Church Photo Directory
Imagine what it would be like to know all of our members & their families easily. Wouldn't you like a published keepsake of our St. Charles’ Episcopal Church that will preserve our story, celebrate our members, and remind us of significant times and activities? That is why we are introducing a new pictorial directory.
We have selected Olan Mills to do the photography and to publish the pictorial directory. With their "VIP" system, you will be photographed and view your poses during the same appointment.
Of course, our Church Directory won't be complete without you. You are a very important part of our church family. So, whether you attend every week, or only occasionally, we want you to be included in our new directory. It is extremely important that we have 100% participation.
Every family unit who participates and views their proofs will receive a complimentary 8 X 10 color portrait and a new directory. If you have additional portrait needs, you will be able to choose from various portrait packages at special savings.
We will have portrait appointment registration after worship services for several weeks, so be sure to select a day and time which is convenient for you. The dates and times for photography are:
Friday, March 16, 3:00 to 9:30 pm
Saturday, March 17, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
An additional day will be added if 35 more families need to be photographed over and above these two scheduled days which will be Thursday, March 15, from 3-9:30 pm.
You may also make an appointment right now with EZ Sign Up by going online to http://signup.olanmills.com. The times that are in EZ Sign Up are different than those on the Appointment Charts at the church. It is very easy to use. To sign in you must type our church phone number 630-584-2596. You must complete the required fields as indicated on the website in order to make the appointment. If you have questions about this, please call the office.
Clergy Notes
Well, March has arrived and we are in the midst of Lent. One of the themes that we are picking up in Lent this year is to try and make space for some silence in our lives. There is so much noise in our lives now, that we are becoming more and more uncomfortable with silence. I don’t think this is a good thing. I love music at least as much as the next guy, and I am thrilled with the new technology that allows me to carry almost my entire music collection in a little gizmo not much bigger than a Bic lighter. I can now listen to my music almost anywhere. But should I? Might there be a better way to spend my time?
Silence has been a spiritual discipline, I suppose, since the beginning of time. I think it is important for us to develop this discipline. Silence forces us to be with ourselves. For some this can be an uncomfortable place to be. It shouldn’t be. If silence is used productively it can help us to remember that we are with God as well. That too can be an uncomfortable place to be, though it shouldn’t be either. There are some wonderful tools that the church has to make use of silence. There are two that I would like to offer you this Lent.
The Labyrinth is one. I hope you were able to take advantage of our indoor labyrinth on Ash Wednesday. It will be traveling on our behalf throughout much of Lent to various churches around the area, sharing its wisdom with many other people. I am proud that we are able to share that ministry with those around us, but I miss the Labyrinth in the winter when it is buried in the snow and I am more reticent to brave the cold and wind. The groundhog tells me I don’t have long to wait, so I will be patient. Until then I am using an interesting little internet labyrinth (http://www.gracecathedral.org/labyrinth/interactions/labyrinth.shtml) to help with my silence. If you would like to learn more about Labyrinths, I encourage you to talk to Cathy Koch, Mary Elfring, or Beth Parks, three members of our parish who are Labyrinth facilitators, or you can go to this link (http://www.gracecathedral.org/labyrinth/).
Another tool to help put your silent time to good use is a discipline called centering prayer. I don’t have the space to give centering prayer a thorough description so I will include a link for those who would like to know more (http://www.centeringprayer.com/cntrgpryr.htm). I see Centering prayer is an attempt to quiet the inner person, for most of us a much more difficult task than finding time in our lives for external quiet. The goal of this inner quiet is to make a place to just be with God. It takes it’s scriptural source from the verse in Matthew where Jesus gives advice to his disciples on prayer – “But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” The guidelines are simple, but like many disciplines, take practice and patience.
1. Choose a sacred word as the symbol of your intention to consent to God’s presence and action within.
2. Sitting comfortably and with eyes closed, settle briefly and silently introduce the sacred word as the symbol of your consent to God’s presence and action within.
