Greetings!
Mark 1:14-20
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.’
As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake—for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, ‘Follow me and I will make you fish for people.’ And immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him.

Sermons and Reflections
This is a sermon on "How It Works, Epiphany 3(B)." It is written by The Rev. Dr. Amy Richter and is published in "Sermons that Work," on the website of the Episcopal Church in the United States. The Gospel from Mark is above and the other readings for this Sunday may be found by clicking on the "Readings for this Sunday" blue button above.
How It Works, Epiphany 3 (B) - January 24, 2021
“Jesus said to them, ‘Follow me and I will make you fish for people.’ And immediately they left their nets and followed him.”
That’s all we get in today’s Gospel lesson to describe how Jesus called his first disciples and how they responded. That’s it. In just seven verses our Gospel writer says four fishermen drop everything and follow Jesus on the basis of his two-word command: Follow me.
Mark, our Gospel writer, is known for his terse, staccato style. In his telling of the Good News, he shows us a Jesus on the move, Jesus who does everything immediately. (The word “immediately” occurs twice in today’s little story. It occurs about 27 times in the whole Gospel.) Mark gives us just the details we need, and the result is a fast-paced, streamlined account of who Jesus is, what Jesus does, and how people respond.
So, it’s no wonder that today we hear Jesus give a command, and these four fishermen respond immediately.
For some of us, the lack of details is frustrating. We want to know: What were they thinking? What motivated the fishermen? How could they really drop everything to follow?
For others, the lack of details is inviting—our imaginations fill in the gaps. Perhaps Simon was bored that day. The nets had been coming up empty, the wind was too strong to go out far from shore, so why not just leave the nets and follow this man who seemed to need him for something? Perhaps James never really felt like he was cut out for fishing. It was the family business, so of course, he was doing what was expected of him, but really, maybe it was time he stood up for himself and told his father he wanted to try something new, put down the nets, and do his own thing for a change. And Andrew, perhaps he saw something in Jesus’s face when he spoke that intrigued him. Maybe.
We are not told. Apparently, the Gospel writer doesn’t think it matters what they were thinking or feeling. What matters is that Jesus said, “Follow me,” and that’s what they did. We may wish there were more to it than that. We may wish we knew what it was about them that made them so willing to take risks, so free to respond, so able to walk away from the familiar, from the security of the predictable to go off into an unknown future with a man they hardly knew. But we don’t know.
And because Mark doesn’t tell us, we have to entertain the possibility that Mark is saying that this really is the way Jesus gets followed: without all the facts, without really knowing what Jesus is up to or where exactly he’s going, or why he wants us to follow him. Jesus says, “Follow me,” and that’s enough. Jesus says, “Follow me,” and we do.
Or we don’t. Whether we think that Jesus is calling us to undertake even just one task, become more like him in one small way, give up one familiar habit to do something he wants us to do, let alone if following Jesus might mean making large sacrifices, large changes, life-altering plans, it’s hard for us to conceive of the possibility of following on the basis of a simple command. We are not uncomplicated fishermen, we say, as if any human life is uncomplicated. We are responsible people, we say. We must make our decisions carefully, we say, weigh our options. Our decisions take research; our values need clarification. We can’t just rush into things. We can’t afford to change the directions of our lives merely on the basis of a very vague proposal, let alone just because Jesus tells us to. Really, it would be easier to follow Jesus if we had a different job, a different spouse, if we were single, if we didn’t have children, if we had different friends, a different income.
Discerning the call to follow can be tricky because part of what we try to figure out is when Jesus is calling us to come away from the specifics of our lives in order to follow, and when Jesus is calling us because of the specifics of our lives, that is, because we have the job we have, because we are who we are. Jesus told those fishermen, “I will make you fish for people.” He didn’t say, “I really need accountants, but you’ll have to do.” It may be that he’s saying to you, “I really need you to follow me in your job.” “I really need you to follow me in your marriage.” “I really need you to conform your family life to a way that allows you to follow me.” “I really need you to follow me when you’re with your friends.” “I really need you to use your talents to help in my kingdom, to help in my church, to help in my world.”
Today’s story is a little unnerving, a little unsettling. Mark seems to be saying that whether we follow by making big changes or small, following means giving things up, just like that. Mark seems to be saying this is how one follows Jesus: without all the details, without taking time to consider all the options, without having much of a road map, beyond putting one foot in front of the other and seeing where Jesus takes you. Can we do it?
Today’s gospel story is about a decisive moment in the lives of four fishermen, when Jesus called them to follow and they said yes. But even after they said yes, they had to keep listening. Jesus kept calling them to the next thing, the next way for them to follow. Same with us: we are called again and again to follow, to put aside what’s occupying us, and be about Jesus’ business instead.
Since it’s Jesus who calls us to follow—whether it’s to go halfway around the world or to do one thing for Jesus today right where we live, trust this: Jesus won’t lead us astray or abandon us. God has given the Church, including this particular church, the gift of the Scriptures, the story of Jesus and the Christian community, to form us and guide us. God has given us the sacraments and God’s promise to be with us and nourish us for God’s service in the bread and wine we share together. God has given us the promise to be with us even when just two or three are gathered together in the name of Jesus Christ. All these things make our willingness to follow not just about risk, but about promise as well.
When Jesus called those first four fishermen, they didn’t make demands and they didn’t ask for guarantees, they just left their nets and followed. But later in the gospel, when maybe they were rethinking their decision, Jesus gives them a promise. What happens is this: Simon Peter said to Jesus, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.” Jesus responds, “Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age—houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life” (Mark 10:28-30).
Today Jesus says to each of us, “Follow me.”

