July 2011 Newsletter

First Presbyterian Church + Oxford, Mississippi First Press an online newsletter July, 2011 On May 28 through June 3, eleven members of our congregation traveled to southern Arizona and northern Mexico to participate in a BorderLinks educational delegation. We spent two and a half days south of the border in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico visiting people in homes, factories, churches and community centers. In Mexico we stayed at El Hogar de Esperanza y Paz (the Home of Hope and Peace), a community center that provides a nutritious lunch for children from the most impoverished families in the neighborhood, offers adult education classes, operates a women’s artisan cooperative, and organizes educational vacation camps for children. We had fun playing with the children. While in Arizona, we visited Southside Presbyterian Church, spoke with a young man who had been detained for six months, visited Immigration Customs Enforcement (I.C.E) officers, volunteered with Humane Borders and watched seventy five migrants sentenced in federal court. Our group, pictured here, stands in front of Sol de Justicia Presbyterian Church in Nogales. At the far left is Scott Nicholson, our BorderLinks tour leader, standing next to Dr. Jorge Pazos Aragón, the Pastor of Sol de Justicia. Please note the rest of the participants from Oxford and ask one of them in the next few weeks to tell you a story about the trip.  Worship Lectionary Texts for July July 3 - Genesis 24:34-38, 42-49, 58-67; Psalm 45:10-17 or S. of Solomon 2:8-13; Romans 7:15-25a; Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30 July 10 - Genesis 25:19-34; Psalm 119:105-112; Romans 8:1-11; Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 July 17 - Genesis 28:10-19a; Psalm 139:1-12, 23-24; Romans 8:12-25; Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 July 24 - Genesis 29:15-28; Psalm 105:1-11, 45b or Psalm 128; Romans 8:26-39 Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52b July 31 - Genesis 32:22-31; Psalm 17:1-7, 15; Romans 9:1-5; Matthew 14:13-21 No Sunday School 10:00 am - Worship with communion 11:00 am - Light lunch (except holidays) 2  Summary of the Stated Session Meeting, June 20, 2011 The Session of First Presbyterian Church met on Monday, June 20, 2011 at 5:30 pm in the Session Room.

Soloists will provide music for worship during July. I want to express my gratitude to each member of the Chancel Choir for their dedication and hard work this past year. The Chancel Choir offers inspiring music for worship Sunday after Sunday and great concerts for the church and community. I hope you will also share your appreciation with them. The last week of June, I will be in Greensboro, NC for the American Guild of Organists regional convention. This is a continuing education event, with numerous workshops offered in addition to the opportunity to hear great organists and great organs.

Members made several trips to Haiti working primarily at Hospital Ste. Croix, a community hospital jointly supported by the PCUSA and the Haitian Episcopal Church. Since the earthquake in January 2010, the epicenter of which happened to be Leogane, there has been a renewed interest in re-connecting with the Haitian community. To that end, a group of approximately twenty FPC members will travel to Leogane this Thanksgiving. Volunteers will be working at a local elementary school, a hospital, and an orphanage. Check out this column in the next several months to learn more of these different programs and ways in which YOU can participate! Henri Christophe School is an elementary school located in the small village of Darbonne, several miles from Leogane. The school was destroyed by the earthquake, but has been rebuilt on two acres donated by the school superintendent, Abelard Xavier. There are now 125 students in grades K-6, attending classes September through May. During our visit this fall, members from FPC will be working with the teachers and students. Abelard has begun the construction of a six bedroom guest house for volunteers, as the school continues to grow. You may go to haitipartners.org and type “henri christophe” in the search box for the latest updates and videos from the school. In returning to Haiti, our intent is not only to lend assistance on the ground, but to build an enduring partnership that will be mutually beneficial to all. In the coming months there will be opportunities for anyone to participate in the process. If you have specific questions, please contact Jonathan Scanlon, Keith Hayward, or Greg Patton.

