Feast of the Epiphany Sunday, January 6, 2019

The Feast of the Epiphany will be celebrat-ed with a Choral High Mass at 11:00 am. The Epiphany is one of the seven principle feasts observed in the Episcopal Church. As we celebrated Christmas our focus was on taking in the wondrous mystery of the incarnation—God in human form—as we adored the helpless infant Lord in the manger. During Epiphany, we come to see Jesus as the “light of the world,” shifting our focus towards what His incarnation means for us and for the whole world. During the Epiphany season, as we “get to know” Jesus, we are also asked to respond to Him. Like the shep-herds who ran to the manger, the Magi who trav-elled great distances to bring Him gifts, and the disciples who heeded His call, we too can wor-ship and follow Him today. The name “Epiphany” is derived from a Greek word meaning “manifestation,” or “appearing.” Anglican prayer books interpret the word with an alternative title, “The Manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles.” The last title, of course, is a reference to the story of the Wise Men from the East. A Christian observance on January 6 is found as early as the end of the second century in Egypt. The feast combined

The Feast of The Holy Name

of Our Lord Jesus Christ Tuesday, January 1, 2019

The Feast of the Holy Name of Our Lord will be celebrated on January 1, 2019, at 10:00 am.

Epiphany Pageant, Burning of the Greens and Three Kings’ Dance Party

January 5, 2019 On Saturday, January 5, at 5:30 pm, there will be a special service to celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany. The service will follow a lessons and carols format, including a pageant in which parishioners (children and adults) will depict the scenes described in our scripture readings, and will conclude with a candlelight procession out-side and burning of the greens. A Three Kings’ Dance Party, with festive supper, will follow the service at 6:30 pm. Bring along a small branch from your Christmas tree to include in our Epiphany fire. If you or your child(ren)—or any child (ren) in your life—are interested in participating in the pageant, please contact Amy Wells at 404-

Parish Clean-Up April 6, 2019

On Saturday, April 6, 2019, from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm, we will be holding a Spring clean-up morning dedicated to getting the parish ready for the upcoming Easter celebrations. Please plan on joining your fellow parishioners and lending your talents to the cause of making our space a welcoming and inviting presence to everyone who comes to visit. A sign-up sheet is posted in the Parish Hall so that we can have an idea of how many volunteers to expect. Coffee, snacks and lunch will be provided to all participants.

Parish Luncheon April 7, 2019

Our regular First Sunday lunch will be held after the 11:00 am service on Sunday, April 7, 2019, in the parish hall. Those with last names ending in A through H are asked to bring a main dish, I through R a vegetable or side dish, and S through Z a dessert.

Stations of the CrossStations of the Cross will be celebrated

on Wednesdays in April (3rd, 10th and 17th) at 7:00 pm in the Nave.

Passiontide Begins April 7, 2019

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 participation in, the death and final days of Jesus.

This transition may have arisen because the season of Lent probably came about as a combination 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 traditional gospel for the First Passion Sunday ends with “Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple” (John 12:36) it is customary that during Passiontide, all images, all crucifixes, and pictures of Our Lord are covered with purple drapery. If you wish to help, please contact the church office at 404-872-4169 for further details.


Palm Sunday April 14, 2019

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 am. This will be followed by an 11:00 am Procession to the Church, the singing of the Passion, and a Solemn Eucharist.

Holy Triduum April 18-21, 2019

Traditionally, the last days of Holy Week are called are called the Holy Triduum: Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. We encourage all to join us for all ser-vices: the joy of Easter is more meaningful if you understand the sorrows that went before. A complete schedule of our services can be found on page 1 of this newsletter.

Continuing our conversation with Church of Our Saviour’s

Junior Warden Les FaulkEditor’s Note: As we noted in last month’s Angelus, there wasn’t enough space in that issue to include all of our Q&As with Les, so here are two additional questions we poised to him and he graciously answered.

Are there any particu-lar issues, within your realm as Junior War-

den, that you would like to see our parish address in the coming year?

In five short years, Our Saviour will be celebrating our Centennial since our founding almost one hundred years ago at the corner of Highland Avenue. We need to start planning for this celebration now!! We need to think about what we want to look like and how does our “packaging” appear to our community.

