From Fr. Michael It can be a challenge, sometimes, to follow
Christ in our particular tradition when much of the rest of the Christian world seems to be caught up in fierce controversies that we, as Anglicans, don’t tend to see as central to our faith. That is not to suggest that our church is without controversy, in fact far from it, as the recent debates over the blessing of same‐sex marriage and the court battles waged over ownership of church property will attest. However, many of the concerns that are the cause of so much passion and division throughout much of Christianity do not factor in much in our church life. I refer to issues such as the literal interpretation of Scripture, narrow understandings of salvation, and the “faith vs. science” debate in general. These issues tend to be the hot button religious issues of the day, and they dominate the me‐dia attention that is given to religion in our culture – that is when the subject is not given over to sex scandals and the like; but are they divisive within our own church? I think not. Again, that is not to say that we are not affect‐ed by these debates or that we do not have parishioners who stand on oppo‐site sides of these issues (and everywhere in between the two extremes). We do, which is to be expected of a “big umbrella” church like the Episcopal Church. In fact, most positions, opinions and persuasions, political and otherwise, are represented in our membership; but our experience of this diversity does not divide and separate us from each other; rather, it compels us to double our efforts to come together as a community, because we understand that such unity is what God calls us to seek. Our unity as a church under God inspires us to discover our common ties to each other, ties that help us to overcome our respective differences and remind us that we are all children of one God; members of one family who belong in the same room and at the same table with each other. This encourages us to see Godliness in the tolerance of differences and the appreciation of diversity; and it enables us, as Anglicans, to avoid much of the rancor and ungodly partisanship that often characterizes the public’s perception of Christianity. In the early church it is said that Christians impressed non‐believers by their unity and mutual respect. “See how they love each other?,” a Roman official was quoted as he observed the faithful. Perhaps, if we can grow more aware of our own tradition, of the Anglican witness’ emphasis on tolerance and its respect for diversity, we can offer this understanding as a gift to our

Church Humor An Episcopal bishop went to an unfamiliar church to
celebrate the Eucharist. There was a microphone on the altar, and being uncertain whether it was switched on, he tapped it gently with no response.
So leaning very close to it, he said in a loud whisper which echoed around the church, “There is something wrong with this microphone.”
The well‐trained and responsive congregation, very familiar with the latest in liturgical language, replied at once, “And also with you.”

Branches – March, 2013 By The Rev. Barbara von
Haaren
Lent is a word that you will not find in any Bible dictionary. After all, Lent was not part of the early forming church in Jerusalem. Jesus said nothing about seasons of the Church Year. Rather, Lent came about during the 4th century when Christians were becoming pretty much just like everyone else. No longer did they stand out head and shoulders above others in their bold love for one another, proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ, the savior, who promised salvation. No, by the 4th century, Christians were content to be comfortable in the quiet of their homes, staying warm with their flannel sheets and sipping fine wines by the fireplace as they reclined on their soft couches.
So, in response, the Church announced a season of Lent – from the old English word Lenten meaning spring – a season based on the 40‐year wilderness wanderings of the Israelites, based also perhaps on Jesus 40 days in the wilderness. The number 40 was used by the ancients to indicate a VERY long time. Lent was intended to be a pre‐Easter time of spring cleaning for the soul, a time to renew that relationship with God, a time to really listen to what God has to say.
I have a friend who used to have a high‐powered job in northern Minnesota. She spent lots of time at her job, not always happily. One winter day, while sitting at her desk, she saw a lizard run across her office floor. A lizard! In the middle of a Minnesota winter day! After running about for a time, it disappeared behind the filing cabinets and was never seen again. However, my friend got to thinking about that brave little lizard, and found that lizards can lose their original tail and then grow a new, better, more flexible tail. She applied that thought to her own situation and realized that her tail was all the baggage she was carrying around.—baggage that was mental and emotional as well as the real and tangible stuff that was occupying too much space in her home and office. She decided to do some housecleaning, and, in the end, she ended up quitting her job and took the time to find out more about who she was and how she fit into life. She listened to God and today she is happily working at a job where she has no office, but where she can interact with others and share her joys, her sorrows and her wisdom.
As we progress thru this season of Lent, let’s take time to listen to God, to renew our relationship and tighten up our connection. Remember that God promised to be with us always, even as we go through the pain of losing our tails or dumping our baggage. That connection, that relationship, will remain strong throughout our fears, our struggles. And even if we don’t always feel it, God resides in all places of our lives, blesses them, and makes them holy.
From the Altar Guild By Jeannette Wilson
In order to “simplify” our altars during the Lenten season, it is our tradition to ‘bare” the altars by removing the flowers. If you have given a floral donation during the six weeks of Lent it will be noted in the bulletin. Hydrangeas will represent those memorial donations on Easter Sunday and may be taken after the service by those who donated during Lent. Thank you!