Dear Presbyterian Family, My horoscope has been repeatedly predicting this was going to be a very lucky year for me. I couldn't imagine how "lucky" until I experienced a major miracle on May 23. Acute heart attack symptoms occurred on a garden tour with a nurse friend who immediately took me for medical attention. A blocked artery was flushed, stent inserted, and I'm better than new. What a blessing your gifts of love and prayers have been! I treasure you!!! Ann O'Dell If you have good news to share, please let us know! 14  First Presbyterian Church Our town, Oxford, Mississippi, was incorporated in May, 1837; and within two months, Oxford Presbyterians planted that small seed of faith. We might liken their faith to a grain of mustard seed. In Matthew, Chapters 8 and 17, Jesus is concerned about the disciples’ lack of faith. Jesus tells us that even if our faith is small – even the size of a mustard seed – it can grow. These early Oxford settlers wanted to establish a Presbyterian Church where their faith could grow… Starting with the following words, First Presbyterian Church of Oxford, Mississippi, was established on Saturday, July 15, 1837: “Agreeably to a notice previously given, a meeting was held in this place on Saturday the 15th day of July, A.D. 1837 for the purpose of organizing a Presbyterian Church.” On that Sunday a sermon was delivered by Mr. Daniel L. Gray who read from 1 Kings 18:21. So, with these blessings, the Oxford Presbyterian Church became one of the first to organize ministry in our newly chartered Town of Oxford. Those grains of mustard seeds – the smallest of all the seeds on earth – began to grow. In Mark 4:31 – 32, we learn that when this smallest of seed is sown, it grows to become “….the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.” (NRSV) This month we are ready to begin celebrating the 175th anniversary year of Oxford’s First Presbyterian Church. That tiny seed has indeed become the greatest of branches, serving as a nesting place for our community of believers. We have a lot to celebrate, including the future of our church. Become involved with us as we begin our year of celebration. Our theme of FAITH – PRAYER – CELEBRATION (FPC) is a call to all of us to prayerfully consider how our faith can grow during this 175th anniversary year of celebration. Please share this time with us, throughout the July, 2011 – July, 2012 year of recognition, ending with a Church Banquet on Saturday, July, 14, 2012, at the Inn at Ole Miss and a Birthday party on Sunday, July 15, 2012, at First Presbyterian Church. Thank you for allowing me to Chair our 175th Anniversary celebrations. I am honored that our pastor John Semmes has asked me to coordinate our efforts. I am also overwhelmed by the talents of our church family. Please consider sharing your talents in some way with all of us. We look forward to celebrating with you. In Faith – Prayer – Celebration, Carole B. Haney, Chair 175th Anniversary Committee 15  Your photos, clippings and artistic renderings of First Presbyterian Church from 1837 until the present are requested. The 175th Anniversary Steering Committee is preparing many informative and useful items for you during the year of celebration from July, 2011July, 2012. We need your help in locating as many photos, articles, clippings, celebratory programs and bulletins, videos and artistic renderings as possible. Anything you are willing to share will be copied and/or safely displayed and returned to you. You may contact LuAnn Smith at 234-8224, or luannsmith@gmail.com, or drop your items off at the church office. Be sure to label your items to the attention of LuAnn Smith or Max Williams and include your name so that they can be returned to you. Watch for more information to follow in future editions of First Press. Each month in our FPC newsletter, we will enjoy special celebratory words from members of our church. Some writers will be children; others may be members who are 6th and 7th generation FPC family; and others may be members who share their thoughts about our church. I hope you will take time to enjoy these words of celebration. For July, 2011, the first installment of our words of faith are from Mrs. Lynton Dilley, who has been a member of our church since 1956. 