This is such an important milestone for any church or congregation and we need to take advantage of this huge opportunity to recommit ourselves and our congregation to our neighborhood and ensure that Our Saviour

is here for another hundred years. More ideas to come later.

What do you see as the bright spots or positive things, outside of your realm as Junior Warden, that have happened at Our Saviour in the last year?

Over the past few years, we have had big and small changes at Our Saviour; and as we know, change itself can be a real challenge to some. As a Vestry member, I have had the plea-sure of being part of the search committees for our new Priest and new Organist and Choir Master. These are changes that we have all been a part of.

At Our Saviour, some changes have been easy and some difficult. But overall, we have also been blessed by many positive events that we can all see in our buildings and grounds made over the recent years. These enhancements were all made possible with gifts and donations when-ever possible.

As everyone knows, it takes money to get things done and Our Saviour is always grateful to accept any gifts and pledges for our “packaging” and for the glory of God. Moreover, necessary capital improvements and planning are such an important issue for any successful long-term endeavor. Please know we appreciate any and all gifts made for our buildings and grounds and look to our future.

April 2019

the congregation’s candles are lit from the Paschal candle. As the Paschal candle proceeds forward the church grows lighter as more and more candles are lit.

At the front of the church the Paschal candle is put in its holder and a deacon sings the “Exsultet,” an ancient song about the Light of Christ that dates back to the first few centuries of Christianity. In older days (and for some mem-bers even nowadays), the congregation would take the fire from the Paschal candle with them to kindle a new fire in their homes.

The Liturgy of the WordNext is the Liturgy of the Word. Still in

darkness, a series of prophecies of the Resurrec-tion is read from the Old Testament, each sepa-rated by a psalm. These readings tell the story of God’s saving actions throughout mankind’s his-tory, such as the story of the Parting of the Red Sea and Noah’s ark and prophetic sayings such as the story of the valley of dry bones in Ezekiel. For Christians, this is a moment to absorb the history of the church, to really touch the past. In darkness, listening to the readings, it could almost be any time, any year and indeed, many of these scrip-tures have been read every year at this service since the second century. When these readings end, the Gloria is sung, the lights are turned on, all the candles are lit and the congregation rings bells.

Baptism and Renewal of Congregational VowsAfter a sermon is preached, Baptisms are

held. There was a time in the history of the church when this was the only service at which adults were baptized, and this is still a baptism of much pageantry, with the Paschal candle plunged into the water, the chrism, the candles given to each candidate, and the traditional white robe placed over their heads. If there are no baptisms then the congregation renews its baptismal vows.

The First Mass of EasterAfter the baptism, the first Mass of Easter

is celebrated, with great solemnity and joy. The Sacrament is again reserved and the sanctuary candle lit to mark the Presence of the risen Christ.

Easter is the most glorious day in the Church year, a culmination of all the Sundays. Indeed it is likely that, in the ancient church, the weekly Sundays and the Easter services were the only services held and at least one authority suggests that the first Easter service may have been held as early as the first anniversary of Jesus’s death and resurrection, although there was some controversy over whether to celebrate Easter on its anniver-sary date (no matter what day of the week it fell on) or always on a Sunday. So Easter is regarded as the Queen of Feasts and many Christians con-sider attendance mandatory. Since it is most likely that the ancient church’s original Easter services lasted from Saturday’s sunset to Sunday’s sunrise some modern churches celebrate the Easter service at sunrise, some at sunset, and some at various times between. Our service starts at approximately sundown on the Saturday before Easter Sunday and lasts until approximately midnight.

Most churches also celebrate services on Easter Day itself, but these services, however grand and glorious, are not the Easter Service. The real Easter Service is the vigil service which takes the congregation from Jesus’s death through his Resurrection.

The Easter Vigil service has four parts.The Service of Light

The first part is the Service of Light. The Vigil Service starts at nightfall and the members of the congregation are handed unlit candles. The new fire is kindled, and then the Paschal Candle, a huge candle about four feet long and three inches thick, with elaborate decorations of lambs, crosses and other symbols as well as the date of the current year, is dedicated and blessed. The dedication involves cutting a cross into the candle and driving wax nails into it. Then the candle is lit from the new fire. This candle will burn at all services from Easter to Pentecost, and at all baptisms and funerals during the year.

