From the Rector

New Entrances (and exits)

A few months ago in a sermon, Amy Hunter used the image of traveling through a door. 

She said that it always means that we leave behind something, but that we also enter into something new.  On June 20th Amy will be stepping down as our Associate for Adult Formation.  She will be passing through a doorway that leaves 10 years of service to All Saints’ Church.  This includes the many classes and small groups she has led, countless conversations, as well as her insightful analysis of how we are being invited to join in God’s mission as individuals and as a congregation.  She has been an insightful preacher, wise counselor and creative liturgist.  She has quietly offered guidance to the Vestry and other leaders, using her poet soul to invite us to go deeper into the heart of Christ.  She has modeled for us the depth and power of lay leadership.  She has been willing to share with us the painful realities of death and loss as well the joy and possibilities of discovering the love of Jesus new every morning.

On a personal note, Amy has offered to me a deep friendship, a prayer partner, and theologically grounded collegiality.  Through conversations, prayers, lists, and occasional poems, she has helped me be more aware of God’s grace and love.  She has listened when I have needed to talk, set me straight when I have wandered away, and pondered with me as we have tried to figure out what God is up to.  I will miss her greatly.

Amy will be passing through a doorway that will lead to opportunities to write, to use her creativity in new ways and the time to be a contemplative.  May she be blessed, nurtured and filled with God’s power and grace.

For us, we will be passing through a door that leads to exploring new staffing possibilities.  The vestry is already investigating ways we can better support our ministries with, for and by, children and youth.  Yes, some things are going to change.  I know that I am going to have to adjust my priorities.  I am also going to need help.  I already know that I will need a small team to assist me in planning and leading adult formation programs.  It is an opportunity for all of us to try some new things.

The greatest opportunity is that we will all be slightly shaken out of our patterns of comfortable predictability and invited to trust more completely in God’s guidance and love.  What does God want from us as a congregation and as individual Christians?  Amy taught us that the apocalypse, the end times, is when God will set everything right.  The question for all of us is: How can we use this time and transition to take a few more steps towards God’s perfect kingdom?

Peace,

Tom

 

 

PSSSSST (June 27th):

Prepare for Summer Sunday Services Schedule Shifted Timing.

Beginning June 27th, our Sunday Services are at 8 am and 9 am.


Adult Christian Formation

On August 10, 2000 I wrote in my journal, “Tom Barrington called yesterday to ask me to apply for the job of assistant at All Saints’.  I said no, but I’ve been struggling ever since.  I am not an administrator.  I’m a teacher, a poet, a theologian—and I’m not sure how to live those things out in the church.”

Not quite 10 years later, here I am saying Thank You to this parish, its leaders and especially to Tom for the gift of my time here.  I did rethink my refusal of the job (obviously!), and my life is richer for saying that yes.  These days I think of myself as a poet, a mystic, and a religious (not far from teacher, poet, and theologian).  I still wouldn’t want to claim the title of administrator, but I do think in lists, have a love of structure and think in systems, all abilities that have served me, and I hope, have served All Saints’, well for the past decade.

Some folks have wondered if my stepping down on June 20th from being Associate means I am unhappy.  Far from it!  It’s as simple as—my children are through college and on their own, and I have an amazingly supportive husband in Brian who is encouraging me to focus for a season on my writing.  The Holy Spirit is inviting me to move in a new direction, and I am seeking to be faithful to that call.

I leave All Saints’ with such a sense of all the gifts and learning and fun and challenge and growth that I have received.  I am deeply grateful to all of you for giving a poet and educator a place to practice for 10 years.  You have been community for not only me, but for Brian and for our children Michael and Sean as well.  You have let me teach and preach.  I have been stretched to be extroverted and active, and I know those pulls will stay with me.  I leave here more dedicated than ever to the importance of intentional Christian formation in parishes.  For all these gifts and countless others, I thank all of you.

My deepest gratitude is to Tom, for being a faithful priest who is passionate about Jesus Christ, for being my boss and colleague, for prayer, for the journey, for bearing with poetry, and for friendship.

