SAINT PETER’S KEYS Newsletter of Saint Peter’s Episcopal Church, Lewes, Delaware

March 2018 Volume 14, Issue 3

Dear People of Saint Peter’s,

For many years, Saint Peter’s has served as a local host for Trinity Institute, an annual spirituality conference that is a ministry of Trinity Church on Wall Street in New York City, and this year was no exception. The theme for this year was Values in Action and it was fantastic.

One of the things that emerged during the presentations was that Trinity parish has been in a process of discernment over the last year, challenging all of their members to articulate the shared values of the parish. After many meetings and extended conversation they have come up with six: faith, integrity, inclusiveness, compassion, social justice and stewardship. They have connected these values to key Biblical texts.

What strikes me most about these values, is that I think they match up with the Baptismal Covenant from the Book of Common Prayer. Because of this, even though we have not had meetings and conversations like Trinity Church, I think they would be true for us as well. Over the next few months, I plan to use this column as a place to expand upon these values and how we live them out at Saint Peter’s.

In Matthew’s Gospel (17:20), Jesus says to the disciples, “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard

seed, you will say to his mountain, ‘Move from here to there.’ And it will move, and nothing will be impossible to you.” In our time, this saying has perhaps lost some of its steam. One only needs to drive through what were the rolling hills of West Virginia in coal country to see the acts we have done in leveling and moving mountains. Yet, I think Jesus was trying to point to something more comprehensive and well beyond a mere literal understanding of his words.

Faith is commonly understood as noun, but it can also be seen as a verb; an activity we engage in and strive to practice in our daily lives. We faith when we pray or use meditation. We faith in our worship. We faith when we study Scripture. We faith when we give of ourselves in service to others and of God’s Creation. When we faith, amazing things can happen and we can penetrate and move the most

challenging of all “mountains”, that is the human heart.

Human beings are curious. We do not always use all of our faculties to their best end. Sometimes, we choose to deny what is right before our eyes, and we can delude ourselves into numerous ways of distorting reality. Consider if you will those who do not believe in the moon landing, the advantages of vaccinations or even the evil that we know as the Holocaust. The reasons for such delusions are myriad, but the result is clear; the human heart can be near impenetrable, unmovable. And yet, through faith, in faith, active faith and love, we persist. We do not give up on each other and sometimes our persistence pays off, we build relationships, bring change, new understanding and growth. We can faith, that is believe in God and his teachings about the value of each other, and move the mountains that stand between us.

In the Baptismal Covenant, after we move through the Apostle’s Creed, we promise, with God’s help, “to continue in the Apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of the bread and in the prayers”. This is how we make faith a verb; by actively doing things like fellowship, Eucharist and praying. Indeed, faith is empty if it is not

Youth Group Meeting (Sunday, March 11 at Noon). When we met in February, it was decided to forego the trip to the indoor water park and go camping instead. That said, we are now making plans to go camping on Saturday, April 28 (returning on Sunday, April 29) at Trap Pond. All youth grades 6 and up are invited to join us! Bring a friend.

We also had a fun trip shopping at the local Acme Market. The team was charged with buying food for a week for a family of three and had only $40 to spend. They did a great job working together and came in almost $2 under their goal. They focused on nutrition, servings, variety, and cost. So very proud of them!

Please contact Lorri in the office if you have any questions!

We are in need of volunteers for our Church School Program on Sundays. We’ve lost some people due to them taking on other responsibilities and now with the loss of Tom Sturgis, help is needed more than ever! Please prayerfully consider volunteering an hour

of your time on a Sunday morning. The children are a blessing and our future, help be a part of their lives. No experience necessary.

March 2018 Saint Peter’s Keys—Page 5

Lewes Chamber Players: Trio Casals

Sunday, March 4 at 2 p.m. Trio Casals returns with the amazing Dumky Trio by Dvořák and Peter Deutsch’s trio inspired by the ocean. Don’t miss the world premiere of our first-ever commission: Michael Kurek’s Joie de vivre for violin, cello, piano, organ, and harpsichord. This concert has been generously underwritten by Mr. Thomas Crowley.

