Presbyterian Women’s New Officers and Birthday Offering The Presbyterian Women’s Tuesday Together gathering on May 19 included the installation of new officers and the dedication of the Birthday Offering. The Birthday Offering is a PW offering collected each spring to celebrate the blessings in the lives of Presbyterian Women. The offering funds two projects not included in ongoing General Assembly mission support. The Creative Ministries Offering Committee chose Community of St. Therese of Lisieux and Bethesda Christian Community Center to receive grants from the 2015 offering. Gifts to this offering will allow these ministries to support women in Memphis, Tennessee, and Barranquilla, Columbia, who are overcoming oppressive, violent situations.
Our new officers who were installed by Robyn Michalove are: (see photo above, left to right) Amy Ryan (Moderator Elect), Amy Doze (Vice Moderator), Dottie Schroeder (Christian Action), Mary Susan Farrar, Merilys Corning (Co-Program Chairs), Brenda Lewis (Recording Secretary),Cathy Kerrigan ( Fellowship Chair), Mary Alice Dobesh and Jennifer Regen-not pictured-(Co-Historians). We are thankful for their willingness to serve for 2015-2017.
Pastors’ Corner Dear Friends, If you have children at home you might face the same challenge that Jaci and I do – finding time for shared meals around the table. We certainly try. There is a strong correlation between shared family meals and a kid’s school grades, social confidence, and healthy eating habits. Researchers have documented that family meals have all sorts of positive impacts on children. This comes as no surprise for people who read the Bible. Both the Jewish and the Christian scriptures speak regularly about shared meals. Eating together and all that led to it – growing the grain, distilling the wine, raising the sheep – were communal activities. The entire community was in on the act. Sharing meals played more than a practical role, too. It became part of Jewish, then Christian, ritual. Jews continue to observe Passover, recalling the preparation to escape from Egyptian bondage. Jesus reinterpreted the Passover, of course, and gave us the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Jesus did more with meals than reinterpret the Passover, however. Jesus ate with all kinds of people, people who were often at the edge and on the margins. He did not merely speak with sinners and tax collectors, merely interact with them, heal them, forgive them, and acknowledge them. Jesus ate with sinners and tax collectors. Jesus broke bread with all sorts of people and

it got him into all sorts of trouble. This means that, in a way of thinking, the Christian church is the community of disciples – by definition – gathered at table. (This, by the way, is why we do not have an altar in our sanctuary. An altar is that upon which a sacrifice is offered. Jesus has already offered the sacrifice so we need no altar upon which to reenact it. Rather, when we gather for communion, we use a table, the Lord’s Table, which is an object around which the people gather to be fed.) I share these thoughts with you on the way to sharing another thought, a thought about our expanding hospitality ministries. Elsewhere in this Penn Street Letter you will find details about our renewed energy for hospitality and about our new Director of Hospitality and Food Service. In this note I want simply to invite you to fully engage in the coming family mealtimes to be shared in the Great Hall. When was the last time that you and/or your family remained after worship to share a meal with your church family? If shared mealtimes are important for kids at home, surely they are also important for all of us in our church home. Come on. Give it a try. Stick around after worship on July 19. Good things happen when people share a meal. I’ll see you there,
Mission on the Move: Mission Mondays This year, Mission on the Move will be in the form of Mission Mondays, with activities every Monday morning and afternoon/evening. Pick and choose which activities you do. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Please RSVP at www.fpcfw.org/missionmondays. Our first opportunity will be Monday, June 15: Morning Activity: Formula and Diapers, 9-11 a.m. at Community Crossroads (1516 Hemphill). Bring any size diapers, small packages of wipes or gently-used children’s books. Afternoon/Evening Activity: All Church Home Monday Supper Club at the Children and Youth Shelter. Meet at the FPC Gym at 4:30 to carpool; return to FPC by 7 p.m.
