The Fourth Great Awakening: Emerging, Emergence, Emergent Stone Church was founded between what historians call two “Great Awakenings.” The First Great Awakening is dated from the 1730s to 1750, one of its leaders being the great New England preacher, Jonathan Edwards (“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”), whose son, Jonathan Edwards the Younger, came to Clinton in the late 1700s officially to establish the congregation that would become Stone Church. The Second Great Awakening was a religious revival that swept through this region in the early 1800s with such ferocity, especially in the northeastern United States, that Upstate New York became known as the Burned-Over District for all the fire and brimstone preaching that characterized the movement. During this time our church more than tripled in membership. A Third Great Awakening got underway after the Civil War and saw the rise in American churches of the “Social Gospel”—a movement that touched on reform movements and issues related to temperance, abolition, women's rights, prisons, education and the workplace (child labor law, etc.). Some observers now identify the stirrings of a Fourth Great Awakening. I am sure that it does not come as news to you that the world is changing. The church, as an institution in all the forms in which we have known it in North America for the past 300 years (like so many of the other institutions that once seemed so permanent from a time before we were born) is melting away. That’s the part that scares us. But here’s the upside: there is something new and fresh emerging in its place alongside, inside, and outside the confines of the church as we have known it. The “emergent,” “emerging” or “emergence” church are names given to this phenomenon. The Wikipedia entry describes it as a nascent Christian movement that crosses a number of theological boundaries including “Protestant, , post-Protestant, catholic, evangelical, post-evangelical, liberal, post-liberal, conservative, post-conservative, Anabaptist, Adventist, reformed, charismatic, neo-charismatic, and post-charismatic.” The movement aims to transcend the labels of "conservative" and "liberal," inviting seekers to a "conversation," emphasizing its developing and decentralized nature, its vast range of standpoints, and its commitment to dialogue. The movement seeks to live the faith in our "post-modern" society, seeking new/old ways of being and doing church that deconstruct traditional Christian worship, evangelism and models of Christian community. Can this “movement” happen within an established church—one founded between the first two Great Awakenings? The Mission Agency of our Presbyterian Church (USA) launched in the fall of 2009 a program called “For Such a Time,” designed to renew and grow small churches and help them to become healthy, missional congregations. The program pairs small, underserved congregations in rural, small town, and urban settings with recent seminary graduates in a two-year pastoral-residency relationship, during which they are supported and guided by a cluster of pastor-mentors. Three years on, the program has 22 recent seminary graduates serving 26 congregations in 10 presbyteries. But can something like “emergence” emerge at Stone?

Only God knows. But our Session has committed to studying and reflecting on this phenomenon that seems to be the

work of the Holy Spirit in our time. As the Denver-based, tattooed pastor of the emergent congregation called House of

All Sinners and Saints, Nadia Bolz-Weber¹ (a leader in the movement about whom I spoke in a recent sermon) observes,

“The Holy Spirit is subversive, and one of the things the Spirit does is blur lines that we’re comfortable maintaining…. I

reject the premise I often hear in progressive Christianity that in order to be down with multiculturalism or with peace

and social justice you have to jettison the Bible and Jesus. I think those are the only two things we have going for us.

Having said that, I feel there’s something about the Bible and orthodox Christian teachings -- the creeds, the Bible, the

liturgy and, most certainly and importantly, the gospel -- that even the church can’t [BLEEP] up.” As I said in a recent sermon, I have come to realize that it is less important to talk about what we believe than about what we are seeking, less helpful for us to argue about doctrine than to share with one another what it is that we hope for. With God’s help, maybe we can avoid [BLEEP]-ing it up too much! But even if we do, thanks be to God that our hope is in the One who forgives, whose strength is made perfect in our weakness. ________________________

Consecration Sunday Is Coming November 4th

Congregations that approach financial stewardship from a biblical perspective do not view the money Christians give to their church merely as a way to pay its bills. Rather, such congregations see financial contributions as a way to help people grow spiritually in their relationship with God by supporting their church’s mission and ministry with a percentage of their incomes. The Session of Stone Church has again for the third year in a row adopted the

