Spring is a time to celebrate new beginnings. As

the contemplative season of Lent prepares us for

the new life of Easter, we are called to give

thanks and share the Good News.

With that in mind, I welcome you to our newest

publication at Grace Church: Bread for the

Journey. It’s my hope this newsletter will

compliment our other event-centered publications by offering features

about the people, ministries and lives of our parish. It’s a chance for us to

go a little deeper, understand each other a little better and offer a little

nourishment as we travel on our spiritual journeys.

And like any good communications tool, the success of this publication will

depend on your input. We all have stories to tell. Please be generous in

sharing your ideas, your knowledge and your curiosity.

We’ll publish a new issue of Bread for the Journey with each new season

of the year. As the editor, I look forward to sharing your stories of Grace in

the world.

Blessings,

An Invitation to Church Membership

by the Rev. Todd McDowell

Membership in the Church is an important step to take

in one’s spiritual journey by intentionally living out our

lives in and through the community of believers. The

Church is the community of the New Covenant, the

People of God, and is described in the Bible as the

Body of which Jesus Christ is the Head and of which all

baptized persons are members.

The Church is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. It is

one, because it is one Body, under one Head, our Lord

Jesus Christ. It is holy, because the Holy Spirit dwells

in it, consecrates its members, and guides us to do

God’s work. It is catholic, because it proclaims the

whole Faith to all people, to the end of time. And the

Church is apostolic, because it continues in the

teaching and fellowship of the apostles and is sent to

carry out Christ’s mission to all people. (The Book of

Common Prayer p. 854.)

God has a mission and that mission has a church!

There are five marks that we use to live into our life of

mission:

• To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom

• To teach, baptize and nurture new believers

• To respond to human need by loving service

• To seek to transform unjust structures of society

• To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and

sustain and renew the life of the earth

We invite you to join with us in God’s mission and

become a member of Grace Episcopal Church! As

members of the Church our ministry is to represent

Christ and Christ’s Church; to bear witness to Christ

wherever we may be; and, according to the gifts given

each of us, to carry on Christ’s work of reconciliation in

the world; and to take our place in the life, worship,

and governance of the Church. As faithful Christians it

is our duty to follow Christ; to come together week by

week for corporate worship; and to work, pray, and

give for the spread of the kingdom of God.

If you would like to join with us on this exciting

journey of faith and take your place in God’s mission as

a member of Grace Church - we welcome you! One

becomes a member through Baptism. Holy Baptism

is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into

Christ’s Body the Church. The bond which God

establishes in Baptism is indissoluble. Therefore if

you are already baptized and want to live into

Christ’s mission here at Grace Church we welcome

and invite you to join us on one of several occasions

throughout the year when we recognize new

members on Sunday mornings. If you have not been

baptized by water in the name of the Father and of

the Son and of the Holy Spirit – we will commit to

teaching you our faith and nurturing you on the

journey.

It is an exciting time when one wants to commit to

joining a community of faith in order to live out

God’s mission in our world. We are so happy to

welcome you to Grace Episcopal Church. God has a

mission and the mission has a church!

Becoming a Member of Grace Church

Holy Baptism

If you are baptized, you are a member of the Church.

Grace offers the Sacrament of Baptism four times each

year: The Great Vigil of Easter, Pentecost, All Saints’

Day and The Baptism of Our Lord.

Confirmation

Making a mature, public commitment to Christ is

expected, but not required for membership in the

Episcopal Church. It is required to serve on Grace’s

Vestry or to be a Diocesan Convention Delegate. Grace

offers classes for youth (8th grade and older) and adults.

Membership Records

Grace maintains a membership database, which includes

contact and personal information for our members. We

can transfer your membership records from another

church or we can establish new records for you at Grace.

Attend and participate in the life of Grace Church!

Direct membership questions to Fr. Todd or

Shari Bonham, Director of Development

and Ministries Coordinator.


Grace members Richard and Kelly Eschenroeder, Corinne’s parents, recently visited

their daughter in South Korea. Here’s what

Kelly had to say about their trip:

It was quite an experience. It’s truly amazing to see your

“kid” negotiate a totally different culture and do just fine —

even though she doesn’t speak the language (although, I

will say she can understand a lot more than you would

think).

My favorite part was visiting her school, Eton House, and

meeting her students. Since I work at an elementary school

I found it quite interesting to see how a South Korean

school is set up. Her co-teacher, Jenny, is South Korean

and is darling and was a very helpful tour guide on several outings.

