ourRector’sMessageThere is a religious overtone to observing New Year’s Day; it has to do with giving thanks to God for the past year and anticipating God’s continuing grace in the future. When we pause at the beginning of the year to look backward or forward, we tend to see the bigger picture, and in doing so we can glimpse God’s presence in our lives.

I invite you to lift your eyes to the horizons of past and future, and to look for sightings of God. Just like the whale spouts we observe from Carmel Beach, most frequently in January, our sightings of God might look faint, blurred by the haze, leaving us wondering whether our eyes are playing tricks on us. However, it is precisely in times of uncertainty that we enter more fully into the realm of faith. For as the author of Hebrews reminds us, “faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (11:1).

I also invite us to gaze at the collective horizon of All Saints’ this centennial year. By looking back we can discover God inspiring those who have gone before us. The repeating patterns in our history are striking, and point toward God’s purpose for this parish. For instance, we have been a congregation that starts missions, including St. Matthias (Seaside), St. Dunstan’s (Carmel Valley), Bishop Kip’s School (now All Saints’ Episcopal Day School), Santa Lucia Chapel and Campgrounds (in Big Sur), and Epiphany Lutheran and Episcopal Church (Marina).

So it might come as no surprise to discover a new mission on the horizon of our future. Our newest mission is a Center for Christian Transformation, designed to host Festivals of Christian Spirituality.

Each festival will focus participants on a topic critically relevant to society, and will bring to bear the answers provided by the Gospel. We hope that those who attend will be inspired and equipped to address concrete needs in their local circumstances, most likely in small but spiritually significant ways. We envision that the rich spiritual traditions of the Church that are part of each festival will help people participate in God’s continuous transformation, thereby empowering them to serve as Christ’s agent for transforming the world. Between festivals the center will provide means for participants to stay connected and to receive ongoing support.

This center will have the same focus on education and formation that prompted us to start All Saints’ Day School and to help start York School. In a very real way, All Saints’ Parish has served as a center for Christian growth and service for decades, maybe even from its inception. As we begin our next one hundred years, let us claim this heritage and ask how All Saints’ can more effectively serve as such a center through our five areas of ministry. I believe that God is calling us to become, in ever-more-relevant ways, a center where individuals are transformed by the love of Christ to serve others.

Clearly there are other signature patterns that recurred in our first one hundred years and that we can sight even today. Excellence in liturgy, beauty of music, energetic compassion, attentive care for others, and ministries for youth might come into focus as you gaze with gratitude on the horizon of All Saints’ future.

In Christ, Fr. Rick

theVestry MessageInvestment Plan and Policy

As you have been reading each month, the vestry and foundation board have been working on a comprehensive plan for oversight of the investments for which the vestry is responsible. The foundation board oversees the parish’s Foundation Trust Fund, which is separately incorporated under its own bylaws. For many years the vestry has had responsibility for several designated funds that are beyond the scope of the foundation. A number of parish leaders have worked very hard to develop a policy and comprehensive plan for parish investments, in order to increase the range of endowment options for members and establish better coordination between the vestry and the foundation board.

The two documents will be made available soon, so that all interested members may study them. If you have any questions, you are encouraged to attend the special forum held on Sunday, January 22, at 9:30 a.m. You may also speak to vestry or foundation board members. The parish will be asked to ratify the investment policy at the annual parish meeting on January 29.

Please join the vestry and foundation board in thanking the leaders who worked so assiduously on these documents: Al Alvarez, Ed Childs, Ed Fincke, and Allan Groves.

Nominations for Vestry

The following five people have agreed to stand for election to the vestry: Ed Childs, Bill Mattmiller, Dave McClendon, Anne Powell, and Harrison Shields. We are still receiving nominations. You may volunteer yourself or nominate someone who has agreed to stand for election. Candidates must be members in good standing who have a record of financial giving to the parish and are willing to serve.

Elections will be held on January 29 during the annaul parish meeting. Contact Marcia McCleary, LeAnn Keaton, or the office with any names or questions.

Vestry Forum

Join the two special forums held at the 9:30 a.m. Sunday adult education. On January 15, senior warden, Ed Fincke will lead a conversation on the rector’s pastoral message, which Fr. Rick will give at the conclusion of the January 8 morning services and will also be available in printed form.

On January 22 vestry member, Allan Groves, and new president of the foundation trust fund, Al Alvarez, will lead a discussion on the new investment plan and policy adopted by the vestry, and which will also be available by January 8.

