Father Allan’s Reflections…

“Now there is rejoicing in heaven; for you were lost, and are found; you were dead, and are now alive

in Christ Jesus our Lord.” From the Reconciliation of a Penitent, (BCP p 451)

Ah, the signs of springtime are returning to our glorious valley! Perhaps, too soon or

perhaps, a “calm before the storm” as winter offers its last gasp with a whopper of a

storm. Time will tell. Nevertheless, our Lenten journeys have encouraged many to begin

a “spiritual” springtime: to see signs of new life and new growth within our hearts and minds. In the words of

that great Easter hymn, “Lent’s long shadows have departed” – well, let’s say they are starting to depart.

“Almost, but not quite” might be a more honest description of this particular time of year – a time that holds

such great hope and promise even though winter still clings to the air.

“Almost, but not quite” is an apt description of our spiritual journeys, too. Our time of reflection

throughout Lent is drawing to a close, the heartbreak of holy week is looming, as is the glorious promise of

Easter. We know we have been forgiven and have the assurance of eternal life in Christ. And yet, there are

times of doubt, times when we realize we’re not quite there yet. Times when we recognize that God’s work in

us continues and yet, so far from complete. Sometimes we wonder, “Am I really forgiven? Will I ever get there?”

One of the most beautiful, strengthening, cleansing, encouraging but, underutilized sacraments of the

Church is the Rite of Reconciliation (BCP pp 446-448). Some call this rite “Confession” but it really is much more

than that. It is about assurance, about embracing God’s grace and forgiveness. It is about claiming the Holy

Week and Easter promises Christ offered us at great price. It is a gift that, sadly, often goes unopened. It is a

gift that is especially meaningful as Lent ends and Eastertide looms.

As your Lenten journey draws to a close with all its questions about your worthiness before God,

questions like: are you really forgiven, are you ever going to “get there,” I invite you to let Reconciliation be a

part of “Walking the way of the Cross” in this coming Holy Week. There is nothing more powerful,

comforting, and assuring than embracing with absolute certainty the words that conclude this rite as stated at

the top of this Reflection and close by saying, “Go in peace. The Lord has put away all your sins.” Thanks be

to God. (BCP 451)

With prayers for a blessed Lent and reconciling Holy Week for all, I remain,

Yours in service to the Gospel,

Allan + Holy Cross Episcopal Church

Year after year, parishioners and visitors alike remark how our unique Holy Week services have enhanced their understanding of the depth of God’s grace to us in Christ and, therefore, made their Easter celebration all the more meaningful. Once again, we are honored to offer the following:

Note: All gather in Skiles Hall for the “Liturgy of the Palms” commemorating our Lord’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and then walk in procession (complete with shouts of “Hosanna!”) into the Church Nave. The triumphant procession continues and culminates with the celebration of the Liturgy of the Word and Holy Eucharist. The Passion Narrative is offered at the close of both services that day and sets the tone for our Holy Week journey.

The Latin word, “Mandatum” (commandment) is the source of the Maundy Thursday name. We hear St. John’s account of the last supper and engage in Jesus’ new commandment to love one another by washing one another’s feet. Both Priest and Vestry demonstrate their calls to servant leadership by washing the feet of all who come forward. (Please wear hose and shoes that are easily removed.)

The Holy Eucharist follows with a portion of the consecrated elements being set aside for our Communion on Good Friday. (The Church does not consecrate bread and wine on Good Friday, but rather, uses the consecrated elements from the Maundy Service.) A solemn procession of the sacrament to Skiles’ Altar which serves as our “Garden of Gethsemane” concludes the Eucharist. The sacrament will remain on the Skiles’ Altar where a silent prayer watch commemorating our Lord’s time at Gethsemane is kept until midnight. All are encouraged to Sign Up for this Prayer Vigil on the notice posted in Skiles Hall.

