Editor’s Note

Puppets are found in every culture. While the general definition of a

puppet is that of an object manipulated by someone, the history of

puppets is in fact a long and varied one. While today they are widely

considered to be entertainment for children, more and more people

are discovering that puppets have always held a fascination for people

all ages.

While it is impossible to be certain, puppetry had its birthplace in India almost a thousand years B.C. From

this era, you can find stick puppets that were used to play out Indian epics like Maha-Bharata and the Bala-

Ramayana. These puppet shows described very sacred and beloved stories. This aspect of puppetry would be

continued by Indonesians, with their use of the walang puppets. The Indonesian puppet shows would open

with a speech from a holy person and were treated with a certain degree of seriousness.

Centuries later, Japanese bunraku puppets were replacing human actors on the stage. Legend has it that a

famous playwright grew tired of actors demands and so he replaced them with wood puppets.

In Europe, puppets were no less popular. In many places puppets were used to act out morality plays, acting

in ways that would never have been acceptable for humans to behave.

It was during the 16th

century that puppetry flourished in Italy. Many serious plays were produced using

puppets. Puppets were upgraded from two strings and a rod to controls that included as many as eight

strings, giving the puppets a wider range of movement. One particularly famous puppet, Mr. Punch, can trace

its roots to the 16th

century Italian Neapolitan character of Pulcinella, which was Anglicized to Punchinello.

He is a manifestation of the Lord of Misrule and Tr ickster figures of deep-rooted mythologies. Punch’s wife

was originally named Joan, but we know her now as Judy.

The first recorded appearance of a “Punch and Judy” show in England was on May 9th

1662. In the British

Punch and Judy show, Punch wears a jester’s motley and is a hunchback whose hooked nose almost meets his

curved jutting chin. He carries a stick, as large as himself, which he freely uses upon all the other characters in

the show. He speaks in a distinctive squawking voice, produced by a contrivance known as a swazzle or

swatchel which the puppeteer holds in his mouth. So importan t is Mr. Punch’s signature sound that it is a

matter of some controversy within Punch and Judy circles as to whether a “non-swazzled” show can be

considered a true Punch and Judy Show.

I can remember as a child, being at the seaside watching a Punch and Judy show. I must say that on reflection

that I found the experience quite disturbing. The sight of Mr. Punch freely hitting everybody, including his

wife Judy with that big stick until they were dead does not constitute entertainment for me. Politically

incorrect as it may be, a visit to the seaside would not be complete without standing on the beach and

watching this spectacle.

Over the years puppets have taken many forms. They include hand and finger puppets,

stick puppets, shadow puppets, the classic marionette, ventriloquist dummies, and

more recently full figured characters such a “Big Bird” from Sesame Street.

The late Jim Henson created the many characters that appeared on the

Children’s Television Workshops production Sesame Street.

These characters have educated and entertained us for over 30 years.

I hope you enjoy this edition of your newsletter dedicated to puppets.

“God raised Jesus from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge ofrunning the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and nopower exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being but forever. [JesusChrist] is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the centre of all this,Christ rules the church. The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; theworld is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaksand acts, and by which he fills everything with this presence. [Ephesians 1.22-23The Message]

We have just celebrated the Feast of Pentecost [31 May], which is often referred to as“the Birthday of the Church”. At that time, the spreading of the Holy Spirit through thedisciples, transformed them from a frightened group of individuals to a bold body ofbelievers. The Holy Spirit gave a variety of gifts to the various members empoweringthem to better witness to Jesus Christ in the world [see: Luke 24.9, Acts 1.8]

The Church is not an organization, nor a static physical building. TheChurch is people, marked as Christ’s own forever, who accept Jesus asSaviour, acknowledge Him as Lord, and who are gifted by the Holy Spiritto be the Body of Christ. According to Peter, we are a “spiritual house”built with “living stones” [see: 1 Peter 2.5]

‘In Christ’s body we’re all connected to each other, after all [Ephesians 4.25b The Message].

And we need each other. The mark of believers is our interdependenceand community. Each person, and all of our gifts, are necessary for thewholeness of the Body of Christ and so that we can be about our Lord’smission here in Huntsville, and beyond, in the world. In order to live out our mission asworshipers of the living God who hear, proclaim and live His Word, and in love bringpeople to Jesus, and to be the people and the Church that God has created us to be,let us take to heart the words of St Paul who wrote:

“I...beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with alllowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is onebody and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; oneLord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, andthrough all and in all.” [Ephesians 4.1-6]

Yours in the love of Jesus Christ our risen Lord and Saviour,

A MESSAGE FROM THE WARDENS

THERE IS A CRACK... THERE IS A CRACK IN EVERYTHING... IT'S HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN.

