From the Rector... Dear Members of All Saints’ Parish Family

Jesus said,” Have you believed, Thomas, because you have seen me?

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.”

John 20.29 Dear Members of All Saints Parish Family -

That great exclamation of faith “My Lord and My God” burst in to the air of the upper room a week after the resurrection, as Thomas met the risen Lord Jesus. He saw the Lord

and he believed! Sometimes we feel at a disadvantage because we live at a 2000 year distance from the resurrection. However, we are, in our Lord’s own words, ‘Blessed’ for

we, without having seen him in the flesh, as it were, nevertheless believe in him.

At the Great Vigil of Easter, as we reaffirmed our faith in Jesus Christ, we renewed our Baptismal Vows. At that moment we were reminded that’ in the water of Baptism we are

buried with Christ in his death and by it, we share in His resurrection....and we pray that we may continue for ever in the risen life of Jesus Christ our Saviour.’ [BAS 330]. When-

ever we celebrate a baptism at All Saints’, we, the church, encourage the newly baptized to “Let your light so shine before others that they may see your good works and glorify

your Father who is in heaven” [Matthew 5.16]. That is our mission and calling as Chris-

tians - to show the world Jesus.

As we prepare for our upcoming Diocesan Synod in Sault Ste Marie [8-11 May], let us keep in our prayers the Bishop, Clergy and lay delegates of Algoma who come together to

discuss the faith and workings of our church. And let us pray that in all our deliberations and decisions, Jesus may be seen.

Our Gospel reading on the Tuesday of Holy Week began: “There were some Greeks, who

came to worship at the Festival, who came to Philip and said ‘Sir, we wish to see Je-sus’” [John 12.21]. That is still the cry of so many in our broken and hurting world. The

world wants to see Jesus. Here at All Saints’, in our parish purpose, we declare that ‘as worshipers of the living God...we live His word and in love bring people to Jesus”. Our

challenge this Easter Season is this: When the world looks at us, the church, the body of Christ, does it see Jesus?...Does it see Jesus in how we speak, in how we treat one an-

other, in our work, in our worship, and in our everyday life? And, in seeing Him, are they

drawn to Him?

We are blessed because having not seen, we believe. May we be a blessing in sharing our faith that the world

may see Jesus.

Praying for all of us the transforming power, life and light of our Lord’s resurrection in all of our lives,

I remain, Yours, in His love The Venerable Dawn Henderson +

Rector

From the Wardens

"Alleluia! Christ is risen. The Lord has risen indeed." We pray that your journey through Lent has encouraged and deepened your faith and brought you closer to our Lord. We give thanks for the efforts of many in the congregation to bring life and light to the celebration of Holy Week at All Saints'. It is with excitement and anticipation that we observe the construction progress of ASH. As rental of this newly renovated office space is essential, we continue to challenge and encourage everyone to 'spread the word' and make Huntsville aware of this 'soon to be completed' amazing office potential. Recently a congregational meeting was held and Tom Peppiatt, our treasurer, shared and gathered information in response to the Financial and Property component of the Diocese Assessment package from Jay Koyle. We will be reviewing this information and with further input from the congregation plan to present some concrete 'next steps' for moving forward. Your prayers, ideas, involvement and desire are necessary for progress and growth. Please engage with us in this process. It is up to all of us to make this meaningful.

Submitted in prayer and service,

Daily Prayer Booklet

For All Saints’ Members

“Pray without ceasing” 1 Thess. 5:17

As worshippers of the living God we

hear, proclaim and live his Word, and

in love, bring people to Jesus.

(Parish Purpose)

To understand the Bible, says authors and pastors Randy Frazee and

Max Lucado, you need bifocal lenses, because two perspectives are

involved. The Lower Story, our story, is actually many stories of men

and women interacting with God in the daily course of life. The Upper

Story is God's story, the tale of his great, overarching purpose that

fits all the individual stories together like panels in one unified mural.

The Story video curriculum will open your eyes to God's master-plan

unfolding in the lives of the Bible's characters-and in your own life.

