I invite you to a Lenten focus upon the reality of one of our great enemies, the devil. Of course Lent will launch on Ash Wednesday with our traditional services at 7AM, Noon, and 7PM all of which will include the imposition of ashes.

And then each Wednesday during the season we will have our mid- week Lenten series with seasonally appropriate music performed by various guest musicians followed by various speakers who will unpack for us this year’s focus – “Evil, The Diabolical Spirit which Haunts the Wilderness.” And there will be a delicious light soup lunch following the time of teaching.

The final Sunday of Epiphany always has as its gospel lesson Jesus’ time up on the Mount of Transfiguration. And yet there is a different day already set aside for the remembrance of that grand event – The Feast of Transfiguration on August 6th. So why consider it twice? There is likely more than one good answer to that question.
But I’m convinced that one of the answers is that the focus of the last Sunday after the Epiphany is upon the descent from the mount or the contrast between the experience of the mount and the experience down below. That this is not a fanciful interpretation is strongly suggested by the fact that the Old Testament lesson for our upcoming Sunday comes from Exodus 34 and begins with these words,
Moses came down from Mount Sinai. As he came down from the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God.
Yes, we’re being invited to ponder the contrast between the mountain heights of Epiphany and its manifestations of our glorious Lord with Lent and its immediate reminder that we have a wicked, diabolical and super-human enemy. Lent always begins with Jesus going out into the wilderness to confront the devil. Thus, it is appropriate for his people to confront the devil as well. This year our mid-week Lenten series will be a consideration of the nature of evil, and its impact upon our experience in this world. It is necessary that we have a realistic and Biblically-informed understanding of these things. In fact, let me suggest that naiveté in these matters is a sure-fire recipe for spiritual disaster.

How Do You Describe A “Senior”? Fr. Richard Clark - ([email protected])
Age is an obvious tag, but relatively unhelpful.
There are so many variables in individual lives that
age tells nothing really.
To me, a Senior is a person who is
EXPERIENCED. By the age 50 one has been
around the block enough times to be at least
beginning to become settled. The fact that no
one’s experiences are all successes, or even
positive in the moment, is irrelevant. They
are still useful. They are our repertory and
they make us who we are.
A Senior is a person who can be
DISCERNING. This is due to those
accumulated experiences, as well as the
obvious shifts that are occurring in one’s 50s and
above or can be seen to be coming at some point
down the road. Things naturally fall into perspective
somewhat differently than at an earlier age.
And a Senior is POISED FOR ACTION – a
person more prepared to tackle the changes,
challenges and opportunities that have now
become more obvious.
Let me know how this fits with your sense of
yourself, if you are 50 or above. No one is
perfect, but we all fall somewhere on the
spectrum. The important thing is to be aware
of ourselves and to try looking at ourselves
through God’s eyes and seeing ourselves as partners
with the Lord – children of God in whom his Spirit is
operating as much as we allow.

