VESTRY

VIEWS

I attempt to live a good and faithful life, but as all humans fail. I become

frustrated, angry, perplexed and annoyed. My actions can sometimes speak

as loud as my words. (In the past I had a habit of banging doors, until one

went right through the door jamb.)

This past year with COVID restrictions, including quarantining, not going to

church, no traveling, and very limited dinner with friends and family, have

made life for me nearly impossible. Then the political climate was thrust upon

me with people being strongly persuaded one way or the other, and the

characterization those that thought differently were absolutely crazy. Both

sides, however, were horrified when the Capitol Building was lawlessly

desecrated.

I listen to our Zoom services and attend a Bible Study. I hear and believe All

Lives Matter and I am loved by God as is every other person on earth.

James 3:10 states “Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My

brothers and sisters, this should not be.” I wonder if I am praising or cursing

with my words and actions and will try to be more cognizant as I interact with

others.

I pray I and our church community will continue build each other up this

coming year.

Respectfully, Roberta Ames

Dear Parish,

2020 was a year I didn’t think would end but it did with much expectant relief and hope, but then a

few days into 2021 – at least for me – this was the hardest month of the pandemic yet. It is my hope that as accountability begins that so then can healing. Our country will struggle with healing if we cannot have honest conversations about racism, lack of access to affordable healthcare for everyone, the mounting gap between rich and poor, gender inequality, and sexual orientation. We as a society lack the practice and sometimes the skills to have these conversations with each other, but we must try. And as we educate ourselves and practice these hard conversations we have to find ways to put our words and heart into action. That is why we have read three books centered on anti-racism, to learn, to listen, to practice talking about racism, this is how we become better

advocates. This is why our Lenten Spiritual Offering will be a 40 Day Bible Challenge focused on Social Justice. I hope you will all participate.

It will be a while before we can be together in person, our Monroe County covid numbers are still too high, and the vaccine is in short supply. I know this is hard. I appreciate how draining the face mask wearing, physical distancing, limits on everything is. Keep hanging in there! Keep calling each other and sending cards 

We also have to try out inviting family and friends to our Zoom Worship Services and Zoom Events. We need to think beyond sustaining and back towards growing Epiphany  Part of growing our parish is that we ourselves have to experience and believe in growth. This happens by staying curious, learning new things, and sharing what we learn with one another. It is also important to grow our personal relationship with Christ, and we do this by keeping our faith grounded in worship and prayer. I love our parish and our community, as do each one of you, so let us have fun together, be serious when required, keep exploring in our faith, learn how to have hard conversations, and get good at invitation and sharing with others about why we are an awesome parish!

Blessings, Rev. Jimmie Sue

Annual “Souper” Bowl Food Drive

Sunday February 7, 2021

See if you can find all 32 NFL team nicknames in this announcement!

Souper Bowl Sunday is coming soon! So I know it’s just past Christmas and we all have bills to pay, we have to titan our belts, and we are dreaming of being on a beach, watching dolphins, seahawks and falcons, and thinking of our favorite football team – but please bear with me. Please be a saint and a raider of your pantry, and look for some giant cans of soup. Or spend a few bucs and jet on over to your local grocery store. I’m not lion, they are the chief packers of canned goods. They might even have soup on sale for 49 cents. A real steeler! It’s not ill-eagle to ram through the store and use your charger cards to help out with this annual project which everyone is raven about. Don’t stand pat, use these colt days of winter to help stock our local food panther-try. We’ve all ben gals and guys who are generous! You don’t have to drive a jaguar or be a Texan cowboy riding a brown bronco to help out.

I’d like to in-vike you all to drop off cans of soup January 31 through February 7. Thanks from the Service Committee.

Lenten Spiritual Offering

Starting every Thursday evening in Lent, we will we have discussion based on our daily reading and reflections, using the book “The Social Justice Bible Challenge: A 40 Day Bible Challenge” edited by Marek P. Zabriskie.

Be ready to dive right in on February 25th at 7pm via Zoom. Each week we will discuss that week’s readings and reflections. Here’s an introduction to the book: “Featuring forty days of reflections by spiritual leaders and writers from around the world, The Social Justice Bible Challenge is an extension of The Bible Challenge, a global initiative to encourage daily engagement with scripture and an exploration of the Word of God. Disciples wishing to spend more time engaging the Bible on topics from poverty, hunger, displacement, and the care of widows and orphans will have their cups filled over and over again by the words of Scripture and meditations from people across the Church who engage with these realities each and every day.

Bridging the gap between knowing the Bible and living it, The Social Justice Bible Challenge, is for those seeking to deeply engaged in scripture, and connect their compassion to God's Word.

