The Birds and the Bees

Within this past year, like many of you, I have found myself with a stronger focus on things that offer me normalcy. In a world where so many things are turned upside down, I have spent more time staring at and appreciating nature Choral Evensong and images that would have gone unnoticed in the past. In quieter moments of my life, when I am sitting on my sofa May 16 at 5 p.m. having a cup of tea or driving home when there are fewer cars streaming online: on Atlanta’s roads, I reflect on what God has blessed us to still have in this life rather than what has been lost. To be sure, StLukes.org Facebook YouTube we have lost a lot. I think that we must continue to engage Sung by the St. Luke’s choirs with music by the griefwork on our losses this past year. However, I find it equally important that Brewer, Mendelssohn, Shephard, and Wilby. we stop and smell the roses and appreciate the beautiful azaleas (my favorite flower) and other things all around us. Pre-Evensong Organ Recital at 4:15 p.m. In a recent drive home, I noticed wings in my periphery. At first glance, I thought In-person and online that it was a plane flying above. As I looked upward, I saw two birds flying in their normal synchronized way, gliding in the air with perfect timing. I smiled, taking St. Luke’s welcomes in the moment. The week before I had stood outside transfixed on a bee. I found former myself captivated by this bee, offering its own flight show for me, buzzing and Music Director landing on a flower and then another, doing the normal pollination thing that bees Robert Poovey do. In the sunset of a gorgeous Atlanta spring day, I experienced a washing over of gratitude to God for this reminder that the world is still moving with birds and bees doing what they always have done. And later, as if God wanted to punctuate God’s streaming live online: point, while waiting at a traffic light, I saw a pregnant mother on her front lawn StLukes.org Facebook YouTube playing ball with her toddler. In-person seating is limited, registration required: Last week on my birthday, April 22, we celebrated Earth Day, followed by last Sun- stlukesatlanta.org/music-at-st-lukes-series/ day’s service honoring nature and creation. Each year it is a time that we set aside to appreciate the beauty of the earth, as Eucharistic Prayer C names it, “our island home.” It is also a reminder of our responsibility to take care of this gift from God, currently challenged by climate change, greenhouses gases, and human failures inside this issue of pollution, waste, and toxins. In our Holy Scripture, we read about this normal gift of the birds, bees, flowers, and trees at a time when so much of what we have Community Ministries ...... 2 known is not normal. God’s words remind us, however, that a virus cannot destroy Foyer Groups ...... 3 this normal: “and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given Formation ...... 4-5 every green plant for food…God saw everything that God had made, and indeed, it Announcements ...... 6 was very good (Genesis 1:30, 31).” Yes, this normal is very good, indeed!

Our virtual (Zoom) foyer groups have been popular, and St. Luke’s is offering another round of gatherings this spring/summer. These are online social gatherings where parish- ioners check-in about how they are doing and share stories and laughs. Many previous participants commented that these weekly gatherings became a touchstone for feeling connected to old friends and making new ones.

Here is how our Virtual Foyer Groups will work during the spring/summer session: Mul- tiple foyer groups meeting each week for four weeks between Sunday, May 30 and Friday, June 25. These group get-togethers will occur on the same day and at the same time each week, and they should last about an hour. In addition to the open-to-all sessions set by day of the week, there will be alternate options for those wishing to choose a group formed around Sojourners (anyone 50+), POLO (Parents of Little Ones), LGBTQ, or Parents of Teens. Groups will be limited in size to keep the sessions intimate. Spouses/partners will be paired together if they register together. Gatherings will take place via Zoom, an easy to use, popular video conferencing platform. The foyer group format will be all about connecting socially. All one needs to participate in a group is a computer, tablet, or smart phone with camera and microphone built in.

We invite you to join us as we continue this way of engaging with the parish; it is fun and easy. If you are interested in participating in a St. Luke’s Virtual Foyer Group, click the link below or visit the sign-up page on the church website to add your name to the list! Please register by Sunday, May 23.

