by shelly king, contributing writer Many in our congregation are not aware. of just how culturally diverse our church. is. In addition to our two main Sunday-. morning worship services, we also offer. a vibrant Hispanic Ministry, Stonebriar en Español, as well as a newly formed, growing Chinese fellowship. Our Hispanic Ministry began in the fall of. 2001 with a Bible study comprised of one. couple, along with leader Carlos Zazueta,. sitting around a table. Amazingly, the. small group soon added 16 people, and. by Easter 2002, our Spanish worship service had officially begun. The first service had 35 attendees, but today our Hispanic congregation includes nearly. 300 adults, youth, and children. In January 2010, the flourishing ministry,. formerly known as Hispanic Ministries, began meeting in our Multi-Purpose. Room, and changed to its current name..
The ministry includes the 10:30 a.m.. Sunday service, with average weekly. attendance of nearly 200 people. Carlos. Zazueta, pastor of Hispanic Ministries,. preaches every Sunday, and in his. absence, Pablo Monroy, associate pastor,. mans the pulpit. Although the service is conducted completely in Spanish, English. stanzas are included in the worship songs,. and simultaneous English translation is. sometimes provided. Although 70 percent. of Stonebriar en Español’s attendees are fully bilingual and bicultural, they prefer to worship in Spanish. Stonebriar en Español also offers an Adult Fellowship and three discipleship classes,. Sundays at 9 a.m., plus home fellowships. and other small groups with more than. 120 people in regular attendance. Visit www.stonebriar.org/espanol for more. information in Spanish about this ministry..
Stonebriar en Español offers a Spanish worship service plus several classes and home fellowships.
John Hsu leads worship in our new Sundaymorning Chinese Adult Fellowship.
Our new Chinese ministry started in the. Fall of 2011 as an answer to several years. of prayer by church members of Chinese. heritage. Although founding members. John and Sarah Hsu feel very blessed. by our church’s solid biblical teaching. and had enjoyed visiting other Adult. Fellowships, they longed for a service in their native language of Mandarin.. Ultimately, the Hsus approached Pastor. Tony Cammarota, who encouraged them to start the ministry themselves. Feeling a bit overwhelmed by this task and not. certain how many people would attend,. they initiated the first gathering last. November. Although most attendees speak fluent English, they pray more. passionately in their native tongue. This fellowship currently meets monthly,. but it is the Hsus’ prayer that they will. begin to meet more frequently as more. people become aware of the group. Those interested should contact. chinesefellowship@stonebriar.org to confirm meeting dates.

mayans, preppers, and (solar) flares, OH MY! the end of all things is near . . . Maybe you haven’t been informed, but. according to a wide variety of sources from ancient history to present-day scientists,. 2012 is purported to be the year life on earth will be dramatically changed or end. altogether. I know, you’ve heard this. before—prophets, pundits, and paranoid. preachers have set dates throughout time for the Rapture, Armageddon, World War III,. and/or the end of the world as we know it. However, 2012 seems to be different: “Never have so many people from diverse backgrounds and viewpoints pinpointed one day [12-21-12] as the expiration date for. human civilization”—Dr. Mark Hitchcock, 2012, The Bible & The End of The World, p.12. Google “2012 Apocalypse,” or check for books with 2012 in the title. If you’re not. up to reading, then search cable or network. channels for movies, series, and programs. such as Doomsday Preppers, Nostradamus Effect,
2012: Countdown to Armageddon, or Roland Emmerich’s movie, 2012. If you really want to keep up with the times, download one of the many 2012 apocalyptic apps available for hand-held devices. I have the Apocalypse 2012 app, and can tell you that (as I type) only 296 days, 12 hours, and 37 minutes. are left to do your Christmas shopping.. Oh, wait, about Christmas this year . . . . What’s all the fuss about 2012? Specifically,. why is 12-21-12 so special, and by special,. I mean cataclysmic? It has much to do with. the ancient Mayan Long-Count Calendar.. According to several Mayan-history experts. and many 2012ologists, the calendar’s final cycle began August 11, 3114 BC and ends December 21, 2012 AD. The. real kicker is that this date coincides. with the Galactic Alignment, an astronomical event that has never before. occurred in human history. Author. Lawrence Joseph, in his book Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation into Civilization’s End, predicts the Galactic Alignment will occur when the earth, sun, and center of. our Milky Way are aligned at the Winter. Solstice, 11:11 p.m. universal time on December 21, 2012, the end date of the. fifth and final cycle of the Mayan. Long-Count Calendar. The significance of. the Galactic Alignment is that the earth. will be cut off from the gravitational center. of our galaxy by the sun for the first time. in 26,000 years. When this takes place, so they say, things. will change like never before. The predicted.

