liturgies (see the schedule for Holy Week) consti-
tute one continuous service over a three-day
period. These few days contain all the mysteries
of salvation—the rest of the year is really only an
attempt to explore these three days from various
angles.
It is during the Paschal Triduum that we
liturgically encounter the deepest mysteries of
faith. Before we have rational arguments and
ideas to offer to the world, we have a story. I am
reminded of David Bentley Hart’s wise words in
his book Infinite Beauty,
“What Christian thought offers the world is
not a set of ‘rational’ arguments that force assent
from others by leaving them, like the interlocu-
tors of Socrates, at a loss for words; rather it
stands before the world principally with the story
it tells concerning God and creation; the form of
Christ, the loveliness of the practice of Christian
charity—and the rhetorical richness of its idiom.
Making its appeal first to the eye and heart, as the
only way it may “command” assent, the church
cannot separate truth from rhetoric, or from
beauty. “(p. 4)
This Passiontide we will be invited to let
the Gospel appeal to our eyes and hearts, and it
just might mean that Christ’s truth commands our
assent because it is good, and trustworthy, and
beautiful. I pray that our journey together this
month will deepen our faith and change our
hearts and minds to see the world and each other
as the great mysteries that they are: beloved of
God and destined for eternal beatitude.
Under His mercy,
Father Zachary R. Thompson
Dear friends of The Church of Our Saviour,
This March is going to be a liturgically
rich season! On March 6 (The Fourth Sunday
in Lent) we will have Bishop Wimberly with
us to confirm several members of our parish.
Confirmation provides a sacramental means
for a person to make a mature public affirma-
tion of their faith and commitment to the
responsibilities of their Baptism and to re-
ceive the laying on of hands by the bishop: a
living heir of the apostles.
In the second half of March we will
move into Passiontide, which begins on the
eve of the Fifth Sunday in Lent and includes
Palm Sunday and Holy Week, ending just
before the great Vigil on Easter Eve. I want
to invite you to attend as many of the services
during Passiontide as you possibly can. In
particular make it a point to be here for the
Paschal Triduum (Maundy Thursday, Good
Friday, and the Easter Vigil). These three

Palm Sunday March 20, 2016
Our Palm Sunday festivities will start with the 8:30 am Traditional Holy Eucharist with Distribution of Palms. Then we will gather in the Church garden (weather permitting), the Parish Hall otherwise, for distribution and blessing of Palms at 10:45. This will be followed by an 11:00 am Procession to the Church, the singing of the Passion, and a Solemn Eucharist.
Easter Receptions March 26-27, 2016
After our Easter Vigil service on Saturday, March 26, 2016, we will have our annual Easter Eve reception with everyone attending asked to bring a finger-food type item. The Henry VIIIth Guild will be hosting the event, but, as always, they could use a couple of volunteers to help them with both the set-up and clean-up of the reception. On Easter we will have an 8:30 am Said Mass and an 11:00 am High Mass with a baptism. As we did last year, instead of having a coffee hour or reception after each service, we will be having a between-the-services reception with an Easter Egg Hunt for the children. Again, every-one attending is asked to bring a finger-food type item to share. (For those with children, the Easter Egg Hunt will begin around 10 am.) Along with celebrating this special day in the life of the church, this reception will give us the opportunity to welcome Sydney and Chaney Carvalho to the parish. These two little girls are the twin daughters of Jack and James Carvalho and will be baptized at the 11am service. Please make plans to stay after the early service or come early to the 11:00 am service to celebrate Easter and meet the Carvalho family.
Parish Luncheon March 6, 2016
Our regular First Sunday meal will be after the 11:00 Eucharist on March 6, 2016. Those with last names beginning in A-H are asked to bring a dessert, I-R a main dish and S-Z a vegetable or side dish.
