Remarkable events
Every now and then, I get a glimpse that the Kingdom of Heaven is a little closer. This past summer I got that feeling when a number of groups in the parish were having planning meetings for the fall programs in July and early August. In a two week period we had meetings of the Youth Ministry Task Force, the Mission/Outreach Committee, the Church School Coop, as well as groups planning the Fall Auction, the Blessing of the Animal Service and even the Stewardship Committee.
All of this activity is remarkable in one way, unremarkable in another way, and truly remarkable in a third way.
First, it is remarkable in that, institutionally, All Saints’ is not always this efficient in our planning. Most often we manage to pull things off, but there have been some late summers when even a professional procrastinator like myself has been driven to near despair. The unremarkable thing is that efficiency in and of itself is not a sign that the Kingdom of God is near. Getting things done does not necessarily equate with following God’s will. In a world that values bigger and better, it is easy to confuse activity with faithfulness.
This brings me to the truly remarkable: the joy and love expressed by the individuals who have been doing these things and the relationships that are being forged. Rather than me or other members of the staff beating a drum to get people going, individuals have stepped forward and simply gotten things done. They have called on others to help them and for the most part have done so with anticipation and good humor.
I know that it takes a lot of effort and a lot of individuals to run a congregation. The Kingdom of God is manifest when that work is done with a sense of service as Christ has served us. Thank you to all who have worked to make this fall program year begin smoothly. Thank you for your faithfulness and for the joy you have shared in serving others.
Peace,
Tom

In the last few years, we have had a lot of infant baptisms. This means that we now have a lot of small children whose families sometimes find it hard to worship at the Sunday morning services. We will be offering a child-centered service on Sunday, September 20th with an opportunity for dinner and fellowship afterwards.
All are welcome to join us, regardless of age.
We received the following note from Rosine from Rwanda, who was sponsored by the Chelmsford Cluster of RIM when she was seeking political asylum. She was granted asylum last winter and is currently living in East Boston and working at a food stand at Logan Airport.
Dear members of All Saints’ Church,
I would like you to pass my appreciation to all for each and everything you
people have done for me. I know can't thank you enough but I always ask God to
bless you so much for the love and care to others. I have been wished that
opportunity to say thanks to all of you in a special way but in the meantime
just say it on my behalf.
May God be with you all the time.
Love,
Rosine
As a member of the Refugee Immigration Ministry (RIM) All Saints' Church is sponsoring a refugee family from Iraq. The family left Iraq in 2006 and fled to Jordan. They will be coming to the United States as approved refugees and will be able to work upon arrival. Since the family will have very little in the way of material goods, RIM is helping to furnish their new home. We at All Saints' have volunteered to furnish the kitchen.
Since I sent out an email request for kitchen goods, the response has been amazing. We are in pretty good shape but if anyone has a set of flatware (at least 4 place settings) we are still in need of this item. If anyone has any questions about this project, contact Carl Clark at 978 -256-0058, or by email at ccl17@comcast.net.
Peace,
Carl
In the July/August edition of Saints Alive the announcement was made that we would be celebrating our 2nd Creation Sunday/Blessing of the Animals service on October 4th.
Our first planning meeting took place the evening of Thursday, August 20th @ 7:30 at the church in the Cranberry Room.
We are hoping to make this a weekend event with a Pet Adoption/Environmental Awareness Faire to be held on Saturday, October 3rd followed by the worship service on Sunday, October 4th. These two events will require many hands. Help will be needed both days with logistics, liturgy, publicity, animal certificates, welcoming guests and refreshments.
I'm very excited about this event and encourage anyone who is interested to join us at future meetings or contact me directly via e-mail (m.flewelling@comcast.net) or by phone: 978-250-8164.

For the 25th time, I am here to say, “Come on down!” As I end my first quarter century as your Minister of Music (pretty impressive, eh?), I can still say with enthusiasm that I look forward to welcoming back all choir members, and would love to see some new members, too.
Our Senior Choir rehearses weekly on Thursdays from 7:45-9:15p.m. in the choir room, beginning September 10. The ability to read music is helpful, but not necessary, since we rehearse music for many weeks in advance. The Senior Choir sings at most weekly 10a.m. Sunday services and at other special times throughout the year. New members are welcome, and we would give an especially warm welcome to tenors and basses. J
The Junior Choir is for unchanged voices in grades 5 and up. This group sings twice monthly at the 10 a.m. service and at other special times throughout the year. Junior Choir rehearses weekly on Thursdays from 6:30-7:30 in the choir room beginning September 17.
