Connected by Prayer

I have a few joys that have come from discovering that I am classified as elderly!!!! I moved from my beloved Upperville Virginia to Bend Oregon a few years ago. I still receive the newsletter which helps me feel a part of Trinity. 

Soon after we were all Quarantined, I read that the healing ministry was having their usual 2:30 Monday meeting via zoom. I was a former prayer warrior with them in the past. I jumped right back into that special place of healing. 

It is a joy to be part of our community again. I thank the Holy Spirit for giving me this avenue to return. 

I have also enjoyed being back in church with Martin and Christian and all of you. I send you much love from Bend Oregon.

The Assembly of Acolytes

The focus of all attention recently has been on the lock-down – the quarantine – the extraordinary stress caused by the COVID19 outbreak. But, please know that our Acolytes have been continuing their connection to Trinity in many ways.

Thank you to all the Acolytes who continue to visit the Outdoor Chapel at various times and various days of the week. There, on the grounds of Trinity, they recite the Lord’s Prayer – and take pictures of their visit. I search my emails all week to find those photos.

The congregation may know the Acolytes as they see them in their white robes every Sunday. But, I am witness to know them away from their duties on Sunday as well. This Assembly of Acolytes represents Trinity’s youth doing the will of God, not from habit, but from learning the way of the Lord in our Children’s Chapel every Sunday.

Praise be to God.
And keep those pictures coming.

The Corona Virus and Me

The image of Andrea Bocelli on Easter Sunday singing in the empty, magnificent Duomo in Milan captures my experience of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite the Judeo-Christian myth of man’s dominance over nature, when face-to-face with a virus causing thousands of deaths within weeks across countries, I experience how small and fragile we are, like Bocelli in the immense cathedral.

I am one of the fortunate ones. I can carry on my work remotely from home. After initial cancellations and adjustments, the disruption to my life, compared with others, has been minimal. I have had the opportunity to reflect and the privilege of realigning priorities.

The image of Bocelli, one lone voice, singing in the empty cathedral has solidified in me the desire to be about what really matters, a call I believe we all have to answer to that which lies deepest within. I have a renewed resolve to focus my attention and energy on that “for which I was born.” This focus helps me laugh more and fear death less.

Reflections on Self-Isolation - Love in Action

In my last couple of Weekly E-Genesis, I asked folks to submit brief snippets of how they are coping during this Pandemic and glimpses of their lives during self-isolation. My hope is that by sharing uplifting messages and thanksgivings that we will feel hope and encouragement to forge on until we are back together again.

Shortly after the self-isolation order came out my husband Peter and I took a trip to Walmart. We ran into our daughter-in-law Amanda. After a short visit we headed home. Before we got back to the house, all 4 of our children texted us and told us we were “Grounded,...Indefinitely”. How the times have changed!

Their love for us and their determination to keep us as safe as possible is truly a blessing and not something we will forget. They keep us connected via weekly DUO sessions where we can see and talk with them and our grandchildren through a safe modem. It’s not quite the same as holding them in your arms but for now it will have to do. I hope you enjoy the articles and that they will lift your spirits. I pray that this time has led to special moments in your lives that you will never forget. Change is inevitable, we will never be back to the “normal” we were used to and that isn’t so bad.

To quote an anonymous source, “If you do things the way you always did, the future will look a lot like the past”.

What I Believe

A few weeks ago I heard someone talk about “God’s plan” for us. For complicated reasons, I always bridle a little when I hear that term. What I hear in the idea of “God’s Plan” is the understanding that there is some kind of predestined path on which I am supposed to walk, if I can figure it out. I believe something rather different from that.

