Stewardship Talk November 5 – Terri Hurst, Stewardship Chair

November 9, 2023

I prayed for weeks about this talk, and it occurred to me that in all these years, after inviting many people to share their stories, I’d never shared about OUR Stewardship journey.

I grew up in a family very involved in church. Service was just a way of life. My parents believed in sharing our SPIRITUAL GIFTS in service to God, country and community.

My parents pledged every year but they never told us the dollar or percentage amount. We got to put the little numbered envelope in the plate every week. But we never saw the actual check because Mom always said, “That’s between us and God.”

Bret’s family attended church sporadically, but they also instilled in him the philosophy and habit of service to one’s community.

When we were first married, we worked in hospitality, and we rarely had Sundays or even holidays off. So our church attendance was irregular at best. We did join a church in Miami while he was in engineering school, and while we never let the plate pass us by, we didn’t pledge since we viewed it as a temporary church home.

We joined Christ Church in Norcross while pregnant with Josh. When he was born, we went to one income, and a pretty tight budget. We joined Foyers and ended up in a group with an older man, Karl, who was on vestry, or chaired Stewardship – I don’t recall which. One evening he called us, opening with “We haven’t received your pledge card yet, and I’m wondering if there’s something holding you back.”

Talk about feeling called out — no pun intended. I told him that we just felt that we weren’t in “that stage of life” yet. That with a new baby and Bret’s travel schedule, our time and treasure were very limited. And to be honest, the idea of giving 10% was just impossible.

But he explained that PLEDGING was not the same thing as TITHING. That we could pledge $1 if that’s all we had – the amount wasn’t important. By pledging, we were just saying that we were going to be around for that next year. It wasn’t a contract, it was just a way to demonstrate that we believed in the mission of that church and that we’d engage.

And so at Ingathering, we placed our pledge card into the basket on the altar. It was scary because the  amount we’d written on that card was embarrassingly small. But it was also exciting because it was the next step in our “adult” Christian journey. And it was hopeful because we were trusting that God would provide enough for us to be able to fulfil that pledge.

So. Here we were, this young family, doing our best to make it to church twice a month. At 31 and 32, we were babies. We’d scrape together a little bit of treasure for the plate but we hadn’t yet figured out how to give our time or talent.

But God is infinitely better than we are at determining how and where we can use our gifts. We got to know our deacon, Nancy Yancey, who had founded Rainbow Village, a program for mothers facing homelessness. Back then, the families lived in some old houses owned by Georgia Power. After sitting vacant for years, they leased them to Rainbow Village for $1 a year. What a huge gift for those families and the fledgling ministry.

One day Nancy mentioned that the houses constantly had issues. Little things that could be repaired by anyone handy, but also bigger things like lights not working. If only she could find an electrician who would work for free.

Well. As it happened, Bret was a licensed electrician. So he became their go-to fix-it man. Any time they needed a repair, he’d go take care of it.

That was probably when we began to trust in God’s perfect provision. Because every time he had to buy something for a repair, that money would just appear. Or he’d find exactly what he needed in his workshop which he inherited from his Granddaddy –  who was a master electrician.

God is in ALL the details.

This was an answer to our prayer for a way to supplement our meager financial offering so we could feel like we were contributing in a meaningful way.

But it was also the answer to so many prayers of so many people. God wants us to share our time, talent and treasure, and Bret’s talent — and electrician’s license — were much more valuable than our treasure, because the money he saved Rainbow Village was exponentially more than any amount we could offer.

Over time, we got more involved. We found plenty of ways to give our Time and use our Talents, and as our Treasure increased, so did our pledges. We moved over here to St. Matt’s in 2006 and the rest is history.

That phone call made me uncomfortable and I would have been perfectly happy if Josh had chosen that moment to start crying and give me an excuse to hang up. But God grows us through uncomfortable moments. And that conversation changed the way we viewed the act of pledging.

I think back to when I thought “We’re just not in that stage of life yet” and I have to laugh at young me. Because we’re always in “that stage of life,” no matter where, or how old, we are. God doesn’t give us our gifts once we hit a certain age, or income bracket. We receive our gifts when we’re born. That day when Jesus fed the 5,000 – it was a CHILD whose offering was multiplied, not the comfortable empty nester.

