Take some longer periods of time in your prayer chair and allow the Spirit to fill you and direct you. Listen to that still, small voice. On Palm Sunday we celebrate with a sense of community as Jesus enters Jerusalem. We honor his arrival, knowing that the week ahead is going to illuminate exactly how much God loves us. During Holy Week we gather on Thursday to remember the Passion of Jesus through the Last Supper where Jesus shares with his friends the importance of servant hood. We recall his arrest, torture, and execution that resulted from the sin of humanity. We wait in the silent stillness of Holy Saturday; going through our day, knowing that killing God’s son was not the end of the story. Death will not have the final word. And then on Sunday, as the sun rises, we gather once again in community rejoicing in resurrection as the children share that God’s not dead! The celebration continues at our 10:00 a.m. worship service as we sing, pray, and give thanks to God who loves us so much. Alleluia! As we move through these final weeks of Lent, I pray that you are experiencing God in new ways. I pray that your heart and mind are being transformed to be an ambassador for Jesus Christ, living out his love and light in the world.

The accolade by Stu Colby and Don Daubney during worship, the dedication of the bench in my honor, and the sumptuous birthday luncheon prepared by my dearest friends, Gloria Laemmel, Barbara Whipple and the Hospitality Committee. I am so humbled by all the tributes you have accorded me since you learned, last fall, of my impending departure. Thank you, ACOHUMMFA (aka UMM), for the Susanna Wesley Award. Reflecting on all that Susanna had achieved, not just in the Methodist community, but throughout Christendom, I feel I am not worthy to touch the hem of her long apron and makeshift prayer tent. But through God’s relentless urging and gentle persuasions every wayward straying was turned into an opportunity to find the straight path. And I have discovered that God’s persuasions are not above bribing. That Sunday in 1979, I returned to Asbury after a long absence, and the first thing I saw were the English handbells lined up on a long table in the back of the sanctuary. Oh, those shining bells, each so perfectly pitched! They were like angels bidding me to come. How could I resist? Later I asked the director, Verlie Anne Skillman, if she would allow me to observe the next time they rehearsed. She said yes and when I went she put three bells in my hands. I was totally hooked. Working with the bells led me into other areas of worship and taught me the meaning of being a part of God’s fold. I never left Asbury again. That is until now. But this is a different kind of leaving. Part of my heart will always be here and all of you will always be in my heart. My departure date is still not certain. For however many Sundays we still have, let us treasure the bond we share with each other. Lena Free Performance of Anything Goes!

Asbury United Methodist Church 17 Old Post Road South Croton-on-Hudson, New York 10520 THE HISTORY CORNER One of the flowering plants that will be part of our Easter altar flower garden is the Easter lily. The flowering plant most often associated with Easter. The Easter lily, Lilium longiflorum, is in the category that bulb catalogues often call Asian lilies. It is native to a few islands south of Japan and was brought to England in 1777 and later to Bermuda. Bermuda became the principle commercial producer until a virus wiped them out and Japan again became the only source. Following World War I an American soldier, Louis Houghton, brought bulbs from Japan to Oregon where the growing conditions matched those in Japan. Soon Oregon and northern California became known as the Easter lily capitol of the world. After Pearl Harbor the Japanese shipments ended and the Oregon and California market grew. The area now produces the majority of the world’s Easter lilies. The Easter lily is difficult to grow and has to be cultivated in fields for at least three years. When the bulbs are ready to be shipped they are under strict temperature restrictions so they bloom in time for Easter. Since Easter does not fall on the same date every year this aim to correct bloom time takes precise planning. Easter lilies may be planted in your garden. Plant them in a sunny spot in well-drained soil at the same depth as they were in their container. The theme of one of Asbury’s stained glass windows is the Easter lily. It is dedicated to Rev. DeW. C. Van Caasbeck, who was our pastor from 1881 to 1884, when the main place of worship was moved fBethel Chapel to Asbury. The lily is a symbol of joy, hope and life, and its trumpet flower heralds the risen Christ.

  • Historical Survey of Easter Lily Name in Association with Lilium Longiflorum
    ® Floriculture and Ornamental Biotechnology ©2012 Global Science Books Historical Survey of Easter Lily Name in Association with Lilium longiflorum Eisuke Matsuo Professor Emeritus of Kyushu University, 1198-68, Tsuko, Ogori-shi 838-0102, Japan Correspondence : [email protected] ABSTRACT Based on the English dictionaries from around 1900, the author traces back how Lilium longiflorum came to be referred to as the Easter lily. The term “Easter lily” was given to any lily-like flowering species that bloomed around the Easter day, being called Easter flowers. Among them, L. candidum became the most famous one known as “Easter lily”. The evidence suggests that when more easily forcible bulb production began in the Bermuda Islands, the superiority of L. longiflorum over L. candidum in forcing ability and price, might have led to an explosive promotion of the usage of L. longiflorum as the Easter flower instead of L. candidum. Thus, the name "Easter lily" came to be transferred from L. candidum to L. longiflorum. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: Easter decoration, Easter flower, Lilium candidum, Madonna lily CONTENTS INTRODUCTION.......................................................................................................................................................................................... 9 EASTER FLOWER AND EASTER LILY...................................................................................................................................................

To verify the possibility of the usefulness of these traits in lily breeding, nine combinations of interspecific crosses (L. formosanum as the seed parent; L. auratum, L. speciosum, L. regale, ‘Lollypop’, ‘Pink Tiger’, ‘Zaza’, ‘Le Reve’, ‘Marco Polo’, and ‘African Queen’ as pollen parents) were carried out with cut-style pollination and ovary-slice culture. Germination was observed in all nine interspecific crosses and 53 hybrids were obtained. Thirty (56.6%) of the 53 hybrids and two self-pollinated progenies of L. formosanum reached anthesis within 24 months from germination through ovary- slice culture. Multiple shooting of flower stalks was recognized in 11 (36.7%) of those flowered hybrids. Four hybrids, the pollen parents of which were Asiatic hybrid lilies with colored flowers, expressed ‘precocious flowering’ ability, multiple shooting of flower stalks, and entirely colored flowers simultaneously. These results suggest the possibility of breeding new types of cultivars with triple favorable traits from the cross between L.

  • Taxonomy and Phylogeny of the Genus Lilium
    ® Floriculture and Ornamental Biotechnology ©2012 Global Science Books Taxonomy and Phylogeny of the Genus Lilium Veli-Pekka Pelkonen* • Anna-Maria Pirttilä Department of Biology/Botany, University of Oulu, P.O. Box 3000, FIN-90014 Oulu, Finland Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT Lilies have a long history as ornamental plants. Today, there is an ever increasing variety of new lily cultivars due to the significant progress in the propagation and development of new methods in breeding. The domesticated native species have retained their place along with new hybrids in commercialized horticultural industry, and they have sustained their invaluable potential for the breeding of new cultivars for garden use as well as for greenhouse culture. Systematics has always played an important role in plant breeding, giving guidelines for hybridization, although biotechnology has introduced new solutions for many problems that were evolutionary obstacles especially in inter-specific crossings before. The genus Lilium has been a subject of variable suggestions for classification systems, and the process still continues. The currently accepted concept for the phylogenetic and taxonomic system for all species is based on geographical, structural and genetic information. In our review, we give an insight into the latest progress in revealing the taxonomical relationships within the genus. According to the existing GenBank sequence data, we have constructed a phylogenetic tree consisting of the main species and sections of the genus. Provided with species photos, the tree gives a brief overview of phylogeny- and morphology- based classifications, which are not always congruent. In the tree mainly all species grouped into sections defined within the genus, but L.
