THE NEWSLETTER OF BOULEVARD PARK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Senior Pastor Search
Session Makes Recommendation
By Jon Recker, Elder
During the last few weeks the search committee reviewed
and ranked our top four candidates, each of whom had
gone through at least two rounds of phone interviews. All
of these men are excellent pastors, so in order to tighten
our focus the committee created a standardized "score
sheet" to rank each candidate's strengths and weaknesses.
The categories we evaluated were those listed in the job
description drafted by the Session (preaching, teaching,
shepherding, administration, etc.)
Members of the search committee individually scored
each of the four pastors, then we all met to compare our
assessments. This process revealed
two men who clearly stood out as
our top candidates, so the committee asked each of them to participate
in a third interview focused primarily on theology. We quizzed them on
their personal theological beliefs, their
thoughts on the doctrine and practices
of Boulevard Park, and how they would approach numerous hot-button subjects in the modern church. These were
the longest and most intense interviews to date, and the
committee came away with a very solid understanding of
each pastor’s theology.
While both men are outstanding pastors, the committee concluded that one candidate would clearly be a better
fit for Boulevard Park. Although he is currently serving
on the mission field, God had providentially arranged for
him to be in the Seattle area during April, and even to be
guest-preaching at a local church. The full committee was
therefore able to hear him preach in person and to spend
time meeting with him and his wife. So after two intense
months of investigation, discussion, and prayer, the committee decided to recommend this candidate to the Session.
After reviewing his application materials, past sermons,
and several glowing letters of recommendation, the
Session invited him to an in-person interview on April 22.
After a wide-ranging interview of nearly three hours,
the full Session voted unanimously to recommend Pastor
Bud Diener as the next Senior Pastor at Boulevard Park
Presbyterian Church.
Bud, his wife Teresa, and their five children have a long
history in the northwest. He joined the staff of Overlake
Christian Church as a pastoral intern in 1983, became the
youth pastor in 1985, and then in 1989 planted Evergreen
Church in Sammamish. Pastor Bud served as the senior
pastor at Evergreen for 18 years, during which time he also led multiple
short-term mission trips focused on
training pastors overseas. In 2007 God
called Bud to move to South Africa to
train pastors, teach, preach, and share
the Gospel. Due to changes in South
African immigration law his ministry
there will soon be coming to a close, and both the search
committee and the Session believe that God has called him
to Boulevard Park at just the right time.
According to our Constitution, the final step in calling
a pastor is approval by the congregation. The Session has
invited Pastor Bud to preach during the worship service
on June 7, and a congregational meeting will follow. If
approved by the congregation, we expect Bud to join us
full-time in early fall. It will take a few months for him to
wrap up affairs in South Africa and move back to Washington, but we expect a smooth transition and will be in communication with him during the summer.
The search committee and Session thank you for your
continued prayers. Please join us in giving praise to God
who has proven Himself “able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine!” (Eph. 3:20).

Tending the Flock
Encouragement and Exhortation
By Siggi Finnsson, Elder
We as a church have just gone through an
assessment led by Dr. Gordon Penfold from
Fresh Start Ministries and assisted by Pastor
Tom Schiave from Gateway Church in Portland, Oregon. We appreciate the fact that
about half the congregation participated by
completing a survey and many took time to
be interviewed by Gordon and Tom.
Pastor Gordon preached on Christ’s vision
which included “Seeking and Saving the Lost”
(Luke 19:1-10); “Serving and Giving His Life
a Ransom” (Mark 10:45); His objective – “For
it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things
and by whom are all things, in bringing many
sons to glory, to make the captain of their
salvation perfect through sufferings” (Hebrews
2:10); and the eternal consequences – “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and
given Him the name which is above every
name, that at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, of those in heaven, and of those
on earth, and of those under the earth, and
that every tongue should confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”
Pray
(Philippians 2:9-11).
Pastor Gordon then shared his findings.
There was encouragement and exhortation:
We as a congregation place a high value on
the Word of God; we love our church and have
a passion to reach the world and community
with the gospel; we are a welcoming and
caring people who have a strong commitment
to volunteerism.
But like the majority of churches in
America (80-85%), our attendance and
membership are declining. We are getting
older and the younger generation is not well
represented. Communication within our body
needs to be improved.
There is, however, great hope and we as
elders feel very encouraged and excited about
what the future holds. In particular this will
include prayer, and we ask everyone to join us
in that. We as a congregation need to discuss
the findings, and with that in mind we are
planning opportunities such as round table
discussions. Be expecting invitations and
further communication along those lines.

Prayer-Walking the Talk
By Gail James
Since filling out the questionnaire in early April from Fresh Start Ministries and then hearing
what was said by Dr. Gordon Penfold, I have been praying and asking the Lord what more He
wants me to be doing at BPPC and in the surrounding community. It was pressed upon my heart
to offer to others what I am currently doing in my own neighborhood.
I am taking the Perspectives Class and have been led to pray walk in my Fourth Avenue
South neighborhood. The Lord has started opening doors and opportunities and I’ve had some
talks, which have been very interesting to say the least. It is exciting for me to be used by God
to spread His love in my own little community. If you are interested in pray walking your own
neighborhood, I would be happy to join you. Please give me a call at 206-935-1710 and let’s go
win our neighbors for Christ.

Youth and leaders are still gathering regularly
on Sundays at 6 p.m. for Youth Group. If you
know a junior high or high school student who
may be looking for some Christian community, please invite them to Youth Group!
We plan to continue gathering during the
summer months (likely Wednesday evenings)
for things like barbecues, bon-fires, local
adventures, music, small-group discussion,
storytelling and more. Obviously we want students to invest their summer with an eternal
perspective in mind – not waste it.

The majority of Boulevard's young disciples are in 7th, 8th and 10th grade. Please
pray for wisdom that we might understand
which experiences or ministries will most
clearly and contextually point them to Jesus.
A few of us are planning to join Young
Life for a High School Discipleship weekend at
their Malibu property in B.C. Please pray that
the Holy Spirit would transform young hearts
with a desire to love and trust Jesus and to not
conform to the spirt of this world.
We also plan to travel across the mountains for an all-youth group camping trip. Not
scheduled until July, we still have many things
to plan and friends to invite!
Lastly, please be in prayer for those who
are preparing for a trip to serve this summer
for a week with Mexico Caravan Ministries.
Please pray both for the lives of those we
will help, and also that our own perspectives
would be changed so that through this experience many more would be emboldened to
leave their comfortable bubbles and engage
the lost for Christ.

Construction Update
Enjoy the New Entry
By Kathy Rainey
The inside construction work is finished
and we are nearing completion of our new
entry. The window sunshades are now
installed, and in June we are expecting
the stained glass window to be finished.
Furniture will be selected – specifically a
small couch, an upholstered chair and a
side table.
Contractors are being interviewed for
the work outside still to be done. Steps need
to be installed from the parking lot leading
to the new entry way. Several garden pots
and a couple of benches will also be added.
Please enjoy all that has been done!
