PASTOR ’S Staff) for those interested in applying.

Keep in mind that your PNC has only been

interviewing candidates for a few months. In

July, your PNC updated the congregation on

the progress of their interviews. That update is in

the July newsletter and can also be referenced

on our webpage. I am pleased to report that

your pastoral nominating committee

continues to interview minister candidates

and they are on schedule. They will update

the congregation again in September.

Note that Presbyterians choose pastors

differently than Methodists, Roman Catholics,

and Anglicans. In those traditions, a bishop

appoints a pastor to a congregation. There is

no “interim” time for Methodist and Roman

Catholic congregations because the bishop

simply appoints the candidate (whose

employment requires that he or she accept

the position) and congregations have no

voice in the selection. Presbyterians, however,

value religion by the people for the people

and with the inalienable right to elect our

leaders and those who will serve us as pastors.

Since we do not have the office of bishop to

appoint, there is an interim period between

the time when pastors leave and when

another pastor enters.

That’s where we are. Meanwhile, ministry at

Starmount is not on hold. Through this process,

Starmount has worked together under the

leadership of two interim pastors. It’s a credit

to our congregation that we have been busy

throughout this transition time with a mission

trip, a youth conference, tutoring and even

baptizing and receiving new members into the

life of our church. Most recently, we hosted 82

children during Vacation Bible School. We will

continue to focus on our mission to reach out in

the name of Jesus. We ask that you join us in

worship, fellowship activities, and prayer as we

prepare for the next chapter in our history

which God is preparing us for.

Grace and peace,

John

When I first began as your

bridge interim pastor in June,

I told both the Transitional

and Personnel Committees

that I would constantly

update Starmount on where

we are in the process of

selecting a new minister.

Here is a summary of key events which bring

us up to date.

September 16th of 2015, Rev. John Odom

announced his resignation to accept a new

call. October 26th of 2015 was his last

Sunday. Shortly after, the session appointed

a Transitional Committee to hire an Interim

Pastor. The process of interviewing and

selecting an interim pastor takes time in itself.

Ray Mims began as our interim pastor in

March of 2016 and for the next several

months led Starmount through a Mission/

Vision Study. Each church seeking a new

pastor must complete a Mission/Vision Study

and ours was completed on October 23,

2016. It’s important to note that a typical

Mission/Vision Study takes eight months toa

year to complete, so although our Mission

Vision was completed a year after John

Odom left Starmount, Ray kept our transition

on track comparable to other Presbyterian

churches.

After the Mission Vision Study, a congregational

meeting was held on December 11, 2016 to

elect our Pastoral Nominating Committee.

Kurt Kronenfeld, Brad Smith, Gary Anderson,

Frances Gallagher, Kris Kattmann, Libbi

Gundaker and Campbell Buchanan serve

on your Pastoral Nominating Committee (PNC).

At that time, the Presbytery of Salem trained

your committee on the interview process

and helped them write a church job posting.

That training took approximately three

months. In March of 2017, Starmount

officially published our Church Information

Form (church job posting for Senior Head of

Milestones in Faith

Pastor Kathryn and Cindy Lee have been

working this summer with professional advice

from Gaye Brown and Kathryn McCrary to

assemble a new Foundations of Faith

Formation document to begin the 2017-2018

school year. The Milestones identified in the

document will serve as a roadmap for what

children should be learning by a certain age,

including The Lord’s Prayer, certain important

Bible verses, and worship concepts. Kathryn,

Cindy, and the Faith Formation Committee

are excited to incorporate these milestones

into the curriculum for the upcoming program

year. If you would like to see a copy of the

milestones, please ask Pastor Kathryn or Cindy!

Lillian Steele Residency Update

The Personnel Committee and Youth

Council, with the support

of Session, has been

diligently working to fill the

position of Lillian Steele

Resident for the 2017-2018

program year. GREAT

NEWS! At its August Session

meeting, it was unanimously

decided that Laura

Roberson be hired as the

first Lillian Steele Resident for Youth and

Young Adult Ministries. Laura, a Greensboro

native, recently graduated from UNC

Chapel Hill with a concentration in

Geography and Sociology. During her

studies, Laura worked for Young Life,

volunteering in the Pittsboro area schools.

By her senior year, Laura was serving as

coordinator of other volunteers, working

closely with parents and others for the

success of the program. Laura looks forward

to connecting with Starmount’s youth at

their school events, after school to talk

about life, and during Starmount’s activities.