Sign up online for the Sundays at 4 PM (open to all) Thursdays at 7:30 PM (open to all) day and group that suits Thursdays at 7:30 PM (Parents of Little Ones) you. Mondays at 7:30 PM (LGBTQ) Thursdays at 7:30 PM (Parents of Teens) Mondays at 7:30 PM (for Sojourners 50+) Thursdays at 7:30 PM (for Sojourners 50+) Tuesdays at 7:30 PM (open to all) Click here to sign up>> Tuesdays at 7:30 PM (for Sojourners 50+) Fridays at 7:30 PM (open to all)

Reawakening at Respite Care Atlanta

One of our church’s newest ministries is Respite Care Atlanta (RCA), a faith-based organization providing activities and services for families struggling with dementia. St. Luke’s has joined eight other churches and synagogues in bringing cognitive exercises and great joy to members (those individuals suffering from dementia) and respite to those caregivers (usually spouses) who need time to take care of themselves. The fast moving RCA day might include: a morning devotional, physical exercise, cognitive games, arts and crafts, and music. Of course, in-person RCA programming has been suspended for BREAKING over a year. We have focused on virtual presentations, Flower Ministry, and the occasional NEWS: drive through event (July 4th, Halloween) to stay connected with member families. That is expected to change soon. Hallelujah! Like St. Luke’s, RCA is proceeding, as Dr. Fauci might RCA will reopen say, with an “overabundance of caution” in planning for a soft opening this summer. That means shorter hours, fewer members and volunteers, and perhaps a two day per week pro- for limited gram. Full vaccinations will be required for anyone entering the RCA space at Second Ponce in-person de Leon Baptist Church. Once we discern what the “new normal” looks like, full in-person programming programming is expected to return in the fall. The summer “reawakening” date for RCA is the week of expected to be announced in the next few weeks. June 21. The pandemic has taken an outsized toll on those suffering with dementia. Deprived of most life-giving social interaction, many have been in sharp decline. Caregivers have been Hallelujah!! stressed to the breaking point. As we prepare for the “reawakening,” please take a moment to enjoy the 3-minute video linked here and experience the joy that we felt at RCA pre- Covid, as well as mourn for some who have gone on ahead... For additional information, please contact John Stewart ([email protected]), Carter Morris (chmorris@mind- spring.com), or visit our website at (respitecareatlanta.org). If you are unable to access the video from the link above, you can find it on the RCA homepage. 3 Faith & Advocacy Network (FAN) Presents Pandemic as Portal

Many people were deeply disillusioned by the past session of the Georgia General Assembly, where the acrimonious debate and dis- play of power politics garnered national attention and created local revulsion, even outrage. There are no winners, only losers, in this type of political combat.

So, the Faith and Advocacy Network (FAN) is NOT summoning anyone back into the political arena: the arena of action. Rather, these classes on Sunday evenings at 5 p.m. in May create a space for discernment about issues that are central to our baptismal cove- nant. Instead of asserting partisan or ideological arguments, these classes demonstrate what is possible when vision is harnessed to dismantling systems of racism that have created and perpetuated inequities of class and caste. We are highlighting results produced by people of goodwill who build bridges for the common good, particularly for people living on the margins and whose well-being is entrusted to those who follow Jesus.

“Pandemic as Portal” is our theme because we want to use learnings gleaned from our book studies, forums, and classes to usher us into a new normal, when future actions will be based on the spiritual considerations of atonement and reconciliation. Above all, we are convinced that only love can guide us to the beloved community that is our post-pandemic goal. These classes are designed to reflect that conviction.

