Christian community begins with small groups “Which party are you going to?” That’s been the word out on the courtyard this past month as everyone who considers St. Bart’s to be their spiritual home is invited to one of several gatherings happening all around the area. “Grow with St. Bart’s” is the theme of our pledge campaign this fall, celebrating the many ways we have grown in our faith and our walk with Christ thanks to the community and ministry of St. Bartholomew’s. These gatherings are an important part of that, because smaller gatherings are a great way make new friends, which helps a larger church like ours start to feel more like a family. In fact, one of the ironies about church growth is that the larger you get, the more you need to get smaller. One of the very first things I did when I left my law practice to come to work for the church was to spend a week at Saddleback Church in Pasadena. Saddleback is an Evangelical mega-church founded by Rick Warren (of Purpose Driven Life fame). Now, if you think it’s hard to get to know people at St. Bart’s, can you imagine an ASA (average Sunday attendance) of 20,000 parishioners? They learned long ago that the key is to organize the church around small groups, and I would argue that is true even for churches the size of St. Bart’s. Don’t think so? Just ask yourself, looking
around the pews on a given Sunday: How many of the parishioners can you name? What can you say about them? Do you know what is going on in their lives that is important? Why does it matter that we get to know one another so well? Because it’s critical to effective pastoral care. One of the most tragic things clergy hear from time to time is, “I was in the hospital and no one visited me!” The larger the church, the more we rely on parishioners to notify us, as it is just too hard to always notice when someone’s absent. (Moreover, if it’s an emergency, they may not be able to let us know.) But if we were all part of a small group, that group would not only know that we had surgery scheduled, they would likely have been praying for weeks leading up to it, made arrangement to bring us communion, and might even be helping with dog sitting for Rover while we recover. If this sounds like the description of a close friend or family, then you’re getting the idea! When we know each other in this deep, intimate way – when we have ‘refrigerator rights’ at each other’s homes – we are starting to know what it means to really create Christian community. So while these “Grow with St. Bart’s” small-group gatherings are planned to be a one-time event, you continued on page 3
Use your time and talents to make a difference at St. Bart’s St. Bart’s is hiring…volunteers that is. Have you thought about getting involved in helping St Bart’s reach its massive potential, but don’t really know where to start? Are you not sure where you can volunteer and use your time and talents to make a difference? My first piece of advice is to jump in. There are a lot of areas that need help. If you are trying to determine which ministry would be right for you, check our website to find our current list of ministries. Here are a few ideas: • Thrift Shop—come join the crew. The Thrift Shop volunteers have a lot of fun sorting, pricing and displaying recent donations. Talk to Cheryl Roop (wroop@cox. net or 858-486-5033) or anyone in the Nook on Sunday about joining in. • Ushers and Greeters—joining this ministry is an easy way to dip your toe into service. To be a greeter you have to be friendly. Pretty simple. To be an usher, you have to be able to hand out bulletins, direct people to the pews, collect the offering and help people to the communion rail. See Chuck Innis (
[email protected] or (858) 487-5274) or Bob Capettini (rcapetti@mail. sdsu.edu or (858) 487-8439) to sign up. If you can’t find them, talk to any usher. • Office volunteer—like to experience something new every day? Can you answer phones, greet visitors; use a computer and a copy machine? You might enjoy helping out in the office. Our staff is limited in size and skilled volunteers can make a difference. Patty Fuqua (
[email protected] or 858-771-1312) can help get you started. Altar Guild—Are you a detail-oriented person looking for a meaningful way to serve? Altar Guild might be for you. This ministry prepares the table and maintains the vessels and vestments used at the altar for worship service. And they have a lot of fun! Carla Morrissey (carla_morrisey@ yahoo.com or (858) 527-0049) is the leader of this group and would love to have you contact her. • Green Thumb Ministry—Do you like to get your hands dirty? Do you have a green thumb, or at least a desire to work outdoors? Green Thumb is for you. And this
Page 2
is a fun group! Talk to Robin Rowland (robin1938@cox. net or 760-294-9826) to get started. Even better, step up to a leadership position. Here are some positions that need someone to assume a leadership role: • International Mission Coordinator—you might be saying that you didn’t know we do international missions. And you’re right. We don’t. But we will! We need someone to step up to lead this effort. This job will be challenging, but it’s harder to think of something that will be more rewarding. If someone wants to be a coleader, see me and we’ll do it together! • Outreach Coordinator—Outreach can be defined a lot of ways. But at St. Bart’s we’re involved in a lot of projects that tend to get stovepiped. We know there are benefits to working together, but sometimes that doesn’t happen. We need someone who is good at bringing people together. See Chris Harris (charris@ stbartschurch.org) to discuss how you can help in this area. There are many other areas where we can use some help. Like to write? Have a talent for photography? Are you interested in spreading the word about St Bart’s? Our “Communication team” is really just the talented Cordee Manis and she needs help! Contact Cordee (news@stbartschurch) about writing articles, providing story ideas, taking photos, or any other ideas you have to improve and increase communications. Whatever you’re interested in, whatever you think might fit your talents, whatever area that you think needs help, please step up! We need your time. We need your talents. You will not regret it! If you have questions, or if you’re still not sure about volunteering, or you don’t have the time, or you think you have nothing to offer, or you just want to talk about it, please call or email me to discuss. I’m always available! Mike Fuqua Junior Warden

