OCTOBER 2014
From Te Rector
Te Reverend
Donald D. Binder, PhD
A
few years back, the Barna Group conducted a
survey on biblical literacy, seeking to reveal how
well Americans knew their Bible.
Here are some of the results: sixty percent of
Americans could not list as many as fve of the Ten
Commandments; fewer than half could name the four
Gospels; a majority of graduating high school seniors
thought Sodom and Gomorrah were husband and
wife; and a large number believed that Billy Graham
had frst preached the Sermon on the Mount!
Results such as these are troubling. But theyre
part of a larger trend that began at least a generation
ago, leading George Gallup and Jim Castelli, after a
similar study in 1990, to conclude that Americans re-
vere the Bible but, by and large, they dont read it. And
because they dont read it, they have become a nation
of biblical illiterates (Bible Review, June 1990). Both
sets of researchers found this to be true not only for
nonbelievers, but also for those who identifed them-
selves as active members of a church or synagogue:
this latter group scored only nominally higher on the
above surveys.
Now, some might object that knowledge of such
Bible facts is not a fair assessment of ones grasp of his
or her religious faith. But the researchers also found
that this lack of basic knowledge went hand-in-hand
with a paucity of deeper theological understanding.
For example, some forty percent of respondents in the
Barna survey expressed a belief that the same spiritual
truths were merely expressed diferently in the Bible,
the Koran, and the Book of Mormon.
While such a response is refective of the rising
pluralism present in American society, it also suggests
the tendency of the respondents to lump together be-
lief systems about which they know little, much like
the non-sports fan stating, baseball, football, basket-
ball - theyre all just the same!
Of course, the sports fan knows that, outside of all
three being games, theyre not the same - just as Chris-
tianity, Islam, and Mormonism, aside from all being
religions, are also not the same. In fact, you wouldnt
even have to be an avid sports fan to detail the difer-
ences between the three games; yet what percentage
of Americans could list the signifcant diferences be-
tween the three religions?
Based on the Barna sur-
vey results, I suspect the
number would be tiny.
For the church, this
all means that we are fail-
ing to convey to our chil-
dren the rich contours of
our Christian faith. Of
course, we get little help
from our larger culture in this regard. Religion of any
stripe is increasingly banished from serious discussion
or study in the public square and within the popular
media, leaving only Sunday mornings and family in-
teractions as times of learning for our children.

Pohick Episcopal Church Page 2 October 2014
Tis all highlights the importance of both Sunday school and church attendance for our children, as well as
regular reading of the Bible with them at home. Yet even here, families are squeezed by weekend activities and
mounds of homework on weeknights, leaving skipped classes and missed opportunities for family sharing. Yet
where else will our children receive an understanding of our Christian faith?
Nowadays, we often hear that the rising generation is the frst in recent American history that will be less af-
fuent than the one that preceded it. A similar statement could be made with respect to the wealth transfer of our
faith tradition. Only with a renewed commitment to sharing with our children the riches of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ on Sunday mornings and at other times can we ever hope to keep this dire prediction from coming true.

SENIOR WARDENS REPORT
Stew Remaly, Senior Warden
Te church season is in full swing and Father
Don, Reverend Ruth, the Parish Staf, and Vestry
are all back from vacation. Tree Sunday Services
are back, Sunday School and EYC is in full swing,
and there will be another successful Apple Butter
weekend and Pohick Country Fair. Many thanks
go to all the volunteers that make all these events
such a great success. Special thanks to volunteer
Sunday School Teachers led by Francis Sessums
and Rusty Booth. Also, many thanks to Mike
Wooten and Anne Derbes for their hard work in
planning and coordinating another great Pohick
Country Fair.
See the Pohick Post, bulletin or pohick.org for
all the events and activities coming up this fall.
Tis is also the time of the year that the outgo-
ing Vestry members will be working on building
the slate of candidates from the Parish who would
like to run for a seat on the Vestry next year. Tere
will need to be a minimum of 10 volunteers to fll
fve vacancies this next year.
As recorded by Don Brownlee, the Vestry at
its September meeting:
Opened a discussion about adding a Sat-
urday or Sunday evening service to the worship
schedule, and holding only two services on Sun-
day mornings. Te primary purpose of the evening
service is to ofer a service for families with sports
and other conficts on Sunday mornings. Te Ves-
try seeks parishioner feedback on the idea; please
make thoughts known to a Vestry member.
Approved leasing a new color printer/copier
for the Parish ofce. It will provide signifcant-
ly enhanced capabilities; reductions in outside
printing and other costs should ofset the lease
payments, and perhaps produce a net savings. Te
current copier will be ofered for sale.
Agreed to spend up to $3,500 to repair dam-
age to the siding and roof of one of the classroom
trailers. Te Vestry is reluctant to put additional
money into a structure that is long past its normal
life span, but a replacement or other long-term
solution would require signifcant infrastructure
investment and a long county approval process.
Received an update on the handicapped
ramp project. A new, minimal-cost plan has been
developed to straighten the existing ramp and
extend it toward Route 1. It will remain aligned
with the current entrance. Some shrubs along the
west side of the Church will be removed as part
of the project. Te work is expected to be done in
October. If this confguration meets parishioners
needs, the ramp may be relocated later to align
with a diferent door.
Approved the Treasurers Report. Plate and
Pledge income recovered in August after drop-
ping in July. Year-to-date income remains slightly
below projections, but within the historical range.
Expenses remain within expectations. Parishio-
ners are urged to keep their pledges current, and
consider using the new automatic deduction/
credit card donation program.
For more information see a Vestry member, or
the October Pohick Post.