16  Lynton Dilley’s Presbyterian Life in Oxford Mississippi Approximately seven years ago I stood before the congregation of this church and delivered much the same message as written below. However, on that particular Sunday it was on behalf of stewardship. For this occasion, I have attempted to describe how I have used my gifts and abilities that the church has provided for me from 1958 to the present time. In 1956, the Dilley family (Norman, Lynton, Larry-age 6, Jim-age 7 months) moved to Oxford, Mississippi, and immediately became involved in activities at First Presbyterian Church. As a couple, we were active in the Couple’s Club which met monthly in the church basement for dinner (provided by the University of Mississippi Catering Service) and fellowship. I became a member of the Lula Gregory Circle. The next year the Circle split into two groups; the second group became Circle Seven and I became its first leader. A few years later, the Circle was re-named Carroll Barr after her death. In May 1958, our third son, John, was born. Three months later my husband died. This church provided critical support to get me through a very difficult time. Members of the congregation rocked my baby, provided activities for the two older children, fed us numerous meals, and found good household help for us so I could go to work. I felt such warmth and compassion that I said to myself, “This is the church for us.” That is why I became a member of this church. In these intervening years, I have found this church body to be a place of encouragement for it has given me the opportunity to use what gifts and abilities I have. In the area of education, I taught Vacation Bible School and Sunday School. I also served as assistant superintendent and superintendent of Sunday School. During that time, with the assistance of the teachers, we produced a monthly Sunday School newsletter. In church government I have served as deacon after which I was elected elder and served on the Session at various times. As chairman of the Christian Education Committee, the members of the committee wrote a curriculum guide for the Sunday School teachers which was used for a number of years. As chairman of the Witness Committee, I served on the Interfaith Compassion Ministry Board in its early years. Frequently, I have served on various other committees such as Long Range Planning for sanctuary and chancel renovations, building of the Fellowship Hall, and consultant for the design of the previous playground. Additionally, I occasionally served as liturgist for Sunday morning worship service. More recently, I was the leader of the Over 55/VIP group for several years and also transported the elderly to church when needed. Currently, I am a member of the Personnel Ministry Team. I give credit to this church for the Christian nurturing of my children and for the love and support it gives to all as well as to those in special time of great need. Indeed, I have gained more than I have given. Lynton Dilley P. S. For the second time in my church life at First Presbyterian I have felt that same warmth and compassion that was given to me fifty-three years ago. In early April of this year after a misstep resulting in a somewhat serious fall, this church immediately came to my rescue. With prayers, cards, food, flowers, and calls, I was able to resume my regular activity in a relatively short period of time. My thanks to you all and may God be with you always. 17  18  By Porter Callery 19  Memorials and Honoraria ~ with gratitude for contributions to First Presbyterian Church ~ In Memory Of: Bill Russell Ron Partridge Mary Sims Rena Everett Kay and Larry Tyler Yung and Dean Chow Dorothy and Howard Davidson Joyce and Bob McCord Mary and Roger Kuhnle Lynton Dilley Marjorie Lewis Circle Nila and Max Williams Dr. and Mrs. Andrew Fox Betty and George Abdo Mary Edith and George Walker Mary Edith and George Walker Mrs. Will Hickman Dr. and Mrs. Andrew Fox Marjorie and Roy Selvidge Becky and Joe Murphey Ben Crawford Nancy and Bill Rogers Mary Sims George Everett Sue and Charles Treas Kay and Larry Tyler Mr. and Mrs. Abbott Best Emily and Don Newcomb Mary Edith and George Walker Marty and Steve Mauldin Nancy and Don Giles Yung and Dean Chow Lynton Dilley The Randles Bob and Jean Allen Young Becky and Joe Murphey Clayton Allen Lemma and Marvin Vernon Virginia McMurray Mary Edith and George Walker Marjorie Lewis Circle Virginia and Ben Smith Marjorie and Roy Selvidge Kathleen Wickham Nila and Max Williams Lynton Dilley Tommy Elliott Kim Hale Marjorie and Roy Selvidge Mari and Roger Kuhnle Nancy and Don Giles Nila and Max Williams Edwin Flautt Mary Kay and Les McDowell Marjorie and Roy Selvidge Mrs. Will Hickman Margaret Partridge Mr. and Mrs. William F.
