July A.D. 2021
Dear Members and Friends of St. Martin’s,
AST month I watched Friends: The Reunion on HBO Max. The original series ran from
L September 22, 1994- May 6, 2004. I was one of the millions that watched the show when
it originally aired every week, all the way to the very end to see if Ross and Rachel would finally get together. I like the
show. I still watch it whenever I am home on TBS. I cannot number the times I have seen each episode at this point.
Needless to say, I can now anticipate and quote lines from many of the episodes!
Watching the reunion show made me feel very nostalgic and, by the end, once again very sad that the show had ended.
It was an emotional reunion not only for the cast, but also, I am sure, for the many, many viewers such as myself. The
overriding feeling I had, however, in watching the show was how old I felt! Friends ended 17 years ago, and the actors look
like it (that is not a negative criticism, just an observation). While watching the show I asked Alexa how old Matt
LeBlanc, the actor who played Joey in the show, was. “Matt LeBlanc is 53 years old,” she replied. Two years younger than
I! I wasn’t going to ask Alexa about any more of the cast. (Interestingly enough, I have often done the same watching
Golden Girls, another favorite show. I look up when the episode I am watching originally aired, and ask Alexia when one
of the actresses was born. I then do the calculations. Not long ago, I learned that Rue McClanahan, the actress that
played Blanch, was 52 years old when the episode aired. Again, three years younger than I am now! I really need to stop
asking!).
Age does not usually bother me—honestly—and I have never really minded getting older. Even when asked if I would
ever go back if I had the chance, my answer is usually no. Perhaps with everything going on in the world over the past
couple of years, however, it is easier for one to begin to feel his or her age (a reason or an excuse? I’ll let you decide!). But
after the Friends reunion show, I was not only more aware of my age, it did begin to bother me just a bit. It was one of those
“Where is life going? What does it all mean?” moments which younger people, I think, hardly ever have, or hardly ever
seem to have. Any sense of an end to the young is still for many way outside of their purview. But as people age and
favorite television shows end, and more and more people we know die (actors, actresses and, more importantly, the people
we actually know and love), “the end” becomes very much in the picture and, like it or not, we have to respond to it.
Thank God that, as Christians, we have Someone within us who helps us to respond to all such things pertaining to “the
end,” the Holy Spirit.
As I found myself focused on aging and wondering where everything was going and what it all meant, the Holy Spirit
brought to my mind (and heart) the words of Keith Green’s song, By the Grace of God I’m Saved. Read the words with me
again, and see for yourself whether or not what I recalled was not truly the Holy Spirit’s gift to my mind and heart in the
midst of my questions and concerns:
Lord, the feelings are not the same
I guess I'm older, I guess I've changed
And how I wish it had been explained
That as you're growing you must remember
That nothing lasts, except the grace of God
By which I stand, in Jesus
I know that I would surely fall away, except for grace
By which I'm saved
Lord, I remember that special way
I vowed to serve You, when it was brand new
But like Peter, I can't even watch and pray
One hour with You and I bet, I could deny You too
Continued on next page . . .From the Pastor, July A.D. 2021
Page 02
But nothing lasts, except the grace of God
By which I stand, in Jesus
I'm sure that my whole life would waste away, except for grace
By which I'm saved
“Nothing lasts, except the grace of God by which I stand . . . .” I was genuinely blessed by the realization. But I was also
saddened by the realization of the tremendous number of people who do not know the truth of that song, let alone the truth
of God Himself. “Nothing lasts forever!” many people say. And while it may be just a saying to them at the time, when
the reality of that truth comes to fruition, a saying can easily turn into heartbreak and hopelessness. What can we do?
This month the Church celebrates the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (July 2, pictured on the cover
of this month’s newsletter). This feast commemorates the day on which Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth to share the good
news that she has been called to be the Mother of God, the Mother of the Savior (St. Luke 1.39-56). Some say that Mary
went to her to help Elizabeth in her old age in her own pregnancy with St. John the Baptist. Elizabeth rejoices with Mary
in divine fashion, “And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled
with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your
womb!’” (vv.41-42). For three months the two share the joy of what God was doing in them, and in what He was
promising to do through them for the world. God’s salvation promised at the fall of our first parents in the Garden of Eden
was coming to fulfillment!
