Dear Friends:
I still miss the smell in the fall of burning leaves in neighbors
yards. But that was when I was living in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Here on the north coast we pretty much have only two seasons: fall
and spring. Temperatures are moderate all year long, and it is always
enjoyable to be outside.
We will welcome our wonderful choir back on September 7.
During September we will also be preparing for the Oct. 2 ordination
of Sister Diana Doncaster to the diaconate. On Sept. 27 we will say
goodbye to Canon Britt, who has played a large part in our parish life.
Early October will be an exciting time. On Oct. 2 the Bishop will join us as he ordains Sr.
Diana to the diaconate. In addition, we have two people in the parish studying for the diaconate.
Anne Pierson and Pam Gossard will continue to travel throughout the year to the School for
Deacons in Berkeley. Deacon Nancy Streufert is already very active in this ministry.
This summer we offered two childrens camps. Please take a look at the articles and photos in
this Chronicle. Soon we will enter into a stewardship campaign, headed up by Sanford Pyron, with
the assistance of Beth Powell and Kathy Clague.
May we all enjoy the fruits of this autumn season. Thanks be to God!

Transparency and the Church

Recently I have been hearing the word transparency used in
conversations at Christ Church. It makes me wonder why. Is it due
to concerns that are not being addressed? Uncertainties of some as
to where we are going? What is currently going on in the life of
our church that brings up the word?
What is transparency? In the context of churches, transparency
has two important components; first that the church finances be
transparent, and second, that the church is governed in a transpar-
ent fashion so that the congregation understands how and why decisions are made.
The Center for Church Transparency asserts that transparency is not about distrust, it is about
disclosure and prevents personal agendas from circumventing Gods agenda.
The Church Transparency Project (CTP) states that at its core, transparency in governance is
about participation and communication. Church leaders should receive and consider input from the
congregation when making decisions or the decision making process may create passive, disen-
gaged congregants. The CTP offers several principles of good nonprofit governance that have been
recommended by a wide variety of organizations, including the Evangelical Council for Financial
Accountability, the IRS, and the Independent Sectors Panel on the Nonprofit Sector. Following are
some suggestions that are offered by CTP to help give the laity a greater voice in church govern-
ance:
1. Churches should be governed by an independent Governing Body consisting of at least
five but no more than 15 members, each of whom is elected to a fixed term.
a. Members of the Governing Body should be independent, meaning they receive no
compensation from the church, are not on its staff, and not related to or living with any
one who is.
b. The size of the Governing Body should be large enough to permit deliberation, but
not so large that it becomes unwieldy.
c. Members of the Governing Body should be individuals committed to the churchs
mission and willing and able to devote substantial time to overseeing its management.
d. Members should serve a fixed term that is long enough to become familiar with their
role but not so long that they burn out. The Governing Body should be staggered so
that the entire leadership is not up for selection each time.
e. The Governing Body should have a chair, a treasurer, and a secretary, and no
individual should occupy more than one office.

4
f. It should meet regularly.
2. Members of the Governing Body should be accessible to church members, and the
Governing Body should explain its decision-making process to the congregation.
a. It should regularly present a summary of its meetings and decisions to the
congregation.
b. It should be involved in the life of the church and should have significant
responsibility outside of the regular meetings.
3. A church should have organizational documents that establish its governance and
management structure, and those documents should be made available to the
congregation.
4. The Governing Body should bear the ultimate responsibility for hiring, overseeing,
and evaluating senior church staff members, including the pastor.
For those who may not be aware, the National Episcopal Church and the Diocese of North-
ern California have websites to access. Information about the Episcopal Church on all levels is
available including the Canons of the Church, and contact information for each Diocese.
Christ Church has recently expanded its website and offers many ways to obtain information
about our parish.
The Christ Church Vestry meets on the third Sunday of each month. Minutes of the meetings
are posted after each meeting as is the monthly financial statement.
On Sunday, July 20, 2014, I introduced the current vestry members at the 10:30 a.m. ser-
vice. I encouraged all members of the congregation present (and now encourage all others) to
contact me, and all of the other members of the vestry, if you have questions, concerns or com-
ments regarding the church. I hope you will do so.

