Mission Statement of Christ Church

To the glory of God, the mission of Christ Church Parish is to serve Jesus Christ and all the people of God; to

encourage and facilitate spiritual development for people of all ages; to grow as Christians in a loving and

forgiving fellowship, thereby confirming, witnessing, and leading others to the faith by the power of the Holy

Spirit.

We have much to be grateful for! In early June a sizable group

from Christ Church joined the regional Confirmation service with

Bishop Beisner at St. Francis in Fortuna. We had two parishioners

seeking confirmation and eleven seeking reaffirmation of their

baptismal vows. (One of the confirmands will travel to Willits for

confirmation in July.) This large group was the fruit of the

confirmation class taught by Sr. Diana (with minor assistance by Mtr.

Susan).

July and August are the months of summer camps! Please see

articles in this Chronicle for details. Also be sure to read the article by

Merry Phillips on the three fora she is presenting in July.

We are missing Mother Lesley this summer, as she provides

clerical coverage while Mother Sara Potter is on sabbatical. However

we had a wonderful service June 29 as Nancy Streufert began her ministry as a transitional deacon.

We are also very fortunate to have three parishioners en route to ordination as permanent deacons.

We held our first Family Sunday in June, with sunshine, lots of food, and badminton! The

next such Sunday will be July 20. Bring a friend!

Cinema Chat continues to attract more people. The next film is on Saturday July 12 at 6:00.

Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell star in Harold Ramis’s Groundhog Day.

I hope you can find new energy at a slower pace this summer. But don’t be a stranger at

church!

In Christ’s love,

Mother Susan

In Diana Butler Bass’s 2006 book Christianity for the

Rest of Us: How the Neighborhood Church is Transforming

the Faith, she offers in Part III her insights on the journey of

‘From Tourists to Pilgrims.’ She writes,

Not long ago I was at Trinity Church, Wall Street, one

of the oldest churches in the United States, and the

church that sits at the edge of the World Trade Center

site. Since September 2001, more than two million visi-

tors a year have passed through its historic doors. The

clergy and I were talking about spiritual tourists, the throngs of people who journey

to the church to understand the devastating events of September 11. They are the un-

moored, nomads in a fractured world, trying to make spiritual and theological sense

of the changes–the violence, suffering, and war–that have engulfed us.

"I've got tourists galore," sighed the reverend Dr. Jim Cooper, Trinity's senior cler-

gyperson. "They come. They come in droves. But I don't want them to leave as

tourists. I want them to become pilgrims. I want them to connect, to know that

there is something more."

Although not many other churches have two million tourists a year, Trinity is not

completely unique. In effect, Jim Cooper's words speak to all religious communities.

Every church, synagogue, mosque, and temple in the United States sits among a throng of

tourists; each is surrounded by people on a journey of self-discovery and meaning. But

simply being on a spiritual journey does not necessarily mean that people will find mean-

ing. Rather, as Jim suggested, they need to "connect," to discover that journeys can be-

come pilgrimages. Tourists can become pilgrims.

Trips and journeys are wonderful things...being a tourist takes us outside of daily

life, and when we are at the beach, we know that we experience the place in an entirely dif-

ferent way than do the locals, the year-round people.

But what if, instead of making a yearly trip, we moved in? Becoming a pilgrim

means becoming a local, a year-round person, who adopts a new place and new identity

by learning a new language, rhythms, and practices. Unlike being a tourist, we embark

on a pilgrimage, not to escape life, but to embrace it more deeply, to be transformed

wholly as a person with new ways of being in community and new hopes for the world.

Being a tourist means experiencing something new; being a pilgrim means becoming

someone new. Pilgrimages go somewhere - to a transformed life.

It is my great joy to be serving Christ Church during my

transitional diaconal ministry over the next seven months until my

ordination to the priesthood in January. All priests in the Episcopal

Church serve initially as deacons because all who are called to

Holy Orders are called first and foremost to be servants in the

world, the very image of Christ Himself.

As I was discerning my call to Holy Orders several years ago, it

was Ernie Lewis, past archdeacon of our diocese, who said to me,

“If what burns within you is a great sensitivity to the pain in the

world about us and you feel so energized by that burning, you

would make a splendid deacon. The issue is not what your ministry

is but how you can encourage, cajole, urge the folks in a

congregation to get as upset as you are and then mobilize them to

go out and DO it!”

