Everyone needs a will! Join at-
torney Larry Robertson and St.
Martins Legacy Committee for
an interactive session on estate
planning Wednesday, May 4
from 7 till 8 p.m.
While an estate plan cant pass
on your memories and experi-
ences, it can help you pass on
your assets in a way that re-
flects your values, dreams and
the full life youve lived. Estate
planning can also help you take
care of your family when youre
no longer able to do so your-
self.
This will be an interactive ses-
sion with great handouts, so
bring your questions and mark
your calendars for Wednesday,
May 4 at 7 p.m.

Library. Pick up a copy of this
months book, Handle with
Care, by Jodi Picoult, and come
join the discussion. Newcom-
ers are always welcome.
Review (from Publishers
Weekly): Perennial bestseller
Picoult (Change of Heart) deliv-
ers another engrossing family
drama, spiced with her trade-
mark blend of medicine, law
and love. Picoult individualizes
the alternating voices of the
narrators more believably than
she has previously, and weaves
in subplots to underscore the
themes of hope, regret, identity
and family, leading up to her
signature closing twists.

Living on solid spiritual ground
P A G E 3S T M A R T I N S C H U R C H . O R G
Dear brothers and
sisters in Christ,
Spring is in bloom! And
just like the signs of
new life in nature, I am
very pleased with the
growth in our parish.
We are gathering
strength with new
members, programs,
and leadership by the
laity. I enjoy being around St.
Martins because of the energythat you give to our church. You
are making a difference not only
within the congregation, but in
the community. I am proud of
our staff and the work it takes to
offer the array of ministries we
have on an ongoing basis. Indeed,
one of the things that attracted
me to St. Martins was the
amount of lay leadership and the
possibilities of a congregation
working in a community like
West County.
However, one question that
keeps coming up for me is: how
are we spiritually grounded? Pro-
grams and leadership are impor-
tant tools for discipleship but
they are not the foundation of
our identity as Gods church. I
love outreach and missions and
know them to be instruments of
Gods grace in the world, but
they are the branches and fruit of
the spiritual tree, not the trunk as
the source of life. So what serves,
for all of us, as
that spiritual
source for our
various minis-tries?
I think it has to
do with our
life of worship
as individuals
and as a con-
gregation. I
believe the source of a faith-
oriented life has to do with acombination of prayer, devotional
reading, fellowship and action.
Much of my focus as a priest is
about encouraging the spiritual
work first, whether it is with the
staff, vestry members, or any
other groups, and then order the
steps for ministry. The sacramen-
tal life is our foundation as wit-
nesses to Gods love in action.
There are also times I need to be
reminded of this ordering so that
my church involvement keeps a
healthy perspective maintaining
the spiritual life as a priority.
Otherwise the busyness of
church can take over the motiva-
tions derived from paying atten-
tion to what the Spirit of God issaying to me and Gods people.
Therefore, I believe that it is time
for St. Martins to bring on board
at least one or two part-time
priests in this calendar year. The
vestry has been addressing the
topic of an associate priest since I
interviewed in November
2009. I am very much aware
that adding a full-time position
may not happen in the nextyear, but I think we can be
creative with some part-time
positions to add depth to our
spiritual life, particularly in the
areas of weekly Bible studies,
worship opportunities and
pastoral care.
I hope that you will pray for
our church and the wonderfulcall that God gives us to serve
the wider congregation and the
West County area. I give God
the praise for who we are and
who we are becoming. Please
consider adding at least one or
two more priests at St. Mar-
tins in your daily prayers. I
believe this would deepen and
strengthen our faith and wit-
ness as a church who is so
very blessed to be a blessing.
Happy Eastertide, Fr. Jon