Passiontide March 13, 2016
The last two weeks before Easter, called Passiontide, are a transitional time, part of Lent and yet not a part of Lent. During Passiontide the focus of Lent moves from an examination of one’s personal relationship with God to a prolonged meditation on, and, in a sense, a partic-ipation in, the death and final days of Jesus. This transition may have arisen because the season of Lent probably came about as a combi-nation of a forty-day period of fasting and prayer immediately after Epiphany (in imitation of Christ’s forty-day period of preparation for his ministry) and a shorter period of fasting and preparation for Easter. Passiontide is the time of preparation for Easter. The two Sundays before Easter were once called the First Sunday of the Passion and the Second Sunday of the Passion. Since the tradi-tional gospel for the First Passion Sunday ends with “Jesus hid himself and went out of the tem-ple” (John 12:36) it is customary that during Pas-siontide, all images, all crucifixes, and pictures of Our Lord are covered with purple drapery. If you wish to help, please contact Chris McGehee at 404-873-3729 for further details.
Events During March The Feast Days are major feasts listed in our Book of Common Prayer.

Hymns, Part II By Dr. Daniel Pyle
The previous installment of this article
ended by pointing out the information found at the end of each hymn in our hymnal: the author of the hymn (i.e., the text as a hymn is a poem), the composer of the tune, and the name of the tune (e.g., “Nicæa” for the hymn “Holy, holy, holy”).
There is a third bit of information, found in the lower right-hand corner of each hymn; a sequence of numbers. This is a numerical repre-sentation of the structure of each stanza, and is referred to as the “meter” of the hymn — that is, of the poem. Each number stands for the number of syllables in each line of the poem. For exam-ple, at the end of both versions of “Fairest Lord Jesus” (nos. 383 and 384 in the Hymnal 1982), is found the metrical designation 568.558. This tells us that each verse (“strophe”) has two halves, and in each half there are three lines. The first line of the first half has five syllables (Fair - est Lord Je - sus), the second has six (Ru - ler of all na - ture), the third has eight (O thou of God and man the Son). In the second half, the fourth line has five syllables (thee will I cher - ish), the fifth line has five (thee will I hon - or), and the sixth and final line has eight (thou, my soul’s glo - ry, joy, and crown). All of the verses have the same structure of syllables. This is what we
mean when we say that a hymn is a “strophic” poem — “strophe” being the technical term for the verse of a song.
There are a few metrical structures which are so frequently used that they have names instead of just a sequence of numbers. The most commonly found pattern is called, appropriately, Common Meter (abbreviated in the hymnal as CM), and it has four lines per stanza with eight syllables in the first line, six in the second, eight in the third, and six in the last — or 8.6.8.6, as it would be expressed numerically. “Amazing Grace” is in the Common Meter, as is “O God, our help in ages past,” and a host of others. The Long Meter (LM) is in the pattern 8.8.6.8, such as no. 474 “When I survey the wondrous Cross” and “Praise God from whom all blessings flow.” The Short Meter (SM) is 6.8.6.8, as in no. 411, “O bless the Lord, my soul!” One other abbrevia-tion is found on occasion, and that is a letter “D” after the meter-numbers: it means simply “doubled.” “O little town of Bethlehem” (nos. 78 and 79) is one such, designated CMD. There are eight lines in each verse — 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6., which is just like two stanzas of Common Meter butted together, or “doubled.” The doubling can occur in an even more literal sense. Sometimes a hymn of four stanzas, like “Come, thou long-expected Jesus” (metrical pattern 8.7.8.7) can be sung to a single-meter tune like ”Stuttgart,” as it is in the Hymnal 1982 at no. 66; but in other hymnals it often is linked with the tune “Hyfrydol” (metrical pattern 8.7.8.7 D), in which case it is sung in two verses (one time through the melody encompasses two verses of the poem); the same thing happens to “Take my life and let it be,” which is in two verses in our hym-nal (no. 707, tune “Hollingside” — 77.77 D), but which is also commonly sung in four verses to a tune which is 77.77 in meter.
The Hymnal 1982, like most hymnals, includes at least four indices; by poetical authors, by musical composers, by name of tunes, and by first line of text. One can, for example, look up all the hymns by Charles Wesley or by Saint Ambrose of Milan, or all the tunes by J. S. Bach, or all the different hymns for which the tune “Hyfrydol” is used. The accompaniment edition of the hymnal, the one that the organist uses, also
March 2016 Page 5 THE ANGELUS
includes indices by metrical patterns, and by scriptural reference and topical matter.
