The Rector’s Message
INVITATION TO LENT
We are on the threshold of probably the most significant period in our church calendar as Lent begins this week on
Ash Wednesday. The metaphor “journey” characterizes Lent as we journey with Jesus towards and through the cross to
resurrected, renewed life. Lent is cross-shaped as it challenges us to consider the intersection of earthly life and divine life.
Lent is a time to contemplate how we can live in an integrated way that honors both and leads us into following a more
wholesome and abundant Way.
Trinity and SMWC offer several opportunities for you to journey through Lent this year in an intentional and
reflective way.
“The Last Week” is a four-part Lenten study series to be held at each church. This series will offer you a time to
gather with others and consider the last week of Jesus’ life as you travel with him into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, through
the major events which follow during the week, then stand at the foot of a cross, search an empty tomb and finally
experience the amazement of Easter morning. Schedule information on this series at each church is included in this
newsletter.
“Crossings” is a weekly “at home” opportunity for Bible study and reflection on the Gospel readings highlighted
during Lent and Easter. Each week you will be provided the passage, some background information, and reflection
questions to consider during the week. The theme “Crossings” arises out of the idea that Lent is cross-shaped, but so is all
of life as we journey through it. At the intersection of the two arms of the cross, at the heart of a cross-shaped life, is the
call to live a life in which the human and divine elements come together and offer the potential for us to cross over into
renewed, revitalized life. Look for the weekly “Crossings” to be available on your e-mail, in hard copy available at each
church on Sunday and during the week, or mailed to you if that is more convenient. We will start immediately, with the
first “Crossing” to pose study and reflection for the first week of Lent.
A service of Healing & Renewal will be offered on the Thursday before Easter Sunday for parishioners of Trinity
and SMWC. It will be held in SMWC’s sanctuary at 11:45 a.m. followed by our sharing a light lunch together in the parish
hall. Build-in time either before the service or after lunch to reflect at the Labyrinth.
Lent offers us a time for personal journey towards new life, but also a time for us as a gathered people to travel
together towards renewal and revitalization. However you decide to integrate a Lenten journey in your life during this time,
please consider this invitation to participate in “The Last Week” and/or “Crossings” – opportunities for you to pause
individually or corporately during Lent for intentional study and reflection on the Way forward.
Grace and Peace . . . .Torrence

Intern’s Insight: Bernie
El Salvador – Walking With Jesus
My recent trip to El Salvador was truly a religious experience. I asked for Jesus’ presence along the way and
believe that my prayers were answered. I spoke about this in my sermon on February 23rd.
The main reason for the trip was to observe the National Election. There were 5,000 international observers,
1,000 of whom were Anglicans from around the world. The election went quite well as to process but none of the five
parties running received 50% of the vote or more. A runoff between the two top parties (ARENA and FMLN) will
occur on March 5th.
I went to El Salvador as the Chaplain for a delegation from the Diocese of Chicago. We were the guests of The
Most Reverend Martin Barahona (pronounce “Marteen Barona”), who is the Bishop of El Salvador and the former
Primate of Central America. Bishop Barahona is pictured (above) with me and the delegation from Chicago. Bishop
Barahona asked us to attend a peace rally on Thursday, January 30th, which we did. It was a scene right out of the
sixties with guitars, speeches and silver-haired hippie types!
He also asked us to visit several churches and schools the diocese there is trying to maintain. We observed some
of the most abject poverty I have ever witnessed. Parents feed their young children coffee to assuage the hunger and a
small dish of beans and rice per day is an extravagance. Still, I was moved by the strong faith of the people and the
witness that the Anglican Episcopal Church (as it is called there) provides to these humble souls and their visitors.
We also visited the site of the rape and murder of four American nuns in the late 1970s which was also the site of
the murder of six Jesuit priests in 1989. Gruesome. We then went to the small apartment of Archbishop Oscar
Romero. He was assassinated in 1980 while saying Mass at the chapel of the hospital he started. As it happened, a
magazine writer was recording the Mass as part of a larger article he was writing about Bishop Romero. We heard
Bishop Romero’s final homily in which he said, “If they want to come and kill me, they can.” Then the shot rang out
on the recorder. Eerie.
This trip exercised, strained and, eventually strengthened my faith. As a lifelong Episcopalian, I am very
comfortable in my faith. However, this trip was the first time I ever specifically asked Jesus to walk beside me. I was
concerned about the pain of the poverty I would see and, quite frankly, I was concerned about the security of this
somewhat dangerous country. I felt Jesus’ presence with me the entire time, while I was walking the dusty roads from
enclave to enclave (much as He must have done) and during my prayers at night. He was with me and my faith
endures.

