Pentecost 1998
Dear Friends,
One main objective of the interim period between clergy leaders is
to come to grips with the identity of the congregation so it can
portray itself accurately in the search process. Another main
objective is for the congregation and the priest to understand how
each conceives of the ministry to which the new rector will be
called. Regarding the first, we have talked before about the identity
of this congregation: you recognize yourselves to have strengths in
fellowship and worship, and the need to have a greater outreach to
newcomers. Today, however, I wish to ruminate on the matter of how we
understand the ministry of the priest and people.
We can say at least three things about the priest you will call: He
or she will be called according to a universal agreement on the part
of the Church that the priest will be A) a theologian, B) the
presider at worship, or the President of the Eucharistic Assembly,
and C) as the manager of the parish. Let us meditate on the first
role, that of theologian.
In the role of theologian, the rector is the one (although others,
laypeople, may share this gift) to compare the life of the
congregation with the Life portrayed in the Gospel. He or she is
responsible for guarding the doctrine of the Church. He or she will
seek to engage parishioners, through study and discussion, in the
question; Are we on the right track here, are our priorities
straight, are we embodying the mission and ministry of Jesus?”
The person you call should show a grasp of the Gospel story to the
extent that he or she can ask these questions.
This person needs to be intellectually prepared to fill this role. He
or she should be, with several others, at least one step ahead of the
pack. He will be called to encourage others, as the leadership core,
to move out ahead, holding up a prayerful vision of what this
congregation might be able to do for God and His Kingdom.
In Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (hardly the definitive
work on the nature of Ministry, but useful in comparison), the author
states that in undertaking a venture we will have success if we start
with the end in mind. This is not a habit, or an approach, shared by
all. Members of a congregation may think that such an approach is
“head in the clouds” kind of thinking, and will want to
“play it safe;” they may not want to take risks with
resources of time, talent and treasure. You will purposefully
be calling a person to make you uncomfortable and challenged.
The rector as theologian will also be called to interpret our
experiences: Where was God when my child died? Am I really forgiven?
Can I make a new start? Does God have confidence in me? He or she
will need to be able to say “The question is not whether God is
in heaven, it’s ‘Is God here with us on earth?’”
in response to our own theological musings. This role of theologian
is one of three mentioned above. In future newsletters we will
consider the others.
The Rev Gary K. Sturni
A Resolution
The Vestry of All Saints recognizes that the mission imperative of
the church is to obey the Lord’s command, “Go, therefore,
and baptize all nations in The Name...” We rededicate ourselves
to the study and implementation of plans to make our church proactive
and creative in seeking out new members and welcoming and
incorporating those who visit our services. We pledge ourselves to
recruit a new member committee and support that committee and its
important work. We commit ourselves and encourage the congregation to
hold a special meeting to address these issues.
The Interim, a Time to Step Forward
The memorial service for Marie Hayes engendered so many feelings and
thoughts. After all, she is the one from whom I took the baton to
become Senior Warden and we had worked on so many things toget her
during the past few years. All who knew her admired her remarkable
courage and those of us who worked closely with her also admired her
high level of dedication to the parish.
A parish in an interim period needs this kind of dedication from its
members. There always is so much to be done, more than those
currently volunteering can do. An interim is a time when you hope
present members will continue attending and financially supporting
the life of the parish.
But it is a time when, understandably, not as many new people join us
as when a Rector is in place and known. This means that those who
love our parish and want it to continue to succeed must do a little
more.
The interim period is proceeding pretty much on schedule. The Search
Committee is at the stage it expected to be, although the call of a
new priest is still months away. The parish is operating pretty well;
there are not many serious problems. But we always need more
volunteers than we have.
Whether it is to teach or otherwise help with Sunday school, to help
with the building and grounds, to host coffee hour, to sing in the
choir, to serve on Altar Guild or during our worship, to work in the
office — the list can go on and on — we need for you to
step forward. And it is not a one-way street; people who volunteer
are happy to be sharing their gifts — even if they grumble a
bit.
I hear it said that, sometimes, people who want to volunteer simply
don’t know how to get started; they don’t know who to
contact about it. Well, I am here volunteering to help. If you want
to volunteer to do something, if you will call me or call the office,
we will put you in contact with the right person. We need you now,
more than ever.

