The Corner StoneThe Corner Stone Stone Church ~ The Church on the Green

The purpose of Stone Church is to be an inviting, spiritual community of Christ,

engaging in worship that inspires and challenges us to learn and grow

as we reach out in caring and service, trusting in the love of God.

2 The Corner Stone

What I Did on my Summer “Vacation”

Each summer I keep thinking *this* summer will be a quiet, restful time. Maybe next year.

In July retiring Hamilton College professor and Stone Church music director Rob Kolb more than

ably filled the pulpit in my absence as did elder Peter Massi the first Sunday in August. During the

first week in July my wife Helen and I traveled to the Bay Area in California for our granddaughter Reyna’s first

birthday. We had a marvelous time, particularly in getting re-acquainted with her (and her with us) as we had not seen

her in many months. In the latter part of the month I found myself working two weeks in windowless conference

rooms in Fairfax, VA helping out on a large, critical proposal for my day job. Meanwhile, our older daughter, Leanne,

broke the news that her family was moving at the beginning of August from Clinton, NY to Boulder, CO for career

reasons for both her and her husband. So we (my wife) spent much of the summer helping them as we could, some

packing and a lot of babysitting our eight-year granddaughter Annie and eighteen-month old grandson Jay.

The first week of August Donna Goodfriend and I drove to Dayton, Ohio, my old stomping grounds growing up, to

attend the 3-1/2 day Network of Biblical Storytellers (NBS) annual Festival Gathering. It was our second Festival

Gathering, the first being in South Carolina in 2010. Perhaps being eight years older and it being the second time and

with all going on in my life I found it hard to get into the spirit (pun intended) of the event. The worship that we

started each day with was so creative and energetic, the storytellers so accomplished and talented, and the keynote

speaker so moving that it felt almost initially unrealistic..

The leadership and speakers made a point of saying, we were a ―network‖, not a club. And, indeed, we did network.

Donna roomed with Susan St. John, a Canadian Unitarian, going to seminary when most people are contemplating

retirement. We also hung around a lot with Kevin Bailey, one of three Commissioned Lay Pastors with the Three

Voices Presbyterian churches in Vernon, Verona, and Oneida Castle. While Donna

and I knew Kevin through the Utica Presbytery, we had never gotten together. We

had to travel 600 miles to find out about his storytelling and music ministry. We met

Drew Willard, a United Church of Christ (my old denomination) pastor from Florida

who got us to do his ―playwright version‖ of The Widow and the Judge (Luke 18:1-

8). Two women, Barbara Blacklock, Roberta Longfellow, came up to me at different

times out of the blue and asked, ―Are you Rose Leonard’s son?‖ My amazement

turned to understanding when I found out that Barbara has been driving my mother to

Grace United Methodist Church in Dayton, not far from my mother’s place in

Trotwood, and Roberta is a storyteller there. Grace United also happens to be the

church that Tom Boomershine, the father of biblical storytelling and NBS attends and

whom I had met years ago on visit to Dayton. And, of course, Dennis Dewey, the

father of biblical storytelling at Stone Church, was there.

But it wasn’t just meeting these and many other people. When I got to know them a bit, I saw broken people. All of

them. People who had gone through abuse, broken relationships, ill-health, loss of life. And I saw that the joy in

worship and praise of God was not a pollyannish white-washed view of God, but response to a hard-earned, honest

faith in God, an acknowledgement of pain and dysfunction in their own lives and the world coupled with the belief of

God’s love for them and the world. Their stories were the stories of our faith, of real people with real issues, but with

the hope of things unseen, of a peace that surpasses understanding. These were the church of Jesus. And they were

just like you and me because they are us; all of us are broken people. All of us, like almost everyone in the Bible, are

imperfect and make mistakes, but also have the capacity to love and care for ourselves and others if we but open

ourselves to God. And not just as individuals, but as a network, working together as a community, to be one body in

Christ. And that’s a story we should all like to tell.

Shalom,

L-R: Kevin Bailey, Donna Goodfriend, Drew Willard, Susan St. John, Scott Leonard

IT’S TIME TO GET TO KNOW OUR NEW SECRETARY - JANICE LEFROIS

Janice grew up in North Utica along with an older brother David and attended John F.

