For more information please visit our website www.stjohnsdeewhy.org.au FROM THE RECTOR 22 June 2014 Dear Friends, The feast of Corpus Christi (the Body and Blood of Christ) gives us the opportunity to reflect on Jesus’ wonderful gift to us of himself in the Holy Eucharist. In the Blessed Sacrament we participate in and show forth Christ’s saving passion and death, receive his divine life and experience his presence and love. The Eucharist is not an optional extra for those Christians who might like this way of worshipping. Jesus commanded us to celebrate the Eucharist as the means whereby we are incorporated into the community of the redeemed and equipped by his grace through word and sacrament to serve him in the world. May our worship today bring us close to the Saviour who calls us to this sacred banquet. With every blessing, Fr Steven Salmon, Rector COMING EVENTS Sun 22 Jun Sat 19 Jul Sat 9 Aug Sat 23 Aug Sat 20 Sun 21 Sep Sat 11 Oct Sun 19 Oct Mon 3 Nov Sat 22 Nov Sun 23 Nov Corpus Christi Choral Evensong – Cathedral Singers 6:00pm Men’s Breakfast following 7:30am Eucharist Rising Stars of the Organ 2:00pm Trivia Night 6:00pm Weekend Festival of Music Afternoon Tea Dance 3:00pm Bear Cottage Benefit Concert 7:00pm Dedication Festival & Parish Lunch 10:00am All Souls’ Day – Fauré’s Requiem 7:30pm St John’s Parish Fête Christ the King – Cathedral Singers 10:00am PARISH NEWS Music notes for today’s Family Eucharist: The anthem this morning is a setting of the fourteenth-century Eucharistic hymn 'Ave Verum Corpus' (K618) composed by W. A. Mozart (1756-1791) in June 1791 at the spa town of Baden bei Wien, near Vienna. Mozart wrote the motet in a break during the composition of The Magic Flute. Written only six months before his death the motet foreshadows various stylistic elements of the famous Requiem. The opening of the motet is usually translated as follows: Hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary, who having truly suffered, was sacrificed on the cross for mankind, whose pierced side flowed with water and blood. The voluntary this morning is a series of variations over a fixed pedal motif, known in German as a Passacaglia and in English as a Chaconne. The organist Dietrich Buxtehude (c. 1637 - 1707) was a great inspiration to J. S. Bach who once walked over 200 miles to hear him play. Corpus Christi – Choral Evensong: Tonight at 6:00pm we welcome again The Cathedral Singers singing Evensong, to be followed by refreshments. This group was formed in 1989 and consists of around twenty people dedicated to excellence in church music and who perform a wide repertoire from the 16th to 21st centuries. Helpers needed, please to assist with bringing food for supper, welcome guests and join in the worship; please speak with Robyn Couch if you can help. St John’s Pins'n'Needles Group meets next on Tuesday 24 June, 9:30am to 12:30pm in the hall. For information, please speak with Pam Fisher (9939 6330) or Heather Andrews (9971 6132). St John’s weekday ministries will be in recess over the school holidays from Monday 30 June to Friday 11 July, including children’s and young people’s activities, and Wednesday Bible Studies. A well-earned break and opportunity to refresh for our many ministry leaders! Fr Steven and Dn Sandra will be taking leave over this time also; On 6 and 13 July, Fr John Butterworth is to take the Sunday morning services (to include Godly Play at 10:00am). Deacon Jenny will take the Wednesday Services and look after any funerals, however, there will be no other weekday services in the holidays; There will be no evening service on Sunday 6 July. Tom Edwards will sing Evensong on 13 July. School Holiday Arrangements: Happy Birthday to Heather Andrews (25th), Sally Bate, Ray Phelps (28th) Daily Mass: In the Eucharist we recall, proclaim and share sacramentally in Christ’s offering of himself on the Cross for our salvation. It is both a gift and a commandment from the Lord. The daily Mass is the engine that drives the parish! Please be part of this ministry of prayer and worship during the week if you are able, especially if you are coming in to St John’s anyway for some rostered duty or other purpose. (I might add that there could be no greater support and encouragement to our deacons Sandra and Jenny, and to me.) …Fr Steven St John’s Church and Community Centre – Sanctuary for all seeking purpose in life; finding and sharing hope and strength; a place for prayer, meditation, listening, learning, understanding, friendship, care, encouragement and action. Reading this week’s pew sheet, please reflect on ministries that focus on: Worship at St John’s. The people at worship are truly blessed – and through the sacraments we share those special moments – receiving and taking into our everyday lives God’s rich grace. Think about this: our own congregation at worship is one small part of the millions of men, women and children who gather united for this purpose – all denominations, all races, on all continents – all people on different paths and stages in their life journeys, but each seeking in their individual situation to discover and follow “the way, truth and life”. It is with this wider perspective that each Christian can believe, hold hope and convey the love that will truly transform the world. For our part there are many at St John’s who are actively working in this universal act of worship. Our Parish worship extends beyond the Sunday morning services to the homes of the sick and housebound, to the daily Mass and to other places where two and three are gathered in his name. It is not only Fr Steven, Dn Sandra and Dn Jenny, but also our servers, eucharistic assistants, leaders of different groups in the parish, organist and choir, readers and intercessors, sidespeople, those who prepare the gifts and other items used in the services, those who clean and maintain our church building and contents, and those who arrange fellowship and refreshments – all are privileged to be part of this great world-wide sacred offering. “How do we encourage those involved in our worship ministry”? Family home become too big? Too lonely? Living in a Serviced Apartment at Willandra Village you can continue to enjoy your independent lifestyle in a friendly and caring environment. With the added benefit of letting someone else look after the meal preparation, cleaning and heavy laundry.