In the name of Jesus Christ, you are to serve all people, particularly
the poor, the weak, the sick, and the lonely . . . You are to interpret to
the Church the needs, concerns, and hopes of the world. These words
come from the diaconal ordination liturgy in the examination part of
the service, when the Bishop addresses the ordinands in the imperative:
what as deacons we are promising to do in service to our Lord.
Six parishioners at Christ Church are now helping Betty Chinn in her
nighttime outreach ministry to the poor and hungry in our community:
Julie Cairns, Pam & Paul Gossard, John Hammond, Elizabeth Harper-
Lawson, and myself. After the cafeteria at St. Joseph Hospital closes
each evening at 7:30 p.m., we take turns (in pairs) packing up the
leftover food from the day that will otherwise be discarded. Then we
transport it to Bettys kitchen at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on
Myrtle Avenue where she creates individual servings and distributes them to the poor that same night.
Its as simple as that, and takes less than an hour with two people!
Betty can use our help every night of the week except Wednesdays and Saturdays. Not only do we
give her a little break so she can spend more time at her Day Center, we help ease her back problems
that are exacerbated by lifting buckets of soup and in wheeling the cart down the ramp at St. Joes.
To grow this ministry into a viable and sustainable one, we need your help so no one gets burned out.
Can you take one night a week? every other week? once a month? Can you fill in as a substitute? Let
me know.
Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you? . . . Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of
the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. (Matt 25:37,40)
In Christs Compassion,
Deacon Nancy+

Welcome back, Christ Church choir! Choir members began rehearsing on August 20 for the coming
year and it has been fun to see (and hear) everyone together again. The choir is always open to new
members. Rehearsals are on Wednesdays, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. Anyone who cannot make Wednes-
day evening rehearsals may come at 9:15 on Sunday to learn/rehearse parts. At 9:30 a.m. on Sun-
day, the entire choir meets in the sanctuary to rehearse for the 10:30 a.m. service. It takes time and
commitment, as all
ministries do. It is al-
so a joyful and re-
warding experience
for those who feel
called to this ministry.
It was especially
exciting to reconvene
in our refreshed
music room! Over the
summer, several
hard-working volun-
teers cleaned, painted,
hung new blinds, and
rearranged the room.
New carpeting was
installed, and between
Carpet Express
providing the carpet at cost and donations from choir members, the cost of the carpet and installation
was entirely covered. The remaining project still in the works is the sorting and filing of the choral
library. A good start has been made and it will be an ongoing project for the next few months. As
they say, many hands make light work! Thank you to all who have volunteered their time and a
special thanks to Pam and Paul Gossard who really kept the project going and put in many hours to
help create this wonderful new space.
Continuing a tradition begun several years ago, the choir had its annual potluck on August 23 at the
home of Denise Braafladt. Choir members and guests gathered to share conversation, laughter, and
lots of great food (church potlucks are the best!) in a beautiful setting. Thank you, Denise!

Yours in Christ,
Merry Phillips

September Birthdays & Anniversaries
Altar Guild

First and foremost I wish to thank the ladies & one fine gentleman of our current Altar Guild:
1st Sunday Thanks to Elizabeth H-L, and Jeanne Fish.
2nd Sunday Thanks to the sweet dedicated Ladies for over 30 years: Eris McCarthy and Mary
Henderson Edson and their great team member Irene Hannaford.
3rd Sunday is maintained by Sara Hines and our newest member, Susan Whaley and yours
truly, Katherine Clague (Directress thanks to the infamous, Fay Judy). Sara and I
also man the 5th Sunday if it occurs in the month.
4th Sunday Thanks to Marty and Dan Vega (please note how that Eagle shines thanks to Dan)
and the other longtime member of the guild, Mary McNelis (who is often assisted
by Beth Powell).

