FROM THE CO-RECTORS
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church
Through the Cross You Have a “Way Home”
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is all about this experience of trying to get home. It is all about settling down in a place where we can rest easy and feel secure. This usually means a movement of the spirit, rather than a change in geography. It’s about a change in attitude -- a change in the way we look at and experience the world around us. Christianity is about settling in and making God our home.
The Scripture says Jesus’ heart was troubled. (John 12:27) Jesus was sad. Usually, people say that in this Scripture -Jesus was sad because he realized he would have to die. But you know I think he was sad -- I think his heart was troubled -- because he wanted the people to embrace his hope -- his vision of loving God, and loving other people, and reaching out to a world in pain. But the people did not get the message and so Jesus was lifted up from the earth. He was crucified to draw all people to himself. The people refused to come home to God. They could not follow the directions, and they refused to follow the lead of Jesus. So God in Christ pulled them in through the death and resurrection of Jesus. God pulls us -- all of us -- in through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
An old preacher I once knew said that Jesus took three approaches to bringing people home to God. The first approach Jesus makes in the Gospel books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John is to try to build his disciples up; he says to them, “You are children of God.” Jesus says -- “Listen - you are loved by God -- and you can lead yourselves out of the hopeless mess you find yourselves in.” The disciples are so hard-headed that they just don’t get it. When Jesus called them to love and forgive each other -- they just didn’t do too well. “The Kingdom of Heaven is here,” Jesus was always saying, but those disciples (and many of us who follow Jesus) just can’t seem to find the blessing.
This third option goes beyond educated Christianity or blind following -- neither of which we do well. The third option is to reach for the life-line which Jesus has offered to us through the cross of Calvary. This option is freely given -- all we have to do is reach out to God in a way that says, “God I need you. I cannot find my way home without you.” The gift of God’s sacrificial love has already done the rest. God will pull us in to a full life of hope, and love of God, and love of neighbor. And by God’s grace we will even be able to reach out to others. There is incredible joy in all of this, even if you stand in the dark shadow of a cross. The joy comes from knowing that you are on your way home.
The second approach Jesus made was like this. Jesus said, “Well if you can’t or won’t turn away from the emptiness and pointlessness in your lives -- if you can’t do it yourselves then just follow me -- and then you will find fullness in your lives.” Jesus summed up this “way home” in these words, “Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also.” (John 12:26) But still the people did not get it. They preferred to live in the Hell of fear and worry than in the Heaven of hope and peace, which Jesus proclaimed.
Christ makes all the difference for us. Palm Sunday, with the story of the Crucifixion is coming on April 9. Holy Week will follow. These are times for ALL of us to turn back to God again and accept that Jesus has saved us by his death and resurrection. Because of Jesus – we can ALL find our way home to God. And there is no better place to be, than at home with someone who loves you. May you all know this joy!
All of us sometimes feel lonely and unconnected with other people and with God. It’s as if we are adrift on the sea of life and we just can’t find our way home. We feel unsettled while deep within us we want to feel at peace. In a figurative sense we want to come home to a place where we can rest easy and feel secure.
The third approach of Jesus to the lost people was terribly hard. It was hard, because it meant that all the good options were gone. Jesus could not educate the people to live a good life -- that was option 1. And he could not inspire the people to follow him to a good life -- that was option 2. The only option left was for Jesus to die for the people. 2
Faithfully,
Fr. Steve

Carey O’Neil Is Planning to Go on a Mission Trip to Ireland,
May 30 - June 9, sponsored by The Springs Church in Jacksonville. Carey writes, “The mission is for Teen Challenge, helping teenagers cope with drug and alcohol abuse issues; something I know about from personal experience and would like to share with them how my faith helped me. There is also construction work to be done and I know that with my experience I would be able to help. I would appreciate any and all financial assistance and prayers.” Carey needs to raise $1,650. Contributions may be sent to the church with “Carey O’Neil mission trip” in the memo line.
May 13/14, 2017: Spring Ingathering for UNITED THANK OFFERING “Your Blessings Become Blessings for Others”
United Thank Offering (UTO) is a ministry of The Episcopal Church for the mission of the whole church. Through UTO, men, women, and children nurture the habit of giving daily thanks to God. You are never too young or too old to count your blessings and start a daily spiritual practice. These prayers of thanksgiving start when we recognize and name our many daily blessings. Those who participate in UTO discover that thankfulness leads to generosity. UTO is entrusted to promote thank offerings, to receive the offerings, and to distribute the UTO monies to support mission and ministry throughout The Episcopal Church and in Provinces of the Anglican Communion in the developing world. To learn more, see the 2016 Grants List on display in the Narthex, or log onto http://www.episcopalchurch.org/page/ united-thank-offering.
What Am I Thankful For? Give THANKS for the good things that happen every day – for the little things like a good parking spot on a busy day, sunshine for your family picnic, or a birthday card from a friend. Give THANKS for the big things like recovery from serious illness, a new job, or forgiveness and reconciliation after a long dispute. It’s suggested that every time you think of something you’re thankful for, you say a thankful prayer and drop pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, or dollars in your BLUE BOX. These Blue Boxes are available in the Narthex to help you gather your contributions, but it’s suggested that you turn those coins into paper money or a check and place the donation in a UTO envelope (or a plain envelope, clearly marked “for UTO”) for the actual ingathering. This way, you can use your Blue Box for many years – and many thankful prayers. Checks may be made payable to Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, with a notation that the check is for “UTO” or “United Thank Offering.” If you have any questions, feel free to call Judy Henderson at 321-327-3175. Through daily prayer and tangible offerings, LIVES ARE CHANGED IN VERY REAL WAYS.

Health Ministry News: April 2017 has a special message to all of us. This is the 31st annual Alcohol Awareness Month. Founded and sponsored by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD), alcohol awareness month was established in 1987 to help reduce the stigma so often associated with alcoholism. This is a chronic progressive disease, genetically predisposed and fatal if untreated. However people can and do recover. It is estimated that as many as 20 million people are living lives in recovery. This year’s theme, Connecting the Dots: Opportunities for Recovery, is designed to draw attention to the many opportunities individuals, families and communities have to help prevent teen alcohol use. An integral part of NCADD awareness month is Alcohol–Free Weekend. The first weekend of April (March 31 - April 2) is to raise public awareness about the use of alcohol and how it may affect our loved ones and the communities in which we live. During this weekend, NCADD is inviting Americans to engage in three alcohol free days (72 hours of no beer, wine, malt liquor, distilled spirits or liquor). Those individuals or families who experience difficulty or discomfort with this experiment are urged to contract our priests, the nurse (Carolyn) or our counseling center for assistance with resources and to look deeper into intervention, treatment and recovery. HELP AND/OR REFERRALS CAN BE PROVIDED CONFIDENTIALLY. Check out the health information on the table in the Narthex and the restrooms.
BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS: April 1 & 2
Have your Blood Pressure screened in the Narthex at the west door behind a privacy screen. Everyone is welcome, both visitors and parishioners! The schedule is: Saturday, 4:30-6:30pm; Sunday, 8:15am-12:45pm.

The best way for our clergy to know if you or a loved one are in the hospital is to call the office and let us know. Also, please note that Wuestoff Hospitals have no system in place to let us know about our parishioners in their care, so it is essential for you to call us directly to let us know if you are there.
