Much is made in the Old Testament about sacrifice. In the New Testament the sacrificial imagery centers around Jesus and his death on the cross. I offer the following Jewish commentary about the sacrifice as a way of looking at sacrifice, especially that of Jesus:

Why are there so many details about animal sacrifice in the Torah? How should a modern Jew view animal sacrifices?

Animal sacrifices are indeed difficult to comprehend in the context of today’s society. In fact, it has come to the point that many espouse that the killing of animals is wrong even if it is for food or clothing. Clearly, that is not the view of the Torah, and we should not be quick to bend the eternal wisdom of Torah per the fleeting trends in society.

Animal sacrifice was meant as a way of intense confrontation with sin. The repentant would bring an animal for a sacrifice, lean himself upon the animal’s head, perhaps look into those large, shining eyes, and be forced to come to terms with the destruction that sin causes. When the animal was finally slaughtered and offered on the altar, one was supposed to feel that it really should have been him or her up on that altar. Today, with the absence of the Temple in Jerusalem, animal sacrifices are no longer practiced. A close reading of the Prophets reveals that this is due to the fact that insincere offerings became the norm during the end of the first Temple period. God does not want the destruction of His creations, and when the sacrifices ceased to elicit the internal response for which they were meant, the offerings themselves ceased. In their place, we offer tears and the sincere longing of heartfelt prayers.

St. Paul’s ‘Ministry to the Parish’ Committee

There are many working committees at St. Paul’s and each month we hope to tell you about a committee, give the function of that committee, contact information and Vestry Liaison assigned. This month’s feature is one of the newer committees:

This Ministry to the Parish is a subcommittee of the Parish Life Committee and is chaired by Sidney Harmon with vestry liaison Linda Strutner. The committee is designed to supply meals to the sick, bereaved and shut-ins of St. Paul’s Church.

A committee volunteer will visit with the shut-ins and newcomers with a loaf of bread or a plate of cookies. In many cases greeting cards are also used to let those who are unable to attend church know that they are in our thoughts and prayers.

Each month has a chairperson and two or three others to lend assistance as needed for the designated month. Chairperson for June: Kathleen Donnellan 578-6955. With Martha Bates, Becky Briddell and Eleanor Ford assisting.

Parishioner of St. Paul’s who are in need of the ‘Ministry to the Parish’ Committee’s help, please contact the chairperson for the month of June. If you wish to volunteer for this committee, contact Sidney Harmon.

Beyond the Call – This Volunteer Did

St. Paul’s Church is fortunate to have a great volunteer base and I would like to tell you about one of those volunteers. Her name is Lucy Hincke and she has taken care of the log for memorial donations for many years.

When I came to St. Paul’s about fifteen years ago, she was busy at this job and at that time she also wrote thank you notes for each of the memorial donations. [I have no knowledge of how many years she had invested prior to my arrival.] Just keeping the logbook is a time consuming task, but she was meticulous about the job.

Thanks to Lucy we have historical log books for items such as furniture, pews, stained glass windows, an altar cross, Sanctuary needlepoint, silver and glass items that, over the years, have been donations to the church as memorials. Here’s to you Lucy! I only pray we can continue the job you have done so very well. Janet, office staff

This and That Fr. Mills will be out of town June 9-13; Deacon Chris will be at Kanuga June 8-10. Please join us Sunday, June 12 when our celebrant and preacher will be Fr. Ralph Smith.

Episcopal Church Posts Membership Statistics

The Episcopal Church posts membership attendance figures. Statistics from 2009 Parochial Report show 2,175,616 baptized members of the Episcopal Church for 2009, with an Average Sunday Attendance (ASA) of 724, 789, about a 3% decline from the previous year’s report. In an accompanying report of Episcopal Domestic Fast Facts 2009 (not inclusive of any of the non-United States-based diocese), the largest ASA was posted at the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul in Washington, D.C. (Washington National Cathedral) with 1,667. The largest active membership was noted at St. Martin, Houston (Diocese of Texas) with 8,311 members. You will find the report at www.episcopalchurch.org/newsline

Web Buddies

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church recently recognized a problem. With a well designed internet web-site providing more and more information about the programs, events, and writings of the parish, the Communications Committee realized that many communicants were not Web users and thus were missing some information. Members had been invited to sign up for hard copies of our regular documents and many did receive these by mail. However, we felt that there were still others that were losing some contact with parish “goings on” by not accessing the Web. Volunteers were requested for a “Web Buddy” ministry to reach those non-web users by phone. Volunteers were matched with members who were relatively nearby to facilitate contact. Within a month, seven volunteers were calling 13 members periodically to supplement the Web and to open the potential for two-way communication with these people. Some of those being reached were healthy, active members who simply didn’t have or use computers. Some were limited by health or mobility problems. Most appreciated the personal contact from the volunteers in addition to the information provided.

