Another Acknowledgement of the
“UBUNTU” Spirit
[Some of the ideas shared in this month’s newsletter
article repeat ideas share previously. The repetition is
entirely intentional because we are, once again,
approaching a critical and defining point in the Interim
Process. The St. John Pastoral Search Committee is now
actively engaged in conducting interviews with
prospective Senior Minister candidates. What a tremendous blessing it is to have reached this important
milestone. Nevertheless, even at this late date, some church members, whose thoughts and ideas we value,
have not been directly engaged in the growth and careful reflection that has occurred among us. Therefore, if
the repetition, in this article, seems odd, that will be OK. Comments and reactions to it will be one indication
that people really are paying attention to these monthly articles.]
The annual celebration of Black History Month and the earlier observance of the Birthday of Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. always remind me of the spirit of “ubunto”: “I am because we are.” This ancient concept, derived
from and expressed in the Zulu culture, was summarized by Dr. King as follows: “We are caught in an
inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all
indirectly. This is the interrelated structure of all reality. You can never be what you ought to be until I become
what I ought to be.” The spirit of ubuntu reminds us of the power of joining soulfully with others.
When the former president of the United States, Barack Obama, made a speech two years ago, in
Johannesburg — at the 2018 Nelson Mandela annual lecture — he said that Mandela “understood the ties
that bind the human spirit.” He added, “There is a word in South Africa — Ubuntu — that describes
(Mandela’s) greatest gift: his recognition that we are all bound together in ways that can be invisible to the
eye; that there is a oneness to humanity; that we achieve ourselves by sharing ourselves with others, and
caring for those around us.”
The spirit of ubuntu has valuable lessons for us all. It’s about empathy and compassion for others, building
community, appreciating diversity and knowing that our highest potential is ripened and nurtured through our
relationships.
I have been blessed to serve as Intentional Interim Pastor of the St. John congregation for nearly three years.
Dr. King’s words and later those of former President Obama, regarding general human relationships, resound
equally true, during a pastoral interim and when applied to relationships within a faith community. During our
time together, I’ve tried to allow my relationships with you to be shaped by this same philosophy of Ubuntu.
During these nearly three years of service, I have learned so many things, grown and been strengthened in so
very many ways because you, the members of St. John, are who you are. Those church participants who have
been most actively engaged, during this interim period have had similar experiences in their own relationships
with one another. As is true in any congregation, some members and expected participants at St. John have
chosen to remain “absent.” I suppose some of those who have remained absent have waited on the sidelines
to see what the outcome of the interim process will be. Such persons, while still very much a part of the
church family, have chosen to miss out on what has proven to be one of the most creative periods in the life of
the St. John congregation, while the rest of the community has been deeply engaged in the interim process.
The obvious lament regarding those who have remained absent is that we’ve not been blessed with their
2
individual and collective wisdom, during these 35 months. Therefore, whatever conclusion the congregation
reaches, regarding the next settled pastor, will lack their valuable input and runs the increased risk of being a
choice with which those who have been absent may not agree.
These newsletter comments are not intended to set up an unfair “we/they” dichotomy between those who
have remained involved and those who have not. Instead, they are intended as a fervent appeal to all prior
St. John church participants, who care about the future of this dynamic and meaningful community of faith.
As we prepare to call a new senior pastor, we urge you to “come home”, where your gifts for ministry will
be warmly embraced. The St. John Church is who it is because you are who you are. And, we are far better at
being who we are, when all of you, are with us.
My final day in ministry with you will be, Sunday, April 19, 2020. As we continue in ministry together, during
these next few weeks, my most fervent prayer is that all of us will experience and reflect a sense of “Ubuntu,”
as we reassess, with the help of God, what it means to be a growing, increasingly-inclusive faith community.
May the Peace of Christ be with you, always!
Respectfully,
Marvin L. Morgan

Pastor Search Committee Update
March 2020
The Pastor Search Committee (“PSC”) gave two updates to the congregation during January. The
first presentation was made on January 12th to both worship services . The PSC provided an
overview of the many steps and activities involved in the search process, and reported on progress to
date, including how many pastoral profiles had been received. We also reviewed the pastor traits and
competencies identified by the congregation that would inform the Committee’s evaluation of
candidates.
The second presentation was made on January 26th at St. John UCC’s Annual
Meeting. The PSC provided an update on the search process and played a
video entitled “Look Who God Sent”. The video provided deeper insight and
understanding of the search process through the reflections and recollections of
a search committee from Kenilworth UCC in Buffalo, NY. It also shared the
wisdom and experiences of several Pastors that have sought a call in the UCC.
If you are interested in watching the video, please contact Amy Rhymer in the
church office.
As of the date of this writing, the PSC has received 22 pastoral profiles. We are continuing to meet 2
to 4 times a week to review these profiles and interview candidates. Again, we ask that you pray for
our congregation and the PSC as we continue to discern and seek the person that God has already
chosen to join us as our next Senior Pastor.