Transition Update
Worship Info in RED Below
The Grace Vestry recently had a virtual meeting with Bishop Laura Ahrens, for the purpose of discussing the future of Grace Church. A summary of the meeting by our Vestry, as provided to parishioners at the virtual coffee hour following the Grace Zoom service Sunday, January 3rd, follows. This is your editor's recollection of the report and future clarifications may well be made.
Bishop Ahrens advised the Vestry that due to the our financial situation, Grace is not considered able to search for a new priest. We need to begin consideration of other options. This decision was made by our Diocese in part because the larger percentage of our operating income comes from users of our facilities and not from parishioner contributions. It must be stressed that Grace parishioners are very generous and consistent in their pledging and contributions; there are just not enough of us to provide a larger percentage of operating income. Although our finances have been in the black for several months, this is in large part due to the fact that we are not currently paying a priest.
The initial options presented to the Vestry were:
Explore joining with another parish in the area, most likely selling the Grace property, and transferring proceeds from assets (amount available for transfer to be determined by our Diocese) to the other parish and merge into the other parish. This option is not limited to Trumbull churches; parishes in surrounding towns are also an option. Of course, this is entirely dependent upon another church's willingness to work with Grace to accomplish this. The hope with this option is that the joining of two churches will bring new opportunities for worship and new resources for community service. It is expected that the assets of Grace are highly valued and Grace will be able to provide significant financial assets to a partner church. This option requires a commitment by most of our parishioners to agree to go to the partner church as a group. If this option is selected, Grace is responsible for arranging the sale of the Grace property and assets and handling the closing of the facilities.
The other option is that Grace close and our parishioners then choose to go to whatever church they wish to attend. Some of us could very well go the to same church but there is no requirement for that. In this case, our Diocese arranges the sale and closing of Grace and all Grace assets from the sale are transferred to our Diocese.
Our senior warden, Fiona asks that we all give this some thought and begin exploring area churches. This is the first step. If you are able, please plan to attend a virtual service this Sunday and/or view a prerecorded service of an area church. Most churches that offer virtual worship have Facebook and links may be found on their websites. Keep in mind that we are in the research stage of this transition and have not approached any other churches yet as to their interest level in having Grace join them. Churches that have Zoom services or virtual services linked on Facebook welcome participation by guests. Some area churches are Christ Church Tashua, Trinity Nichols, St. Peter's Monroe and Christ Church Easton. Some churches are also without priests and are also in transition. This list is not all inclusive and suggestions to our Vestrypersons are welcomed.
Keep in mind that you may also view past services at various neighboring parishes on-line, usually on the parish's Facebook page.
Fiona asked that we begin with St. Peter's Monroe and then Trinity Nichols and we have now watched services from those two churches on Facebook Virtual visits with other churches will follow and this Sunday, the Vestry suggested that we view/Zoom with Christ Church Tashua. Fiona writes the following:
From Fiona: This Sunday we will again be doing church differently at Grace. At the suggestion of the Diocese as a way to help discern the direction for Grace, the Vestry has decided to take some time over the next few weeks to visit churches in the area as a way to expand our church experience and to find out how others are doing church. We will be virtually visiting a sister/brother parish in the area for this Sunday's worship. We will not have our usual virtual worship at Grace, Trumbull. We will however, have a Grace, Trumbull, virtual coffee and social hour to chat and share our experiences. All are invited to join the coffee hour. It does not matter if you have attended a church service. All are welcome to gather with us virtually to connect.
This Sunday we will be attending the virtual service at Christ Church, Tashua. They do a Zoom and Facebook live virtual. The service is at 9:00 a.m. and is accessed through the link on their website under the tab services (then click on Sunday service). https://www.christchurchtrumbull.org/
or click the blue button below.
We will have our Grace Church virtual coffee hour following the service at 10:30 to chat and catch up. The zoom link for the coffee hour is below.
See you all Sunday, Peace Fiona, Sr. Warden

