Faith and Fear
Dear Friends, What are you afraid of? I ask that because I have a hunch that we’re rarely aware of just how significantly a role fear plays in many of our decisions, actions, and conversations. Perhaps it’s an argument between spouses about whether or not to spend money to take a summer vacation. Except it’s not just about the money to go to the beach; it’s about the fear that there might not be enough to cover the bills when they get back. Or maybe it’s a heated discussion between a teenager and parent about how late to be out with the car. What’s behind the conversation again is fear, the teenager’s fear of missing out, of being left behind by some peers who will definitely be out late, and a parent’s fear about all the things that could harm her beloved child. Yes, fear lurks just under the surface of a lot of the difficult moments in our lives. But is it unfaithful? That question is prompted by Jesus’ sharp words to his disciples in Mark 4:40: “Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?” So what do you think: is Jesus equating fear with the lack of faith? This troubles me because I’ve long thought that faith doesn’t banish fears, but helps us to cope with it. At the same time, I do see a connection between fear and a lack of faith. Let me get at it this way. Think of faith primarily as trust, not simply as belief (cognitive assent), but the kind of trust that motivates you to action. For example, you only let people you trust watch your kids when they’re little. And if you lose trust in your employer, you find it hard to give all you’ve got to work. Does that make sense? Faith is trust.

Faith and Fear (cont. from page 1) Well, when I’m afraid, I have a really, really hard time trusting. Fear paralyzes, making trusting – and the confident action that trust makes possible – very difficult, if not impossible. So maybe the issue isn’t that the disciples are understandably afraid because of the storm, it’s that they allowed their fear to overtake them so that they don’t come to Jesus and say, “Teacher, we need your help,” but rather come already assuming the worst, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re dying.” This isn’t a trusting or faithful request; it’s a fear-induced accusation. Keep in mind, of course, that whatever the quality of their interaction with Jesus, he still calms the sea. He does care for them. He does look out for them. You don’t have to have perfect faith for God to respond; indeed, you can even be paralyzed by fear, assume the worst about God, and still receive God’s mercy and grace…and then, perhaps, an invitation to greater faith! Interestingly, their fear doesn’t evaporate with the stilling of the sea, but it is transformed from the paralyzing anxiety that assumes the worst to a kind of holy awe at the presence and power of the Holy One in their midst. They thought they knew Jesus, and now they have to wonder if they really did. I think that’s the invitation for us as well: to bring our fears, anxieties, and concerns to God as best we can and watch as they are transformed and we are amazed once again at this God who never, ever ceases to surprise us. So I wonder if that’s part of the nature of our life in Christian community: to remind each other that while God may be so much bigger than we’d thought, and that while the life of faith may be at times be much harder than we’d bargained for, God will not abandon us. Not to the tempestuous storms of life, or even to the gale-force winds of our fears, rather, God will come, stilling wind and wave, calming the fear-ridden heart, telling us again that we are God’s own beloved children, and calling us to greater faith. And when we do that – comfort each other with the news of God’s steadfast love – we are playing one of the greatest roles assigned throughout Scripture. For at critical moments across the biblical drama, apostles, angels, and prophets will be sent to the people of God to say these four powerful yet simple words: Do not be afraid. And each time we say and hear these words we join all those saints before who, caught up in the Spirit of God, find the courage not just to survive, but to flourish; not just to live, but to live with abundance; and not just to get by, but by knowing the favor we enjoy in and through Christ, to dare great things, expect great things, ask for great things, and share great things. Christ’s peace, Steve
Dear members of Second Presbyterian,
As my Young Adult Volunteer (YAV) year comes to a close, I want to say thank you, not only for your financial
support, but also for your thoughts, prayers, and love throughout the year. I am so blessed to have such a strong,
nurturing, and caring home congregation.
The Young Adult Volunteer program is a year-long service commitment through the Presbyterian Church (USA). The
program has sites all over the world (literally) and calls its participants to act as leaders in the church, to serve broken or
struggling communities, to discern God’s calling for their lives, to learn of the world’s complexities, and to offer
compassion to all.
I spent my YAV year in Nashville, TN, working at Nations Ministry Center. Nations is a nonprofit serving the refugee
community in Nashville. As an organization, Nations provides a large variety of services to its clients, some of which
include: an after-school tutoring program, ESL classes, helping to find employment, immigration services, and a
preschool program. My primary role throughout the year was to teach the preschool and to help coordinate the after-
school tutoring program for middle school students. Although working with kids everyday provides its frustrations, I have
loved working at Nations and have learned so much about cultures, people, how children learn, the way nonprofits
operate, coordinating volunteers, and so much more.