Music At All Saints'

We are proud to welcome Nathanael Pangrazio and Friends on Saturday, January 28th at 8:00 p.m. This is the second concert in the Music At All Saints' series, developed in recognition of the centennial anniversary of the parish. Mr. Pangrazio has worked extensively as a musician in a wide range of capacities. He has classical training as a pianist, conductor, singer, and composer. He has studied with many fine mentors, including Carmel's own Barbara Ruzicka, and also attended the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. Mr. Pangrazio has been a serious composer since the beginning of his musical interests, and has had the honor of being commissioned by many respected music groups such as the Carmel Bach Festival and Hidden Valley Music. His work has caught the attention of many professional choruses because of his particular interest in choral writing. Mr. Pangrazio has directed his efforts in recent years to include many musical styles of the past and present, so that his work can integrate a number of various techniques and appeal to a wide range of audiences. He has turned his attention in recent years to the world of film music, due to his belief that all of the arts culminate within the single medium of films. Based in Los Angeles, Mr. Pangrazio will present a program of original works at All Saints' with the assistance of several musical friends, who will perform his music on instruments such as the piano, violin, cello, and also a chamber choir. Tickets are available through the church office or online at http://goo.gl/Ru9fy. General and premium seating are available.

Acolytes

Join the parish in giving all of our acolytes a great big thank-you for their service. Please speak to Fr. Rick or Robin Denney if you have any questions or suggestions, or would like to help.

All Saints' Organ

Over the last couple of months, All Saints' parishioner Clay Couri has been painstakingly making adjustments to our organ to improve the quality of the sound. Everyone, but particularly Todd and Richard, owe him a debt of thanks for his efforts: THANKS CLAY - AWESOME WORK! Below is a letter from Clay about his recent work here at All Saints':

My love affair with the All Saints' organ dates back to the mid 1990s, when I was the associate organist. Richard Wilson and I had discussed the organ's voicing and decided to recommend that the Allen Organ Company come to the church and revoice the organ, which then also resulted in several of the stops being changed to better suit the size and acoustics of our building. Since I was available, I supervised this work, and got to know the technician well who performed the work. In the course of the revoicing, which is done using the organ computer system, this technician showed me exactly how to alter the stops for general sound volume, relative intensity across the reach of the manuals, and the tonal characteristics of each stop. In a digital organ,

Worship: We glorify Christ by enacting liturgies steeped in beauty,

mystery, and creativity that refresh like

springs of living water.

Dickensian Dinner

On Friday, January 6th, the parish will host the Dickensian Dinner at 6:00 p.m. in Seccombe Hall. Tickets are available only by reservation and the cost is $25 per adult and $10 for children. Entertainment will include the talents of many church members. Do not miss out on this great social event - get your tickets before they sell out!

Book Club

I can’t believe another year of books, good company and lively discussion has passed for the All Saints’ Book Club. We have again reached our annual meeting where we choose our lineup of books for the year.

At the January 10, 2012 meeting, members bring three book selections they believe the Book Club would be interested in reading for the New Year. After a short synopsis of each book, we democratically vote on the 11 selections for coming year.

For those of you who have not had the pleasure to visit the monthly All Saints’ Book club meeting, this might be a good time to attend. There is no pressure to have read any books; just a time to get to know the other members and interject your opinion, if you wish. I’ve been a member of the All Saints’ Book Club for four years now. I love books but thought, “what do I have to contribute?” Well, everyone’s opinion is valued, and I’ve had an opportunity to discover literary genres I would never think to explore. This experience has opened my horizons and will

yours, also.

Come in January and join the fun, while you experience intellectual companionship and a deep, enriching experience.

The All Saints’ Book Club regularly meets in the church library the second Tuesday of each month

at 6:00 p.m. The review leader/presenter brings lettuce for a salad, and the other participants bring something to place in the salad or food to share.

Author Talk & Book Signing

Elizabeth Barratt recently published her book on the history of All Saints’ Parish. On Saturday, January 21, at 2:00 p.m. we will host an Author Talk and Book Signing in Seccombe Hall. Please join us and bring a friend.

Centennial 1892 BCP in Review

The older book of common prayer (BCP) used by the first generation of All Saints’ parishioners contained the same beautiful language as our current Rite I liturgies, but the prayers were longer and much more of the service was spoken by the priest alone. Evidently the ministry of the laity was not a pressing issue one hundred years ago. The service required those worshipping to spend more time on their knees, and we noted a greater emphasis on our sinfulness and God’s consequent wrath, but also the clear message of the saving grace of Jesus Christ. There was less music and no Old Testament lesson or psalm. No one seemed to mind that Fr. Rick did not make the service more authentic by preaching for an hour. Happy anniversary!

Community: We rejoice as a

community that drinks from the chalice

of Christ’s love.