The Visitation reminds us not only that we must always be ready to help those in need as Mary assisted Elizabeth, but
that we must always be ready to share the good news of the grace of God displayed in and through the Person and work
of Jesus Christ. It is His work and grace alone that saves us, which lasts forever, and which gives purpose and meaning
to every day of life for both the young, the old, and everyone in between. Not surprisingly most people will likely not ask
us directly about this tremendous thing God has done. Their situations and circumstances, however, can provide us the
perfect opportunity to get our foot in the door and offer God’s “gracious greeting.” A job is lost. Good health is
jeopardized. A marriage suddenly ends in divorce. It doesn’t even have to be that major or tragic of a situation for people
to come face-to-face with their mortality, the shortness and tenuous nature of life, and the end of all things. Trust me
when I say that if the Holy Spirit can use something as seemingly insignificant as a television show to bring the truth of
the everlasting nature of God’s grace in Christ back to me, He can and will use any situation in anyone’s life to do the same.
Look through the Scriptures and you will note the many, many strange and wonderful ways God has used in the past to
get His people’s attention and communicate the truth of His mercy and grace. And He has used many strange and
wonderful people to communicate His truth in the process. What a joy with Mary and Elizabeth to be a part of that
communication!
I got over feeling old rather quickly, thanks to God! But I know that ahead of me are many more experiences,
opportunities, and circumstances to remind me again of just how old I am getting. I also realize, of course, that there are
many of you reading this who are much older than I thinking, “Pfft! He’s young. Just wait!” Well, I will and I can wait,
thank you very much. In the meantime, with the continuing help of God the Holy Spirit, I will gladly and joyfully wait
together with you ON THE LORD (Isaiah 40.31). And waiting on the Him with you, let us continue to share the Good
News, and let us continue to stand in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I remain . . .
Faithfully yours in the friendship of Christ and St. Martin,

St. Martin’s & COVID-19 Protocols
shared by Pastor Waite in worship on Sunday, June 20, 2021
The governor of the state of Michigan announced this past week that all statewide restrictions pertaining to
the COVID-19 pandemic, including all mask mandates, originally slated to expire on July 1, will now expire this
Tuesday, June 22. In light of that announcement, by a simple majority vote, St. Martin’s Executive Committee
has decided to suspend all COVID protocols at St. Martin’s effective immediately.
This means that masks are no longer required or recommended at St. Martin’s, and that during this
morning’s liturgy we will return to holding hands during the Lord’s Prayer for those who choose to do so; we
will return to the sharing the Peace; we will be receiving Holy Communion once again while kneeling at the
Altar; and we will be greeting one another in the narthex following worship.
Please take the time to read through the insert in this morning’s worship folder regarding the sharing of the
Peace*. We are asking that, as we return to sharing of the Peace, all of us be mindful of what this action of
Peace-sharing is all about so that we do not allow this time of sharing the Peace to become disruptive and
destructive to the flow of worship. Any questions regarding this matter may be addressed to Caryann Kaatz,
chair of the Worship Committee.
Please know that I am grateful for the support of the entire parish family of St. Martin’s, both members and
friends, who have followed and cooperated with the protocols put in place by the Executive Committee and
Church Council during the pandemic. As with all things related to people, for some these protocols were too
strict, while for others they were never strict enough. Know, however, that the leadership of St. Martin’s,
guided by its sense of duty to God, His Word, and His Church, always sought to respond in ways that were
appropriate for our gathering here which not only took seriously the dangers of the pandemic, but which also
sought to respect and preserve our God-given individual liberties and rights. I am very grateful to the
leadership of St. Martin’s for their leadership, care, and concern during the time of the pandemic.
As the weeks and months progress, we are looking forward to resuming many of our normal activities here
at St. Martin’s, including the third Friday night Euchre parties beginning in September, as well as the annual
Fall Supper and other opportunities for gathering. Above all of this, we give thanks to God for His faithfulness
and dedication to us, His people, in bringing us safely through this time and through whatever else the future
may hold. To Him be all the glory, honor, and praise. Thank you.
* – Please see the reverse side for a special note regarding the sharing of the Peace from Pastor.As We Return to the Exchange of Peace . . .
A Pastoral Perspective
HORTLY we will be returning to the exchange of Peace (the Pax Domini) in the liturgy. While we have continued verbally to
S exchange the Peace between Celebrant and People, due to the pandemic we have not been exchanging the Peace physically with
one another. Many are looking forward to being able to exchange the Peace once again. Some, however, are not all that eager to
return to the exchange of Peace as it was practiced prior to the pandemic.
