“Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains only a single
grain; but if it dies it yields a rich harvest.” (John 12:24)
Our hearts are lifted by the beauty of the flowers of spring after a long
winter. But have you ever given thought to what is necessary for those
flowers to grace our lives? They must follow a cycle from seed to
seedling, from mature plant to flower, to seed once more. Is the seed still
visible once the seedling lifts its head above ground? No, it has died to its
old way of being and transformed into something new.
How difficult is it for us to recognize and accept this pattern in our own
lives? Letting go is so hard to do! Ronald Rolheiser in his book, The
Holy Longing, states that the scripture verse written above defines the
paschal (Easter) mystery. He says, “in order to come to fuller life and
spirit we must constantly be letting go of present life and spirit. (Pg.
146).”
Calendar ....................................... p. 15
He goes on to say that there are five distinctive moments within the
Easter cycle. These are five moments which we encounter daily
throughout our life. They are “Good Friday, Easter Sunday, the forty
days leading up to the Ascension, the Ascension, and Pentecost.” He
explains them as follows:
Important Dates to Remember
June 13-14 ........ Nursery School Yard Sale
1. Good Friday . . . “the loss of life-real death”
2. Easter Sunday . . . “the reception of new life”
3. The Forty Days . . . “a time for readjustment to the new and for
grieving the old”
4. Ascension . . . “letting go of the old and letting it bless you, the
refusal to cling”
5. Pentecost . . . “the reception of new spirit for the new life that one
is already living”
June 15................................... Father’s Day
June 29 ................ Collection for Outreach
We all try to cling onto the old and familiar. However, in doing so we
miss out on the beauty and joy of the current moment. As a result, a great
deal of our time is spent feeling sad or bitter. The grain remains a grain!
2
As you try to relax and seek new energy this summer, remember to
“let go.” Don’t live in the past, regretting what you failed to do or
what has come and gone. Live in the now and give thanks and praise.
Let the opportunities and challenges of today become blessings. Let
the grain go, let it become a field of joy, so it may yield a rich harvest
of energy, memories and new life!
In Christ,

Behind The Scenes With Will Beebe: Betwixt and Between.
This month I find that activities behind the scenes
are in between things. We have the bell back up.
The parking lot has yet to be scheduled. The
elevator is fixed. The pole lights are in but the
lanterns are not, we don’t need as much heat in the
church, but the AC is not yet switched over. And the
list goes on.
So, what is going on?
The Landscaping Committee has been active. I do
not do landscaping, but here are a few items I have
found out from them.
The rip up of the parking lot for the septic system
caused both an opportunity and a challenge for the
landscapers. What to put in? How to water them?
Etc. To make matters worse, when would the lot be
paved, thus creating definite edges and boundaries?
Next came the question of what to do with the space
shown below, covered with loam:
The first thing to do was to provide retaining walls
for the French Drains. This was necessary, not only
due to the rip out of many during parking lot work,
but also due to the fact that after 30 years, most were
totally rotten. Here is the completed work
The Landscaping Committee has decided on what to
plant here, but needed a way to irrigate them. A new
spigot needed to be added, and this spigot had to go
underground, for the safety of the SPNS students.
5
Here is that spigot, completed:
And trees planted:
As I write this, progress is being made by the
Landscaping Committee. Bushes have been planted:
However, we are still waiting for the lanterns for the
pole lights:
Hopefully, all these projects, including the top mix
on the Parking Lot, will be completed soon.

Where have you been?
We have missed you!
Not nourishing our spiritual lives can
become a habit.
Don’t let this happen to you!