3. When engaged with your thoughts (Thoughts include body sensations, feelings, images, and reflections), return ever-so-gently to the sacred word.
4. At the end of the prayer period, remain in silence with eyes closed for a couple of minutes.
You should set aside about 20 minutes for the whole process. If you are like most people, the first time you try this, the moment you get to step two and silently introduce your sacred word (sometimes even before!) You will be overrun by your thoughts. Do not despair. That is why step three contains the words “ever-so-gently.” Be gentle with yourself as you learn something new. Eventually you will find the ability to sit for twenty minutes in the presence of God without distraction. What a gift to be able to really “Be still and know that I am God!”
See you in Church,
Bill +
From the wardens...
This is my first letter as your Senior Warden and I would like to thank each of you for giving me this opportunity to serve God and St. Charles' Episcopal Church. I would also like to thank Joe Ryan for setting such a good example for me and for all his service to our parish. (Joe's not done serving.) I want to express my appreciation to our retiring vestry members Bill Churchwell, Sharon Miller, Marina Morrow and Mary Benjamin who was unable to finish her vestry term because of the press of family and professional obligations. I would also like to thank Tom Miller for his wonderful work leading our construction project.
Our new vestry is a wonderful mix of new energy and experience. We are all very fortunate to have such a fine group of dedicated people willing to serve the Lord in this way.
Here is the new vestry and their areas of responsibilities:
Invitational Ministry/Evangelism Dick Hattan
Buildings Henry Mora
Grounds Joe Ryan (Who has graciously agreed to serve out Mary Benjamin's term)
Special Projects/Fundraising Michelle Moore
Worship/Pastoral Care Cathy Koch
Parish Life Katie Thomson
Outreach Colin Campbell
Formation Mary Zupke
Communication Christy Becker
On February 10th most of the old and new Vestry met at Calvary Episcopal Church in Batavia for our annual Vestry Retreat. We worked very hard on some key objectives for our church this year. We came up with a long list but the top twelve in priority order are as follows:
• Establish a formal theological education program at our church (seminary extension)
• Increase volunteerism to the point that we have more volunteers than we have things for them to do
• Learn more about the Diocese of Southeast Mexico
• Plan a pilgrimage for adults
• Begin planning for a capital campaign
• Apply to the Lilly Foundation Curate Program so we can have an Associate Rector on staff
• Build a children's playground at the church
• More spiritual activities that are driven by the lay community
• Redefine stewardship so that everyone understands its full meaning
• Facilitate the church's growth
• Increase our outreach to tri-cities and west
• Plan weekend retreats for men, women and co-ed at our church and other locations
As you can see, we are going to be busy! Which brings me to one of the things I've asked the Vestry to focus on this year...giving everyone who wants to a chance to use their time and talents to live out their faith in service to God. The Vestry should be the church "leaders" not the church "doers." This year our Vestry is going to expand the number of committees and programs so we can get everyone who is able involved in the ministries of our church. So, decide how you'd like to serve and talk to the appropriate Vestry member.
Lastly, I'd like to share with you the theme for this year - See the Miracles! Fr. Bill reminded us in a recent sermon that we are a blessed community and we are surrounded by God's miracles everyday; we just don't always notice them. This year I'd like each of us to look for God's miracles in our every day lives. See the miracles; they are all around us.
Fasten your seat belts; it is going to be an exciting year!
Your servant,
Bob

The Frederick N. Ludtke Scholarship
In 1985, to honor Father Ludtke, the first rector of St. Charles' Church, Jim Kelly, a former parishioner, established the Ludtke Scholarships. Each scholarship was $250 a year for four years, given annually to a graduating senior from the parish, as long as he or she remained a full-time student in a four-year college.
After Father Ludtke's death in 1992, Mr. Kelly discontinued funding the scholarships and the Ludtke family requested that they be continued with Ludtke memorial contributions. The scholarship became a one-time award of $500 to one person or $400 to each, if there were two or more scholars.
When Ludtke Memorial Funds were depleted, the vestry made the Ludtke Scholarship a line item in the annual operating budget of the church and increased the scholarship to $500 annually for four years.
