The Burning Bush St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Kingston Autumn 2015 From the Minister’s Desk… During a service at the beginning of this new congregational year, we sang a metrical psalm of old, as is our custom week by week. What made this experience special, beyond the text (‘God’s law is perfect … and makes the simple wise’ – Psalm 19) and the tune (‘St. Andrew’), was the fact that our Director of Music led us in singing several verses unaccompanied. It was moving to be reminded of the beauty and strength of the human voice in the praise of God. It was the way of our Reformed tradition at its roots, and it was good to return to that beginning. And I realised that ‘beginnings’ could be the theme that describes much of this autumn for us as a congregation. The sermons are exploring the beginning offered by God at Mount Sinai through the ‘Ten Words’ for life of spirit and society. A monthly Thursday morning bible study is focusing on one of the letters of the beginning Church, Philippians. Our Tuesday evening studies will use the DVD resource ‘Animate’ to begin again with key foundations of the Christian faith. At Thanksgiving we will begin anew in gratitude and on Remembrance Sunday in prayers for peace. We will

celebrate new beginnings as we welcome new members, and as we consider our congregational calling over a series of after-service lunches. New beginnings are one of the greatest promises of the Christian faith, of the God known in Christ. And so I conclude with a poem by Eric Milner-White, that is a prayer to allow for a new beginning in me, in us, by the grace of God, the ONE BEGINNING. After I have journeyed through the years, through the month (not less at the end of each single day) let me return unto the ONE BEGINNING After I have read many books And sought wisdom by study; After much experience of joy And some of sorrow After long search for beauty Unsatisfied by the out ward eye: after exercising what authority has been entrusted to me after performing the humble duties in hand In all perplexity of mind, vexation of heart, weariness of spirit After failure and sin Make me return to the ONE BEGINNING That I may begin again.

Thoughts from the Editor… It was my one year anniversary of becoming the editor of The Burning Bush, and I was excited! I emailed the pastor’s office with great enthusiasm, and humbly inquired if, in honor of this great occasion, there might be a parade planned, perhaps with a marching band, fireworks? A special speaker? There was a great moment of electronic silence as I awaited a reply. And then the response came! Carefully I placed my finger on the email, took a deep breath, and gave it that double click. Well, not quite, the pastor replied. But he would be happy to dust off his school recorder and play me a tune. I broke down completely into tears, tears of course that came from laughter! This last year has definitely been a special one for me, a year marked with so many wonderful and profound experiences. But becoming the Burning Bush Editor has been for me a special gift from God. This ministry combines my joy in writing with the blessing of meeting so many people.

repeatedly from my own despairing demise. This is like giving birth, I said in more than one email (forgetting that he might not have followed this analogy in the same manner that I had), to which he replied in a nonplussed manner, Yes but joy comes in the morning! Why am I telling you all of this? The Fall months are upon us again, a month when vacationers have returned, committees regroup with fresh visions, and the choir blesses us again in the sanctuary. In short, as a congregation, it is a wonderful time of coming back together and moving forward in a refreshed and renewed manner. It is a time to personally examine the stewardship of our time as well as our resources. It is time for us all to search within ourselves, to review just what gifts God has given us and how we may serve others with them.

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. (1 Pet. 4:10 NRSV)

This ministry was for me such a wonderful fit, yet it did not come without its struggles. The extent of my experience using Microsoft Word was limited and it was the formatting of documents and pictures that threatened to unravel me.

And supposing you do dare step out and become involved in that new area of service, and you encounter some difficulties… you know, new people, new ideas, being outside that comfort zone into which we are prone to nestle. Yes, it can happen. Stay with it, I pray, because the pastor is quite correct.

Just ask our pastor. Yes, the same pastor who so graciously offered to play a tune for me on his recorder, was the same pastor that rescued me

Joy does come in the Morning! Ada Mallory, Editor

Theology Byte: What is Intercessory Prayer? Prayer opens up a stream of grace with its resultant strength, worth, love and peace that flows from the believing intercessor through God and into the life of the person or persons in need. In essence, when we offer a prayer of intercession, we pray ourselves into the center of God’s will as revealed to us in Jesus Christ. Intercessory prayer involves a sense of co-operation. As St. Augustine stated: “Without God, we cannot; with us, God will not.” God waits for our co-operation before His will is done in many situations. Sure, God wills wholeness and happiness for everyone; but we must accept our role in the healing of our own brokenness and that of others. This is often at great personal cost to us, and is done through a faith and a love that is demanding in its discipline. Jesus went to the cross. He did not choose the most convenient way to heal mankind- nor can we, if we are to be like Christ. Excerpt from Intercessory Prayer Guide, First Presbyterian Church, San Antonio

Gratitude! What a great afternoon on June 13, 2015! 67 pies that had been baked by members of the congregation were picked up here at St. Andrew’s, all in support of Syrians who have had to flee their homes and are struggling as they wait to be able to return home. A big thank you to all who contributed, and particularly to Martha VanAllen and Donna Delacretaz for their leadership!

