The queen of all the liturgies of
the church is the Great Vigil and
first Eucharist of Easter. We
gather in the tomb-like darkness
of Holy Saturday night and,
suddenly, a great flame is struck
among us. This flame is the new
fire of Christ in-breaking among
us in the midst of the tomb. The
Paschal Candle is lighted from the
fire and the celebrant processes
throughout the Nave (the part of
the church where the pews are from the Latin word for ship or
navy), symbolizing the pillar of
fire by which God led the
Hebrews out of Egypt toward the
promised land. The celebrant
pauses three times to chant, The
Light of Christ; and three times
the people respond, Thanks be to
God. The people light individual
candles from the Paschal Candle
and the light spreads in the
darkness among the congregation
as we chant and read the Old
Testament stories of God's
deliverance from death and
slavery. Then, with the first
reading from the resurrection
narratives all the lights come on
and we sing alleluias for the first
time since Epiphany season, and
we find the church beautifully
decorated for Easter with the
vestments of white and flowers
everywhere. We then joyfully
celebrate together the first
Eucharist of Easter tide. Easter
tide begins with that first Alleluia
at the Great Vigil, continues
through the festive Eucharists of
the Day of Resurrection, and ends
50 days later on the Day of
Pentecost. During this season, the
liturgical color is white and
liturgies are uplifting and joyful.
The General Confession is not
used during the first weeks. God
has turned us full circle: from the
ash heap of our lives of Ash
Wednesday He has brought us
into fullness of life and joy. God
does, indeed, have the final word.
The Paschal Candle burns in the
church near the font throughout
this season and at all baptisms and
funerals. We also us it for
weddings to symbolize the
presence of Christ and the
possibility of resurrected living in
a marriage relationship.

RECTOR’S REPORT:
Helen
suggested that it is canonical to give
1% of our excess at the end of the year
to a seminary. It was agreed to give
this year to Seabury Western. Helen
said she would find a good recipe so
that parish members could bake unleavened bread for communion.
A

is planned for Sunday, February 7th.
JUNIOR WARDEN:
Johanna
reported on the “I’m not lost” program.
It is in companion to the bread we put
out. A note will be attached saying “if
you need help, contact Caritas”. The
meeting for the Quilt Show is February
7th. The Quilt Show is April 23-24.
The idea of for street signs was
brought up. We will seek permission
to place them as money has already
been set aside in the budget for them.
Cindy has requested the a group be
formed to clean the kitchen on a
Saturday in Lent.
WORSHIP COMMITTEE: Helen
would like to do Ashes-to-go on Ash
Wednesday downtown.
CHRISTIAN ED: Adult Ed is studying the Book of Luke starting in January.
BUILDING AND GROUNDS: New
carpet is needed for the garden room
by the bathrooms. A donor has offered
to pay for painting the church, parish
hall, garden room and east room.
OUTREACH: Hands of Faith will be
January 24-31 and April 3-10.
175th ANNIVERSARY: There will
be a soup and pretzel lunch on Feb. 28.
A homecoming is planned for late
August/early September. 175 days of
prayer will begin on Feb. 29.
BUDGET: Carolyn distributed the
budget. The Vestry approved it. The

filed for audit.
