HOLY TRINITY EPISCOPAL CHURCH

Gainesville, Florida, Sunday, September 29, 12 noon. Holy Trinity Episcopal

Church and Day School held a parish-school wide planting day for a new eco-

friendly children’s garden and play yard, which will be used to teach children

and teenagers about the importance of being good stewards of God’s creation.

The garden features predominantly na-

tive plants, butterfly host and pollina-

tor plants, biblical herbs, and two olive

trees. The play area will encourage

children to use their imagination as the

play structure, and it is covered in turf

in Episcopal Churches spear-headed by

the Dean of Virginia Theological Semi-

nary in Alexandria, Virginia (the alma

mater of Holy Trinity’s rector, The Rev.

J. Fletcher Montgomery). With nearly

7,000 Episcopal parishes nationwide,

Holy Trinity hopes to serve as a re-

source parish for other churches that

would like to embrace an eco-friendly

use of their church properties.

From the Rector

Dear Friends at Holy Trinity,

We find ourselves in the midst of another busy fall season: Family Ministries, and

the completion of our beautiful Children’s Play / Adult Reception Garden; an

episcopal visitation with Bishop Dorsey Henderson; an All Saints’ Sunday perfor-

mance of the Mozart Requiem; the annual Bazaar and all that accompanies it; and

our anticipation of Advent and Christmas observances and celebrations. What a

blessing to belong to such a large and active parish — with lots to do, lots to give,

and lots to share.

We celebrate the end of our Stewardship Season on the 10th of November, keep-

ing in mind it’s really always Stewardship Season year-round. Thank you for

sending in your pledge card so the the Finance Committee and Vestry can make a faithful budget in the

weeks ahead — one which will enable us to follow God’s lead in the many avenues of ministries he calls us

to join and accomplish. If you have yet to make a pledge of time, talent, and treasure towards our 2020

ministries, please do so as soon as possible — and feel free to call me if you have any questions.

We have welcomed over 50 new comers and families over the past year. Some have moved their letters of

membership to Holy Trinity, some are long-term visitors, and others would like to affiliate and worship

with us, but have membership commitments elsewhere. All are welcome — and I hope longer-term mem-

bers will look around at worship and at coffee hour, identify unfamiliar faces, and go introduce yourself.

This is how we build and maintain community, when we learn a name and put a face with it. This is the

joyful duty of every member, and I call us all to this ministry of hospitality and gracious welcome.

…that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the

world may believe that you have sent me. [John 17.21]

May we be one, that the world may believe; and may God bless you all in every way.

J. Fletcher Montgomery, Rector

From the Associate Priest The rector of my childhood church in New England was an English clergyman. I

remember him regaling the parish with stories about a country parson tending to his

flock with great care and humility, much like the work of George Herbert (1593-

1633). The tale was chastened by the privation its characters faced during, and in the

aftermath of, WWII. The story was always capped off by a redeeming reminder in

which the Church was upheld as a repository of all that was needed for the flourish-

ing of the community. His stories spoke of a parish as a territorial designation

charged with safeguarding the welfare of its inhabitants without regard for member-

ship or belief of those it served. The parish church was the protagonist of the story,

as it was the medium that ensured that the gospel was received, preserved, and trans-

mitted with the surety of a clear conscience. Many of the references were lost on us

postindustrial folk, but the stonewalls encompassing the Church provided a ready

reminder of a time, history, and story in which we had a small part to play.

New England’s stonewalls were created as farmers tilled the soil to expose the rocky terrain beneath the sur-

face. Bringing the stones to the tree line was an annual practice that formed territorial markers, which

served to stabilize the soil and protect the farmer’s flock. Thomas Bray (1656-1730), an English clergyman

and abolitionist, once warned of the danger of having far-flung parishes disconnected from the supervision

of a bishop, as this would inevitably expose a flock to the dangers of the wilderness. My childhood priest

would tell everyone that the parishes of a diocese ought to function like stonewalls in terms of providing

stability and safety in the wilderness. He wished to encourage us to approach the shifting soils of late-

modernity with the right tools to extract the stones preventing the harvest and make use of each one to a

proper end. These stories informed our response and approach to mending the privation in our midst. If we

are to uphold the Church as a protagonist in Gainesville, we ought to delve into the history of our tale.

