2 JUNE Food Pantry Needs Last year, SPEAC served 3,395 households; 9,734 individuals with 16,392 bags of groceries. Thank you for helping! Place shared items in the grocery cart outside the Sanctuary. Special needs at this time include: Dry beans Ramen Noodles Rice Cereal Pork and beans Pineapple Hamburger Helper CA$H DONATIONS are also welcome; make checks to SPEAC Food Pantry Again this month, please do not drop off Food Pantry items in Narthex; bring into sanctuary for dedication DURING worship on first Sunday of month. Fasting and feastingggg continues in June, July, and Augustgggggggggg This summer, we ll continue our pattern of feasting at the Lord s Table, celebrating Communion on most Sundays and then fasting and feeding others, dedicating our offerings to the SPEAC food pantry, on the first Sunday. W h y t h e first Sunday? Because this is the day when we traditionally receive an offering for SPEAC, accepting your donations of food, materials, and other resources for the work of this vital ministry. But also because a change on any other day wouldn t be the same. We re used to receiving Communion on the first Sunday so if we fasted on another day, on a day when we re not used to having Communion, it wouldn t have the same impact. It would be harder to see the connection between Christ s call to feed others and the joyful feast of Communion. Because of our accustomed rhythms on the first Sunday, we experience a different rhythm in a more powerful way. ;l;ll;l;l ; ;l l ll ;l ;lk l lk lk ;lk So, in June, July, and August, on the first Sunday, we will fast and feed others, bringing our pantry offerings into the sanctuary and dedicating them at the Lord s Table. On the other Sundays, we will feast, enjoying the real presence of the Risen Christ in glorious abundance! In both ways, we will experience a true Communion with Jesus Christ. Wednesday Evening June 14: Wednesday at Weatherby! You are invited to join us at Weatherby Lake s C-Point from 5 8 pm for an evening of outdoor fellowship with hamburgers, hot dogs and drinks provided! The Platte County Back To School Fair will be held on Thursday, August 3, 2017, at The Rock of KC Church, N. Winan Rd., KCMO This event helps to provide Platte County students of limited resources with school supplies and hygiene packets to start the school year. The PPC Mission Ministry team through general budget funding will again be providing earbuds to be used by students with school-issued ipads and Chromebooks for instructional purposes. Watch for a collection container in the narthex beginning in June for those wishing to donate additional earbuds or funds to purchase them. More details will follow including volunteer opportunities.

3 Pastor s Perspective ~ Rev. Steven Andrews W e celebrate seasons in the life of the church. Advent is a season of waiting that leads to Christmas and the birth of a Savior. Lent is a season of repentance, fasting, and renewal, as we journey with Jesus to Jerusalem and the cross. And Eastertide, the season that comes in the wake of Easter, is a unique opportunity to celebrate the Resurrection to bask in the light of the life Christ brings! On Sunday, June 4 th, we will celebrate the day of Pentecost, remembering the moment when the Holy Spirit came like tongues of fire (Acts 2:3) on the first believers, and remembering, too, that it never left, and those tongues of fire still live in us. The Holy Spirit is a wild, wily, wondrous being, and over the next few months, we ll dwell with that being. Of course, Jesus never leaves our side, and God is present throughout creation, and the Spirit always lives inside us, but this is the season in the life of the church when we particularly recognize and reckon with the Spirit. What do we call this season? On some church calendars, the weeks and months after Pentecost are referred to as the season of Pentecost, when we listen for the voice of the Spirit as it guides our church and our lives. On other church calendars, the season after Pentecost is called ordinary time, not because it s regular, but because it s counted ordinary as in ordinal, or ordered. And even then, ordinary time is a season of growth, a season of change and maturation as we are drawn ever deeper into the wily life of the Spirit. So, where will the Holy Spirit lead us in these coming weeks and months? P A G E 3 In Sunday morning worship, we will explore the stories of Scripture, and see how they are woven like a tapestry into the fabric of our lives. From June 11 th through July 9 th, we ll be exploring Stories of Strong Women, like Eve, Esther, Deborah, Jael, Joanna, and Mary. We ll see how they overcame and worked around limitations imposed by others as they responded to the call of God on their lives. We ll also dwell with contemporary stories of women doing the very same thing. Then, from July 16 th to August 6 th, we ll continue our emphasis on stories, but we ll take that road in a different direction. Deleted Scenes is a series that focuses on books that aren t in the Bible, like Bel and the Dragon, the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, and the Acts of Paul and Thecla. As we do, we ll glean holy Where will the Holy Spirit lead us? wisdom from these passages, but we ll also learn more about why they didn t make the cut. As people, the stories we tell define who we ve been and who we re becoming. They say a lot about how we see ourselves and how we think about our world. But the stories we don t tell say a lot, as well; they, too, are part of the way we define ourselves and our world. The Holy Spirit has a number of things in store for us over the next few months, and in the end, who can say how the Spirit will move? Personally, I have my ideas, but I also know that this wild, wily, and wondrous being has surprised me before. Over the next few months, as we dwell with the stories of the Bible and the stories of our lives, we ll hear new things in old Scriptures, make inspiring connections, and find the tongues of fire dwelling within us. Let s prepare for the journey.

