Open Position at
John Knox Presbyterian Church | |
The Director of Communication & Ministry Coordination will provide dynamic leadership in communicating and equipping church teams to communicate the mission and vision of the church and will serve as the point person for managing the
day--to--day ministry of the church.
This self--starter will serve on the Pastoral Staff where they will participate in shaping our vision and then they will be the primary person
responsible to lead our efforts to communicate it most effectively. It is expected that half of the position will be the creation of communication message and media and half the position will involve the management of the ministry of our church.
This is a full-time position. If you know any exceptional communication people who would be interested in part-time employment, we are open to talking about this and segregating the ministry coordination responsibilities into a separate part-time position.
Please pass this on to anyone you think might be interested.
We hope to begin interviewing in early July.

Remember Who You Are
My parents had a "tag line" for me and my siblings whenever we would go out with friends on a Saturday night: Remember who you are! Remember you are a beloved child of God. Remember you are a part of this family and community. Remember!
Not bad advice for teenagers. Not bad advice for us as we prepare for the upcoming General Assembly. Of course, my sister, brothers and I always believed that part of why our parents would call us to remember who we were is so that we wouldn't do something stupid, thereby embarrassing ourselves or them. But the advice was also an affirmation of our core identity in Christ that no one could take away from us.
We might also do well to approach the General Assembly in the same way we approach a mission immersion. When on a mission trip, we enter the relationship by asking questions: How can we best serve? What is your greatest need? Rather than assuming we know best, we ask.
Questions have a way of nurturing relationships in a way that answers cannot. As poet John Cicardi reminds us: A good question is not a bolt to be tightened into place, but a seed to be planted toward the greening of the landscape of faith. But, if we're honest, it's hard to live the questions when we feel our reputation is on the line.
Like Mary and Jesus' siblings who, upon hearing that he was "out of his mind," went to fetch him home (in truth, to silence him), we too want to snuff out uncomfortable conversations that might make us look bad... or at the very least put us in the position of needing to explain a denominational issue with which we disagree. In such contexts, what does it mean to remember who we are?
I think it begins with remembering that our core identity rests in the Triune God, not in the actions we take. To be sure there is (or should be) a correlation. But core identity is shaped first and foremost by our relationship with God in Christ. Before anything else we are called to glorify God and enjoy God forever.
So this next week before engaging in the issues before us, take time to remember who you are and to remember who God is! Then through your actions, may you glorify and enjoy God... forever!
In Christ's love,
Debbie Rundlett, General Presbyter

Holy Habit: Listening
When was the last time someone really listened to you? No interrupting. No correcting. Just listened. It felt great, didn't it! Peter Scazzero believes listening is an essential part of making incarnation our model for loving well. As David Augsburger says: "Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person, they are almost indistinguishable" (From Caring Enough to Hear and Be Heard).
This next week, whether you are at General Assembly or at home, take some time to listen to someone. If you're really looking to stretch yourself, spend some time listening to someone you disagree with. Remember listening doesn't mean agreeing. But it is an important part of making incarnation our model. Dare to enter their world, even as you remember who you are in Christ.
A possible question to get the conversation started might be: What challenges are you or your community currently facing? |

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As we live beyond Easter and on into the season beyond Pentecost we hold fast to the words of the Apostle Peter: "His divine power has given us everything needed for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness." Christ remains our glory and goodness.
We write to you as preparations are being made for the 220th General Assembly. This year GA meets from June 30th through July 7th in Pittsburgh, PA. As the delegates gather and do their work, there will be moments of joy and celebration. We also know there will be moments of conflict and sorrow. Delegates have much work to do and the issues at hand are complex and controversial. Both wisdom and charity call us to be in prayer through out these eight days.
At this time, we also believe that it is important for us, as members of the Muskingum Valley Presbytery, to be mindful of our own calling. This Presbytery is doing great and wonderful things and we must not lose that fact in all the stirrings of GA. Even as we pray for GA, we rejoice over our calling to:
- Equip and encourage leaders and churches in living their call,
- Nourish and build spiritually and emotionally healthy congregations,
- Nurture, challenge and support disciples to be Christ in the world.
We are working to:
- Be faithful in our use of resources,
- Live the example of what the future will be like,
- Return to theology and mission over polity and structure.
In short, we are "striving to excel in building up the church..." (Paul, I Corinthians14:12). We have reason to celebrate!
God has indeed given us everything we need for life and godliness. We look forward to the journey ahead.
In Christ,
David de Vries
Chair, Council

