ST. PETER’S KEYS The newsletter of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church

LETTER FROM OUR RECTOR

Dear People of St. Peter’s, Several weeks ago we heard an extraordinary Gospel! An inspiration for our community of faith and our life together. A simple story really. Jesus is surrounded by many people who seek his wisdom, his healing presence, his guidance. Jesus is moved by their longing for closeness with God. He sustains them with his care and compassion. In the 14th Chapter of Matthew he feeds them all, more than 5,000 total, with just two fish and five loaves. It is more than enough! For 333 years folks have been coming to Lewes seeking new opportunities, and new life. Some have been born and died here; others have been here for a briefer season. Everyone has had the same basic needs; physical, emotional and spiritual. Saint Peter’s began because some folks in this town were looking for a spiritual sanctuary; a place to encounter God in community. We’ve met in a home, a small courthouse and simple building. We’ve faced our share of challenges and hardships, but through it all, by seeking God, we have always had more than enough! As we approach the end of the calendar year, it is time to plan for what we will try to do in the next. In the last couple of years we have been concentrating on strengthening two crucial elements in particular. First, we have recognized the desire for excellence in our liturgy and music. We not only have five regular and distinct Eucharists each week, but also daily Morning Prayer. Our talented Music Minister T.J. Thomas has expanded our music program, offering a rich mix of opportunities for participation and praise. We celebrate all the major feasts, and allow different experiences to feed individual souls—it is one of the things we are known for and it is more than enough! Our second major focus has been on Christian formation for all ages; especially children. At each baptism, we all have promised “by (our) prayers and witness to help (children) grow into the full stature in Christ.” We received a vision to fill a growing gap in our community and to actively seek to welcome young families. We have selected a strong curriculum and recruited an awesome family minister in Mende George. Our Sunday school and Vacation Bible School have taken off and we have had to reconfigure space to make a place for every child who wants to be here. God has indeed blessed us and it has been more than enough! YOU have made all of this possible. Your pledge of financial support has enabled us to answer God’s call and grow. We’ve welcomed new members and families. We have fed each other’s souls. We have reached out in compassion to our community and made a difference in the lives of those in great need. For the first time we have pledges exceeding 200 households supporting our budget (out of 450 households). We have had steady and consistent growth in the right direction. We have done it all because of your support and it has been more than enough!

INSIDE THIS ISSUE:

Volume 9, Issue 10 RECTOR’S CORNER Page 2

This year we are beginning our pledge campaign a little earlier in order to not be so rushed at the end of the year. Soon, our Treasurer and Stewardship Chair will share with you our budget for 2015 and we will ask for your support. My thanks to Lowell Fleischer and Tom Crowley for their dedicated efforts in putting this all together. Despite the challenges of maintaining our ministries and old buildings, we are planning no major growth in our expenses. We turn to you to help us sustain what we have been able to do. Help us meet the challenge! Helps us to have more than enough! It looks like we will have a short fall. While we are blessed with some investments that help pay some of our expenses, our biggest source of income is our members. We just can’t do it without you! If you are not yet pledging, please start. It is an enormous help to the Vestry to know what you hope to give in the coming year so they can build a budget. It is just a simple pledge that is kept completely confidential: if the challenges of life intervene, no one will press upon you if you fall short. If you are pledging, please do your best to stay at least at the same level. If you are feeling particularly mindful of God’s blessings, consider being at least a fish or loaf! What do I mean by this? In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus fed the multitude with two fish and five loaves. We need fishes and loaves; consider increasing your pledge like a fish ($2 a week—the cost of a soft drink) or loaf ($5 a week—the cost of a sandwich). If we get enough loaves and fishes we can meet our budget shortfall and it will be more than enough! Please keep me in your prayers and know that you are daily in mine. Faithfully, Jeffrey

Volume 9, Issue 10 STEPHEN MINISTRY — CHEF’S CORNER Page 6

EVER THOUGHT ABOUT BECOMING A STEPHEN MINISTER? St. Peter’s will be training another class of Stephen Ministers this fall. Stephen Ministers work alongside our pastors to care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support to people who are going through a difficult time, such as divorce, grief, hospitalization, unemployment, terminal illness, relocation, chronic illness, or loneliness. If you have gifts for caring, encouragement, and listening, please begin to prayerfully consider whether you might want to be part of this exciting ministry. If you think you might be interested, talk with one of our Stephen Ministry Leaders, Father Jeff, or email stephen@stpeterslewes.org.