God’s plan is, I think, a matter for ongoing discernment. I do believe that the holy and life-giving I AM (ego eimi, Yahweh, G*d, Being)** that willed and still wills all things into existence continues to be engaged in our every action. I believe that G*d’s interaction with us is dialogical and co-operative, rather than pre-determined. In my understanding, that means that any plan is emergent, worked out as time and circumstances require. (“But,” you might ask, “isn’t God in charge of those circumstances?” And I say that in Jesus G*d gave up control in favor of friendly persuasion.) Because of the divine spark ignited in us, we are co-creators with G*d of that plan rather that predestined to fall in or out of line with a pre-existent and unknowable plan.

I believe that every fiber of our being, and of all being, has the inbuilt will to exist in the image and likeness of Love. And Love guides, giving up control. That is why Being became flesh in Jesus – to walk along side us as a companion rather than above, controlling us. That conviction is grounded in my own experience of being free to make variously good and bad decisions. No matter how hard I try to discern G*d’s will, I am still responsible.

We are unavoidably limited in our ability to talk about G*d. We are stuck with metaphors. For those of us who have children, parenthood is a natural image to use for our understanding of love, obedience, rebellion, freedom, restraint, relationship and alienation – all subheadings under the general title of “God and Theology.” Whether we experienced – or are – controlling or permissive parents, that might shape our understanding of the very nature of G*d.

I loved watching my children grow, each taking their own very different rates and directions. I have loved watching them grow into independence even more. Yet more than once I have had people tell me of having had an abusive father; to speak of God as “Father” is a troubling and negative image. So Jesus uses lots of different metaphors to enable a more profound understanding. Although he addressed G*d as Abba (Father, but better translated as Daddy) he also images G*d as a brood hen, a shepherd, an unjust judge (!), a bridegroom, a woman who has lost a coin, and vineyard owner. These images are an open acknowledgement of our inability to nail down how G*d is. (That refusal to be nailed down is surely one understanding of the ultimate meaning of Good Friday.)

So does G*d intervene directly in human affairs? I have to admit the evidence is inconclusive, but I behave and pray as if yes, G*d is in charge. Do my prayers influence G*d? It seems presumptuous to say they do, but my own children’s requests influence me, so… And besides, I do know that prayer influences me. It opens my horizons, gives voice to dreams, acknowledges my own lack of control, expresses private grief and joy and gratitude. And I do believe that all of those things are part of any plan that G*d, ego eimi, Jahweh, I AM, Being has for me.

** The greatest single difficulty in speaking of God is the limitation of language that seems to require that we speak of G*d as a being. G*d is not a being but is rather, using the terminology of Paul Tillich, the Ground of all Being. Holiness is the core reality of all that exists. As Christians we affirm that that holiness is most concretely expressed in the person of Jesus.

Past Updates - Previous Updates Regarding COVID-19

THE CATHEDRAL WILL BE BROADCASTING A “VIRTUAL” SUNDAY LITURGY AT 11:15 AM WHICH MAY BE FOUND ON LINE AT CATHEDRAL.ORG OR ON THE CATHEDRAL FACEBOOK PAGE

To the People of Trinity Church, Upperville,

Bishop Goff, following consultation with neighboring dioceses and with medical advice concerning the COVID-19 virus, has directed that all corporate worship in the Diocese of Virginia be cancelled for the next two Sundays, March 15 & 22, and other midweek activities, until March 25. We recognize that this puts some important meetings and decisions on hold, and that it will be an irritation to some. Sr. Warden Johanna and I have been in conversation and have determined that out of concern for the most vulnerable members of our community - people over 60 and any with medical issues - we will fully comply with Bishop Goff's directive. No classes or choir rehearsals, no LEM visitations, no committee meetings. Until we get advice, we will even close the Food Pantry. We will permit AA/CoDA meetings, with the provision that no food be served; for the moment we will permit those organizations to make their own other decisions, expecting that utmost care will be exercised in using sanitizer and maintaining maximum practical distance between participants.

Parish Staff will be allowed to come to the offices in Peard House for essential work, mostly communications about the current situation. 

