From the May Briefs

Presbyterian Polity (no, seriously...keep reading!)
Interim Pastor Heidi Husted Armstrong
How well do you know (or even care about!) Presbyterian polity – which means “the way we govern ourselves as a congregation?” I find the answer to that question often depends on a person’s church background or experience…

Introducing Our New Members
Linda Cutshall, Director of Congregational Life
& Adele Drummond, New Member Elder
Twice a year, “Bethany 101” is offered to provide information about our church, on being Presbyterian, and promoting discussion of faith questions and is also preparation for membership...

An Award-Winning Passion
Mary Cropp and Brian Beaumont
The phone rings and it is another publication asking Troop 72 Eagle Scout Alexander “Xander” Beaumont for a quote about receiving an American Red Cross Hero Award last week. The high school senior rolls his eyes, makes a deep sigh, and mutters a reluctant, “OK.” Though Xander states that he doesn’t feel like a hero, the American Red Cross begs to differ...

Phase Two: A Seismic Update
Mike Christensen
The seismic work in the Sanctuary and Bell Tower seem a distant memory now that we are back home in the Sanctuary, though the completion of PHASE ONE of the seismic work only came in March of this year, when we made the final payment to the Rafn Company. The first and largest phase of the project was completed successfully, on time and under budget...

Pastoral Nominating Committee Update
Kim Selby, PNC Member
The PNC has a new acronym: PIFF. Having reviewed over 130 PIFs by Easter, we have Personal Information Form Fatigue! Bethany has many highly qualified candidates, and we have a lot more work to do...

St Gertrude's Monastery Prayer Retreat & Poetry
May 17-20 Idaho
Lectio Divina (Rom.8:26)
Come Holy Spirit
sigh my heart’s desire.
Words are not enough
to shape the ache
or fuel the fire.

Still
The Spirit gently blows through
bending my will
with the yellow flowers
on the hill
Leaving the core of me
peaceful
still.

Faithfulness
Walking across the field
of God’s faithfulness
it’s hard to believe I ever doubted.
And yet, by his love and great mercy
He has brought me to this spacious place
where I can truly say
God delights in me.

poetry by Nancy Carlstrom
