FROM THE EDITOR

The Greatest Example

How often we quote Leviticus 19:18: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” It’s not a bad standard to reach for; even Jesus repeated it (see Matthew 22:39 and elsewhere). But in John 13:34, as Bible scholar Dr. Harry Wendt points out, Jesus changes the wording slightly but crucially: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another” (ESV). Perhaps during his time on earth, Jesus realized humans don’t actually love ourselves very much or very well. So, using self-love as the bar by which to measure neighbor-love might be ineffective. Although we may act self-enamored and self-impressed, it’s often just a cover for inner feelings of self-loathing and self-doubt. After washing his disciples’ feet and before sacrificing his very life for them (and us), Jesus changes the wording — and the example that will lead us: “Love one another not as you love you, but as I love you.” Unconditionally. Unreservedly. Wholeheartedly. Unto death. And into life everlasting.

If It’s Easter That Means Liturgical Change

With the coming of Easter, we entered into a new liturgical season in the church known as the Great Fifty Days of Easter. The Great Fifty Days run from Easter Eve (the Vigil) through the Day of Pentecost (which in Greek means fiftieth day).

During the Great Fifty Days, the alleluias are said again in the liturgy following the Fraction and in the Dismissal; and they are a welcome addition since they are omitted in the season of Lent. The Gospel readings will tell of Jesus’ post resurrection appearances and focus on his teachings. The liturgical color continues to be white for vestments and altar hangings and the hymns return to songs of joy filled with alleluias. It is also customary for the Paschal Candle to burn at all services during this fifty-day season.

These fifty days are a time for us to rejoice in the fact, that through the resurrection, Christ continues to live within us, and as his disciples we are called to make Christ known in all the world through our words, deeds and actions.

During these Great Fifty Days, may we continue to rejoice in our Savior’s resurrection and with joy do the work He has given us to do.

Blessings,

Mother Diane+

Lacquered with Love Japanese artisans practice a 500-year-old Japanese art called kintsugi, or “golden joinery,” to reassemble broken pieces of pottery using a lacquer mixed with gold, silver or platinum. The premise is that brokenness doesn’t render something useless or ugly. Indeed, another Japanese term, wabi-sabi, means “to find beauty in broken or old things.” We come to Jesus broken, but he doesn’t discard us. He heals us, though our scars do often remain visible — just as the spear and nail prints remained in his own body when God raised him from death. The Holy Spirit coats our wounds and fractures with the lacquer of divine love, and we become uniquely beautiful, appealing to others so they can find support for their own healing. Our scars tell them they aren’t alone, while the brokenness that’s part of another’s faith journey assures us that we, too, have companionship along the way.

OUTREACH AT ST. ANN’S

You Can Help!

The Daughters of the King are collecting plastic shopping bags (any size, any color--even ripped) to

make PLARM (plastic yarn) that will be crocheted into sleeping mats for the homeless. There is a

turquoise-color bin in the Parish Hall where you can leave them. Not only would you be helping the

homeless, you would be helping the environment by keeping the bags out of our waterways and off the

roadside!

Now that the warmer weather is around the corner, it is time to get rid of the winter hats, gloves, scarves,

and jackets that no longer fit or you just don't want or need any more. How about donating them to the

Peanut Butter and Jelly Ministry, St. Ann's Thrift Shop, or for the Eastern Farm workers? The recipients

at the Eastern Farm Workers are not just men, but also women and children.

Now is also a good time to clean out your pantry and food cupboards. If you have some items that you

haven't used and they are taking up valuable space, and the expiration dates are good, donate them to

our Food Pantry.

If you like to knit or crochet but have no one to make items for, the Seaman's Church Institute, the

Peanut Butter and Jelly Ministry and The Eastern Farm Workers could use your talents.

If you are having a party--birthday, anniversary, or retirement, etc.--how about requesting donations for

the Food Pantry, Peanut Butter and Jelly Ministry or The Eastern Farm Workers? If you are like me, you

don't need more "stuff".

