Welcome to your UPC family, Bailey Rose Trumpy!
Bailey was baptized on Sunday, June 1, 2014. She is
pictured here with her mother, Andrea Skibbe,
her father, John Trumpy, and her sister, Delana.
F ROM THE P ASTOR
I will be away A LOT this summer! I will be
enjoying a few different vacations—I just
returned from a family reunion in Ohio, and
later, I’ll attend a bi-annual gathering with my
dearest friends in Virginia, and I’ll spend a
week with my nuclear family at my brother’s
home in Beacon, NY. I have now been serving
as your pastor for about 10 months and it has
been a busy, but rewarding experience. As
each month passes, I know you all better, I get
more connected to Monroe, and I feel like I
have a better grasp of all that is happening
here at UPC. All that being said, I am
anxiously awaiting time to get away this
summer. It’s not only a tremendous joy to be with my family and friends, but I also consider time for
fun and rest to be good for our minds, bodies, and souls. Indeed, after a busy week of creating, even
God rested and was glad to do so! We have been commanded to rest on the Sabbath, and scripture is
full of verses concerning allowing land to lay fallow, for rest, and allowing time for “every matter under
heaven.” I thank you all for allowing me to take this time for recreation, renewal, and rest. I hope to
return feeling invigorated, inspired, and excited to kick off another meaningful programmatic year.
It is also my hope that you all, too, will be able to take some time off this summer for relaxation and
reflection. Frequently, stopping to smell the roses, to simply sit and “be” in the moment, to not have to
worry about deadlines, to enjoy good food and company, etc. enables us to gain important insights we
may not be able to obtain when we are in the midst of jam-packed work days. Truly, we want to lead
productive lives, but we do not want to regret forgoing relationships, time with family, and doing those
things that give us joy for the sake of our work. Pastors are particularly fortunate that we are also
given two weeks of “study leave” in addition to our vacation time. These two weeks can be used for
catching up on reading, for conferences, for continuing education classes, for new experiences, etc. I’ll
also be heading to Cambodia for two weeks to visit some South Korean friends from seminary who are
now serving as long-term missionaries in various ministries in Cambodia. As you know from my
frequent references to such trips in my sermons, I gain a lot from challenging my comfort zone in far
reaches of the world. I find I am often shaken up, I am overwhelmed with new experiences, and I am
exposed to many special human universals, all of which stimulate reflection about God, life, and our
world. And then, hopefully, such reflections and conversations can lead to a more faithful life
dedicated to peace, justice, and good will for all people and all of creation. I look forward to sharing
more about my adventures with you, and I, too, look forward to hearing about your adventures.
Whether you have an epic road trip planned, or you just want to spend more time in your garden or
with a good book, I wish you all a relaxing, restful, fun, and meaningful summer!
“Take rest—a field that has rested
gives a bountiful crop.”
God’s Peace,
Jesse

MISSION NEWS
Green County Interfaith Food Pantry
Because there are fewer food drives during the summer and children are home from school,
the food pantry has an increase in the number of clients coming for food.
If you are able, please consider donating food items throughout the summer for families in need. Thank you!
Pentecost Offering
1/3 of Pentecost offering stays with the local community. This amount is directed to go to the summer youth programs
of the Monroe Department of Parks and Recreation.
UPC Garden
The garden has been tilled and planted. Many thanks to George, Al, Tiffany,
Marilyn, Wes, and Bruce for their help tilling and planting. We appreciate it!
We have a sign up sheet in the entry way of church to sign up for a week to water
the garden, if needed. The hose is attached to the back of the church and ready
to go. Please roll it up when done on the new hose holder.
Every Sunday evening at 7:00 P.M. we will have a garden night to care for our
garden. All gardeners and non-gardeners are welcome.
All food produced from our garden will be taken to Green County Food Pantry.
We look forward to another fun year of gardening.

As the school year comes to a close, we want to celebrate those who have graduated, as well as all those who helped
teach and guide them in life and in our faith. As we all eagerly anticipate a fun summer full of relaxing, warm days,
we also want to take time to acknowledge the great variety of ways we all work together toward the Kingdom of God,
as well as to keep our own church afloat! A big thank you to all the creative ways you all give of your time, talent, and
treasure to our church, our community, and our world!

CHURCH LEAGUE SOFTBALL!
This summer, UPC is participating in Church League
Softball! Our games are on Friday evenings and they are
a lot of fun. And, there is still time to sign up! We take
any and all skill levels—and we also know that many folks
probably won’t make it to most of our games. That’s
fine—participate when you can. And, if you aren’t up for
playing, we’d still love to have you with us, cheering us on!
Many thanks to Dave Mosher and Associates for providing
us with softball t-shirts.
For more information, please contact Gwen Ambrose at
608-214-7538.
MEMBERSHIP AND CHURCH LIFE
Sunday Garden Fellowship!
After worship on Sunday, June 22, the congregation is invited to the Ross backyard for our after worship fellowship time.
Ride or walk two blocks south of the church to 2523 7th Street, on the corner of 26th Avenue and 7th Street.
Refreshments will be provided. You may sit and visit and tour the garden, if you like.
We're hoping for a nice, sunny morning and flowers in bloom.
Welcome all!
— Bill and Marilyn
A big thank you to the following who have helped provide goodies for our fellowship time this summer: Jerry & Sue Boelke,
Bill and Carol Baker, Maynard & Jonna Heins, and Wes & Gwenie Krupke, as well as to everyone who
helps to set up and clean up. Many hands make light work!

