THE BISHOP’S VISITATION

June 21, 2015

WEEKEND EVENTS:

St. Alban’s Artists Display with wine and cheese, June 19, 20 (see Inreach article)

Teaching and Reception with the Rt. Rev. Thomas Breidenthal

What’s the difference between Episcopalians and Presbyterians?

Episcopalians are governed by episcopos and Presbyterians are governed by presbyters.

An episcopus is a bishop; a presbyter is an elder, or priest (have you heard of presbyopia? It’s

an eye disease that affects elders, the elderly).

Congregationalists have a polity in which each congregation governs itself independently. They

decide their own policies, worship in their own style, sometimes ordain their own clergy.

Presbyterians are governed in each congregation by a Session that determines policy and a

Board of Deacons that conducts program. Congregations are united in accountability to a

presbytery, a regional body made up of elders from the congregations in that region. These

elders make their own decisions, and not just represent views in their congregations.

Episcopal congregations are related in a regional body called a diocese, the head of which is a

bishop. My seminary professor always referred to the diocese as “the local church,” since the

bishop is a symbol of unity or “oneness” in the “one, holy, catholic and apostolic” Church. The

bishop is also chief pastor and theologian. The House of Bishops of the national Episcopal

Church issues pastoral letters and votes as one of two bodies in our bicameral system (the

other being the House of Deputies, made up of laity and other clergy). While many Anglican

provinces have archbishops, in our American Episcopal Church, the House of Bishops elects

one of their own to serve as presiding bishop, the first among equals.

The triennial General Convention of the Episcopal Church will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah,

this June 25-July 3. At this meeting, the Bishops will elect one of four nominees to serve as

their presiding bishop: Rt. Rev. Michael Curry (NC), Rt. Rev. Ian Douglas (CT), Rt. Rev. Dabney

Smith (SoWest FL), and Rt. Rev. Tom Breidenthal, Southern Ohio—our bishop!

“The Bishop’s Official Visitation” is a big event, mostly because it’s a joyous celebration, and

also because it is a requirement in our canons that vestries have an official meeting with the

bishop at this visit. St. Alban’s has an episcopal visitation every other year. This year, on June

21, Bp. Tom will confirm nine teens: Michael Boeckman, Grace Brigdon, Isaiah Drewry, Hugh

Fulton, Amanda Johnson, Noah Luehmann, John Niermeier, Theo Snowdon, Duncan Tomkies

and one adult, Connie Schalinske and receive one adult into the Episcopal Church: Robert W.

Philips.

Here is the schedule for June 21:

8:00 AM Rite I Eucharist as usual, rector preaching

9:00 AM Bp. Tom arrives and meets with the congregation, including confirmands,

sponsors and catechists. We’ll get to hear this brilliant teacher share with us

over coffee.

10:15 AM Rite II Eucharist, Bp. Tom preaching, confirming ten, receiving one.

INREACH – Caring for Our Own and Strengthening Our Family of Faith

Calling Artists of St. Alban’s

- Everyone at St. Alban’s is worth knowing, but most of us don’t know much about each other.

Jason Fout, one of our seminary professors, noted how many artists we have here. We started counting – and he’s right. We have

lots!

Not counting musicians, we have painters, sculptors, potters, jewelry-makers, print-makers, fabric artists, carvers and

photographers.

We always celebrate ST. ALBAN’S DAY (our patron saint died on June 22, mid-200’s), and this year, Bishop Tom Breidenthal will be

with us on our festive day. We want to invite our artists – you and others you may suggest – to display their work and meet

parishioners, Friday, June 19, 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, Saturday, June 20, 4:00 to 6:00 PM and Sunday, June 21, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

We’ll supply wine and cheese and tea and cookies.

DELIVERY: Thursday, June 18, 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Bring your card and a c. vita. (Installation: Friday, June 19.)

PICK UP items 1:30 PM, Sunday, June 21, 2015

SALES: For sales, we will advertise “Contact the artist.” There is no cost to participate, but 20% of sales is suggested as a gift to the

church.