Each timeframe in the history of the Church upheld that the unity to which Christ calls us is a duty and

sought to be faithful to this charge. The high churchman John Henry Newman (1801-1890) was lead to ex-

press this by saying: “we do not look towards Rome believing that its communion is infallible, but that un-

ion is a duty.” Shortly thereafter, the critically orthodox churchmen Charles Gore (1853-1932) held that any

progress in theology is achieved by reverting to the “original and perfect type” of Jesus Christ. While Wil-

liam Temple (1881-1944) maintained that registering Christ’s achievement was all that was needed to ex-

hibit unity, as we become closer to Christ we will inevitably become closer to one another. Each era had

faithful men and women who sought to guide the Church to a fitting relationship with the times, while occa-

sionally leading her astray.

It is in this spirit of striving for unity that I would draw your attention to what is happening within the An-

glican Communion of Churches of which we are a part. This coming year, in August of 2020, the Lambeth

Conference will take place. This conference is a decennial assembly of bishops of the Anglican Communion

convened by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The contemporary Anglican Communion is an increasingly

comprehensive entity to the liking of some and the dismay of many. The level of comprehension we have is

derived from conflict, colonialism, and the schismatic bent of prior centuries, which betokened a move to

the haphazard union we have today. Staunch uniformity always seems to bring those who fall outside the

bounds of the normative standards to feel a sense of displacement. This staunchness has, at times, brought

people to leave Anglicanism and find their own way into new expressions of Christian faith carrying what

they perceived as useful along the way. All the while, we continue to call them home, as we are called home

to the greater unity of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.

The Brotherhood of St. Andrew

The Holy Trinity Church Picnic sponsored by the Brotherhood of St. Andrew was

held on September 14 at Rick Winkler’s lovely home on Lake Lilly, located between Mel-

rose and Keystone Heights. It was a beautiful afternoon to be outside and to share food, fel-

lowship and fun with our church family. It was a potluck lunch so folks brought their favor-

ite dishes and beverages. Rick made an awesome pulled pork and provided fried chicken

from one of the local establishments. There were a lot of desserts and I can attest they were great (I tried all

of them)!

Tables were set up on the lawn under the large oak trees and the breeze kept us cool and kept the bugs

away. It was a multigenerational affair ranging from Rick’s 5 month old granddaughter to some of the sen-

ior members of our congregation. Between 30 and 40 people attended.

After lunch there were pontoon boat rides around the lake and a guided tour of Tony Taylor’s home across

the lake. Rick said we had to see it because Fall had exploded inside Tony’s house with all his tasteful inte-

rior Fall decorations. We continued the cruise around the lake and learned about the area history. Thanks

again to Rick and Tony for their hospitality!

Men’s Breakfast

The Brotherhood of St. Andrew would like to invite all the men of the church to the Men’s Breakfast Saturday

November 9th at 8:30am. We will be meeting in the Page Parish Hall. Come and enjoy breakfast on us! After

breakfast and a brief bible lesson we will be discussing our Holiday Bazaar duties as we are again needed to

help our sisters in St. Elisabeth’s Circle with the Bazaar. This is our primary fundraiser for the year so please

join with us in helping make this another amazing event at Holy Trinity.

Please RSVP to Leo Dugger, 375-6889, e-mail- [email protected] or call the church office by

November 6th.

From the Director of Family Ministries

I am so excited about our new Holy Trinity Children’s Play-Garden! It is a tremen-

dous tool for ministry and especially for Holy Trinity’s Family Ministries. The gar-

den is a beautiful space that will transport children and youth out of their every-day

environment and into a fresh, pallet-cleansing, space where they can learn about the

gospel in new and engaging ways.

Our children’s ministry’s first adventure in the garden will be an exploration of the

creation account in Genesis. With the use of “Story-Makers”’ creation curriculum,

children will learn about creation through stories, crafts, and a hands-on experience

with God’s creation through the garden itself.

The garden also provides an amazing space for the Holy Trinity Youth Group. As we enter fall, some of our

youth group meetings will be moved to the garden as we make pizzas in our Youth Group’s new pizza ov-

en, sit around the fire-pit in the evenings, and maybe even get some dirt under our fingernails as we tend to

the garden as a group.

