FROM THE EDITOR

Carl Sagan on the magic of books: "What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.”

I have always loved reading books. When school was out in my childhood summers in Orlando, Florida, I would ride my bike to the library every week and come back with a stack of books. I have traveled to foreign places and long-ago times in books. I have learned about people, history, love, and politics, foreign experiences, friendships, families of all sorts, of good and evil and compassion and chance. These are the three most recent books I have read: The House of McQueen, is a book of poetry about the British fashion designer Alexander McQueen. I don’t read a lot of poetry, but this book was written by Valerie Wallace, my cousin’s wife. Besides, it had rave reviews; Behold the Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue, about an immigrant from Cameroon (West Africa), working as a chauffeur for a wealthy family in Manhattan while trying to get his Green Card. Now I’m reading Half Broke Horses, a book by Jeanette Walls about her grandmother who grew up tough in West Texas and lived to tell about it! (It was a rough place to grow up!) I recommend them all.

I hope all the readers of this column will enjoy traveling this summer, whether it’s on a plane, or a ship, or in your own back yard with your nose in a book! --Rodney Dudley

The CORRESPONDENT 3

Connecting the Dots Commencement speeches and greeting cards are full of advice for graduates, yet good intentions and careful plans can’t guarantee a perfect life — whatever that might mean. “You can’t connect the dots looking forward,” said Steve Jobs. “You can only connect them looking backwards. So, you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life ...” As Christians, we can do more than that: We can trust in God.

Yes, he may speak to us through a “gut” feeling, and our eternal “destiny” is assured. And we know that life, not death, will win out. But recent grads — and all of us — need not just sit and wait to see how the dots of our lives will someday connect. God has shown us through Scripture, the church and, above all, Jesus that the dots connect this way: from God’s heart, to Jesus’ sacrifice for us, to our entry into relationship with God, to our heart and finally to our own loving outreach to others. Whatever shape your education, work and family take through the years, “commence” with this: God has drawn your life to connect with him and your neighbors. If you follow those Spirit-etched lines, you’ll be fine.

—Heidi Mann

Living Proof

Have you ever realized that you can give things to God that are of value to him? Or are you just sitting around daydreaming about the greatness of his redemption, while neglecting all the things you could be doing for him? I’m not referring to works which could be regarded as divine and miraculous, but ordinary, simple human things — things which would be evidence to God that you are totally surrendered to him. —Oswald Chambers

Coming Tuesday, June 12

SAVE THE DATE!

Seniors, come join us for another tasty homemade luncheon in the Parish Hall at 12:00 Noon on June 12. Come and visit with friends! Then stay for a presentation by Freddie King, R.N,, on Managing Depression. This is a subject that touches all of us in one way or another—sometimes with our friends or families, sometimes with ourselves. Come and get a better understanding of what it’s all about and what to do about it.

Take Me to Church...

No, I’m not just talking about the wedding last month of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (the Duke and Duchess of Sussex). Last month, Mother Diane wrote about the classic child’s rhyme, “Here’s the Church, here’s the steeple, open the doors and...” The true ending is “open the doors and see all the people”. A couple of weeks ago, millions of Americans watched history in the making, and if you are like me, looked on with a sense of pride, not only because an American was participating (Meghan Markle) in history making, but also because our “very own” Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church was asked to give the sermon for this historic occasion. While listening to the Presiding Bishop’s address, and really thinking about what he said, I hope that we all get inspired to follow his words, and truly act in our life here at St. Ann’s church, as family. Let me explain…

I personally took two very key points from what the Bishop said. One point was Bishop Curry’s heartfelt call to all of humanity to “Imagine when love is the way.” What he said was, “because when love is the way, we actually treat each other, well…like we are actually family”. I think we feel like a family right here at St. Ann’s, and I’m so grateful for that. In his sermon, the Bishop also made the statement that the actual invention of fire made everything we have in this world today, possible. When you really think about it, though, we all have a “fire” within us, don’t we?

It seems that each month, as we gather as a Vestry, there’s a recurring dilemma that we discuss, and hope to resolve, and it’s that of volunteerism within the church. We all have busy lives, but St. Ann’s is a special place, which runs mostly on volunteerism, and without us, how will St. Ann’s survive for future generations to come? The St. Ann’s “fire” would surely burn out after a while, without the volunteers who keep it running!

