MEET the SESSION CLASS of 2024
|

At the Congregational Meeting Sunday, March 7, 2021, Ruling Elders to the Session Class of 2024 were unanimously elected. They are:
Janice Hill, Beverly Hooker and Erich Shultz
|
|
MEET THE SESSION CLASS of 2024
|
|
|
|
JANICE HILL
I have been a member of Balmoral for 27 years; I am not sure of my ordination date but it was approximately 18 years ago.
I have served on the Outreach Committee since ordination.
|
|
|
|
Service ministries in which I have been most active include our Habitat for Humanity build (many years ago), our Mexico Water Ministry, Mid-South Foodbank Sort and Distribution, Meals on Wheels for MIFA, and our Prison Ministry. I also have served as a leader for Sunday Studies, and currently I joyfully participate in the Bell Choir, Writer’s Circle, the Balmoral Book Club, Presbyterian Women and the Trouble I’ve Seen Small Group. My experience with this small group and our partnership with COF has been a great blessing, as have been all of my activities at Balmoral, and most especially the people in them.
My husband, Scott, and I have been married for nearly 44 years. We are thankful that Balmoral helped to raise our two daughters, Jennie and Susan, now grown. Susan lives in Brooklyn, NY and Jennie and her husband, Sean, live in Nashville with their children Emma (2) and Owen (5).
What I hope for our congregation is that we continue to pursue how we can better demonstrate God’s compassion and justice for one another and all people.
|
|
Beverly Hooker
My husband Bill and I have been members of Balmoral since 1984. Ann R Held, a college friend, performed our wedding ceremony in 1983, and recommended BPC. We have been here since then.
|
|
|
|
This will be my third time to be an elder—one time when Bill Jones was pastor, and another time with Carla.
At Balmoral I have been involved with Christian Education for a while. Several years ago Rosemary Banta asked a few of us to be on that committee. After she died I have taken the lead to work with our committee to look over and select materials we can use each year. Cathy and Clinton Bailey, Renee Mitchell, Glenda Ellis and I are members of this team.
I love music, and have been in the bell choir at this church. Occasionally I have sung in the choir. The music here is wonderful!
Bill and I have also gone on trips to Mexico for the Cistern Building project for clean water in Xpujil, Mexico. It is hard work, but definitely fulfilling.
Other activities I have enjoyed doing is work at Regional One Health in the Gift Shop. I volunteer there once a week (in normal times). Balmoral was instrumental in founding Johnson Auxiliary with a couple of other churches, and our church makes yearly contributions to the hospital for some of the needs there. Our church has donated to our Clothes Closet there also. I am also an ESL tutor with the Collierville Literacy Council.
Besides Jessica, Sean, Jack and Emmy, our other family members are son Joseph and his wife Emily. Joseph was baptized at Balmoral. Both Jessica and Joseph enjoyed being in the Balmoral Youth Group here.
I hope our church continues doing good work in the community and beyond. I am happy to be a part of this congregation.

Erich Shultz
Erich Shultz, happily retired from the practice of law, is now happily partnered with wife Cynthia Stanley in operating DeSoto Kennels where they board dogs.
|
|
|
|
Erich has been a member of Balmoral since 1990, is a part of the choir and Memphis Men Of Harmony barbershop chapter. Erich's children Rachel Lynn and Tom were part of the church family, too. This is Erich's first time to serve on Session and will be ordained on Pentecost.
Erich hopes to take part in keeping up the Balmoral tradition of service and worship.

