The Sanctuary on Easter Sunday April 2020 The T rumpet The Newsletter of All Saints’ Episcopal Church, Jensen Beach, FL The Sanctuary on Easter Sunday “He is not here, but has risen.” Luke 24.5 All Saints’ Jensen Beach The Trumpet April 2020 RECTOR’S RUMINATIONS What a year this is turning out to be for you, for me, for our communities, our church, our country, and the world as a whole. If I had been told that my “second Mom’s” visit to All Saints’ and Jensen Beach in January this year would have been her last trip to see me, I would never have believed it. It was even more painful that she would no longer be with us physically less than two months later. What an emotional and heartbreaking time it has been for my family and me. But God knows best and He gave her to this world for 84 years and then He felt it was time to take her back to Himself. I give God thanks for her life, work, witness, and ministry, and the blessing she was to my life and that of my family. I am thankful for her love, kindness, advice, and influence, over the years, which will remain a part of me throughout my life. However, if losing my “second Mom” wasn’t bad enough, this year, 2020, will go down in history as one we have never seen the likes of; a year when the world came virtually to a standstill, a shutdown. Who would have ever thought that a pandemic, the COVID-19 coronavirus disease, would spread throughout the entire world like this? Hundreds of thousands of people are ill, thousands have died, and a lockdown of the world is taking place in order to contain this virus and to prevent it from spreading. Life, as we all know it, has changed considerably and the term “social distancing” has become a part of our vocabulary. Preaching at the Funeral of my beloved “second Mom.” As Holy Week and Easter Sunday come this month, it is difficult to comprehend that we are unable to celebrate the last week of our Lord’s life, and the principal feast in the Church’s year, in our usual setting. But, as Christians, even though we cannot gather together as a faith community on Sundays or for Holy Week and Easter, we still believe and trust in God. And the God in whom we believe, serve, and worship, is omnipresent, omnipotent and omnis- cient. He is present everywhere, all powerful, and knows and sees everything. So, when you are relaxing in your homes, and sharing in conversations with loved ones, please remember that God is ever present with you, knowing and seeing all that is going on, listening and hearing your prayers, and responding to your needs and petitions. Remember that God is all powerful but He acts in His time and way and not in ours. As the psalmist reminds, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea… the Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge” (Psalm 46:1, 2, 11). It is important to realize that God is very much a part of your lives when you are in your homes and wherever you are. I hope you will use this time as an opportunity to live out what you are meant to do during Lent, which is, to be prayerful, to read and meditate on the Bible, to examine yourselves, and to be remorseful in your lives. Paul reminds us to “Examine yourselves to see whether you are living in the faith. Test yourselves…” (2 Corinthians 13:5). Use this time, my friends, to examine and to test yourselves. Hopefully, by engaging in these disciplines, you will become the person that God intended you to be – an individual who is a model for others to emulate in your home, work place, groups, com- munities, church, this nation and world. Hopefully, you will become a better person, going on toward perfection as the writer of Hebrews tells us (Heb. 6:1).

  • Altar Guild Manual
    Trinity Episcopal Cathedral Omaha, Nebraska Altar Guild Manual Note from the Dean “Ascribe to the Lord the honor due his Name; bring offerings and come into his courts.” --Psalm 96:8 Each week at Trinity Cathedral, we encounter the love and mystery of God through the beauty of our liturgy. The Altar Guild’s careful preparation and loving care for the sacred instruments of our worship are a critically important piece of making that encounter happen. Doing liturgy well requires meticulous and thoughtful preparation, and since we offer this service to God, it deserves our very best. The standard of excellence set by the Trinity Altar Guild provides an important foundation for who we are and what we do as a cathedral. I am so grateful to each and every one of you for your service. As you go about this holy work, I hope you will experience it as a form of living prayer, and that you know it is deeply valued by God. I am so grateful to each and every member of the Altar Guild for helping us all meet the transforming power of Jesus’ love week by week in this place. The Very Reverend Craig Loya Dean and Rector November 2014 Prayers Most gracious Father who has called me your child to serve in the preparation of your Altar, so that it may be a suitable place for the offering of your body and blood; sanctify my life and consecrate my hands so that may worthily handle those sacred gifts which are being offered to you.

  • October 2014 Crossways Names for All Saints’ Sunday November 1St and 2Nd Are the Vigil and Feast Day for All Saints’ — Our Parish’S “Patronal Feast”
    Crossways The Newsletter of All Saints’ Episcopal Church, Johnson City, NY October 2014 Vol. 62 No.8 October 1, 2014 Feast of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, c.530 Dear Friends in Christ, I cannot think of October 1st without thinking of Bishop Remigius and one of my General Theological Seminary(GTS) professors, the Rev. J. Robert Wright. Father Wright loved early church history and he could drone on and on. And one day he was the preacher at the Chapel Eucharist on October 1st, Remigius’ feast day. So most of us gathered there that day sort of just settled back into our choir stalls for the long haul when he stepped into the pulpit. We expected to hear about how Bishop Remigius converted King Clovis on Christmas Day 496 and as a result the Arian heresy was defeated. But instead we heard a short and to the point homily of how one person — Bishop Remigius — could change history and influence lives more than 1500 years later. For you see, we all confess our faith in the words of the Nicene Creed — Father, Son and Holy Spirit, One God in Trinity of Persons. And that would not have been possible without King Clovis’ conversion and his baptism by Bishop Remigius. Father Wright, is now retired from GTS and so he is not one of the players in the turmoil at my seminary. It’s hard to see a beloved seminary torn apart: beloved professors on strike and fired, interrupted classes, total breakdown of communication between faculty, Dean, Board of Trustees, students and alumni.