ALPHA PARENTING COURSE
Attention: Being a parent may be the most infu-
ential task you will ever undertake.
Pohick Church is ofering the Alpha Parenting
Course for parents of children up to age 11. Lisa and
Clint Herbert will be facilitating the discussions that
cover many aspects of these broad categories:
building strong foundations
childrens needs
setting boundaries,
teaching healthy relationships
formulating long-term aims
Weekly classes at the Rectory
October 5 - December 7
after the 9:00 am service until 12 noon
with child care at the Church
Tis Sunday after the 9:00 am service head straight
through the cemetery to the Rectory where light re-
freshments will be
served. To register,
call the ofce 703-
339-6572.
God entrusts
parents with noth-
ing more valuable
than their children. From your childrens conception
to your death, you host your ofspring in one way or
another.
Your habits and thought patterns will be replicated
in the furniture and decoration schemes of the minds
and hearts of your children - and onward for genera-
tions to come. As primary teachers, role models, and
providers for your children, expressions of parental
love form an enduring image of our heavenly family
of the Holy Trinity: Father, Holy Spirit, and Son.
AND here is a counterintuitive truth: the best way
to love your children is to love your spouse. Tat is
why we plan to ofer the Alpha Marriage Course in
2015. More details on that adventure to come.
PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND
Set your GPS for Gospel, Places, and Spaces.
Over the past year, Pohick Church has been
blessed by our Rectors reports of his four month
sabbatical in Israel. Tis past May, he returned
with a group of Pohickians. Tey came back tre-
mendously inspired.
Good news for you: We have reservations for
ten more Pohickians to experience a once-in-a-
lifetime trip to the Holy Land.
May 10-26, 2015
Tis is not a vacation to a luxury resort; it is a
pilgrimage in the fullest sense of the word.
St. Georges College Jerusalem hosts the
Palestine of Jesus course. It includes visits to
Gospel Places and Spaces in the life and minis-
try of Jesus. Lectures, worship, and small group
discussions will integrate academic biblical study
with personal Christian faith and much more.
Watch the bulletins for an introductory meet-
ing in late October for those interested. You may
ask some 2014 Pohick Pilgrims for frst hand ac-
counts.
A non-refundable deposit of $300 which will
be applied to total costs is due in November. To-
tal costs should not exceed $5000, which includes
airfare, insurances, gratuity, tuition, and accom-
modations. Te reservations may fll up quickly.
Dont miss this memorable opportunity for spiri-
tual growth.
For more details, explore the website for St.
Georges College Jerusalem at http://scgjerusa-
lem.org and its menus (Courses - Accommoda-
tions - FAQ - Gallery). Check your passport for
at least six months of remaining validity at trip
time.
The Thank You & Farewell celebration for
Susan & Don Homar originally scheduled
for Friday, October 17 is going to be re-
scheduled for a later date. As soon as
the logistics can be worked out, details
will be published in the Sunday bulletin.
Thank You and Farewell