Episcopalians join in prayers for new administration as Biden is inaugurated as US president
By David Paulsen and Egan Millard
Posted 23 hours ago
[Episcopal News Service] Episcopalians across the church on Jan. 20 joined in prayers for the new administration as Joseph R. Biden Jr. was sworn in at noon as the 46th president of the United States.
In his inaugural address, Biden drew from Scripture and his own faith in calling for a unified national response to the “cascading crises” facing America, from the COVID-19 pandemic to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol to climate change to rampant disinformation. Projecting perseverance and hope, Biden urged Americans to be civil in their disagreements and join forces to defeat the coronavirus, extremism, hatred and lies.
“We must end this un-civil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal. We can do this if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts.”
“Teach our leaders to love,” Curry said in the vigil. “Grant them and grant us your loving, liberating and life-giving spirit. Move our hearts and then show us the way to break down barriers that divide, to make suspicions disappear and hatreds to cease. There are divisions being healed, wrongs being righted. We may learn to live in justice, love and peace.”

CT To Prioritize Elderly, Most Vulnerable, In Vaccine Rollout
"...we are working to roll this out in a way that gets the vaccine to the people who are at greatest risk first," Gov. Ned Lamont said.
Posted Tue, Jan 19, 2021 at 4:29 pm ET, Updated Tue, Jan 19, 2021 at 4:48 pm ET
CONNECTICUT —The state will adopt a new "tiered approach" to the vaccine rollout, Gov. Ned Lamont announced Tuesday due to a limited supply of the coronavirus vaccine.
The distribution will prioritize the remaining groups in phase 1b based on risk of adverse health outcomes from the virus.
Lamont said he is directing the implementation be done in an "equitable way," with vaccine distribution points focused in areas where residents and communities have barriers to access and care.
The tiered approach to Phase 1b will proceed as follows:
- Scheduling now: People over the age of 75
- Scheduling next (likely early February): People between the ages of 65 and 74
- Scheduling soon (likely late February or early March): Frontline essential workers and people with underlying medical conditions who have an increased risk for severe illness
The rollout of the vaccine to staff and residents of congregate living settings will be phased in throughout phase 1b.
"We are working to administer the vaccine to as many people as possible, but the greatest barrier continues to be our supply as we are only scheduled to receive about 45,000 doses of the vaccine per week, while 1.4 million people are eligible under phase 1b,"Lamont said. "That is why we are working to roll this out in a way that gets the vaccine to the people who are at greatest risk first.
"The good news is that we are seeing an overwhelming number of people in our state who want to receive the vaccine – and that is a key component of keeping our residents safe from COVID-19," Lamont added. "In the meantime, our administration will continue doing everything we can to get more doses of the vaccine into Connecticut as quickly as possible."