GIVE THE APOSTLES MEDIA DEVICES & STAND BACK! A whimsical and technically updated presentation of an historical Biblical story…. It was a challenge: write a sermon you would really like to hear. I dislike being preached at in any format. Nevertheless, the topic stayed with me. Finally a text popped up - parts of Acts 10:38 in the King James translation: (“...Jesus of

Nazareth...went about doing good.")

‘There,’ I told myself. ‘I’d like to hear something about the simple fact that He ‘went.’ ’ This person named Jesus didn't cower inside, worrying about street violence. He went outside. Not jogging to get the going out over with quickly. (Although admittedly it isn't easy to jog in sandals). Not wearing headphones to block the cries of the street. Not so absorbed in his email that He might be trampled by a runaway camel. Not with fancy sunglasses to set Himself apart from the poor. He knew where the poor lived. They lived all around Him. When He went out, the gospels say, He walked, as though He had all the world's time, seeing everything with the eyes of a little child, the way they stop often to look around, pat dogs and cats, talk to every pair of feet coming towards them down the sidewalk. Those feet mostly belonged to the poor, walking slowly, bodies sick and sometimes minds too. Not an insignificant percentage of them were dying or even dead. Jesus took an enormous amount of time listening to them, making them well, raising them from the dead. He knew all their names and the names of their fathers and mothers and their children and even their dogs. "None of these are people who can help your career," his followers posted on the Facebook site they'd set up for Him. 'Let's get on with what you came to do."

"He needs better networking," another tweeted. "All this listening won't produce a decent soundbite for marketing Him as a highly-successful person." However the poor posted many, 'Likes,' with great enthusiasm. The formerly dead were particularly complimentary. One time Jesus looked up in a tree and saw a felon. "Come on down," Jesus called in a voice that centuries later, Bob Barker would fail to copy on TV. "Lunch is on you." "No, no,” His followers warned. "Someone might post a picture of You on Facebook, lunching together." Jesus was a great trial to His followers. They often complained about Him, texting one another on their smart phones. "When He teaches, it's always way out in the country where you can't get a good signal. Really impacts the buzz and it doesn’t do His media profile any favours, either," one of them groused. But then maybe that was just as well since He referenced things like sparrows, mustard seeds, lilies of the field and lost sheep. Nothing at all useful to a dynamic mover and shaker looking to clean up in the stock market. Another time He prepared a picnic lunch for a huge crowd without referencing any nutritional labeling or allergenic contents, let alone noting saturated and trans fats. The poor just kept coming. "Maybe they're part of a flash mob," a follower tweeted. "They do dress alike." "Yeah, in rags," another replied. “But with so many of them blind or on crutches or stretchers, the PR possibilities of a YouTube dance video are pretty well out." Finally they hit the big city where the real action was rumoured to be going on. “This is more like it,” His followers tweeted. He agreed to stop going about on foot like His precious poor and ride a donkey. "Now the right people

will start paying attention," one of His followers enthused. But Jesus talked to the Big Names in the religion biz just like anyone else, quoting scripture as though He'd written it Himself but it was mostly the 'woe unto you,' parts about hypocrites and white collar crime. Then He rearranged the furniture in their major place of worship and suggested they seek alternate career paths. So it didn't take long before He was arrested for impersonating royalty and having no fixed address. His followers went off to hold proactive strategy workshops.

Community Feast

But when they came back, Jesus was dead. Though He was less dead than anyone else who had ever died before or since. His follower, John, in the last verse of his gospel, wrote: "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written." This is one of them.

The Presbyterian College NEWSLETTER In celebration of our 150th Anniversary the Presbyterian College will host an historic book launch on October 31st STILL VOICES – STILL HEARD is a book with an engaging difference. Each of its 13 chapters tells the story of one person - some graduates and some not who played a major role in society, in the church and in the life of the College. Its unique format moves from a brief biography, to a sermon or address by that person, to a concluding comment by the author on the contribution made by the one who is the subject of the chapter. It is very accessible and it makes for fascinating reading. In this book you will find fodder for discussion on one of today’s church debates over solutions to the decline of our churches. In the late 1800’s MacVicar wrote: “The Church may temporarily sink into a state of spiritual decline and vainly imagine that what is needed to right the wrongs of humanity is novelty, departure from old paths, improvement in externalities, more machinery, and not the quickening power of the truth and Spirit of God. This is lamentable and utter folly.” Hmmmm! Anything here to ponder for our contemporary situation?

The Presbyterians highlighted in this book are not confined to famous movers and shakers like Sir William Dawson, “the man who made McGill”, and Principal Donald MacVicar, “the man who made Presbyterian College”. We are also introduced to women like Jane Drummond Redpath, about whom very little has been written but who, despite labouring in the shadow of her famous husband, John Redpath, made extraordinary contributions to Montreal’s Protestant culture, to French-speaking ministries, to women’s rights and education, and to the work of Presbyterian College. She was the founding President of the Presbyterian Ladies’ French Evangelization Society of Montreal, which later evolved into the W.M.S.

