All Saints’ ChurchWhere Christ’s love is experienced and sharedDear Parishioners,Reflecting on the last year there is one word that keeps coming to mind – change. Every day it is happeningat multiple levels simultaneously - globally, nationally, in our state, in our communities, within our parish,in our families and yes, even to us individually. Change - it is the one constant in our human existence.The question we all must grapple with is how we recognize it, and how we should respond.I find myself grappling with such questions a lot more these days than I would like, especially when I amat a loss to understand what is happening. I am left feeling untethered from familiar patterns of life andinteraction with others, and in the worst of situations I become anxious and uneasy.This may be true for you as well, as we seek to navigate through the unfamiliar landscape of a globalpandemic and at the same time are witness to unsettling discord at the national, state, and even local levels.Our own All Saints’ community is not exempt from change. This year we experienced change in theretirement of our Rector and the uncertainty of whom her successor will be. We have mourned the passingof long-time stalwarts of our parish community. Perhaps most disappointing to many, we have not beenable to find weekly comfort in our familiar in-person communal worship.One of the benefits of my recently concluded four-year journey in the Education for Ministry programoffered at All Saints’, was the opportunity to become immersed in the scripture of the Old and NewTestaments, in addition to more than two millennia of Christian history and theology. It won’t surpriseanyone that through all of these writings, going back thousands of years, the one constant in all thecommunities described throughout scripture is change – sometimes subtle, more often dramatic, if notcatastrophic for the people who were impacted. For those affected by dramatic change, the one abidingconstant more compelling than change, was their faith in God, and for the last two millennia the promise ofeternal life made manifest by Jesus Christ.As much as I long for what is familiar, comfortable, and constant in my own life, it is when I am pressed tolook at life from a new perspective in unfamiliar territory that I rediscover the familiar. When I need to“clear my head” I often will go outside. I walk in the woods, sit by a stream, gaze at distant hills, watch asunset, or take in the stars at night. Sometimes I just sit on a bench and watch people in their comings andgoings.When I can do this, I rediscover the familiar – the wonder of God’s creation - the natural world, the vastnessof the heavens, and capacity for humans to love and support one another. For many years I believed thatthe only place I could experience God was in church, and there have been moments when such was thecase.
Despite not being able to gather together for in-person worship much of the last year, and again presently,I feel blessed nonetheless that there are still ways to experience God’s presence in our world. I feel blessedto be a part of the All Saints’ community where parishioners are committed to loving our neighbors in thewider community.The information contained in this Annual Report reflects that All Saints’ is indeed a beloved community ofpeople who step forward into the ever-changing world, strengthened by their faith in God. You sustain ourchurch by participating in the ministries that make our church experience welcoming to all, beautiful, andsacred. With equal passion you reach out into the community, to address the needs and lift the burdens ofour neighbors.Together you are all a source of inspiration for me as your Senior Warden, as I watch and learn about all ofyour remarkable acts of faith and devotion to the work God calls you to do. Thank you for all you havedone, and continue to do, to make All Saints’ Church the very special community of faith that we are.Keep the faith and embrace the change - God hasn’t gone anywhere; He is always right beside us.With gratitude,Senior Warden

VESTRY NOMINATIONS 2022Ann Conway- As a “Cradle Episcopalian,” I have been an active church member my entirelife.

I have recently rediscovered choral singing, and enjoy singing with MonadnockChorus and Music on Norway Pond, where I am the current President. I am busy learning tobe a New England gardener, and Chris and I spend as much time outdoors as possible in ourbeautiful Monadnock Region with all it has to offer. We enjoying sailing, kayaking, andhiking with our dogs. Now that we are retired and full-time Peterborough residents, we arevery pleased to call All Saints’ home.Joan Cunningham joined ASC in 2011 after moving here with her family from Austin,Texas, and was received into the Episcopal Church in 2012.