DEACONS’ CORNER
“The Office of the Deacon is one of sympathy, witness, and service after the example of Jesus Christ. It is the duty of the
Deacons to minister to those in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to anyone who may be in distress.”
It has been a busy spring with regard to the amount of members in our church family who have been dealing with
health issues. Of course, struggling with diagnoses, illness, surgery, pain, etc. is always a scary and miserable process.
Thankfully, having a church family who upholds us with love, prayers, visits, and meals can make this process so much
easier and bearable. In the same way, some of our older members who can no longer join us for worship on Sundays
also can feel isolated and lonely. So, they, too, greatly appreciate visits or cards, letting them know they are not
forgotten. The truth is, we all enjoy hearing from our friends and church family. We hear so many times how touched
someone is when he or she receives a visit or a card. So, as our schedules become a little less crazy during these hot
summer months (hopefully!), we invite you to consider visiting, sending a card, or making a phone call to one or more
of the beloved individuals listed below. This list includes some members who are fighting cancer, others who can no
longer make it to church, and others who are still recovering after a serious issue. Let them know that you are thinking
of them and holding them in your prayers!

I stumbled upon this article on the website for Relevant Magazine—a magazine dedicated to faith, culture,
and intentional living. As you take time to reflect and dream this summer, perhaps some of these pointers
might further point you toward what God might be calling you to do next in your life. - Jesse
We long to count. We want to matter to the world. We long to make a difference. We get bored, tired, even
depressed by routine and monotony. We’re desperate for significance. We’re searching for acknowledgment.
We beam when someone says, “You matter.” We seek praise, accolades and awards, but somehow once we achieve
them, they feel empty and we move on to another desperate search for the next fix that will affirm our worth.
Can you relate?
You are specifically designed to impact the world in a way that no one else can. That’s the influence that has been
given to you and to no one else. You have a specific purpose, a calling that only you are qualified to fulfill. But
what does it look like? How do we discover it? How do we find passion and purpose in living out our
influence? Here are a few ideas:
1. Conduct a Self-Inventory.
Study yourself. It seems elementary, but life adds layers that you begin to absorb and adapt to, things that have
come to define you without your intention. Before long, you’ve lost sight of what is truly unique and different
about you. What are the gifts and talents you possess? What experiences and opportunities have shaped your life
thus far? This collection of gifts, talents, experiences and opportunities is unique to you.
It’s what begins to define and set you apart. Take time and reflect on these nuances that make you unique.
2. Build a Plan.
Much like an architect must create detailed designs for a project, we must take the elements of our self-inventory
and build a plan with them. What are the dreams and goals you hope to accomplish? What is the legacy you
desire to leave behind? As you may have heard, “begin with the end in mind.”
You won’t achieve what you don’t design.
3. Go Your Own Way.
We’re coached to observe other leaders, and I believe there is great wisdom in studying how others live their lives
and exert their influence. But if we’re not careful, we can succumb to mimicry rather than individuality.
Be humble enough to heed the wisdom of others and evaluate all the options, but be confident in the unique ways
that you are gifted and go your own way when necessary.
4. Resist What Holds You Back.
We quickly create excuses for why we can’t do what we long to do. Whatever the challenge you’re facing, you
must be aware of the resistance you create for yourself, often subconsciously. Rather than hold yourself back, you
need to lean in. It’s a posture of engagement rather than retreat. It’s an attitude of confidence rather than defeat.
5. Start Where You Are.
Every significant dream begins with seemingly insignificant steps. Construct the scaffolding that will support the
building of your vision. Approach each day with the intention to take another step, to lay another brick.
Read, study, learn, grow, network—do whatever will continue to build toward your goal. Define it every day and
evaluate your progress regularly.
We get to leave a mark. We are meant to make a difference. As Catherine of Siena so aptly put it, “Be who God
meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.”

The UPC Calendar—Keeping Us All in the Loop!
There is a lot going on at UPC—worship services, choir practices, committee meetings, fellowship
events, small groups, concerts, fundraisers, and the list goes on. And, we are having more and more
groups using our facility—The Venture Scouts, The Sons of Norway, The Monroe Women’s Club. So,
scheduling can be a complicated matter. But, thanks to our handy new website, we have an excellent
calendar which can be accessed from just about anywhere so we can stay on top of all that is happening
at UPC.
If you are hoping to host an event at our church, or if your committee is planning a meeting or
gathering, always be sure to consult our online calendar to make sure the date is available. Our events
will be much more successful if we aren’t competing with other church events or community events.
Of course, most events must be cleared by our Session, so plan in advance. Be sure to share the dates
of your meetings/events with Lisa or Jesse so they can save these dates on our online calendar.
Here is a link to our online calendar: http://www.unionpresbyterianchurch.org/calendar.html
Do notice that you can view the calendar by weeks or by months. Also, simply click on an event for
more details about that particular event. Thanks for your help!
A “Heal Grief and Education” group will be held at the
Monroe Clinic for six sessions, starting Wednesday, June
4th. The group will then meet every Wednesday evening
(6/4; 6/11; 6/18; 6/25; 7/2; 7/9) at the St. Camillus Center (2101 6th St.). This group is open to anyone over 18
years and older who has experienced the death of someone special. Learn about the grieving process and ideas for
coping and healing in a safe and supportive setting.
To register or for questions, please call the Monroe Clinic
Hospice office at 608-324-1230.
Men’s Breakfast/Book Group
The Men’s Breakfast/Book Group is
taking a break over the summer.
We will resume our 6:30 a.m. Monday
morning meetings in September.
This group is open and we’d love to
have others join us.
This summer we are reading
