A Voice in the Pines
Presbyterian Kirk in the Pines newsletter Volume XXIV, Issue 2, February, 2010
The Pastor’s Corner
Lent begins with Ash Wednesday — February 17 this year. It derives
its name from the Hebrew scriptures as those who repented put on
“sackcloth and ashes” as symbols of repentance.
With Christians from all over the world, we will also begin our
Lenten journey with worship and the imposition of ashes as well. Pastor
Don Trent and I will be marking those who come forward with the ashes
from last year’s palm fronds. In the sign of the cross, these ashes re-
mind us our mortality and dependence upon God.
We will also continue our Kirk tradition of worship and lunch to-
gether. Worship services are scheduled for 11 a.m. each Wednesday,
Sunday
followed by our traditional soup lunches at 11:30. Several of the Kirk’s Worship Service
retired pastors, as well as one CLP, will be leading worship each week. 10 a.m.
Rev. Don Trent will lead Feb 24; Rev Dave Nottrott on March 3;

Committees — Committees are an important part of the church. They provide members a chance to become
involved with the many church activities. Each member should look within themselves and pray to see where
they can best do God’s work. Review the committee description in the Church Policy and Organization Man-
ual. Then visit with the moderator of the committee to see if there is a place for you. The following is a list of
the committees and the moderators:

December is a special giving time for members of the Kirk – As a result of the giving nature of the congre-
gation, several families and children had a happier Christmas. The Presbyterian Women Circles provided a
full Christmas dinner along with clothing and gifts for six families. A total of 103 gifts were delivered to chil-
dren in Vera Lloyd Children’s Home, Glenhaven Youth Ranch and to Head Start children in Mountain Pine
and North Garland County programs.
Church closes on property – On Jan. 20, 2010, the church closed on the adjoining property. It was paid to-
tally with money given to the special fund for land purchase. This land will open opportunities in the future.
Building and General Fund:
General Fund—for the month of December, the general fund expenditures exceeded receipts by $20,280. For
the year the expenditures exceeded receipts by $2,995.
Building Fund – In December the building fund receipts exceeded the expenditures by $3,115. For the year
the receipts exceeded the expenditures by $5,519.
Deaths within the church family: Millie Smart, Dec. 5, 2009 and Jody Creighton, Dec. 28, 2009.
Our prayers are for the families of these members.

Haiti Disaster Relief
Checks for donations should be made out to Presbyterian Kirk in the Pines and marked “Haiti Disaster
Relief.” Donations will be posted to member's contribution for 2010.
These will be sent to the Presbytery of Arkansas and the Kirk will receive credit for them as part of our
mission giving. All money will be included on our monthly report to Presbytery.
Please remember the thousands of suffering Haitian people in your daily prayers.

New Territory by the Christian Friendship Program
An interview with Mary Wright, age 82, about her decision to relocate to Good Samaritan Campus.
— By Dotty Rector
Q: Mary, you’ve had somewhat of a different experience from Roberta Shock who has made plans to
eventually move near family. Here you are living in an apartment at Cedar Lodge. What prompted this
decision?
A: I hadn’t thought much about moving to Good Sam until Mary Dean moved here. We were friends and I
liked her apartment. We had to look at finances and show it to the kids. Good Sam called us with an avail-
able apartment, so we put our house on the market. We got a six-month mortgage in order to buy in.
Q. Are you satisfied with your decision?
A. I just love it here. Everything is paid for except the telephone and they take care of maintenance. They have
home health available too. They are so nice and caring.
Q: What do your children think?
A: They thought it was a wonderful idea. One of my two children lives just an hour away. The other lives in
Wisconsin, where I couldn’t stand the weather.
Q: Did you consider other alternatives?
A: No. We would never go back to our home state of Minnesota. We couldn’t afford to, for one thing. We felt
we were moving in with friends.
Q: What values are important to you?
A: A Christian facility. Throughout my life, I always felt that God was with me.
Q: What advice would you give to others about their planning?
A: Don’t delay. Write down what you have in mind. You can change it.
Get your mind set that you’re going to have to go sometime, so start writing things down as to what you
might want to do. I told my kids, “I’m not being negative, but I have these ideas and I wrote them down.”
When Jack died all I had to do is pull out the packet and give it to Bill Bailey. People say “I don’t want to
think about that.” Okay, but it makes it so much easier. My parents had everything ready so there was
nothing for me to do. I’m the kind of a person who wants things in order.