LEONARD COHEN

We welcome summer, the warm breeze, fresh leaves, birds and the laughter of children as we

embrace a new season.

The church on a hill called All Saints'.

Worship, prayer, baptism, community, weddings, funerals, peace, reconciliation, love, inner growth,

acceptance, hope, stewardship, faith, united.

What makes this possible?

Not the church itself for it is only a structure. A beautiful one yes but only a structure.

Many say it looks like an upside down ship or even an ark. The beauty is within the walls, in the

pews, and at the pulpit.

The people make the church thrive with their gifts, talents and commitment to our lord and fellow

parishioners.

We thank each of you for all that is done to make our church on a hill a better place.

None of these things would be possible without the passion and commitment you continually

share. Thank you!!

We strive to keep the lines of communication open, for it is the only way to grow as one body in

Christ.

People at times disagree, as every relationship takes work, and some take a new path. That is our

choice, our freedom.

Our church is a family that must continue to communicate in a constructive and positive manner.

Reach out with your hearts and minds, look around and see...

We are truly blessed and should not take this for granted. This is our church, our family. We invite

you to keep this relationship strong and communicate with each other and walk the same path.

We are here for you and we thank you for your support in the challenges that lie before us.

AS WORSHIPERS OF THE LIVING GOD

We hear, proclaim and LIVE HIS WORD;

and in love bring people to Jesus.

LET THE LIGHT SHINE IN!

God Bless!

THE ROAD AHEAD

As many members of our Parish will know, The Diocese of Algoma has gone through a Strategic Planning

exercise during the past two years. This Plan has now been completed and has been approved by the

Executive Committee of the Diocese. While there are many initiatives contained in the Strategic Plan, its

main thrust is to ensure “healthy” Parishes throughout Algoma. All Saints’ is one of the larger parishes in Algoma and we have much to offer in our own community and

in our wider Christian family. However, we too have our challenges and as a Parish we need to

determine where we are going and what opportunities we have to enhance our ministry and to enrich

and grow our congregation. For this reason, last Fall, the Rector and Wardens instituted a planning process for All Saints’ Church

which we are calling “The Road Ahead”. After a somewhat rough start, two very constructive meetings

were held over the winter and a good basis has been created to begin the planning process. We are now

ready to move forward with a formal strategic planning process that hopefully will produce a blueprint

for our Parish and help us determine, who we are, who we want to be, what we want to accomplish and

what resources we need to be successful. A short presentation about the Strategic Planning Process will be given at both services on Sunday, June

7th

. The Strategic Planning Committee will meet on Saturday mornings, from 10:30 until Noon on the

following dates: June 13th

, June 27th

, July 18th

, August 1st

, August 15th

and August 29th

. While we have

a core committee, any member of the parish is welcome to participate in the planning process. However

as there is an important flow to this process, it will be necessary for any participant to commit to attend

the majority of the planning sessions and not just one or two meetings. Part of the Road Ahead Strategic Planning process will be consultation with members of the Parish,

likely in the form of a questionnaire. In addition, on Saturday, September 5th

there will be a Parish

“Retreat” for all members of All Saints’ at which time the DRAFT Strategic Plan will be presented for

discussion and for input.

PLEASE MARK THIS DATE IN YOUR CALENDAR! My hope is that as many of you as possible will participate in some manner, as we embark on this

exciting journey for our Parish. If you have any questions or suggestions concerning this process, please

do not hesitate to contact me at 789-2690.

News from Betty… A Good News Bulletin!

Congratulations to The Rev. Mal & Ruth Binks and the people of St. John's Church, Sault Ste.

Marie. When Mal & Ruth went to St. John's, the church was carrying a debt of just over

$25,000 to the Diocese, with talk of closing the church. Under Mal's leadership, attendance

and givings increased. A serious fund-raising campaign raised sufficient funds to pay off the

debt, with the paper being burned on Holy Saturday. Well done folks!

