“We live in an age d i s t u r b e d , c o n f u s e d , bewildered, afraid of its own

forces, in search not merely of its road but even of its

direction. There are many voices of counsel, but few voices of

vision; there is much excitement and feverish activity, but

little concert of thoughtful purpose.

We are distressed by our ungoverned, undirected energies

and do many things, but nothing long. It is our duty to find ourselves."

Can you believe that President Woodrow Wilson made that statement in 1907 in an

a d d r e s s a t P r i n c e t o n University? Imagine what he

might have said if he were alive today.

What is it that makes

finding ourselves and growing to our potential difficult for

some people but not for

others? To a large extent, it's a bit of a catch-22. You have to know who you are in order to

grow to your potential. But you have to grow in order to know

who you are. So what’s the solution? Explore yourself as you explore growth.

The way to start is to pay attention to your passions

Psychotherapist Nathaniel Branden asserts, “The first step toward change is awareness.

The second step is acceptance.” If you want to change and

grow, then you must know yourself and accept who you are before

you can start building. This summer can be a wonderful time to get

to know yourself better, and make

definite concrete plans to grow into the new person Christ already

knows you are. See you on church!

From My Open Door

grow, then

you must know yourself

and accept

Envisioning the Future of Providence

Congregational Luncheon

Sunday, July 14 Help the Session envision the future staffing needs of our

church. Should we hire another Director of Christian Education?

Or should Providence focus on hiring a full time Youth Director? Should we hire someone skilled in young adult ministry to attract

young families? Or should we not hire anyone to fill the vacant Director of Christian Education position? And if we do decide to hire someone, is this to be a part time or full time position,

ordained or non-ordained person? Please set aside time following worship on Sunday July 14 so

that as a congregation we can have round table discussions

about our next staffing decision, all of which will help guide the Session in its staffing decisions.

Mission Outreach Evangelism

Detention Ministry Perseverance, respect and love were the

topics we chose to discuss with the 44 detainees

who gathered in the gym for our June meeting. Dewey chose our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, who never gave up despite failures, as

an example of perseverance. With Stephanie’s assistance the kids made a patriotic banner to hang at the Veterans Hospital for Flag Day. I

used Father’s Day to speak about respect and love in the important relationships in our lives.

Robert Harnly joined us this visit and helped

Debbie Buschert record prayer requests from each of the kids.

Please remember these young people in your

prayers. Louann Bielmann

Judeo Christian Outreach Friday, August 9 is our next opportunity to

serve at the Homeless Shelter in Virginia Beach.. The menu and the signup sheet will be on the Mission and Outreach bulletin board in

July. Put your name by the items you can bring and indicate if you would like to go to the shelter and serve the meal. Thank you for your

continued support of this ministry. Howard and Stephanie Boose

Partners in Education The school year is over and

t h e m a n y w o n d e r f u l

Providence volunteers who offered their time and energy at Fairfield Elementary can

relax for a couple of months. The staff and students will be looking forward to their return in the fall to help with

the Reading Café and Lunch Buddy programs. Thank you, and if you have not done so before, consider joining us in one or

both of these programs! If you are interested in participating speak to Dianne Stockmeier at church or call her at 547-0091.

Farm Fresh receipts have been tallied and Providence has contributed $19,307 which

equates to $193 worth of school supplies. Add to that almost 500 Box Tops (worth 10 cents each or $50) and 600 soup label points. These

contributions that are so easy to save make a big difference. Please continue to save Box Tops for collection starting again in

September. Thank you one and all.

St. Columba Ministry School Supplies for St Columba Ministries will be

collected in July and August. The Presbyterian Women will take school supplies to

distribute to low-income families before school begins. Items needed include back

packs, pencils, pens, wide-rule paper, scissors, crayons,

rulers, glue, folders, school boxes, etc. Place supplies in the boxes in the narthex and

foyer by August 18th. Hit the sales this summer and pick up some supplies for children in need!

ODU Meals Thank you Once again, the ODU students and I thank

you so much for stepping up to the plate this

year to provide monthly meals for this special ministry. Enjoy the summer before we refill the hungry students in the fall.

Cathy Polychroni

Providence Women’s Ministries

I t’s Summer….Yeah!!! Ladies, I am so proud to be one of

the Women of Providence. We continue to be involved in several ministries and from others we take a

summer rest. Our Beach Bag Ministry has ended for the school year after donating 233 bags of food to

Fairfield Elementary children helping keep tummies full over weekends. Thank you for over 2,400 donated food items and help assembling and delivering the

bags. Providence played a significant role in making this mission a great success for children and families

in our community. The Providence bus took our largest group of women to the Presbyterian Women’s 25th Synod of Mid-Atlantic Summer Gathering

at Massanetta Springs June 14-16. Our gathering included workshops, beautiful scenery and a tour of Sunnyside Retirement

Community where our former Providence friends, Pat & Rich Armstrong live. We enjoyed new friendships as well as time to relax and have fun. If you want more details, talk to one of our ladies who attended: Barbara Bishop,

Stephanie Boose, Cecilia Daley, Linda Dean, Stella Fitzgerald, Abbit Harvey, Carol Hickman, Karen Moore, Cathy Polychroni, Cathy Reese, Jennifer Rhode, Sandra Rushton and Donna

Zamorski.

Women, Come one… Come All…. for some fun in the sun.

Mark your calendars…August 10 (rain date: Aug 17th)

Whether you want to relax in the shade or sun, read a book, socialize or float

in the pool; pack your bag and join us for a ladies’ outing. No husbands, children or pets – just women having some fun, food and fellowship! Watch the PW bulletin board for more information and to sign-up.