It’s harvest time – and as far as Jesus is concerned, it’s always harvest time. In John 4, verses 35-38, Jesus told his disciples,

“Open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the one who reaps … harvests a crop for eternal life …One sows and another reaps. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”

We all play a part in the harvest. It’s an ongoing cycle that involves the entire Body of Christ, starting way back even before those first disciples.

Today, as we celebrate All Saints, I give thanks for my parents, who prepared my soil and planted seeds, then nurtured and watered my servant’s heart. They were able to reap what they sowed with me and my brother, but weren’t able to reap the next season’s crop: my children, who are so much further along than I was at their ages.

And while that makes me a bit sad, I know that it’s as it should be, because that means they did their part in the never-ending cycle.

God meets us where we are, no matter where that is. And he loves us too much to leave us there. I wonder if Karl knew the seeds he was planting when he made that phone call over 20 years ago.

I never make phone calls like that. Fortunately for us all, God has many different ways of planting seeds.

Over the past six weeks we’ve encouraged you to think and pray about how you can use the gifts God has given you to do the work to which God has called you. I invite you to continue to talk to God about how He might want you to use your gifts to His glory. How might Jesus want YOU to participate in His Harvest?

May God continue to bless us all!

Stewardship Talk for October 22 by Greg Andrews

October 26, 2023

I was born in Covington, Kentucky in 1949. I was raised by a single mother with very little formal education, but she taught me the importance of hard work and good character. She always encouraged me in school to do better than my best. Growing up in Covington, I was destined to work in the local factories or go to jail. I chose a path far outside my realm of reality. I decided to go to college. I started college prep courses in my freshman year of high school. I also felt that basketball would be my golden ticket. I wasn’t a great player, just a good one. Good enough to draw the attention of Leon Ford, the coach at the University of Chattanooga. He gave me the opportunity of a lifetime. He set me on a path that I will always be eternally grateful for.
Coming to Chattanooga was indeed challenging, I was a young African American male going to a college whose student body consisted of less than 2% African Americans. I was to be the first African American on an athletic scholarship. As monumental a task as this appears, I was more concerned with molding into the team and being an asset to the organization. Our nation was undergoing a social revolution which made life very challenging. I was able to surround myself with a fantastic family of athletes and supporters that made those challenges insignificant. I was able to focus on what was important.
I wouldn’t know where to start in thanking the many people who guided me along this journey. During a period when getting drafted was forever looming in the shadows, I chose to join the college’s ROTC program because it offered me the opportunity to lead men, rather than to follow. Another organization which acted as a compass in keeping me pointed in the right direction was the Fellowship of Christen Athletes. It was this group that gave me strength and hope during the dark periods of my college life. It was the men of this group that taught me the joy and love of Christ’s salvation. During my junior and senior year, I was part of a service organization, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. This organization strengthened my community service involvement. Being connected to these great organizations was secondary to why I was at Chattanooga. I was there to get an education and to play basketball. I accomplished both. I played varsity the four years that I attended and was recognized as one of the leaders during that period. I completed my degree and was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the U. S. Army upon graduation.
My military career took me around the world. I served in Korea, Germany and the U. S. I served with some great soldiers during my 20 years career. I commanded, supported and taught troops from basic training to college ROTC programs. My greatest joy was being a company commander of an armor unit. The power of the equipment, the skill, the quality of the soldiers and having the knowledge that they would go into combat with me were something that most people will never understand.
Throughout my life, the one factor which has been constant is my ability to adapt to a new or changing environment. Making the jump from military to civilian life was no different. Military training and leadership experiences made me more than ready to handle most civilian job opportunities. For all the blessings I received, I knew that it was also time to give back to the community. Prior to joining St Matthews, I was a Cub Scout pack leader. As an active member of St Matthew’s Episcopal Church, I have filled many roles. I served on the Vestry with Father Doug; I was involved in both Reading Camp and Vacation Bible School. I am the President of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, I currently serving on the Outreach and Worship Committees. I am also on the St. Matthew’s Preschool Board. I am the head verger and scheduler for the LEMs, Ushers and Readers. I take what I do as a sign of God’s blessings. Some day I know that I will have to slow down, but till then I will continue to serve in whatever ministry I can. In summation, I have lived a simple life, called by God, filled with wonderful people who have touched my soul and have allowed me to touch theirs.
May you too be called by God to fulfill a ministry and share your time, talents and treasures.