Discover the heart of God's Upper Story, and the joy that comes as

you align your story with God's. This study highlights key events and people in Scripture to

provide “the big picture” of God’s story .

Please contact Ven Dawn or the Office for more details . Everyone is invited! And welcome!

Outreach

Thank you to everyone who has picked up a Lenten Loonie-Toonie canister. A

donation in an envelope marked for Outreach is also welcome! Please return your donation as

soon after Easter as possible so that your Team can start planning donations on your behalf. All

donations to Outreach are appreciated!

We learned that the contents of the nine boxes of winter clothing that we sent to

The Mission to Seafarers, Thunder Bay, were very welcomed and dispersed very

quickly! Therefore, we have chosen to put forth another request. As you are

packing away your warm winter woollies (toques, mitts, socks, sweaters,

pull-overs, jackets, snow pants, and long undies) could you please assess whether you will wear

them again. Anything that you would like to donate could be brought to the church by May 24!

We will send another shipment later this spring as “start up” for the Mission clothing room which

is greatly appreciated by both men and women Seafarers. Your donation may be left behind the

Outreach display board near the blue piano.

Thank you all very much for your continuing support to Outreach projects. Your generosity is

truly amazing!

If you wish to make a donation ($10.00) to help pay for the shipping costs to Thunder Bay it

would be much appreciated.

THE PRIMATE’S WORLD RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT FUND:

During the Federal Budget speech on March 21, Minister Flaherty announced that the Canadian

International Development Agency (CIDA) will become part of the new Department of Foreign

Affairs, Trade and Development. PWRDF has been a long-term partner with CIDA since the agency’s

earliest days, and currently works with CIDA on three separate projects in five countries (Bangladesh,

Burundi, Mozambique, South Africa, and Tanzania.)

According to a statement from Julian Fantino, the Minister for International Cooperation, “The new

Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development will maintain the mandate of poverty alleviation

and humanitarian support. This decision will have no impact on Canada's international assistance budget.”

PWRDF is looking forward to working with the new department in order to ensure that the important work

CIDA is supporting through PWRDF can continue.

PWRDF and CIDA

PWRDF currently partners with CIDA through three separate agreements covering 5 countries and about

$12 million worth of work over 5 years

PWRDF participated in a competitive proposal process, as do all CIDA partners. Both secular and

faith-based NGOs (non-governmental organizations) submitted proposals to comply with certain

criteria set out by CIDA to meet their priorities for work. Our projects were chosen because they are

innovative, effective, and well run

PWRDF’ s programs with CIDA focus on maternal and child health, preventive health, and food security

CIDA policies do not allow funds from CIDA to be used for proselytizing. CIDA approves all budgets for

projects it is involved with before the money is sent

PWRDF serves communities in the countries where our partners work based on the needs in the

community. There is no bias based on a person’s faith, sexual orientation, race, creed, gender,

etc. Some PWRDF partner organizations implementing CIDA programs are faith-based and others are

secular. PWRDF chooses to work with them because of their proven track records of carrying out

effective development and relief work

PWRDF has policies in place to ensure the inclusive nature of our programming, and we require our

partners to abide by these policies

PWRDF Provides Relief after Flooding in Mozambique

PWRDF is contributing $10,000 to relief efforts in Mozambique after severe flooding in January and

February of this year has displaced over 185,000 people. A cholera outbreak has compounded problems for

those in the region, as well as an increase in the number of cases of malaria.

If you have any questions about PWRDF’s CIDA program, please contact All Saints Rep. Joy Lewis or Jill Martin, PWRDF’ s Finance and Administration Manager by email (jmartin@pwrdf.org) or phone (416)924-

9199ext. 301 or 1-866-308-7973.

PWRDF will be part of the ACT Alliance’ s response which will address a number of issues facing the agrarian population that has been affected:

ACT will provide clean drinking water to 5000 households.

5000 Hygiene kits will also be provided, along with education about maintaining hygiene. This will help

to reduce the risk of cholera and other diseases.