THANK YOU to all who have thus far supported the fundraising for the choir's Ely Cathedral residency. It is an honor for us to represent you and the state of Delaware in England in August.

Our own T.J. Thomas has been invited to play a lunchtime organ recital on Thursday, March 8 at 12:00 at Avenue United Methodist Church in Milford. All are invited for the recital followed by soup lunch-eon.

“Labyrinth” Print to be Raffled In March, we are selling tickets for the raffle of a woodcut print done by our own Fr. Mark Harris. The print itself is 9" x 13" and is matted and framed to a size of 16" x 20". The print is entitled "Labyrinth". Tickets are available after both coffee hours on Sunday also at the parish office weekdays during regular office hours. Cost of a ticket is $10 with a maximum of 200 tickets being sold. The winner will be drawn on Sunday, March 25, at noon. (Winner need not be present to win.) A huge thank-you to Fr. Mark for his donation of this print!

Our last fundraising event is on Friday night, May 18. It will be a Silent Auction in the Parish Hall. We already have some wonderful items donated as prizes, but we would welcome more. If you have any connections to businesses or individuals who might be willing to donate something for that evening, please contact Pat Casadei (our fundraising chairperson) at 302-947-9460 or NJ2DEL@verizon.net (A few suggestions are: gift cards for meals or some sort of service, gift baskets, a specific item that is sold by a business, overnight stays at a hotel or guest house)

Dine at Michy’s Postponed

We regret the postponing of “Dine at Michy’s in Support of the Ely Trip” on February 20. Please watch parish communications for a rescheduled date.

The members of our St. Peter’s family often find ways to reach out to a person in our Parish when we become aware of their need for support through a life challenge. But individually we cannot know everyone who is facing a challenge (particularly those that are confidential), we cannot know if the person will welcome our assistance, and cannot always know if we will have the skills to be truly helpful in the particular situation. Similarly, if you were facing a life challenge and would welcome some skilled and confidential support from a member of our parish family, how would you identify a person who is skilled, matched to your specific situation, can maintain confidentiality, and is committed to be with you on a regular basis. Stephen Ministry provides the structure that allows this kind of supportive relationship to happen in a safe and effective manner at St Peters and at thousands of other churches nationwide.

Since Stephen Ministry was instituted at St. Peter’s six years ago, many people have used this service for periods of a few weeks to over two years. We currently have 18 trained Stephen Ministers and Stephen Ministry Leaders who are actively engaged in serving members of

our Parish Family. We are the largest program of this type in our area. Because of the success of the program we could really use more trained Stephen Ministers.

If you think you may be interested in this kind of Christian service, please take the time to learn more. On March 11, we will be recognizing our

Stephen Ministers and Leaders who have served at least two years. We will also be welcoming your questions after the services. Of course, you can always just talk to any Stephen Minister or Leader about this program. We plan to begin our weekly training sessions for a new class of Stephen Ministers this Fall. At the completion of training you will be confident of your ability to serve and will do so with the ongoing support of our clergy and of your peers in the program. Those who have completed this training have uniformly found it to be a valuable, life enhancing experience. We are eager to welcome you to this ministry.

Stephen Ministry — Will You Help Me? I’m Hurting

Stewardship is… Everything I do after I say, “I believe.”

God calls us to share in God’s mission of caring for the world, using all the gifts given us, to make God’s compassion more fully known. All that we are and everything we have is a gift from God, and God asks us to use it all for the good of God’s Creation. Generosity flows naturally out of our gratitude for the gift of love, family, home, food and life itself.

Church teachings emphasize that we are stewards of the good news of the Gospel, God’s love manifested for us through Christ. We are called to share and manifest that good news of Christ with each new generation and wherever we go in the time we have been given. But we live in a frenetic world bombarded by distractions and illusion, making the possibilities for sharing that news more challenging. It is each person’s intentional decision to recognize that we are called to respond and reflect God’s love by our giving ourselves in service and sharing our own individual resources; that is our time, talent and treasure.

