Easter -- continued
Easter is a season, not just one day. The season of Easter lasts for fifty days. Indeed, the reality of Easter is part of every day of the year. For in resurrection, we find hope.
(from the Rector’s homily on Easter Day)
“This story of resurrection isn’t only Jesus’ story. It is our story, too. Jesus, our strength and hope, was born, lived, died, and was raised to new life – the same new life we expect and hope for ourselves. As Mary Magdalene bore witness to this incredible new reality, we too must go out and tell others.
And if we’re the ones who are supposed to go out into the world proclaiming hope in the new life promised us in God, you’d think we’d have been equipped with something to show for it. It’s difficult to explain why we’re willing to give our whole selves to this cause. And it’s hard to help others see why we have so much hope when, at times, the world around us can give us so little reason to hold on to that hope.
Whether it’s because of economic woes, political strife, natural disaster, illness, war, and violence, a reason to hope can seem illusive. Are we not being just the slightest bit polly-anna-ish when we talk about our hope in the resurrection? Are we not just a little too happy on this day, talking about new life and new beginnings, when so much in the world is fighting against life and joy and well-being?
One minister reflected upon a time when she was teaching a class on our gospel lesson today and she was encouraging the group to live boldly and to act in ways that are life-giving. This, she argued, is exactly what a resurrection peo-ple should be doing. One member of her class arose and with disdain asked if she had ever raised someone from the dead. The class participant seemed un-able to imagine how we could actually be agents of such power in the midst of a world so full of suffering.

From the Assistant to the Rector
EPISCOPAL FARMWORKERS’ MINISTRY GOES TO VIRGINIA SEMINARY!
As I write this article, I am preparing to go to Virginia Theological Seminary from April 22nd to 24th. Dean Markham invited me to accompany Father Tony Rojas from the Episcopal Farmworkers’ Ministry. Father Tony will speak about his work at a special meeting of professors and students at the Dean’s home on Tuesday evening, April 23rd. Father Tony began his work as sacramental minister at the Episcopal Farmworker Minis-try in Newton Grove, North Carolina in July 1996. He is the Executive Director of the Episcopal Farmwork-ers’ Ministry which serves the whole person, not just the spiritual needs. English as a Second Language classes are taught; there is a food distribution program, and a Migrant Outreach program that provides cloth-ing and supplies, emergency transportation and advocacy in the presence of rights’ violations. The Sister Communities Program pairs churches with labor camps; churches commit to meeting one or two times monthly with the people in their camp during the summer growing season. This ministry of hospitality is in-valuable for men so far from home and from their families. It is a wonderful opportunity for our congregations in the Diocese to grow by learning about another culture.
I am delighted that Sarah Bentley will be leading a group of high school students to the Episcopal Farmwork-ers’ Ministry from July 15th to 21st. The Iglesia de la Sagrada Familia, the Church of the Holy Family which worships here is the fastest growing church in both the Diocese of Eastern Carolina and the Diocese of North Carolina. My prayer in taking Father Tony to Virginia Seminary is that they might begin to send seminarians there on mission so that they can see first-hand the pathetic conditions in which our migrant workers work and live, while providing us all with fruit and vegetables. I pray that these seminarians, when they are or-dained, will encourage their congregations to reach out and provide much-needed financial and practical help to our dear Latino brothers and sisters.
God bless you,

AAdult Acolytes Do you miss being able to serve as an Acolyte at Church services? Did you never have the opportunity to serve as an acolyte in your younger days? HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY! We are in the process of determining the interest of adults (21 or older) in serving as acolytes at the 8 AM service. Youth would continue to be scheduled at 8 AM services, but adults would also be scheduled if there is enough interest. Only one acolyte serves at 8AM. Among the duties involved are lighting the candles prior to the service; carrying the Crucifer’s Cross in the Processional, Gospel Procession and Recessional; distributing and collecting the offering plates; and assisting the Priests with the preparation for Communion. Acolyte schedules are made out 2 months in advance and schedules are made out taking into account conflicts you may have. If there is sufficient interest, we could begin scheduling in July and training would take place prior to this time.
If interested or for more information, please contact either of the Acolyte Co-Chairs:
Herb Goins – phone 887-3508 or email: [email protected]
or
John Wall – phone 454-4947 or email: [email protected]

TThank you from BackPack Beginnings Thank you to the congregation of St. Mary's Church for the support you have given BackPack Beginnings this past year. As a 100% volunteer organization, we rely on the generosity of our community. We are so appreciative of the 9 members of your church who deliver food each week to almost 125 students at Oak Hill and Northwood Elementary Schools. Beyond the weekly food deliveries, your church has supported us over Advent and Lent by collecting food and supplies for both our Food and Comfort BackPack Pro-grams. Through our mission to provide children in need with nutritious food, comfort items or certain basic necessities through the use of backpacks and other efficient means, we can make a direct, positive and lasting impact on the health and well-being of children in our community with your support. Thank you again, and we look forward to continuing this partnership. You can learn more at www.backpackbeginnings.org.