Following the procession to Gethsemane, the Sanctuary is stripped of all ornamentation. Everything which pertains to the life of the church is removed so that the building is empty and seems lifeless. The altar is washed with vinegar and water (i.e., gall) as the kneeling congregation prays aloud Psalm 22. This is a very moving and spiritually enriching service.

We gather at this hour to walk the Stations of the Cross in commemoration of our Lord’s walk to Golgotha and execution. A deeply devotional service, participants will be moved to behold the wonder of our salvation wrought at so great a price.

The Good Friday liturgy focuses on our Lord’s death and yet, it is not a funeral service. Our ceremonial is stark, direct, and powerful. There is a marked simplicity to tonight’s liturgy that proclaims the Passion and Crucifixion story from John’s Gospel. A series of ancient prayers for the whole world are offered followed by the unveiling of the cross and sharing in the Holy Communion using the reserved Sacrament from the Maundy Thursday service. All depart in silence at the service’s conclusion.

A simple service of Morning Prayer with appropriate prayers and said canticles is offered at 9:30 am in the Choir loft.



Observing a holy “Holy Week” Sunday, March 24 through Saturday, March 31

The observance of Holy Week is one of the great riches of the Christian Church. Sadly, some church traditions jump from Palm Sunday right to Easter Sunday (perhaps with a passing glance at Good Friday) and in so doing, miss out on the incredibly enriching journey of Holy Week.

In the Episcopal Church, Holy Week is far more than a retelling of past events. Our liturgies invite us to be physically present in Jerusalem and watch the events of the world’s salvation unfold before our very eyes as if for the first time. Episcopalians don’t just recall Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, we are there to participate in it and welcome Jesus into the city. We don’t just remember the Last Supper when our Lord washed the feet of all present, we, too, are present to wash each other’s feet and share the bread and wine. We don’t simply contemplate Gethsemane, we go there and kneel in prayer with our Lord. We see the crucifixion for ourselves and, because we are present at the Tomb on that first Easter, we hear for our own selves the good news of the resurrection.

It has long been said one cannot fully comprehend the meaning of Easter without having walked the “Way of the Cross” with our Lord through the events of this most wondrous and holiest of weeks. To that end, Holy Cross offers a unique opportunity for God’s people to gather together, to engage, to witness, and participate in our Lord’s Passion in preparation for the celebration of his most glorious resurrection. All are encouraged to be a part of the greatest story ever told.

And coming on Sunday, April 1, 2018 EASTER SUNDAY

The Celebration of the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ!

Special Worship Services at 8:30 & 11:00 am

Bring a favorite bell and prepare to ring in, and proclaim, the resurrection of our Lord! Glorious music, bells, and joyful shouts of “Alleluia Christ is risen! The Lord is risen indeed” resound as God’s people gather to offer the Holy Eucharist with royal pomp and splendor in celebration of the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

A superb breakfast in Skiles’ Hall hosted by the ECW follows the 8:30 am service and an Easter egg hunt for the children follows thereafter at approximately 10:00 am. (In the event of inclement weather, the egg hunt will be held in Skiles’ Hall.)

Mark your calendars now and plan to attend all of this year’s Holy Week services.



Tuesday, March 6, 2018 at 6:30 pm

This month’s “First Tuesday” Contemplative Worship Service commemorates two well-known Episcopalians and pioneers in medicine: William W. Mayo and Charles Menninger.

In addition to offering brief scripture readings, responsive prayers, silent reflection and songs in the style of the Taizé, Iona and Celtic community traditions, our meditation this evening will focus

on Jesus’ healing ministry and our call to ministry.

Contemplative Worship Services invite attendees to gather in soft candlelight and experience for one’s own self what it means to, in the words of the Psalmist, “Be still and know that I am God”

(Psalm 46:10).

Whoever you are – Just as you are - Come, be still and know God.

Come and be renewed.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation

A Gift of God’s Grace

One of the most underutilized and yet, most encouraging and comforting sacraments of the Church is the Sacrament of Reconciliation. It is the opportunity to share your heart and soul in the private, confidential and caring presence of your priest, receive counsel, assurance of pardon and that you are, indeed, God’s beloved child.

