The Corner Office
The Deacon’s Beacon
A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious
stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was
hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The
hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it
to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his
good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security
for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to
the woman. “I’ve been thinking,” he said, “I know how valuable the
stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something
even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled
you to give me the stone.”
Well, it’s spring, a time of new beginnings. The flowers are
in bloom, the trees are in leaf, and we have just celebrated
the resurrection of our Lord. As you read this I will be
experiencing a new world for me, the Holy Land. I expect
to be moved by walking in the places where Jesus and the
patriarchs lived and walked, and I hope to learn more about
the peoples of that ancient land.
—Unknown
She can’t give him what it is he asks for, of course, because
he’s asking for something he must find on his own—
something we all must find on own: that sweet deep peace in
our souls. The peace that passes all understanding. A peace
to fill the openings in our souls.
I’ve been meeting with many of you over the last few
weeks—which is a great joy—and one of the questions I ask
when talking with people is why they come to church or
what they hope to find when they come. They all respond
with some variation on the same theme: they come because
at church they find that deep, dazzling peace—even if just
for an hour or so. They come because the world is as it
should be just for a little while. They come to remember
who they are, and whose they are, to regain the Spirit that
sends them out for another week.
Our beloved and sacred sanctuary, the place where we
gather for our sustenance and spirit, is in need of renewal. A
space reflective of our compassion for others, our ministries,
and our abiding love for God and for one another is a
dynamic component of worship, of our life together.
Our parish is beginning a new adventure and I’m excited to
get started. Because in the midst of the ministry and hard
work we do, we also all know how to have fun together…
lots of fun!
—Susan+
It seems that we have been experiencing much negativity of
late, much that could lead us to despair. Terrorist
bombings are on the rise; there is more and more hatred in
the world directed toward the West; and our government
and political system seems to be getting more and more
dysfunctional.
But as we are reminded on Easter: He is risen. The
Kingdom of God is here. Whether we realize it or not, we
are experiencing a new beginning, not only in nature but in
the world.
A recent David Brooks editorial in the New York Times
reminded me of Psalm 73, known as a meditation on the
justice of God. It talks about a world filled with evil people
who “suffer no pain...wear their pride like a necklace and
wrap violence around them like a cloak...and so the people
turn to them and find in them no fault.”
When we see people like this in our world today it is easy to
despair, but the psalm goes on to offer hope:
Truly, those who forsake you will perish;
You destroy all who are unfaithful.
But it is good for me to be near God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge.
It is easy to despair, like the disciples did after the
crucifixion. We cannot see God’s plan but we know that
He is risen, and we can be full of hope because the Lord is
with us. It is indeed a time of new beginnings.
—Deacon Skip
Opening Day
April starts a little wobbly and the halfway point is no
treat either. We’re played for suckers on the first and we
acknowledge life’s inevitabilities on the fifteenth. But in
between comes Opening Day—the wonderful moment
when every team is in first place and hope swells in every
heart.
There’s April for you. Uncertainty. Elation!
Despondency.
But April doesn’t have a monopoly on emotional lability:
every calendar has its highs and lows, just like a baseball
season. A few years ago Roger Angell described the
faithful Red Sox fans, joyful in the promise of the
spring—the smiling farmer, listening to the radio as he
mows the June hay… the happy hikers climbing the
Green Mountains, trading scores as they pass on the
trail… the Maine lobstermen, calling last night’s results
from boat to boat in the morning fog.
And then… day by day the summer passes—and the
glowering farmer gathers his last crops in silence…
descending hikers exchange sad nods under yellow
leaves… the lobstermen work sullen and quiet in the cold
September mornings.
Alas, the bitter season of despair!
Younger Red Sox fans probably don’t understand the
story. Boston’s cycle of perennial heartbreak ended
several years ago and no one talks about The Curse
anymore. But you can still ask a fan of the Cubs or the
Indians how it feels to accumulate a lifetime of annually
dashed hopes. You could ask a fan of the football
Cardinals—the Cardinals have played in three different
cities since the team won its last championship.
For that matter, our own baseball Giants won their last
New York World Series in 1954, and their first San
Francisco World Series in 2010, and it was a long ride,
wasn’t it? The earth traveled about 33 billion miles
between those two Giants championships.