Jane Redpath also served as President of the Montreal Ladies’ Educational Association established in 1871 by McGill Principal William Dawson. Her leadership persuaded the McGill authorities to break their “Men Only” rule, and in 1885 women were admitted to McGill University for the first time. With her husband John Redpath, she hosted that famous “little meeting” in January, 1864, which included William Dawson and Donald MacVicar, and which led to the founding of a Presbyterian Seminary in Montreal. Her home was therefore the birthplace of The Presbyterian College. The College always remained close to her heart, and she supported its work with scholarships and bursaries, throughout her life. Those familiar with Montreal will be interested to know that Drummond Street was named for Jane Drummond Redpath, a testimony to the esteem in which she was held both by her husband and by city authorities. www.presbyteriancollege.ca/[email protected]

Various Ways of Association with St. Andrew’s Church Kingston Just spelling ‘presbyterian’ is difficult – even more so, perhaps, the peculiar ways of this particular branch of the Church of Christ. Acknowledging this, the Elders of St. Andrew’s thought it might be a good idea to provide a summary of ways of association … The fullest participation one can enjoy within this congregation is as a ‘member’. But it is important to recognize that there are various options available that can be considered as part of a journey towards St. Andrew’s becoming your church home.

Friends of St. Andrew’s: A ‘friend’ is one who desires for the time being only an informal relationship with the congregation. A friend is of course welcome to participate fully in the worship, study and service opportunities of St. Andrew’s, and can request receiving the monthly congregational newsletter by post or email (speak to any Elder, or the Church Office directly, [email protected]).

Adherents of St. Andrew’s: An adherent is one who has decided to participate in the life of the congregation with commitment. There are of course many ways of living such commitment, but becoming an adherent is usually activated when one requests a box of weekly offering envelopes or a subscription to the PreAuthorized Remittance plan of the congregation. (Such requests are made through our congregational bookkeeper, Ann McLean [email protected], MondayWednesday 1-4 p.m. 613-546-6316. It is important to note that all offerings and gifts are kept in strict confidence by the bookkeeper alone, and PAR plans can be adjusted due to personal circumstances at any time.) An adherent can participate fully and vote in all formal meetings of the congregation, except those that involve the calling of a minister, the election of elders or trustees and the disposal of congregational assets. Each adherent will be assigned an elder who will extend fellowship and care in the name of Christ, and will be added to the congregational directory and Roll.

Members of St. Andrew’s: When we feel that St. Andrew’s is a community that is appropriate for our growth in Christian faith, study and service, we are encouraged to become members of the congregation. This is a step that is motivated little by external benefit or status and more by internal motivation. Becoming a member is a public commitment to praise and serve God together. Those who become members speak about how this commitment both extends and deepens Christian faith and engagement. To become a member, you can speak to any Elder or the Minister at any time. At St. Andrew’s we usually receive new members as a group, twice a year. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… What’s the difference between PWS&D (Presbyterian World Service and Development) and Presbyterians Sharing? Funding for PWS&D comes directly from Presbyterian congregations and individuals across Canada. Your gifts allow PWS&D to seek additional funding from government services, as well as through membership in organizations such as Canadian Foodgrains Bank and Canadian Churches in Action. Presbyterians Sharing is the name of the fund that supports the national programs and ministries of the PCC. PWS&D does not receive funds from donations to Presbyterians Sharing. However, support from Presbyterians Sharing ensure PWS&D is able to keep administrative costs to a minimum and maximize overseas program funding. www.presbyterianchurchofcanada.ca/WeRespond.ca

The Lighter Side of Saints A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child’s work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, “I’m drawing God.” The teacher paused and said, “But no one knows what God looks like.” Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, “They will in a minute.”

A teenage boy has just passed his driving test and asks his father when they could discuss the use of the car? His father says he’ll make a deal: “You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut. Then we’ll talk about the car.” Done! After about six weeks, his father says: “Son, you’ve brought your grades up and I’ve observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I’m disappointed you haven’t had your hair cut.” The boy says, “You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about that, and I’ve noticed in my studies that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and there’s even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.” “Yes,” replies his father. “But did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?” That was a great sermon today — on patience,” one friend commented to another as they walked to their cars after church. “Yeah,” the other agreed, “but it was 5 minutes too long.”

To rile up his Christian friends, the atheist in the high school class was always looking for scientific speculation that would throw doubt on God or the Bible. Scouring the Internet he discovered research from a student at an obscure university who hypothesized that due to weather and wind patterns, the Red Sea was less than a foot deep when Moses led the Hebrews across it. “It wasn’t even up to their knees,” the atheist sneered. One of the Christian friends exclaimed, “It’s a miracle!” “What miracle?” the atheist asked. “Anybody could have waded across it!” The Christian grinned. “Simple. God drowned Pharaoh’s entire army in less than a foot of water!”

