THE CHRONICLE—JUNE 2007 1 SAINT JAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCH

We had a great annual meeting at the Grosse Ile Country Club recently. I am sorry that so many of you missed out on a great evening of friendship, food and fun. Here is an example of what took place. The new slate was read and ap-proved. • President: Carolyn Hoey • Vice President: Pam Lippa • Secretary: Norma Smereka • Treasurer: Madeleine Jones Also on the board:

• Julie Kohn

• Mary Phillips, and;

• Lillian Everlove.

We are uncertain as to our sched-ule in the coming year. If we are still able to have the Tuesday healing service, Pat Zavadil and Michael Glover are going to have a program after the ser-vice for anyone who would like to stay. It could be bible study, Christian tape, etc. There will be no dessert, but you are welcome to bring a lunch and there will be coffee and tea.

Julie Kohn has some ideas for a few night programs. The board will also schedule some daytime programs with dessert. Two of our outreach programs that eve-ryone seemed to like doing, we will do again, i.e. Linus blankets

and Christmas shoeboxes. I hope that those of you who are able will attend some of these pro-grams. I realize that everyone is very busy. Lifestyles have changed. However, if you would like to get to know people at St. James, come and join some of the pro-grams that the church offers.

JUNE 2007

St. James is more than a priest. It is made up of people. Priests come and go; but we remain. It takes all of us to make this a vi-able church. We need you to support our pro-grams, get involved. It is very difficult to call everyone and ask you individually. On behalf of the women of St. James, we wish God Speed, to Melanie and Father Phil. You will be greatly missed. We are better people for having known you both.

Your sister in Christ,

Carolyn Hoey

NEEDS DURING THE TRANSITION

Many people have already stepped up to the plate to provide leadership in the months between rectors. Over 15 people are a part of the Search Committee that will hone our parish profile, search out clergy from across the country and interview. Talk to Jay Craig or any of the other members to give input on the process. The first of a series of regular progress reports from the committee will begin very shortly. A Christian Education Committee has already held an informal meeting and a follow-up official meeting to ensure that Christian Education for the children maintains or even improves in coming months. Look for news from them about Fall Sun-day School programs in the coming months. Talk to Jane Colwell or Sharon Thomas to learn more or to help. Also, the Vacation Bible School Committee is up and running with a great list of names of people willing to help and more spots even available. Jobs include arts and crafts, music, storytelling, group leaders, cooking, science and more. Talk to Courtney McNeil or Sharon Thomas to be a part of the crew, which will work will the kids through the week of July 23rd-27th from morning to noon. It's not too early to register your kids! What gifts can you offer to strengthen and deepen the church family? Can you help the Pastoral Care Committee? Can you teach a class or a short series of classes or Bible Studies? To do so, you don't need to be an expert if you are willing

simply to convene a group of interested learners and to help guide discussion. Can you be a Sunday Greeter, reader or usher? What about helping on the Finance Committee or helping with the important work of accounting for and depositing pa-rishioner's offerings with the bank following the service. There is need! Can you give time to help lead the High School youth group in the Fall for an hour or so every couple of weeks? We have access to curriculum guides to help. A gar-dens committee of people willing to spend a few hours in the church gar-dens once a month would also be a real help, as weeds are impinging. What other gifts or interests or skills do you have that you could employ for ministry? I hope that, at least, you are offering your prayer to God for the people of the world and for Saint James, for wisdom for the search committee, that God's will would be done in this process, that God would bless his people and continue on in even greater strength the Spirit-filled life of this Church. It always makes a difference when God is in-vited into a process, so please do be sure to pray! Pray also that the Lord would show you what ways he would have you contribute to deepening, broadening and heightening the world of ministry that is accomplished through this church. Yours in Christ,


(Editor’s Note: Following are excerpts from Lynn

Blanks’ senior warden address discussing the de-

parture of Father Phil)

And, so Saint James, we, too, must begin our next journey. Recall Father Phil's sermon a couple weeks ago about the shepherd and the sheep. It is true we are losing our Saint James shepherd, but, contrary to some of those cited characteristics of sheep, this flock is a one-of-a-kind---strong, gifted, smart, motivated, faithful, and always ready to accept the next challenge. Just look at the person sitting next to you, behind you, in front of you. Each of you brings your own unique and God-given talents and gifts to the flock. I ask each of you today to commit those resources to Saint James during this time of transition. Certainly it is true, that over the next few months, a few members of the flock will wander away--some will get lost, though others will eventually find their

way back home to us. However, I am confident most of this unique flock will remain intact, united in strength, love and faith until we hear the sweet, calming voice of our new good shepherd. We will continue moving forward on our journey, fueled by the momentum generated by Father Phil. The pace may be a bit slower, and tentative and questioning at times, but forward we must and will go. By doing so, we honor God, Father Phil, and ourselves. My Brothers and Sisters, offer your prayers unto God for strength, patience, wisdom and peace. And remember we always have with us, the one true and Good Shepherd, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who protects us, leads us, and loves us, one and all. AMEN!