Stewardship Report
The paying of pledges to All Saints often lags in the summer because
people are not able to attend church as regularly as during the rest
of the year. This year is no different. When we last checked, some
25% of our pledges were behind by enough to call it significant. We
assume that all pledges will be paid (except for those of members who
are no longer with us in Cincinnati). But it is important that those
who are behind catch up as soon as possible. As we move to the last
third of the year, it will be necessary to make budget cuts —
thereby restricting some of the ministries and other things we must
do —unless anticipated parish income is realized. Please be sure
your pledge is up to date.
The Stewardship Committee
People with Disabilities Picnic a hit!
On Saturday, August 29, 45 people attended a People with Disabilities
Picnic at Kestral Point in Winton Woods sponsored by All Saints
Episcopal Church.
During the 11:00 to 3:30 event, Vic and his Accordion and Tom Bemmis,
a magician charmed their audience with music and magic tricks. Since
Kestral Point is wheelchair accessible, many participants took
advantage of the paved, gently sloping paths to travel around the
lake, enjoy the view, and feed the ducks. The weather was beautiful,
and the food delicious. A good time was had by all.
Many thanks to everyone who participated in making this event a great
success. We look forward to future activities and many happy times
working and playing together.
Celebrating the Baileys
All Saints parishioners were sad, but proud to bid farewell to David
Bailey in August. David will be leaving us to intern at St.
Patrick’s in Lebanon as the next step in his studies for the
priesthood. Molly, Beth and Ginny promise to be with us for at least
a while. The Bailey’s contributions to All Saints are truly
incalculable, and they, personally, will be greatly missed. Our best
wishes and prayers will be with you in this next phase of your lives
and ministry.
Coming Soon ...
The Theater Group of All Saints
This is your invitation to combine fellowship, entertainment and
education by attending Cincinnati live theater productions with other
All Saints parishioners.
We will choose three or more plays to attend as a group. Senior
discounts are available, with group rate discounts also in effect for
those not so senior.
Our first play is “The Importance of being Earnest” by
Oscar Wilde, at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park on Saturday,
Sept 19
at 9 p.m. We plan to meet at the Rookwood Pottery for dinner at
6 p.m. (optional).
Future plays planned as of now are “Full Gallop” at The
Ensemble Theater October 24, “A Doll’s House” at the
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park November 14, and “Alice in
Wonderland” at The Ensemble Theater in December along with
members of the Youth Group. We will try to follow or precede each
play with an optional opportunity to share a meal out together.
Those already signed up are: Len and Emilie Soderling, Olivia and
Edna Prosser, Mary Carlos, Betty Drinkard, Drucila Bain, Paul Shaw,
Kathryn and Sam McGowan, Miriam Evans, John and Bonnie Spain, Dorothy
Powell, Father Gary and Cindy Sturni. Don’t miss out!
Please contact Dorothy Powell (631-6028) or Sam McGowan (351-4536)
for reservations and other information.
Ministry Fair, Sept. 20
How can I help?
If you’ve been wondering what service activities are available
at
All Saints and how you can get involved, stop by the parish hall
after the 10:30 a.m. service on September 20. We’re planning an
“Ministry Fair.”
Representatives of many of the groups that make up our parish will
participate.
These representatives will be stationed at tables in the parish hall
ready to tell you about: • their group’s unique mission
• the time, abilities and commitment needed for involvement
•the rewards of participating.
To get you in the spirit of this event, we’ve included brief
sketches of a few of the groups that may participate.
Heathcote Farm, Sept. 25
Betty and Jim Heathcote have again invited the Women of All Saints
and friends to their farm on September 25. Please mark your calendars
for that date. Carpooling information and directions are available by
calling the church office. Sign up by calling Dot Stacey (531-8439)
or the church office weekdays before noon.
Sunday School Begins Sept. 27
We have three Sunday School groups this year, the Pre-School group,
led by Carol England and Pat Jacobs, the Primary Group, led by Monica
Moore and France Sloat, and the Junior and Senior High group, led by
Fr. Sturni and Jane Paraskevopolous. Liz Benton again is in charge of
child care. All groups begin on Sunday, Sept 27. That day will be an
observance of St. Michael the Archangel. We hope all families and
children will be present!
New traditions: Children’s Homily
Every Sunday our 10:30 a.m. service will begin with a children’s
homily just after the opening hymn. Children will take their places
in church with their parents as they arrive. Following the opening
hymn, the rector or another person will have a special
message—often an object lesson—for the children, following
which they will be dismissed for Sunday School. Just before the
Offertory the children will be recalled in time to join their parents
for Holy Communion.
Blessing of the Animals, Oct. 4
Blessing of Animals will take place on Sunday, Oct. 4, Saint Francis
Day, following the 10:30 a.m. service.
