What can you do today?
Don’t eat any meat today, and see if you can cut down on the amount of meat you eat each week. Meat production
has a large carbon footprint, with 2.2 pounds of beef producing the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide as an
average car driving 155 miles. It takes 2,500 gallons of water and many pounds of grain to make one pound of beef
for your table.
It’s been estimated that if Americans were to reduce our meat consumption by 20%, it would be the equivalent of
all Americans switching from a standard sedan to a Prius. (See “ ReThinking the Meat Guzzler,” by Mark Bittman,
New York Times, 1/27/08.) For hundreds of free vegetarian recipes, visit http://www.bestveg.com/. Also, see Anna
Lappé’s Diet for a Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis at the End of
Your Fork and What You Can Do about It.
// Annual Ecumenical Lenten Carbon Fast, Day 33
I decided to stop eating meat 2 years ago when I realized the
many health benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle. I am not a strict
vegetarian because I eat fish or seafood once a week. This type
of vegetarianism is called Pescatarian. I read that this type of
diet is similar to the one many people ate when the Bible was
written.
My diet has improved my health drastically and I feel more
energetic and happy. I feel like I am making a difference in the
world by not consuming innocent animals that were raised to
be used for food. I read this quote from Paul McCartney that
means a lot to me; “If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone
would be vegetarian”. // Leah Parson

PRESCHOOL NEWS
It is hard to believe we are going into the last month
of the school year.
This month will be our big review for the classes. The
Pre-K will be visiting Mrs. Luring’s class at Hayshire
to see a kindergarten class in action. All classes will
be getting ready for graduation. The 3’s and Pre-K
PM will graduate on Tuesday, May 20. The Pre-K AM
and 5 day will graduate Wednesday, May 21. We are
looking forward to a fun time.
Registration is coming along. We do still have
openings in the 5 day Pre-K, 3 day Pre-K PM and 3’s
PM. We also still have openings in the Summer Fun.

An Update From Your
Council President
Hayshire UCC continues to be alive and well, as
we celebrate Jesus being alive and well, upon his
resurrection from the tomb. He is walking among us
and leading our discernment for the call of our next
minister. I can feel Him in the hymns we sing, and the
anthems we hear. I feel His presence at the coffee cart
Sunday mornings. I know it is Jesus speaking to so
many of us, as I look at the number of people signed up
to be a part of committees for activity planning.
While you and I may be frustrated that this
discernment process has taken longer than we would
like, I believe it has been part of God’s plan for us to
grow in this time of discernment. I feel His energy,
and I feel our energy as a congregation; God is still
speaking!
The Interim Team is concluding its work with the
writing of the vision for Hayshire, developed from the
work of the Triplets, and to be a part of the Hayshire
Profile. The Profile Committee has done a lot of
intensive work, and will be submitting their work to
Council prior to it being presented to the congregation.
The Search Committee will be commissioned on
Sunday, April 27. The Committee includes: Scott
Cutright, Kori Eisenhart, Wendy Grentz, Jeff Herman,
Dick Lloyd, Cindy Brezinski, Glen Young, and Leah
Parson will be an ad hoc member, representing our
youth and our future.
We are looking forward to a Formal Tea on
Saturday, May 3. Our Strawberry Festival is coming
up in June; a trip to Dutch Apple Dinner Theater is
scheduled for August, and an evening of music and
dancing will be scheduled at Naylor’s Winery to “wine
down” after Vacation Bible School which is scheduled
for the last week in July.
We have had an amazing Lenten season, having
visited several other churches, and having fed about
100 guests at Hayshire during our turn to host the
other UCC churches. Our laity was able to present an
inspiring service that evening, and I know our Lord
was well pleased with our evening of worship.
Thank you to everyone who has been so willing
to step up and keep Hayshire an inspiring place of
worship! // JoAnn Teyral, Council President

