ST. PETER’S KEYS The newsletter of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church

LETTER FROM OUR RECTOR

Dear People of St. Peter’s,

There are certain clichés and tropes that are quite common in our culture. One of them is the librarian calling for silence in the library. Frequently these images are played for comedy such as in the Music Man or in Ghostbusters. We laugh in part because it is a common experience that we all know fairly well, it is familiar and we can all relate. We have all been there—momentarily forgetting where we are and being called up short by someone else. Modern life can be full of many distractions that compete for our attention. Many of us have found mobile phones to be advantageous, but we have all been in the middle of a conversation and suddenly interrupted when our companion decides to take a phone call. Another all too common experience is going to a theater and inadvertently sitting next to someone who talks through the entire performance. Here’s another experience: during sabbatical, I went to worship at a neighboring church and knelt down to pray before the liturgy began. While I was trying to pray, many members of the congregation came up to shake my shoulder to welcome me to the church and inquire as to why I was there. It is easy to be critical of the behaviors of others, but most of us at one time or another have forgotten where we are and/or who we are with. This summer has seemed milder to me than the last couple of recent memory. As someone with a low tolerance for heat and humidity, I have found myself enjoying the outdoors much more this year, with walks, quiet evenings on the porch and on the beach. What has struck me in these moments has been the beauty of Creation that surrounds me and the sure reality that I am in fact on Holy ground. Just like the cell phone calls, talking in theaters, and the like, I can forget to be mindful of where I am and what is around me. Perhaps this is one of the gifts of the Camino where I walked for several weeks—seeing beauty on every side in an unfamiliar landscape that was quite common to the indigenous people who lived there. I celebrated what was just normal to many of locals. Whether I am walking on the beach or sitting on the porch on a lazy evening, I now find myself drawn to beauty that surrounds me and that I have often taken for granted. Perhaps I have regained fresh eyes and the gift of a new level of mindfulness. I pray that you find these blessings too! I encourage of you to find more opportunities to go to the beach or even your own backyard and find time to just be with God and give thanks for being where you are. If you can, disconnect a bit from modern distractions and focus not on what’s wrong in the world. Take time to connect with the Holy and see how God has expressed God’s love. Find some time to spend in simple adoration and give thanks. Consider this prayer from page 836 in the Book of Common Prayer: Accept, O Lord, our thanks and praise for all that you have done for us. We thank you for the splendor of the whole creation, for the beauty of this world, for the wonder of life, and for the

mystery of love. We thank you for the blessing of family and friends, and for the loving care which surrounds us on every side. We thank you for setting us at tasks which demand our best efforts, and for leading us to accomplishments which satisfy and delight us. We thank you also for those disappointments and failures that lead us to acknowledge our dependence on you alone. Above all, we thank you for your Son Jesus Christ; for the truth of his Word and the example of his life; for his steadfast obedience, by which he overcame temptation; for his dying, through which he overcame death; and for his rising to life again, in which we are raised to the life of your kingdom. Grant us the gift of your Spirit, that we may know him and make him known; and through him, at all times and in all places, may give thanks to you in all things. Amen. Please keep me in your prayers and know that you are daily in mine. Faithfully, Jeffrey

VESTRY NOMINATIONS The Vestry serves as the governing body of St. Peter's. It works with the Rector and other clergy, the administrative staff and parishioners to achieve the church's goals and missions. Twelve parishioners serve on the Vestry, divided into three classes of four persons each. Nominees to fill the four Vestry vacancies [Karen Fischer, Stuart Brahs, Donald Matthews & Nathalie Willard] that will occur at the end of the year are now being sought. Members of St. Peter's will vote on the

nominees at the annual meeting in November; the new terms will begin in January 2015.

To serve on St. Peter's Vestry one must be confirmed in the Episcopal Church, a member of St. Peter's for at least one year, and have made an annual pledge. Inasmuch as the Vestry meets monthly and its duties involve a wide range of ministries – including stewardship, youth and family, property, worship & music, missions and outreach, parish life and newcomers, pastoral care – Vestry members should be full-time residents.

If you wish to serve on the Vestry or wish to nominate someone, please advise Father Jeff, Adele Fluharty or any of the four retiring Vestry members. Arrangements will be made for prospective nominees to be interviewed prior to their inclusion on the November ballot.