Stewardship Talk, Oct 15 by Jay Jones, Vestry member

October 19, 2023

Good morning, everyone. I want to talk about stewardship. A lot of people know who I am. My name is Jay Jones, and my family and I have been members of St. Matthew’s for ten years. When we started coming here, we sought a church home, a place to belong and contribute. You probably know my wife, Amy. She contributes her talents to the choir. She’s a musician, and she does very well.
I could’ve joined the choir, but I cannot sing. I can’t carry a tune. And this fact has been put upon me by my family many times. Like I could say that, you know, my singing is so bad. How bad is it? Okay, my singing is so bad. Autotune gave up on me.
I wanted to talk to you about how we approached stewardship. In 2015, Lynn Kiker approached me about taking over the acolyte ministry. She had been doing it for 20 years and had that ministry running like a machine. It was well run, but it was becoming physically challenging for her to keep doing it, so she was looking for someone to take it over. I was reluctant to do this because I’d never done anything like that. I also wondered if I could do it. I had reservations about sticking with one thing for 20 years. But I prayed, talked with Amy about it, and agreed.
It wasn’t easy at first. I was flailing around trying to learn what to do, but I had a lot of support. I had the families, the parents there who helped, and those acolytes who knew what to do. So, what I came out of that experience was that I learned a lot about acting, but I also learned a lot about myself.
We can all agree that personal growth is good, but to make that happen, you must be willing participants. You have got to make that leap of faith.
It was a scary time, but I eventually got used to it. And after three years, I said, okay, that’s enough. I’ve learned that I have other skills and talents to give. Today, I’m on the vestry board. I’m the youth liaison for the vestry. I’m also on the audio-visual team that’s live streams, worship, and other events. With this spirit, we also encourage our children, Katie and Ellie, to contribute. Katie is in college now, but when she was here, she was an acolyte, and she was with the youth group ministry. Ellie was also an acolyte, and she’s now in the youth ministry, too.
And I’m very proud of my girls. We watch them grow up here and come into their own, and they value friendship and always want to help. Amy and I worked to teach them these values, but being here at St. Matthew’s played a significant role. I’ve seen other children come through the doors here and watched them grow up. It’s been a gift to me to watch kids come in here crawling around, making noise and growing up and graduating high school and going to college, and some of them getting married and starting a family on their own.
As I said, it is a gift and a blessing, but like all good things, it takes work. We have created a community here at St. Matthew’s not just for the single purpose of worship, and worship is essential, but we also are here to fellowship with one another. As I was preparing for this talk, I searched the Bible to find a verse. One that stood out to me was I John 1: 6-7. It says, “If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his son, purifies us from all sin.
That means that as a community, we have to work to make our community represent the teachings of Jesus. We can’t stand on the sidelines to watch. Thankfully, there are many roles here at St. Matthew’s for contributing time, treasure, and talent. The first is treasure, to pledge financial support to the church. The second is to give your time, and the third is to give your talent. To volunteer, to help out, to be there.
The return on stewardship is not a very finite thing. But I have come to think of it as making a positive impression, especially for our young people, that helps them navigate life as they grow up. You can’t quantify it. But you can see it when you talk to someone who grew up here at St. Matthew’s, and you pick up that spark. You can see it.
That is because of who we are. In stewardship, we support the community, which means we support each other. I recall an old newspaper saying that I think applies to what I’m talking about stewardship, especially with young people: “It’s not the splash that you make but the ripples that count.” Being here at St. Matthew’s and bringing up our children has benefited us. But you have to get involved, and you have to make it happen. Through your gifts of time, treasure, and talent, we are living Jesus’s teachings and making a difference. Thank you.

Jay Jones

St. Matt’s Preschool: Five Year Highlights, by Juanita Little

July 14, 2023

FIVE YEAR HIGHLIGHTS

Since being asked to submit an update on the preschool, I have been taking the time to reflect on the life-changing role that God placed me in 5 years ago. There has been much accomplished and many changes were made that affected the preschool in that timeline.

2017 – The Great Flood

The flood in the preschool caused us to find another location to hold school during renovations or face closing for a time. Since the undercroft at the church flooded at the same time, that was not a viable option. Thankfully God provided a community church just down the road that was not using their education wing. We moved there in November and returned home to St. Matthew’s in February 2018. Little did we know that this move would also plant a seed for the preschool. We could have lost some families during the transition but God is so faithful – because we didn’t. In fact, we added to our numbers starting a succession of years of full enrollment.

