God, who is the giver of every good gift, you are ever

present in our lives and in the world. You act through

us, your people, to care for and provide for

everyone. We pray for the courage to break out of

our insecurity and fear around money as we deepen

our understanding of our relationship to you and how

we use our financial resources to do your work in the

world. We pray these things that we might know you

better, that you will increase our desire and ability to

give and help others through ministry and friendship

and to gratefully commit ourselves to the work you

have given us to do. Amen. Borrowed from Trinity

Holy Eucharist

with Prayers for Healing

12:05 p.m. in the Chapel

Wednesdays

October 2, 9, 16, 23, 30

There are two true-life parables from my past which pop up in my consciousness from time to time, usually

when I hear someone continuing to complain about something which they could actually do something

about, or when I find myself in the same place.

The first is the parable of the dishwasher. My friend Marsha had a dishwasher inconveniently situated right

around the corner from a drawer with a protruding handle. It was impossible to open or close the dishwasher

without fiddling with the drawer. It would have been a matter of moments to remove the handle, but she

lived with the problem for years, despite my laughing at her every time I visited. She finally got around to

fixing it and couldn’t wait to tell me.

The second is the parable of the shoes. The dress code rules were simple in my Savannah, GA, catering

business. White tops, black bottoms, comfortable shoes to prevent complaining about hurting feet. One

night my assistant Brenda and I were coming back from catering out on the Isle of Hope. Brenda had been

complaining about her shoes all night. Actually, she had been complaining about them for weeks. All of a

sudden, as we drove through the dark marshes, Brenda rolled down the window, snatched her shoes off her

feet, and threw them out the window. “I’ll never wear those shoes again!” she cried triumphantly. We

laughed all the way home.

Jesus sent his disciples out to witness with these words: “If a village doesn’t welcome you or listen to you,

shake off the dust of that place from your feet as you leave.” In other words, don’t sit there complaining

that no one will listen to you or help you; take the initiative. Leave behind people and things that are hurting

you and holding you back. Move on to a place where you are welcome and where you can prosper.

In this life, we do far too much accepting, and not nearly enough changing. The Serenity Prayer addresses

this predicament: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the

things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” Yes, the prayer is about big issues, but developing

the courage to change starts with baby steps. If you can’t bring yourself to throw away shoes that hurt

your feet, how can you terminate a destructive relationship? If you can’t summon up the energy to change

the handle on a drawer, how will you ever be able to leave an unsatisfying job?

We tend to get stuck in the routine, which is not all bad. If we had to reinvent our lives every day, we’d

never get anywhere. But every once in a while, it’s good to take inventory, to look around and see what

needs to be changed.

It helps to start with the easy stuff. Walk through your house and take note of all the places where you

make do. Go through your closets. Clean out the clutter. Fix things that are broken. Then move on to the

hard stuff—work, relationships, finances, your heart. Ask God to show you how to change—both attitudes

and actions. We tend to accept a lot more in life, I think, than God expects us to. The same God whose son

appeared in human form, humbled himself by death on a cross, and was raised to the heights of heaven, all

for our salvation, does not strike me as the kind of God who expects us to settle for pinching shoes and

stuck drawers, or pinched and stuck lives.

RECTOR SEARCH PROCESS TIMELINE

PARISH MINISTRIES

UPDATE FROM THE

SEARCH COMMITTEE

By now you’re familiar with the Rector Search

Process Timeline. The Search Committee will

soon check off the next circle and make a

recommendation to the Vestry. This will be

followed by the Vestry inviting the rector

candidate to Tupelo for meetings and

interviews, after which the Vestry will vote on

extending a call. This is very exciting news!

Please continue to keep the work of the

Search Committee and Vestry in your prayers:

Good and gracious God, we come before you

in a time of transition as we seek a new rector

for All Saints’ and Christ the King. Send your

blessings upon our Search Committee as they

work to find a pastor, priest, and teacher who

will boldly proclaim the gospel, faithfully

administer the sacraments, and steadfastly

serve this parish with love and compassion.

Help us to navigate this process with a spirit

of hope, trusting that you are ever supporting

and guiding us. All this we ask through Jesus

Christ our Lord. Amen.

Beer & Brats &

Time & Talent

While you're enjoying the Oktoberfest Beer

& Brats event hosted by Christ the King on

October 9, be sure to visit the displays that

will be set up around the parish hall that

evening to highlight the many ways to get

involved in all kinds of activities, programs

and ministries offered by All Saints' and

Christ the King. Stewardship of money –

and our generosity with it – is a big part of

what enables the church's day-to-day

operations. But stewardship of time and

talent – and our generosity with each of

those – is what translates financial

commitment into action and outreach.

