August 2016 - St. Andrew`s On-the
The Rectors Reckonings Whatever we say about the First Sunday of Advent, being the Church’s New Year’s Day, the first Sunday after Labor feels like it’s the beginning of the year. Lots of things that have been somnolent over the Summer will wake up and be back in force. Children will trundle off to Sunday School, and parents will gather in the Parish Hall for coffee and conversation. But, as they say on the infomercials, “Wait, there’s more!” We also have classes for adults, and not just on Sunday, but throughout the week. When we speak of Sunday School it’s hard to avoid thinking of children, but if we call it by a more contemporary name, Christian Formation, it’s easier to think of it as a part of a lifelong process. We don’t learn Christianity as children and then let it run like the Energizer Bunny. The stories we learn when we’re small are intended as a foundation upon which we build. Church provides a lot of learning, but all of us can be enriched by deeper study. Watch for announcements about our adult classes. Look at the weekly calendar for other activities, Men’s Spiritual Formation, Women’s Book Studies, Meditation, and others. Each stage of life offers challenges, and we want to help everyone to be spiritually ready for them. Come and grow with us in Christian Formation this year. Getting to Know Our New Curate POSTULANT (PAS.tu.lant) One who has been accepted by the Bishop into the process leading to ordination. As a Nominee for ordination under the Canons, Sarah made a detailed application to the Bishop of East Carolina as to her personal and canonical qualifications to be accepted into the ordination process as a Postulant. Thereafter, Sarah and the Bishop conferred as to her vocation and qualification. Based upon Sarah’s Application and the personal interview(s), the Bishop notified Sarah and the Diocesan Commission on Ministry that he was prepared to proceed. The Commission met with Sarah to review the Application and prepared an evaluation for the Bishop of Sarah’s qualifications to pursue a course of preparation for Holy Orders. The Commission then presented its Report to the Bishop as to its evaluation of Sarah and its recommendations therefor. Sarah was required to satisfy the Bishop regarding her intellectual ability and competence to pursue a course of study preparatory to ministry in Holy Orders. Based upon the Application, the Evaluation of the Commission on Ministry, a canonical certificate from Sarah’s Congregation or other community of faith, and a consultation with Sarah as to the financial resources available to her during her period of preparation for ordination, the Bishop admitted Sarah as a Postulant for Holy Orders. _ Submitted by Robert Royce SARAH’S REFLECTIONS ON HER ADMISSION TO POSTULANCY Though a cradle Episcopalian, I was working full-time as the Education Director for a Methodist church in Swansboro, NC when I began to honestly consider a call to ordained ministry. For years, with positions in camp and youth ministry, I had touted the importance of the call to lay ministry – “ordination isn’t a promotion!” and “the church runs because of lay people!” – so I had to humbly stick my foot in my mouth when I Our New Curate Continues thought, “Wait, I know that’s true, but I’m actually being called to sacramental ministry.” And so, after talking with my family while home for the holidays, in late 2010, I walked the few blocks down the street to the local Episcopal Church, St. Peter’s, and, to this day, praise God for Father Bert Eaton who didn’t turn me away when I introduced myself. After meeting with him, then going through a parish discernment committee and a job change so that I could attend St. Peter’s, I applied to be a Postulant. In the Diocese of East Carolina, this process also involves spending a night at Trinity Center with the Commission on Ministry, which conducts interviews and then makes recommendations to the bishop regarding applicants’ aptness for ordained ministry. I have been assured by several clergy friends that this is a common reaction, but on the day I got the letter from Bishop Daniel indicating my acceptance as a Postulant, my first reaction was one of relief and excitement that the journey would continue, followed quickly by a fearful, “What have I done!? What am I getting into?” Much of the process leading to ordination is a lesson in letting go of control and trusting God, but often, it feels, trusting God-working-through committees and bishops. Once accepted as a Postulant, you can apply for seminary, as directed by your bishop. Bishop Daniel originally directed me to explore Yale, General Seminary (New York, NY) and Virginia Theological Seminary (Alexandria, VA). Perhaps still learning to let go of control, I applied to VTS and Duke, with a strong desire to pursue Duke’s option for a concentration in Christian Education (and avoid the cold and drear of the northeast). Our God provides – by this time Bishop Lee was in place as our interim bishop and he was a supporter of Duke and former adjunct professor at the Divinity School. Equally importantly, as I worried and prayed over how to afford seminary (not an inexpensive endeavor), in late May, as decisions loomed heavy, I was offered a full tuition scholarship to Duke and it seemed the way was made clear. In August 2013, I loaded up dogs, fish and frogs (and had returned two medically-needy ferrets to the shelter from which I had rescued them) and moved to Durham to begin seminary. FLOWERs On-the-Sound ALTAR FLOWERS We are in need of flower dedications for the months of September and October. This is a great way to honor and/or remember that special someone or occasion.

