Dear Friends, Even when I am doing my best, my efforts are always laced with failure. The wonderful thing about growing old(er) is that I am more aware of this reality, and it troubles me less and less. It seems to me that every sensible person knows that life is laced with failure. The jobs we do, the “work” we accomplish, the results of our labors all have their humiliating aspects, disap-pointing parts and unforeseen shortcomings. There is always something we could have said bet-ter, an occasion we should have risen to more maturely, something we should have done or left undone, relationships we should have honored. The universe is more complicated than hu-man intelligence can comprehend. Truth itself is fragmentary. No one can capture all of it, or ever fully reconcile the multiple competing goods that surround us in life. A single human life, a single human being, is not enough to overcome the failure, sin, igno-rance and weakness that infect this broken world. Going it alone may work for a time, but only for a time. Even corals and prairie dogs seems to know the value of community. Family, friends and neighbors. The social organization. I make a mistake, behave in an un-becoming way, fail to acknowledge the good when I meet it, and others argue with me, introduce new points of view, correct me, show me paths I never saw, and step by step I grow and mature. And per-haps these efforts of others are themselves flawed, misguided. It doesn’t matter. Inch by inch, step by step, in spite of the innate failure of things, the world and I move forward and the whole commu-nity benefits. Every sensible person should be glad of this blessed progression. The older I grow the more grateful I am for the meaning I increasingly find in the social enter-prise.

Congratulate our youth! Haley Barber and Archer Long are members of the Oak Knoll Mid-dle School Strings. In a recent competition at King’s Dominion this musical group was awarded

first prize!

Have you checked out the bulletin board just outside the library and social hall? It is full of newspaper clippings and announcements of ac-complishments that our youth and adult members have been recognized for recently. The board is pretty full, so if you haven’t stopped to read it lately, take a moment, then go tell someone “well done!”

AFRICAN TEAM MINISTRIES: Since

1984, African Team Ministries has been an inter-mediary ministry between African and American churches of the Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyte-rian, and Anglican denominations. It provides funds for orphan and refugee relief in East Af-rica. We will once again be offering the jewelry and artwork of African Team Ministries. The dates the items will be displayed are June 5 and

June 12. Think Christmas or Birthday gifts while you also support an important Outreach Ministry.

THANK YOU As the school year draws to a close, we want to thank each of our hard-working Sunday School teachers.

These men and women put much time, effort and love into helping our young ones grow in their lives and faith. Next time you see one of these individuals, take a moment to say “thank you.”

Pre-school - 2 grade - Nina Rowland, Ashley

Palmer

3 - 5 grade - Anne Holiday and Patty Drudge 6 - 8 grade - Katrina Farrell 9 - 12 grade - Anne Cross, Greg Price, and

Andrea Kent Andrea Kent served again this year as director of our Christian Education program. We are ex-tremely grateful to her for her hard work, diligence and caring heart. She has shepherded St. Paul’s young people for over seven years. We are all grateful to her for her generosity and kindness. Being an Episcopalian Episcopalians see reality as existing in the tensions of paradox, ambiguity, and di-versity. Richard C. Milhon, Diocese of Kansas

Summer Worship Times We will change to our summer worship

hours of 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM, with no Chris-tian Education, beginning Sunday, June 12.

A little e-cycle help, please? As these things often happen, right after Hanover County hosted an electronic recycle event, the church office printer breathed its last. The new printer we pur-chased will replace both the printer and the scanner/fax ma-chine. So now we have two basi-cally unusable machines that need to be disposed of. If you know of someplace these items can be turned in to be recycled, please let us know! This change also leaves us with unopened toner and ink. The printer used HP 92298A, Q3971A, Q3972A and Q397A toner and we also have HP 45/78 cartridges from the scanner/fax/printer. If you or your office could use this, or you know someone who could, or someplace to ex-change these, again, please let us know.

PLAYDAY AT THE LONGS!PLAYDAY AT THE LONGS!PLAYDAY AT THE LONGS!PLAYDAY AT THE LONGS! Save the date! Saturday, July 23, we’ll gather at Norman and Ann Long’s home on the

Rappahannock River for food and fun! For years this has been a special time in parish life. Join us this year and see what we mean. Adults get to sit in the shade and cogitate, enjoy special refreshments and gaze at the splendid expanse of the mighty Rappahannock. The young people can play along the sandy beach, swim in the river, mess about in canoes and kayaks, fish and maybe even bury the rector in sand. It’s fun for the very young all the way up to teens.

Everyone relaxes and has a good time.

Dress is very casual: swimsuits and old shorts. The cookout is delicious. It’s a good time to get to know each other better. Hope everyone will

come!

“Sweet days of summer, the jasmine’s in bloom. July is dressed up and playing her tune. And I come home from a hard

day’s work, and your waiting there, not a care in the world. See the smile a-waitin’ in the kitchen, food cookin’ and the

plates for two. See the arms that reach out to hold me, in the evening when the day is through. Summer breeze, makes me

feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.”

