A Message from Patrick

Holy Week Alone and Together

One of the most bitter truths about human suffering is the degree to which others can avert their glance or simply keep moving. "How it takes place," wrote W. H. Auden in a favorite poem of mine "while someone else is eating or opening a window of just walking dully along."

Part of the power of Holy Week is its capacity to make us stop and look. About fifteen of us finished, just a short time ago, our annual "Holy Wednesday" offering of the Stations of the Cross -- about 30 minutes, beginning at 10:00 am -- of mostly regarding fourteen images of Christ's passion and death which this week are on display in the church. We'll offer this service again this afternoon at 5:00 pm.

"The contemplation of these mighty acts," is language from one of the prayers we use in the service. The heart of this week is not about activity -- we can't, needless to say, undo or fix any of this -- as much as it is about showing up, watching, and witnessing. Thus are we renewed, made new. And perhaps our actions in the time to come will be different.

Early in my ordained career a wise older priest told me that a healthy faith life moves between three contexts: time alone, time in a small group, and time in a wider congregation of folks which should include perfect strangers. It's terrific guidance, and an understanding that sifts out those of us who are "religious" from those who identify as "spiritual." We need to be alone. And we need others. In various configurations.

Our Holy Week schedule gives you a chance to come to campus for all of the above. Folks have been walking the labyrinth in the Parish Hall since it opened on Monday (9:00 am through 3:00 pm today, tomorrow and Friday). You might choose to be in church alone or with a few others who will "keep vigil" though Thursday night into Friday morning after our Maundy Thursday service concludes at about 8:30 pm. Church will be open. I hope you will also be with us for prayers, hymns, preaching and shared silence on Good Friday (noon), for the lighting of the Easter Fire and an unforgettable Vigil service (Saturday, 7:00-8:30 pm) and as part of the crowd we anticipate to share the best possible new on the Sunday of the Resurrection (10:00 am; outdoor egg hunt and Eggs Benedict Brunch to follow!).

In Eastertide you may also wish to consider my mentor's perspective. Are you too much alone? Not alone enough? In need of a small group to support and possibly to challenge you? My favorite post-Resurrection question is a short one: "What's next?"

With every good wish for the remainder of Holy Week and Easter!

Faithfully,

Coming up......

Wardens' Report

March started right off with the long anticipated arrival of our new Associate Rector Nancy Hagnar, the moving van arriving during the unforgettable Blizzard of ’26. What a dramatic beginning! Your Vestry, supporting Cris Harter and her welcome team, cared for Nancy and helped in any way needed as she moved in and got settled. Our joy at her arrival spilled over into a wonderful reception following morning worship on her first Sunday with us, March 8. We are so delighted that she has joined us! We look forward to being with Nancy for the next three years, enjoying her companionship, wisdom, and leadership. 

The blizzard also had an effect on our Vestry schedule. We had to cancel the February meeting and finally met on March 17. It was the first meeting for our newest members. We happily welcomed Fay Cole, Dan Lowery and Karen Sweeney to the group. We look forward to having them share their energy, love of CHS, and knowledge with us. Karen will be a Vestry liaison with the Outreach committee, Dan to Building and Grounds and Fay to Hospitality. Keep them in your prayers. We are so thankful for their willingness to serve.

On the evening of Friday, March 24, the Vestry gathered at the home of Priscilla and Michael Isner for the start of our annual Vestry Retreat. A delicious dinner was followed by time getting to know each other as we begin our work together. On Saturday we met again, at the church, to continue our work. The task before us, outlined by Patrick, was to reflect on the past three years at CHS and then to plan and dream about the next three. It was a creative and energized discussion with some exciting results. We are looking forward to the future and sharing those dreams with you.

Coming up quickly is the Rummage Sale on May 1 and 2. This event is a great way to work together on a common task. It is a gift to the community, and all proceeds will now be given to Outreach . If you are new to the Parish, or have never participated, consider joining the fun. It genuinely is a terrific time for a good cause! You will hear more soon.

So much is going on at CHS! The energy is amazing. There are new people to greet each week, to warmly include in our fellowship. There is so much to give thanks for. Our hearts are full.

 If you ever have any questions or concerns, we want to hear from you. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

Thank you for your support and prayers,

Dianne Fromm and Priscilla Isner, Wardens

Music at CHS

The Belladonnas participated in the Cape Cod Spring Ring, a gathering of handbell choirs sponsored by our regional handbell organization on Saturday, March 21, at the Community Center in Harwich. Four choirs joined in rehearsing and presenting pieces they had been practicing separately. Plus, each group presented a solo piece. Thanks to those who attended and those who support us when we provide occasional preludes at home!

Church School News

The Eucharist class with Ruth is nearing its completion, with recognition for the participants on Sunday, April 12. The class will be gathering on Saturday, April 11 to tour the church and make bread for all to share during communion on Sunday!! 

This week the youth will all be walking our own smaller Labyrinth that was painted by loving hands from our church!  We will take some time for quiet contemplation.  

After the worship service on Easter Sunday, there will be an Easter egg hunt on the parish grounds. There will also be an Eggs Benedict Brunch put together by the Thompsons and other helping hands from the parish. 🙂 

Just a note: All of the students in the church school are working on art to be displayed in June in the reception room!  Pia Mackenzie has been working with the students on large collages!  