JEWELRY TABLE
Tanks to all who have dontaed items for the
Jewelry Table at the Christmas Mart. Te Jewelry
Table has a good start for this years event. Tere
is room for more - the more jewelry available for
sale, the more help can be given to charity and the
needs of the church! Broken jewelry is put into
bags to sell to crafters, and that is always a popu-
lar item. Please consider giving no-longer-worn
jewelry for a good cause. Jewelry
may be left in the Church Ofce.
Any questions, contact Cammie
Liddle at 703-971-7548.
Hello. My name is Dana Hutson and along
with Doug Smith, we work as advisors for the Ju-
nior High School Youth Group at Pohick. Dur-
ing this time of fruitful harvest for all of the min-
istries of Pohick, I am delighted to share what is
being borne out every Sunday evening with the
teens.
Jesus shines uniquely through all of the teens
as seen in their individual gifts and talents. As the
year progresses, we are privileged to watch each of
them discover and foster their gifts manifested as
the fruits of gentleness, kindness, hospitality, lead-
ership, organization, encouragement, and yes, we
even have an exhorter or two.
Each Sunday the teens come together for fun
and fellowship, however, they also bring with
them a desire to seriously seek Jesus in their daily
lives. It is in their seeking that questions are asked,
encouragement is given, and they strengthen each
other through sharing tales of faith from the pre-
vious week.
Tey learn to pray together and for one an-
other as well as classmates, teachers and even their
enemies. As the year progresses, you can watch
their faith increase as they recognize God answer-
ing their prayers even if it is not always in ways
they anticipate.
Although there are several opportunities dur-
ing the year to take their gifts on the road to
share the gospel outside the walls of Pohick on
retreats, feld trips, activities with other youth
groups, and mission trips, on any given Sunday,
a teen will share an experience from the mission
feld that was no further than the school cafete-
ria.
I am so grateful to the Lord for the opportu-
nity to sojourn alongside the youth of the body
of Christ. For in them holds the future of Gods
message to the world. Happy Harvest!
FIRST SUNDAY FOOD COLLECTION

lects non-perishable food items to be contributed

HEALTH NEWS
Carol Heddleston, Parish Nurse
CARDIAC ARREST VS. HEART ATTACK
Often cardiac arrest and heart attack are
used interchangeably; however, they are not the
same.
Cardiac arrest is an electrical problem that
occurs when the heart malfunctions and un-
expectedly stops beating. It is triggered by an
electrical malfunction in the heart that causes
an irregular heartbeat or arrhythmia. With
its pumping action disrupted, the heart can-
not pump blood to the brain, lungs, and other
organs. Within seconds, a person becomes un-
responsive, is not breathing, or is only gasping
for breath. Death occurs within minutes if the
victim does not receive treatment.
Cardiac arrest can be reversible in some
people if it is treated within a few minutes. Call
911 and start CPR right away. If an Automated
External Defbrillator is available, use it as soon
as possible.
Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death.
Nearly 360,000 out of hospital cardiac arrests
occur annually in the United States.
Heart attack is a circulation problem that
occurs when blood fow to the heart is blocked.
A blocked artery prevents oxygen-rich blood
from reaching a section of the heart. Te part
of the heart normally nourished by that artery
begins to die.
Symptoms of a heart attack may be immedi-
ate and may include intense discomfort in the
chest or other areas of the upper body, shortness
of breath, cold sweats, and/or nausea/vomiting.
Often symptoms start slowly and persist for
hours, days, or weeks before a heart attack. Te
heart usually does not stop beating. Te longer
the person goes without treatment, the greater
the damage. Heart attack symptoms in women
can include shortness of breath, nausea/vomit-
ing, and back or jaw pain.
For both situations, call 911 immediately!
EMTs can begin treatment right away, which
can be an hour sooner than driving the victim
to the ER, and every minute matters.
Christmas mart Consignment
Te Christmas Mart on November 20 is
coming fast, and there is a goal to fnd some
new crafters, and people who would like to
share objects so others might enjoy them.
Items can be consigned and/or donated. For
those that would like to consign or donate
saleable items, please contact Edie Bartlett at
703-780-6809 or redsse@aol.com.