If you were a teenager in the summer of 1972 you heard those lyrics and the song “Summer Breeze” by Seals & Croft playing on the radio, frequently. Every hour it played until it became the anthem of that summer. That happened a lot in the 1960’s and 70’s. We baby boomers have a tendency to seek to define ourselves in par-ticular events, specific moments and often through the lyrics of a song; the cutting and soulful lyrics of a gen-eration’s troubadours and poets always providing exactly the right phrasing to express our emotions. Our Country was redefining itself; the post World War II euphoria replaced by the divisive and heartbreaking de-feats in Vietnam, the humiliation and uncertainty of a President disgraced by criminal actions lay just ahead and our society was in the throes of determining a new national path. What was then so current and absolutely relevant has become another historical footnote of our country’s past. Quite a reality check for those of us that thought we were on the brink of revolutionary change.

At St. Paul’s Church the summer of 1972 saw a group of teenage boys and one teenage girl preparing for the Bishop’s fall visit and the confirmation that would sig-nal our perceived ascent to adulthood. Those of us lucky enough to have grown up in Hanover Courthouse in the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s shared a childhood similar, I’m sure, to that experienced in many other towns and places. Our lives were more re-sembling of the Andy Griffith Show than The Mod Squad. There was goodness and decency and comfort. The same folks we worshipped with on Sunday drove us to little league practices during the week, hosted pool parties on Saturday night and corrected us when we stepped out of line. The turbulence and strife seemed very distant to us. There were no riots in Richmond, no sit-ins at Hanover Courthouse, and no sense in any of us that we were anything other than safe and secure. As we slogged through confirmation classes that summer I often stared out the window and looked at my grandfather’s store in the near distance, wishing I were there. I can’t say that I embraced the instructions of our patient Rector or that I can recall any specifics of the lessons we learned. I can say only that I understood I was voluntarily joining something not only bigger than myself, but something I would carry with me for the rest of my life; and I welcomed it.

We’ve gone through the confirmation ritual many times in our church. There have been numerous young people and many summer days spent listening to the lessons necessary to understand the commitment of joining Christ’s church. I’m sure that many were just like me, looking out the window, dreaming about the future yet cling-ing to the vestiges of the past. We have another group going through the process right now. The difference with this group is they are all adults. (Jason and Gina Dunkle-

barger, Sheila Durrett, and Ashely Palmer.) Preparing them for this commitment is different than preparing our young people. These folks are my peers and my friends. They’ve lived adult lives already and are making the decision from the perspective of a mature person. They know that the life is sometimes painful and sometimes disappointing. Still, they have made the decision to take the next step and to make a lasting commitment to God. They have made this decision not because it is what their parents want but from a personal desire to grow closer to God through the intimacy that comes only when we turn our lives over to him. I admire them greatly. I am proud to welcome them as brothers and sisters in Christ and thankful they have chosen our church as their home.

Faithfully, Scott “Lean on me, when you’re not strong and I’ll be your friend. I’ll help you carry on. For it won’t be long, ‘Til I’m gonna

need somebody to lean on.” – Bill Withers, 1972

An invitation to the Holy Land with

American Friends of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem

October 17-30, 2011

Join members of the Episcopal Dioceses of Washington and Virginia on a guided pilgrimage to both holy sites and Episcopal institutions in Israel, Pales-tine and Jordan. We will visit Bethlehem, Jerusalem and Nazareth and spend time at the holy places reading the relevant texts from scripture, praying and reflecting on the events of Our Lord's life, death and resurrection. In doing so we will be following in the footsteps of generations of Christian pilgrims. But we will also have the chance to encounter the reality of Christian life in the Holy Land today and in particular the people and institutions of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem.

Questions? Interested? Visit: thediocese.net/Ministries/MiddleEast/#pilgrimage or you may contact the Rev. Ann Gillespie, Christ Church, Alexandria, VA. 703-778-4934.

Congratulations to our Graduates Our hopes and hearts go with these fine young adults as they set forth on a new stage of their journey.

Anne Brooking Harris graduates from Longwood College with a Bache-lor of Science degree in Psychology and minor in Anthropology. She is moving to Charleston, South Carolina, to seek employment. Wesley Chambers Morck, III, grandson of Snapper Harris, graduates from Randolph-Macon College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History.

CONFIRMATION

2011 SUNDAY, JUNE 26

At 2:00 PM on the 26th

The Right Reverend Edwin P. Gulick, Assis-tant Bishop of Virginia and former Bishop of Kentucky, will visit St..Paul’s for a service of Confirmation and holy Eucharist. Four adults will be confirmed. Any-one who wishes is invited to renew his or her own baptismal vows. The ser-vice will be followed by a festive reception in honor of the bishop and confir-mands. This is a moment, like Holy Baptism, when the whole parish family should gather around and welcome the new mem-bers of God’s One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Ashley Palmer, Gina and Jay Dunkle-barger, and Sheila Durrett are our confirmands and we are happy for all four of them. In recent years so many children have been confirmed that none needed the present class. But next year the young ones will catch up.