Each team starts the year anticipating the best—hang the
odds and stats! As the page turns from March to April,
fans around the country stomp and whistle on Opening
Day with the same bright smiles and high hopes that they
had last year… and the year before… and the year
before… as if to prove the triumph of hope over
experience, as Samuel Johnson once said in a different
context.
2
Heaven knows the phenomenon isn’t limited to baseball.
Ecclesiastes tells us that everything has its season… and
look how many seasons there are! The editor took a quick
inventory of his own refrigerator door and found seven
different calendars—the “regular” calendar from the
insurance agency, an Episcopal church calendar, a school
calendar, and schedules for four different sports teams.
Each one has its own unique cycle of celebration, reflection,
and emotional peaks and valleys.
Consider the liturgical calendar—we cycle through a load of
emotion on that one, needless to say. The celebration of
Christmas is preceded by four weeks of reflection and
anticipation in Advent, and the celebration of Easter is
preceded by six weeks of pensive Lent.
On other calendars time can be relative, but the highs and
lows are always there. For example, the school year isn’t a
year at all—it’s a lifetime to a grade school student, a
twinkling to parents watching their kids grow up, and nine
months to everyone else. It opens with apprehension,
proceeds through days of fear and joy, and ends with the
celebration of graduation.
Many of the other seasons that fill our days have emotional
ups and downs, too. There are seasons for hunting and
fishing—times of hope for all, disappointment for many,
and joy for some, though maybe not for the deer or the fish.
There’s the holiday season, as in “Season’s Greetings,”
which packs a year’s worth of buying frenzy and nervous
anticipation into one mere month.
And oh, if only we could get through the highs and lows of
the election season more quickly!
In the same way that basketball, hockey, and baseball all
overlap in April, different seasons overlap at various points
in our lives. We can be focussed and reflective in Advent
and at the same time take cutthroat advantage of every
holiday sale at the mall. We can go nuts for our favorite
college basketball teams in March and still appreciate the
solemnity of Lent. One part of being human is seasonal
multitasking.
Another part of being human is recognizing that every
calendar measures a cycle from promise to reflection and
back to promise. We live our days knowing that Lent comes
after every Mardi Gras and that the joy of Christmas arrives
just as fall passes into winter.
And part of being human is also taking note of the moments
of unalloyed pleasure when they come along, because
heaven knows they don’t come often enough. When the
umpire says, “Play ball!” who among us doesn’t yearn to
The Keys of St. Peter’s
play hooky? What a joy to have one day in every spring
when you can call in sick, drive to the ballpark, and walk
into the stands, from the dark to the light, see the green
field glowing and the promise of summer stretching
ahead, and know that for one brief, sparkling moment
your team is undefeated… regardless of whatever comes
next! 
From the Vestry
The April Vestry meeting was combined with the annual
Vestry retreat, scheduled for Saturday, April 16—after this
issue went to press.
Topics on the agenda at the retreat include long-term
planning and exploring the Vestry’s vision for the coming
year. The Keys will provide a full report in the May issue.
In the meantime, questions and concerns can be addressed
to any member of the Vestry.
Countess Cathleen
Women’s Retreat: 2016
The spring women’s retreat is an annual St. Peter’s
tradition. Why not join in?
This year’s retreat will be at Bishop’s Ranch in Healdsburg
on the weekend of June 10 to 12 and (as always) it’s an
inviting proposition.
We asked Mother Susan to tell us more. “We take two
days, from Friday evening to Sunday noon, to refresh and
renew our souls, bodies, and relationships,” she said.
“Bishop’s Ranch may be two hours away, but it offers a
glorious array of opportunities. We can each do all that
we wish to do… and we’ll all come home renewed.”
Circle Sunday, April 24 on your calendar! At 6:00 pm a
group of parishioners will gather for a dramatic reading of
William Butler Yeats’s gripping play The Countess Cathleen.
The play was inspired by Irish folklore, but it has serious
overtones for our world today. At the height of a famine,
two merchants arrive in town, offering to buy the souls of
starving peasants. Are they peddlars… or demons? And the
saintly countess—she’s sold all her worldly possessions to
feed the poor peasants. What can she give the merchants?
You won’t find out if you don’t come!
Participants include Bryce Abramson, Su Boocock, Angelo
Castellucci, Jim Frieman, Eli Goulden, Ted Hardie, Sue
Mitchell, Mother Susan, Olivia Siri, Peggie Trei, and
Charlene Wieser.
Bay Area actor Richard Talavera will make a guest
appearance. Neva Hutchinson is acting and directing.
The play will be followed by a discussion led by Mother
Susan. Coffee, wine, and snacks will be served.
Donations are gratefully accepted but not required ($10 is
suggested). 
Cost of the weekend, including five meals, is $225.
Scholarships are available, and carpools will be organized
as the date approaches.
Mark your calendar now! And for more information, see
Mother Susan. 