Olde York Street Fair – Mothers’
Day
Every year the communications committee of the
York Association has a booth at the Street Fair.
Volunteers have conversation with the passersby to get
the word out about the Association.
The committee is asking for volunteers to give an
hour of their time that day to help out at the table
between 1:00 and 6:00 PM. If you would be willing to
participate on Sunday May 11th, please email Lisa
Young at itsaboutme0503@comcast.net to be put on the
schedule.
Thank you, Barb Crum - Committee Chair
Confessions of a Triplet
(OR WHAT ARE WE GOING TO POSSIBLY TALK
ABOUT FOR 16 HOURS).
At the onset, it seemed a huge endeavor—meet
10 times for 100 minutes over 100 days, asking of
us many questions to which we are to pray-fully
consider our answers. But we reminded ourselves of
the Chinese philosopher Laozi quote, “a journey of a
thousand miles begins with a single step.” And we had
our first meeting.
After a few minutes, it was quite apparent that our
newly formed triplet did indeed have a lot in common
and that our Prayer and Share journey was going to
be full of prayer, laughter, compassion, intellect, and
chocolate.
During our time together, we discovered a lot about
ourselves and our collective dreams for Hayshire
United Church of Christ. A recurring theme that
kept surfacing in our time together centered around
matching passions with efforts while building and
enhancing ministries at Hayshire-- having the entire
Hayshire family being empowered and engaged to do
God’s work. We feel that understanding the needs of
our members and our community is absolutely vital for
us to continue as a living and vibrant church. After our
10 times for 100 minutes over 100 days, we felt like we
had all the answers—but realistically we knew we did
not.
Our triplet is thankful that the Interim Transition
Team and Rev. Dr. Thomas Webster provided for us
the opportunity to gather and focus during this
important time in the life of Hayshire. Our hope is that
our time spent and discoveries shared can be used to
the greater good of Hayshire and that everyone takes
the time to explore their dreams, their passions and
gets ready to engage. // A. Triplet
Mowing Ministry
It’s that time of year again. Our Mowing Ministry
is now in full swing. The schedule is posted on the
bulletin board and has also been added to the Hayshire
Calendar. Thank you to Dick Lloyd for organizing
the group again this year. If anyone would like to be
included and join the growing list of others that enjoy
the sweet ride on the John Deere, please contact Dick
Lloyd at 578-7075.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING SPRING INTO
LEARNING A WONDERFUL EVENT!
Our first preschool parent workshop, “Spring
Into Learning” was a great success. The families in
attendance were very appreciative of the math and
reading readiness activities that they learned and
for the take home materials that they received at the
workshop. The workshop evaluations were positive.
Many Hayshire members contributed to the success of
the workshop. Thank you to those who served on the
planning committee –Susan Herman, Heather Slenker,
Carol Crone, Jackie Bailey, and Stacy Knisley. Thank
you to the volunteers who welcomed families, served
refreshment, handed out materials, babysat children,
took pictures, helped with publicity, and facilitated
and assisted with the learning activities. Thank you
to our Hayshire members who provided monetary
donations for the purchase of refreshments, workshop
supplies, and take home materials. “Spring Into
Learning” was a wonderful example of our Hayshire
family’s commitment of sharing their time, talents,
and treasures with others.
// Wendy Grentz, Stewardship Team Chair

How cute are these kids? The Hayshire Preschool
graduation ceremonies are rapidly approaching and
our teachers could use your help. Extra hands would
be welcome to help with caps and gowns, man the
bounce house, and oversee other games.
Graduation dates are Tuesday, May 20, AM and
PM and Wednesday, May 21 AM. Help is especially
needed on Wednesday morning when 29 kids will be
moving on to the next level of education. If you can
help, please call Mae Duncan at 764-9261 or email
MaeDuncan@comcast.net for times.
Our Prayer Shawl Ministry is
in need of a few Prayer
Shawls. If you can knit, please
try knitting a pray shawl.
There are many rewards in
knitting these garments. I have been knitting prayer
shawls from the beginning of this ministry at our
church. I know from past experience that many lives
have been touched by our Pray Shawl ministry and I
am sure others have had this same experience too.
For more information on the Prayer Shawl Ministry
go to: www.shawlministry.com. There are instructions
for knitting and crocheting shawls. If you need a
change of patterns, you can see me and I will let you
use one of my books.
As the Leisure Arts pray shawl books says: Whatever
your faith and wherever you live, your handiwork will
be a gift of comfort, hope and peace. 2014 is the 16th
year of the Prayer Shawl Ministry, so make a prayer
shawl, and make a difference. // Sally Dietz