BOOK CLUB for MARCH
HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED
Tuesday, March 23, 2021 2:30pm
(please note the time change)
|
|
The BPC Book Club postponed their regular meeting day due to scheduling problems and has now been RESCHEDULED to March 23, when we will discuss our March book selection:
The Nikel Boys by Colson Whitehead
(discussion leader: Do Kaiser)
|
|
In this Pulitzer Prize-winning, New York Times bestselling fiction book based on the real story of a reform school in Florida that operated for 111 years and whose cruel practices warped the lives of thousands of boys who were sent there. A devastating, driven narrative that showcases a great American novelist writing at the height of his powers.
|
|
In case you missed it, Colson Whitehead was on 60 Minutes 3/7. Watch his interview here:
|
|
Looking ahead, here are the books we have identified for the rest of the academic year:
April 13: The Last Castle by Denise Kiernan, Led by Kathrine Getske
May 11: All Over But the Shouting by Ricky Bragg, led by Cathy Bailey
June 8: The Overstory by Richard Powers, led by Bob Kaiser

May the blessings of light be on you—light without and light within.
May the blessed sunshine shine on you and warm your heart until it glows like a great peat fire — so that the stranger may come and warm himself, and also a friend.
|
|
And may the light shine out of the two eyes of you, like a candle set in two windows of a house, bidding the wanderer to come in out of the storm. |
|
May the blessing of the Rain be on you—the soft, sweet rain.
May it fall upon your spirit, so that all the flowers may spring up, and shed their sweetness on the air.
|
|
And may the blessing of the Great Rains be on you: may they beat upon your spirits and wash it fair and clean and leave there many a shining pool, where the blue heaven shines reflected —
and sometimes a star.
|
|
And may the blessing of the Earth be on you—the great round earth.
May you ever have a kindly greeting for those you pass, as you're going along the roads.
|
|
May the earth be soft under you. When you lie out upon it, tired at the end of the day. And may it rest easily over you, when at last you be out under it.
May it rest so lightly over you that your soul may be quickly through it, and up, and off, and on its way to God.

A PINECREST TREAT
for EASTER
|
|
Hot cross buns are rich with history, dating back to the 12th century. They're yeasted sweet buns filled with spices and various fruits such as currants, raisins, and/or candied citrus. They're decorated with a white cross, either marked right into the dough or etched on top with icing.
The bun marks the end of Lent and different parts of the hot cross bun have a certain meaning, including the cross representing the crucifixion of Jesus, and the spices inside signifying the spices used to embalm him at his burial. They are now available all year round in some places.
Pinecrest Cinnamon Rolls are legendary.... For this Easter, Pinecrest wants to make HOT CROSS BUNS available for Easter Week!

IN THE NEWS AROUND MEMPHIS

Council Approves
Ida B. Wells Monument
|
|
Memphis City Council members authorized a monument to civil rights pioneer Ida B. Wells near the Downtown church where she once had an office.
The monument will be on the southeast corner of Beale and Fourth streets near Robert R. Church Park and First Baptist Church-Beale.
|
|
Wells was born a slave in Holly Springs, Mississippi, in 1862 during the Civil War. After yellow fever epidemic hit Holly Springs, Wells lost her parents and infant brother to the disease. She left Holly Springs for a teaching job in Memphis to keep the rest of the family together.
In 1884, after being forced off a train car because she was African American, despite having a ticket, she successfully sued the company in local court and won. However, the result was overturned in federal court. The incident inspired her to become a journalist.
In 1892 another life-altering event spurred Wells’ interest in investigative work on lynching in the South. Three African American men — Thomas Moss, Calvin McDowell and Will Stewart — were all killed by a white mob on March 9, 1892. The three men ran a successful grocery store in Memphis, and the conflict arose because they were taking business from white grocer William Barnett, according to Lynching Sites Project Memphis.
Before the lynching, there were several altercations between the white mob and Moss, McDowell and Stewart. The three were eventually arrested following these altercations, before being killed by the white mob days later.
After the People’s Grocery killings, Wells focused her efforts on determining the real reasons African Americans were being lynched and looked at several cases in regards to white mob violence through her investigative journalism.
She would write several articles about her findings in local newspapers. Her expose about the People’s Grocery lynching — that included her friend, Moss — enraged local whites, who burned her press office Free Speech and Headlight in retaliation. As a result of the constant death threats, Wells fled Memphis for Chicago a few months after her expose.
She would later travel internationally sharing her findings on lynching, and confront those in the suffrage movement who ignored the incidents and their impact in the African American community.
In her later years, Wells was the founder of the National Association of Colored Women’s Club, created to address issues dealing with civil rights and women’s suffrage. She also played a key role in the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

