!! 2020 SUMMER READ-A-THON !!
Our 2020 Friends of Darbonne Read-A-Thon will have a bit of a different format this year, with hopes that we’ll be able to celebrate together (with appropriate social distancing) at the end of the summer. The Read-A-Thon helps increase awareness of the Darbonne Community in Haiti and to raise funds for student scholarships.

Saturday, October 27th - our Rebuilding Together workday.
We have partnered with Rebuilding Together Dutchess to improve the home of an 89-year-old neighbor in Fishkill. We will do minor repairs on the home, such as installing grab bars and painting - essentially helping this person to age in place. The commitment is 8a to 4p, but we may be able to finish sooner, and Rebuilding Together has assigned us a project manager who will help us complete the project. We need people to commit and to sign up, and we are limited to 15 volunteers. You can sign up here: http://rebuildingtogether.civicore.com/volunteerapp/index.cfm?affiliate_id=3. If you can't help with the home repairs but want to help in another way, we need people to be on a food team. To volunteer to help with food, please email Deb Evans at evans1913@aol.com. Thanks to Deb for heading up this effort!

DAY OF PENTECOST
DAY OF PENTECOST
On Sunday, We Wear Red
This Sunday is the Day of Pentecost, a major feast of the church. In fact, Pentecost is often referred to as "the Birthday of the church" because it celebrates the moment the Holy Spirit, depicted as fire or a dove, descended upon the disciples and the Jewish diaspora living in Jerusalem. These folks spoke many different languages but the miracle of Pentecost is that the arrival of the Holy Spirit allowed them to hear and understand each other for the first time. I've read this passage from Acts many times, but the thing that strikes me on this reading is that this Holy Spirit was poured out on and available to everyone: men, women, sons, daughters, young, old, slaves, and free. Note that in El Greco's depiction of Pentecost, the flame of the Holy Spirit rests on the heads of all these different types of people. This is the church! This is our church, too. And so our custom is to wear red on the Day of Pentecost a reminder that we, too, have received the gift of the Holy Spirit as members of Christ's church. Please don your finest reds this Sunday in celebration of this great feast!
Another note is that my first Sunday at St. Nick's was Pentecost 2017. And so this is a type of anniversary celebration for us as well. I remember that first sermon was about speaking different languages and understanding each other. I worried that my southern dialect wouldn't translate, but I reckon it's worked out alright. Thank you for hearing and understanding me and thanks be to God for bringing me here to be your rector. The Holy Spirit is still alive and well here in our church, and I am eager to see where it takes us next.
With love and Holy Spirit fire,
Mother Leigh

- Special Announcement -
It is with great joy that we announce today the calling of our new Rector Rev Leigh Ellen Hall. Leigh is currently Associate Rector at St Paul’s Church in Albany, Georgia. Upon her arrival on June 1, she will become the second Rector in our parish’s history. Her calling was made in a unanimous vote of the Vestry, following a unanimous recommendation of the nine member Search Committee. We can’t wait for the entire congregation to get to know Leigh and concur with our conviction that our parish will flourish under our new Rector. As we said to the congregation when we started this transition last May- the Church of St Nicholas on the Hudson has a bright future!
Leigh is a native of Georgia who graduated from the University of Georgia and Virginia Theological Seminary. She was ordained in 2009 and has served in various clergy positions since then focusing on pastoral care and educational ministries. Leigh will be communicating directly with the congregation in the days (and years!) to come but we wanted to share an item that she included in her background about the future of the Church-
I am acknowledging that our church is changing and that we must be more intentional about growing and sustaining our churches. We can’t wait and see if they will come; we have to make our churches more attractive. To me that means preaching sermons that are more relevant to our world today, offering formation opportunities that teach about Christ, the church and our place in it by engaging in spiritual outreach to those in need, and by deepening our spirituality and the spirituality of those we serve in our parishes. This deep, meaningful connection is essential, I believe, to preparing for the Church of the future.
We also have recordings of a few sermons that Leigh has delivered in recent months and have posted those audio files on our website and on Facebook.
St Nicholas has grown much over the past months of transition. The ramp, siding, windows, lights, plaster and paint are important, as will be the coming changes in landscaping. We have nested well. We are now ready to open our parish family to a new Rector. We are a parish that has overtly challenged one another to look for and to believe in an irrationally bright future! We did so in committing to remain a congregation twelve years ago, and in becoming, three years ago, the first newly incorporated full parish of the diocese in over thirty years, and again last year in committing to a capital campaign to restore our building. We will continue to face challenges both spiritually and in other areas necessary to sustaining our parish. But today- loudly and clearly- the Vestry, the Search Committee and our new Rector are of one voice that we will look to a joyful future through the parish of St Nicholas on the Hudson.
It is essential that this joyful note include two expressions of gratitude. Our Search Committee worked tirelessly to find a person of the right energy, spirituality and style. They literally posted the position around the globe. They met with Leigh over the Christmas holidays and then traveled to Albany Georgia to hear her preach and to spend more time getting to know her. Stacey Mesler chaired a large group that was incredibly generous with their time and talents. They detailed every interaction with each candidate, and in the end spoke with one voice of recommendation. We are very grateful for their participation in this journey. In addition to Stacey, the members of the Search Committee were Christine Ackerly, Sarah Brannen, Paul Conrad, Rick Levitt, Jack Parry, Lee Ann Pomplas, Alex Reese, and Michelle Robbins. Thank You all.
Finally, we will say thank you and good-bye this Sunday to Peter Sipple. Peter and Margaret leave on a long planned vacation next week, so this will be an abrupt end to his tenure here. Peter’s wise advice and pastoral care for the Vestry and parish members has sustained us on our path. He remains a friend to the parish and we suspect his counsel will continue to be a resource to Leigh as she begins her first tenure as a parish rector. We hope you can join us this Sunday to thank Peter.