Report on Conversatio Dialog

The Discipleship Commission and Festival discernment team held their second conversatio dialogue in December. They will meet again on January 20 in a process of experience and reflection. They are eager to offer this spiritually-based method of dialogue and spiritual discovery to the parish and beyond, but are striving to be patient as the method emerges.

Youth Ministry

by Robin Denney

I'm very excited to join the team here at All Saints'! I look forward to getting to know the parish and the people better. We have a great team of four volunteer youth leaders who

have wonderful skills and enthusiasm. We are organizing ourselves for the year ahead, and I will be getting in touch with the parents and youth of the parish to get your ideas and input as we plan for events and structure our program.

The youth group (grades 6-12) meets the first and third Sunday of the month for a time of worship, fellowship, and teaching. The meetings this month will be after the 10:30 service on January 8th and 22nd, in the youth room. IF you have any questions, suggestions or would like to help our youth ministry in 2012 please contact me. You may send an email to: [email protected] or call me on my cell phone (805) 835-8538.

Discipleship: We follow Jesus Christ and lead

others into the deep waters of faith.

2012 Pledge Campaign

The Stewardship-Pledge team is very encouraged by the momentum of the 2012 pledge campaign. In 2011 there were other needs that arose including the kitchen and reaching out beyond the parish to support the needy in our community. It is wonderful to be part of a commuinty that chips in with time, talent and treasure to sustain all our opperations, ministries and outreach at All Saints'.

At the time of the December vestry meeting 74 families had pledged $186,316. The $33,800

shortfall from our goal is significant but it is still possible that we may reach the goal as there were another 10 families who indicated they may pledge. Meanwhile, the vestry is considering how we will make up the

difference between out total opperating budget and projected income.

If you have ideas, or perhaps have not pledged, we invite you to speak to the rector or vestry to offer your ideas and assistance.

Stewardship: We offer our all so that

Christ may change water into wine.

each stop or voice has been sampled from a real set of pipes installed in an existing organ using extremely fine recording equipment. The notes thus recorded are then transcribed into a digital format. The sound of each note of one voice is then represented by a series of ones and zeros, and encoded on a "prom." Each of the voices of the All Saints' organ is thus encoded on a separate "prom" in the computer. Each of these voices can be adjusted to work well with our building's acoustics. The organ has 55 separate voices, which represent a 55-rank pipe organ. Ideally voiced, this organ is capable of handling all of the same organ literature as if it contained 55 ranks of acoustic pipes. It's true that computer technology has advanced light-years beyond that which is represented in our organ, of 1989 vintage; however, the capability to make mighty-fine music is really there, with careful voicing.

Fast-forward to 2011. I have retired (12-2010) from my position, held for thirteen years, as Music Director-Organist at Saint John's, where it was a job requirement that I be a church member. I have now been privileged to rejoin All Saints, although, Jim and I spend most of our time at our home in San Francisco. About two months ago, Richard invited me to try the organ and "see what I thought." I was appalled! On going through the organ carefully, stop by stop, it became quickly apparent to me that the voicing of most of the stops had been altered so as to render the organ nearly expressionless, tonally - certainly nothing close to what it had once been able to produce, musically. With the blessing of Fr. Rick, Todd, and Richard, I embarked on

a total-organ revoicing project, the majority of which has been completed just in time for the upcoming Christmas services. I have spent approximately thirty hours adjusting the organ's computer system to restore the proper voicing characteristics to each of the 55 ranks. Much of the work required careful listening - out in the nave - to a number of individual notes of each voice, to be sure the tonal and volume adjustments were compatible with the building's acoustics. My years of association with pipe organs, and lessons I have had regarding tuning and voicing of pipe organs has been invaluable, since the principles and theory of voicing a digital organ are similar. Definitely, the end product of a careful revoicing job should render our organ nearly indistinguishable from a fine pipe organ with a palette of stops. Whilst the majority of the work has been completed, there is still some "fussy", subtle work remaining to bring the very best music from each of the stops, and this work will continue for some weeks. As you listen to the organ this Christmas I hope the glorious music it now produces will be a spiritual support for your personal worship experience. It is a great honor and privilege to have been entrusted with this project, and an even greater honor to be welcomed back to the All Saints' family with such enthusiasm! I'm delighted to be able to make this contribution to All Saints' and to the Greater Glory of God.

Merry Christmas!

Food Bags in Demand

Epiphany, our parochial mission in Marina, CA also has a Food Pantry to meet the needs of the hungry throughout the region. In November they gave out 607 bags of food.