Please register to join us on the following Sunday evenings at 5 PM on Zoom: https://www.stlukesatlanta.org/advocacy/

May 2—The Fierce Urgency of Now: Countering the Impact of Income Inequality The gap between wealthy Americans and all other economic groups is wider than at any other time in the nation’s history. For Black citizens and other communities of color, the unequal impact of the pandemic and the ensuing economic crisis has reinforced historic inequities in housing, education, and healthcare, among other systems essential to the well-being of all communities. There is a growing conviction among civic, religious, and political leaders that attempts to address pandemic-driven increases in income inequality must therefore give special consideration to communities of color. This class will focus on our neighboring community – the Old Fourth Ward – where long-time residents are being displaced by gentrification. An Economic Security Task Force, led by Councilmember Amir Farouki, is sponsoring a pilot project to test the -ef fectiveness of direct income supports to counter this unhappy exodus. Alternative policies and legislative remedies at both federal and state levels will also be cited, as well as other community partners. ZOOM LINK>>>

May 9— Addressing Child Trauma Caused by COVID Suffer the little children to come unto me…… During a legislative session dominated by gnashing of teeth and deepening divide between political parties, a major ray of light broke through. Children, who have been largely invisible and voiceless participants in the crisis enveloping their families, were lifted up by legislators as a group deserving of special attention and support. Parental job loss, housing and income instability, academic and social disruptions, and increased isolation were cited as major causes of stress and emotional disturbance. This class describes how citizen advocates and legislators came together to forge a bipartisan coalition of concern that resulted in major new investments in behavioral health programs, school-based counseling, and expanded Medicaid coverage for children in greatest need. ZOOM LINK>>>

May 16— Eviction Prevention: Countering Homelessness The Trump and Biden administrations shared one largely unheralded concern: that massive waves of evictions caused by pandemic-driven unemployment threatened a tsunami of newly homeless citizens. To counter this frightening threat, both presidents committed major funds to programs and strategies designed to protect both tenants and landlords. But widespread concern about whether massive emergency funding would actually reach the intended recipients, mobilized tal- ented leaders in the public and non-profit sectors to design effective state and local entities to implement this important national priority. Tony Johns will describe the pivotal role Crossroads and other non-profits have played in tackling this urgent task of eviction prevention. This class will also describe how state government, United Way and other key collaborators exerted heroic efforts to quickly create the agency infrastructure necessary to make good on this massive federal investment in preserving affordable housing and avoiding displacement.

4 St. Luke’s is offering its second series of Sacred Ground Dialogue Circles that are open to any of our community members who would like to participate. Sacred Ground is the Episcopal Church’s 10-part, film- and reading-based discussion series. The curriculum confronts the historical roots of systemic racism and examines how that history still shapes American institutions and social interactions today. Each circle is limited to ten people, and as groups fill up more will be added. Currently, two circles are planned:

SUNDAY Dialogue Circle THURSDAY Dialogue Circle Meeting time: 5-7 p.m. Meeting time: 6-8 p.m. Location: Zoom Location: Zoom Begins: Sunday, May 16 Begins: Thursday, May 20 Subsequent meeting dates: Subsequent meeting dates: May 30, June 13 and 27, July 11 and 25, June 3 and 17, July 1, 15, and 29, August 12 August 8 and 22, September 12 and 26 and 26, September 9 and 23

Thousands of Episcopalians around the country have already participated in Sacred Ground circles. The national church reports that 1,712 circles have registered for the series across 92 dioceses! Perhaps this is because Sacred Ground is a prayerful resource that creates space for difficult but respectful and transformative dialogue on race and racism. Through the curriculum we walk back through history in order to peel away the layers that brought us to today, reflecting on family histories and stories, as well as important narratives that shape the collective Ameri- can story.

We hold the vision of beloved community where all people are honored and protected and nurtured as beloved children of God, where we weep at one another’s pain and seek one another’s flourishing as the sacred ground to- ward which we are working. Through discussion, study, prayer, and reflection we move towards a space of deeper understanding, of more profound awareness compelling us towards action and advocacy for a more just society and world.

About the Sacred Ground curriculum: •It is built around powerful documentary films and readings, which will serve as the jumping-off point for dialogue. •The series brings participants’ attention to various key chapters in U.S. history of race and racism, as well some of the latest thinking by scholars and practitioners of racial healing, racial equity, and whiteness. •It focuses on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian American histories as they intersect with European American histories. •It emphasizes personal story-sharing and deepening relationships.