St. Martins Church, in conjunction with Cir-
cle of Concern, will again sponsor a scholar-
ship for high school seniors. This will be the
tenth consecutive year St. Martins has partici-
pated in this program. Sunday, May 1 will
be the kick-off for this years scholarship pro-
gram. The St. Martins Scholarship will be
granted to a west county high school senior
from the Valley Park, Rockwood or Parkway
school districts. The scholarship is to help a
student with financial needs get a good start
St. Martins scholarship programwith college. Glenn Koenen, Executive Direc-
tor of Circle of Concern, will be attending
both services on May 1 to explain the oppor-tunity this program provides. Please consider
supporting this scholarship with your dona-
tions. This program not only supports a de-
serving student but also publicizes St. Martins
Church within our local schools and specifi-
cally the senior class as they apply for college
funding. Special envelopes will be provided
May 1 for your giving.
Financial updateI appreciate everyone for helping us finish
2010 very close to financial break-even. Addi-
tionally, the congregation responded faithfully
to the fall Stewardship Campaign. This al-
lowed the vestry to approve a budget for
2011 that includes additional needed pro-
grams and projects while remaining close to
break-even. And through the first quarter of
the year, we are ahead of budget. Thank you
to all.
The financial information for the church is
maintained on a cash basis and the numbers
you see weekly are reflective of our cash po-
sition. Without borrowing from ourselves
(the Packwood Fund) or drastically control-
ling payments, we must try to maintain a con-
stant flow of income and manage spending
throughout the year. We simply do not have
a lot of flexibility. I encourage all of you to
help by keeping up pledge payments during
the historically lean months of summer and
early fall when attendance is lower. We are
working on some electronic capabilities thatwill allow you to pay your pledge even if you
are out of town. More on this in future arti-
cles.
I want to put in a plug for the HVAC Fund that
allowed us to replace many of the heating and
air conditioning units last year. We borrowed
approximately $48,000 from the Packwood
Fund, which we agreed would be paid back with
interest in five years or less. We have already
collected 50% of this amount in donations and I
want to encourage the congregation to help get
this amount paid back well in advance of the five
year goal. We benefit each week from the use
of this equipment.
Finally, we are all hopeful and excited about the
future of St. Martins, but it will take time and
the faithfulness of all of us to make it happen.
Father Jon Hall and the vestry are planning for
the future. However, the growth and expanded
ministries we all desire and pray for need to be
supported with our time, talents, and yes, our
treasures. Please help us build on the progress
we have made to become financially healthy. I
dream of a thriving church which shares our
good fortune with the diverse communities
where we have ministries and missions. Letsmake this dream a reality.
Best regards in Christ,
Larry Cornelius, Treasurer

Mission trip = TransformationAn interminably long car
ride sleeping on con-
crete floors sore mus-
cles, sweaty limbs and
cold showers meeting
people from different
walks of life being
physically, emotionally
and spiritually challenged
with hard work and new
experiences and being
changed forever ah. the quin-
tessential mission trip!
For many teens, its the highlight of
their church life, something that
theyll remember and reference
throughout their lives. Mission
trips are so transformational be-
cause they are all-encompassing.
Its a 24-7 immersion. They chal-
lenge limits and comfort zones just
as Jesus did with his disciples.
When our hands are busy with ahammer, were often open to lis-
tening to Christ. Lifelong friend-
ships are formed on these trips,
often with someone who at first
glance seemed so completely dif-
ferent than ourselves. They are a
chance to embody ones faith
through work and relationships,
with all of the accompanying pains
and joys. Its a transformation from
a learned faith to a living faith.
The youth at St. Martins have
three opportunities to experience
Mission trips this summer!

Louis, June 19 22
A second Diocesan-wide trip is
being offered. This three-night trip
will be based in a UCC church in
Benton Park and will partner with
area agencies to perform a variety
of work projects. Open to 8th
grade graduates and up. Cost of
trip is $100 per person.
Mini-Mission Trip, Shannon-
dale Community Center,
Ozarks, June 24 - 26
Our very own St. Martins trip!
This trip will offer a taste of what
mission is all about. Open to stu-
dents who have completed 6th
through 12th grades. Cost of trip is
$50 per person.
My hope is that these trips trans-
form our youths lives, making
their faith stronger and deeper. I
pray that their transformations
inspire all of us to see mission all
around us here in Ellisville. Its in
the way that we greet the
stranger, the care we give to those
in need, and the healing that we
offer to ourselves and others.

