The Newsletter of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church November 2007

211 Trinity Place West Palm Beach, Florida 33401www.holytrinitywpb.org

Accept, O Lord, our thanks and praise for all that you have done for

us. We thank you for the splendor of the whole creation, for the beauty of thisworld, for the wonder of life, and for the mystery of love.

We thank you for the blessing of family and friends, and for the lovingcare which surrounds us on every side. We thank you for setting us a taskswhich demand our best efforts, and for leading us to accomplishments which

satisfy and delight us. We thank you also for those disappointmentsand failures that lead us to acknowledge our dependence on youalone.

Above all, we thank you for your Son Jesus Christ; for thetruth of his Word and the example of his life; for his steadfast

obedience, by which he overcame temptation; for his dying,through which he overcame death; and for his rising to lifeagain, in which we are raised to the life of your kingdom.

Grant us the gift of your Spirit, that wemay know him and make him known; and

through him, at all times and in all places,may give thanks to you in all

things.

Amen

From the Interim Rector…..

If you attended the recent Town Meeting held after

both services, you will have heard the report of the Rector

Search Committee. At the time, the committee had nar-

rowed a field of over thirty candidates to three. Beth

Walton, Chairperson of the Search Committee reported that

all three are superior candidates. By the time you read this, it

is likely that invitations will have been issued to two of the

candidates to come to West Palm Beach for extended inter-

views with the Committee and the Vestry and a tour of West

Palm and environs. Actually, it is possible that when you are reading this, it will be a

matter of days, before or after the actual decision has been made.

Beth also indicated that there will be special periods of prayer leading up to the

decision. I am assuming that this has been an ongoing part of your prayer life; how-

ever, I hope you will be especially observant when the Committee calls us to prayer.

Because there is so much mystery in our faith – mystery simply means a reality

that cannot be adequately expressed in words and thoughts – we turn to the rich use of

symbols. In a few weeks, we will move into the season of Advent – a time of great ex-

pectation in the rhythm of the Christian Church. It is a season of hope – the yearning

for a light to shine into the darkness of the world.

It is a fitting and auspicious time to be anticipating the arrival of a rector. Your

new rector will join you in creating and celebrating a new advent for Holy Trinity as

you all eagerly celebrate the one who has come “to bring light and life to all people.”

I will soon begin a series of encouragements called, “The Care and Feeding of a

New Rector.” Listen for it on Sundays and watch for it in print.

In the meanwhile, first we will be celebrating the supreme characteristic of the

spiritual life, Thanksgiving, some times called by its Greek equivalent, Eucharist.

Holy Trinity is called to be a witness of

God’s love to the people of our commu-

nity and to the world through our open

doors, our open minds, and our open

hearts. All baptized persons are wel-

come to receive the Sacrament of the

Holy Eucharist. We are a community

on a spiritual journey, seeking to grow

in faith and service through our wor-

ship, education and outreach programs.

IN 1977, JIMMY CARTER BECAME THE 39TH PRESIDENT OF

THE UNITED STATES and Rubin Askew was the 37th Governor of Florida. The aver-

age annual income was $15,000. You could buy a new house for $49,300 or rent one for

about $240 a month. Gasoline was 65 cents a gallon, which was never even a thought

when driving a 1977 Cadillac that got about 8 miles to the gallon, or for the more eco-

nomically minded, the Ford Pinto would go forever on a tank of gas. You could fill the

tank for less than $10. The average new car cost $5995.

The New York Yankees defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in six games win-

ning the World Series. Colleen McCullough’s, “The Thornbirds” was number one on

the New York Times Best Seller List, along with Larry McMurty’s, “Terms of Endear-

ment”. “Annie” and the revival of “The King and I” were running to packed houses on

Broadway. On television, Farrah Fawcett was America’s fantasy in “Charlie’s Angels”.