I will miss all of you and I will miss being part of the day-to-day life of All Saints’.  And I will continue to hold this parish in my heart and my prayers, and hope that you will do the same for me.  Thank you so much.

in peace,

Amy Hunter

WV - Last Chance to Donate!

Sunday, June 6 is the last day that we’ll be selling shares to support the West Virginia Workcamp.  If you’ve been meaning to donate but haven’t yet, be sure to stop by the West Virginia Workcamp table after church.  We’ll be selling shares in the narthex and then later at coffee hour. 

Thanks to all of you who’ve already bought shares or come to one of our many fundraisers.  It’s your support that makes this mission trip possible.

Yours in Christ,

Sunday School Strawberry Shortcake Festival, 13 June 2010

It’s time once again for the annual, longstanding tradition of strawberry shortcake in the Parish Hall following the 10 AM service on 13 June to celebrate the end of another Sunday School year.  Please join us as we fete our Sunday School teachers and students.  The ASC Strawberry Festival is a welcome harbinger of the Summer Season and a great way to wrap up the school year.

This celebration is of, and for, the entire Parish, and volunteers are needed for contributions to ensure that this Fellowship Hour is well-stocked with a helping for everyone (strawberries, shortcake, whipped cream).  In past years, supplies have run short before our altar guild, musicians, and rector have made it to the Parish Hall; won’t you consider contributing a favorite ingredient?  We’ve had great responses in recent years – let’s be sure to have a repeat performance so that no one is turned away without strawberry shortcake!

Assistance is welcome for set-up and clean-up – many hands make light work.  Please contact Bruce Bray if you’re interested in helping out: (978)692-0565, maryb68@verizon.net.

Plan to join us in this annual, Parish-wide event celebrating the successful conclusion of another Sunday School year!

Thank you everyone,

All Saints’ Thrift Shop Board of Directors

 

Safe Church Thank You

For the safety and well being of the children, ASC policy dictates that there must be two adults (minimum) present for each of our Sunday school classes.  This means the teacher and one other person.  We are pleased to say that this year, we have successfully adhered to these guidelines and the support is very much appreciated.

A big THANK YOU to the following people who volunteered to act as Safe Church Representatives for our Lower Church School classes this year – Cynthia Bennett, Laurie Leahy, Trisha Mescall, Leslie Stafford, Rohini Pola, Lynne Grillo, Lori Walker, Joy Chadwick, Sally Warren, Linda Cahill, Jen Hernandez, Heather Goliber, Karen Pupo, Leah Cole, Pam Meinhardt and anyone else we may have not mentioned.

Environmental Stewardship

Clean-up at Bartlett Meadow

Sunday June 27th after Church after the 9:00 AM service.

All are invited to join us picking up trash at Bartlett Meadow, across from the Library.  We will provide gloves, bags and trash picker-uppers.  We will gather in the parking lot for instructions, getting our equipment and prayers.  You are encouraged to wear your All Saints’ Church “Being Green is Easy” T shirts.  We do have a few more in smaller sizes. 

All are welcome.

 

Social Networking Possibilities

for All Saints’

We would like to put together a short term task force to investigate additional communication opportunities for All Saints’.  Do you use Facebook?  Twitter?  Do you blog?  We are hoping to expand our communication venues beyond our monthly newsletter, weekly e-bulletin, and Sunday printed bulletins.

If you are interested in looking at other options for our church, please contact Maggie Marshall at 978-618-5852 or maggie@ccc.com.

 

Church School Teachers and Volunteers Needed for Fall ’10-’11

We at All Saints’ have always valued our Children and have supported them in their faith.  Several years ago, the lower church school leaders formed the CCF Co-op (Children’s Christian Formation Co-Operative) which is made up of teachers and volunteers that share the work of organizing, staffing and planning for the various activities and events that the children participate in throughout the school year.

