TRANSCRIPT
TOGETHER
Dear Friends,
Alleluia! Christ is risen!
Easter is not just a day, but a season. In it, we celebrate not merely our memories of Jesus or the ideas that we might have about him. No, we’re not keeping Eastertide because of our memories or ideas, but because Jesus himself, personally, was raised from death. He is risen!
Jesus has defeated death; he has come forth from the tomb. But what’s going on in the Resurrection is not merely a resuscitation of his prior life. The Easter life is a transformed life—even for our Lord; and also, in him, for us.
In Paul’s Letter to the Colossians, we read,
“So, if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.” (3:1-4)
So Jesus is changed in the Resurrection, and so are we.
In the cross and in the resurrection, we are told that we have already died, contrary to what seem to be the simple facts of our existence. We have died, and our real life—the life that energizes us now, but also leads beyond the frontiers of our mortality—is “hid” in Christ. So we are to be good seekers (and sharers) of hidden treasure. It’s not God’s intention that it stay hidden. We are to be part of the revelation of Christ; we—personally, and together, as The Church of the Holy Spirit.
So in our Eastertide journey, let’s not be in too much of a hurry to get back to “normal.” In Jesus Christ there is a new normal into which we are meant to grow. And we really need it, as does our world…... Urgently!
So, once again, Easter was not just a day, but a season. And to take it yet another step, Easter is not even just a season—but a whole life.
So then, dear sisters and brothers: through the grace of Christ, by the power of the Spirit, and to God’s glory, let’s live it!
Blessings always,
Adam +

May/June
2019
PENTECOST SUNDAY - JUNE 9TH
The day of Pentecost is the celebration of the beginning of the modern church, one in which the Holy Spirit was sent. When the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples,
they began to speak many languages. This miracle was given so that the disciples could spread the word of Jesus to many people throughout many different lands and these
people would understand the word of God given to all by Jesus.
It is also the 86th birthday of The Church of the Holy Spirit and will be Youth Recognition Sunday and our annual “Parish Cook-In”.
So wear your RED and come celebrate with us.

FOOD FOR KIDS - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - IT’S SIGN UP TIME FOR ANOTHER GREAT SUMMER! Brenda Ridgeway and Anne Koehler+
This summer, our 7th, we will be serving free meals to 400-500 children daily in 16 different community programs on the Lower/Outer Cape Monday thru Friday from June 24 – August 23. All of our sites from last year are returning. Plus, we have added Eastham Library and Kings Landing Brewster as new sites and Harwich Jr. Theatre is back after a one summer absence.
As many of you know, we make and distribute meals with a very small paid staff and the generous efforts of more than 100 volunteers from the communities we serve. All preparation work takes place here at The Church of the Holy Spirit. Whether you are an experienced hand with us or a newcomer, we hope you will sign up to help.
The volunteer roles include: FOOD PREPARATION from 7:30 – 9:30 am: Work in the kitchen preparing the lunches. PACKING LINE from 9:30 – 11:00 am: Work in assembly line fashion to fill lunch bags and pack them into
sanitized coolers. MISCELLANEOUS PREPARATION from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm: Help prepare for the following day. We can
always use those wanting a more “relaxed” task (like washing/cutting fresh fruit and vegetables or dividing bulk packs into single-serve) and those wanting something a bit more robust (like breaking down boxes and cleaning coolers).
DAILY DUMP RUN: Help keep the area clear by taking flattened card board boxes and other recyclables to the dump in the afternoon. Timing can be flexible.
We will again offer the ability to sign up online with SignUpGenius beginning May 1. TO SIGN UP ONLINE visit our website at www.food4kidscapecod.org and click on Volunteers. You can choose the days and roles you would like... As many or as few as you want.
If you find a slot you want is full, we hope you will try another one. If you would like to do more than we have openings for, jot a quick email to us and we'll work with you to find a job and time that works for all of us!
NEED HELP SIGNING UP? Members of the F4K Steering Committee will be in the Reception Room/Gallery every Sunday morning in May to assist you OR email us at [email protected] OR call Brenda Ridgeway at 1-207-557-3478 with the dates and roles you would like and we will sign you up.
DRIVERS – We haven't forgotten you! We know we will need drivers to deliver meals to Provincetown (6/24-8/23), Truro (6/24-8/23), Eastham (7/12-8/9) and Harwich (7/2-8/17). We may need drivers for Orleans (7/1-8/9) and Chatham (7/1-8/15).
If you would like to deliver coolers to one site, preferably on the same day each week (like every Tuesday to Eastham), email us at [email protected] or call Anne Koehler+ at 1-973-879-5986 and let us know the sites and days of the week you would prefer.