So please, please, please keep our fire burning here by volunteering some time. We have a very special and beloved event coming up on June 10th, St. Barnabas Day, which is a great

opportunity to help for just a short period of time, and as a bonus, your body will get “fueled” with a delicious barbeque! Or perhaps your “fire” is better fanned by helping with the Altar Guild, or the Food Pantry, the Thrift Shop, PBJ ministry, Daughters of the King ministry, Buildings and Grounds, or one of many other areas where volunteers are needed.

Let’s keep the rhyme going for generations to come, by fanning our internal fire, because remember, without the people, St. Ann’s is just… well, a church and a steeple!

Words for Today, From 1968

For America, this marks the 50th anniversary of a turbulent year, which included high-profile

assassinations, the Vietnam War and civil rights protests. Five decades on, turmoil still abounds.

May we take hope and inspiration from Robert Kennedy, who, on the night of Martin Luther King’s

death, replaced a presidential-campaign speech with these words:

“What we need in the United States is not division; … not hatred; … not violence and lawlessness, but

… love, and wisdom, and compassion toward one another; and a feeling of justice toward those who

still suffer within our country, whether they be white or … black.”

Kennedy added: “We will have difficult times in the future. … But the vast majority of white people and

… black people in this country want to live together … and want justice for all human beings. … Let's

dedicate ourselves … to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world … and

say a prayer for our country and for our people.”

GOD & GUINNESS IS BACK! Father Brian invites parishioners to join him at the Portly Villager, at 261 Main Street in Sayville, on Thursday, June 14th at 7:00 PM. The topic for the evening will be:

“Things They Never Taught Me in Sunday School.” All parishioners who are 21 years old and above are welcome to attend.

Father’s Day — More Than a Day

Father’s Day was first observed in America in 1910. In 1923 the third Sunday of June was set as the official day, and in 1924 President Coolidge recommended its national observance. Today it has a fixed place in the calendar of special days in our country. But devotion to and pride in fathers does not need to wait for official approval. As long as there have been families, love and respect for fathers has existed.

ST. ANN’S EVERYDAY HEROES

By Thomas Honey

On Friday, May 18th, Senator Thomas Croci’s office presented the annual “Everyday Heroes”

awards ceremony for Islip Town and Brookhaven town residents at Sachem Library. Out of the

seven award winners this year, two were members of our own congregation—Carole Sheppard

and John K. Smith!

Carole was recognized for her tireless volunteer efforts with the Bay Area Friends of the Fine

Arts (BAFFA) organization, where she has been a board member since 1988 and is currently

serving a second term as BAFFA’s president. BAFFA seeks to bring music, fine arts, and

cultural events to the students and residents of Long Island. Carole is also a member of the

Sayville Garden Club and the Sayville Village Improvement Society.

John was recognized for his heroic efforts on February 1st, 2017, when he witnessed a horrific

crash on the Long Island Expressway and ran across oncoming traffic without a pause to assist

those involved in the accident. Seeing that one of the vehicles was on fire, John, along with an

off-duty police officer and a volunteer fireman were able to remove a woman from the burning

vehicle before she suffered any injuries.

We certainly congratulate both Carole and John for their well-deserved recognition, and we

know the entire congregation is proud of them both—our own St. Ann’s Heroes!

Volunteers in our Thrift Shop work hard all year, and on May 7th they were

treated to High Tea in the Parish Hall, as a “Thank

You” for their time and talent in making the Thrift Shop

the thriving enterprise that it is.

Thanks to Peggi Flanagan who arranged for the tea

and was the hostess for the affair. She also managed

to surprise a few of the attendees with door prizes.

A special thanks to Thrift Shop Manager Nanci Guerra,

who personally created all the table centerpieces and

also made the favors--assorted teacups with varying

flavors (Wild Raspberry Hibiscus?) of tea bags inside

and tied with a tag bearing an appropriate tea-related adage, such as

“Where there’s tea there’s hope.”

The scones and tea sandwiches were delicious and a nice way to

celebrate the folks who volunteer in the Thrift Shop.

“There is no trouble so great or grave that it cannot be

much diminished by a nice cup of tea.”

