The Red Door APRIL 2018
MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR
Dear Friends in Christ,
The ancient method of calculating Easter has moved us up quite early in April this
spring - not as early as it could be - but early enough. Easter is always the first Sunday after the full moon, after the spring equinox. This month the full moon is just one day before Easter - March 31. You may be surprised and intrigued to know that in our Book of Common Prayer there are tables and rules for determining Easter dates on pages 880-883. For those who enjoy mathematical puzzles and codes, you’ll enjoy the tables. If anyone wants to look ahead and plan vacation for the year 2089, Easter will be on April 3 that year!
Scanning the tables for the different dates for Easter, there appears to be no set pattern except that Easter cannot be earlier than March 22 nor later than April 25. The dates meander back and forth between March and April with the revolutions of the moon around this little planet. Somehow we get through Lent every year and arrive at Easter with resurrected lives in Christ. Resurrected lives that survive the pushes and pulls of this world and the people with whom we coexist.
As we walked the labyrinth at the Women’s Retreat last week, I thought of the pushes and pulls of life and the meandering of the labyrinth paths - in and around one another as we tried to put our hearts, minds and souls into a place of release walking toward the center of the labyrinth. Trying to let go of distractions and worries even as people moved beside us or bumped into us, focusing on being silent, slowing down, and bringing ourselves into the exquisite presence of God’s creation all around us. However, as well as the intentional silence and removal of distractions, the movements of the people around me seemed just as important an intent. For the first time I’d walked a labyrinth, it was crystal clear that the people passing by me, bumping into me slightly at times, walking parallel with me for a few moments, making eye contact and then moving on, and those I never passed by were so much like the people in our lives - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It also became a beautiful metaphor for how God in Christ acts in our lives - often through people - walking with us, intentionally bumping us at times, looking us right in the eyes of our souls in quiet moments. The variations of sunlight and shade flickering through the foliage onto the labyrinth seemed to bring the time alive even more.
Eventually we arrived at the center of the labyrinth - a place where we’re asked to stay for a moment and receive new insights about life and that we are so loved by Christ. I found it easier and clearer and so restoring because of the presence of those who had walked with me. Even those who were unable to walk physically translated a strong presence of strength and love.
As you receive and read this newsletter, it will be the very first week following Easter and your Lenten journey will be complete. Hopefully, you’ll have walked the labyrinth of your life - in community - during Lent - and tried to release worries, receive and restore yourselves in the only center - Jesus Christ. Your walk through Easter season and on into the rest of the year is not unlike the labyrinth’s last phase of leaving the center and returning to the world. The blessing in all of this is that you never “leave your center” - Christ is always with you - in all the meanderings of your labyrinth–like lives. Walking with God in Christ is not reserved for a Lenten journey - we release, receive, and return day after day after day, as Christ is revealed to us in our resurrections of one another. In prayer, hope and love, Ellen+

Madden Education Scholarships If you plan to apply for a
scholarship, this is the time of
year to do so! The deadline
for application is April 27th.
St. Michael's is blessed to
have this scholarship fund for
adults and teens in the parish who want to pursue
further education. Please contact Judy Workman,
Chair of the Madden Education Fund Committee
[email protected] for an application or call the
church office (239) 472-2173.
Taizé – Third Wednesdays Join us on April 18th at 6:00 p.m. for a
peace-filled service of candlelight, music,
prayer and silence. Taizé is a small town
in France where a community of brothers
first opened its doors to the public to welcome them
to pray, sing, and be silent – most importantly to
invite them into a place of peace from a hectic world.
This 25-minute service on the third Wednesday of
the month will offer you a holy and melodic rhythm
– one you may want to take back into your busy lives.
Mostly, it is a time for all of us to create a space to
hear where God is speaking. It will be followed by
refreshments and light snacks.
June 4th ~ 5:00 p.m.
Pool Party at the Sloans’ Home
Meghan Warner, Youth Leader
Morning Prayer on Tuesdays Why not try this simple and beautiful way to begin
your day – in prayer circled around a single candle.
We hope you can join us on Tuesdays in the Angel
Chapel for these 20 minutes of peace and prayer with
the Lord. (9:00 a.m.)
Welcome and Congratulations
to New Vestry Members
and Officers At the 59th Annual Meeting of the Congregation
three new Vestry members were elected: Norma
Emerson, Linda Seifert and Christine Sproles.
Bruce Pattison was appointed by the Rector as our
new Senior Warden. Following the Annual Meeting,
the new Vestry met and appointed Lee Almas for
another year as Junior Warden; elected Jim Garfield
for another year as Treasurer; and selected Julie
Boyd for another year as Secretary. Mary Vollmer
was also appointed by the Rector at the Annual
Meeting as Clerk of the Vestry. Thank you to
everyone for their good energy and commitment to
St. Michael and All Angels.
Outreach Ministry and
Youth Group’s
Lenten Drive
Deep gratitude to the Outreach Ministry and
Youth Group’s efforts to collect hundreds
of hygiene products, diapers and laundry
detergent for the Immokalee farmworkers.
These will be delivered to the farmworkers
through Mission Peniel, a Christ-centered
mission established by the Presbyterian
Church of Florida twelve years ago. Mission
Peniel is run by Fr. Miguel Estrada and Ruth
DeYoe - both of whom are extremely grateful
for our donations - including over 500 hooded
sweatshirts in January/ February!