ALL SAINTS' TEENS -- Congratulations to Roland Tusz, and Elizabeth Kitching, Roland, chosen as Rotary Exchange

Student will have the thrill of experiencing life in Argentina for a year. Elizabeth, as part of the Huntsville High

School History Class, travelled to Egypt in the spring, with Gail Tusz as one of the chaperones. At time of writing

both these young people are in New York City with the High School Band, along with Louis Tusz. It was hoped that

both would have submissions in this month's Parish News, but I suspect that may be put over to a future issue. Fifty people from All Saints' attended the 7th annual Mayors of Muskoka Prayer Breakfast April 18th at Deerhurst

Resort. This year's speaker was Dave Toycen, President and C.E.O. of World Vision. Ches and I have attended all of

these breakfasts, and like all previous speakers, Mr. Toycen's message held everyone's attention. In that his talk

was all about children, it was fitting that there were two 10-yr-olds in our group - Carly Kennedy and Oliver Orofino,

and for this we thank Patty Payne. I cannot adequately express my admiration for the small group of dedicated

business and professional men who put on this breakfast. They meet weekly for prayer and Bible study, while

quietly going about their good works within their community and beyond. For me, it is the highlight of the year,

and I happen to think EVERYONE should attend. Attendance this year was a record 450 people of various faith

groups within Muskoka. Mr. Toycen's book, The Power of Generosity is a must read.

I suggest you look for Pauline Luca’s excellent article in the current Algoma Anglican.

The Wizard of Oz, a recent joint production of the Huntsville Festival of the Arts and

the Huntsville Rotary Club, involved a number of All Saints' people. On stage were four

of our young people - Claire and Marina Tusz, Harper Smith and Millie Cassie-Bachelor.

Behind the scenes were Sherisse Stevens, Zelda Dwyer, Ashley West, Rob & Beth

Saunders, Beth Wright, Barb Hutcheson and Don McCormick. Congratulations everyone

for a wonderful evening of entertainment, again showing us how truly blessed we are to

live in Huntsville.

May 7th we had a short but pleasant visit with Marjorie Brandt who now resides at Leisure world in Orillia.

Bright and cheery, when told that Marjorie Locke had been at A.C.W. Deanery Meeting in Emsdale the previous

day, her eyes positively shone. Both Marjories were Life Members of W.A., forerunner of A.C.W. Their

friendship goes back a long way and memories such as this are well locked in! Taylor and Mari Pryce joined us

for lunch in Barrie, and sent greetings to friends at All Saints'.

PWRDF Malaria accounts for more than a million deaths world

wide each year, of which over 80% occur in Sub-Sahara

Africa. There are an estimated 240-300 million cases of

malaria in Africa each year resulting in approximately

900,000 deaths. 20% of all deaths of children under five

years of age are attributed to malaria.

Malaria and HIV are two of the most devastating global health problems of our time. To a considerable extent these

two diseases overlap geographically and Sub-Saharan Africa carries a high burden of both diseases. Both diseases

place a substantial strain on health services and malaria costs Africa about US$12 billion a year in direct losses such

as illness, treatment, and premature death. These numbers have a big impact on economic growth and human

development.

Malaria is a preventable disease. The most effective way of preventing malaria is through the systematic use of

mosquito nets. In every country in Africa, there are now in the market, treated mosquito nets that will protect

children and adults from the bites of malaria-carrying mosquitoes. A LLIN (Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Mosquito

Net) or a simple regular bed net hung around the bed creates a barrier against mosquitoes at night. Picture: Nella and her little girl Yolanda benefited from a malaria education and prevention program implemented

by SALAMA, a PWRDF partner in Mozambique.

A treated net will last approximately 3 to 5 years at a

cost of US $10 each. Non-treated nets cost about

$5.00 each. PWRDF funds Health Integrated

Programs in Burundi, Mozambique and Tanzania,

some of the countries most affected by malaria. All

the integrated health programs have malaria

education and prevention components. As part of

the education, the population is taught how to

prevent malaria by maintaining a clean compound,

disposal of garbage, and correct use of bed nets. PWRDF is also encouraging partners and making resources

available for treated mosquito net distribution to vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and children

under the age of five and people living with HIV/AIDS. Joy Lewis

The Parish Advisory Council has met three times since the vestry meeting. We are grateful to have the following PAC

members, Winston Smith, Heinz Schmidt, Katherine Ford, Bonnie Nunn, Pat Merson, Phil Merson, Darrel Lawson,

Grant Nickalls, Tom Peppiatt, Terri-Lyn Magee, Patty Payne, Joy Lewis, Linda Klodnicki, Andy Martinolich and Sue

Dixon. PAC is also grateful to have Fr. Don and Ven. Dawn around our table.

In order to keep our mission statement foremost on our minds we've agreed to have it on all agendas and minutes of

meetings. PAC meetings also include asking those around the table if they are aware of a parishioner with a pastoral

need. We encourage all members of our parish to share their concerns and hopes with any member of the Advisory

Board for our discussion, that way we can all work together for an even better parish.

