Maryly’s Musings

The one who plants and the one who waters have a common purpose, and each wil lreceive wages according to the labors of each. For we are God’s servants, working

together; you are God’s f i eld, God’s building. 1 Corinthians 3:9

Surprising and wonderful things happen. In thefall of 2006, right after the North ValleyEpiscopal Ministry (NVEM) began, I received acall from The Rev. Eric Duff, then director ofEpiscopal Community Services. Our companiondiocese, the Diocese of Honduras, was sending adeacon to visit the diocese for six months. Ericasked if we would be interested in hosting TheRev. Olga Barrera during part of her stay in ourdiocese.

In August of that year, we welcomed Olga whoshared about her experiences as headschoolmistress for an Episcopal elementaryschool and as Deacon of the Episcopal Church,both in the coastal city of Tela. Olga describedher Central American country showing picturesrevealing its extreme poverty and giving a briefnarrative history. Despite its struggles, with fewresources and a small number of priests anddeacons, the Diocese of Honduras is the fastestgrowing diocese in the Episcopal Church.

Olga had a vision for developing cottageindustries or micro-businesses that would benefitthose who worked for the projects and tithingfrom its profits to the local Episcopal Church.We were honored to have Olga visit with us, herfaith and enthusiasm inspiring and delightful. Ilater wrote to Bishop Allen of the Diocese ofHonduras that Olga was truly an ambassador ofChrist.

During Olga’s second visit last November, weheard about the newly developing projects in

Tela - a cooking group baking cupcakes andlearning recipes under the guidance of a localchef, and a quilt sewing bee. There are plans tostart a beading group making jewelry and otheritems. Starting small, each provides the learningof new skills and income to poor families.Besides helping locally, there is greater potential.The projects can be replicated elsewhere acrossthe Diocese of Honduras.

Olga also told us about the school, its new libraryand auditorium. We enjoyed pictures of the firstchildren’s summer camp in Tela, developed withthe help of our diocese. The camp will continueyear to year.

It is wonderful seeing so many ideas coming tofruition, all in the service of Christ. Gladly wereceived the news from Bishop Allen that Olgawould be ordained soon.

Several from our diocese are travelling to Tela,Honduras, for the ordination to the priesthoodof Olga on February 5th. Marvin and Gail Locke,and I will be taking donations from ourcongregation - gifts, cupcake tins and papers,beads and special tools, school supplies andbooks, and sewing material. Thank you for yourgenerosity and care.

Please pray for us as we travel to Tela, for Olgaas she is ordained to the priesthood, and for theChurch and school in Tela as they continue toflourish through the inspiration of the HolySpirit.

What If ’s

What if we could

engage the entire

congregation in

“doing” ministry?

What if we could

shake them loose

from saying,

“Why doesn’t the

priest do that?”

to saying

“Why don’t we

do that?”

Embracing Total Ministry through Adult Studies

St. Peter’s will move forward in the upcoming year, embracing the concept ofTotal Ministry. A variety of adult studies continue to explore incorporatingTotal Ministry into the lives of those worshiping at St. Peter’s. Total Ministrycan be difficult to define, but crucial to growing as a congregation and in ourfaith as we reach out to those within and outside of our church walls.

The Winter 2010 diocesan magazine Together in Mission describes TotalMinistry in a succinct way: “Involving the congregation in the congregationmeans that we educate about the baptismal covenant, help the individualparishioner to find his or her ministry, and then give that individualpermission to actually engage in it. It is changing the state of mind of thecongregation and its leadership from focusing on the clergy’s role to focusingon everyone’s role.” (For a more in depth exploration of Total Ministry andits impact throughout the diocese pick up your copy of Together in Mission,available in the Parish Hall.)

With this philosophy in mind, St. Peter’s is offering a variety of adult studiesfor exploration and enrichment. Please consider taking part in one or more ofthese opportunities.

Join the Sunday Bible Study weekly following the coffee hour in the ParishHall.

Our Shared Journey: The Shared Learning Group gathers the thirdSunday evening of each month. The Rev. Diana Luckert and The Rev. MarylyAdair will lead discussions at 5:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall. A light supper willaccompany discussion about the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives.

On the first Wednesday of each month, the Prayer and Care Gatheringmeets at 10:45 a.m. at Marsh Cottage. A meditation precedes prayers forthose in need. This group gathers following the Holy Communion andHealing Service at 10:00 a.m.

Donation to PATH Shelter Sought

[Excerpts from PATH Newsletter - Jan 2011] The number of homelessvaried from 8-10 at the beginning of December to 38-43 toward the end ofthe month. One night the shelter ran out of beds, blankets and pillows.Another night, not enough dinner plates were available.

If anyone has more Corelle dinner plates or blankets they’d like to donateplease contact Shelter Manager, Bonnie Martin, at 776-7165.

The Poor and the Homeless, is proposing to build a 40-bed homeless shelterthat would operate year round, PATH President Alene Dering said. The sitebecame available when the property owners offered to sell the property toPATH.

Several people involved in PATH, either as volunteers or past or presentadministration, spoke in favor of having a permanent shelter.

Having their own shelter will allow PATH to better serve the homeless, saidPam Klein, PATH’s event and fundraiser coordinator. “We need a place sowe can help these people not be homeless,” she said. “It’s a place we need tohave so that we can educate and work with these people not just feed them.”

The pastors from St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and the Presbyterian Church,two of several local churches that provide shelter space, said they would liketo see PATH build a permanent shelter. Their church members would belikely to teach courses to help the homeless learn life-changing skills, but thatwould only happed if there was a place the homeless could stay during theday instead of on the streets.

Annual meeting time! We elect, appoint, volunteerand beg. Somehow people come to the forefrontto fill the jobs needed to carry on. In our smallcongregations, those who are able do their partand more. Some of us that aren’t as able dosomething else, and there are those who used todo it.

As we look at the year past we try to asses how weare doing. Unfortunately, one of the benchmarksused is how much money we have. We budget,spend wisely, and sacrifice.

The currency that is often overlooked is “HolyCurrency”; and that currency is something we havein abundance at Holy Trinity.

We have currencies of quality leadership,currencies of faith, currencies of wellness,currencies of time and place in addition to thecurrencies of money.

Those Holy Currencies are the ones we try tostock up, in the big bank in the sky

Don't get me wrong, we need the GeorgeWashington kind of currency to keep our doorsopen, pay bills and so forth. But that other money,the Holy dollars, is what we pay out of the pocketsof our heart.

Cheap enough for the gift of . . .
