St. Peter’s Parish Post February 2011
The Light of Christ in the World—Uniting with our Moravian Brothers and Sisters in Christ
Who are the Moravians and why am I writing about them in the Parish Post? And why will I be traveling almost 250 miles on February 10th to Bethlehem, PA?
The Episcopal Church and The Moravian Church are now in full communion with one another. Churches who are in full communion with one another share the same essential doctrines and ministries.
The Moravian Church is one of the oldest Protestant denominations in the world, dating back to 1497 in Europe and having grown out of the earliest reformation movement in Europe in the 15th century, known as the First Reformation, which took place in Bohemia and Moravia. The first Moravians came to America in 1735. The Moravian Church in North America website states that “The Moravian Church, whose motto is, “In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things love,” has strong traditions of ecumenical work, missionary endeavors and creativity in music and worship. The Moravian Church in North America includes more than 150 congregations in the U.S. and Canada. The Unitas Fratrum — the worldwide Moravian Church — counts nearly 795,000 members.”
Our General Convention in 2009 approved the relationship of full communion with the Moravians, and then in 2010 the Provincial Synods of the Northern and Southern Provinces of the Moravian Church in North America approved full communion. If you want to read the whole report, “Finding Our Delight in the Lord: “ go to A Proposal for Full Communion Between the Episcopal Church, the Moravian Church-Northern Province and the Moravian Church-Southern Province.
So with great joy I will be traveling to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on February 10th to participate in a service which will celebrate the full communion between The Episcopal Church and the Northern and Southern Provinces of the Moravian Church in North America.
This service is especially meaningful for me because I will be there with my sister, Lynnette Delbridge, who has been an ordained minister in the Moravian Church for over twenty-five years now. She and her husband, Andrew Meckstroth, who is also an ordained Moravian minister, are the pastors of Castleton Hill Moravian Church in Staten Island, New York.
Both my sister and I learned about the Moravians and experienced their worship and music when we were students at Salem College, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This college began as a school for the education of young Moravian women in the Moravian settlement of Salem, whose inhabitants had migrated from Bethlehem, PA, into the foothills of North Carolina.
It was at Salem that I first heard the Moravian brass bands and sang Moravian chorale tunes, ate sugar cake and Moravian sugar cookies, saw Moravian stars hung in the arched doorways, and in worshipping with the Moravians, experienced the very powerful Moravian liturgies, including the Easter sunrise service and the love feasts in which Moravians celebrate their life in Christ together. For me, the Moravian Church was the bridge between my Baptist heritage and my eventual confirmation into the Episcopal Church. The February 10th service, in which Moravians and Episcopalians all come together in full communion using elements of both our Episcopalian and Moravian liturgies and music will be a very joyful one for me.
In a news release about the service from The Moravian Church in North America website, The Rt. Rev. Dr. Graham H. Rights, a Bishop of the Moravian Unity, notes: "In our Ground of the Unity, Moravians declare that ‘since we together with all Christendom are pilgrims on the way to meet our coming Lord, we welcome every step that brings us and other Christians nearer the goal of unity in Him.’ This full communion agreement with The Episcopal Church is one more step toward that goal.”
During the season of Epiphany, we focus on the fact that Jesus came into the world to live and die as one of us, to bring light to “the people who walk in darkness.” As disciples of Jesus we also bring light into the darkness of our own world.
One of the ways that we can witness to the light of Christ coming into the world is the way in which we choose to live with our fellow Christians. My belief is that Christians who live reconciled lives with one another, even in our disagreements, bring light and hope into a world that is torn and darkened by divisions that can easily become destructive and death dealing.
The Reformation was a time of great change, struggle and chaos when the church began the great splintering within itself that has continued until today. This splintering has brought both light and darkness with it into the world. Our task, as Christians, is to seek the light of Christ in this splintering. In our Book of Common Prayer, the Prayers of the People, Form III, open with this petition.
“Father, we pray for your holy Catholic Church:
That we may all be one.”
When we pray this prayer, we are asking that we can, as Christians, work together with Christians everywhere of all denominations to be witnesses to the light of Jesus Christ to a world that walks in darkness. We pray that we may all be one in our common mission as the Church Universal to witness to God’s love and be agents of healing in our hurting world. We already are all one in our belief that Jesus is truly the light of the world. Full communion with the Moravian Church provides a witness to the world of the church’s “oneness” in the midst of our divisions and differences with our Protestant neighbors.