“So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer” (Ezra 8:23).

WHAT IS A STEPHEN MINISTER? Our congregation’s Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide confidential one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives. A Stephen Minister is: A child of God who walks bedside a person who is hurting A congregation member with gifts for care-giving who carefully selected to serve in

this role A lay person who has received 50 hours of training in providing emotional and

spiritual care A caring, Christian friend who listens, cares, prays, support, and encourages Someone who will “be there” for his or her care receiver, meeting faithfully for about

TIDBITS FROM THE PAST ... St. Peter’s is fortunate to have Don Matthew’s expertise; he is recognized as St. Peter’s historian and archivist when it comes to the history of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. We have reviewed some of these records and wish to share some of these tidbits with you.

In November 1999, Don wrote about the Sunday School stained glass window stating the children and youth of St. Peter’s have been active in the life of our parish since its founding in the 17th Century. Early Vestry records mention the Sunday School, and even a Boy Choir in the early 1900s. How times have changed with our present make-up of our Choristers. For many years young people have served as Acolytes at our worship services, which continues today. One obvious contribution that young people have made to the church is the stained glass window located at the right front side of the nave commonly referred to as “The Sunday School Window.” Over a period of time beginning in the late 1800’s, the Sunday School children contributed pennies to a special fund to raise the money for the purchase of the window, which was finally installed in 1905. The window illustrates Jesus as a young boy standing in the temple surrounded by three teachers. In the bottom panel is the simple inscription:

St. Peter’s - Sunday School - 1905

How amazing it is that the youth contributed to a fine mission and stewardship of the parish in this project. Today, Mende George, our Family and Youth Minister, guides this ministry with our children and youth,

which is fully funded through pledges of our parish family.

Do you know how many churches have been built in what we now call Saint Peter’s Square? Three! The first St. Peter’s Church (1724) built in front of the present building in the northeast corner of the churchyard. It was built on an East to West axis with the sanctuary at the east end, a custom of the time. This accounts for the odd arrangement of the grave stones with the headstones at the east end of the graves in parts of the cemetery. The Reverend William Beckett in 1721 described the church as “40 feet in length 25 broad in frame wood, the roof covered with Cypress shingles and the wall with boards of the same wood; wainscoted with Cypress plank as high as the tops of pews .. the number of people frequenting the church I reckon .. about 150.”

Vestry minutes record the building of the second church in 1808 as follows: “The Wardens, Vestry, Trustees, and other Members of the Congregation of St. Peter’s at Lewes having agreed to build a New Church of the same size of the Old one, and to set it about 30 or 40 feet to the South and West of the old Church, which was so much decayed .. it would not bear repairing. The New Church was raised in June, and on 15 September 1808, the Reverend James Wiltbank preached a sermon in the new church.”

In 1848, it was decided to build a new building to replace the second church “which was much decayed and badly constructed for a house of worship.”

In 1853 the old church was moved to the southwest corner of Third Street and eventually sold around 1903 for $200 and moved to a farm on what is now Route 1 where it was used as a barn, which fell down in the 1950s. Originally, the third church called for a wooden building but these plans were changed to a brick building. Records indicate that The Right Reverend Alfred Lee, Bishop of Delaware, laid the cornerstone of the new building on 27 May 1854. The steeple was added in 1870, a sacristy and other rooms were added to the rear of the church all by 1903.