Won’t you join us? Please complete Registration form (included on page 10, before the Calendar) and send to Church or email Jenny

Floch at [email protected] as soon as possible, but no later than June 4.

CHILDREN’S AND YOUTH MINISTRIES

Confirmation

Nine of St. Alban’s youth have been preparing for Confirmation throughout the past school year. Grace Bridgon, Amanda Johnson,

Mike Boeckman, Noah Luehmann, Isaiah Drewry, Theo Snowdon, Duncan Tomkies, John Niermeyer and Hugh Fulton spent

considerable time learning about their faith, praying, reflecting theologically and taking other steps toward their adult affirmation of

faith. On May 14 and 17th, each of the nine presented a scripture passage and then provided the congregation with an

interpretation (Midrash) that they worked on with the support of their sponsors. Seeking and serving Christ in all persons is a

significant part of our covenant, from Baptism on. So the final major Confirmation preparation step in the journey involves each of

them going on a mission trip and working in community for the good of others.

The Confirmation will be on June 21, 2015, with Bishop Thomas Breidenthal celebrating and confirming these youth at the 10:15

AM service. Families, friends and the whole congregation are all invited to witness this affirmation and welcome the youth as adults.

This is not the final step, but the beginning of the next stage in their faith journey where they connect with other adults – in

community – as followers of Christ.

nursery will be open at 9:15 AM.

28 First Summer Sunday for children

Summer Sunday Activities will continue from July 5th to August 2nd, starting at 10:00 AM in the main building nursery. PK

through 4th grade are welcome to join the fun!

Summer Sundays in 2015: Fun-N-Faith

Our Summer Sundays are always fun. We mix sunshine, play, and select Bible connections. This year we will continue to tend the

children’s garden and spend time enjoying each other’s company rain or shine. We’ll focus on games...ones that Jesus may have

played as a child, ones where success comes from collaboration, and favorite ones from our own times. Last summer we had one

Sunday where electronic games were encouraged and the children became the teachers for some of the adults (like Ms. Deb), so we

will repeat that adventure, too on a specific Sunday later in the summer.

Any adults who would like to share in the fun on a particular Sunday is invited to contact Deb Parker ([email protected]).

Contact Deb Parker ([email protected]) - Children’s and Youth Ministries Coordinator - if you have questions or

suggestions.

OUTREACH – Caring for Others and All Creation

2015 Rummage Sale

“Where two or more are gathered in my name…”

We gathered and we worked…some two or three…some more… with His promise of

presence among us. When we didn’t think we had enough rummage, we did. When we

thought we’re out of energy or patience, we found some. When we didn’t have a solution

for the challenge of the moment, we found one. Many looked at already difficult

schedules balancing job and family needs… and found some time to help.

We were certainly blessed. Even the weather cooperated! THANK YOU to all who donated items, without which we couldn’t have a

rummage sale. THANK YOU to those willing to work in places where they were needed, even though not in their area of preference.

And THANK YOU to the following parish family members who worked to help make Rummage Sale 2015 a huge success:

Sylvia Acton, Judi Ahrens, Peter Barends, Rachel Barnes, Christine Beckman, Eileen Becknell, Jerry Becknell, Kristin Becknell, Sophia

Becknell, Dee Bolden, Ronnie Brown, Steve Brown, Liz Cartwright, Carolyn Christy, Ella Darke, John Darke, Lisa Darke, Tessa Darke,

Thanks to Amma Susan Smith, Melissa Shirley, Jane Dupke, Bob Sweeney, Brad Swiniarski, Karen Eckenroth, and all choir members

for inspiration and administrative support.

The $14,647.06 (so far) of proceeds will have a positive benefit for our outreach ministries.

In addition to the above funds, numerous mugs were donated to The Community Kitchen, books were donated to The Serenity

Street Foundation (an organization that aids those dealing with alcohol and drug addictions) and Books for Bedtime (an organization

that provides books to children who need them), vases were donated for a senior citizens and Alzheimer craft project, and all other

items were picked up by Volunteers of America.