What a wonderful team of devoted volunteers. You may not know all that we do since we are
behind the scenes. I particularly want to bring to your attention the brass polishers (and believe me
Christ Church has a lot of brass, so please mind touching the railing, they are a magnets for finger-
prints and it takes us a lot of work to maintain them. Seriously it is not easy to keep all of that brass
and silver shining to the GLORY OF GOD!!!).
We also set up for all our worship services. As we approach our annual Stewardship for Christ
Church, we will welcome anyone who feels they too would like to be a part of our team (we do
train).
Also Elizabeth H-L is the 'Flower Lady' for our church (thank GOD! When my Mother was
needing my help more and more, Elizabeth took over the flowers for me). It is she who has called to
remind people, and most of the time, she also procures the flowers to the donor's wishes and is re-
sponsible for making our beautiful flower arrangements. But I must mention that Lyn and Anna Klay
have graciously given their talent and expertise in arranging our Christmas and Easter displays, along
with the assistance of Anne Van Zandt who is also very instrumental at these occasions. And this
past Easter Season we had the creative, wonderful talent of Thomas Swanger!!! (an Altar Guild

8
member-at-large, what a wonderful and truly gifted man).
It is Elizabeth H-L whom you should contact if you wish to give flowers for any given Sundaywe
still have openings for giving and we can arrange dates which are meaningful to you. Please check
with Elizabeth or me and we will try to accommodate your wishes. You may want to 'team-up' with
someone else to cover the cost. We usually request a contribution of $50 dollars toward the flowers,
never knowing what the actual cost will be for that given Sunday. Any excess funds go toward the
'flower' fund (please note on your check that it is going to flowers on the memo-line, that really helps
with bookkeeping).
I can't thank all these wonderful people enough for all of their help to make your worshipping experi-
ence the best, most meaningful it can be!!

Thank you

Katherine Clague

A note from the Mooreheads

In this past year many of you have prayed for our daughter Anne, as she pursues her career as a Ther-
apist with the Center for Autism and Related Disorders. We want all those who have been concerned
about Anne to know that just this past month the local office (located in Lafayette, CA) of her em-
ployer (CARD) named her the "Therapist of the Month," and her photo is prominently displayed in
the CARD office in Lafayette. In addition to this, she is now embarking on an on-line training course
which will lead to a "Registered Behavioral Technician" certification, another step forward for her in
the field of behavioral therapy for autistic children.

So we are very thankful to all of you who have given her support over these past several years; she
has needed that support, and it is bearing fruit! Thank you!!

Doug and Carol Moorehead

A note received in the office
Good morning,
I hope this message finds you in good health and good spirits. My name is Norman Teitsworth and I
would like to move to Eureka this month. I have lived in Newport Beach, CA for the past 3 years,
and your cooler weather would be a benifit to a health condition I have and you have less pollution
due to your lower population. Also,my wife who is Chinese will be going back to Shanghai, China
for a multi-year period to care for her elderly parents. I am originally from PA and can not take the
high heat and humidity of Shanghai, therefore the seperation. I am 63 years old , a retired profession-
al(plant operations planner). I would like to rent a room or a studio apartment from a Christian fami-
ly, even if only for a month or 2 until I found a permanent home. I have been a United Methodist

10
most of my life and served as a Trustee, Adult Sunday School teacher, and board member of the day-
care center which was a mission of the Methodist church I belonged to in Carlisle, PA. I have listed
the Pastor of this church as a reference below. I would pay in the range of $450 per month for the
rent. I would appreciate if you would announce this need to your congregation.
Thank you and may God bless you and your congregation,

Hello from your Stewardship Committee. Beth Powell, Katherine Clague, and I have been work-
ing since July on our Stewardship campaign for this year. You will be receiving a stewardship pack-
et in the mail from us with regards to the coming year with information about our congregation, what
we have done, where we stand as of now and where we want to be envisioning a solid future for
Christ Church in Eureka.

We are going to add a bulletin board to the south wall in Lewis Hall so that we can post news about
Christ Church, our Vestry and all other latest and greatest news about who we are and what we do in
our community.

Please mark your calendars early for two of our stewardship events:

The first Stewardship event will be on Sunday October 12, between the 8:00 and 10:30 services in
our Heritage Room, where you will get to see "A Showcase of Ministries." All of the ministries that
Christ Church has generated with the participation of our Christ Church Parishioners. You will get to
see all that we do in our community, within our walls, and within our city.
We have a lot of outreach programs and you will get to see the fascinating display of all the pro-
grams we generate for our parishioners and out into our city.

