Announcements

From Fr. Michael On the day after Christmas an unusual

commemoration took place at Christ Church. A single bell tolled slowly thirty‐eight times in solemn remembrance of the 38 Dakota warriors who, on this date 150 years earlier, were hanged in Mankato (resulting in a loss of life that remains the largest mass execu‐tion in US history). The sound of the solitary bell was haunting and, perhaps for most lis‐teners, inexplicable. How many people in Red Wing that morning stopped what they were doing for a moment and wondered what those crazy Episcopalians were up to? The truth is that there hasn’t been nearly enough media attention giv‐en to the anniversary that our bell was commemorating; so perhaps most people were a little mystified by our humble remembrance. Still, this was an important anniversary for our church to acknowledge.

The 38 deaths we recalled were symbolic of much larger numbers – num‐bers that extend to the hundreds of those Dakota and white settlers/soldiers who died during the war between them, but also to numbers that rise to the millions and billions of deaths that have occurred throughout our world, throughout our history, and continue on to this very day because we refuse to regard all people as our neighbors. We are committed to love of neighbor – this is a fundamental aspect of our faith. Our neighbors, like each of us, have within their hearts the spark of the Divine, for we were all created in God’s image. The 38 deaths of the Dakota warriors are a reminder to us of the ugliness and cruelty that we can visit upon each other whenever we for‐get to see that God is present in everything and everyone.

In our often dark and broken world, we tend to eye the stranger, the ene‐my, the “other” with cold suspicion and are selfish and exclusive in our sharing of God’s love. But it doesn’t have to be that way! In our regular chapel service, also on December 26, Mary Kolderie echoed the steeple bells, by ringing a hand bell 38 times. We listened to the ringing of the bell in place of reciting our confession that day because in it we were confronted with our failure to love our neighbor as ourselves. However, this painful reminder of our brokenness was followed by absolution, reminding us that God has granted us a fresh start, one that compels us to renew that commit‐ment to love our neighbor as ourselves. Darkness does not have to rule our interactions with our neighbors—even our enemies!

So, let us regard our past acts of inhumanity (which is to say un‐Godliness) as a sort of darkness that descends upon us whenever we neglect the true light of love and goodness that is in each of us. Let us be inspired to

Christmas 2012

As I write, our world seems torn apart by tragedy. Grief and sadness abound as we remember the elementary school children in Connecticut who met an

unimaginable fate just days ago. We are shocked and repulsed by the details of the event as reported by the media; and our hearts go out to the parents, friends and classmates of the slain who are left to mourn, agonize and wonder “How could such a thing happen?!”

When there is so much suffering in the world, so much needless violence, so much loneliness and deprivation, it is difficult to open our hearts to the joy and hope that mark this season…and yet, that is just what we are called to do. For this is what the Christmas story is all about: the Christ Child’s birth into a dark and broken world to bring hope and light and joy to all humanity. While we may endure hardship and pain in our lives, while we may witness cruelty and suffering in the world around us, we are joyful in the fulfillment of God’s promise in the birth of the Messiah, who comes to liberate us from the shackles of human invention and show us the way to an everlasting life of freedom and love.

In the birth of the Holy Child into poverty, homelessness, illegitimacy, and into a land occupied by an oppressive empire, we know that hope came into a world where before there was none. Let us embrace that hope, which is still very much alive and with us today, as we pray for the peace of God working through us to bring harmony and love to our strife‐ridden world. And let us joyfully proclaim the Christmas Message that God is with us in Jesus Christ, God’s gracious gift to us. Let us cherish this gift and be inspired by it to seek peace and joy throughout the world. Let us through Christ realize our potential for goodness and Godliness and work to build God’s Kingdom right here, where one day there will be no tears or sadness but eternal joy!

Merry Christmas!

Fr. Michael


Branches – January, 2013 By The Rev. Barbara von Haaren

Snowbound, by John Greenleaf Whittier

The sun that brief December day

Rose cheerless over hills of gray, And, darkly circled, gave at noon

A sadder light than waning moon. Slow tracing down the thickening sky

Its mute and ominous prophecy, A portent seeming less than threat,

It sank from sight before it set.