STEWARDSHIP OF OUR PARISH2021 Annual Report of the Vestry -Despite numerous and unusual challenges, vestrymembers, led by Senior Warden, Jack Calhoun; Junior Warden, Greg Naudascher; and Treasurer,David Drinkwater, believe that we have served the parish well this year, that the parish is wellpositioned for the near future, and that we have begun addressing the longer-term well-being ofthe parish.We began the year besieged by COVID, requiring remote and recorded services. Thanks to thegenerosity and commitment of parishioners and careful financial management by all departmentswe remain in good spirits and in good financial shape. In addition, our 45,000 PaycheckProtection Program loan, initiated prudently by the Reverend Jamie Hamilton and Treasurer DavidDrinkwater, was forgiven. We have ended the year covering our operating expenses, with a littlebit left in our recent capital campaign, and with an endowment for community suppers.At the start of the year, planning the renovation of the Reynolds Hall kitchen was off to a goodbeginning, and Greg Naudascher led vestry members in cleaning and painting the entry andbathrooms of Reynolds Hall. Due to issues about building codes, plans for the renovationcontinued slowly throughout the year.At the 2021 Annual Meeting, which was held via Zoom, four new members joined the Vestry:Petra Longman, Nina Pollock, Sue Tavernier, and Chris Tourgee. New members for 2022 areready to be proposed to the parish at the 2022 Annual Meeting.Because of the importance of ministries in our parish life, specific ministries often joined ourregular monthly vestry meetings in order to inform us of their current activities and concerns andto help us understand how we could better support them. Examples include The MessengerMinistry, the Knitting Ministry, and the Outreach Ministry (focused mainly on the SerendipityShop and our support of Avenue A). We on the vestry expressed our hearty appreciation for whatmembers do in these ministries.Our beautiful campus requires significant attention from the vestry, both for near-term regularmaintenance, such as lawn-mowing, and longer-term capital needs, such as new windows forReynolds Hall. We have begun to create plans for addressing these major capital expenses.At mid-year Jamie announced her retirement, and the vestry responded by creating a properfarewell celebration for her and by creating a committee to work with the Episcopal Diocese ofNew Hampshire to begin the lengthy process of finding a new priest to fit our parish. By the endof the year the Search Committee was established and the parish profile was written, which likelyshould be posted for candidates in January. In addition, the vestry worked with the many talentedordained priests of our parish in pursuit of serving pastoral needs.In September, the Vestry engaged in a morning-long retreat in order to identify challenges, threats,and opportunities related to our parish. Two major challenges are deferred maintenance and theneed for an Information Technology Ministry. An opportunity is to grow our communityengagement. A threat is COVID fatigue.
We on the vestry are dedicated to serving God and you. Please let us know how we can improve.Following the retirement of The Reverend Jamie Hamilton, the vestry appointed a SearchCommittee charged with presenting to the vestry a candidate to serve as our next rector. DavidJette and Kathryn Dodge were asked to serve as co-chairs of this new committee. Together withStephen DiCicco, Heidi Graff, Nina Pollock, Brian Ricaurte, Susan Shaw Sarles, Deborah Waldoand Cassius Webb, we have met regularly and have worked closely with the diocesan Office forTransition Ministry to begin the process. We have just submitted to the diocese a completed twopart parish profile which includes key statistics about our parish and a more lengthy set ofresponses to twelve questions concerning our parish life. We are grateful to the many parishionerswho responded to our recent parish survey providing valuable insights describing the strengths andchallenges facing our parish. These responses will aid potential candidates in learning about ourstrengths as a parish and our priorities looking ahead. The challenges we have faced as a result ofCOVID form an important theme that could not be ignored.We are encouraged that our parish has responded in many positive ways to these challenges, manyof which are described throughout this Annual Report. Once our parish profile is posted by thediocese and available on our website, the next phase of this process commences as we begin aseries of conversations with candidates. Thank you for your prayers in the days and weeks aheadas we, guided by the Holy Spirit, seek the next rector of All Saints’ Church.Loving God, giver of all good gifts, guide with your Holy Spirit the Search Committee of All Saints’Church. Through the transforming grace of Jesus Christ, grant us joy, curiosity, and patience aswe search for our new rector. Lead us, Lord, to a candidate who will support and challenge ourparish, as together we carry out the work you are calling us to do. All this we ask in the Name ofyour Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
STEWARDSHIP OF THE SPIRITUAL LIFE OF OUR PARISHEarly in March of 2020, in response to the Bishop’s and Governor’s recommendations forfollowing CDC guidelines, All Saints’ suspended in-person worship in the Church. As our focuschanged to virtual and outdoor forms of worship, we began asking: “How are we keeping ourministries and church alive?” as we found new and expanded ways of participation in the liturgicaland spiritual life of our parish. Little did we know then that we would be asking the same questionsthrough the next year. Some of these new formats were retained into 2021 even after we were ableto resume in-person worship in the church.Virtual Liturgy of the Word continued as our primary form of sharing worship in the earlymonths of 2021. Featuring music from members of the choir, lectors proclaiming the Word andleading the Prayers of the People, with a sermon by the rector or one of our parish clergy, theservice was recorded each Wednesday, and posted on our website by 5:30pm on Saturday.Worshipping virtually has challenged us all to expand our skills of recording and then splicingthese recordings into one cohesive service. It followed the format of Rite II without the Liturgy ofthe Eucharist. Our church’s lectionary appoints a lesson from the Hebrew Scriptures, a portion ofthe Psalter, an epistle or other writing from the New Testament and a solemn reading from one ofthe four Gospels for every Sunday and holy day in the church year. It is our tradition that a layperson read each lesson that precedes the Gospel, which is always read by either a deacon or priest.The Prayers of the People are also led by a member of the laity. These prayers, which largelyfollow suggested forms from the Book of Common Prayer, include petitions for the ministry ofthe Church, including our bishops and parish clergy, concerns of the wider community of thenation and the world, and always for those in our parish community who may be sick or in anyspecial need. Special ministries which are supported by our parish carried out in the largercommunity are specifically prayed for by name. Prayers for the departed are also offered in thecontext of our understanding of the “communion of all the saints.” Opportunity for members ofthe congregation to share their prayer concerns silently or aloud is always a part of this form ofprayer.Rite NOW is an interactive, contemplative worship service, drawing on alternative liturgicalresources with attention to inclusive language, space for silence and contemplation, and a shared,guided conversation reflecting on the scriptures instead of a sermon. Congregants also share inleading the readings and prayers. In 2021, Rite Now met primarily on line at 10am on Sundaymornings; a few times opting to have in-person evening services on a Saturday. With COVID upsand downs, staying on line has been the most popular choice, with attendance averaging fourteen,though when in-person services in the church are suspended, our numbers grow closer to forty.Rite NOW is valued as a deeply spiritual, intimate opportunity to pray and worship together. TheRite NOW service is primarily led by The Rev. Louise Howlett, Associate Priest.