Introducing a new monthly column,
Ritual, Reason and Why
In the Name of the Father...
Christian prayer is modeled after the prayer of
Jesus. Like his, it should come from the heart. When
he prayed Jesus used words and signs and
sometimes cries, as expressions of his heart. And so
do we when we pray; our hearts too look for an
outward voice.
The words and signs that Jesus used when he prayed
often came from his own Jewish tradition, from
what he learned in his family and from others. As
for ourselves, we turn to our Christian tradition for
guidance in prayer. We believe it is a tradition
inspired by the Holy Spirit, and it is also an
outgrowth of the Jewish tradition of prayer that
nourished Jesus himself.
The Christian tradition of prayer has a wisdom all
its own, with many different forms and expressions.
Some basic prayers of our Christian tradition,
however, have a special place. The Sign of the Cross
is one example.
The Sign of the Cross is an important part of
personal and public prayer. It originated in the
earliest days of Christianity and so it is centuries
old. It is the first sign made on us at Baptism and the
last sign made as we pass to our future life. It's a
vital part of liturgical prayer and the sacraments.
With the Sign of the Cross we begin and end our
prayers.
We call it a blessing. We say we "bless ourselves."
Tracing with our hand the figure of the cross on our
forehead, our breast, our shoulders, we bless
ourselves: In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Sign of the Cross expresses blessing. It
symbolizes God blessing us, God embracing us with
blessings. And in this same sign we express our
belief in God from whom all our blessings flow. In
the Sign of the Cross we embrace our good God
with mind and heart and all of our strength.
God blesses. The Jewish scriptures describe God as,
above all, the One who blesses. God blessed Noah
and saved the world from the flood. God blessed
Abraham and Sara with blessings more than the
stars in the sky. God blessed the Jewish people,
redeeming them from the slavery of Egypt. Life
itself and all creation are God's gifts.
And so the Jewish tradition of prayer always
approaches God as One who blesses. "I will bless
the Lord at all times," the psalmist prays. As we are
blessed by God, so we bless the Lord in return.
The Christian tradition of prayer follows this same
pattern, but in addition it praises the One who
blesses for another incomparable blessing: the
blessing of Jesus Christ. "Blessed be God, the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has bestowed
on us in Christ every spiritual blessing." ( Eph ,3 )
He is "the Word who made the universe, the Savior
sent to redeem us." In Jesus Christ God appears as
our Friend and Brother. With the Father he sends the
Holy Spirit upon us "to complete his work on earth
and bring us the fullness of grace." In Jesus, God
has revealed to us the source of all blessings.
When we bless ourselves with the Sign of the Cross
we remember the One who blesses us: the triune
God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
With the Sign of the Cross we recall in particular the
blessing of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus
Christ. We trace a cross on ourselves, the cross of
Jesus. His death on the Cross was an outpouring of
love for us. The Sign of the Cross is a reminder of
his love, a love found not only in the past, but here
and now, as we make this sign upon ourselves; for
8
the love of Jesus Christ abides forever.
Prayer Group Announcement
The Sign of the Cross is a wonderful daily
expression of our relationship with God. God is the
One who blesses. This prayer reminds us that each
day, in good times and bad, in danger and sorrow,
God's care and blessings are never far from us.
The Prayer Group is collecting funds to help provide
scholarships for students at the Bishop Tharp
Institute in Haiti. We would be very pleased if
anyone in the Parish would like to join us. For those
of you who are not acquainted with this school, it is
a two year community college which awards degrees
in business management and computer support
technology. 70% of its graduates are successfully
employed in the local economy working in skilled
professions related to their academic programs. 5%
establish successful local businesses and support the
economic development of the region. Another 5%
transfer successfully to four year universities. We
feel very drawn to help this institution continue
with the teaching that benefits so many. A full year
scholarship costs $500. Anyone wishing to join us
in this endeavor should write out a check to St.
Peter's, put "for Bishop Tharp" on the memo line,
and put it an the collection plate on Sunday. Anyone with questions can call Mary Beebe at
508-428-4575.
Tracing this holy sign on our forehead, our hearts
and our shoulders, we remember we are blessed in
mind and heart and all our being. We can approach
God with confidence through Jesus Christ whose
ever present love this holy sign recalls. "Come to
me," God says through this prayer, "do not be afraid.
Before you take one step, I reach to embrace you
with blessings in my hands."

Adult Forums
The Adult Forum is held every Sunday following
the 10 a.m. Holy Eucharist.
The Adult Forum is the Adult Education program
held every Sunday from September through May,
holidays excepted. Following the weekly 10 a.m.
Holy Eucharist, it begins about 11:30 in the Library
and concludes sometime after 12 noon, depending
on the topic.
More to the point the Adult Forum is a weekly
gathering of people in a space and at a time
designated for open and unstructured consideration,
discussion, and sharing on a variety of topics
relevant to the lives of those present. It is not a
formal Adult Christian Education course or Bible
Study; it is not intended to prepare candidates for
the Church’s sacraments. There is no curriculum,
no content intended for dissemination, and no
instrument of evaluation. There are no preestablished truths or expectations of doctrinal
conformity. Its leader’s purpose is to facilitate the
discussion in which all present are invited to
participate. It is what its name implies: An Adult
Forum.
The range of topics considered at the Adult Forums
is expanding this year and more gatherings will
have outside speakers, especially from
organizations and programs supported through the
Outreach Committee. Plans have now been
completed for every Sunday through June.
The schedule for the Adult Forums for the month of
June:
June 1: This I Believe – Jenn McDevitt
June 8: This I Believe – Sara Gelven
I welcome your comments, concerns, and
suggestions for future Adult Forum programs as we
end the current program year and begin looking
forward to our 2014-2015 season.
Detailed schedules and information on the Adult
Forums are available throughout the year in Cross
Keys, the eBulletin and Sunday Bulletin, and on the
Church’s website. Suggestions for topics are invited
and always welcome.