Getting “upset” is not really my style, but I do know how to mobilize people and I can be very

persistent! Yet I expect that my new diaconal role as a mediator and catalyst to bring the church

out into the world in service will stretch me in ways that will be new and perhaps even

uncomfortable at times. So how should we proceed?

Episcopal priest and missioner Titus Presler says that the first questions we should be asking are

“What is God up to? What new thing is God inviting us to participate in?” What I believe God

is “up to” in our community is the Betty Chinn Day Center, whose mission is to help the

destitute with the tools and support they need to return to society as contributing members. Not

long ago, I spent a couple hours with Betty and her program manager Mark Amacher, touring

the Center and discussing with them what Christ Church as a church could do to help. One

such need that could be filled immediately is preparing evening meals in the Center’s

commercial kitchen with food Kiwanis members collect daily from St. Joseph Hospital, food

that is wholesome but that is not needed or nearing expiration. This opportunity came to my

attention from Vestry member Julia Lawson just two days before my ordination! Could this be

the Holy Spirit already at work in our midst?

If you are interested in helping with this ministry or finding out more about how you can help

Betty in other ways, please talk to me after church on Sunday or contact me by phone or email.

I will be coordinating a tour of the Day Center very soon and developing a plan together with

interested parishioners for Christ Church to help Betty continue God’s mission in the world.

And please pray for me as I begin this new phase of ministry. Your ongoing support and prayers

mean more to me than you can know.

In Christ, Nancy+

CAMP LIVING WATERS 2014!

We look forward to another

wonderful week at Camp!

This year Camp begins for

campers Sunday evening

August 3 and ends at 3 on

Friday August 8. Counselors

will arrive the day before, on

August 2.

The week include

daily campfires with skits,

archery, games on the green,

such as “Capture the Flag,”

soccer, croquet, Bocce Ball,

and badminton. Everyday

there are crafts, waterfront,

daily Eucharist, and

Christian discussions in the Glade. Campers sleep in large tents, with 4-5 campers plus a

counselor in each tent. Counselors are 16 years old or older, all of whom receive prior

training. Adult staff members are trained and have considerable camp experience. Additional

fun includes (voluntary) polar bear swims, stargazing, secret pals, and a camp dance. There is

time to hang out with friends, and meet new friends.

We welcome children 9-15 of all faiths, and campers who are “unchurched” but who

are interested in attending a Christian camp are very welcome. Almost all campers want to

return the next year! Costs are very low because almost all staff members are volunteers. The

cost for the camp program is $175. Registration deadline is July 15, and spaces are limited.

Scholarships, partial or full, are available. For information, please contact Mtr. Susan

Armstrong.

Applications are available at the website above and in the Heritage Room at Christ

Church.

See you at Camp!

Camp Living Waters

Music and Arts Camp 2014

Plans are moving forward for the 5th Annual Summer Music and Arts Camp, to be held July

21-25 on the Christ Church campus. The Camp is for children entering grades one through

six.

The theme this year is “The Spark of Creation.” Art projects and songs will focus on the sea,

land, and sky. Scripture verses will be connected to each focus area. Nan Voss will teach

singing, Marita Musante will teach art, and Merry Phillips will teach keyboards.

On Friday, July 25 there will be a mini-concert for kids and families, followed by a picnic

lunch.

Donations are greatly appreciated! This year we are requesting donations in the form of cash,

food gift cards, or checks rather than actual food. This minimizes waste and provides the

needed flexibility to meet dietary needs.

Teachers and support staff are excited as plans are finalized for this year’s camp! Thank you

for your support of this ministry to the children of our community.

July 9:15 a.m. Fora

July will be a lively month for the 9:15 Forum. Starting on July 6, Mtr. Susan will give an

update of Camp Living Water. With the choir on vacation, Merry Phillips will offer a series of

talks on church music.

Dates are as follows: July 13, July 20 and July 27:

July 6: Hymns: A Congregational Study: part 1 of 3 – This will be the beginning of a brief

survey of the rich, 2000-year history of congregational song, introducing Greek and Latin

hymnody and progressing through the Protestant Reformation with Lutheran Hymnody and

Calvinist Psalmody.

July 13: Hymns: A Congregational Study: part 2 of 3 – Continuing the brief survey begun

with part 2 (with some review) and venturing into 18th century British Hymnody (Watts and

Wesley) and crossing over the Atlantic to look at 19th century British and American Hymnody.

July 20: Hymns: A Congregational Study: part 3 or 3 – Focusing on 19th century American

hymnody, looking at the hymns we sing today and discussing ways to enhance congregational

singing.