Evening Book Group
The Evening Book Group meets twice a month. Our first meeting in February will be on Tuesday, February 8th, at 7PM in the Parish House. We are starting a new book, Life Together: A Discussion of Christian Fellowship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Bonhoeffer wrote the book to guide a fellowship of seminarians who had to go underground during the Nazi years in Germany. The book is full of practical advice about how to pray, worship, work and serve in Christian fellowship. Please come join us! If you are interested, please contact Catherine Hicks (540) 898-1586.
Calling all Acolytes, Readers, Chalice Bearers (LEMS), Ushers and Lay Eucharistic Visitors
I am in the process of compiling lists of those who want to help make our worship services wonderful by serving as acolytes, readers, chalice bearers, ushers, and Lay Eucharistic Visitors (those of you who would be willing to carry communion to those who cannot join us on Sunday). Please consider serving in one of these wonderful ministries. I will be meeting with each group sometime during the month of February. If you would like to serve in any of these capacities, please sign the list at church, or contact me at (540) 898-1586, or at stpetersrev@hotmail.com. No experience is necessary, just a desire to serve the Lord in one of these ways!
Adult Bible Study on Isaiah continues
The adults are continuing their study of the Prophet Isaiah during the month of February every Sunday morning in the Parish House, taught by Ben Hicks, beginning at 10AM. Isaiah is one of the most read prophets in our lectionary cycles and the New Testament contains many references to Isaiah. All are welcome.
Take a look at the St Peter’s website, www.churchsp.org
Our website is beautiful! Alex Long had the foresight to set up this website several years ago. Ben Hicks is our current web master. You can find information about what is going on at St Peter’s each week by simply looking at the first page of the website. The website also includes some excellent photography which you can find as galleries. The sermons from each week are also available on the website. If you have any questions about the website or need help in using it, please contact Ben Hicks, (540) 898-1586.
The Gospel according to Matthew
Each Wednesday morning, 10AM until Noon, a dedicated group of people come together to study the Bible. We are in the process of studying and discussing the gospel according to Matthew. Everyone is welcome.
A note about Brad….
I would like to thank all of you for your support of our St Peter’s musicians as they continue to lead us through this time in which our organist is out. Choir, thank you for your musical leadership as you’ve led the congregation through hymns and service music. Special thanks to Crystal Pannell and to Ruth TenHoven for playing the piano for us during our services.
As all of you know, our organist Brad Volland was hit by a car on January 4th. Brad received severe injuries to his face, his teeth, and his foot. His broken bones are mending and he hopes to return to us in March. Brad is so grateful for all of the support and care he has received from us here at St Peter’s. Every time I talk to him, he tells me that your cards, calls and visits have greatly brightened up his days, and that he is amazed at our compassion and love. I am so grateful for the wonderful people of St Peter’s, and all the care you have provided to Brad since the accident.
Brad sends the following message via Catherine—
Dear St. Peter’s Family:
I am truly thankful for your cards, e-mails and visits — they give me something to look forward to and brighten my days immeasurably. Your compassion, kindness and prayers are most sustaining! While I continue down the recovery pathway with wonderful doctors, family and friends, I still have a way to go. I am hopeful that I may be able to return to my duties at St. Peter’s by mid-March — I will keep you apprised of my rehabilitation progress through Catherine. I am sure you all know how blessed we are to have such a wonderful Priest — I would be unable to maintain my positive attitude without the love and encouragement I receive from Catherine and from all of you! Again, thank you so very much for your many expressions of kindness and most of all, for your prayers. God Bless You!
With Christian Love, Brad
If you want to contact Brad, his address is 2301 Cowan Blvd, Apt 63-C, Fredericksburg, VA 22401.
His phone number is (540) 479-1813.