“Consecration Sunday” approach to our stewardship as a way to explore the biblical and spiritual dimensions of generous giving in our stewardship education emphasis this year. This Consecration Sunday approach is based on the biblical perspective that focuses on the need of the giver to give for our own spiritual development, rather than on the need of the church to receive. Instead of treating people like members of a social club who should pay dues, we treat people like followers of Jesus Christ who want to give unselfishly as an act of discipleship. The Consecration Sunday program encourages us to consider proportionate and systematic giving in response to the question, “What percentage of my income is God calling me to give?” During morning worship on Consecration Sunday, November 4, we are asking our attendees and members to make their financial commitments to our church’s mission and ministry in this community and around the world. Every attendee and member who completes an Estimate of Giving Card does so voluntarily by attending morning worship on Consecration Sunday. We even urge people to attend who ordinarily feel opposed to completing such a card because this procedure is done in such a way that none feel personal embarrassment if they choose not to fill out a card. We will do no home solicitation to ask people to complete cards. During morning worship on October 28, our Pre-consecration Sunday service, our guest preacher, Rob Kolb, will lead us in an exploration of Jesus’ parables as a way of understanding our stewardship as a response to God’s generosity. Then on Consecration Sunday, November 4, leaders from our church will conduct a brief period of instruction and inspiration, climaxed by members making their commitments as a confidential act of worship and joining together for a meal after worship. We will encourage participation in Consecration Sunday events through the Consecration Sunday team and Session members. Since we will make no follow-up visits to ask people to complete their cards, we will make every effort to inform, inspire, and commit everyone to attend Consecration Sunday worship. We are grateful in advance for your enthusiastic participation in the Consecration Sunday events and program.

World Communion Sunday and the Peacemaking Offering - October 7

Presbyterians have celebrated World Communion Sunday since the mid-1930s. With the Great Depression and the possibility of another world war of great concern, a group of Presbyte-rian ministers met to pray and talk

about the church’s role in such a time. Rediscovering the unifying power of Christ in the Lord’s Supper, they reaffirmed that in Christ all Christians are one, regard-less of nationality, race, or ethnicity. From their meet-ing came the first World Communion Sunday in 1936. Since 1980, Presbyterians have received the Peacemaking Offering on World Communion Sunday in order to support our continuing effort to work for peace in our world. Please give generously.

Apple Celebration

Our annual Apple Celebration will be held on Saturday, October 13th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We will be asking for donations of all kinds of apple baked goods, with pies being the most

Christmas at the Corner “Christmas at the Corner” is just around the corner folks! Less than two months away. It will have a new look! We are downsizing a bit to accommodate our overworked church volunteers and the enlargement of our booming Fair Trade Shoppe. We still intend to continue the cookie/candy/jam and relishes table along with any crafts you good people wish to donate to the cause. The successful 7 C’s café will be in full swing. We are always looking for fresh ideas. Please call Bev Miller at 853-2548; or Ceil Gilbert 853-8289; or Grace Whittemore 853-6652 if you wish to donate a craft or have a new idea. Any suggestions are certainly welcome. Please volunteer your talents, and maybe even a shift of work time on November 23rd. We are looking forward to a successful event.

Scout News

First we congratulate Zach Blanks on officially becoming an Eagle Scout! And as we head into chill of autumn, we remem-ber the eight-day Adirondack Canoeing and Hiking Trek we took this summer:

Day 1 - We left Stone Church to start a long 3 1/2 hour drive to our location near Lake Placid. We got set up, ate dinner (with dehydrated ice cream bars for dessert), played some cards and went to sleep around 11 p.m. Day 2 - Ate a "delicious" breakfast of dehydrated eggs, orange juice and then we hiked nine miles including climbing Mt. Phelps. Day 3 - Drove to Long Lake campsite. Rested, show-ered, ate, played some cards, went to bed. Day 4 - Canoed 2/3 of Long Lake including a one-mile portage, which took us 4 hours. While getting some water I got stung 6 times by ground wasps. We canoed up the rapids and finished exhausted about 5 p.m. We had beef stroganoff for dinner, played some cards then we went to bed. Day 5 - Started the day with a grueling two-mile many-hour portage. A portage means carrying a big canoe a long ways over land because the water doesn’t go where we need it to go. We only paddled 3/4 mile that day. Nevertheless, later in the evening most of us went swim-ming in the incredibly clear and cool lake. We then pro-ceeded with the normal of playing cards and eating and had a desert of dehydrated raspberry crumble. Yum.

Deacons’ Corner

It was so nice to be back at our church last month and seeing everyone. And what a great welcome back . . . The “Taste of Spain” luncheon was so much fun!! A special thank you to Grace, Sue Forbes, Donna, Hal and Linda, and Dennis and Sue for all the wonderful Spanish treats. Everything was so good and such fun to try. And, the bonus was viewing the pictures of Jane and Alan’s wedding and all the Deweys in Spain . . .

And the best part was . . . They were all there to share and educate us. Thank you. This is just the first of fun get-togethers that the Deacons are planning. We hope to have a fun gathering about every six weeks.

