A WORD FROM THE PRIEST-IN-CHARGE
By Pastor Kimmy Meinecke
““And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)
It’s been three months – the Lentiest Lent we ever Lented and the FiftyDays of Easter with our masks on. I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say itagain: these are most unusual times we are in!
We started worshiping online with Facebook and with Zoom on March 22and are still at it. Indeed, we plan to continue to offer Facebook live andZoom worship even once it is deemed that we may gather in slightly largergroups in worship. It has become clear through research that gathering forworship – given its nature, the size of buildings, and the ways of interactingin worship – is one of the more dangerous activities that people mightengage in.
Despite the fact that the governor has issued a memorandum that allowshouses of worship to begin gathering in person for worship (withsignificant restrictions and safety measures in place), we will not begathering together in person at the church building quite yet. We areprayerfully waiting for lower infection rates in the county, word from thegovernor about moving to Phase 3, and permission from Bishop Rehbergthat we may begin worshiping in person together in our building.
We are prepared for that next step. Your Worship and Music Committeerecommended a plan for gathering again in worship; that document wasapproved by your Vestry; and the plan was then approved by BishopRehberg. There are a number of significant differences – three of them arestarkly different – from what you may be familiar with. It’s a good thingthat our community is flexible and adaptable!
One of the stark differences will be the way in which we receive HolyCommunion. First of all, YES!, we will get to celebrate Holy Communionagain. Of course, we have been worshiping and living deeply in the Wordtogether for these past three months (and into the next month or two), butwe have all been fasting from Eucharist for a long time. It will be good tofeast together in the goodness of the Lord.

A WORD FROM THE PRIEST-IN-CHARGE, CONT.
Another change is that we will not be able to raise our voices in songduring worship. This makes me very sad, but is because singing is one ofthe most potent ways in which this virus can be spread. We will still havemusic, we just won’t sing together.
The other difference is being made in order to meet the restriction of nomore than 20 people gathered for worship (which includes the leaders.)Our 9:00 a.m. service regularly sees more than twice that number of peoplein worship! In order to begin to provide enough worship space for ourRite II/The Table/9:00 a.m. worshipers, we will begin offering thatworship at 8:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. The services will be the same.The 11:00 a.m. service will continue to be Rite III/The Circle. We willhave a system for signing up for worship via an internet link (for those ofyou without internet, you can call the office.)
Yet, we have more work to do to be ready for this new way of worshipingin person together. For instance, our volunteers on Altar Guild, as Chalicebearers, as ushers, as readers, and as cantors (singers) will need training inour new guidelines. As a community, we will have to re-train ourselves tonot hug one another or get too close to each other. This may be the mostdifficult thing, especially when we first gather again.
We are in most unusual times! Yet, we are still the people of God; we arestill living our Baptismal Covenants of loving God, living our faith everyday, sharing God’s mercy and justice in the world, and working towardsreconciliation and healing in the world; and we are still living in thepresence of the Divine Trinity.
In Matthew’s Gospel, after Jesus’ resurrection and visits with his disciples,he goes away. But, only after he has made this promise and declaration:
“And, remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Whether we worship in the same building at the same time, or can gathersafely for fellowship and community, the Lord is present with us. Jesus iswith us always. It is difficult to have to remain apart, but we do so becausewe are caring for the most vulnerable amongst us. We are showing ourlove for our friends and neighbors who have weakened immune systems.We are tending to the needs of our community with compassion and grace.We are reflecting the love and presence of God in our world.

ST. MARTHA’S MATTERSBy Theresa Brim While we emerge slowly from this quarantine period, we look
forward to meeting again on Saturday, September 5 to plan our fall activities,including the Bake and Craft Sale on Sunday, December 13 (Jackie has herjam ready. A social meeting is scheduledfor October 3 with rumor of a Tea Party being planned. Save the date! As of now we don't know when the Habitat for Humanity Blitz Build weekwill be. More information is coming on that endeavor. While we wait for lifeto return to a sort-of-normal please stay safe and healthy. God bless.
The country has come to a tenuous truce with the coronavirus. When and howthe final resolution will arrive, however, remains clouded in confusion anduncertainty. The virus is opportunistic and will returnquickly if given the chance. Therefore, we mustcontinue to be wary, for how the virus behaves dependsupon how we as a community behave.
Nevertheless, people are seeing light at the end of along tunnel and are eagerly anticipating life without thethreat of Covid-19. Increasingly, efforts to reboot theeconomy and revive our customary patterns of socialinteraction are underway. Businesses are eager toreopen. People are looking forward to returning to churches, wanderingthrough stores, eating at restaurants, and engaging in their favorite recreationalactivities. Already, people are clustering cautiously in small groups, relishingphysical closeness with friends and neighbors once again.
While we all desire an end to the pandemic, not everyone will emerge joyfullyfrom lockdown. When the pandemic finally recedes, it will have left in itswake much sadness and grief. Tens of thousands of people have died, hospitalstaff, medical teams and first responders are exhausted and traumatized, andmillions of working families face a long struggle to recover financially fromlost jobs and businesses.
Despite government stimulus efforts, healing and restoration will not comequickly for much of the country. The coronavirus does not discriminatebetween rich and poor, but with wealth comes status and power. Prosperityallows families to find refuge more easily, obtain medical care more readily,and rebuild their wealth more quickly in the aftermath of economic turmoil.Insulated by wealth, they will weather the storm. In contrast, the pandemic hashit low-income families much harder, especially in large cities. Crowdedhousing increased viral transmission. Low-skill, but essential, service jobsplaced low-income workers in vulnerable positions. Underinsurance and pooraccess to adequate health care jeopardized treatment. Further complicating thesituation, the majority of low-income families lack a sufficient savings—afinancial safety net—to withstand a crisis like this pandemic and will thereforehave greater difficulty recovering from lost jobs and lost wages.

