5 Theo's Note We are now engaged in the Church’s version of the membership

pledge drive so common on public radio and television. (Aren’t you

glad we only do it annually?!) Between now and November 22 you will

receive various pieces of information designed to encourage your spir-

itual discernment about ways that you might step up and assist in meet-

ing the the goals of the parish. (Please also check our website under

ʺSupportʺ for further information on giving.)

Some of you may be looking for the usual ʺhard factsʺ rather than spir-

itual meditations, but research tells us that most people really donʹt re-

spond to ʺfacts.ʺ Experts say that congregational members tend to tune

out requests to ante up in order to meet the budget. Generally, they

don’t respond to emphasizing scarcity or maintenance or need, either.

These things, even when they are realities, just make people feel

stressed and even resentful.

Besides, it’s thinking small and it really doesn’t display an attitude of

trust in God at all.

So let me lay out a few alternatives:

Give out of gratitude and a sense of thanksgiving. Let your giving

reflect and celebrate the lavishness of God’s bounty. God has blessed

each one of us with so much. Calculate what percentage of your house-

hold income (including, for you retired folks, your savings and pen-

sions) you currently return to God. Can you increase your proportional

giving?

Give of your first fruits—the first, the very best, of what you have

been given—not the left-overs. This means: give to God first, then figure

out your household budget. Isn’t God worth it?

Give with a glad heart. If you can’t, stop giving. Because the truth is

that unless you are moved by the Spirit—unless you see the potential

and are convicted of the worth of this community as a vehicle of God’s

grace in the world—nothing I or anyone else can say is going to make

any difference. Will you invest yourself fully in the work God is

doing in this place? It will take approximately $3,000 per house-

hold to do this in 2016.

Make no mistake: whatever you do with your money is a spiritu-

al issue. Pray about it; search your hearts; strive for that child-like

spirit of trust in God; and then act. May the decision you reach

reflect the joy and abundance of God’s presence in your life and in

this place.

Theo+

P.S. Don’t think I don’t wrestle with this too. While I am among

you I am returning 10% of my salary or $280 per month to Christ

Church. This level of giving does not make me better than anyone

else, but it does raise a question: If I, who am only a sojourner

here, believe in the mission and ministry of this place enough to

support it sacrificially, can you who are residents here do less?

Yes, sometimes I am tempted to think that all this puts a real

crimp in my life-style, but the reality is that I lack for nothing I tru-

ly need. And so with gladness, I present the offering of my life

and labor to the Lord, and take my place as a co-creator with God,

an agent of life and love in a Church whose purpose is to trans-

form the world. Aren’t you called to do the same?

The Rev. Theo Park, Transition Priest

Walking the Way Annual Giving Campaign

Through Engaging All God’s Creation.” This

ty has a well-developed program of environmental action or you

are just starting out.

The Fifth Mark of Mission of the Episcopal Church is ʺTo strive

to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the

life of the earth.ʺ Please join us in beginning a new era of in-

creased action on the Fifth Mark of Mission in Minnesota. Fee for

A letter to the church from the 26th Presiding Bishop

October 23, 2015 A letter to the Episcopal Church from The Most Rev.

Katharine Jefferts Schori, Primate and Presiding

Bishop of the Episcopal Church as she prepares to

hand over the reins to her successor, The Rt. Rev.

Michael Curry, on November 1.

The Episcopal Church has come a long way in the

last 10 years. We are no longer consumed by internal

conflict over various social issues. We are clearer

about who we are – a multinational church, with

congregations in 17 nations, worshiping in countless

different languages, thriving in international,

immigrant, and multicultural contexts everywhere,

and discovering the abundant life that comes in

turning outward to love the neighbors nearby and far

away. We are far more conscious about our vocation

as partners in the mission of God to reconcile and heal

the world, particularly shaped by the Five Anglican

Marks of Mission. We are holding our identity as

Episcopal Christians a bit more confidently, even in

the midst of our diversity. We are also more willing to

hold that identity lightly and gracefully in engaging

other Christians and people of other religious

traditions, searching for what we dream of in common

– shalom, the Reign of God, a more just and peaceful

world, with abundant life for all creation.

I am deeply grateful for what God has been up to in

the midst of our journey together, and I look forward

to seeing how this church of the middle way will

continue to lead and partner as we travel the road

home, into God’s fullest dream of abundant life for

all. I thank the people of this Church and beyond for

your prayers over the last nine years – especially in

recognition that we do this work together, never

alone. May God bless the next chapter of The

Episcopal Church’s engagement in God’s mission, as

we go together into Galilee!

FAITH IN ACTION FAITH IN ACTION

A Success Story . . . .

On Wednesdays Sandy does respite care for a retired

couple where the wife has dementia and Parkinsonʹs

disease. The husband is the kind of man every person

would want to know - kind, generous, and involved

for years in activities that bring joy to families with

children.

Because of Sandyʹs natural inclination to be caring

and outgoing, the couple and their grown children,

also, have bonded with this great lady who is my wife.

They know their wife and mother is in good hands

when they are tending to matters outside their homes.

Faith in Action has another successful case of a vol-

unteer bringing peace of mind and some free time to a

deserving Red Wing family.