The Children’s Choir rehearses weekly on Thursdays from 5:30-6:15 p.m. in the choir room and is for children in grade 2-5, or younger if they are able to read words well. This group sings twice monthly at the 10a.m. service and at other special times throughout the year. Rehearsals begin September 17.
The Bell Choir rehearses weekly on Thursdays in the church from 6:30-7:30p.m. and plays regularly throughout the church year. The ability to read music is helpful, but more important is a good sense of rhythm and the ability to count. The start date for this choir is uncertain since this group is currently without a director. If you have handbell or other musical experience that would give you the courage and ability to direct, please let me know. I am willing to work with this director to assist in planning and music selection, but am unable to lead this choir on Thursday nights.
Leah Cole and Connie Pawelczak are the two volunteers who work hard to ensure the successes of these choirs. Leah accompanies the Children’s Choir and Connie the Junior Choir. I am extremely grateful to them for their continued faithfulness.
Faithfully yours,
Maggie Marshall
On September 20, all current acolytes will be meeting after the 10AM service with Tom and Clem in the main church, for an update, info session etc.
Anyone interested in becoming an acolyte is also invited, as we will do some training during that meeting and I will make the fall schedule that weekend. We encourage all to join our ranks. The one primary requirement is to be able to sit quietly during the service, so traditionally this has been for those in the 4th grade and above.
Please talk with Tom or myself (Clem
Cole) if you think you might be interested.
Thank you
Clem Cole
The Handbell Choir is looking for new members, and would love to ring for you at a brunch after church on September 27! This will be a bell demo, a bell “petting zoo”, and a fellowship opportunity for all.
Handbells are a great alternative for music lovers who can’t sing but can count. J
We’d love to feed everyone, and hope that many will enjoy the chance to get a first hand look at our handbells and chimes.
Maggie Marshall, Minister of Music
All Saints' Church will be having an auction on October 24th beginning at 7PM. Hot and cold hors d'oeuvres will be served. Tickets will cost $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Included with each ticket will be 2 coupons for wine or beer.
This is a major event for our parish and we need many people to help in order for it to be a success. Donations are needed such as vacation homes, time shares, fine jewelry, gift certificates for restaurants, services such as cleaning a yard or doing an oil change, etc.
We will need everyone's help to sell tickets, set-up during the day, clean-up afterwards, and of course to attend the event. We will have a live auction, as well as items for silent auction. Our own Lynne McSheehy will be the auctioneer. She is already polishing up her gavel for the event.
Look for more information in the near future on the web site (www.allsaintschelmsford.org.) If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Lois Freeman at loissf@comcast.net.

A Pat on the Back:
May I just thank the people who are mowing the lawns at All Saints. They look wonderful this year. I know it’s a lot of work and I just want you to know your efforts are appreciated. It is so nice to see the church grounds looking so great. Anonymous
Kenya Trip
September starts another program year at All Saints’ and Mission/Outreach is no exception. One of the most exciting things we have planned this year is the sending of a group of parishioners to our partner parish in Kenya in February. They will be visiting Nyahela sub-parish and staying at St. Paul’s seminary in Maseno. The purpose of the trip is to establish some personal connections and to explore ways that our two parishes can partner to do God’s Mission. Those going are:
• Lois Freeman
• Carl Clark
• Dee Miller
• Edie Parekh
• Tom Barrington
These folks have agreed to pay their own airfare but have requested that the parish help them out by coming up with funds for their other expenses. We estimate that this will come to ~$500/person. Look for more information and opportunities to contribute in the near future. Please support these ambassadors of All Saints with prayers and contributions as you feel led.
Fourth of July Booth
The fourth of July fried dough booth made over $2000 this year and had over 32 volunteers. Our many thanks to everyone who helped out in any way.
Lowell Folk Festival
Many All Sainters also volunteered at the Celebration of Life food booth at the Lowell Folk Festival in July. This booth raised over $16,000 and has already sent a check for $10,000 to Mustard Seed Communities to support their orphanages in the Caribbean. Thanks to all of you who volunteered.