The Scholarship is available to a graduating member of the Episcopal Church and is payable for four years as long as the student maintains full-time status as required by his or her college or university.
The Scholarship must be applied for with a letter from the applicant telling the selection committee why he or she is a good candidate for the Scholarship. Supporting letters of recommendation from a teacher and from an adult who is not a family member, a youth group leader or the rector are also suggested.
A committee of at least the Rector, the vestry member responsible for Formation and one Youth Group leader will review applications to determine who will receive that year's Ludtke Scholarship.
Past scholarships have been awarded to (probably not a complete list and certainly not in chronological order): Carolyn Bachman, Lauren Hillard, David Miles, Melanie Glen, Ben Hawley, Tupper Hillard, Colin Kaiser, Bing Koch, Chris Straley, Barton Koop, Elizabeth Barnes, Jason Mosshamer, Jessica Birk, Lisa Punch, Paul Heinemann and Brittany Hildebrand, Jessica Elfring, Ryan Thomson, Thomas Van Nortwick and Gilmour Hildebrand.
Ten years after receiving the Ludtke Scholarship, Melanie Glenn received a grant for her doctorate in aeronautical engineering.Shortly thereafter, we received a letter from Melanie that expressed her gratitude for the Ludtke Scholarship she received when she first went off to MIT. Enclosed was a check for a "tithe" of the grant so others might continue to benefit as she had.
All graduating seniors were given a copy of the Ludtke Scholarship Application on January 7th. This year the scholarship recipient will be announced on Formation Graduation Sunday, June 3, 2007. All interested graduating high school seniors should have their applications and letters into Liz Ryan or the church office no later than Sunday March 4, 2007.
Happy Birthday to you!

Mardi Gras Wrap Up
Our 26th Annual Mardi Gras celebration was once again a big success. This time honored tradition was started by Robert and the late Ida Bullen. The beads were flying at our new crowned King Matt Rhead and his Queen Karen Hattan. The costumes were amazingly creative - Madonna and Julia Child, Army Sergeant & Arch Bishop, Geisha, Court Jester, Mrs. Potato Head, Maiden Marion & Dead Chief Illini, Goth Girl, Madam Butterfly, Fred & Ginger Rogers, Fly Fisherman & Cowgirl, Cubs Fan. All this would not be possible without a big Cajun “Thank You” going out to Chef Matt Rhead for all his excellent culinary skills for the fabulous meal and the 3J’s gang – John Benjamin, John Larson, and Joe Ryan who assisted in the kitchen. A big thank you goes to Wendy Bangs, Mary Benjamin, Karen Hattan and Kathy Hari for set-up & decorations/ticket sales/clean-up. Matt Rhead & Liz Ryan for food shopping. Jamaican Jim Hari who bartended. The clean up crew of Mary & John Benjamin, Liz & Joe Ryan, Dick & Karen Hattan, and Bo Smith did an excellent job. And to all those who stayed a little late to help with clean up - THANK YOU. A special thank to our in kind donations: John & Annie Hollis for the King Cakes from Lousianna, Karen & Dick Hattan for the beer and wine, to Judy Clarke & Savway Liquors for the case of wine. Stop in Ludtke hall to look at the great pictures It’s not too late to start planning your costume for next year.

"Will you strive for justice and peace among all people?"
"I will with God's help."
The Office of Government Relations and the Episcopal Public Policy Network (EPPN), of more than 15,000 Episcopalians across the country, brings the position of the Episcopal Church to our nation's lawmakers. It represents the social policies of the church established by the General Convention and Executive Council, including issues of international peace and justice, human rights, immigration, welfare, poverty, hunger, health care, violence, civil rights, the environment, racism and issues involving women and children.