While we were there we toured the largest Palace in

Seoul, visited an authentic folk village, visited a CAT

CAFE (very weird but very fun!) and even attended a

baseball game between the Samsung Lions and the LG

Twins (all the baseball teams in Korea have corporate

sponsors).

Corinne has just re-signed with Eton House for a

second year so I think it’s safe to say that she’s having a

good time over there!

- Kelly Eschenroeder

No matter where you are on the earth, your location can be

mapped by using latitude and longitude coordinates. This system gives

us a sense of direction, and even a sense of connection to each other.

So when Grace member Corinne Eschenroeder accepted a job teaching in

Dongtan, South Korea after graduating from Webster University, she

found solace in the fact that her new home on the other side of the world

was on the same latitude as her home town of St. Louis: the 38th parallel

north. Corinne began blogging about her experiences. She named her

blog The 38th Parallel: Teaching and Travel in South Korea.

“I liked the idea that even though I am so far from home, I am on the

same latitude I've always been on,” Corinne said.

Grace in the World: Corinne Eschenroeder

The 38th Parallel: Teaching and Travel in South Korea

Full Circle: A Year in Korea

(posted January 26, 2015)

It seems crazy that just a year ago I was

nervously packing up my college apart-

ment and saying goodbye to that chapter

of my life. Thinking back to those

moments makes me realize how much I

have grown and changed over the course

of 2014. Deciding to accept a job halfway

around the world was terrifying and

spontaneous, and it came with no

guarantees or promises. Through fate or

destiny, I found a place to call my second

home. I have decided to accept another position at

Eton House for the upcoming school year. Come

March 2nd I will be the first Pre-Nursery teacher

Eton House Dongtan has ever had. Though I am

nervous and anxious about changing grade levels just

as I was finding my niche in Pre-K,

I am comforted by the fact that I am

now a part of a supportive and loving

community here. Not only have I

checked off my first year of teaching,

but I have survived and flourished in

my first year living abroad. Now I can

truly see the draw of living and

working in a country different from

your own. There is so much to be seen

and learned, not only about the new

country and culture, but about

yourself.

As excited as I am to stay a second year here in

Korea, I'm sad to know that I won't get to see my

home for another long time, possibly a whole year. I

will be using my holidays to travel around Asia. I'll be

in Guam for Buddha's birthday in May, Hong Kong

for a week in August and lounging on a beach in

Boracay, Philippines at the end of September. 2015 is

shaping up to be a fabulous year of travel! As always,

I welcome anyone who would like to come visit

Korea and me. I even have an extra guest bed now!

It will be sad to see some familiar faces leave

Dongtan, but I'm excited to see who I meet in the

new school year. I don't know how much time I will

have to update my blog in the near future as I

prepare to teach a new grade level (I know I've been

slacking lately...) but I hope to still update

occasionally.

Recently, I went to Seoul to be tourist for the day. A

year ago when I arrived in Korea I went to see Seoul

Tower, but I didn't make it to the top of the tower

itself. This time I went all the way to the top and saw

Seoul from above. We really lucked out with a clear

day and no lines for the cable car and elevator. It

was truly a beautiful view and something I will

remember for the rest of my life.

Korea was the best decision I ever made. I can't

imagine what this year has in store for me, but I'm

ready to experience it all!

Annyeonghaseyo!

Grace in Art: A Closer Look at “The Bean”

Visual arts give us the opportunity to experience the

Sacred in new and beautiful ways. Grace Church is

blessed to house many works of art within our walls.

Perhaps the most noticeable piece is the copper

sculpture that graces our sanctuary, often referred to

as The Kidney Bean.

Love it or hate it -- The Bean is worth looking at

more closely. The sculpture was created by artist

Hillis Arnold and installed at Grace Church in 1965.

Arnold taught sculpture and ceramics at Monticello

College (now Lewis and Clark College) in Godfrey, IL

and was renowned for his work in religious and

symbolic art. Arnold lost his hearing at the age of six

months due to spinal meningitis.

The piece was commissioned by Grace member

Eleanor Harford, in memory of the life of her

husband Edwin M. Harford (1879-1964).

The artist collaborated with then-rector, the Rev.

Arthur Steideman, to write an interpretation of the

sculpture, which we are including in this article.

After reading this explanation, we encourage you to

walk up to the altar and take an up-close and

personal look at The Bean. Your opinion of this art

may change when you look at the detail and under-

stand the story. This written interpretation is also

hanging in a frame directly behind the reredos (wall

behind the altar).

