Good Morning,

The familiar words, “Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness, Let the Whole World Stand in Awe of Him” struck me as I entered the church on Pentecost Sunday. The beauty and splendor that enveloped me added to the spiritual beauty and the awe I feel when I think of the gift of the Holy Spirit. Many thanks go to Nancee and Jessica and the Altar Guild for this awesome and beautiful Pentecost experience. On Sunday mornings when entering the pew my first prayers have been for the people in Ukraine and Gaza. Ever since seeing the images of bombed out churches, hospitals, schools, and streets of destruction, I pray for the end of wars and that all people can once again have places where they can worship together. I thank God that I have the freedom to worship together with my church family in a place set apart for praying, praising and singing. Although I am glad that parishioners and newcomers want to be friendly in greeting one another in the Narthex leading to a welcoming atmosphere, I do wish that it could be quiet inside the Nave before the service begins. Another and more positive thought about worshipping in community is that we have the opportunity to watch the children in the congregation grow and mature Sunday after Sunday and be a part of their Baptisms, Confirmations and, like last Sunday, listening to the Crisman twins tell about their High School Graduation and thank their church family for their prayers and support along the way. What a moving experience it was for them to ask Father J. for a Blessing on this special event in their lives. I felt they have given as much or more to All Saints as they have received in growing up in this congregation.

In Christ’s Love,
Rosanne

Pentecost derives its name from the Jewish festival celebrating the harvest and the giving of the law on Mount Sinai fifty days after Passover. Fifty days after Easter, we celebrate the Holy Spirit as God present within and among us. In Acts the Spirit arrived in rushing wind and flame, bringing God’s presence to all people. Paul reminds us that though we each have different capacities, we are unified in the Spirit that equips us with these gifts.

Good Morning,

Two books I have been reading have turned my thoughts to faith and faithfulness. One is John McCain’s memoir, “FAITH of my FATHERS” and the other book is “The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak” subtitled “Lessons on Faith from Nine Biblical Families” selected by our Daughters of the King chapter. The Chapter on the Old Testament Book of Ruth and her mother-in-law Naomi is a beautiful example of faith, love and devotion. The familiar words of Ruth to Naomi, “whither thou goest” or in some translations “Wherever you go I will go, wherever you live I will live, your people will be my people and your God will be my God” begins their story and it has led me to read the whole book of Ruth in the Old Testament –actually it is a very short book with only four chapters. The John McCain book is a long one beginning with the lives of his famous father and grandfather and dwells on his admiration and respect for these two men who were examples of strength and courage. It was difficult to read about the torture and cruelty John endured while a Prisoner of War in Vietnam. Toward the end of his five years of being moved from one horrible prison to another, often in solitary confinement, the captives were mainly kept in one huge concrete room where they were allowed to speak with one another. All knew the Military Code of Conduct, but together they came up with a Code of Conduct for American Prisoners of War. It contained six points and the final one ended with the sentence, “I will trust in God and the United States of America.” With joy of being together, they observed their military ranks and formed groups or “squadrons”. John was appointed the Entertainment Officer and also Chaplain; perhaps because he had attended an Episcopal High School. They were allowed to have a Christmas Service and formed a choir. They asked for a Bible and their captor finally gave them a tattered one which he said was the only Bible in Hanoi. It was the most beautiful observance of Christmas that many of these men had ever experienced. Because they didn’t want to remember the beatings and torture, John clung to the friendships he made which would last a lifetime. A poignant remembrance was when he was allowed outside for a brief time and a young Vietnamese soldier carrying a rifle approached and stood beside him. He very quietly, without a word, drew a cross in the sand at their feet with his boot and walked away. Days later when John was sitting in a cell on a stool bound in tight ropes and gagged after being beaten and tortured, the same young soldier came in and without a word loosened the ropes without visibly untying them, allowing him to breathe more easily. From 1 Peter, “Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence. It is better to suffer for good, if suffering should be God’s will, than to suffer for doing evil.”

In Christ’s Love,
Rosanne

This morning Suzie Muttel made a presentation to the Loveland Garden Club meeting at All Saints about the new plants that have begun to be planted around our labyrinth. The Sacred Garden phase will have regionally adapted native perennials and drought-tolerant ornamental grasses to create a sustainable, low-maintenance landscape. More planting to come! Feel free to join the planting team (Suzie Muttel, Karl Lincoln, Carl Peterson, Bill Laucher).
