  The Gifts of God for the People of God
Article by The Rev. Mary Bea Sullivan
    Beginning with the Easter Vigil and for the foreseeable future, we will be returning to Communion in both
kinds—bread and wine. There has been a great yearning for Communion in this way. The clergy has wrestled
with how to meet the desire for consecrated wine and keeping our congregation safe in a time of pandemic. Like
so many aspects of our life together, we will try something new and temporarily partake in Communion in a
different way. During the service, there will be a common cup on the altar, symbolic of the unity we have in
Christ, and for those who so desire, wine in small cups will be available. Communion in one kind—bread only is
a perfectly acceptable way to receive the sacrament if that is your choice.
    Drinking from a common cup is a vivid enactment of our unity and equality in Christ. I take our Eucharistic
practice seriously and look forward to the day when we return to our traditional forms. I have concerns about
departing from this usual form of the ritual shape of the Eucharist—that it may emphasize an individualism that
is counter to Jesus’ message of our shared life in him; that there has been a link drawn to individualized cups in
the 19th century and racism. We know that using silver chalices and properly wiping the cup seems to largely
reduce the risk of most infections. We simply don’t know enough yet about the safety of returning to this practice
now.
    And yet, there is the pastoral concern that at a time when people are hurting greatly, the inability to partake
fully in the Eucharist is another source of pain. Is it too great of a stretch to consider Jesus’ willingness to heal on
the Sabbath as a model for our willingness to stretch the bounds of our beloved tradition in the face of
unprecedented challenges?
    In the early church, when persons were unable to attend church in person, acolytes were sent to bring
consecrated bread and wine to those at home, sometimes at great peril. This is a testimony to our heritage of
resiliently finding ways to share Communion. Our current version of this practice is the ministry of Lay
Eucharistic Visitors. Given the reduced rate of transmission of the Covid-19 virus, and the increased rate of those
who are vaccinated in our community, we will revitalize this ministry of taking Communion to those at home.
 The Rev. Charles Youngson cyoungson@allsaintsbhm.org and the Pastoral Care Leadership Team will be leading
this effort over the next few months.
    In the days and months and years ahead, we will reflect upon, and adapt liturgical choices we have made in
the midst of this pandemic. I take comfort in knowing God’s grace is bigger than any missteps we may make. I
take comfort in knowing that we are called to the table by Christ. We, like the Israelites who found God beyond
the walls of the temple during the time of the Babylonian exile, are experiencing an expansive understanding of
altar and Communion. I give thanks that however we may partake in the Gifts of God for the People of God, we
take them in remembrance that Christ died for us, and feed on him in our hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.

STEWARDSHIP REPORT:
From Interim Rector, The Rev. Mary Bea Sullivan

   Your generous response to the “Sing to the Lord a New Song” Stewardship Campaign committed $986,295
to support the mission and ministries of our parish. What a beautiful testament to our life together, even in
the midst of pandemic! For context, in 2020, we collected $978,076 in pledges. Please see the 2021 breakdown
in the chart below.
   The Finance Committee has approved a parish budget of $1,492,754 in expenses and total revenue of
$1,379,721. If there is a shortfall this year, it will be made up by accessing net revenues from 2020 of
$122,087, applying for another round of PPP funding, and if necessary, accessing designated accounts.
   Additionally, Stewardship Chair Roger Ball, Alexa McElroy, and I have approached some parishioners to
request a supplemental pledge this year as “Torchbearers” to bridge the gap as we pass the torch from
Glenda’s successful, long-term tenure, to your next rector. The response has been positive. To date, more than
$75,000 has been raised. All of the parish is invited to participate in this endeavor. You may simply contact
Alison James at finance@allsaintsbhm.org. Torchbearer pledges will be identified as a separate line-item in
the budget that will be in the parish profile for the rector search—an outward sign of this community’s love
and support of their church.
   The 2021 Budget will be available on the website after the March 15th vestry meeting.
   Again, the vestry, stewardship team, clergy, staff, and I thank you for not only your financial support this
past year, but also your prayers and involvement and encouragement. All Saints is a vibrant community of
followers in the way of Jesus.
   God’s peace,
      Mary Bea+

WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES FOR ALL SAINTS IN 2021?
A report on Vestry Goals from Vestry Commissioners Adam Edwards (Christian Formation),
Whit Bird (Parish Administration), Reynolds Harper (Parish Life), and Beau Strong (Evangelism
and Outreach)
    The Christian Formation Commission has four goals for 2021. As
we emerge from the past year of lockdowns and living much of our
lives together digitally, we encourage formation groups and leaders
to reach out to those individuals and families in our formation
groups with whom connections may been lost and reconnect with
those we have not seen or spoken with in a while.
    Second, we are asking together if we need to re-vision who we are
as groups heading into 2021. For some groups, perhaps not much has
changed. For others, perhaps a great deal has changed over the last
year. Participating together as a parish in our Lenten series, "What is
the Spirit Saying to the Church?", is an example of how we are
listening this year through formation about how we need to stay the
same in formation and also how we may need to change.
    Third, the Christian Formation Commission is looking for ways to
engage with groups who we may have been less involved with in
some ways in the past couple of years. For example, with the
assistance of vestry member Debbie Mashburn, are actively
coordinating with our various music groups to ensure their needs are
met as we begin to transition into more in-person activity with music
included. Additionally, vestry member Susan Ponder will help us
focus on engagement with our seasoned saints to learn how we can
better support formation activities for them. As the commissioner for
2021 for the Christian Formation Commission, my personal goal is to
ensure I maintain the legacy of active and engaged leadership of the
commission that has preceded me and leave the vestry at the end of
the year with vibrant, parish-wide formation opportunities for
everyone. - Adam Edwards

                          Lent in the Atria
                                           We have many beautiful works in atrium during
                                        the season of Lent to help the children process the
                                        physical life of Christ and delve into the Pascal
                                        Mystery.
                                           For example, children learn about and identify
                                        buildings and elements of the City of Jerusalem. We
                                        use wheat seeds, planted at different times, and a
                                        dried stalk of wheat, so that children can ponder
                                        the words from John 12:24, "Unless a grain of wheat
                                        falls to the earth and dies, it remains just a grain of
                                        wheat, but if it dies, it bears much fruit."
                                           Children set the Prayer Table for Lent and
                                        choose prayer cards. In the top photo, the child
                                        chose Psalm 23, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall
                                        not want.” When asked to interpret, the child
                                        responded, “Jesus loves us and gives us everything
                                        we need.”