Board Gives Those Who Object to Benefits for Same-Gender Partners Opportunity To Formally Declare Objection
The Board of Pensions continues to take seriously the urging of the 219th General Assembly (2010) to design a relief of conscience mechanism for those who object on moral grounds to the extension of spousal and child benefits to qualified domestic partners of Benefits Plan members, effective January 1, 2013. Once the Board has enrollment and claims experience with the newly enrolled population, it will be able to take steps to design an effective mechanism.
As a first step, the Board is giving churches and other employing organizations the opportunity to formally declare their objection to this extension of benefits. The process is outlined in an article on pensions.org.
Median Salaries and Dues Minimums and Maximums for 2013 Available
Each year, the Board uses current annual effective salary data to calculate median annual effective salaries, which are needed for dues billing and benefit determinations for the following year. Pension credits, disability benefits, and death benefits are calculated at the applicable median salary when the member's total annual effective salary is below the median salary for that member's employment classification.
These salaries, along with dues minimums and maximums and the minimum salary requirementto beeligible for enrollment and continued participation in the Benefits Plan for 2013, are now available on pensions.org.
The Salaries in the Parish Ministry 2012 Salary Study is also available on pensions.org and includes a five-year comparison of average annual effective salaries received by the ordained minister members of the Benefits Plan.
Coming in July: New SkillSoft E-learning Program Registration
Active members of the Benefits Plan of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) who are looking for a convenient way to reach personal development goals will have a new opportunity to register for the SkillSoft e-learning program offered by Board University. Online registration opens July 16, and the program begins on September 10. The program registration fee is $25 per person.
Through the program, active clergy and lay church workers can take advantage of 10 online, self-paced multimedia courses that offer realistic ways to manage stress and conflict. SkillSoft is a leading provider of skill-based e-learning solutions, allowing learners to build their skills from the convenience of their homes or offices. Although the courses are not ministry-specific in content, the skills promoted in them are transferable to any career.
The topics for these business skills courses include the following:
- handling conflict
- time management and balance
- generations in the workplace
- emotional intelligence
- effective meeting leadership
- connecting and communicating with others
Watch your email inbox for your registration invitation on July 16!
Looking Ahead to General Assembly
RegionaLinks Monthly will take a break in July as the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) community convenes at the 220th General Assembly (2012) in Pittsburgh. The publication will return in August with the latest Board news and updates.

Dear friends,
I have a couple of folks that are searching for answers on how to run a successful Sunday School ministry. If your church is in the process of hosting a successful Sunday School ministry, I ask that you take a few moments to respond to these questions:
1. How are you running a successful Sunday School?
2. What is the model of your successful Sunday School?
3. How do you get parents to commit to the program?
Please send your responses to:
Nancy Umberger, ncu@netscape.com or
Cindy Krause, wkrause2@roadrunner.com
Thank you!