Kennedy School graduating in 1979 with a business degree. As a young girl her Mom had seen to it that she took organ

lessons for a few years and continued on much later in life to take piano lessons. At age12, Janice needed open heart

surgery which was performed in Manhattan, NY on 10/26/72 to widen a valve in her heart. Heart problems were

hereditary in her family. Sadly the following year her mom died from a long battle with cancer and her Dad took over

care of Janice—becoming her best buddy. He was her ―Hero‖ and the greatest man she ever knew. .Her brother also

looked out for her in her youth and became her mentor when he became a Methodist pastor after retiring from the Navy

after 20 years.

Following graduation from high school, her first job was with Genuine Auto Parts as a parts inventory clerk,

then as a bank teller, and stayed in the financial business. These jobs helped her gain experience and learn new skills and

as well as helping her to find a more lucrative position. In October 1995 she married Jeff ―Zeke‖ LeFrois, now a retired

NYS Corrections Officer. He works part-time at a church in Fayetteville because he’d rather work than be idle. Janice

thinks the same way in that she would rather keep busy by working a part time job.

By 10/26/01, Janice needed her second open heart surgery, a graphite valve replacement at St. Elizabeth hospital

in Utica. Her Dad had gone through the same two heart surgeries as Janice. She is now very healthy.

Janice began volunteering with the Rome Humane Society and then she and her husband fostered dogs from

2004 – 2008 for ―K-9 Rescue Me, in Verona. Zeke and Janice always preferred large dogs and ―K-9 Rescue Me’ always

knew who to call when a big dog was available. They presently have a rescue dog named Sadie. She loves motorcycle

riding with her hubby, cooking, gardening, and is an old movie buff. She also loves music especially songs by Andrea

Bocelli and Josh Groban.

Before Janice realized she had gotten the position to be our secretary, she and Zeke bought a home in Canastota

and moved from Verona to their new home. They are almost settled in and adding their personal touch. She has good

office skills and can multi-task. Her longest employment was for 16 years from 1999-2015 as an Office Manager in an

Insurance Agency. I wasn’t at all surprised when she told me that after she had retired from the agency she helped her

best girl friend with her cancer treatments. This entailed taking her to all Dr.’s appointments, surgeries, and chemo

treatments that lasted up to 6 hours or more two to three times a week The good news is that her girl friend is in

remission.

Janice was very fond of her Dad who was one of six children. When he was in the 10th grade he left school to

help earn money for the family by washing planes at Griffiss Air Force Base. He joined the Navy for two years serving

in World War II learning to be an electrical engineer and returning to Griffiss AFB as an electrical engineer where he

worked for 42 years. During those years he took night classes at Utica College and graduated at the age of 54 earning an

accounting degree. He was the oldest graduate of Utica College that year and his story was featured on the first page of

the OD. He opened a CPA office mainly offering to do taxes and general accounting. Janice also took classes from H &

R Block and had her own small tax business to help out her dad. He always said ―You should always have something to

fall back on‖ He continued working until he was 80 years old!

One understands where she gets her compassion for others and her work ethic because she was surrounded by a

loving and hard working family.

Fall Mission News

As I prepare this for the September 2018 Cornerstone, we are enjoying warm summer weather. Nevertheless, the

nights are a bit cooler and the hours of daylight have been noticeably reduced. Fall is definitely on its way and

September is just around the corner. Traditionally, we think of September as the beginning of fall and the start-up time

for Stone Church.

With the coming of September start-up, we might do well to reflect upon the words we chose to represent our place in

God’s world: ―The purpose of Stone Church is to be an inviting, spiritual community of Christ, engaging in worship

that inspires and challenges us to learn and grow as we REACH OUT IN CARING AND SERVICE, trusting the love

of God.‖ While the emphasis is mine, this statement clearly carries with it the very distinct promise that we, the

members and friends of Stone Church, will work to deepen our understanding of God and seize new opportunities to

perpetuate Christ’s love and concern for mankind, regardless of season. One way we accomplish this is to consider

what mission activities are available for our participation.