216th Annual Council of the Diocese of Virginia Report
Theme: “Many gifts, One Spirit”
January 20 -22, 2011
Rt. Rev. Shannon S. Johnston, Bishop of VA : Presided/Celebrant of Holy Eucharist
Rt. Rev. David C. Jones, Bishop Suffragan of VA : Chaplain
Rt. Rev. Edwin F. Gulick, Assistant Bishop of VA
Brief Summary
Bishop Shannon and Bishop Jones both focused on our call as Christians to minister to the less fortunate and those in need. They emphasized the importance of the ministry beginning in our own communities and also reaching out globally. Bishop Jones also gave a heart filled homily about the work and dedication of our diocese’s international outreach ministries especially to those in Haiti and Sudan. Bishop Shannon discussed the necessity of giving financially to maintain and grow our ministries and he encouraged parishes to tithe. Bishop Jones’ retirement was announced which will be effective at the end of 2011.
Catherine was the celebrant of the Holy Eucharist and Healing on Saturday morning before the General Session reconvened. The Youth Ministries Committee was involved though out the council meeting. The young people led Compline on Friday evening and Morning Prayer on Saturday morning with the commencement of the council session.
The first class of graduates for the “Vocational Diaconate” for our diocese will be ordained in February. Five Deacons will be ordained. The role of the vocational deacon is to act as a bridge between the needs of the community and the church; and consequently to help the church better identify and meet those needs. The current program and curriculum is being evaluated before a new class is accepted.
To see the complete list of resolutions and results, go to the Diocesan website: www.thediocese.net.
The Following Resolutions Were Passed:
· “Caring for Creation”: Each parish is to be involved in the “Stewardship of Creation”, with a focus on environmental issues by appointing a Stewardship Partner from each parish to consult with the Stewardship of Creation Committee.
· “Blessings of Same-Gender Unions”: To provide guidelines for pastoral response to those individuals in same gender relationship who seek union blessings. The pastoral response is not forced on any clergy or parishes who do not agree with the blessing of such unions. Bishop Shannon will be reviewing each request for a blessing.
· “Week of Prayer for Christian Unity”: The week of prayer for Christian Unity invites the whole Christian community throughout the world to pray in communion with the prayer of Jesus, ”that they all may be one” (John 17:21).
· “End Bullying- Living Into Our Baptismal Covenant”: The emphasis is to call for an end to bullying and to support local parishes and individuals that are affected by ongoing bullying.
· “Sudan Peace Resolution for 2011 – Prayers and Actions”: Pray for peace and continue the diocese’s work in partnerships with colleagues in the Episcopal Church of Sudan.
· “Response to Negative Political Advertising”: prayers for civility for the national political process amongst our candidates.
· “A Resolution to Enhance the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia’s Relationship with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in Our Time and Place”: The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America will be invited to have a representative on the Diocese of Virginia Committees. The list of committees is in the resolution including Aging, Campus Ministries, Human Need etc.”
· “Diocesan Funding “: A study group is to be established to address the inadequate current voluntary funding mechanism.
Resolutions Revised
· Two opposing resolutions were submitted concerning the property ownership issue with the congregations that have departed from the Diocese. Both resolutions were withdrawn because it was decided that the issue needed more dedicated deliberate prayer.
Additional Resolution Passed
· A request by Bishop Shannon for an additional Bishop Suffragan was passed. A Nominating and Transition Committee will be established to work with the Bishop to address the election process.
Respectfully submitted,
Linda C. Beck, Junior Warden
Delegate to the 216th Annual Council of the Diocese of Virginia
Women’s Night Out February 12th
The night for the Annual Women’s Night Out is quickly approaching and we’re working hard to get all the planning and arrangements finalized. We have called most of you and made announcements in church, but there are some of you we haven’t been able to reach.
In the food department, men can fix and bring appetizers, meat course, vegetables, or a dessert. Additionally if you are coming, please give one of us a call and let us know what food item(s) you are planning to bring. That will let us know how many people will be there and, if necessary, we can supplement any food category that needs additional dishes. Please don’t forget to bring your beverage of choice (wine, beer, soft drink). We will have water, coffee, and iced tea available.
The appetizers will be out by 6:00pm and dinner will be served around 6:45pm. So Chefs, take note and have your prepared dish to Fall Hall prior to the time it will be served and eaten.
This is a fund raiser for the church and the cost is $20 a person, all tax deductible. The money should be paid to Cookie or Clarence and can be in advance or at the door. The money will go to a project identified by the Vestry.
This year we are going to have entertainment coordinated by Cindy Fields and Barbara Wisdom. We are assured that it will be a lot of fun and all of us will have a great time.