THE TESTIMONY OF CARE RECEIVERS .. by Deby Daly

Those who were in church on the last Sunday of June found a flyer called “The After People” in their pews. Stephen Ministers are often called that because we come into your life after something has come into yours. I’ve often thought that many of you think of Stephen Ministers as going out spending time with the elderly. In some cases, that is true. As people age, spouses die, health declines, long-time friends move away and loneliness can set in. Living situations change and important decisions have to be made. Often times, those surrounding the elderly have definite ideas about what Mom or Dad should do. Feelings can get hurt and tempers can rise. That’s where a Stephen Minister can help. Things often happen unexpectedly in our lives. You lose your job, a loved one dies, you get a medical diagnosis that is devastating or your spouse announces they want a divorce. Many of us have experienced these things or know someone who has. Your life is turned upside down and you can’t think straight, much less

figure out where you are going to go from there. Stephen Ministers are carefully trained over a period of months in all areas of Christian care-giving. In addition to weekly classes, there is assigned reading from two training manuals as well as three books on specific topics. During classes, there is a lot of discussion between Stephen Leaders and Stephen Ministers-to-be. Role playing is used to help fortify what is being taught and what needs to become ingrained in the minds of the Stephen Ministers. An array of emotions is often experienced by those in training and in the process, we learn a lot about ourselves, which in turn helps us to identify with the feelings and needs of our care receivers. Going into a situation with a care receiver, the Stephen Minister is an impartial, non-judgmental party. They are there only for their care receiver, not the family or friends. The care receiver is afforded the opportunity to discuss how they feel without fear of the conversations being discussed with others. Strict confidentiality is kept at all times. The Stephen Minister listens carefully, offering back what the care

receiver is saying to make sure they fully understand and then works with their care receiver so they can get in touch with their true emotions. The Stephen Minister helps explore avenues that the care receiver can pursue relative to their situation. Becoming a commissioned Stephen Minister requires a serious commitment and true dedication to the program. Members must complete all of the training classes and participate in on-going continuing education and peer supervision group sessions in order to remain a Stephen Minister. We do this because we believe in the program and the good that it does. We truly care about the well-being of our care receivers. We don’t want anyone to have to walk alone in trying times. We’re there to help. We will be providing more information about the program during the next couple of months. If you are interested in having a Stephen Minister, or if you know of someone who might benefit from the program, please let Father Jeff or Father Larry know. Any one of the Stephen Ministers will be more than happy to talk to you as well.

Stephen Ministry at St. Peter’s is looking for interested candidates for the Fall 2014 class. Contact : stephen@stpeterslewes.org

LOOKING FOR STEPHEN MINISTERS Our congregation’s Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide confidential one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.

A Stephen Minister is: A child of God who walks bedside a person who is hurting A congregation member with gifts for caregiving who carefully selected to serve in this role A lay person who has received 50 hours of training in providing emotional and spiritual care A caring, Christian friend who listens, cares, prays, support, and encourages Someone who will “be there” for his or her care receiver, meeting faithfully for about an hour each week, for as

long as there’s a need.

HUGS OF THANKS FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF St. Peter’s 48th Annual Art Show on July 5th was certainly blessed with almost perfect weather and a tremendous crowd of eager visitors to view and purchase items from over 140 juried artists and artisans. This annual event is St. Peter’s primary fundraising initiative; its proceeds benefit those in our community who are in need – “great art serving great charities since 1966”. The event is free to the public and staffed entirely by volunteers, who devote hundreds of hours to this ministry. We are so fortunate for the investment these caring volunteers provide to the church; St. Peter's certainly relies on them. The coordination and organization are paramount to this event, which actually starts almost seven months prior to the July “big show.” Much of the logistical and publicity work is performed behind the scenes. From our own personal experience, the volunteers' efforts seem seamless to

present to the public such a well-run art show. Myriad tasks are performed by our volunteers and the St. Peter’s office staff prior to the show as well as on the day of the show. The presence of support by the v o l u n t e e r s i s demonstrated in a variety of duties on the day of the show – preparing and serving a delicious luncheon to the public, a fine raffle drawing representing three featured artists of the show, a silent auction comprised of the many donated works of art by the art show participants, face painting for all, the Green Team’s environmental friendly water bottles to serve water, the historical tours of t h e c h u r c h , a n d o r g a n demonstrations. St. Peter’s also provides a light breakfast for the artists, which makes this show special for them. The spirit of camaraderie among the artists and our volunteers is contagious.

We want to thank all of you who participated this year as a volunteer or even if you just came on the 5th to support this ministry. We hope that in 2015, our 49th Annual Art Show will be another success for St. Peter’s Church. We urge you to consider volunteering for this very important ministry – just call the office! As Shakespeare wrote, “I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks.” Peace, Karen Fischer, Senior Warden Stuart Brahs, Junior Warden

A YEAR IN RETROSPECT .. It is hard to believe that on August 1, 2014, I will have been here at St. Peters for a year’s time. Upon my arrival, I knew no one. I struggled with names, with familiar relationships, with passwords and door combinations, as well as, with a myriad of other things. Every day was a challenge for my aging brain.

Last Sunday, one short year later, Hailey ran over and gave me a big hug because I hadn’t seen her in a whole week, I watched John serve his first week on the altar and knew how special that was to him not to mention how special it was for me, I know that Evan is participating this week in Governor’s school because he is a fantastic trumpet player and that Ally is performing in Jungle Book this weekend, because she is a budding actress. I know that Mitch’s favorite color is red and that Emma and Leni just got back from Disney World. Knowing all of this makes me happy and it makes me feel at home here at St. Peters. I thank you all for that. I thank you for making me feel so comfortable and welcome in this beloved place.

