Our Youth House – Almost But Not Yet!

We are in the home stretch of completing construction on our Youth House. But we are not there yet, and we really need your help! Realizing that we've worked hard for nearly seven months, weekdays and weekends, we still have some intense work in front of us. We've cleared the frustrating hurdles of county inspections and are cleared to make these next three weeks our home stretch. We need as many hands on deck as possible. Here’s what you can do:

• Saturday, May 3 -- Painting, Planting, and Picnic, 9 AM! Everyone is invited this special day! In the Youth House we'll be painting the interior (all ages of youth are eligible to paint) and unloading tile. Contact: Fred Massey (f_massey2hotmail.com) or 4/731.4466. We will also be planting flowers all around the church & sprucing up all the grounds, so there is a job and fun for everyone. We'll have a picnic lunch and feed you well!
• Saturdays, May 3, 10, 17 -- We'll finish the soffit, build the deck and porch and install interior doors and trim. Contact: Fred Massey
• Weekdays May 1 - 16 -- There are always separate weekday projects that can help prepare the house for the major weekend work. Call Fred and he will be glad to assign one or two of them to you.

We want to move into the Youth House as soon as possible after the finish of Church School (May 18) so that Catechesis of the Good Shepherd can move to the education wing and Deacon Kathy’s office can be completed. We are scheduled to dedicate the Youth House on Sunday, June 22, during our Bishop’s visitation to St. Catherine’s.

I hope you will be able and willing to set a Saturday or two aside to help with this wonderful and important project in the life of our community. Thank you to each and every person who has given so unselfishly to make this house a reality in our life together. Together, let’s make this final push to completion!

The Feast of Pentecost: May 11

Pentecost marks an important feast for us as we focus on the gift of the Holy Spirit. It ends the season of Easter but it is not the end of the manifestation of God. The gift of the Holy Spirit empowers Jesus disciples to boldly proclaim the Good News and subsequently, gives birth to Christianity. We celebrate the birthday of the Church on Pentecost. The gift of the Holy Spirit wasn't only for the disciples but continues to be given to us today. Each Pentecost we have another opportunity to be renewed and empowered by the Holy Spirit for the work of God in the world.

For Pentecost, May 11 this year, we will include an element in our liturgy with a time to reflect on seven particular gifts of the Holy Spirit. These gifts are those given to the Messiah as found in Isaiah 11: 2 - the spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. These gifts, along with piety which was added in the Greek Old Testament as the seventh gift, are promised to all people. It is the life of the risen Christ that opens the way for us to receive such gifts of the Spirit. This is the way God's love, given to us through Jesus, calls to us to remain in that love.

What gift would you like to ask God to give you this feast of Pentecost: Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Fortitude, Piety, Counsel, or Fear of the Lord (Awe and Wonder of the Lord)? Come Sunday, May 11, and wear your brightest Pentecost colors – red, orange, yellow, or pink – to either the 8:45 or 11:15 services as we celebrate together and ask God to renew us with gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Pentecost readers needed

Each year during services on Pentecost our tradition is to have people read one of the lessons that day in as many languages as possible. If you speak a foreign language and would be interested or want to find out more, please check the Opportunities for Ministry in your bulletin or contact Rose Wolfe in the office. We will mail or email you the translation ahead of time. We’d love to have any who know sign language to participate, too!

The theme is a St Catherine’s Country Fair and will feature activity booths, singing and fun for all ages. If you would like to volunteer to assist with the booths, please contact Barbara Garner at barbaragarnerbellsouth.net . We will provide more information as we continue to plan. We look forward to seeing you at the fair!

Adult Class in June:
"If Paul wrote to the Corinthians twice, does that mean they wrote back?"

Interested in more adult Christian Ed this summer? We're taking the pulse for a possible Sunday adult class in June: would you be interested in a one-hour Sunday morning class (9:15-10:15) to study who this Paul guy was, why he was writing these letters, and three or four really great lessons we learn from them? This is an opportunity for all those who are otherwise occupied during the Church School hour the rest of the year (Christian Ed teachers, choir members, etc.) to enjoy some time to refill the pitcher, and anyone else who might be interested. Nursery will be available, but no program for older children.

If interested please check the Opportunities for Ministry in your bulletin or contact Bill Ivey. We're still in the planning stage and will communicate our findings soon.

Vacation Bible School

Watch out as St. Catherine’s will be exploding with excitement this summer at our POWER LAB Vacation Bible School! VBS is offered for children age 4 by July 1st through rising 5th graders. Dates are July 7 through 11, 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM.

We will be looking for adult and youth volunteers to help us explore our experiments, accept our daily challenges, sample our test tube treats, sing powerful songs, and put together some wacky crafts. If you want to discover Jesus' miraculous power in our lab, watch for details on how to sign up coming soon.

Pictorial Directories have arrived!

