* * *BEGINNING APRIL 3, 2013, OURWEDNESDAY Celebration of TheHoly Eucharist with “A Public Serviceof Healing” will start at 12 noon.

All April 2013 is Easter Season, the oldest season in our Christian Calendar.Easter Season encompasses the amazing events of Christ’s resurrection

and ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. Thekey to our Christian faith is found in the reality that Christ is risen! Sin anddeath have been vanquished and God’s power over our spiritual enemies, our“temptations,” is acknowledged and accomplished. “Easter” is derived from“Eostre,” the name of an Anglo-Saxon/ Teutonic goddess of spring, who gaveher name to this month, “April.” This “Great Fifty Days” is a festival seasontransforming the power of new life in springtime.

The Day of the Resurrection, Easter Day, was celebrated on the last day ofMarch in 2013. Easter is the earliest and greatest of Christian festival days.Originally called the Pascha, it was a celebration of the crucifixion and theresurrection as a whole because the early Christians saw the two as indivisibleand acknowledged that after his resurrection Jesus appeared to many people inmany places. Our forebears in faith commemorated not so much the eventsthemselves but the intrinsic significance of the events – salvation and eternal lifewith God; they saw their redemption and their entry into God’s Kingdom asthen-and-there accomplished. Inseparable, therefore, was Christ’s ascensionto prepare the way for us and the descent of the Holy Spirit. The “Great FiftyDays” was seen as one whole.

Over time, belief in the imminence of Christ’s second coming faded and theconcept of the Kingdom of God as both an incomplete present reality and a surefuture reality evolved. Emphasis on the crucifixion and resurrection observancesshifted to the historical events themselves by the late 4th century. Our currentBook of Common Prayer has revived the earlier understandings and delineatedthem more fully within the present seasonal context.

The Paschal Mystery is expressed in the incredible events of Jesus’ crucifixion(which saved us, redeemed us, atoned for our sins once and for all, and reconciledus with God) and Christ’s Resurrection (which vanquished sin and death andmarked the beginning of the establishment of the Kingdom of God). This PaschalMystery is the heart of our faith, although it defies human beings’ completecomprehension. We should always remember that the Resurrection completesthe crucifixion in this Paschal Mystery.

The Resurrection throws the magnificent light of understanding over Christ’sbirth, life-in-ministry and death. The Resurrection is Christ’s victory over deathand so accomplishes our salvation which was begun with the Incarnation andsealed by the crucifixion. Without the Resurrection, what meaning would therest ...Christmas, Baptism, Holy Eucharist, Pentecost... have? No wonder this

There are stillstarving children. People you love stillsuffer. Often you may want to runaway from the questions, deny thechaos and contradictions.

event and the mystery it revealed assumed so important aposition in the life of the Church so soon after the actualevent itself. Sunday became the first day of Christians’new life, their new beginning. This is why they set it apartand made it an occasion for coming together to celebratethe Mystery and to partake of the bread and wine by whichChrist’s presence is made known.

In Easter Season we look to the future. Our hopes aregreat and their fulfillment is assured. The Easter messagegives us confidence and hope.

OCCASIONAL QUOTES

King David

TO SEE WHAT there was about David that made Israeladore him like no other king she ever had, as good a placeto look as any is the account of how he captured Jerusalemand moved in the ark.

Jerusalem was a major plum for the new young king, ahill town considered so untakable that the inhabitants hada saying to the effect that a blind man and a cripple couldhold it against the U.S. Marines (2 Samuel 5:6). Just toremind people who it was that had nevertheless finallytaken it, David's first move was to change its name to theCity of David. His second move was a brilliant maneuverfor giving his victory the stamp of divine approval bytrotting out that holy box of acacia wood overlaid withgold which was known as the ark and contained whoknows what, but was as close as Israel ever officially gotto a representation in space of their God who dwelled ineternity. David had the ark loaded onto a custom-built cartand made a regular circus parade of it, complete with horns,harps, cymbals, and psalteries, not to mention himself high-stepping out front like the Mayor of Dublin on SaintPatrick's Day. When they finally made it into town, he setup a big tent to keep out the weather, had refreshmentspassed around on the house, and, just so nobody wouldforget who was picking up the tab, did the lion's share ofthe praying himself and personally took up the collectionafterwards.

So far it was none of it anything a good public relationsman couldn't have dreamed up for him, but the next thingwas something else again. He stripped down to his skivvies,and then with everybody looking on including his wife—ahigh-class girl named Michal who gave his administrationtone as the late King Saul's daughter—he did a dance.Maybe it started out as just another Madison Avenue ploy,but not for long.