result ranges anywhere from magnetic pole. shifts or reversal, to loss of all earth-orbiting. satellites, to severe solar storms and. flares that will heat the earth’s core. triggering super-volcanoes, earthquakes,. and catastrophic weather changes, to. (and I’m not making this up) alien invasion for the harvesting of human souls, to the. combining of Texas A&M and the University. of Texas into one super-institution (okay, I made that up). . With additional predictions and recent. threats of terrorism, global financial. collapse, upheaval and unrest in the middle-east, nuclear threats from North. Korea and Iran, and the ever-present. concerns of a super-resistant strain of. influenza or some other pandemic disease, we’re looking at some troubling tribulations, and then some! Apocalypsepalooza, anyone?. The often-overwhelming proliferation of. 2012 propaganda can easily create fear and distract us from the One who told us that. in this world we would have tribulation. (John 16:33). Jesus offers His presence and peace to overcome our fears in this world (John 14:1, 27). Jesus told us regarding the. end of the age, “See to it that no one misleads. you . . . but of that day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone (Matthew 24:4, 36). We’ve never been closer to the Rapture of the. Church than now (1 Thessalonians 4:17).. If you are in Christ, you can, by God’s. mercy and grace, anticipate with joy, the blessed hope of Jesus’ return!
But what about those who do not have this blessed hope? What about those who keep reading and hearing all this bad news? Where’s the good news for them? If we who have been redeemed by Christ. truly want to be sons and daughters of. Issachar (1 Chronicles 12:32), here are some. things we can consider in light of the. current 2012 dialogue:
there’s a lot of fear-mongering The Good News of Jesus Christ has much. to say about fear. The perfect love of God. demonstrated through Jesus’ life, death,. burial, and resurrection removes our fear. and replaces it with perfect peace. (1 John 4:18, Philippians 4:7). We can pray. this for those who don’t know the love of. Christ and be vessels of this love to. them. Look for ways that the Lord can. speak His peace and let His love lead. you in every relationship you have,. especially in times like these. Be fervent. in love.
the 2012 dialogue is replete . with biblical language Apokalypsis is the Greek term from which. we get the word “Apocalypse.” In Scripture. this term primarily means “an unveiling,. disclosure, or revelation.” It describes how. our eternal God lovingly, graciously, and. sovereignly unfolds His plan to man. through history for His glory! In the. world, this term has become one-. dimensional, used only to describe a. state of terrifying destruction, catastrophe,. and mayhem. Leading with our ears. (James 1:19), we have an opportunity to.
engage those who speak of an apocalypse. of destruction and fear with the apocalypse. (revealing) of the Good News of Jesus Christ.. Be apocalyptic—let Christ be revealed in. your response and actions toward others.
“The end of all things is at hand; therefore,. be of sound judgment and sober spirit. for the purpose of prayer. Above all, keep. fervent in your love for one another, because. love covers a multitude of sins” 1 Peter 4:7–8.
there’s a deep desire for . change in the world
You see, the end IS near. You know what to do.