4 Unbinding The Gospel One Participant s Experience Having been a PPC member for some 30 years, I had not before participated in a small group study outside of Sunday School. (Indeed, it s been a long journey!) Unbinding The Gospel was that opportunity. Adeptly facilitated by Janet Geary, for me the group experience was the embodiment of what was being prescribed in the guidebook: developing a more intimate relationship with fellow congregants; gaining a comfort level in witnessing our faith in our own way and style; and a reminder that loving God and one another is the underpinning of our evangelism. When Unbinding The Heart is introduced later this year I hope others who like myself might have been reticent, take the leap of faith into the small group experience and are similarly blessed with the personal faith development and group unity we shared. Doug Ballou PPC participates in Bachathon Several PPC members participated in the 38 th annual Bachathon at Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral on May 7. The annual festival of the great music of Johann Sebastian Bach is sponsored by the Kansas City Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. Again this year, Paul Erickson was among the featured Bach organists. This year s program also included the Northland Community Choir, which includes many PPC members and is directed by Paul Erickson. T H E S A L T S H A K E R

6 A Note from Pastor Steve: Thank you to PPC and the Presbyterian Church (USA)! In May, I participated in a denominational program called CREDO, where ministers spend a week at a retreat center, meeting with other pastors and a trained faculty, focusing on our spiritual, emotional, physical, and financial health. It was a powerful, life-giving week, and there are many ways in which your generosity made it possible. Thank you to Bob Turpin for stepping into the pulpit on May 14 th, to Bill Geary for leading The Way, to Paul Erickson who filled in for confirmation and youth group, and to the session, who showed patience and grace with all of my scheduling and rescheduling needs. But beyond those specific folks, if you are a financial supporter of the church, you helped pay the Board of Pensions dues that made this retreat possible. For this week away, the church paid a nominal fee for which I m also grateful from the budget for my continuing education, but much of the support came from denominational groups. As a church, when we support our denomination through per capita payments, special offerings, and Board of Pensions dues, this is the kind of thing we support. I m grateful, and so are my other CREDO colleagues. So, again, thank you! Little Dresses Workday, Friday June 2, 1pm P A G E 6 We will be hosting Family Promise guests June 11th-17th. There are currently three families including five adults and five children: Christina with three children - Cameron, age 13, Emaleigh and Elysia (twins) 10 ; Emily and Scott with Karlee, 8; and Shereka and Antoine with their son Antoine AJ, 2. You can help us welcome them by acting as dinner and/or overnight hosts or providing food for breakfasts and lunches. There will be sign up sheets in the narthex.

HIGHER GROUNDS BUILD 2017 Conference and Build Hammond, Louisiana P A G E 7 Let us tell you the story of David and Cathy Wagner... David and Cathy live in Albany, LA in the Bayou area.

David and Cathy cashed in their savings and retirement investments to be able to purchase a home which would accommodate the four of them.