Service Ministry Update

We have just completed the first service ministry project of 2021 to help Cameron Ministry’s take out lunch program. The Service ministry team would like to thank the parishioners for their donations of paper products, take-out trays and individual drinks boxes/bottles which will be used to help support Cameron’s lunch program, The kitchen staff was very appreciate of all the supplies donated for this program that serves the

individuals in the Lyell- Otis neighborhood. Currently we are in the midst of collecting for our annual “Souper Bowl” donations of soups, canned pasta and chili’s for St. Theodore’s Food Pantry. The collection will continue until February

(7)

7th which is Super Bowl Sunday. St. Theodore’s Food Pantry is also very appreciative of our donations that help serve needy individuals in the Gates community.

Our Lenten and Easter Projects this year include our Fiber Ministry collection of fiber projects that our knitted, crocheted and sewn by our parishioners. Our GOAL is 40 projects which will help those less fortunate in the community. The collection basket for these projects will be placed in the main hallway starting mid-February. Let’s get our creative juices flowing and start our

fiber ministry projects!

For our less creative parishioners in the parish, we are going to partner with the Town of Gate and their Police department with donations of Easter Food Baskets to less fortunate families in the Town of Gates that would enjoy some food items and a small gift card so that they can cook and enjoy an Easter dinner. This project will be patterned after the SWEM Christmas baskets that most parishioner are familiar with. More details will be forthcoming but the collection will be in the later part of March.

Included in the February STAR is a thank you note from the Golisano Children’s hospital for our generous donation of PJ’s, sweat pants and activity packets.

Despite the pandemic and our inability to attend in-person church, the Service Ministry team is very grateful for the generosity of our

parishioners to help those less fortunate. Our willingness to help our neighbor in need is one of the reasons that Epiphany is a very special church family for us all.

Please feel free to contact any of the Service Ministry team is you would like to join our team or have any new ideas for Service projects. Birdie Ames, Amy Deppe, Nancy Mancini. Mike and Diane Moffatt and Marsha Pulhamus

Celebrating Epiphany in Gates with

Stories

Reverend Harold S. Knight was the Priest of the “Old” Church of the Epiphany in the 1950’s. A lifelong friend of Lillian Poppleton he died on November 17, 2020 of old age. Harold was 108 years olf. At the time of his passing, he was the oldest living clergy of the entire Episcopal Church (all continents), Oldest man in Arizona, and the 16th place oldest man in the

United States.

He was a beloved part of Church of the Epiphany’s history. In his later years he shared a poem with the local clergy:

(9)

Fr. Knight shared a poem he had written:

“I cannot go to church these days But in spirit I am there.

I read the Sunday lessons

We are one in praise and prayer. I miss familiar faces

But I see them in my mind.

I give my alms for the work of Christ A willing pledge I sign.

Evil cannot conquer good

Christ’s teachings will always last; When this is truly understood With Christ our lot is cast”.

Father Harold Knight

A Little History:

Church of the Epiphany was Founded in 1869. The Parish had transitioned and changed with the changing times and needs of their worship community. While the physical location has changed a few times, the faith that resides within its Parishioners has remained strong.

1870S. Frances, near Tremont 1871 - 1882S. Frances, opp. Adams 1884 – 1950 Jefferson Ave. opp. Adams 1960 323 Jefferson Ave.-

The parish flourished providing a center of spiritual life, social life, and social responsibility to the neighborhood for over fifty years. But the world was changing following World War II as people from the city moved to the suburbs. By 1952, it was apparent that the parish needed to take a hard look at itself and its environment. Many

parishioners had moved to Western suburbs and the character of the neighborhood had changed.

Church population declined despite determined efforts to attract those who had recently moved into the neighborhood. After careful consideration, the Vestry decided in 1958 to relocate to the suburbs, following many families who moved there.

To preserve the heritage of the parish, many furnishings from the old church were incorporated into the building, including the altar, pulpit,

baptismal font and two beautiful stained-glass memorial windows, one dating from 1882, which had been the centerpiece of the altar window ensemble…

It is humbling to know that so many of the beautiful furnishings we see when we enter The Church have witnessed so many years of faith. Yet they stand strong, enduring the passage of time, much like the people who utilize them. It has been a difficult year for all, yet my faith is lifted with the knowledge that no matter what the world throws at us, the Church will remain.

What an amazing parish that has come together to share their faith with each other and the world. Much history has been seen by the Parish walls which brings us to our journey to the present…

1960’s Our Story Begins:

“Epiphany Church is basically people, individually and united as a family in worship, work, and fellowship. Our distinctiveness as a parish lies not in our beautiful building, but in the uniqueness of each member and how we relate with each other. The building serves to house our common life and is hallowed by how we treat each other within its walls.