A deacon carries the candle in, stopping three times to chant, “The light of Christ.” The congregation follows the Paschal candle in through the side aisles. When the Deacon pauses,

The much-spoken-of Congregational Assessment Tool (CAT) – “the CAT that comes from the Cow!” (with apologies for the mixed-metaphors) – is now available. An introductory note and link to the CAT was emailed to all parishioners for whom we had an email address in late March. The link will only remain active through Palm Sunday, April 14.

If you did not receive our unique link to participate, we need your current email address. Please contact the Parish Administrator ([email protected]) to update your email address. Paper copies of the survey are available by contacting the parish office, (404) 872-4169.

Holy Cow! Consulting, which administers the CAT, has been engaged by parish leadership to identify areas in our corporate life that are sources of strength and energy, as well as any areas that may need attention. As Suellen Hender-son, the Vestry liaison for growth and strategic

Not only will the CAT explore where we stand, it will also inform the parish leadership where there is energy and interest in going, as we think about our corporate life toward our centenary and the years beyond.

Your input is vital to making the CAT instructive for the Vestry and Fr. Miller. Please take 20 to 30 minutes this week to complete your response to the CAT. If you have already done so, please accept our thanks.

Special Offerings











April 2019

This newsletter will be published near Laetare, the fourth Sunday in Lent, and, tradition-ally, a day of celebration within a season of austerity. The word laetare is from the Introit in the Latin rite and means “Rejoice.”

Sometimes, this fourth Sunday is also called “Refreshment Sunday” because the Church calls us to refresh ourselves in the wellspring of the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ. The particular Gospel that we hear on Laetare is “The Parable of the Prodigal and His Brother” (Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32) – the last in the “Trilogy of the Lost” (coin, sheep, and son).

In this familiar parable, the spendthrift younger brother is the attention-getter. The younger brother demands his inheritance before the time. He goes very far astray – “into a far country,” leaving home and squandering this gift in extravagant, “loose living” (the Authorized Version says, “riotous living”). Once the money is gone, realizing his father’s servants fare better than the conditions he faces feeding pigs, he returned home to ask for work as a hired servant.

His father sees him at a distance and runs to embrace and kiss him. Perhaps even before the son could finish his apology, the father had his son richly clothed and a feast prepared. “[F]or this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.” This prodigal son returns and, like the tax collectors and sinners drawing near to Jesus to hear the parable, draws near to his father.

We aren’t done here, though, as there are two brothers in the story. The older brother, out working in the field, hears the festivities and is angry to learn what they are about. He refuses to come in, even though the father comes to him, to bring him in. The older son has been keeping score: “Lo, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command; yet you

never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends. But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you killed for him the fatted calf!”

The story ends with the father affirming his love for both his sons: “Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. It was fitting to make merry and be glad; for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.” The elder brother is likened to the Pharisees and scribes murmuring against Jesus. He is as lost and far off as was his reckless brother, if in a different way. Whether the elder brother will be able to draw near to his father is left unknown.

I have to admit to empathizing with the older brother somewhat, from time to time. This is something of which I am not proud, for at the root is the deadly sin of envy. And envy is the result of ingratitude. I am sorry for this.

In the Christian story, unlike the parable, when the wayward younger brother first appears on the distant horizon, it is the Son who runs out, with arms outstretched. For this amazing grace, this incredible generosity, I am most grateful.

This Lenten season, we recall: “It was the faithful One who died for the unfaithful; the selfless One who died for the selfish. It was the One whose own life was never touched by the stain of sin, who allowed Himself to suffer the full penalties of the sin of the other. And all without resentment; without refusal; without the completely understandable anger that we hear from the older brother in the parable. The Savior shows nothing but the self-giving love for us, younger brothers and sisters, who have made ourselves oh-so-difficult to love. Reconciling the whole world to Himself, not even counting their trespasses against them.”1

The crucifix, hanging in front of the rood screen in our church, is a reminder of this great love. The arms of Christ are outstretched, as He looks down. I can lift up my eyes and pray for mercy and forgiveness.