I would not presume to pretend I can offer you a comprehensive list of what activities you should, could or might

support. Nor can I offer advice regarding the importance of one effort over another. Our Mission Committee has

prayerfully identified agencies and/or needs for focus throughout this 2018-2019 year. Our identified opportunities are

Rise Against Hunger, The Country Pantry, Hope House, Your Neighbors, the Presbyterian Mission Agency and the

annual special offerings of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. Naturally, we will continue our ongoing support for the

Stone Church Fair Trade Shoppe and our Deacons.

For the next few months, efforts will be made to feature, explore and explain the work of these agencies and our

relationship to them, not only via the Cornerstone and Sunday bulletins, but through worship and ―Lunch and

Learning‖ programs. It is hoped that by so doing, we each will enjoy deeper understanding of our roles and continue to

grow as generous, caring Christians. The Rise Against Hunger and The Country Pantry are our featured opportunities

this month.

THE COUNTRY PANTRY, the ecumenically supported local food bank located in Clark Mills, helps eliminate

hunger by providing foodstuffs, ingredients for meals and special support to children. The Country Pantry provides

non perishable foods, fresh produce, hygiene products and diapers once a month to families and individuals in need,

serving people in Clinton, Clark Mills and Westmoreland.

Generally Stone Church supports The Country Pantry with monthly donations of non-perishable food and monetary

donations of our loose change offering the third Sunday of the month. Judy LaGasse both volunteers and advises us

regarding the Country Pantry’s needs. In addition to donations, volunteers are always needed to sort and pack groceries

for recipients. We are planning to hold a ―Lunch and Learning‖ program devoted to information about the Country

Pantry on Sunday, September 30. Mark your calendars and plan to enjoy a lovely lunch and the opportunity to learn

more about the Country Pantry, its services and how you can assist in their mission.

Regardless of temperature, season or anything else, part of our responsibility as Christians is to provide loving care for

others. While our love should know no bounds, our ability to care can be limited by awareness, circumstance and other

variables. By spending the next few months exploring our responsibilities and opportunities, it is hoped that we all can

strengthen our commitment to being a congregation who REACHES OUT IN CARING AND SERVICE!

DON’T FORGET THE DEACONS!

Please keep the Deacons in mind on the first Sunday of

each month. All of the loose money collected on those

Sundays will go to support the ministry of the Deacons.

Questions? Speak with any of the Deacons - Mary

Chamberlain, Jim Gavett, Judy LaGasse, Helen Leonard,

Bev Miller, Hal & Linda Rance and Grace Whittemore

How should we pray? I was reading my ―These Days‖ booklet when I saw mentioned that

Presbyterians do not usually kneel when praying in church. It got me to thinking why we do

not.

The following pieces I read, while researching the subject, helped to clarify my thinking

about this.

Three preachers sat discussing the best positions for prayer while a telephone repairman worked nearby.

―Kneeling is definitely best,‖ claimed one.

―No,‖ another contended. ―I get the best results standing with my hands outstretched to Heaven.‖

―You’re both wrong,‖ the third insisted. ―The most effective prayer position is lying prostrate, face down on the floor.‖

The repairman could contain himself no longer. ―Hey, fellas,‖ he interrupted, ―the best prayin’ I ever did was hangin’

upside down from a telephone pole.‖

According to John Calvin (who had a significant influence on the start up of Presbyterianism) on prayer:

―Let us therefore realize that the only persons who duly and properly gird themselves to pray are those who are so

moved by God’s majesty that, freed from earthly cares and affections, they come to it.‖ When you understand God’s

bigness and your smallness, you’ll come to with the right posture — namely, with reverence.

Grace Whittemore, Deacon

To all the Presbyterian Family and Friends:

Thank you all for the wonderful cards, letters and well wishes while I was in the hospital, the

Presbyterian and Lutheran Home from November thru July.

I especially enjoyed the books to read, all the homemade goodies and the many, many prayers. These

gifts gave us much comfort.

Thanks again!