2018 – Playground Addition #1

The church we used while renovations from the flood were being made had playground equipment unlike ours. Because the children enjoyed theirs so much, the Executive Board decided it was time to replace the older wooden structure, that had been repaired numerous times, in the bigger playground area. Because God provided – through great stewardship and because another year of full enrollment was expected, new playground equipment and layout was prayed about, voted on by the Vestry, purchased by the preschool and installed that Fall.

2019 – Trike-A-Thon

For the first time, we held a Trike-A-Thon raising funds for St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital. The Trike-A-Thon was as a fun, service-learning program for the children that included a week of learning the importance of bike (scooter/riding toy) safety. It was a great way to teach our children about the power they have to help others, the spirit of giving, and serving other children.

2020 – Covid and WAP/TV installation

The Covid pandemic shut down the preschool in March causing much alarm and a scramble to figure out how we could keep our students and staff currently engaged while favorably effecting the future of the preschool. We quickly moved to digital learning for the remainder of the school year without requiring tuition from our families. Not only did we hold learning Zoom sessions; we added a weekly story/music hour where many of our teachers and students participated. It took all summer to write new Covid policies and have them approved by the Vestry so we could proceed to open later that September. We safely opened to smaller class sizes and fewer staff members with only shutting down one class that year for a week right before the Christmas break.

While the church and preschool were still closed, we purchased new wiring and television mounts to be installed throughout the preschool wing. This wiring was needed to upgrade the WI-FI connection and give the ability to add televisions in each of the classrooms for educational purposes and Sunday school usage.

2021—The “New Normal”

Like all schools around the world, we faced incorporating a “new normal” at the preschool. Which included not allowing parents into the building, continuing mandatory carpool and figuring out how to hold our cherished family events and in-house field trips in a safe way. All while wearing masks and continuing all of the vigorous safety and cleaning protocols. Again, God was faithful as we resumed our usual class sizes to full enrollment and more teachers returned.

We welcomed, for the first time, the Art Auction preschool fundraiser. Held in the Parish Hall with donations given by St. Matthew’s Episcopal parishioners, staff, students, local artists, students’ parents and grandparents. This fundraiser replaced the Silent Auction that was held yearly every Spring. Because the Art Auction was so successful in raising $2,875 for the preschool, we decided to hold it again the following year.

2022 – Playground Addition #2 & Welcomed Changes

I can’t even put into words how much of my faith it took to embrace the idea of adding yet more playground equipment after seeing how the disruption of the pandemic shut down so many preschools and businesses for good. But God! God continued to bless our diligence with our preschool families and faithfulness in continuing to grow the preschool by once again showing us it was time, yet again, to replace the last wooden structure on the smaller playground with new equipment. Hence, new equipment, along with a long-desired rubber pour-in-place, was installed last summer.

During the pandemic, we had to learn how to creatively hold our cherished events in new ways. Holding Graduation in the lovely gardens that the Flower Guild so diligently donates their time and talents to is one of our new favorites. It’s a lovely backdrop for pictures and we don’t have to limit our families. Another new thing we will continue to do is hold our open houses outside in the pavilion avoiding overcrowding in the classroom and allows families more individual time to chat with their child’s teacher.

This was the year of returning to some of our traditional events and embracing new changes teaching us to be so flexible. Having breakfast with Santa returned this year. We hosted a Sweetheart Dance which we haven’t held in many years. We allowed the parents to come into the building again giving them the ability to connect and communicate with teachers in person. We started the year with masks being required and changed to masks not required in January. Again, the Art Auction was a success; even better than the previous year, raising $3,800 for the preschool.

2023

As we begin another school year in just a few weeks, I realize that a change has taken place in me. A change that is teaching me that traditions or “the way we used to do it” may need adjusting or be disposed of and that’s okay. As I change positions in the preschool this Fall to Assistant Director — for family reasons — I am reminded that modifications can be good though sometimes difficult to embrace. It’s been a little hard for me to release the reins from “what we’ve always done” as Dalex Sullivan, takes on the role as Director. As she teaches me new things and makes me more tech savvy, I am trying to remember to be flexible and to see the preschool in a new light while still holding onto the mission of the ministry that embraces our preschool families, the church, and our community. A few things we never want to change is: our staff to share the light of Jesus with our little ones; not only teach academics and socialization but love for one another; and to let our actions be an illustration of the hands and feet of the body of Christ.

