A Message from Nancy

Spring on the Cape

 

Several of you have joked with me that there really is no spring on the Cape…that we go from winter to March greys and chills, and then finally directly into summer in June. It seemed like that might indeed be the case, until the past couple of weeks. For me, the profusion of daffodils and forsythia all abloom with their vibrant, hopeful yellows are the signs of spring and Easter and new life. Thanks be to God that we have these non-native, but thankfully, non-invasive guests who color our Eastertide with their beauty and simple, generous charms. 

 

As a child, living in the mid-Atlantic with my siblings, forsythia were really important. We had three bushes planted in a row along the edge of our property facing the street. They grew straight up each spring, probably because my father cut them almost to the ground every year when my mother wasn’t looking. But when they were blooming and then going to leaf, they stood tall and weirdly sort of seed shaped, or if you were my brother and sister and me—rocket shaped! We waited all year for them to bloom, and then we would crawl inside them…and pretend for hours that we were astronauts launching to the moon or to Mars or beyond. Each of us was in our own bright yellow space ship, communicating about the journey; our imaginations on fire about what might be possible.

 

I am so very grateful to be here with you all in THIS season of forsythia, hope, and Easter news. Alleluia! Christ is Risen! As we hear and proclaim this news, this promise from God that death is overcome. May we rejoice together in community seeing all that might be possible as we seek to serve Christ in all people. I am eager to see the world’s most spectacular Rummage Sale and the liftoff of Food 4 Kids, and experience all the things we are doing at Holy Spirit this spring to embody God’s love for the world. 

 

Faithfully yours,

Wardens' Report

What a wonderful month April has been at CHS! It began right away with Holy Week. From the triumphal parade of palms on Palm Sunday, to the meditative Labyrinth in Parish Hall, the two gatherings for Stations of the Cross, Maundy Thursday’s remembrance of the Last Supper with foot washing, the quiet and somber Good Friday service, the Easter Vigil with fire, bells and light, and finally a glorious festival service on Easter Sunday. Such a progression, the journey from triumph to defeat and final victory and resurrection!


The community was joined by many new faces during the week, culminating in a joyful Easter with the children’s egg hunt and breakfast of eggs benedict, lovingly prepared and shared by the Thompson family. We are thankful for their gift of hospitality and generosity. It was the perfect way to end a memorable week together. Thank you, too, for those who served to create a lasting memory for all of us, including Joan and the Choir, the Altar Guild, the Ushers, Wayne and Matthew, the AV Techs, Debbi, and of course, Patrick and Nancy.

Another highlight this month was our celebration of the young people who participated in a class led by Ruth Campbell and Patrick. The class explored the church and learned about the Eucharist. The children received the elements with their families on Sunday, April 12, with a cake reception at coffee hour. It was a special celebration of our own Anda, Wesley, Liv, Simon, Manolo, Quinn, and Sylvia.

  

Peter Jensen, of Terra Luna Landscape, was a guest at the vestry meeting on April 21. He explained that our ongoing efforts to make the church campus environmentally responsible has resulted in an invitation to become a member of the Surfrider Foundation, an organization that identifies environmentally friendly spaces. We are the first church to to be listed as “ocean safe", an honor the vestry voted to accept.


Another issue brought to the vestry for discussion was the recommendation by the Building and Grounds Committee to rebuild the ramp entrance to the Parish Hall. The project was unanimously approved.

A lot of energy is now being devoted to the upcoming Rummage Sale, May 1 and 2, headed by our dedicated and talented team of Brian Schnetzer, Suzy Gray, and Meg Nemitz. As much of the work as possible is being done ahead of time--sorting, pricing, and storing. A stalwart group of volunteers has answered the call to pitch in and help several days a week. So much “rummage” has been dropped off that a storage unit was needed and is now filled to the brim. The event looks to be bigger and better than ever, with all proceeds being given to our Outreach Committee . Not only is the sale a benefit to the community, it is also great fun, and a way to get to know one another as we continue to become "beloved "community".


Thank you for your support and prayers,

Dianne and Priscilla

May - October Neighborhood Tables sign-up is now!

 

Sometimes the winter months seemed endless for those of us who endured, but here we are, with warmer months around the corner. Welcome back to our faithful seasonal members, we missed you! A lot has happened while you were away. You will love our new Associate Rector, Nancy Hagner.

