A FRESH COAT OF PAINT FOR THE RECTORY

The Yearly Bucket List Oath:

I solemnly swear to create memories that last a lifetime.

I vow to make an impression on the world, not the couch.

I promise to dream about unrealistic goals.

And make them my reality. - Anonymous

Dear Friends,

Many of us have thoughts about our own, personal bucket lists. Whether we have put pen to paper or have simply

housed a mental list. It is a wonderful thing to be able to check them off – as I recently was able to do, having

achieved a few of my own while on Sabbatical. And as I get up (earlier than usual) every morning to spend an hour

working on my Spanish, I am hoping to “√ ” it off my list…..just in time for one another item – but this one, from

our Parish Bucket List.

What am I talking about? In our recent parish conversations we shared with one another the many dreams and hopes

we have for Christ Church – what could be called “The Christ Church Bucket List”.

Some of the aspirations were of little surprise. I had in fact thought of them myself. But I was totally surprised by

some of your wonderful desires and the vision of what we together can be.

Someone mentioned hosting foreign exchange students. We included that in the brochure “Make Us Instruments of

Your Blessing”, but I really didn’t think there was much chance in anything materializing along those lines. Was I

surprised! Days after finishing the brochure I received a call from an organization wanting to place a high school

student with one of our families – and voila! Peggy James and John Callaghan will be welcoming a Chinese young

man into their home this August. Be careful what you pray for – or what you put on that bucket list!

Someone else mentioned the parish should go on a mission trip. “Well”, I thought to myself, “If someone has the

time and inclination to do all the planning and work that needs to go into something like that…” You can see I am

sometimes lacking in the FAITH department – but I did make sure that “Mission Trips” went into the Brochure.

Shortly thereafter – yes, you guessed it! – I got an email informing me that the Monmouth Convocation is going on a

Mission Trip to the Dominican Republic next April – and you are all invited! Isn’t it amazing what God does when

we simply put it out there? And how wonderfully it fits in with my own Bucket List item of becoming fluent in

Spanish. I am sending in my deposit this week (there is information on the trip elsewhere in this newsletter; do take a

look and send in yours, too) and now I am even more determined than ever to keep at the Spanish so I can take a stab

at preaching when we land in the Dominican Republic next April.

Many of you mentioned wanting our Church to be known as a place of Sanctuary. Opening our doors to the

community around us, perhaps offering ESL classes (English as a Second Language) and exploring what we might

do to respond to the current refugee crisis. You may not be able to guess what has happened in the meantime (I know

I was not able to do so): I got an email from a cleric who I had met in Ecuador in February. While I was there, I had

told him and his wife that if they ever made it to the States to look me up (I tell this to folks wherever I travel). His

email told me that they were on their way to New Jersey. On July 12th I met them at the Little Silver Train Station

and spent the day showing them the churches of Monmouth County and talking about the possibility of them doing

ministry in this part of the State. Before his ordination José was a community activist and organizer and Mercedes is

a social worker, and of course both fluent in Spanish; the perfect résumés to tackle so many of our dreams! I am now

seeing our Parish Bucket List with a set of new eyes; who knows what God will do among us next?

So: this has been my summer so far. It is proving to be a time of renewed dreams and of collecting a vision for what

will come next. I invite you to share with me and the congregation what you have been thinking, praying, working

on during the summer. Look through the Brochure you recently received in the mail; are you finding it a reality?

Have ideas of how we can “√” off one more item?

It is a wonderful thing to dream. It is better to find a dream take shape in reality. And best of all is to do so with the

Community of Faith, with God’s help.

Peace,

Mother Lisa+

P.S. I just got off the phone with Dave Cassidy who told me he is on his way to Canada to work on a documentary

about refugee families. I asked him to see if there may be a possibility for us to partner in the support and care of that

work. Cross your fingers and say your prayers; God is certainly at work!

Christ Church to Host

Christian Educators Luncheon

Christian Educators from local Episcopal Churches

are invited to a luncheon on Saturday, August 5th

from 11:00am to 1:00pm. This includes children,

youth and adults. Besides enjoying one another’s

company, we would like everyone to bring in

samples of what curriculum you are using. We

encourage you to share how your program is shaped

and any interesting ideas you may have. Here at

Christ Church, we invite anyone who is interested

in our Christian Education Programs to join us.

RSVP at the Church Office (phone or email) by

August 3rd.

Monmouth Convocation Meeting A lot has been going in the Diocese of New Jersey!

We are considering who we are and what kind of

ministry we want for the future. Have you ever

wondered: Just what is the role of the Diocese?

Who are they, exactly, and what is our relationship

to the Diocese? We are all invited to a special

Convocation Meeting On August 24th at St. Uriel’s,

Seagirt, at 7:00pm. If you would like to go, there

will be carpooling, leaving from the Christ Church

Parking Lot at 6:30pm. Contact the Church Office

to let Mother Lisa know if you would like go with

us.

Mass on the Grass

Saturday Evenings @ 5:00PM

(counts for Sunday!)

Mass on the Grass will continue through Labor

Day Weekend.