We are blessed to have our present church, which has experienced some of the same issues as its predecessors, such as water damage, wood rot, termites and the like. Fortunately we are richly blessed at St. Peter’s with financial, spiritual and ministerial gifts. We have a great responsibility to be worthy stewards of our church and to maintain what God has given us and to use it wisely. In preparing our 2015 budget we ask all the church members to pledge whatever amount they can to support these important “foundations” that make us what we are at St. Peter’s.

MEN’S GROUP MONTHLY BREAKFASTS OCTOBER 4, 2014

Our first breakfast at our new location at the Ocean Grill in September went well with great food, fellowship and Dennis Forney’s exciting presentation on our new Lewes library. This month we will have a social and fellowship meeting, and in November we will be hearing from Lewes’ Representative on Sussex County Council, Ms. Joan Deaver. Mayor Ted Becker is scheduled after the New Year.

Please remember to call the Church Office no later than to help us plan seating and service for our October meeting. This will be a great meeting to attend because it will allow for more time for conversation that meetings with a

formal speaker. In you have come before, please come again and bring a church friend. If you have not come before, this is a really friendly bunch of guys who want to welcome you. The new location offers a full menu with individual checks, a private dining room, and ample free parking space, great service, and has no mobility barriers.

If you have any questions about this group, or require help with directions or transportation, please contact Bob Wardwell at 644-4234 or dandbwardwell@verizon.net. Please join us. Whether you are a member of St. Peter’s or not but would simply enjoy the company of other men who share the faith and values of this church community, please join us for breakfast and fellowship. This is a very welcoming, cordial, and informal group in which everyone feels welcome.

FROM THE REAR PEW — OBSERVATIONS FROM PERREN (The Reverend E. Perren Hayes) The Book of Common Prayer Group continues to meet on Mondays at 9am in the Sacristy of the church. This is not a “building” kind of program, so you may enter it at any time and perhaps find it useful. One of the most difficult things following the American Revolution was to accept the separation of church and state. Since the time of Constantine (306 AD), the Catholic church (which includes the Anglican Communion) had always been associated with the central government. This was Constantine’s way of controlling the church: thus assuring Constantine an empire to govern! The Church of England was established by Pope Gregory the Great, when in 599 he sent Augustine and other Benedictine Associates to England. Augustine met members of a very early establishment of the church, and they all tried to work together. King William I (1066 AD) brought the English church into a closer relationship with Rome. But the Magna Carta (1215 AD) contains this in the first statement: this Church of England shall always be free. This meant free from both church and state; but things slid back and forth until the time of Henry VIII. It should be noted however, that money collected from the English Church—Peter’s Pence, it was called—provided the vast majority of the funds needed to build the present St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican! Please plan to come, and let me know by using my personal email: kypieeleison@gmail.com.

Bible Study meets every Tuesday at 10:00am in the conference room. Everyone

is welcome, and everyone is encouraged to attend.

Our knit/crochet group meets the 3rd Monday of each month at 10:30am in the

Conference Room. For more information, contact Carole Somers 645.1906 or Mary Shea 644.2516.

He holds a doctorate from Duke

University, master degree from Duke University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Delaware (1972). Dr. Wilson has practiced in Delaware since 1984. Dr. Wilson has been qualified as an expert

witness in both the Family and Superior courts in Delaware.

compositions for both organ and choir have been performed and broadcast in both the US and UK and at RSCM America summer residential courses. Robert has accompanied two silent films, Nosferatu (1922) and The Phantom of the Opera (1925), and won first place at the American Guild of Organists National Competition in Organ Improvisation in 2012. Robert is married to Emma Nicholls PhD, a pediatric Clinical Psychologist whom he met next door in Evansville. They are proud parents of Elena (8) and William (5).

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, SILENT MOVIE WITH ORGAN ACCOMPANIMENT FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24 @ 7 PM This is an event you won’t want to miss! Robert will improvise organ accompaniment to the 1925 film The Phantom of the Opera starring Lon Chaney.

