O. Box 616 Gloucester, VA Holy Days in July Many are surprised to learn that Independence Day (July 4) is listed as a Major Feast of the Episcopal Church. We will gather at 10:00 a.m. in the Church on Monday, July 4, for a celebration of the Holy Eucharist and to give thanks for the independence we enjoy and offer prayers for our country. Please consider marking our Independence Day first and foremost with Thanksgiving to God apart from whom we have no independence. On Wednesday, July 20, we will celebrate the life of Mary Magdalene. Let us recall the life of the first witness of the Risen Christ and what it means for us go and tell. We ll gather at 10:00 a.m. in the Chapel of the Christ Child for a celebration of the Holy Eucharist. Join us as we celebrate the life and witness of St. James the Apostle on Wednesday, July 27, at 10:00 a.m. in the Chapel of the Christ Child for a celebration of the Holy Eucharist. 2

3 Go ing in the Summer Our new Presiding Bishop is wasting no time being about the work of Jesus. As the Most Reverend Michael Curry takes up the mantle of leadership, he is already bringing promises of renewal to the Episcopal Church and our witness to the love of God through Jesus Christ. He sums up the mission of all Christians and the church with the simple command of Go. Just as Jesus commanded his early disciples to Go we too Go. We go forth into the world rejoicing in the power of the Spirit and in the Name of Christ. We go; we change the world changes too. There is a lot go ing on this summer. In late June, I had to opportunity to spend upwards of an hour and half with our Bishop Shannon Johnston at his office in Richmond. I appreciated the Bishop spending so much time in conversation with me. During our time together, we discussed many facets of life in the church from personal growth and development, to challenges and celebrations here at Ware, to the life of the national church and beyond. Bishop Shannon sends greetings to you all and assures us of his prayers. Something else go ing on this summer pertaining to Bishop Shannon is our annual Episcopal visit scheduled for July 17. Bishop Shannon will join us at 10:30 a.m. to preside at the rite of Confirmation and celebrate the Holy Eucharist. To mark and celebrate this day, we will have one service at 10:30 a.m. Our 8:30 a.m. service will not meet. Also, we ve been asked to participate in the Diocese of Virginia s 2016 Stewardship video. Part of the bishop s visit to Ware will open the video which will be distributed throughout the diocese. What a great way to be a part of our diocesan family. More to come on what role we all get to play in this wonderful celebration. Another go ing on this summer is the July 3 joint-parish service and picnic at Abingdon. You will remember the wonderful Epiphany event we hosted where the three parishes gathered for food, fellowship, and the burning of the greens. Abingdon is hosting the second event: An Independence Day celebration and picnic. All three churches will gather at Abingdon on Sunday, July 3, at 11:00 a.m. for an outdoor service and celebration of the Holy Eucharist. Yours truly will be the preacher for this service. Members from all three churches will participate as readers, chalicers, and acolytes. It promises to be a wonderful celebration of what God is doing through our three Churches in Gloucester and Mathews Counties and with our families and neighbors in Middlesex. Note: The 8:30 a.m. service as Ware will continue as usual. A final go ing on this summer is the arrival of a parish intern. I was asked by the director of the Young Priest Initiative (YPI) to consider serving as a mentor for one of their candidates. The director felt that Ware Church would be a great fit for this person and would be able to provide a solid representation of life in a healthy parish and opportunities for experiencing life as a parish priest. On June 27, Amanda Bourne will join us for 10 weeks. She will shadow me in the office and on pastoral visits. She will attend meetings of the vestry, other parish ministries, and assist with our weekly worship opportunities. There will be an event to welcome Amanda; so keep an eye on the weekly e-vine for more information. Wherever you find yourself going this summer, GO with God. Go with the intention to share the love of Christ however you are able. Don t forget that our command to GO comes every Sunday at the conclusion of our worship. So come so that you may GO forth alive with the Spirit of God and in the name and ministry of Jesus Christ. Faithfully, 3

