From the Rector...
“ And the one who was seated on the throne said,
‘Behold, I am making all things new.’
...Then he said,
‘ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.’”
from The Revelation of St John the Divine 21.5-6
Dear Members of All Saints’ Parish Family
As we enter a new year, it is good to remember that, as Christians, our lives are hidden in the One who was
before time, who will be when time is no more, and who is with us always. As St Paul spoke, “In him we live
and move and have our being” [Acts 17.28]
A New Year gives us the opportunity to see with fresh eyes those things we leave behind, as we look forward
to new possibilities ahead of us. As we complete our Parish Assessment within the Diocesan Strategic Plan,
we are invited to look around and within to see what we might do and be, here and now, to fulfil the will of
God for our lives and the life of our Parish.
I give thanks to God for each member of our parish family, and like St Paul, am “confident that He who began
a good work in us will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ.” [see Philippians 1.3-5] I give thanks
for each one of you who generously gave of time, talent and treasure over the Christmas season, whether
with Starfish, the giving tree, other ministry needs of our parish, or the many and various services and special
events that are part of our fabric at All Saints’. Thank you for your kindness and generosity to our church
family, to me personally, and to those beyond our walls.
The first Sunday of the New Year [06 January] is the Feast of the Epiphany which celebrates the visit of the
magi [the wise ones!] to the infant Jesus. In their wisdom, they sought out the promise of God, and when they
found Him, bowed down in worship and offered all that was most precious, to them, to the One born to be
King of Kings and Lord of Lords [see Matthew 2.1-12]. May we continue to seek and worship and offer. The
10.00 am service will be our Family Service, with our younger saints dressed in ’period’ costume. It is a joy,
and a blessing, to have our children, young people and families actively involved in our worship.
Epiphany is a wonderful time to welcome people into our homes. That same afternoon [06 January], I invite
each one of you to my home, for my annual Open House. [76 Florence Street West, 3.00-6.00 pm] Drop by
anytime! Younger saints & older saints - everyone is welcome!
On 20 January we will welcome ‘home’, the Rev’d Nancy Ringham as our preacher. Nancy, who is now a
priest in West Thunder Bay, along with her husband Bill were members of our All Saints’ Parish family for
many years when they lived in Huntsville.
We end the month of January with our Annual Vestry Meeting, on Sunday 27 January, in the church, following
our 10 am Service. We come together as a parish, looking forward, with thanksgiving, to the years ahead,
remembering that our sufficiency is Jesus Christ our Lord, in whom all is contained, and who makes all things
new.
I pray, as St John prayed, that each of us may ‘prosper and be in health even as our soul prospers’ [3 John 2]
and that all of us may have a new year filled with the presence of our Lord as he leads us and guides us in His
will and way.
Yours, with love thanksgiving, in the peace of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour,
The Venerable Dawn Henderson +
Rector
New Year’s Greetings from the Wardens
By the time you read this, Advent and Christmas will have passed. It is our hope
that you have had a joyous and blessed Christmas season as you celebrated the
birth of Christ with family, friends and your All Saints’ church family.
December was a busy month at All Saints’ as saints in many ways tried to reach out to our
community and be Christ’s presence in acts of love and compassion during the Christmas
season.
Marj Payne along with Patti Payne and team worked hard to organize and distribute your Christmas
gifts as well as food hampers to recipients of the Giving Tree and Star Fish
programs. Many Huntsville homes will have a much better Christmas as a result of their efforts and
your generosity.
On a freezing cold evening, thanks to Joy Gervais and friends,
All Saints’ was a presence and part of the Santa Claus parade.
Thank you to Kaye Fowler and Carol Corry for organizing the
Christmas Bazaar and Tea. Thank you to all who helped,
baked, made sandwiches, decorated, and in any way donated
time and energy. It was a fun time together and resounding
success. The result made a significant dent in the deficit.
Thank you!
Thank you to Joanne Cunnington and team for organizing a
wonderful church Family Christmas Dinner. It was a full
house (106!) and an evening of great fellowship, fine food, and
good fun. The evening finished with carol singing and a visit from Santa.
As a follow-up to our book study, a small group gathered to share reflections for our Vision and
Vitality assessment. Many diverse and excellent ideas were shared. It is hoped that some of these
ideas can be realized. It was thought that to move our church forward on many levels, we need to
continue to focus on building community by having more small groups gather for a variety of
purposes. These groups would include gatherings for prayer, study, as well as various types of social
interaction / projects.
The Property Committee is pleased to finally get through the frustrating but necessary ‘red tape’
and to realize progress on ASH. The weather provided a window of opportunity to get the roof
shingled just before the Christmas snowfall. Under the direction of Bill Nunn (site manager) and
the Property Committee renovation is now underway. We will keep you
updated.
Wishing you a blessed New Year as together we hold God’s hand and attempt to share His love in a
broken world. We ask and pray that he holds a light on our path and gives us courage to
listen and follow his guidance.
Wishing you a blessed New Year, The Wardens

arrive to help give the Seafarers the most we can.

