(cont’d in pg.2) Telephone: 708-386-5286 Page 2 December 9, 2018 Thoughts From our Pastor Rev. George O. Omwando Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Waiting is hardest when it seems it will never end. Do you know the time spent waiting for the doctor to examine you? Or have you ever been waiting for something that seems like it will never come? But still hoping that it will? Do you know that kind of waiting? Can you picture it? Or do you remember it? Waiting can be excruciating; we know that. But waiting is also dangerous. It always comes with expectations. Expectations build and build. They threaten to grow impossibly large. I wonder if you have dangerously waited. I wonder if you have lived with those curiously developing expectations. And then there comes the moment when the waiting seems like too much waiting. Maybe it causes one to lose hope or to give up or leave before the arrival. Sometimes you forgot even what it was you were waiting for. We wait – mostly when we have no other choice. Prophet Baruch, the writer of today’s first reading, knows what it means to wait. The prophet knows what is in the mind of the waiting of the people. The people were in exile and were longing for home. Nothing more, nothing less. The people of Israel, especially the young people, had heard the stories that there had been a time when their land was prosperous ; that their kings had ruled with justice and righteousness as opposed to the pagan kings that they were under; and that God had lived in the Temple in Jerusalem and had been with them. But now they were away from home and separated. Their beautiful Temple where God was believed to be living was destroyed . I wonder whether you have ever heard or gone through that feeling. It was one thing for the people to be far from home but it was another thing to be under pagan people. It is justifiable, humanly speaking, that the Israelites were getting tired and impatient thus wanting to go back to their promised country. The home of their memory. Like the childhood home your parents no longer occupy. The home is no longer – but the yearning is. Finally Prophet Baruch tells them: “Arise, O Jerusalem, stand upon the height; look toward the east, and see your children gathered from west and east at the word of the Holy One, rejoicing that God has remembered them.” It was the people’s dream that one day they would return to their homeland. This hope was passed on to their children, and to their children’s children, for generations. To come back. To find their way back to the place where they met God. And they waited – for centuries. For salvation. To be set free. They waited as exiles. They waited as an occupied nation. They waited for a Messiah. Generations died waiting. The people were waiting to come to God’s home, to be brought back. They expected to be carried home as on a royal throne. The longer they waited, the higher the expectations. The longer they waited, the more it seemed like God had forgotten them and the covenant that He had entered with them. And it never happened – no glory days revisited. But not because God forgot, but because God had something else in mind. The people were waiting for the road home to God but God was paving a road to the people. We wait. But God comes. Not on a royal throne. Not on a red carpet. Not in the way expected. But in the womb of a virgin. To live with us as one of us. To make a home with us, in us. To come near. To a world waiting, God came, God comes, God is coming. As we wait for the second coming of Jesus spiritually, let us not grow impatient but continue to live in a manner worthy of our call and that of the Gospel message. God bless. — Fr.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • Teachers' Notes – 'Michael Landy: Saints Alive'
    Michael Landy as St Jerome, 2012. © Michael Landy, courtesy of the Thomas Dane Gallery, London. Photo: The National Gallery, London. London. Photo: The National Gallery, courtesy of the Thomas Dane Gallery, 2012. © Michael Landy, Michael Landy as St Jerome, MICHAEL LANDY SAINTS ALIVE An introduction for teachers and students SAINTS ALIVE This exhibition consists of seven kinetic sculptures that are operated by visitors. The sculptures represent figures and stories of popular saints taken from the history of art. They are made from cast representations of details taken from National Gallery paintings, which have been combined with assemblages of recycled machinery, broken children’s toys and other unwanted junk. In the foyer to the exhibition, a selection of related drawings and collages is displayed. The collages are made from fragments cut out from reproductions of paintings in the collection. THE ROOTSTEIN HOPKINS ASSOCIATE ARTIST SCHEME The National Gallery is a historical collection that ends with work by Cézanne and the Post-Impressionists. At the time of the Gallery’s foundation in 1824, one of the stated aims was that it should provide a resource from which contemporary artists could learn and gain inspiration. Taking its cue from this idea, the Associate Artist Scheme began in 1989 with the appointment of Paula Rego. The essential requirement for the Associate Artist is that he or she makes new work by engaging with, and responding to the collection or some aspect of the collection. The artist is given a studio in the Gallery for a period of around two years. Michael Landy is the ninth artist to be invited to undertake this project.

  • Retable of Saint Lucy Master of Riglos 15 Maio – 08 September 2019
    RETABLE OF SAINT LUCY MASTER OF RIGLOS 15 MAIO – 08 SEPTEMBER 2019 IN THE BOOK Embaixadas de Portugal, pub- lished in 2006 (Lisbon: Polígono Editores), men- tion was made of the existence at the Portuguese Embassy in Spain (at the former palace of the Dukes of Hijar in Paseo de la Castellana, Madrid) of four fifteenth-century paintings described as being Catalan and attributed, in the book, to Luis Borrassá, the painter from Girona who had set- tled in Barcelona in around 1383, the city where he was to die in 1425. The paintings, depicting scenes from the life of St. Lucy, cannot, however, be attributed to that remarkable Catalan painter, as they date from a slightly later period (the mid- fifteenth century) and clearly belong instead to the Aragonese school. They were talked about, for the first time, in Volume VIII of the monumental A History of Spanish Painting by Chandler Rathfon Post, published in 1941 by Harvard University Press. Post describes two altarpieces that he had seen in Paris, in the collection of the famous antique dealers the Bacri brothers – one dedicated to Master of Riglos St. Blaise and the other to St. Lucy. The two altar- Aragon, middle of the 15th century pieces were similar in their structure: the main St. Lucy gives his goods to the poor c. 1450 figure of the saint was placed in a large central Tempera and gold on pine panel panel, with six narrative panels at the sides, a representation of Christ at the top, and a predella displaying five scenes from the Passion of Christ.

  • Feast of Saint Lucy Feast of Saint Lucy: December 13
    Seasoning the Seasons™ The Institute for Christian Formation, Inc. logo©2004 by R Fulwiler Text©2006 by Sandra A. Chakeres. All rights reserved. Feast of Saint Lucy Feast of Saint Lucy: December 13 Early in the morning on December 13th, especially in Scandinavian countries such as Sweden, it is common for the oldest daughter in the family to wear a white gown and red sash, with a wreath of candles on her head, and serve coffee and Lussekatter (saffron buns) to the household. It’s the Feast Day of Santa Lucia, or Saint Lucy! Saint Lucy lived in Syracuse on the island of Sicily, which is off the southern coast of Italy. Around the year 304, she was mar- tyred (put to death for witnessing to her faith) at a very young age during a time when the Emperor Diocletian was persecuting Chris- tians. Still today, we hear Saint Lucy’s name mentioned in Eucharistic Prayer I. But few details are known of her actual life. One legend says that during the persecution, Lucy’s eyes were plucked out. That is why you will sometimes see statues or holy cards with Saint Lucy holding out a platter with eyeballs on it! (See this depicted on the next page.) The Gospel for the Feast of Saint Lucy is Matthew 25:1-13 (The Parable of the Ten Virgins). In this parable, the five wise virgins went out to meet the Lord with their lamps lighted. Perhaps the five candles in the wreath on Lucy’s head, as she is de- picted on this page, represent those five faithful virgins! Saint Lucy is the Patron Saint of those who are blind or suffer from eye diseases, as well as the island of Sicily.

The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student learning. The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis. Page 1 © 2015 Advance Education, Inc.
