ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Letter From The Rector The Rev. George Adamik
APRIL 2011 VOLUME 36, ISSUE 3
ST. PAUL’S LETTER
Dear Friends,
Lenten Journey Thoughts
My whole spiritual journey has been
so powerfully shaped by the words of
Thomas Merton, in particular his
thoughts on the discovery of the ―true
self.‖ I recently came across a phrase of
Richard Rohr which expresses it in a
kind of catchy way. Jesus gives us ―real
eyes‖ to ―realize‖ where the ―real lies.‖
I would like to invite you during this
Lenten and Easter season to develop
your ―real eyes.‖ There is so much in
life that distracts us from the ―real.‖ So
often the distractions become the real
for us and lead to emptiness and
loneliness. Jesus suggests a way of
seeing that opens us to the real. Please
look through this newsletter and
discover both liturgical and educational
opportunities that will invite you to
consider seeing with the ―real eyes‖ of
Jesus.
Children and Youth
As we move through this interim
period of staffing for our children and
youth programs I want to update you
about where we are in our process.
There have been meetings with the
Children’s Ministry Committee and the
Youth Committee as well as the Youth Council. These meeting have been focused
on looking at where we find these programs now, and where we would like them to
be.
With the information gathered we are looking at the staffing requirements to
support these needs, including the number of hours necessary for these positions.
As we come to the conclusion of our stewardship campaign we are also looking at
what funding will be available to support the staffing needs. A Search Committee
is being formed to take the information gathered and begin a process of
advertising and interviewing. Recommendations will be made to me with final
hires made, hopefully in the summer.
Please keep this process in your prayers as we move ahead in this exciting
time for our children and youth programs.
George

Warden’s Corner For me, Lent is a time for
introspection and prayerful reflection. It
also means Spring is coming, and longer
days. Not to mention wondering what I
am going to give up for 40 days. Hard
pretzels are hard to give up! This month,
the stewardship drive comes to
conclusion and will be celebrated March
25th. We are short of our goal by a fairly
substantial amount. At the same time, the
current stewardship cycle comes to
conclusion – your pledge made in 2010
should be honored if at all possible by
March 31st. We have heard many
wonderful stories from the clergy and
fellow parishioners about their
experiences with giving and receiving in
return. Our vestry goals are ambitious,
and we listen to your voices and requests
regarding what you want St. Paul’s to
become. The vestry
wrestles regularly with issues
about staffing, utilities, campus
improvements, security, repairs,
youth programs, music programs,
external demands for increased giving,
starting new ministries and sustaining
existing ones, etc. We hear you, and we
want to respond. And the vestry and
clergy respond by carefully allocating
the gifts that are prayerfully given by
you, the parish. At this time of year, at
this time of reflection and sacrifice,
please consider pledging for the new
cycle, and honoring your pledge from
the prior cycle, so St. Paul’s can continue
on our path of dynamic growth and
support for you.

The mission of the Volunteer
Coordination Committee is two-fold: to
support the ministries and committees of
the parish and to help individuals learn
about and connect with those ministries
which feed their unique talents and desire
for service.
As part of our mission to support
ministries, we will be offering helpful tips
and reminders for ministry leaders.

On April 20, the Elderberries will
visit the J.C. Raulston Arboretum, located
not far from the Fairgrounds. The
Arboretum is a research and teaching
garden, largely maintained by N.C. State
University students, faculty, volunteers,
and staff. There is no charge to tour this
nationally acclaimed beauty spot, and
parking space is plentiful. It is hard to
think of a more fitting way to welcome
Spring than to spend an hour or two in
one of the most botanically diverse and
beautiful natural settings in America. All
are invited to attend. Watch the bulletin
for more information.

On Saturday, April 2, the MOMS
Group and the Fellowship Group are
teaming up to sponsor a tour of
Replacements Ltd. Replacements Ltd. is
a business located east of Greensboro
that has the world’s largest selection of
old and new dinnerware. Do you have
your grandmother’s china or your mother
-in-law’s crystal but are missing pieces
you would like to have? This is the place
where you can find just that piece!
Anyone at St. Paul’s who is interested in
going on this tour is welcomed.
We will meet at the St. Paul’s parking
lot at 11:00 a.m. and will stop and have
lunch on the way. We will tour the
facility (tours are given every 20
minutes) and shop for a while. We plan
to be back at St. Paul’s around 5:00 p.m.
Sign up on the poster located in the
narthex so we can coordinate the
transportation.

MINISTRY LEADER REMINDER-OF-THE-MONTH
Is your committee planning a fund-raiser? A limited number of fundraising events are approved each
year. Planning ahead is key. It’s not too early to begin plan-ning for fall events. In fact, sooner is better. And don’t for-
get… All fundraising requests must be submitted to the Ves-try’s fundraising committee for approval. Fundraising policies and applications are available on the St. Paul’s web site under
Ministry Resources.
The Women’s Study Group will meet
next on April 12th from 12-1:30 to discuss
Three Gospels by Reynolds Price, the
acclaimed NC writer who taught at Duke.
This book studies the Gospels of Mark
and John and also a new Gospel written
by Price himself. One reviewer said,
―Mr. Price inspires a passionate study of
the Gospels, not to disprove or make
intellectual arguments, but to enter more
deeply the divine mystery of Jesus’ life,
death, and resurrection.― This should
prove to be a timely study during the
season of Lent. We would love to have
you join us. For more information,
contact Leah Dail (LeahDail@nc.rr.com).

