Volume 48, Number 07 • March 2015

March – A Month of Faithfulness

In our liturgical calendar, March

is almost always fully consumed

by the season of Lent. Only

occasionally does Easter happen

late in March, and even less

frequently does Easter come late

enough that the first few days of

March are in the Epiphany

season. March is usually

entirely Lent.

There is a certain

meteorological good sense to

this. Our weather, stuck in a

kind of gray zone between

winter and spring, I think, helps

us to be meditative and

introspective. But tucked into

March, and rarely observed by

most of us, are two of the most

important “feasts” of the

Christian calendar.

On March 19, the Church

remembers St. Joseph, the

spouse of Mary and the adoptive

father of Jesus. We know little

of this man. Only the gospellors

Luke and Matthew give us tiny

glimpses of him. He disappears

early from the narrative, and his

primary contribution to the story

was to provide Jesus with a

patrilineal link to the royal line

of King David. But the gospel accounts make very

clear that this was a costly thing for Joseph.

Without him, and without his faithful willingness to

embrace and protect Jesus and Mary, the entire

story comes unglued.

On March 25, the Church celebrates one of the

major Christological feasts, the Feast of the

Annunciation. It has long been thought that the

early Christians fastened upon December 25th

as Jesus’ birthday, then

counted back nine months to

arrive at March 25th as the

date of the Annunciation to

Mary. Liturgical scholars

have conclusively

demonstrated that we have it

backwards. The date of the

Annunciation was fixed first,

then they counted forward

nine months to arrive at

Christmas. In a sense, the

early Christians believed that

the day of Mary's “yes” was

more important even than the

day of Jesus' physical birth.

Both of these feasts,

coming as they always do in

the midst of Lent, remind us

of the importance and power

of our faithful responses to

God. Every time you and I

consciously acquiesce to

what we believe is the call of

God, we reenact in our own

lives the faithfulness of

Joseph and Mary. Our “yes”

to God's summons is every

bit as consequential, every

bit as full of divine potential,

as were the responses of

Mary and Joseph.

I pray your Lent is

unfolding in ways that remind you of, and

strengthen you in, your faithful response to the God

who first loved you. My we all, like Mary and

Joseph, renew our “yes” to God and grow this

month, and all months, in the faithfulness that

renews the face of the earth.

Your Colleague in Christ,

— Keith

Mission Trip Fundraiser: Dewey’s Pizza – What a Success!

Thank you to everyone

that supported our

Dewey’s Pizza

Fundraiser. We sold 45

pizzas and raised just

under $500 for our

summer mission trip to

Appalachia. Special

thanks to our Parish

Accountant for pulling

all the orders together

into an easy to

understand spreadsheet and taking care of all the

funds that came in.

March Outreach Focus of the Month:

Cleveland Sight Center

The Cleveland Sight Center (CSC), located on the

edge of University Circle and near the Cleveland

Clinic, provides services for all northeast Ohio

residents of any age who are blind or visually

impaired. Cleveland Sight Center is a non-profit

organization. For fiscal year 2013 (the most current

available on their website), 45% of revenue came

from investment income, 37% from program

service fees, and 18% public support. They are

governed by a Board of Trustees, have

approximately 100 full and part-time employees,

and over 200 volunteers.

The Cleveland Sight Center offers a broad array

of services to maximize the independence and

quality of life of its clients. Programs include:

Birth – 3 years old: Early Intervention. On-site

parent-child groups with an EI specialist,

occupational therapist, physical therapist,

speech therapist, orientation & mobility

specialist, social worker; home visits;

services are often coordinated with

HelpMeGrow.

Bright Futures Preschool 3-5 years old: integrated

preschool for 16 students with the same

staffing as the Early Intervention program.

School-aged children: Serves a supportive role.

CSC hosts an August conference for

teachers, provide IEP support, low vision

assessment, assistive technology

Teens and young adults: on-site daily living skills

training (clean, cook, laundry, banking,

exploring new neighborhoods), career

exploration, social skills, IEP support

Adults: employment training and services with no

time limits, on the job support, low vision

evaluations, adaptive aids and technology,

recreation and socialization, supported

employment at the CSC, Call Center

employment site, low vision clinic, self-help

groups, recreation activities (golf, sailing,

book clubs, hiking, tai chi)

Seniors: home assessments, maximizing remaining

vision, support groups, Orientation &

Mobility services

Highbrook Lodge – A summer camp for blind or

visually impaired people and their families

in Chardon

Summer Camps at CSC for preschoolers through

high schoolers. High schoolers live in

apartments at Cleveland Sight Center.