‘LENTEN THOUGHTS IN
GROSVENOR CHAPEL’
A poem by John Betjeman, commended by Dean William McKeachie
In l973, 40 years ago this spring, I was in Oxford, England, working
on a paper I had been commissioned to present to an ecumenical
symposium on the topic of Anglicanism as a distinct tradition or,
perhaps more incisively, distinctive spiritual ethos within, so to speak,
the length and breadth and spectrum of Christendom: not so much a
via media between mediaeval Catholicism and radical Protestantism
as a way of experiencing and expressing life in the flesh as at one and the same time 'fallen' and
transparent to the transformative Spirit of God, capax Dei.
There are many works of art, music, and literature, as well as a number of moments and movements in Anglican history,
that capture this ethos. But as it happened, that very spring, as I was assembling the 'evidences' for my paper, the author
John Betjeman published the following little poem which, in its very particular, anecdotal, almost incidental way,
captured the essence of what I wanted to demonstrate.
At the exquisitely beautiful London church where Betjeman worshiped, the parish priest has been admonishing his
parishioners not to be spiritually distracted by the allure of worldly beauty. Ironically, however, it is the regular, faithful,
devout presence in worship, at that very church, of a beautiful, alluring woman -- the "Mistress" -- which elicits in
Betjeman a transforming consciousness of the mystery of divine beauty sinfully glimpsed through human flesh, and
hence the Lenten call to repentance: not so much “the beauty of holiness” as a beauty that awakens the longing for
holiness and the need for repentance ... a distinctively Anglican ethos, indeed, both Catholic and Protestant.
Isn't she lovely, "the Mistress"?
With her wide-apart grey-green eyes,
The droop of her lips and, when she smiles,
Her glance of amused surprise?
How nonchalantly she wears her clothes,
How expensive they are as well!
And the sound of her voice is as soft and deep
As the Christ Church tenor bell.
But why do I call her "the Mistress"
Who know not her way of life?
Because she has more of a cared-for air
Than many a legal wife.
How elegantly she swings along
In the vapoury incense veil;
The angel choir must pause in song
When she kneels at the altar rail.
The parson said that we shouldn't stare
Around when we come to church,
Or the Unknown God we are seeking
May forever elude our search.
But I hope that the preacher will not think
It unorthodox and odd
If I add that I glimpse in "the Mistress"
A hint of the Unknown God.
'Lenten Thoughts in Grosvenor Chapel'
John Betjeman’s poem reflects the more ‘Catholic’ or ‘High’ aspect of Anglican tradition, a trend with roots in the Caro-
line Divines of 17th century England and peaking in the mid 20th century. The more ‘Protestant’ or ‘Reformed’ face of
Anglicanism, at its height in the early Reformation era, would be well represented by the poetry of Fulke Greville, Lord
Brooke, one of whose penitential poems will be considered in next week’s Messenger, focusing on the Unknown God
made known in the person and work of Jesus, down in the depths of our very sin.
Love is in the air as hearts and cupids appear with those “gentle” reminders that the Feast of Saint Valentine is approaching. Valentine’s Day, as we have come to know it, is that holiday when one sends expressions of love to that “special” person or persons. The history of Valentine’s Day and the story of its patron saint seem to be shrouded in mystery. There are several versions, but the one most often heard reveals St. Valentine’s Day as having begun as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus.
The most popular martyrology associated with Saint Valentine, a priest near Rome in about 270 A.D,(a time when the church was enduring great persecution) was that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire. During his imprisonment, he is said to have healed the blind daughter of his jailer. Legend states that before his execution he wrote “from your Valentine” as a farewell to her. The jailer’s daughter and his forty-four member household (family members and servants) came to believe in Jesus and were baptized. Today, Saint Valentine’s Day is an official feast day in the Anglican Communion.
So, what is this thing called Love? Song composer Cole Porter questioned the definition of love when he wrote the lyrics to his song, “What is This Thing Called Love” in 1929. Difficult to define, love has been described as “an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment. No one can experience this kind of love more than a new grandparent. With the arrival of my first grandchild, as well as those which followed, it was my desire to have my emotions/feelings and personal attachment readily known. Before they could walk I took advantage of their attentive eye with a verbal “I LOVE YOU” sign language, first pointing to my eye (I); then drawing an imaginary heart (Love) followed with a pointed finger towards them (YOU). To this day we never part without our “I LOVE YOU’S” only we have added out stretched arms symbolizing “THIS MUCH----------------------------------!” This is a personal attachment with strong affection and a whole lot of emotion. This is LOVE. Love is also said to be a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection…the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another. This is a faithful love, the quality that honors a covenant through thick and thin. Paul defines this virtue (love) best as he addressed the Corinthians:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. I Corinthians 13:4-8
Paul’s love letter to the Corinthians is a confirmation of how one is to love and should be embedded in our hearts. Paul’s definition of love is a daily test as we face the world and life. There are those moments when one’s love can be tested with situations that, despite loving someone, you may just not like them. A young mother was exasperated with her “endearing” little ones following a birthday party in which, let’s just say, the mother was put to the test with a few temper tantrums. The conditions challenged her “unconditional love.” Her “unfailing love” and personal attachment were failing with a strong desire to become detached. Love is patient, love is kind…it is not easily angered!!!!! We have all been there at some time or another when despite our “undying” love for …, their behavior has put them on your “hit” list. You love them but just don’t care
for them at the moment. Is there a “loved one” in your life that you may not care for at the moment? How do you react when your love has been tested? Are you slow to anger, patient, forgiving? How are you displaying your love for others, even the ones you may not “care for” at the moment? Does your pride cause you to keep a record of wrongs, always bringing up the past when…? Are your arms “out stretched” to the “unlovable” with a genuine concern for the good of another? Love, God’s Love, is discussed in the first week’s study of Kelly Minter’s Nehemiah, a heart that can break, as Nehemiah prayed before the God of heaven.
Then I said: ‘O LORD, God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and obey his commands…’ Nehemiah 1:5
Nehemiah first recognizes God for who He is as well as acknowledging God’s Love. This is a unique love which Kelly Minter defines using the Hebrew word, hesed, for God’s covenant of love. Hesed means “unfailing love, loyal love, devotion, kindness, often based on a prior relationship, especially a covenant relationship.” Kelly further states: “You may have wondered, if God’s hesed is so unconditional and free why does He keep it ‘with those who love Him and keep His commands?’(Neh.1:5) The idea is not that God’s hesed for us is conditional, but that His love compels us to love Him back with affection and obedience. It’s a gracious circle that begins and ends with God, enabling us to love Him in return, a love that doesn’t allow us to live cheaply but fully! A bit of a mystery perhaps, but one worth embracing.” So what is this thing called love? Embrace Him with outstretched arms as He embraces you with His unconditional love. He desires to “make you His”. His desire and yours should be a “personal attachment” with strong affection, expressing your emotions/feelings to one another. Make this your virtue. This is LOVE.