Stewardship is more than money.

Our worries about stewardship tend to focus on money. But, stewardship is really all about mission. St. Peter’s Church is trying to do God’s

mission to truly transform our lives and our community. Each of us is an integral part of the church’s mission, whether it is through knitting a prayer shawl, feeding the hungry, visiting a sick member of the congregation, helping the art show to raise funds for those in need or serving at the altar. These and all of our other ministries that we undertake with our whole heart, mind and body, can be seen as

“stewardship” in the fullness of the definition. The money to do the mission will follow if we do the first part of the job with integrity and honesty.

So what is Stewardship? Stewardship is… Everything I do with my Time, Talent, and Treasure after I say, “I believe.”

actively practiced and lived out daily, from moment to moment.

So it is in our community, for we do gather and pray and our worship can be transcendent and glorious. But our faith does not stop there; it impels us to do many wonderful things like volunteering at the Lewes Village or Community Resource Center, visiting friends who are sick or writing to one we have not heard from in some time. We act in faith when we feed the hungry like with Feed the Children Heart and Soul or work at the Cape Henlopen food basket. We faith in building relationships with other communities like Seaside

Jewish Community, St. Paul’s in San Miguel or with our friends in Haiti. Active fellowship, Communion, prayers and service are all the hallmarks of faith that is alive. Make no mistake, the Holy Spirit is indeed active here in our community in Lewes and we do value faith as more than an abstraction—we know faith is a verb! And, we have moved mountains, with compassion and the ministry of reconciliation.

Next month, I will write about the value of integrity. In the meantime, please keep me in your prayers and know that you are daily in mine.

Financial Advisory Committee St. Peter’s investment portfolio was reviewed by the committee and with the LPL Advisor. Appropriate changes in the portfolio are made as necessary and reinvested into more robust investments.

Senior Warden’s Report

Sue and Tracy have had requests from parishioners for rides to services. They have developed a plan.

Junior Warden’s Report

“Open Door” Project…Our facility master plan for current and future mission and ministries

Changes have been made to the Master Plan to reduce the size of the proposed Parish Hall building addition and moved any proposed building additions back from Second Street. These changes will preserve the welcoming green space as you enter St Peter’s Square. Building changes will incorporate an elevator in the parish hall and a bathroom facility to the Church. These changes will keep the historic feel and nature of our beautiful building, (see Architectural Digest https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/most-beautiful-place-of-worship-every-state ). Worship space changes will provide more pews and at the same time provide an enhanced interior and exterior appearance. Kimmel and Associates, is working to creatively validate our requested changes and develop plans and renderings. The next architectural drafts will be completed by mid February. As mentioned last month, there are differing views on the structural and environmental integrity of our Parish Hall and Office Area. We need to know if one or both of these buildings are sound and useable for our long range needs. The Vestry approved hiring a structural consultant to evaluate the Parish Hall and Office Wing. We hired Paynter Ingram, whose done previous work for St Peter’s and specifically was involved in the Parish Hall construction project. Paynter will have his structural analysis completed by mid February.

Maintenance Projects

Natalie Kerr and Jackie Ferris, both vestry members, form the core group of a property committee. They are both working on projects and are a great assistance to maintaining and improving St. Peter’s facilities.

Jackie and Natalie were part of a contractor walk through of the church and rectory in January. We formalized a list of maintenance items that need to be done. There are numerous maintenance items that must be done sooner than later and the work on these urgent items will be started in February. Also the list will be used for an organizational meeting of an expanded property committee in March.

We still need to finish the new music room wood trim installed after the Sacristy floor reinforcements. And we need to replace music room tile removed during the Sacristy floor reinforcements. We are postponing this work until summer so we do not interfere with the music program. Music room ceiling light additions have been delayed.

Other items of discussion

Jackie briefly discussed repairs need in the Rectory.

Up-dated plans for the Open Door Project were presented. Please review and email Natalie any suggestions and/or concerns by the end of next week.