8:00AM & 10:00AM Services resume:

We return to our FALL service schedule on

September 10.

Mission Trip: Dominican Republic

The Mission Trip to the Dominican Republic is set

for the week of April 10-17, 2018. It is now time to

make a commitment to the trip. The total cost for

the 8-day trip will be $1800. This will include your

airfare, transportation, lodging, food, and cost for

daily supplies for the work project.

The initial deposit of $500 is due by Friday

September 1, 2017. Please submit to Christ Church

at 415 Washington Street Toms River NJ 08753.

Make the check out to "Christ Church." In the

memo area, please put "DR Mission Trip." A

schedule for the rest of the payments will be set up.

We will have a meeting in the fall to discuss details

of this trip and to decide on a work project. Charlie

Nakash, who has been sent to work in the DR from

the Diocese of New Jersey, will work closely with

us on the project. We also will have ample

opportunities to interact with the children and adults

of the DR.

If you have any questions, contact Mother Lisa at

the Church Office.

Second Saturday Workday

Please mark your calendar for the next workday that

will be held on Saturday September 9th, 10:00 AM

to 4:00 PM (rain or shine). Much of the summer

growth and unwanted weeds need attention. In

general there is always more to be done then

helping hands taking part. Most tasks can be

handled by any age group or skill level. This is a

good opportunity for those who need community

service credit. Your help for an hour or two will be

greatly appreciated. My cooking skills are basic, but

a hot lunch will be provided. Walter Dein

Convent Kiosk A VERY Special Event – Don’t Miss it!

Tuesday, August 15 at 7:00pm

Christ Church Parish House

Dear parishioners of Christ Church,

We are delighted to invite you to see and purchase

handmade religious articles such as icons, crosses,

and embroidered and ceramic gifts, made by the

Sisters of St. Elisabeth Convent (Orthodox Diocese

of Minsk, Belarus).

The exposition will take place on Tuesday,

August 15 at 7:00pm at the Parish House.

Sister Alena, who is making her first trip to the

USA will be here to talk about the work the Sisters

do and to share their handiwork. Light fare will be

served. Please read more about them below:

Dear Parishioners of Christ Church,

The Sisterhood of Saint Elisabeth was founded in

1996. For more than 15 years our sisters have been

rendering spiritual, social and financial support to

the sick and the suffering at the National Psychiatric

Clinic, a boarding home for children with special

needs and mentally challenged adults, as well as a

TB Clinic.

In recent years a rehabilitation center for the

homeless, drug and alcohol addicts, and ex-

prisoners was established 20 miles away from the

Convent. About 200 residents live here today. Many

lost and struggling people get a chance to tackle

their problems and start a new life with God.

A rehabilitation facility for females was established

in 2012. Women released from jail, the homeless

and mentally challenged women stay there. Today

there are 11 women and one toddler at this

farmstead.

To help these people, workshops were established

on the grounds of the Convent. Many of these sick

people have a possibility to express themselves in

art for God, working together with the nuns and

sisters and making beautiful articles (hand painted

icons crosses, crucifixes, woodcarving, embroidered

and ceramic gifts, vestments).

All these goods are made with love and prayer and

bring blessing to home. You will support many

people in need by purchasing items of devotions for

yourselves and your beloved ones

With deep gratitude and love in Christ,

Sisters of St. Elisabeth

Offering souvenirs and church supplies made in their Convent. All proceeds will go to support facilities for children and adults with special needs as well as a rehabilitation center for drug and alcohol addicts run by St. Elisabeth Convent

SLEEP OUT

Sleep Out to support Covenant House

Mother Lisa+ will be joining Jim O’Connor this

year in participating in the Third Annual Covenant

House (Re)Insurance Industry Sleep

Out on Friday September 15th at their main

Covenant House NYC facility on 41st Street.

Last year Jim’s team with teams from Cigna and

Guardian raised over $27,000 and along with other

insurance industry teams raised over $500,000 in

one night!

Each participant is asked to raise $2000.00. Mother

Lisa+ and Jim have set up their own personal

fundraising pages. Please see them for information

on how you can donate and support the cause.

Thanks!

Backpacks for a Smooth

Start to School

Now is a great time to think about the children in

Monmouth County who will need supplies when

they go back to school in September.

Once again this year, we will help children here in

Monmouth County begin the school year with

needed materials and supplies by participating in

our backpack program. There are children who

come to school without the needed supplies such as

pencils and notebooks, delaying or impeding their

fresh start to the new school year. We hope to make

a difference for some of these children. Please

consider providing a child with some needed

supplies such as:

Sturdy backpack, pencils, pens, crayons,

markers, colored pencils, highlighters, zippered

pencil case, spiral notebooks (no binders),

homework notebooks, child scissors, glue sticks,

marble notebooks, erasers, and other young

child specific supplies. The target grade levels are 1

st to 5

th grades.

Please bring the backpacks or supplies to church

any day before Sunday, September 17th, when

they will be blessed and delivered to the school

guidance counselor during that first week of school.

Please help us help some children again this year.

Your generosity is appreciated.

Elaine Feyereisen

*We have had a number of backpacks donated.