Associate Clergy
Holy Baptism
The Book of Common Prayer establishes five
occasions when Holy Baptism is most
appropriately administered at the main Celebration
of the Holy Eucharist in a given Parish. Our next
Baptismal Occasion will be The Day of Pentecost,
June 8, 2014.
Those wishing to have someone baptized on that
day should contact the Parish Office. The Prayers of the People Project
The Prayers of the People Project entered a new
phase this past fall with the introduction of
members of the worshipping congregation leading
the weekly petitions, intercessions, thanksgivings,
and memorials from their place in the pew rather
than from the lectern. The purpose is to enhance
this part of our weekly Sunday Holy Eucharist by
making it more clearly the Prayers of the People. In
addition, the Forms we are using, whether from the
Book of Common Prayer or ones specially written
for an occasion or liturgical season, include
opportunities for all the members of the
10
congregation to add their own concerns or
celebrations to those of the whole community.
Several parishioners have responded to my
invitation to become one of the Intercessors who
will fulfill this role, enough that I have been able to
assign one to each of the Sundays in the first half of
2014. More are welcome as we continue to expand
this element of our liturgical life. In time we hope
to have more than one or two worshippers leading
the Prayers of the People on any given Sunday.
There is a special need for Intercessors during the
summer months, including in July and August when
there is a 9:15 a.m. Eucharist at Crystal Lake and a
10 a.m. Eucharist at the Church. Please contact me
if you wish to be included in the next Intercessor
schedule that will be published in early June.
No special training is needed for this leadership
role. A flexible schedule will distribute the
responsibility throughout the year, and the Prayers
of the People for any given Sunday will be sent out
to the Intercessor well in advance of that date.
Everyone wishing to become an Intercessor is
invited to speak to me.
Many congregations today do not use the Prayers of
the People that come from a Prayer Book but create
their own to reflect the needs and concerns of its
parishioners. Intercessors will lead a portion of that
prayer from their places in the church.
Comments and suggestions made by members of
the congregation regarding this project are very
valuable and I encourage anyone wishing to share
their thoughts to contact me by email at
[email protected], or by phone at
508-432-3483 or 860-391-3100.

Outreach Ministries
Summary Notes from the Meeting of
Tuesday, May 13th 2014
I.
The fourth meeting of OUTREACH
MINISTRIES began at 10:30 a.m. and
concluded at 12 noon. In attendance
were interested persons from the
congregation and Diane Casey Lee from
the Cape Cod Council of Churches. Fr.
Russ Allen, Associate Clergy, facilitated
the discussion.
II. Fr. Russ reported on his conversation with
the Parish Treasurer regarding the
financial aspects of Outreach Ministries.
She will supply reports on any funds
received or disbursed under this heading
from whatever source and whatever
purpose. Currently there is a budget
line-item of $3,000 for Outreach that
can be allocated at the request of
Outreach Ministries, provided the
monies are available. Designated
contributions will be distributed as
received.
III. The concept of a “Fifth Sunday Collection”
for designated programs to be sponsored
by Outreach Ministries was supported.
The first will be on the last Sunday of
June and the recipient will be the Cape
Cod Council of Churches. This
approach must still be presented to the
Vestry for its approval by its liaison to
Outreach Ministries Don Sherlock.
Announcements will be made in Cross
Keys, the eBulletin and Sunday
Bulletin, and the Website. Special
envelopes will be available for this
purpose. Diane Casey Lee will be
speaking about the work of the Council
11
as the sermon on that Sunday. The
remaining Fifth Sundays in the current
year happen in August and November, at
which time contributions for a different
program will be solicited.
IV. Diane Casey Lee made a presentation on the
work of the Cape Cod Council of
Churches, its sponsored programs and
activities, and the role of member
churches. The group was especially
responsive to the trained volunteer handon opportunities the Council offers. Pat
Sherlock will work with Fr. Russ to
explore and facilitate the process for St.
Peter’s to become a member
congregation.
V. Mary Beebe reported that the Prayer Group
will again be soliciting support for one or
more scholarships for students at the
Bishop Tharp Institute in Haiti. And
based on her attendance at a recent
Episcopal City Mission meeting she
discussed the concept of St. Peter’s
offering small non-interest loans to help
needy persons seeking to gain financial
stability. She will discuss this with David
Bernard.
VI. NEXT MEETING: Tuesday June 10th 2014
at 10:30 a.m. in the Library.
OPEN TO ALL INTERESTED
MEMBERS OF THE
CONGREGATION.
Prepared by Fr. Russ Allen
Fifth Sunday Collections in Support of
Outreach Ministries.
Outreach Ministries is initiating a new opportunity
for the members of the congregation to give
financially to some of the external programs and
projects previously supported by the Outreach
Committee and funded through the Summer Garden
Party. Called “Fifth Sunday Collections,” these
special foci will occur in the three or four months a
year that have five Sundays. Special envelopes will
be available for the use of those wishing to make
contributions to the program designated by Outreach
Ministries for that Fifth Sunday, and prayers will be
offered during the Holy Eucharist for its work,
workers, and beneficiaries. Information on the
activities carried out by the selected program will be
available and in some instances a representative will
preach at the main Sunday Eucharist, speak at the
Adult Forum, or be available at the Coffee Hour.
Here is what you need to know about the first
FIFTH SUNDAY COLLECTION FOR
OUTREACH MINISTRIES
DATE: Sunday June 29, 2014
PROGRAM: Cape Cod Council of Churches
SPEAKER: Diane Casey Lee, Executive Director
Additional months having fifth Sundays in 2014 are

