Sword Points Jesus Transforming Lives Through Sword Points Jesus June7, 2012 www.saintpaulsbrookfield.com (203) 775-9587 † Twenty One To Be Confirmed on Sunday his Sunday at the 10:30 am service 13 members of St. Paul’s will receive the T Sacrament of Confirmation, four will reaffirm their baptismal vows and four will be received into the Episcopal Church by The Right Reverend Jeffery Rowthorn, who will be the preacher and celebrant at the service. This is a great moment for St. Paul’s and a sign of our growth as a parish. This an excellent time for us as a parish to support the movement of the Holy Spirit among us. Confirmation is the Rite of the Church which recognizes a person's public and mature affirmation of faith in Jesus Christ and which, through the laying on of hands by a bishop, calls forth the strengthening and sustaining presence of the Holy Spirit in a person's life. Confirmation for teenagers and for adults is an intensely personal moment of prayer and commitment. It is neither the beginning of our life with Christ or some kind of statement of the completion of our formation as people of Christ. Holy Baptism, by water in the name of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is the Sacrament of full membership in the Body of Christ, and each of us is called, throughout our lives, to grow deeper in love, commitment, and service of our Lord. In our Christian journey, Confirmation is a Rite of renewal and empowerment. Within the Anglican tradition, confirmation by a bishop in apostolic succession is a mark of our individual union with the Church catholic. The service of Confirmation gives each individual confirmand the opportunity to claim, within the midst of the gathered Church, his or her identity as a Christian who chooses to live out their faith within the Episcopal Church. Every Confirmation provides the opportunity for the whole gathered community to renew the faith and promises of the Baptismal Covenant. ur Rector Emeritus, the Rev. George Crocker will preach at the 8:00 am worship O service this Sunday. † Ladies AM Bible Study he Ladies Tuesday AM Bible Study will T continue to meet on a more informal basis on Tuesdays at 9:30 am beginning June 19th. They will be studying the only two books in the Bible named for women, Ruth and Esther. The book of Ruth shows how three people remained strong in character even when the society around them was collapsing. It is a book of encouragement and demonstrates that God is at work in the world and wants to use you. The book of Esther is a story of the profound interplay of God’s sovereignty; human will and his loving care for all of his people. Please join us for coffee and discussion on how God works in the lives of ordinary people. For a Study Book, please call or email Donna Betts at 203.830.9415 or [email protected]. † This Week at St. Paul’s Thu., June 7 - 7:30 pm - Mission Committee, Guild Room 7:30 pm - Property Committee, Upper Classroom 7:30 pm - Music Night, Sanctuary Sat., June 9 - 7:30 am - Men’s Prayer Breakfast, Parish Hall Sun., June 10 - Second Sunday after Pentecost 8:00 am - Traditional Eucharist 9:15 am - Adult Christian Education, Guild Room 10:30 am - Sunday School 10:30 am - Contemporary Eucharist/Confirmation 12:00 pm - Church Picnic 5:00 pm - Youth Group 6:15 pm - Vespers w/Holy Eucharist Mon., June 11 - Saint Barnabas, Apostle Tue., June 12 - 7:00 pm - Grief Group, Guild Room Wed., June 13 - 10:00 am - Holy Eucharist and Healing 6:30 pm - Staff Meeting, Tuck Room 7:30 pm - Vestry Meeting Thu., June 14 - 1:00 pm - Dorothy Day Ministry, Danbury 7:30 pm - Music Night, Sanctuary † Sermon Shorts n Trinity Sunday, O Fr.