It is amazing all of the talent time and treasure we have that we share in the world"!

The next event to mark your calendars for is our annual Stewardship Dinner on Saturday Night,
November 1 at 5:30 p.m. In the Heritage Room to start the event, will be our very own, very talent-

Marvin Davis - Recent News
Our most recent email is dated August 27.
Marvin wrote that he is still living in Monrovia with
Nyanda and Lyndon, his wife and 13-month old son.
He has a new one-year contract with ActionAid Libe-
ria as Program Director for Youth and Urban Poverty.

ActionAid International (AAI), an international
non-governmental and non-profit organization whose
primary aim is to fight poverty and injustice world-
wide, was founded in 1972 as a British child sponsor-
ship charity. AAI works in more than 45 countries and
has been in Liberia since 1997.
Marvin wrote: "It's been really busy the past one
week at work. I am settling in okay, came in a really
busy time. I am currently working the youth and ur-
ban poverty budget for the next three years under our
plans and budget deadline of ActionAid Liberia. We
are also in participatory review of all ActionAid Libe-
ria programs and I am also working on a 40.000 plan
towards AAL Ebola response. Too much to do and lit-
tle time.
"I am overwhelmed but as you said, I can't do all but I am trying to do all I can do. The Ebola situa-
tion in Liberia is getting worse by the minute. Only two airlines are flying in Liberia now, a few
countries in Africa and around the world are not allowing Liberians into their territory. From my pro-
jection, with the help of the international community and NGOs within and outside Liberia, we are
fighting day in day out to contain the virus and with the help of God, by December Ebola will be
contained.
"The job is a senior management position and it comes with monthly rent and transportation. The sal-
ary is $1298.00 excluding tax, rent is $155 and transportation is $75.00. By Liberian standard, the
income is middle class income. ($18,366/yr.)
"My office email is marvin.davis@actionaid.org. ( or marvingarbeh@gmail.com) Going to bed
now. Lyndon is doing well. He is walking and everything around him falls whenever he passes.
Nyandas birthday is next week.
"My love to all, Marvin"

Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) Supports Liberian Church's Ebola Response
A special thank you to Sr. Diana for sharing an email from The Diocese of Southern Ohio. ERD and
the Episcopal Church of Liberia "are mobilizing an awareness-raising campaign about Ebola preven-
tion and treatment through church leaders and local volunteers in five counties. The Church is also
providing food supplies for health workers and quarantined patients ... and procured and shipped pro-
tective supplies to aid the Liberian Church's response to the deadly epidemic...." A more detailed de-
scription of ERD efforts has been posted in Lewis Hall.
How can you help?
Donations may be sent directly to Episcopal Relief and Development designated "Ebola Crisis Re-
sponse Fund." Or checks may be made payable to Christ Church with "ERD: Ebola Crisis Response
Fund" on the memo line.
Lay Ministry Opportunity
Most of our Sunday services have 4 readings from the bible the Old Testament, the New Testament
(other than the Gospels), a Psalm and the Gospel. You could be a Lector if you have ever felt a call to
the ministry of reading, and you could experience the duty and privilege of bringing the printed Word
to life. Gods Word is a living and dynamic presence in our lives, and through it, as you read it aloud,
God speaks to his people using your voice.
If you would like to join this ministry, or have any questions about it, please contact Marty at
443-9782 or by eMail at mjv523@reninet.com.

Musical Outreach Committee
At our Vestry Retreat the Vestry set some goals for itself. One was outreach, that is touching people
who wouldn't ordinarily find themselves at Christ Church. Another was increasing income to do the
work of the church.
One way to fulfill both goals is to welcome outside performing groups to use our church. We have
this wonderful space with fine acoustics and we need to share this blessing. They pay to use the
space and bring in outside people.
We are forming a committee that would support outside performing groups. Members of this com-
mittee would unlock the church, turn out the lights and lock the church as well as arrange for rehears-
al and performance times with the church office so that they do not interfere with other church activi-
ties. Members would be present at the performances and make sure furniture is returned to its proper
place.
If you are interested in serving on this committee, please contact Helen Hui or the church office.