“Laverne and Shirley”, “Happy Days”, “Three’s Company”, “All in the Family”,

“Little House on the Prairie”, “Alice” and “Mash” were the top watched television

shows. “Star Wars”, “Smokey and the Bandit”, “The Goodbye Girl” and “Close En-

counters of the Third Kind” were sold out in theatres. “Saturday Night Fever” opened

with John Travolta. The fantastic BeeGee’s soundtrack fueled “disco fever” with hits

including, “Stayin’ Alive” and “Night Fever”. Platform shoes, silk shirts and big hair

were all the rage. Stevie Wonder, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Rod Stewart, Queen,

Billy Joel, Wings, Carly Simon, Bob Seger, Barbra Streisand, and Barry Manilow

topped the music charts. Elvis Presley died and Bill Swift was rector. Oh,….. and I

came to Holy Trinity!

Stan Doyle was the organist choirmaster. I am forever grateful to Stan Doyle

for giving me the opportunity to serve as his assistant. My initial assignment was to

prepare music for the 8 am service, the 9 am family service as well as to assist with the

11 am service. Stan was a marvelous friend and teacher. He truly cared about his stu-

dents and did everything possible to make sure that we were succeeding. Just ask Gary

King! Stan taught me so much about church music ministry. His musicianship was

both astonishing and intimidating!

When I first came to Holy Trinity, there was no music at the 8 am service, so

Father Swift thought that it would be a great idea to start having music. It gave me a

chance to enjoy the massive pipe organ completely on my own. Stan supervised the

other two services, but 8 am was music totally of my choosing. Along with helping to

play at the services, I worked with the Children’s Choir.

A number of the “kids” were able to attend the 30th party including: Cam

Collins, Tara Collins, Kelly McCann, Jeff Lewis and a huge surprise, Brian

McCann!!! Susie Snayd emailed me to say congratulations and Holly and Susan Ful-

ton sent regards through their mom, Carole Dorsey. I now have some of their children

in our current Children’s Choir! Stan also asked me to help establish a “Folk Mass”

choir. When Michael Jones became our Curate in 1978, I found a kindred spirit in

appreciation of contemporary music of a liturgical nature that actually had some integ-

rity. Michael, his wife Susan Douglas Jones and I worked with a fun group of people

with guitars, flutes and beautiful voices who met weekly in the sanctuary to prepare

music for future folk masses. Father Jones played the drums, and I played on a piano

donated by Helen Grosjean, that had to be wheeled into the church every time we

wanted to use it

THANK YOU FORWONDERFUL YEARS !!!

WHEN FATHER RASNICK and

his family came to Holy Trinity in

1979, things really took off! We had

many years of wonderful, spirit-filled

worship, as well as social events that

helped to unify our congregation. As

a direct result, the two later services

were combined into one service at 10

am, with traditional music for Rite I

and more contemporary music for

Rite II. We created beautiful worship

together and I always knew I had his

support in trying new things with the

music. When Stan Doyle passed

away in November of 1989, Father

Rasnick asked me to take over. He

knew that after so many years of as-

sisting Stan that I was very familiar

with Trinity’s style of worship as well

as with the clergy, choir and parish-

ioners. With less than a month to pre-

pare for Christmas Eve services, I felt

so much support from the clergy,

choir and parishioners, that I knew

somehow it would all come together,

and it did. Shortly after the holidays

Father Rasnick announced to the con-

gregation that he had hired a new

organist/choirmaster, and reintro-

duced me! The standing ovation that

the congregation gave me told me

that they had confidence in me and

helped to relieve my own feelings of

self-doubt at being able to “fill Stan’s

shoes”! I knew that was impossible,

but I also knew that I had the support

of Father Rasnick, the staff, choir, and

the congregation.

Organist/Choirmaster

musichtc@aol.com

Through the years we have shared in the lives of many

wonderful clergy, choir members, staff members and their fami-

lies. I personally thank them for the love, support, and kindness

they have shown me.

The Parish Choir, Bell Choir, and Carol Suhr have been

an absolute blessing in my life and the life of Holy Trinity. I want

to thank them for their gift of music and for providing the flowers

on the altar for my celebration, as well as much of the food, orga-

nizing, and preparation for the party. The hours they offer in ser-

vice to the church through their music is astonishing. Beyond

their commitment to the music program, they serve in many ca-

pacities. I don’t think there is a single committee or organization

within our church that does not have at least one choir member

serving. They are not afraid to “roll up their sleeves” and get to

work. Besides that, they are family. They help each other in tough

times and rejoice with each other in wonderful times as well.

