An Update

November 5

All Saints’

The final version of Pine Street’s Strategic Plan has been approved by Session. Following a 16-month process, a Strategic Plan has been completed that provides a path to grow our congregation, engage Sunday morning experiences, renew our commitment to serving others through our mission programs, and develop fellowship and educational experiences that extend throughout the week. The journey exceeded the work of the sevenmember committee! In two focus group meetings, the first held in April, 2016, and the second in May, 2017, a total of 100 church members presented ideas and passions for our church. Thank you for your participation!

The Strategic Plan includes Pine Street’s new purpose statement: Pine Street is a welcoming church, glorifying God through worship, fellowship, and service in the world. It also sets forth goals and strategies to support this statement. The plan is now moving into the implementation stage during which a few strategies will be the primary focus.

Implementation of the following strategies will be a priority: Lift our profile and visibility by developing marketing efforts to include social media, new or updated signs, non-traditional means of advertisement, and the hiring of a communications specialist or firm, and evaluate current practices, including the viability of print media.

November MAPS Concerts UNO + ONE: Italia Nostra featuring TENET Friday, November 10 at 7:30 p.m.

Preëminent New York City-based early music ensemble TENET celebrates its ninth season in 2017-18. Under Artistic Director Jolle Greenleaf, TENET has won acclaim for its innovative programming, virtuosic singing, and command of repertoire that spans the Middle Ages to the present day. Highlights of recent seasons include performances of J.S. Bach’s motets, a three-year cycle of Carlo Gesualdo’s Tenebrae Responsories, a medieval survey series called The Sounds of Time led by Robert Mealy, and original theatrical performances highlighting works composed by, for, and about women in 17th century Italy. Renowned for their interpretations of Renaissance and Baroque repertoire, TENET’s distinguished soloists have been praised for their pristine onevoice-to-a-part singing “to an uncanny degree of precision” (The Boston Globe). TENET sponsors the highly praised Green Mountain Project, giving annual performances of Claudio Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610, as well as other Vespers that have been newly reconstructed by the project’s musical director, Scott Metcalfe, including music by Monteverdi, Giovanni Gabrieli, Antoine Charpentier, and their contemporaries.

Soprano Jolle Greenleaf is one of today’s foremost figures in the field of early music. Ms. Greenleaf has been hailed by The New York Times as a “golden soprano” and “a major force in the New York early music-scene.”

She is a celebrated interpreter of the music of Bach, Buxtehude, Handel, Purcell and, most notably, Claudio Monteverdi. She has performed as a soloist in venues throughout the U.S., Scandinavia, Europe, and Central America for important presenters including Vancouver Early Music Festival, Denmark’s Vendsyssel Festival, Costa Rica International Music Festival, Puerto Rico’s Festival Casals, Utrecht Festival, at Panama’s National Theater, and San Cristobal, the Cathedral in Havana, Cuba.

An Emergency Night Shelter at Downtown Daily Bread Winter 2017-2018 The winter of 2017-2018 in the City of Harrisburg will be challenging and different than previous winters. Bethesda Mission has announced plans to limit the number of beds it will have available during the winter months for emergency shelter purposes. It has also announced that the temperature at which it will open beds for emergency shelter is 20° and below, except in extreme conditions such as significant snowfall and freezing rain or sleet. These changes in policy will allow Bethesda Mission to focus on its core mission of long term recovery. Bethesda Mission estimates that as a result of its new winter policy, the City of Harrisburg will need 40 - 50 extra beds for males in an emergency shelter setting for the winter of 2017-2018.

In response to this crisis, Downtown Daily Bread will be opening an emergency night shelter for men from December 1, 2017—March 31, 2018. There will be 30 beds available for homeless men who would otherwise be unsheltered.

Planning, programming, and fundraising for this shelter is supported by an ongoing collaboration between Downtown Daily Bread, and the Capital Area Coalition on Homelessness, Bethesda Mission, Susquehanna Harbor Safe Haven, Christian Churches United, and the YWCA of Greater Harrisburg.

Downtown Daily Bread seeks donations of $50,000 to assist with the cost of running this shelter, which will be staffed by professionals and volunteers. If you are interested in making a donation, visit www.downtowndailybread.org or send a check payable to Downtown Daily Bread, mailing address: 310 North Third Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101.

If you are interested in applying for an overnight position, volunteering, or discussing a donation, please call the church at 238-9304 x108.

Honoring Our Vietnam Veterans On Sunday, November 12, we will honor our Vietnam veterans in worship that morning. Our guest preacher is Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lawson, a chaplain in service to the Pennsylvania National Guard. Peter and I were in seminary together.