Does it appear to you that natural and man-made disasters seem to be increasing. in frequency and destruction? Many. 2012ologists attribute this increase to solar. and galactic forces that are part of the 2012. phenomena. I often wonder if it is creation. groaning with birth pangs, longing for. freedom from the futility and slavery of. sin’s corruption and the revealing of God’s. redemptive glory (Romans 8:18–25). In a. world marred by sin, those who don’t share our hope place trust in man or some. other false idol to rescue our planet.. However, our only hope for change and. real transformation is in Jesus Christ. Be. prayerful and intentional in pointing to. Christ as the only means of real. transformation and redemption. So, is the end really near? I think so, but I don’t know when . . . And I won’t try to set. a date! That’s not what the Lord desires of. His followers. He desires for us to live each. day as unto Him, free of fear and worry, full. of His love and peace. Nearly 2,000 years ago The Apostle Peter wrote to followers of Christ living in times that seemed to. be quickly moving from bad to worse. It was a time of fear, doomsday scenarios,. and desperate desire for change. His exhortation was as clarion to them. then as it is to us today:

PAUL THOMPSON
by sarah scherdt, graphic designer
Not everyone can say they love what they do. Paul Thompson is blessed to be one of those who can. For the past three years, he has been our church’s Music Associate,. a creative position he thoroughly enjoys. Paul has been composing music since his freshman year at Pensacola. Christian College, where he completed both undergraduate (voice education) and graduate studies (choral conducting). Music has always been part of his life, and his studies allowed him to explore other musical avenues such as percussion and oboe. So, just what does the composing process look like? For Paul, it includes. grabbing a cup of coffee and disappearing into the piece of music. He ponders. the options of absolute extremes—canons, horns, and belting choirs. He then. considers what can be kept to best convey the meaning of the verses. Paul. desires to stretch the audience beyond the expected four chords; he believes that. God has given us so much more. Paul is excited about the musical philosophy at our church, believing strongly. in hymnity—the vibrant music that teaches the doctrine of Christ. He hopes to bring new sounds into the mix that will showcase God’s infinite creativity. Recently, Paul welcomed a pocket beagle into his musical life. C.K., named. after Paul’s favorite super hero’s alter ego (Clark Kent), has no problem howling. along to his owner’s voice. The duo’s daily four-mile run gives Paul time to think about his projects. Perhaps it’s a composition you’ll enjoy at Easter or something. special for one of his 21 nieces and nephews. Either way, it’s sure to be spectacular.
by kenny courtenay, creative director We drove up to the century-old farmstead, oddly located in the midst of an affluent Frisco subdivision, and were greeted by a. friendly little elderly couple, Charlie and. Anne Pearson. My coworker and I were there to interview them and record a video to be. shown during one of our worship services. . The Pearsons were a delightful couple—. holding hands and finishing one another’s. sentences. Charlie was an enthusiastic. storyteller, and once started, Anne would. nudge him in the ribs to get him back on track with our interview. I couldn’t help. but think of how I hoped to have a. relationship like theirs when I reached. their age. . That was five years ago. Anne has since. passed away, and Charlie, now in declining health, lives at the farm alone. Born in Frisco. nearly 90 years ago, Charlie is a fascinating person who has lived an extraordinary life. Charlie served in the Marines during World War II, where he participated in several. historic events. He fought in the battle. of Okinawa as a field artillery spotter.. “We took it away from them,” said Charlie,.

speaking of how the Marines secured the island from the hands of 100,000. highly trained Japanese troops. In 1945, Charlie was ordered to have a. one-on-one meeting with Brigadier General. William T. Clement, after which, his. regiment was chosen to be the very first Allied troops to set foot in Japan. following the dropping of the atomic. bombs. Their mission was to determine whether or not the Japanese surrender was. legitimate, and to ensure that Tokyo. was safe before our military dignitaries. arrived to officially accept their surrender. At age 65, Charlie was recruited to help. build a Christian center in Africa. This was the beginning of a 20-year stint of missions. ministry that took the Pearsons to the ends. of the Earth, including Iraq, Africa, China,. South Korea, Germany, Romania, France,. and England. “That was the most exciting. time of my life,” said Charlie, “If we were available, we went.” The Pearsons were blessed with four. daughters, one of whom serves as a. missionary with her husband in Africa..