Response to the Syrian Crisis The photo of a three-year-old boy washed up on a beach awakened the world to plight of Syrian refugees that has been building for the past four years. With no end in sight, there are now more than four million registered Syrian refugees—over half of these refugees are children and most of them remain in the Middle East. The Presbyterian Church in Canada continues to respond to the crisis by sending relief, equipping Christian partners in the Middle East, supporting congregations sponsoring refugees to come to Canada, and advocating for government action. Presbyterian World Service & Development (PWS&D) continues to provide food, shelter, clothing and psychosocial, medical and educational support to refugees and internally displaced people in Syria, Lebanon and Jordan through the ACT Alliance and Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB). Since 2013, PWS&D has contributed over $345,000—which became over $1,025,000 with government matching grants through CFGB—towards refugees and internally displaced

people around the world. Two-thirds of this was specifically for people displaced by the Syrian conflict. International Ministries partners in the Middle East are training leaders and responding to needs overwhelming the surrounding countries. The Near East School of Theology (NEST) in Lebanon is training Christian leaders from Iraq, Iran and Syria. The Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees is assisting Syrians refugees in Lebanon and Jordan and Palestinian refugees who were in Syria and have had to flee. Sylvia Haddad, Director of the Joint Christian Council (Lebanon) of the DSPR says “I really feel that we have to help people remain in this country and not emigrate, exposing their lives to the danger of boats and sinking.”

Prayer for Refugees…. God of life and freedom. When Abraham’s family wandered, when Moses took refuge in the desert, when the Hebrew people fled into the wilderness, when the Israelites lived in exile, you called them, and gave them words of comfort and promises of hope. In Christ you crossed the border. You put on frail flesh, were born and lived your life always on the move in a dangerous world. From your first night you slept in a bed and a place that was not your own. You and your family fled terror and found refuge in foreign lands. You were always the guest in the homes and tables of strangers. You were not always sure of your next meal. This day/night we remember before you those whose lives are more like yours than we can imagine or care to acknowledge: those who are without homes, who have been uprooted from their communities and countries, who have had to flee for their lives, who have left families and friends, who live precarious lives. We pray for your protection and care for those who

suffer and must take refuge because of war, politics, natural disaster, status, race, gender, sexuality, and faith. We mourn, we are moved, and we are angered by the loss that marks the lives of so many: the loss of dignity, of respect, of security, of community, of family, and of stability. You have called us to be citizens of your kingdom. We pray for the people of this country and of the church, that we may not be indifferent or naïve, afraid or overwhelmed, discouraged or blind to hope and options to help or silent in the call for justice. Open our hearts and our doors to the stranger, to the widow and the orphan and all that are dear to you, to your presence that we may encounter in the foreigner, and strengthen us to witness to the love of God for all people. Amen www.presbyterianchurchofcanada.ca

Christian Journey Series… Ralph was born in Winnipeg during the depression. At the time of his birth-in mid-November- his father was atop the YMCA building, installing an antenna, to pay the doctor’s bill.

he was examined for ordination by the Presbytery of Ottawa. The examination committee was chaired by the Rev. Dr. John Johnston, the father of St. Andrew’s pastor, Rev. Dr. Andrew Johnston.

The nearest church was St. James Presbyterian. Ralph and his sister Patricia attended Sunday School there. As time went by, they became more and more involved, teaching Sunday School, and starting a Young People’s Society. The minister at St. James, and the minister in Presbytery who worked with the young people were both ready to answer questions, and Ralph and his sister had many.

Frederick Ralph Kendall had now fully accepted God’s call in fact and spirit, and was an ordained minister. With his new bride, Sheila, and filled with enthusiasm and zeal, he accepted his first pastorate in Penticton, British Columbia. This was followed by a pastorate In Montreal a few years later.

Career aspirations at this point in his life included rather diverse and seemingly unconnected professions, and included becoming a teacher, an accountant or an engineer. The French language had a special appeal to him. Ralph’s inner spiritual life matured quietly but steadily throughout his involvement in St. James’ youth group and personal Bible study. ‘The gracious calling of the Lord’ was beginning to tug at his heart during this time. But in sharing this with his pastor, he was advised ‘not to go into the ministry until you have to…”, and then to have his call tested by unsolicited confirmation. He was, however, still young and much education awaited him. Following high school, Ralph attended for two years the University of Winnipeg. He then received a Bachelor of Arts (French and Philosophy) from Carleton University. Now living in Ottawa, he was examined by the Session of his home church and the Presbytery of Ottawa and certified as a candidate for ministry. It was expected that students for the ministry would take summer mission fields. As Ralph loved trains, he requested appointments all over the country. He had summer churches in Kimberly, B.C., Buckhorn, Ontario, a native reserve in Manitoba, a French congregation in Quebec and two churches in the B.C. lower mainland. Upon graduation from the Presbyterian College in Montreal,

In 1967, his life took a somewhat different turn when he was asked to establish a new Presbyterian congregation in Bramalea, Ontario. “I always enjoyed the excitement of organizing a new congregation. People are enthusiastic and willing to work”, he comments in regards to this change in his life. Five years later, Ralph, Sheila, and their four young children, moved west once more to Edmonton where he was asked to be minister of a young congregation with a challenging building program. The added stress involved with the construction of the church, bureaucratic delays, and supporting the congregation, eventually took a physical and spiritual toll on Ralph. For the next two and a half years, Ralph stepped aside from the ministry, and worked for his father’s company in Ottawa, as manager of TemproTech. Ralph learned much about management and accounting that was going to be helpful further down the road. But he still felt called to the ministry. After much thought and prayer, he finally agreed to be the organizing minster of a new congregation in Kanata-Trinity Presbyterian Church. In 1983, Ralph moved his family yet again, this time to Toronto, to accept the position of Associate Secretary for New Church Development and French work with the Board of World Missions. Ralph could now provide valuable insight and assistance to others establishing new congregations and building new churches.

