CEMETERY STROLL! St. John's Church (Virginia)
Time for another cemetery tour! There's like 15 of them and I want to try and hit them all and share them with you guys! This is the oldest church in Richmond and therefore, the oldest cemetery. It's located in the Church Hill neighborhood, which is one neighborhood over from where I live. I live at the bottom of the hill.
The yard surrounding St. John’s church became Richmond’s first official burial ground when the church was constructed here in 1741. Richmond’s founder, William Byrd II, had donated the two highest lots in the city for its location on top of what is now Church Hill. As a part of the colony’s Anglican establishment, St. John’s was initially known as the Henrico parish church or the church on Richmond Hill, until renamed in the early nineteenth century.
Some members were buried underneath the church itself, while others found desirable spots close to the church walls. The earliest surviving marker in the yard dates from 1751. After Richmond became the state capitol in 1780, the yard began to fill at a quicker pace, and some white residents chose to be buried in family graveyards nearby. But St. John’s remained the burial ground of note, especially after the yard’s expansion in 1799, when the city consolidated this block by adding the lots fronting Broad Street and enclosed the whole with a brick wall. In the mid-nineteenth century, after over a thousand interments, burials at the full grounds slowed to nearly a stop.
The congregation remains an active Episcopal church today. Also, the church and grounds serve as an important tourist destination in Richmond, as the site of Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty, or give me death” speech in 1775 to the Second Virginia Convention, which was then debating whether the colony should join in the coming Revolutionary War. The Historic St. John’s Church Foundation helps preserve the site and runs its tours.

Celebration of Love
One of the things I love the most about being an Episcopalian is the deep sense of inclusivity I have felt since joining the church. Warm, welcoming and sincere, I have been in awe of the stunning ease with which stereotypes have been shattered for me time and time again. Our congregation is nothing if not diverse, being comprised of all ages, races, sexes and identities. And we all accept one another as children of God and even as chosen family members. But until very recently, a large component of our parish family was being denied certain rights that others of us take for granted.
Arizona had denied marriage rights to same-sex couples until October 17 of 2014. That day, a federal judge struck down Arizona's ban on gay marriage and cleared the way for legally recognized same-sex unions in the state. Several of our parishioners and even some of our clergy members, were finally able to wed. Our deacon Jefferson Bailey, married his partner Richard Steen on December 4, our outgoing treasurer Anne Bowen married her partner Chris Bondante on Dec 6, and on January 10 of this year, St. Andrew’s former rector Bob Williams married his partner Rick Baglione. All three couples have been together for over twenty years and are wonderful demonstrations of the love that is so fundamental to our faith.
This past February, on the day after Valentine’s Day, we held our first Celebration of Love” to honor the fact that everyone could now stand side-by-side in the bonds of marriage. Along with a dozen or so couples, I renewed my vows to my wonderful husband, and it felt so amazing to witness the outpouring of love from other couples, gay or straight, newly wed as well as those who had been together forever. After mass, we all celebrated with cake and champagne. Someone even wore her wedding dress! It truly was a triumphant occasion and victorious moment for marriage equality.

Silver Jubilee Celebration: Service
Sept. 19, 2009. A service at historic St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia, recognizes the end of a pastoral relationship between the Rt. Rev. Peter James Lee and the Diocese of Virginia.
Bishop Lee came to the Diocese from Chapel Hill, N.C. in 1984. Prior to becoming ordained, Bishop Lee was a U.S. Army intelligence officer and a reporter and copy editor in Memphis, Tenn., Pensacola, Fla. and Richmond, Va. He attended Duke Law School before entering Virginia Theological Seminary. Bishop Lee served at St. Johns Cathedral in Jacksonville, Fla., St. Johns Church at Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C. and the Chapel of the Cross in Chapel Hill. He has held numerous leadership roles in the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion, including his role as newly elected chair of the Church Pension Group and as chair of Friends of Canterbury Cathedral in the United States.
Bishop Lees 25 years of ministry have been marked by a gracious wisdom and an ability to help build the Churchs broad and welcoming center, said the Rt. Rev. Shannon S. Johnston, bishop coadjutor of Virginia. This is evident in the strength of our churches, our conference and retreat centers, the diocesan schools, and our clergy, who are marked by their diversity, both in their theological and liturgical dispositions, as well as in the breadth of their range of age and talents.
Bishop Lee will not retire but, beginning October 1, will continue his ministry in the Episcopal Church as interim dean of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, the largest Episcopal cathedral on the West Coast. He and his wife, Kristy, will move to San Francisco in the coming weeks. Bishop Johnston will succeed Bishop Lee and become the 13th bishop of Virginia on October 1.