Newcomers/Visitors
Gathering a Success A total of 18 newcomers met at the home
of Julie and Corky Boyd and the evening was filled with delicious food and great conversations about the goings-on at St.
Michael’s. Special thanks to Pam Ellis, Chair of the Welcome Team, to Julie and
Corky, and to the many people on the Welcome Team itself who helped make this evening a success.
April brings us the wonderful Hallelujahs of the Easter Season. The anthems and hymns continue this theme. We will sing
the moving Ride the Chariot and This Joyful Eastertide. Solos will also continue to bring
us the joy of Easter.
One should remember the Piano Duet
Concert with Jan Holly and Roxane Olevsky on April 4th, and Maria Zoltek will sing for the 8:00 a.m. services on April 15th
and 29th. This will be the last 8:00 a.m. service of the season.
April 15th will also feature all of the celebration that we can muster for the sixtieth anniversary of our Parish. The
choir will sing the Ralph Vaughan-Williams O How Amiable.
A quick look ahead shows us that the Southwest Florida Chapter of the American Guild of Organists will again have their
annual banquet at our church on Friday evening, May 11th. The National Chaplain of this organization, the Rev. Dr.
Don Saliers of Emory University School of Theology will be our guest speaker.

Meditation (On Psalm 116 and Romans 8:28-39 - Martin Smith)
Spirit of new life, breathed into me from the Risen
Christ, prepare me to celebrate his rising in power.
Something has happened on the first day of the
week, powerful enough to heal every wound, to
recover every waste, to break down every barrier, to
unlock every prison, to forgive every transgression,
to unite everything at odds. There IS love enough
to flood every heart, to raise everyone dead and lost.
But this is too much for me to grasp and, without
your help, overwhelmed by the immensity of it all,
I will be tempted to shrink the resurrection to the
proportions of my own understanding and my
Easter will be worldly and banal. Help me to lose
myself in adoration. I cannot grasp the resurrection.
But it can grasp me and give rise in me to a
loving heart that is losing the limits of its
compassion.
Thank You from the
OI Foundation On December 11, 2017, the Osteogenesis Imperfecta
(OI) Foundation CEO Tracy Hart and parishioner
Susan Wilson, OIF long-time volunteer and former
OIF board member, were given the opportunity to
talk to the ECW at St. Michael’s about the mission
of the OIF. Susie also shared her first-hand accounts
of life as a person living with OI – from fractures,
going to college, driving, to living independently,
and becoming your own patient advocate. The crowd
was attentive and asked such wonderful questions –
it was an amazing opportunity for the OIF to spread
the word about this rare genetic bone disorder. To
learn more about OI please go to their website
at www.oif.org
Following the presentations and the question and
answer period, the women surprised the OIF by
donating more than $300 to be used for the OI
National Conference Scholarship program which
will enable at least one person from Florida with OI
the opportunity to attend the conference in
Baltimore, Maryland in July 2018! The spontaneous
generosity was something that meant so much to the
OIF and on behalf of all the volunteers of the
OIF...Tracy and Susie thank you and look forward to
their next opportunity to talk to the ECW.