In 1987, he became General Manager of the Presbyterian Church Building Corporation. In the years that followed, he was able to work with over 200 congregational building programs. He wrote a book providing guidelines and insight into the building of a new church, aptly called “When You Build”. He was granted an honorary doctorate by the Presbyterian College in Montreal in recognition of this accomplishment, making him officially Rev. Dr. Ralph Kendall.

Rev. Dr. Ralph Kendall

During his 42 years in the ministry, Ralph, like all ministers, developed a style of his own in sermon presentation. Not inclined to use personal illustrations, he frequently made use of humor through meaningful and understandable anecdotal illustrations. He was a man who chose his words carefully when speaking and used no

more than what was necessary.

“Dear Lord and Father of Mankind”, a beautiful and much loved hymn written by John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-92) has long been a favorite of Ralph’s, and reflects Ralph’s quiet and steadfast relationship with God.

An especially meaningful passage of scripture for Ralph is found in Mark Chapter 9. These verses speak about a man who approached Jesus hoping, in spite of personal doubts, that his beloved son would be healed from seizures that had plagued him from childhood. Ralph enlarges on this story: “He was concerned about his sick son, and thought Jesus could heal him. Jesus assured him that anything was possible for those who believed. The man, knowing how badly he wanted his son healed, answered honestly ‘I believe’. Then a doubt surfaced, and he added, ‘Help my unbelief’. I admired his honesty- he wasn’t sure of his belief- was there something more that he needed? Jesus accepted him as he was- a mixture of belief and unbelief- and he healed his son. A story of grace.” Ralph Kendall has always believed in God’s unending love and grace for those who seek him. He has a personal philosophy that involves an intense loyalty to his faith, his family, to those who now minister to him. Loyalty and personal support and all generously sprinkled with a quiet humor. He has successfully lived a life that incorporated all of his original and seemingly incongruous career choices- teacher, accountant, engineer, even the French language. And all complemented by his response to that first whisper of God’s call for his life.

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind In simple trust like theirs who heard, Beside the Syrian Sea The gracious calling of the Lord, Let us, like them, without a word Rise up and follow thee.

Rev. Dr. Ralph Kendall retired from full time ministry in 2000. Sheila, with whom he was married for over 40 years and with whom he had four children, Stephen, Jennifer, Marilyn and Douglas, passed away after a lengthy illness in 2004. Remarried to Wendy Worling, they both now contribute greatly to our congregation here at St. Andrew’s by their presence, their church involvements, their caring and supportive spirits and yes, by their delightful humor.

In a small Ontario town, a little girl with pigtails sat on the steps of her veranda. She had been told to sit there until her grandma returned. It certainly seemed like a very long time. Gram had gone “uptown” because she got a phone call that morning—a very mysterious phone call and it upset her. After a long wait, the little girl noticed a car coming up the street and in the back seat she could just see a tiny scrap of her mother’s dress. That was strange because her mother was the assistant manager at the bank and she was never home in the daytime.

was on a secret and very important mission. Wherever he was, it was very hard for her to be the only girl in her class without a father. How she wished that she, too could have a father.

All the people who filed out of the car came past her, up the steps and into the house. Some of them patted her head and she heard one of them whisper, “Poor kid!” That night her grandma told her that her Daddy had died in France, far away, fighting in a war-whatever that was!

So the search for a father ended with her entrance into her heavenly Father`s family. When November 11th comes around each year, she remembers that earthly father, Ted Bacon, killed near the city of Caen in France during July, 1944. But she also remembers the mysterious ways of her heavenly Father who worked ``all things together for good`` and brought her into a forever family.

Finally, when she was nine, her mother sent her to summer camp (Ontario Pioneer) to get her away for a while in the summer. She loved it! One night as the girls sat around the campfire, the leader who was telling a story, said something that made her sit up. She said, “God, your heavenly Father, sent his Son to earth to die for you. If you believe that, He will make you part of His family. Would you like to belong to God’s family? Oh, would she ever! Then she would have a father!

Hospital visit inspires donation By Sebastian Leck The Whig-Standard Friday, August 7, 2015

Don Hay has pledged to donate $10,000 a year for five years to help the Kingston General Hospital purchase a second MRI machine. the physics of an MRI machine are difficult to understand, it could save a life. The MRI unit itself will cost around $2.5 million, according to director of imaging services Karen Pearson, but construction for a room to store the machine will cost anywhere between $3 million and $3.4 million.

