“Gah Gah” for Mutations of Life

Beth Fultz, Director of Christian Education

mu-ta-tion - noun http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mutation

According to the online dictionary resource, Merriam-Webster, the second definition of mu-ta-tion is “a

new form of something that has changed”. So perfect a definition for use in my life now as a new mother

-in-law, a new grandmother - I am too young (okay, not really!) - and well into my years here at St.

Stephen. You have allowed me to gum up the works at St. Stephen now for eight and one/half years and

I’m ready for the mutations at work; and I don’t mean something amuk with Mark, Eddie, Fritz, or any

volunteers.

My grandchild, Miss Kennedi, aged 8 months, is babbling like a flooded brook. I fully expect her to start

singing the hymns with me in church as she warms up her vocal chords

quite perceptively each time we praise in song. I’m ready for these muta-

tions in her life and in mine. What a joy, grandchildren! Son-in-law, Ste-

ven, is delightfully in love with my eldest daughter, Emily, and I am as-

sured that their life together is solid and needing NOT my intervention and

guidance and interference. What a mutation from the normal me!

As for St. Stephen Presbyterian Church, I am ready to mix it up and rattle the cages! The youth chose

their location choices for a mission trip! I’m following a rabbit down a hole in Nashville per their choice

of towns; and letters are being sent to Atlanta looking for another clue as to where we’re headed this

summer. The Youth are now helping with suggestions for Activities on Sunday nights including the Bur-

rito Project and a Ping Pong Tournament. Cathy Corder is anchoring the theme for a new Vacation Bi-

ble School curriculum. And with a little help from me, we’ll add some developmentally appropriate ac-

tivities for all the ages served this summer. Oh, the theme? Jesus healing the handicapped: the blind,

the deaf, the lame. We will extend it into the real world and include lots of handicappable activities for

all children so that we understand limitations and infinite possibilities when life hands one a mutation.

Saints Alive, what a crew of organizing fiends! Dramatic changes are coming due to the daring board of

individuals who met and want MORE opportunities for Fellowship! (see article within the Sentinel)

Saints Alive is now planned every month in 2014 including the summer and 2 weeks earlier in November

and December; there are also 5 planned day excursions in and around North Texas!

The Christian Education Committee wants to fully hot wire the Parish Hall and Youth Basement so that

we can use the wi-fi in the entire Education Building. We also want to invite special guests during the

Sunday School hour monthly to different Sunday School Classes on a variety of topics as Dr. Ariel

Feldman, professor at Brite, bringing King David to life. Maybe we’ll bring in speakers on financial is-

sues and medical insurance; over-scheduling our lives and how to stop it; theological ideas of import;

maybe an author whose books are of great interest. We’ll see ...that is being investigated now.

Who knows where this will end. Maybe I will take everything out of my office and just put back 1/10 of

what is there. Don’t count on that action, but it is worth mentioning just in case my risk taking goes that

far. Change, mutation. What’s there to be scared of? It’s time to experiment and I’m ready. I’m with

Kennedi; help me grow with her changes as she succeeds or fails with glee and abandon. I’m Gah Gah

for my grandchild and her entry into toddler hood. I’m also agog for St. Stephen Presbyterian Church

and the possibilities to come! Join me in this abandon. One mutation with a little sugar, please!

Help SSPC Help Military Vets!

Great Opportunity, we need you “now,

now, now”!

by Richard Parr

Samaritan House is a residential facility which provides a

home and services to people who are affected by HIV/AIDS

and have been unable to find residence elsewhere. The resi-

dents we serve live in a single room occupancy facility and

take their meals in a common dining room. St. Stephen has

been a member of the Samaritan House Supper Club for more

than a dozen years, preparing, serving, and cleaning up after

the evening meal on the third Friday of each month. Volun-

teers are needed to plan, prepare, and/or serve one meal each

month. Time commitment is flexible except for serving the

meal which requires being at Samaritan House from 4:45 p.m.

to 6:45 p.m. any given third Friday.