4 By Which You Promised to Serve God Faithfully Part 3 of 6 by The Reverend Grant Ambrose Review: Last month, our focus shifted to the Baptismal Covenant. I explored the biblical understanding of covenant and the significance of the Apostles Creed in our baptismal covenant. In part 3, our focus shifts to the first of five questions we are asked at baptism. You may find the Baptismal Covenant on pages 304 and 305 of The Book of Common Prayer. Part 3: The Baptismal Covenant Will you continue? Having publicly professed our faith in the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we come to five questions that are asked of us at baptism. These questions form the core of our responsibilities to God and the broader community of believers and the wider world. The first question: Will you continue in the apostles teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers? This first question connects us to the tradition of the apostles the men and women who risked much to continue the work of Jesus Christ and establish the mission of the Church. A few words about these men and women would be helpful. When one hears apostles the mind quickly recalls the big 12: Bartholomew and James, son of Alpheus - name two. Then there are apostles who were appointed after the initial 12: Mathias, Barnabas, Paul. There are others still. While not explicitly called an apostle by one of the four evangelists, the likes of Mary Magdalene, whom tradition calls apostolorum apostola the apostle to the Apostles, ranks among the apostles. As an apostle, by definition, is one who is sent out, Jesus does just that to Mary, he sends her out, to tell the other apostles that he has indeed risen from the dead (c.f. John 20:17-18). What is essential to remember is that the apostles were from all walks of life and all stages of life. They were male and female; they were rich and poor; they belonged and were outcasts. They were all drawn together in Jesus Christ! Following the Ascension of Jesus, these apostles went to work spreading the Good News that through Jesus Christ the Kingdom of God has drawn near. The work of these early apostles was two-fold: 1) to keep the teachings of Jesus alive in the world and 2) to address the needs of the world. So we return to our baptismal covenant. Will you continue in the apostles teaching? What are these teachings that we are to continue? Where do we find these? The best initial starting point is the Book of Acts. In this work by Luke the Evangelist, we see how the early disciples lived and moved and had their being. The teaching of the apostles is the teaching of Jesus. Their teaching points to Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life. Their teaching constantly focuses on caring for those in need and being vigilant in spreading the gospel wherever we may be. In our covenant, we promise to also continue the notion of fellowship. This is absolutely at the core of our faith. After Jesus had been baptized, signaling the beginning of his ministry, what was the first thing he did? He started putting together a community of followers. Starting small, this community quickly grew to a dozen, to nearly a hundred, and more. The night of his arrest and before his crucifixion, Jesus gathered with his disciples and friends for one last act: to gather for fellowship and a final meal. And it will be this final act and this final meal that will form the very essence of who and what the Christian community is all about: gathering in the presence of Christ and with one another. No other act we do as a Christian Community matters as much as when we gather as the Body of Christ to share the Body of Christ. To miss this is to miss the meaning of Christianity. One more word about fellowship. As the early Christian gatherings grew so did internal factions. As these factions formed, the Church moved closer to destroying itself. While the intention of the Christian Community is to be a gathering for all people in all sorts and conditions, some early churches, certain churches in Corinth for example, began to focus more on who was who at the risk of shunning some and outright neglecting others. Paul has some very clear and concise words 4

5 for these communities. In no uncertain terms, Paul tells these early churches that there is no place for actions such as these. For a wonderful exposition of what it means to live in Godly fellowship in the Church, read 1 Corinthians. The third part of this first baptismal question revolves around the breaking of the bread. As already noted, the breaking of the bread predates the time of the apostles as it was instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ himself. However, there is more here than the sacramental act of the Eucharist. Note the word breaking. This act is an act of sharing. A loaf of bread, while representing the whole, is difficult to feed to more than one person unless it is broken. Breaking the bread signifies that all are welcome -- that provision will be made to feed whoever is hungry. There is something more about this notion of breaking -- particularly the one who breaks. For that single loaf of bread to feed more than one, someone must break it. And the one breaking the bread provides the means for others to eat. That is our role figuratively and literally: to be bread breakers. We are not to just continue in receiving, i.e., in fellowship. We are to continue to be feeders as well: we are to break the bread so that others might eat as well. Or, as James exhorts: Be doers of the word and not merely hearers (James 1:22). This brings us to the final part of this apostolic question: prayers. It worthy to note that prayers here is plural. This helps remind us that there are many types of prayers: intercession (asking God to intercede in our life or the lives of others) and thanksgiving to name the most common. The plural nature of the word is a reminder to pray often. Too often, we see praying as something that we can check off our list: I said my prayers this morning; I m good for the rest of the day. Or give Now I lay me down to sleep a onceover and be done. (Not that anything is wrong with either). But prayer is something we should do throughout the day: four times a day the Book of Common Prayers suggests. Regardless of when and how often, the fact remains that we are to be people and a people of prayer. This first question of the baptismal covenant is chocked full of invitations and expectations. In this one question, we are connected with the early life of our church and the men and women who continued to live the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Just as importantly, we are reminded of what we are to do in our time to live as one who is sent out to do the work of the faith in the name and witness of Jesus Christ. The question is will you continue. It s a question that expects an action. Will you? Back to School Clothing The annual school clothing letter will go out in July asking for help with Ware s back-to-school clothing, backpack, and school supply project. Each year we try to help more children of Gloucester County get off to a good start in September. Last year we were able to help 43 children as a result of your contributions of $4,450. Thank you for your contributions of time and money! Festival of Patriotic Music and Prayer Ware Episcopal Church will host a festival on Saturday, July 9, at 3:00 p.m. featuring songs and hymns that helped define this nation from the late 17 th to the 19 th century. There will be hymns to sing and familiar tunes to enjoy. To draw everything together, there will be prayers and thanksgivings offered for the Nation. Michael Monaco, Ware s Minister of Music, will explore and offer the music and the Reverend Grant Ambrose, Ware s Rector, will lead the prayers and thanksgivings. 5