As we consider returning to the sharing of the Peace, there has been some discussion about how the sharing of Peace at St.
Martin’s in the past has had the tendency to disrupt the over-all flow of worship. The exuberant and outgoing exchange of Peace
at St. Martin’s has been jokingly referred to as “half time” and “intermission.” It has been observed that people have moved away
from the actual sharing of the Peace into discussions and exchanges often not related to worship or its focus at all. The way the
Peace was exchanged during the pandemic, it is argued, better allowed for the uninterrupted flow of worship, especially as we
approach the pinnacle of worship, the reception of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
Others, however, who enjoy St. Martin’s practice of an exuberant and boisterous sharing of Peace, explain that the joy that is
shared during this time is really nothing less than the joy of the Lord itself. To try to squelch that, they say, would simply make the
exchange of Peace something formal, cold, and rigid. Further, they suggest that those who do not have the opportunity or freedom
to go out and see and socialize with others during the week actually look forward to this time of fellowship during the exchange of
Peace. It would not be fair to them, they suggest, to change or do away with it.
An uninterrupted flow of worship. Sharing the joy of the Lord without becoming formal, cold, and rigid. Are both
understandings and practices of the exchange of Peace possible? I believe so!
In Worship Wordbook: A Practical Guide for Parish Worship (Minneapolis: Augsburg Fortress, 1995) the Peace is described as “...a
profound experience of baptismal unity, reconciliation (Matthew 5:23-24), mutual acceptance, and an expression of resolve for all
to work together in the Church’s mission. The Peace is thus a response to the Gospel that has been proclaimed, and it is an act of
preparation for the Communion which follows” (page 139). Manual on the Liturgy: Lutheran Book of Worship (Minneapolis: Augsburg,
1979) cautions, “The personal exchange of peace should be as unpatterned as possible, but its meaning and significance should be
kept clear. It is not the occasion for mere conviviality” (page 228). This means that while the exchange of peace should never
become simply cold or formal, it also not done simply to make people feel happy and welcome (the definition of “conviviality”).
The Peace, like everything else in the Liturgy, has a higher purpose, and we do well when all of us work together to remind each other
of that higher meaning and purpose. How might we do that?
I would suggest three “R’s” to keep in mind when sharing the Peace:
• REMEMBER: Remember why we are sharing the Peace of the Lord in the first place. Go back to that wonderful description
from Worship Wordbook. If it would be helpful and make worship more meaningful to you, memorize it or a shortened version of
it, e.g., “Peace is a sign of Baptismal unity, reconciliation, acceptance, and mission.” Recall that meaning whenever you share the
Peace with those around you in worship, and try to keep discussions on other matters for after the time of worship.
• RECONCILIATION. The second reason for sharing the Peace is reconciliation (Matthew 5:23-24). It is a sign that we are
at unity with one another and that there is no “bad blood” between us prior to receiving the Body and Blood of Christ for the
forgiveness of our sins in the Sacrament. Reconcile and reach out to share Peace with others, but especially with those who may
need to receive an extra special touch of Christ’s peace from you!
• RESPECT. While it may not be true for you, remember that for some an over-extended exchange of Peace is interrupting a
meaningful flow of worship. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Ask God to help you practice self-control, a fruit of the Spirit
(Galatians 5:23). Also remember that this moment of the sharing of Peace may mean a bit more to others than it does for you.
Allow for some extra time for the sharing of the Peace and practice patience, also a fruit of the Spirit. Love your neighbor as you love
yourself. As with all worship, remember the focus and object of worship is always God and never us. Be mindful of how He would
have you behave in His presence during this time of Peace sharing, and act accordingly.
With God’s help, I do believe that we can return to a sharing of the Peace that is worshipful, respectful, meaningful, and
joyful—an exchange of Peace that is pleasing to God. I promise to work with you to help make sure that is achieved. I do ask that
as you see me returning to the Altar from the sharing of the Peace, that you bring all conversations and exchanges of Peace to a
conclusion at that time. Please do NOT continue any conversations or exchanges of Peace once the Agnus Dei (“Lamb of God”)has
begun.
I thank you for your understanding and attention regarding this important matter. If you have further questions or comments
regarding the exchange of Peace here at St. Martin’s, I invite you to speak with me or with Caryann Kaatz, Chair of St. Martin’s
Worship Committee, at your convenience. And may the Peace of the Lord be always with you! – Pastor WaiteSt. Martin’s Pilots’ 36th Annual