I’m a Christ Church Booster Because…

Christ Church members provide a loving, caring, and

fun community. Pat, 66

Christ Church is a happy place where one can feel

safe and loved. I love the church services where ser-

mons are meaningful, where prayers pive me peace

and comfort, and where the hymns are familiar. We

have great special music from our gifted parishioners

or persons in the community. God has blessed us with

wonderful staff. Marm, 79

It’s a wonderful, supportive community to be part

of!! Mike, 67

I have been a member since 1957 and have always

felt very much “at home” here. To me it has always

been a wonderful place to attend but I have noticed

over the years it has beome even more a place of wel-

come and comfort. Perhaps, too, I have become more

outgoing and involved which has made a difference!!

I especially enjoy the various activities in which I am

involved- Altar Guild being my first love. It is my

privilege to intermingle with so many members of

Christ Church. I am so thankful for the super

leadership we as a congregation are afforded. It is a

true blessing to be a member and a Booster of Christ

Church. Mary, 87

I had a rough childhood and I have not always wor-

shipped God but he came to me and I am eternally

grateful.

I like Sunday School. Jenna, 11

I like acolyting. Ryslan, 11

I like sitting next to Mrs. Dressen. Ella, 9

I love my church family. June, 89

The most beautiful stained glass windows in town

are an inspiration. The liturgy and music are majestic.

They’re a bunch of good people who care for each

other. Anon.

Love the church and close knit family! Beautiful

building. Anon., 63

Christ Episcopal Church has been my “home away

from home” since 1949. Friends made at that time are

still my best friends, although some have passed

away. Memories of those experiences are some of my

fondest. At Christ Church one can worship in a beauti-

ful historical church and be involved in maintaining it.

There are many opportunities to learn by joining [the

various committees and educational offerings]. Joan,

91

Family Tradition. It isn’t the best reason church/

religion-wise, but it is one of the main things that

keeps me involved. I am fifth generation at Christ

Church and that is a source of pride. My family grew

up in this Church and I have very fond memories in

our “family pew.” We’ve had family baptisms, confir-

mations, weddings and funerals in this Church. My

great grandfather was Senior Warden, my father was

Senior Warden, and I assume I’ll pick up the torch this

next time around. I can’t imagine this place not being

Christ Episcopal Church. Jon

This place welcomes me and gives me peace. I am

challenged, loved, and appreciated. I am able to help

others and share my faith. Catherine J., 60

The Church is an important central fixture in Red

Wing and the people involved are caring. Randy J., 60

It gives me a chance to fulfill my Christian mission

and is a place that reminds me of morals and ethics.

Bill H., 69

Church is a weekly vacation, a refresher from the

busy week. It is a time to sit, to sing, to meditate on the

lessons. It is therapy to be thankful, to think of others

and how we should be. Anon., 62

Lots of family history; diversity of parishioners; fa-

miliar liturgy; peaceful place. Anon.

Decades of family history – 5 generations! We care

about the church and our church family. We believe in

the ministry of Christ Church. Anon.

When our son Steve took off and was gone for over

ten years, we received so much support through many

prayers and concerns. After all those years we re-

ceived a call from Steve asking us to come out to Se-

attle. We drove out to meet him and he had booked us

at a Bed & Breakfast. The days were spent visiting,

going to the Rain Forest and the Peninsula. One after-

noon we sat at the Park and looked at pictures of

events that had transpired while he was gone. It was a

bit painful, but he was happy that he got caught up.

Since that time, we have kept in touch with Steve. Our

community was also very supportive with their pray-

ers. We felt blessed when we were asked about Steve:

it was almost like another prayer was said. We are so

grateful and thankful for all the concern and support.

Yea, Christ Church!! Chuck and Dawna

To walk in Christ Church is very comforting. When

I’m “settled” in the pew I feel at ease. I never get tired

of looking at the stained glass windows. The music is

wonderful: it adds so much to the service. I am very

lucky to be part of a great community! Sharon Bryan

Why Christ Episcopal Church? Our family moved to

Red Wing in June from out of state. While my hus-

band used to live in the area and has friends and fami-

ly near, this was all new to me. New state, new home,

new adventure. I was searching for something famil-

iar and comforting and church had always been this

place for me. On my very first visit to Christ Episcopal

Church, I was greeted with a warm smile and a paper

to help follow the service. It didnʹt take long for me to

feel like I had found what I was looking for, familiar

and comfortable. As a family, we are excited to begin

this next ʺadventureʺ in our lives and look forward to

lending our time and talent to this wonderful faith

community. Matt and Angela Shefveland, Zach and

Maddie

Sunday School Change This Fall we have been running Sunday School from

9:00 am until the exchange of the Peace, roughly an

hour and a half. Except for our youngest who are en-

gaged in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, this is turn-

ing out to be a loooong time to keep attention spans

occupied. So this is a community headʹs up that chil-

dren over age 6 will be in church with their families

starting Advent 1, November 29. To help them feel

more part of that gathered community, Fr. Theo will

offer a weekly ʺChildrenʹs Wordʺ in addition to the

adult sermon.

Econo Food Receipts Update Christ Church has taken on a money project to bene-

fit our Sunday School and Youth program. You can

help by saving your Econo Food grocery receipts.

We need to collect $150,000 in receipts, and when

we reach that amount, $1,000 will be given to the

program.

So far, we have collected $94,363.17, so you can see

we have a way to go to reach our goal of $150,000?

Keep those receipts coming by dropping them in the

box on the buffet in the Parish Hall.