In general, one can interchange texts and tunes which share the same metrical structure. Sometimes there are amusing possibilities that arise. My own favorite example is that of two songs in Common Meter, “Amazing Grace” and the theme song for the television series “Gilligan’s Island.” One can sing John Newton’s hymn to the tune from the TV show, and equally one can sing the words “Just sit right back and I’ll tell a tale, a tale of a fateful trip...” to the tune “New Britain.” Try it! It is also possible to do the same kind of swapping of text and tune for less frivolous purposes. Drawing again from my own experience, the best example is the 19th century American revival-song “What a friend we have in Jesus.” The familiar tune (one that has serious musical shortcomings) tends to emphasize the friendliness of Jesus. But this song can be sung equally well—or even better, I believe—to the Welsh tune “Ton-y-botel” (also known in some hymnals as “Ebenezer”), which is mostly associ-ated with the hymn “Once to every man and nation.” Sung with this tune, the text “What a friend...” acquires a different perspective, one that draws more attention to the realities of living in a fallen world. Most of this might be considered as “FYI” kind of stuff. Is there any immediate or practical application? There is. Our hymnal is a repository of much of the greatest devotional literature of the Church, in poetical form. Even if one cannot, or will not, sing the hymns at home, one can read or recite them—since a hymn is, after all, a poem. In it one can find meditations in our hym-nal on all the seasons of the church year, on most of the major life-stages through which we all pass, and the nature of God, our relationships to Him and to each other. These meditations were written by many of the greatest minds and hearts in the Church Eternal—Ambrose, Catherine of Siena, Francis of Assisi, Martin Luther, Paul Gerhardt, John and Charles Wesley, Isaac Watts, John Newton, Jaroslav Vajda, and John of Damascus, to name only a few. And they are there in a form that can grip both the mind and the heart. Every household should have one of
2016 Hunger Walk/Run Sunday, March 13, 2016
2:00 pm Mark your calendars now for this year’s Hunger Walk/Run. Father Zack is captaining our team and we are hoping to raise a minimum of $1,000.00 to show the support of our parish in the diocese’s efforts “to raise awareness and funds to help fight hunger in our community.” We are looking for people to donate to our team and/or to participate in the walk/run itself. Go to the article about the event in the News section of the parish’s website. There is a link there that will take you directly to our team’s fundraising page.
Visit by Assisting Bishop Don Wimberly March 6, 2016
The Right Reverend Don Wimberly will be with us on Sunday, March 6, at both services. He will be confirming two people, Rosie Henson and Alex Smith, at the 11am service. Since Rosie and Alex generally attend the 8:30 service we are going to have a festive reception between the services that day so every-one will have the opportunity to celebrate with them on their special day. Then, following the 11am service, we will be having our usual monthly parish luncheon.
Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of
Father Jeffrey Cave's Ordination
Everyone in the parish is invited to attend a spe-cial Saturday noontime Mass which is being held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Father Jef-frey Cave's ordination to the priesthood. Father Cave has been an important part of the Church of Our Saviour for many years and we are hon-ored to be asked to help him celebrate such an important occasion. Following the service a reception will be held in the parish hall.

Treasurer’s Annual Budget Report
From the Episcopal Church’s Manual of Busi-ness Methods in Church Affairs: “Budgeting is the allocation of the church’s resources, in accordance with a plan, for the achievement of its objectives and goals. The church budget is one of the most effec-tive tools available for the proper stewardship of the church’s assets. (I-1) The Church of Our Saviour operates with an annually adopted budget in which resources are carefully and conscientiously allocated to support the needs of our clergy and staff, our worship and programs, our physical plant, and our outreach. Development of the budget for 2016 began at the end of 2015. The Every Member Canvass and pledges received inform the treasurer, finance com-mittee, and vestry what level of revenue the parish can anticipate for the coming year. Recent expense levels, along with input gathered from the rector and others responsible for church administration and programs, provide a framework for allocating that revenue through the framework of a budget. The treasurer and Finance Committee drafted alternate scenario budgets that were presented to the vestry at its regular meeting on January 30. Follow-ing extended review and discussion, an operating budget was adopted for the year. The annual budget and comparative revenue and expenses for the prior year for the operating fund are summarized in the table on page 7. Highlights are summarized below.
Revenue Revenue for the Church of Our Saviour is comprised of pledge income and freewill offerings. In addition, over the past decade, the diocesan bishop has been providing financial support to the parish. The parish does not have a significant en-dowment as a source of funding.