Planned Giving and Stewardship

Jeff and Jim will be meeting soon with ways to proceed.

Worship

All choirs resumed in January after a post-Christmas break. Music has been selected and is in rehearsal for Lent, Holy Week, and Easter. The bell choir will play on Sunday, February 11, at the 10:00 service. The choir will sing at the evening service on Ash Wednesday.

After several obstacles, the choir had the Epiphany dinner on January 13. Nearly 70 people were in attendance. Fundraising for the Ely Cathedral residency is going well and has been bolstered by some generous donations from individuals.

The St. Cecilia Guild held two events in January. One was a donor reception that was generously hosted, once again, by Robert Patlan and Gordon Tanner. There were 74 people in attendance. The Lewes Chamber Players performed during the reception. The other event was a concert by the Lewes Chamber Players on Sunday, January 28. It was attended by 136 people. The LCP were joined by Dr. Carl Cranmer, Associate Professor of Piano at West Chester University. The program was entitled "Music for a Cold Afternoon". There are currently 69 donors to the St. Cecilia Guild who have, collectively, donated over $16,000 since September. Of those 69 donors, 20% of them are from outside the parish.

On Shrove Tuesday, the Absalom Jones Chapel will be dedicated by Bishop Kevin Brown.

Christian Formation

Parents’ Night Out was canceled in January so that the rescheduled Epiphany Dinner hosted by the choir could take place. It will take place in February as scheduled and the children will make valentines for their parents.

Peace Booklets. The Church School classes met in the Parish Hall on Sunday, January 21. They pasted quotes and photos relating to peace

Vestry Reports from the February Meeting

Vestry Reports (Continued) and then decorated the booklets. Even our youngest children participated and all did a fabulous job!

Forma Conference. Lorri was honored to attend the Forma Conference in Charleston, SC from January 22 to 26. This year’s conference was on Social Justice and the speakers and workshops offered were quite informative and interesting. Pre-conference offerings included many workshops on eformation and digital programming. The presiding bishop sermon at the closing Eucharist was quite powerful. We are blessed in that the Province paid the conference fee and most grateful for the opportunity to take part in this unique experience.

SPY Explorers. We are all saddened by the loss of our SPY Explorers teacher, Tom Sturgis. Tom was instrumental in having the children visit Harbor Healthcare and play bingo with the residents which we will continue to do.

Youth Group is taking off slowly but we continue to have several youth taking part in our meetings. After the meeting last month, we went to Pizza Hut for lunch. This month we are taking the kids grocery shopping. We’ll form two teams and each will be given $40. They will be tasked with buying food to feed a family of four for a week. This team-building exercise should be fun and quite interesting for the participants. The youth will also be working for the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper.

Children’s Activity Time will take place during the Lenten Series this year. Parents can have dinner with their children upstairs and during the speaker; the children will go downstairs for a craft or movie.

Lenten Devotional. Lorri is compiling a devotional for each day in Lent and many parishioners have written for the booklet. The Bishop is also contributing devotion.

Play Kitchen. The Hershelman family donated a play kitchen for the nursery and we are most grateful to Josh, Dawn, Olivia, and Audrey for this kind donation.

We are in need of a Nursery Care Giver, teachers and volunteers to help with Godly Play. Vacation Bible School will be held August 6-9.

Pastoral Care and Stephen Ministry:

Father Larry visits 20 to 30 people each month. Stephen Ministers have one or two people.

Recognition for these Ministers will be held March 11. They will be having a Retreat in October.

They discussed the mission of the art show and discussed the 2018 goal to meet or exceed 2017’s goal. The majority of last year’s proceeds were donated to the Community Resource Center and a small amount was donated to Primeros Pasos.

192 letters with enclosures were mailed on January 11 to prospective applicants. The application deadline is March 15 (postmarked). The bishop’s wife will be invited to exhibit her art.

We need additional help with Logistics. Several people were suggested to help and they will be contacted.

It was agreed to hold future art show committee meetings on the 2nd Monday of the month at 4:30 p.m. in the conference room. The next meeting for the art show committee is scheduled for February 12 at 4:30 p.m.

