FROM THE DESK OF FR. GALEN

LENT AND BEING A WELCOMING PRIEST

Lent is the 40 days, excluding Sundays, of penitential preparation for Easter in the church year. It began as early as apostolic times as a short period of fasting, one or two days, preceding a fes-tival. Writings of Tertullian, Irenaeus, and Hippolytus witness to a two-day fast in the 3rd century. They referred to Tessarakoste, as the name of Lent occurs in the 5th Council of Nicaea in 325 C. E. The 40 days is suggested by Jesus’ fast in the desert and may have been influenced by the fast prescribed for candidates preparing for baptism.

The three leading themes of Lenten liturgy since ancient times have been baptism, penance, and the passion of Christ. One of the purposes of Lent in the early church was preparing candidates for baptism on Easter night, Holy Saturday. (If you wish to be baptized on Holy Saturday or Easter Day, please let me know.) During this season our lessons will reflect references to water, raising from the dead, and light. In the early church, candidates were taught the Creed and the Lord’s Prayer and instructed in the Gospels.

Thank you for allowing me to share a brief bit of church history and one purpose of Lent. Now you may be asking, ‘How do I observe a holy Lent?’

This is certainly your choice. Please consider doing more than giving up chocolate, coffee, or dieting. Instead prayerfully consider how you may grow in relationship with the Trinity and your neighbors. It’s in the building of relationships in the vine that produces fruit. This came clearer to me while reading Radical Welcome by Stephanie Spellers. One small section of this book is the foundation of my personal Lenten plan this year. My goal is to be a welcoming priest, focusing on hospitality, con-nection, being centered, and being open to conversation.

Hospitality is about being gracious and warm to those around me, especially those whom I’ll call others. (I’m using others as shorthand to describe anyone who would not typically be part of our network of relationships; in the time of Jesus, learned rabbis didn’t hang out with ragged beggars, and in 2016, it’s hard to imagine a CEO sitting on a park bench having a friendly conversation with a homeless person.) Jesus embraced and lived this type of hospitality by eating, drinking, and convers-ing with the disciples and the others. This engagement let those around him see and experience one another as God’s children, and as we read the Gospels today we too can become participants.

Connection is about being linked to our neighbors and our neighborhood. I’ve done that in my residential neighborhood, but I still need to find ways to better connect to those within 3 miles of our church. There’s a sincere desire that runs in my veins to better live this out in the Northland.

Being centered is having a clear, compelling sense of Christian identity. It’s a self-understanding that’s based in part on our cultural and denominational heritage while primarily and clearly being faithful to the call of living out God’s dream of ‘Kingdom’ through scripture, tradition, and reason and their context.

LENT AND BEING A WELCOMING PRIEST (continued)

Being open to conversation is about listening carefully to, making room for, sharing with, and learn-ing from those around me. It’s also being attentive to God’s Spirit and using the gifts of the Spirit to be a transformational ally to members of our faith community and others, finding out what is inside and what they sense God is calling out of them for the good of the community.

What I ask of each of you is prayers for me during this season of Lent to stay true to my stated Lenten discipline, to faithfully serve each of you, neighbors, and others through our Lord, Jesus Christ.

He has the right to criticize, who has the heart to help..

BECOMING VESSELS OF GOD’S LOVE

by Senior Warden Analee Lanio

Last Sunday our first hymn at communion was “We all are one in mission” from our Wonder, Love and Praise hymnal. Verses 1, 2 and 4 follow:

“We all are one in mission, we all are one in call, our varied gifts united by Christ, the Lord of all. A single, great commission compels us from above to plan and work together that all may know Christ’s love. We all are called for service to witness in God’s name. Our minis-tries are different, our purpose is the same: to touch the lives of others by God’s surprising grace, so people of all nations may feel God’s warm embrace. Now let us be united and let our song be heard. Now let us be a vessel for God’s redeeming Word. We all are one in mission, we all are one in call. Our varied gifts united by Christ, the lord of all.” (Words by Rusty Edwards)

Sunday was the annual meeting and we elected new vestry members. After the annual meeting there was a short vestry meeting and I was announced as the Senior Warden.

My hope and prayer for 2016 is that we will all be a vessel for God’s love. We have a wonderful talented congregation. This hymn was a perfect selection for last Sunday. By the time you read this newsletter our vestry will have met on Friday night, January 22 and Saturday, Jan-uary 23. We will be calling on all of you to use your varied gifts.