In-Person Worship was welcomed wholeheartedly after a long period of virtual worship.Enhanced by a cantor and musical sections, Eucharist on the Lawn was initiated for Easter andcontinued on Sunday mornings until July. COVID protocols precluded any group singing, evenwith masks. Worship on the Lawn afforded the opportunity for All Sainters to meet, as a group,masked and socially distanced, to share in the spiritual life of our parish. Our ushers providedvaluable assistance in greeting people and signing them in for contact tracing for all our worshipservices. Our outdoor worship drew passersby looking for a spiritual home. Our beautiful groundsprovided an environment just as holy as the interior of our church.Beginning on July 4, 2021, In-Person Church Services recommenced and continued throughthe end of the year. As of the first Sunday in October, Holy Eucharist Rite I was celebrated on thefirst Sunday of each month, with Holy Eucharist Rite II on other Sundays. Upon the retirement ofour rector, The Rev. Jamie Hamilton, on October 1, 2021, our associate priests shared the liturgicalroles of celebrant and preacher at our services. Their variety of styles and spirituality have affordedour parishioners a rare opportunity to hear the word of God from diverse perspectives.Advent & Christmas were celebrated in the church with fewer seasonal services impacted bothby the surge in COVID infections and with the necessity of simplifying the schedule toaccommodate the scheduling of clergy. The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, originallyscheduled for the Fourth Sunday of Advent was canceled, as was the annual Christmas EveNativity Pageant. After all our careful preparations, attendance was reduced due to icy winterweather.Our Liturgical Ministries soon adapted to a new way of supporting our worship.Music in our liturgies was disrupted again this year. As 2021 began, our Sunday liturgycontinued in both audio and video formats, consisting of the readings appointed for the day, asermon, short organ voluntaries before and after the service and an occasional solo. During Lentseveral members of the All Saints’ Choir came to the church to record Compline from the Crypt.Observing strict COVID protocols, ensembles of 1-3 singers made video recordings of more than30 segments of music, which were assembled into 31 unique versions of Compline and posted onYouTube each weekday during Lent.Beginning on Easter, in-person worship returned with Holy Eucharist celebrated outdoors inobservance of COVID protocols. On Easter Day the choir sang, and by Pentecost, when the choirnext sang, congregational singing had been re-introduced. By July 4th, weekly services had movedinto the church for the remainder of the summer. In September, the All Saints’ Choir began regularweekly rehearsals for the first time in more than sixteen months, providing music for services forthe first time beginning September 19th. This “normal” pattern of services continued until the endof the year, when COVID infections began to surge in New Hampshire and in-person serviceswere once again suspended.
