HE IS RISEN!

Easter Sunday

Gospel: Luke 24:13-49

Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. And he said to them, “What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?” They stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?”

Join us on Easter Sunday.

Arrive early to avoid crowds.

Rev. Stephen Carpenter will be presiding.

We gather for worship at 10 A.M., Sundays in the sanctuary of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, 1504 Myrtle St. in Calistoga. Please join us.

Bishop Megan’s Invitation to Holy Week

Collect for Easter Sunday

April 9, 2023

Loving Father,

We believe in one God, our Father.

Whose power of compassion, forgiveness, and love

resides within us. Let us endeavor to awaken and dispense these inherent virtues

without hesitance but with fervor for the sake of others and all of Thy creation.

Grant that this practice will serve to cascade the radiance of Thy will,

restoring the kindred spirit of humanity throughout this world.

We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord,

Who lives and reigns with Thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and ever after.

Amen.

Written by York & Elizabeth Wong

Christopher S. Peacock Jr.

Memorial services for Christopher S. Peacock Jr., who passed away on March 14, 2023 in St. Helena, were held Friday, March 31 at Grace Episcopal Church in St. Helena. Burial and a reception followed. He was 90.

Born on May 13, 1932 in Monmouth, Ill, Chris was the son of Mary Katherine Safford Kuny and Christopher Sheller Peacock Sr. He is survived by his wife, Mary Elizabeth Peacock; his three children, Christopher, Rebecca and Benjamin; and grandchildren, Joshua, Atticus and Samantha.

Chris lived a full life, pursuing his passions and leaving a lasting legacy of accomplishment. He graduated from Lake Forest Academy in 1950, and later from Williams College in 1954. After serving as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War, he worked as an executive at RCA Whirlpool Appliance, attended Stanford Law School and later became a commercial real estate broker for Coldwell Banker in San Francisco. In the mid-1970s, he started his own commercial real estate company and bought and sold properties in several states across America.

Chris had a love for duck hunting, horseback riding, fly fishing, mountain climbing, playing tennis and Southwestern art. He was an avid reader, passionate about traditional art, classical music, European culture and conservative politics. He was articulate and well-spoken, quick to offer his opinions and always willing to engage with others.

In 1993, Chris acquired a small vineyard in Napa Valley and started to sell cabernet under the Peacock Family Vineyard label. Today, the vineyard also sells pinot noir and sauvignon blanc. His legacy will live on through the many people who have enjoyed his wine and will continue to do so for years to come.

Chris’s family and friends remember him as a kind and generous soul who always made time for those he loved. His wit and humor will be missed by all who knew him, and his impact on the world will be remembered by all those whose lived he touched.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in memory of Chris Peacock, to Grace Episcopal Church in St. Helena; St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Calistoga or the charity of their choosing.
