Volume 39, Issue 7
Every Fourth of July, for as long as I can remember, my mother has made ice cream. The metal canister grinds its revolutions while the ice melts. More ice, mom shouts, more salt. She opens the lid and pulls out the paddle. We are ready with spoons for an early taste. It is so good. Later, at the picnic, she will serve it in clear plastic cups along side chocolate cake. Some years we pick strawberries at the local farm and have strawberry ice cream. But the plain vanilla is the best. Over the summer, families will gather and eat. We will eat at reunions, picnics, weddings, and barbeques. We will gather around tables and nourish our bodies even as we strengthen the bonds we have as families and friends. As Presbyterians, we gather for worship around a bath tub and a table. We have just two sacraments, that is, visible signs of God’s invisible grace. One sign is water, and the others are bread and wine. Up in our chancel area at the front of the sanctuary is the baptismal font and the communion table. The table is one of the most important symbols of our faith. At the communion table we eat and drink together with one another and with Jesus. Although we often think of the Lord’s Supper as just Jesus’ last supper on the night of his arrest, the meal at the table is so much more. Jesus was always over to someone’s house for dinner. Jesus ate with the senators and lawmakers and he ate with the homeless. He visited people in hospitals, psychiatric wards, and rehabilitation centers. He had picnics with thousands, old and young alike. Some even called him a glutton and a drunkard.
Summer 2010
When we eat the bread and drink of the cup, we take Jesus’ life into our lives. Although Presbyterians do not believe that the bread and wine literally become Jesus’ flesh and blood, we do believe in the mystery of grace by which we are united with Christ and fed by his real presence. We eat to remember Jesus and how he ate with all different kinds of people. We eat to remember how with Jesus at the dinner table, sins were forgiven and there was far more than enough for everyone. We remember that Jesus loved his friends and loves us enough to give his life. We remember too, how even after Jesus had died, his friends often knew that he was with them as they ate together. Every meal for us becomes a time to remember Jesus, his story, and his love for us. Every meal we share can be for us a celebration of Jesus’ presence in our lives. What else do Presbyterians believe about communion? When I was a child, children were not allowed at the table until they were confirmed at the age of thirteen or fourteen. I sat in the pew and passed along a tray of white wafers. I wanted one so badly. I asked my mother what it tasted like. She said it tasted like Styrofoam and stuck to the roof of her mouth. I still wanted one. Today children are welcome at the table. Some thirty years ago or so, Presbyterians decided that God’s grace is open to all and children should be included, too. As you eat with family and friends this summer, as you sit at the table, remember Jesus, celebrate God’s love, forgive one another, share some of your food with others, and strengthen your bond with one another and with Jesus Christ. God’s Blessings,
He likened himself to the “Bread of Life,” declaring that his presence in our lives is as necessary as the food we eat. Without his love and compassion, we cannot live. Without his mercy, we cannot live as fully and as joyfully as God intends for us to live.

SERVE AS A LITURGIST AT CCPC Liturgy: Work of the People from late Latin lītūrgia, from Greek leitourgiā, public service, from leitourgos, public servant There are certain historical and theological reasons our church has a member of the congregation read scripture and lead us in certain parts of the worship every Sunday. On Sunday, August 1 at 11:20 in the sanctuary the Worship and Music Committee will host a fun, enlightening and brief training on how to be the liturgist in a worship service at CCPC. Pastor Molly will lead the discussion and coach us in some of the specifics of this ministry. All are warmly welcomed – especially our youth! Sign up or encourage a friend to take advantage of this special opportunity. Mark your calendar for the August 1 training and email Meg Artley at martley@iona.org or call (202) 895-9401 today so that we can prepare materials for you.