Adults and children are encouraged to bring pet(s) —dogs, cats,
lizards, spiders, birds, all are welcome — to church on Oct. 4.
You may choose to use a special cage you may have, but children and
adults will also be available to pet sit outside or downstairs while
most others attend church. (Children will come in for Holy
Communion.)
Following the final blessing, during the hymn, your pets will be
brought to the back of the church. During the hymn you may bring your
pet up the aisle to the priest, where he/she will be blessed by name
and sprinkled with holy water. You may then take your pet outdoors
and enjoy a special
reception.
Father Sturni will not be in church that day. He will be representing
Saint Francis Academy in a special Mass where the Presiding Bishop is
the celebrant, in Houston, Texas, at the conclusion of the National
Conference on Children’s Ministries. Father Sturni will be a
speaker in that conference. Father David Allardyce will celebrate at
All Saints on Oct. 4.
Dinner and Dixieland II, Oct. 17
One of last year’s most popular events, gourmet food followed by
Dixieland music, is being brought back on Saturday, October 17. In
this parish fund raiser and fellowship event, Chef Steve
Hellmich’s culinary delights will be followed again by the
outstanding Dixieland music of the Buffalo Ridge Jazz Band. Funds
raised go to parish ministries. Tickets will go on sale shortly by
members of the Development Committee: Steve Hellmich, Maryjane
Hotaling, Pat Jacobs, Eunice Murphy, Gary Snouffer, and Woody
Woodburn.
The Importance of Self-Esteem, Oct. 7
An eight-week course about self-esteem—it’s importance and
ways to support its growth in others—is being held in our area
beginning Wednesday, October 7. The class, entitled
“Self-Esteem: A Family Affair,” will be held at Kennedy
Heights Presbyterian Church. It is sponsored by Catholic Social
Services. For information,. call Sandra Keiser at 241-7745. The
registration deadline is Sept. 30, but the class may fill, so sign up
early if possible.
Stephen Ministry
There are times when each of us needs the care of another person, a
Christian friend, a Stephen Minister.
Stephen Ministry is a program of All Saints Parish that equips lay
persons to provide distinctively Christian one-on-one care to people
in our extended parish community who are experiencing all kinds of
life needs. Our Stephen Ministers work together with our Priest to
reach more people with Christian care than our Priest can reach
alone.
People experiencing these needs may include (but are not limited
to):
•the hospitalized • the terminally ill and their families
• people who move into or out of our community • those
grieving a death or serious loss • the homebound or
institutionalized • those with a job crisis • the aging and
elderly • those with disabilities and their families •
those needing the support of a Christian friend • the separated
or divorced • households experiencing birth or adoption •
those in spiritual crisis.
Stephen Ministry is a confidential ministry: those receiving care can
be sure that their identity and what goes on in the caring
relationship will remain private.
Stephen Ministers are committed Christian people who ... •
express God’s care to others through their lives; • receive
50 hours of initial training in important caring ministry skills and
concepts; • are commissioned as Stephen Ministers by our parish
after completing their initial training; • visit another person
(always same gender) regularly and dependably and offer Christian
support and care; • participate in regular support and
supervision under the guidance of trained Stephen Leaders; • are
committed to preserving the confidential nature of the caring
relationship; • serve for at least two years; • receive
continuing education and skill-building throughout their years of
service.
How you can support our Stephen Ministry ... • pray for our
Stephen Leaders, our Stephen Ministers and those who are receiving
their confidential care. • tell a Stephen Leader (Hazel
Retherford or Gary Snouffer) or Fr. Sturni about those who might
benefit from the care of a Stephen Minister. • receive Stephen
Ministry when you are in need of supportive Christian care. •
consider serving as a Stephen Minister.

Altar Guild
In some ways parish life is like home life. There are peaks, and
there are valleys. But there’s always ongoing work to do.
Altar Guild members are responsible for preparing for our regular
corporate worship. But they also help make it possible for our parish
to celebrate the cycle of life—from birth to death—with
beauty and a sense of the sacred.
Preparing the font for a baptism. Setting the altar for a wedding.
Gathering towels and heating water for foot washing. Lifting the
Paschal candle into place for another Easter. Decorating the church
for Easter. Spreading the pall over the coffin of a friend. These are
experiences familiar to Altar Guild
members.
During the course of a year, the Altar Guild pours the water and wine
and counts the wafers needed for more than a hundred Eucharists.