One unintended consequence of the term “Web Buddies” was that some members thought that to participate, one needed to be a computer user.(Not true) Initial responses have been favorable, with several people expressing appreciation for having someone to talk with on a regular basis. Our hope is that as the ministry expands and as relationships are built between the callers and the callee, that feedback from these members via their contacts will give the clergy, staff, and vestry more awareness of their needs and interests.

Minutes from Finance Committee Meeting March 17, 2011

Present: Rich Berg (Chair), Pete Borg (Treasurer), Leslie Forrester (Payroll), Doug Mancabelli (Receiving Treasurer), John McKinley, Bob Jameson

Composition of Finance Committee.

A. There are a number of parishioners who wish to be on the Committee, as well as a number of volunteers who already have assigned roles within the Treasurer’s office (receiving Treasurer, etc.). There is a concern that, with too many persons, the Committee can get too “bulky” making it difficult for efficient decision-making.

B. There was a discussion about the work of the “Treasurer’s staff” with assigned roles – Pete, Interim Treasurer; Doug, Receiving Treasurer; Alice, Disbursing Treasurer; and Leslie, Payroll/Day School. Aside from the Treasurer, who routinely updates the Finance Committee during meetings, there was no real interest for the Treasurer’s staff roles to include being part of the decision-making Finance Committee. The Committee graciously thanked Pete for his ability to maintain the Treasurer’s position until another Treasurer is seated.

ACTION–The Finance Committee decided that the members of the Treasurer’s staff, except for the Treasurer, are optional attendees (sorry for the OUTLOOK wording) to these meeting. The Finance Committee Chair will meet periodically with the Treasurer’s staff for separate meetings and discussions (target once a quarter).
After the Committee meeting, Mike O’Neill expressed interest in being on the Finance Committee. With that addition, the makeup of the 2011 Finance Committee is:
Committee Members–Rich Berg (Chair), Pete Borg (Interim Treasurer), John McKinley, Bob Jameson, Jim Briddell, Jean Peace, and Mike O’Neill.

2. Treasurer’s Staff –Doug Mancabelli, Alice Payne, Leslie Forrester, Pete Borg.

Reports

A. Pete discussed the need this year to investigate another auditor. The previous auditor has requested payment of $13,000 for their services, compared with other years where the total bill was approximately $4,000. One service that was mentioned included DK Burke and Associates. Pete recommended to start this process later (early summer) since Winter/Spring is a very busy time for auditing and there will be few places with available time. ACTION–We will keep discussing prospects for new auditors and work towards making a decision for the 2010 audit in early summer (Chair proposes June meeting). Pete also discussed issues with our bank, like high employee turnover and poor customer service. Rates are also low, although it is not known if the rates are necessarily lower than other banks. Bob noted that Eastman Credit Union usually has higher rates, lower turnover and good customer service. ACTION–Bob will investigate using ECU to manage St. Paul’s banking accounts.

Doug has requested that Rich re-iterate at the Vestry meeting that it is TERRIBLY IMPORTANT to refrain from opening envelopes when counting money. After the meeting, Rich brought it up during the Vestry meeting. There was widespread consensus that everyone knew the rule, and a recently elected Vestry member took responsibility for the oversight. This issue appears to be resolved.

III. Other Business

Rich discussed the options to allow for Mickey Ellis to be Treasurer. She has expressed enthusiasm for the job, and is wheelchair-bound. The Treasurer’s office on the second floor of the office is not accessible. The Finance Committee determined that some form of remote-access would not work, mainly for security purposes.

ACTION- The Finance decided that we would pursue the option of relocating the Treasurer’s office to an accessible location within the church. Rich will lead this effort.

Although Jean was not at the meeting, there was a short discussion about on-line giving. The idea would be to allow for a secure donation to St. Paul’s from the website. Pete noted, with his experience leading a non-profit, that companies usually get paid by a percentage of the donation. This would make it impractical as an alternate device for already-pledging members. ACTION– he Finance Committee decided to table on-line giving discussion until we get more information from Jean about a proposal.
Leslie discussed general Day School finances. With the month-to-month variability in the Day School expenditures, there may be times when St. Paul’s funds will be needed for a short time. John proposed a line item for a “Day School” fund. There was little additional discussion but this issue seems important enough to warrant further discussion.

ACTION–The discussion on a St. Paul’s “Day School” budget line item will be tabled until the budgeting season (or earlier if time permits).

Bob mentioned that the choir has had great success and high participation with an earlier 5:30 start time for rehearsals. There was a general consensus that this would be a good alternative. We will try it for a while and see how it works.
Rich will send out minutes and agenda items in both WORD 2010 format and WORD 97-2003 format. Some members do not have the later version of WORD.
Idea stages–items discussed or brought up that are not yet fully formed–we will get to on an as needed basis. Consider this our “storage shed.”

Finance involvement in a Long-Range Planning Committee. Rich will attend, but no “spark” yet to start the LRPC.

Finance involvement in Hunt and Carruba properties–what needs to be done now? Succession planning for Treasurer staff positions in general and Alice in particular. Employ different “budget scenarios” for best estimate/better than expected/less than expected 2012 pledge.