The Every Member Canvass for 2016 concluded with 45 pledges totaling $161,190. This repre-sents two fewer pledging households and approximately $14,000 less than 2015.
Non-pledged income increased significantly in 2015 and 2016 was budgeted at just slightly less than the actual received in the prior year, counter-balancing part of the reduction in pledged income.
Diocesan Grant-Transition is a three-year grant from the bishop to transition that has supported the parish’s transition from a part-time priest working in retirement to a full-time rector. The amount was larger in Year 1 (2014) and de-
creased about $10,000 in Year 3 (2016) to $12,000 for 2016; this subsidy disappears in 2017.
Diocesan Grant-Chaplaincy: we are fortunate to continue to receive a supplement of $22,500 from the diocese for Fr. Thompson’s work as chaplain at Emory, which has been included as operating
income.
GAP’s operations currently pay program expenses, staff, and identifiable charges for utilities and cer-tain administrative support (e.g., bookkeeping). Based on the positive operating results GAP has shown over the past two years, a modest mainte-nance contribution to the parish’s operating budget was introduced for 2016.
Expenses How the parish utilizes the resources with which we are entrusted reveals how our ministries are made possible. This is how we share the Good News of the Gospel and continue the spread of God’s Kingdom. Generally, expenses are based on recent history, along with gathered input from the rector and others responsible for church administration and programs. A number of expenses are fixed or contractual in nature, for example: insurance, employee benefits and taxes, mortgage interest, etc.
Staff expense represents the salary and benefits for our rector, organist/choirmaster, and part-time ad-ministrative support. No salary increases were in-corporated for 2016, but the number of hours for the parish administrator was increased, from 12 to 16 per week.
Program expenses support our proclamation of the Good News and include worship supplies, the Sun-day school program, and music. Items in this cate-gory were adopted at about the same overall level as 2015 but included a revision in allocation among worship supplies, the addition of a small provision for vestment repair, and an increase in Christian education (children’s church school). Of particular note, the Vestry’s discussion expressed gratitude for the hard work of Amy Wells and others work-ing with her in this growing ministry and commit-ted additional financial support to educating our children in the faith.
Administration expenses include office equipment and supplies, postage, and telephone. This category increased slightly from the 2015 budgeted level, due to a diocesan requirement for outside financial review, a modest increase in our provision for tech-nology support, and publicity. Increases were partly offset by cost savings achieved through combining
March 2016 Page 7 THE ANGELUS
programs and ministries we have and to supporting grow-ing priorities such as Christian education. We must also deal with the realities of maintaining the facilities that house these programs. With the growth in attendance that we are gladly experiencing, there is the hope that we will see increased giving. As the year goes on, the treasurer, finance commit-tee, and vestry will maintain its focus on how the budget compares with our actual experience, and respond as need-ed. We are committed to balancing practices that are sound for our future financial stability with the hope that we will address the essential needs of the parish and provide sup-port for this mission and ministry. As a “safety net,” the projected deficit is less than the surplus from 2015, which remains in the operating fund balance should 2016 revenue not exceed current expectations. It is my hope, as your treasurer, that sharing the budget and a sense of some of the discussion that went into its formation will give confidence to the parish that its con-tributions are being well directed and well managed. All that said, the story does not end. These numbers are details symbolizing the mission and ministry of the Church of Our Saviour. The revenue and expenses outlined here reflect the physical and practical needs of the parish in order that it may continue to carry out its spiritual work. A budget is not important primarily in itself, but is important in point-ing to its proper end: our “outward and visible signs” of our Christian faith and our work for the spread of His Kingdom.
internet service and migrating to a lower cost option for our database/accounting package.
Property costs represent a little over a quarter of our expenses and include utilities, insurance, mortgage interest, and maintenance of our church buildings and rectory. Our property is utilized every day of the week: in worship and in ministries like the Garrison Afterschool Program and Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous. Repairs and maintenance for the church and parish house were budgeted slightly higher than the prior year, as we continue to address the costs of upkeep of aging facilities and systems. Utility cost savings are anticipated through changing our natural gas marketer, while electricity costs and water and sewer costs are relatively fixed on an upward trend. The 2016 budget introduced a provision of 3% of oper-ating revenue for capital reserves, for future major repairs.