Lent Begins - Ash Wednesday March 5th
Lent is a “season” of our Church year.
The origin of the word Lent comes from the AngloSaxon lecten which means “spring.” Lent begins with
Ash Wednesday and lasts forty days, plus the six
Sundays during Lent. Sundays are not considered one
of the forty days, because Sunday is considered a
feast day. The forty days are a symbol of Jesus’
preparation in the wilderness for forty days after his
baptism by John the Baptist and before the beginning
of his ministry. Lent evolved in the church as a
preparation time for those seeking baptism. Also, it
was a time for those who had fallen away from the
church to repent of their sins and prepare to be
received back into the church. The liturgical color
during Lent is purple, signifying penitence.
Ash Wednesday marks the official beginning of
Lent. Ashes are used to mark the sign of the cross on
the forehead as a sign of penitence and humility,
reminding us that we came from dust and will return to
dust. The ashes used are from the charred remains of
palm branches used on Palm Sunday the year before.
The connection is appropriate since Jesus’ entry into
Jerusalem led him within a few days to his death.
This year Ash Wednesday falls on March 5th and
services will be held as follows:
Trinity at 5 p.m.
SMWC at 12 noon

Northern Neck
Food Bank Mobile Food Pantry
SMWC will be the temporary location for a Northern
Neck Food Bank “mobile” food pantry during March,
April and May 2014. Food provided by the NNFB will
be distributed at SMWC in the parish hall on the first
and third Tuesdays of each month from 1-3 p.m. in the
afternoon. We anticipate 50 + different families who
are food pantry clients to be provided food on each of
these Tuesdays. These are families along the River
Road corridor who have been driving 30-50 miles
round trip up to now to Kilmarnock and White Stone
food pantries.
The distribution is well organized with bags of nonperishable food items arriving Monday afternoon at
approximately 12:30 p.m. and the perishable items
arriving shortly after 12 noon of Tuesdays. The food
will be distributed to clients in the 1-3 p.m. time frame
on each of the two Tuesdays. Volunteers on Monday
will help bring in the bags of food to be placed in the
parish hall (about a ½ hour job). Volunteers on
Tuesday from 12:30 – 3:30 p.m. will help with the
receipt of the perishable items and will assist with the
food distribution to clients.
Janinne Pennel from SMWC is the coordinator for
this effort and is the one to contact if you are interested
in volunteering. If you are interested in volunteering
please contact Janinne (462-5803 or e-mail at ----------). Trinity volunteers as well as volunteers from
Corrotoman Baptist Church will also be participating
beginning later in March.
Over the next three months the churches in this
area will be working with the NNFB to determine an
ongoing and more permanent relationship with the
NNFB for a River Road Churches’ Food Pantry which
could be located either at SMWC or elsewhere in the
area.
Don’t miss the SMWC Fellowship Evening on
Friday, March 23 when Lance Barton, Executive
Director of the NNFB will be our presenter and clergy
and parishioners from other River Road Churches who
are interested in the development of the River Road
Food Pantry will join us.

Answer to Did You Know: The Four Chaplains,
also sometimes referred to as the "Immortal
Chaplains," were United States Army Chaplains
(Lieutenant George Fox, Lieutenant Alexander D.
Goode, Lieutenant Clark V. Poling and Lieutenant
John P. Washington) who gave their lives to save
other civilian and military personnel during the sinking
of the troop ship USAT Dorchester on February 3,
1943, during World War II. They helped other soldiers
board lifeboats and gave up their own life jackets
when the supply ran out. The chaplains joined arms,
said prayers, and sang hymns as they went down with
the ship.

Urgent - SMWC
On several occasions recently we have found the door
to the sanctuary unlocked and also the door to the
duPont building. It appears that nothing has been
disturbed on these occasions. If you use either
building be sure you have correctly locked the doors
when you leave. The doors to these two buildings are
somewhat difficult to lock so “test” your locking up to
make sure it worked.
Thanks, Torrence

During Lent the young people of Trinity will be
continuing to study the stories of the Old Testament,
including the events around the Hebrew Passover.
The Passover provides a back drop to events in the
last week of Lent just before Jesus’ death.
The young people will be offering jewelry for sale at
the Shrove Tuesday pancake supper at Trinity this
Tuesday, March 4 (5-7 p.m.) and at other pre-arranged
times to continue to raise money for the young people
in Haiti.
Families are encouraged to come to the Ash
Wednesday service on March 5th held at 5:00 p.m. at
Trinity and to be at church each Sunday during Lent.
The young people will also participate in Palm
Sunday in the procession of the palms as well as
joining their families for the Easter Sunday service,
followed by our annual egg hunt after church.
See you at church!