In the Shelter of Each Other: The Psalms of
Assurance (Psalms 23, 73)
Sunday, May 8:
The Most Important Text in the Bible: The
Psalms of Justice (Psalms 72, 82, 96-99)
Professor Clint McCann returns to St. Martins
this month to continue his widely popular
classes on the Psalms. McCann is a noted bibli-
cal scholar and the Evangelical Professor of
Biblical Interpretation at Eden Seminary in
Webster Groves. He last visited us in Febru-
ary, 2010. As before, McCanns approach to
the Psalms will be explicitly theological, at-
Scripture tells us that blessings shared,
multiply and multiply and multiply.
If you have a story youd like to share,
please contact a member of our Stewardship Committee:
Jeff & Jane Klieve (co-chairs),
Murrell Cunningham, Mary Drastal, Janis Greenbaum.
Christian stewardship is the grateful and responsible use of God's gifts in
the light of God's purpose as revealed in Jesus Christ. Christian stewards,
empowered by the Holy Spirit, commit themselves to conscious, purpose-
ful decisions.

classes in May.
Have you noticed a fresh, new look in Park
Hall, the Narthex and our main hallway lately?
That new look comes from a fresh coat of
paint and that fresh coat of paint comes
from the hard work of a dedicated group of
church members donating their time and
painting skills to get the job done.
Scott Pattengill and Sherrie Algren recently
completed the hallway and the Narthex. That
painting job took 16 gallons of paint and re-
quired some delicate and brave work on scaf-
folding.
Another group of hard-working painters took
on the huge walls of Park Hall: Sherrie &
Doug Algren, Rich Luebcke, Steve Lyle, Mick
McCann, Jim & Alice McLaughlin, Bob
Pomeroy and Mike Reeves.
Scott Pattengill is a painter by profession. He
says he sees this work as a part of his stew-
ardship to the church. This is what I can doso its my way to contribute, Scott said.
With Park Hall, the hallway and the Narthe
repainted Wow! The church really looks
refreshed!
Scott Pattengill and Sherrie
Algren worked for two weeks
in April to paint the Narthex
and the hallway at St. Martins.

All new ministry events should have a Ministry
Reservation Request completed six weeks in
advance of the event. Once received by the
church office, the request will be brought to
the next staff meeting for clearance with the
parish calendar. After approval, the event willbe posted to the calendar and confirmed with
the ministry leader so that the committee can
confidently proceed with planning and pro-
moting the event.
Requests for use of the facility by St. Martins
members for non-ministry events should be
made using the Campus Use Agreement
booklet (white, has icon with cross at the top
on cover). This booklet is taken directly from
the main policy and contains the pages perti-
nent for members who wish to hold a private
social event or secure space for another or-
ganization of which they may be a member.
The Campus Use Agreement booklet is also for
use by outside persons or groups who would
like to rent space for a meeting or other ac-
tivity. The Campus Use Agreement informs the
potential user of terms which will govern
activities held at St. Martins and gives details
regarding liability and fees. This Campus Use
Agreementbooklet should be used for all non-
ministry requests.
If you have questions, you may direct them to
jtheiss@stmartinschurch.org.
by Janet Theiss, Parish Administrator
A new Campus Use Policy has been ap-
proved by the Vestry. This comprehensive
policy document guides the use of St. Mar-
tins building and grounds by ministries,
members and outside groups who might
wish to hold activities and events at St. Mar-
tins. The policys stated goal is to utilize
the space in a manner that supports our
Christian Mission and to provide a positive
experience for the individuals and groups
that utilize our facility.
All ministry leaders are urged to read this
policy which covers processes, risk, guide-
lines for safety and more. A copy is postedon St. Martins website under Schedules
FormsPolicies in the column on the left side
of the webpage. Hard copies of the Campus
Use Policyare available in the narthex.
In light of this new policy, the old pink
form titled Event Planning Form has been
replaced by the Ministry Reservation Re-
quest Form. This new form is also printed
on pink paper with the diagram of Park Hallon the back for your convenience. This Min-
istry Reservation Request form is available on
the bulletin board in the corridor, from the
church office or may be printed from the
website under SchedulesFormsPolicies.
New procedures for planning church events
Copies of the
Campus Use Policy,
Ministry Reservation
Request Form and
the Campus Use
Agreement
are available at the
church or on
our website.

Upon returning to work in the church office after my suc-
cessful shoulder replacement surgery, I discovered I wasnt
as young as I used to be and it was time for me to retire
again. It has been my pleasure to serve this part of Christs
church for seven and a half years, but it is now time for me
to have my own schedule and not a time clock.
Speaking of my surgery, thank you for your prayers, cards,
phone calls, visits, and food. Each was a great support for
which I am grateful. A special thank you to Meals by ECW.
The meals were wonderful and lasted for days.