Eyedea Shop – An on-site store for low vision

adaptive devices. Large print items,

household items with enlarged numbers or

letters (e.g. digital clocks, calendars),

magnifiers, cooking items, slant boards,

scanning and reading devices, talking clocks

and timers and more.

Patti Geiger has a unique connection to the

Cleveland Sight Center. She is a member of the

Delta Gamma (DG) Sorority. “Service for Sight”

has been The Delta Gamma’s philanthropic mission

since 1936. Patti first encountered the Cleveland

Sight Center as a DG alum. The DG alumni chapter

activities are based on the Sight Center in all

volunteer activities. When a Delta Gamma chapter

re-formed at Case Western Reserve University in

2003 (after a 120 year lapse), The Cleveland Sight

Center became the focus of much of their efforts.

Currently the Delta Gamma chapter at Case

Western Reserve University has “adopted” the

Bright Futures preschool as a focus of their

outreach.

The Geiger’s experience and involvement with

the Cleveland Sight Center did not end with Patti’s

DG alumni activities, when Chas’s mother

developed macular degeneration a year or so before

her death, the CSC helped provide lighted

magnifying devices to allow her to continue to read.

As a widow of more than 20 years, she was very

proud of her independence. The Sight Center also

provided her with support and encouragement,

giving her confidence that she could continue an

independent life with limited sight.

Please consider this unique resource we have in

the greater Cleveland area and give generously.

Thank-you!

Easter Brunch

Easter Brunch is

Saturday, April 4th

from 10:00 a.m. to

noon. The event

will feature:

Passport thru Holy

Week for our

Families.

There is no cost

for this event. We

will begin with a

potluck brunch.

Please bring a

brunch item to share. Families will have the

opportunity to complete a Holy Week Passport and

travel through this special week in less than an hour.

So many times we go straight from Palm Sunday

to Easter morning and totally miss what happened

in between. We have a lot of young families that

may miss the key stories of our faith on the nights

when these stories take place and have the most

power. So we’re going to be travelers in time and

go back real quick to experience the week together.

All are welcome.

Easter Egg Hunt

Please join us on Easter

Sunday, April 5th

at 9:00

a.m. for a simple service

oriented towards families

with young children.

Following the service

will be an Easter Egg

Hunt. This will be our

third year hosting a hunt.

The first year it had to be

held in the undercroft due to weather conditions and

last year we were able to have it outside--fingers

crossed we'll be outside again this year. We are

looking for sponsorship of the items needed to stuff

the eggs. I will be sending emails to our families

with specific items that need sponsored. I will be

placing an order with Oriental Trading for things

like, small toys, stickers, tattoos, etc.... We are

really trying to avoid food/candy items. Our Youth

Group will be stuffing all of the eggs a week before.

If you have any questions or concerns, please

contact Michelle.

Nancy’s Corner

Last of the Greatest Generation

I am not sure who exactly

made the observation but

whether it was Tom Brokow

or some other there seems to be a consensus that

those born during or just after WWI and who served

our country during WWII were “The Greatest

Generation.”

My parents are gone, as are their parents and

their brothers, and now the last, my mother’s sister.

All served with distinction. Most of the black and

white photos show all the men in uniform while the

women are in civilian clothes, or mufti as my father

would say.

My mother’s sister, Mary, was the last of that

generation in the family. She died this February

2015 in hospice care. She wanted, with her family,

to contribute to the war effort. Her desire to be a

“Rosie the Riveter” or in the Navy were not what

her father, a Navy Captain, thought appropriate for

a lady. Finally she heard about the creation of

WASPs, better known as the Women Air-force

Service Pilots program. She got her father’s

permission and took flying lessons in a cow field in

Manassas, Virginia.

She earned the coveted pilot’s license. Every day

Mary made her way to office of Lt. Col. Jacqueline

Cochran, head of the WASPs, in Washington D.C.

until they finally told her to pack her bags and pay

for the transportation, and report to Sweetwater,

Texas for training. She joined the class of 1944 - 45.

(On December 7, 1943 she graduated 72nd

of 132 in

her class.)

