And so, remembering all that was done for us:
the cross, the tomb, the resurrection
and ascension
These two brief lines present the story of the exaltation, the raising up, of Jesus. Jesus
was raised up on the cross, raised from death and the tomb in the resurrection, and
raised from earth to the heavenly realm at the ascension. We made the journey with
Jesus to the cross and tomb on Good Friday. On Easter we celebrated the message of
the angels that Jesus had been raised from the dead to new life. Because we read
Lukes account of Easter morning, we dont meet the risen Lord until the second
Sunday of Easter. Actually, it takes seven Sundays to tell the story of the ways the disciples experienced Jesus
risen to new life, concluding with his ascension.
We take the time to tell these stories about Jesus crucified, risen and ascended, because they are not just about
him. The first line quoted above reminds us that all this was done for us! And not just for us alone, but for all
humanity. As another prayer reminds us, Jesus stretched out his arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that
he might draw all people into his saving embrace. What was done for us through Jesus cross, tomb,
resurrection and ascension is summed up in these lines:
Dying, you destroyed our death.
Rising, you restored our life.
And we are moved to conclude:
Christ Jesus, come in glory!
These words tell the Easter story with great economy and power. They come from a supplement to the Book of
Common Prayer called Enriching Our Worship I. As the title suggests, these texts were developed and
approved as an enriching resource for worship in Episcopal congregations. We will be using this text at the 10
a.m. service through Eastertide to Pentecost the 50
th
day of Easter. I hope you will find new insight and an
enriched perspective on the Easter story as we pray these words together. I find in them renewed hope to live in
the Risen Life now and forever.
As always, I will be interested in your thoughts.
Easter blessings,
Harrison West+
Your Friendly Neighborhood Rector

Preserving the Past for Our Future Generations
Rectory Forum & Spring Suppers to Discuss
The Church In History
Our 269 Annual Meeting continued from March GT
Treasurers Report: Ed Seibert reported no substantial changes from last year.
We ran a small deficit in 2012. In the proposed budget, a major prioritiy will be to
pay down loans: $58,000 to the unrestricted endowment, which was taken out in
2008; and $60,000 to the Diocese, which we are paying down on a monthly basis.
We have repaid the GPA loan in full, with funds from the Capital Campaign.
Campaign funds also paid for the conversion of our heating system from oil to gas,
allowing for a 40% annual savings on our heating expenses.
New Business: Last year we focused our attention on our outstanding financial
debts and major upcoming expenses. We agreed a capital campaign was needed.
Our campaign was successfully completed in 2012 - generating (to date) over
$338,000 in pledge commitments.
So now we, as a parish community, turned our attention to another important issue
- Outreach: Serving our church community, the Guilford community and the needs of those beyond our
town and state boundries. In a Fast Forum Harrison posed two questions: (1) What do people say when they
think of Christ Church? and (2) What would you want them to say about our church? Answers for No. 1 ranged
from our Chili Supper, silent auction, Concertato, Vacation Bible School, Sunday School, cookie sales, fuel
fund, Choristers, and the red doors on the Green.
The answers to the second question were also diverse and reflected our parish identity through outreach.
Answered ranged from: were to grow childrens music program, sustainability/recycling coordinated by middle
and high school kids, Haiti trip/mission, more hospitality-type suppers, more newspaper publicity about what
we are doing, New Haven church partnership, have Choristers visit assisted living facilities, serve as emergency
storm shelter, exercise classes for new moms, and serve a broader population within our town (more outreach).
A committee for Outreach Activities is being created. They will help determine how/what new outreach
activities we will pursue. If you would like to become involved please call the office or contact Harrison. Your
participation is always welcomed.
Church history was a popular topic for the Forums Q&A conversations in the fall. I do not make any pretense
about being an authority on church history, but I did study with some of them. One, John Booty, was for some
years the official historian of The Episcopal Church. Johns book for one of the Churchs Teaching Series has
proved so popular that it remains in print 33 years after its first publication. (I became his student many years
later!) In The Church in History, John looked at recurring issues in the life of the Church, and investigated
how they have been addressed in various eras. These issues include the Churchs essential nature, how the
Church is renewed, the Churchs relationship with culture and country, and the Churchs call to mission.
The Church in History will be our subject and resource for the Rectory Forum and Spring Salad Supper
Seminars. Join the conversation during Eastertide on Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. in the Rectory Forums,
and at Tuesdays Spring Salad Seminars beginning April 9 at 6 p.m. A sign-up for books is posted outside
the Guild Room.