Some Feedback from the B.R.E.A.D. Nehemiah Action Meeting

The 2014 Issue: Lack of access to effective mental healthcare:

David Royer, Chief Executive Officer of ADAMH (the Alcohol, Drug And Mental Health Board of Franklin County), promised to add a

third ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) team and also said that he would present the ADMH Boards with a plan in December for

a “clubhouse” (a place where multiple services are provided to support people recovering from mental illness).

The 2015 issue: Crime and violence:

Key officials at the city and federal level committed to participating in a plan to Implement the Community Initiative to Reduce

Violence (CIRV) used in 75 U.S. cities. This program seeks to bring together people and agencies in the criminal justice system to

target adult members of gangs, assisting them to find jobs, and a new way of life. It also aims to prosecute gun-related crimes at the

federal level. Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien has signaled his support and the Director of Public Safety has agreed to seek

funding for the initiative.

School Supply Collection

The Social Concerns Committee is sponsoring the collection of school supplies for The Dowd Education Center of the Homeless

Families Foundation from July19 through September 13. A list of requested items is noted below and will also be available on the

Living Room table.

Homeless children are the innocent victims in the tragedy of family homelessness. Homeless children may be ill prepared to start

school, and once in school, may fall behind their peers academically. The Dowd Education Center provides an academically focused

afterschool and summer program for children in kindergarten through middle school that follows the curriculum of the Columbus

City Schools and helps the children overcome their obstacles to success in school. The Dowd Education Center served 118 school age

children during the 2012-2013 school year. For this school year, 95.5% of these children improved their math skills and 95.5%

improved and/or maintained their reading skills. The Dowd Education Center also provides meals, enrichment activities, and

recreation to enhance the social skills and health.

them and are greatly appreciated.

The Neighborhood House

It has come to our attention that there continues to be a need for food to stock The Neighborhood House (NH) Food Pantry,

especially for canned vegetables. While the NH is able to purchase some items from the Mid-Ohio Food Bank, they cannot afford to

purchase vegetables. We are asking that when you go grocery shopping that you purchase a couple of cans of vegetables. While

canned vegetables is the focus of this collection, there is also a need for staples such as rice, spaghetti, cereals, and peanut butter.

There is a box in the Living Room for you to leave your contributions.

For those who do not know, The Neighborhood House, Inc. is a settlement house on the Near East side of Columbus.

Founded in 1909 by St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, The Neighborhood House is a JUBILEE MINISTRY OF THE EPISCOPAL

CHURCH, through which the church addresses domestic poverty by providing direct services, such as food.

For many families, it is a hardship or an impossibility to buy food. More than ever, hunger and food scarcity is a problem and is

occurring at the same time as a cut in the food stamp program. Anything we contribute is really needed and helpful. This food

pantry serves people in five zip codes, and serves patrons regardless of zip code at least once.

EUCHARISTIC LIVING – Celebrations and Thanksgivings

Together, we make Eucharist, which means “give thanks.”

NEIGHBORING: Sharing Rummage Sale days with Bexley Yard Sale

This year, the Rummage Sale at St. Alban’s coincided with Bexley’s Yard Sale – and our Rummage

Sale was better than ever!

THANKS to whoever forewarned Bexley Mayor, Ben Kessler, that both were scheduled the

same day.

THANKS to Mayor Kessler who called St. Alban’s, and even offered to change the Bexley

Yard Sale date, not wanting to thwart our Sale.

THANKS to Senior Warden Steve Brown who proposed to the Mayor that we keep them on the same day, recalling that

when there are three gas stations at one intersection, all three do better than one stand-alone station (since when people

think “gasoline,” they think that intersection).

THANKS to the City of Bexley for publicizing our Rummage Sale with their Yard Sale!

THANKS to the people at Bexley United Methodist Church whose sale started way early on Saturday, who told folks when

they were finished shopping there, they should come to St. Alban’s.

THANKS to the Strategic Planning committee who set as a goal that St. Alban’s do more outreach in our neighborhood.

THANKS to the Good Lord for neighbor-love, and the possible beginning of a new tradition!
