Our Core Values – At St. John’s we will actively engage in Christian Fellowship and Community. We value our ability and desire to carry out God’s great commission serving the needs of our members and our community. (Acts 2:42, Acts 2:44-47, Acts 1:14, John 17:20-23) Therefore we will strive to look beyond our parish for opportunities to carry God’s redeeming message to the community without failing to meet the needs of those already in our midst.
Dr. Philip Thomas’ Retirement Party – Friends of Dr. Philip Thomas are organizing a retirement party for him, in appreciation of his 59 years of service to the Chuckatuck community. Dr. Thomas’ friends invite friends, patients, and neighbors to this event. The party will be held: October 9 at the Chuckatuck Volunteer Fire Department from 2:00 – 5:00 pm (floating).
Bishop’s Day East – This will be held Saturday, October 8th at Good Shepherd Norfolk. This program is open to all Church leaders and anyone interested in becoming a Church leader. This includes wardens, vestry members, treasurer, lay leaders, and anyone interested in any of these positions in the future. The cost is $15.00 per person. There are a number of workshops. Each person can attend two workshops. Reservations need to be made by October 3rd. If you are interested, please contact the Rector.
This Sunday’s Psalm – We will sing the portion of the Psalter in unison. We will use a metrical version of the Psalter from A New Metrical Psalter by Christopher Webber. The Psalm will be set to the Hymn 526, Let saints on earth in concert sing (Dundee), from the Hymnal 1982. The words and music will be found in a bulletin insert.
“Women’s” Book Study - The “Women’s” Book study will be starting Wednesday October 5th with a potluck at Margaret Tankovich’s house at 6:30 pm. The study is not limited to women alone; the Rector does participate most weeks. The potluck is not limited to study participants (spouses are welcome), Margaret has indicated the Potluck is open to anyone who wants to attend – she only needs to know you are attending. We will be studying The Grand Weaver by Dr. Ravi Zacharias this year. The first meeting will be Wednesday October 12th from 10:00-11:30 am in the Parish Hall when the Rector will lead a class on a topic to be determined. The first class from the book will be on October 19th. To RSVP and for more information contact Margaret Tankovich at 357-2168.
Olan Mills Photo Sign-up - Our picture dates have changed! The NEW sign-up sheets for the upcoming directory photo shoot are in the Narthex. Please sign-up for a slot on Wednesday October 12 or Thursday October 13. Our block of time is from 2:00-9:20 pm both days. Please sign up to make our directory a success and representative of the parish.
$$ Pledge Drive $$ – We will be conducting our pledge drive in the coming weeks. Please be aware that (1) your pledge, while it should be firm, is not cut in stone – you can modify your pledge based on family and financial situations; (2) the pledge includes time, talent, and treasure to help the church achieve its mission and vision; (3) every little bit helps and helps us plan for the coming program year; (4) is something that you should determine based on your prayerful consideration of the thankfulness you have for God’s gracious bounty in your life – not simply in the past year but over the span of your lifetime.
Fran McKendree Concert – St. Christopher’s Portsmouth is hosting the Christian Musician Fran McKendree on October 29th at 7:00 pm in their Sanctuary. Fran is an amazing and gifted musician and minister of God’s word. He has the ability to bring out the celebratory side of people during his concerts. Advance tickets for the concert are $10/person ($8/person for families of 4 or more). In addition, a canned good for St. Christopher’s food pantry would be appreciated if you attend the concert. For more information see the flyer in the Rector’s Study.
Coffee Hour – There is a sign-up sheet for Coffee Hour in the Narthex. Please sign-up for an upcoming Sunday. The goodies can be as extravagant or simple as you would like – you need not be a gourmet chef to volunteer, simply desire to assist the fellowship efforts at the church.
Formation Classes – This week’s class will discuss our Old Testament reading: Exodus 20:1-4, 7-9, 12-20, The Ten Commandments. All are invited to join us in the Parish Hall from 9:15-10:15. Next week we will cover Exodus 32:1-14, The Golden Calf.
Thought for the week – Doubt: If you find yourself in a place this day [morning] in a place where you lack certitude, where you cannot give ascent to a string of intellectual propositions—and many is the day [morning] that many of us cannot—then admit to honest doubt, to searching questions, and to genuine need. And that’s enough.
-Br. Kevin Hackett, SSJE

Sermon for Sunday September 25, 2011 - Pentecost 15 A (Proper 21)
Welcome to all as we close out September from damp yet beautiful Suffolk. It is a sign of grace that even as Fall arrives there are still signs of new life (besides the mushrooms); the back half of the yard is filled with beautiful little yellow flowers. Today marks the countdown to the return of our annual Yard Sale. There are lots of things to purchase at the church and many of them will be of very good quality - I invite you to come and see and purchase something to help us raise money for Outreach. Today’s sermon was entitled “Where do you get your authority?” below.