It took one visit to Kingston General Hospital to convince Don Hay the hospital was in great need of a new MRI machine. He’s one of approximately 500 donors who donated money to the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation’s campaign for a second MRI machine, which will cost the hospital around $6 million. On Friday, Hay announced he’s giving $10,000 a year for five years to the project, for a total of $50,000. Hay said an earlier visit to KGH inspired him to donate. During his tour of the MRI clinic, he learned that waiting lists for the machine had grown due to increasing demand. “They’ve got lots of experienced staff that know how to read the results from the machinery and use the MRI, but they don’t have a second one to help alleviate the problem,” he said in his announcement. In a show of gratitude, the hospital will name a procedure room in the Cancer Centre after Hay for 10 years. Hay has also given a bequest in his will to all of the hospitals in Kingston. After his announcement, Hay said he became interested in supporting hospitals after his father was diagnosed with dementia. Since then, he’s learned that although

The machine requires a reinforced floor to support its weight and special materials in the room’s walls to both shield it from external radio noise and prevent it from interfering with electronic devices outside the clinic. Ian Wilson, the chair of the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation, spoke at the event to thank Hay. “The MRIs are incredibly important to our whole region… we serve Kingston, but we also serve an area from Brighton to Cardinal and up north to include Perth and Smith Falls,” he said. Brenda Carter, regional vice-president of the Cancer Care Program for South East Regional Cancer Program and KGH vice-president of diagnostic imaging, said an MRI machine is vital for rapidly diagnosing and treating patients. Although there are two other MRI machines at the private Kingston MRI clinic, those machines service an outpatient population. The KGH machine, meanwhile, provides services to an inpatient population requiring more complex work. Carter said the MRI machine is vital for certain patients, including patients with neurological conditions, cancer patients and premature infants. Demand has increased year after year, as have the number of valid reasons for using MRI scans. www.thewhig.com/healthcare

Received from the ‘greater Christian community’……

The Glory of God I recently finished one of my 'reads through the Bible'. Before starting I normally ask God to show me a theme or concept as I read through scripture. This time I asked Him to show me something about His glory, but as I read, the recurring theme was clearly showing His 'holiness'.



I was puzzled. It was almost as if He was saying "you are not ready to see my glory until you understand something about my holiness”. Chapter after chapter, book after book, His Holiness was a clear theme. It was not until I was going through the pastoral epistles and Revelation, that I started to see the following relationship:  God is holy. His holiness is unique, complete, self sufficient, and perfect. It is absolute and the foundation of His character. It demands that we worship Him.  Linked to that holiness is His righteousness. All of His plans and actions are 'right'. His righteousness, as we understand and relate to it, encourages us to worship Him.  Linked to His righteousness is His justice. Righteousness and sin are opposites that cannot co-exist. God must deal with sin justly according to his righteousness. In the process,



He will also treat all people justly. For those of us who have been called into His family, this justice, invites us to worship Him Linked to His justice, and powered by His love, we see His grace and mercy. Sending His Son to die in our place and accepting that perfect sacrifice on our behalf is the ultimate demonstration of these three characteristics of our heavenly Father. Grace and mercy combined in love enable us to worship Him. The glory of God is the combined sum of all of His attributes. Beginning with holiness and adding the other characteristics, layer on layer, we get a clearer glimpse of God's glory. This glory, as we respond to it, gathers us to worship Him.

In the book of Exodus Moses asks God if he can see His glory. Although God tells him that he cannot see His face, He does show him His Name and a number of his characteristics. The Bible tells us that Moses' response was to "make haste, bow his head and worship.” I trust that any who will read this will be encouraged to delve deeply into the Word of God, seek to know Him and in response, bow down in worship.

2015 St. Andrew’s Summer Tour Guide Report By Annie Dilworth and Chloe Grande Our goal was to set the tour guide programme on the right path for future years to come. Here are some of the tasks we accomplished: • Organized tourism documents from previous years • Researched and wrote a new cultural interpreter script • Created new guestbook pages, name tags, signs and other materials used when open for tours • Wrote information for historical banners to be used in future seasons • Researched at Queen’s Archives and the RMC library for photos to be used in historical banners and for tours • Created numerous brochures for this summer and future seasons (including a general visitor pamphlet, a self-guided tour brochure and one outlining Queen’s connections) • Created an in-depth manual for next year’s guides • Created social media platforms to interact with and remain connected with the Kingston community (including a Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram accounts) • Created a detailed social media strategy for August (also to be used for other months and/or future seasons) • Created a poster-board for the Queen’s Sidewalk sale and other events that highlights St. Andrew’s historical connection with Queen’s University By the end of the summer we had approximately 1,000 visitors. We collected almost $200 in donations. Our numbers dropped significantly around the end of July when heavy construction work began outside of the church. We noticed that fewer visitors came in but there were still the same amount of street people around. We were also closed for tours Tuesday-Thursdays in August for administrative work (we opened Friday afternoons and all-day Saturday). Most of our visitors were from the Kingston area, but we did have some from other provinces (mainly Quebec), Europe and the United States. Visitor Feedback Most visitors left positive feedback and commented that the sanctuary was very beautiful. We collected 32 feedback surveys and 90 people signed the guest book. Visitors noted that the tours were very informative and interesting. A lot of people said that they had lived in Kingston all their lives but never stepped inside the church. Some people commented about the street people outside and said it would be more inviting without their presence. Others were impressed by the church’s hospitality towards the street people. We would like to thanks St. Andrew’s congregation for this wonderful opportunity we have had in serving as their summer tour guides. Special thanks goes to our dedicated volunteers James Muth, Holly Turnbull and Wendy Worling for offering their time. We are grateful for the support of church members and Reverend Andrew who made us feel welcome at St. Andrew’s. Our supervisors Andy Mills and Eva Barnes went above and beyond their duties to make the 2015 summer programme a success. We truly appreciate their dedication. Thanks to everyone at St. Andrew’s for making our Cultural Interpreter experience so enjoyable!