We at church school are so thankful for all who donate their time and energy. Currently, Katharine Mockett is the door keeper for the Godly Play class, and Linda Mason has been joining us in song on the third Sunday of each month!!  

Patiently waiting for the Alleluiahs to return... The Church School Team!!

Sunday Book Discussion Group

The Book Discussion group is currently reading Stolen Pride by Arlie Russell Hochschild.  We are about halfway through the book as we write this. We think we can speak for the group when we say that Arlie has given us a series of portraits of the people of Pikeville, Kentucky, that make us feel as though we know them. This book is giving us the opportunity to understand their perspectives (and they are not uniform) and empathize with each of them. What a gift!

"Arlie Hochshcild reveals what liberals miss - that the moral emotions of pride and shame animate the resentment that roils our politics. This is the best book yet on the moral and political psychology of the new right, a master class in the art of listening across our cultural and political divides." - Michael J. Sandel, author of the Tyranny of Merit: Can we Find the Common Good?

"Stolen Pride is a masterpiece of epic proportions. Her account of a small, struggling Appalachian community's response to a parade of out-of-state-white nationalists provides a glimmer of hope for our fragile democracy, even in the face of political polarization, economic inequality, racism, and the nonrational, emotional dimension of political identity and mobilization. My advice to everyone is: read this book." - Shaunna L. Scott, Associate Professor Emerita of Sociology, University of Kentucky and Former President of the Appalachian Studies Association

Buildings and Grounds

We experienced continuing rough weather affecting our campus in March, as you all experienced. Many tree limbs and some trees had to be removed by Wayne and Russ, our stalwart team who so lovingly care for our campus. The rectory grounds had a tree on the garage, plus much debris on the lawns. Our main campus suffered also but was cleaned up by the Garden Party folks, in addition to Wayne and Russ.

The Parish Hall is renewed by fresh paint on both floors and in all bathrooms. Additionally, we have new brighter lights in our Fireplace Room.

This March saw some major heat losses as electrical surges created havoc, causing power outages at the coldest time. We were fortunate to make it through without any damage. We have since installed a surge protector in the Seaside Alarm System electronics board. We've also protected the entire electrical system in the Parish Hall in a similar fashion.

Future projects will include the stairs to the rectory as a safety issue has been identified. We also will be re-shingling the Monument Road side of the church, from the reception room through the west transept ,as weather permits. We have numerous cedar shingles that are curling or broken, allowing heat loss and possible water intrusion. We are employing preventative maintenance philosophy before we suffer a major breakdown.

Spring has sprung, well, sort of! March 21 saw our first Garden Party, but there have been other efforts going on behind the scenes, as well. We met, we raked, and we picked up sticks. Much of the multiple parking lots were cleared of the winter sand and sticks, thanks to Michael Isner! Our hard-working crew included Celia Calhoun, Chuck Dow, Rich Gregory, Susan McDormand, Peter Jensen, Jeanne deCervens, Michael Isner and yours truly!

Peter gave us some VERY useful guidance. For instance, who knew the dirt temperature is only 30 degrees? Not a time to be planting. We raked most of the grass area to ‘wake up’ the grass by clearing debris and winter-killed grass.

And if you have questions…no, we did not rake leaves from around shrubs. No,we did not deadhead most of our shrubs and flowers. That will all come in April, along with weeding and pruning, among other things.

New this year: I have a full schedule of dates for the future months. Please think of joining us! I promise snacks, good humor, new friends, and a new knowledge of the beauty we have at CHS.

Next Garden Parties all Saturdays: April 11, May9, June 20, July 25, August 22, Sept. 26, October 24, November 14.

So mark your calendars and join us!

Thank you for your support!

CHS Gallery

The featured artist for the month of April is Leanne McLaughlin.

Enjoy Leanne’s show - IN MY TRAVELS!

"I am so very proud and happy for this beautiful young woman………..I have known her since her growing years in the CHS church school and youth group………her creative

giving spirit/gifts/talents then and now." -Sharyn Laughton - Curator

Leanne McLaughlin is a multi-disciplinary artist living in Orleans. She is currently enrolled at school at 4C’s and will be transferring to another institution in the fall where she will earn a Bachelor’s Degree in English with a focus on Creative Writing. In 2022, she produced and acted in a feature film, “Strange Kindness” that won the Best New England Feature award at the Boston Underground Film Festival. 

During the winter of 2020, Leanne’s partner gave her an old Canon camera so she could begin taking photos, an interest she had for a long time but lacked the tools. With a new-to-her camera in hand, Leanne began shooting on 35mm film. Her camera remains a ready-to-use object in her house and is never left behind when she travels. 

This collection is a celebration of two trips to Ireland that were taken in 2022 and 2023, as well as a trip to Sedona last winter. During those trips, Leanne and her partner shot over 40 rolls of 35mm and medium format film, with a roll of infrared and Lomochrome Purple thrown in for fun. 

Leanne believes that shooting with her old Canon allows her to be more present with the land. She is observing and collecting special moments to reflect on later. At the end of each trip, she makes a photo book celebrating all of the places she has traveled and all of the beautiful things she has seen.

Watch over thy children, O'Lord, as their days increase..

Bless and guide them wherever they may be

keeping them unspotted from the world.

Strengthen them when they stand.

comfort them when discouraged or sorrowful; raise them up if they fall.

And in their hearts, may thy peace, which passes all understanding,

Abide all the days of their lives.