A younger member of the congregation told us that you
can’t run through a campground. The reason is that you’re
always running past tents. 

Capital Campaign: Making Dreams Real
St. Peter’s 2016 capital campaign is off to a strong start—
exciting news for parish and parishioners alike!
“Banks of anchored pews restrict our ability to use the
sanctuary for events like concerts and community meetings,”
said Mother Susan. “And we’re not putting our best foot
forward when visitors see empty seats on Sundays. That’s
why flexible seating is high on the list of items to
investigate.”
The primary goal of the campaign is to provide funds for
repair and refurbishing of the church sanctuary—a bigger
project than our regular annual budget allows. And the
campaign will support other vital Episcopal ministries in
the Bay Area as well.
Our parish’s ability to take on a large scale project like
sanctuary renovation naturally depends on the generosity of
our parishioners. The parish “wish list” for capital funds
includes…
Mother Susan announced the campaign’s official kick-off
in a letter to all parish families on April 1. As of press
time, members of the campaign committee have begun to
visit parish families, and so far parishioner response has
been generous and gratifying. If you haven’t been
contacted yet, expect to hear from a committee member
soon.
-Replacing the sanctuary floors and carpets
-Configuring flexible seating
-Installing an improved sound system and better lighting
-Renovating the sacristy: new carpet, cabinetry, and sink.
-Expanding the altar area
-Constructing a narthex at the sanctuary entrance
-Painting the church exterior
In the meantime, here’s a little more info on the
campaign.
The parish has set a fundraising target of $270,000, which
would be enough for us to make significant progress on
many of the items on our list. In the end, how far we’re able
to go will be up to the congregation.
Called Expanding Horizons, the campaign is being
conducted in partnership with Bishop Marc Andrus and
the Diocese of California, and a number of other parishes
in the Diocese are participating along with St. Peter’s. In
addition to providing funds for important parish projects,
the campaign will support some important diocesan
programs.
Here at St. Peter’s, Mother Susan and the Vestry believe
that our most pressing capital needs center around the
sanctuary building. Campaign chairperson Rebecca
Schenone has said that sacred space like the sanctuary
“elevates our spirits to a different time and place.” But
sacred spaces need physical care—and some of the
challenges we’re facing today date back to 1952 when the
sanctuary was built.
In the “Dreaming” gatherings last fall—and in many
conversations since—parishioners have encouraged
church leadership to expand outreach and to make our
facilities as broadly useful as possible.
Rebecca told the Keys: “The sanctuary could be used by
many more community groups if important areas like
seating, acoustics, and lighting were improved and
updated. And it’s painfully obvious that the cork flooring
and carpet are in urgent need of replacement.”
Needless to say, work on the floor will require removal of
the pews, which makes this an especially good time to
think about seating.
4
As a participating parish in the Expanding Horizons campaign,
St. Peter’s will retain 70 cents of every dollar raised until we
reach our target and 95 cents of every dollar over the target.
The rest is shared with the Diocese.
It’s worth adding that the Diocese’s share of the Expanding
Horizons campaign will be used for some very worthy
projects, including…
-Diocese-wide congregational development
-Improvements to Bishop’s Ranch and St. Dorothy’s Rest
-Endowment of a diocesan environmental chaplain
-Partnerships with the Dioceses of Haiti and Jerusalem
-Climate change and sustainability initiatives
-Plans for better use of diocesan properties
-Search for new solutions to the root causes of poverty
Expanding Horizons is a five-year campaign, and pledges will
be fulfilled over five years. That makes it possible for
parishioners to spread payments over a relatively long
period, and donors can make monthly, quarterly, annual, or
semi-annual payments.
For convenience, payments can be made by check, credit
card, or EFT. Pledges of stocks and other securities are also
accepted. And many companies will make matching gifts—
something well worth asking about at work.
Every family’s financial situation is unique, and not every
parish family can contribute at the same level. But all
The Keys of St. Peter’s
parishioners can participate at a level that reflects the
important role that St. Peter’s plays in their lives.
Embracing the comments of many parishioners, the
Vestry agreed last year that the parish’s major goals should
include broader use of the sanctuary and more outreach.
What makes the Expanding Horizons campaign so appealing
is that it carries us closer to both goals.
Our spiritual home is a special place, and the work of the
parish is deeply meaningful. The church brings God into
the lives of young children… gives our teens and tweens a
huge opportunity to contribute to the less fortunate…
ministers to our neighbors here in Redwood City… and
provides a beautiful, sacred space where all are welcome to
worship together.
Consider the parish’s big contribution to your life… and
think big when you consider your contribution to the
parish. Your fellow parishioners have been very generous.
Mother Susan said, “Now is the right time to bring our
dreams one step closer to reality.” 
Ascension Sunday at Stanford
In keeping with tradition, the Lutheran and Episcopal
congregations of the Peninsula will celebrate the
Ascension together with the Episcopal Lutheran Campus
Ministry at Stanford on May 5th at 7:30 pm in Stanford’s
Memorial Church.
The Halo Award
We’re pretty stingy with our haloes around here and we
usually dole them out sparingly—one per month, maybe two
at the most. But we’re throwing caution to the wind in this
issue, and handing them out in bulk.
That’s because it takes a lot of people to manage a capital
campaign, and there’s a bunch of talented and dedicated
people on the committee running the Expanding Horizons
campaign here at St. Peter’s.
We could start by saying that People’s Warden Rebecca
Schenone has done a fantastic job as chairperson of the
committee: organizing, staying in touch, and keeping
everyone on the right track. Then there’s Joan Brumleve,
who’s managing all the paperwork—no small task. And may
we introduce the other hardworking members of the
committee, each in a dazzling new golden halo?
-Eleanor Antonakis
-Cari Pang Chen
-Teri Chin
-Jim Frieman
-Peter Hutchinson
-Pat McCarty
-John Nieman
It may be a labor of love… but it’s still labor.
When one of these dedicated volunteers comes to see you,
we hope you’ll offer a warm welcome. And swing the door
wide—those are some big haloes!
This year, former presiding bishop of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America, Pastor Mark Hanson will
preach and the combined choirs of churches from around
the Peninsula will sing. All are welcome!