Produce Sunday

After church on Sunday, another parishioner and I talked about how we often forget to bring

produce on the last Sunday. We agreed that people who are hungry never forget that they're

hungry, so it's up to us to remember them. Still, a little help couldn't hurt...starting next month,

there will be a reminder notice in the bulletin for you to post in a significant place. Our faith

community continues to be generous and giving. Over the last quarter (April-June), besides

ears of corn, a pineapple, and other miscellany, we donated 230 pounds of produce. During

the first quarter, we donated 254 pounds for a total of 484 pounds to date. Well done!! St.

Vincent's is so thankful for our generosity!

Transitions and Celebrations

Our Congratulations to the Rev. Nancy Streufert, who was ordained as a Transitional Deacon

on June 28, in Sacramento. She will serve here, at Christ Church, for the next six months.

10

Madeline Musante celebrated her graduation from Eureka High School on Friday, June

13th her lucky day...she received early acceptance from Stanford on Friday, December

13th! Maddy graduated with honors as salutatorian and enjoyed speaking at the graduation

ceremony. Stanford does not allow Freshman to declare a major only an area of

interest. Maddy is looking forward to classes in History, English and Math while writing for

The Flipside, Stanford's satirical newspaper. She has attended Christ Church since birth and

has been blessed to have the love and support of its congregation. We are extremely pleased to

offer our congratulations to Madeline Musante and her family and our prayers for her forward

journey!

In May, Myles Stover , Jill’s son, graduated summa cum laude from Arizona State

University with a Bachelor of Applied Science degree with emphasis on Emergency

Management. He was baptized in Christ Church and served as an acolyte. Myles retired after

11

23 years in the army and attended classes

wherever and whenever college classes

were offered during those years. For the

last few years, Myles has been teaching in

the ROTC program at ASU. He and his

wife, Nancy, have three children, two in

college and one in junior high school. They

reside in Mesa, Arizona.

Our heartfelt wishes are with Carrie Hogan, Lynne

Bean’s daughter, who graduated this spring from the

College of the Redwoods Nursing Program. Over the

past five years, while raising a family and working,

Carrie has been preparing to become a nurse. Following

completion of her AS degree and pre-requisites, she

entered the 2-year nursing program at College of the

Redwoods and graduated May 17th, 2014.

Congratulations Carrie!

Madeline Musante – Salutatorian Speech

I would like to begin with one of my favorite Shel Silverstein poems, “Invitation.”

“If you are a dreamer, come in.

If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,

A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer . . .

If you’re a pretender, come sit by my fire,

For we have some flax golden tales to spin.

Come in!

Come in!”

I am honored by the opportunity to speak with you today, but I was also a bit intimidated by the task

of writing this speech. I struggled to make my words original as, like my fellow graduates, I too am

still finding my voice. I found inspiration in the words of this poem and its message of acceptance.

None of us has attended the same high school. Yes, we all arrived at EHS every morning, but

the commonalty stops there. Some of us came to school hungry, others tired from sports, homework,

or family troubles. Some of us were late every day and some hardly bothered to come at all. For

some, school was a sanctuary from a broken home and for others, a prison. Some will view this as

the best four years of their life and others as the worst. Every one of us has led a life entirely unique

from any other. We may have shared classes or teachers, but we certainly did not all take the same

lessons from our studies. Each of us brings a unique perspective that shapes the way we view our

peers and all that we learn. For example, I love history because it provides an explanation for the

current divisions and alliances in our society, while others view it as pointless to study people who

have been dead for centuries.

We are the dreamers, wishers, liars, hope-ers, pray-ers, magic bean buyers, and pretenders

Silverstein describes. Our individuality has given each of us a different high school experience. We

have befriended fellow students based on shared interests and based our schedules around

tournaments, concerts, plays, or whatever else took our fancy. Our individual interests allow us to

shine and be who we are, but they can also cage us and make us afraid to reach out to others. I like

to think of EHS as a fairly unified community, but like any school, it does have its cliques which

may or may not interact. Such separation is damaging. It is only natural that we wish to spend time

with like-minded peers, but if we only interact with a set group of friends, how are we ever going to

learn from one another and bravely face the challenges of a rapidly advancing society? Our

generation has been accused of losing the ability to communicate due to the prevalence of social

media; let’s change that! Force yourself to branch out, and talk to your opposite. We yearn for

understanding – to know that someone else is aware of us, our thoughts, and our dreams. Put

yourself into someone else’s shoes and invite them to try on yours. Each of us has taken a different

path to reach this moment, but we do not need to remain alone. We are still moving in different

directions, but because none of us can predict what the future holds, we can unite over our shared

13

uncertainty and hope. Alone, we are vulnerable, but if we can overcome our insecurities and reach

out to one another, we have nothing to fear. Class of 2014, this is not goodbye. Good luck and happy

Friday the Thirteenth!