Angus Stewart Travel Notes
Three weeks of travel in June and July took Angus, Joan and Thea Stewart first to Miami; for a day to
see the Everglades and alligators and have a city tour. This was followed by a flight to Lima, Peru

14
(sea level), then next day a flight to Cuzco (11,000 feet), then by bus over the mountains to Urubam-
ba(9,500 feet). The object of the trip was to see the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu (10,000-13,000 feet)
and other less well known Inca sites and to get a feel for the precursor cultures whose building tech-
niques the Incas improved upon to produce their exceptional stone work. The pleasant ambiance of
Peru was taken in by museum visits, maintaining proper hydration by consuming Pisco Sours and
having a midday meal with a family serving a variety of Peruvian foods including roasted guinea pig.
Most country families have pens of guniea pigs they raise for food.
All this was followed by a flight from Cuzco to Quito, Ecuador (11,000 feet) and from there to the
Galapagos Islands 600 miles offshore. The Chronicle is no place to describe the wonders of this ar-
chipelago. This was a great trip; the Stewarts have ruled out Miami as a place where they would
like to live but think Peru and Ecuador are countries they would like to visit again sometime.

Do you have family, travel or other news you would like to share with the parish? Write some-
thing and send it to or drop it by the office by Monday, September 22, for inclusion in the next
Chronicle. christchurcheureka@att.net

CAMP LIVING WATERS CELEBRATES 20 YEARS!!!!



Camp began in l993, as a joint venture between the parishes in the Semper Virens Deanery.
During the first few years, Camp included a Family Camp on the weekend following kids Camp. It

15

is remarkable that an all-volunteer camp has continued, since it requires adults and young people to
donate a week of time to this endeavor. Recently all four of our local priests as well as Canon Britt
have taken part in presiding at Eucharist. This summer we served 22 campers ages 9-15, seven teen-
age counselors, four young adult staff, and 16 core staff members.
Camp has been supported by the diocese, Episcopal Community Services, local churches, and camp
fees. We accept all children, regardless of religious background. Our Rappin in the Glade activity
promotes knowledge of the Bible and Christian tradition. We celebrate Eucharist daily, offering the
opportunity to read the Scriptures and to administer the chalice to children who volunteer. The camp-
ers help make the bread for the Eucharist.
We pay attention throughout the day and evening to how the children treat each other. To that end,
one day per week is designated hug day. Each child draws the name of a secret buddy for whom
they make small keepsakes. Prayers are led in each tent before bedtime.
Camp activities include waterfront, crafts, games and stargazing on the green, archery, a camp dance,
and nightly campfires with skits. Our theme this summer was Adventure into the Heart of God.
Special thanks to Beth Powell, Rene Ross, Sara Hines, and Kathy Clague from Christ Church!
Next summer Camp will take place from July 25 to 31. We look forward to welcoming many new
campers and their friends!

Christ Church Music & Arts Camp 2014

Merry Phillips teaches the children about the organ, piano, and harpsichord while teen helper Emily
Hines looks on.

The Christ Church campus came alive with the sound of childrens voices during the recent music
and arts camp held July 21 25, themed this year The Spark of Creation. Christ Church is in its
fifth year of this outreach ministry that offers a morning summer day camp for children in the com-
munity entering the first through sixth grades. The children were divided into three groups and rotat-
ed daily through classes taught by professional, experienced childrens music and art teachers in key-
boards, drawing and painting, and group singing. On the final day of camp, families and friends were
invited to an open house to experience some of the childrens accomplishments, including a showing
of their art work, followed by a festive barbecue to celebrate the joy of the childrens creativity.