All Saints' 2011 Year Totals are show below. Recent statistics show many of those who come for food bags are from Carmel. Clearly, this is a valuable ministry and we thank you for your ongoing mercy and generosity.

Food for Thought

The Outreach Commission has been reviewing the use of the annual Rummage Sale as our primary mechanism to raise independent funds. After special meetings on the subject, the commission has decided not to hold the rummage sale in 2012, but to replace it with a similar, but more focused, event on the same weekend. We plan to use Best-of-the-Rummage-Sale ideas, emphasizing the successes we have had with the Friday night preview event. Our theme will be “Food for Thought” and we will target our advertising on raising money specifically for food-related activities, so that we may continue the work we do in donating food to the larger community. Though we have not solidified all our plans, we have in mind a small plates (serving significant appetizers and wine) event on Friday night, May 11, that carries a cover charge. The primary focus of our fund-raising efforts that evening will be a major silent auction at which offered items with a minimum value of about $100 (the exact amount has not yet been established, but we want to feature fewer, more valuable items). We will work with Epiphany on the event and expect to create this new centennial year event that will salute the traditions of the past, while looking ahead to the most effective ways in which

we can serve the needs of the parish and the community at large. Ideas for items appropriate for the silent auction include new of lightly used items, gift cards (e.g., for a restaurant or other retail shops in the area), services, and trips. These donations should be directed to the Outreach Commission.

Parishioners who have been collecting goods that were intended for the rummage sale are directed to Epiphany, which holds rummage sales frequently, or to the IOC’s Joining Hands Benefit Shop in Carmel, where proceeds go to area housing causes. More details will be provided on this subject as our subcommittees get working.

In December, the Outreach Commission purchased and sorted food for 100 food boxes for the season, with our Cub Scout troop packing them. We will end the year with about 480 food bags given out in the office. Children’s Christmas gifts were collected, with all going to Epiphany this year. In addition to a large and generous contribution of toys and clothing, we were able to purchase $650 worth of gift cards for Father Jon to distribute. We also continue to provide food to the community through our daily food bags at the office and our monthly I-Help dinners.

Epiphany

Epiphany recently took the lead in Marina’s effort to acknowledge the tragic November fire at a local home for disabled persons, at which five people died. The city has now asked Epiphany to manage the public funds that have come in for that cause. The service that Epiphany hosted for the community was a standing-room only expression of support for those affected.

International Reach

We continue to be part of the Friends of St. Patrick group, consisting of All Saints’ Church and All Saints’ Day School, St. Edwards in San Jose, and St. Jude the Apostle in Cupertino. “Gifts of Life” brochures have been added to the Outreach table by the south door of the church.

Outreach: We serve others with

the compassion of Christ by offering a drink to the thirsty.

Balcony Renovation

We have begun the engineering study to learn what degree of water damage may have occurred to the balcony concrete and rebar over the course of the last fifty years. The Buildings and Grounds Committee wants to undergo the research before they proceed with the chosen proposal that includes: resurfacing the balcony to prevent further water penetration, rebuilding the rail, adding a lower gutter, and replacing the exterior balcony planter with a bench.

After all the reports have been reviewed by the building and grounds committee, the vestry will consider the reports and recommended financing options that will be recommended by the finance committee.

Treasurer's Report

Our 2012 Pledge Drive is ahead of last year and doing well; many thanks to all of you. Whether we finish 2011 in the BLACK will be determined by how well we do closing our pledge gap -- I'm hopeful we can do it.

an inVitation froM the BishopDear Friends,As you have seen advertised in Along the King’s Highway and heard in my convention address, The Reverend Eric Law will be our conference leader for Sharing our Story, on January 14, 2012.

From 9:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Eric will assist us in becoming more aware of our spiritual and ecclesial story, sharing what we have with others, so that it may empower them to discover their faith life with God.This is a wonderful opportunity to discover together the riches of our personal heritage in culture and experience, acquiring some new skills in sharing our faith in Jesus Christ.

When I think of what it is we have to give out of our own story of discovering the transformative power of faith in Jesus, I remember Peter’s story, and the first time he said, “I can give you what

I have” in Acts 3, the story of the healing of the lame man at the Beautiful Gate. What a powerful moment not only for the lame man, but for Peter, who now was so confident in his faith, he could give it away, and through him, God healed this man. Our story has such power, and my prayer for our day with Eric is that we will better learn how ‘to give away what we have.’

I hope you will join me so that we can continue to share the good news of Jesus far and wide. As always, we encourage you to bring teams from your congregations so that you may share the experience together.

May you continue to be blessed with hope and eager anticipation this Advent season, longing for the coming of Christ!

+Mary