Dear St. John Church,
We are so grateful for the donation of $1,131.30 collected as part of our 2019
M&M Fundraiser for the S.O.S. Soup Kitchen. We could not help the families of
the Collinsville area without support like yours. The Soup Kitchen feeds on
average 174 people per week, spending approximately $5.09 per meal plus an
additional $1.59 for the sack lunch we send home with the patrons. Last year
St. John served 822 meals to patrons, with 70 take home meals with a total of
202 volunteers. Support like yours makes a difference in our community.
Without it, we could not minister to so many of our neighbors. Thank you for your donation.
Yours in Christ,
Dana Callahan
Dear Faith Partner and Supporter,
You were unbelievable in your prayers, thoughtfulness and especially, sharing and giving. We have
heard so many “thank you” and “What a great surprise” and “who does this sort of thing!” If only we
could record! There may not be a lot of words but I think you will feel the HEART. From the staff and I,
we thank you for all and everything you have done to make life better and happier for our children,
families, and community.
Brenda Crisp – Executive Director
Kindercottage Staff and Major Anderson & Family
Those receiving our Meals on Wheels volunteers during cold days in January were greeted
with friendly conversation and warm meals. A big thank you to Clyde & Vicki Donovan, Phyllis
& Ken Waltermire, Dave Sheahan & Jean Nicolussi, Lois & Ed Bluemner, and Nancy Blumberg
& Paul Werner. Thank you for serving the community of Collinsville.
As I began another journey with cancer, I felt your caring thoughts and uplifting prayers
sustaining me. I wish to thank all for your support during this time. Treatment will be
ongoing for quite some time, but my cancer markers are already declining. A reason to be
thankful and hopeful. Much gratitude for your love and prayers. Our God is a powerful God.
Blessings, Valerie Bates

Pastor Morgan’s Interim Ministry Nears Completion
Pastor Marvin Morgan has informed the Church Council that his last day of ministry at St.
John will be April 19, 2020. Pastor Marvin has faithfully and successfully guided our
congregation and the Transition Team through a period of prayer and reflection where we
have paused to discern who we are as a people of God, and what it is God calls us to be.
He has also prepared the Search Committee to independently continue their work with
ongoing support from the Illinois South Conference. Pastor Marvin feels that mid-April is
the appropriate time to end his interim ministry here at St. John and allow a time of
transition as the congregation prepares to embrace a new settled senior pastor.
The Search Committee is diligently working to identify our next settled senior pastor, but
there is no timeframe for when their work will be completed. In the interim, Pastor Katie
Jo will handle the pastoral duties with some additional support that the Council is working
with Pastor Katie Jo to define. We will share more detailed plans with the congregation as
we have them.
We thank Pastor Marvin for his leadership during this interim period. Plans for a
celebration of Pastor Marvin’s ministry at St. John will be announced in the next few
weeks.
Capital Campaign Follow -Up Task Force
I am delighted to report that, as of February 7, we have received
$362,945.75 in Capital Campaign donations from 132 givers. That is
56% of total pledges of $647,722.31.
26 pledges have been paid in full. Nearly all the rest have been paid up-to-date based on our
understanding of the giver’s intended schedule. In addition, several gifts have been received from
individuals who did not make pledges.
Capital Campaign funds have already enabled us to repave the west parking lot, improve outside
lighting, install a new lift in the Faith Hall lobby, and commit to organ repairs. We should be very
proud of our congregation for both their commitment to maintain and improve our campus and
their faithfulness in fulfilling their pledges. We realize that pledges often stretch a member’s
budget, so it can take a real commitment to keep up with payments. Thank you to each and every
one of you who is sharing your financial blessings with your church family. It is wonderful to have
well-maintained buildings to use as we extend God’s love to so many, both within and outside our
congregation.

Our book club has chosen the next book we will be reviewing;
Code Talker: The First and Only Memoir By One of the Original Navajo
Code… by Chester Nez.
His name wasn’t Chester Nez. That was the English name he was assigned in
kindergarten. And in boarding school at Fort Defiance, he was punished for
speaking his native language, as the teachers sought to rid him of his culture and
traditions. But discrimination didn’t stop Chester from answering the call to defend his country after
Pearl Harbor, for the Navajo have always been warriors, and his upbringing on a New Mexico
reservation gave him the strength—both physical and mental—to excel as a marine. During World
War II, the Japanese had managed to crack every code the United States used. But when the Marines
turned to its Navajo recruits to develop and implement a secret military language, they created the
only unbroken code in modern warfare—and helped assure victory for the United States over Japan
in the South Pacific.
Everyone is welcome. Plan on reading the book prior to attending the book review. Bring your
thoughts and come share in the discussion. We plan on meeting on Tuesday afternoon, March
17th at 1:30 p.m. in the Atrium. For planning purposes, count on the meeting lasting 1 ½ hours.
We hope you will be able join us.

St. John’s Community Care in recent years, and who supported our outreach ministries to caregiving
families. Those of you who knew her best were privileged to enjoy her chocolate chip cookies, which
must have been exceptional. We are honoring her memory by trying to replicate her recipe in order
to recognize the generosity of these generous donors.