With the end of the ‘09-‘10 Sunday school year approaching, the Co-op has been notified that there are many open positions in need of being filled for the Fall ’10-’11 year.  Many of our teachers and volunteers, who have given of their time and energy for several years, will either be stepping down or leaving.

Atrium (pre-K and Kindergarten) and Firelight I (Grades 1 and 2) will be without teachers and are in need of teams of 3 to 4 people for each class. 

Firelight II (Grades 3 & 4) and Firelight III (Grades 5 & 6) have 1 teacher each but are in need of an additional 2 to 3 people to share in the workload.

If You……….

          Have volunteered in the past as a safe church representative for one of our classes and had fun helping with a lesson,

          Have personally been asked to consider teaching next year,

          Are in the 10th, 11th or 12th grade and are involved with the youth group,

          Have asked yourself, “How can I become more involved with children’s ministry?”

          Are interested in sharing your gift of teaching children,

 

Then………….

Please prayerfully consider how you might become a partner of the vision of the All Saints Children’s Co-operative and make a commitment to helping us in our ministry with the children.

All questions/concerns regarding available curriculum and level of commitment can be directed to:

Melissa Flewelling (978-250-8164) or Laura Marshall (978) 256-1460.

 

Thank you –

Children’s Christian Formation Co-Operative Members

 

 

 


YASC and Christen Mills

Dear All Saints’ Family,

As many of you know, I will be leaving in August to be a Young Adult Service Corps missionary in Nagoya, Japan as part of my formation for the priesthood.  For 12 months I will be living and working in an Anglican community and assisting in the English classes that they teach to the youth in their city.  The YASC program is a missionary program with a focus “on cultural engagement, spiritual commitment, and vocational reflection - lived out together in a work of service.” 

As part of my preparation for this work I need to fundraise $10,000 which is approximately one half of the cost to the national church to support a missionary for one year.  I am asking for your prayers and spiritual support as I go forward on this journey and if you wish to support me financially I would greatly appreciate it!  Checks can be made out to All Saints’ Church with “YASC Christen” in the memo.  Please see me, Rev. Barrington or Lynne Grillo with any questions or for more information.

Yours in Christ,

Christen Mills

Refugee Immigration Ministry (RIM)

Iraqi Family: The Chelmsford Cluster is planning to sponsor another Iraqi refugee family who do not have any relatives in the USA.  They will be living in Lowell; we will help furnish their apartment and have agreed to help them settle in, find work and learn how to live in a new country.  We do not know when they will arrive, but we expect it may be in the next month (the date is set by the UN and the State department.  We will be given about a two-week notice.)  Right now Rev. Tom is our representative to the Chelmsford Cluster.  He is looking for one or two others who will be willing to assist him as we help sponsor this new refugee family.  Please contact him if you are interested at asctom@gis.net.

RIM in Chelmsford: The Chelmsford Cluster or RIM includes Trinity Lutheran Church, First Baptist Church of Chelmsford, Central Congregational

Church in Chelmsford, the Congregational Church of Billerica, All Saints’ Church and a few other individuals.

All Saints’ Youth Participating in the DownEast Maine Mission Trip

Our youth are once again joining youth from Chelmsford Central Congregational Church in the DownEast Maine mission trip this August.  Similar to the West Virgini a work camp, the DownEast Maine Mission provides needed repairs to homes in the poorest county in New England.  The youth give up a week of their summer to make a difference in these people’s lives.  Christy Brodeur and Frank Thompson are returning to Maine this year after seeing their impact last year.  Joining them is Meredith Kuzara, a frequent WV work camper who finds this important enough to skip a family vacation to join this mission.  Also joining is Alex Forsberg, who without details decided this was what he wanted to do this summer.  I, Mike Thompson, will be joining them as an adult worker on my first mission trip.

The Maine mission is entirely donation-driven, and we are asking our parishioners to help in any way they can.  There are several ways to support this mission outlined below, if you are able.  Please keep us in your prayers for a safe trip, good weather and making a difference in someone’s life.

Meals in Maine for the Lubec Mission Trip!