The Bible verses used to guide the artist in

arriving at this artistic creation are:

Jesus said, "I am the bread of life; he who

comes to me shall not hunger, and he who

believes in me shall never thirst." John 6:35

* * *

Jesus said, "I am the vine, you are

the branches." John 15:5

The three units of this sculpture are:

1) the bread and the wine

representing Jesus Christ,

2) the family relationship strengthened by

the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove and,

3) the brotherhood of man under the fatherhood

of God as symbolized by the eye.


The center subject, the Holy Communion, repre-

senting Jesus Christ, is the largest in scale and is the

most prominent of

the sculpture. The

chalice is large, as I

meant for it to be,

and the bottom

portion appears to

be absorbed by the

vine and its

branches. (Many individuals have thought at first

glance that the chalice was a fish, which is also a

symbol for Christ. The five Greek letters that spell

"fish" are the initial letters of the five words, "Jesus

Christ God's Son Saviour.") The broken loaf and bits

of bread together with the chalice of wine are

constant reminders that we worship a Lord whose

body was broken and whose blood was shed for all

mankind, and that we who claim to be His followers

are invited to share in His life, to take His life into

ourselves and share both the joy and the suffering

that was His. The man on the Epistle side bows in

humility because of his unworthiness to receive the

most gracious gift. The woman on the Gospel side is

filled with rapture and joy as she participates in the

Eucharist (Thanksgiving).

The family unit at the extreme right is guarded

by the Holy Spirit symbolized by the hovering dove

above. The rays of light from the beak of the dove lead

to the Holy Bible in the

hands of the father of

the family. The dove

has long been a symbol

of the Holy Spirit as

well as purity and

peace. Christian educa-

tion in this family is of

primary importance. In

the background you

will notice a sketch of

the modern home of

today.

The unit on the

extreme left represents

the brotherhood of man

under the ever-present

God symbolized by the

eye, but appearing some-

what like the Sun. Many

scriptural references are

made to the Eye of God

and it has come to

symbolize the all-knowing

and immanent nature of

God. One individual in this group is trying to be a

Good Samaritan to his fallen brother and is encour-

aging him to take his rightful place within the circle.

The flow of the pattern of arms of these men lead to

the symbol of Christ in the center panel. In the back-

ground you will notice a sketch of the present Grace

Church.

Between the center panel and the right hand

panel you will notice two hands plucking a leaf.

This is my symbol of the confirmand, having taken

upon himself the vows made for

him at his Baptism, with a

rudimentary knowledge of God

but through the cultivation of

years of growth, symbolized by

the successive obstacles in the

terrain, he becomes a fruitful

Christian, symbolized by the

flower at the top.

The background to the left of

the center panel depicts the vine

in fruition with the flowers at the

top representing faith and hope.

The vine which has its roots in the

sacrifice of our Lord

encompasses the entire sculpture

to insure that none for who Christ

died might be lost.

Outreach at Grace: Diocesan Task Force for the Hungry


By Brian Roche

As Grace’s representative on the

Diocesan Task Force for the

Hungry since 2006, and Chair of

the organization since 2011, it is

my pleasure to provide some

information about this group.

History of the Task Force

Created in 1986 as a committee of

the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri,

the Task Force for the Hungry

speaks and acts on behalf of

hungry people, funds food

ministries, raises awareness about

hunger and poverty issues, and

serves as a resource to food

ministries within the Diocese. The

food pantries and projects we

support operate on a shoestring,

but are on the front lines in

fighting hunger and homelessness.

These pantries know where the

hungry are. Our work is to support

these groups by providing money

that helps keep them viable. We

help make it possible for them to

do their job.

Planning for the future

There is no better way to

demonstrate the Diocese’s identity

of “Deep in Faith, Deep in

Humanity” than by feeding the

hungry. Our long range plans are

to continue to meet the funding

needs of faith-based food pantries

located within the boundaries of

the Diocese. We want to maintain

donations to meet the need

created by the working poor’s

increasing use of food pantries.

We would also

like to grow

membership of

the Task Force

to include

representatives

from additional

Episcopal

churches in the

Diocese of

Missouri that

participate in

food programs.

The number of

people served by the six pantries

we funded in 2014, which are

located in the city of St. Louis,

north St. Louis County, and

Poplar Bluff, was roughly 35,000.