For more information and to sign up to help, contact Laurie

Sandefur at [email protected] or by phone 817-475-

serve in a much needed hospitality ministry? The SSPC Mis-

sion Committee needs your help at the new, state-of-art, VA

outpatient health center serving vets from Tarrant and 15 sur-

rounding counties down the road from church, at 2201 SE

Loop 820 (near the intersection of I-35, by the Tarrant County

Community College campus). Provide coffee, breakfast pas-

tries and cookies, a kind face and a good word, to vets in the

waiting area at the Center weekly, on Tuesday, Thursday or

Friday afternoons. You bring the baked goods and your

charming self, the VA provides the coffee. We need volun-

teers to provide baked goods, and 2-3 folks to serve coffee and

hospitality for morning and afternoon shifts. The VA and vets

they serve need us "yesterday"!

"Volunteers requested for upcoming national veterans' salute

February 10-14, bake sale March 10 and Independence Day

Welcome to our new members:

Mike and Mary Witt!! Fort Worth natives Mike & Mary Witt joined St. Stephen in

December 2013, after being regular visitors for several months.

While attending another Presbyterian church in the area, they

observed, and were impressed with our congregation's focus on

Missions and Community service. When a decision was made

to seek a new church home, St. Stephen was one of the first ser-

vices they attended. According to Mary, "we were made to feel

as if we had been members for years."

Both Mike and Mary are graduates of Texas Wesleyan Univer-

sity. Their sons Payton and Benton are enrolled at the Univer-

sity of Oklahoma and Tarleton State, respectively. Being some-

what empty nesters, the Witts have noticed that their two golden

retrievers have not been reluctant about occupying all available

space in their Richland Hills home.

Clued in by his email name "Angler", it's understandable that

Mike likes to take several trips a year to his favorite fishing spot,

the San Juan River. Both love traveling, both stateside and

abroad.

Mary remarks that she is passionate about interior design. Our

projects await her magic touch.

In the community, they have both served on the board of Cor-

nerstone Assistance Network which serves the homeless and

families in Tarrant County who are struggling with poverty.

Mike is a long-time employee of Fiserv, a global banking soft-

ware and financial service provider based in Milwaukee. Mary

works for LivingStone University Partners, a non-profit fund-

raising entity for LivingStone International University in

Uganda. Prior to that, she worked at Fort Worth Christian

School as Director of Communications and Special Events.

Regulars at the 11:00 a.m. service, please welcome the Witts

with your introductions!

Souper Bowl of Caring

Super Bowl Sunday,

February 2nd,

Both Services

Teens all over America are raising funds

to fill Food Banks via the tradition called “Souper Bowl of Car-

ing” in each town and city. St. Stephen has a long tradition of

doing so on Super Bowl Sunday. Our sales pitch always asks

you to choose between the Super Bowl teams and voting in dol-

lars for the team of your choice. Last year we succeeded in

giving over $600 to the Food Bank. Will you consider donating

some food funds or cans of food in honor two vying teams?

Who will it be? Seattle? Denver? San Francisco?

New England?

“Dear Becky Evans, PCHAS, and All the

Families Who Contributed to Our Special

Christmas, I can’t thank you enough for the

wonderful gifts that my children received

this year. Without your generosity I cannot

imagine how we could have made everything so special. May

God bless you all for all you do.” Thank You! A Very

Grateful Grandmother

“Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,

I'm sending a heartfelt "Thank you" for all the beautiful gifts

you sent to my family for Christmas. We were all very touched

by your thoughtfulness & generosity. Every year as the holiday

season approaches, I say to myself, "it's just going to be about

You this year, Lord. It's Your Birthday". And every year, the

Lord insists on blessing me & my family. Throughout the

whole year, He always lets me know that He's watching, & He

cares. The blessings always come through His people; people

like you, who love Our Lord Jesus. So many times over the

years, the Lord has proven to me that no matter how many trials

we may face in this life, His blessings never cease, & they far

outweigh the times of trouble. Lamentations 3:21-23 describes

this so beautifully: " But in my mind I keep returning to some-

thing, something that gives me hope--that the grace of the Lord

is never exhausted, and His compassion never ends. They are

renewed each and every morning, so great is His faithfulness!"

May the Lord's abundant blessings be with you all throughout

the coming new year. Sincerely, Charla Marbut “

“Thank you for all the wonderful gifts that u so kindly sent me.

Im ten years old and I loved everything. Im very glad that I

have all those things. The dress the game and skipbo but I cant

forget the bracelets. I played skipbo with my mom already and

it was very fun. I wear the bracelets all the time. You should

have seen my reaction when I saw the gifts in the bag. Was so

happy. Charla’s granddaughter Isabella” [sic]