6 Music from Michael Dear Sisters and Brothers, We are all looking forward to Bishop Shannon s visit this month, and I am happy to say that our Treble Choir will be contributing to the Liturgy with their singing. Even though it is summer vacation for the children, enough will participate so as to sing the Spirit Song, which they offered at Pentecost. The invocation of the Holy Spirit at Confirmation is most appropriate, and since red is the Church s color for the Holy Spirit, the children will wear their new red choir outfits. I am very grateful to Peg Moncure for facilitating their participation. Speaking of participation, I hope some folks will take advantage of the Summer Music Ministry and offer their musical gifts to the Lord. Like any new program, I realize that it takes time for folks to conquer the fear and trepidation and come forth, but this is a very rewarding (and painless) opportunity to express yourself musically for the Lord, without making any long term commitment. I have had one brave soul who has expressed an interest, and I thank her for being willing to be the first. As you know, I am engaged in the process of Spiritual Discernment to see if it is God s will that I exercise my priestly ministry in the Episcopal Church; and I am soliciting your prayerful support. Some folks have spoken to me expressing their concern that I will leave Ware Church if Bishop Shannon receives me as a priest, but I assure you that is not my intention, and Grant and I are discussing the possibilities of how I might assist him at Ware. So, please pray for me! Blessings to all, Michael Wednesday Midweek Holy Eucharists in July and August Weekly celebrations of the Holy Eucharist are scheduled on Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m. in the Chapel. The Second and Fourth Wednesdays of each month will include prayers for healing with laying on of hands and anointing. (The Second Wednesday of each month s Holy Eucharist and Healing continues to coincide with the Prayer Group s monthly meeting). Meetings for July and August Vestry Prayer Group Thursday, July 14 Wednesday, July 13 Thursday, August 11 Wednesday, August 10 6:30 p.m., Parish Hall 10:00 a.m., Chapel Keep Up Those Pledges and Pick Up Your Financial Statements Second-quarter financial statements will be available by the second week of July. Check the narthex for yours. When you pick up your statement, look it over and if you have any questions about it, call the Parish Office at

7 Communication News As we come to August, please keep a look out for the weekly editions of the e-vine. These, along with the Sunday announcements, will highlight all the information you need for the fall programming from Christian education, Junior Choir, adult education offerings, forums, etc. Things are shaping up to make this fall a wonderful season at Ware. Greetings from Martha! A number of you have asked how things are going with my discernment process. So, here is an update as I continue to follow God s call to the priesthood. First, things are going well, and I greatly appreciate all the prayers and support I know many of you are extending on my behalf. As part of the discernment process, beginning in the fall and ending midwinter, I participated in a dual Parish Discernment Committee with members from both Ware and Abingdon. Once the committee finished its work, I was assigned a contact person from the Committee on Priesthood of the Diocese of Virginia. When that happened I moved up in the process from Seeker to Aspirant fancy names for the various steps in discernment. My next step is to move up to Postulant. This requires an interview with the Committee on Priesthood and meeting with one of our Bishops who then determines whether or not to grant postulancy. Should I be granted postulancy, I would then find out what education requirements will be expected by the Committee and Bishop. The next time the Committee on Priesthood holds postulancy interviews is November 4, Please continue to keep me in prayer as I prepare and then go for my interview this fall. Somewhat similar to this past academic year, beginning Sunday September 4, I will rejoin Abingdon and serve again as their Ministerial Intern. Unlike last year, I will not split my internship time between Ware and Abingdon but will serve the new internship solely at Abingdon in preparation for going before the Committee on Priesthood. You will not see me on a regular basis, but know I keep you all in my prayers. St. Tabitha s Guild s Sleeping Mat Project We are off to a great start! Thank you to all who have donated plastic bags and volunteered time to help organize them. We are still collecting bags (in the St. Tabitha s room in the lower level of the Parish Hall) throughout the summer months. Our Phase 2 Party (to organize the bags and get them ready for Phase 3) will be Saturday, July 23, 9:00 a.m. - Noon. We will meet in St. Tabitha s room and the Library. On Saturday, August 27, the Phase 3 party will turn the bags into plarn and starting to make the mats. We will meet in the Parish Hall, 9:00 a.m. - Noon. All are welcome to join the fun (this is not limited to just St. Tabitha s folk)! All hands are encouraged to participate in as much as they are able, even if it is only for a portion of the various sessions. Thank You Thank you so much for the birthday and anniversary cards and gifts in May and June. Charlie and I renewed our wedding vows for our 50 th anniversary and it was a wonderful day in every way. I am so lucky! Becky 7