Another of their daughters, Libby, died 33. years ago in a tragic farm accident. It took. the Pearsons a long time to recover from. this loss. Their dependence on the Lord and in one another helped them get through those darkest of days. Anne suffered a stroke in 2009 and. spent the final three years of her life in a nursing home. Demonstrating sacrificial. love, Charlie visited her every day during. this time. “I was there every morning. when she opened her eyes and stayed. to put her to bed at night,” said Charlie.. The Pearsons had been married 63 years. Marathon, Charlie’s adult fellowship, provided tremendous support for him after Anne’s stroke. Classmates showered him. with prayer, provided meals and. transportation for him, and continue to. care for him today. Every Sunday, Marathon
members pick him up and drive him. to church. Charlie loves to brag about. Marathon—especially of its teacher, Dr. Stanley Toussaint. In Charlie’s words,. “He’s one of the world’s greatest expository Bible teachers.” Faced with the reality that his days. remaining on Earth are short, Charlie. cheerfully said, “I’m not afraid of. death.” With a look of joy on his face,. he spoke about how much he looks. forward to seeing Anne and Libby again, knowing beyond doubt that they will. all spend eternity together in the presence. of the Lord. Thank you, Charlie, for the great example you’ve set as a husband, father, patriot,. servant, and follower of Christ!

it was a great winter! let’s look back at some of its feed my starving children Our Atrium turned into a makeshift cafeteria on Saturday, February 18, as Stonebriar Missions. hosted Feed My Starving Children—an organization committed to feeding malnourished. children around the world. Donning hair nets and gloves, 440 volunteers hand-packed 101,488 specially formulated meals. The food will be sent to nearly 70 countries, and more. than 279 children will be fed for a full year! It took each of the volunteers to reach and exceed. our goal of packing 100,000 meals. Thank you for being part of this team effort to extend the love of Jesus Christ to the entire world.
junction 56 preteen conference One thing is certain: Our preteens are serious about studying the Bible! Sixty of our fifth and sixth. graders attended the SuperStart Preteen Conference at Crossroads Christian Church in Arlington this. past February. They learned about remembering God’s purpose for their lives and about not. becoming a “Thing-a-buffoon” (You’ll have to ask one of the preteens about this word!). Our. preteens have a real heart for helping others, and one of the highlights of the weekend was. picking up trash on the roadside as a service project. “They all had a very spiritual and memorable. experience,” said Victoria Barnes, parent of a preteen, “My daughter is still talking about it.”
operation christmas child All eighth-grader Anna Nelson wanted for her birthday last November was shoeboxes,. not filled with trendy footwear, but with toys and Christmas presents for impoverished. children around the world. Anna got her wish as she received 20 boxes for Operation. Christmas Child. According to ProjectServe director Teresa Kay, our church donated 1,863 boxes in three weeks last November. “To me, we are packing the shoeboxes with the. love of Jesus in the form of toys, toiletries, and clothes,” said volunteer Julie Morris,. “It brings me great delight to be a part of this ministry.”
Baptism is an exciting event in the life of a child,. but as an ordinance of the Church, it is also a. serious matter. Baptism is a child’s public. testimony that he or she has placed saving faith. in Christ. Essentially, it is a sermon kids preach. to the congregation about dying to sin and being. raised up again as a new creature. We believe kids must fully comprehend the significance of what they are about to do before being baptized..
6 | connection
To ensure that any child being considered for. baptism is a believer with a clear understanding. of the event, we have requirements. It is our policy that a child must be at least in the third grade to be considered for baptism. We also. require at least one parent to attend a three-week. baptism class with their child prior to the. ceremony. This fun class covers a lot of theology that we ask parents to reinforce in the home.
highlights . . . worship & music ministries Worship and Music Ministries kicked off winter with the Center Stage: J.S. Bach Concert . in November. Our Children’s Choirs ushered in the Christmas season with a concert. titled “Where Is He, Immanuel? . . . Reflections on the Advent of Our King.” December 10, our Sanctuary Choir and Orchestra presented, All Is Well, which featured solos by David Gaschen, who played the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. Our new organ was dedicated February 19, and our inaugural organ recital featuring Kiyo and. Chiemi Watanabe took place March 17.