Somehow this is beginning to feel like an Academy

Award acceptance speech! But I can’t leave the platform without

thanking my parents and family for the love, acceptance and

most of all for the example they have shown me.

I would like to thank all those who helped to make the

celebration of my 30 years at Holy Trinity so wonderful. Marilyn

VanDerlofske, Sheila and Julian Davies, Carolyn and Bernie

McCann, Nell Collins, Jim Richardson and Janet Donnelly

worked countless hours preparing for the party under quite ad-

verse conditions. The scrapbook that Marilyn assembled with all

of the beautiful letters from parishioners is fantastic!

Thank you for the wonderful words of encouragement in

those letters. Many others helped in the kitchen and with clean-up

after the party. At the risk of missing someone, I will just say

thank you to all who helped! Since we did not have the use of the

Parish Hall, the committee decided to use the Court Yard and

knew that they would have to work around the unpredictable

weather of late September in South Florida. The Court Yard

looked beautiful on Saturday, September 29th with tents and pot-

ted plants, table covers and decorations… and then the wind and

rain started!!! In spite of the less than accommodating weather,

everything went very nicely. Thank you for preparing the deli-

cious food that was enjoyed by all. I was so pleased to see so

many familiar faces as well as friends who have not been with us

for a while. Several people came from out of town, including my

mom, Janet Graham, from Maryland; former choir members Bon-

nie Alborano, from Ocala, Peter Berg, Tequesta; and Shellie Keit,

Rome, Georgia. Ann Greiser attended with her daughter, Suz-

anne Greiser Matuella and her daughter, (my God-daughter)

Hope, son Joe Joe, and Jenny Greiser Jones’ daughter Brittany.

Willow Woodard Morzella, our parish receptionist for many

years, attended with her daughter Christina. I was so pleased that

Bishop Frade and his wife, Diana were able to attend.

As I wrap this up, I want to thank Father Rasnick, Father

Perry, Father Tucker, Rev. Nancy, Hap, Father Sherk, the choirs

and staff for all that they have done and continue to do in my life

and in the life of our parish. We are so blessed to have you!

Wow! I can’t believe it

has been 30 years!

I think of the many joyous services we have

experienced through the years: Christmases, Easters,

confirmations, weddings, baptisms, Mardi Gras, Time

and Talent, Folk Masses, Songs of the Seasons, Fourth

of July celebrations, Trinitones events, and cantatas. I

remember the children, many of whom are now mar-

ried, some with children of their own, who played in

our holiday orchestras and Palm Sunday processions

and sang in our children’s choirs. Gathering children

by the fireplace in the Parish Hall. Singing songs ac-

companied by the guitar, while elderly church mem-

bers congregated to listen, amused by watching the

children rehearse the hand movements and lyrics. Joy-

ous laughter! Christmas pageants! Seeing the glow on

the faces of proud parents of twins, not even an hour

old! Watching the youth come together at a Confirma-

tion service to lay hands on a beloved friend. I remem-

ber racing to tell a bride, already on the arm of her fa-

ther and ready to process down the aisle, that the organ

had died. She graciously smiled and said the piano

would be just fine. Feeling a huge sense of relief when

a choir member got clear test results from their doctor.

I reflect on the sad, difficult and trying times

we have shared. The losses of loved ones. Sitting, hold-

ing the hand of a person in the hospital, sensing that

the end was eminent, but knowing that a new begin-

ning was on the brink. Singing as a precious family

member slipped away. Knowing that no spoken words

could comfort as much as the beautiful strains of

“Amazing Grace”. Hearing the family hum along

through their tears and sorrow. Trying to get through

“The Lord’s Prayer” without faltering as a parish-

ioner’s earthly life was celebrated by a handful of octo-

genarian contemporaries. People moving away. Chil-

dren growing up and going off to college to discover

new worlds. Family challenges that resulted in mem-

bers no longer attending. Divorce, death, illness, isola-

tion. Hurricanes! Disasters. I will never forget the

way the congregation came together on September 11th,

2001 to offer comfort and healing, not just to our pa-

rishioners, but to the community as well. The service

we had helped many people cope in the wake of na-

tional tragedy. I think of the many people who have

come and gone in the life of our church in the past 30

years. So many who were here when I arrived are still

worshipping with the new people who seem to arrive

weekly! Hallelujah!!!