Dave Kuzara
for the Mission/Outreach Team
To all my wonderful family of friends: Thank you sincerely for all the get well wishes recently, you are all special people in my life. I seem to be doing much better and know that I am doing better because of all of you. Thank you for your prayers that certainly did sustain me during my recent illness.
Love to all
Barbara Willman.
Mark your calendars on September 26, 2009, to attend our ceilidh (say "kay-lee") in the Parish Hall. For those who know what a ceilidh is, and for those who want to learn, we will be having Irish/Scottish fiddling music mixed in with Cape Breton traditional family dance. There will be mostly participation (Mabou squares) dancing with some performance dancing mixed in.
It should be an evening of fun and fellowship in late September!
Any questions or suggestions, call Bob Andrews at 978-244-0163 or bnlandrews@comcast.net.
Thanks!
Bob
Parents – Mark your calendars!!!
All Saints’ Church offers a Christian Formation program for children from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 5, each Sunday from 9:30 am until 10:45 (or the exchange of Peace in the service). We seek to support all children in their relationship with God and share with them our Christian traditions, liturgy and stories. We are committed to fostering a safe, engaging, and spiritual place for all children to be with God each Sunday.
The first day of church school will be on Sunday, September 13th. If you have a child that will be attending, please take a moment to either register on-line through the All Saint website homepage -- http://www.allsaintschelmsford.org/
OR
You may register in person at 9:30 AM in the church hall on the first day of church school.
Please be sure to visit the website in late August for our updated Christian program description for this school year as well as a listing of some fun events we would like to offer to the children. We were thrilled with the level of participation, support and assistance received this past the year and we are asking for that commitment to continue for this coming church school year!

Most of us are familiar with the Mustard Seed ministry through the work of All Saints' Edith Parekh who has been actively involved in the ministry since first hearing about it in 1984. Mustard Seed is a ministry that supports some of the world's most disadvantaged children. There are Mustard Seed missions in Haiti, Nicaragua, Jamaica, and Zimbabwe. The theme of the mission is a Celebration of Life.
Edith first became aware of Mustard Seed in 1984 when former Senator Dan Leahy returned from a vacation trip to Jamaica. While touring, Senator Leahy asked his cab driver to show him where the real people lived and not just the areas developed for tourists. He was taken to a location called Riverton City. There he saw homeless children and families living on dumps and eating the garbage brought to the dump site from the cities. Many were physically challenged and desperately ill. During this trip, Senator Leahy met a priest know as Father Greg who was working to minister and provide for the people of Riverton City.
Upon his return to Lowell the Senator began to organize events to aid these desperate people. One such event was a concert by Harry Belafonte. Since Edith has family ties to Jamaica she went to the concert. Learning of the tremendous need for help with this mission, Edith and her whole family went into action. For 22 years they have been running a booth at the Lowell Folk Festival to raise funds for Mustard Seed. They have managed to raise $100,000 for the program. Also, Edith's youngest daughter spent a year in Jamaica working with HIV/AIDS orphans. Edith has made several trips there to bring supplies and support to the orphanage.
Again this year, the Parekhs were at their booth at the Lowell Folk Festival the weekend of July 24, 25, and 26. Thank you to all who volunteered to help at the event or stopped by and made a donation to help some of our brothers and sisters in Christ who are in such desperate need.

SaintsAlive! routinely includes a column (next page) with prayers, including prayers for those "ministering at Nyahela Sub-Parish in Kenya."
We also need to think prayerfully about Those Preparing for Ministry in Kenya:
• Lois Freeman
• Carl Clark
• Dee Miller
• Edie Parekh
• Tom Barrington
O God, You have made of one blood all peoples, to live in creation, and sent your blessed son Jesus Christ to preach peace to people both near and far: Help all your people to seek your will and find you; and hasten, O Lord, the fulfillment of your promise, to pour out your Spirit upon all flesh; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
In the Sunday Bulletin under the section on “those in our parish in need of healing,” we list those with more acute needs. Saints Alive carries a list of more “on-going” concerns to bring to God in prayer.
We will keep the description you provide as general or specific as you indicate. Please let us know what you would like included. We also encourage you to clip out these names and keep them in your prayers.
If you would like your name to be added or removed from any of the prayer lists, please contact Darlene in the Church Office.