We have all worked very hard on the Lunches to keep everyone happy and full! A special thanks to Bob Beaubien, Jack Hartley and Liz Hartley for behind the scenes help in the kitchen. We had a week full of great food! Monday Loreen Angellotti made great Macaroni and Cheese with Roasted Sausage and a great Citrus Salad. Everyone wanted the recipes. Tuesday Judy Christie, Liz Hartley and I made Taco Soup with more of the Citrus Salad with fresh Italian Bread. Wednesday Pam Lippa and I made Hot Ham and Cheese sandwiches with Red and Green fruit Jello and Macaroni Salad. Thursday brought Monica Treadwell and Sue Hartley with their famous Pizza and Salad. Friday our very own Church’s Recipe for Sloppy Joes was made by Linda Kurth along with potato salad and chips. Saturday brought Hot Dogs with Beans and Potato Salad & Chips by Floyd and Pam Lippa.

Thank you everyone for a great week!

We know many of you with "green thumbs" love to dig, plant, trim, mulch, weed, rake, and edge in and on the beautiful, spacious grounds and gardens of Saint James, and we certainly do not wish to discourage your generous donation of time, energy, and hard work. In order to coordinate efforts, the Vestry adopted the following policy at our May 8 meeting: All those who wish to work on the grounds of Saint James, including the Memorial Garden, must go through the Junior Warden for Grounds. (In this case, please contact Dave Christie.) Thank you for your cooperation.

SCRIP UPDATE—JUNE


May 19th was a day of lessons at

Trinity Soup Kitchen…It was a

particularly busy day for many of

our “regulars” and Frank was re-

covering from an out-patient sur-

gery, so that left Bob Beaubien and

me. I put out a panicked call, to

which dear friends: Tom Coleman,

Lynda VanEngelen, Jane & Carl

Colwell & Nina Miles, responded.

Huge relief! Small crew but I fig-

ured if something had to go, we just

wouldn’t make the peanut butter &

jelly sandwiches. We would just

divide the bread into bags “to go”.

No worries…GOD ALWAYS HAS

A PLAN AND EVERYTHING

ALWAYS WORKS OUT, WHEN

YOU DO EVERYTHING

YOU CAN, WORK HARD, AND

GO FORWARD IN FAITH!

Surprise, surprise…Lynda

VanEngelen brought Barry. Nina

brought her daughter Katrina

Miles, their friends Suzie Sanchez-

Honkala and Matt Honkala,

Molly Kelsey and Anna Rodri-

guez. Linda Shannon and

Herman Rugel surprised us in the

parking lot and Greg Goyert was

waiting at the Soup Kitchen for us,

along with Millie & Gordon Miles

Sr.! I couldn’t believe it! It truly

was like a miracle! By 10 a.m.

everything was prepared: three pots

of Taco Soup, a huge salad, rolls,

200 peanut butter & jelly sand-

wiches made, a zillion donuts were

OUT THERE WITH OUTREACH—

JUNE 2007

bagged and 300 sporks were rolled

in napkins! WHAT A CREW!!!

Thank you one and ALL! Everyone

went off early to enjoy the rest of

the day and Bob & Tom stayed with

me to wait for Grady Evans and

the Wyandotte First Baptist Church

serving crew. I do believe we can

take heart in my above motto, which

God proves to me again and again.

As all works out with our Out

Reach endeavors, so it will for Saint

James in the coming year. Believe!

Have faith. It’s what we do.

By the way…The new name for

Trinity Episcopal Church is Spirit of

Hope. They have shared Pastor

Matthew Bode, the E.L.C.A. minis-

ter, for years.

Trinity and the Lutheran church

have officially blended to become

The Spirit of Hope. Pastor Matthew

is a true blessing for all of us. He IS

a spirit of hope!

The next time we cook at the Soup

Kitchen is Saturday, June 16, for the

cooking/set-up shift only.

We will leave the Saint James

Chapel parking lot at 8:25 a.m. (The

side lot on the north side, by the

chapel) We will return at around

noon.

On Saturday July 21st, we do the

Soup Kitchen all day, both shifts:

Cooking/set-up: Leave the Chapel

parking lot at 8:20 am and you can

leave when all is ready, between 10

and 11 am.

Serving/clean-up: Be down at

“Trinity “ Sprit of Hope at 11:30

am and be on your way home by

1:30 pm.

We would also like to have home-

made cookies and brownies for

desserts. Please have them in our

church kitchen by Friday, July 20,

in labeled, throw away containers.

There are sign-up sheets for all of

the above on the Service/Outreach

bulletin board. Thank you for eve-

rything!

Remember, if you can’t go or if you

are meeting us Downtown,

PLEASE call me on my cell so we

are not waiting for you. It is al-

ways nice to let me know ahead if

you are not going.

The August meal is prepared and

served by the Wyandotte First Bap-

tists, so we will have that day off.

With Love,

Amy & Frank Kohair


This past Easter Season reminds us of all the blessings for which we can be thankful. Using the UTO Blue Box is one way that we can express our daily thanksgiving and continue to support others world-

wide.