I look forward to his presence with us and our remembrance of those who served their country during that era.

On Saturday, November 11, Pine Street veterans and their friends and families are invited to a breakfast hosted by the Pine Street Men. Veterans from all branches of service are welcome. Plan to arrive by 8:00 a.m. for coffee and conversation. Breakfast will be served at 8:30 a.m. If you need a ride to the breakfast, call the church office at 717-238-9304, or email office@pinestreet.org.

The Enneagram Workshop Saturday, November 18, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The enneagram is an ancient system that can help us understand human behavior. Having been used by spiritual guides for over 2000 years, this system describes nine personality styles with many variations. Although it is first and foremost a journey of self-discovery, learning this model can also increase understanding and harmony in our family relationships and with our work colleagues. It explores what motivates us, what we tend to avoid, how we react to stress, and when we are at our best. It challenges us, shows us our strengths and weaknesses, and offers a path for personal and spiritual growth.

Our presenters for this workshop are Ellen Kanagy, LCSW, and Rhonda Myers, LPC. Both are therapists at Samaritan Counseling Center in Lancaster, PA. Both have studied and learned from the enneagram for many years and found it to be a helpful tool personally and relationally. Ellen is also a former staff member of Kairos: School of Spiritual Formation in Wernersville, PA, and a certified spiritual director through Kairos.

There is a $15.00 charge for the workshop. Register at the Welcome Center, or e-mail the church at office@pinestreet.org. Mail your check to Pine Street and annotate it “Enneagram Workshop.�

Gospel Overture: The Christmas Story According to Matthew Rev. Dr. Russell C. Sullivan, Jr., Pastor, Pine Street Presbyterian Church November 26 Themes found in the infancy narrative in Matthew are restated and reinforced throughout the body of the Gospel. As a result, the Christmas story can be understood as an overture to the Gospel, in much the same way that the music at the beginning of an opera introduces the themes that will be repeated in the body of the opera. Find out in Matthew’s version of Jesus’ birth what his main purpose is.

Grief Share: Surviving the Holidays This program is a warm, encouraging, and helpful event for anyone dealing with the pain of grief and loss during the upcoming holiday season. It will be led by the Rev. Heather Sigler, with support from Stephen Ministers and Deacons. Plan to join her on Monday, November 6, from 7:15 p.m. – 9:15 p.m.

The evening features a video presentation and group discussion. The video provides practical tips on dealing with emotions and expectations triggered by the approaching holiday season.

Conversation with others in the group will allow you to share (if you choose) how grief affects you during the holidays. You will receive a personal copy of the Holiday Survival Guide.

Holiday refreshments will be served!

Comments from previous participants attest to the significance of this program: “It gave me “permission” to take care of myself before all perceived social obligations.” “There was such a sense of hope and healing.”

This event is open to the community, so please share this information with your friends and family. Registration is not required but it would help us plan to know how many are coming. A sign-up sheet is available at the Welcome Center or you may call the church office at 717-2389304.

Stewardship Celebration and Consecration Sunday On November 19 Pine Street will hold its annual Stewardship Celebration and Consecration Sunday. The theme for this year is “Where is your Treasure?”20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:20-21). These familiar verses are part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, and our study of stewardship. This fall we will consider the “Treasure” portion of the trinity of stewardship: time, talent, and treasure.

As we prayerfully consider our plans to financially support Pine Street in the coming year, we need to consider where our treasure truly is found. According to the well-known biblical study source, Wikipedia, “This verse states that if one places one's treasure in heaven that is where one's heart or attention will be.” Does your checkbook reflect your faith?

This is the beginning of a yearlong focus on stewardship, not just of financial giving, but of our time and talents. The first part of the yearlong event is our annual stewardship campaign. and 2018 will be an exciting one for Pine Street as we begin to implement the new Strategic Plan recently adopted by Session. There will be challenges as we put our ideas into action. Pine Street will need each and every person to give of their time, talents and imagination, and finances to make the Strategic “PLAN” a reality.

This year there are three challenges to the congregation for the fall Stewardship Campaign: 1) Everyone increase your giving – even by a little bit 2) Let’s increase the number of pledging members and friends 3) Let’s increase the number of E-tithers The Stewardship Committee will let you know how we did early in 2018. On Consecration Sunday you will have opportunity to make your own estimate of giving for the coming year. The financial commitment you make will support the ministry and mission of Pine Street in the community and around the world. Mark your calendar now and be present on November 19 for worship and a special Stewardship Celebration Coffee Hour following the service.