With trumpets blaring and drums beating, it was Camelotall over again, and for once that royal young red-headdidn't have to talk up the bright future and the high hopesbecause he was himself the future at its brightest, andthere were no hopes higher than the ones his people had inhim. And for once he didn't have to drag God in for politics'sake either because it was obvious to everybody that thistime God was there on his own. How they cut loosetogether, David and Yahweh, whirling around before theark in such a passion that they caught fire from each otherand blazed up in a single flame of such magnificence thatnot even the dressing-down David got from Michalafterwards could dim the glory of it. He had feet of claylike the rest of us if not more so—self-serving and deceitful,lustful and vain—but on the basis of that dance alone, youcan see why it was David more than anybody else thatIsrael lost her heart to and why, when Jesus of Nazarethcame riding into Jerusalem on his flea-bitten mule athousand years later, it was as the Son of David that theyhailed him.

“Caring for the Caregiver”

“The wind blows wherever itpleases. You hear its sound, but youcannot tell where it comes from orwhere it is going. So it is witheveryone born of the Spirit.”

John 3:8

A few Sundays ago, the windswere strong. The brake on the

Saint Michael & All Angels’ nametagcart was not on during the secondservice and so the wheels beganturning. The nametag cart found aresting place in the rose bed, and bluenametags were scattered among thethorns. A gentle soul picked themup and placed them in the whitebucket that normally contains theLost and Found.

Monday morning, MurryMcClaren, faithful as the day is long,came to the church to place thenametags in order. Just before sheprepared to attempt the task of sortingthose some 100 plus nametags, Iasked if I could talk to her. She said,“Sure.”I wanted to talk to her about theupcoming Senior Ministry“Caregivers” event on April 21. TheChristian Education Committee hadtried to put an event together back inthe fall but to no avail. The need hadpresented itself. Caregivers can feeldepleted and/or become isolated.There are several parishioners, aswell as many people in thecommunity, that we know that are“caregivers”. The definition of a“caregiver” is one who takes care ofanother. Often, we think of this roleas a spouse caring for husband orwife who is in ill health. But“caregiving” can be extended tograndparents caring for their grownchildren who have had a mishap, orfor mothers and fathers of youngchildren. Caregivers play a vital rolein the well being of our community. Sometimes, caregivers are paid and/or contracted through an agency. Butfor the most part, care giving can beseen in the Christian communitycontext of Christ’s love at work, Hissacrifice and compassion.

This event will take place on April21@11:30am in Michael’s Room. Judy Brady,Kimberly Beeson and Deborah Newquist willbe speaking.

As I shared my feelings about the topicwith Murry, it came about that Murry had afew heartfelt wishes of her own. Namely, shehopes that people would come and feel caredabout. Parishioners will have time to talk toone another and feel encouraged. This eventis meant to bring people together.

After we finished our conversation, Murrymade her way to Michael’s Room to organizeand put all the many blue name tags in order.She returned to the office more quickly thanexpected. “They have already been done!”she said.

Turns out that Clyde Dodge, Steve andMichele Dulson worked very hard to put theblue nametags back into alphabetical order.There was also another mystery person whohelped work on the task. If you know whothat was, please give them a BIG Thank You.That was quite a job!

If you would like more information aboutthe Caregiver Seminar, please contact MurryMcClaren @714-979-6978.

Christian Education continuedfrom page 4

When Emmy-nominated costumedesigner Cliff Chally offered to

make a replacement set of vestmentsat his church in Los Angeles, he wasn’tplanning a new career. But that’sexactly what happened. Today,bishops from San Diego to Jerusalemwear his custom-designed robes, andaltars are adorned with paraments thatreflect their particular context andhistory.

Chally originally wanted to study in Parisbut, after leaving the service, learned hecouldn’t use his GI Bill there, so he headedto design school in Los Angeles. Thecurriculum partnered students withprofessionals in the entertainmentbusiness, and it wasn’t long before Challyhad established a name for himself. Hisfirst job was the inaugural show at theMGM Grand in Las Vegas. From there,he joined the staff at CBS and worked onthe Carol Burnett and Tony Orlandovariety shows doing men’s wardrobesbefore going to work for Aaron Spellingat Columbia Pictures. Then he designeda season for Hal Linden’s Blacke’s Magicon NBC in 1986.

While Linden’s series didn’t last, Challyearned a number of Emmy nominationsworking on costumes for DesigningWomen (1986-1993).