While available to parishioners throughout the year, this sacrament is especially meaningful during the Season of Lent when, for many, our hearts become troubled over past sins, our faith is questioned, or we sense the need for amendment of life and just need to hear for certain, “The Lord has put away all your sins.”

Please know that, as your priest, I welcome the opportunity to share with you in this grace-filled sacrament. Simply call me at (828) 963-4609 ext. 22 for a confidential appointment as your schedule so allows.

Yours,

Allan +

The youth will be helping out with the Easter egg hunt. We are looking for plastic eggs and candy. Please bring wrapped candy and due to allergies, we are asking for candy without nuts.

Please drop them off at the church anytime this month. Thank you!



Introducing the “AppFaithHealth” Program

Watauga Medical Center is promoting a program called AppFaithHealth, in which local churches are participating. The first goal for a participating church is to secure signed authorization sheets from each of you who want to join this effort. The signed sheet allows the hospital to quickly notify your pastor that you are in the hospital. Notifying the priest or pastor of one’s hospitalization is an often overlooked necessity that leaves clergy unaware of parishioner needs until well after the fact.

The AppFaithHealth program ensures timely notification should you be hospitalized. In addition, the program includes notifying clergy when a parishioner is being discharged or transferred to another facility, and what type of follow up care they will need. Such notification will be very helpful to our pastoral care efforts especially when it comes to providing meals for you at home or with helping with transportation needs.

Program Authorization sheets will be available for completion in Skiles Hall after each service on March 4 (look for a card table staffed by one of our ECW members). In addition, the ECW hopes to have volunteers (from among the congregation) who will attend workshops to train us to support our parishioners (who have no support system at home) when they leave the hospital. We will be discussing this in more detail at our next ECW meeting on March 1 at 11:00. If you have any interest in learning more, please come and meet with us.

As a part of our ongoing study of Dismantling Racism, members of the Diocesan Commission on Dismantling Racism will be joining us on Wednesday, March 14 to view the film, “Traces of the Trade”. The film tells the true story of a Rhode Island family who discover that their ancestors were slave traders and how they come to grips with this secret from their past.

We will share a simple supper of soup and bread as we watch the film and a discussion will follow. The evening will begin at 5:30. Parishioners from St. Luke’s and St. Mary’s have been invited to join us.

Please join us as we address this very important issue in our country .

As work for the Valle Country Fair kicks into gear, we are reminded of why we all give our time, energy and talents to making this community event such a success.

Yes, the fair is about coming together for a day of great music, great food, talented artists with their wares, and spending time with loved ones.

Yes, this year’s fair will be about highlighting and celebrating the 40th anniversary of the fair. (Wow!)

And yes, the fair is about sharing our beautiful valle with locals and visitors from far and wide.

Most of all, we work to raise funds to give back to our community. To help those in need. To help fill gaps so many struggle to fill each day.

Your Mission and Outreach Commission works hard to be good stewards of the precious dollars. Commission members talk to people every day working through challenges that are overwhelming. MOC is making a difference.

Here is a link to an article from episcopalrelief.org. that is appropriate for this season of Lent and shares one person’s journey to make a difference.

“... Often our willingness to look, to notice, to pay attention is the necessary first step to any other work that needs to be done.”

https://www.episcopalrelief.org/stories/the-courage-to-look-and-not-turn-away -Julie Gates

On the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month, at each service, a trained Healing Minister is present during communion at the Healing station beneath the Pulpit to offer prayers and anointing as requested. One may come to ask for prayers for themselves for healing in body, mind or spirit. Or one may offer

themselves as an intercessor for someone else in need – asking for healing prayers for a relative, a friend, or a situation. For further information or to explore serving as a healing minister, please

contact Pan McCaslin, 963-5198.