FROM THE ART COMMITTEE
FROM THE DEACON, CONT.
The pandemic has also highlighted what has been known for a long time, thatwe are a country of inequality. A Pew Research Center survey, published inearly May, revealed that the financial and health impacts of the Covid-19pandemic varied widely by race and ethnicity. Why do such inequalities exist?Why is the death rate from Covid-19 higher for black Americans? Why haveHispanic and black Americans suffered greater job losses than whiteAmericans during the pandemic? Why are minorities and low-income familiesdisproportionately harmed by the virus?
Inequalities in society have been with us for generations. It is too easy tooverlook what doesn’t affect us directly, to rationalize away what we don’twant to face. In this time of Covid-19, it is too easy to let self-interest distanceus from the misery of others, but when we turn a blind eye, we harden ourhearts. When do economic disparities, racial disparities, and disparities inhealth care become too great? When does our complacency become immoral?
As we anticipate an end to the pandemic, we should not forget the manypeople hard hit by the virus and the lockdowns. We should especiallyremember that the pandemic has disproportionately harmed minority andlow-income families. How can we assist their recovery? Jesus came that wemay have life, and have it more abundantly. Did Jesus notdesire that for everyone? When we fail to be concernedfor the well-being of others and for the common good, weare forsaking people beloved by God. To make Christknown in the world, we must live with the same love andcompassion Jesus showed the world.
ISOLATION ART CHALLENGE!Art feeds us. Use your creativity and inspiration in an art or craft form to
display at the end of September. It will be time well spent to feed your mind,body and soul this Summer.
Color a mandala, play with clay, paint water color, acrylic, pencil sketch;needle point, latch hook, felt, explore something new. (I am experimentingpainting with COFFEE!) Remember, every time you pick up the pencil, handleclay, make a stitch, you are mirroring the Creator who made you! Have fun!--Mary Ann Sinclair

CELTIC CORNER
By Judith Scarborough
Summer Solstice - Saturday June 20, 2020 ~ The following is taken from Caitlin Matthews’book of daily meditations, The Celtic Spirit.
The solstices and equinoxes are celebrated in diverse cultures, aswitnessed by the many standing stone circles, and below-groundpassageways and chambers (as Newgrange in Ireland and Aztec RuinsNational Monument in New Mexico) that are aligned to the position of thesun on these feasts. In earlier times, the sun was key to survival ~providing crops to sustain people and beasts through the long winter whenit was feared the sun would never return. Consider this little practice onSummer Solstice this year, to connect with all those from whom we areseparated at this time, and to bring some love and light into your heart, andtheirs. The Prayer of Midsummer
Sun-stone’s kiss, midsummer pleasure,Welcome all and some.At the hele-stone sing and gather,Every blessed one. -Caitlin Matthews, “Midsummer Blessing”
On this, the longest day of the year, an annual miracle occurs. At dawn,the first rays of the sun touch the hele-stone, the solitary sighting stonethat stands outside the great circle of Stonehenge. The miracle of thelongest day is celebrated by peoples all over the world as the time ofgreatest light and blessedness. Tonight we will have the shortest night, theleast darkness of the year, as the sun climbs to its zenith in the heavens.
At midday, stand in the sunlight, which (unless you are very far north orvery far south of the equator) will be directly overhead. Check to seewhere, if anywhere, your shadow is. Most people will find that there isscant shadow at all. All living creatures cast shadows; it is only spirits whohave none. This is the nearest we can come to resembling spirits in thisreality. Become attuned to the midsummer sun. Absorb the warmth andblessedness, and in return hold in your heart those who lack the blessing oflight. Do not make any prayer for things to be changed one way oranother; just hold these places and beings in your heart and let the sunshine upon them. Come back to the awareness of your own time and place,and give thanks for the longest day.
It is traditional to make a bonfire at twilight and stay up late dancing,singing, and making merry with the community. If you cannot do this, lighta candle and make your own blessing for all beings on this happy day. thatis new.

FROM THE PEW
A REFLECTIONBy Jeanne Mitchell
Some days we can feel like it is nearly a lost cause. It is too late, too much water over the bridge, too many wrong paths taken, too manynearly unsolvable problems, like we have been dealing with lately, with nearly too little energy to change even what we can, and nearlyoverwhelmed by what still exist. We start down intothe dark place, a place of despair. A lonely place, withso much pain; it constricts the heart.
But with our faith and the memory of God’s goodfrom the past, a prayer cries out; “Oh God, I seek yourface, don’t lose me. I need and love you.”
And God, with the giving of many great gifts oftalents, holds us tighter within the arms and effort of others and Godtalks to us with morning meditations and walks through our heartswithin evening prayers and the reflections of the day.
And the healing begins with the remembrance of the magnitude of aloving God beyond and all around us, our God, immeasurable, constantand unconditionally there to guide us into the loving future that He hasprepared for us.