For those who wish to take advantage of online worship services, there are three parishes in the diocese that stream their services. I do not know how the current situation will affect their offerings. The parishes are St. James, Richmond; St. Matthew's, Sterling; and St. James the less, Ashland. Google their websites.

Thank you for your understanding and co-operation with this policy. We will do our best to maintain our own lines of communication and keep all of you informed. I will continue writing the sermon that I have started and will trust that I can get it to you via some medium.

Below is a letter from the Sr. Warden that covers a lot of the same territory that I have addressed in this letter. Also below is the record of a diocesan policy discussion, edited for relevance to our situation.

Blessing and peace,

+Martin

From the Senior Warden

Dear Trinity Parishioners,

This afternoon Bishop Goff suspended all worship activities in the Diocese of Virginia for two weeks. This follows the World Health Organization declaring Coronavirus a global pandemic. The last time the Diocese of Virginia suspended church services was in 1918 during the Great Flu epidemic. This gives an indication of the seriousness of the current outbreak of Coronavirus.

After consulting with Bishop Townsend, our Interim Rector, I have decided to extend this suspension to all Trinity church activities. I know this will be a disappointment to many and an inconvenience to some, but in the interest of the health of our church community I prefer to err on the side of caution.

To the best of our knowledge no Trinity members have contracted the virus, but other parishes in the region have not been so blessed. I think it’s only realistic to assume that some of our members will come down with it. We don’t want to exaggerate the risk nor do we want to be complacent.

We still remain a community that cares for one another. Unlike in 1918 when telephone service was just making its way into rural Virginia and there was no internet, the Trinity community has ways to stay in touch with one another, to lend support to one another. I encourage all parishioners to communicate with each other, especially with those who may not have family nearby. We are our brother’s keeper still.  

Johanna Vandoren-Jackson
Sr. Warden

Diocesan Zoom Meeting on COVID-19

(March 11th, 2020 at 2PM)
Notes:

• Worship is canceled in the diocese for the next 2 Sundays/2 weeks. All worship. Not just Eucharist. The 2 weeks end on March the 25th (2 weeks from today). Diocesan leadership will reassess at the end of this period.

• The mathematical models are showing exponential growth of virus. We cannot stop this pandemic but by practicing social distancing we can slow the spread.

• The Diocese of Washington has made a similar decision with respect to worship over the next 2 weeks. 

• Funerals - would recommend trying to delay large celebrations of life. Grave side services in small groups are probably ok. 

• You can stream an unattended service. 

• As of Wednesday, there is no guidance about food pantries or meetings of AA/CoDA. We’ll have to wait for more information/research on that. 

• Rectors can still permit staff to work on church property for critical purposes unless of course a person tests positive for COVID-19.

• We would encourage people to continue their pledges even if they are not at in person worship. Or to double their plate offering from when they were not there. If online worship takes the place of in person worship, clergy staff are still working to make the service happen.

• Sunday School should not take place as well. 

• We encourage small mid-week services to be Morning Prayer if you still have them. (At Trinity for at least this week, we will not hold such services.)

• Clergy are instructed not to make at home visits without calling ahead.

+Martin 

NOTE: There will not be an E-Genesis this week

Music Notes March

Notes from Christian We begin this season of Lent with a focus on the Wesleys, of Methodist fame. John and Charles were among the 18 children of an Anglican cleric and became Anglican priests as well. While both brothers were actively involved in the Anglican movement know as Methodism that ultimately led to the United Methodist Church, it is John who is credited as its founder. Charles’ legacy became the over 650 hymn texts he penned, many of which have become among the most beloved and well-known hymns ever written. Charles’ son Samuel Wesley was something of a musical child prodigy studying the violin and organ and was often called the English Mozart. He went on to be an extremely gifted organist and composer. Samuel’s son, Samuel Sebastien Wesley, was given Bach’s middle name by his father and became a cathedral organist and perhaps the most successful composer of the family. It is his anthem “Wash Me Throughly” that the choir will sing on the first Sunday of Lent, March 1.