The thing that I may be most excited about, is the intergenerational aspect of this garden. This is a space

that everyone can enjoy. My prayer is that it becomes a hub for intergenerational community-building cen-

tered around the Gospel that will strengthen Holy Trinity and empower us to live in the way of Christ.

Peace,

Jaxon Crews

Director of Family Ministries

The Giving Tree for the Holidays This year again the Board of Trustees of the Holy Trinity Episcopal School will coordinate the Giving Tree

for children for the Holidays.

Once again, Holy Trinity will brighten the Holidays of many youngsters and families by purchasing items

for them for Christmas.

We will be assisting children from our own church family, our Holy Trinity Episcopal School of Gaines-

ville, Inc., HIV/Aids children and families from Peaceful Paths.

The trees will be up in the back of the church and in Page Parish Hall beginning November 3rd through No-

vember 17th. Select an ornament and record your name next to the child’s number you selected. Do your

shopping and return your gifts along with the ornament in a large holiday bag to the church office by No-

vember 24th. On December 8th, watch the children from our church carry the bags to the altar to be

blessed before they are delivered to the families on December 9th.

Last year, thanks to the generosity of parishioners, we were able to help over 125 children. We are hoping

with your help to do the same again this year. Help us brighten the holiday for so many children that

wouldn’t otherwise have those special surprises.

A Service of

COMPLINE

Sunday, November 17 at six o’clock in the evening

sung by the Gentlemen of the Choir

The Office of Compline (Night Prayer) is the final service of the day, placing its em-

phasis on spiritual peace. The half-hour liturgy consists of plainsong chant and an-

thems, sung by candlelight, presented by members of the Holy Trinity Choir. If you

have not experienced this beautiful and peaceful service, plan to attend and invite some

friends.


The Labyrinth Walk The Holy Trinity Labyrinth Guild is pleased to announce that our Labyrinth

will be available to walk the Dec.6, 2019 4-8pm. We invite everyone to come

and walk with us on the first Friday of the Advent season. The labyrinth will

be staged in the Page Parish Hall for your use as a walking meditation, a place

of prayer, to focus your thoughts and feelings, to find answers or just unwind

from the busyness of life.

Please join us! Questions? Call Leo Dugger 375-6889

From the Shop: Where Shopping Is a Pleasure

The Holiday Bazaar

Friday, November 22 7p.m.—9p.m. (Grand Opening)

Saturday, November 23 9a.m.—3p.m

Sunday, November 24 9a.m.—2p.m.

Holiday shopping doesn’t have to mean wandering through crowds in a depart-

ment store searching for that perfect gift or that once in a lifetime bargain. No!

Trade it in for an evening with the familiar faces of friends. A room dressed in

holiday lights and filled with the sounds of Christmas. It’s our annual celebration,

a gala that’s become a city event. An old fashioned bazaar where everyone enjoys

a glass of wine and culinary delights. Where you can explore a maze, a gallery of

gifts. Meticulously decorated trees, handmade jewelry, gingerbread and candies, a

table full of cheap antiques and bric-a-brac, hand painted baubles, one of a kind

wreaths, nativities, Santas galore, dolls and doll houses, Raggedy Ann and Andy, Ellie Blair paintings, and

just about everything you can imagine or want. It’s truly a shopper’s delight.

The gift you buy will be the gift that keeps on giving. All the proceeds go to the less fortunate.

See you there and thank you for your support.


A Cabaret SOIREE!

This season's Cabaret SOIREE! hosted 200 guests in the Parish

Hall. Live entertainment by John Lowe and friends started the

afternoon off, followed by dinner (Pearl BBQ from Micanopy),

then more entertainment. This annual event was presented free of

charge, with donations accepted to cover the cost of food.