As Episcopalians, we promise in the Baptismal Covenant to "strive for justice and peace." Striving for a just and peaceful world can take the form of helping those in need one-on-one. It can also involve pursing broad, social change through public policies designed to help the needy. The EPPN is committed to the ministry of justice and peace through public policy advocacy. Your national leaders need to hear from you, as Episcopalians. Each year, Congress considers hundreds of bills that impact the mission of the Church. Many organizations are actively engaged in the debates on Capitol Hill. If we are not, others wind up speaking for us. We have a Christian view of public policy that our nation's leaders need and want to hear. Your letters and call make a difference.
The EPPN is a nationwide grassroots network of Episcopalians who call and write their members of Congress and the Administration to advocate positions of the Church. Members of the EPPN receive policy alerts updating them on what is happening in Washington, the Church's position on public policies, and techniques and information on contacting their government leaders. EPPN members also receive a congressional directory and action guide, legislative updates and newsletters, online resources and sample letters.
The programs, action, and ministry of the EPPN and the Office of Government Relations are based solely upon resolutions approved by General Convention, or in the interim, by the Convention's Executive Council.

Can we talk?
The communications team will be setting up and training staff and wardens on Voice Shot. This is an automated telephone calling system that will be available to use for important, time-sensitive announcements and emergency schedule changes. We don't expect that there will be many such messages, and no cost is incurred except when it is used. This will just be another communication tool when the newsletter and e-mail cannot get the message to you fast enough. And, of course, do check out our website for a wealth of information.

Soup Kitchen news...
A hearty thank you to all who continue to donate food to this wonderful program! On a monthly basis we have approximately thirty “helpers” who give $200 worth of food for the “side dishes” for our meal at Trinity Church Soup Kitchen. We as a church (through our Outreach funds) generally donated $70 for the ingredients for the main dish each month. We had some familiar faces cooking on Wednesday nights and serving on Thursdays. (And we would love to share the fun with some new “chefs” and “servers” - it is a time of fun and fellowship as well as gratifying ministry.)
We prepare the meal on the Wednesday night before the fourth Thursday of each month, starting at 7 pm and finishing by 8 or 8:30 pm. Thursday morning we leave our church at 9:30 am to transport the meal and serve it, returning at approximately 2:30 pm.
We are also looking for a “person in charge” for one month a year. That person selects the menu (we have many large-quantity casserole recipes on hand), sees that the ingredients are available on Wednesday night, and supervises the serving on Thursday. For February we were under the guidance of Judy Clarke, who is making her “world famous” St-oup (half stew, half soup) from the meat frozen after the Pig Roast. The rest of the ingredients ($75 dollars worth) were donated by the Blue Goose! What a generous gift!
If you haven’t had the opportunity to spend a day at the Soup Kitchen, you will find it a very special experience. Many people come in late morning for coffee and conversation, and stay for the noon Eucharist. They find the Trinity Church dining room a place where they are welcome, off the streets and out of the cold. We see that they are served a tasty, nutritious meal with a smile.
Come and join us. For more information contact Liz Ryan at the church, Barbara Ross or see the sign up sheet in Ludtke Hall.
Stuffed Animal Ministry
The Emergency Department Chaplains at Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove give every child who arrives by ambulance a small, new stuffed animal when they arrive in the Emergency Department. This small token of human affection given at a scary time of big machines and hospital personnel wearing masks makes a big difference to a child who is hurt and scared.
The chaplains are almost out of donated stuffed animals, and I hope we can help. Their requirements are simple. The stuffed animals must be NEW and less than 14" tall. Beanie Babies are wonderful - though any plush toys are gratefully accepted.
Deposit new stuffed animals in the box in Ludtke Hall. We will bless them at Easter, and deliver them Easter Week. Questions? Call Deacon Liz.
TUESDAY EVENING
PRAYER AND MEDITATION
How will you make yours a holy Lent?
Join us on Tuesday evenings in Lent for
Evening Prayer at 7:30 pm.
After Evening Prayer, you can opt to stay on for a 50 minute guided meditation based on the
ancient tradition of Lectio Divina.
It promises to be a rich time of drawing
near to God.
Make it your practice during Lent.
Tuesday Evenings at 7:30.
Questions? Call Deacon Liz at 262-8541.