A Word from Fr. Tim: Resurrection and Mothers’ Day

May 11, 2023

Resurrection and Mothers’ Day

We have eighteen days left in Eastertide (or the Great Fifty Days of Easter). We are still celebrating the joy of the Resurrection. The Paschal Candle remains lit when we worship as a reminder of the hope that carries us from darkness to light. If that spirit and gladness of the Resurrection have worn off, or you are anticipating a summer vacation to the mountains or the beach, don’t worry; you still have plenty of days to praise God for the victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ. Easter is still going strong!

This coming Sunday is Mothers’ Day. If you forgot, or maybe you overlooked it with the craziness that the end of the school and program year entails, don’t worry; you have a few days left to get a gift or card or maybe make a reservation for lunch on Sunday (after you come to worship, of course). We celebrate all women who have been mothers in some way, shape, or form throughout our lives. We honor the women who gave us life in many ways – physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Perhaps this Sunday is a way to commemorate the mother figures in our lives and remember the Resurrection, which gives us new life and beginnings.

In John’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed, “I am resurrection and life.” This statement is profound and encompasses not only the future and past but also the present. Our mothers were given to us by God to lead, protect, and, most importantly, love us. Our existence is due to both our mothers and the life, death, and Resurrection of Jesus. What better way to celebrate Easter than to lift the women who made a difference in our lives and did their best to direct and guide us through life? Some of the most critical women showed me what it meant to live a whole life, and I thank God for their roles and how they shaped my life.

However you recognize and celebrate our mothers this Sunday, let’s also praise God for motherhood and how it has changed and enriched our lives. Let’s boldly declare, “Alleluia! Christ is risen!” for the rest of these Great Fifty Days. And let’s not forget the presence of God, who is always making things new and giving us new life!

Rector’s Corner: The Holiest of Weeks

March 30, 2023

We are entering one of the busiest times of the church year: Holy Week. It is a time filled with multiple liturgies, schedules, and arrangements between the various ministry groups, worship times, and many bulletins (I say this as I finish another round of proofreading). The church will have a lot of activity as we prepare to welcome visitors, seekers, and guests. We will do our best to enter into the sacred space of Holy Week. But I want you to consider taking a little time for yourself in the presence of God.

A clergy colleague always says during the season of Advent, “Slow down, be quiet; it’s Advent.” Maybe we can apply this slogan to Holy Week and hear me out before you say, “That’s all well and good, Father Tim, but you know how insane this week can be?” When I invite you to take some time to yourself, it can be just about anywhere and anytime during Holy Week. You may find the time for silent meditation for a moment throughout one of the liturgies, especially during the Maundy Thursday and Good Friday liturgies, where there is intentional silence. You may find time on Holy Saturday as you prepare for the Easter celebrations. Perhaps you can find time to reflect on the last week of Jesus during a walk in the beautiful spring we are experiencing in Snellville. You could find time during an early morning in the week as you pray and offer yourself and your day to God with your first cup of coffee.

And you may find that the only time you get is during a drive to church or somewhere else. Regardless of where you find time for yourself, know that all our occasions with God are holy, sacred, and unique, and God is interested and wants to be with you and, hopefully, vice versa. However, as you enter and experience Holy Week this year, I hope you are intentional and open to the time God gives you and the wonder of this week’s liturgies.

May God be with us as we travel with Jesus to the cheering crowds of Jerusalem to the intimacy of Maundy Thursday, from the solemnity of Good Friday to the joyful proclamation of Jesus’ resurrection and victory over death at the Great Vigil of Easter and Easter Sunday. I pray that we all have a wonderful Holy Week and find God in some unexpected places during our journey with Jesus.

Holy Week Blessings!

Father Tim Meyers
Rector

Youth: New Beginnings Wrap Up

March 10, 2023

This past weekend we had several of our youth, our Youth Interns Jessie and Caroline, and Fr. Tim as the Spiritual Director attend New Beginnings. The weekend’s theme was Paved Way and the middle schoolers experienced spiritual formation through games, talks, music, and building their relationships with leaders and peers.

During the weekend the middle schoolers came out of their shells making new friends and discussing topics with peers that are tough to discuss with others. They had some amazing discussions about friends, parents sibling, God’s Love, and what the church means to them.

Our thanks to the adults and senior high youth who formed the team and accompanied the middle school on this retreat weekend.