The Feast Day of John and Charles Wesley is the first Tuesday of Lent, March 3, and we will be discussing their hymn texts at the Lenten Series that same evening. In preparation for that event I give you John Wesley’s directions for singing which have appeared at the beginning of every Methodist hymnal yet published and despite their somewhat dated language, are as relevant now as they were when written in 1761.

I. Learn these Tunes before you learn any others; afterwards learn as many as you please.

II. Sing them exactly as they are printed here, without altering or mending them at all; and if you have learned to sing them otherwise, unlearn it as soon as you can.

III. Sing All. See that you join with the congregation as frequently as you can. Let not a slight degree of weakness or weariness hinder you. If it is a cross to you, take it up and you will find a blessing.

IV. Sing lustily and with good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength. Be no more afraid of your voice now, nor more ashamed of its being heard, than when you sung the songs of Satan.

V. Sing modestly. Do not bawl, so as to be heard above or distinct from the rest of the congregation, that you may not destroy the harmony; but strive to unite your voices together, so as to make one clear melodious sound.

VI. Sing in Time: whatever time is sung, be sure to keep with it. Do not run before nor stay behind it; but attend closely to the leading voices, and move therewith as exactly as you can. And take care you sing not too slow. This drawling way naturally steals on all who are lazy; and it is high time to drive it out from among us, and sing all our tunes just as quick as we did at first.

VII. Above all sing spiritually. Have an eye to God in every word you sing. Aim at pleasing him more than yourself, or any other creature. In order to this attend strictly to the sense of what you sing, and see that your Heart is not carried away with the sound, but offered to God continually; so shall your singing be such as the Lord will approve of here, and reward when he cometh in the clouds of heaven.

Piedmont Child Care Center (PCCC) Updates

The Piedmont Child Care Center is one of Trinity’s oldest and most successful Community programs. It has been on it’s own since moving to the new facility in 2000. The Center is open five days a week and the building is currently filled with about 50 children, six weeks to about seven years of age. There are five different classrooms and three play-grounds; all age appropriate. The Infant Room leads into the Green Room with it’s 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 year olds. Then the Yellow Room goes from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2. As they move around the Center the next stop is the Red Room 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 and finally the Blue Room for the Pre K group. We also have a Purple Room that takes care of the kids that come off the school buses and are there during the summer.

The children are served breakfast, a morning snack, lunch and an afternoon snack. Every child, in every classroom, takes a nap in the afternoon . The kids are out on the playground two times a day; morning and afternoon. It really is a wonderful place and the classrooms are staffed with terrific, caring, nurturing teachers. Do stop over and have a look, it really is a magical place where amazing things happen every day. Join us for a spaghetti supper fundraiser here at Trinity, Friday April 3rd from 4:30pm - 6:30pm.

Lenten Soup Suppers

Lenten Series—Songs of the Saints

Adult Forum - Lenten Series

ADULT FORUM INTO THE NIGHT: PORTRAITS OF LIFE AND DEATH
Sundays at 9:20 am in Cox Hall (March 1, 8, 15, 22, 29)

Into the Night: Portraits of Life and Death, is a two-hour documentary, featuring fascinating, unexpected voices from various walks of life: old and young, believers and nonbelievers, the dying and the healthy, well known and obscure.

Into the Night creates a safe smart place that allows people to talk about a subject of universal importance. It is the conversation we yearn to have, but too often turn away from in fear and distress. Yet our culture is at a critical turning point, driven in part by the baby boomer generation that is insisting on a new openness and on this deeper conversation. Our film speaks to this emerging movement with a novel approach meant to provoke searching conversations, both private and public.

Ultimately the film is meant to raise questions, not to provide answers. How could it? Death is “that undiscovered country,” as Hamlet so famously described it, “from whose bourn/No traveler returns.”

Confirmation Classes

Last Sunday, February 23rd Christian Myers and I met with this year’s confirmands and their parents. We are off to a great start with a class of nine candidates. Amazingly, they are all boys! I anticipate mischief.