But, our main purpose is being there for all of our homebound and any of our members who are in need, have a problem, or just need someone to listen. Please let us know if you need a meal, a ride, or just a visit. You are our family and we want to be there for you. Thank you for the loose offering you give the Deacons the first Sunday of each month and those of you who give us a “special gift” to help with our work. We love you all!! The Deacons

“Hamilton Serves” What a fun and productive day happened at our church on Wednesday, August 27. Our church partici-pated in Hamil-

ton College’s Community Outreach and Opportunity project, “Hamilton Serves.” This is a program that allows new students (class of 2016) to become familiar with the community while providing “helping hands” to local organizations. We had six wonderful students who came around 9:30 a.m. and stayed until 2:30 p.m. John and Chris Menard donated all the clean-ing supplies and the mulch to be used in “Midge’s Gardens.” We had members of our church work with the students. Hal worked with two of the students who did weeding, edging, and putting down mulch. Ceil, Bev, Grace, and Linda worked inside with the other four students. A lot was accomplished. The down-stairs kitchen (refrigerators, cupboards, windows, etc.) was cleaned. All the chairs, cupboards, and cobwebs were cleaned in the dining area. Floors and steps were also cleaned. We supplied a lunch for the Hamilton students and our church volunteers. Thank you to Ceil, John, Chris, Linda, and Hal for the delicious food. (The brownies-on-a-stick were a big hit… thanks, Chris!) If these students are a look into our country’s future - - - it will be a great future!

Meet our Newest Member — Mary Chamberlain

Mary may be our newest member but she is no stranger—the Chamberlains grew up in Stone Church. Her mother Marge helped in the nursery here and she also worked at Hamil-ton College in food service for several years. Her father George was a self-employed carpenter specializing in rebuilding old homes as well as constructing new ones and a bit of a perfectionist at his craft. She recalls as a young girl when her Dad rebuilt the chancel in 1954, the year the organ console was returned to the balcony. After some 40+ years, Mary moved back home six months ago to 3922 New Street, Clin-ton. She longed to be near family and now lives with her younger sister Lori. Mary is the oldest of six children. All of her siblings live locally except Robert who lives in Virginia.

All three brothers are carpenters by trade. They are a close knit family helping each other out with yard work, snowplow-ing and garage sales, etc. Only a phone call away, Robert talks Mary and Lori through working out their computer problems.

Mary graduated from Clinton in 1966 and earned an Assoc. Degree in Secretarial Science from MVCC in 1968. In June of that year she was off to Syracuse employed as a secretary for the Syracuse Research Corporation. Can you imagine typing mathematical equations, changing equipment on the typewriter to type the Greek symbols into those equations and then proofreading the work? After five years she then worked for the Carrier Corporation first in personnel and then in distribution for a short time. Because she desired more variety, she then returned to her first employment, the Syracuse Research Corp. Thankfully by that time computers began to simplify her workload and where she remained another five years.

At this time Mary took a risk. She became the secretary for three others who instituted a new company, the Research Assoc. of Syracuse starting in the living room of the president’s home. As the company grew, it moved to a small suite at Hancock Airfield and later down Northern Blvd. into other suites when the employees reached 30 in number. In 2009, due to the slow economy, they closed the Syracuse office, down sized, and moved to Rome. Mary remains with them, to date 26 years.

Tired of apartment living and desiring a sense of community, Mary bought a home in Manlius in 1994. She joined the United Church of Syracuse a combination of the Baptist and Presbyterian Churches which had a history of shared worship services and shared heating going back to World War II. When the Baptist Church burned, the two churches united. She served on the Fellowship Committee responsible for picnics, Sunday coffee, etc. She also served on the “Committee in Stitches” that was responsible for fund raisers the first Sunday in December.

Mary recalls flying to Florida when Robert invited them down in 1989 for two weeks where he was working for Habitat for Humanity at the time of the destructive Hurricane Andrew. Mary and Lori took the opportunity to visit Key West, and Epcot Center. They’ve also visited relatives in California. They are presently enjoying a few day trips.

What a joy to visit with Mary and Lori again. When Mary arrived last spring to Stone Church, she said “I really feel like I’m home again!” She is already helping at the Farmer’s Market with the Fair Trade Shop and is busy quilting table runners.

Day 6 - More paddling, more portages. Threatened to storm, but held off. Camped, ate, played some cards, went to bed. Day 7 - Portage through a bog and three beaver dams and paddled across 8th Lake. We were thrilled to grab a shower. The evening brought food, cards and slumber. Day 8 - Portaged to 7th Lake, breezed through it and 6th Lake, made a quick portage onto 5th Lake (which was more of a pond) and on to the very choppy waters of 4th Lake. People on 4th Lake also thought it sport to see if they could tip us over by having their motor boats come as close as they possibly can, making large waves and even at one point boxed us in. We found that the Algiers Island Campground was full. We decided to trudge through the 3 remaining lakes and on to Old Forge pond. We finished our long journey around 5 pm and made our way back to Clinton. We will remember this trip for a long time!