Mosquito nets will be distributed to 2000 households, as the stagnant water left behind after the floods

is ideal for mosquitoes, who are the carriers of malaria.

In the short-term, food ((maize meal, beans, oil, sugar) will be provided for households who have lost

their crops to the floods. This will allow them to focus their efforts on rebuilding their homes and

replanting their fields. ACT will also help by providing seeds and farm tools to 2000 families.

Clothing, bedding, and blankets, as well as kitchen tools will be provided to households which have lost

their belongings during the flood.

Finally, 14 communities will receive training on disaster risk reduction- helping them to plan for future emergencies so they will be better able to deal with them as they occur. For more information and resources, contact Joy Lewis, our All Saints’ PWRDF rep; or go to www.pwrdf.org

Submitted by Joy Lewis, PWRDF Rep.

What is the PWRDF Connections Program? PWRDF Connections will enable Canadian Anglicans and PWRDF partners to experience more, different and closer connections to their mutual ministry and work through PWRDF partners’ programs and projects. Connections will bring people together in new ways, eliciting new gifts and resources for all concerned. What will it look like? PWRDF will work to more directly connect parishes, groups, dioceses, and communities in Canada with existing PWRDF partners and projects. This could be through prayer, mutual learning and accompaniment, and/or fundraising for a particular partner or project. From time to time when PWRDF partners offer volunteer opportunities, PWRDF will make them available to Anglicans in Canada. For parishes/dioceses wishing to consider an in-Canada or overseas trip which would include a PWRDF partner visit, PWRDF can help with discernment around the value and purpose of such a trip, logistics for the visit, a pre-travel workshop or resources on cross cultural travel, and post-trip debriefing. Funding of the trip would rest with the parish/diocese. In exceptional circumstances, PWRDF may consider coming alongside an existing partnership between a parish or diocese and an international partner/project, where the partnership fits within PWRDF’s strategic directions. PWRDF could make project approvals and assume responsibility for all the require-ments of the Canada Revenue Agency’s regulations governing Charities Working Overseas. PWRDF would then be able to accept funds raised by the parish or diocese, designated towards the project.

Journey Through Holy Week continued: The

disciples sleep in the Garden of Gethsemane;

Peter warms himself by the charcoal fire; the

cross; some guards at the tomb of Jesus; the

angel announces to the “women” He is not here!

He is risen just as He said!

The World Day of Prayer was held at All Saints,

this year on March 1, 2013. The ribbons

represented a time when we felt welcomed by

someone and we shared that experience with

the person sitting next to us and then tied the

ribbon to theirs. Eventually all ribbons were

joined to represent the welcoming of all

strangers among our different denominations.

The country represented this year was France

and the people enjoyed treats from France at

service.

were shocked at their boldness. Jesus

calmly reminder the Thunder Boys that a

true leader is the one who is willing to

serve others, not tower over them.

Ever faithful to Jesus, James and John

were with the other disciples when Jesus

appeared in the “upper room” after His

resurrection.

It is believed that James preached the

Gospel in the Holy Land and also in Spain;

he was killed by King Herod Agrippa about

11 years after the resurrection.

John was known as “the beloved disciple” who was perhaps the closest friend of

Jesus. John was at the cross during the

crucifixion. He welcomed Mary, the

mother of Jesus, into his own household

and protected her the rest of her life.

John wrote several of the New Testament

books: The Gospel of John, 3 letters and

the Book of Revelation.

Brothers James and John Boanerges [thunder] lived up

to their surname: they were the Sons of Thunder, or

the Thunder Boys. Do you know people like that?

When they enter a room, everyone knows it!

They were partners with Peter in the fishing business.

When Jesus called them, they immediately left the

business to their father and went with Jesus. Peter,

James and John became part of the “inner circle” or

closest friends of Jesus. They were with Jesus when

He was wonderfully changed — transfigured — and His

clothes became dazzling white and God told the

disciples to “Listen to Jesus!” James and John offered to command fire to come

down to consume a village because the people did not

accept Jesus, but Jesus quickly stopped them!

