FROM THE INTERIM RECTOR
A
Huge Thank You!
I
am grateful to so many people this Easter week. First of all to Deb, for all
she did to produce the bulletins for Holy Week and Easter Day, while juggling
all of her usual weekly tasks (not to mention doing the same thing for All Saints!).
And to all of you who played a part in the Holy Week and Easter services, wow!
The services were beautiful, from the music to the readings to the attention to
hundreds of details. These services are all uniquely different, each telling a
part of the story leading up to the Resurrection, and they were all moving and
beautiful. At the risk of inadvertently leaving someone out, I want to thank:
-Sammie
and members of the Altar Guild, for setting up for each service, for the hours
of cleaning and polishing on Saturday morning, and for magically transforming
the church from the bareness of the stripped altar to the glory of Easter.
-Gretchen,
for taking care of getting the palms and Easter flowers, and all who donated
them.
-Bunny
and the Choir, for all the music, and especially the anthem on Easter morning.
-Val,
for leading the music on Maundy Thursday and her beautiful harp accompaniment
-All
the readers, who read with such expression and meaning; especially the dramatic
readings of the Passion on Palm Sunday and Good Friday, and the readings during
the stripping of the altar and at the Vigil.
-All
the ushers, acolytes, lectors and Eucharistic ministers.
-Ellie
and Nancy, for filling roles as Assisting Priests in all our liturgies.
-Betsy,
for her beautiful rendition of the Exsultet (that took a LOT of practice!).
-Cathie,
for organizing the Easter coffee hour, and to everyone who brought a delicious
dish.
I
am off this Sunday, April 23. Gretchen will lead Morning Prayer at 8:00 and
Lisa and Cathie at 10:00.
Easter
blessings and joy,
Caroline

FOOD FOR
THOUGHTWe turn our backs on death and its legions. We turn our gaze instead toward resurrection and its infinite epiphanies. Death has been defeated, “swallowed up”! The Saints stand ready to greet us. They join the Lamb, the Spirit and the Bride saying, “Come”.