“I spent the next several years flyingbetween Washington and LA,” makingsure both Clintons were ready for primetime, he remembers. “It was quite anexperience.”

Chally is an active member of St.James’ in the City Episcopal Church inthe Diocese of Los Angeles, where heserves as verger. Although raised in theChurch of Christ, Chally first experiencedEpiscopal worship during his childhoodin Texas when a fellow third-grader invitedhim to Sunday school. He still remembersthe profound response he had to the choirand the music, the stained glass andincense. Decades later, when anotherfriend invited him to go to St. James’, hefinally was able to choose the way inwhich he wanted to worship.

He has served as president of theCostume Designers Guild and was onthe Board of Governors of the Academyof Television Arts and Sciences.

When designing for clergy, some uniquedesign element always distinguishes thevestments. Mitres and copes for theDiocese of Los Angeles bear the Handsin Healing cross designed for Bishop J.Jon Bruno by Laura Smith as a symbol

of his ministry. Colors of the sunrisewere airbrushed into the hems of allthe pieces he created for the Dioceseof Arizona, and an aqua liningrepresents the water of baptism whileproviding a symbolic contrast to thefiery sunrise. Sometimes the designsare subtly meant to echo a stained-glass treatment.

Each set of vestments he designs iscompletely unique and appropriate forits setting, “to create a visualharmony,” Chally says.

Chally is very clear that the designshould not distract people from theworship experience. Like costumedesign, if they notice the clothes, thenthey are in the way.”

On one set of hangings, embroideredgrapes have a remarkable texturebecause the thread on each grape issewn in a different direction. Forseveral years, Chally sent pieces toIndia to be hand-embroidered, but afterlong delays and unsatisfactory results,he turned to the people with whom hehas worked in costuming for manyyears.

“I took the embroiderer my sketchand the fabric. He digitized thedrawing, put the fabric in the machineand pushed the button, and there wasmy sketch! I thought, ‘What have Ibeen waiting for?’” Chally says,laughing.

Most of his seamstresses are fromEastern Europe or South America.The first time they worked on a set ofvestments, Chally noticed a profoundchange come over the workroom.

“They were used to making piecesthat are meant to be discarded becausethey get dirty or have bullet holes. Butthese vestments are made to last andwill be blessed and cared for,” heexplains. “There came this quiet Ican’t explain, a peace that changed thewhole atmosphere because of thegreat pride that went into the work. Itwas a great surprise to me. I wasn’texpecting it.”

“What really appealed to me [aboutthe Episcopal Church] at first was theextraneous stuff, the way worshipwas elevated and the way everyonebrings his or her best to the glory ofGod,” he says. “But the longer I’minvolved, I think it’s that the tent isbig enough for everyone.”

YOU MISSED IT!

A reflection on our recentCeltic Quiet Day

by Barbara Black

If you did not attend The Quiet Day onMarch 16th, you missed: - hearing Keith Nelson warmly sharinghis extensive knowledge of Celtic historybefore St. Patrick even came on the scene!; - praying an “Our Father” from the NewZealand Book of Common Prayer; - listening to delightful Irish folk musicperformed by a violin, flute & guitar trio; - eating a baked potato with any/all favoritetoppings; - hearing the intriguing history of thelabyrinth, told by Ann Morris; - learning about the early, pain-filledhistory of St. Patrick with SusanCaldwell; - being intrigued by the definition andexamples of “Thin Places” with MelindaRader;As well as some peace and quiet timeaway from phones and faxes.

So, be sure not to miss our next one!

SANCTUARY REFURBISHINGAs presented at our Annual Parish Meeting on Feb. 3, our parish sanctuary

is in need of refurbishing. The goal is to accomplish this during the comingsummer months. The question now becomes how to provide the funds forthese needed items.

As you can see from the breakdown below, the bids come in at $22,849.00If we could get a bit more than that it would cover any “extras” (in my housethere are always “extras”). Should those not come up - then we would beable to do a few other things. Like remove carpeting in the North Wing andrefinish that floor, etc.

FLOORINGRemove carpets & repair cracked slab 2,120Install center aisle carpet 2,109Install side aisle carpets 2,955

PROPOSED COST FOR SANCTUARY RENOVATION $ 22,849

We are hoping that those who pledged this year would consider adding aone-time gift of $200.00. Please contact either of us with any questionsyou may have with regard to this project ---Lynn Headley & Murry McClaren

Mission MinistryMinutes

Gail Haghjoo, Mission Vestry Member

As the new Mission Vestry member,I am learning about all of the amazinggood works that Saint Michael’sparishioners have accomplished thesepast years. This month I learned aboutour partnership with Loaves and Fishesin Santa Ana.