7 HIGHER GROUNDS BUILD 2017 Conference and Build Hammond, Louisiana P A G E 7 Let us tell you the story of David and Cathy Wagner... David and Cathy live in Albany, LA in the Bayou area. It s a beautiful part of our country about 50 miles north of New Orleans. They moved to Albany from North Carolina when they became the guardians of their two grandchildren. David and Cathy cashed in their savings and retirement investments to be able to purchase a home which would accommodate the four of them. They did upgrades to their new home and were starting a new life together. Now that they were living solely on their retirement income, money was tight. Two years ago, their insurance agent suggested they drop their flood insurance which would save them $600 a year. The area had not experienced a flood in over 100 years. David and Cathy weren t sure they should drop this insurance. They asked their neighbors about floods in the area and were told the same thing not in the past 100 years so they decided to drop their flood insurance. A year and a half later, last August, the area flooded and they had 3-4 feet of water throughout their home! Everything was ruined! David, Cathy, and their grandchildren lived through many hours of turmoil as they waited 18 hours to be rescued from the rushing waters. During that time, a tree fell on Cathy s knee and she now has to have knee replacement and she uses a walker to aid her until that time. Can you feel their pain and despair? They had no flood insurance, no home, and no savings to fix or rebuild their home. FEMA placed a trailer on their property and that is where they are living right now. Unfortunately, the builders for FEMA used formaldehyde (a pungent, irritating gas used in an aqueous solution as a disinfectant and preservative in chemical synthesis) in the construction of these trailers. David and Cathy, and the children, are now showing spots on their lungs due to this chemical. (This is common with anyone who has been living in these FEMAprovided trailers.) Can you imagine what they are going through? They had no hope for getting their lives back. Then they heard about the Fuller Center for Housing, Ginger Ford Northshore affiliate, Hammond, LA. They were encouraged to apply for a ReNew Build... and they were accepted! On May 27th, Graham Houston, Randy Smith, and I (Linda Myers), were privileged to be a part of the Higher Ground on the Bayou Flood Recovery Build at David and Cathy s house in Albany, LA representing Fuller Center for Housing, Greater Kansas City, MO and our own Parkville Presbyterian Church. The volunteer group of two dozen people we worked with came from all parts of the country such as Mississippi, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Southern Utah, Georgia, and as far away as Nicaragua. This is Cont on next page

HIGHER GROUNDS BUILD, cont. from previous page where we met David and Cathy. We heard their story face to face as they shared their discouragement and feeling that they had no hope.

What was most prevalent to them - You gave us hope when we had none! Now we have hope and we thank God every day for his blessings!

8 HIGHER GROUNDS BUILD, cont. from previous page where we met David and Cathy. We heard their story face to face as they shared their discouragement and feeling that they had no hope. I could go on and on... but the message became very clear at their house blessing ceremony when they expressed their gratitude to the Fuller Center volunteers. What was most prevalent to them - You gave us hope when we had none! Now we have hope and we thank God every day for his blessings! Because of your faith, and caring for those of us in need, our faith has been strengthened, and we see God at work through all of you! The last two days we spent attending the Fuller Center for Housing s National Conference where the various Covenant Partners (local affiliates) shared their successes and their trials regarding the various elements of managing as a Covenant Partner for Fuller Center. The workshops included Community Building, Grant Writing, Family Selection and Partnering, Church Relations, Fundraising, Financial Management/ Budgeting, Collaborations and Partnerships, and Board Development. A wealth of knowledge was shared and we came back energized and determined to build a stronger Fuller Center here in Kansas City. As we do we continue to follow the mission of Millard Fuller, the founder - The Economics of Jesus and The Theology of the Hammer, providing affordable and adequate housing for people in need. As you know, PPC Risk-Taking Missions supports Fuller Center for Housing Greater Kansas City. While we do not have people victimized by flooding, we do have people in need of homes built to accommodate their disabilities, homes that need renovations for disability accessibility, and general repairs such as window replacement, siding and roof repairs just to name a few. PPC and Fuller Center can t do these things without your support either in volunteering and/or financial contributions. Fuller Center uses every dollar contributed to the good of their work. There are no paid employees of the organization at the local level! The dollars go to cover material and professional services needed to complete the work. Please consider supporting the Fuller Center and helping those in need in our community! And stayed tuned for information on a PPC Fall 2017 trip to Louisiana to continue to help flood victims. You are probably aware that recently the Fuller Center for Housing of Greater Kansas City finished a home for Tara Hensler and her family here in the Northland, with many volunteers from PPC and neighboring churches. If you want to learn more about Fuller Center for Housing just reach out to Graham, Randy or Linda. Contributions can be made through Parkville Presbyterian Church, tagged Fuller Center, or directly to Fuller Center for Housing Greater Kansas City, PO Box , KC, MO Submitted by Graham Houston, Randy Smith, Linda Myers, Fuller Center for Housing KC and PPC Mission Team T H E S A L T S H A K E R