8 Tri-Parish Retreat, July This is the month for our Parish Retreat with Kingston Parish and Abingdon at Shrine Mont. The theme is Gather. There will be plenty of free time, great food, worship, meaningful workshops, outdoor activities, hikes and pool time. So, those of you who turned in your application forms, get your stuff packed and look forward to a refreshing weekend. Obviously, all remaining fees also must be paid before July 29. Vestry Notes Did You Know? Our rocking chair ministry is up and running. Young parents now have a quiet, private area to care for infants (or simply let them sleep) during services...and they won't have to leave the church building. A platform rocker is in place in the loft above the narthex. Our thanks to Ann & Joe Brown for making this possible. Vestry Update Rachel Teagle and Anne Dyal have resigned from the Vestry. Rachel hopes to use her time more effectively serving Ware Church in mission & outreach. Anne is focusing on her ministry as a caregiver. We are blessed to have them in our midst. As a result, the Vestry will conduct business in the near-term with the current 10 members. As we approach the end of the year, we will determine if a 9-member vestry is more appropriate for a church of our size. To improve communication with the entire congregation, the Vestry has aligned itself more closely with the ministries in Ware Church. The following assignments are not intended to change the function of existing groups within the church. They are intended to identify specific Vestry members and connect them with ministries or areas of interest. Invite these Vestry members to your meetings, or simply talk with them during coffee hour. Have a question or great idea for Ware Church? Get in touch with the Rector and these Vestry members: Outreach & Mission - Carole White, Woody James, Paul Crook Growth & Development - Jane Smith, Pat Roane, Joe Brown Buildings, Cemetery & Grounds - Rick Zima, Henry Moncure, Lee Brown Budget & Finance - Joe Brown Stewardship - Pat Roane, John Howerton The Vestry is also revising the approach to our shared stewardship of Ware Church. Instead of relying on a small group of vestry members, we are expanding participation by the congregation. While Pat Roane and John Howerton will represent the Vestry, others will join them as we emphasize stewardship throughout the year and share how Jesus Christ walks and moves and does and loves and gives at Ware Church. Liquid, Fragile or Perishable? A woman decided that she would send the old family Bible to her brother in another state. At the post office, true to form, the postal worker asked her if there was anything breakable in the package. "Only the Ten Commandments," she replied. 8

9 New Intern Dear friends, First of all, thank you so much for the warm welcome you have given me over the past couple of days. I am delighted to be at Ware Church for the next ten weeks, and I look forward to meeting all of you in whatever way our paths may cross. By way of introduction, my name is Amanda Bourne, and I come from a small town in Southern Maryland. I graduated in May from Marymount University with a degree in English, and a minor in Theology and Religious Studies. Marymount is located in Arlington, right outside of DC, which is where I have also spent the last several years in ministry at St. Mary s Episcopal Church. My ministry background is in communications and marketing, but I am currently in discernment for where and how I may be called to minister in other capacities. I am at Ware as a part of this discernment through a program called Young Priests Initiative, through the Diocese of Virginia. My time among you is spent with a goal of learning more about the ministry of priesthood. I am so blessed by this opportunity to serve and learn from you over the next few weeks. Please don t hesitate to introduce yourself, or contact me by at intern@warechurch.org. I look forward to our walk together.