Providence Women send our thoughts and prayers to the families of Virginia Wooddell and Edith Hill both of whom will be dearly missed. May they be having a reunion in heaven!

We will continue our involvement in mission activity during July and August. See page 3 for information about the St. Columba School Supplies Ministry. Check out the next page and

set aside Saturday, July 13, 9:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a Mission Crafts and Hobby Fun Day. Wishing you a healthy and fun summer!

God Bless you All!

Providence Post Music Notes from Valetta...

During the Sundays of June and July, when the choir takes a well-deserved break from their

weekly Wednesday rehearsals, we will have a "summer choir" in the chancel, a pick-up choir made up of any youth and adults who would like to sing! We will meet in the choir room about

20 minutes before worship to go over the hymns and prepare a simple introit, and we'll have special music (solos, duets, etc.) at the anthem time. I hope you'll consider singing with us on the Sundays you're in town. Everyone is welcome, and if you've ever considered being in the

choir, this is a perfect time to "test the waters." Every summer I look forward to the opportunity to "charge up my battery" at the annual

Virginia Wesleyan College Sacred Music Summer Conference the last week of July. I have been going to this week-long conference for over fifteen years, and every year, in addition

to catching up with my church musician friends, I come away with new ideas and new music. If my new knee cooperates, I plan on doing it again! Several evening events are open to the

public, and if you're able to attend, I know you would enjoy them. Here are the details:

Monday, July 22, 7:30 p.m. at Monumental Chapel on the campus of Virginia Wesleyan

College - Worship in the Taize Style of Christian Prayer

Wednesday, July 24, 7:30 p.m. at Great Bridge Presbyterian Church, 333 Cedar Road,

Chesapeake – To Love Our God, festival worship with Mark Hayes conducting the 100-voice

Wesleyan Worship Choir, the Great Bridge Baptist Handbell Choir, and Friends of the Groom

theatre troupe.

Thursday, July 25, 7:30 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 300 36th St., Virginia Beach –

The Journey: Our Christian Heritage in Hymns, a hymn festival on the life of a Christian through music and the spoken word, with Robert Hobby, organist, and Dr. Craig Wansink, Professor of

Religious Studies at Virginia Wesleyan College.

Saturday, July 27, 7:30 p.m. at Christ and St. Luke's Episcopal Church, 560 W. Olney

Road, Norfolk – Finale, a concert of sacred classics featuring the 90-voice Wesleyan Festival Chorus under the direction of Philip Brunelle, with Kevin Kwan, organist, and the Virginia

Symphony Brass.

Best wishes for a wonderful summer!

Providence Post Dear Church Family, On behalf of the

family of Bill Hiller, thank you so much for the cards, visits,

express ions of sympathy, and prayers during the recent illness and passing of our father and

grandfather. The warmth and caring of this congregation are without equal, and we appreciate every kindness.

Valetta Fellenbaum

Dear Providence Friends, Thank you for the cards, visits, phone

calls, offers to help, and yummy food

during my recent knee operation and recovery. Your many acts of kindness helped to make a painful experience much

more pleasurable! Valetta Fellenbaum

Thanks so much to the Presbyterian

Women for honoring me with the "Woman of the Year" award, the certificate, lovely carnations, the Sanctuary bouquet and the

very beautiful pin. Thanks also to all of you who expressed your congratulations and good wishes. I am so in your debt

and will surely wear my pin with great pride and much love for all of you.

In His love,

In Memoriam

Wilbert W. Hiller

August 21, 1918 – May 31, 2013

Wilbert W. (Bill) Hiller was an active member of

Providence Presbyterian church since August 2005. In the 94 years he graced our lives, he was an inspiring and caring minister, a gifted artist, a

devoted husband, father and grandfather, a friend to everyone he met, and "grandpa" to far more than his own grandchildren. He had a zest for life and an

appreciation for the beauty of nature that endeared him to all. Bill is survived by his daughters, Valetta Fellenbaum and Cheryl Jorban; two grandsons, Kyle

Fellenbaum (Katrina) and Eric Jorban (Hemita) and their children.

Edith Hill became a charter member of

Providence Presbyterian church on November 13, 1977. She served as a trustee of the church from 1978 to 2012 and was a member of the original

building committee. Edith taught Sunday School for nearly 30 years. Her Biblical knowledge was beyond compare. Edith was a member of the Pastor

Nominating Committee which brought Rev. Bell to Providence in 2000. She participated in VBS, Presbyterian Women, JCOC homeless meals, Care

Team, fellowship, nursery and the children’s choir (making their choir robes and costumes). Mission projects and missionaries were dear to her heart and

she gave her support to many. Edith is survived by three children, Lora “Bunny” Cutler (Roy), David Hill (Dawn) and Rebecca Freeman (Joe) and eleven

grand and great grandchildren, her sisters, Marjorie Hill and Dot Soule and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband of

60 years Charles “CJ” Hill, her daughter Linda Marlene, and sister Virginia Wooddell.

baptized, on Sunday, June 9, 2013.

Transportation Fund Our Providence bus

continues to stay busy

with trips by Youth, Gad-Abouts, Presbyterian Women and the Bell

Choir. This fund helps with the expenditures of the bus such as tags, inspections, gasoline and maintenance. On

Sunday, July 7 you will have the opportunity to contribute by using the “transportation envelope” in your box of

offering envelopes. Make checks payable to Providence Presbyterian with an indication for “transportation fund” and

place in the offering plate.
