RECTOR'S CORNER

THE EPISTLE 3

May 17 marked the end of a year ofdiscernment as delegates to DiocesanConvention gathered in ChristChurch in New Bern to elect the Rev.Robert Skirving as the VIII Bishop ofthe Diocese of East Carolina. Over thesummer the Bishops and StandingCommittees of all of the Dioceses ofthe Episcopal Church will be asked toconsent to our election. When amajority of consent of Bishops andStanding Committees are received,plans for the ordination/consecrationof our new bishop will be confirmedfor November 8. Please keep Rob andhis wife Sandy in your prayers asthey prepare for the move to NorthCarolina.

This spring has been a full andexciting time in the life of our dioceseand our parish. This Epistle containscopies of our senior sermons andannouncements concerning activitiesin June and July. Vacation BibleSchool will mark the close of a veryfull school year.

Summer provides a change ofpace when many of us will find timefor rest and recreation. Your vestryand staff will be working to finalizeplans for the upcoming year. Ourdiocese will be planning to welcomeour bishop-elect as he begins hisduties on or about September 1. Ipray that the excitement andenthusiasm that marked this springwill build throughout the comingyear.

Worship is at the center of our lifeas a Christian community. We willcontinue our Sunday morning andWednesday night worship schedulethroughout the summer. Breakfast

will be offered on Sunday morningsand we will continue the tradition ofdinner on the town following theWednesday evening service. Pleasenote that a preview of the LafayetteExhibit at the Transportation andLocal History Museum will offer onWednesday evening June 11 betweenthe 5:15 service and dinner on thetown.

In the fall we will provide avariety of programs and activitieswhich provide the opportunity forpeople of all ages to grow closer incommunity. Community is a catchword that is so familiar that we oftenneed a doorway to help us recaptureits meaning and importance.Certainly community is embodied ina worshiping community gathering tocelebrate the Holy Eucharist. TheNative American Starhawk offers thefollowing vision of community thatopens our hearts and imaginations:

“We are all longing to go home tosome place we have never been - aplace half-remembered and half-envisioned we can only catchglimpses of from time to time.Community. Somewhere, there arepeople to whom we can speak withpassion without having the wordscatch in our throats. Somewhere acircle of hands will open to receive us,eyes will light up as we enter, voiceswill celebrate with us whenever wecome into our own power.Community means strength that joinsour strength to do the work thatneeds to be done. Arms to hold uswhen we falter. A circle of healing. Acircle of friends. Someplace where wecan be free.”

4 THE EPISTLE

SERMONSGood morning. My name is Elizabeth Chandler. I wasbaptized here at St. John's in June 1996, soon after I wasborn, and before we moved to Huntsville, Alabama. Wereturned to Fayetteville after my Dad retired from theArmy in 2001, and I have been attending St. John'sregularly since I was 5 years old. I was confirmed herewhen I was in 8th grade. Now I am a Senior at PineForest High School and am counting down the daysuntil graduation. I will be attending Western CarolinaUniversity in the Fall, and I plan to pursue a career as amiddle school math teacher, following in my mom'sfootsteps.

The church has been a big part of my life, and I havea lot of great memories: from being in the nursery withMiss Janette whenever there were evening events toprograms such as FROGS, Sunday School, Rite 13, J2A,and YAC. My best memories, though, would have to befrom the J2A pilgrimage to England. I got to exploreanother country and see a bunch of amazing cathedralsalong the way. One of my favorite memories from thetrip was helping a group of nuns in a soup kitchen. Ofcourse, my small group got separated from everyoneelse along the way.

From the time I was able to participate, I wasinvolved in VBS with wonderful leaders like HamptonMoore and Tyler Sutherland. As I got older, I had theopportunity to be a helper. I did everything fromworking in the nursery to assisting group leaders. I willnever forget a little girl named Gracie, who pretty muchadopted me as her friend because I was able to fix hershoe.