Six Ways to Honor your Dad on
Father’s Day
by Emily Dockery
1. Game Day Goodies: Does your dad have a
favorite sports team? You may not have the money
to buy tickets so dad can see them play in person;
however, you can still give him a great gift. Instead
of paying for tickets, spring for some of his favorite
game-day foods. Set up a table full of goodies in
front of the TV and make your dad more
comfortable than if he had box seats. He won't
have to fight the crowds or yell to get the attention
of the hot dog vendor. If you have any pennants or
team decor, set them out to create a festive mood.
While you're at it, join dad for the game. Even
though you may not be a sports nut, you'll be
spending time with your dad and giving him a great
present.
2. Breakfast of Champions: Not all fathers are
sports nuts, but most would be thrilled to wake up
to breakfast in bed. It may be an old standby, but
it's a good one. Even if you aren't Chef Boyardee or
Betty Crocker you can still serve up this present.
Enlist some help in cooking a simple breakfast or
make a quick trip to McDonald's to pick up dad's
favorite fast-food grub. Either choice provides an
excellent way to wake up your dad. If your dad is
the on-the-go type, you can put a fun spin on this
idea. Treat him to breakfast at a restaurant with an
all-you-can-eat buffet. They are fairly inexpensive
and will satisfy both of your growling stomachs.
3. Memorable Memos : Making dad feel special
doesn't have to cost anything, nor does it have to
involve food. Grab a pen and a pad of paper, then
begin listing things you like and appreciate about
your dad. Write several notes telling Dad why you
admire him and why you are glad he's your dad.
You can include notes of encouragement and some
of your favorite Bible verses. Write as many as you
want. When you're done, hide the notes around the
house: in his briefcase, in his favorite chair, on the
bathroom mirror – anywhere where your dad will
find them. Let him discover your notes throughout
the day, or even through the entire week.
4. Walk & Talk: If your pockets jingle but are
missing dollar bills, you still have options. Invite
your dad to go for a run or a walk outside. Not only
will the exercise be good for you, but this will give
you a great chance to catch up with each other. It's
easy to get caught up in work and school schedules
and forget to spend time with each other. This is
also a great time to learn from your dad. He may
seem kind of ancient, but he was your age once.
Though it may feel like he has been nothing but a
dad for eons, he has learned a thing or two along
the way. In exchange for some quality time, your
dad may just provide you with some insight on
some of those things that have you puzzled. Use
this time to learn from each other.
5. A Helping Hand: If neither you nor your dad like
the great outdoors, try spending some quality time
inside. Offer to help him with a project. Whether
it's one he's been working on for ages, one he
started yesterday, or one he's been putting off for
weeks, he could probably use another pair of
hands. Even if you aren't fond of the current task,
it's a way to let your dad know you care about him.
6. Art Appreciate: It's great to lend a helping hand,
but you can use your hands for several other things.
Are you an aspiring musician or writer? Are you
the artist of your family? Could you build a model
of the Brooklyn Bridge out of Popsicle sticks? Use
your talents to create a gift for your dad.Write him
a song, poem, or story. Draw, paint, or sculpt him a
piece of art. Whether it's about him or for him, you
can show your appreciation for your dad and do
something you love at the same time.
These are just a few ideas to get you started. You can
try some or all of them. You can tweak them to fit your
dad's personality. In any case, once you get your
creative juices flowing, there are no limits to how you
can honor dad on his day.