Furthermore, God chose us to be His Body, so that through our life He might be known and active in the world. The way we care for each other and the way we work, and worship together is a VISIBLE

(10)

"showing forth" (the literal meaning of "Epiphany") of our INVISIBLE God of Love.”

Roger S. Derby (Rector 1963-1969) , in a preamble to the 1964 photo directory.

Did you Know?

 The Epiphany congregation on Jefferson Ave decided to move to the suburbs in 1955?

 In 1958 they decided to move to the Gates-Chili area because it was a large area covering the towns of Gates, Chili and Ogden, Villages of Churchville and

Spencerport where no work was being done by the Episcopal Church?

 The original plans were for a church seating 550 people with a chapel for 72 people on the west side of the property where the fellowship hall is now and a Meeting Hall seating 256 people and a second chapel searing 34 people on the east side of the property, which is now the Nave of the church with the second chapel being the Sanctuary?

 The first service was held on Christmas Eve, 1960, The cornerstone was dedicated on the Sunday after Epiphany, January 8, 1961 with a dedication of the new church

building on Palm Sunday March 28, 1961 by Bishop Stark?

 Jack Merrick was one of the acolytes during that Christmas Eve Service.

 The altar, the stained-glass window above it, lectern and pulpit, were all from the Epiphany on Jefferson Avenue?

I remember my large family taking up the whole third row in the folding chairs on the right-hand side of the church. Would you believe that is still my preferred seat to this day?

I was confirmed while I was in 7th grade shortly before Father Derby left. Back in those olden days Confirmation day was also the same day we could participate in the Eucharist for the first time. After all the Confirmation classes, and learning about the

church, the main thing I got out of it was not to drop the wafer. All the words, and vows I made were overshadowed by my fear of dropping the wafer. I am so grateful when years later I was able to be a Confirmation Mentor and Reaffirmed my Faith.

Pastoral Letter from

Bishop Prince Singh

January 18, 2021 Dear saints,

“We are not enemies, but

friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.” Abe Lincoln’s words from his inauguration

in 1861. Fear of “the other” is the beginning of a domino

effect that sustains the cycle. In many societies, fear may be temporarily triggered by color or race. However, it eventually is colorblind in that it makes us turn on

even one’s own kind. Fear destroys us with a phantom imagination of normalized paranoia where Us becomes Them. Another President said: “...the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” Words from Franklin

Delano Roosevelt’s inaugural address in 1933, said in

the aftermath of the Great Depression. Morale was low and everything was bleak. Yet out of that bleakness shone a clear star of hope, a good epiphany. The effort needed to convert retreat into advance.

Have you noticed that the most common words of encouragement in scripture are

“Do not be afraid” or “Fear not?” It’s a primal reality

that we freeze, flee, or fight because of fear. As a nation, we are confused, afraid, and angry. All of us.

Epiphany 2021 will go down in our nation’s history as a

date that will live in infamy! It revealed a side of us that we are not proud of. Yet, it is a side that is a part of us. What is our way out of this loop of fear? If we can freeze, flee, or fight, then we can also unfreeze, stay, and even become curious. The immediate antidote for fear need not be love for the other. The needed

antidote for fear may well be acceptance of oneself. It is

the great baptismal affirmation, “You are God’s

beloved.” You and everyone else!

This is not a moment for righteous anger, but of gentle concern for oneself from within. You are loved. It is oxygen mask time. Metaphorically, without oxygen for yourself, there can be no oxygen for your neighbor. In the words of Rigoberto Menchu, “If you are in a good place, then you can help others; but if you are not well; then go look for someone who is in a good place who

can help you.” Let us get to a good place while we help somebody. Accountability can follow.

Therefore, on this day when we remember one of the greatest practitioners, the King of non-violence, who was in a good place, spiritually. I urge you to do the

most nonviolent thing and say to yourself, “I am loved,

and I am enough, just as I am. I have nothing to prove.”

I close with words seldom heard of King written from

the jail in Birmingham. “In deep disappointment, I have

wept...but, be assured that my tears have been tears of love. There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.” Let us weep deep tears of love and forgiveness for ourselves, our community, our church, our nation, and our world. Let us overcome our fears and let love be the final word for us and all who are around us.

We offer prayers of gratitude for President Trump and Vice President Pence and wish them Godspeed. We offer prayers for strength and wisdom to President-Elect Biden and Vice President-President-Elect Harris as they take on the reins of government. Personal thanks for all your prayers, cards, and comfort over the year since my Amma moved to Glory.

Last but not least, "GO BILLS!" With affection,

Prince