World Day of Prayer What a success our
Interfaith World Day
of Prayer was due to
the energetic work of
women from Chapel
By the Sea, Captiva;
Sanibel Community
Church, St. Isabel
Catholic Church,
Sanibel Congregational/United Church of Christ, Bat
Yam Temple, Christian Science Congregation, and
St. Michael’s Episcopal Church. Chaired by our own
Joyce Ross (pictured-R), over hundred people were in
attendance as we listened to Indrani Radahkishun
(pictured-L) raised in Suriname, read prayers from the
worship service designed by the women of
Suriname, were inspired by the beautiful Sacred
Dancers from St. Michael’s, and enjoyed delicious
Surinamese cooking.

From Your Parish Nurse,
Wendy We are fortunate at St. Michael and All Angels to be
located in what most think is paradise. Lots of sun
and time outside can put our skin at risk without the
proper protection. Some of you may not realize that
our biggest organ of the body is our skin. Cancer
Treatment Centers explains that “the skin is made of
a variety of cells, many of which are in constant
motion. Round basal cells below the surface flatten
as they rise to replace dead, flaking squamous cells
on the surface. Melanocytes tan the skin in the
sunlight, and Merkel cells give skin its ability to
sense touch. When these cells become damaged, they
may develop into skin cancer.”
The most common types of skin cancer are Basal
Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma,
Melanoma and Merkel Cell Carcinoma. There are
some other rare types of skin cancers but these are
usually related to some other disease process. Basal
Cell Carcinoma accounts for 80 percent of the new
cases of cancer that are diagnosed each year.
Although these are slow growing, they do not usually
spread or metastasize. Squamous Cell Carcinoma is
similar to Basal Cell in that it is slow growing too
and usually does not spread. It is the second most
common skin carcinoma. Melanoma accounts for
about 2 percent of skin cancers diagnosed each year
and ”is the fifth most common cancer in the United
States, with more than 85,000 cases diagnosed each
year.” Merkel Cell Carcinoma “is rare but aggressive
form of skin cancer.” This skin cancer may
metastasize to the brain, bones, liver or lungs.
There are basics steps that all of us need to prevent
skin cancer and protect our skin from the sun and
other sources of ultraviolet(UV) rays during those
sunny and even cloudy days. These four steps to
accomplish this are: Stay in the shade as much as
possible between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., use sunscreen
with SPF 15 or higher along with lip balm, cover up
with long sleeves, long pants or a skirt, a hat, and
sunglasses and avoid indoor tanning. Lastly, check
your skin regularly. If there are changes or growths
on the skin or areas that don’t heal, take note and ask
your healthcare provider to inspect.
As always, I am here for any questions or help you
may need feel free to email me at
[email protected] or leave me a message
in the office.

Successful Stewardship
Season Special thanks to the Stewardship Team,
Chair Hyde Tucker, and to all of the people
who hosted our Neighborhood Conversations.
Most of all, deep gratitude to the 250
parishioners who made a financial pledge to
St. Michael’s for 2018. That is an amazing
total number of people who listened and
understood the importance of pledging, not
only for the Vestry’s annual budget purposes,
but also for the long-term planning and
sustainability of this parish and all that it
does locally and globally. In that total 87
people increased their annual offering, and
we had 36 brand new pledges!
Back in 1958 a group of people first conceived
of St. Michael’s and went from holding
services in the Casa Marina Restaurant on
the bay to building a church in 1960/61. Your
pledges – like their commitments of time,
talent and treasure so long ago – will ensure
that this parish keeps acting as the hands
and feet of Christ for hundreds of years to
come.
Christian Yoga
Tuesdays, 2:30-3:30 p.m.
in St. Michael’s Parish Hall
Classes: April 3rd & 17th (No classes May-Sept…will resume in the Fall)
Christian Yoga – as a gentle practice and prayer for
better health, will be offered free of charge, the first
and third, Tuesdays of the month starting in
November. The class will convene in the St.
Michael’s parish hall and will go from 2:30pm to
3:30pm. Please bring a yoga or sticky mat, a strap
and reframe from eating an hour and a half prior to
class. All participants must be able to get up and off
the floor by themselves.
The first part of the class will be spent on breath
work. We will move to stretches and extensions on
the floor. We will then rise and work on balance and
standing poses. The last part of the class is our final
relaxation pose, meditation and prayer. Please come
join us.
If you have any questions; call Gari Lewis Certified