Some time in my academic career, I took a class that had us study and dissect this long poem by Whittier. Those classes always discouraged me from reading poetry, thinking that ʹif this is what poetry is about I donʹt want any part of it!ʹ

However, as I grew up and away from classrooms, I began to develop a real love of poetry because I could read it and enjoy it for what it is: the use of beautiful, descriptive words to convey a thought or picture. This poem is a great description of a snow storm, and well worth reading in its entirety.

Now on these brief December days (and January and February days, too) is a wonderful time to do a lot of reading.

Recently in our Christian Conversations group between the 8 and 10 a.m. Sunday services, we had a discussion about which of the books of the Bible were the best to read first. Several options were offered, but the one that stood out was the Psalms. Those are a collection of ancient poems, many written by David. And what great poetry they are.

No need to dissect, just let yourself go with the words and the feelings. Maybe then you will be inspired to read other books in this greatest of all books.

Bishop’s Christmas Letter "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it . . ." So proclaims the Gospel of John. Those searchers, who undoubtedly traveled through challenging landscapes and situations, pressed forward — because of the promise of a star in the sky. Amidst cold dark days or deep personal tragedies, we are reminded by these sacred words that the light of Christ will shine through. As such, we must press forth toward the light. But this light is not out in some distant galaxy — it is within each one of us. As John of the Cross writes in the "Living Flame Of Love:"

How gently and lovingly You wake in my heart, Where in secret you dwell alone; And in your sweet breathing, Filled with good and glory, How tenderly You swell my heart with love.

May the warmth and love of this Christmas fill you with much joy. Merry Christmas,

The Rt. Rev. Brian N. Prior IX Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Minnesota

Annual Meeting

January 27. One service at 9 a.m. followed by the meeting and a potluck lunch.


Healthy Eating By Mary Heckman, Parish Nurse

Happy New Year! I hope you and your loved ones had a wonderful Christmas celebrat‐ing the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Many of us want to start the New Year off healthier, so I have a quiz for you to take to see how healthy your diet is. Eating provides for the nour‐ishment of our bodies, minds and spirits. God has graciously provided food to nourish our bodies and to share with others. But are we eating what is best for our bodies? Take the quiz and find out. If you are eating well, good for you, keep it up. If you could use some changes what better time than the start of a new year!

Healthy Eating Quiz

Do you really know what eating healthily means? Find out whether youʹre a healthy eater or could improve your eating patterns.

You are running late for work and haven’t eaten breakfast yet. Do you…

a. Skip it, you regularly do.

b. Make two pieces of white toast with peanut butter and eat them on the way.

c. Throw some sliced banana on a wholegrain cereal with skimmed milk and eat it before you go.

At work, it’s time for your morning break. Do you opt for?

a. A cup of coffee and a chocolate bar.

b. A cup of tea and two homemade oatmeal cookies.

c. A glass of water and an apple.

How many portions of fruit and vegetables do you eat on a typical day?

a. Less than 2

b. Between 3 and 5

c. 6 or more

When you grab a drink on the go, what is it most like‐ly to be?

a. A fizzy soft drink.

b. A squash or a juice drink.

c. A bottle of water, smoothie or fresh juice.

You’re heading for lunch with your colleagues. What will it be?

a. Bacon sandwich, coffee and donut.

b. Pizza topped with chicken and green peppers.

c. Grilled chicken, new potatoes and green salad.

b. 3 to 5 glasses.

c. 5 to 10 glasses.

Tonight, youʹre ordering a takeaway with friends. What will you have?

a. Pepperoni pizza with extra cheese and garlic bread.

b. Sweet and sour pork with special fried rice.

c. Szechuan prawns with steamed rice.

What are you most likely to choose when picking a treat?

a. Cream donut.

b. Home made apple crumble with custard.

c. Fresh fruit salad with yogurt.

Mostly A’s

You need to improve your diet! A diet like yours: high in fat, salt and sugar and low in fiber, whole grain, fruit and veg is linked to obesity. Try small changes like more fruit and veg; ideally five portions a day. Aim to make one third of the food you eat, starchy food such as potatoes, pasta, brown bread and rice. Cut down on sugary drinks, sweets and cakes, and on processed meat products such as sau‐sages and pies.

