St. Peter's UCC

Tuesday, July 25, 2006, Rev. Karen Lipinczyk of St. Peter’s United Church of Christ, located just down the road from Jacob’s Village in Posey County on Highway 66 West, made a Pastoral visit. Rev. Karen arrived at the women’s home bearing gifts for all in the make up of a bag full of freshly harvested sweet corn. Her entrance was not long after all the residents had finished their evening meal about 7:00pm. Rev. Karen introduced herself, greeted residents Wanda, Donna Kay, Debbie, Mike, Michael, Scott, and home coordinators Janice and Barry. She began the evening prayer service ringing two Tibetan Chimes, two 4x6 silver chimes attached by a 12” string that clang against each other. The chimes would remind you of two large ding-a-ling-lings!!! She read scripture from Ephesians Chapter 2 that told of a shield of protection and how Jesus eliminated all barriers of confrontation. She played two inspirational songs from a CD while the latter one had arm & hand movements telling a story of when some people lie down for the night to sleep, on the other side of the world, some people are rising up for a new day of sunshine. Rev. Karen told us that before teaching at St. Peter’s UCC since January she was living in Alaska. We enjoyed Rev. Karen’s company and look forward to another visit with her. Upon leaving, she had more gifts for everyone. An art form originating in Mexico, made by St. Peter’s UCC Bible Vacation School kids, different colors of yarn weaved and wrapped around two crossed popsicle sticks called a ‘God’s Eye’.