March is Poison Prevention Month By Mary Heckman, Parish Nurse
“…but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full
of deadly poison”. (James 3:8)
A poison is anything that can cause injury or death to a person. In our lives, we come in contact with many harmful substances. With March being POISON AWARENESS MONTH, let’s educate ourselves about POISONS, especially toxic household products. It is always the right time to learn what the words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN mean and teach them to our children.
Be aware that accidental poisoning can happen at any
age and not just to small children. Please read the fol‐
lowing guidelines:
Ages 1 to 6 years—Most accidental poisonings happen
to this group while exploring; which translates into
shaking, spilling, smelling, tasting, and wiping of
hands on skin or clothing. This is the group with the
highest fatality rate because of ingestion and the
inability of newly developing organs to cope with a
massive toxic exposure.
Ages 5 to 10 years—This is the age that wants to help
mommy. Most accidental poisonings occur when
children try to clean with household products. Often
these accidental poisonings are never reported to
poison control centers for social reasons and because
exposure is generally not as severe as the first group.
Delayed health reactions are usually not associated
with the initial triggering event.
Ages 8 to 18 years—ʺHuffingʺ or sniffing household
products to get high. Today, one out of five children
tries ʺhuffingʺ by the time they reach the eighth grade.
This group is completely unaware that household
products are poisonous. After all, they see smiling
women, high on house cleaning, sniffing these same
products on TV, encouraging their audience to do the
same.
Adults—Misuse is the most common cause of acci‐
dental poisoning in this group. Adults are usually
guilty of failure to read instructions carefully and take
heed of the warning labels. Big mistake.
Elderly Mistaken identity is the accidental poisoning
plague of the elderly. Often they attempt to read labels
without their glasses or in the dark, or automatically
reach for a medication that has been moved from its
usual place only to pickup something else by mistake.
This group is most likely to store products not in
Did You Know? By Mary Kolderie
Gregory was a man enchanted with Christ and daz‐zled by the meaning of his Passion. He was born in Caesarea about 334, the younger brother of Basil the Great, and, in his youth, was but a reluctant Christian.
When he was twenty, the transfer of the relics of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste to the family chapel at Annesi quickened Gregory’s faith, and he became a practicing Christian and a lector. He abandoned this ministry, however, to be come a rhetorician like his father.
His brother, Basil, in his struggle against the Emper‐or Valens, compelled Gregory to become Bishop of Nyssa, a town ten miles from Caesarea. Knowing himself to be unfit for the charge, Gregory described his ordination as the most miserable day of his life. He lacked the important episcopal skills of tact and understanding, and had no sense of the value of mon‐ey. Falsely accused of embezzling Church funds, Greg‐ory went into hiding for two years, not returning to his diocese until Valens died.
Although he resented his brother’s dominance, Gregory was shocked by Basil’s death in 379. Several months later, he received another shock: his beloved sister Macrina was dying. Gregory hastened to Annesi and conversed with her for two days about death, and the soul, and the meaning of the resurrection. Choking with asthma, Macrina died in her brother’s arms.
The two deaths, while stunning Gregory, also freed him to develop as a deeper and richer philosopher and theologian. He reveals his delight in the created order in his treatise, On the Making of Man. He exposes the depth of his contemplative and mystical nature in his Life of Moses again in his Commentary on the Song of Songs. His Great Catechism is still considered second only to Origen’s treatise, On First Principles.
In 381, Gregory attended the second Ecumenical Council at Constantinople, where he was honored as the “pillar of the Church.” In the fight for the Nicene faith, he was one of the three great Eastern theologi‐ans, known with Basil the great and Gregory of Nazianzus, as the Cappadocian Fathers.

Mission Project By Mary Kolderie
Remember the mosquito nets and the dress for success which were the Episcopal Church in Minnesota Mission projects for 2011 and 2012? For 1013, the mission project is the Mama Ada Foundation to raise money for seeds and scholarships for the people in the Rift Valley Region of Kenya. Each Sunday, through Easter, you will receive an insert in your church bulletin which has a prayer and a picture of the people the Mama Ada Foundation helps. What can we do at Christ Episcopal Church to help the Mama Ada Foundation?
What Can we Do:
Engage your baptismal covenant and participate in mission with your brothers and sisters across Minnesota.
Send kids to school, empowering young Kenyans to be self‐sufficient with scholarships that provide basic education.
Invest in farmers and families, empowering Kenyans to yield a harvest with seeds that feed their families.
Every Gift Counts
Tuition: $200—students living at home $300—students boarding at school $400—college students
Seeds: $184—cost of seeds and fertilizer per acre/per person
Checks can be made payable to Christ Episcopal church; put Mission Project 2013 on the memo line. You may very well think, “Oh, no, not another
charity wanting my money.” I am bombarded with dozens of requests to give to this or that charity, but The Mama Ada Foundation is special to me because it is our Mission Project, and it emphasizes education. Therefore, I plan to set aside $5 for each day I eat at home rather than in a restaurant. I figure 40 days of Lent X $5—$200, which is enough to pay the tuition of one student living at home for one year.
Mission Project 2013 Prayer
Almighty and merciful God, who through your only beloved Son our Savior Jesus Christ taught that when we serve the least among us we are serving you, send forth your Holy Spirit upon us, so that we who have been washed in the waters of baptism will continue to be strengthened for service and mission for the world. Empower us to reach out in unity as the church to meet the needs of the marginalized in your holy name. All this we ask through your son Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God now and forever. Amen
Garage Sale By Audrey Ferber
The time has come to get serious about our upcoming all church garage sale. Let us all work together on the project like we did on our first one in May 1987. We made over $4,000—something to think about. I well remember all the good help from some of our members no longer with us: Jim & Betty Cook, Don Prinz, and, of course, Ralph Nelson, who knew his antiques, and all the people who came forth to help. Let’s do it again. You can start now to pick out your items to donate. But please, don’t bring anything to the church at this time. We don’t have room. Things to save: dishes, kitchen items, furniture, antique collectables, Red Wing pottery, towels, bedspreads, pictures, picture frames, wall hangings, jewelry, hand bags, billfolds, books, paperbacks, CD’s, tapes, DVD’s, records, appliances in working condition, toasters, coffee makers, etc. No clothing. We need racks.
Dates to mark on your calendar:
May 2—setup day. May 3&4—Sale days.
More to follow. If you have any questions or can help me, please call Audrey—388‐3675.