Thinking About Space
People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge
waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass
of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by
themselves without wondering.
—St. Augustine
In our 151 years the Church of St. Peter’s has had several
homes and thousands of parishioners. And you know,
we probably don’t pause and think about our space and
ourselves as often as we could.
We associate joyful sounds with special spaces…
And we associate people with special spaces, too—
parishioners who came before us…
No one alive today remembers going to the Little Red
Church… but we imagine there was beautiful light inside
that church and a wonderful wood scent.
…and parishioners who will grow as our spiritual journeys
continue.
The murals in our old nursery room are just a memory…
but a pleasant one for any parishioner who spent a happy
childhood hour in its walls.
Everyone has strong emotional associations with certain
spaces. You might say that what makes space sacred is
inside us.
6
The Keys of St. Peter’s
Sacred space makes it possible for us to think about things
that we might not think about anywhere else… like hope…
We have special relationships with the people we worship
with… and a special relationship to our worship space.
…and how it spreads.
In many ways the two go hand-in-hand. The fellowship
we share is enhanced by the space in which we share it.
Our space is a gift from the parishioners who came before
us. What gifts will we leave for parishioners to come?

Peeking Through the Keyhole
Kid Stuff
The younger set needs a few good storytellers—how about
you?
Godly Play is a great program that keeps our children
engaged in reflection and other activities related to the Bible,
spirituality in general, and basic Christian values like helping
others.
News and Shameless Gossip
Did you have a blast at Rebecca Schenone’s party on
April 2? You’re in good company if you did! Great
food… a beautiful evening… and a very gracious
hostess…
New office hours! If business takes you to the parish
office, don’t let it take you any time other than between
9:00 am and 1:00 pm, Monday through Thursday…
A reminder that yoga is a great way to relieve stress and
stay fit. Lorraine Desser Schulze leads classes in the
parish hall at 9:00 am every Tuesday and 10:00 am every
Friday. Each session is an hour and 15 minutes…
And wasn’t it great to see Father Greeley at the altar for
three April Sundays? 
Siblings in Song
Volunteers plan an activity, story, or another lesson to
engage with the children. Sessions last about 30 minutes
during the first half of the 10:30 service. The kids rejoin the
rest of the congregation in time for the Peace and
Communion.
Cari Pang Chen, who coordinates Christian education for
the younger children, tells us that she’s looking for adult
storytellers to assist through mid-June. She adds, “This is a
great opportunity to reintroduce classic bible stories to our
children, particularly younger children or those newer to the
church.”
During the Summer months, Charlene Weiser has agreed to
be more involved in helping to read bible stories with the
children during Godly Play at the 10:30 am service.
A ton of material, including a schedule, manual, and lessons,
is available online at

and advice? Contact Cari at 650 274-8643 or

The Ragazzi Boys Chorus is holding a co-ed concert at St.
Peter’s on Saturday, April 30, at 1:30 pm.
You’d think that would be a tough act for a boys’ choir to
pull off, but as it turns out, the Ragazzi Young Men’s
Ensemble and Peninsula Girls Chorus Ensemble have a
long history of collaboration, and the two groups will
share the stage on the 30th.
Folks at Ragazzi assure us that the combined forces will
keep toes tapping.
Selections include pieces by Schubert and Mendelssohn,
along with Franz Biebl’s “Ave Maria,” some American
folk tunes, and modern musical selections featured in
films such as Frozen, O Brother Where Art Thou? and
Mulan.

Easter!
Our team of expert photographers was out in force on
Easter, and boy, they sure had a lot of people to shoot!
It seemed like everybody and his brother came to church.
Theres’s something very enticing about a bunch of plastic
eggs full of candy… and every year we prove that all over
again. We can’t wait for next year!
The A Team was on hand in every department, and at the
end of the service there was a smile on every face.
