Weekly Thoughts from the Rector/ Pastor
The Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost
October 19, 2014
CROP WALK is NEXT SUNDAY OCT 26—
We have a couple of fun ways to help the hungry people of our world. First opportunity is
Oct 26th –the annual Cortland CROP walk. Please donate to one of our parish members (and, I Hope,
our confirmation class who is walking that day).
You can also go to the Church World Service CROP Walk site online and look up the Cortland
CROP Walk. You can use this site to donate online: www.http://hunger.cwsglobal.org. Look it up and
search for the Cortland NY walk. If you want our parish to win fame for raising the most funds again
this year, you can put our name in for credit if you donate on line. It would be a disappointment if we
have to give up the “Super Sneaker Award.”
While it is always nice to be number one, the important thing is that the CROP Walk raises
money to help feed people here, around the nation, and around the world. Nevertheless, join in the
CROP Walk, and help us maintain our status as “The best darn church on Court Street.”
PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT LOAVES AND FISHES:
BUY YOUR TICKETS TODAY AT CHURCH FOR EMPTY BOWLS DINNER
There is another way to help others coming up next weekend! The big fundraiser of the year for
our meal program, Cortland Loaves and Fishes, will be on Saturday October 25th at the Center for the
Arts in Homer. Did you buy a ticket? There is still time to do that! See members of our congregation
who have tickets to sell. Tix are $35 dollars each. Yes, it is a fundraiser! You can also contact Loaves
and Fishes directly for tickets. It will be great to see many members of Grace and Holy Spirit at that
event! Besides providing the space in our building, Grace and Holy Spirit helps Loaves and Fishes in
other ways. A few of our members often volunteer to help in the kitchen and with serving at meal times.
A few more attend board meetings. Your support of Cortland Loaves and Fishes fundraisers, as best as
you are able, is another important part of that relationship we share.
KIDS LITURGY UPDATE
We are so happy to have a Confirmation group of young people, and lots of little ones in the
parish on Sundays. Our kids’ worship time at 10:15AM is really a “Mini-Sunday school” that keeps
our young people very much part of the worshipping congregation, and also allows for their need to
participate in liturgy in a way they can understand.
We are still recruiting more adults to help with the effort, as at least two adults from different
families are needed whenever a kids’ activity is sponsored by our parish. Adult volunteers must have
safe-church training. Can you volunteer?
In any case, we are grateful that our parish echoes with the sound of children these days!
NEXT WEEK IS ALSO OUR LUTHERAN HERITAGE SUNDAY
Next Sunday, October 26th, as in recent years, we will use the Lutheran format for worship, as we
commemorate Reformation Sunday. It is appropriate for Episcopalians to honor this day as well. For
the Church of England also is a church of the Reformation. Where do you think Henry VIII got the idea,
anyway? It will be a good opportunity next Sunday to reflect on what special gifts have come to
Christian people through the changes brought by the Reformation. It will be another moment to pause
2
and ask ourselves what it really means to be Episcopal and Lutheran in the 21st century. What do we
need to “reform” today to make the church more welcoming, loving, and healing for the world? What
needs reforming right here at Grace and Holy Spirit, if we are truly to be a church for the people of God,
as Luther would want us to be?
Another good reason for the celebration is to remind us we are a blended parish. At Grace and
Holy Spirit, we are one family. That means we are ALL Episcopal and we are ALL Lutheran here. No
“them and us” syndrome in our family, I hope. It is just “us” here. So I especially hope Episcopalians
will make a special effort to attend worship next weekend.
SPEAKING OF CHURCH ATTENDANCE
I know you are all busy people. There are many things that demand your attention. You cannot always
make it to our building on Sunday mornings. Nevertheless, I feel a little de-energized by the recent low
turnout. It is a real downer to me personally. If you have any suggestions to boost frequency of attendance by members, I would be glad to hear that.
I was raised to think it was a mortal sin to miss church on Sunday; I have grown out of that.
God is not a nasty God. Yet, I still firmly believe we all need to be together on Sunday, as much as we
are able. Being a Christian is not only a personal, individual thing. From the beginning of the Church,
being Christian did not just mean, “I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.” It also meant, “I
am part of a courageous church family who together risk everything to follow Christ.” Our faith is a
communal faith. We do not live our Christian faith well if we choose to do it in isolation. Please GYB*
to church. You need it, and so do the rest of us.
For those of you who really cannot get out of the house on Sundays, WE will come to you. If
we have been neglecting you, please give the office a call, so our pastoral care team can make a visit!
We do not want our homebound to think you are on your own. We are all with you!
EPISCOPAL AND LUTHERAN: WHAT WE BELIEVE
For Episcopal summary of faith, you can check out the red Book of Common Prayer (BCP) in the
narthex book shelves (or a few in the pews). Starting at page 845, there is An Outline of the Faith,
commonly called the Catechism. It is a simple statement of what we believe.
Both Episcopal and Lutheran churches treasure the official creeds-the Apostles Creed, the
Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed. That last one may be found on page 54 of the
green Lutheran Bookof Worship and page 864 of the BCP. The creeds are actually found
in several places in both worship books.
There are also special statements of faith which each church counts as part of its story. The Church of
England has the Articles of Religion, and you can see that on page 867 in the BCP. The Augsburg
Confession is a 28 point statement of what Lutherans believe, and if you want to read a summary of that,
I’d suggest you go to Wikipedia online. The web sites of both denominations give a short summary of
core beliefs. Of course, our churches have learned to get along much better these days, and instead of
warfare, we find ongoing dialogue between Anglicans, Lutherans, and Roman Catholics. Perhaps under
this new pope, more may happen in that area. We will see.