Thrift Shop Ministry News
Signals, services and spirit You’ll be hearing the carillon bells chiming at regular service hours and at 10 am each Sunday morning. Those chiming tolls at 10:00 alert the teachers and clergy that it is now time to draw to a close whatever they may be doing at that time, whether it is teaching, leading a class, talking to parishioners, or eating donuts. Then the choir will gather on the patio and have a prayer time together before entering the sanctuary to lead the “gathering music” for the 10:15 service. The rector will then welcome everyone to services and help us all refocus our collective thoughts toward the work of worship together. The next bell chimes will then be played at 10:15, which is the start of the opening processional hymn. It is important to think about our common spiritual journey together. Every time we gather, we are discovering what it means to be the body of Christ in a particular place and time. It is a holy and beautiful thing. It expresses our inner life as we realize that we are standing on holy ground together. We must be fully present to each other and to God’s Spirit in our midst. I read recently that emerging churches are interested and intrigued to experience God more than to rationally understand conceptually. Church is an experience to be had, not a doctrine to be learned. May the bells and the Spirit penetrate our minds and our souls and help us resonate with a sense of belonging, belonging to something bigger and greater than ourselves. To God be the Glory. Sing on! Dr. William J. Eichorn
October is here and the holidays are just around the corner. Why not make a visit to our Thrift Shop in the Carriage Center on Poway Road, where you will find many wonderful items. If you are interested in joining our amazing team of volunteers, please call Cheryl Roop, our Volunteer Coordinator 858- 486-5033 and she will arrange an orientation session for you.

A “Fall Festival” is being planned for The Nook, with Art work and holiday items, so watch the weekly news for more details. Our wonderful Art volunteers are in the process of setting up “St. Bart’s Gallery” online, where we will be selling higher priced art, including a beautiful sampler from the 1880’s, a photo album of Los Angeles in the 1800’s and other select items. This should be up and running very soon.

never know who can come of them. You might meet a new friend or deepen an existing friendship. At my last church, we started a 20’s and 30’s ministry when several of us at such a gathering decided we wanted more time to get to know one another. That group is still going 10 years later and it has served as a doorway into the church for hundreds of young adults over the years, numerous vestry members and at least a half dozen clergy – including myself! So if you have not yet RSVP’d to a “Grow with St. Bart’s” gathering, drop me an email or give me a call. You never know where it might lead!

Interfaith Community Services News = More outreach opportunities! The 2015 annual meeting of Interfaith in September was alive with passion and hope and stories of success. Explore how you or your family might be part of that energy while spreading Christ’s love through action.
4th Wednesday at 6 a.m. Denny Walters has been serving and coordinating others to help serve people in need for over 18 years in the Interfaith Nutrition Center. Ask him why!
Merle’s Place Ministry - A number of St. Bart’s individuals and families serve veteran residents at Interfaith on the 1st & 3rd (& 5th) Sunday of each month from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. We can always use more! Pippa Mills, Don Norris, Diane Covel, Linda Meling and Pat Armstrong are just a few of the many St. Bart’s parishioners involved. Ask them why!
Haven House – The cold weather shelter in Escondido will become the first year round homeless shelter in North County this December. I would like to start a Haven House volunteer roster in advance of the opening and then combine the two ministries.
Interfaith Breakfast – Over 125 men, women and children are served a hot meal and given a bag lunch to go every weekday morning. St. Bart’s volunteers serve on the