Rector’s Report Absalom Jones Chapel will be dedicated by Bishop

Altar Guild members prepare and clean-up the altar for worship at the Eucharist, weddings, funerals and other ceremonies.

All positions are very simple and someone will be glad to help you get familiar with the duties. Assignments are made on a rotating basis. Please contact the Parish Office if you are interested in serving on any of the above ministries.

Recently in the New York Times, there was an excellent article about giving up plastic for Lent. We’ve shortened the link for you (goo.gl/oWSP6v) to make it easier for you to type in and read the article. Enjoy!

QUIZ TIME — #4 What is the best way to decrease plastic bag pollution?

a. Throw used bags into the general recycling bin. b. Pick up litter on the beach. c. Use a reusable bag. d. Lecture a salesperson about the evils of plastic.

Submit your answer to Trish Baines

(miketrishbaines@gmail.com) by March 15 . The winner will be announced in a future column in The Keys.

The correct answer to last month’s quiz: How long is the average plastic bag used for? Answer: 12 minutes.

March 2018 Saint Peter’s Keys—Page 11

From the Rear Pew by The Rev. E. Perren Hayes "Sin" is a crucially important word in contemporary Christianity. In the growing company of Western (Latin-based) Christians, very often the fundamental meaning of Greek/Hebrew words is altered. This is because the vast majority of Christian thinkers – and pray-ers -- use the word St. Jerome chose to translate the Greek/Hebrew word used in holy Scripture. (Jerome died in 420) During his lifetime Jerome was a brilliant teacher, and biblical scholar. His death was about a century after Christianity became the primary religion of the Roman Empire. After that happened at the beginning of the previous century, the Roman Empire began to fall apart – into Eastern and Western sections. The Church also divided itself. At the same time Latin replaced Greek as the normal language of the Western Empire. So Jerome translated the Greek/Hebrew Bible into Latin the now the common language for the Western Roman Empire. Jerome's Latin Bible was called the "Vulgate." (You are correct: directly related to the English word "vulgar.") Jerome's translation is still in use today. What for many who try to study the Bible with care, it has become noted that Jerome's "peccatum/pecatare" translates only the smallest part of the meaning of the Greek word "hamartano" - an exact translation of the Hebrew. The Greek/Hebrew words clearly mean "miss the mark." This is an archery term. It is not a military term – it is a term of discipline! In Greek, shooting an arrow at a target was a normal recreation. One would stand and look at a target, examine it with the eyes; take into account the weight of the arrow; the distance between the archer and the target; the tension of the connection of the bow; the

position of feet; placement of hands; the direction and strength of the wind; etc.: all in preparation to release the arrow. When the arrow – as it often happened – did not hit the target, the archer was "hamartano." That is to say, he "missed the mark." Some part of his preparation had failed. The solution was twofold: to speak with experts for guidance; and to work hard with practice. The best way to solve the problem was to talk, think, and practice, practice, PRACTICE!

Jerome worked in Rome; he died in 420. In the town of Hippo, in North Africa, there was a Bishop named Augustine. A very large number of people consider Augustine the greatest theologian the church has ever produced. However, Augustine – who died in 430 – had a very difficult time becoming a Christian. He was a man who paid careful attention to the meaning of words. As he read words, feelings that the words signified

became real in his own body. But eventually he understood that God loved him no matter what he thought – or even did – provided he repented – metanoia in Greek. Augustine – who didn't know a word of Greek – read Jerome's Vulgate, and so took only the small part of the Greek/Hebrew meaning for what we call sin. The normal Latin meaning for "pecco/pecatare" was "commit a crime, a fault." It is not very difficult to see how evil, and wicked, and meaninglessness became associated with the word “sin.” St. Augustine did a beautiful job of combining his feelings after repentance with Jerome's error. But an increasing group of scholars say he radically changed the meaning of the Gospel of Good News for great numbers of people. Sin (metanoia) is not – NOT – something that destroys your life or changes your nature. This just is NOT true!