When Is An Accident ‘No Accident’? Generally, we are inclined to view accidents as unfortunate incidents involving trouble and danger, and by happenstance. But is it possible that an unforeseen event may initiate a sequence of actions over time that proved to be beneficial, and perhaps accompanied by blessings? The year is probably around 1905. A young farmer is walking on a beam that is fourteen feet above the plank floor of a barn used to store hay. Struggling to maintain his balance, he falls and on his way down breaks this fall by desperately seizing a stout hemp rope suspended from the hay lift track. His grasp on the rope cannot be controlled and he suffers burning abrasion and torn skin from his hands. Antibiotics have not yet been discovered. The farmer’s wounds become infected, the poison eventually raging throughout his whole body. Through a haze of pain, he is startled to hear the doctor say, “I am afraid that Fred is not going to make it.” Realizing that he was not ready to meet God, he reached out to the Bible on the night table and began to read. The Bible had opened to the first chapter of John’s Gospel, verse twelve standing out boldly, ‘Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—‘ Was it then an accident that had brought Fred to this place where he was able to receive God into his life? Certainly we can see that the accident had brought him to this place…

But the gifts that flowed from God’s grace through this accident were indeed miraculous! Fred was not only given the gift of being able to believe, but given the gift of physical healing, thus enabling him to become the head of a family who loved Christ. Fred was widowed by the death of his young wife Ida, aged 24, as she and her baby succumbed during childbirth. At the Plains Baptist Church where Fred was serving as treasurer, he eventually met Isabella McCurdy Baird, a young Irish immigrant woman, through another congregational family who had retained her to care for their children. Fred and Isabella fell in love with each other and their love was solemnized in marriage. Together they in time had four children, one of whom was me. Proverbs 31 states “her children rise up and call her blessed…” and we certainly honor our mother in this manner to this day. “Children are a gift from the Lord. They are a reward from Him.” (Psalm 127) reflects how we were regarded by her. This mother, in addition to the arduous work done in our home, the fields, the barn, still managed to teach Sunday School. Her grandchildren have become believers and maintain a Christian witness to this day. And what a Christian heritage we now enjoy! All begun by an accident, an accident which of course was no accident…

The Mess Open Arts Studio

The Mess in Gill Hall is even messier, but it’s all good! More and more folks are enjoying the warm, friendly atmosphere and creative spirit that the Mess provides, so hours have been extended to Wednesdays as well as Tuesdays and Thursdays. Some fifty to sixty people now attend during the week to sketch and paint, enjoy lunch together and meet and make friends. In an agreement with Christian Horizons, the Mess has extended their services to include CH clients along with some of their workers. A new art medium is being offered—pottery. Using moulding and hand building, clay is transformed in the sessions and then taken off-site to be fired. It may be messy, but it’s fulfilling its goal of building community through the creative arts. Submitted by Phyllis Ann and Derek McCormick

Infant Baptism “Both believers and their children are included in God’s covenant love. Baptism, whether administered to those who profess their faith or to those presented for Baptism as children, is one and the same Sacrament. The Baptism of children witnesses to the truth that God’s love claims people before they are able to respond in faith” (Book of Form)

submitted by Dennis Clark ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOE BOXES The time of year for filling shoe boxes with small toys and gifts for children around the world has come again. The shoe boxes, part of the ministry of Samaritan’s Purse, will be available in early October and can be picked up after each service. In such a small way, we can share in the spreading of the gospel and demonstrate Christ’s love to children who are often the victims of war, poverty, disease and natural disasters. Last year, Kingston sent almost 5000 giftfilled boxes – 5000 symbols of love and care. Instructions for filling the boxes come with each box and participants can choose the age and sex of the recipient. If you can help, please consider taking home a box or even more, and over the course of a few weeks gather pens, pencils, stickers, rulers, small toys

and balls and any other things that might warm the hearts of youngsters who have so little. This is a good project for parents to do with their children and for grandparents to do with grandchildren. Most kids have great ideas for what is appealing and interesting and in the process, they are learning the joy of giving to others. Please consider sharing in Operation Christmas Child this year. If you are unable to fill a shoebox, please be involved by keeping this ministry in prayer. Last year, Canada sent over 700,000 shoe boxes to more than 120 countries. What powerful gospel opportunities!

More Upcoming Events at St. Andrew’s… Sanctuary Renovations At an information session after the service on September 27, Peter Trudeau detailed findings of preliminary studies concerning needed repairs to the sanctuary. The major item is the fact that asbestos has been sprayed on the ceiling decades ago, and there will be a need to have it removed at a cost of $175,000. This involves over $126,000 of scaffolding. If the scaffolding is erected, then it would allow for the leaded glass in the cupola to be removed and restored, the ceiling and walls to be painted, and the lighting to be renewed. Initial estimates for this work total over $600,000. We are grateful for our heritage as a congregation, we are grateful for our growth in worship and in witness. Now we need to discuss a way forward as a congregation. Is this building still a helpful part of our ministry in Christ? Three congregational luncheon discussions will be held after service on Sundays October 4, November 1, November 29. And a formal congregational meeting will be held after the service on Sunday December 13. Your perspectives are needed!