St Johns History - 25 years of Making a Difference
St. John’s was founded by The Rev. Canon Ernest D. Sillers, affectionately known by all as Fr. Ern. When the doors opened on September 19, 1988, 270 Preschool through Eight Grade students arrived for their first day of school. A motorhome parked on the curb housed a temporary school office, while classes were held in modular classrooms powered by a gas generator. From these modest beginnings, St. John’s has grown to more than 550 students and gained a reputation for producing students who “do good and do well.” St. John’s is proud of the many accomplishments of the more than 2,000 alumni that have gone on to pursue incredible accomplishments.

Marriage Sermon from Pastor Schaeffer of St. John's Lutheran Church in Nazareth, PA
The Reverend David B. Schaeffer peacefully passed away surrounded by family and friends at the Roper Hospice Cottage in Mount Pleasant, SC, on Saturday, March 2, 2019.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John Leroy and Arlene Mae Schaeffer. David is survived by loving wife, Carol; brother, Roger (Sue); sons, John Benjamin (Casie), and David (Kendyll), and four grandchildren, Clara, Brielle, William, and Ruthie.
David graduated from Southern Lehigh High School (Class of 1967), and from Kutztown State University (Class of 1971) with a B.S. in both history and german. Three decades later, he received a distinguished alumni award from Kutztown University. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army as a private first class (SP4). David graduated from Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia, SC, and was ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) in 1977.
David was an exceptional pastor who in following his Savior, Jesus Christ, tirelessly provided pastoral services for the community. He served as a pastor in the ELCA for 40 years. David was the assistant pastor of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Nazareth, PA, from 1977-1982; pastor of Peace Tohickon Lutheran Church in Perkasie, PA, from 1982-1989; and senior pastor of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Nazareth, PA, from 1989-2017.
Among the thousands of his pastoral acts, David's officiating hundreds of funerals for people with no church affiliation stands out. He was frequently seen visiting the sick throughout the Lehigh Valley. He was an active supporter of the Nazareth Area Food Bank, served as president of the Board for Moravian Hall Square for 12 years, was an active member of the Rotary Club in Nazareth for more than 25 years, and was a lifelong member of the American Legion (Post 145). David was also an avid tennis player, frequently attempted golf, and enjoyed traveling abroad.
Most notably, David was the leader of St. John's Lutheran Church, where he encouraged his members to become better servants of Christ in the community. He will not only be dearly missed by his family and friends, but also by the countless people whose lives he touched.
David was an excellent preacher and his sermons were recognized as heart-felt, inspiring and meaningful to everyone listening. He began every sermon with this prayer by Theodore Parker Ferris: Heavenly Father, make us masters of ourselves so that we may become the servants of others. Take our minds and think through them; our lips and speak through them; our hearts and set them on Fire! Amen.

Trinity Episcopal Church - Michigan City, IN
Trinity Church is an Anglican parish in the Episcopal
Diocese of Northern Indiana. The church is a regional center of
traditional worship, drawing members from a five-county area of
Indiana and Michigan. Founded in 1834, Trinity Church is the oldest
continuous community of Christian worship in Northwest Indiana. The
Romanesque Revival style church was built in 1889. One of the original
features of the church that we continue to enjoy at Trinity Church is
the educational stained glass windows surrounding three sides of the
nave. The north windows display scenes from the New Testament and the
south contain the Old Testament illustrations while the large west
facing arch depicts the Baptism of Christ over the main entry.
The 60 years from about 1870 to 1930 were the high point for stained
glass in the U.S. Glass with bold, deep colors is typical of the 1880s
and 1890s, along with jewels, drapery glass, rippled glass and
opalescent glass. Opalescent glass is translucent, with variegated
colors resulting from internally refracted light. It features milky
colored streaks and shimmers similar to mother-of-pearl. All of these
features can be found in the windows of Trinity Church dating from
1889.
Services are video streamed LIVE on Sundays at 10 a.m., as well as additional