Discussion items so far have been around the many reports we receive at the table i.e. treasuerers report, outreach

report, welcoming report, rector's report and pastoral care report. Phil Merson has submitted extensive reports from

the property committee and Ed Wilms joined our last meeting as a guest speaker, thank you Ed. Meg Giller was a

guest speaker for our discussion about the stage, thank-you Meg. We have also discussed using hand sanitizer in the

church.

There is also some work going on in drafting objectives for the PAC. We look forward to a productive year and thank

everyone on the committee for their hard work and dedication.

All Saints’ support the efforts of the Huntsville Uhuru Grandmothers: The order of Kazuri jewellery has arrived –

made by women in Africa who are paid for their work, creating jobs where they live. This jewellery is quite

special, of many designs and colours. It is a popular fund raising event for “Grannie” groups. [Find the picture on

the bulletin board in the narthex]. It will be on sale at various events throughout the summer, with a special

event in the fall. Watch for it! Come to see it! Buy it for special people! [funds raised support the Stephen Lewis

Foundation program of support to Grandmothers raising Grandchildren]. Always Hopeful,

Katharine Ford, Chair.

St. Jude’s Cathedral is Going Up! (a Project in Progress) The Anglican Cathedral of St. Jude’s, Iqualuit, Nunavut was designed by famous Canadian architect, Ron Thom. It

was built in 1972 by volunteers and could seat 250 people. Sadly, in November 2005 it was burned so badly it had

to be demolished. Beautiful hand sewn tapestries and had-crafted items were lost too. A new design retains the best elements of the original, while meeting modern standards AND the growing need of

a growing community. There will be seating for 430 people and room for a future balcony. It will include a

Sunday School room, choir room, nursery, sacristy, offices AND washrooms (not in the previous building). This

radiant new structure, which mimics the natural environment, will host more outreach programs, community

gatherings as well as being a spiritual home for all Anglicans across the Diocese of the Arctic. The arson and demolition of the Cathedral has left deep impressions on Anglicans and others across the country.

The Cathedral is being constructed as funds are raised. Friends are “inching” closer to the target of $6.5M but

$3.5M is still needed. If an additional $250,000.00 is raised prior to June 15, 2009 materials will be ordered to

complete the roofing. Construction will be covered with plywood and tarps to protect this project against winter

weather.

The Anglican Church has always been an integral part of the community in Iqualuit. The landscape where the

Cathedral stood is strangely quiet – no bells ringing on Sunday mornings to call people to worship. The cross,

which stood high on top of the dome, no longer shines a beacon of light during long dark hours of winter. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED TO “REKINDLE A NORTHERN LIGHT” Donate to: The Diocese of the Arctic, P.O. Box 190, Yellowknife, NT. X1A 2N2 or online through the Diocese of the

Arctic at Canadahelps.org . Tax receipts will be issued for donations. For further information visit:

www.arcticnet.org

HOPE is eternal, Katharine Ford.

(Maundy Thursday), with the youth attending the church service, following with a "Movie Night"

featuring "Ice Age" animation, with refreshments of pizza, popcorn and juice, held in Lower Sutherland

Hall.

Next was a family outing event, at Pioneer Camp for the "Maple Syrup" run, where parents and

children both enjoyed the tour and m-m-m good! maple syrup taffy pull and hot cakes with hot syrup

and hot chocolate. We have had a very good turn out for these events.

Our next meeting was a planning meeting, on a Wednesday night 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. and with it we got an idea of

how the youth could share their love of God, through their Church, Home family life, Community, and in the World

and better themselves and their faith. Games and refreshments and crafts were also enjoyed that evening.

Another meeting was an information night for the youth to learn how they can better their community, and the

children in the world by collecting Campbell product Labels to support a local Anglican camp; collect stamps for the

Bible Society to provide bibles for others; and collect the outer milk bags to have women's groups crochet them

into bug repelling bed mats for children in Third World countries, sometimes the milk bags are used for making

backpacks for children to carry their school supplies in. The youth made a poster, hanging in the

narthex, to remind members to help the youth collect these items for their project. This will be an ongoing

project, paralleling with the ACW efforts. Our upcoming themes and activities for the coming months of May and up to June 17th are: getting to know one

another (a "show and tell" night where the children get to express themselves; interests, or hobbies); a movie

night; planting seeds, and a craft pertaining to the volunteer night scheduled for Tues. June 9th (see below); a

couple of guest speaker nights and making a Father's day gift.

The youth will receive a bead to put on a necklace for memorizing a bible verse, as well as earning other colored

beads for "good turns i.e. for sharing, helping out at the meeting or at home or in the community, etc."