Some time later, James and John asked Jesus for a

favour: Grant, Lord, that in Your glory, we can sit on your right hand and left hand. The other disciples

Paul’s Letters to Titus & Philemon

As was his custom, Paul had established the church on the island of Crete and had sent one of his fellow-workers in the Gospel, to be in charge of the fledgling church—Titus. The people of Crete had quite the reputation! And so Titus had no easy task. Paul first outlines the qualifications for leaders in local churches: faithful, sober, good stewards, patient, generous, hospitable, self-controlled, holy. And Paul, as he had before, condemned those who cause divisions in congregations, who deceive others, who are quarrelsome “empty talkers”. The Cretan congregation faced a problem common to many of the early churches: the Judaizers who falsely preached that Christians must first be-come Jews before becoming Christians. Paul also rebuked those who talked nonsense, debated endlessly and followed myths. Paul advises Bishop Titus: After a first and second admonition, have nothing more to do with a n y o n e w h o c a u s e s

divisions,since you know that such a person is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned. [3:10-11] Paul then commended good Christian behaviour: being temperate, sound in faith and love, self-controlled. Paul often said, as did Jesus, a believer should always behave in a Christian manner. That seems obvious, doesn’t it? But, alas, not always true. In Philemon Paul writes to beg a favour. It is presumed that while Paul spent 3 years teaching and preaching in Ephesus, Philemon, from neighbouring Colossae, was one converted by Paul’s teaching and preaching. A slave belonging to Philemon, named Onesimus, had run away and ended up in Rome where Paul was under house arrest for preaching the Gospel. Onesimus, too, seems to have been converted by Paul and he remained with the Apostle to help him. Onesimus’ name means useful and Paul makes a play on this by telling Philemon

that the slave who had once been useless to him is now useful to both Paul and Philemon. The moment came when Paul, and probably Onesimus himself, realized that the runaway had to return to his owner to “face the music”. Under Roman Law, Philemon could have beaten or even killed Onesimus. Paul appealed to Philemon to receive the slave back without exacting a penalty. Paul, himself, promises to repay Philemon anything Onesimus might owe. Does this mean Onesimus would no longer be a slave? Perhaps not. But Paul is asking for a different attitude to exist between the men—no longer that of slave and master, but now brothers in Christ. Does this letter indicate that Christianity approves of slavery? By no means! Paul is a very practical person who lived out his radical faith within the confines of society. Almost 1800 years later, a British Parliamentarian named William Wilberforce saw in the New Testament a mandate to abolish slavery. There is no record of Philemon’s response to Paul’s request; however, it has always been presumed that love prevailed.

Paul In His Own Words

For the grace of God has ap-peared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly,13while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good

deeds. [Titus 2:11-14]

Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,2to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarrelling, to be gentle, and to show every courtesy to everyone.3For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, despicable, hating one another. 4But

when the goodness and loving-kindness of God our Saviour appeared,5he saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. [Titus 3:1-5]

I desire that you insist on these things, so that those who have come to believe in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works; these things are excellent and profitable to everyone. [Titus 3:8]

Who Wrote Titus &

Philemon? St Paul. Paul also mentions Timothy in his letter to Philemon.

When were the letters

written Around 61-63 AD. Philemon was perhaps written before Titus.

Where Was It

Written? Scholars are less sure where Paul was when he wrote Titus; however, Paul himself makes clear that Philemon was written from prison — house arrest in Rome — making Philemon [along with Philippians, E p h e s i a n s , a n d Colossians] one of the “prison epistles”.

To whom was the

letter written? Titus was one of the pastoral epistles — those written to a fellow minister of the Gospel: in this case, Titus, the Bishop of Crete. Philemon was a personal letter written to a wealthy friend from Colossae. Why was the letter

written? Titus was written to encourage and give direction to Titus. Philemon was written to ask a favour.