The Women’s Night Out was the brainchild of Tom Mahoney several years ago, and it has always been a terrific, fun filled evening. We have raised a significant amount of money that supported much needed projects and activities at St. Peter’s. We are confident that this year will be no exception. So, let us know that you will be with us on February 12, cook and bring something wonderful, plan to have a ton of fun with good friends and neighbors, and we’ll see you one week from next Saturday!
If you have any questions, please feel free to call either of us. Bill Wick & Fred Pannell

Health Matters – What is the difference between Sea Salt and Table Salt?
The real differences between sea salt and table salt are in their taste, texture and processing, not their chemical makeup.
Sea salt is produced through evaporation of seawater, usually with little processing, which leaves behind some trace minerals and elements depending on its water source. These insignificant amounts of minerals add flavor and color to sea salt, which also comes in a variety of coarseness levels.
Table salt is mined from underground salt deposits. Table salt is more heavily processed to eliminate trace minerals and usually contains an additive to prevent clumping. Most table salt also has added iodine, an essential nutrient that appears naturally in minute amounts in sea salt.

Annual Meeting January 16, 2011
With thanksgiving to God, another year of challenges and opportunities has been successfully met at our small church, the church with a great heart. We began 2010 with a void from the retirement of our beloved priest, John Wall, and a large hole in the roof, from the belfry project.
Early in the year, a smell in the church grew to be intolerable and one chilly Sunday morning, all the doors were opened wide to get rid of the smell, which brought the cold in, which made the heater run more, which made the dead cat, that was next to the heater, smell more. Our guest priest, the Reverend Lee Moore, was allergic to the pollen that flowed into the church from the wide open doors. With eyes filled with tears and a voice choking from allergies, the service went on. Later that day, the deceased cat was found and relocated. Screens were inserted into the foundation vents to prevent visits from any more animals. We survived and now thrive.
Your vestry worked diligently to bring in supply clergy. The Search Committee did an outstanding job. The good Lord blessed us with three strong Christians to choose from. Ultimately, the enthusiasm, energy, and sense of commitment of Catherine won. And we took a leap of faith to go with a Deacon as opposed to seasoned veterans. It has been a rewarding journey as we learn and grow together in Christ. Catherine is doing a great job. The word wonderful does not adequately describe the evening church services with candles in the windows. Ben has been a blessing with his work on the church web site and great photos.
Many from our church attended the ordination in Richmond. Bishop Johnston spoke of the relationship between a priest and congregation. Priests are not perfect and need help. Congregations must be mindful of their obligations to help the priests who help them. Again, it is an interactive journey, as we travel with the Lord, Priest and Congregation – together.
During that journey, over the past year, the belfry has been completed and the noble sounds from the ringing of the bell begin our church services. Your Junior Warden, Linda Beck has a report, attached, of other improvements made to our church and grounds. The ECW is a huge force for good all unto itself and their report follows. Our Treasurer and Stewardship Chairman, Clarence, has done an outstanding job and will provide a report.
Bishop Johnston visited, conducted services, and enjoyed our hospitality. We have had a wedding, several baptisms, and many feasts. We have celebrated together and mourned together. Sunday school embraces our youth, who actively participate in our church services. Saint Nicholas himself visited St. Peter’s and left what should be a great tradition of exchanging the commitment to pray for each other. Our music is the envy of much larger churches. Village dinners newsletters, emails of news and prayers, altar duty, flowers, acolytes, LEMs, calendars, outreach, the choir, and many other efforts continue from the tireless work of volunteers.
Please, everyone stand together. It is all of us working together, each in their own way, making this church family successful. Now give yourselves a round of applause.
Thank you all, and thank Joan Poland, who is also completing her term of three years on your vestry. It has been an honor to serve. Alexander Long IV, Senior Warden, St. Peter’s Church.
The year began with the completion of construction of the beautiful Bell Tower, culminating the significant efforts of the 2009 vestry and Junior Warden, Helmut Linne von Berg, in that project.
During the year, 2010, many other improvement and maintenance activities were successfully completed on St. Peter’s grounds, parish house, and the church, as follows:
· The vent grates on the church foundation were modified to prevent the entrance of neighborhood critters.
· The church parking lot and driveway were replenished with sand and gravel.
· The fence was reinstalled around the church.
· Bricks were replaced on the church portico.