Hello from Sanford, Your Stewardship Chairman:

Stewardship to me means: Taking good care of God's People, to the best of our ability.

Trying our best to be Godly people is a way to show others that we are Good People, a form of

Stewardship, so that others may see God reflected in us. We are living a Godlike Lifestyle to witness

to others our belief in God and his principles.

To be able to take care of God's people, we need to have resources to accomplish this. We have

to take care of the gifts that God has given us and to be good stewards with all that we have.

The people in the pews are the number one and most important gift of all. With all of you, our Christ

Church is able to function the way it does. Every single one of you brings something to this church

that blesses us all: your smile and handshake at Passing the Peace, your refreshments at coffee hour,

being involved in one of the many ministries we have.

We have participated in the Sunday forums, the Sundays at 4 concerts, a picnic with food and

badminton, and Cinema Chat nights. There are so many other things that we do that are great

outreach events to our community. People from the community see the great bond we have with God,

our church and our people.

We have helped Marvin complete his college education so he can go back to his country of

origin and help to change it for the better for the people of Liberia, perhaps even by becoming

president one day. We have helped Betty Chinn with many of her projects by providing socks,

clothing and peanut butter and jelly for sandwiches for her ministry to the Homeless in our area.

We painted our church buildings in one summer, and we remodeled and repainted our apartment

above the office. We are taking care of the church gardens and grounds, because we all believe in

good stewardship by taking good care of the gifts that we have received to do God's work in our

community.

We have been responsible stewards for worship, preserving our traditions, and the improving

of our Christian hearts and minds. Christian formation, charity, and worship have been what we are

about and will continue to be, with God's help.

As you can see, Stewardship is a Lifestyle of Christ Church; it is something that we are doing

year round because it is who we are. As we begin to move toward our stewardship campaign for the

next year, I hope that you will reflect on the many things that we are doing with the Time, Treasure,

and Talents that God has given us all, and feel the gratitude from those who have received and been a

part of our treasure.

Many blessings to you,

Sanford

Concerts at Christ Church

Dear People of Christ Church,

Recently a request was received from a local music organization to hold three concerts at Christ

Church for the group’s 2014-2015 performance season. At my request, a small group met to discuss

the proposal and consider it in light of the future directions we are heading with our ministries and

programs.

After carefully discussing the various aspects of the request, the group arrived at the conclusion that

we are not in the position, at this moment, to take on this longer-term commitment, but that we want

to pursue the matter further and develop guidelines to aid our decision-making process for the future.

I responded to the music group, explained our reasons, and let them know that we want to keep in

touch about future possibilities.

One of the outcomes of our discussion in considering this request was a decision to form a Music

Leadership Team this summer to begin addressing questions to help form our policies and guidelines.

We have a facilities use policy and documents in place and the organ concert series committee

developed additional guidelines for concerts, but we need to step back and take a holistic view of

concerts in our sacred space as well as consider the most judicious use of our resources. Churches

vary greatly in approach, from inviting and welcoming everyone to use the church as a venue for

weddings, concerts, etc. (i.e. revenue-generating events for the church) to very narrowly defining

specific uses appropriate to church’s sacred space.

Where do we want to fall in this spectrum? What is our collective vision of the use of our sacred

space? Who defines what is “appropriate” in terms of types of music to be performed? I think the

following statement from the Catholic Church will be useful for guiding our conversation: “[t]he

strong religious tradition in this country has generally protected our church buildings from

inappropriate uses. However, the Church’s role of a thousand years and more in promoting,

nurturing, and offering the arts to the community at large remains an appropriate and desirable use of

our building.” I would note here the distinction made between “church” and “building.” We need to

find a balance that reflects the direction we, as a parish, want to take.

Here is part of my reply to the above request:

“Currently, our music program at Christ Church is in transition and we are in the process of defining

and developing the future direction it will take. We are taking a more holistic view and re-

considering our current organ concert series and music events and how they fit into our overall

ministry. I expect that this will take time, involving different leaders in the church, and because of

15

that, and due to our limited resources, we cannot commit at this time to holding your three concerts

for the 2014-2015 season.