I am honored to be your Senior Warden this year and hope to work with each and every one of you. If you would like to discuss anything during this year, my email is analeelanio@yahoo.com and my phone number is 816-835-7447. Peace be with all of you this wonderful year of our Lord.

OUTREACH

BACKPACK SHEPHERDS FEBRUARY OUTREACH RECIPIENT

The Backpack Shepherds program helps feed some Eastgate Middle School children & their families, as well as Oakwood Manor and Lakewood Elementary children. These families have been identified by school counselors to be in need. A variety of food to provide good nutrition to the students & their families is packed in backpacks and taken to the schools each week. A large quantity is purchased from Harvesters by our volunteer shoppers at a greatly reduced cost. Donations of bulk quantities of food in non-glass con-tainers are always needed. There are opportunities for you to be a packer, shopper, pick-up or delivery of backpacks person, or a stocker. Packing is done by teams in the early evening on Wednesday or on one Thursday afternoon each month during the school year. To volunteer or for more information contact Dave Talbot. Please note on your check memo line “Backpack Program”.

THANK YOU, DEAR PEOPLE OF GOOD SHEPHERD

Thanks to all the parishioners who contributed to the Northland Shepherd's Center JOY Bags project this year. Almost $500.00 was contributed, which is a significant amount of the overall cost.

It is so gratifying to know how supportive our church is of worthy causes. The clients who received the bags of groceries & other things appreciate them, enjoy them, and feel joy in knowing there are people who care about them.

BABY AND TODDLER CLOTHING NEEDED

Infant through size 5 Toddler clothes are being collected at Church of the Redeemer for children. Anything used for babies: diapers, wipes, carseats, etc. is needed also. If you have such items please bring them to church, or directly to Redeemer. If we have enough response it would be nice if we had an individual willing to take the responsibility of collecting & delivering the items. Any volunteers? Call Nancy Bash @ 453-5719.

OUTREACH NEEDS YOU!

The Outreach Committee meets the second Monday of each even-numbered month at 7 PM. This month’s meeting is on February 8. We work with Bethel UCC in the Backpack Shepherds program, which is housed at Good Shepherd. Our Outreach Garden is located just past the parking lot, and before you know it spring will be here and the volunteers will be out preparing it for planting. In addition, volunteers from Good Shepherd help out at Episcopal Community Services, Northland Assistance Center, Shepherd’s Center of the Northland, and the Clay County Clothes Closet. These are all great opportunities to get involved and make a difference in someone’s life!

Tom Kincaid chairs the committee and will be happy to tell you more. You’re also welcome to attend the February 8 meeting.

ST. FRANCIS MINISTRY—REACHING OUT TO ANIMALS

Hi, everyone. There's a new ministry here at Good Shepherd that has been missing—the St. Francis Ministry. This idea was born out of a visit by Fr. Galen to the "Friends of the Parkville Animal Shelter (FOPAS)" when he did a special animal blessing last October for all the homeless dogs and cats residing there. Knowing how important His animal children are to God, knowing how many of us love our pets, and realizing how much help is needed to care for homeless, abused and neglected animals, it seemed that this ministry would be an important addition to this church.

Right now we're trying to figure out how this can be put into action. Anyone who is interested in being a part of it or simply giving some suggestions is encouraged to let Fr. Galen or me know. We DO know that we'll be posting special events going on in this area, and also important info that might help all of us "pet parents" care for our furry kids. Also, we'd like to let everyone about opportunities to volunteer at shelters and rescue groups.

A simple visit to a shelter, even a wonderful one like the Friends in Parkville, makes one realize how lucky our own pets are and how much help is needed by the homeless ones. For example, this shelter recently had a dog brought to them who was almost blind, alone and wandering in rural Platte County. Imagine how scary that would be. Keller needed help, real help, and they were able to call on the community to help finance a huge vet bill to have surgery done on her eyes so she could actually see. Donations were made, small ones that people could afford, but all those small ones added up to her being able to finally see, and play and feel safe and find that forever home. I don't know about you, but to me that is doing God's work—helping those innocent animals who have no voice. So be on the lookout for messages from the St Francis Ministry and please, if you'd like to be a part of it, just let Fr. Galen or me know. The animals will thank you for it.

"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their

fellow man." -- St. Francis of Assisi