Our family here at St. Ann's has been blessed. We have a roof over our heads, food for our table, and

warm clothing. Many of our neighbors are not so fortunate. Please help in any way you can. If you have

any questions just ask Mother Diane, Father Brian, or any of the volunteers at one of our wonderful

outreach groups.

6 The CORRESPONDENT

Spring has well and truly arrived. I’m not one to complain about a little rain (or a lot of rain), particularly as my front porch is covered. As we move from the season of Lent to Easter, we are also making the move from winter to spring, and so my thoughts from the front porch turn naturally to resurrection. We can see its signs all around us, which is an invitation to find resurrection in our own lives. I’ve had time to reflect on where I am, and where I’ve been, throughout the season of Lent. As is the case every year, I have failed in some of my Lenten disciplines. But it has brought to my attention the places in my life where I need to seek out Jesus and the new life he promises all of us. I’ve found, in my self-reflection, a tendency towards complacency. I am often a slave to routine, and at the end of the day all I want to do is finish up my work and put on my sweat pants. There is nothing wrong with relaxation- our God promises us rest, and even ordained a day of rest in the 10 commandments. But it can be all too easy to fall into a rut when our daily routines overwhelm our motivation to seek out new things, and, in particular, our motivation to seek out Jesus. For those of us in the life of faith, complacency can lead us to an assurance that we have already found Jesus, or that we know where to find him. That is a dangerous assumption- from the earliest Christian writers to our own C.S. Lewis, we are warned against stagnation in the life of faith. It is an uphill climb with few plateaus, and generally we are either climbing to God or slipping away. But it is in the moments that we realize we are slipping away that, if we look up, we can see the helping hand of Jesus, inviting us ever forward into new life.

Hidden Opposites

Self-help author Karen Salmansohn writes: “You gotta look for the good in the bad, the happy in your sad, the gain in your pain, and what makes you grateful, not hateful.”

As Resurrection people, we do “look for the good in the bad” — the life God raises out of death, the hope Christ offers beyond despair. But even faithful Christians can’t expect to always find happy in the sad. Neither is our highest purpose in self-help, but in other-help — serving others as Jesus did. Earthly happiness is temporary and circumstantial, but we find joy amid pain as the Holy Spirit reassures us that God is greater than this broken world. And practicing gratefulness is surely uplifting — for ourselves and others.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY MINISTRY

By Mary Mattarella (631-590-0076) Dearest Friends, This past month has been rich with the miracles of God! I must thank and commend my whole church family, for all the contributions and love that you have all poured into the "God Loves Peanut Butter and Jelly " mission. Our local mission work has been very fruitful! We, as a church family, have provided 523 families, with sandwiches, snacks, milk, shoes for children, underclothing, coats, clothing, hygiene products, toilet paper, money for two families for heating oil, work boats for men, and much more! The areas I have gone to (with the "Mary-Mobile”) are Central Islip, Bellport, Riverhead, Shirley, Brentwood, Patchogue, Commack, Sayville, Wheatley Heights, Wantagh, and Mastic. All

those who are serving as missionaries and as prayer partners, keep it up!!! God hears us, and--for sure--He is pleased.

God always serves as my travel guide, with different "road maps" every day. If anyone has any leads, please text me the location, so that I can point the "Mary-Mobile", in the right direction! Right now, I am transitioning into spring and summer items, and can use T-shirts, men's boxers, ladies’ underclothing, ladies’ hygiene products, deodorant, shampoo, ladies’ skirts and dresses, flip flops, children’s T-shirts and shorts, bottled water. If any cash is donated, I will be purchasing children's bathing suits, juice boxes, and children's reading books, for those

who are trying to learn English. If anyone out there speaks good Spanish, I would like to have index cards, with simple words in English on one side, and the Spanish translation on the other. I have had several requests for help in this area.