The mission of our camp ministry is to facilitate the process of awakening the creative spirit in the
children of our community in a safe and loving environment. Many of our kids each year come from
the Multiple Assistance Center (MAC) and the Eureka Rescue Mission. Besides generous donations
from individual church members, major funding for the camp came from Redwood Community Ac-
tion Agency (RCAA) and Episcopal Community Services (ECS), a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese
of Northern California. ECS provides congregations in the diocese with mission development grants
for health and social ministry programs in their local communities.
Check out the Christ Church Facebook page to see more pictures. And see the poster in the Heritage
Room for even more pictures and a list of all the generous people from our congregation who gave of

17
their time, talent and treasure!

Paul Tegels and Dana Robinson , duo organists

19
Nationally Known Duo Organists to perform at Christ Church

Christ Church will host two outstanding organists in a duet recital, on Sunday afternoon September
21 at 3:00 PM. The concert, which is presented by the Organ Concerts at Christ Church series, fea-
tures organists Dana Robinson, who is Associate Professor of Organ in the School of Music at the
University of Illinois, and Paul Tegels, who is Associate Professor of Music and University Organist
at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA.

As many of you have found out last month with the Merry Phillips/Doug Moorehead concert, duet
recitals can be very entertaining as well as musically inspiring. In this particular program, some of
the music that will be presented was composed for a mechanical clock, and this means that the com-
poser felt no requirement to compose so that one person alone would have to be able to perform the
music; the barrel mechanism in the clock was capable of containing any number of notes at one
time and containing any kind of juxtaposing of sounds, no matter how technically impossible the
result might be for one person to perform. Two organists presumably will have a better chance of
realizing the composer's intentions, with four hands and feet to play the notes.

The program will include at least three works for mechanical clock: Andante and Variations, KV
501 by Mozart; Adagio fur die Flotenuhr (flute), WoO 33-1 by Beethoven; and the mighty Fantasy
in f minor, KV 608 by Mozart. This latter work is not the kind of music that one would expect from
a mechanical clock, since it involves massive, minor-mode blocks of sound and contrapuntal fugal
episodes that culminate in a brilliant flourish of sound. Our Kegg pipe organ should be a superb
vehicle for this music!

Another interesting selection on the program will be a transcription of Dance Macabre, a tone poem
for violin and orchestra composed by Camille Saint-Saens. The music describes a Halloween mid-
night, when the devil opens up the graves of corpses and the skeletons dance to a tune played by the
devil on the violin. The dance finally ceases when the cock crows at dawn and the skeletons return
to their resting places.

The two organists have similar academic training and consequently are very familiar with each oth-
er's style of playing, very helpful for performing a duet concert! They both have received the Mas-
ter of Music degree from the New England Conservatory, studying with Yuko Hayashi, and they
both hold a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Iowa. In addition, they have both
been associated with the Westfield Center for Early Keyboard Studies.

Dr. Robinson performs regularly for the American Guild of Organists and for national conventions
of the Organ Historical Society. His performance of J.S. Bach's ORGELBUCHLEIN can be heard
on the ARSIS label.

Dr. Tegels, a native of the Netherlands, is the recipient of a Fulbright scholarship from the Nether-
lands-America Commission for Educational Exchange. He has performed extensively in solo and
ensemble concerts in the United States, Europe, Japan, and New Zealand.

Come and hear these two fine organists, both acknowledged experts in the field of keyboard perfor-
mance practice. You will enjoy this experience!

There will be a donation requested at the door to help us meet expenses involved with producing
this concert.

Clo from 5 to 7 (French: Clo de 5 7) is a 1962 Left Bank film by Agns Varda. The story starts
with a young singer, Florence Clo Victoire, at 5pm on June 22, as she waits until 6:30 p.m. to
hear the results of a medical test that will possibly confirm a diagnosis of cancer. The film is noted
for its handling of several of the themes of existentialism, including discussions of mortality, the idea
of despair, and leading a meaningful life. The film has a strong feminine viewpoint and raises ques-
tions about how women are perceived. The role of mirrors are prevalent to symbolize self-obsession.
The film includes cameos by Jean-Luc Godard, Anna Karina, Eddie Constantine and Jean-Claude
Brialy as characters in the silent film Raoul shows Clo and Dorothe, while composer Michel
Legrand, who wrote the films score, plays Bob the pianist. It was entered into the 1962 Cannes
Film Festival.
