We tend to think of Easter as a single day, and it is—it’s the day we celebrate Christ’s resurrection. But as mentioned above, Easter is also a church season, so we’ll be recognizing it for the entire month of May and right through the Day of Pentecost on June 8.

It is said that our Christian faith includes mysteries—things that cannot be logically explained, but which must be accepted on faith. Some of these mysteries are the incarnation of God as Christ and the Holy Trinity. Perhaps the most important mystery of all is the bodily resurrection of Christ. This is the founda-tional assertion of Christianity. That the resurrection gets a season fifty days long is perhaps an indication of its prime importance in our tradition.

The resurrection isn’t just academic theology—it’s also, and much more importantly, about the Christian life. Our willingness to step into the world as witnesses to Christ—witnesses through both our words and our deeds—is fueled by our conviction that our doing so will make a difference, both now and in the age to come. That conviction arises from our Christian hope in the resurrection, which says that all things not only can be made new, but that they are in fact being made new. What we see in front of us isn’t all there is or all there ever will be. This, too, is a mystery.

French philosopher and mystic Simone Weil wrote this: “The mysteries of faith are degraded if they are made into an object of affirmation and negation, when in reality they should be an object of contempla-tion.” If Lent is our appointed season for discipline, then perhaps Easter is an appropriate season for con-templation—contemplation of the great mysteries of our faith, starting with the mystery of the resurrection.

The online Merriam-Webster dictionary includes this definition of “spring fever”: a lazy or restless feel-ing often associated with the onset of spring. Lazy and restless would seem to be in opposition, though maybe not for us: in the Christian tradition, contemplation is often linked with action. During these great fifty days, if we embrace our version of spring fever, perhaps our lazy contemplation of the holy mysteries of our faith will lead us to the restlessness of discipleship.

Easter: The English word used for the feast of Christ’s resurrection. According to Bede, the word derives from the Anglo-Saxon spring goddess Eostre. Christians in England applied the word to the principal festival of the church year, both day and season:

1. Easter Day: Faith in Jesus’ resurrection on the Sunday or third day following his crucifixion is at the heart of Christian belief. In western Christianity, Easter occurs on the first Sunday after the full moon on or after the vernal equinox (and always falls between March 22 and April 25 inclusive). Following Jewish custom, the feast begins at sunset on Easter Eve with the Great Vigil of Easter.

2. Great Fifty Days: The feast of Easter, from Easter Eve through the Day of Pentecost. The word “alleluia” (“praise the Lord”) is said or sung repeatedly, which contrasts sharply with the season of Lent when the alleluia is omitted. The color of liturgical vestments and hangings is white or gold. It is customary for the Paschal candle to burn at all services of the Easter season.

Note: Paschal is related to Pasch, the more common term for Easter, which is derived from the Latin and Greek Pascha, which transliterated the Hebrew pesach, “Passover.”

Worship Commission

Bishop Curry will be here at St. James’ for our official Bishop’s Visitation on Sunday, May 18. Each congregation in the Diocese is visited by a bishop once every two years. Our three bishops take turns coming, and this cycle it’s Bishop Curry’s turn to visit. Following is the schedule of events for that day.

Worship (8 a.m. and 10:15 a.m.)Worship will be held as usual at 8 a.m. (Rite I) and 10:15 a.m. (Rite II).Bishop Curry will preach and preside at both services.

Forum: “God’s Mission” (9 a.m.)Bishop Curry will lead an all-parish forum at 9 a.m. in the Parish Hall. He will discuss how he sees his ministry as a bishop, as well as the ministries of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion, as serving God’s Mission.

All are invited! Refreshments will be provided!

Vestry Luncheon (approximately 11:45 a.m.)After the 10:15 service (at approximately 11:45 a.m.),the Vestry will meet with Bishop Curry for lunch and conversation.

• Portions of our 1979 Book of Common Prayer (most particularly the rites for Holy Communion) have been translated into French, Spanish, Vietnamese, Hmong, Ilocano, Hawaiian, Lakota, and Cherokee. It’s even been translated into Latin!