We will certainly keep in mind the possibilities for future requests from your group, perhaps for a

single concert in 2015. It is gratifying to hear how much the players have enjoyed performing at

Christ Church.”

Many dedicated volunteers have served tirelessly to make wonderful concerts happen over the years

at Christ Church. We will continue to have concerts. I plan to meet with the Vestry in July, and with

their guidance, establish a Music Leadership Team to begin this important work. I welcome your

thoughts, ideas, and concerns and I will share our progress through the newsletter, and if there is

enough interest, perhaps a Sunday forum.

Faithfully yours,

Merry Phillips

“Sundays at 4” Concerts

The summer concert series “Sundays at 4,” established by the concert series committee five

years ago, continues this summer with three concerts featuring local musicians. On June 22, the

McKinleyville Community Choir presented a concert to 80+ attendees. The Choir featured three

singers from Christ Church, Steve Cole, Helen Hui, and Anne Van Zandt. It was an enjoyable

afternoon!

July’s concert on July 27, at 4 pm, will feature music keyboard duets by Douglas Moorehead

and Merry Phillips. See Doug’s separate write-up on the details of the program in this issue of the

Chronicle.

In August, we welcome Elizabeth Rau, soprano and Greg Granoff, organ and piano in an

afternoon of “Songs of Reflections and Jubilation,” performing music by Greg Granoff.

All concerts are free and open to the community. I hope that many of you will come and enjoy

a concert or two, as you are able. Volunteers are needed to help with the two remaining concerts; to

usher, hand out programs, direct visitors to the restrooms, and to be present to welcome people to

Christ Church. If you would like to help, please contact Merry Phillips.

“Open Choir” for Summer 2014

“Open Choir” will be held on Wednesdays, 5:30-7:00 (length will depend upon who shows up),

beginning Wednesday, July 9. All are welcome. We will meet in the Music Room (formerly known

as the Choir Room).

Rather than a regular choir rehearsal, “Open Choir” is intended to be like an “open lab” – an

opportunity for those who are available and interested to gather, read through music, have a chance to

sing together, and to provide an opportunity for individuals to rehearse special music for church

services. It will not be highly structured, but I would appreciate knowing ahead of time if you have

something in particular you would like to rehearse or just share with others and/or learn and sing

together. It will be an “experiment” (get it?) as well as an experience.

The 2014/2015 choir ‘season’ will begin with rehearsal on Wednesday, August 20 – same time,

same place – so please mark your calendars. The choir’s first Sunday back to sing during the 10:30

service will be September 7.

If you are interested in singing with the choir, please contact me. I would love to meet with

you and provide more information on the choir.

A Very Interesting "SUNDAYS AT 4" Concert this Month

The "Sundays at 4" concert this month will be on Sunday, July 27th, at 4:00 PM , and it will feature

four hands and four feet playing keyboard instruments! The hands and feet belong to Merry Phillips

and Doug Moorehead, in a concert of duets for organ and piano, organ and harpsichord, and organ

and organ (both players playing the Kegg organ at the same time). You will enjoy hearing the former

Christ Church Organist and the current Christ Church Organist playing at the same time: two for the

price of one! Since this concert is free, your experience will be priceless!

The music selections are as varied as the performing situations. The program will include:

17

One movement of a Sonata in D minor for organ for four hands (and feet) by Gustav

Merkel, who was a German composer in the late 19th century who wrote in a Bach style

using the rich tone coloring of the 19th century;

A duet for two organists on one keyboard by Gerre Hancock, who was the

Choirmaster/Organist of St. Thomas Church in New York City for many years and just

recently deceased;

A Concerto for Two Organs by Antonio Soler, composed in the late 18th century near

Madrid and reflecting Spanish traditions, and being played by Merry on the Kegg organ

and Doug on his harpsichord;

A mellow jazz piece entitled VISIONS, composed by Joe Utterback for piano and organ

duet (Merry will do the piano part) and displaying a positively gorgeous melody;

and finally THE STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER by John Philip Sousa, arranged for

one organ 4 hands (and feet!).

We do hope that many of you will want to come and bring your friends to see how two people

can manipulate their hands and feet at the organ all at the same time. The console will be visible for

all to see from the nave, with harpsichord and piano adjacent. We think that everyone will truly enjoy

the wide variety of music in this program.