As of last month, our total recycling
efforts have amounted to 2,600 chip bags
and 2,842 juice pouches! This is an
outstanding effort. Unfortunately, our
cookie wrapper donations have only
amounted to about 300 wrappers – but
we can’t ask you to eat more cookies, can
we? We will ask, however, that you keep
recycling, especially during the Spring
months when all of the sports teams take
to the fields and consume every snack
imaginable! If you want to help, the
items we are recycling are below.
Please note that we can only take the
brands listed. While you may have other
trash made of similar materials to the
listed products, we can only recycle the
brands noted below .
Currently, we are looking to recycle:
1) juice pouch containers (all brands); 2)
cookie wrappers (snack and full size) –
ONLY Keebler products and Nabisco
products including: Chips Ahoy! Nutter
Butter, Oreo, Mallowmars, Fig Newtons,
Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs, Oreo
Cakesters; and; 3) ONLY Frito-Lay chip
bags (all sizes) including Lays Potato
Chips, Doritos, Fritos, Cheetos, Tostitos,
Sun Chips, Rold Gold Pretzels and any
other Frito-Lay product.
There are two plastic collection bins
located inside the Education Building at
the side entrance next to the restrooms.
Please leave your recyclable snack
packages in the bins at any time. Thank

Women Welcoming Women (WWW) is
a women’s organization at St. Paul’s that
celebrates women of all ages and stages
and provides them with the opportunity to
socialize together several times throughout
the year. Each social gathering is intended
to be a relaxing evening out without any
pressure to commit or to volunteer.
Our first event for 2011, hosted by
Betty Charlton and Susan Coulter, was a
great success. With the assistance of our
music director for the evening, Susan
Gilbert, we played a rousing game of
―Name that Tune‖ and warbled our way
through a couple of songs. A great evening
was had by all.
As of now, there are no further events
planned for WWW this year. We have not
had any volunteers commit to ―host‖
additional events in 2011. Hosting duties
are not time consuming and take only the
slightest imagination to plan. If you think
you might want to host a WWW event,
please respond to Sherri Hubbard at
sherri.hubbard@ncdoi.gov as soon as
possible.
In addition, WWW is looking for a new
chair to lead this ministry. This is an easy
ministry to chair as there are no meetings,
no particular time commitments. This is a
social group and the chair’s job is to
provide the women of St. Paul’s an
occasional opportunity to socialize! If you
are looking for a way to share your time
and talent and socializing is at the top of
your list of things to do, please contact
Sherri Hubbard.

We have had a busy March as the
children celebrated Mardi Gras, Dr.
Seuss’s Birthday, had Class Picture Day
and Hot Lunch for the 3, 4, and 5 year
olds. We closed out the end of the month
with conferences for our ―old‖ children,
the 4 and 5 year olds. Time is passing so
quickly it is hard to comprehend that
school will be out in 1 ½ months. The
children have grown so much this year
and we are proud of how hard they have
worked. In April, our classes will be
hard at work on preparing for Easter.
This will be a crazy fun time as we work
hard to accomplish many activities
before Spring Break. Preschool will be
closed for Spring Break and Easter from
Monday, April 18th – Monday, April 25th-
reopening on Tuesday, April 26th.
Our enrollment for the 2011-2012
school year is shaping up nicely. We still
have a couple of spaces available in our
2, 3 and 4 year-old classes. Please send
friends and neighbors our way if they are
looking for a preschool.
The Summer Fun program will be
accepting applications from non-
preschool families after March 28th.
Please call the preschool office at 467-
3788 to see availability.
Happy Easter!