Laura will be coordinating events for the

youth of Starmount, connecting with young

adults in the congregation and the

community, and leading worship as she

utilizes this year-long residency to discern

her call to ministry. Please give Laura a

warm Starmount welcome when you see her!

Guinness and the Good News

Guinness and the Good News continues at The

Porterhouse Bar & Grill! If you are a young adult

and would like to enjoy fellowship, food, and

great conversation, meet Pastor Kathryn and

others at 4608 W. Market Street (between

Montrose and N. Westgate Drive) for the

gathering’s next installment on Wednesday,

Missions

CROP WALK-October 15th!

We are excited to be participating

once again in the Greater Greensboro

Crop Walk! This event is always such

an inspiring scene: hundreds of our

Greensboro neighbors gathering at

the Grasshoppers’ stadium and walking together

in the name of fighting hunger. The walk partners

with Greensboro Urban Ministry and Church

World Service to raise money to feed the hungry

both locally and throughout the world. Feeling

helpless about how to make a difference in these

troubled times? Make a commitment to walk for

those who can’t and join our Starmount Crop

Walk Team! Contact Evelyn Garrison to sign up

to walk with our team on October 15th, and you

can begin collecting sponsorships from friends

and neighbors. The more walkers we get, the

more money we can raise! (And the more fun

the Crop Walk will be for all of us!) If you can’t

walk this year, please sponsor our team with a

donation. Step by step, we can make a difference!

Youth & Young Adults

Leadership

Preschool Committee

September brings a lot of buzz to the

halls of Starmount with the start of

another school year at Starmount

Preschool. This year is no exception!

Enrollment at the start of the year is at

record-levels, including a waiting list in

more than one class. The hard work and

dedication of Preschool Director, Cindy

Lee, and her teaching staff continues to

pay off, including being named Favorite

Preschool in Greensboro by Triad Moms

on Main in 2017!

The Preschool Committee and Cindy

want to make sure that you are aware

of two very important preschool-related

events coming up this month:

Susan White Helping Hands Fund Offering

Susan White was a beloved and

devoted church member who served as

preschool director for many years before

she retired. After her retirement, the

preschool wanted to honor her by

creating the Susan White Helping Hands

Fund. This fund assists families going

through a short-term crisis, like

a parent losing a job or a medical

emergency. Through this Fund, we

have helped many families during

difficult times over the years. On Kickoff

Sunday each year, we have a special

collection during the offering specifically

for this Fund. This year, the Preschool

Committee is already aware of multiple

families in need of receiving help from

this fund. Please prayerfully consider

giving to the Susan White Helping Hands

Fund during Kickoff Sunday or at any

time throughout the year as you may be

able.

Fall Consignment Sale!

Since the fall of 2010, Starmount and its

Preschool have held a bi-annual

consignment sale: once in the fall for fall

and winter clothing and accessories,

and once in the spring for spring and

summer clothing and accessories. The

proceeds of the sale benefit the Susan

White Enrichment Fund, which provides

the Preschool with supplemental

learning for its students, including The

Creature Teacher, music, and a new

science component for this year. This

fall’s sale is quickly approaching:

September 19-21. Those who consign

receive 70% of their sales; if consignors

successfully complete two two-hour shifts

during the sale, they receive 80%! If you

would like to consign items, volunteer

during the sale, or provide snacks and

support to those working the sale, please

speak to Megan Chandler or Cindy Lee.

New Yoga Class beginning September 14:

Out of the Chair!

Some of our longtime chair

class students have developed

their yoga skills to the point

where they need a little more

challenge. So we’re meeting that challenge

with a new class called Out of the Chair. Out of the Chair will be a gentle yoga class

that will be accessible for anyone who can

get down on the floor. It will include standing

asanas (poses) for strength building as well

as bringing in many other opportunities for

stretching, flexibility, and balance work

including kneeling and lying on the floor.

The class will be more gentle than the

current classes offered at 9:30 on Friday

and 5:30 on Sunday.

Out of the Chair will be appropriate for

students who have been attending chair

classes, but it is also a good opportunity for

students who have been apprehensive

about stepping into the more challenging

classes. Out of the Chair will be reactive to

the bodies of the students who come to the

class.

Out of the Chair classes will begin on

Thursday, September 14, at 11:30 am. If you

are interested in attending, simply wear

comfortable clothes in which you can move

easily. If you have a yoga mat, please bring

it, but we do have plenty of mats and other

props available in the yoga room.