If your children are coming out they are to bring their own unbreakable, reuseable mug or cup for their drink in a

plastic/reuseable bag (to return home with them-we think "green"!) and remember to save and bring any outer

milk bags, Campbell product labels, or used envelopes with stamps on them.

PARENTS: The Jr. Youth group is planning on volunteering to help the horticultural Society plant flowers on

Main Street on Tuesday, June 9th from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. This is a volunteer activity, (worth two beads on

their necklace!), and the children don't have to stay the whole two hours, just a half an hour to an hours time

would be helpful. They can drop by anytime from 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. IN FRONT OF THE ALGONQUIN THEATRE,

bringing with them a hand trowel, and the garden gloves they will make the week before, on June 3rd. A

permission form is to be signed for this event.

Our position or spot to plant I've been told is the planter in front of the CIBC bank building, and one other spot?

The adults from the horticultural Society will be paired up with the youth so the parents don't have to attend if

they can't or don't want to. I NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY ARE COMING! SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Refreshments will be served that evening. ALSO: The meetings for the Jr. Youth have been on various nights (Wednesday/Thursdays), starting at different

times. I realize other extra curricular activities are beginning now. It would be helpful to receive a response from

each family who has children in the age range of 5 - 11 years on what days of the week and times is best suited for

them, so I may prepare for the appropriate numbers. Helpers are also needed for the meeting nights. Could you

volunteer here?

We have only Wednesday, Thursday, some Fridays, or certain times during the afternoon on Saturdays or Sundays

available to work with. All this depends upon whether or not no hall rentals are scheduled. If this happens, then

we may be moved into the Sunday school area in the church basement. I am flexible with times of after school 4:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. OR the regular meeting time of 6:15 p.m. - 7:45 p.m.

Please phone me or email me with your responses, both to your child's availability for the Tuesday. June 9th 4:00 -

6:00 p.m. volunteering time with the Horticultural Society.... and your CHOICE OF MEETING DAY AND TIME.

The Jr. Youth Group meetings are promising to be lots of fun-filled socializing evenings with various games and

activities, including crafts, healthy snacks and theme nights, in a Christian setting. Remember, we will have special

nights, i.e. movie nights, guest speakers, theme parties, special events, etc. till June 17th, 2009 Please let me know A.S.A.P. either by phone 789-4319 (please leave a message)

or email me at: [email protected]

Pastoral Care

The team has delivered 7 prayer shawls since the last newsletter. Many thanks to those who make the prayer

shawls, all who receive them, appreciate them. In case you didn't know parishioners pray for peace, love, comfort

and healing when they make the shawls, the shawls are beautiful and no two are the same.

There have been two funeral roses delivered since the last newsletter. There have been several deliveries of cookies

(thanks to Joy Biggar and Beryl Frow for their baking). There have also been 8 deliveries of meals to parishioners.

The team has made 21 phone visits since the last newsletter, this allows parishioners who cannot make it to church a

part of our parish family.

Pastoral care was able to make up over 80 Easter Remembrances thanks to Patrice Seheult who made up the cards

and the altar guild for custom making the palm crosses to accomodate the remembrances. Some Remembrances

were mailed and many hand delivered to Fairvern, Muskoka Landing, Muskoka Traditions, Roger's Cove and

Huntsville Hospital. Other than the delivery of Easter Remembrances there were 21 visits to Fairvern, 8 to Muskoka

Landing, 10 to Roger's Cove and 5 to Huntsville Hospital.

Pastoral care sent out over 37 “thinking of you” cards since the last newsletter, many thanks to Thomas Clark who

looks after these cards. Sympathy cards are also sent (thanks to Pat Merson) and one year anniversary bereavement

cards (thanks to Diane Noon, who took over for Beryl Munroe).

Many bulletins and newsletters are delivered to parishioners unable to attend church and these deliveries are

accompanied by visits as well.

If you are aware of a parishioner needing a visit, card, prayers or prayer shawl, please contact Sue Dixon.

Christian Comment: Be Thankful I SUPPOSE under the present serious economic and really difficult conditions so many people are experiencing, that

to submit a Christian Comment on to BE THANKFUL, might be a little adventurous. However, some time ago a Christian colleague from overseas, sent me the following words and I thought they just

might help us all at the present time:

• If you woke up this morning with more health than illness…you are more blessed than the million who won’t

survive this week.

• If you’ve never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or

the pangs of starvation…you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

• If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death…you are more

blessed than three billion people in the world.

• If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish some place…you are among the

top eight percent of the worlds wealthy.

• If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep…you are

richer than 75 percent of this world.

• If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful…you are blessed because the

majority can, but most do not.

So, keep smiling and BE THANKFUL.