As I told the congregation on September

30th, I have saved many of the beautiful cards, notes,

and photographs you have sent me through the

years. I have one birthday card that an elderly pa-

rishioner sent to me that definitely sums it all up.

She said, “People come and go in our lives. People

change. The more you get to know some people,

the less you want to be around them. I have known

you for a long time, and I still like you! And that’s

doing good kid!”

So… to our wonderful parishioners, “I’ve

known you for 30 years, and I still like you!!! And

that’s doing good!”

What about the rude person in line, the harassed grocery store clerk?

We know who they are for each of us. What if at each encounter, we

Rediscover Spirituality by “Letting Go”

By Elizabeth Rogers Brown

Director of Christian Education

Children at play have much to teach us. As I was watching our young children

enjoying our church playground this became very clear to me. As adults we relish con-

trolling our lives. We make lists; I make them by the hour! We set goals. We have agen-

das. We rush though our days attempting to manipulate and manage their outcome.

We fear losing control. We plan how to experience God because we want to have

a connection with the divine. We try hard to achieve this by organizing and structuring

the experience. It doesn’t work that way as hard as we may attempt.

Watch children at play. Why do children spin around and around until they get

so dizzy they fall down? Why do they seem to get so much joy from simple games of pin

the tail on the don- key or Ring-Around-the –Rosie? Why is this disori-

ented state so much fun for children to

seek?

Brain scientist Dr. Andrew New-

berg in his book Why God Won’t Go Away

explained it this way: With increasing re-

petitive activity the orientation association

area of the brain becomes differentiated.

The result of this differentiation is a softer,

less precise definition of the boundaries of

self, which opens the door to a unitary

state. In other words, children have found a por-

tal to a realm that transcends the mundane.

Most of the time we experience the world as something we move through, but

from which we are set apart. We live in a world of self-concern that come from our egos.

An activity very different from our normal behavior has the potential of altering

emotions and moods. The separation from the world becomes less and less distinct as we

lose our normal tight control. The boundaries that imprison us soon dissolve.

We diminish the self-the ego. We just let go. This surrender reminds us that the

spiritual life is bigger than we are. Surrender is falling backward and letting the universe

catch us.

Children surrender to this natural rhythm of delight all the time. It frees them for

new delights and greater perceptions. We can learn from the children to have a transcen-

dent experience of God, we need to escape the limiting boundaries of the self and bypass

the critical mind. Somehow we need to break through our need to control to an attitude

of complete surrendering of self.

How can the educational offerings at Holy Trinity help adults let go of that need

to control? Perhaps we need to take a hard look at the content of the adult educational

offerings. Do we offer a healthy balance of programs aimed at the intellect and the heart?

Do we offer programs and activities that help people find spiritual meaning in their

lives?

In Matthew 18:1-5, Jesus said we must become like children. Try to let go and

through surrender you may become more childlike and open to the wonder and joy of

the moment. As we seek to learn, we watch children at play.

In His name,

Elizabeth

A Reminder forAcolytes

Acolytes should dress appropriately and re-

spectively for church. Please remember that

when acolytes are serving at the altar, they are

seen by the congregation and their dress should

not detract from the service. Since the most visi-

ble part of their dress is shoes, please do not

wear flip-flops, crocs or other casual wear. If

sneakers must be worn, they should be clean

and in good condition. Boys should always

wear socks. All acolytes are asked to pick a robe

that is long enough - robe hems should be 2 to 4

inches above the floor. Girls are asked not to

treat their robe as a dress or skirt. Boys are

asked to wear long pants. If you are unable to

serve, please try and find a replacement or call

Jeff Lewis at 642-8288 if you are unable to do so.

Almighty God, we commend to your gracious

care and keeping all the men and women of

our armed forces at home and abroad. Defend

them day by day with your heavenly

grace; strengthen them in their trials and

temptations; give them courage to face the

perils which beset them; and grant

them a sense of your abiding presence

wherever they may be;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