 

Neighborhood Tables was first created in fall 2024, providing an opportunity for small groups of parishioners to meet others in a home setting. Feedback indicates that Neighborhood Tables is accomplishing its goal of parishioners getting to know one another beyond the casual connections made at coffee hour. 

 

Please call or email Debbi Manning to sign up for this next round of Neighborhood Tables (NT). If you are in an NT group and want to continue with a new group, you must sign up again by May 9th. There will also be a sign-up clipboard in the Parish Hall. Every effort will be made to create groups of people who haven’t been together before.

 

We hope more of you, especially newcomers, will participate! Contact one of us with any questions—

 

Celia Calhoun, Dianne Fromm, Cynthia Murray


The Good Friday Walk

Since our beginning in 1985, every year and every walk has had its challenges and differences, but the support and generosity of The parishioners at CHS have been constant and uplifting. Each year has also had its rewards. This year, more than sixty walkers participated, and, to my surprise and joy, many were high schoolers who took the day off from school to walk and attend Good Friday services.

One dedicated young man who took the time to read the scriptural posters at each station aloud, while those with him listened. Others who joined us this year were four families who we support through the walk. Not only did they join us, but they helped at three of the six stations on the walk, guiding the walkers to keep to the trail. One of the mothers, whose son has suffered from PANDAS disease, took some great photos of the walkers while helping at the first station.


It is very gratifying to have been blessed to be involved with The Good Friday Walk all these many years and to have the continued and unwavering support of my Holy Spirit family throughout this time. Thank You all once again and may God’s peace and blessings be with you all now and always!!

Church School News

April has been a busy month! 


Hanna, Raven, Robin, Brooke and a few others joined up at the Good Friday Walk to remember... and raise money for United People For Kids!  


We had an Easter egg hunt prior to the now annual Eggs Benedict Brunch!  

Both were well attended! Gray helped us hide so, so many eggs!


All of the Godly play group participated in a Holy Eucharist Class Led by Ruth and Katharine with individual collage art supported by Pia M. This class culminated in a tour of the church grounds with Patrick, as well as making the host for the Sunday service where their five weeks of work was recognized! We are so proud of all seven of you! We are equally as proud of the grown ups that brought you to these classes and studied with you along the way! 🙂 

 

We have had several visits from our new Associate Priest Nancy and look forward to many more! 


Matt Thompson is once again headed to the Barbara Harris camp in May with any and all who would like to join him. If you have questions or interest, please contact Matt for more details.

Sara Miles is the founder and director of the Food Pantry and serves as Director of Ministry at St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco. She has written for The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, Salon, and has been interviewed on NPR.


“A memoir that blew me away…I am going to foist this on every single hard-core left-wing religious nut I know. And make no mistake: there are many of us.” Anne Lamott, TIME


“Grittier than many religious memoirs, Miles’ story is a perceptive account of one woman’s wholehearted, activist faith.” Publishers Weekly


Please join us in the Fireplace Room on Sundays after coffee hour!

Cheryl Kyle’s Cottage

5:30pm


All are welcome. We will be discussing “The Power of One” by Bryce Courtenay. 


“Totally engrossing… presents the metamorphosis of a most remarkable young man and the almost spiritual influence he has on others… Peekay has both humor and a refreshingly earthy touch, and his adventures, at times, are hair-raising in their suspense.” -Los Angeles Times Book Review


A taco salad dinner will be served. Please bring your beverage of choice. Also, book recommendations for our summer meetings are warmly welcome. 

Please RSVP cherylkyle@aol.com


Buildings and Grounds

Buildings & Grounds has recommended resurfacing the slippery wood surface walkway that is a side entrance and second ADA entrance to our parish hall. Fincom and vestry have approved this work, and it will commence shortly,


Our trusty Russ Karber is wrapping up painting the campus-wide wrought iron railings as weather permits. 


Once the stairs to the rectory are in place, an improved aluminum handrail will be installed. 


Our entire parking lot surface was scrubbed free of copious sand this month . 


Stay tuned for new projects under consideration with the goal of improved safety and better space usage. 

Grounds

 We are off to a great start, with wonderful volunteers for the 2nd Garden Party!