VBS-A Beach Bash! Are you ready for some fun in the
Son? Then dive into St. Paul’s Vacation
Bible School where we will have a beach
blast! Children will have a great time
hearing stories, singing songs, creating
crafts, and playing games. But most
importantly, they’ll discover just how
much God loves them. VBS will be held
July 18-22, 2011 from 9:00 a.m. -12:00
noon. All children from age 3 through
rising 5th graders are welcome; St.
Paul’s affiliation is not required to
participate. We are looking for
volunteers who would like to help with
the fun. Please contact Christine Ingram
for volunteer opportunities. Registration
forms for all children and volunteers are
in the narthex and on the church website
(www.stpaulscary.org).
Communion Classes and Celebration Over 30 children are
attending St. Paul’s three
week communion class
series, taught by our clergy.
The children are learning
about baptism, the history of
the Last Supper, and about
the Eucharist. We look
forward to celebrating the
completion of the communion
classes with the participants on
April 3, where they will be
recognized at the 9:00 a.m.
service. A festive coffee hour
will follow and all are welcome
to attend .
Annual Easter Egg Hunt-we need CANDY! On April 24, Easter Sunday, St.
Paul’s Children’s Ministries will host the
annual Easter Egg Hunt during the
Sunday school hour. No Sunday
school will be held so that all the
children can participate in this
exciting event. If the weather
cooperates, we are hoping to have
our hunt outside this year! To help
with the hunt, we are in need of
small (to fit inside plastic eggs),
individually wrapped candies. We
would also welcome stickers, tattoos,
silly bands and small toys or trinkets that
are church/Easter oriented. Please drop
off all candy donations in Room 2 of the
education building. You may leave your
donation outside Room 2 if the door is
locked. Or, you may bring the candy to
Christine Ingram in the church office.
Thank you!
Children’s Stewardship Since last June our children have
been steadily building up their
stewardship fund and now have over
$1200 to ―spend‖ on their chosen
charity. Our 5th graders chose
Episcopal Relief and Development as
their charity for this year and have
decided to use that money to buy 1 cow,
1 pig, 1 goat, 5 clean waters (5 people),
1 Roving Health Clinic (1 person), and
12 mosquito nets and training. What
wonderful gifts these will be to people in
need! Thank you to our children for
their continued generosity!
Family-Friendly Stations of the Cross On April 22, 2011, Good Friday, a
family-friendly Stations of the Cross
service will be held in the church at
noon. We will have a brief reading and
response at each station. Child care will
be available in Kid’s Club for our littlest
parishioners.

the youth wing and playing Guitar Hero
from 4:00-6:00pm. The meeting will
include dinner. We hope the 5th
graders will be able to join us for the fun

Mite Boxes On Easter Sunday, children will be
invited to bring their mite boxes forward
as an offering to God and to benefit
Episcopal Relief and Development,
specifically for the NetsForLife program.
NetsForLife provides mosquito nets and
training for people in Africa. Each net
costs $12 and, on average, 3 people
sleep under each net. We look forward
to seeing how many nets our children
will fund!

The EYC continues to support Kiva
through continued donations and the re-
lending of money that has already
been invested. Because Kiva is a loan
organization, we have the benefit of
being able to continually re-lend
money as it is repaid. As we have a
large amount of money invested in
Kiva and being actively loaned, the
EYC has decided to take the Bishop’s
Nets For Life challenge as their own. St.
Paul’s EYC has set a goal of funding a net
for every active member of the EYC. The
donations at the Shrove Tuesday Kiva
Carnival offered a strong start and the
EYC is on its way to reaching their goal!

As you reflect during this Lenten
season, please remember Bishop
Curry’s 2011 project to provide
chemically treated mosquito nets for
those in sub-Saharan Africa, where a
child dies from malaria every 60
seconds. Each parish is challenged to
provide one net for each adult
confirmed congregant. Each net can
provide protection from mosquitoes
during the night for three people, often
women and children. For St. Paul’s that
equates to approximately 540
nets. At $12.00 a net, it surely
is a reachable goal.
Please help by:
Placing a check to St. Paul’s in
the offering plate,

identify St. Paul’s, Cary, Diocese of
North Carolina, for proper credit.

In the summer of 1965, forty six years
ago, Catherine Williams, a charter
member of St Paul’s, donated the bell in
memory of her grandfather, Edwards
Stokes Fishbourne Sr. The bell was
mounted in a cupola that the parishioners
built on the first church building. The
metal church building had been
constructed in 1960. It was affectionately
called ―The Tin Building.‖
For sixteen years a child was
selected for each Sunday church service
to have the honor of ringing the bell to
call the parishioners to worship. In 1981
the second church building, the current
chapel, was built. The bell and the Cross
from the top of the cupola of the old
building were placed in storage.
Today, if you walk from the parking
lot to the courtyard and you look up as
you enter, you will see a tower in front
of the chapel. You will see a metal roof
supported by two posts surrounded by a
brick base. Below the roof is a cross
mounted on the base between the two
posts. The roof, cross, and brick mirror
the roof, cross, and brick of the chapel.
The metal roof reminds us of the Tin
Building. Walk over to the tower and you
will see the bell mounted between the
posts under the roof. This is the Bell
Memorial. The Bell and Cross were on
St. Paul’s first church building, the Tin
Building, constructed by the
parishioners.
On June 12 of this year, during the
courtyard dedication, the Bell Memorial
will be dedicated to the founders of St.
Paul’s.
At the Easter Sunday services, after
thirty years, the bell will ring out to the
Glory of the Resurrected Lord, to call the
parishioners to worship.

Courtyard Changes Pause for Easter This season of Lent offers a unique
opportunity to set aside the ―busyness‖
of life, and to reflect. As we pause our
work during April, we encourage you to
linger in the Courtyard and enjoy the
many views.
The Courtyard transformation is
being funded entirely through a $5K
donation from 2010 Lobsterfest
proceeds, and the generous gifts of time,
talent and treasure from parishioners.
We will continue the transformation as
funds become available.
How can you help?
Contribute to the effort: Your financial contributions to the Courtyard Fund
will allow us to: address the courtyard
entry way; install high-efficiency
lighting; create a lattice surround for
the Parish Hall HVAC area; install rain
barrels and ensure water delivery for
newly planted trees and larger
shrubs. Simply write a check to St.
Paul’s Episcopal Church, with