The mission of the United Thank Offering is to expand the circle of thankful people. To achieve this mission we encourage daily prayer, offerings, and awareness of God’s

abundance.

Last year, over $2.4 million was granted by the UTO to assist

parishes, organizations and dio-ceses. These funds are distributed throughout the world. Our diocese received $35,000 to purchase a handicap mini-bus for use by the students at the Michigan State Uni-versity’s Canterbury House. It will provide safe transportation to church services, local activities, provincial events and spring mis-

sion trips.

UTO envelopes will be n the church bulletin on Sunday, June 3 and available in the office. All checks should be made out to Saint

James Church, which will, in turn, make one check to the UTO Parish

Coordinator.

You will find new UTO boxes on the table outside the office. Put one in your home and drop in a coin after a beautiful day, a safe trip, a

new grandchild, etc.

There is so much we can be thank-ful for. As the coins fill the box, you will fill someone’s heart with

hope.

UTO SPRING INGATHERING—JUNE 3, 2007

The Counter Committee of volunteers counts the monies collect by Saint James Church weekly after the second service.

The time commitment is one Sunday per month for an hour.

The Canons of the Episcopal Church specifically state that monies collected by the church must be:

• Counted and recorded in the proper funds;

• Deposited weekly by individuals who are independent of the money disbursement process;

• Not count with someone they are related to, and;

• Be rotated regularly.

The following individuals provide this important service to our church:

• Norma Smereka

• Lillian Everlove

• Joan Hemsworth

• David Hemsworth

• Walt Denson

• Pat Bracey

• Dave Dowhan

• Nina or Jim Galleher

• Sue Daniel

• Jack Hartley

• Curt Crysler

• Carl Colwell

If you are interested in learning more about this committee or other committees at Saint James, please contact Liz in the

office.

COMMITTEE CORNER: COUNTER COMMITTEE


- Sound System: Approval has been given to pay the final balance on the sound system. The narthex/hallway speaker is still being fine- tuned. The slight distortion that some notice comes from the wireless signal that is being used to carry the sound. At some point in the future we may need to decide whether the wireless sound is good enough or if we want to lay wire between the system (by the organ) through the air ducts in the basement to the speaker for perfect clarity. This course would cost an estimated $1,000. For the time being we are working on fixing the problem by fine-tuning the signal. - Grounds Work: The Vestry passed a motion directing that all requests to work the grounds or gardens of St. James should go through the Jr. Warden for Grounds, currently David Christie, for approval. They hoped not to

discourage such volunteering but simply to encourage an orderly and coordinated approach to our grounds maintenance. - Bridge &Tokens: Two tokens a week will be provided to off-island parishioners to cover expenses re-lated to coming to church. This gift comes from the Bridge Company and we are grateful for the gesture. - Sign: The Finance Committee recommended approving an addi-tional $5,000 for the East River sign. This will allow for electricity to be run to the sign and will allow for a design improvement requested by the committee. The vestry vote on this will come next month. - Sunday School: Teachers have all filled out their diocesan Prevention of Sexual Misconduct Policy forms. - Building Use: Guidelines for Building Use are being updated.

- Newcomer's Dinner: A dinner recognizing and welcoming the newcomers who have recently joined Saint James will be held later this summer at a vestry person's home. There is some discussion about having these dinners on a regular basis. - Organ: Several leathers in the organ need repair and several keys on the organ have stopped playing because some maintenance is needed. The vestry approved $3,300, which is available in the organ maintenance fund, which, together with an anonymous gift will bring the organ back to its full voice. - Fr. Phil announced that he will be leaning Saint James some time this summer to accept a position of Associate Rector at a church in Texas. He cited many reasons; however the main reason was to answer God's call. A transition committee was convened within the week following this meeting and the committee's work is on-going.

On Sunday, May 27, we celebrated the Day of Pentecost. With the coming of the Holy Spirit, this great feast has often been referred to as the ”birthday of the Church” and reminds us of our calling to be Christ’s Church in the world today. If we are, truly, the Church, then how do we respond when faced with a change in leadership at the local level? How do we maintain our identity, our stability, our fam-ily? More importantly, how do we prepare ourselves for new leader-ship?

There is a hymn by Howard Chan-dler Robbins (1876-1952) that we may use as a meditation during this period of transition. I commend it to you for strength and illumination: Put forth, O God, thy Spirit’s might

and bid thy Church increase,

in breadth and length, in depth and

height,

her unity and peace.

Let works of darkness disappear

before thy conquering light;

let hatred and tormenting fear

pass with the passing night.

Let what apostles learned of thee

be ours from age to age;

their steadfast faith our unity,

their peace our heritage.

O Judge divine of human strife!

O Vanquisher of pain!

to know thee is eternal life,

to serve thee is to reign.

May God give us his Holy Spirit to guide us, to strengthen us and to be our companion along the way in the days and months ahead.

Soli Deo Gloria!