4 General Assembly 2010 Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water. John 7:38
T
his summer, commissioners and advisory delegates will arrive in Minneapolis, MN for the 219th General Assembly (2010) of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) The agenda for the Assembly has been set by issues which reflect the amazing breadth of the work and witness of the PC(USA), both internally and in matters that span the globe. The vast majority of business items are overtures—to date, 107 of them—that presbyteries have submitted to the assembly. Most overtures began with an idea from a session of a congregation who want their idea to be addressed by the entire PC(USA). The session then sent the overture to its presbytery for consideration, which, after being approved by the presbytery, was forwarded to the General Assembly. Additional items of business include reports from assembly agencies and special committees, among others. Every business item coming to this year’s General Assembly, as well as a list of the GA committees, is available at http://pc-biz.org, but read on to see a summary of the business prepared by Sharon Youngs, assistant stated clerk and communications coordinator for the Office of the General Assembly of the PC(USA): Standard Fare Looking at the business issues coming to the 219th General Assembly (2010) could be likened to sitting down at a restaurant and studying the menu. A good number of menu options will be standard fare that can be found in several establishments, but with a slight twist of ingredients to put a particular restaurant’s signature on them. So it is with this year’s assembly. As with the past several assemblies, the 219th GA will consider issues that have become standard fare for assemblies. The following percentages of subject matter are similar to at least the previous five
General Assemblies: Ordination Standards Well over 25 percent of the overtures submitted revolve around ordination standards. Some overtures are asking the assembly to delete G6.0106b1 from the Book of Order, some are calling for a new G-6, and others are asking the assembly to delay action on this provision of the PC(USA) Constitution. Peacemaking and International Issues A close second in percentage of overtures are those that address peacemaking and international issues. These items call for various assembly actions regarding the war in Afghanistan, peace in Sudan, refugees and the people of Iraq, mission and ministry in North Korea, and embracing nonviolence as our response to war and terror. Because of the report of the Middle East Study Committee (172 pages and over 30 recommendations) and additional items that relate to that particular region of the world, an assembly committee has been formed to focus on Middle East peacemaking issues. Included on this committee’s agenda will be recommendations to denounce, and another to divest from, Caterpillar, Inc. for its “continued profit-making from nonpeaceful uses of its products” in the IsraelPalestine conflict. PC(USA) Polity Slightly less than one-quarter of business items focus on PC(USA) polity. Several of the overtures are in response to the recommendation that the assembly approve a proposed new Form of Government and send it to presbyteries for ratification. Some overtures ask that the Form of Government Task Force’s work be received or postponed; one calls for it to be adopted as an “enabling” document. Additional overtures in this area have to do with items such as commissioned lay pastors, interim pastors, educators, and associate members. The General Assembly Several presbyteries have submitted overtures this
5 year that address issues surrounding the assembly itself. They include the number of assembly committees, the standing rules, authoritative interpretations, who has privilege of the floor, whether an amendment to the Constitution requires a simple or two-thirds majority vote, young adult advisory delegates, the timeline for electing commissioners, how often the assembly convenes, and deleting the responsibility of a General Assembly “to decide controversies brought before it and to give advice and instruction in cases submitted to it, in conformity with the Constitution.” Marriage The definition of marriage is the subject of roughly 15 percent of this year’s overtures. A number of the overtures ask the assembly to affirm the current definition of marriage in the Directory for Worship as being between a man and a woman. In contrast, a number of them ask the assembly to change the definition so that the gender of the couple is not specified. These overtures will be considered by the assembly committee that will study the report of the Special Committee to Study Issues of Civil Union and Christian Marriage. Special Menu Items Theological matters The 219th GA may be the first assembly to consider two changes to The Book of Confessions. A special committee is recommending the addition of the Belhar Confession to the book. Another special committee will ask that it continue until the next assembly in 2012 when it will bring a new translation of the Heidelberg Catechism. Middle Governing Body Issues As a confirmation that the PC(USA) is in the midst of significant change, overtures before this year’s assembly call for actions to either eliminate synods or reduce their function, while others call for the formation of a non-geographic presbytery and synod. The assembly will also consider a recommendation from the Committee on the Office of the General Assembly to form a Middle Governing Body Commission.
Ecumenical and Interfaith Matters The assembly will consider issues about relationships with and attitudes toward other religious bodies. Included among the items will be the report of the committee investigating the Evangelical Presbyterian Church as well as two study papers—“Christians and Jews: People of God” and “Toward an Understanding of Christian– Muslim Relationships.” Cultural and Social Issues Finally, speaking against violence toward pregnant women, addressing abortion, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the passage of the first social pronouncement of the Presbyterian church, making available resources regarding the destruction and loss of coastal wetlands, encouraging all Presbyterians to know their HIV status, and protesting the “blatant disregard for the sanctity of our Lord’s name in motion pictures and public broadcasting” are just some of the examples of the remaining issues that sessions and presbyteries have been led to ask this year’s assembly to address. Commissioners and advisory delegates will have a giant feast, to be sure!
Please pray for our commissioners and for our church as the Assembly meets July 310, 2010.
Endnote “Those who are called to office in the church are to lead a life in obedience to Scripture and in conformity to the historic confessional standards of the church. Among these standards is the requirement to live either in fidelity within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman (W-4.9001), or chastity in singleness. Persons refusing to repent of any selfacknowledged practice which the confessions call sin shall not be ordained and/or installed as deacons, elders, or ministers of the Word and Sacrament.”

ANNOUCEMENTS
NOMINATIONS FOR CCPC LEADERSHIP Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same spirit: and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
The Nominating Committee for 2010-2011 would like to request your assistance in identifying potential nominees for elders, deacons and one auditor. As we cannot know every individual in the congregation, we will be relying on you to bring talented, faithful and caring nominees to our attention. A copy of the Nominating form is included here and the complete Nominations flyer maybe found in the Friendship folders in the pews or on the tables in the Narthex. Self nominations are welcomed. Suggestions for nominations may be emailed to Noni Lindahl at nvlindahl@aol.com, placed in the offering basket on Sunday, or mailed to the church c/o the Nominating Committee.