Director Maria Dzida explains. “Aguest comes, Christ comes.” Anourishing meal Saturday mornings atSt. Joseph’s parish in Santa Ana for600+ poor and homeless guests. Craftsfor the children, ESL classes for adultsand medical screening for our guests. Our all-volunteer crew and generoussupporters work a “loaves & fishesmiracle” weekly.”

Saint Michaels has been a supporterfor many years. We have donated food,supplies and funds for Scholarships forlocal students to attend college.

From March 11 – April 28 our littlered wagon will be used to collect “Full-Size Hygiene Items”. So next time whenyou make that Target or Costco run pickup a little extra for “Loaves and Fishes”.Suggested items: Toothpaste,Deodorant, Shampoo, Conditioner,Bars of Soap, Lotion, Toothbrush,Specialty Items (perfume, bath salts,etc.).

Special thanks to Saint Michael’sparishioner Jennifer Pulford whogathers these items each month for us.

At the Still Point: A Literary Guide to Prayer in Ordinary Time, compiled by Sarah Arthur.

Spend the summer weeks of “Ordinary Time” praying with novelists and poets.

With a title inspired by T. S. Eliot, this“literary” prayer book will delight anyChristian who is inspired to discover the truths of faith in the pages of greatliterature.The liturgical season of Ordinary Time runs for roughly twenty-nineweeks, from Pentecost Sunday (May 19, 2013) in the spring until the firstSunday of Advent in late fall. It’s the longest season of the church year, withfew significant events along the way, which gives it a kind of ordinariness thatthe other seasons lack. There are no narrative high points, no showy colors orcostumes, not even a signature hymn or two.

At the Still Point expands the genre of spiritual writing to include classic andcontemporary fiction and poetry, aimed at inviting you to experience Godthrough your imagination during Ordinary Time. In these pages there are worldsto be explored, characters to meet, images to gaze upon, phrases to savor. Youwill encounter passages from novelists from Austen and Tolstoy to Dostoevskyand Garrison Keillor and poets from George Herbert and St. John of the Crossto Scott Cairns and Kathleen Norris. -- From The Anglican Digest, Spring 2013

I would like to tell all parishionersabout a unique opportunity that SaintMichael & All Angels Church has tobring people into our church at theend of May. On Saturday, May 18at 7:30pm, the Friends of Music ishosting the vocal group LYRA, fromSt. Petersburg, Russia, in concert.

LYRA was founded in 1994, andthe touring ensemble is comprisedof six professional singers who havetrained in leading conservatories bothin Russia and throughout Europe. In2001, they were awarded theMontreux (Switzerland) internationalchoral festival diploma. In 2005,they were also a winner in theColeraine International ChoralFestival (Northern Ireland).

LYRA’s chief mission is exploringand popularizing Russian choralmusic, both sacred and secular.Through their performances theyperform repertoire from the

enormous musical heritage of theRussian Orthodox Church, as well asfrom the long tradition of Russian folkmusic. Well-known composersrepresented on their programs includeTchaikovsky, Rakhmaninov,Tchesnokov, Grethaninov, Stravinsky,and others. They also take great delightin performing music of lesser-knowncomposers. Their repertoire rangesfrom chant to contemporary music, andfrom music of dancing to music ofcommunity ritual.

When I was in St. Petersburg, Iheard a concert of music given byanother vocal ensemble of this size(although all male) in the Cathedral ofSaints Peter & Paul, the oldest churchin the city. The sound was unlikeanything I have ever heard from a choir.Russian basses, in particular, arerenowned for their deep and rich vocalresonance. Hearing that rich andprofound sound in such a beautifulsetting had a profound impact on me,one that I can still recall vividly.

In the coming weeks I will be askingmembers of the Friends of Music aswell as the parish at large for assistance

in hosting this superb ensemble. Inparticular, we will be looking forhousing for the evening of May 18 forseven people, including the director andhis wife and daughter. We will also belooking for assistance in putting on areception after the concert, as well asproviding a hot meal for the singersbefore the program. I know, from pastexperience, that I will have no troubleat all in finding people to help out, and Ithank you in advance for that! If youare interested in hosting a singer, pleaselet me know, and I can provide moredetails.

I encourage everyone to check outtheir website:

http://www.lyra-online.org/

I am really looking forward to thisevent, and encourage you all to markyour calendars now for the concert onSaturday, May 18 at 7:30pm!