We, with God, are truly making a difference! One mother in Patchogue, needed a pair of shoes for her daughter. She cried as she told me that her daughter was being mocked in school, because of her shoes. I promised her a pair, took down her size, and asked God to help with this. Well, I suppose God knew He could depend on a sister in St Ann's, for I received the money I needed, went to Payless, and bought the shoes. I delivered them to my new friend's home, and I was met with thanks and sincere joy. Oh, and of course, I was invited to share what little food they had, and the love in that home. I am also a regular in Bellport, having made many friendships there, with people whom society tends to shy away from. Many times, I have been pulled over by the police while exiting the area, because I am usually there late at night. Well, here we go again, our God showing us Glory, in the form of a policeman! You see, this particular policeman, had the "pleasure" of pulling me over several times, looking into the always

packed "Mary-Mobile", and questioning me as to why I would be visiting a “red zone" at such a late hour. This month, said police officer, finally realized I was telling the truth--and guess what?-- He donated two large packs of toilet paper, two jars of peanut butter, and six T-shirts--just asking that I keep his name to myself! God shows up everywhere!

Our last mission trip to NYC, was also filled with joy, and tangible evidence of God's will for us, and the love God has for ANYONE. You see, I have been working with a young lady named Terry, for years. Terry was addicted to heroin, and her family threw her out. She took up residence in Penn Station, where she beat her addiction on her own. Terry quickly became comfortable with our missionaries from St. Ann's

as I introduced them to her, and she trusted us with her heart, and love. I am thrilled to report to you that Terry was there outside Penn Station, beaming with joy, standing tall, and anxious to tell us all that she found a job and housing! She thanked all of us for the hope we had given her. Because we all loved her and gave her dignity with the supplies

On the third day, the friends of Christ coming at daybreak … found the

grave empty and the stone rolled away. In varying ways, they realized

the new wonder; but even they hardly realized that the world had died

in the night. What they were looking at was the first day of a new

creation, with a new heaven and a new earth; and in a semblance of

the gardener, God walked again in the garden, in the cool not of the

evening but of the dawn. —G.K. Chesterton

we handed out, she found the strength to move onto the next level, rejoining society. We had tears in our eyes as Terry hugged us all, thanking us for being the mother she never had, and for not giving up on her. We needed work clothes for Terry, and we all looked through our bags, to find something. We had a lot, but no work clothes. Well, coming around the corner, were three people, pushing a cart with clothes, not knowing where to go. The matriarch of this kind group of three, told me that God put it on her heart to do this, so she did, and they found US! You guessed it, inside this cart, were several pretty items, ALL TERRY'S SIZE, AND SUITABLE FOR HER JOB!!

The train ride home after a good day in the city. The day in the city, was one of great joy, with Taylor, Rodney, Paddy, Trevor, and me--and Joanne and Charlotte from Zion Episcopal Church. The Zion church family also made 190 sandwiches! Our group has also been invited by Raymour & Flannigan for a community day, so it looks like God is sending us to Brooklyn! Thank you all!

With Love, The Very Festive Mary

Expanding Our View of Service

We often think of serving in terms of Matthew 25: supplying food and clothing; caring for the sick, incarcerated and other “least of these” members of society — serving Jesus in the process. But we also can serve him with our unique talents and by doing things we love. For example, Ged King, a barber in England, devotes some of his time off to giving homeless people free haircuts. Imagine Jesus saying, “For my hair was long and scraggly, and you cut it” — or “My heart was lonely, and you played music to lift my spirits. I could no longer read small print, and you read to me. I have to work two jobs, and you invited my child to spend afternoons crafting with you. My car broke down, and you repaired it.” Then the King will say, “Come, you who are blessed by my Father … whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:34, 40, NIV; emphasis added).

Hi, Friends—

The pressure cooker is a best friend to me in the kitchen! When

I can get good quality beef stew meat on sale, I love to make

Beef Stew in my pressure cooker. Here are the ingredients:

Beef Stew

2 pounds of cubed beef ( I like to make a good portion, left

overs are great to store in the fridge for lunches)

one pound of small fresh carrots

one can of peas

two stalks of celery cut into pieces

one yellow-red-or white onion

one can of beef broth, four cubes of beef broth, salt, pepper.