THE MANY USES OF
APPLE BUTTER
Although most commonly
used as a spread on toast,
there are numerous other
uses for Pohicks famous
apple butter! Consider us-
ing apple butter to mix with
cottage cheese, to glaze a pork roast, or on top of pan-
cakes instead of syrup. In addition, apple butter is a
key ingredient in the following tasty recipes.
Apple Butter Baked Beans
1 28oz can baked beans 1/3 c raisins
2 Tbsp prepared mustard Fresh ground black
1/2 c apple butter pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients in a small nonreactive
saucepan. Set pan over medium heat. Cook for about
6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated. To heat
in microwave oven, place all ingredients in a micro-
wave-safe casserole. Stir, then cover. Cook on high
(100% power) for 3 to 4 minutes. Makes 4 servings.
Apple Butter Bars
1/2 c butter 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 c all-purpose four 1/2 tsp applie pie spice
1/2 c packed brown sugar 1 c raisins
1/4 c white sugar 1 c confectioners sugar
1 egg 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 c apple butter 2 Tbsp milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13 x 9 x 2
inch baking pan.
Beat butter or margarine until creamy. Add half of
the four, the brown sugar, white sugar, egg, apple but-
ter, baking soda and the apple pie spice. Beat together
until well blended. Beat in remaining four and stir in
raisins. Spread in prepared baking pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or till toothpick in center
comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack. Drizzle
with icing. Cut into bars.
To Make Icing: Mix 1 cup confectioners sugar, 1/4
teaspoon vanilla and 1 - 2 tablespoons milk. Mix to
drizzling consistency.
Apple Pie Muddy Buddies (Puppy Chow)
1/3 c apple butter 2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp cinnamon 8 c chex cereal
1 tsp vanilla 2 c powdered sugar
1 1/2 c white chocolate chips
Heat apple butter in small sauce pan over low
heat. Tis cooks of some of the moisture, so cook
until it looks thicker, stirring consistently, about fve
minutes. Te streaks of water disappear.
Remove apple butter from heat and stir in cinna-
mon and vanilla until combined. Stir in white choco-
late chips and return to the heat. Continue stirring
until the chips are melted. Stir in the butter until
melted. Pour mixture over the cereal in a large bowl.
Mix until it is equally distributed.
While still hot, add powdered sugar a little bit at a
time until cereal is completely coated. Transfer cereal
to two cookie sheets so that it can cool in a single
layer. After completely cooled, transfer to a container
that can be completely sealed and mix in the streusel
topping.
Streusel Topping
1 stick of butter, softened not melted
1 c of brown sugar
1 c of quick cooking oats
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix ingredients
together with a fork. It will be a little chunky, and that
is okay. On a parchment lined baking sheet, spread
half the mixture.
Bake the mixture for 8 minutes, but keep an eye
on it. All ovens cook diferently and you dont want it
to burn.
Transfer the mixture (it will be in chunks) to a pa-
per towel lined plate. Let it cool completely and then
break it apart into bite sized pieces.
Repeat with the second half of the mixture.
Thank to EVERYONE involved
with Apple Butter this year!
So many people found
the Time to donate
special Talents, enjoy the
Fellowship, and have some
good old fashion Fun!

Paper Bag Pumpkin Craft

This cute kids paper bag pumpkin craft is
perfect for table decorations or, if flled with
candy, a great party treat bag. They are easy to
make with simple supplies for a fun Halloween
craft!
Materials:
1 brown paper lunch bag
Acrylic paint: orange and leaf green
Paintbrush
sheet brown construction paper
6- 12 pieces of green raffa
Scissors
How to make:
Paint the outside of the lunch bag with or-
ange paint.
Paint the inside, top portion of the bag with
leaf green paint.
Paint a second coat of orange paint on the
bag, only this time, paint the top outside por-
tion with the leaf green-colored paint.
When paint is completely dry, fringe the
green section of the bag with scissors, strips
should be approximately 1 wide.
Fill bag with crumpled newspaper (if using
as a decoration) or candy and treats.
Gather top of bag with hand and tie a piece
of raffa around it, just below the green section.
Continue tying pieces of green raffa around
the neck of the bag until all of it has been used.
Cut a 1.5 wide strip of brown construction
paper and roll up into a tube. Insert the tube
of paper into the center of the green portion of
the bag as the stem. If these bags are used as
decoration, glue the stem in place.
Tips: To reuse these decorations at Hallow-
een, add faces as jack-o-lanterns by gluing on
yellow construction paper facial features.
If using these as party bags, grab all raffa
pieces together and tie them into one knot to
make them easier to remove rather than ripping
the bag open.
To give the bags some weight, especially
if they will be displayed outside, add a cup of
sand or clean cat litter to the bottom of the bag
before adding the crumpled newspaper.