Church Kneelers Update
The ECW has finished its project of refurbishing the kneelers at
the altar rail and the Bishops kneeler near the pulpit. Initiated by
Diane Barker, approved by Harrison, and expedited by Hope
Sperry, the altar kneelers were done by Jodys Recovery Room of
Branford and the Bishops kneeler by Diane.
For the altar rail kneelers, the side fabric first had to be carefully
cut away from the needlepoint tops, peeled off from the crumbling,
disintegrated foam rubber, and hand-washed (Hope said the water
turned black, indicating a LOT of kneeling over the years). Then
new color-matching velvet sides and bottoms were made to fit over
new foam rubber padding, with zippers on the undersides so that
the kneelers could be easily cleaned and new padding replaced
when necessary.
In the case of the Bishops kneeler, the cushion had to be
unscrewed from the wooden base and around two dozen tacks
holding the cushion to the underside of a board had to be pried off.
The foam inside had REALLY disintegrated on this one, so that
there were just chunks and powder, making for a very lumpy-
looking outside. After washing the needlepoint, grosgrain ribbon
reinforcement had to be zigzag-stitched along the edges to prevent further unraveling of the white mesh canvas
around the edges. The whole cover then was stretched over a new foam rubber cushion, and stapled to the
board with a heavy-duty stapler. This was then reattached to the base of the wooden kneeler, which is now back
in its place in the chancel.
Many thanks go to the ECW, who paid for this work with several fundraisers, and to those who did the actual
physical work, professional and volunteer. The women who did the original needlepoint (in the 1970s, as far as
we could ascertain) would be proud that their work has been restored to such beauty.
--Diane Barker
Third Year Review - Be Part of the Process!
It is hard to believe, but almost 3 years ago Harrison was called to be our new Rector. Our letter of
agreement calls foran annualreviewof our life togetheras parish and pastor. In the third year it is
customary to seek wider participation. Your input as a parish member is important for this process to
be a success. We have asked Jane Inrig (the Search Committees diocesan consultant) to help lead
us through this critical review of what is going well and what needs attention.
Jane has suggested we gather data during the next month (or so). Often paper surveys are used, but
we are also considering scheduled focus group meetings to assure everyone in the parish can be
included in this important review. Plans for Focus Group Meetings are now in progress. Be on the
look-out for Focus Review Meeting dates, times and topics.
Don't miss out! Be part of the process.

Stewardship for 2013
Dear Friends,
As I write this message for the April 2013 issue of Glad Tidings, I can happily report that we have receive 97
household pledges so far. This number includes ten new pledges, but unfortunately we lost a few, too. About
25% of the total have increased their pledge, which is just wonderful! The total amount pledged for 2013 is
$184,996. We do hope to receive a few more pledges in the next couple of weeks or so. These figures may be
somewhat out of date by the time you read them in April, but as Chair of the Stewardship Drive for 2013, I
wanted you to know where we stand. Many, many thanks to you all who contribute time, talent, and treasure
so that Christ Church can keep shining its beacon into the community.
Blessings,
Kay Claiborn
Our regular monthly meeting was held on March 14, 2013. Our hostesses were Diane Barker and Jean
Courtney. Fr. Harrison West presented a very interesting lecture and pictorial view of his recent trip to the
Holy Land. Thank you to all for this enjoyable afternoon.
The Military Whist, held on Friday, March 15, 2013, was a very successful event. We entertained 40 players,
most of which came from outside our parish. Once again we were able to raise funds to support our charitable
contributions for both inreach and outreach programs. Thank you to all who made contributions to this event.
A special thank you to Cindy Smith, Diane Barker, Evelyn Linskey, Jean Valentine, and Yvonne Scott for their
help!
The Fun-Day Sunday event, postponed from February, will be held on Sunday, April 7, 2013, in the parish

The Christ Church youth raised the roof on Sunday, March 17 at the 4th Annual Haiti
fundraiser event. Watch out Carnegie Hall - we have talent in this church! Thanks to
everyone for supporting this event. At this point, we have close to $970 to send to the

support the cause, we are still accepting all donations. You can make out your check
to Christ Church and put "Haiti fundraiser" in the message.
We are planning a Eucharistic Workshop on Sunday, April 21 from 3:30 - 5:30 pm. This workshop is for
children who are ready to receive communion or for any youth who would like to take a "refresher" course. It
is intended as a family experience, with at least one parent involved. Activities will include discussions,
creating an altar cloth, crafts and an abbreviated family worship. Dinner will be provided for everyone as well.
I will send out registration forms at the beginning of April.

Waking Up on Easter...
My daughter likes to ask questions.
Nine out of ten times, its a question I cant answer.
When will the snow stop? -- How many people will be at church today?
And on and on come the questions of uncertainty.
At our house, we start talking and practicing for anything new about two weeks before we have to do it. That is
the wonderful thing about the Episcopal Church -- there are no surprises. You can walk through the Book of
Common Prayer at the dinner table or on the living room couch. All three of my children know that Easter is a
big deal and they better do their best to make it through the entire service.
Sure enough, Frances had a question:
So Mom, what was it like? When Jesus resurrected? Was it like waking up on a school morning? Did he hit
the snooze button? Or did he just hop out of the tomb ready to go?
I swear she tries to come up with questions I cant answer on purpose.
Once again I dont know the answer to that. Nobody does. All we know is that they peeked in and he wasnt
there. He came back to start over.
Easter is new. All of it is brand new. The bunnies, the chicks, and the blooming flowers are new. The workouts
we have to do to burn the chocolate and the jelly beans off are new. The time we have to spend getting that
horrible plastic grass up from behind the bunk beds is new.
Having a middle school youth program is new. All kids in middle school go through it a different way. Some
are reluctant, and want to hit that snooze button. Some are jumping up and down and pushing on the tombstone
so they can get out and see what happens next. This might change from week to week.
Recently I accompanied seven of our teenagers to St. John the Divine in New York City for the Nightwatch
Pilgrimage. That is a night designed to teach youth from 6th-12th grade how to have a closer relationship with
God. Some students walked the labyrinth. Some held candles in corners alone. Some quietly wrote their
thoughts down on index cards while others sang out loud when they were given the microphone. All were
changed, one way or another. It didnt matter if they were slow and steady or loud and strident. They ended up
where they needed to be.
So we can drag our feet slowly out of the tomb towards the new day, or we can skip happily into the unknown
to see what happens next. Either way, it is coming. The good news is: Hes back, and Hell be back again. If
we went slowly one year, we get another chance next Easter