DID YOU KNOW? A Long before it was the “environmentally friendly” thing to do, our mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers were keeping

their homes clean and fresh smelling by using harmless, everyday items found in their own kitchens cupboards.

Of course, my guess is many of you reading this never knew a time when Windex (1933), Comet cleanser (1956), and good old Mr. Clean (1958) weren’t a part of most home’s cleaning supplies. It would also be my guess very few folks knew that when Harry R. Drackett invented Windex in 1933 it was almost 100% solvent and was so flammable it had to be sold in metal cans. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki). Following World War II, however, the product was reformulated and sold in glass bottles with plastic sprayers. (Thank goodness!)

Even though early cleansers made with tallow and finely ground quartz (Bon Ami-1886) or pumicite (Old Dutch Cleanser-1923) were relatively gentle scouring powders they didn’t have disinfecting properties. So, when “ S c r a t c h F r e e C o m e t w i t h B l e a c h Disinfectant” (containing 1.2% sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione dihydrate {a derivative of cyanuric acid} and 98.8% "other" ingredients) became available in 1956 it pretty much became the “go to cleanser” in most homes. After all, it claimed to remove both grime and germs and anyone taking the time to read the information on the label would also know that: “Mixing Comet with other cleaners, specifically dish soap, toilet bowl cleaners and products that contain ammonia is dangerous.” (Whoopie!)

Unfortunately, space doesn’t permit me to give you the low-down on Mr. Clean, but “googling him” proved quite interesting. He’s gone through numerous changes and “improvements” in the last 56 years and yet, he hasn’t aged a bit! (We humans should be so lucky!)

But, I digress. What I really wanted to share with you this month was some information I found in the magazine First for Women several years ago. The article, “Spiffy in a Jiffy - Miracle Cleaners (right in your cupboard!)” consisted of a chart listing a dozen ways to use white

vinegar, baking soda, salt, lemon juice and rubbing alcohol to tackle everyday cleaning tasks without resorting to harsh chemicals.

Not only are these “natural cleaners” more economical than commercial ones they are by far much more people and environmentally friendly. I’d call that a win–win for the health of those we love, our earth and our wallets, wouldn’t you? Perhaps you’d be interested in trying some of them.

Here are several examples from the chart:

WHITE VINEGAR — Low-price laundry lifter: One cup white vinegar added to your load of wash eliminates odors (like mildew and urine) by killing the bacteria that cause them. It also keeps colors from fading and prevents lint buildup by softening fibers and reducing static cling. BAKING SODA — Scratch-free scouring powder: Clean soap scum in and around the tub with a sprinkling of baking soda (just as you would with Ajax or Comet). This nonabrasive substance is a mild alkali, which breaks up dirt and grease so you don’t have to scrub so hard! SALT — Get-the-red-out eraser: Tough stains like blood, berry juice and wine threatening to ruin your favorite tee? Mix ¼ cup salt and 1 Tbs. water to form a paste; apply directly to stain, then rinse after a half an hour. The salt breaks down stain-setting pigments and proteins. LEMON JUICE — Miracle mirror cleaner: Wipe down chrome fixtures and mirrors with a solution made from 1 Tbs. lemon juice and 1 quart water. The mild citric acid cuts through grease and mineral deposits to get reflective surfaces gleaming. RUBBING ALCOHOL — Instant odor-eater: Spritz away that summertime shoe smell with a squirt or two of rubbing alcohol. This quick-dry technique kills the mold and bacteria that cause sandal stinkies in the first place.

You can check out the complete “Miracle Cleaners” chart by going to the St. Peter’s website at: http://stpeterslewes.org/#/outreach -missions/environmental

While we are more than willing to advertise an event you are supportive of, we also maintain the discretion to withhold from printing due to space limitations, etc. If you belong to, or enjoy, an organization with upcoming events, and would like to see it mentioned in the ‘Events Around Town’ page of the newsletter, please contact secretary@stpeterslewes.org.