The class will meet for five consecutive Tuesdays, April 21st through May 19th, at 7:00pm in Peard House. We will also have a Saturday retreat, perhaps involving canoes, on May 2nd, 9:00am – 3:00pm.

We are looking at a range of resources to help shape the class and discussions. We will focus first on the ministry of Jesus as giving meaning and direction for our own lives. The secondary focus is on Anglican/Episcopal identity and spirituality.

The exact date of the Confirmation service has not yet been determined but it will probably be in late May or June. Please keep the candidates – Briggs, Colton, Branch, Milo, Clay, Wagner, Theo, Chester and Jack in your prayers.

- The Rt. Rev Martin G. Townsend

Quiet Day at Trinity

YOU ARE THE BELOVED

*** Note Date Change ***

Due to busy schedules, we have moved the Lenten Quiet Day from March 14th to Saturday March 28th from 9 am - 1 pm. Ginny Fluet will teach us a simple method of Christian Meditation. We will then meditate quietly on the teachings of Henri Nouwen’s discipline of the heart. This is an excellent spiritual practice for Lent - helping us to open our hearts to God’s love and His presence in our lives.

We will meet in the sanctuary for the teaching, reflection and meditations, interspersed with quiet breaks, and ending with the Eucharist. Lunch will be provided. If you plan to come, please call the church office by March 21st (540-592-3343) so we’ll know how many to feed. If you decide to come at the last minute, please feel free to come ahead - there will be plenty of spiritual and physical nourishment available.

If you have questions, feel free to call Ginny Fluet at 540-869-0858.

Shrove Tuesday at Trinity

Music Notes - From Christian

Sometimes in life you just have to take a break. And, so it is, that I now return to writing my monthly column for the church newsletter. I must admit that following my literary lapse, I may be more rusty than refreshed. However, I am also keenly aware of a pervasive sense of rejuvenation in the church right now, as if things are both excitingly new yet warmly familiar at the same time. I’m sure you feel it too. It took me awhile to put my finger on it and then a bit longer to let myself completely embrace it, but now, in this season after the Epiphany, I feel I can finally fully welcome it. Yes, that’s right, The Revised Common Lectionary, that determines all of the bible readings each Sunday from now until forever, has come to the end of its three year cycle and, in this season after the Epiphany, we are now basking in the light of Year A which began with Advent.

Epiphany is easily my favorite of the liturgical seasons. Who doesn’t love the story of the Three Wise Men who were twelve days late for the birth of Jesus, bringing him precious gifts from afar? And I have always been particularly fond of the notion that when Herod tried to trick them into coming back to tell him where they found the newborn Messiah, the Magi outsmarted the evil king and snuck home by a different road. That’s what you get when you try to trick a wise man.

It is also important, or at least mildly interesting, to remember that this season is made up of days after, not of, Epiphany. Epiphany is a day, described above, always January 6, twelve days after Christmas, immediately following the drummers drumming. The rest of the season are the days after The Epiphany and within the liturgical year are technically Common Time. After all the demands of the Christmas season, I can sure appreciate some good common time.

During this period of Common Time, The Gospel lessons follow the ministry and teachings of Jesus. In January we began with Jesus’ baptism and followed with two accounts of the calling of the disciples. In Years B and C we then hear stories of healings and other various miracles, but Year A focuses on readings from Matthew and that means the Sermon on the Mount, which our Gospel readings will follow sequentially for the first three weeks of this month. February 2nd is the introduction to Jesus’ most elevated sermon known as the Beatitudes. On February 9th we hear words of salt and light and the importance of keeping the Law. February 16th is the beginning of Matthew’s Antitheses where Jesus’ repeated refrain is “You have heard it said, but…”. Sadly, whoever decided that Easter would come on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal equinox (no kidding) and thus be a movable date, has cheated us out of the last two of these antitheses because Easter isn’t late enough this year to have enough Sundays after the Epiphany. If only we could squeeze in another week, we would hear Jesus’ teachings to turn the other cheek and love our enemies. I highly recommend doing both those things anyway. The last Sunday of February is also the last of the Sundays after the Epiphany when, in all three years, we read the story of Jesus’ Transfiguration on the mountaintop and is our last chance to sing (and say) Alleluias before the Holy season of Lent.