Thursday
BIBLE
STUDY
Continues!
During Eastertide this year,
the last book of the Bible,
The Revelation to John,
will provide our Epistle
readings. These readings will
also provide the focus for our
Thursday morning Bible
Study for the coming seven
weeks. The Revelation
inspires and provokes a range
of reactions: Its ominous and
mysterious portents have
baffled generations of the
faithful; yet Revelation also
includes passages of soaring
beauty that offer hope and
comfort to the anxious and
fearful. Because some have
committed spiritual abuse
with Revelation -- using it as
a weapon to advance their pet
theories -- many folks feel
Revelation has nothing to
offer them.
For an hour on Thursday
mornings, beginning at 9:30
a.m., we will try to reclaim
Revelation's message for us
and for our own day. Theres
room around the rectorys
large dining room table for
you; coffee and tea will be
waiting!
An evening with Bishop Gene Robinson - First
openly gay bishop in NH at Episcopal Church of St. Paul &
St James on Saturday, April 13, 2013 from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM
The evening will begin with a feature-length documentary on Bishop Robinsons
ministry, Love Free or Die; which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. The
documentary will be followed by hors d'oeuvres. You will then have an opportun-
ity to hear Bishop Robinson personally tell his story followed by a Q & A time.

February 2013 Vestry Highlights

Gene Bishop received a letter from the Zoning Enforcement Officer saying that the gas meters had been
installed without a certificate of appropriateness (which we did not know was required by the Historic
District Code). He has filed for the proper certificate.

Gene is working on bids for the painting of the parish hall, repairing of some of the siding, and carpeting
for the Sunday School area. Committes for determining paint color and type of flooring have been
named, and they will report back with their recommendations.

Stewardship: As of the meeting date, we have received pledges of $174,000 from 96 pledging units.

Annual Parish Meeting Review: New Vestry members and delegates to the Diocesan Convention were
elected at the meeting. A Fast Forum was held, with lists compiled of what people say when they
think about Christ Church and what we WANT people to say about our church. These answers will
be taken into consideration when determining future outreach projects.

We will be having a spring Vestry workshop, possibly in May, to review how we are doing as a church.
Preliminary preparation for this may involve some parish small group forums and surveys.

Capital Campaign: There is presently $342,000 pledged for the Capital Campaign.
March 2013 Vestry Highlights

Treasurer Ed Seibert reported on the status of the Capital Campaign fund: We have paid off the $81,025
balance on the loan from the Guilford Preservation Alliance; there is currently $40,000 in the Capital
Campaign fund. Our 2013 priorities are to pay for the balance of the heating system upgrade and
conversion to natural gas; to repaint the exterior of the Parish Hall; and to replace Sunday School level
carpeting. Ed asked for, and received, permission to use up to $30,000 to re-pay advances from the
endowment and other funds for the heating conversion. We have gift commitments for almost $100,000
in the year ahead.

The Capital Fund has provided the Middle School with 20 foldable, 5-position floor chairs for the kids
to sit on.

Junior Warden Gene Bishop reported on one weekends problems with the two sump pumps under the
church. One had to be replaced. On the other one, a coupling came loose, causing water to spray onto
the boilers electrical controls; a temporary repair returned heat in time for Sunday School and the 10
a.m. service with a final repair following the next day. Gene also reported on the progress on re-
carpeting in the Sunday School and on the painting of the exterior.

Stewardship: The campaign has concluded with $186,000 from 98 pledging units.

A proposal for a preschool Kindermusik program to be held in the parish hall was discussed. If
approved, it would start in May. The expected donation for once-a-week use of the space was discussed.

Preliminary plans for a required third-year parish review with our rector are being formed. Jane Inrig,
who was the consultant during our search process, is available to help us out. The Vestry scheduled a
workshop for May 18, at St. Johns, North Guilford.
Ofce HELP Needed: Monday, April 29th - Friday, May 3rd
Pat Wakeeld will be out of the ofce the week of April 29th. Ofce support is needed while she is
away. Nothing too strenuous! Just answering phones and taking messages.
Please call Pat at 203-453-2279 if you can help out. Many Thanks!