Greetings!
To better serve our plan members, Cigna Behavioral Health, the Benefits Plan's service provider for mental health and related services, has been working to expand the network of behavioral health professionals available to covered PC(USA) pastors, other church workers, and their families. As part of that effort, we are seeking your help.
Many, if not all, of you have had occasion to assist individuals who were experiencing serious difficulties in their personal or professional lives. Perhaps this experience brought you in contact with a counselor or therapist whom you respect and can refer to us? If so, we ask that you complete a nomination form - or encourage the therapist to complete it himself or herself - and fax it by Labor Day to the number on the form.
Doing so will enable Cigna to recruit from a pool of behavioral health professionals who come highly recommended by the Church. Once Cigna approves their credentials, it is the healthcare professionals' choice as to whether they join the Cigna network; but the first step is to have Cigna reach out to these counselors to begin the dialogue. We believe this recruitment process will yield results that improve our members' access to high-quality, in-network mental health services, provided at an affordable price.
Cigna's nationally recognized Employee Assistance Program and behavioral health network grew by nearly 15 percent in 2011. I hope you will help us seed its continued expansion in 2012 and beyond.
Many thanks and I look forward to seeing you at GA!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Since 2003 I have been involved in mission work in Belize, Central America. Over the years the mission groups I have been working with have built new homes, refurbished old homes, built bathroom facilities and playground equipment for schools as well as preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Most recently, in the past five years, Warsaw 1st Presbyterian Church has funded building projects in the San Narcisso RC School and has rewired one school building and built partitions to separate classrooms.
Each and every project has blessed the community of San Victor and San Narcisso in a powerful way. I have developed a relationship with Maestro Gregorio Moralez, principal of the San Narcisso Roman Catholic School. Each year, he and his staff help me to see where the needs of the school are most beneficial. In April of 2012, I went on a fact finding mission trip to the community of San Narcisso and met with Maestro Moralez to discuss the future of the school. Several needs have emerged as a result of that meeting: one need is that the new kindergarten class which began just two years ago is in need of a kitchen. The children have to go home to eat lunch, and for some families the work in their cane fields is more important, so some of the children will not make it back to school. Adjacent to the kindergarten building is a small building that needs refurbished that would provide a great kitchen area. The kitchen will provide cold storage of homemade lunches, tables and chairs for the students, and a clean up sink with lighting. The proposed goal of the Belize Mission 2013 document shows what it will take to provide for this need. The work will be done by parents of the children in the community.
The second need concerns the school library. We discovered that the library of the school is mostly in storage because the need for classroom space is at a premium. Only about 50% of the books are displayed in one portion of a classroom. It is difficult to send students to the library area because it interrupts the class that is using the room. Adjacent to the main school building is an area in which a library building could be placed. This will be the main focus of the 2013 mission trip. The building will have to be purchased ahead of time and placed on its foundation in time for the 2013 mission group to build shelving and catalog books. The proposed building will be constructed in the Ship Yard district of Belize by the Mennonite Community and traveled to San Narcisso RC School.
Also in the proposed goal document is a cost estimate for the library. Finally technology is a must for a community trying to raise the standard for the emerging workforce of the future. Many of you know that our children are born with a keyboard in their hands and a person that is proficient with a computer is more valuable in the workforce. The school has internet and a computer lab but much of the equipment is antiquated and needs replaced. Many of the computers are running Windows NT (2000) operating system. In late May, I received a donation to the Belize Mission project: 56 used computers and flat screen monitors. My son-in-law, Phil Wentworth is wading through the massive amount of equipment to build/refurbish at least 40 usable computers that are internet ready for the San Narcisso RC School. In order to get them to Belize, they will have to be shipped individually and I will be asking for donations for the shipping cost. This is exciting work for the Lord. This school of 300+ children will impact a community in a powerful way with these new innovations. In addition to the 2013 Mission trip we have several professional teachers who will be teaching seminars in various teaching techniques that are needed for the school. Seminars on Reading Comprehension, Special Education, Special Needs (ADHD) and Library Operations to name a few will help to make this school a powerful place of learning.
For the 2013 Mission trip to be successful we need several commitments from you. We ask for your prayers, we are seeking a substantial amount of money and we need to ask God to provide. We need your financial support. The kitchen and library will not be built without many dollars, so I ask you to please prayerfully consider what you or your church could give. Finally, this mission trip may be what God is calling you to do in 2013. There is room for you on this trip and what you bring to the table. God has gifted you with many talents and they can be used to bless the people of Belize. Whatever God is calling you to do, please do it!
In Christ,
Pastor Tim Thomas