More recently, we’ve had to pick ministries in myYAC group. My first ministry was working with Mrs.Gates in the Sunday School class. It was a goodexperience and gave us a chance to explore differentparts of the church.

As long as I can recall, I have been an acolyte. I canstill remember that first day and the fear that I wouldtrip and fall and burn the church down in the process. Ialso have fond memories of being in the ChristmasPageants and singing in the children's choir.

My faith and the love and support that I have felt bymany will definitely see me through these upcoming

Good morning. My name is Mary Kate Morgan. I havebeen a member of St. John’s since birth. I am so gratefulto be able to attend St. John’s with my grandfather,many of my aunts and uncles, and my cousins, too.

In today's gospel, we heard the story of twodisciples who were saddened over Christ’s death. Thestory takes place on the evening of the day of theResurrection. The disciples were walking fromJerusalem with all hope gone that Jesus would be ableto fulfill the dream of being the world’s mighty prophetand savior. Where would they now find Christ?

When a stranger joins the disciples, they tell him allabout how wonderful Jesus had been. They invite thestranger to their home, and they break bread beforefinally seeing that the stranger is, in fact, the RisenChrist! He is risen!!

But what if the disciples had ignored the stranger?What if, on their journey from Jerusalem, they hadpassed the stranger without even noticing? These daysit is easier to pass by, to keep to ourselves, to escape toTwitter, Instagram, or Facebook. It is much easier to beentertained than it is to look for the Risen Christ.

At St. John’s, my journey has given me so manyopportunities to seek and to find the Risen Christ. As asix month old, I doubt that I was consciously lookingwhen I found my best friend, Sebrell Singleton, righthere in the St. John’s nursery. Through some sad times,countless adventures and hours on the telephone, andour Sunday evening visits, we have helped each othernavigate through almost 19 years.

I’m sure Mr. O’Briant was looking for Christ when Iwas trying to sing in the junior choir, and I probablyshould have been looking for the Risen Christ the manytimes I was overcome with the giggles while acolyting.

SENIORcollege years. My parents never really gave my brotherand me a choice to come to church. It was justsomething that we did every Sunday — if we weren't inAtlanta, of course. I am glad that was their expectationthough. It has helped to mold me into the person that Iam today. Much like the Gospel, I have learned that nomatter what may come, my faith in the Lord will alwayssee me through.

THE EPISTLE 5

For those of you who do not know me, my name is JimMacRae. I'm seventeen years old and a senior at VillageChristian Academy. On May 23, I will be graduatingfrom high school and plan to attend East Carolina thisfall. While at ECU, I want to major in Business and thenpossibly go to law school so I can continue the MacRaetradition as a lawyer in Fayetteville. Today I just want toshare with you all how St. John's has been the buildingblocks for my walk with Christ.

To start out with, I was Baptized and Confirmedhere, and over the years I have made many fondmemories at this church that I will never forget. I canstill remember coming here for preschool and meetingall my teachers and some friends that I still have today.Also, I remember coming here every Wednesday forFROGS. Then when it was summertime, there wasVacation Bible School, which was a big thing for me as akid at St. John's. When I was nine years old, it wasfinally time for me to become an acolyte, and I stillacolyte to this day. One thing about growing up in achurch like St. John's, where it is more like a family, is

But I am also sure that the Risen Christ was presentwhen my mother and I did crafts with the homelessfamilies sheltering here. And the Risen Christ was herein the prayers and laughter and guidance and love frommy guardian angels and youth leaders: the Koonces andthe Barretts.

I know the Risen Christ was with me on our J2Apilgrimage to England when I climbed the 1,200 steps inSt. Paul’s Cathedral — I may have been mutteringabout the Risen Christ on about step 999. And I haveseen the Risen Christ at Trinity Center through the joyon the faces of my campers at Adventures as theydanced and sang without a care in the world.