Outreach
The last and ninth box of warm, winter clothing was filled and shipped
to the Mission for Seafarers, Thunder Bay. Winter started early this year and the
warm clothes are welcomed. We may continue this project longer or start earlier.
Watch for further information.
Donations from the Narthex Outreach Box totalled $47.80. Thank you to everyone who donated
Canadian Tire coupons and money. This will be used for emergency Christmas shopping.
The Outreach account had $200 to be spent before year end. It
has been learned that Ramesh Ferris has spent his adult life
promoting the eradication of polio worldwide. [Only one case
was reported in India last year.!] He continues to work diligently
to provide polio vaccine in other countries AND this year his
project is to fund polio vaccine for Aboriginal Canadians. Team
members all agreed to support this important dream and voted to
donate the $200 to this worthy campaign.
Many of us remember family friends and children afflicted with polio – a life changing illness.
Ramesh overcame his disabilities and has made it his life work to ensure vaccine is available to
all. (Remember his ride across Canada in 2000? We followed his journey (hand cycling) from BC
to Newfoundland.
[Ramesh, born in India, developed polio as an infant and was adopted by Bishop Ronald Ferris
and his wife. Married this past
summer, Remesh lives in the

Parish News: the deadline for our next issue is Friday 18 January. Please submit
articles and pictures about life at All Saints’ to aspn@allsaintshuntsville.ca With thanks. The due
date for articles is generally the Friday 9 days before the last Sunday of the month [so that we have
time to prepare and print the newsletter before the end of the month].
To understand the Bible, says author and pastor Randy Frazee,
you need bifocal lenses, because two perspectives are involved.
The Lower Story, our story, is actually many stories of men and women interacting with God in the daily course of life. The Upper Story is God's story, the
tale of his great, overarching purpose that fits all the individual stories together like panels in one unified mural.
The Story video curriculum will open your eyes to God's master-plan unfolding
in the lives of the Bible's characters-and in your own life. Discover the heart of
God's Upper Story, and the joy that comes as you align your story with God's.
You Are Invited

THE PRIMATE’S WORLD RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT FUND:
PWRDF Begins 5-year $2 million Health Care Program
The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund is undertaking, with the financial support
of the Government of Canada provided through the Canadian International Development Agency
(CIDA), a health care project in South Africa. PWRDF will contribute half a million dollars over five
years towards the $2 million project that will focus on preventing HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis among
pregnant women in the Ngqushwa district of the Eastern Cape, South Africa.
“This project will train village health workers to run education programs in their communities about
prevention of and care for people infected and affected by HIV and AIDS and TB,” said Adele Finney,
Executive Director of PWRDF. “The HIV infection rate in Ngqushwa district is 17.5% in the general
population, and a staggering 33-45% amongst pregnant women. Those who are HIV positive in the
region are at a greater risk of contracting TB. The project will therefore encourage HIV and TB
testing, especially among child-bearing women and their partners. A family-centred approach will
improve the survival rate of infants and children, as well as their mothers.”
The program will reach about 30,000 people in the region, increasing access by 43% to anti-retroviral
drugs among children under 16, through the South African government’s HIV and AIDS Directorate. It
will mobilize communities to promote HIV and TB prevention, care, and testing, and provide
counseling to pregnant women and specialized training to government health providers.
Over the five years of the program, HIV and TB infection rates will decrease as awareness of and support for testing, prevention, and treatment increase, especially among children in the region. The
village health workers recruited and trained by this program will promote
HIV and AIDS education, testing, early access to health care and treatment
for patients before they become chronically ill.

PWRDF rep; or go to www.pwrdf.org

Matthew 2
The Magi who visited Jesus some time after His
birth are a very familiar sight on Christmas cards;
there are songs written about them — We Three
Kings; Wise Men Seeking Jesus.
It is very likely that the magi had with them
a group of people:
servants, helpers,
perhaps some of their family. It was not
safe to travel such a long distance alone.
After a 2 month journey, they arrived near
to their destination, but they turned toward
Jerusalem. They assumed that King Herod
would know that a new King of the Jews had
been born. Herod’s advisors said that the
Scriptures were clear: the expected King
was to be born in Bethlehem. So the magi
continued toward the place where the star
had stopped — Bethlehem.
When the magi found the place where Mary,
Joseph and Jesus were staying, they fell
down before the little child to worship Him.
The magi presented their gifts:
gold,
frankincense and myrrh—gifts worthy of the
King of Kings.
Then God warned them in a dream that they
should not return to Herod, but go home
another way. And, wisely, they did so.