Part of my free time this year was spent attending worship and volunteering at Westminster Presbyterian Church in
Nashville. The YAV program encourages its participants to be connected to a faith community and I was directed to
attend Westminster. In many ways it reminds me of Second and I have enjoyed worshiping there, meeting new people,
experiencing a different church, and volunteering as a youth advisor.
Much of this year, for me, has been spent in discernment, trying to decide my vocation. I believe I am called to
explore my love of art, use my creativity to help others, and to be an integral part of a faith community. The next step in
my life that feels truest to my calling is going to graduate school to receive a Master of Arts degree in Museum Studies
with a focus in education at Syracuse University. I am not entirely sure what will happen once I finish at Syracuse, but it
is the move that feels right and I am confident that it will be an experience worth having.
What I have learned this year is priceless and I am very grateful for this experience. I am thankful for the people I’ve
met, for the home I’ve found in Nashville, and the work I have done here. I tell people that this is a “gap” year, a “break”
between College and Graduate school, but I see it as anything but a break. It’s been a year full of hard work, learning
about the professional work environment, discerning, discovering the refugee world, and realizing more of who I am and
trying to be true to it. Wherever I end up, I know I will always look back on this year as a valuable experience and one
that will be applicable for years moving forward. Thank you so much for helping to make this year possible and I hope
Second Presbyterian Church continues to support the YAV program for future volunteers.
Blessings,
Sarah Akin

Karin Howze, our Child Care Coordinator, is working to hire two or three additional sitters for Sunday mornings (approximately 8:00 am-12:30 p.m.) and occasional evenings. Care Givers must be at least 18 years old, but we would love to hire some “grandmother-aged” sitters as well. We are looking for loving, caring, energetic individuals who will enjoy playing with and caring for our little ones on a regular basis. If you are interested in this position, or if you know someone who may be interested -- please contact Karin Howze, ([email protected], 259-0899) or Jeannie Ford ([email protected], 227-0000) for more information about how to apply.
Preschool and Bible Village Sunday School Volunteer Opportunities Available The Children’s Ministry is in the process of lining up teachers and leaders for our children’s Sunday School classes. Many of our leaders from last year are returning and we already have some new volunteers! There are a few opportunities available for those of you who feel called to be involved in the spiritual growth of our children. Volunteering in our Sunday School program provides a wonderful opportunity to get to know the children and parents and is a wonderful way to learn more about the stories of the Bible while teaching…..not to mention the hugs and smiles (the best perks)! Opportunities available: Preschool Sunday School: This is a September – May commitment. We recruit three teachers for each age group (Toddlers & Twos, Threes & Fours, and Kindergarten/Five Year Olds) in order to provide flexibility in schedules. Substitutes are also available for Sunday when needed (in order to have two adults each Sunday). Curriculum and supplies are provided. We need one or two teachers in the Threes & Fours class and one teacher in the Kindergarten/Five Year Old class. If you would like to volunteer in the Preschool Sunday School, please contact Martha Durham ([email protected], 379-9089) or Jeannie Ford ([email protected], 227-0000) Bible Village: There are two opportunities for volunteers in our Elementary Sunday School program….the Bible Village Rotation program. We need shepherds for each grade level. Shepherds serve from September through May. We recruit two shepherds for each grade. Shepherds greet the children each Sunday in the Gathering Room and accompany their grade to the workshops as assigned (Cooking, Movie, Art, Drama, or Games) to build relationships with the children and provide hands-on help for the workshop leaders. Workshop Leader is a four-week commitment in a particular workshop (of course you can serve as many four-week rotations as you would like!)—cooking, games, art, storytelling/drama, or movies. If you would like to volunteer to serve as a shepherd (we need two or three more shepherds) or a workshop leader in Bible Village, please contact Paige Majors ([email protected], 744-4521) or Jeannie Ford ([email protected], 227-0000). If you have questions, please contact Jeannie! Thank you for your prayerful consideration of volunteer opportunities in our Children’s Sunday School program.
Preschool Summer Story Time, Wednesday, July 25 (4:30-5:15pm) All preschoolers are invited to join Miss Jeannie in the Children’s Library for some summer reading fun.

