agnostic friend with whom
he had many conversations
about religion. In these
conversations it became
clear to Lescallette how
much of his background and
point of view dealt with
religion. He had been
wrestling with his vocation-
al plans; it suddenly
dawned on him that ‘‘I had
been resisting the idea of
entering the ministry.”
Now it seemed that the
ministry ‘‘fits all my
interests and challenges
me, by calling forth in me
things I would like to bring
out.
“l have a need to share
and help people.
“l have always had a
certain reverence for life
and a respect for the
sacred.”’
Rev. Lescallette was ap-

I NO TIT WW
Rev. Lescallette
in the summer of 1978. He
was ordained on August 13,
1978, and formally installed
as pastor on August 27,
1978.
Rev. Lescallette considers
the church a full-time
occupation. ‘‘There is a lot
of work to be done,’ he
says, and adds, ‘‘There are
a lot of good, caring people
here.”’
His chief interest is in
worship, and he has added
some new features to the
worship service at St.
John’s. He likes to preach
and gets ‘‘good feedback’
on his sermons.
He is deeply interested ir.
the organization of the
church and attends commit:
tee meetings.
The church, along with St.
James in Columbia, is
supporting a refugee family.
There is an active youth
program at the church with
active adult leaders. The
youth held a retreat this fall.
They earn money for their
activities with ‘‘chicken
carries,’ loading chickens
by grasping several by their
feet in each hand. Half of
the contributions from the
youth go to ease world
hunger.
The church also has an
active social ministry, in-
cluding volunteering at
Columbia Hospital. They
have a project in support of
Lutheran Acres in Lititz and
SUSQUEHANNA TIMES—Page 13
put on programs for the
elderly there. They help to
sponsor refugees. The social
ministry of the church is
under the direction of Lydia
Hess and Anna Houseal.
In addition to preparing
for Sunday worship Rev.
Lescallette spends a great
deal of his time visiting
shut-ins. He is also active in
synodical affairs of the
Lutheran Church. One com-
mittee he serves on is
devoted to the needs of
pastors and their families
(which tend to be neglected,
while pastors concern them-
selves with other people's
needs). He is also a member
of a spiritual nurture task
force of the church, which
helps to arrange retreats,
the reading of books, and
the practice of spiritual
disciplines.
Rev. Lescallette, raised a
suburbanite, finds the vil-
lage of Maytown interest-
ing. “‘l know most of the
people I meet on the
streets,’’ he says.
“*Time is the big foe,’’ he
says of his ministry. There is
so little time to do all that he
would like to do. He wants
to find the time, however, to
add to the avocations he
already follows: model rail-
roading and sketching; he
would like to learn to play
the organ, and he would like
to start a physical fitness
program for himself.
