Saturday, March 5, 2011,
9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Registration begins at 8:30)
St. Martin’s, Ellisville.
Not to be missed is this year’s annual Leadership Conference for clergy and lay members of the diocese on March 5th. This year the diocesan Standing Committee is organizing the conference around the the theme Being Church in the 21st Century.
Keynote and lead presenter will be Sabine McDowell. In addition to creating http://ourgreenchoices.com where she writes about the simple steps that churches, schools, and other nonprofit organizations can take to save energy and save emissions, Sabine is a member of the US Green Building Council (USGBC) and is LEED AP certified. She is co chair of the Creation Care Ministry at Grace Episcopal Church in Kirkwood, and she serves on the Climate Action Task Force for City of Creve Coeur. And she loves to talk about all things sustainable.
More About Being Church in the 21st Century
Sabine will give a brief overview of the crisis of climate change and choices we’ve made to get us to this point, and how as Places of Faith we can and need to alleviate suffering through a better understanding of those choices. She will present information to congregations about no-cost energy audits, low-cost changes, and upgrades to save energy costs and lower the impact on our environment– which is God’s gift to all of us.
After Sabine’s presentation we will engage in an in-depth conversation regarding how “being green” is linked to our mission of Making Disciples, Building Congregations, for the Life of The World.
The afternoon workshop will be an expanded version of the diocesan convention presentation on Parish Nursing. Presenters include Dan Handschy, rector of Advent Episcopal in Crestwood, and Deb Goldfeder, R.N., and Advent’s parish nurse. They’ll include basic how-tos for setting up a nursing ministry for a neighborhood or community.
Conference attendees will also gauge their interest in a possible diocesan collaboration for funding parish nursing. Additionally, ways to discern and assess the needs of your community and how to garner resources in your congregation will be discussed.

Senior Warden Bob Buehler announced to the parishioners of St. Martin’s on Sunday, Dec. 13, that the Reverend Jon Hall will be the next rector of St. Martin’s. For St. Martin’s, it has been a two and a half year process involving the Vestry and Search Committee, parish members and diocesan staff. There is great joy and gratitude for such a successful completion of the search process and the beginning of a new chapter in our lives.
Bob Buehler announced, “On Saturday morning, December 12th on behalf of the vestry, the Search Committee, and the St. Martin’s parish, I had the honor of calling our top candidate, Father Jon Hall, and offering him the position of next rector of St. Martin’s. Father Hall accepted immediately. Father Hall is currently the rector at St. Phillip’s Episcopal Church in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, where he has served since 2003. Father Hall, his wife Colleen, and their lovely daughter Abbey will be re-locating to St. Louis in late January or early February. Father Hall is a warm, engaging, and open spiritual leader. He listens attentively to all. He exudes calm and is very, very thoughtful. During the interview, Father Hall opened himself to us. During an interview that lasted over three hours, he actually moved several of us to tears through sharing some genuinely moving experiences. St. Martin’s is blessed to have him as our next rector.”

Great photos added from yesterday’s ride beginning at Calvary, Columbia with lunch at St. Matthew’s, Mexico, and rest stop at St. Alban’s Fulton, and hospitality at host Grace in Jeff City.
The pace for these centuries (100 mile rides) is brisk, and the riders appreciate all of the hospitality along the way. Water purification demonstrations at each evening stop (and afternoon on the 31st at the Cathedral) are encouraging great conversations. Every stop includes a presentation from the people of the parish to contribute to this fundraising effort. A short video of a presentation at St. Alban’s Fulton: http://www.vimeo.com/4900727
New photos from day four are online, and more from days two and three will be up later this morning. We’re gathering them at:

Today’s ride will stop at Trinity, St. James before winding up for the day at Christ Church, Rolla. Saturday is Rolla to St. Francis, Eureka, with lunch at St. John and St. James in Sullivan. And Sunday the riders will be passing by St Martin’s Ellisville at doughnut time on their way into St Louis on Clayton Road. Arrival at the Cathedral around 10 am. We’ll be welcoming the riders and their gear into the procession at the 11:15 service. Ride organizers the Rev. Joe Chambers will preach and the Rev. Mitchell Smith (son of the Canon to the Ordinary Dan and Evelyn Smith) will participate in Pentecost celebration.
