Canterbury Ministries in aCtionCaring Days = Lasagna, HOMEgrOWn VEggiEs, & arT!

Homegrown Alabama and your Caring Days representatives will work together to offer a deli-

cious Veggie Lasagna supper to all who come to the Student Center on Wednesday, July 21, at

6:00 p.m. Produce from our Homegrown Alabama Farmer’s Market will be made into a great

meal for all to enjoy. It has even been reported that homemade Peach Cobbler may finish

off the meal! Proceeds from the meal will be donated to the Caring Days Capital Fundrais-

ing drive. Come and join your Caring Days representatives for a great meal and an evening of

fellowship - all for a great cause. The Caring Days Capital Campaign is raising money to pay

for land and a new functional building to care for adults with memory

disorders.

June was packed with art at Canterbury. The three exhibitions - Can-

terbury Kids, Arts ‘N’ Autism, and the Caring Days Art Exhibit - were a

huge success. In July, the CARING DAYS ART EXHIBIT continues, with new

art work replacing any pieces purchased. Donations to the Caring Days

Capital Campaign are welcomed.

SAVE YOUR SHOES

The EYC is collecting old athletic shoes for Share Our Soles. Share Our Soles is a non-profit or-

ganization that collects, cleans, and distributes running shoes to underprivileged youth in the

U. S. and around the world. So, clean out your closet! Bring us your tired, your smelly athletic

shoes (a.k.a. “sneakers,” tennis shoes) yearning to breathe free, between now and August 31,

to the box in Genevieve’s Office.

MEaLs On WHEELs nEEDs yOur HELp

“Feed my sheep.”

Jesus spoke these words to Peter in the last

chapter of the Gospel of John. The Fourth

Sunday Meals on Wheels Ministry is one way that

Canterbury Chapel follows Jesus’ instruction.

This ministry calls for us to give our time, talent, and treasure. Every fourth Sunday, one

of four teams prepare and package about 165 meals, and still more folks help deliver those

meals. The food and supplies are paid for by donations to the Meals on Wheels Ministry. Cur-

rently the funds used for this ministry are running very low. Please consider supporting this

ministry by making a donation - you may place it in the offering plate on Sundays or deliver it to the Chapel office. If you are giving by

COMMuniTy OF HOpE annuaL COnFErEnCE 2010

Gus Davis and Laurie Fowler attended the Com-

munity of Hope Annual Conference at Camp Allen in

Navasota, Texas. The Reverend Doctor Helen Apple-

berg, one of the founders of Community of Hope,

presided over the conference. There were workshops

on different aspects of COH training including de-

veloping leaders, new core curriculum, new ministry

opportunities, intentional listening, contemplative

practices, and community worship. In addition to

the formal sessions, the informal networking with

other COH members from Texas and other parts of the country was most valuable. Lots

of great friendships were renewed and new ones made at the conference. Gus and Laurie

are looking for candidates for the Fall 2010 Community of Hope Training Class. For more

information about COH, contact Gus Davis at gdgraphic@yahoo.com or (205) 310 5743.

THE DiOCEsE Digs Our garDEn

The Canterbury Community Garden (CCG) was recently

awarded a Parish Outreach Grant of $1,500 from the Dio-

cese of Alabama Mission and Outreach Department. Pa-

rishioners, students, and community members will decide

together how best to use the funds to help the Garden

become completely self-sustaining. Periodic updates and

notes from the senior Warden...

It was a privilege for me to recognize and honor Roland Ficken during coffee hour on

Sunday, June 27th, for his years of dedication and service as Deacon at Canterbury.

Roland began preparation for the Diaconate in 2000 and was ordained in November

of 2002. That year, Bishop Parsley assigned Roland to Canterbury Chapel where he

served until 2009. This was one year beyond his retirement as the Bishop asked him

to continue on in order to support Jon Chalmers and the parish through the 2008-

2009 transitional year.

Roland went above and beyond the call of duty as Deacon at Canterbury. His ded-

ication and tireless efforts to numerous outreach programs such as Meals on Wheels

and the Deacon’s Deli inspired and benefited many. Roland represented Canterbury

and our diocese through the disaster relief program assisting in relief

“Love one another as I have loved you.” This is the New Commandment from God. Our Lord

gives us this new, distilled direction at the Last Supper, and the body of believers has been try-

ing to follow it ever since. It is a narrow path.

And yet the brilliance of it is its simplicity. Wake up in the morning: love. Go to school or

work: love. Go home: love.