· The back porch on the church was reconstructed, the new storm door was hung, and the porch light was replaced.
· Yard work was conducted which included weeding, planting of flowers, and mulching in the church and around the memorial garden.
· Gutter replacement, painting, and door frame work on the back of the parish house is pending awaiting appropriate weather.
Thank you to all that helped with the numerous tasks completed this year and for making my work and responsibilities more manageable. I appreciated your help and guidance.
Respectfully submitted, Linda C. Beck, Junior Warden
ECW Report for 2010
Submitted by Marion Mahoney, President
Other Officers:
Eunice Key, Vice-President
Betty Kunstmann, Secretary
Crystal Pannell, Treasurer
Crystal Pannell, Altar Guild Chairmen
Betty Kunstmann, UTO Chairman
Crystal Pannell, CPC Chairman
2011 was a very successful year for our ECW, due as always to the faithful service of our members. Crystal Pannell continued her excellent leadership of our Altar Guild. In June she held a training session, followed by a dinner, to train guild members on the proper set-up and handling of silver, brass and linens. The women all participated in supplying flowers for the altar, helped by a flower arranging class held by Joan Poland at her home on June 19th.
The Village Dinners continue to be a great source of income as well as an opportunity for fellowship. Eunice Key and her talented helpers (Betty, Vivian, Cookie, Cindy, Katherine and Helmut) have done an outstanding job with this ministry; we owe them a debt of gratitude. Their total contribution to the ECW was $2,868.50.
In addition to the income generated by the dinners, we held two flea markets which raised a total of $1,242.20 and hosted our first Halloween Costume Party. Heartfelt thanks to Johnny and Cookie Davis, who let us use their barn, and to everyone who worked so hard to ensure the success of the party. It was great fun to see the imaginative outfit’s people came up with – some folks were virtually unrecognizable! We hope to continue and improve upon this event, which raised about $600.00. (See attachment for a complete list of our charitable giving for 2010).
Our on-going activities included hosting the monthly coffee hours, participating in the annual “shoebox” collection and “adopting” two families by providing clothes and toys at Christmas. The entire congregation joined in this project.
Joan Poland continued her important ministry to our military, collecting clothes, toilet articles and phone cards for our wounded vets. Betty Kunstmann, our UTO Chairman, did her usual fine job, collecting $498.00 in 2010.
In May, we enjoyed a field trip to Stratford Hall, which included a tour of the house, and grounds and a delicious luncheon.
On December 11th, a group from St. Peter’s had the pleasure of seeing our new priest, Catherine Hicks, ordained at St. Mary’s Church in Richmond. Two of our ECW members, Cookie Davis and Cindy Fields provided the refreshments for the reception following the ceremony. We were delighted to welcome Catherine and her husband Ben to St. Peter’s. We feel blessed to have them.
As always, I must express the gratitude of the entire ECW to our “men’s auxiliary”. Without their help and support we could not accomplish what we do. Thank you all so much!
As we begin a new year, the members of St. Peter’s ECW will rededicate themselves to continue to grow in grace and service to God and our community. With his help and guidance, we hope to do great things in 2011.

2011 Annual Congregational Meeting Treasurer’s Report
The Cash & Investment Summary on the next page has two sections.
Ø The section titled Cash & Investments shows the accounts for the monetary assets of St. Peters.
Ø The Restricted Funds (designated funds) section identifies those amounts that have been donated or set aside from the funds available for the general operation of the church.
Under Investments in the Trustees of The Funds Account there has been an improvement in spite of the market’s ups & downs. Monies invested there are from the Cemetery Fund and the EC Davis Memorial Fund for Building & Development.
Your Vestry authorized the use of the Endowment, Memorials, and Handicap Ramp funds for the Bell Tower.
The Fund Activity chart at the bottom of the page displays those funds having activity during 2010.
In spite of the nation’s current economic situation, some costs such as utilities continue to rise. As a result and in order for your church to “live” within the income, it was necessary to reduce significantly some of the budget line items.
With the age of the Parish Hall and the church there continues a need for repairs. In addition, there is a downside to the increase in our congregation; we are outgrowing our Parish Hall. As a team we all must start thinking to the future and plan for an expansion.
As usual there have been a lot of “hidden” contributions in the form of time and material, including the little things such as providing food or flowers.
