“I say to you all: Keep awake”ne of the great gifts of the Church is the observance of the Church Year. Our move-ment from season to season is more than just marking time and changing colors of
altar linens. From Advent, to Epiphany, to Lent, to Easter, to Pentecost, our present day lives are brought into the salvation history of the work of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our hours, days, weeks, and months are made sacred. Generally our Church year seasons are measured in weeks, but during Holy Week we are invited to slow down even more and focus on the days and hours of Christ’s life. In Mark’s Gospel, shortly before his death, Jesus tells his disciples “Beware, keep alert, for you do not know when the time will come...And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake.” (Mk. 13:33,37) The disciples’ response to this was to fall asleep as Jesus prayed in the garden in Gethsemane. As Jesus agonized over his impending death, the disciples could not stay awake to pray. When Jesus confronted them, he said “Could you not keep awake one hour?” (Mk. 14:37) As a way of taking part in those last hours of Jesus’ earthly ministry, and to repent of the disciples’ failure to keep awake, the Church at times has Kept the Watch with Christ from the evening of Maundy Thursday to the morning of Good Friday. This Holy Week, Canterbury Chapel invites you to Keep the Watch. Beginning at 9 p.m. on Maundy Thursday, April 21st, participants will gather and pray and share quiet reflec-tion before the consecrated Bread and Wine, the body and Blood of Christ, in the Chapel. The watch will conclude at 11 a.m. on Good Friday, April 22nd. A sign up sheet will soon be available with 2 to 3 spaces available for each hour. If you would like more information, please contact Kelley Hudlow at [email protected]. KH

ben’s corner ~ Report from our Senior Warden
s I write this on the Vernal Equinox and the second Sunday in Lent, I bring you greet-
ings and prayers that our Lenten observance will draw us closer to our Lord and to each other. I have always considered that Canterbury was my fam-ily and that feeling has been enhanced during the past several weeks. Many Canterburians have been supportive to me during my mother’s illness and death. It was especially meaningful for me to have her memorial service at Canterbury. Thanks to all of you for your concern, prayers, shared meals and just being there for me. I love all of you. Just a word regarding our Junior Warden, Elizabeth Kent. In her inimitable and organized way, she is making noticeable progress in getting the whole property and grounds cleaner and more beautiful. She will continue to need volunteers to help accomplish these tasks. --Ben Porter, Senior Warden

Dear Canterburywish that Christ’s last days, his last breath on the cross, and his most-mysterious resur-rection will change the world. I wish for them to change me, more and more. I wish for
the Lord’s death and resurrection to change Canterbury, more and more, until we are full of self-sacrifice and filled-to-overflowing with the love that’s stronger than death. We believe in death, but resurrection is more real. Resurrection breaks the rules; it makes new ones—for example, Death becomes a gardener (as the old image has it). When we’re buried, like a seed, life changes; it does not end: a new creation springs up. Easter releases this power into the world, and we “don’t know where it comes from, or where it goes.” The good news in this is that it is God’s active love at work in the world, all over the world—and that it always comes our way. God’s love will find us wherever we are, and will blow the breath of life into us. When we are dust buried in the ground, God will find us; God will love us back into life. Our life will be new, and it will surprise us. We will still be ourselves, but healed in every way imaginable. Resurrection is the adventure we’re on. This is the adventure of Holy Week and Easter: death into resurrection!As T.S. Eliot urges in the Four Quartets, “Not fare well,/ but fare forward, voyagers!” May your Holy Week and Easter season be full of surprise and full of blessing,
I

FILM SCREEnInG: at tHE DEatH HOUSE DOOROn Tuesday, April 19th, at 7 p.m., Canterbury Chapel will host a screening of the docu-mentary At the death House door. We will gather in the Student Center to watch the film, which will be followed by discussion. At the Death House Door is a personal intimate look at the death penalty in the state of Texas through the eyes of Pastor Carroll Pickett, who served 15 years as the death house chaplain to the infamous “Walls” prison unit in Huntsville. During Pickett’s remarkable career journey, he presided over 95 executions, including the world’s first lethal injec-tion. After each execution, Pickett recorded an audiotape account of his trip to the death chamber. The film also focuses on the story of Carlos De Luna, a convict Pickett counseled and whose execution troubled Pickett more than any other. He firmly believed De Luna was innocent, and the film tracks the investigative efforts of a team of Chicago Tribune report-ers who have turned up evidence that strongly suggests he was. (film description taken from ifc.com) If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact Kelley Hudlow at [email protected]. KH

FIRE HORSE POttERy at tHE GaLLERy IN aPRIL
The Gallery at Canterbury will host Kerry Kennedy, an ac-complished local ceramacist, who will be exhibiting her work here in April. Kerry’s studio is the Fire Horse Pottery and is
located in Northport at the Kentuck Art Center. To see her work: http://www.firehorsepot-tery.com/. Kerry says of her work in clay, “I enjoy all forms of art, but love pottery most of all. I’ve been producing ceramics since 1996, and specializing in medieval and renaissance reproduc-tions directed toward the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) for the last nine years. I travel to sell my pottery in the SCA, but the studio in Northport focuses on more general ceramics, including some classes.” The reception for Kerry Kennedy is set for Wednesday, April 6, from 5 to 7 p.m., in the Canterbury Student Center. our Hands & Feet on ua campus