Calling All Angels How do you show Jesus to a prisoner’s child? The answer is simple….by letting Jesus shine through you! God has given us a great opportunity to reach out to families broken by crime, thus St. Bart’s will once again be actively involved in the Angel Tree ministry of Prison Fellowship for the 2015 Christmas season. In order for St. Bart’s to sponsor over 130 children, we need your assistance to call the caregivers to learn what the children would like for Christmas. You will only be calling 5 to 6 families, and you will have a specific script to gather the necessary information for gift selection. If you are bilingual, that’s even better, for a number of families are not English speaking. The phone calling will begin towards the end of the October. Won’t you consider helping out to bring joy to these children? Let your light shine by calling me at 858-4851770 or e-mail
[email protected]. Yes, we are all busy; however, let us praise the Lord for our many blessings and the opportunity to love and serve Him with gladness and singleness of heart! Peace of the Lord, Rosalind Duddy, Angel Tree Coordinator

An Invitation Hello, my name is... Why do we have name tags for our members? For a lot of reasons, all of which say a lot about how you view others. It says that you are inviting others to be friendly. That you hope you’ll be speaking to someone you’ve never met. That you realize that not everyone knows who you are. It says you want to spare someone the embarrassment of not remembering if you are Joyce or Joan. That you want to be introduced to their family or friends. That you want to be connected to those around you. In the next few weeks, won’t you get into the habit of wearing your name tag every time you are in church? How awesome it would be to know that when a new visitor arrives, he or she will feel immediately among friends, because our name tags will silently be proclaiming “Hello, my name is…”
St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church
Life is Short: Find your true religion Our August 30 services, (Proper 17), opened with a Collect which asked that God increase in us true religion. Here it is: “Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good things: Graft in our hearts the love of your Name; increase in us true religion; nourish us with all goodness; and bring forth in us the fruit of good works; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen” That phrase “true religion” catches my attention because I have often wondered what it means. Is Christianity the only true religion? Is being an Episcopalian the only true denomination in Christendom? Does it imply that Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism are not true religions? What is truth? As many of you know, studying congregational development is one of my passions. Why some congregations grow and why some do not. Why denominations grow and why they do not. Why do we see a decline of Christianity in America? The phrase “true religion” sticks with me because those of us who represent organized religion seem besieged by grim statistics and institutional failures. When I ask people why they don’t participate in organized religion, I’m often told because the church is filled with hypocrites, you folks in the church don’t practice what you preach. Last month the Renewal Works article pointed to a case in point about the hacking of the website AshleyMadison that featured online facilitation of extramarital affairs, with over 124 million visits per month this year. I read from a number of sources, including Christianity Today, that 400 pastors of many denominations would be tendering resignations because their contact information showed up on this website. I don’t know if any or all those resignations happened, but as I read these articles describing the transgressions, I noted the tagline for the Ashley-
October 2015
Madison website: “Life is short. Have an affair.” It reminded me of other quotes I’ve heard beginning with the words “Life is short.” As I puzzled about the phrase “true religion”, it occurred to me that what we add to the statement: “Life is short” is a kind of religious statement, a theological, ethical, philosophical affirmation, perhaps even a creed. Our sense of the implications of the shortness of life provides a way to talk about what we value, what we hope for, how we wish for our lives to unfold, what we’ll do with the time we’re given. It is a way of talking about our vision of true religion. “Life is short. Have an affair.” is one such statement. But there are others. The well known religious scholar Marcus Borg reflected on the shortness of life with a blessing that can be traced back to the 18th century. It seems to touch people when they hear it, as it touched me when I first heard it. It goes like this: Life is short and we do not have too much time to gladden the hearts of those who travel with us. So be swift to love, make haste to be kind, and God’s blessing be with you always. This blessing notes the holy implications of the shortness of life. It calls us with some urgency to be of service, to love, to show concern for others. It’s a blessing that I believe if practiced can go a long way to growing the church. So try this experiment. Start with the phrase: Life is short. What are the implications for you for this today which will be over shortly? What are the implications for all the days that will follow? (None of us know how many there will be.) Chances are, the way you build on those three words will say a lot about your vision of true religion. Credits to - Jay Sidebotham The Rev Bill Zettinger