They shoveled, lugged stones, raked, trimmed, laughed, smiled, shared coffee and snacks and more. And it was sunny!


As for the other work, Peter & Michael were very busy with the new stairs to the rectory-they look fabulous, and we hear this should prevent the ever-present weeds and the need to pull them. Thank you, Peter!


If you haven’t taken a stroll around our gorgeous campus, I would urge you to do so soon. We could almost host our own ‘daffodils in bloom’ event. Spring flowers and the new, soft green of the emerging plants are just striking.

 

And to this great crew, a huge thank you--Meredith Perkins, Michael Isner, Celia Calhoun, Chuck Dow, Rich Gregory, Susan McDormand, Peter Jensen, Jeanne deCervens, Dann Jung, Roger Lovejoy, Carol Baffi-Dugan, and yours truly, Ann Pike-Paris!

 

If this has enticed you, even just a little, please consider joining us for one of the upcoming dates. **Note: May’s date has shifted to Saturday, May 30.

Next Garden Parties--all Saturdays: May 30th; June 20th; July 25th; August 22nd; Sept. 26th; October 17th; Nov. 14th. So mark your calendars and join us!

Outreach


At a recent Outreach Committee meeting, Kathy Baldwin, Advancement Director at Latham Centers, Inc., visited shared what's happening at the Latham campus, located in Brewster.


The Latham School began in 1970 as a therapeutic residential program for girls aged 8–22 who had traumatic backgrounds and behavioral issues. Since then, Latham has evolved into a coed program for children and adults with complex special needs and Prader-Willi Syndrome.


PWS is a genetic disorder that results in lifelong cognitive limitations, behavioral issues, and insatiable appetite. Without food-security and the proper treatment, PWS is a life-threatening condition with no known cure. In addition to diagnoses such as Autism Spectrum Disorders, PWS, Reactive Attachment Disorder, PTSD and mood disorders, students at the Latham School have mild to moderate developmental delays. 


One of the Latham Clinicians, Carlyn Setchell, spoke animatedly about her therapeutic work with the students in residence. Of particular interest was her use of a treatment called Sand Tray Therapy which can help to heal memories of latent or repressed trauma with children who are unable to verbalize what they have experienced. Sand play requires specialized training and equipment, including sand trays, tables, extensive variety of miniatures, and, ideally, a special room for sand tray therapy only. Following this presentation, the Outreach Committee voted to award Latham a grant to purchase a sand tray and/or some other sand play materials.


For many years, individuals and groups from our Outreach Committee have been visiting the Latham School campus and volunteering with students and staff--potting plants and arranging flowers, horseback riding and care, and leading on-campus worship services at the Latham School.

The Outreach Ministry Fair will be held on Sunday, May 17 immediately following the service in the Parish Hall. There will be representatives from 19 of the organizations we are currently helping to support. Please come and get to know some of the wonderful people who are working hard to meet the growing needs of people in our community. Edye Nesmith, Executive Director of the Cape Cod Council of Churches, will be the guest speaker at our service. Please come and stay!

Our May meeting is May 7th, the first Thursday of the month. Volunteers for that gathering are: Chips: Joannie Barnes; Paper Goods: Andi Stubbendick; Juice or Tea; Nancy Ludewig, and Dessert, Sarah Barkhuff.

CHS Gallery

This May, some of Tom Faulkner’s sculpture will be on display in the church’s reception room. Known for his large-scale site-specific sculpture, Tom's often provocative work has been reviewed in many national publications. The works presented at CHS, although smaller in scale, also address the intersection of faith and issues of social justice, concerns at the forefront of much of Tom’s work. 


Tom will also have an exhibit of sculpture, themed on our country’s 250th anniversary, at The Commons in Provincetown, starting on Labor Day weekend.


This April, his ‘Eternity Series’ of photographs, first exhibited at CHS last year, was shown at the Turner Gallery in the Eastham Public Library and received a feature art review in the April 22nd edition of The Provincetown Independent.

In addition to their commitments at Holy Spirit, Tom is a volunteer naturalist at The Audubon Sanctuary in Wellfleet, and together with his wife Brenda, serve as peace marshalls at Indivisible demonstrations and with the Postcard Brigade advocating for fair and honest elections. Their Christian faith supports and informs all that they do.