There is much excitement and anticipation among our youth as we plan the mission trip to DownEast Maine.  We have over 25 mission workers signed up to serve those in DownEast Maine this year.  We are exploring the different gifts and skills our groups have to offer, allowing the team in Maine to match us up with appropriate projects.  As we have in the past, we supply and cook all our own meals and the kids are in charge of the menu.

Communal meals will be an integral part of the trip.  In past years, members of our church have been sponsors of the meals and the sponsorships have gone quickly.  There is an additional responsibility – the sponsoring person or family needs to write a prayer or inspirational message to go with that meal.  We will do all the shopping, preparing, and cooking; we just need your contribution and prayers.

We hope you will support our trip by sponsoring one of the 17 meals:  6 breakfasts, 5 lunches, or 6 dinners.  The average cost for each breakfast is $25, for each lunch $35, and for each dinner $50.  In addition, and most importantly, we ask that you also send along a prayer or inspirational message for us to read as we sit down to the food that you so generously provided for us through your donation.  Any help you can provide us is wonderful and will definitely be appreciated by our hungry mission workers.  Molly Duggan is coordinating meals-sponsorship.  To sponsor a meal, please contact her at 978-256-7756 or email cmduggan@comcast.net to specify which meal you would like to sponsor.  Checks can be made payable to “Central Congregational Church” with “Lubec Mission Trip” in the memo.  Please send your check and the prayer or inspirational message to: Molly Duggan, 126 Concord Rd., Chelmsford, MA 01824.

Blessings in a T-shirt and Sock Drive

We will again be running a T-shirt and Sock drive before our trip.  Last year we provided over 350 T-shirts and pairs of socks to migrant workers in Lubec ME.  These workers pick blueberries all day, getting covered with insecticides.  Having spare socks and shirts means they can wash their clothes in the evening and let them dry during the day while they work.  T-shirts can be new or used.  If you know anyone with a business that supplies T-shirts to their workers or many may have older promotional T-shirts that won't be used, we would love to have them.  Check your closets and drawers, any will do.  Socks will be new, even one pair is great.  If you can help us it would be greatly appreciated.  We will have donation boxes in the Narthex for drop-off.

Donations - for a donation-supported mission

All materials used by the Chelmsford group are purchased with donated funds, collected by the youth.  The youth will be writing letters to their friends and family, explaining the mission and their reasons for participating.  I’m asking for support from you, their extended family.  We’ll be collecting donations at coffee hour in the coming weeks.  Please seek out our young people and offer your support.  Checks can be made out to “Central Congregational Church” with “Lubec Mission Trip” in the memo line, and can be given directly to the youth or to me or left at the parish office.  Our theme is "The Power of One" from the movie "Pay it Forward" … Please help our youth pay it forward.

Thank you for all of your support, from all the people going to Maine!

Thank you,

Mike Thompson

 

Resources for the Month for May

Thank you to Margaret Geanisis for sharing these finds.

Book of the Month: 

Link available through Amazon.com

Water, Wind, Earth & Fire:  the Christian practice of praying with the elements, by Christine Painter
In a warm, personable manner, Painter, a Benedictine oblate and spiritual director, invites the reader to engage creation as a sacred text by prayerfully exploring theological dimensions of the elements.

Drawing on Celtic tradition, Painter explores religious and cultural symbolism; for example, water's associations with the direction west, the season autumn, and its physical forms and spiritual dimensions, such as tides, thirst, tears, baptism.  Suggestions for reflection and action include the application of lectio divina, a practice of sacred reading typically used with scripture, to nature, encouraging the reader to listen deeply for the stirring of the holy in sacred texts around us.  In each chapter, Painter offers reflections on her prayer life during the book's composition, demonstrating how she applied the spiritual practices she suggests (such as lighting a candle when contemplating Fire).

Quotes from scripture, poets, essayists, and Christian mystics encourage the reader to seek divine revelation and comprehension of God's love for all creation by cultivating a contemplative relationship to nature.  Simple and powerful, this book will be a welcome new resource for individuals and groups seeking spiritual connection to creation.

