God’s Abundance, Simply GivenBy The Rev. Janey Wilson

I have been thinking a lot this month about how the Holy Spirit meets us where we are and leads us forward. What happens in that trans-

action?

How are we met, and loved, and led to act in ways that mark us as faithful? How is it that we then

choose to take action not because it ��|�� "�'~�$��$�-cause we cannot help but respond to God’s transformative love for us? I think it is very much like the old hymn, “How can I keep from Singing. )�)~

Many times in the last few months, I have been blessed to walk with several of you in different pastoral situations. Some were pain-fully life changing, but nonetheless filled undeniably with God’s pres-ence. Others were more of a gentle moving toward God, perhaps with more regular church attendance or

volunteering, perhaps in a fellowship situation. Almost all of these situ-ations have resulted in your giving your treasure in a heartfelt way.

Sometimes it has been a relatively small financial amount, but one that represents a great segment of the person’s overall income. Sometimes the gift has been a combination of

time, talent and treasure. All of the gifts have been overwhelmingly generous. It is as though it suddenly makes sense, in the context of grati-tude for belonging to God. We begin to really understand “All things come of thee O Lord, and of thine own ��*��<��*� ��)~��=��*� �with no restrictions back to God are what make our ministry in this place both viable and truly given to the Glory of God.

In each of the above circum-stances, it has been my great joy to witness God shining through you, and to be present as you express

your gratitude for this abundant love. Many of the parishioners at Christ Church give selflessly of their time and talent. It is who we are as a community, and it is vital. But as Jesus reminds us in both the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be ��)~��

We are blessed, both to have been given and to be able to give in return. �

She did not have much, I knew, but she gave it in such a spirit- filled and joyful way that I knew that she needed and wanted to give from her heart.


P IECESTaking apart the pieces of life The Story

of TobitBy Amanda Musterman-Kiser

Nothing says middle school like growing pains. Our ear-ly teenage years are ones of profound mental, physi-cal and spiritual stretching.

�� *� �� "��<'�� '�torturous process. Middle Schoolers are scary because they challenge us to look ��<��<�� "�� in our own lives. Our volunteers and parents of the Rite 13 group (grades 6-7) see these �� {�� )�One minute a teenager can be self-��"� �� <��|��~�� "�the next minute they can give all their money and childhood toys to charity. One minute they are a child, the next an adult. One minute they are shy and awkward, the next �� *�� "�posed. This week, a former R13 teacher stopped by to share a powerful story of growth that challenged me to stretch. Many years back, the Rite 13 group was ��"�<�� group. They spent countless hours working at the Old

Episcopal Burying Ground. They also hosted a fundraising auc-�� )��<��*� ��'�� <��+��$��'�$�� "��{ ��)�� "�when it was over, the group had collected $10,000. Many ideas were passed around with what to do with the money – they could take a fun trip, they could

do mission work, they could buy new furniture. In the end, the R13 voted to give the money to the capital campaign. ��*�� {��'�<��of their own group, so that our Body of ��) Our scripture gives us countless examples of joyful and abundant giving without regard for one’s self. This week, I’ve been reading the Apocryphal book of Tobit. Tobit is a wonderful story of hope, about a man working with God’s help to do God’s work. Like the Rite 13 group, he gave endlessly to causes and was there to do whatever needed to be done. While the rest of Tobit’s tribe was worshiping false idols, he was going ��?��<��*��)��

$��"��"��"�� "��+� -�� '�� *��"��"� ��<��'��*�� "��'�� "��"��Z��When Tobit had money and resources, he gave generously. When he became ��'��*�� "�life.�� "'�{ � ��{ � ��'�� "��$�� "� �'��*�� to give. Each week, at the end of the Prayers of the People, we commend ourselves, our neighbors, and all our life to Christ our God. I think that both Tobit and those youth had a fuller un-derstanding of what those words mean. They entrusted all of their lives to the care of God and they handed over what-ever parts of them might be of use. This <�� $�� myself more, commending myself more, giving myself more. It’s the example that our youth teach us, that Tobit teaches us, that Jesus teaches us. May all our lives be commended to Christ, and my God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