• Since the founding of The Episcopal Church after the Revolutionary War, there have been only four ap-proved versions of the Book of Common Prayer (1789, 1892, 1928, and 1979).

• You can find the Book of Common Prayer (the current and the three previous versions, and the various translations) online at www.justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/bcp.htm.

• Besides the portions used for Sunday worship, the Book of Common Prayer is filled with prayers for vari-ous occasions, our Episcopal Church translation of the psalter, a “Catechism” that broadly and concisely outlines the essentials of Episcopal belief, and much, much more. If you haven’t, check it out!

Joyful Noise! ChoirJoyful Noise! sings Sunday, May 4. YOUR partic-ipation is welcome as we present easy opportuni-ties for you to sing as well as more contemporary musical selections.

Join us that day to sing the song, Because He Lives, by Gaither. Come to the church at 9:45 to learn the music. All ages are welcome, and no choir experience is needed. If you are able, listen to the song on YouTube.com: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJqMmbujuvg.

If you have any questions, please speak to our Minister of Music, Jim Barry.

During July and August we want to include your suggested hymns. There are more opportunities to sing (the choir is on vacation) during the sum-mer, and we sing more familiar music during this time.

How do you request your hymn(s)?:• Look through our pew hymnals (blue: The

Hymnal 1982; multi-colored: Lift Every Voice and Sing II); ask for copies of Wonder, Love, and Praise or Voices Found; or find hymns in other sources.

• Pick out some of your favorites.• Send an e-mail to our Minister of Music: Jim

Barry [musdir@sbcglobal.net], or drop a note in his church mailbox. Here’s what we’ll need to know:

-Hymnal and Hymn # -Let us know dates of at least 2-3 summer Sundays you will be attending the 9 a.m. service.We will try to honor all requests. As we have never done this before, please be patient with us. Keep in mind, obscure songs will be harder to find and put together.

Summer Hymn RequestsDo you have a favorite song/hymn?

Psalms in LiturgyThe Book of Psalms (Hebrew: םילהת or םיליהת; Tehillim; lit. "Praises") is one of the most famil-iar books of the Old Testament. Each Sunday we recite a portion of the Psalter based on our 3-year lectionary.

In brief:There are 150 PsalmsPsalms fall into five general categories: hymns (songs of praise), communal laments, royal psalms, individual laments, and individual thanksgiving psalms.The composition of Psalms spanned around five centuries (earliest: Psalm 29).Psalms were used in worship and generally sung; the early Christian church adopted the use of psalms regularly in their worship.Most familiar: Psalm 23 (The Lord is my shep-herd…); shortest: Psalm 117; longest: Psalm 119.

Psalms were sung in Hebrew worship, although we do not have records of the music they used. Throughout the centuries the Psalms have provided a rich source of texts for composers, from early plainchant sung by monks to modern choral/vocal compositions such as Godspell (On the Willows, based on Psalm 137), Chich-ester Psalms by Leonard Bernstein, and Psalm 23 by Bobby McFarrin.

Following the Protestant Reformation, versified translations of many of the Psalms were set as hymns to be sung by the congregation. In our hymnal (blue; The Hymnal 1982) you can find

During the summer watch for the * after the hymn that will indicate this selection was re-quested as part of our Summer Hymn Request.

Due to summer staff vacations: please have your requests in by June 1.

examples at #302 (in the Calvinist tradition from the 16th century); #687 A mighty fortress (words and tune by Martin Luther, based on Psalm 46); and #380 Praise God from whom all blessings flow (Psalm 117); and #680 O God, our help in ages past (both versified by Isaac Watts). Look below the hymns, and you will find information about their source, both words and music, with many lyrics derived from the Psalms.

At St. James’ we use the Psalms in many ways. We read a portion of the Psalm appointed for that day during our Sunday worship, between the Old Testament and New Testament lessons. We sing hymns based on Psalms (such as #380 – our Doxology). Choir anthems often have Psalms as texts (such as Hide not thou thy face, sung on Ash Wednesday, and Lead me, Lord, sung during Lent).