PERCENTAGE GIVING
I wouldn’t be doing my job if I did not continue to remind everyone in the parish how important
it is as a spiritual practice to reflect on what you are doing to support the church. It is none of my
business what amount you give to the parish, or to any other charity. But it is my responsibility to
make sure you PRAY about what you are doing. What happens with your money is not just a practical thing, it is also a very personal thing. It is very important that you think about and are really aware
of what you are giving as a sign of gratitude for all God has done, for all the blessings you received. In
order for that to happen, we have to take time to think about what God has done for us, make a list, and
then…compare that list to how we have responded to that generous love God has poured out on our
lives. The only way to measure that is by knowing what percentage of our income we are giving away
to church and charities.
SOME INTERESTING STATISTICS ABOUT GIVING
The Biblical standard for giving back to God in gratitude is “tithing” or giving 10% of what you have to
help others. Most mainline congregations see folks giving between 1 and 2 percent of household income
to church. Parishes that are considered thriving, with truly committed members, see average giving
closer to the 4% level. Many of the people who give to church always support other charities, and it is
only fair to include that in your tithing assessment. But I just want to point out that truly healthy,
growing congregations show more than 4% level of giving for church.
It is not a matter of being rich or of modest income. Some of the poorest zip codes in Onondaga
County, for example, also have the highest percentage of household income going to charity, according
to IRS and census statistics. Many of the folks in those areas attend churches that strongly preach the
spiritual value of giving back to God for all we have received. If poor households can be that generous,
maybe you and I can, too.
What has God done for you in your life? How do you say thanks for that? What % of your income do
you give back?
COMMITMENT TO OUR MISSION
“We are called to be a church for the 21st century, sharing God’s love through worship, acceptance,
compassion, and service.”
Question: Are you really behind this mission? How can you support it?
*GYB is an old Latin acronym for “please make a real effort to attend.”

Raising Children with an Attitude of Gratitude:
Research Finds Real Benefits for Kids Who Say, “Thank You”
By Diana Kapp
Dec. 23, 2013 6:40 p.m. ET on the Wall Street Journal website
Ben Gantert, 12, center, washes dishes near his father, Kurt Gantert, left, sister Amelie Gantert, 9, near right, and mother
Gabrielle Toledano in San Francisco. The family assigns each child chores and makes sure to thank whoever cooks dinner.
Laura Morton for The Wall Street Journal
At the Branstens' modern white dining table, the family holds hands for their nightly ritual.
Arielle, 8 years old, says she's thankful for her late grandfather, Horace, and how funny he was. "I'm
missing him," she says. Her third-grade pal, over for dinner, chimes in, "I'm grateful for the sausages."
Leela, who works for an education nonprofit, and her attorney husband Peter, burst into smiles. The San
Francisco couple couldn't have scripted this better. Appreciation for things big and small—that's why
they do this.
Giving thanks is no longer just holiday fare. A field of research on gratitude in kids is emerging,
and early findings indicate parents' instincts to elevate the topic are spot-on. Concrete benefits come to
kids who literally count their blessings.
Gratitude works like a muscle. Take time to recognize good fortune, and feelings of appreciation
can increase. Even more, those who are less grateful gain the most from a concerted effort. "Gratitude
treatments are most effective in those least grateful," says Eastern Washington University psychology
professor Philip Watkins.

Among a group of 122 elementary school kids taught a weeklong curriculum on concepts around
giving, gratitude grew, according to a study due to be published in 2014 in School Psychology Review.
The heightened thankfulness translated into action: 44% of the kids in the curriculum opted to write
thank-you notes when given the choice following a PTA presentation. In the control group, 25% wrote
notes.