CT Coronavirus Vaccine Demand Greatly Exceeds Supply: Lamont
All Connecticut first responders and nursing home residents have gotten their first dose and another 24,000 have gotten their second dose.
Posted Wed, Jan 20, 2021 at 6:04 am ET, Updated Wed, Jan 20, 2021 at 12:05 pm ET
CONNECTICUT — Demand for the coronavirus vaccine in Connecticut greatly exceeds supply, Gov. Ned Lamont announced at a news conference Tuesday.
Connecticut is among the top five in the country in vaccine distribution, having administered 221,000 doses to date, Lamont said. An additional 50,000 doses of the vaccine were expected to arrive in the state by Wednesday.
All first responders and nursing home residents in the state have gotten their first dose, and another 24,000 have received their second dose, according to the governor.
The vaccine is currently being distributed to people 75 and older and Lamont said people 65 and older will be vaccinated "in a couple of weeks," followed by front-line workers and people with high-risk conditions in February and early March.
The seven-day positive coronavirus test rate in the state was 5.3 percent on Tuesday. That's the lowest it has been since early December. The daily positive test rate was 5.65 percent, and there have been 27 more hospitalizations over the three-day weekend, officials said.
The good news was not confined to just Connecticut.
"Rhode Island, Massachusetts and even New York are stabilizing or even bending the curve a little bit," Lamont said.
The sunnier local coronavirus news came on a day when the nation passed a dark milestone of 400,000 COVID-19 deaths nationwide.

A word from the brothers of the Society of Saint John the Evangelist
Life Together
Life together is the best … except when it’s not. Life together will reveal our “control issues,” and expose us at our best and at our worst, and a lot of mediocre in between. Struggles are signs of invitation as we live out our lifelong conversion to Christ. Look on the people to whom you belong and remind yourself: “I need you.” And that will make all the difference.

ECCT Stories: Joining Jesus: An Update from Camp Washington
Written by Bart Geissinger, Executive Director at Camp Washington.
Thanks to the generosity of participating parishes and individual donors across the regions of the ECCT, Camp Washington is moving forward with plans to enhance programming and improve our facilities as we continue providing opportunities that form disciples of all ages for this new missional age.
As outlined in the Joining Jesus: Camp Washington Case for Support, the camp’s board of directors identified a list of projects and priorities that would further establish Camp as a primary resource for Christian formation and discipleship for children and adults in Connecticut and beyond.
Work has started on several facilities projects and program enhancements:
Tree work and land clearing is underway for the spring arrival of a year-round greenhouse on upper campus that will compliment camp’s current programming around farm to table meals, local food insecurity, and sustainable living.
The old Summer Camp program office (a repurposed, dilapidated garage) has been removed to make way for a new small barn structure to safely accommodate the summer program leadership. This space serves as the central hub for counselors and staff to meet, as well as the office for parent and guest interaction. This new, functional space sets a tone of professionalism for staff and guests.
Plans are being approved and site work will soon begin on the construction of a large open outdoor pavilion and gathering space on upper campus. This building will provide Camp much needed multi- functional outdoor space for dining, gathering, worship, and more. This covered space will be a year-round blessing during inclement weather. The pavilion will be a pivotal welcoming presence as guests arrive to campus and will provide a safe outdoor space in which to gather.
The Camp Washington staff and board are excited to share these plans with you, and will continue to provide periodic updates and reports of our progress. As we begin construction in the spring we will share photographs and updates on our website and through ECCT communications. Phase Two projects include plans for the relocation of Camp’s maintenance space/building to a new two-bay garage/barn allowing for dedicated space, and upgrades to the existing Art Barn.