St. Andrew’s Autumn Study Series… Join the Minister Tuesday evenings, St. Andrew’s Hall October 27 – December 1, 2015 7 - 8:30 p.m. The results are in! A great response and by a very slim majority, you have selected the DVD series … A new generation of pastors and theologians explore foundational Christian themes in ways that spark discussion: God (Faith is a Quest), Religion (Spirituality is Not Enough), Jesus (The Revolution of Love), Salvation (Abundant Life now), Cross (Where God is), Bible (A Book Like No Other), Church (An Imperfect Family)

Our ‘Invisible Congregation…Congregation’….

Ada McEwen

Gerald Moraal

Muriel Derrick

95 years old now and living at Rosewood Retirement Home. Originally from Prince Edward Island, she attended St. Andrew’s for 65 years and has many happy memories of fellowship during her years here with us.

Gerald, 90 years old, speaks fondly of his years at St. Andrew’s when Rev. Max Putnam was still the pastor. He has been at Rosewood Retirement Home for a few months only and is still making adjustments to his new environment.

Residing at the Kingsdale Chateau, Muriel now struggles with the effects of advancing age. But for many years, Muriel worked as a psychologist for Queen’s University. At St. Andrew’s, she taught Sunday School and sang in the choir.

Not so invisible anymore, (Bill, left photograph), has resumed attending St. Andrew’s. Born in 1920, Bill has attended our church since 1947. A former elder, presbytery representative and Sunday School teacher, he worked as a mechanical engineer at Dupont. He also did extensive work on our church tower and clock. Bill is surprised at his age himself and has retained not only his good sense of humor about life but also his steadfast love for God. He now resides at Kingsdale Chateau Retirement Home.

Bill Bentley

It has been said that old age is not for the faint of heart. All of these wonderful people are members of our congregation at St. Andrew’s. With the exception of Bill Bentley, they are no longer able to physically attend our services here. Memories of their years with us abide within them still and we would do well to keep these folks in our thoughts and prayers. And if you would really like to feel deeply blessed yourself, visit them personally. For by lighting up their lives, you will certainly light up your own!

The Poets’ Corner Little Bit of God There is a little bit of God in everything I see. I see Him in the bright colored petals of every garden flower. I see Him the lush green grass and the splendor of the meadows. I see Him in the dark green leaves of the stalwart forest trees. I see Him in the puffy clouds and the bright blue azure skies. There is a little bit of God in everything I hear. I hear Him in the crashing roar of the waves along the beach. I hear Him in the tumult of the thunder in the storm. I hear Him in the wind as the leaves gently flutter. I hear Him in the singing of the cricket on a sweltering summer’s day. There is a little bit of God in everything I smell. I smell Him in the clean crisp air of an early autumn day. I smell Him in the salt spray vapors as I walk an ocean beach. I smell Him in the biting air of a frosty winter morning. I smell Him in the baking of a homemade loaf of bread. There is a little bit of God in everything I taste. I taste Him in the juices of a garden fresh tomato. I taste Him in the buttered flavor in the kernels of autumn corn. I taste Him in the sugars of a ripened lush green grape. I taste Him in the flour of a freshly buttered roll. There is a little bit of God in everything I touch. I feel Him in the summer breeze as it kindly cools my skin. I feel Him in the water as I gulp an icy mouthful. I feel Him in the softness of a baby’s velvet skin. I feel Him in the fur of a rabbit’s satin coat. There is a little bit of God in everyone I know. I see Him in their warm, sweet smile. I hear Him in their gentle voice. I smell Him in the scent of their perfumes. I taste Him with them as we sip a cup of tea. I feel Him through emotions as they listen and encourage. There is a little bit of God no matter where I turn. The Universe is just too great for anyone to mock and spurn. T’is truly wonderful to catch a glimpse of Him in our quest to learn!

Forgotten The world can barely grasp the beauty of a man who tries to see, To pass beyond the darkness to the Truth that sets us free. I saw his greatness captured in the fragment of a flame And tried to hold that moment: --it did not come again. Why are the greatest gifts we have hidden deep within our souls: The fragile dreams, compassion, --forgotten for our goals?

The Dock: Thoughts of the Lake I smile at life’s troubles So far from this dock. My life in small ripples As I throw with a rock. She’s really just wooden. She floats on her breath. With my toes in the water And the sunshine above. She’s damp in the morning. She’s cool from the night. And God with the dawning, The gift of His light. I smile just to watch it. I smile just to feel With my toes in the water And the sunshine above. She’s warm in the daylight. She rides low on the waves. And I ponder my thoughts. From my tension she saves. The fish are beneath her, Cool shadows they love With my toes in the water And the sunshine above. She fades in the darkness. Stars illumine the sky And vaguely I wonder How blessed am I. God’s hand all around me, The dock at my feet. With my toes in the water And the moonshine beneath.