Look What’s Coming Up…

Our Journey with Luke continues to move forward this month much to the enjoyment of many. Our discussions have been lively and our learning profound. While we will finish this series this month, all are certainly welcome to join in for the remaining sessions on Sunday, March 11 and 18.

While we will take a break for Holy Week (starting Sunday, March 25) and Easter Sunday (April 1), classes will resume on April 8 with a new series: A Journey through Acts. Once again, study books will be available for purchase at $12 each. This particular journey with the early Church continues throughout Eastertide and will end on The Feast of Pentecost, Sunday May 20 which marks the conclusion of our ACE program until the fall.

Classes meet in Upper Skiles Hall on Sunday mornings at 9:45 am. All are welcome!

ECW will meet on Thursday, March 1 at 11 a.m. in Skiles Hall. ECW will brainstorm ideas for increasing membership and other important issues. Please bring suggestions

(and a sandwich) for sharing. We hope everyone will plan to come and help ECW continue with many wonderful projects to help those in need.

The Monday night study group is completing Brené Brown’s book Braving the Wilderness. Beginning mid-March, interested persons will be reading and discussing “Laudato Si” or “Be Praised”, the

encyclical written by Pope Francis and published in 2015. The focus of the paper is the call by the Church and those in the world to care for creation. The paper may be downloaded from the

internet or paper copies may be ordered through Amazon. All are welcome. Mondays, 6pm to 7:30 pm, Skiles Hall.

Music Notes



This month “Notes” will be a little different – how many of you have actually taken a tour of Holy Cross Church and church grounds? Next time you are at Holy Cross take this trivia quiz with you to see how much you can learn about our amazing history! For answers see page 11.

TRANSEPT TRIVIA Who are the following people and where in the church (or church grounds) are they remembered:

1. Eli Springs Blackwood

2. Charles Bland

3. The Rev. Frontis Anthony

4. Brother William West Skiles

5. Mary Ellen Horner

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8)

A wee wish for a good March to you! This month brings many celebrations and observances. Among them are: St. Patrick’s Day, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday. We no sooner turn the calendar from March to April, when suddenly Easter arrives on April 1!

At any rate, the month of March remains in the season of Lent. The choral anthems will reflect a Lenten reconciliation with God. The above scripture from Ephesians occurs specifically on Sunday, March 11. It serves as a core belief, that we are “saved by grace through faith.”

On March 4, the Choir sings a poignant anthem by Jennifer Stammers, “The Loving Lamb”. The text (by hymnist Isaac Watts) delves into Christ’s sacrifice, our sins, and our “ne’er repayable” debt. The flowing lines of minor-key melody and rhythms transport us to a reflective Lenten journey.

On March 11, a dedicated vocal quartet sings the African-American spiritual, “Deep River”. This special rendition includes the traditional text, along with two rarely-sung additional verses. Many thanks go to Pat Parks, Elaine Kallestad, Dan Shepherd, and John Goodrich for offering this moving piece on Laetare Sunday!

March 18 brings us to a beautiful chorale from Bach’s St. John’s Passion: “Thy Will be Done”. Typical of Bach, the intricate harmonies and unexpected chordal progressions present a worthy challenge for the Choir! While Johann Sebastian Bach’s birthday occurs later in the month (March 31, 1685), the anthem on the 18th will serve as our tribute.

March 25 brings us to Palm Sunday and Holy Week. The anthems this week offer pensive reflections at every sacred worship. Especially moving is the mournful, layered texture of Joseph Martin’s “And It Was Night”, (Good Friday) as its deep musical timbre paints the beginning of our Lord’s Passion.

Finally, as we approach the celebration of Easter Sunday, we present a wonderful new anthem --The Day of Resurrection!—arranged for Choir, Organ, and Brass, including guests: Mr. Brent Bingham, Dr. Drew Leslie, and Mr. Austin Gerrald!