Sharing our generosity

Grace has long been a generous

benefactor of the Task Force’s

efforts, since 2009 contributing a

total of nearly $18,000. While

some of that is directly from a

yearly grant from Grace’s

Outreach Committee, the vast

majority is from monthly

individual donations.

For those of you who receive

offering envelopes in the mail, you

are likely familiar with the white

envelopes with the red borders.

The money inserted in those

envelopes and placed in the

offering plate goes directly to the

Task Force for the Hungry, and,

in turn, directly to help feed

others.

I encourage you to consider a

donation to the Task Force. Your

money will go directly towards

feeding those within our Diocese

that are less fortunate.

Representing Grace Church

As mentioned previously, this will

be my tenth year representing

Grace on the Task Force. It will also

be my last, as it is time to turn over

the reins to somebody else within

our parish. While I have committed

to serving through 2015, we will

need a new representative from

Grace beginning in 2016. A current

member will become the Chair. You

would just need to be a representa-

tive, in order to have a say in how

Grace’s donations are allocated. If

you have interest in serving in this

rewarding role, which mainly

involves attending four, one-hour

meetings per year, please let me

know.

Brian Roche has been a member at Grace since 2005. He lives in

Kirkwood with his wife Tina and daughter Megan. He works as a

Product Manager for Express Scripts. Contact Brian at

brian.roche@sbcglobal. net.


by Chris Kurth

The Outreach Committee has cooked up a relation-

ship with a bakery in Ferguson, Missouri to provide

cookies on a monthly basis to the Trinity Hot Lunch

program.

Vince and Michele Nicosia, co-chairs of Grace’s

Outreach Committee, devised a proposal to fund a

monthly purchase of 110 cookies from Cakes by Nette

for each second Sunday of the month Hot Lunch

meal at Trinity Episcopal Church.

The meal is cooked by Chris Kurth and served by

additional Grace volunteers. It

typically features pork loin, mashed

potatoes, a green vegetable and a

couple of cookies for dessert. And

now our usual Shop ‘n Save cookies

will be replaced with delicious

Strawberry White Chocolate Chip

cookies from the Ferguson bakery.

Supporting Business in Ferguson

Natalie “Nette” Dubose had opened

her long-dreamed-about bakery a

month before the August riots in

Ferguson. Looters vandalized her

newly opened store. Cakes By Nette

had its main windows smashed and

bakery damaged. As a new small

business owner, Nette found herself

having to make repairs and trying to

recapture lost business. She was featured on a na-

tional NBC news segment and also benefited from a

Gofundme account started by a customer/friend.

Grace’s Outreach Committee voted to provide $900

annually towards substituting the Ferguson bakery

cookies in place of Shop ’n Save’s generic sandwich

cookies. By funding the cookie purchase, a new small

business owner gets a stable monthly account and

clients of Trinity Hot Lunch get a better tasting

cookie. An appetizing combination!

Raising Dough for Mission Trip Spring time means SPROG time

Grace Church is pleased to once again host the

SPROG summer camp. This program is for children

of the Kirkwood School District who are in need of

additional educational opportunities.

Throughout the month of May, we will be collecting

school and craft supplies for the students. Our goal is

to collect enough of each item below to supply 100

students. All are available at your local Dollar Store:

1 composition book

8 pencils

1 box of 24 crayons

1 box of 8 markers

1 bottle of white glue

1 plastic pencil box or zip pouch

Cash contributions are also welcome. For more

information about this community program, visit

www.sproginc.org.

The January 31 Elegant Italian Dinner raised nearly $5,000 for our 20th annual Youth Mission Trip.

Youth members served the dinner, which included

homemade lasagna, salad and desserts. A silent

auction and raffles offered additional fun ways for

our generous members to support our youth.

Our missioners will spend the week of June 7 - 13 in

Dodge County, Wisconsin, working with Habitat for

Humanity. Thank you for your support!


Connecting with the Divine through Centering Prayer

Shirley Dowdy describes Centering

Prayer as a method to prepare your-

self for the gift of contemplation, or

resting in God without words. She is

the co-coordinator of Contempla-

tive Outreach of St. Louis (COSTL),

which is based inside Grace Church.

Although the practice of Centering

Prayer may seem a bit mysterious to some, Shirley

says it’s really just a matter of training your brain.

“God touches us through very human experiences.

We have to train our brain to slow down; to move

into a very peaceful state where you are very aware of

the presence of God. We are ready if God chooses to

make the divine presence known.”