St Matthew tells the story of the visit of the magi.
He does not say there were only 3; he does not say
there were only men! 700 years before Jesus was
born, the Prophet Isaiah wrote that wealthy people
from the East would travel on camels bearing gifts of
gold and frankincense
St Matthew writes that the magi saw a brilliant star
in the night sky. This star, or perhaps a star so
close to one or two planets that it appeared unusually
bright, indicated to the magi that a King had been
born to the Jewish people. They were so amazed by
the star and what it indicated that they left their
homes and set off for the Promised Land.

Colossians
W h o
W r o t e
Colossians? St Paul. It
is thought that Timothy
served as his secretary.
When was the Gospel
written?
Around 62
AD a few years before
Paul was beheaded in
Rome by the Emperor
Nero.
W h er e
W as
It
Written? Paul wrote
the letter from prison
in Rome. It is one of
4 “prison epistles”
Paul wrote while he
was under house
arrest: Philippians,
Ephesians, Colossians
and Philemon.
To whom was the
letter written? To the
Christians in the small
city of Colossae. The
Church was founded by
a man named Epaphras
who had heard Paul
preach while Paul was
in Ephesus. Paul asks
that the letter also be
read in the Church in
Laodicea.
Why was the letter
written? The Church
seems to have fallen
prey to those who would
mix Christianity with
paganism.
This,
syncretism, was leaving
believers with the idea
that Christ was not
sufficient in Himself.
Paul’s Letter to the Colossians
Colossians is a short epistle,
one of Paul’s “prison letters”.
He begins by assuring the
Christians in Colossae that he
is praying for them. He encourages them to grow in the
truth “so that you may lead
lives worthy of the Lord,
bearing fruit, growing in the
knowledge of God.” [1:10]
In his letter, Paul explains the
true nature and position of
Jesus Christ: He is the very
image of God; He is infinitely
superior to any false gods, or
earthly philosophy.
Before their conversion,
believers had lived in the
kingdom of darkness; but
through belief in Christ Jesus,
they had been transferred
into the Kingdom of God.
And Paul succinctly states the
goal of each Christian: to
become
“mature
in
Christ.” [1:28]
Some of the Colossians had
previously
trusted
in
philosophy. A few had fallen
into syncretism [mixing
Christianity, paganism and
philosophy],
regarding
Christian doctrine
as a
smorgasbord from which
one can pick and choose,
and to which one can add.
But true Christianity rests
fully on the Grace of God
and the redeeming sacrifice
of Jesus on the cross:
nothing more, nothing less,
nothing else.
And so Paul warns the
people, both of Colossae and
Laodicea,
against
false
philosophies, and assures
them that “all the treasures
of wisdom and knowledge”
can be understood in God—
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Paul reminds the Colossians
to “seek the things above” —
not being “so heavenly
minded they are no earthly
good” — to get rid of sins
[sexual sin, greed, anger...].
Instead believers are to
clothe themselves with godly
characteristics [see 3:12 below].
As he has in other letters, Paul
encourages a loving and godly
approach to all relationships:
husbands and wives, parents
and children, slaves and
masters. Paul is not promoting
slavery; rather, ever the realist,
he is taking life as it actually is,
and saying, Here is how to
conduct yourselves in a manner
which is pleasing to God.
Paul closes his letter by
commending those who work
with him; he is always generous
with praise and quick to give
credit and thanks where they
are due.
He mentions his
fellow workers in Rome, among
them
“Luke
the
physician” [Gospel writer] and
Mark [Gospel writer], the
cousin of Barnabas.
It is
believed that this is the same
Mark
with
whom
Paul
quarreled and parted company
many
years
earlier—all
relationships can be reconciled
in Christ!
Paul’s In His Own Words

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn 
of all creation; for in him
all things in heaven and on
earth were created, things
visible and invisible...For in
him all the fullness of God
was pleased to dwell, and 
through him God was
pleased to reconcile to
himself all things, whether
on earth or in heaven, by
making peace through the
blood of his cross. [1:15-
16, 19-20]
there is neither Greek
nor Jew, circumcised nor
uncircumcised,
barbarian,
Scythian,
slave nor free, but Christ
is all and in all. [3:11]
... clothe yourselves with
compassion, kindness,
humility, meekness, and
patience. Bear with one
another and, if anyone 
has a complaint against
another, forgive each
other; just as the Lord has
forgiven you, so you also
must forgive. Above all,
clothe yourselves with love,
which binds everything
together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of
Christ rule in your hearts...
And be thankful. Let the
word of Christ dwell in you
richly [from 3:12-16]
Whatever your task, put
yourselves into it, as done
for the Lord and not for
your masters [3:23]