As I leave St. John’s to continue on another part ofmy journey, where will I see the Risen Christ next?Perhaps in the faces of the strangers that will becomemy classmates, teammates, and friends next year atMeredith College? One never knows… But I will keepmy heart and mind open as I seek and hopefully see, asdid the disciples, the Risen Christ. And I will rememberwhere my journey started: here at St. John’s.

that there were plenty of adults who felt comfortablejumping on me when they caught me cutting up.

Growing up in St. John's I have not only learned tosee Christ through the Church but also through nature.Father Alves and I have shared some grand times out inthe woods together, whether it was deer hunting or justriding around on the farm, and through those time Ihave learned to know him not only as my priest but alsoas a friend.

When I am outdoors, I feel that it is just God and meand every other worry just seems to fade away. Forexample, as a kid I would love when there would be achurch fish fry, because I knew when all the eating wasthrough I would have enough time to slip down toCross Creek and try to catch a few fish. During theseoutings, even though I wasn't actually in the church, Icould still see God through all his creation around me.These may seem like simple things to some people, butto me it is all I need to reassure my walk with Christ.

If I had to describe St. John's in one word, it woulddefinitely be Family. Everyone knows everyone here,and there is always someone there to lend a helpinghand when it is needed. Also, things like the GuardianAngels are ways that I am reminded of the people herewho pray for you. But all in all, I could not ask for abetter church in which to grow up, and I will surelymiss it all as I go to East Carolina University. Eventhough I am leaving now, I definitely plan to return toSt. John's where I know I will be welcomed back withopen arms, and I also hope to see my children grow upin the same loving church as I did.

THE EPISTLE 7

WARDEN'S NOTES

St. John’s has had a number ofgreat programs and offerings inApril and May as we wind downour program year and head intothe summer months. Hopefully,our planning meeting andmomentum from the spring willhelp us get off to a quick startcome September.

In this monthly column, Ihave tried to focus on the positiveand always emphasize what isright at St. John’s, but on thisoccasion I would like to sharewith you a frustration that I haveexperienced this year as SeniorWarden. On numerous occasions,I have been approached by aparishioner who expressed regretat not attending one of our greatprograms, “because I didn’t knowanything about it”, or “it wasnever publicized.”

We have invested lots of timeand resources into developing avery comprehensive communi-cations program. Granted, due tocosts, we no longer mail a weeklybulletin to each parishioner’shome, but we have replaced this“snail mail” with the followingcommunications vehicles:

We publish a weekly TuesdayHeadlines which outlinesactivities, events, news andinformation pertinent and timelyfor that week. There are also linksto follow to receive additionalinformation.We publish a monthly newsletter,The Epistle, with more detailedinformation on coming events andforward looking items. Thisnewsletter is mailed to eachparishioner’s home and posted onthe website along with an archiveof previous issues.We have completed an extensiveoverhaul of our website which hasproved very useful whennewcomers arrive in town lookingfor local churches to call home or away for our deployed and out oftown parishioners can stay intouch.We frequently send out email“blasts” to remind folks of criticalinformation, such as funeralinformation and death notices forparishioners, or the recentdisruption of traffic due to themarathon.We include announcements in theweekly church bulletin that isprinted and distributed everySunday.

And finally, we do still com-municate person to person in theform of weekly announcementsmade during the church serviceon Sunday.

All of the tools above linkback to a Master Calendarmaintained on the website with allevents scheduled months inadvance.

So, imagine my frustration, ifyou will, when a parishioner asksme why we did not publicize anevent that was included in all ofthe communications vehicles! Itreminds me a little of the old storyabout the person sitting on theirroof waiting to be rescued fromthe flood while turning away allthe help that God was sending.

We have developedwonderful sources of communi-cation and information. Make sureto take time to read them eachweek and each month, visit thewebsite and avail yourself of thecommunication resources we havefor you. This will help all of usstay connected as we enter thesummer vacation season when weare not in church on Sunday asoften as we are during the year. Ihope everyone has a wonderfuland safe summer and see you atSt. John’s.
