WEARING THE CROSS… It is not to say one is right over the other, but rather what Lately, many “Karen” videos have caught my attention on is practiced over what is recognized. The empty cross YouTube. These are recordings of public rants against enhances the representation of the incarnate love of God in wearing masks at stores, and racist behaviors.

Though I understand that cross has recognize the suffering death of Christ of body and blood become simply an accessory to many, to Christians, our in our sacrament of The Lord’s Supper as Christ’s atoning accessory of the cross needs to be worn with intention and sacrifice that made the forgiveness of our sins possible. understanding. Though the symbol of the cross was a cruel instrument of To be clear, wearing the cross as an accessory is not wrong. death in ancient times, for Christians, it is a symbol of God’s The Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th edition, records: “From blessing of unconditional love shown and given in Jesus its simplicity of form, the cross has been used both as a Christ. It is not a symbol of pride and self-righteousness, religious symbol and as an ornament from the dawn of but a symbol of our imperfections redeemed through faith, man’s civilization. Various objects, dating from periods long reminding us of humility and God’s mercy and grace. anterior [preceding] to the Christian era, have been found, In the Old Testament, God instructed the people to wear marked with crosses of different designs, in almost every the symbols of the covenant as a reminder of their faith part of the old world” (Vol. 7, p. 506).

But Jesus instructs us further to show in his book The Cross: Its History and Symbolism, writes: our spirit of faith through action. “In the same way, let your “Centuries before the Christian era ancient crosses were in light shine before others, so that they may see your good use as pagan emblems. They have been found carved in works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” stone dating back to remote ages” (p. 16). (Matthew 5:16) 1 STEWARDSHIP REPORT We may be in the midst of a pandemic but stewardship is alive and well at PCOP! Since March 22 we have been worshiping together virtually. On June 21, we added in- person worship for those that felt comfortable worshiping in our sanctuary. Through the tireless efforts of RJ, Jack Kang, Bill Bedsole and sound and facilities teams, the quality of the broadcast service improves each week. We are blessed that Crystalyn and Ingrid are comfortable sharing their musical talents with us weekly. Each week, RJ does a children’s moment via Zoom and the children then have Sunday School with Miss Wendy, also by Zoom. Whether you attend the in-person service or the virtual service it is wonderful that we are able to worship together as a church family. We have continued working on the New Beginnings Program (that began before the pandemic) and one exciting outcome from this program is the transformation of the old “Deacon’s Kitchen” into a PCOP Food Pantry. Working with the social worker from Winston Campus, we will initially provide food to some of the families in need. Fall is here and so are we. Project Apple Tree is a Pentecost mission project and although the campaign looked somewhat different this year, mainly virtual, we were able to donate a good amount of school supplies and $75 in donations to the Township. The 2020 Palatine Township Apple Tree Campaign provided 783 underprivileged children a pre-packed backpack filled with class specific school supplies. Sharon Langlotz-Johnson, President of the Needy Family Fund and Palatine Township Supervisor, added this hand written note to the thank you letter that we received. “Thank you all! We could not do it without your help!” Personally, I find it rewarding to help the children of our community through programs like Apple Tree. Judging by the amount school supplies donated by us this year, I’m certain that we all feel rewarded by our gifts to the Township Apple Tree Campaign. The Pentecost team also collected books for the Winston Campus. Sixty-nine books were collected for grades K through 6. These books were delivered to the principal to be used at her discretion. Thank you for giving so generously to both Project Apple Tree and the Winston Campus Book Drive. Our giving is such a blessing for so many underprivileged children in our community. The Garden Ministry Team has also helped the less fortunate by delivering fresh vegetables to the Township Food Pantry every week. In this year of extremes, too wet in the spring, too dry in July and August, our gardeners have continued to nurture the plots and offer a continuous supply of fresh vegetables to the food pantry. Thanks to everyone who gives their time and talents to this very important ministry. In the midst of a pandemic we are an active church, reaching out to help our community, and are able to provide a meaningful worship experience for all. God has provided us with the opportunity to share our time, talent and resources to benefit our congregation and our community. Praise God, Amen. Bruce Churchill – elder 2 SPIRITUAL FITNESS I have been taking physical therapy sessions due to issues with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder, causing pain in my jaw. Unsurprisingly, this is due to being in front of a computer screen for a prolonged period of time in a poor position. My therapist instructed me to do four movements throughout the day and you also might find them helpful to release tension after too much screen time: 1. Sit or stand upright with relaxed shoulders and move the arms in a circular motion in both forward and back directions. (10x each direction) 2. Bring the arms to 90-degree position and move the hands in and out like opening a door, but keeping the elbows to the side of the body. (10x) 3. Move the shoulders: back, down, forward while keeping the shoulders relaxed. Each movement is specific. (10x) 4. Chin Tuck.

For a few centuries the emblem of Christ was a headless T-shaped Tau cross rather than a Latin cross. Elworthy considered this to originate from Pagan Druids who made Tau crosses of oak trees stripped of their branches, with two large limbs fastened at the top to represent a man's arm; this was Thau, or god. John Pearson, Bishop of Chester c. In which there was not only a straight and erected piece of Wood fixed in the Earth, but also a transverse Beam fastened unto that towards the top thereof". There are few extant examples of the cross in 2nd century Christian iconography. It has been argued that Christians were reluctant to use it as it depicts a purposely painful and gruesome method of public execution. The oldest extant depiction of the execution of Jesus in any medium seems to be the second-century or early third-century relief on a jasper gemstone meant for use as an amulet, which is now in the British Museum in London. It portrays a naked bearded man whose arms are tied at the wrists by short strips to the transom of a T-shaped cross. An inscription in Greek on the obverse contains an invocation of the redeeming crucified Christ.

  • Coloring Book for Bishop's Visitation
    A Visit from the Bishop A coloring and activity book updated for the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania What’s a bishop? A bishop can be a woman or a man. Draw and color your picture of a bishop. The bishop is a priest especially ordained to lead the diocese. The bishop’s role is to teach and care for the spiritual needs of the clergy and people of the diocese. Bishops visit each church regularly. They confirm members and ordain priests and deacons. The bishop’s formal clothes Mitre A bishop wears a Crozier mitre (hat), Mitre cope (cloak), Cope Pectoral pectoral cross (necklace), Cross and carries a crozier (shepherd’s crook) Crozier at formal occasions. The cope – a shepherd’s cloak This is a long cape, worn when the Holy Eucharist is celebrated. It is like a shepherd’s cloak that could shelter a lamb. The cope can be quite plain or very ornate—it’s up to the bishop who wears it. Which would you like? Color and decorate them. The mitre – a special hat The mitre is folding, pointed, ceremonial hat with flaps called lappets that drape down the back of the neck. The top is shaped like the flames of fire on the apostles’ heads on Pentecost. We don’t know where the lappets came from. Some people say it shows the water of baptism flowing down. Like the cope, the mitre can be very simple or quite fancy, with silver, gold, and jewels! Make your mitre as plain or colorful as you want! The bishop’s informal clothes The bishop can wear several other layers of clothes.
