1 THE SHEPHERD S FOLD Monthly Edition October 2017 Published monthly by and for the people of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, Sapulpa, Oklahoma The mission of Good Shepherd Church is to make disciples by sharing Jesus Christ's love and acceptance with all people. Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which He looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which He walks to do good. Yours are the hands with which He blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are His body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours. What profound words! What a call to action! But this is not a reading from the New Testament and these are not the words of an Apostle. It is a poem attributed to Saint Teresa of Avila, a prominent Spanish mystic in the sixteen century. Canonized in 1622, her books are an integral part of Spanish Renaissance literature as well as Christian meditation practices. I have found that a good place to keep this poem is next to a mirror. Some days I have looked into the mirror and said You can t be serious God! I have arthritis in my hands, my feet always hurt, and I cannot see anything without my glasses. But God isn t concerned with our physical form and abilities, for those vary with each of us. He cares about our spiritual being, our essence, the Christ in us. So when I stop trying to tell God the reasons that I cannot possibly do His work today, I hear his answer: I didn t ask you to move a mountain or change the course of a river. Some days a kind word and a smile for those I meet must be enough or perhaps a phone call to a lonely neighbor or friend. Other days my hands and feet can do more of His work. And I must confess that some days I fail miserably and trust that others are carrying the load. We all need to read the words of Saint Teresa of Avila a second time now, and a third time tomorrow, and again in the days after. More importantly, we must believe that we can make a positive difference in the world. Although as just one person, we cannot stop the violence, or the hunger, or the oppression, we can show Christ s love in the world. God s peace, Sharon All of you together are Christ s body, and each of you is a part of it. 1 Corinthians 12:27 1

3 STEWARDSHIP 2018 October will be stewardship month at Good Shepherd, culminating in a blessing of the pledges on Sunday, November 5th. Reflect on these words from Anne Frank: No one has ever become poor by giving. Or these words from Mother Teresa: It s not how much we give, but how much love we put into the giving. So what does stewardship look like in our lives today? Stewardship at Good Shepherd is seen year-round, not just one month of the year. Stewardship of time and talent often looks like the blisters and sweat from a Work Day or the tired backs and swollen feet from any number of fund-raising events. Stewardship can be seen in the faces of the Sunday School teachers or the efforts of those serving as coffee hour hosts. It can be seen behind the rail on any Sunday in the service of the acolytes, lectors and chalice bearers. It can be heard streaming from the organ each Sunday. Stewardship is serving on the Altar Guild and the Bishop s Committee. And the congregation gives generously of its treasure to support its in-house ministries, as well as ministries within the community. But giving of our treasure is also needed to meet operational expenses and ensure the continuation of Good Shepherd. Insurance premiums, utilities, supplies, lawn care, janitorial services, and office expense all are necessary for church operations. Annual pledges allow the Finance Committee to prepare a budget and try to stretch every dollar to meet the ongoing needs of maintaining our church. Let us remember that we are all stewards of the resources, abilities, and opportunities that God has entrusted to our care. We are responsible for how we treat what has been given to us and what we do with it. Every pledge is important. Please return your pledge card before November 5 th. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21 Family Fun Night Let s try something new!! In the midst of Work Day and Bazaar and Tag Sale, it s time to have an evening devoted to just FUN!!! No agenda No cost.no fuss or bother. Wednesday, October 18 th, will be the inaugural evening starting at 6PM in the parish hall. Bring your favorite food, your kids, even a movie and/or game if you want. We can talk theology or current events or get caught up on happenings with kids and relatives. Just a fun, family, evening at Good Shepherd. Family Fun Night will be in lieu of Wine and Theology in October. 3
4 GOOD SHEPHERD PRISON MINISTRY I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. Matthew 25:36 Oklahoma has the second-highest incarceration rate in the nation with over 62,000 offenders incarcerated in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections system. Over half are outside prison walls, either on parole or probation or in a community supervision system or on GPS monitoring. Another 1,700 are in county jails awaiting transfer to a state facility. That leaves over 26,000 in a state or private prison or half-way house. Women are the fastest-growing segment of the prison population.. You probably know someone who is in prison, or know someone who has a loved one in prison. How can we, the members of Good Shepherd, possibly make a difference when those numbers are so great? There are several opportunities for you to make a difference. One way is to make a financial contribution to those incarcerated who have a direct connection to our congregation. Each December Good Shepherd collects funds for the prison ministry and then sends the funds, in the manner prescribed by DOC, to the specific accounts of certain people. Those funds can be used to purchase toiletries, or to purchase a pair of tennis shoes, or to purchase food to supplement the meals served in prison. Another way to support the Prison Ministry is through support of New Hope Oklahoma, a nonprofit organization providing services to children with incarcerated parents. New Hope offers after school programs, summer camps, tutors and mentors. In September Good Shepherd filled a table at the annual fund raising luncheon. In January, Sharon will co-teach a cooking class with Rev. Judy Gann. Good Shepherd is also involved in Prison Ministry through its volunteer support for sacramental worship inside correctional facilities. Deacon Nancy Brown and Kathy Cox go to the Eddie Warrior Correctional Center and the Jess Dunn Correctional Center, both in Taft, on the 2 nd Wednesday of every month, taking communion to the prisoners from our reserve sacrament. Ted and Jan Garvin go to the same facilities on the first Wednesday of every month. They lead Evening Prayer, first at the women s prison and then at the men s. Volunteers are definitely needed. As Chair of the Diocesan Commission on Prison Ministries, Deacon Nancy can answer your questions. If you are interested in getting involved, contact her. 4