Music Choice for the Month:

A Company of Voices- Conspirare in Concert

by Conspirare, Craig Hella Johnson, Bion Tsang, Thumas Buritt, and Barber.

Recommended by Maggie Marshall:  "I had known nothing about them, but it is an interesting compilation of sacred and secular, flawless voices, and varied instrumental accompaniment." 

And, from another source:  Nominated for Best Classical Crossover Album, this release of Conspirare in Concert was also aired on PBS.  "Elegant and provocative.  Virtuosic singing." - Houston Chronicle.

Website of the Month:
www.womenoffaith.com

Women of Faith is a faith-based women’s organization encouraging women of all ages and stages in life to grow in faith and spiritual maturity through a relationship with Jesus Christ and an understanding of God’s love and grace.

Our Message: Beyond a shadow of a doubt, God loves you – regardless of where you are in life.

Our Approach: Humor and honesty – real women sharing how God helps them deal with real issues.

Our Objective: To see women set free to a lifestyle of God’s grace by offering events, books, resources, and publications.

My first introduction to this group was at one of their weekend events - and it was a wonderful, uplifting event for me.  Their website has a wonderful Blog section which includes newsletters, stories, daily inspiration and Women of faith blog pages.  There is also a shopping section with Christian books, CD's of well known female Christian vocalists, clothing and other gifts items.

There is a book club with a book of the month, and you can become a member and receive their small monthly magazine and weekly inspirited writings.  There is also a section to sign up for their Inspiration Tour Weekends - which come to New England once a year.  Some of you may be familiar with two of their contributors - Anita Renfroe and Sandy Patti.  Their faith is expressed in a traditional, non-political, ecumenical way.

Kenyan Partners

Elsewhere in this issue, we are reminded to support a mission in Maine with the gift of food and prayers.

Our planned mission to Kenya has been derailed in that ever-rising air fares are now an obstacle to the trip.  We do however need to keep in our prayers the needs of this even more distant parish, set in a land where elections are contested, and election results are contested, and the results are so calamitous that people die violent deaths in riots and demonstrations.  In the language of the Shrek movies, it is another Far, Far Away, but in Kenya services like electricity, water, food, education, medicine and police protection come at impossible prices.  Men and women die of preventable diseases; children often grow up without their parents.  All Saints’ Church helps sponsor the cost of food at the parish orphan feeding program where the meals are not plentiful, and have on occasion been withheld because security was a prime concern.

As we remember these daily struggles in our own adopted village in Far, Far Away, we should remember also the Orphan Feeding Program and Phanice Otenyi, their chairlady.

Oft in danger, oft in woe

Onward Christians, onward go.

Bear the toil, maintain the strife

Strengthened with the Bread of Life.

 

 


Help Lines

Many of us have stood in line in banks in order to receive cash, out of our own accounts.  In a particularly long line, once, I noticed how many people had become very impatient.  This made me wonder about the value of our worth: since we were not all millionaires (update that to “billionaires” in today’s times), quite obviously we were supposed to wait for what was ours.  Our time was not all that well regarded!

Waiting is inevitable in many places: the supermarket, the doctor’s office, a favorite restaurant, the bus stop, the traffic lights, the check-in line at the airport, the departures gate at the airport.  Unless we are very special people, we wait.

This tells us something about our worth in the world of commerce.

As I was waiting in line in church to receive Communion, I once recalled how we as “birds of the air” (i.e., Gentiles, although what came to mind was vultures) were waiting to take just a little of the Body of Christ, who had died for us, so that “we might live in Him, and He in us.”  We all behaved, and waited.  It seemed the thing to do, for a people who are in this world, but called to be a beacon to the next.  We should be poor enough spiritually to endure the wait in humbleness.

How very comforting to know that through our prayers, God gets to hear our prayers without any wait at all, and I doubt that our heavenly Father would want this any other way: Alleluia!
