  • Can Milwaukee Festivals Compete?
    Arts and Entertainment Summer 2010 _________________ Donna the Buffalo’s Tara Nevins, left, and Woody Platt of Steep Canyon Rangers, both have played in Milwaukee, but are local festivals too big to showcase quality? Photos by Geoff Davidian Smaller venues offer sober, cleaner, family-friendly chance to see popular acts By GEOFF DAVIDIAN ILKESBORO, North Carolina – It was Sunday morning and Dan Fedoryka looked every bit a Baptist preacher in his white suit as he stepped out of the Church Bus, walked a hundred or so yards over a worn path and mounted the raised platform where he would perform a ritual that has become familiar in this Appalachian community. The sun was shining and it was already in the 80s when the 30-year-old former student at a Ukrainian seminary slipped off his jacket, folded it and placed it neatly on the back of a chair, rolled up his sleeves and turned to the energetic congregation. Then Fedoryka strapped on his guitar and jumped over some speakers to join his brother Alexander, childhood friend Josef Crosby and Mike Ounallah as the band Scythian jumped right into its third performance in two days at MerleFest, the annual gathering in Wilkesboro, NC, to worship and be baptized in quintessential American music. MerleFest began 22 years ago as a celebration of traditional American folk and bluegrass music but after more than two decades, it has opened its arms to a broader slice of regional and national talent. The event, dedicated to the memory of Eddy Merle Watson and to raise money for the Wilkes Community College, was held this year from April 28 to May 1 on the college campus.

  • Called to Ministry at All Stages of Life
    Called to Ministry at All Stages of Life Three members of our SMPC family are involved in intense study to become ministers of Word and Sacrament through seminary education. They will earn their Master of Divinity and become ordained as teaching elders in the Presbyterian Church, USA. Here are their stories. Diane Giannola, Union Presbyterian Seminary – Charlotte Campus From the time she was a little girl pretending to baptize her baby dolls, Diane Giannola has felt a sense of call to ministry. She was raised in the Catholic Church and the only path toward ministry for a girl was to be a nun, which did not interest her. Instead, Diane chose another vocation devoted to the compassionate care of others – nursing. For 25 years she was involved in all facets of the nursing profession. After moving to Charlotte in 1999 with her husband Rich, Diane’s journey toward ministry continued when she took on the role of parish nurse at First Presbyterian Church. Often church members and staff alike would remark, “You should really consider going into ministry.” During that time, Diane began seeking a new faith community to call home. The Giannolas were led to SMPC and soon Diane’s gifts were instrumental in forming our first Board of Deacons, focusing on congregational care. Diane Giannola In 2011, these words in the SMPC Weekly leapt off the page at Diane: Open House at Union Presbyterian Seminary. “I poked Rich and pointed to the notice,” said Diane. “On the Saturday morning I went to Union for Day for Discernment I told Rich, ‘I should be back by lunch.’ I remember looking at the clock and it was 4 p.m.! I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt this was where I was called to be.
