Tidings has
Gone Green!
We print on
recycled paper.
Tequesta, FL
Dear Friends,
John Hanlon, who wrote thousands of human interest columns, articles and Sunday features for the Providence Journal
over a career spanning several decades, created a book which was
composed of his favorite pieces from the many he had written.
He entitled it, Is that all you write…one story a day?
Those who have done much creative writing will smile
knowingly at that title. Having to come up with something clever each day, Hanlon must have been on constant watch for ideas. No one around him, no item of
interest, must have been safe from his watchful eye. Any humorous or touching
occurrence could wind up in the pages of the Journal for all the world to read.
Thinking of this, I realize that it is no wonder that my friends tend to become cautious around me at parties. Their behavior could very easily become a source of
material for my next sermon or Tidings article. In fact, some members here are
likely breathing a sigh of relief as my retirement nears. They might reason that, as
my time here is short, they will have avoided being the subject of my commentary.
However, I may be planning to write a book in retirement, and I have been taking
notes for these many years!
Actually, the creative process has been one of my great joys during our
years together here. With God’s guidance, we have created programs, plans,
vision, goals, atmosphere and so much more. I have had the chance to create spoken and written presentations. Many of us have enjoyed taking to the stage on numerous occasions. I know how much I will miss such opportunities. Thus, to
overcome my sense of loss, I will likely turn to endeavors such as writing or painting to continue to reap the joys of creative and purposeful living.
How, exactly, I will go about that process is not totally clear at this point.
If I were to write, what would I write? It has been said that one should begin with
writing about what one knows. I do know quite a bit about parish ministry and
this parish. But, where would I begin and what would be my focus? Would
writer’s block cause me to give up the whole idea?
Ernest Hemingway wrote about the problem of writer’s block in A Moveable Feast: “Sometimes when I was starting a new story and I could not get it going, I would sit in front of the fire and squeeze the peel of the little oranges into the
edge of the flame and watch the sputter of blue that they made. I would stand and
look over the roofs of Paris and think, ‘Do not worry. You have always written
before and you will write now. All you have to do is write one true sentence.
Write the truest statement that you know.’”
Look for a book that begins, “There is a beautiful Episcopal Church in a
seaside community of south Florida which is made up of the most extraordinary
and loving people.”
Love,
Ti d i n g s

He is Risen, Indeed! It was a full house on Easter Sunday at Good
Shepherd. We held three worship services, each with its own special
attributes that bring meaning and joy to the day. From songbirds gliding
overhead at the sunrise service in the outdoor chapel, to beautiful
reflected light on the altar early in the morning, to a chorus of voices
proclaiming “Alleluia”, it was a blessed day. Thank you to the many
hands that came together to make it all work so beautifully.

VESTRY HIGHLIGHTS
Vestry Highlights from the Vestry Meeting, Wednesday, April 15, 2015
· The Vestry met in the Robert S. Taylor library at 7:30 p.m. The Rector opened the meeting with a prayer. The minutes for the March Vestry meeting were approved.
· Treasurer Mike Greene presented the financials for March 2015, which were approved by Vestry. Mike noted
that March was a good month with expenses under budget by approximately $11,000 however, we still ended
March with a deficit of over $21,000 in pledge offerings. Mike also requested that the final amount raised through
Artie’s Party, just under $30,000, be moved to the operating budget, as usual.
· Bob Taylor gave an overview of the School’s Financial report for February 2015, reporting that the school is on
track for the year with enrollment above the budgeted amount for this year. Also, there will be no sixth grade for
the 2015/16 year, but the option to reestablish that grade will remain open for coming years, based on enrollment.
· Archdeacon Thomas Bruttell, Diocesan Archdeacon for Deployment, was introduced to discuss the transition
process for Good Shepherd’s search for a Rector after Bob Taylor’s retirement. Archdeacon Bruttell explained that
there is a tested and detailed plan for this process and he discussed the role of Vestry in determining a suitable Interim Rector who will guide our parish family, for approximately the next 18 months, through the various stages of
the search. As it stands, Vestry expects to find an Interim based on Diocesan suggestions on or about August 1,
2015. Archdeacon Bruttell also highlighted the importance of regular communication with the parish throughout
the process. Vestry recognized the need for serious consideration of all aspects of the search, never forgetting to
allow the Holy Spirit to help guide us as we take a close look at our evolving parish family and what our hopes and
expectations are for the future. Involvement of every member of the parish is important to this process. Detailed
planning for the search will be the main focus of the Vestry Retreat scheduled for mid-May.
· Mike Howard reported on facility repairs, inspections and upcoming projects, including a partial fencing screen in
the labyrinth area to improve aesthetics and mitigate noise from the air conditioning units.
· Bob Taylor reported on the Outreach and Mission Committee which will now be overseen by Terry McFarland and
includes a number of enthusiastic new members. The committee will meet regularly on the first Wednesday of
each month at 6:30 p.m. in the library. Family Promise plans were discussed by Terry McFarland for the coming
week.
· Bob Taylor reported on the Lenten Heifer Project to help reduce child mortality. Funds collected to date totaled
$11,205.50, enough for two full arks and additional animal groups to go with them.
· Closed with our Parish Prayer.

OUTREACH AND MISSION COLLECTION FOR
HEALTHY MOTHERS / HEALTHY BABIES
THROUGHOUT MAY
In an effort to have an impact toward achieving the Millennium Development Goal of Reducing Child Mortality, the Outreach Committee is sponsoring a collection during the month of May to benefit the Healthy
Mothers/Healthy Babies (HMHB) Coalition of Palm Beach County. This is a countywide organization which
functions to work toward its mission of decreasing infant mortality and increasing the number of full-term,
full weight babies. Our collection at Good Shepherd will benefit the Emergency Pantry of HMHB and will
be held during the month of May, 2015. Look for the unmistakable collection boxes in the Narthex!
Donated items sought include:
- Onesies (size preemie thru 9 months in neutral colors--white, yellow, green)
- Diapers (size preemie, size 1 and size 5 are most needed)
- Baby wipes
- Baby blankets, bibs or burp cloths in neutral colors
-$10 Publix Gift Cards—for the Emergency Pantry of HMHB used to purchase necessities such as: infant
formula, baby food (including oatmeal and rice cereal), baby soap/shampoo, baby laundry detergent, diaper cream and other non-perishable foods for the mother's nutrition needs. Please note that all donated
items must be new and still in original packaging.
DIRECT DONATION
You may arrange for regular donations to
Good Shepherd through an agreement with
your bank to directly deposit funds to Good
Shepherd. This method of giving costs us
only pennies compared to credit card processing. We still gladly accept credit card payments but we would like to make you aware
of this other option. Please contact Merike
Seely for an authorization form, or if you
have any questions.
Important Request
If you make a stock gift to the church for
memorial gifts, for endowment, or for your
pledge, please let the clergy know about it.
We are unable to identify the source of
such gifts unless you have told us. We
want to properly recognize and allocate
your gift.
Is your pledge current? Quarterly statements
went out in April. If you didn’t receive yours,
please call Merike Seely in the office and she
will email or mail it to you right away! Thanks
for keeping your pledge current.