Pairs of us work together, often when the building is quiet. We get
to know each other, laughing, making mistakes and learning a living
tradition that links us with the early years of the church. In the
preparation of His gifts we feel the presence of God.
If you are interested in learning more about the Altar Guild, contact
Betty Ost or Pat Jacobs.

Ushers & Greeters
Our happy band of ushers and greeters now numbers 34, all of whom are
very dedicated to their tasks on Sunday mornings, which include
greeting parishioners and visitors, distributing bulletins and
providing other types of general assistance when necessary.
Some of our new and reenlisted volunteers include Dan Cook, Ethel
Galzerano, Tom Hillhouse, John McOsker and Bill Sloat. We are
thankful for their assistance.
This year we will be sticking to the three-usher format through the
end of the year. This seems to be working well, and it also means
that one individual serves about every seven to eight weeks. That way
the task doesn’t become a burden.
If any other parishioners are interested in this important ministry
of All Saints, please contact the writer.

Count on Coffee Hour
There are a few things we can count on in this world: Weather, Taxes.
And you can be sure that someone will feed you a little something
after church on Sundays in All Saints’ Parish Hall.
Coffee Hour thrives because we all participate in various ways. Some
of us make coffee, some of us drink it, but we all gather weekly for
fellowship and friendship, talk and togetherness, and all manner of
relaxing and/or frenetic activity (depending on your age group). Our
church community depends on this time together to catch up and carry
on. And the wonderful thing about coffee hour is that it is supported
by volunteers. Lots of them.
If you have never volunteered to host coffee hour, it may seem like a
daunting task. Here are a few suggestions to get you past that
“I’m going to get around to that some day”
mind-set.
Tips for hosting coffee hour:
•Yes, there are instructions, and they’re not even written
in Japanese like those for your VCR. Guidelines for setting up coffee
hour are available on request.
•The buddy system. Many families host coffee hours together, but
just as many pairs or groups of friends volunteer. Get a partner and
divide the work according to what you like to do: some people like to
cook, others like to set up or clean up.
•Remember that beverages (and accessories), paper goods and
flatware are provided. The only thing you bring is food.
•Know that you are providing an important service to your fellow
parishioners.
Coffee Hour volunteers perform a vital task in the All Saints
community. Please sign up to take your turn. The sign-up poster is
located in the Parish Hall. Your efforts will be appreciated by us
all.
If you have further questions about hosting Coffee Hour, please
contact Maryjane Hotaling at 531-9897.
Maryjane Hotaling
Choir
If you like to sing, want to make a significant contribution to our
worship experience and enjoy being part of a warm and supportive
group of parishioners, the All Saints choir is for you!
Organist/choirmaster Marianne Bailey leads this group, which includes
people of all ages, voice parts and levels of musical training. The
goal is to support our 10:30 a.m. Sunday worship service by:
•reinforcing the messages of the liturgy through a variety of
types
of music,
•leading and supporting congregational singing
•sharing fun and fellowship
together
We practice on Thursday evenings from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. in our
choir room on the lower level of the parish hall. On Sundays, we meet
a half-hour before the 10:30 a.m. service starts (just 15 minutes
early when there is adult education). The choir welcomes new members
any time. If you have questions, talk to Marianne or any of our
members — or just show up on Thursday night!
Sherrie O’Rear
Kudos to:
Gail Gamble and Dorothy Powell, who stepped in on short notice, and
completed the diocesan-mandated of our parish finances
Jim and Carol Buquo for nursing along our parish garden and doing
such a great job in caring for the outdoor portion of our
facility.
The People with Disability Committee: Barbara Donovan, Gail Gamble,
Sharon Hardy, Marshall Wiseman, Marty Eckes, Mike Combs, Larry
Retherford, Don McOsker, and all the participants who helped with the
recent picnic. Thanks to your hard work, everyone had a great
time.
Collin Grove, who completed the installation of a buzzer system
connecting the Sanctuary and the Sunday School. The buzzer allows the
acolytes to notify the Sunday School rooms when it is time to come
upstairs to participate in the service. The project came about as a
suggestion of the 21st Century Committee. Collin found out what was
needed from committee chairman, Jim Moorman, and took on the
challenge as a Boy Scout community service project. Many thanks to
Collin and his scoutmaster, Chuck Walker, who assisted him—and
also corrected some problems with the church’s phone lines in
the process.
A new book recently published by Dick & Bobbie Allis’s
son-in-law, Steven Millhauser, which is receiving excellent reviews.
”The Knife Thrower” is a collection of 12 short stories.