Pictorial directories are now available for pick-up before and after all church services in the foyer. If your family participated, there will be a directory with your name on the back ready for you to take home. If your family did not participate or is new to the church, we do have extras. You may request one by signing up on the table (your copy will be ready the following Sunday). Questions? Contact Jenny Gale, 770.579.0657 or drjennygalemsn.com.

ESL volunteer signup this Sunday, May 4

Look for sign up after services on Sunday, May 4, if you are interested in helping in any way with the ESL (English as a Second Language) program we are offering to the community this fall. Help will be needed with teaching, greeting, publicity, etc. If you have any suggestions, or missed this sign up and would like to volunteer to help in any area, please contact Lu Dumke at ldumkebellsouth.net or 404.918.3185.

• Teacher/Volunteer Training: We are very fortunate to have Holly Patrick, from the Latin American Association, who will provide our Teacher Training on Saturday, August 2, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., in the St. Catherine's Board Room. Everyone who is interested in the program is welcome to come, whether you are interested in being a teacher, assistant, substitute, or even an occasional helper. (Come all day, come for just a while—we'd love to have you.)
• Getting The Word Out: We have marketing efforts planned, and would love suggestions and volunteers. We will also place flyers throughout the community with information about the program, and probably a sign as registration nears. We're also working with other churches and will contact local schools to see if they can help get the word out to non-native English speakers in the community who may be interested in signing up as students.
• Volunteers Needed: We are currently in need of volunteers (lead teachers, assistant teachers, and substitutes) to teach each of our three classes: beginner, advanced beginner, and intermediate. Our current plan is to hold classes once per week, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. And don't worry if you have no teaching experience, ESL experience, or cannot speak another language. All this commitment requires is an open heart and a desire to reach out and give the gift of language to those in our community who desperately want to learn English. We will also receive training from Holly Patrick of the Latin American Association, so you'll be fully prepared before classes begin!
  We'll also need a few "floating" helpers on class nights. When the classes begin, we will need help with testing, greeting, helping with conversation exercises in class, directing people to the right places, and helping make our visitors feel welcome at St. Catherine's. Being a floating volunteer is a great opportunity for our teens as well.
• Open House in August: We are planning to have an Open House for prospective students in mid-to-late August, class registration will be held at that time. We’ll gauge interest and estimate the number of books/chairs/etc. we'll need. We’ll need plenty of volunteers for this effort, so watch for announcements of details.
• Course Specifics:
  Levels: Begin with three levels--beginner, advanced beginner, intermediate. (dependent on applicant needs)
  Materials: English in Action, Heinle Thomson (review copies ordered)
  Classes: Once per week, day of the week to be determined
  Charge: $35 per student (books are $27.50 plus shipping). Texts will be provided free-of-charge to teachers.

Inquirer’s Class continues

Sundays, 3-5 PM, through June 8 (no class May 11)

This class is for both newcomers to St. Catherine's, to the Episcopal Church, and also established members who want to refresh their understanding of the church. While attendance is not required for all sessions, it will be to your benefit to be there. Sign up on the Opportunities for Ministry in your bulletin or contact the church office, 770-971-2839.

"Praying for Pars" Golf Outings

Are you the kind of golfer that prays for pars when you get out on the golf course? If you are like most of us "hackers" then we invite you to come join your fellow parishioners to play golf on Sunday. Are we encouraging you to play "hooky" and skip church? NOOOOOOO...... We want to encourage some fellowship by going to the early church service together, then eat breakfast, before heading out for a 10:00am tee time. This will be an informal approach, with no big prizes or meals to help us keep the costs down. Each person will be responsible for paying for their own greens fees on the day of the outing. We just need for you to confirm your participation by the Sunday one week before each golf outing. We will make reservations for enough foursomes to cover who has registered.

We are planning to have these "Praying for Pars" golf outings on the second Sunday of each month, through October. Please mark you calendar for these dates:

• June 8
• July 13
• August 10
• September 14
• October 12

To get started, please send an e-mail to Walt McGill at wsmcgillaol.com or call him at 770-971-8890. We will use e-mail to communicate the logistics for each golf outing. If you cannot make it for some of these outings, it's no problem to just come on the dates that you can. We look forward to some great fellowship together playing golf, regardless of whether you are "praying for pars" or "eyeing some eagles" or "trying for triples"... See you there!!

Travel the King’s Highway on Pilgrimage 2009

The King’s Highway in Jordan is a most ancient route. First mentioned by name in the Bible (Numbers 20:17 and 21:22), the King's Highway was the route that Moses wished to follow as he led his people north through the land of Edom.
From Amman, the King's Highway winds southwards through the lush wheat lands of the biblical kingdom of the Ammonites. The 6th century mosaic map in Madaba is the oldest surviving map of the Holy Land. 10 minutes west of Madaba is Mount Nebo, from where Moses viewed the Holy Land.