Love is the theme; the variations are the specific ways we carry out this love. Jesus is the

vine, we are the branches. God’s love in us comes out of us to others. Every person, every

situation can be loved with the love of the Holy One. If it all sounds too simple, just try it for

a solid week. For a single day. It is a narrow, narrow path.

One of the ways Christians love one another as Christ loves us involves working together.

In our working we dream a common dream and labor in a common field, and pray our common

prayer for the Lord’s will to be done. When everyone involved wins, the presence of the Lord

is unmistakable. Harmony happens. Individual fears and power agendas get rewritten, so that

every item on the new agenda is love, love, love. When this happens, Christian community

forms and, instantaneously, the Gospel gets loose in the neighborhood, just like it likes to do.

People begin to hear about and feel the influence of that Christian community. When a church

begins to love even the world beyond its walls, the very Kingdom of God comes near.

This is what’s happening at Canterbury. This is what you are doing.

When Homegrown Alabama and Caring Days get together to make a lasagna meal happen at

Canterbury, the Kingdom of God comes near. Money raised for the Caring Days Capital Fund is

money raised to better the lives of God’s people. This equals loving them as Christ loves us.

When Homegrown Alabama and Deacon’s Deli get together and give away food vouchers to

the people who come to Canterbury on Tuesday mornings for food, the Kingdom of God comes

near. In God’s Kingdom all are fed. Feeding God’s people equals loving them as Christ loves us.

When the EYC and Share Our Soles get together and collects old shoes to be refurbished and

given to the poor, God’s Kingdom is near. We become the feet and the hands of Christ when we

love others as he loves us.

When Arts N Autism and Caring Days get together at Canterbury for a common showing

in the art gallery, the Kingdom of God reveals itself. Raising awareness and money for both

groups is raising awareness and money to love and serve God’s people. This is loving others as

Christ loves us.

Canterbury Chapel is called to be the hands and feet of Christ on the campus and in the

wider community. Thank you for making this happen, thank you being this.

I wonder where the Spirit of the Lord will call us to go next?

The Peace of the Lord be always with you,

Dear Canterbury,

A PRAYER fOR tHE GUlf Of MExicO

We pray today for the preservation of

our natural environment, especially the

Gulf of Mexico and the lands and waters

it touches:

Guide those who labor to contain the oil

that endangers the creatures of sea and

land; Strengthen those who work to pro-

tect them; Have mercy on those whose

livelihoods will suffer; Forgive us for our

carelessness in using the resources of na-

ture, and give us wisdom and reverence

so to manage them in the future, that no

one may suffer from our abuse of them,

and that generations yet to come may

continue to praise you for your bounty;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Written by the Rev. Canon Beverly

Gibson, Sub-Dean of Christ Church

Cathedral, Mobile

This prayer and a litany for the Gulf of

Mexico is available online here: http://

continued from page 2

efforts throughout our diocese and the southeast including the destruction from the tor-

nado in Carbon Hill and the unforgettable wrath of Katrina in New Orleans. Roland’s deep

compassion, calm demeanor and strong work ethic were invaluable during these crises.

Throughout his tenure as Deacon, Roland served on the Vestry at Canterbury and several

boards for non-profit agencies in our community as a resource and a voice of reason, wis-

dom, encouragement and support.

Roland is a caring, compassionate and loving individual whom I have a great deal of

respect for. I am so grateful for his friendship and truly believe that Canterbury is a for-

tunate and blessed parish because of him. A portrait of Roland now hangs in the Canter-

bury Student Center honoring his service to our parish. On behalf of the Vestry and the

entire parish I want to offer a heartfelt expression of gratitude and appreciation! Thank

you Roland!

Volunteers of the CCG,

along with members of

Homegrown Alabama, have

a highly successful Farmers

Market voucher program for

patrons of Deacon’s Deli.

Vouchers redeemable only

at the Homegrown Alabama

Farmers Market are distrib-

uted every Tuesday morning along with fresh produce do-

nated by vendors of the Farmers Market. This program has

been funded so far by donations and by the money raised

parking cars on the lawn during football season. There is

a great interest in expanding this program to neighbor-

ing churches and food pantries. Those willing to volunteer

time or resources to this effort should contact Erica Smith,

Lindsey Mullen, Lydia Atkins or Kelley Hudlow. A special

thank you to all the farmers who’ve donated produce to

our deacon’s deli this month. Support local producers

by coming to the Homegrown Alabama Farmers market,

Thursdays, 3-6 pm, on the Canterbury lawn.

Next time you’re at the grocery story, please add a couple

of these items to your cart. You may put them in the basket

in the Student Center at any time. On the left are items we

cannot obtain from the West Alabama Food Bank or Sam’s

because they come in such large proportions. Thank you!5
