. Next to that picture we read “This is my Church and Home Book.”

In 1953, the rock from which we were hewn, and the quarry from which we were dug would have been found in church and at home. It still is, but what has changed is that this is no longer the first place we look in times of trouble. When the relationship crises come, bringing with them divorce and problem children, where do we go? When our lives are suddenly not at all what we want or expected, where do we look? A few years ago we might have rushed off to the self-help section of the bookstore. These days we would be more likely to seek the answer on the Internet or, perhaps, from friends on Twitter or Facebook. The problem is that none of these would be likely to lead us back to the founda-tional stories of our faith. None of these is likely to lead us to Abraham and Sarah, who remind us of our hope in a God who keeps promises. None of these will lead us back to the God who created us and shaped us.

We cannot go back to the ’50s, as appealing as that may be to some of us. But God is not stuck in the ’50s. Our moving forward when we are stuck in those “lost places” best begins not with Google but with God. To paraphrase an old Beatles song, we need to “get back to where we once belonged,” not in order to stay there, but in order to move forward. A new future begins with rediscovering our foundation, the quarry from which we were dug. John

Artists

For a while now, the Holy Grounds coffee cove has been featuring the artwork of Harvey Browne members on Sunday mornings. Due to its popularity, Harvey Browne will be having an art fair on Saturday, August 3. Members can sign up to have a booth (indoors or outside) to sell their arts and crafts with a mini-mum of 20% of the proceeds going to the general church budget.

If you would like to have a booth at the art fair, please visit the coffee cove and fill out a registra-tion form. Registration forms must be returned to the coffee cove no later than Sunday July 14. Registration form can be found on page 9 of this newsletter.

Hymnal Celebration

Great news is that through the generosity of Harvey Browne’s family of members, we were able to order copies of the new Presbyterian hymnal, Glory to God

that will be delivered in the fall!

Additional great news, Harvey Browne has been chosen to be one of six locations throughout the nation to host publication celebrations. The celebrations include work-shops and worship and one will be held at Harvey Browne March 14-15, 2014.

Registration for the Louisville Hymnal Event is ready to go live. Please visit the website http://events.signup4.com/ lvlhymnalevent to find out more information and to register.

As March approaches we will be looking for HB members to help with different aspects of the event. Please contact Anne Hughes, [email protected], if you have problems registering or questions regarding this event.

Notes from Session

The Session of HBMPC met on June 4, 2013 for a stated meeting. Following the devotion given by Myra Earley, the following business was handled:

• All Session members will wear lanyards with an “Ask Me” card attached to help visitors on Sunday mornings.

• Members of the Board of Deacons gave an overview of the Board and presented a copy of its operating manual.

• A report was given on the purchase of the new hymnal, Glory to God. Through the generosity of the congrega-tion, we were able to purchase more hymnals than originally and to have them imprinted with the church’s name.

• The Marketing Team presented and the Session approved a new nickname and logo for Harvey Browne. (See accompanying article.)

The next stated meeting will be August 6, 2013.

HBPres

The Session last month approved an official “nickname” for the church—HBPres. The name was recommended by Harvey Browne’s Marketing Team, which has been working for more than a year on a long-range strategy for promoting the church and increasing membership.

The Session also approved a new logo that will incorporate the nickname surrounding a cross. The logo will be officially introduced at the start of the new program year.

The nickname will not replace the church’s legal name—Harvey Browne Memorial Presbyterian Church. It will, however, be the way we present ourselves, both to our members and the community, on our website, stationary, newsletter and in other ways.

The Marketing Team has spent much of the past year studying trends and behavior patterns that have affected church membership and attendance over the past 50 years. The findings were the basis for the team’s recommendation of a less formal name to better reflect the times.

Be watching for more information about the name and its formal introduction a few months from now.

A Little Southern

Hospitality?

When responding to a lady, a child is taught to Answer politely, “Yes, Ma’am” or No, Ma’am.” At Harvey Browne Presbyterian, we learned 41 years ago to acknowledge our community with “YES, MAM!” We know St. Matthews Area Ministries by that familiar acronym, St. MAM.

Forty-one years ago our church joined with neighboring churches, Beargrass Christian and St. Matthews United Methodist to launch St.

MAM. It is difficult to estimate how many hundreds of thousands (if not millions) have been touched or helped in some manner through St. MAM. This source of help within our commu-nity, which Harvey Browne continues to support, continues to address the needs of families and individuals daily.

We will hear from Executive Director Dan G. Lane on the morning of Sunday, July 21. Serving In that role since 1994, Dan will remind and challenge us that, now more than ever, Harvey Browne is instrumental in saying, “Yes, MAM” In 2012, St. MAM rendered 10,360 emergency assis-tance services, addressing 2,590 families, and allocating $72,767 in financial assistance. When it comes to A “bang for the buck”, consider that St. MAM leverages $490,000 of in-kind support ($117,163 in volunteer hours) and donations per year. Harvey Browne continues, after forty-one years to Say, “YES, MAM.” You can learn more about St. MAM at www.stmam.com and by hearing Dan Lane on Sunday, July 21

Children’s Micro-Mission

and Family Fun Night!

The July Micro Mission is the Cabbage Patch family fun night. Dinner is at 5:30 p.m. and bingo with fun and prizes to follow. All ages are wel-come and encouraged to come see what Cabbage Patch is all about and to enjoy fellowship with those we assist. Cabbage Patch is located at 1413 S. 6th street, 40208. The dinner is being provided by Southeast Christian Church and we need to have a rough head count so they know how much food to make.

Please contact Cynthia Hilyerd at 553-6916 or [email protected] to RSVP or with questions.

Due to the abundant generosity of donations at Christmas time, Harvey Browne members are able to provide Cabbage Patch families a “Christmas in July” by using the excess funds to purchase school supplies.

DO-IN Committee

Needs Volunteers

Do-In is the annual kick-off for the Harvey Browne Youth program. This amazing weekend of fun, community building, faith and worship is something you simply need to see to believe. Not only do the youth love this event, but adult volun-teers return year after year to help make it a success and to share in the experience. We are in need of volunteers who can spend the Labor Day weekend (or part of the weekend) with our youth at Cedar Ridge Camp.

Among the volunteer positions we need to fill are: cabin counselors, small group leaders, cooks, arts and crafts instructors, photographers, activity directors and general administrative help. Volun-teers from all age groups are helpful and you don’t have to have a youth participating to volunteer. When: Friday August 30, through Sunday September 1.

If you are interested in helping or would like more information, please contact Candyce Gordon, [email protected], or Missy Turner, [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Youth Launch New

Mission Project

The youth will be making sleeping mats for the home-less by crocheting plastic grocery bags as an ongoing mission project, which will begin at Do-In. There are many ways all HB members can participate in this project. We will be taking plastic grocery bags, flat-tening them, cutting them into strips, connecting the strips into plastic yarn, and crocheting the yarn into mats. We will begin accepting the grocery bags in July. Please leave them in the drop closet. If you want to take the additional step of flattening them and put-ting them in a box, that would be extremely helpful. If you want to be even more involved and cut the bags into strips, make the yarn, or even crochet your own mat please look for instructions in the foyer.

Please contact Adam or Adrienne Earley [email protected] if you have any questions or want to help. If you would like to join us at Do-In working with the youth to make the mats, please let Adam know. Here is a link to a You Tube instruc-tional video that explains how to prep the bags and make the mats: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiUC0iDQtkA.