THE RISE AGAINST HUNGER program is being led by the Clinton Methodist Church who

has enlisted the Clinton churches, community organizations, schools and residents to participate in

―Rise Against Hunger, ―an international program aimed at eradicating world hunger through the

provision of highly nutritious pre-packaged food. This year it is hoped 40,000 meals can be

assembled and packed. Additionally members and friends are asked to commit to work at the

packaging event held at the Clinton High School cafeteria on September 29. There is a signup

sheet in the back of the church sanctuary. Participants are asked to select a shift during which they

can be assigned to an appropriate task. More participation in packing will result in a greater opportunity to provide

desperately needed food to those on the edge of starvation. Please mark your calendar and plan to participate in this

event .

More information regarding the Rise Against Hunger can be found at https://www.riseagainsthunger.org/about-us/ or by

contacting Jeff Hale at Clinton Methodist Church, 315-853-3358.

The Sanctuary Choir will resume on Sunday morning, September 9.

We rehearse on Sunday mornings at 9:00 A.M.

If just one of the following describes you, we hope you will join us in the choir loft on Sunday mornings:

You enjoy singing.

You think you might enjoy singing if you ever tried it.

Your mother always wanted you to be a singer.

Your 6th-grade chorus director stuck you in the back row.

You heard someone sing once.

There is no midweek rehearsal; we simply gather on Sunday morning,

rehearse, and provide choral music for the morning's service.

If I don’t praise him, the rocks are gonna cry out,

―Glory and honor! Glory and honor!‖ [traditional spiritual]

Music at Stone Church

Glory and Honor!!

Summer Worship Services Greatly Appreciated

Many thanks to Rob Kolb and Peter Massi for helping Pastor Scott Leonard with our summer worship services

and also Lauralyn Kolb in coordinating the music with her husband. The services were creative and well received. Rob

even gave to those who wished to share, the booklet named ―The Will of God‖ by Leslie Weatherhead free of charge.

As always we enjoyed Patti Lawson joining us a few Sundays with her musical talent on the flute. Patti is

Gene Lawson’s daughter-in-law. Kevin and Patti Lawson are welcome guests from California anytime. Joining us

again this summer was Bob Turner composer and soloist a wonderful musician.

Representing the Deacons, Grace Whittemore saw to it that fresh flowers decorated the sanctuary many from

her own garden. Others who donated home grown flowers to help Grace with this project were Hal and Linda Rance,

Bev Miller and Midge Bakos.

Special thanks go to Hal and Linda Rance because for several summers not only have they purchased a

decorative box of flowers for the front of the church but they also see to it that the flowers are watered. Midge Bakos

keeps annuals going both by the front corner of the church and near the Williams St. entrance.

Church Supported Charities and “The Fair Trade Shop” Through the Summer

Stone Church is committed to serving meals at Hope House the third Monday of each month. Headed by Ceil

Gilbert who makes sure we have the necessary volunteers, the following helped during the summer months: Mary

Chamberlain, Bev Miller, Pam Denison, Ceil Gilbert, and Judy LaGasse.

Judy LaGasse is the chairman of the Country Pantry who not only reminds us of their specific needs but

delivers the donations to the church of the Annunciation in Clark Mills and helps once a month on transport day. Bev

Miller helps deliver donations to the Pantry when Judy is not available.

Lauralyn Kolb’s favorite project ―The Fair Trade Shop‖ is busy in the summer when they are not only open at

the church but also cart some goods over to the Farmers’ Market on Thursdays weather permitting. Besides Lauralyn

Kolb, volunteers very active in this worthy venture this summer are Dave and Carol White, Pat Joseph. Ceil Gilbert,

Mary Chamberlain, Peggy Weldon, Grace Whittemore, Donna Goodfriend, Emily Hughes, Helen Leonard, Gerry

Gogel and Elizabeth Smith.

HAMILTON STUDENTS

students to help us with some work around the Church. We

replied with a big YES!!!!

We have a few of our members who will be there to work

with them also. If anyone else would like to help…please let

Linda Rance know. They will be here from noon until 3:00.

We will have pictures and more about their visit in the next