After a surge of vaccinations, the numbers of vaccinations completed have leveled off. A disastrous switch to the TN State's website for appointments, the city fell back to their own appointment website, which is now working well again.
We are still in Phase 1c, but all those 65+ and all teachers are included. So if you are eligible, please make your appointment!
|
|
New cases per day have stayed steady around the 100 mark.
Avoid another surge by keeping groups small, even for those fully vaccinated, over the Easter holiday and Spring Break!

ONE GREAT HOUR of SHARING |
|
Because We
Are the Church, Together
|
|
Life during COVID has been challenging. That feels like an understatement, right? At times, we have all felt disconnected, confined. Missing family, missing friends. Lonely. Worried about the groceries holding out. Unsure of what the future may hold. Imagine feeling all of those things but living in a place or in a situation that was already challenging each and every day without the added pressure of the pandemic. A place where access to food is day to day. Access to vital health care is questionable. Finding clean water is a daily struggle. A place where you are denied racial justice or plagued with outright violence and oppression.
But one thing remains steadfast and true: We are the Church, together, no matter where we are, and the Church belongs with those struggling for justice, righteousness and peace for life.
Because food is life … gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing are helping the people of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota through a partnership with Owe Aku — a grassroots, nonprofit organization that puts people in charge of their own food supply, nutrition, health and well-being by reclaiming ancestral wisdom and teaching Lakota history and culture. The Pine Ridge Reservation is a food desert, located in the county with the lowest per capita income in the nation. The pandemic has dramatically amplified the desperate need for food security.
Because water is life … gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing are helping the families of Capirendita in a remote area of Bolivia face a more hopeful future by building infrastructure to address the communities’ critical water shortage. Their goal is to create 500 meters of pipes to transport safe well water to those in need. One Great Hour of Sharing gifts will also support the distribution of plastic containers to collect and save rainwater.
Because survivors are key to shaping lives focused on justice for all … gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing are helping Black Women’s Blueprint in its mission to take action on social justice issues and to deliver educational resources and support services to women, including those who have suffered sexual and other forms of abuse. Their work seeks to address the unique struggles of Black women and girls within the context of the larger racial justice concerns. They’re not just addressing issues of trauma but they’re also providing things like food and housing assistance that people need in order to be whole.
The Special Offerings of the PC(USA), including One Great Hour of Sharing, offer the whole Church a way to embody Matthew 25 through the Spirit-inspired stories and gifts that place us in service and partnership with those who have least. Our gifts directly support people experiencing hunger, homelessness, thirst, imprisonment, sickness and deprivation, as well as welcoming the stranger. One Great Hour of Sharing is the largest way that Presbyterians come together in mission and ministry with those whom we see are in need.
Because we are the Church, together … we give to One Great Hour of Sharing because of where the Church belongs, of who the church is. Please give generously so that our Church will continue to become, as Isaiah said, “repairers of the breach.” And as we always say: When we all do a little, it adds up to a lot..
|
|
Let us pray ~
God of life, be with us. May we see you in the lives of all we meet, and may we offer ourselves in kindness and kinship to all those in need. Amen.
For over 70 years, One Great Hour of Sharing has provided Presbyterians a way to share God’s love with our neighbors in need around the world. Millions of people lack access to sustainable food sources, clean water, sanitation, education, and opportunity. Typically received during the season of Lent, each gift to One Great Hour of Sharing supports efforts to relieve hunger through the Presbyterian Hunger Program, promote development through the Presbyterian Committee on the Self-Development of People, and assist in areas of disaster through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. Join with Presbyterians worldwide in sharing God’s love with our neighbors-in-need around the world by providing relief from natural disasters, food for the hungry, and support for the poor and oppressed. Send your gifts made out to Balmoral Presbyterian, with your check marked for OGHS in the comments by Monday, April 5.

