Once again we enter the holy and penitential season

of ‘Lent’. Traditionally, this is a time of repentance,

introspection, and preparation for Holy Week and

Easter. During Lent many of us think once again about

improving our spiritual lives through some sort of

Lenten ‘discipline’. Some folks give us something, other

take something on, still others attempt to do both. Let

the lists below be something to perhaps trigger your

imagination. The hardest part of any journey, especially a spiritual one, is just getting

started. The list below might just help us get started on a really special Lenten

journey.

List One (What to Give up):

*Give up complaining – focus on gratitude.

*Give up pessimism – become an optimist.

*Give up harsh judgments – think kindly thoughts.

*Give up worry – trust divine providence.

*Give up discouragement – be full of hope.

*Give up bitterness – turn to forgiveness.

*Give up hatred – return good for evil.

*Give up anger – be more patient.

*Give up pettiness – become more mature.

*Give us jealousy – pray for trust.

*Give up gossiping – control the tongue.

*Give up unhealthy habits – remember your body is a temple.

*Give up giving up – hang in there!

List Two (What to Take On):

*Take on daily prayer (even just 5 minutes) – Talk to God. Listen to God. *Take on a weekly Holy Eucharist – Worship God. *Take on the Holy Scriptures – Learn about God. *Take on formation for yourself and others – Teach about God. *Take on serving your neighbors – Build the Kingdom with God.

May these short phrases help us all to be engaged, perhaps spark an idea. Use them as

springboards to help jumpstart your own experience of Lent. Use this time to prepare

in heart, body, and soul for the drama of Holy Week, and the joy that follows.

Faithfully,

Father Ron

LIVING GRATEFULLY

Your life will be transformed if you awaken to each new day as a gift, rather than as a given. The

new day is not an accident. The new day is teeming with signs and sustenance of God's

presence, and promise, and provision. Before you set off doing all that needs to get done in the

day, make sure you have the right posture. Get your bearings; find your center; remind yourself

how to be. How do you wish to be? The answer I would give is: Be grateful. Don't miss the

opportunity to pray and savor your gratitude for what is so clearly good in life.

Start now and start small. If you awakened this morning to your alarm clock, be thankful that you

can hear. If you arose from your bed without assistance, be thankful. If fresh clean water is

available, be thankful. If you can look outside your window, whether you see sunshine or rain,

beauty or sadness, be thankful for the miracle of your eyesight. This can be a way of "praying

without ceasing."

We celebrate the Holy Eucharist as a living reminder and template of how to live our lives all the

time: eucharistically. The word "Eucharist" comes from the Greek, meaning "great thanksgiving."

When we celebrate the Holy Eucharist, we are reminded of the real presence of Christ, who is

really present in the ordinary present. For us to stay in touch with the presence that is present

requires practice. All that is enough to stay in touch with the presence, is here and now. The

Psalmist reminds us, "THIS is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it"

(Ps 118:24).

Gratitude consecrates our life and labor and makes us real, and makes us really present to the

real presence of Christ who is at work within us and around us NOW. God operates; we co-

operate. Living a yes is to accept the good gifts of life that actually are there, free of resentment

for what is not there, or no longer there.

Practicing gratitude will not take away the difficulties and sufferings common to life. But claiming

the weight of gratitude for the wonder of living will re-balance the scale of your life. Practicing

gratitude will put your life's very real difficulties in a new light. At all times in life, claiming, clinging

to what abides that is still so amazingly good, will put a lilt to your gait, encouragement to your

heart, and the light of Christ to your countenance. (From: LIVING GRATEFULLY by Curtis Almquist, SSJE)

A hymn meditation for Lent-

There’s a wideness in God’s mercy

MUSIC NOTES By: LeighAnn Johnston

There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, ’Tis not all we owe to Jesus

Like the wideness of the sea; It is something more than all;

There’s a kindness in His justice, Greater good because of evil,

Which is more than liberty. Larger mercy through the fall.

There is no place where earth’s sorrows If our love were but more simple,

Are more felt than up in Heaven; We should take Him at His word;

There is no place where earth’s failings And our lives would be all sunshine

Have such kindly judgment given. In the sweetness of our Lord. *

There is welcome for the sinner, Souls of men! why will ye scatter

And more graces for the good; Like a crowd of frightened sheep?

There is mercy with the Savior; Foolish hearts! why will ye wander

There is healing in His blood. From a love so true and deep?