The Ministry of Hospitality “…when Jesus was at table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him.” (Luke 24.23-30) Each week in ministry together at First Presbyterian Church we rehearse the story of our faith, a story of a lost people redeemed by God’s gracious willingness to adopt us into the family. The story of salvation is a story of hospitality, the saga of God’s radical and subversive intention to welcome and include us. That’s why hospitality was central to Jesus’ ministry: in the feeding of the 5,000 (Matthew 14.15-16), in the countless healings told in the Gospels, in the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10.25-37), on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24.28-31). In fact, Jesus offers us the perfect model for hospitality because “while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5.8) It’s no wonder, then, that FPC is growing its ministry of hospitality. Fostering a culture of hospitality and welcome is a focus in the congregation’s current Strategic Plan, a focus owned by the entire membership, emphasizing hospitality from the pulpit, in class curriculum, in our conversations and in our actions through the ministries and programs of the church. One of the ways FPC is living into this ministry is by striving to offer a full range of ministries for both members and outside groups centered on fellowship and shared food – food unites us, after all. We will accomplish this vision with a more developed hospitality ministry, starting with a new staff member. We are pleased to announce Katie Seelye as the Director of Hospitality and Food Service, effective June 1. FPC finds the ministry of hospitality so important that we’ve added the word hospitality to the title of this new position. Katie’s duties will include imagining and creating the preparation of healthy meals for members and outside groups, F3 take-home meals, nutrition education, and partnering with committees to plan engaging programming. Katie will be an important part of our overall hospitality effort. See Katie’s bio at the right. Your first chance to see Katie’s contribution to our hospitality efforts will be at an All-Congregation Lunch this summer. Be the Session’s guest on Sunday, July 19 at 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. in the Great Hall! There will be a new monthly rhythm to hospitality events at FPC. Lunch will be offered to members every first Sunday of the month, at 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. in the Great Hall. Every third Sunday, lunch will be provided for the Session during its called meetings. Katie will prepare dinner for the Youth Ministry on the first and third Sundays during the school year (dinner will be ordered out the other weeks). In addition to this monthly rhythm, meals will be offered to other church groups on an as-needed basis. As our table fellowship grows, watch for additional opportunities to break bread with friends at First Pres. Hospitality is more than creating a perfect environment. It is creating spaces for relationships to develop and thrive. As we continue to rehearse the story of our faith together, we encourage you to find ways to be part of this ministry of hospitality. We hope to see you as the community of faith gathers in the coming weeks, months, and beyond.
Welcome New Staff, Katie Seelye Beginning June 1, First Presbyterian Church is pleased to welcome Katie Seelye to the staff as its new Director of Hospitality and Food Service. Read more about this position at the left. Here are a few words from Katie. Hi, I’m Katie! I’m a Jesus-loving, foodcooking, adventurehaving, coffeedrinking, 27 year old from Arlington. I grew up very involved in church and at the age of 15 began volunteering in our church kitchen. I knew from a very early age that I wanted a career in food. After graduating from high school, I attended the Culinary Institute of America and received a Bachelor’s degree in Culinary Arts and Hotel/Restaurant Management. There, I served as the President of the Culinary Christian Fellowship for two years and was involved in a wonderful church. I have worked at Prestonwood Baptist Church, for an international chocolate company, and at a few hotels and restaurants. I also run my own catering business and have taught both at the collegiate level and for beginner cooks. For the past year or so, I worked at First Baptist Church as their Food Service Manager and have absolutely loved working in ministry. I come from a musical family and love to sing. I love traveling and exploring new places and find food to be the best way to experience a new place. I am also a huge sports fan, especially the Dallas Stars! I am so very excited to join you all and can’t wait to feed you! Katie Seelye

Reading the Apocrypha
First Connections Class
The canon of Scripture for Presbyterians (and all Protestants) includes the 66 books of the Hebrew and Greek scriptures (the Old and New Testaments). Other traditions (Roman Catholic and Orthodox) include books known as the Apocrypha. These books were written in the time period between the Old and New Testament books and are regularly included in study Bibles.