Welcome to the new program year! Our parish life seems to follow the school calendar, with things beginning up again in September after taking a bit of a break for the summer months. That cycle echoes the church calendar. Late November or early December is when our church year begins with the first Sunday in Advent. In either case, it feels fitting to me that our energies are not quite in step with the calendars of our workplaces or even our homes. Sunday by Sunday, church season by church season, we are invited to look at time and our lives a little differently, to wonder what it might mean to live in God’s time. So again, welcome to a new year of worship and formation and activities and programs, all of them opportunities for us here at All Saints’ to draw closer to God and to one another.
The most important thing that we as a community do is gather together as the Body of Christ to worship God. Everything else, our Church School, our adult programs, our fellowship, our service and outreach, rests upon that foundation of being in relationship with God as the collected community. So come and be Church this new program year. Come worship, learn and serve, all in the name of Jesus our Savior.
in peace,
Amy B Hunter
Associate for Adult Christian Formation
Adult Formation opportunities:
All Saints’ is blessed with a wealth of opportunities for spiritual nourishment and growth. I am excited by the energy going into several projects and programs this fall. Our rector Tom hosted a brunch in the summer for the parents of small children. This group plans to look at how they might gather regularly for worship and fellowship that includes all ages. Melissa Flewelling is coordinating the October 4 service for the Blessing of the Animals. As we dive into a new program year, there are many wonderful efforts to pray for, give our time to, and attend—the Welcome Back cookout on September 13 and the blessing of our work on September 20, an invitation to learn about the Bell Choir on September 27 emphasize fellowship and creativity; gathering as a community to send a group of parishioners to Kenya early in January 2010 focuses upon our call to mission and to being intentional about our place in the wider Anglican communion. You will hear more about these and other formation opportunities at our services and through our new Constant Contact communications.
We also continue to have 2 ongoing adult formation opportunities:
§ Every Sunday morning at 9:00am there is a Bible Study on the gospel reading for the day. This study uses an oral tradition method; the group reads the passage aloud several times, each time answering a question that helps participants articulate their personal responses to the scripture. Stay after the 8:00am service or come before the 10:00am service. Whether you have been studying the Bible for years or have never picked one up on your own, this is a study that works for all levels of experience.
§ Prayer as First Resort meets the second Tuesday of every month and is a group that comes together to look at how we may practice our Christian faith in our daily lives and to encourage one another in our spiritual journeys. Themes for the coming year may include prayer, the apocalypse, and the Holy Spirit. Please watch the parish bulletin and newsletter! Lynne Grillo and Amy Hunter co-lead this group and would be happy to talk with you about it.
On Sunday September 20, All Saints’ will observe the autumn Ember Days, a time set apart to pray for the Church. This year, the Ember Days fall on September 16, 18, and 19, which are the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday after Holy Cross Day (September 14). The collects for those days not only focus upon those who are seeking and being ordained; they remember the ministry of all the baptized … that is of all of us in our daily life and work. We invite you, therefore, to bring some small item that symbolizes your occupation, something you use regularly for your work, maybe even your coffee mug or cell phone! We will pray for God’s blessings upon these items and the efforts they represent, as we remember that we are always engaged in ministry and that the chief place we join God in God’s mission is in our daily lives.
The following is more information about the Ember Days from The Episcopal Café website:
“The Ember Days are of ancient origin. In each season of the year, a Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday are devoted to fasting and prayer. Formerly, they were Roman festivals to beseech the blessings of the gods: one in summer for harvest, one in autumn for the vintage, and one in winter for the planting of seed. By the second century, Christians in Rome had baptized these observances and sometime (probably in the third century) a balancing fourth was added for spring. In fact, in the early days of Christian practice these four markers anchored the church’s year when its calendar was yet in its infancy—no Christmas yet, no Advent, an uncertain and emerging Lent—just Easter, Pentecost, and the Ember Days…
“Originally tied to the earth, to the birth and growth of crops, a new meaning was given to them by the fifth century: the Ember Saturdays became the quarterly dates for the ordination of deacons and priests. Thus, the Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays became days of fasting and supplication not just for the earth, but for the Church, for its ministers and ministry. They became a time to pray for the Church.