COSTL offers workshops and retreats to teach people

how to use the Centering Prayer Method. Many of the

workshops are held at Grace Church and are open to

everyone. After teaching the method, the group

supports individuals in their practice. COSTL has 23

prayer groups that meet throughout the St. Louis

metro area. Some meet in churches, others in private

homes. People of all Christian denominations and

multiple faiths use Centering Prayer as part of their

spiritual journey.

“It starts with the hunger we all have for God -- that

hole in us that isn’t satisfied by anything else,”

Shirley commented. “If you want to deepen your

relationship with God, that’s what Centering Prayer

is all about.”

Contemplative Outreach of St. Louis moved into

offices at Grace Church in 2013 and has been serving

the contemplative community in Eastern Missouri

and Southern Illinois since 1989. The group is a

chapter of Contemplative Outreach, Ltd., an interna-

tional spiritual network with offices in Butler, New

Jersey. Contemplative Outreach was founded in 1984

by Fr. Thomas Keating, a Trappist monk who wanted

to bring the practice of Centering Prayer to more

people.

“The fundamental purpose of

prayer, including the prayer of

petition, is not to get some-

thing from God, or to change

God, but to change ourselves,”

Fr. Keating said in The Heart

of the World in 1997.

“We pray in order to give

ourselves to God.”

“I have times when I am able to move into that very quiet space, that just kind of opens up.

You know that God is there holding you in existence, without your brain rationalizing it.

It’s not a feeling; it’s a deep understanding of your connection with the divine.”

- Shirley Dowdy

Fr. Thomas Keating, the founder

of Contemplative Outreach

Guidelines of Centering Prayer

1. Choose a sacred word as the symbol of your intention to consent to God’s presence and action within.

2. Sitting comfortably and with eyes closed, settle briefly, and silently introduce the sacred word as the

symbol of your consent to God’s presence and action within.

3. When engaged with your thoughts, return ever-so-gently to the sacred word.

4. At the end of the prayer period, remain in silence with eyes closed for a couple of minutes.

If you would like to learn more about Centering Prayer or find dates for upcoming events, visit COSTL’s website at

http://www.centeringprayerstl.org, call 314-918-8288, or watch for announcements in Grace’s website and

weekly publications.

Extending Ministry at Grace

The Rev. Virginia Bennett has

been assisting us at Grace Church

for the past year-and-a-half with

occasional preaching and

teaching duties. As of March 1,

Mother Bennett is officially on

our staff with quarter-time, flexible hours.

“I am very excited and blessed to have her sharing in

God's ministry with us at Grace,” said the Rev. Todd

McDowell, Grace’s rector.

Mother Ginny’s office is located next to Fr. Todd’s

office. She is available by appointment to meet

parishioners’ needs. On Sundays she will share in

the presiding, preaching and teaching.

By Bob Schaefer

Stewardship is the “S” word to many

Episcopalians. When most people think

about stewardship and how the word is

spelled, they would start with a capital

“S” with two vertical lines through it –

the dollar sign.

It’s true that many stewardship programs

center on questions like how much do we

need to meet the budget, how big a shortfall will

there be if people don’t increase their pledges, can we

afford to increase the salary of our staff?

So, is stewardship about money? Of course, steward-

ship is about money because money is such a power-

ful influence in our lives. So, if we are talking about

stewardship, we have to talk about money, but we

don’t have to start there – or end there.

Stewardship is also about ownership and control.

The Responsibility of Stewardship

What we have belongs to God, not us.

What we have is only under our control

for a time.

This puts us in a position of being

stewards. Stewardship is being in charge

of something that belongs to someone

else. It implies accountability to the true

owner of what we do with what we are in

charge of.

Jesus taught in many parables that we are

responsible to God for our use of what we are in

charge of. He also taught that we owe the owner

(God) a return on what has been assigned to us.

So, perhaps we can define Christian Stewardship in

the following way: it is caring for everything we have,

knowing it does not belong to us. All is a gift, given to

us to care for, to leave better than we found it.

On January 25 we were pleased to help Mother

Ginny celebrate the 25th anniversary of her

ordination to the priesthood.

“Your words of congratulations, the beautiful roses

and the cake, were all completely unexpected but

deeply appreciated by me,” Mother Ginny said.

“Since I have been

with you such a

short time I felt

embarrassed that

you would

acknowledge it at

all, so I want you to

know how grateful I

am for your

kindness and

generosity.”