May these words from The Loving Lamb resonate with us this March: “Was it for sins that I have done, He suffered on the tree? What pity, grace unknown, and love beyond degree! Oh, the Lamb, the loving Lamb, the Lamb on Calvary; the Lamb was slain and lives again, to intercede for me.” ----Elaine Kallestad

Notes from the Attic

– Dedy Traver

6. Isabelle Graves, Hedwig Marie Maul

7. The Rt. Rev. Joseph Blount Cheshire

8. Dr. William P. Burns

9. Young Peoples’ Service League

10. The Rt. Rev. Levi Silliman Ives

Transept Trivia - Answers

1. In the sanctuary to the left of the altar you will see a bronze plaque in memory of Eli Springs Blackwood given by Mr. & Mrs. Walter Taylor of Asheville, NC for the woodwork for the sanctuary and chancel including the altar made o f native oak. Eli Blackwood was born in 1842 and died in 1921. Mr. Blackwood was the oldest child of the late John J. Blackwood and Laura Springs Blackwood of Charlotte. He is buried in he Elmwood Cemetery in Charlotte, NC – and that’s all we know!! Please help us find out who Eli Springs Blackwood was! We have some photographs of the cemetery marker.

2. The Bishop’s chair was built in 1846. The Rev. William Glenney French was hired by Bishop Ives to be the Superior of the Order of the Holy Cross. Rev. French had Charles Bland, one of the divinity students who was also a carpenter,build the chair. On top of the chair is a hand crafted bishop’s miter. The plaque is on the back of the chair.

3. The altar set consisting of the cross, Eucharistic candlesticks and a pair of brass vases was placed in the church and blessed on Sept. 12, 1926 in memory of The Rev. Lee Frontis Anthony, Priest-in-Charge of Holy Cross Church. Father Anthony was beloved by all the parishioners as well as the community folks. He died in the flu epidemic of 1919 after visiting parishioners who were ill.

4. As you enter the church you will notice on your left the Skiles altar. It was handcrafted by a cabinet maker from Santa Barbara, California. It is a beautiful Dutch cupboard decorated inside with appropriate memorial inscriptions. Brother Skiles was a member of The Society of the Holy Cross and loyal missionary in this valley. The altar was given in his memory by the Order of the Holy Cross in the late 1950’s or early 1960’s.

5. On the left side of the church near the pulpit you will see a copy of Raphael’s Madonna and Child that was given in 1924 in memory of Mary Ellen Horner, sister to Bishop Junius Horner. Miss Horner was the principal of the Mission School until she died in 1922 from pneumonia.

6. The globe style lighting fixtures in the church were installed in 1937 in memory of Mary Horner, Susan Isabel Graves, and Hedwig Marie Maul who were principal and teachers at the Mission School. The original globes were German glass.

7. Before you enter the church on the West gable look up and you will see a Celtic cross. It is made of Mt. Airy granite and weighs 3000 pounds. It was given in memory of Bishop Joseph Blount Cheshire who revived the mission work here in 1895.

8. In the Narthex of the church there is a beautiful stained glass window crafted in the 1970’s by The Rev. William P. Burns, retired vicar of Holy Cross Church. Dr. Burns was vicar and director of the conference center during the 1970’s. It is the Valle Crucis Cross and there are leaflets with full description of the window.

9. The baptismal font is located in the Narthex. This was given in 1925 by the Young People’s Service League which compares to the Episcopal Young Churchmen today. The hymn board which is to the right of the organ was also given by the Young People’s Service League in 1928. Most of the students at the Mission School were members of the church and sang in the choir as well as served as acolytes.

10. The log cabin is known as The Bishop Ives Cabin and was built for Bishop Levi Silliman Ives. The cabin now houses our museum/archival information and serves as a library and small meeting space and reading room. It was originally a two story building with four rooms. It housed the first Anglican monastic order in the world since the reformation. This is the oldest structure on the property and was built in the mid 1840’s. It was originally located on Dutch Creek Road and was moved in the 1950’s by the Townsend brothers – Arthur, Ernest, and Lewis. Ernest was Ernestine Glover’s father and Lewis was Floyd Townsend’s father!