I suggest the following Nomination: Name: Office: 1. Please tell us about the nominee and why you think he/she would be an effective officer.
2. Do you know how the person is currently involved at CCPC? (officer, committee, teacher activities, etc.)
3. Is there anything else you would like us to know about the nominee?
SUMMER CHURCH SCHOOL AT CCPC FOR CHILDREN: Summer schedules bring opportunities for new patterns of life together, and this is part of our Sunday morning life together as well! As we worship as one church family at 10:00 a.m. throughout the summer, we will welcome children (completed Grade 3 and up) to remain in the sanctuary following the Time with Children to experience the rhythm and wonder of worship. Look for storybooks and activities to use during the service in the Children’s Worship Crate located in the Narthex. Younger children (Ages 3-5 and completed Kindergarten through Grade 2) are invited (but not required) to go to special church school classes for the rest of the hour. In July, Ages 3-5 will meet in Room 180 and Kindergarten through Grade 2 (completed) will meet in Room 170 on the first floor in the Education Building. In August, the two groups will combine in Room 180 though August 22 and divide again on August 29. Look for the signs around the church to guide you. Childcare for infants, toddlers and two’s continues in Rooms 106 and 108.

SUMMER FILM SCREENINGS Do you hate to go to the movies alone, or sometimes wish for some discussion of themes and characters after the film is over? Then plan to join us after worship (around 11:30 a.m.) for some Movie Screenings and Discussion at CCPC on selected Sundays this Summer:
Sunday, July 11 at 11:30 a.m. in Geneva Hall AMAZING GRACE Amazing Grace (rated PG) tells the story of the twenty-year effort of William Wilberforce, member of the British House of Commons, to abolish the slave trade and slavery. This film commemorates the two hundredth anniversary of the abolition of slavery in Great Britain, when that bill passed. The film brings to life characters whose names we know from history classes and the compelling story of the horrible conditions experienced by slaves on their journey and in subsequent places of servitude. The wellknown hymn "Amazing Grace" serves as a central inspiration for the justice Wilberforce seeks. Written by John Newton, a slave trader turned Anglican priest whom Wilberforce knew, the hymn was an expression of his gratitude to God for giving him the ability to see his life for what it was, to turn away from the "many dangers, toils and snares" of his former life, and to turn toward "home."
Sunday, August 1 at 11:30 a.m. in Geneva Hall DOUBT In times of rapid change, it is often hard to know whether we are choosing the right path. Resistance, love, fear, intolerance, denial, and loyalty all combine to create the perfect storm of uncertainty. We make choices and take risks without all the information, never totally sure if we've done the right thing. The academy Award-nominated film Doubt (rated PG-13) wrestles with times such as these in the life of a small Catholic school for boys.
Sunday, August 15 at 11:30 a.m. in Geneva Hall PAPERCLIPS How do we learn tolerance? The surprising answer offered by the documentary Paper Clips (rated G) is that we can begin by counting. In 1998, a group of twenty five middle school students at Whitwell Middle School in Tennessee began a course of study on intolerance and the devastating effect it can have when prejudice goes unchecked. During a study of the Holocaust, the class was shocked to learn that 6 million Jewish people were killed in concentration camps. One of the students in the course suggested they try to count to six million by collecting something. The class discovered that citizens of Denmark wore paperclips during World War II in solidarity with the Jewish people. Learning that such an ordinary object could have profound meaning shocked the class and stirred them to action. They began collecting paperclips, one at a time, with the hope of reaching six million. "It began as a lesson about prejudice-what happened next was a miracle" and we quickly learn and experience through the movie how prejudice plays out in every day life. Popcorn and snacks will be served! Come join us!
8 A SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN THE LIFE OF A CCPC ESL STUDENT Julie Combes Esperanza* has been attending ESL classes at CCPC on Sundays now for three years, during which the class has grown from 8 attendees to 38. She is not always able to be present, as her bosses sometimes need her services seven days a week (other babysitters are often in the same position), as well as 12 hours a day. However, even with so little time to study, she has shown extraordinary dedication. She will often arrive an hour ahead of the scheduled class beginning time, to work on her own, or with her classmates, using the materials and exercises provided each week. She obtained a computer through our program, which also helps her with her studies. On a typical Sunday, she and the other students watch an episode of an ESL video series about a Romanian restaurant owner and his multinational staff, dealing with problems familiar to foreigners, as well as other people living in this country, including personality and culture clashes, employment, economic hardship, single parenthood, teenage problems, discrimination, fraud and confidence tricksters, gang violence and relationships with police. In a small group, with a volunteer tutor, she then discusses the episode, with the photo script, Volunteers always needed – and does vocabulary building and comprehension exercises.
