A MESSAGE FROM The Rev. Tina Rathbone
The photo above is of our own Sarah Sieber preaching at our 10:00 o’clock service this past Sunday. She was the first of our lay preachers – but, God willing, she will
not be the last. Sarah broke open scripture for us in a way that only she could have, bringing together a profound story from her own life with the heart of the gospel in ways so deeply unique to her that it became universal. What a gift it was to hear the depth of silence in the room deepen as she spoke, and what a gift it was also to see
her afterwards, flushed with the Holy Spirit who had been so present through it all.

Gino is next on our list of lay preachers - and after Gino, someone else. We don’t know yet exactly who, but we do know one thing for sure: everyone has something to share with the rest of us about the truth of God in our midst. As a wise theologian once said: “It takes the whole world to know the whole Gospel” and I believe this to my core.

Thank God for community through which the rich and varied gifts of us all are both recognized and upheld. What would we do without each other’s strengths -- and needs -- to guide us on?
GIDEON'S GARDEN
This coming week there are more times to come lend a hand, see below!
So far retrofitting the existing greenhouse with fans, heat and propagation benches has been challenging but will be functional for May’s explosion of seedlings.

‘Potting up’ or ‘transplanting’ is moving a plant from one container to another, usually to a larger container. This is the time of year when 4 trays turns into 12 trays in a few hours. And in less than a week Sue Hayden will have turned over Greenhouse 3, which means every plant in there has been removed and a new one has taken its place. Each one either sold, planted or shuffled off to the unheated house.
Tuesday 4/26 4pm - 6pm
Wednesday 4/27 1pm - 4pm
Friday 4/29 9am-12pm
And the perennials from our group sowing gatherings have all germinated and look beautiful! They will be ready to pot in the next 2 weeks.

The People's Pantry Presents:

A NEW FACE AT THE PANTRY
We’re thankful for our longstanding relationship with the Episcopal community in Great Barrington.
As St. James Church, they hosted the People’s Pantry when it first opened in 1990. Gideon’s Garden, their youth mission project, grows food for us each summer. They are now Grace Episcopal Church and their priest, Rev. Cristina Rathbone, greets our shoppers each Monday afternoon with coffee, cookies, and conversation.

-John Cheek

If anyone wants to volunteer at the People’s Pantry, there are shifts on Mondays from 3:30PM to 5:30PM, Thursdays from 8:30AM to 10:30AM and Thursdays 10:30AM to 12:30PM. Here’s the link:

UKRAINE CRISIS FUND: Urgent aid for 4 million — Give now
CARE’s immediate crisis response aims to reach 4 million with your help.
Give now to rush urgently needed water, food, hygiene kits, and ongoing support for Ukrainian families.
The following note is from Ludmyla (Myla), who Andrea Saville White met through a knitting, weaving website community.

I live in NJ with my husband and our two daughters, but I was born in Ukraine - Zhytomyr, a small town near Kyiv, and lived for 21 years in Kharkiv, Ukraine. All my grandparents, great grandparents, uncles, and aunts are buried there. My first school, first love, first steps, first friends, best friends, college and smiles and laughter, and peace - all left in the past.

What can I say without tears - I stand against this horrible war; I stand with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. So, so many of my friends and their families and some of my relatives are still left in Ukraine all over the country.

We try and help every single day with whatever we can - whether it’s meds, trying to get people out from hot spots - like from under the shelling in Kharkiv and Dnipro - volunteer with local organizations, send help to so many of my friends who are refugees in Poland, Romania, Hungary, Germany, and Latvia, and help our amazing volunteers who are right there on the ground whether it’s on the border or in Ukraine. 

Days begin with checking if all the people I know are alive and end with checking on the news and what I could help with following. 

I can’t be on the front lines and fight for my homeland physically, but I can knit and help with information.

NO WAR. Spread the word. Don’t stay silent. 

May there be PEACE in the world.

Book Reading & Discussion with the
Rt. Rev. Mark Beckwith
April 20, 7pm
Online

On March 22nd, Church Publishing released Seeing the Unseen: Beyond Prejudices, Paradigms, and Party Lines by Mark M. Beckwith. The Rt. Rev. Mark M. Beckwith is bishop (retired) of Newark and has served as Missioner for Spirituality and Leadership in our diocese since 2019.