Throughout this season, as well as the entire liturgical year, all of our music is carefully chosen to enhance the experience of the lectionary readings each Sunday. As part of my pursuit of possibly purposeful prose, I will also contribute a few brief notes about the music each week. I hope you will look for the connections between the music and the lessons and that it might add yet another dynamic to your experience of the Word of God.

S.O.M.E. Updates for February 2020

One of our visitors, Angela, was recently injured in an automobile accident. She walks nimbly with a cane, carefully pulling a giant suitcase with all her belongings.

The very first thing one notices about Angela is her smile. It is her identity. She smiles from ear to ear. Angela is seemingly unaware that the accident caused a head injury from which she may never fully recover. But she is unstoppable. Angela is a hugger.

This vibrant guest at the Trinity Church SOME January outreach in Washington, DC made sure to thank us profusely time and time again. She loved our generous meal of fish and rice casserole and all the trimmings. She loved that we came from Upperville, VA. She loved the staff at SOME. Angela felt at home and said she found hope inside the warm dining room. She made a point of telling us that she was also “giving back” to SOME in thanks for all the organization has done for her getting her back on the right path. Angela was a beautiful human to witness.

Many of our diners have daily and long-term challenges. Among those we have served annually are veterans with PTSD, amputees, stroke victims, and others with disability and in pain. SOME thankfully provides a wide range of services for all. Group housing, counseling, and other rehabilitative programs are readily available. Everyone is treated with dignity, respect and civility.

It was a day of service for our volunteers in recognition of the federal holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We are thankful for the efforts of our team of professionals: Jim Gemmer; Bob Appenzeller; Len Shapiro; Ann MacLeod; Gina Hammond; Carol Miller; Maggie New and Robin Keys. This group of long-time SOME supporters fed just under 300 people.

Our fast working and prompt kitchen crew included: Stephanie Knapp, Ellen Hall, Ann MacLeod, David Augenblick, Holly Bimba, Richard Taylor and Robin Keys. Eight delicious rice casseroles were produced. Ellen Hall deserves a special thank you for sending along another giant box of take-out snacks. We were told by SOME administration that this offering is greatly appreciated and receives much positive feedback.

These parishioners answered the call resonated by Dr. King, “What are you doing for others?” It is a question Angela asked herself too.

We return to the Cox Hall kitchen for rice casserole preparation on Thursday, March 19 and travel to DC the next day, March 20, 2020. Please consider joining us. It is an opportunity to look into the eyes of special people like Angela and feel God’s grace.

Organ Recital

Piedmont Child Care Center (PCCC)

On October 8, 1984, Trinity Church opened The Piedmont Child Care Center in the basement of Cox Hall. It was much needed in the community and now 36 years later it is still going strong; currently located across the street from the church, at its present location and has been there for 20 years.

The Rev. Richard Peard hired the director, Alice Duggan and she still is there. The center is a school setting, open from 7:00am to 6:00pm Monday through Friday. Providing two meals and two snacks a day, homemade in the Center’s kitchen. The center welcomes babies as young as 6-weeks old and school agers up to 12.

Both Loudoun County and Fauquier County schools pick-up and drop off at Piedmont. It is one of Trinity’s greatest Community Projects and has been such a positive influence on countless numbers of children and their working parents. If you haven’t visited you have missed something quite special. So do stop by this enchanting place where every “moment is a teachable moment. “

Any questions or if you need further information call Alice or Diana at 540 592-3908 or email pccc@piedmontchildcare.org.