Minutes from April 14, 2011 Finance Committee meeting

Present: Rich Berg, Pete Borg (Treasurer), Alice Payne (Disbursing Treasurer), Mike O’Neill, Jim Briddell, Bob Jameson, John McKinley; Guest Present: Mickey Ellis

Relocation of Treasurer’s office for Mickey Ellis as Treasurer. Mickey discussed her prior work as an auditor for an entire Air Force base. The Finance Committee agreed that she is “supremely overqualified” for the position and will be a great fit. All issues brought up seem surmountable, so we will pursue this plan. Notable issues and discussion include:
A phone line will be needed. However, we can relocate the current phone in the Treasurer’s office to maintain the same number of lines in the church. There will be a one-time cost to put a phone jack into the new office and relocate the current phone, but there should be no additional recurring costs.
A wireless router will need to be purchased to allow Internet access into the room.
Finally, a deadbolt for each door will need to be installed. Action – Rich will get an estimate of costs to push our plan forward.
The safe in Janet’s office will not need to be moved, nor will a new safe need to be purchased. The only person using the safe on a routine basis is the receiving Treasurer, Doug Mancabelli. After the meeting, Rich discussed this option with Doug and he offered that there would not be an issue with taking safe items to and from the new office rather than to and from the old treasurer’s office.

A plan for relocating the Sunday school class will be needed. Action–Rich will make final plans with Chris H. for the Sunday school class.

The action plan is for Rich to have a Vestry discussion and get cost estimate, then announce the change on a future Vestry meeting. For signature authority concerns, Vestry acceptance of the new Treasurer will need to be documented in the minutes.

Treasurer’s report was given without significant comment.
Bob Jameson reported on the option of switching accounts to Eastman Credit Union. Their interest rates are competitive and service is generally known to be superior. Bob has the required paperwork and recommended switching banks. The Committee agreed and decided to time the switch to coincide with the Treasurer switch, such that paperwork (signature cards, etc.) would be minimized. Similar to 1 above, ECU requires that Vestry minutes document the change in banks.

IV. New business – given the very high power bills during this past winter, there was a recommendation to pursue “budget billing” for electricity (AEP) and gas (ATMOS) to smooth out the bills to help our budgeting. Action – Rich will gather information from AEP and ATMOS and provide a recommendation. Again, this switch will also most likely require Vestry acceptance and documentation.

V. On-line giving. The idea of including a donation button on the web-site has been discussed for several years, but has never seemed to gain traction. Jean and Alison Barton are the main drivers. The Committee still remains skeptical because of the costs and the target audience for this web-site tool. It would be good to have a discussion and decide on this with Alison and Jean’s input. Action – Rich will set up a face to face talk with Alison and Jean if possible, mainly to get a better idea of who we are trying to target with this idea.

VI. Tax advantage of IMA – John brought up a tax item that applies this year affecting people over 70 taking a “required” distribution from their retirement fund. Action – John and Bob will craft a written description that could be inserted into a Sunday bulletin and put on the web-site. The target for this insert would be between Easter and Pentecost, possibly in conjunction with a “temple talk” from Rich. Although not discussed because of time, we will maintain our schedule of meeting the Second Thursday of the month, and 5:30 pm at this point sounds like a good time. Please plan on meeting Thursday, May 12, 5:30 p.m., in the Foyer room. Please let me know by phone or email if there is a conflict.

Richard Berg, Finance Committee Chair, 423-863-5124; richbergpe@yahoo.com

Hello, all, [e-mail from Rich Berg dated Sat. May 28, 2011]

I have accepted an offer to work in upstate New York for Corning Incorporated. We have been considering a move closer to home but I did not think it would happen so quickly – the opportunity was too good to pass up. We will be leaving the area on the fourth of July weekend. I am going to miss you all and feel a little bad about giving up the Finance chairmanship since I have gotten a lot of positive feedback from you all about how I am doing. These kind words have meant a lot this year as I was starting from scratch. Per our usual schedule, let’s have a Finance committee meeting on the Second Thursday of June, June 9. The biggest agenda item for the meeting will be determining a successor Finance Chair. Please pray on this and consider it, or consider other members of the church. We have an amazingly knowledgeable and talented group, so take it from me, it is quite easy to lead such a self-motivated committee. My last Vestry meeting will be the June 20^th meeting, at which point I will introduce the new Finance Chair and turn over. I am still working with Pete to get a wireless solution for the Treasurer’s office. As far as the phone goes, it appears we will start Mickey on using the line that is in the foyer by the piano – not optimal but I can’t think of anything quick and cheap at this time. Other activities will need to be delegated. I will get the minutes and agenda out to you “as soon as practical” but as you can imagine the next several weeks will be quite hectic. I’ve loved being part of St. Paul’s – leaving the church and you friends will be the most difficult part of the move.

Take Care, Rich