holiday care The holidays were truly a season of giving for our church family. We collected, packed, and. distributed groceries to provide Thanksgiving dinners for 350 families. Our Thanks for Giving bags were filled with turkey, dressing, and all the fixings to remind the families of God’s love and. provision. In December, our church family came together again to provide special Christmas. gift bags to more than 400 homeless people in South Dallas. The bags contained essential. items such as hats, gloves, and socks, as well as fun Christmas treats and hand-written. Christmas cards reminding the homeless that they are not forgotten.
widows’ valentine’s day luncheon In February, Care Ministries had the joy of hosting our first Widows’ Valentine’s Day Luncheon. Our pastoral staff served lunch to more than 130 widows from our church and community. The ladies enjoyed homemade valentines from our elementary ministry and an encouraging message shared by special guest, Marilyn Meberg. In closing, the pastors prayed over the women and presented each of them with a rose. “It’s the first time I’ve received a child’s handmade valentine in a long time,” said. an attendee, “To me, the cherry on the top was having the pastor serving our table pray for us.”
To help make the event more special and. memorable, parents, or other believers. spiritually significant to the child, are welcome. to come perform the baptism themselves. We. also encourage parents to offer a word of love and encouragement at the ceremony. For more information about child baptism, visit. www.stonebriar.org [keyword: baptismclass].

career-transition ministry offers hope by bill richardson, contributing writer Starting each day with nowhere to be and. nothing to do may be the American. dream of retirement, but for those facing. unemployment, it is the harsh reality of. their daily struggle. As the days, weeks, or months pass, this struggle becomes. increasingly difficult. Feelings of isolation,. inadequacy, and despair can become overwhelming as the job search drags on. I knew it was difficult to find a job in. today’s economy, but I had no idea just how hard it was until I lost my job in July. 2010. I had not faced unemployment since 1974 and thought my job transition. would be easy. God had a different plan. As I continue my search, He has faithfully. shown me His provision, providence, and.
by rachel mcginness, staff writer
grace on a daily basis. He also made clear to me that we need to reach out to others who face this battle. . Our church has embarked on a mission to encourage and empower the unemployed. and underemployed of North Texas by. hosting Frisco Connect. This ministry. provides networking and skill-building. opportunities to those looking for work. . I’ve had the privilege of serving alongside. our pastoral staff and volunteers in effort. to make career transition as efficient and. painless as possible for the 100-plus people. who attend each meeting. Many of these people are unclear about God’s plan for their lives, and Frisco Connect gives us an.
opportunity to demonstrate His grace to. them. It is a joy to see God’s hand at work in people’s lives. God has also used this. ministry to demonstrate how strongly He. keeps His hand in my life. Each meeting is an opportunity to share. and receive encouragement and prayer,. with people facing the same challenges as me. On occasion I get to explain to. someone that there really is a God, He really is in control of their situation, and there is a better day ahead. Frisco Connect meets the first and. third Tuesday of every month from. 9 a.m. to noon. Visit www.stonebriar.org [keyword :friscoconnect] to learn more.
saturday, may 5 Following Jesus’ command in Matthew 22:39, Care Ministries’ heart is to “love. your neighbor as yourself” and to connect people who want to help with those. who need help. “We want to cast a vision that everyone has a neighbor we’re called to love,” said Steve Fischer, director of Care Ministries. One way Care Ministries lives out its mission is through Go and Be, our churchwide day of service to the community. “It is our chance to GO outside the walls and BE the church,” said Karen Hawkins, pastoral leader of Community Care. “Volunteers of all ages and stages are able to serve in tangible ways,” said Karen.. With projects ranging from yard work and home maintenance, to writing letters to troops and shut-ins, there is an opportunity for everyone to serve. More than 300 people participated in last year’s Go and Be! “People helping others are going to be blessed,” said Steve. “We want to enable a place where they can do what God has called them to do.” There are a many ways to serve this year, including a Cinco de Mayo festival in. partnership with Stonebriar en Español. Come help us “Go and Be” the hands and feet of Christ as we care for our community! Sign up at www.stonebriar.org [keyword: goandbe].