DIRECTIONS: Coat your beef in flour, and brown your beef in the pressure cooker, in about 1/4 cup of oil.

After your beef is nice and brown, shut down the heat on the stove. Then, add all veggies plus garlic if you like.

I use at least half a bulb, cut into pieces. Add your liquid beef broth with your cubes. cover your ingredients

with water. Secure your pressure cooker, and begin cooking, with your stove on high. Once you see that your

pressure cooker is producing steam, lower to medium. After about twenty minutes, release some steam from

the valve, and continue cooking for an additional 45 minutes. After this is done, remove from heat, and when

the safety valve indicates it’s okay, carefully open the top. If you are not happy with the liquid level, you can

always cook for an additional ten minutes. I like to serve my stew with noodles, but mashed potatoes and rice

also works. (This recipe also works well in a crock pot).

The CORRESPONDENT 13

Holy Saturday What’s compelling about Holy Saturday for me is that Jesus’ disciples surely descended into their own kind of hell — one to which anyone who has lost a loved one to death can relate. Death’s finality and wrenching silence strike fear in us. The silence of Holy Saturday reminds us powerfully that death isn’t something to be circumvented or avoided. The truth is that we need to go through a Saturday of death, recognizing its power, before we can realize the power of a Sunday of resurrection, when death is defeated. —Bob Kaylor, Homiletics

Our Church History

By Connie Currie

When Seward S. Travis died of a stroke in late January of 1937, Sayville lost one of its most

prominent citizens. Only 61 years of age, Travis had served Sayville as a teacher, principal, and superintendent of schools for 13 years. His was a distinguished career in education, having served New York State for 35 years when he retired in 1932.

Mr. Travis was born in Watervliet, NY, to a Baptist clergyman and his wife, who named him for William H. Seward, a neighbor, who became Secretary of State to President Abraham Lincoln. It was during his tenure that “Seward’s Folly”—the purchase of Alaska—occurred. The family moved to Oregon when Travis was a boy, and he later graduated from the University of Oregon.

Seward S. Travis began his teaching career in Derby, near Buffalo, NY, where he met his future wife, Miss Nancy Culbertson, while they were attending Geneseo Normal School. He was principal of a school at Panama, NY, and for ten years at Sherman, NY—both of which are in Chautauqua County.

Mr. Travis headed the Greenport Schools for 14 years, coming to Sayville as principal in 1920. Besides being Principal of the Sayville Schools, he was made Superintendent of both Sayville and West Sayville School Districts in 1928, a position he held until his retirement four years later. During Mr. Travis’ administration the school district grew rapidly, and a new high school was built.

In 1912-13, he served as President of the New York State Principals’ Association. He was one of the founders and chairmen of the New York State Public Schools Athletic Association and was President in 1926-27. He was also founder of the Suffolk County Public High Schools Athletic Association. He was also a Past Master of the Greenport Masonic Lodge and a life member of Connetquot Lodge 838 of Sayville.

Seward Travis was survived by his wife Nancy; five sons—Theodore of Atwood, NJ; Seward Ford of Providence, RI; D. Palmer of Brooklyn; and R. Gould and John G., both of Sayville. He was also survived by a brother, Carl of Portland, OR; and two sisters, Mrs. Ella Edmundson of Eugene, OR; and Miss Emma Travis of San Francisco, CA.

Masonic services were held at Raynor’s Funeral Chapel during the evening, with funeral services being conducted by the Rev. D. Paul Herriott. Burial followed the next day in St. Ann’s Cemetery.

The Lamb (Agnus Dei)

This image is known as the Agnus Dei, Latin for “Lamb of God.” When pictured standing and with a banner, it represents the risen Christ, victorious over death. John the Baptist, seeing Jesus approach, famously declared, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29, NIV). In Revelation, too, Jesus is portrayed as a lamb who was slain but now reigns triumphant.