Steven’s last book, “Martin Dressler—The Tale of an
American Dreamer,” won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Steven
and the Allis’ daughter, Cathy Ann, live in Saratoga Springs,
New York, with their two children.
Jay Cooke, who was ordained a deacon on June 20. Jay, who was a
member of this parish for several years and was sponsored by All
Saints, was part of the first class of deacons to be ordained by The
Right Reverend Herbert Thompson, Bishop of Southern Ohio, in the
newly refurbished Christ Church Cathedral. Jay and his wife, Rev.
Judy Cooke (a United Church of Christ minister) both serve parishes
in Connecticut, where Jay recently completed his studies at the Yale
Divinity School. Jay returned to All Saints to participate in his
first service as a deacon on June 21.
The Caring Place
In June, All Saints rejoined the board of The Caring Place, a
Christian non-profit organization which provides a variety of
services to residents of Kennedy Heights, Pleasant Ridge, Silverton
and Golf Manor. The Caring Place is located in the basement of the
Kennedy Heights Presbyterian Church and consists of a volunteer board
of directors, a part-time director and a host of volunteers.
During the years in which we were not on the board, we continued to
collect food for The Caring Place. Ruth Jones delivered our food
contributions and attended board meetings. In December 1996, Larry
Retherford took her place on the board. Now, Sara Hickman and Larry
represent our parish. All Saints is among nine local church which
serve on the board.
In addition to the decision to take our place officially on the
board, we are now donating our “loose change” offering to
The Caring Place.
The Caring Place provides help to individuals and families of our
community by operating a food pantry; clothing and furniture
assistance; GED preparation classes; tutoring; rent/utility
assistance; a Christmas program; and J.O.Y. (Joining Our Youth),a
community organization to meet the needs of teenagers by providing
activities that address their social and spiritual development.
The FreeStore/FoodBank provides fresh fruits and vegetables to help
supplement The Caring Place’s food program (which consists of
donations of nonperishable foods). In July, the FreeStore/FoodBank
advised The Caring Place that they had received 22,173 pounds of food
at a cost to The Caring Place of $4,010.23. The retail value of that
food would be approximately $36,141.99. This points out the need for
cash contributions in addition to food from our congregation.
Contributions this year from the other member congregations range
from several hundred dollars to $2,500.
We ask that you consider The Caring Place when you make your
charitable contributions.
We get letters!
From Drs. Anita & Michael Dohn, physicians preparing for a
Christian mission in Central America, who visited us this summer.
“We sincerely appreciate your contribution to our ministry
expenses. We enjoyed our visit with you and met many wonderful people
and felt warmly received. Love in Christ!”
From Emilie Soderling
“Dear Christian Saints: Many thanks for your prayers and great
dinners during my illness and my more recent glaucoma surgery. Your
concern meant a lot to me and speeded my recovery to almost 100
percent! I am now back doing tours at the Art Museum and other
activities. Take care and God bless.”
From Ethel Hill, a longtime parishioner now living in Florida.
“...Having enjoyed the choir picture with several familiar faces
and people I enjoyed singing with about 19 years ago!...Notice many
new members which is good for the church. We make glorious music down
here and also have a small bell choir. It’s work, however,
it’s always rewarding. Marge Bowdon is still winning in
swimming—Bravo! Always loved it when she played the cello. I
swim half-mile laps five times a week—no racing...God bless all
of you.”
Thanks to our volunteers
Many thanks to our Altar Guild, our coffee hour volunteers and our
ushers and greeters. In coming issues we plan to highlight more of
the volunteers who keep our parish ticking. Thanks for your help; if
you have been inadvertently left out of a group in which you
participate, please let the editor know.

Hesitant to get more involved?
If you are shy, concerned about over-extending yourself or afraid you
don’t have the talent to serve, there are three things you need
to remember:
•You are needed. It takes a variety of people with many
different abilities to make All Saints the kind of warm, caring,
Christ-centered parish we strive to be. We’ll never be so
perfect that we won’t need more help. No matter what gift you
have to share, there’s probably a place for it here.
•Our parish groups are not perfect. We’re not always as
welcoming as we mean to be. Sometimes we lean too hard on those who
are already involved. Please communicate your needs and your time
limitations. We want to include you, not drive you away. We’re
usually more flexible than we may at first appear.
•Consider yourself invited. We’re stepping up our efforts
to invite people to join us in groups and activities. But our message
doesn’t always hit the target. If you’re interested in
getting involved, and don’t know who to contact, call the office
or Gary Snouffer, our Senior Warden.