There is grace enough for thousands It is God: His love looks mighty,

Of new worlds as great as this; But is mightier than it seems;

There is room for fresh creations ’Tis our Father: and His fondness

In that upper home of bliss. Goes far out beyond our dreams.

For the love of God is broader But we make His love too narrow

Than the measure of the mind; By false limits of our own;

And the heart of the Eternal And we magnify His strictness

Is most wonderfully kind. With a zeal He will not own.

There is plentiful redemption Was there ever kinder shepherd

In the blood that has been shed; Half so gentle, half so sweet,

There is joy for all the members As the Savior who would have us

In the sorrows of the Head. Come and gather at His feet?

The author of this hymn, Frederick William Faber, was ordained as an Anglican priest in

1837. He became friends with Cardinal John Henry Newman and the poet, William

Wordsworth. Under Newman’s influence, Faber was re-baptized and re-ordained as a

Catholic priest. Under Wordsworth’s influence, he developed a love of poetry.

Knowing the power of hymns in the Protestant tradition, Faber wanted to make hymn-

singing more important in the Catholic tradition and wrote a number of hymns. His two

most famous hymns are “There’s A Wideness in God’s Mercy” and “Faith of Our

Fathers”.

“There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy” is part of a thirteen-verse poem ‘Come to Jesus’.

It celebrates the vastness of God’s mercy, God’s welcome for sinner and ‘good’ person

alike, and that God’s love is larger than human minds can fathom. It challenges us to

broaden our own love to more closely resemble God’s love, and it reminds us not to

impose our limits on God.

many activities going on in our parish life. I encourage

THE STEWARD’S CORNER - MARCH 2020

PLANNING for END-of-LIFE It is never too early to create a meaningful End-of-Life Plan to ensure your wishes are followed and your family is cared for properly. The Book of Common Prayer, page 445: “The minister of the congregation is directed to instruct the people from time to time, about the duty of Christian parents to make prudent provisions for the well-being of their families and of all persons to make wills while they are in health, arranging for the disposal of their temporal goods, not neglecting, if they are able, to leave bequests for religious and charitable uses.” The Stewardship Committee is currently planning an End-of-Life Seminar for late April under the leadership of Tricia Wagner ([email protected] -704- 756-5511) and Pamela Weed ([email protected] – 704-562-1715) for all members of the congregation. Topics will include:

- Legal considerations; ensuring your wishes are followed - Funeral and cemetery planning - Pastoral care for the sick - Charitable legacy planning

There will be a Q&A session following the presentation when you can ask questions of the panel of expert presenters. More information will follow as the date and plans are confirmed.

SIGN-UP for SPRING AGAPE GROUPS

Want to get to know other SPBTL parishioners better? AGAPE Groups are a perfect way!

We are now organizing small groups of 6 to 8 people (couples and singles) to

share fellowship and a simple meal. Groups meet every month or so, rotating

homes, so that each person or couple hosts one meal for their group over

approximately a four-month period.

Not fond of cooking? Order a pizza and add a salad. Evenings

busy? Host your group for brunch. It’s not a cooking contest.

It’s about having fun and getting to know each other.

Our Spring 2020 sign-up sheet is in Fotinos Hall (by the mailboxes). Groups will

begin meeting in April. Assignments to a group are random, so this is a great way

to meet newcomers and get to know fellow members better. A good time is

ALWAYS on the menu! Questions? Call or email Pat Racz: 704-748-3327,

[email protected].

SPRING INTO ACTION FOR HESED HOUSE!!

With all the rain we have had recently and just getting into the season for more

coming, I am asking for a small donation of an umbrella (compact) or poncho

for our homeless guests at the shelter who have to be outside during the daylight

hours when we are closed. This will go a long way!

A receptacle will be at the church entrance during

regular service hours or special events.

Thank you for your help for our working poor!

The Altar Guild depends on your donations for these flowers. So, we invite everyone to donate toward the Easter Floral Arrangement – any $ amount is welcome! We would love lots of donations as funds in excess of the floral bill will be placed in the Rector’s Benevolent Fund for the work of the Church, as we have done in the past. Please be generous with your donations and help make this most sacred day beautiful! Easter is our greatest church festival! The color changes to white symbolizing the Dove of the Holy Spirit. The earth bursts forth with blossoming shrubs and flowers to proclaim: “ He is Risen! ” Planning our altar flower arrangement for the Easter celebration is exciting and we try to make it the most beautiful of the year!