While St. Patrick’s Day is now associated with wearing green, parades (when they're not canceled) and beer, the holiday is grounded in history that dates back more than 1,500 years. The earliest known celebrations were held in the 17th century on March 17, marking the anniversary of the death of St. Patrick in the 5th century. Learn more about the holiday’s history and how it evolved into the event it is today. Here are some facts about this holiday. |
|
1. The Real St. Patrick Was Born in Britain
Much of what is known about St. Patrick's life has been interwoven with folklore and legend. Historians generally believe that St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was born in Britain (not Ireland) near the end of the 4th century. At age 16 he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and sold as a slave to a Celtic priest in Northern Ireland. After toiling for six years as a shepherd, he escaped back to Britain. He eventually returned to Ireland as a Christian missionary.
|
|
2. There Were No Snakes Around for St. Patrick to Banish from Ireland
Among the legends associated with St. Patrick is that he stood atop an Irish hillside and banished snakes from Ireland—prompting all serpents to slither away into the sea. In fact, research suggests snakes never occupied the Emerald Isle in the first place. There are no signs of snakes in the country’s fossil record. And water has surrounded Ireland since the last glacial period. Before that, the region was covered in ice and would have been too cold for the reptiles.
|
|
3. Leprechauns Are Likely Based on Celtic Fairies
Leprechauns are known as mischievous Irish fairies.
The red-haired, green-clothed Leprechaun is commonly associated with St. Patrick’s Day. The original Irish name for these figures of folklore is “lobaircin,” meaning “small-bodied fellow.” Belief in leprechauns likely stems from Celtic belief in fairies— tiny men and women who could use their magical powers to serve good or evil. In Celtic folktales, leprechauns were cranky souls, responsible for mending the shoes of the other fairies.
|
|
4. The Shamrock Was Considered a Sacred Plant
Three-leaf clovers symbolize spring.
he shamrock, a three-leaf clover, has been associated with Ireland for centuries. It was called the “seamroy” by the Celts and was considered a sacred plant that symbolized the arrival of spring. According to legend, St. Patrick used the plant as a visual guide when explaining the Holy Trinity. By the 17th century, the shamrock had become a symbol of emerging Irish nationalism.
|
|
5. The First St. Patrick’s Day Parade Was Held in America
While people in Ireland had celebrated St. Patrick since the 1600s, the tradition of a St. Patrick’s Day parade began in America and actually predates the founding of the United States.
A St. Patrick’s Day parade was held on March 17, 1601 in a Spanish colony in what is now St. Augustine, Florida. More than a century later, homesick Irish soldiers serving in the English military marched in Boston in 1737 and in New York City on March 17. Enthusiasm for the St. Patrick’s Day parades in New York City, Boston and other early American cities only grew from there. In 2020 and 2021, parades throughout the country, including in New York City and Boston were canceled or postponed for the first time in decades due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus.
|
|
6. The Irish Were Once Scorned in America
While Irish Americans are now proud to showcase their heritage, the Irish were not always celebrated by fellow Americans. Beginning in 1845, a devastating potato blight caused widespread hunger throughout Ireland. While approximately 1 million perished, another 2 million abandoned their land in the largest-single population movement of the 19th century. Most of the exiles—nearly a quarter of the Irish nation—came to the shores of the United States. Once they arrived, the Irish refugees were looked down upon as disease-ridden, unskilled and a drain on welfare budgets.
|
|
7. Corned Beef and Cabbage Was an American Innovation
The meal that became a St. Patrick’s Day staple across the country—corned beef and cabbage—was an American innovation. While ham and cabbage were eaten in Ireland, corned beef offered a cheaper substitute for impoverished immigrants. Irish-Americans living in the slums of lower Manhattan in the late 19th century and early 20th, purchased leftover corned beef from ships returning from the tea trade in China. The Irish would boil the beef three times—the last time with cabbage—to remove some of the brine.