What’s New??
She reads sentences she has written with new words that she has gleaned from her reading and listening during the week, and shares with other students, recording new words into a personal dictionary. Sometimes, she discusses the subject and vocabulary of a CD that she has been listening to, or writes about a book or video she has borrowed. Each week, she can choose material at her level, concerning grammatical, cultural and topical themes relevant to life skills, to this country’s history and culture, and to the world in general – some of these she will take home to read, one or two she reads with her group, and discusses with her tutor, with special emphasis on comprehension and vocabulary building. Recent topics have included slavery, The American Civil War, The Lewis and Clark Expedition, D-Day, the BP Oil Spill and ‘Extreme Animals’ (practice in formation of superlative adjectives). At the end of the session she writes a ‘learning log’, summarizing something new she has learned (sometimes the tutor also learns something new!). It is hard work, as anyone of us knows who has tried to learn a new language, and adapt to a new culture – though often in work conditions which we would find unthinkable. Getting to know such students is a privilege, and a life-enriching experience. We wish them all they hope for! *not her real name
Complete your Sunday worship and service experience by making a difference in someone else’s life. Our ESL students are hard-working and dedicated people who only need your encouragement for a couple of hours a week, to improve their lives. They have been taught to work by themselves, and need only a little supervision once a week, to keep them on track. No experience needed –liberal leave policy (though disappearing from their lives without warning can be discouraging.) Luxurious quarters in Calvin Hall, with coffee and snacks (12:30 to 2:30), all material provided, ‘professional’ direction, small groups at different levels, fun and friendly atmosphere. If interested contact, Julie Combes (703) 435-3838, juliecombes@aol.com

CONGRATULATIONS TO WES CARSON Recipient of the Love*Care*Hope Award for Volunteer Service from Iona Congratulations to long-time CCPC member Wes Carson for receiving the 2010 Love*Care*Hope Award from IONA senior services ministry in Tenleytown. The award was presented to Wes at the Iona Art of Caring Luncheon on April 21 at the Mayflower Hotel. Iona was founded by four congregations in the Tenleytown neighborhood, and those early faith partners quickly grew and expanded their ranks to twenty-five by the time Iona celebrated its tenth anniversary. The Board of Directors in those early days were the representatives of these congregations and Wes Carson came to Iona from Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church, nominated for the task by then Associate Pastor Dean McDonald.
Sally White, Executive Director of Iona and Wes Carson.
In his quiet and modest way, Wes helped to shape and form the organization we are now. Together with Jim Nathanson and Ruth Alward, Wes helped to reorganize the Iona Board to allow for greater capacity for fundraising and leading the way in founding the Member Council, an advisory board of congregations. Shortly after this reorganization, Iona was able to raise the funding to build their state-ofthe-art Breckinridge Center on Albemarle Street. But Wes has changed Iona in ways more profound than even this. He has been a constant in the daily life of the Clubs, where he was called to work with men with early memory loss. He was a calm, steady, dedicated and genuinely friendly presence in their lives and has set the standard for volunteers and staff who would follow him. Wes has also served people who have low vision and those who are in need of transportation to and from medical appointments, lending his steady and loving presence to their lives. We join with those at Iona in congratulating Wes on many years of dedicated service to Iona and on receiving this well-deserved recognition. Wes and his wife Carol have recently moved to a retirement community in Winchester, VA. Rumor has it that he is already finding meaningful ways to get involved in that new community as well.
CHURCH OFFICE HOURS in July & August are: 8:30 AM—4:00 PM

Flowers to the Glory of God We trust the floral creations gracing the Chancel each Sunday morning add a special meaning to your worship experience. They are presented as special gifts from the generous contributions of members and friends of Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church. The cost of flowers each Sunday is about $100 which requires two $50 donations. For 2010 we have 46 contributors. Excluding Easter and Christmas we have 50 Sundays each year in which to provide floral arrangements. We need 100 donors. “For the flowers are great blessings...the flowers have their angels, even the words of God's creation… the flower glorifies God …there is a language of flowers. For the flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ.”
Flowers are selected, purchased and arranged weekly by the loving hands of CCPC Flower Committee volunteers. Following the Sunday service the flowers are delivered to those in our church family who are hospitalized, recovering at home, grieving or marking special life milestones.
We need your help to continue this lovely tradition. Anyone who wishes to contribute may do so to celebrate or honor a group or individual or as a memorial. Please complete the form below and return it to the Church Office. If you wish to give the flowers at a particular time of year indicate the date. You will receive a notice prior to the date flowers are contributed along with a request to send a check for $50 to the church. Checks are to be made out to the CCPC Flower Committee.