An abbreviated schedule of the First Connections Class will be offered this month. This is a class designed for visitors and new members, but anyone is invited—even those who have been members for 50 years! Classes are filled with information about the many ministries of FPC. We meet Sundays in June at 10 in the Parlor. Contact Martha Zaborowski in the office with questions.
Over the last several years, hundreds of FPC members have participated in the Reading the Bible in 9 Months program, which includes all 66 books of the Protestant canon. This summer a reading plan is provided for the Apocrypha! Whether you are in town this summer or travelling, reading through the Apocrypha can be an interesting journey with new and engaging biblical material. Introduction to the Apocrypha Class Sundays, June 7 - July 19 at 10 a.m. in Room 237 Dr. Toni Craven will be leading this introduction as part of the adult summer Church School program. Additionally, the Rev. Dr. Michael Waschevski will also offer three monthly check-in sessions for readers to share their questions and insight. The monthly check-ins occur on June 21, July 19, and August 16 at 5 p.m. Reading the Apocrypha Plan The plan for reading the Apocrypha is available for download at www.fpcfw.org/apocrypha, or you may contact Celeste Falter at 817.335.1231. If you plan to read along with Michael, please let Celeste know. She will send reminders of upcoming check-in opportunities.

Young Adults: Concert in the Garden Saturday, June 13 at 8 p.m. Young adults, plan now to join us for a night of music and fun at “The Music of Journey” Concerts in the Garden event at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens! Cost is $20 per ticket. Lawn seating and limited tickets available, so reserve yours today! Sign up at www.fpcfw.org/ young-adults. ABOUT THE MUSIC OF JOURNEY: It’ll be the best rock concert of the summer! The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra presents The Music of Journey – one of the most popular American rock bands of all time. Relive the greatest anthems of the 70s and the 80s with hits like “Don’t Stop Believing,” “Faithfully,” “Any Way you Want It,” and many more, all backed by the FWSO.
Book People Meetings You’re invited to join the Book People Book Club for its next meeting on July 13 from 12-1 p.m. as they discuss Ruby by Cynthia Bond (note: there is no June meeting). Ruby is a hard book, a challenging and often unpleasant story. It has spiritual elements far, far away from our Presbyterian and reformed theology and practices. Why are we reading it? First, it is beautifully written. Bond, in her debut novel, has a breath-taking command of language. Second of all, although it is a hard story, a sad story, a difficult story, there are many truths in the story for some people. Lastly, it has an amazing grace-filled, hope-filled ending. It is worth struggling through the morass to this end, which is full of light and goodness.
Westminster Class Ice Cream Party The Westminster Class will have an ice cream party at the home of Jo Armistead on June 13 at 7:30 p.m. Bring lawn chairs and either cookies or ice cream! Don’t miss this fun summer gathering.
Walking Moai Groups Offered through FPC Come join a First Presbyterian Church Walking Moai Group and find a new way to get healthier, happier and more connected. Walking Moais are a great way to meet new friends and stay healthy. What is a Walking Moai? Fort Worth’s Blue Zones Project® Walking Moais are groups of 5 to 8 people who walk together at least once a week for 10 weeks to points of interest throughout the community. Each group decides when and where it will walk. The term “moai” (pronounced mow-eye) comes from Okinawa, Japan. It means “meeting for a common purpose.” It originated as a way for villagers to support each other in times of need. Walking Moais encourage that same social network while adding the physical benefits of walking. You don’t need to put a group together; just come join us at our Walking Moai Kickoff on Tuesday, June 23 at 6 p.m. in the Youth Center. Meet others interested in walking and meeting new people. Your friends and neighbors are welcome to attend as well. Get moving, feel better and enjoy life more! Please email your intent to attend to
[email protected]. The Blue Zone will provide material for us. (For more information on Fort Worth’s Blue Zone Project, visit Blue ZoneProject.com)