If you see an empty one in the Narthex, take one

home, fill it with supplies and return it!

Holiday Bazaar

2017 August is here and time is going by so fast! The

Dog Days of Summer will soon be over and many

people will be preparing for Fall Events. We are

on our way with the Christmas Bazaar. Sounds

funny as you think it is so far away.

Many returning as well as new volunteers attended

our first meeting for this year’s Christmas Bazaar.

Having the Bazaar back to the first full weekend in

December with the Lantern Tour is exciting but

comes with a few necessary changes. The Bazaar

will be held two days: Friday, December 1st from 5

to 9 pm and Saturday the 2nd from 9 am to 3 pm.

All the treasured events such as the Gift Baskets,

Bake Shop, Poinsettias, Wreaths, Knitting Pearls,

Calendar Games, Moravian Pies, Quiche, 50/50,

Trinkets & Treasures, Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe,

Books and concessions, will be back better than

ever!

We have two Chairs that after many years have

decided to step down. They will continue to help in

a different capacity. We have three* positions

available: *Gift Baskets and *Friday and *Saturday

Kitchen. Colleen and Mark Roth volunteered at the

meeting for Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe and we are

thrilled to have them join our Christmas Bazaar

Team! Stacy Reagan also volunteered to help in the

kitchen (while her daughter, Cassie, is an Angel in

the Church Lantern Tour).

Do you love to cook? Can you help or Chair the

Kitchen either Friday or Saturday (or both)? If

so, we need you!

Do you like to solicit community business for

Gift Baskets? Come join our Team, we more

than need you!

Can you make a basket or donate items for use

in a basket? Please think about it, we need your

talent!

Do you like to knit or crochet? Knitting Pearls

could use your help!

Are you a crafter? We are adding a craft table

to the Bazaar. Every Monday in August from

9am to 2:30pm, crafts will be done in the Parish

House. Perhaps you are interested in an evening

craft program. Let us know. Or pick up a craft

after service and take it home to do.

Volunteers are needed for our Ad Journal Patron

Table, one for each of the 8 and 10 o’clock services.

Come join us at our next meeting on August 27

following the 9 o’clock service!

Want to learn more or have questions? Please

text me (can’t hear on the phone) at 732-861-0249

or email jmenut@msn.com or ask to speak with

someone from the Bazaar Team, we all will be

happy to talk with you.

Have a wonder August, enjoy and stay well,

Judi Buncher.

CHRIST CHURCH CELEBRATES INDEPENDENCE DAY

On July 4

th, the parish joined the Monmouth County

Historical Association and many Shrewsbury

residents in commemorating the nation’s founding.

The day began with a reading of the Declaration of

Independence at the Allen house where Mother Lisa

provided an invocation. Subsequently attendees

were invited to cross the street to the Church to

view the Vinegar Bible and to be entertained by

performances by members of the Dead Actors’

Guild. Bob Kelly described the various special

features of the Vinegar Bible to about 70 visitors.

Jamie Green portrayed William Leeds and Robert

Maber did the same for Louis Casimir DeCoppet.

Stuart and Judi Buncher also participated in

costume.

“Did You Know …?”

Stories of Christ Church History

by: Robert M. Kelly, Jr.

Parish Historian

“Did You Know … ?”

That the Vinegar Bible is a focus of our historical

activities this year? This is entirely appropriate with

it being the 300th

anniversary of its printing in

Oxford, England by John Baskett. The highlight of

this celebration is the combined musical and

historical birthday party on September 30th

noted

elsewhere in this issue of the Crown. But there is

much more!

In last month’s Crown we delineated the process of

removing the Bible from its display case. As a

result, we have been able to explore this treasure

which has not been viewed in about 80 years. With

this opportunity, we have been both researching and

using the Bible. Continued on next page

The Vinegar Bible’s use has been as the source of reading the Gospel appointed for the day at each Sunday

service. The Vinegar Bible is the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible’s translation into English from the

numerous original languages that the Bible was written in. This version is much different from the Revised

Standard Version (RSV) in use now. The principal difference is that the RSV has more modern usages such as

you vs. thou. There are also some word differences with the use of a letter representing an “s” that appears as

what we would call an “f”. Here is an example

In verse 3 of the First Chapter, you will see the word that appears as “faid” but is actually “said”. There are

many other examples that can be seen on this page. The impact on reading the Gospel in this less familiar

translation is the importance of reading the text beforehand so as not to be surprised by these unusual

formulations. Note also the two side notes on this same page. These are alternative translations provided by the

KJV translators when there was some disagreement on the preferred translation and they have provided this

“minority” view. Note also the single word on the lower right of the page, “down”. This appears to be an error

but is actually the first word of the following page. This allows the lector to turn the page smoothly as well as to

be certain that only one page is turned.

Continued research into the Vinegar Bible has revealed some new information. Most recently it was thought

that there are 17 Vinegar Bibles in the United States. Three more have been located. These are at the Library of

Virginia, Southern Methodist University, and Bob Jones University. In each case the history of ownership is

spotty and the original purchaser is unknown.

3. Our current expenses are running $2478.00 less than budgeted.