If you have questions, please contact

Jennifer Dowler at [email protected]

or cell phone 336-312-9589. The September

class schedule will be:

Chair Classes – 11:30 -12:30 on Tuesday

and Friday

Out of the Chair – 11:30-12:30 on Thursday

Beginner/Intermediate Classes – 9:30 on

Friday and 5:30 on Sunday

Co-Ed Class – 7:00 on Wednesday

______________written by Jennifer Dowler

At a meeting on September 29, 1952 at

First Presbyterian Church, a committee

of ten was named to obtain Charter

Members for Starmount Church.

From the Sept. 27, 1992 Session meeting:

"Jim Layman reported for Betty Hankins

that the Foundation/Memorials

Committee has developed a prioritized

list of needs … submitted by sessional

committees... The top needs: new

telephone system, repairs and

replacement for playground equipment,

portable sound system, VCR's and TV's

for upper level classrooms … sound

system for nursery so workers can hear

worship."

"Deacons want better communication

between boards and for the

congregation. They suggest having

minutes of both boards available in the

library for anyone who wants to read

them.”

Take Time for Your Life, A

Personal Coach’s Seven-Step

Program For Creating The Life

You Want by Cheryl Richardson.

“If you're tired of living a life that

feels out of control and are ready to live

life on your own terms--while still meeting

your responsibilities--get ready to take

action! Packed with useful exercises,

checklists, concrete advice, client

success stories, personal anecdotes, and

a wealth of resources, Cheryl Richardson's

seven-step program shows you how to

identify and eliminate the things in life

that are draining you and replace them

with the things that fuel you. She gives

you permission to put yourself at the top

of your list. By doing so, you will find not

only more energy and more enthusiasm

but also that your relationships, your

finances, your work, and your sense of

well-being are improved and better

balanced. Whether you're a corporate

executive working sixty hours a week, a

single parent trying to raise a family,

someone starting his or her own business,

or going back to school, Take Time for

Your Life shows you how to step back,

regain control, and make conscious

decisions about the future you'd like to

create. Richardson's strategies for

overcoming the obstacles that block you

from living the life you want will help you

discover a world in which your priority list

reflects your true desires. Take time for

your life--and begin living a life that you

love.” From publisher Call no.158.1 Ric 1998

The Girl With No Name by

Diney Costeloe. “A gripping

and moving novel about a

child who escapes from Nazi

Germany to England on the Kindertransport.

Lise is thirteen when she arrives in England

in August 1939, with just one precious

letter from the mother she will never see

again. Bullied at school for being German,

worse is to come when the Blitz blows her

new home apart and she wakes up in

hospital, with no memory of who she is or

where she came from. Only the letter in

her pocket gives a clue as to her identity,

so the authorities give Lise a new name,

make her a ward of court and dispatch

her to a children's home. But one person

is sure that she is still alive - Harry, the

trouble-prone boy who protected her at

school is determined to find and rescue Lise

again if he can.” Publisher’s blurb Call no. F

ONE CHURCH, ONE BOOK Hidden Figures, The American Dream and

the Untold Story of the Black Women

Mathematicians Who Helped Win the

Space Race by Margot Lee Shetterly

The book, which was also an Oscar-

nominated hit movie, is the incredible

untold story of three African-American

women working at NASA who served as the

mathematical brains behind the successful

launch of America’s first astronaut into

orbit, John Glenn…Many of the women

recruited for the Space Task Group came

from Woman’s College, now UNCG.”

Copies of the book are available at

church. Attend the discussion on Sept. 19 at 7:00 p.m. or Sept. 20 at noon. Both sessions

will be in the library. Please sign your name

to the card in the book and leave on the

table, or bring to check-out basket in the

library. The books need to be returned to

the Church Library by Sept. 24th so Mary

Jane can return them to the Public Library.

If you’ve arrived at the church on Sunday

mornings prior to worship, you’ve noticed that a

simple continental breakfast is available in the

Gathering Space. For the last year, this breakfast

has been acquired and set up by a wonderful

team of volunteers. This team is looking for

additional members to assist in this weekly task.

By helping serve the church in this way,

volunteers would go shopping for simple

continental breakfast items (fruit, juice, pastries,

etc.) and set them up by 8:45 on the designated

Sunday morning. With the submission of the

receipt, full reimbursement would be available.

If you would like more information or would like

to assist in this way, please contact Brenda Triplett

or Pastor Kathryn. Thanks for prayerfully considering

this request!