CHS HEALTH MINISTRIES— Ann Pike-Paris and Meg Nemitz, co-chairs
Summer is fast approaching and outdoor safety precautions are back. Be it protecting yourself with sunscreen, wearing your helmet when cycling or swimming and being mindful of the area you are in, please protect your self and those around you.
Over the past several months, 4 CHS parishioners have taken a free class offered by the Orleans Citizen Forum called “Stop the Bleed”. Started in 2013 in response to the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, this national effort offers free classes to communities with trained professionals to learn methods to stem bleeding until help can arrive. These methods are meant to increase the likelihood of survival, and give you skills to be used in any crisis involving bodily injury with bleeding.
If you are interested, please contact OrleansCitizensForum.org. The schedule of FREE classes is posted and as of 4/5/19, spots are still open for June 11th and 18th. Trained Orleans fire and rescue staff teach the techniques. Among the things you will learn is how to create your own emergency kit.
Here’s to a safe summer!

THIRD ANNUAL SUMMER CAPE COD WEEKEND FOR REFUGEES. (NEW AMERICANS) If you might be willing to host a family on July 12-14 or August 9-11, please contact Ken Campbell+ . This program has been
highly successful and has led to new permanent friendships in some cases. It includes a festive meal and music for hosts, refugee families and members of the Refugee Support Team of Nauset Interfaith at the Community of Jesus in Rock Harbor on Sunday afternoon.
Nauset Interfaith has formed a new action team, the Beloved Community Land Trust, which is seeking to purchase a house in Orleans for transitional housing with a residential spiritual leader couple ( Heidi Scheffler and Stephane Ruault ) and a commitment to permaculture. The hope is that this model can be replicated in each town on the Cape as long advocated by justice and peace advocate Alan Burt. The new team is supported by the YOH (Youth Outreach and Hospitality Team) of the Nauset Interfaith Association and chaired by Brooke Eaton Skea.
Please note the additional upcoming Nauset Interfaith events:
Holocaust Memorial Service, 2nd of May, 7 PM at the Nauset Regional Middle School;
“ This is Home,” a moving film about 4 Syrian refugee families who relocate in Baltimore. Saturday, June 1st at St. Joan of Arc, Orleans at 10 am in the Parish Hall. There will be a discussion following the film.
More information is available about Nauset Interfaith Association at our website: nausetinterfaith.org
RE-IMAGINING UPDATE: What are Affinity Groups? Melissa Keeffe
As you know, CHS has been going through a Re-Imagining process which you all have contributed to over the past two years. In response to the initial parish input, we formed a Re-Imagining Task Force (“RTF”) that spent much of 2018 interviewing all of the CHS ministries, groups and committees (“ministries”).
A key message to the RTF from these ministries during the interviews was the need to have more consistent interaction and communication between the Vestry and the ministries. Since there are more than 50 ministries and only a dozen Vestry members, the RTF and the Vestry grouped the ministries into nine Affinity Groups based on the similarity of their activities.
All of the individual ministries still exist, but they are now also part of a larger Affinity Group. The Affinity Groups are: Administration, Buildings & Grounds, Creative Arts, Education, Fundraisers, Hospitality, Outreach, Pastoral Care, and Worship.
Each Affinity Group has been assigned a Vestry liaison who will help the ministries in their Affinity Group continue the conversation the RTF started between the Vestry and the ministries. The Vestry liaison will also be convening Affinity Group meetings from time to time, to help the similarly themed groups communicate with each other, brainstorm ideas, and perhaps hold joint events. The Vestry liaison will also work to ensure the Vestry is doing what is necessary to support the great work done by our ministries. Check out the new bulletin board in the parish hall showing these new Affinity Groups and their affiliated ministries.