“… In our own Anglican world they remain little known and little observed but for postulants in the Church: for these are the days when they are required to write letters to check in with their bishops. The current Book of Common Prayer locates them among the Days of Optional Observance and, if you flip to the collects you will find none appointed there in course. Nevertheless, if you continue past the seasons of the year, past the Feasts and Holy Days to the numbered group of collects you will find three under number 15, prayers for “For those to be ordained,” “For the choice of fit persons for the ministry,” “For all Christians in their vocation”—one for each day, provided to pray for the Church.” written by Derek Olsen
Derek Olsen is in the final stretch of completing a Ph.D. in New Testament (with a healthy side of Homiletics) at Emory University. His reflections on life, liturgical spirituality, and being a Gen-X dad appear at http://haligweorc.wordpress.com/
September 26 2009 - 9:00am- 2:30pm at Bentley University in Waltham
The Diocese of Massachusetts will present Congregational Resource Day: “Discipleship: Being Formed and Sent in the Power of the Spirit into the Ministries of Our Daily Lives” on Saturday, Sept. 26, 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m., at Bentley University in Waltham
There will be workshops to help develop skills and give spiritual and practical help for joining God’s mission in the world. Bring a team from your parish with participants from the vestry, Sunday school teachers, stewardship committees, outreach and mission committees, youth leaders, welcoming committees, Web masters, newsletter editors, Education for Ministry participants, young adults, building and grounds committees, confirmation mentors and adult education committees. There is something for everyone!
Workshops that help us grow in discipleship and mission will fall under the broad categories of stewardship, education for all ages, communications, spirituality, the emergent church, congregational development and a special track for small churches.
Online registration will begin in August. Cost, which includes lunch, will be $15.00 per person.
The Rolling Ridge Conference Center offers a wonderful resource for spiritual seekers desiring to move more deeply into their faith. Drawing Near to God is an eight month program in which participants will explore their personal spiritual journeys in a group setting, and learn about and practice a variety of spiritual disciplines. These well tested tools lead to a greater awareness of the Divine in all of life. Each session will include worship, presentation, discussion, personal practice and reflection time. Participants will be assigned readings in preparation for each session. All the leaders are trained spiritual directors and retreat leaders. Participants will also be encouraged to be in spiritual direction while in the program.
All Saints’ parishioner Lynne Grillo went through this program a couple of years ago and would be glad to talk with anyone interested in learning more about it.
This has been a very busy year for yours truly: work has taken me to parts formerly unknown to me in places like Louisiana, Mississippi, Iowa, Minnesota, and Mozambique, all in the interests of making dams work as they were intended: navigation dams, flood control dams, water supply dams.
The world is certainly a more pleasant place as a result of the enormous debt we owe to the foresight of our forbears in taming the rivers of this world to our needs. We have power, and water, and food, and fishing, and some assurance that floods will be less devastating than might otherwise be the case. Every dam has its own peculiarities, its own effects on the surrounding communities, and in some cases, much wider.
Dams create power for people hundreds of miles away; boats in channels might merely promote commerce, but they are also the vessels of wonder that helped Mark Twain move out of town and gave rise to his Mississippi "children" Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. There are people in Lowell who lived through 1987 storm, unaware that dams upstream on the Merrimack had been used to hold back storm waters, meaning wet shoes on sidewalks, and some flooding in basements, were the worst of a storm that would otherwise have rivaled that of the 1939 flood when the city's bridges were hidden from view and the ground floors of buildings were completely hidden.
We maintain the infrastructure bequeathed to us, extending that legacy on occasion. Cause for these extensions is always with us: some of the highest flood waters in our river valleys have happened since 2007; we are still repairing damages from Hurricane Katrina 2005; among those who do not receive piped water from one large dam in Mozambique, there are crowds who come daily with large containers to collect daily water rations for their homes, essentially on the same grounds as the treatment plant, but brought in from out of town. At that same Mozambique location, there are two sets of power lines crossing the landscape, and one set of streetlights along one side of the rural street, yet on a winter's night in July you could see not electric lights and power but bonfires in the roadside villages along the way to the big town, offering warmth to the villagers. Elsewhere in Mozambique, a perfectly maintained dam is, through climatological limitations, holding less and less water as the years go by, and the thoughts of officials go to where and how the next dam will be constructed for the affected growing city.
Well, it may indeed be "only water" and only temporal, but the development of water resources really is a gem that the engineering profession can offer society.
For water that would satisfy a soul, however, we need to look to Jesus.