Construction started almost immediately. To the left of our front door are two cornerstones. One from the 1837 building and our current 1937 stone. Other than several black & white uncaptioned photos of the cornerstone laying, that’s about all we knew. Then recently Stuart Terrill graced us with a newspaper article from the Danbury News-Times loaded with the details! 4 5 † Friendship Caravan - Tzofim zofim is the Israel Scouts Organization, a Zionist national youth movement T structured to foster positive leadership, nurture a strong Jewish identify, encourage social responsibility and to support community building. On Monday, June 4, after an introduction by Rabbi Jon Haddon, President of the Danbury Jewish Federation, a group of about 12 Israeli teenagers shared stories and performed songs and dances representing Israeli culture. The members of the “Friendship Caravan” are carefully selected and trained to carry out a three-month mission in North America: to teach, learn and create lifelong friendships. After a short tour in the Greater Danbury area, the group will head to the mid-west for the remainder of the summer. There are three other Tzofim Friendship Caravan groups touring to other areas. The goal of the movement is to provide a variety of social activities and educational experiences. The scout troops include a diverse population including children and teenagers from across all parts of Israel, new immigrants, secular and religious and children with special needs. Songs included Born for Peace “Noladti Lashalom” which expresses the role they take as Israelis and as Scouts to pursue peace; the “Hora”, a medley of songs and dance among others. They ended their set with “Halleluiah which in Hebrew means “Praise God”. In the audience were members of St. Paul’s, John and Elaine Skewis, Pam and David Szen and many Christians from our communities. Vespers During the summer Vespers will be held on the 2nd Sunday of the month and will include Holy Communion. 6 utwardly n June 22nd St Paul’s OWN will be having O O their summer “Lock-in.” We’ll be starting at 7 pm on Friday, and finishing up at 7 am on Saturday itnessing morning.

  • OF US EVANGELISTS in JESUS' NAME Lessons
    The Rt. Rev. Jeffery Rowthorn May 6, 2012 The Fifth Sunday of Easter Bishop in Europe, retired 11:15 a.m. Christ & Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Westport, CT ALL OF US EVANGELISTS IN JESUS’ NAME Lessons: Acts 8:26-40; 1 John 4:7-21; John 15:1-8 Text: “Philip began to speak and, starting with this scripture he proclaimed to him the good news about Jesus ….[Then] both of them went down into the water …. and Philip baptized him.” (Acts 8: 35, 38a) ____________________________________________________________________________________ When it comes to evangelism, many of us can identify with Jonah, God’s most reluctant evangelist. Commanded by God to go to Nineveh, he goes instead to Joppa where he finds a ship that can take him to the other end of the Mediterranean. He goes west when he should be going east, and that’s not because he has a very poor sense of geography! No, it’s because the ship is a welcome escape-hatch for this most reluctant evangelist. There could hardly be a greater contrast to Jonah than Philip whom we heard about in our first reading this morning. Philip has been preaching the Gospel in Samaria. Then, in response to God’s command, he goes south towards Gaza. On the way he encounters a senior minister of the Queen of Ethiopia who is now returning home from Jerusalem. And in that encounter Philip shows himself, in three crucial respects, to be not a reluctant but a willing evangelist for Jesus. First of all, he is responsive to the Holy Spirit: “Then the Spirit said to Philip, ‘Go over to that chariot and join it’ So Philip ran up to it and heard the Ethiopian reading the prophet Isaiah.” (Acts 8:29-30a) Secondly, he is responsive to the man’s questions and concerns: “ ‘How can I understand what I am reading unless someone guides me?’… .

Douglas Wilder Library Virginia Union University Compiled by Suzanne K. Stevenson, Special Collections Librarian Michelle A. Taylor, Technical Services Librarian Library Bibliography Series ©Spring 2002 1 PREFACE Since 1998, Dr. Jon Michael Spencer has donated more than 1,100 books from his personal research library as well as selected journals, microfilm of historic papers and research documentation to the L. Douglas Wilder Library at Virginia Union University. The subject areas reflect his specialties in the history and theology of African-American sacred and secular music, African history and slave culture, and African-American history and sociology. The collection includes a significant number of hymnals from various denominations. The former University of Richmond music and American studies professor is now a professor of religious studies at the University of South Carolina. He earned a music degree from Hampton University and completed graduate work in music composition as well as theology at Washington University and Duke Divinity School. Spencer donated this extensive collection to VUU for several reasons. Until the summer 2000, he was a resident of Richmond and VUU was the city’s African American university. As well, VUU has a School of Theology and Spencer has published extensively in the area of religion. Finally, his architect father, John H. Spencer, participated in the design of the Wilder library. It is in the elder Spencer’s name that Dr. Spencer has donated his collections. The books are housed in the library’s closed collections.
