Symphony Concerts at St. John's
We're a smidge enthusiastic about music around here: in
addition to supporting our three choirs, we cherish the chance
to bring musical performances to our church. In February, we
hosted Schola Cantorum, our diocese's nationally-recognized
choral chamber group, who performed a traditional Anglican
Evensong (an evening prayer liturgy rendered chorally). In
May, we presented the Army Ground Forces Band's
concluding concert in their Chamber Concert Series.
This program-year (Sep-May), we are excited to work withthe Fayetteville Symphony to bring parishioners and guests
five orchestral performances! Our city's youth take the stage at
7 p m Friday August 2 for the culminating performance of the
I am pleased to announce that the Rev.
Jim Brisson will return to St. John’s in a
limited, volunteer capacity as Priest
Liaison beginning in September. Many of
our members will remember that
Chaplain Brisson began worshipping at
St. John’s in 2006 when he was an
ordained minister in the Evangelical Free
Church. Jim was sponsored by our vestry
for ordination in the Episcopal Church. It
has been my privilege to work with Jim
on several endeavors since my return toSt. John’s and it is a joy to welcome him
back to our worshipping community.

August 2013
If you have never been to the Parish Beach Weekend at Trinity
Center, you are missing out on a fabulous weekend of fun,
relaxation and spirituality that is unsurpassed! It was a
weekend full of surprises!The first surprise was upon arrival. When I asked Carmen
Guzman for a copy of the agenda, she said the only agenda was
breakfast at 8, lunch at 12 and dinner at 6! That’s my kind of
agenda, I’m telling you. There were 40 of us, all nestled into

Rector's Corner
Bishop Peter Lee has given special permission for parishes in the Diocese
of East Carolina to commemorate the baptisms of Manteo and Virginia
Dare on Sunday, August 18. Propers for the day, including the opening
collect and readings from scripture will be taken from Holy Women, Holy
Men. Formerly known as Lesser Feasts and Fasts, Holy Women, Holy Men
includes the propers for week-day liturgies commemorating people and
invents including: The Nativity of John the Baptist, Joan of Arc and MartinLuther King. Each Wednesday at the 5:15 service we use a selection from
Holy Women, Holy Men. As we remember the examples set by our spiritual
forbearers we find the strength and direction that guide our spiritual
journeys.
The rubrics of the Book of Common Prayer require that all parishes use
the readings assigned in the Sunday Lectionary for our worship on
Sunday morning. The only standard exceptions are that All Saints’ Day
and the propers assigned for the feast day of the patron saint of the parish
may each be observed on the Sunday following the date they appear on
the calendar. The bishop may also grant permission to use alternate
readings on special occasions.
The last General Convention of the Episcopal Church voted to include
the commemoration of Manteo and Virginia Dare in Holy Women, Holy
Men on a trial basis. Their baptisms were the first recorded baptisms by
the Church of England in the New World. History records that the baptisms occurred on Roanoke Island in the Colony of Virginia. Today,
Roanoke Island rests in the Diocese of East Carolina in the state of North
Carolina One could argue that Manteo and Virginia Dare are appropriate

rooms in pods deep within the maritime forest that
is Trinity Center. We could gather (or not) in the
common room allotted to us by the staff to socialize,
eat, drink and work puzzles to our hearts’ content.
This quickly became the nerve center of our group.
There were at least 15 liters of wine and snacks that
would have done a reception in the Kyle House
proud! As we drifted away that night to the sounds
of the maritime forest, several puzzle fanatics
remained at their task until morning, proudlyannouncing that they had finished at about 5 a.m.
(and promptly began another one!)
The next surprise came when Saturday morning
dawned crystal clear, a day just made for the beach!
We wandered through the tunnel, keeping a sharp
eye out for the snakes that have been known to
show up there, toward a Carolina blue sky and
emerald green ocean. Children and adults got into
the water in varying degrees of speed, some diving
right in and others inching their way out past the
few breakers. Saturday night, after dinner, we
headed to the campfire site to roast marshmallows
and make s’mores. Fred played the guitar, and we
sang songs dredged up from the 60s and camp days
long past.Surprisingly, meals became a special time as it
gave me the opportunity to share the fellowship of
parishioners who I have seen in church for years