Christian education for Sunday September 25, 2011; Exodus 17:1-7
Exodus 17:1-7
Water From The Rock
Background: The journey to Sinai is marked in stages from the crossing of the sea to arrival at Sinai. The stages along the way are marked by stories of God’s providence with the Israelites; water, bread, meat, and protection. At the end of these vignettes the Israelites will receive the Covenant at Sinai. These stories are also marked by a murmuring cycle where God provides, Israel accepts, Israel tires, God shakes them up, and Israel returns to relationship with God.
Questions to Ponder
Preparatory work: Please read Numbers 20:2-13
* What has transpired since Israel was informed they would have enough bread and quail to live in the desert?* Would the context of the story change if, in verse 17:1, the phrase “…there was no water for the people to drink.” instead read, “…there was not enough water for the people to drink.”?
* Why might Moses be the focus of the Israelite’s quarreling at Massah and Meribah as opposed to Moses and Aaron in Exodus 16:2 and Numbers 20:2?
* How would the context of the story change if, in verse 17:3, the phrase changed from, “…bring us out…and our…” to “…bring me out… and my…”?
* In Exodus Moses is told to “strike the rock” to get water while in Numbers he is supposed to “command the rock” to provide water. What might the significance of this difference be?
* How may the identification of Moses’ staff as “the staff which you struck the Nile…” be important to the message of Exodus? Would the absence of that phrase in the Numbers version imply a different message? If so, what might that difference be?
* In Numbers Moses actually incurs the wrath of God for striking the rock. Why would God get angry at Moses for striking the rock in one account while telling Moses to strike the rock in another? Why might Moses have struck the rock in Numbers?
* How did the Israelites recognize that “God is among [us]” them? How do we know that God was among the Israelites?
* What are the implications of this story for us today?

Sermon for Sunday September 18, 2011
Church went well today and we’re still working back into our regular year attendance. On the plus side we did have 4 kids in the nursery (which means their parents are in church). I hope we can keep that habit of children at church. As is our habit, we had a nice healing Eucharist and even had a few come forward. Today’s sermon is appended entitled “Our reward and our mission – come near to God.”

Our Core Values – At St. John’s we will practice Traditional and Authentic Worship. We value our faith tradition and its form of worship; as an indicator of our authentic faith in God. (Romans 12:1-2, Proverbs 22:6, 2 Thessalonians 2:15, Deuteronomy 6:6-7) Therefore we will continue to practice corporate and personal worship as understood and handed down in the Anglican and Episcopal traditions.
Thought for the week – Word: The final word belongs to God, and that word, like the very first word that God speaks, is light. That word is life. That word is love. That word is resurrection. That word is hope.

Sermon and Remembrance on September 11, 2011
This week was a nice week after all the fun from weeks ago – Irene and the cleanup from the downed trees. We had a nice turnout as we reflected on the 10th anniversary of the terrorist’s attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania. We actually had two services today – the main service at St. John’s this morning and a moving community celebration of remembrance at the Chuckatuck Volunteer Fire Department. The community celebration included people from Wesley Chapel, Oakland Christian Church, Suffolk Christian Church, two Ruritan groups, the Greater Chuckatuck Historical Society, and (of course) the Chuckatuck Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad. We had a good turn out this evening, a blessing because it was the first time the service was held, and there were many comments about the remembrance.
There was a lot of food for thought in our lessons and for the day. Today’s sermon was entitled “Let God be the judge.” Peace,
Les+

Sermon for Sunday September 4, 2011 - Pentecost 12 A
What a difference a week makes. Last week we canceled service because of hurricane Irene; this week we had nice weather and a good turn out. We did have a busy week that was spent cleaning up the yards - both ours and Mr. Winslow's place from the aftereffects of the hurricane. All our efforts paid off today because we had visitors. It was nice to haul out ~15 cubic yards of brush.
I hope you are challenged by today’s sermon which is entitled “Of hurricanes, reunions, and the Passover.”
Peace,
Les+