In addition to carrying on all of St. Peter’s children’s traditions this past year, we added a children’s Lenten series and this summer’s Vacation Bible School. We have also added two new classes. One being an older-age Godly Play Center last Fall and the second being Spy Explorers scheduled to start this Fall. Currently, we are working to bring you a series of Adult Educational opportunities in conjunction with the National Observance of Children’s Sabbaths which will be held on Sunday, October 19. This year’s theme is Precious in God’s Sight: Answering the Call to Cherish and Protect Every Child.

Continuing to provide more and varied Christian Educational offerings takes volunteers. Last August I ended my first Newsletter submission with a call to all of us to live into our baptismal vows and join together to raise children of faith. I think that bears repeating. Join me again this year in helping to raise children of faith here at St. Peters. Your loving presence is all that is required. Peace be with you, Mende

DELAWARE ACDA HOLDS WORKSHOP AT ST. PETER’S On June 13 the Delaware chapter of the American Choral Directors’ Association held its annual music reading day at St. Peter’s. Choral directors from schools, churches, and community choirs came together for a day of learning new repertoire and rehearsal techniques. Thanks to Ann Freeman for organizing this successful workshop.

KING’S COLLEGE RSCMA CHOIR TRAINING COURSE From July 21 to 27, Kelley Mallon, Chris Myers, Peg Naylor, & T.J. Thomas attended the annual King’s College choir training course of the Royal School of Church Music in America. The week-long course consisted of approximately 4 hours of daily rehearsal with Evensong & Compline, time for fellowship, and other educational opportunities.

DID YOU KNOW? The Dog Days of Summer is the name

given to the period of time (in the

northern hemisphere) from around July

3rd to August 11th and - according to

most sources—it all began with the ancient Romans.

So, “Caniculares dies” (days of the dogs) began with the

Romans, huh? Hmm, and here, as a kid, I always thought

that name was something my grandparents made up

when we got to this time of year. Well, according to

weather.com (the internet source I liked the best when I

googled “dog days of summer”) it had its origins with

Sirius, also called the “Dog Star.” With the exception of

our sun, Sirius is the brightest star visible from Earth and

it was very easy for early astronomers to track it—

especially during April and early May when it was visible

in the southwest sky after sunset. However, once mid-

summer arrived, Sirius would rise and fall with the sun

and get “lost” in the daytime light. Those astronomers

“reasoned” that because Sirius was so bright and was

now in the sky at the same time as the sun, it was adding

to the heat, thus producing the hottest time of the year.

Of course, now we know that isn’t the case, but what you

may not know is: “Sirius is very luminous; if it suddenly

replaced our sun, daylight on Earth would be about 25

times brighter than it is now! (Yeah – we’d REALLY like

that, wouldn’t we?) Sirius is also about half a million

times farther away from our sun – something the

ancients didn’t know.” (Dr. Jon Nese, Penn State

University Professor, and former Storm “Analyst for The

Weather Channel) And, even though Sirius may be bright,

the effects of its energy do not affect Earth that much.

For comparison – if the sun were a traditional light bulb,

Sirius would be an LED bulb.

Okay, all that being said, the “Dog Days of Summer” can

still be downright unbearable for some folks, especially

those who aren’t fortunate enough to have any air

conditioning. I know that might seem unbelievable (no

AC?!) but sadly, it’s the truth.

Back in July 2010, “God’s World” gave some easy, energy

efficient and economical ways to “deal with the Dog

Days” .. even for those of us “blessed ones” who have AC.

So, since we’re all now a part of the St. Peter’s Green

Team (“God’s World” July 2014) and our goal is “to be the

best stewards possible of God’s Creation—’this fragile

earth, our island home’ (BCP p. 370),” it shouldn’t be too

difficult for us to identify at least one or two things from

the list below that we can do to work toward our “green

goal.”

Use fans instead of air conditioning. (Fans make the air feel about 4 degrees cooler.)

Turn fans off when no one is directly in the air stream. Fans do not actually cool the air; they help your skin to evaporate water more quickly, which cools you.

If the nighttime temperature falls below 75 degrees, open windows and use window fans to pull cool air into your home.

Install awnings over windows and close window blinds or curtains to keep direct sunlight out.

Drink plenty of fluids to help your body cool itself. Keep closet doors closed. This can save you up to

5% in heating/cooling costs alone. Make sure doors and windows are closed tightly/

locked to prevent cooled air from escaping. And finally a little tip we learned from our HVAC man.

(This is especially helpful for houses that aren’t occupied

on a full time basis or for those of us who don’t keep the

AC running constantly.)

If you take a couple of minutes to hose down the AC

compressor with cold water before turning the unit on, it

will take less time and energy to reduce the house’s

temperature. Pretty “cool,” don’t ‘ya think?