We are pleased to announce a virtual meeting with the author who will read and discuss the thesis at the heart of this work.

Mark's ongoing involvement with Braver Angels and Bishops United Against Gun Violence has shaped a vision of human relationship that rejects the "us" and "them" dialectic. He suggests that thinking is not sufficient to get us out of the issue-based log jam. "This book is an invitation to see what we don’t see. To see beyond our prejudices, paradigms, and hidebound thinking, all of which can shroud us from, if not blind us to, injustice."

Third Sunday
of Easter
John 21:1-19

Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and he showed himself in this way. Gathered there together were Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will go with you." They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

Just after daybreak, Jesus stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, "Children, you have no fish, have you?" They answered him, "No." He said to them, "Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in because there were so many fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on some clothes, for he was naked, and jumped into the sea. But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, only
about a hundred yards off.

When they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish that you have just caught." So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three of them; and though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?" because they knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs." A second time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Tend my sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. Very truly, I tell you, when you were younger, you used to fasten your own belt and to go wherever you wished. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten a belt around you and take you where you do not wish to go." (He said this to indicate the kind of death by which he would glorify God.) After this he said to him, "Follow me."

The Vestry met on Sunday, April 24.
At this meeting we took a careful look at the ways we as a community care for one another. Many of you are aware of and participate in the ongoing prayer practice for one another as suggested by the prayer cards we send out approximately once a year. We are preparing new lists to include new members and those will be going out next month. Now that we are hopefully past the most vicious part of Covid, we are restarting and enlarging the practice of sending our Lay Eucharistic Visitors to those who are unable to get to church. If you are interested in learning more about this speak to Tina. We also are starting a new level of caring called Helping Hands. As we envision this we will be able to respond to anyone who has an illness, which keeps him/her at home for an extended time or is recovering from surgery, say, and needs extra help to get through that period of time. Meals, shopping assistance and providing rides would all be part of this new offering. More information will be forthcoming about Helping Hands. 

Of course we conducted the usual business and are all deeply grateful for the extensive work done by both Tina and Sue Gore, Treasurer, on the parochial report. Sue also participated in the annual audit and presented the results which show what an extraordinary job she does as our treasurer. Thank you Sue!

THANK YOU!
Kathy

Praying for each other and for the needs of the world is a vital mission of Grace Church. To add a prayer request to this list, please contact the Church Office

DR. RICHARD EDELSTEIN, 90, passed away on March 24, 2022 in Lenox, Massachusetts. He was born on May 18, 1931 in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Samuel and Ida (Stelling) Edelstein. He married Patricia (Michaud) Edelstein in October 1982, in Cold Spring, New York.

Richard was Jewish but attended services at Grace with his Episcopalian wife Pat. Both he and Pat were regulars at our bible study and Richard often brought a Jewish perspective to our readings. They also would attend at Hevrah.

A graveside service will be held Monday, May 9, 2022 at Noon at Corashire Cemetery on Blue Hill Road in Monterey, where Richard will be laid to rest next to his beloved Patricia, followed by a celebration of his life at Koi on State Road in Great Barrington.

Our New Prayer Basket

We welcome you to use our new prayer basket.
On Sundays you will find a basket near the welcome table, with slips of paper available for you to write down prayer requests. You can ask for prayers for those who are ill, or in need of healing or encouragement of any kind, prayers for intentions, journeys, or projects, the birth or adoption of children, and prayers of thanksgiving for anything that needs celebrating. In other words, please ask for any prayers that are important to you and those you love. You may identify yourself and those for whom prayers are needed, but names are not necessary or required. These requests will be prayed for by our healing ministers both during the service and during the week for a period of one month. Keep an eye out for the basket!!

WHAT ARE YOU
GRATEFUL FOR?
In this time of fear and anxiety, it can be easy to miss the daily blessings that are right in front of us. Being grateful is not just for good times. Being grateful is even more important when fear sets a place at your table and heartbreak seems to be in your every breath. Because by being grateful we become aware of all the ways God is working in us. Being grateful is a part of our healing and our deliverance. Being grateful is where our best selves reside.
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
 
Thank you for giving generously to support the ministry of Grace.  You may continue to mail your contributions to Grace Church, P.O. Box 114, Great Barrington, MA 01230. As we begin to gather in person, you may bring your contribution to our services on Sunday, once again.