Not only do All Saints' and Christ the King

offer numerous opportunities for fruitful

investment of parishioners' time and talent,

but the mission of the church depends on

it. Just as broad and increased participation

in financial giving is essential to the next

chapter in the life of the parish, so is broad

and increased participation in programs

and ministries a key to, as our wardens

have noted, turning the corner.

Now is the time for renewal of participation

and for self-reflection on the ways in which

we can each increase our involvement and

offer the gifts we have to further the

mission of the church. Come and see the

possibilities on October 9. It will be an

evening of fun, fellowship, and

opportunity.

The 2019/2020 Tupelo High School Madrigals will be presenting their Fall Church program prior to the 10:45 service on Sunday November 17 - mark your calendars now for this special treat! Feel free to contact Madrigal members Leigh Michael Cannon, Ginny Gray or Trevor Hart to discover other ways/times you can support the Madrigals.

We look forward to welcoming Archbishop Morgan

as our guest preacher on Sunday, October 6.

AUGUST ACTIVITIES

On August 1, I was notified that Saints' Brew was awarded an Emergency Food

and Shelter Grant of $3,800 (an increase of $500 from last year's grant).

Coffee and Conversation was on Tuesday, August 6 and we had 15 attendees.

Other meetings during August: City of Tupelo Homeless Outreach Team and City

of Tupelo Homeless Task Force Meeting.

All Saints’ Episcopal, St. Luke Methodist Church, The Orchard, Cooking as a First

Language, and numerous All Saints' and community volunteers held 3 community

dinners during the summer. Our third meal was Tuesday, August 27 and we

served over 95 guests a nutritious, affordable, and accessible meal that they could

recreate at home if possible.

We have been very blessed over the last few months to receive monthly food

donations from our food insecurity partners. Food donations from a brunch held

at All Saints' included fruit and items we were able to serve at lunch. The Link

Centre donated food from an event. St. Luke Food Pantry has been donating

cereal on a very regular basis and gave us a large quantity in August. FAITH Food

Pantry is also very generous with their regular fruit donation.

Shepherd’s Center is a group of adults dedicated

to offering transportation, minor home repairs,

and social gatherings to senior adults. The

meetings, open to all, begin with refreshments

at 9:00 a.m., followed by the program. All Saints’

A Message from the

Rev. H. Julian Gordy, bishop, retired

Dear Friends of the Southeastern Synod,

After a dozen years serving in the Office of Bishop of the

Southeastern Synod, some thanks are in order. While the

work has not always been happy work, it has almost

always been meaningful work and has never been dull.

Thank you, Southeastern Synod friends, for allowing me

to serve the church in this rewarding way. You have given me far more

credit than I have deserved, especially since I was blessed to do this

work with such a competent, faithful, and hard-working staff, all of

whom were aware that we did this work together and not for ourselves.

As I leave office, I leave grateful for the trust, the prayers, the kind

words, and the many ways you have shown your support for me and

your love for this church and this synod. This has been a challenging,

daunting, and exhausting call. But it has also been an inspiring and very

blessed call. I am humbled and grateful to have served as your bishop.

I have no doubt that I leave the synod in extraordinarily capable hands.

Bishop Kevin Strickland is a faithful disciple of Jesus who loves the

church and will serve it well. He has chosen an excellent staff who are

likewise faithful and committed to the work of the gospel. I look forward

to seeing where our bishop and his staff will lead us as we move into

this new day for our synod.

So, thank you, dear friends. And "may the God of peace, who

brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the

sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, make you complete in

everything good so that you may do God's will, working among us that

which is pleasing in God's sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the

glory forever and ever. Amen"

In Christ's hope and peace,

CHRIST THE KING

And don’t forget to wear red!

Red, which represents the Holy Spirit, is

the liturgical color of the day. Luther

believed that the Reformation was a

direct result of the Holy Spirit moving

him and other reformers to action.

Today, Reformation Sunday is a

celebration of the Holy Spirit continuing

to work in our lives, moving us toward

God’s grace and mercy.

This year the 3rd Annual Workshop will identify and explore the effects of microaggression and white supremacy as practices and beliefs that prevent the full expression of the Beloved Community in our congregations. For more information or to register please contact us at coh@bellsouth.net or lutherancenteratlanta700@gmail.com or text us at 404-596-1836.

say they’re frequently entertaining as well). With

listener and everything in between, there is a place

for everyone seeking to hear what the Spirit is saying

to the Church. All are welcome, especially visitors

The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis

is a classic masterpiece of religious

satire that entertains readers with its

sly and ironic portrayal of human life

and foibles from the vantage point of

Screwtape, a highly placed assistant

to "Our Father Below." C.S. Lewis’s

The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account

of temptation—and triumph over it—ever written.

For those planning to attend the book study, we

have a limited number of copies of the book