THE EXCITING AND UNUSUAL LIFE OF GUY THE BEAGLE

In 2015 a beagle was found alone in the woods in Kentucky. The beagle was found by a good samaritan and brought to a shelter. Unfortunately, no one wanted to adopt the beagle who sadly was at a kill shelter and put on the euthanasia list.

Days before the Beagle was to be put down, a beagle rescue group in Canada was contacted by the shelter and they decided to take him in....to Canada. Groups of dog lovers took turns driving the beagle in one-hour shifts from Kentucky to Toronto.

At a normal run-of-the mill adoption event, a woman who was temporarily working in Toronto saw the Beagle and decided he was for her. The woman named the beagle Guy. She was an actress named Meghan Markle. As we all now know, Meghan Markle ended up marrying Prince Harry.

The day before his owner’s wedding, Guy the Beagle rode in a car to dinner with the Queen of England. Guy, the stray beagle from Kentucky now lives at Kensington Palace.

No matter what our circumstances are, we never know what surprises God has in store for us!

HISTORY OF THE WHITE WEDDING DRESS

When we think of June, we often think of weddings—and what sort of dress

the bride will wear. Of course, if it takes place in the USA, it is likely to be

white. The tradition of a white wedding dress is commonly credited to Queen

Victoria's choice to wear a white court dress at her wedding to Prince Albert

in 1840. She selected a white dress, which was considered an unusual

choice at a time when colors were more frequently chosen, made from

heavy silk satin. The young queen decreed that no one else should wear

white at her wedding—trend-setting again—and had the pattern for her

dress destroyed so that no one could copy it afterwards. Wearing white was

quickly adopted by wealthy, fashionable brides.

THE 27th LETTER OF THE ALPHABET?

Can you name the 27th letter of the alphabet? Well, of course not. There are only 26 letters in the alphabet. But not always...once there were 27! The letter we’re talking about here is the ampersand, better known as '&', which was considered a part of the alphabet until roughly the middle of the nineteenth century. Today it’s mainly used in company names, like H&R Block, or Ben & Jerry's. Back when the ampersand was considered part of the alphabet, it resided after 'Z'. And one could not simply say 'W, X, Y, Z, and, 'And'." So instead, they said "W, X, Y, Z, and per se and". Over time, “and per se and” was slurred together into the word we use today: ampersand.

Our Church History

By Connie Currie

When Warren “Cy” Beebe died on May 9, 1974, the people of Sayville and St. Ann’s lost a good friend. “Cy” was born in Sayville in 1911, graduated from Sayville High School and, except for several years working on Wall Street, spent his life in Sayville.

For 29 years, you could drop in at his Home Port Service Station on Main Street. After that, he owned and operated the Sayville Car Wash.

He was a charter member and Past Commander of the Wet Pants Yacht Club, a member of the Sayville Rotary Club, the Connetquot Lodge 838 Free and Accepted Masons, and a member of St. Ann’s Episcopal Church.

Marion S. Beebe, age 77, passed away on March 20, 1993, at the Good Samaritan Nursing Home, 19 years after her husband. Born in Bayport, Marion was a lifelong resident of the Bayport-Sayville area. She was a retired librarian from the Connetquot School District. Extremely active in St. Ann’s Church, as well as the Bayport Heritage Association, the Sayville Village Improvement Society, and a member of Packer College Alumni Association.

After a religious service at St. Ann’s Episcopal Church, Marion Beebe was laid to rest beside her husband, “Cy,” in the Garden of the Unforgotten.

THE NEW HOUSE

A preacher who had always feared death felt powerless to comfort others who were facing it. Toward the end of his life, he moved to another house. When all the furniture had been packed, he lingered in the home where he’d raised his children and prepared many sermons. An assistant interrupted those reflections by saying, “Everything’s gone, sir, but the new house is better than this one. Come away.” The preacher never forgot this lesson. God has prepared for his children a home infinitely better than earth — “an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands” (2 Corinthians 5:1, NIV).

+Christian Symbol+

Serpent A serpent coiled around a fruit-bearing tree symbolizes humanity’s first sin, when Adam and Eve, at the serpent’s tempting, disobeyed God by eating fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The Genesis 3 account is often referred to as “The Fall,” and though it doesn’t say so, the serpent is commonly understood as Satan.