Mostly B’s

Try some small changes to your diet. First, try to eat five portions of fruit and veg a day. Dried fruit makes a great mid‐morning snack. Base your meals on starchy foods such as pasta, rice and potatoes. Wholegrain cereals are a great source of fiber. Also, minimize your intake of processed meats such as pies and sausages, which are high in saturated fat. If you fancy a takeaway chooses drier curries – such as tan‐doori or steamed Chinese food.

Mostly C’s

Well done, youʹre a healthy eater. Your diet is low in saturated fat, salt and sugar, and high in fiber, fruit and vegetables is helping to keep your heart healthy and protect against certain cancers. Remember; aim to eat two portions of fish a week, including one oily fish high in omega‐3, such as salmon, trout, or mackerel. If you’re a vegetarian, remember to get enough protein from nuts and seeds, beans and pulses, eggs, milk and soya.

May the Lord bless your eating and strengthen your body, mind and spirit in 2013!


Did You Know? By Mary Kolderie

Paul, or Saul as he was known until he became a Christian, was a Roman citizen born at Tarsus, in present‐day Turkey. He was brought up as an ortho‐dox Jew, studying in Jerusalem for a time under Gamaliel, the most famous rabbi of the day. Describing himself, he said, “I am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin” (Romans II;I).

A few years after the death of Jesus, Saul came in contact tithe the new Christian movement, and be‐came one of the most fanatical of those who were de‐termined to stamp out this “dangerous heresy.” Saul witnessed the stoning of Stephen. He was on the way to Damascus to lead in further persecution of the Christians when his dramatic conversion took place.

From that day, Paul devoted his life totally to Christ, and especially to the conversion of Gentiles. The Acts of the Apostles describes the courage and determina‐tion with which he planted Christian congregations over a large area of the land bordering the eastern Mediterranean.

His letters, the earliest of Christian writings, reveal him as the greatest of the interpreters of Christ’s mind, and as the founder of Christian theology. He writes, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I w ho live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).

Paul describes himself as small and insignificant in appearance: “His letters are weighty and strong,” it was said of him, “but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account” (Corinthians 10:10). He writes of having a disability which he had prayed God to remove from him, and quotes the Lord’s reply, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made per‐fect in weakness.” Therefore, Paul went on to say, “I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me” (Corinthians 12:9).

Paul is believed to have been martyred at Rome in the year 64 under Nero.

The above is taken from Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2006, page 146.

Experience an Oasis of Serenity By Dale Hanson

Peace on earth is a journey that begins with introspection, an internal evaluation of our own thoughts, feeling and motivations. Our capacity to move away from chaos and toward harmony is hindered by the imperfections of our own misguided desires and lack of devotion to love, hope and faith. Peace depends on the transformation of rigid thinking, harsh words, and misdeeds into acts of compassion and empathy. We have but one mouth and two ears designed to be used proportionately, and we need to resonate, to listen to others in ways that demonstrate that we have been changed by what we have heard and experienced. The healthy integration of our collective thoughts, feelings, and motivations is like the germination of a seed—the seed that becomes the vine and bears the fruit of peace.

Like many acts of faith in our lives, the mission of personal and world peace is riddled by many challenges. Peace depends on our willingness and capacity to embrace the tools of awareness, to be more mindful of our needs and the needs of others. Creating an oasis of serenity depends largely on our commitment to engage each other and the world with a beginner’s mind, to be less judgmental and to be more accepting,, to be more patient and to be willing to let go, to be less reactive and to become more responsive, and to build more trusting relationships. These are qualities of life that are derived through the practice of meditation.

As a practitioner of meditation I invite you to embrace meditation to strengthen your faith, to radiate your life with love, and to revitalize your sense of hope. Meditation has the power to transcend our boundaries and beliefs in ways that comfort, inspire and heal the body, mind, and soul of every living being. Five minutes of meditation twice a day will create an oasis of serenity in your life. You are the light of the world and this is your time to shine. To participate in meditation classes, please contact me or the church office for more information. Classes are held in the basement of Christ Episcopal Church every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday and all are welcome.

Peace be with you,

Dale H. Hanson C.H.

Meditation Classes Wednesdays: 9 a.m.

Fridays: 8 p.m.