This will be a time for food, fellowship, fun and support. Come have a cup of coffee, some fruit, or a Danish and hang out at the Youth Building.
MAD
Camp
2012 Music Art and Drama (MAD) Camp met July 16-22 and hosted 26 young singers, grades K-5. The group presented the musical, “The Tale of the Tree Trees”, adapted by Tom Long and Allen Pote. Our helpers for camp this year were Miss Jeannie Ford, Elizabeth Riddick, Shelby Thomas, Emma Fike, Hannah Rey, Bella and Angie Brown, and Sarah Jane Kershaw. MAD Camp participants designed their tee-shirts based on the story, enjoyed time learning lessons about the American folk tale (of the three trees), played, sang, did their own blocking and staging, and even had a visit from the ice-cream truck! Please enjoy the pictures; the smiles on their faces tells the rest of the story…till next year!
Last week, the Middle School Members of SPY headed to Mo-Ranch in Hunt, Texas for almost a week of fun, faith and fellowship together with about 400 other Presbyterian youth from across the South! Mo-Ranch is a beautiful setting, complete with lots of cacti, trees, and the Guadalupe River! While at "Mo" our youth got a chance to worship with other youth, participate in worship music, experience small groups together with others, do "energizers" (dances and songs) to wake them up each day, eat together, swim together, play together and MUCH more. The keynote speeches and worship while at "Mo" focused on parts of the life of Peter, how he became one of Jesus' disciples and how he often missed the mark when he was serving and walking alongside Jesus, but still managed to "find his way back." We talked in our small groups about ways we can serve Jesus and serve others, and we discussed things that are obstacles in our faith lives and how we can live our lives in ways that we are able to overcome these obstacles. Some of the highlights for our youth at Mo-Ranch were: swimming in the "rapids" (natural rock formations), swimming in the river, sliding down the slide into the river, energizers, the night where every small group planned and performed their own energizer for the whole camp, vespers (a time for prayer and quiet meditation in the late evenings) on the tennis courts under the stars, the "Aquathon“ (an afternoon of small group competitions that looks much like a wacky water olympics) and the dance. It is really wonderful to get to spend time with a group of youth that can quickly transition from group Bible study and discussion, to prayer, to quiet devotions, to the Cupid Shuffle without missing a beat! It was a wonderful week and our youth came back with great memories from their time together! Thank you to Jane Miers and Joe Henry for chaperoning this week with the youth and to all of the parents, staff, friends and members of the congregation who supported our youth in this venture and who prayed for us all week! Thanks again!
Sunday, August 19,, 9:00 and 10:00 AM Services
On Sunday, August 19, things will sound a little different in worship. At both the 9:00 and 10:00 services there will be a hymnsing. The 9:00 service will be led by the 9:00 musicians singing music in a more contemporary style. At 10:00, various vocalists and instrumentalists from our congregation will help lead the music. Music for the 10:00 service will be an “old-fashioned” hymnsing, with music chosen from the current blue hymnal as well as from a collection of hymns pulled from older Presbyterian hymnals. There will even be an opportunity for congregational requests! Mark your calendars and plan now to attend these joyful celebrations of worship.
Going Down the Drain!
Whoa! Hold the iodine! Hold everything! Don’t pour or flush any chemical products—including unused drugs—until you’ve read the following. The most cautious view is that of the Water Environment Federation, which recommends disposal of your iodine at a hazardous waste disposal facility. A list of safe disposal methods for more than 75 commonly used substances can be found at WEF’s Web site. Unless a product is a known hazardous waste that must go to a proper disposal facility, it’s far better to put it in the regular garbage than to flush it down the toilet or wash it down the drain. This is because modern landfills are designed with liners to prevent dangerous material from leeching out, whereas waste water treatment systems might not even detect—let alone eliminate—substances in water that can harm wildlife. Pharmaceuticals, hormones, antibacterial agents, and even some health and beauty products in waste water may be having a toxic effect, even at extremely low levels. Your frogs, shellfish, and insects apparently can’t ingest as many steroids and other performance enhancers as 300-pound football players and still compete successfully in their traditional water sports. This is why a growing number of drugstores and communities now offer collection services for unused pharmaceuticals. If you’ve recovered from a malady that required a drug, or simply quit cold turkey because you’re worried about overmedicating (or overmedicating your worries), find out if there are any drug-collection options in your town. The best place to search for these is http://earth911.com/.