Peacemaker Award Pine Street is a 2017 Award Recipient Pine Street recently received one of the 2017 Peacemaker in Our Midst awards from the World Affairs Council of Harrisburg. The award was presented on September 17 to representatives Barbara Taylor, Beth Alwine, and Stevi Sharp of Pine Street’s Extending God’s Love Core Team at the 2017 International Peace Symposium at Elizabethtown College. Pine Street was recognized because of its sponsorship through a portion of the 2016 Peacemaking Offering of the Peacemaker Scholarship program at Harrisburg High School. Since 1997, scholarships of $1,000 have been awarded to two or three senior students. Criteria used for selection include significant action in opposing bigotry and intolerance, and conflict resolution as an alternative to confrontation and violence. Thank you to Pine Street’s members for their continued support of the Peacemaking Offering.

Boyd Memorial Center Turns 100: 1916 – 2016 Part VIII – DDB and ALC Ministries to Harrisburg The October issue of Pine Street Life pointed out that the Downtown Daily Bread ministry began in 1983 and was housed in the lower level of the Boyd Memorial Center. During the first twelve years of its existence, DDB served primarily as a soup kitchen, providing hot and hearty meals on a daily basis at noontime to anyone who showed up hungry - no questions asked and no one turned away.

Elaine Strokoff was hired in June 1995 as Coordinator of DDB. She later became the Executive Director and soon extended the programs through the involvement of more churches and synagogues. In addition to serving as many as one hundred meals on a daily basis, the many clients could now receive free clothing, telephone and mail service, shower facilities, 55 lockers, and counseling. Portions of the Boyd building were redesigned and modernized in 2003-2004 to better accommodate DDB. An elevator was added to the building at this time and, in 2009, additional storage space was created to house food and supplies. Elaine served at Downtown Daily Bread for twenty-two years until the reorganization of DDB in December 2016.

In 2014, Session created a new mission for Pine Street, the Adult Learning Center, to function as a congregational education mission initiative. Computers, teaching materials, and equipment were purchased and housed on the first floor of Boyd Memorial Center. Tutoring and classes began on October 20, 2014. Pine Street Church partnered with Tri-County OIC in this endeavor.

Kathleen White is the Director of the Adult Learning Center, and instructors are volunteers from Pine Street Church and the Greater Harrisburg community.

Christmas Giving Tree 2017 Let the Light Shine The 2017 eclipse brought awe and amazement to Americans from coast to coast. The brilliance of the sun’s rays emerging from the passing of the moon exhibited the fine-tuning of God’s creation.

While the sun is the source of our natural light, it is Jesus who is the true light of the world, the light that is the source of life itself. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Christmas season brings us hope and happiness in a world where sometimes divisiveness and disasters seem to overshadow goodness. How can we shine a ray of hope on those that may find themselves in the dark?

The tradition of Pine Street’s Giving Tree gives us the opportunity. The needs are many. Within our community, these needs can be met directly.

Shawl Ministry God’s Comfort, God’s Healing, God’s Peace The following article will appear in the 2018 Presbytery Mission Yearbook. It was written by Lauren Logan.

On May 14, 2006, Shawl Ministry co-founder Deb Olson delivered a Minute for Mission at Pine Street that touched the hearts of congregants that morning. Those hearts were grieving the untimely death of a son and brother, the loss of a mother or father. Those hearts were celebrating the birth of a first child or grandchild, the settling of a young adult in her freshmen college dorm.

Those hearts were filled with fear and anticipation as surgery or a prognosis awaited. Those hearts were filled with hope for a mental or physical recovery, a new beginning. Those hearts began Pine Street’s Shawl Ministry, a monthly prayer gathering of women (and an occasional Continued on next page.

man) spanning the ages of 15 to 90 years young to create shawls, chemo caps, baptismal blankets, and scarves, that bring the wearer God’s comfort, God’s healing, and God’s peace which passes all our human understanding. The beautiful creations take countless hours to make, hours the creator often spends in prayer, needles and yarn in lively motion. As of this date, there are at least 420 recipients of these tokens of God’s love, and they are members of Pine Street, friends of members, people in the Central PA community, and individuals around the world whom we will never meet. Most of the time the recipient is known to us, their name and a prayer specific to their situation is written on a card that shares the blessing and identifies the creator. Sometimes we receive cards of thanks. Sometimes we hear nothing. Always though, we are a little changed, drawn closer to God’s vision, through this work.