The Rev’d Andrew Meade, in another sermon on this parable, summed it up this way: “When we refresh ourselves in the realization that everything we have, every breath we draw,

RejoiceGenerosıtyın











Are you up for a challenge? It’s time for the 2019 Hunger Walk, and we need all who are willing to walk, run, or donate money to combat hunger in the diocese!

everything and everyone around us, is a gift from God; when we are reborn in our knowledge of God as the loving Father of Jesus who loves and cares for us every instant of our life; then we are drinking from the wellspring of grace. Then, Jesus says of the poor in spirit, we are blessed and possess the Kingdom of heaven. Then, instead of keeping score, we count our blessings. Then gratitude and love drive out sorrow and envy. Then all the ‘older’ brothers and sisters rejoice in the homecoming of the ‘younger’ brothers and sisters, and heed the Father’s invita-tion to come in and celebrate.

“… For our gracious God and Father is always with us. All that he has is ours. It is always fitting to make merry and be glad when a lost family member comes home, when new people discover or rediscover Christ and join or rejoin his Body, the Church. Let us rejoice, praise God, and love one another.”2, 3

2019 United Thank Offering

Last year, the Rev’d Canon Heather Melton, the Episcopal Church’s staff officer for the United Thank Offering, wrote of her seminary years, spent at St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church. The tradition of this parish is to read the Paschal Sermon of St. John Chrysostom before entering the church, at the Great Vigil of Easter.

“As I read the text this year, I realized that what is really profound about the sermon is that my response to it is gratitude. I read it and am grateful. … I was shocked to realize that, when I really sit with my emotions as Holy Week unfolds, my response to all of it is gratitude. I’m shocked because had you asked me before I really began working on my personal spiritual discipline of gratitude, I probably would have said that my response to Holy Week was sadness and joy. … I read and listen and am reminded that I am made new through the love of God and I am sustained by responding to that love with gratitude. …

“If we live a life of gratitude and give thanks that we are enough and that we have enough, we’ll find a lifestyle of abundance. Gratitude will overcome scarcity, it will resurrect the person God created us to be because God created us as signs of love to a broken and hurt-ing world.”

The Catechetical Sermon of St. John Chrysostom“If any man be devout and love God, let

him enjoy this fair and radiant triumphal feast. If any man be a wise servant, let him rejoicing enter into the joy of his Lord. If any have labored long in fasting, let him now receive his recom-pense. If any have wrought from the first hour, let him today receive his just reward. If any have come at the third hour, let him with thankfulness keep the feast. If any have arrived at the sixth hour, let him have no misgivings; because he shall in nowise be deprived thereof. If any have delayed until the ninth hour, let him draw near, fearing nothing. If any have tarried even until the eleventh hour, let him, also, be not alarmed at his tardiness; for the Lord, who is jealous of his honor, will accept the last even as the first;

he gives rest unto him who comes at the eleventh hour, even as unto him who has wrought from the first hour.

“And he shows mercy upon the last, and cares for the first; and to the one he gives, and upon the other he bestows gifts. And he both accepts the deeds, and welcomes the intention, and honors the acts and praises the offering. Wherefore, enter you all into the joy of your Lord; and receive your reward, both the first, and likewise the second. You rich and poor together, hold high festival. You sober and you heedless, honor the day. Rejoice today, both you who have fasted and you who have disregarded the fast. The table is full-laden; feast ye all sumptuously. The calf is fatted; let no one go hungry away.

“Enjoy ye all the feast of faith: Receive ye all the riches of loving-kindness. let no one bewail his poverty, for the universal kingdom has been revealed. Let no one weep for his iniquities, for pardon has shown forth from the grave. Let no one fear death, for the Savior’s death has set us free. He that was held prisoner of it has annihi-lated it. By descending into Hell, He made Hell captive. He embittered it when it tasted of His flesh. And Isaiah, foretelling this, did cry: Hell, said he, was embittered, when it encountered Thee in the lower regions. It was embittered, for it was abolished. It was embittered, for it was mocked. It was embittered, for it was slain. It was embittered, for it was overthrown. It was embit-tered, for it was fettered in chains. It took a body, and met God face to face. It took earth, and

encountered Heaven. It took that which was seen, and fell upon the unseen.

“O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory? Christ is risen, and you are overthrown. Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen. Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and life reigns. Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave. For Christ, being risen from the dead, is become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
