Welcome to the 3rd Sunday of Easter.
The lectionary once again opens with a reading from the Book of Acts, where Peter pleads with his fellow Jews who had acted in ignorance to repent; we also continue reading from the first 'letter' of John as our epistle; and, in the Gospel of Luke we get an earlier version of the story that we read from John's gospel last week, and a ringing endorsement for broiled fish.
Patrick Herlihy will be the lector assigned to Acts; Cheryl Thompson will read from the first letter of John and Deb Watson will serve as our prayer leader.
Following the service, Dr. David Brakke will lecture on the search for the historical Jesus. (Not to be missed...)

Evensong- Beginning on April 25, 2021, on the last Sunday of each month at 6pm, a virtual Evensong service will be offered.
The inspiration for the theme of this month's Evensong is a message regarding love, as found in the third chapter of 1John. A creative liturgy of readings, prayers and music, sacred and secular together will provide opportunity for thoughtful contemplation and quiet reflection.
Please join us on Sunday evening, April 25, 2021 at 6pm.

Pandemic Regathering News
On Tuesday, April 13th, the Vestry approved a Regathering Plan intended to ease us back into a more comfortable Parish life, while continuing to keep everyone safe. Of course, we will comply with Diocesan guidance and law at all times. But, we also intend to create circumstances that leave no one behind. To accomplish this we aim to make nearly all aspects of Parish life “hybrid” – that is, simultaneously accessible online and in person – and to do it in a way that all participants can actually interact with each other. For example, in a church service, one reader might be in the Church and the other reading via Zoom – with all able to see and hear each other…and announcements could come from anywhere!
At first, little will change will occur other than making it possible for a certain number of people who wish to do being together on campus (masks and distancing, etc., applicable) while others take part on Zoom. The number of people who will be able to attend in person will be determined using a Diocesan formula and announced in the week’s newsletter. It will be “first come, first served” and once the maximum number has been reached no one else can be admitted (although they will, of course, be able to attend on Zoom). Masks will always be welcome regardless of whether they are required. Ushers, or the leader of a meeting, will have both the responsibility and the authority to be sure we all follow the requirements to keep each other safe. Outside events may be considered where they could provide greater flexibility as described in the Plan.
Implementation will be gradual and always susceptible to “hitting the pause button”. if circumstances don’t worsen we may start hybrid worship in May, and work up to parishioner use of the Parish Hall, and then to additional use by Friends of All Saints, by the end of June.
The details are in the Vestry’s Plan which you can read here >>> PLAN.
We’ll be mailing out copies to the people who may not be comfortable with reading it on line. There will be frequent updates to Regathering news in Parish emails and newsletters. And, of course, if you have questions after reviewing the Plan, please give either of us a call. Most importantly, we need to continue to be sensitive to each other, keep each other safe, and not inadvertently create situations where someone may feel pressured to participate in a certain way.
With great appreciation for everyone’s past and future efforts to care for each other and our neighbors,
Father Ken Phelps, Rector Kip At Lee, Senior Warden

News from Maryland Episcopal Public Policy Network (MEPPN)
The Rev. Ken Phelps, MEPPN team member and rector of All Saints’, Sunderland said, “This was a step in the right direction but is not quite the full measure that we needed.” A particular concern of the MEPPN team regards civilian oversight versus participation. Phelps wrote in supporting Delegate Acevero's amendment to Speaker Jones' bill which would have reinstated mandates for local jurisdictions to create civilian review boards with the power to investigate and discipline independent of police and judicial presence. “As I read the bill that passed, civilians will have a role on the accountability, charging and trial boards that will be established, but do not have oversight authority and will still be outnumbered by police and judiciary members.” Phelps also noted that whistleblower protections were also removed from the original bill, which could make oversight more difficult. He remarked that is was still, “a good start.”

A Brief History of the Mandolin in America
Since the Spanish Student Invasion of 1880
Did you know an F5 is not only a tornado category but arguably the greatest model of Gibson mandolin ever produced? It originally sold for $250 back in 1922. Today, if you can find one, a Gibson Lloyd Loar signed F5 model sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is considered the Stradivarius of mandolins.
Did you know the first American concerto for mandolin was written in 1900 by African American Seth Weeks, known as the greatest virtuoso mandolin player of his time?
Also, in 1900, mandolin sales were second only to music boxes as the highest grossing small goods musical instrument. Mandolin Orchestras began their prominence at this time.
If you are interested in learning more about the history of the mandolin since the Spanish Student invasion of 1880, along with some musical examples, join us for All Saints All Skills Extravaganza, presented by fellow parishioner Joe Klausner on Saturday, April 17, at 10 AM.
