A Thought from the Rector “The peace of God, which passes all understanding…” What do typical promises of peace look like? I remember growing up in a house where I constantly seemed to be at odds with my mother about whether or not I had written certain thank-you notes. In her mind, we would have peace in our house only after the overdue notes had been sent off in the post. And once the belated note was in the mail, then peace returned. But this approach to peace brought with it a scenario that I always dreaded, that of “the next thank-you note.” I’ve come to see much of life’s peace through the same lens. The dishes are clean, but the machine needs to be emptied. And then it quickly fills itself back up and the cycle repeats itself. The moments when all of the dishes are clean and put away are temporary. Most of the avenues to peace that we pursue operate similarly. We get hungry, so we fill up, but the sated feeling does not last, no matter how much we eat. We buy the things we want, only to find that we soon want more. The end point in the routine never seems to surface. Peace of this kind is fleeting, even illusory. The Rolling Stones put their finger on it when they sang: “I can’t get no satisfaction.” Of course, we should not stop saying thank-you, and we should not stop eating or doing the dishes, but we can recognize that these necessities will never provide us with a lasting sense of peace. Life just doesn’t work that way. But the Gospel message does. It is good news for this exact reason. You see, unlike the peace of the world, the peace of God lasts. The forgiveness of God has no expiration date. This is a hard thing to wrap our heads around and surpasses understanding. I once received a very generous gift certificate to a high-end department store. The man who gave it to me was a member of my congregation and also the owner of the store. About two weeks after I received it, I went into his store to make use of it. My plan was to overshoot the gift certificate enough to convey appreciation, while also reciprocating support for his shop. When I got to the register, he proceeded to tally up the totals. I put my wallet on the counter and got my card out. But as he turned to face me, he placed the gift-certificate down in front of me and said: “You’re not going to believe this, but I’ve rung everything up, and the total comes to exactly zero.” I was horrified and protested a bit. Then he got serious and said: “I don’t think you understand how this gift certificate works. No matter what you throw at it, the total will always continue to come up reading zero.” In the attempt to buy my way out of debt, I missed the value of the gift, which this generous man took such pleasure in bestowing. Are you wondering if he gave me another comparable gift certificate again for Christmas, the following year? Grace & Peace,

Art Show: Bedford Also, on Saturday at 5 p.m., all are invited to attend a free special event with wine and hors d’oeuvres featuring a lecture with slide show by Samuel Sachs II on the fascinating topic of “Fakes and Forgeries.” Sam Sachs is the former Director of the Detroit Institute of Art and subsequently served as Director of the Frick Collection.

Art Show: Bedford is a juried show that features for sale collector-quality artwork and crafts created by artists from this region. Over forty artists will participate in this year’s show, selling paintings, photographs and sculpture, as well as hand-made jewelry, glass items and pottery. Works run the gamut from contemporary to traditional styles, and there is something to appeal to everyone. The Women of St. Matthew’s donate one hundred percent of the proceeds of the show to support many local nonprofits that benefit needy and marginalized persons throughout Westchester.

Men’s Breakfast Meetings During Lent, the Men of St. Matthew’s will meet weekly on Saturdays at 7:30 a.m. Photo shows Men’s Breakfast members joining in a Christmas Carol Sing-a-long.

MLK Service at Antioch Parishioners of St. Matthew’s, including members of the Confirmation Class and High School Youth Group, were in attendance at the Antioch Baptist’s annual MLK Service on Jan. 19. It was a moving event and helped our youth see the connection between faith and service to the oppressed and marginalized.

Happenings at St. Matthew’s Preschool St. Matthew’s Preschool is focusing on “kindness to others” during the month of February. Valentine’s Day fosters some great discussions with the children on ways to show kindness toward our family and friends. One of the things we talk about is that one single act of kindness throws out tree roots in all directions and the roots grow and make new trees. The children will be filling a bucket full of kindness with random acts of kindness they exhibit in their classroom. I would like to share with you some of the children’s thoughts about kindness and what it means to our three-year-olds. Kindness is when you hold hands, love your friends, color with them, like your friends, use nice words, share a baby horse with your brother, share your toys and say please and thank you! We are also enjoying winter walks in the woods discovering animal sounds. Our Westmoreland Sanctuary Curriculum this month will be focusing on birds. The children have loved learning about reptiles and furry animals in previous classes and, as the photo shows, they get very up close and personal with the little critters. May your Valentine’s Day be filled with love for yourself and others!

Work Continues on our Newburgh Habitat House… On Fri., Dec, 21, Michael Citro, Mary Farley, Roger Vincent and Caroline, John and Lindsay Walker spent a day working at Habitat for Humanity in Newburgh. Working indoors, they learned the finer points of installing vapor barrier to the ceilings and walls. The day was capped off with lunch and a tour of George Washington’s (Newburgh) Headquarters. St. Matthew’s groups will be going up to Newburgh regularly to work on both the St. Matthew’s house and “Johnny’s House.” There is plenty of work available – and it’s fun! If you have an interesting in participating, please contact Mary Farley, Lindsay Keller, Chris Robinson, Bonnie Tisi, or Roger Vincent. We would be happy to answer your questions and to add your name to the volunteer list. We are currently scheduling trips for February and future months.

Bedell Grant Approved for the Church of the Messiah, Rhinebeck In December, the Vestry approved the Bedell Committee’s recommendation to award a significant grant of $235,000 to the Church of the Messiah, Rhinebeck. (Seehttp://www.stmatthewsbedford.org/bedellfund for more information.)This grant is in support of major renovations and repairs to Messiah’s main church building to correct damage from decades of water infiltration via the roof and walls. It includes external and internal masonry work, replacement of slate and membrane roofs, protection of stained-glass windows and various electrical and plumbing work. The Church of the Messiah is located in the center of Rhinebeck on Route 9 and dates back to 1901. One of its main benefactors at the time was Jacob Astor, a prominent member of the Astor family who was born in Rhinebeck and who died in the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Rhinebeck is a thriving community in the Hudson Valley. Within its metropolitan area, there are wealthy weekend residents as well as large areas of rural and urban poverty. The church has a vibrant music ministry that transcends its Sunday services into the broader community, and it has a long tradition of social justice ministry to the disadvantaged. We are pleased to be part of a major project to preserve and extend the impact of our brothers and sisters at The Church of the Messiah under the able leadership of their rector, Rev. Richard McKeon.

St. Matthew’s Services are Streaming… There is nothing like sitting in the quiet beauty of our sanctuary on Sunday amongst family and friends – but there are times when travels, weather, sickness, school, or vacation homes keep us away from St. Matthew’s. When that happens, it is now easy to stay connected to St. Matthew’s through streaming live or on demand for the 10 a.m. Sunday Service. (On special occasions, such as Christmas, all services are being streamed.) This can be accessed by going to St. Matthew’s website www.stmatthewsbedford.org and scrolling down to the box with the dove medallion and words: “Live Stream Service.” Click on the box, and voilà – if you tune in on Sunday at 10 a.m., you can watch the service live. Afterwards, you can watch that and previous services at your leisure. To watch only John’s and Drew’s Sunday sermons, these are contained in our Sermon Archive listed on the website under the Worship and Music tab at the top: http://www.stmatthewsbedford.org/sermons.