Upcoming Available Dates: September 18th, 25th and October 2nd, 9th, 23rd and 30th.

Mid-Week Service Opportunities Monday (7:00am) MEN’S SPIRITUAL FORMATION Monday-Thursday (8:30am) MORNING PRAYER is a brief service with readings and prayers following a form that has been used daily in the Church for the last 1,500 years. Tuesday (10:45am) HEALING SERVICE WITH HOLY EUCHARIST is a quiet service of Holy Eucharist where there is opportunity for special prayers for healing for ourselves and others. Wednesday (7:30am) MEDITATION IN THE MORNING Take a break from the busyness of the world and quiet your mind through meditation (30 minutes). Thursday (7:00pm) CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES Gentle instructed yoga and meditation, free of charge, helps to quiet the soul Saturday Evenings (5:30pm) A CELTIC EUCHARIST SERVICE On Saturday evenings, we worship God together with songs and readings rooted in the spirituality of Celtic Christianity. We have adapted resources from The Iona Community, an Ecumenical Christian Community living and worshipping together in Scotland. Though the pattern and structure of our Saturday evening service is quite similar to a traditional Episcopal liturgy, the Celtic heritage of The Iona Community shines through with an emphasis on simple yet beautiful language, time for silent reflection, and an open conversation on the Scripture as opposed to a traditional sermon. Taking place in the Parish Hall, the atmosphere is at once relaxed yet contemplative. All are invited and welcomed at the Lord’s Table as we seek to be inspired by the grace and mercy of God’s Holy Spirit. Though the best way to understand what this service is like is to come and worship, perhaps this reflection taken from The Iona Community will give you a sense of what we hope and pray happens as we worship God together: We owe our very existence as a community to the central Gospel conviction that worship is all that we are and all that we do. Either everything we do is an offering to God, or nothing. We may not pick and choose. Our whole life, we believe, is a search for wholeness. We desire to be fully human, with no division into the ‘sacred’ and the ‘secular’. We desire to be fully present to God, who is fully present to us, whether in our neighbor or in the political and social activity of the world around us, whether in the field of culture or of economics, and whether in prayer and praise together or in the very centre and soul of our being. Of ourselves we cannot make this happen. We cannot make ourselves whole any more than we can make ourselves happy or good. But we do believe that by grace we are to structure our lives, both individually and together, in obedience to the vision that God has given us of what wholeness is like, primarily through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Also, we might have some puppets telling our stories this year! K-2nd Grade: Godly Play is a Montessori method of teaching Bible stories and Christian language in a way that enhances the child’s relationship with God. The children hear a story with beautifully crafted materials that enhance their understanding. They are also encouraged to wonder and explore the deeper meaning of the stories through art and play. 3rd-5th Grade: These awesome kids will explore how all the Bible stories relate to each other through the “Connect” series to form God’s Big Story. Each week they will See, Explore and Make. First they will focus on a witty video, then explore biblical text, and finally play a game or do a craft. They will love this class! We are looking forward to a wonderful new year! Jennifer Arcuri, Director of Christian Formation 910-256-3034 x106 Words from Your Senior Warden Speaking only for myself, I haven’t yet seen the “lazy days of summer,” and I don’t anticipate that I will in the next month. It feels like time is racing by, that there is never enough time to be quiet, thankful and purposeful. I even find myself rushing through my prayers, at home and in church, so that I can move on to the next thing. So I am taking the opportunity here to be quiet, to think, and to be thankful for the BLESSINGS that this summer has bestowed upon us at St. Andrew’s On-theSound: Youthful energy and spirit in the form of our new curate, Sarah Smith, and our new Christian Formation Director, Jennifer Arcuri; continued beautification of our grounds; additional resources for Pastoral Care with the addition of our Deacon, Henrietta Williams; a balanced budget(!); and an already active Stewardship Formation group to launch our “Growing Together Since 1923” fall campaign. Praise be! - Frances Goodman, Senior Warden Outreach Ministries NEWTON GROVE BOOK BAGS The book bags are ready for pick-up in the Church, and are due back to the old Parish Hall by Sunday, August 14th.