2013 Lenten
Study:
“Footsteps
to the
Father”
The season of
Lent begins on Ash
Wednesday, February 13. This 40 day season of “praying, fasting,
and giving alms” (as the traditional, age-old words remind us) is a
season of looking upward at our heavenly Father’s amazing love
for us; inward, at how we can make a conscientious and serious
effort to draw closer to Him; and outward at how the Lord wants
to direct our steps to conform more to HIS will and HIS desires for
our lives. Most of all, though, Lent is all about GOD… His
amazing and incredible love for us that offered up His own Son to
live among us, and to die on the cross, that we might have eternal
life with Him. Though the Lord does not “need” anything, He still
longs for us to spend time each day with Him….to “walk with
Him,” so that we begin to see things from HIS perspective and with
HIS eyes. This will be our goal during this Lenten season.
Our 2013 Children’s Lenten Study is titled “Footsteps to the
Father.” The way to know the Father is to know His Son, Jesus
Christ. As Jesus said, “If you have seen Me, you have seen the
Father.” Thus, we will be looking at the important days of Jesus’
ministry here on earth (those three years that changed the world!)
We will look at Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5, 6, and
7), and will continue our study of some of the amazing miracles of
our Lord, as well as looking at His great and best known parables.
We shall also look at His later ministry (which includes many of
His crucial teachings), and shall literally “follow in His footsteps”
as we approach the events of Holy Week, the last week of His life
here on earth, looking at each of the specific events of that week
which the world can never forget. Each week in Lent, our
“Footsteps” study will focus on a specific “footstep” which our
Lord invites US to take, to draw closer to Him, and to become
more like Him.
Parents, we shall be sending home Lenten devotional materials
and home-designed, simple “thoughts for prayer and study” each
week during the season. With children in mind, these will be
simple, practical, and “do-able.” Take time to look at these
materials, and to ask your children about their studies each Sunday.
Many are applicable to the whole family. God’s blessings for a
holy, fulfilling Lent!
Shrove Tuesday - Mardi
Gras Party….. What is
Shrove Tuesday?
Come enjoy an evening of great fun and carefree
festivity on Tuesday, February 12, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
This is “Fat Tuesday,” a day to celebrate in great style before
the disciplines of Lent begin. (Back in medieval times,
priests used to hear people’s confessions and “shrive” them
of their sins, or grant them absolution and a clean slate , in the
name of the Lord, the day before Lent began. Thus, the word
“Shrove Tuesday,” when priests shrove people, to prepare them for
a holy Lent). Also, many years ago, people used to fast very
strictly during the season of Lent, giving up eggs, fat, butter, etc.,
and eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday was a good way to use up
a lot of fat in the house; thus came “Fat Tuesday,” also named thus
for some of the great celebrating (without restraint) that goes on in
some quarters on Mardi Gras. No worry….our celebrating here at
St. Andrew’s will be very festive and fun, but family-friendly too,
not “wild and reckless” of course!
The evening will include: great food (pancakes, barbecue &
sides) delightful, festive music, some selections very jazzy; a little
simple dancing for our children; color caricatures for all ages; face
painting and balloon sculptures; several fun strolling entertainers;
yummy cookie and cupcake decorating; arts and crafts for the
children; St. Peter’s fishing booth; a drawing for prize baskets; and
the crowning of a King and Queen of Mardi Gras. Wear a mask
(or make one that evening at the Mask Booth), and/or a costume; or
come as you are. FABULOUS FUN FOR ALL AGES!!!!!
Don’t miss it! Bring several friends !!!
VBS 2013: Mark the Dates!