Outreach includes our diocesan assessment, which supports missions in our diocese and the world, as well as community ministries. This item increased slightly for the coming year, due to an increase in our diocesan assessment.
The budget adopted shows a net deficit of just under $10,000 for the coming year. While the parish does not have the resources to engage in deficit spending on a con-tinuing basis, the sense of the vestry was that, at the beginning of the year, we committed to maintaining the

Stewardship By Brian Mullaney
Lent began on Ash Wednesday, a special day of devotion for most Christians and a day when churches are packed like no other except Christmas and Easter. At our 7:00 am Mass, there were several pews with three seated – where barely two will fit! Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent – a time when we are called to self-examination and repentance, to think again about our life’s journey and where we are going. The Reverend Canon Carl Turner recounts another, recent Ash Wednesday, “When I was giving out the ashes on Wednesday afternoon, in between the services, a young woman walked up the aisle – she was on her own and she had heavy boots on and everyone in the church heard every footstep as she stomped her way up. She tried to walk quietly but she couldn’t. As she approached me, a smile came across her face and she let out a sigh ‘Ah!’ she whispered, ‘It’s a long way, isn’t it?’ ‘Yes,’ I said, ‘It is a long way … Remember, O Man, that dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return.’ And, as we add in the Church of England at the ashing, ‘Turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ.’” “Jesus,” Father Turner continues, “also gives very clear instructions for action to accom-pany our fasting and our prayer – and by that way He tells us that we lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven.” Saint Ignatius of Loyola begins his Spiritual Exercises stating the “first principle and founda-tion” permeating his exemplary way of life, “Human beings were created to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord, and by this means to save their souls. The other things on the face of the earth are created for them to help them in at-
taining the end for which they are created. Hence they are to make use of these things in as far as they help them in the attainment of their end, and they must rid themselves of them in as far as they provide a hindrance to them”. Put another way, for the course of our lives, we are stewards of God’s good gifts – life, ener-gy, and material resources. We choose how to use these gifts, ultimately defining the character of our life and the depth of our spiritual under-standing. “Stewards see everything good as gifts received from God and they respond in grati-tude.” “Stewardship is a conversion journey of receiving God’s love and returning love to Him.” (Office of Stewardship. “The Pillars of Parish Stewardship,” Wichita, Kansas: Catholic Diocese of Wichita, May 2004.) “The conversion to stewardship as a way of life is a journey of the individual, the family, the parish, the diocese and the Universal Church. What makes such conversion possible? As stated above, it is God’s love for us that lies at the heart of such conversion. ‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life.’ (John 3:16).” (Ibid.) The severe language of the Ash Wednesday litur-gy also points toward the joyful conclusion that comes at the end: “the message of pardon and absolution set forth in the Gospel of our Savior.” (BCP, 265)
Lent provides an occasion to reflect on the gifts we have received from God and to consider making provisions for the continued good use of those gifts when life is done. A planned gift to this parish can provide a final testament about the importance of our Christian faith and the work that goes on here. Will you take Lent as an occasion to prayerfully consider your will, whether writing it for the first time or revising it if circumstances have changed, and designating a gift to support God’s work through the Church of Our Saviour? “Planned Giving” packets with resources to aid in responding to this question are available on the literature table at the back of the church or

call the parish office to have one mailed to you. Two booklets developed by the Episcopal Church Foundation are included: Planned Giv-ing: Stewards of God’s Bounty, which describes giving through immediate, deferred, or life in-come gifts, and Planning for the End of Life: Faithful Stewards of Your Good Gifts, which provides information about setting forth a medi-cal directive, planning your funeral service, and preparing to write a will. If you have questions of a spiritual nature, Fr. Thompson is available to speak with you. The officers of the Vestry are available to address any questions you may have about the future mission and ministry of our parish. For legal or other pro-fessional advice, please consult an attorney, cer-tified public accountant, or other professional counselor. All of us are indebted to the past, to those who preceded us. We share a faith whose foun-dations we have not laid but that we seek to build upon and shore for future generations. We are the forebears of the future, for those who succeed us. We are called to be faithful to those who have gone before us and to offer our best to those who will follow us.