DDavid Flood Returns Master of Choristers at Canter-bury Cathedral, David Flood, will return for a choral work-shop and hymnsing in August 2013. Arrangements are still in the works and a final date will be announced later.
EEaster - continued from cover The minister answered, “Every time I bring hope into a situation, every time I bring joy that shatters de-spair, every time I forgive others and give them back dignity and the possibility of a future with me and others in the community, every time I listen to others and affirm them and their life, every time I speak the truth in public, every time I confront injustice -- yes -- I bring people back from the dead.”
I think she would agree as well that, in fact, it isn’t she who brings others back from the dead, but the grace of God working through her. Bearing witness to the resurrection isn’t just pie-in-the-sky wishing or getting lost in dreams that are completely out of touch with reality. Bearing witness to the resurrec-tion, being an agent of resurrection, is about offering hope.”
May you seek ways to offer hope, not only in this Easter season, but in every season, all of which have been transformed by Christ’s triumph over death.
Pax et bonum,
David+

PPhase II Building Planning Begins In March, the Vestry once again commissioned a Building Steering Committee to oversee the second phase of capital expansion on our campus. The Com-munity Life Center, completed in December 2012, continues to be a tremendous gift to our parish and High Point at large. The second phase of construc-tion will include a replacement building for the cur-rent education and administrative building and a connector between the new education building and the parish hall building. Jeff Miller has been chosen to chair the Steering Committee. If you have not yet made a contribution to Phase II and would like to, please contact Katrina Parnell, our financial secre-tary, at [email protected].
BBishop Curry to Release Book In August, Church Publishing will release a book by Bishop Curry based on his 2012 address to Gen-eral Convention that went viral on the web.
“We need some Christians who are as crazy as the Lord. Crazy enough to love like Jesus, to give like Jesus, to forgive like Jesus, to do justice, love mercy, walk humbly with God—like Jesus. Crazy enough to dare to change the world from the nightmare it often is into something close to the dream that God dreams for it. And for those who would follow him, those who would be his disciples, those who would live as and be the people of the Way? It might come as a shock, but they are called t o c r a z i n e s s . ” — f r o m B is h o p C u r r y ’ s “Crazy Christians” address to the 2012 General Con-vention of the Episcopal Church in Indianapolis.

BBuilding Open Spaces FIRE ~ Judy Brown
What makes a fire burn is space between the logs,
a breathing space. Too much of a good thing,
too many logs packed in too tight
can douse the flames almost as surely
as a pail of water would.
So building fires requires attention
to the spaces in between, as much as to the wood.
When we are able to build open spaces
in the same way we have learned
to pile on the logs, then we can come to see how
it is fuel, and absence of the fuel together, that make fire possible.
We only need to lay a log lightly from time to time.
A fire grows simply because the space is
there, with openings
in which the flame that knows just how it wants to
burn can find its way.
As the end of our program year at St. Mary’s draws to a close, I have often found myself reflecting on the strengths and weaknesses of different programs and activities from the past nine months. I have been read-ing about the structure of community, the church in the 21st century, and leading from within. And I am prayerfully considering to what God is calling St. Mary’s as we move forward. I hope you will join me in this prayer. We have an incredible community filled with faithful, talented individuals. I wonder what else we could be doing to embrace our neighbors here in High Point. I wonder what else we could be doing to disciple our youth and teach our children the faith. I wonder how we could get to know each other better and feel more connected as a faith community.
As the poem “Fire” by Judy Brown describes, fire burns in the spaces between logs. I wonder how we can cre-ate spaces in our community that will lead to new life and growth. What could we do instead of adding one more activity, one more program, one more service that would nurture our relationships? I wonder how we can tend the fire of St. Mary’s.
FFaith & Sexuality Forum for Adults After the wonderful success of our Faith & Sexuality Program for Middle School students this Spring we have decided to have a forum for adults! Please join us in the Common Room on Sunday, May 12th from 12:45-2:00pm. Please RSVP to Sarah Bentley if you would like a box lunch! [email protected] or 886-4756

FFaith at Home Forum Parents and caregivers are the primary Christian edu-cators for their children. At baptism, parents and godparents promise to see that the child they present is "brought up in the Christian faith and life" as well as to help that child "grow into the full stature of Christ" (Book of Common Prayer, pg. 302). We want to make sure parents have all the resources to help their families continue learning the faith, engaging the faith, and sharing the faith throughout daily life. We hope you will join us for a forum discussion on Faith at Home Sunday, June 2nd from 10:00-10:45 in the Parish Hall. Childcare will be provided.

NNew ABC Scholarship Student
Karla Deras-Martinez is in the fifth grade at North-wood Elementary School and has been an out-standing music student there. After she excelled in learning to play the recorder, her music teacher con-tacted me with a recommendation for a music schol-arship. Karla has always wanted to learn how to play the violin and was so excited when she was se-lected to receive a scholarship from the Acad-emy. Her family thanks St. Mary's for this wonder-ful opportunity for Karla and the Academy is pleased to have such a committed and serious music student.
YYouth Choir News
In the upcoming weeks, the youth of our music pro-gram will sing several times. April 28 is Children's and Youth Sunday, and young voices will sing at both the 9:00 and 11:00 services. At 9:00, the youngest of our voices, the "Cherubs" will sing of the seven joys of Mary. At 11:00, choir school participants will sing two anthems. Youth will also be playing stringed instru-ments at these services.
May 5 is Choir Appreciation Sunday, and our choir school singers will join forces with the adults, strings, timpani, and organ to present Mozart's Missa brevis in C (K. 259). This is an exciting venture for us!
Deeper into May, the choir school will perform a con-cert of sacred and secular music at off-site venues.
We are recruiting for next year's participants. Please consider guiding your children, grandchildren, or neighborhood friends to sing with us. ~Charles Hogan