Our Altar Guild continued to prepare the church for worship services, including outdoorservices, and to care for the altar linens, vessels and clergy vestments and our beautiful altarhangings used during our services. The altars were dressed in the appropriate liturgical colors andthe exterior of the church seasonally decorated. The lighted candles in the windows of the churchbuildings continued to shine. While most services are on Sunday mornings, they also prepare forweddings, funerals, and other religious observances throughout the year. At least one Altar Guildmember attends all on-site services to do any necessary setup, cleanup and to secure the churchafterward. Regular Sunday services are handled by two members. They set up for the SundayEucharist on Friday or Saturday. When COVID restrictions are not in place,altar flowers areordered as the season allows and taken to our parishioners in nursing homes, assisted livingfacilities, or those who are ill at home. Parishioners who make donations for altar flowers are giventhe opportunity to take them home after Sunday services.We are grateful to the many generous parishioners who donate funds at Christmas, Easter andthroughout the year for flowers and other needs. Donations make it possible to repair and replaceworn items.Our Ushers and Lectors found expanded roles as they contributed to our recorded and outdoorservices. As a parish, All Saints’ places a high value on the importance of being a welcomingcommunity. The Ushering Ministry is a key touch point from which to extend a warm welcometo our church for parishioners and visitors alike. This year, in addition to welcoming everyone,ushers guided attendees of our services in signing contact tracing sheets, supplying masks if neededand assuring that proper spacing was observed.Our lector corps, charged with the proclamation of scripture aloud during worship as the anchorof our common liturgy, was called upon to assist in recording of the Virtual Sunday Worshipservices in addition to their roles during the in-person church services.While their role of distributing the Eucharist was minimized until September, our LayEucharistic Ministers resumed this most sacred service to the church while assisting ourassociate priests. All Saints’ follows the diocesan directive to offer communion in one kind only.Lay Eucharistic Ministers serve in the faith and belief of the Resurrected Christ as they administerthe Consecrated Elements to the people of Christ at a Celebration of Holy Eucharist. A LayEucharistic Minister needs to be a confirmed communicant in good standing, at least sixteen yearsold, approved by the Vestry and be certified by the Bishop.Service to the community is not limited to Sunday. In addition to the Sunday worship service, ourLay Eucharistic Ministers also assist our clergy with the services at Summerhill and Rivermead.A special group within this ministry is the Eucharistic Visitor, who is a lay person authorized totake Consecrated Elements in a timely manner following a Celebration of Holy Eucharist tomembers of the congregation who, by reason of illness or infirmity, are unable to be present at thechurch service.
Christian Formation for Adults - Zooming soon became a way of life. The Thursdaymorning Bible Group continued to meet via Zoom after The Rev. Jamie’s retirement and is nowbeing lay led. During the Fall, the group of fourteen participants read Dr. Howard Thurman’s Jesusand the Disinherited. The group will start up again in late January with Wendy Sanford’s TheseWalls Between Us.Education for Ministry (EfM) is in its fourteenth year at All Saints’ Church. The COVID-19pandemic has challenged this ministry as well — whether we’d have enough people to have agroup and being able to meet. Thankfully, we’ve been able to carry on and Zoom has given us theflexibility to be together as a group when meeting in person has not been possible. This four-yearcourse for lay people offered through the School of Theology at the University of the South inSewanee, Tennessee, is mentored by Marilyn Weir. EfM helps us broaden our understanding ofthe Bible and the history of Christianity and theology. Sustained by what we learn, we create asafe, trusting environment to explore our faith, helping us to become better ministers of JesusChrist for ourselves and in the world.When quarantine requirements eased, Services to the Assisted Living and Nursing Homesresumed this year. All Saints’ clergy held services of Holy Eucharist, Rite II, usually on a monthlybasis, depending upon various COVID-related protocols, at the RiverMead Health Center, ScottFarrar and Summerhill. The late Judy Collier often played the piano for Assisted Living residentsat RiverMead services, and in December Cynthia Healer began to carry on that role of playinghymns. Residents respond or share in leading readings and prayers as they are able. There is alwaystime for pastoral visits and conversations before or after the services, and individual visits withHoly Communion from the Reserved Sacrament are provided as needed.
STEWARDSHIP OF OUR PEOPLEWelcoming Ministry - All are welcome at All Saints' - parishioners, newcomers and visitors.We are committed to welcoming everyone, wherever they may be on their spiritual journeys. Eachone of us is called to acknowledge and greet newcomers and visitors warmly, to introduceourselves and invite them to feel a part of the community and comfortable in the space - joining inthe worship, prayers and singing, and coming together at breakfast or coffee hour or lemonade-onthe-lawn. It is there that we encounter others with like interests, stories and needs that may provideus opportunity to be of help.The ushers play an important role greeting, offering a “welcome bag” and encouraging newcomersto complete a “welcome card” so we can be in touch with them further. Our clergy, parishadministrator and Welcome committee members phone and/or email newcomers to welcome themand we watch for a chance to meet. We encourage them to sign up for the Saints Alive weeklyemail, attend special services and educational offerings, and perhaps become involved in aministry. It is often through ministries such as Pastoral Care, Ushering, the Community Supper,Knitting and other inreach and outreach activities that new members come to feel fully part of ourcommunity of All Saints’.We look forward to the day when the Diocese and vestry tell us it’s safe for us to resume ourHospitality Ministry. Breakfast and coffee hour enable us to get to know and establishconnection with others. We are grateful to a cadre of willing and gracious volunteers who taketurns providing breakfast and coffee hour and hosting receptions - in the future, in our newlyrenovated kitchen!During COVID, Welcoming & Hospitality ministries have been coordinating with the OutreachMinistry to seek new ways to keep-in-touch and strengthen our All Saints’ community, as long asin-person church services are not safe and we’ve been meeting on Zoom.