Those who would like to kayak or canoe in Garden Creek and the Chesapeake Bay are invited to come

down on Friday, June 24 and spend the night. If they want to get another paddle in on Sunday morning they are wel-come to stay Saturday night as well. (Our Confirmation Service is at 2:00 pm on Sunday and we do need to be back for that!). There are 5 beds; 3 nice cots; and two big fold out sofas available. There is also tons of room inside for those with sleeping bags and a big yard for those adventurous campers! Please talk to Anne or

Jack if you are interested in staying. Mathews County has good shops, a Farmers Market; two art galleries, and Donk’s (Virignia’s Little Ole Opry). Saturday, June 25 is the day of the Gwynn’s Island Festival which is always fun. You can crab from our dock and fish in Garden Creek or in the Bay at Bethel Beach just down the road. If you want to arrange for your own accommodations there are several nice Bed and Breakfasts in Mathews. Go to visitmathews.com to

check them out.

Remember July 23 we are planning to go to the Long's River Party and there is a Whitewater Rafting trip the following week!

Yoga classes continue on Tuesday nights. We’re back to our 6:30PM start time. They are $5 per class.

Thank you to all who provided re-freshments after the services. The lunch prepared by Anne Holliday's class was outstanding! Special thanks to those who assisted with the picnic lunches for Historic James-towne. Betty Hart, Carl and Dixie Heckel, Ashley Hes-sion, Diane Freeman, Hank Ford and Jack Sutor all pitched in. The next morning Robbie Barber, Scott and Wendy Harris, Sheila Durrett, Diane Freeman and Jack were at Historic Jamestowne bright and early to set up the tables and chairs for our lunch. A big "thank you" to all. On Sunday, June 5, Choir Sunday, we will have the Sunday School picnic after the later service. Lemonade on the Lawn will begin the following Sunday. There is a sign up sheet. This is simple. We just have lemonade and cookies outside after the 10 am service.

On Sunday June 26 there will be a reception for the Bishop and Confirmands after the ser-vice at 2pm. There will be a sign up sheet for those who can bring "finger food" for this.

There is no Last Friday Social in June, but we do have a two part special event the weekend of June 24,25, 26. On Saturday, June 25 all are invited to a picnic at 4 pm the Cross home on Garden Creek in Onemo, Virginia (Mathews County). This is about a 1 ½ hour drive from Hanover. It will be held both inside (air conditioning!) and outside and goes on rain or shine. Food and drink will be provided. The cost is $5 per person. We will be posting a sign up sheet.

A YOUTH MISSION TRIP IN JULY

Twenty-five years ago the Reverend Chris Pierce founded Youth Missions Organization. He had seen a news report about land developers and contractors in Sea Islands, SC taking land from descendents of former slaves who had never received deeds to the property. Mr. Pierce decided to create a group (YMO) whose purpose was to get youth involved in mission by building houses and community. For about six years Father Chris (as he likes to be called) has been rector of St. James’ Church in Warrenton, Virginia. During that time the YMO at St. James’ has been sending teens each summer to construct houses in a desperately needy area of Sea Is-lands. Through contacts with Lynn Reeves, whose family has friends at St. James’, the youth and adult chap-erones of St. Paul’s have been invited to join this summer’s mission trip. The trip is planned for July 2-9, 2011. Each participant will need to raise $650. This will cover transportation, food and supplies. Most of the young folks will receive $200 which our diocese awards each successful youth confirmand for use in taking part in such mission trips. The teens have also conducted a plant sale on Sunday, May 8, and are also collect-ing earnings from working in the yards and around the houses of parishioners who have hired them. As with every mission trip, the point is to pay one’s way so that no expenses fall on the needy people the mission is designed to help. You may recall that in our mission trips to the Gulf Coast and New Orleans, St. Paul’s par-ticipants left all tools and other supplies we took with us for the benefit of those we served. Anyone who de-sires to contribute to our youth missioners can call Lynn Reeves at 730-0710. I am immensely proud of Lynn and our young people and their chaperons Greg Price and Andrea Kent. God bless them. Jack

THE BIRTHDAY OF THE CHURCH WEAR RED! WEAR RED! WEAR RED!

WHITEWATER RAFTING ON THE NEW RIVER

This trip is planned for July 28 (driving over, and poolside hospitality at night), 29 (raft trip on the New River, followed by fun in the raft company swimming and outdoor amusement park), and 30 (Holy Communion at a picnic table and driving home). See Scott Harris or Jack Sutor for de-tails. The New River is the oldest continuously flowing river on the North American continent, predating the last ice age (known to geologists as the Teays). The deep gorge it has worn through the mountains is millions of years old, filled with boulders the size of houses, and is the premier white water rafting experience in eastern north America. Sign up for this great trip. You’ll learn about geology, rafting, and your fellow pa-rishioners at the same time.