Sunday School News Our Adventures continue…. Sunday School is really bustling as we continue our quest to find the hidden treasures of the Bible through treasure hunts, interactive lessons, crafts and games. We have over 75 children registered so far, with new families joining us all the time – it’s a great time to be at St Bart’s.
have been announced, we’ll head up to the Parish Hall to cool off with an ice cream sundae bar. We also look forward to honoring All Saints Sunday in church on November 1. Kindergarteners and above can bring in pictures of their personal saint – maybe someone no longer with us or someone very special in their lives – so we can all honor them during this special service. Did you know that Godly Play is now offered at 9:10 a.m. every Sunday for ages 4 through 5th grade, teaching all new lessons from the enrichment series? Thanks to a generous donation from Francis Blair and Earnie Giles in memory of their beloved dog, Casper, we have been able to purchase new materials which have already been enjoyed by many children, while their parents enjoy forums and book study. 2nd and 3rd graders also get the opportunity to wonder during weekly Godly Play lessons following the church calendar, preparing them for Communion class and 4th and 5th grade Bible study.
We are looking forward to our annual Project Wildlife presentation on October 4 at 9:10 a.m. when young and old alike learn how to care for our local wildlife. We’ll also meet a couple of animal ambassadors, which everyone always enjoys. Later this month I will be heading down to Tijuana, Mexico, to visit Daniel, our Vida Joven sponsor child. We will be heading down on October 17 in the home’s 15 person passenger van, which will leave St. John’s, Chula Vista at 9 a.m. If you would like to join us, please register at https://vidajovendemexico.org/get-involved/#visit. You won’t want to miss our 7th annual Trunk or Treat on October 25 from 3-5 p.m. Come and decorate your trunk, then send the kids off to safely trick or treat. Enjoy amazing face painting, games, plenty of treats, and prizes for the best, cutest and funniest trunks. Once the winners

The Saints Go Marching On: Holy People of the Church & Our Lives Sundays at 9 a.m. The Bible (particularly in the writings of Paul) speaks often of “saints” -- people marked specially by God as holy for their dedication to the mission & ministry of the church. In this 5-week series, we will explore the lives & ministries of four the Church’s greatest Saints (or nearSaint, as the case may be), and we will share about the everyday saints in our own lives. Oct. 4: St. Francis of Assisi — We all know him as the patron saint of animals and the environment, but the ministry of this 13th Century Saint went much deeper. Oct. 11: St. Bartholomew the Apostle — How much do you know about the namesake of our home parish, handchosen by Jesus to be one of The Twelve? Oct. 18: St. Augustine of Hippo — Said to be one of the smartest men & greatest theologians ever to grace the planet, this 4th Century Saint lived a largely hedonistic lifestyle until a dramatic conversion in his 30’s. Oct. 25: Mother Teresa — Beatified by Pope John Paul II only four years after her death in 1999 and currently awaiting canonization, Teresa of Calcutta set the gold standard for service to the poor & outcast among us. Nov. 1: The Saints Among Us — On All Saints Day, come armed with a photo and a story of someone who has been an “everyday saint” in your own life.

Join the Cursillo Community The Fall Cursillo weekend is fast approaching. This year, the weekend is October 22-25, 2015 at Camp Stevens in Julian. Fall weekends in Julian are usually blessed with fine weather, with just a touch of autumn that we often miss in the “lowlands.” What is Cursillo? Cursillo is a movement of the Christian church. Its purpose is to help those in the church understand their individual callings to be Christian leaders. This leadership may be exercised in work situations, in the family and social life, in leisure activities, and within the church environment. In Cursillo, leadership does not meant power over others, but influence upon others; all of us need to be aware that we can exert a positive influence on those around us. If you’d like more information, please contact Lee or Sandy Morrison. Lee:
