1 Sunnyside Presbyterian Church Newsletter The Sunnyside Online every month: Pastor s Note: Powered by Pentecost June 2011 Inside this issue: Summer Is Here! 2 Bible Quiz 2 Birthdays & Anniversaries 2 Introduction to our 2011 Vacation Bible School Vacation Bible School schedule and themes Chicken and Pastry FUN-raiser Calendar 6 If we re all God s children, just think of all the cards he gets on Father s Day One More Thing. I run inside to grab one more thing before I head out. Did I leave my sunglasses? Did I grab some water or a Coke? Whether we are heading out to run an errand, taking our car to get fixed or leaving on a summer trip, how many times do you go back in for one more thing? More is better, right? It could be something we grab from the house before leaving, or something we add to our to-do list, or something we put in the grocery cart. Dave Browning, in his book Deliberate Simplicity, takes a completely different approach. Instead of trying to seek one more thing, he says we may do more by doing less. Want to get more organized? Make a do not do list, he says. Success in software with Quicken, electronics like Ipods and search engines like Google succeed by eliminating features, not adding them. Sometimes we need simplicity, more than anything! We need one thing instead of one more thing. What do we need? The one gift Jesus chose to send to his disciples after he ascended to power and glory in heaven was the gift of God s Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the gift of simplicity. The passion to do God s will, rather than overthink it. The consuming nature, which burns away Gratitude on Father s Day Father s Day was first observed in America in In 1923 the third Sunday of June was set as the official day, and in 1924 President Coolidge recommended its national observance. As we celebrate Father s Day, we likely see traits in our dads (or other father figures) that we hope to be known for ourselves: integrity, gentleness, a great sense of humor, a love of learning, a humble spirit. Amy Grant s song Father s Eyes tells of a young girl who wants nothing more than for Pentecost by Jean Restout II, Public domain. the extraneous one more things which distract us and waste our time. What does the Holy Spirit give us and those around us? It puts a spark in our step, rekindling our hope, love and joy, and it sheds light on God s presence at work in the community. The next time you reach for one more thing, consider turning around and praying for the Holy Spirit. others to recognize her father and her heavenly Father in her. When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say, She's got her father's eyes. What characteristics of God your Father are reflected in your eyes, heart and life? And what godly qualities would you like to cultivate?

2 PAGE 2 SUMMER IS HERE Bible Quiz Oh, joy! at last Summer is here, The singing of birds is everywhere, New vegetable gardens on the country sides, It s time for new babies and for new brides, The schools have closed for Summer Vacation, Eating outdoors is the new sensation, Trips are planned for the mountains and beaches, It s time for the canning of pickles and peaches, Sales on insecticides are rising strong, Fishing trips are many and long, It s time for model planes, and the flying of kites, Time for sunburned backs and mosquito bites, Everyone trying their best to keep cool, You re wishing the children were back in school, Toddlers putting sand in their hair, Oh, joy! At last Summer is here! -Marie Murphy June is a popular month for weddings. The gospel of John tells about a wedding Jesus attended at Cana. At the reception, he offered a special gift. What was it?

3 PAGE 3 Baobab (bä ōbăb) is a gigantic tree found in Africa that creates its own ecosystem. A baobab tree s hollowed-out trunk, leaves, foliage, nectar, fruit, and bark provide basic life needs for many different creatures. For two months out of the year, when the rain falls and the grasses are green in the African Savannah, the baobab tree produces leaves and flowers. The enormous tree can grow to 98 feet tall and 36 feet wide. Baobab trees are one of the world s oldest life forms, living up to 6,000 years. The baobab tree serves as a meeting place for many people to gather, discuss, and share stories. At Baobab Blast, the baobab tree is the central figure the hub of activity, energy, and life. The baobab tree supports and invites community. In fact, the baobab tree is a symbol of community. This week will be a lifechanging experience for your kids as we gather together as a community and grow in faith. As the sun rises and sets on the savannah, faith and relationships will grow as kids explore connections with God, family, friends, and others around the world.

5 PAGE 5 Chicken and Pastry Fun-raiser The Chicken and Pastry Youth Fundraiser was a tremendous success. Sure, part of the success was financial. We made a net profit of over $1,725 including several donations. Some of this money will help tornado victims. The youth are investigating three donation options that would help families recover from the destruction. Take a look at these pictures, though, and you can see how our cup overflowed as we found ourselves in more of a fun -raiser than a fund raiser. God filled us with joy and enthusiasm from the very beginning when, during a meeting, everyone s mouth began to water as someone said, You know what people would really be excited about would be our Chicken and Pastry...and you know goes great with that banana pudding. Then the congregation became a flurry of enthusiasm and generosity as we prepared for the great feast. The people of the church brought in countless items for the event, made donations of money, sold tickets, constructed signs, told their neighbors, shopped for supplies, cooked chickens and pastry, collected tickets, delivered to the homebound and served with a smile. Through this event, God caught hold of 250 people throughout our church and community, filling us with joy and generosity as we tasted and saw that the Lord is Good! Nancy and Marie redeem the Golden Ticket of the first customer of the day. Thanks Eddy! Catherine peers above the counter to see how Mrs. Peggy makes sweet tea so quickly. Note: the entire congregation helped tremendously, these are just a few of the faces. Donna, Emily and Sarai make sure everything is ready on the serving line as Beth continues watching the next batch of pastry. The clean-up crew smiles at the camera after a long day of work! With the speed and precision of a NASCAR pit crew, Barbara and Evan W. prepared your meal for take-out so it would be hot when you got home.