During May we will sing the Psalm on two occa-sions: May 11 and 18. This will give us an op-portunity to look back to the ancient practice of singing Psalms, and look forward to worshipping in a different way. The tune we will use is a style called Simplified Anglican Chant (SAC). Each line of the Psalm is sung to one note until you reach a word in bold, when you move to the next note. All very simple once you get the hang of it. SAC has been used in churches throughout the diocese for decades with great success.

From community hymn singing (#432, O Praise Ye the Lord, Psalm 150); weekly recitation (Sunday services); funerals (Psalm 23); and choir anthems (Vaughan Williams’ O How Amiable; Psalms 84 and 90); the Psalms are a vital part of the worship here at St. James’.

Sing to the Lord a new song* for he has done marvelous things. (Psalm 98:1) Jim Barry, Minister of Music

VestryEastertide greetings from the VestryBlessings to you as we enjoy the warm weather of Spring, the longer days, and the blessing of our Risen Lord and the return of the Alleluias! We are blessed!Here are four areas that we focused on in our April vestry Meeting:

1. Ministry – we discussed the overwhelming success of Art in the Abbey. (See the full report on page 12). So many members of our par-ish came together and worked to engage our outside community. We opened our doors and sanctuary to the community of artists and musi-cians and drew in the people from the region that had never been to St. James’. In the vestry meeting we talked about ways to engage our parish family to do ministries in small ways that could involve more people in all of the com-missions – outreach, fellowship, pastoral care, communication, administration, worship, Chris-tian education, stewardship, and facilities. You will hear more about this in upcoming months.

2. Bishop’s visit – we reviewed the plans for Bishop Curry’s visit on May 18. This is an op-portunity that only comes around once every 18 months, as the three bishops alternate Sundays to visit the 170 parishes in Connecticut. This will be a special day and an opportunity for all of us to hear what is going on in the diocese and in the national church, and to provide a broader look at the world. See page 4 for the details. Plan to spend time with Bishop Jim Curry, who has just announced his retirement which will begin in October. Go to CTdiocese.org for more information on his retirement.

3. Parochial Report – this document, known as the “2013 Report of Episcopal Congregations and Missions” is a report that gives factual information about our membership, our aver-age Sunday attendance records, the number of baptisms, weddings, and funerals, and our financial information. This information is used in several ways. The attendance and member-ship numbers are rolled up into a diocesan and

continued

national level to show trends. The financial in-formation is used to determine our share which goes to our CT diocese to fund their expenses and outreach. To offer a few highlights, our average Sunday attendance in 2013 was 119 slightly down from 2012’s number of 135. Keep in mind that in 2012 we had an additional service at 5pm on Sunday evenings. In 2013, our pledging units were higher at 140, while in 2012, the number had been 134. In 2013 our pledging income was $302,000, while in 2012, it had been $344,000. If you would like to see the entire report, contact me and I’m glad to share it with you.

4. Transition – In May, the work of the transition

will shift from the Discernment Committee to the Recruitment Committee. The Discernment Committee will finish its work on the Parish Profile and will schedule a time to review it with the parish. We are waiting for a date from Bishop Douglas to come and review our find-ings with us. The Recruitment Committee will begin its work as soon as that has happened. And, we will schedule a parish-wide meeting to review the profile with the entire community. Stay tuned for that date and more information.

In our monthly feedback time, we noted the varied and meaningful services of Holy Week and Easter, and all of the work that goes into those services by the staff, the worship team, the choirs, and Keri+, Walter+, and Jim Barry. And, Matt Cornish for the Easter Egg Hunt, and the return of the Alleluias! Thank you to all who made it such a meaningful season.

Feedback is very important to the vestry. It helps us to lead, addressing the challenges and building on the opportunities. If you have a question or an idea, or a comment, please connect with me and any of the vestry. There is no piece of feedback that is too big or too small. We are here to listen, to lead, and to do the work God has given us to do – joyfully!