"The old adage that virtues are caught, not taught, applies here," says University of California,
Davis psychology professor Robert Emmons. Parents need to model this behavior to build their
children's gratitude muscle. "It's not what parents want to hear, but you cannot give your kids something
that you yourselves do not have," Dr. Emmons says.
This may seems obvious, but it eludes many parents, Dr. Watkins says. "I think the most
important thing for us adults to realize is we're not very grateful either," he says.
The mere act of giving thanks has tangible benefits, research suggests. A 2008 study of 221 kids
published in the Journal of School Psychology analyzed sixth- and seventh-graders assigned to list five
things for which they were grateful every day for two weeks. It found they had a better outlook on
school and greater life satisfaction three weeks later, compared with kids assigned to list five hassles.
Another study examined 1,035 high-school students outside New York City. The study,
published in 2010 in the Journal of Happiness Studies, found that those who showed high levels of
gratitude, for instance thankfulness for the beauty of nature and strong appreciation of other people,
reported having stronger GPAs, less depression and envy and a more positive outlook than less grateful
teens.
Further, teens who strongly connected buying and owning things with success and happiness
reported having lower GPAs, more depression and a more negative outlook. "Materialism had just the
opposite effect as gratitude—almost like a mirror," says study co-author Jeffrey Froh, associate
professor of psychology at Hofstra University.
Internet shopping has made acquisition so easy, the value of goods can be harder to recognize.
"Today, if one of our boys needs a new pair of shoes, my wife goes on Zappos, picks out the color and
size, and they show up the next day in a FedEx FDX -0.75% box. No wishing. No prioritizing. No
desiring for something that is out of touch. Just click the button, and presto, the shoes arrive on our
doorstep," says Willy Walker, who heads commercial real estate finance firm Walker & Dunlop in
Bethesda, Md. "It drives me crazy."
He has reacted to this reality—so different from how he'd eye a pair of Pumas at the store for
months before ever getting them as a kid—with determination to keep consumption modest where
possible. So, he hasn't set up the Wii his kids received as a present. "They get plenty of video
entertainment all over, so why not scale back at home?" he says.
When his son wanted a cellphone for his 11th birthday, Mr. Walker set out to "get the Pinto
rather than the Cadillac." In this case, his resolve fell away when challenged by factors like ease and
quality. "The Pintos didn't really limit access to texting or Web-browsing. They just did everything
worse than the more expensive phones. So we got him an iPhone 4S. Ugh."
A 2013 study in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin that tracked materialism in 355,000
high school seniors from 1976 to 2007 found that desire for lots of money has increased markedly since
the mid-1970s, while willingness to work hard to earn it has decreased. Among kids surveyed, 62%
thought it was important to have lots of money and nice things between 2005 and 2007, while 48% had
this view from 1976 to 1978.
Kurt Gantert and Gabrielle Toledano post chores such as dishwashing and taking out the trash
for their kids to do. Laura Morton for The Wall Street Journal
"This subject is huge for us," says Gabrielle Toledano, an executive vice president at videogame
company Electronic Arts. EA -0.65% She and her husband live in San Francisco with their 9-year-old,
Amelie, and 12-year-old, Ben. Ms. Toledano, and her husband Kurt Gantert, a camp director and stayhome dad, are deliberate about finding everyday ways to remind their kids how good they've got it.
"We eat family dinner every night and thank Dad for making it," Ms. Toledano says. "We talk
about how I work hard so we can have nice food. If the kids don't come to the table when we call them, I
tell them it's rude, because someone has made an effort," she says.
6
The couple is committed to their kids' having part-time jobs when they are old enough. "They
should work in the back office or the kitchen," Ms. Toledano says. "There are interesting, hardworking
people there. You learn more about gratitude when you have friends who aren't as privileged as you
are," she says.
Despite good intentions, some parents are struggling with how to stoke the giving fires in their
children. "It's an uphill battle," says Andrea Rice, president of professional development coaching
business CareerCore. Her kids are 12 and 9. "We both work, so the kids have an au pair. They are
shuttled from A to B. They don't really struggle much. Because that's their reality, it doesn't matter how
much you say, 'Appreciate this, appreciate that,' " Ms. Rice says.
Everyday actions may be even more important than big efforts, researchers say. "Express
gratitude to your spouse. Thank your kids," Hofstra's Dr. Froh says. "Parents say, 'Why should I thank
them for doing something they should do, like clean their room?' By reinforcing this, kids will
internalize the idea, and do it on their own."
Still, Eastern Washington's Dr. Watkins cautions, "Don't shove it down their throats." His family
gives thanks at Thanksgiving, but it's not a formal process. "Don't make this, 'It's your turn, so say
something whether you feel it or not,' " he says.
UC Davis's Dr. Emmons believes gratitude is actually easier for kids. "As we get older, the give
and take of life is driven by expectations around tit-for-tat reciprocity. Kids have a natural affinity to
gratitude. They often teach parents as much or more about gratitude than the other way around."

Things to Ponder
You may give them your love
but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies
but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit,
not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward
nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which
your children as living arrows are sent forth.