By Lesa Schoner

When my son, Zach was in the third grade, one of his beloved class-

mates, died due to a congenital ill-ness. Zach, an asthma sufferer, had spent many recesses and PE periods in his buddy’s company. Due to the nature of the boy’s illness, the class had some slight understanding of its seriousness. However, no one is ever prepared for such a loss. I remember, like it was yesterday, the exchange between Zach and me the day he came home from school with this news. Zach’s demeanor was sol-emn, but definitely not sad. I asked him how he felt as I was somewhat relieved to see he wasn’t completely falling apart. He shared that he was sorry for his buddy’s family and friends because they would miss him terribly. At the same time, he felt great comfort in the fact that he was certain his buddy was busy throwing a football or chasing after others in the playground of Heaven. A smile crossed Zach’s face as he thought of the boy’s heavenly body free from the pain and constraints �� )�� -ness came over my chatty child as he expressed his worry for some of his classmates. Apparently, as Zach

shared his thoughts of his buddy and Heaven – many others asked what he was talking about, some even suggested there was no such thing. I just sat there unsure of how to respond…when Zach said “I am just so worried for all those kids because they don’t know about Heaven. What do you do if you don’t have Heaven? I guess you’re just left <�� $��" ��~�� *��realized until that moment what a gift the church had given my child. His par-

ish, his spiritual community had given him Heaven. The value of that gift to my child was clearly a HUGE comfort and in turn that gift to me was priceless. It is in this time of schools return, fall programs beginning anew and stewardship that I am reminded of all the gifts a parish gives back to its community. I know that as my 21 year old son continues through all that life has in store; he still cherishes those gifts. �

As my tenure on the Ves-try and as Senior War-den of Christ Church en-ters the homestretch, I feel more humbled and

honored than ever to have had the ��*��)��*�� "�the people of this church. I am awed by the history, grandeur, elegance, � ��'�� "�� { ��$�� )��But what awes and amazes me the most is the breadth and depth of lay involvement and lay leadership. That, more than anything else, de-{ ��)��$�� said, we must stay focused on the job at hand; on God and on God’s two Great Commandments.

2011 is in its last months, but ��"�)��good thing though, to pause and �� )��$�� "��'�� '�and even a noteworthy year in the history of Christ Church Cathedral. We now have a new, wonderful leader in our new Dean and Rec-tor Carol Wade. We have emerged �� many ways than when we entered ��)��%�� { � ��'�<��*��*��$�� "�

more new members. We have gone �� to genuine excitement. There is a |$��~�� "�� *�� seen in my fourteen years at Christ Church. We are ready to accomplish big things, and we are ready to ac-��+�� Christ Church, for our community and even for others beyond our com-munity. So climb aboard. Get ready to worship, pray, love and be loved. Get ready to be involved in whatever will be the best use of your personal ��^�� "�� )��<��

As your Senior Warden, I have � ��|��~��$��*�"�Christ Church fellow members. I ask that each of you pray about giving of ��'��{��=�"�� for us in this very place and at this *��)

1. First, pray about choosing and $�� *��have not done before. The list is endless – Community Cupboard, prayer group, bible study, break-fast team, usher, greeter, Reading Camp, welcome center volunteer, Sunday School teacher, commit-tee member, etc., etc., etc. If ��"��"��*��'�� $��"�� *��

to make room for someone else and start a new one.

2. Secondly, pray about giving of yourself by pledging and giving ��|��~�� $�� for 2012. I hope that everyone prays about pledging and giving something. We already do so many wonderful things for our Church and community – there is so much more that we can and <� ��"��{�� )��If you pledged for 2011, pray about increasing for 2012. If you didn’t pledge for 2011, pray about pledging something for 2012.

��%�� "��'��*��'�� "�your pledges to accomplish all of the �� =�"��"� ��to accomplish. I am genuinely excit-ed about the future of Christ Church. ��*��"�� $��'�<�� "*� ��)�� to pray every day for each of you – peace, strength, wisdom, courage and humbleness. �

Late this summer, my hus-band, John, was scheduled to have a knee replace-ment.As anyone who knows him

That seemed like a big job and here we were adding ��)��'��<��<��<��?�� ¢��*�� - �� "�� <��Janey would provide comfort to him. ��<��{ ��'�$��<��" ¢��have allowed it for myself. The morning of the surgery ar-�*�"�� "��"�"�<�'��¢��=��"�Samaritan Hospital. John and I were � ��<�� to get underway and in came Janey-- full of cheer and energy. John was delighted to see her and so was �� <�� -�� *��"��$��<��us. But she was there and she was a delight and a comfort. She prayed for John before the nurses whisked him away to surgery.�� ?� ��<��"�$�� <��"�� $��'�

I was wrong.�� "�� } ��<��during the surgery and while I was totally reluctant to impose on her (again), I was secretly comforted that she was going to stay.��%��+�"��"�� <��and I learned that her son was preparing to leave for Afghanistan where he would serve as a heli-copter pilot--in fact, the coming weekend would be his last one at home before deployment.

THE CURATE’S CORNER

Theology on TapExpandsBy The Rev. Janey Wilson


What happens when we see the light of Christ? The Apostle Paul literally saw it. On the road to

Damascus, on his way to persecute � "�� '��saw a light so bright that it was liter-ally blinding.