2019 Fall—Keeping Up With a Busy Cuba Ministry A Gainesville Area Dinner Meeting on August 12 at Marilyn’s home turned out

to be a clergy boost and blessing for our Cuba Companionship Ministry in both

cluster areas of north central Florida and the central Ciego area of Cuba. We were

pleased to host the following Episcopal priests in the Gainesville area whose churches partner with a Cuban church in the central area of Cuba: The Rev. Diane

Reeves of St. Andrews-Interlachen/Santa Maria-Perea; The Rev. Les Singleton of

Church of the Mediator-Micanopy/San Lucas-Ciego de Avila; and of course, our clergy from Holy Trinity, The Reverends Robert Osborne and Fletcher Montgom-

ery with Sarah were there to share our Cuba ministry concerns.

At the dinner meeting, we also celebrated the 98th birthday of Cuban-born MIT-engineer Manuel Cadenas, father of

our ministry volunteer Hilda Miller, who brought the birthday cupcakes and donated several new copies of her fa-

ther’s book “Memories of a Journey through Time” for donation proceeds to go to the Cuba Ministry.

Will Irby of St. Alban’s-Chiefland could not make it to our August 12

meeting, but did announce and invite us to their August 25 Sunday service

when Cuban priests Cristina Alvarez and Adreano Fuentes would be celebrat-

ing the Eucharist at St. Alban’s. Adreano and his wife Yuly reside in Morón, Ciego de Avila, Cuba, where he is the resident intern for Santísima Trinidad,

45 minutes from our own San Juan Bautista. Ben and Dot Hill and Marilyn

Peterson visited with them at St. Alban’s and look forward to continued rela-

tionship building with them on the HT trip to Cuba in December.

September 22: The HT Spotlight shined upon the Cuba Companionship

Ministry this year in a special way. We featured a book

signing by the author Manuel Cadenas, who graciously donated $123 from the Sunday sales of his book to the Holy Trinity Cuba Ministry. We set the coffee hour tables with guava puff pas-

tries and other taste treats and gained a few new volunteers to the Ministry. And then we were

pleasantly surprised with a meet-and-greet visit from the Rt. Rev. Dr. Griselda Delgado, Bishop

of Cuba, who was just returning from her first meeting with the Episcopal House of Bishops in Minneapolis while on her way home to Havana. MANY THANKS AND KUDOS to Joyce Lot-

tinville and Julie Lunardo for delivering the Spotlight tributes to our ministry from the Lectern

at the 8:00 AM and 10:30 AM services, respectively, and to Gam, Carlos, Julie, Leilani, Clau-

dia, and Lourdes for their interpreting talents in making the Bishop feel right at home.

Holy Trinity’s Mission Travelers to Cuba: We are thrilled to reveal that Coordinator Marilyn Peterson will soon

be escorting return travelers Ben Hill and Kim Ahrens to Cuba and will introduce Kim’s brother Scot Iseman and

our recently ordained and newlywed priests Robert Osborne and Caroline Miller to the Cuban Companionship ad-

venture. Thank you, Holy Trinity, for making this exquisite wedding gift-trip possible: American clergy meeting and worshipping with Cuban clergy in the mingle of their respective parishioners, Florida-Cuban Companionship at its

highest level, Hallelujah! And, get this, Rev. Caroline (Grace EC, Ocala) speaks Spanish!

And we welcome another honor in our religious visa group: Mr. Sean O’Donnell, a Skinner organ repair specialist of

international repute, will fly with us on December 3 from Tampa and stay in Havana to repair the Episcopal Cathe-dral’s 1928 Skinner Organ, that has remained silent and song-less since 1991. We will all spend the first few days in

Havana, Matanzas and perhaps Varadero and then will work our way toward Florencia to install the water purification

system at the Episcopal Church of San Juan Bautista. We plan to worship together with the Episcopal congregations

in both Florencia and Perea and fly home from Santa Clara on Monday, December 9, 2019.

The travel group will need additional used suitcases that can carry up to 50 lbs. of goods and that can be left in Cuba.

Besides the water purification system equipment and filters, we plan to bring to San Juan Bautista and/or to the Dio-

cese of Cuba other charitable items: Choir robes, Spanish Prayer Books, Bibles, perhaps another inflatable bed or

two, led light bulbs, packages of La Llave coffee for hand-out gifts to the Cubans, etc. We will send out a congrega-

tional eblast “call-to-y’all” for help in donating some extra suitcases for this trip. (Continues on page 11)