The Kings' Highway then winds through the picturesque, shallow Wadi Wala valley, then plunges 600 meters into Jordan's miniature Grand Canyon, the Wadi Mujib (the Arnon of the Bible). Further south is the massive Crusader fortress at Kerak, built in 1136. Half an hour to the south is the Crusader fortress at hobak, built in 1115 as a key link in the Crusader outposts that guarded the lands between Jerusalem and Aqaba.

The next major stop on the King's Highway is the unique rock-cut Nabataean capital city at Petra, fulcrum of the ancient world's spice and incense routes for 400 years. From Petra, the King's Highway descends gradually past Wadi Rum and its moonscape-like natural wonders, before reaching the warm resort of Aqaba with its Mamluk castle, Islamic-Byzantine towns, and one of the world's oldest known churches.

We will travel the King's Highway from south to north during our 2009 Pilgrimage, "Following the Footsteps of Moses and Jesus." Interested in traveling on pilgrimage? Contact the office or visit the resource table in the atrium for further information.

Blood Drive Success

Thanks to all who came to give blood on Monday, April 28. We had 46 people volunteer to "get sticked" and the Red Cross was able to collect 33 pints of blood. We exceeded our goal by 6 pints thanks to the generous gifts from all who came. We will be having another drive this fall some time around Halloween so watch for “Dracula” to make the announcement.

Young Families’ Adult Dinner coming up

MUST Ministries Food Needs

MUST Ministries is in need of immediate help. Its food supplies are extremely low due to a record drop in donations and an increase of those around us that are hungry.

You can help by donating canned foods from the list below and/or organizing a food drive at work, in your neighborhood, etc. Contact Annette Lee at aleemustministries.org or call 678-218-4481. At church you may leave donations at the Outreach table in the foyer or in the Preschool office. You can make a difference in the life of someone in your community!

Items requested: beef stew, canned tuna, oatmeal, mixed vegetables, canned chicken, canned ham, canned salmon, ramen noodles, canned pork & beans, refried beans, canned fruit.

Looking ahead: Your activity dates needed

Your church staff will have a planning day on Tuesday, June 24.  We need information on any and all activities being planned for St. Catherine’s for the coming year, through May 2009. All Ministry team groups and committees, please send your information to Rose Wolfe in the church office, rosewolfebellsouth.net as soon as possible.

Sun Safety Tips from the Skin Cancer Foundation

May is Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection & Prevention Month. As the weather warms up and we head outdoors, here are some important tips to keep in mind. Get more information at www.skincancer.org

Protect Yourself and Your Family All Year Round

• Seek the shade, especially between 10 A.M. and 4 P.M.
• Do not burn.
• Avoid tanning and UV tanning booths.
• Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every day.
• Apply 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of sunscreen to your entire body 30  minutes before going outside. Reapply every two hours or after swimming or excessive sweating.
• Cover up with clothing, including a broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses.
• Keep newborns out of the sun. Sunscreens should be used on babies over the age of six months.
• Examine your skin head-to-toe every month.
• See your physician every year for a professional skin exam.

Do You Know...

• Year round sun protection is important?
• The sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation can penetrate many ty0pes of clothes?
• It can also go through automobile and residential windows?
• It can damage your eyes, contributing to cataracts, macular degeneration, and eyelid cancers?
• When you’re on snow or ice, your face and eyes are at almost twice the risk of UV damage because of reflected glare?

Recently, to combat these hidden dangers, The Skin Cancer Foundation expanded its Seal of Recommendation program. For more than two decades, the Foundation has granted the Seal to products containing SPF 15+ sunscreen that meet the highest standards for safety and effectiveness. Now, in recognition of the need for extra forms of sun protection, several other types of products have been awarded the Seal as well, including...

• A UV-protective automobile window film
• A UV-protectiveresidential window film
• A UV-blocking face maks
• A UV-blocking deck and patio awning
• A laundry product that can be added to detergent to increase UV protection in clothing
• Sunglasses that protect against UV and high-energy visible light

More than 200 products in the United States and some 20 abround currently have qualifired for the Sael. For a list of these products, call 1-800-SKIN-490, or send SASE to The Skin Cancer Foundation, 245 Fifth Ave., Suite 1403, New York, NY 10016.

Letters

Thank You!

A simple “thank you” seems inadequate to express my reaction to the wonderful surprise party on Sunday. Yet these two words are what I have to express my deep thanksgiving for my life among you and for your generous spirit. I’ve told many people that while it’s hard to rank 60 birthdays in order of best to worst, this has got to have been one of the finest birthdays in my life. It began with Joan’s surprise “gift” of our two wonderful children on Thursday afternoon and continued with the delightful party organized (and kept strictly secret) by so many of you.

For the party and many gifts, for the birthday video, for the Stephen Leaders and Ministers who were willing to stand in for me at retreat, for those who "roasted me," for your laughter, song and good wishes, and for my loving family and their willingness to set this time aside THANK YOU! Some people say that at the end of life it’s enough to have loved and been loved. I agree!
