It has become a powerful movement that is transforming the time around the Super Bowl weekend into the nation’s largest celebration of giving and serving. Starmount will celebrate with a free Souper Bowl Lunch after church. We just ask that you consider making an offering for Greensboro Urban Ministry, Starmount’s 2015 Souper Bowl of Caring ministry partner of choice, to help end hunger. During lunch we will also conduct the Annual Meeting of the congregation by hearing ministry highlights of 2014, receiving the 2015 budget and voting on the proposed changes of call for our pastoral staff.

Please pray for them and the discernment process as we seek to change and become the people and the church that Christ is calling us to be.

And I have also come to understand that there is only one true agape that can love me fully and unconditionally: God. And I love that. I continue to strive to see my friends, family, and all I encounter with that lens. I challenge and encourage you to do the same.

Starmount Handbell Inscriptions In December, our new octave of handbells was dedicated to the glory of God for the enrichment of our musical worship at Starmount. Many of our music participants and supporters donated money for these new bells and the inscriptions below are to honor those in whose names they presented these bells. We are grateful to those who gave the bells and to those whom they honor. May all of Starmount’s music be to glorify God and to enrich the worship of our congregation. In loving memory of Robert H.

Presbyterian Women Just for Women ….. 2015 Starmount Women’s Retreat February 20-22 Faith Goes to the Movies: The Sequel! Back by popular demand, Rev. Emily Enders Odom returns to us to prove that a good movie can be more than just a few hours’ entertainment. It can be a powerful vehicle for exploring our faith in the context of our lives. Using clips from selected movies and reflecting on related Scripture passages, we will enter into a dialogue with film, experiencing “holy humor” and God’s surprises, while also examining such theological issues as suffering, grief, reconciliation, and grace. Information/Registration Brochures are available at the Welcome desk in the lobby and online. Deadline: Sunday, February 15. 4 Starmount Presbyterian Church PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN HONORARY LIFE MEMBERSHIP Nominate a Starmount member for Honorary Life Membership, an annual award that recognizes members of Starmount who have a commitment to Christ and the mission of the church. With the nomination, please list reasons for nominating the individual. Submit in a sealed envelope to the Presbyterian Women’s mailbox in the church workroom by March 1. Remember: nominations are kept SECRET. In Action Preschool Sunday School Teachers and Nursery Workers Who are they? They’re the folks “who look after the sheep,” the littlest angels, our dear children. In the nursery for most Sunday mornings and most of our meeting times when childcare is needed, we find Anne Thorn, Lucy Hammer and Brandy Madujibeya right where we need them to be. Even though Lucy and Brandy have weekday jobs involving children this age, both say they love children and enjoy being with them enough to do it some more! Lucy is a “child of our church” so it’s wonderful that she can pass on the gift of sharing through the next generation of that family. Brandy now has her own son this age so he joins her when she’s here. Anne says, even though it’s not her weekday job, she loves children and loves learning about the new ones; it’s also something she feels she can do for the church. These may be our paid workers but they could only do it because of their deep love for children. A little farther down the hall we find Leslie Webb, Anna Crabtree, Tracie Fitzpatrick, Jinny Buchanan, Vicki and Matt Winters, Evelyn Nadler, Cindy Lee, Sonia Chhuani and/or Nancy Wallace. These are some of our wonderful, we-couldn’t-do-it-without-you volunteers. Some of us simply could not do what these folks do. Many like children but teaching, herding, ministering to this age is not their thing. These people LOVE children. Jinny Buchanan is a nurse and a mom. She echoes that she loves getting to know the young ones in the church. In a way, she gets to do a pass-it-on since her son grew up in the church and others have been there for him. Tracie Fitzpatrick is also a child of Starmount. She says she has “a heart for children” and feels this is one way she can pass on that heart to our Starmount little ones. A special comment was that teaching them allows her to revisit the familiar Bible stories and see them again, but new, through the eyes of the children. We’ve even had a mother-son team in Vicki and Matt (V) Winters. Vicki says, since she especially loves doing arts and crafts, it was a good fit for her as a helper. She had grown up doing crafts with her grandmother and then with her own children and the children were so sweet, it was fun. Evelyn is a self-professed numbers person but is a little-people person as well. She’s been a member here for 25 years and taught Sunday School when her children were little. Now she thinks of others’ children as sweet and enjoyable to teach and to know. She’s another who feels that’s a way she can get to know the younger families of the church. Cindy Lee qualifies as a “go-to” person. She not only directs our Weekday Preschool Leslie says now that her children are well past Program, she also helps many times when we this age she just wants to be with this crew of need activities, help with, and energy for our 3 and 4-year-olds. She has an abiding passion little ones. You’ll learn more about them in an upcoming article. for loving them and working with them. Anna joined Leslie in saying that she loves children, likes getting to know the new families in the Written by Cynthia Dixon church and feels this is something she can do for the church.

Also, he said he has been interested in photography since 9th grade and is especially interested in taking pictures of nature when visiting the beach.