Peace and blessings to you,Gail Lebert, Senior Warden GAILSL617@aol.com, 860-202-7674

Hunger is a problem locally as well as all around the world. Here at St. James’ we have made it one of our priorities to help eliminate hunger. Our efforts include sending money to Haiti to fund a canteen program at our sponsored school in Port-au-Prince, volunteering at Church Street Eats, cooking meals for those in need, funding before-school programs locally, and our bread ministry with Panera Bread.

With the tough economic times comes much greater demand on our food pantries and an ever-increasing number of children are going hungry. During the month of May, St. James’ kids are going to help other local kids by gathering kid- friendly non-perishable food items for donation to the Place of Grace food pantry in Hartford. The Outreach Committee would like to invite the entire parish to help with this effort.

While all donations of non-perishable food items are welcome, we have targeted certain kid-friend-ly food items to be donated each week.

May 4 – Peanut Butter and JellyMay 11 – Macaroni & Cheese/SoupMay 18 – Spaghetti and SauceMay 25 – Cereal, Crackers

**Any donation of non-perishable food will be received thankfully.

With Glastonbury artist

Ed Hicks

Ed Hicks has been a familiar name in the art community for several decades. He paints open-ended landscapes and strives to give a painting just enough information to evoke a sense of place, but allow the viewer to fill in the specifics. Wyeth and the early Impressionists strongly influence his work as he attempts to capture the romance of New England with his brush. He prefers oils because their buttery consistency allows him to really work with color and texture to make a painting move, make it snap, give it that power he is after in every painting. He wants the viewer to feel something special; He wants them to say, “Wow”!

The Second Annual Art in the Abbey event was a tremendous success this year in so many ways! The entire parish was engaged in the effort; positive relationships were de-veloped with the community, businesses, and our local artists; fellowship was enjoyed by all; and we were financially very successful. With the majority of our income and expens-es accounted for, we have raised almost $12,000 for the St. James' outreach programs. St. James' deserves a huge pat on the back!

I am very grateful to the fantastic core team of volunteers that helped make our success possible. These people are my "A+" team and I hope you will join me in acknowledging their TREMENDOUS dedication and effort! This event would not have been possible without them!

Janice Davis: managed all our marketing and printed materials which included the spec-tacular welcome advertising booklet (and all the fun facts included and the entire book layout), writing and coordinating our press releases and newspaper advertising, radio advertising, various email blasts and network articles, coordinating final printing, etc.

Molly Donovan: was responsible for ALL of the delicious appetizers, desserts, and non-alcoholic drinks. I'm sure you will agree that the professional quality of our food, and the beautiful presentation of it all complemented the entire event perfectly.

Lisa Gleason: was the basket queen! She helped develop the basket concepts, prepared tree tags and signage, organized and prepared all the baskets for sale or auction (I think there were almost 60 of them), and followed up with every basket sale to ensure each one found it's correct home.

Jill & Nick Monsarrat: these two were willing to do anything and everything sked of them! Their contributions ranged from making birdhouses, selling tickets, making and installing signage, running general errands and driving to the printer, hanging rope and wire in the sanctuary, ironing tablecloths, hanging posters, balloons, talking to other churches, coor-dinating high school servers, setup and clean up of everything, and giving the biggestmost supportive smiles and hugs!

Sarah Shannon: was my right hand woman for the entire planning and implementation of the event. She visited every artist with me, coordinated the wine tasting with Sonoma wines, helped arrange our jewelry selection with Sterling Jewelers, created the slide show for the foyer tv, managed facebook advertising, photographed art, and worked closely with Janice on the advertising booklet. Sarah helped set up the entire church display, worked throughout the event, and continued to do whatever was necessary after we closed on Saturday. In addition, she helped work through solutions to every bump in the road we hit.

I can’t begin to mention everyone who contributed to the success of this complex event – from set up to clean up, from generous contributions to posting flyers and beyond. To you all, my sincere and heartfelt thank you!

In an emergency or crisis, please call the church office, 860-633-8333. Press 9 at the end of the message.

Please let us know when you or a family member is sick, in need of prayer or a pastoral visit. We want to serve you and need your help in knowing when this is necessary. Hospital stays are often very short, so the sooner you call us, the better the chance of our visiting you before you are discharged.