The WASP flew planes from coast to coast; they

were test pilots; and delivery agents who delivered

planes from the factory to the coasts. They also

pulled targets for the male pilot’s gunnery practice.

The WASPs were disbanded in December 1945.

It was not until March 2010 that the women

pilots were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.

She and her sisters were pioneers in women’s

aviation, and instrumental in the war effort that

made them a part of The Greatest Generation.

Her message even today is a challenge, “Come

on folks; let’s show the world that little girls really

can fly!" And fly they did and do today even in

outer space.

Anyone interested in women’s aviation history

needs to visit WASP on the Web or the Women’s

Aviation Museum here in Cleveland, a part of the

Burke Airport near the Rock 'n Roll Museum.

Friday Lent Flicks continue

Join Keith in the upstairs

lounge on the Fridays in

Lent as he offers his

favorite “spiritual” movies

along with a simple supper

(maybe meatless,

sometimes fish).

We’ll meet at 6:30

and immediately

start the movie.

An hour in, we’ll

pause and serve

supper, then dive

right back into the film. Afterwards, we’ll stay a

little while for a warm beverage and some

conversation.

Here are the dates and films for the Fridays in

March:

March 6 Into Great Silence

March 13 The Missionary (Rated 'R'),

not to be confused with “The Mission!”

March 20 Of Gods and Men

March 27 The Miracle Maker

(great movie to bring kids)

Altar Flowers

St. Peter’s has several

Sundays throughout the year

available for you to place

flowers at the altar. If you

would like flowers to

memorialize or honor your

loved ones, you may do so by

contacting the office at

216-226-1772. Seasonal flower arrangements are

$50. Call or stop by the office to see if your date is

available. (Flowers are not on the altar during the

Lenten Season.) The people of St. Peter’s thank

you for your thoughtfulness and generosity.

Vestry Officers for 2015

St. Peter’s Vestry met on Friday and

Saturday, February 6th

and 7th

for the Vestry

Retreat at Lakewood Congregational Church

and Trinity Commons. During the course of

fellowship and business, the Vestry elected

the following officers:

Senior Warden:

Junior Warden: Doug Fifner

Treasurer: Dan Lammers

Clerk: Amanda Wolf

Coffee Hour

Below are our host families for March &

April. Just to remind us all how this

works: Six households will be assigned

each Sunday. No one will have to do

this more than a couple times each year.

We ask that you plan to bring

along with you on Sunday a plate

of something to put out for coffee

hour. Baking is no required, but is

always welcomed! The items you bring can be as

simple as a bag of goldfish crackers, baby carrots

and dip, grapes, crackers & cheese, you name it.

Just bring enough to share with maybe two dozen

people, and please make sure it’s ready to

service(i.e., on a platter, sliced, whatever). All you

have to do is leave the item in the kitchen before

church.

The verger will take care of putting things out and

cleaning up (though you are always welcome to

help!) Tom Newman will help out by getting the

coffee & lemonade started. THANK YOU Tom!

If you cannot cover your assigned Sunday, it

would be most helpful if you call someone and

switch Sundays. You many opt entirely out of the

rotation simply by contacting Amanda Chambers

440-891-1508 or [email protected]

With much gratitude, Amanda Chambers

Sunday worship. The link

has proved invaluable and

offers a wonderful insight

into the weekly readings.

This is a great resource offered

by Church Publishing Inc.; you have the ability to

view last week’s, this week’s and next week’s

readings.

In addition, overviews, scripture backgrounds,

reflections and prayer starters are included to boost

your understanding for and reflect upon each

week’s readings...a way to really bring the Word to

life!

You can view the readings and information on

the Scriptures by visiting St. Peter’s website

(www.stpeterslakewood.org) and clicking on the

scripture icon, labeled “Preparing for Sunday,”

located on the home page. We trust this will provide

valuable enrichment to your spiritual life.

This will be a combination of hot and cold

foods with, bagels, fruit, and other goodies. The

cost is $3.00 per person with a maximum of $15 per

family. So join us on Sunday, March 1st for

fellowship, food, and fun before or after the service

If you or your group is interested in hosting the

breakfast, give the office a call. Our Continental

Breakfast can be as easy as picking up the phone,

calling a few friends, and baking, or it can be going

to the store and buying a few breakfast items like

coffee cake, muffins, Danish, bagels, or cereal.
