Plus there is a lot of other great information below the meeting announcement. Katie Subject: FW: [CVCA] Charles Village News & Events: March 7, 2007 CVCA GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING: Wednesday 3/28: NEW LOCATION! We will hold our March 28, 2007 meeting in the cafeteria of Margaret Brent Elementary School, located at 100 E. 26th Street. We will begin at 7:00 p.m. Food and beverages will be provided! The Principal of Margaret Brent, Dr. Jacqueline Waters Scofield, will attend the 3/28 meeting and share information regarding her vision of how the CVCA and community at large can assist the school in its efforts to become one of Baltimore's "jewel schools". This meeting site and outreach to Margaret Brent responds to several suggestions that Charles Village residents (and of course, the CVCA membership) partner with Margaret Brent. Mayor Sheila Dixon has been invited to attend either the March 28th meeting or the May 30th meeting. We hope to hear from her office this week as to which meeting she will be able to attend. Margaret Brent would be a great location for holding a meeting with the Mayor! We hope to hold our next general membership meeting (in May) either at Barclay School or, again, at Margaret Brent. ******** ~ Baltimore Free University Registration ~ March 7th-15th Registration will kick off with a "meet and greet" with the BFU instructors on Wednesday, March 7th, 6:00 - 7:30pm at the VLP, 2521 St. Paul Street.

It is for a service that recognizes the Police, Fire Department, and Paramedics of Baltimore City. Please send it on as you see fit. The Annual Baltimore 'BLUE MASS' A Community-wide Service of Prayer for the Police, Fire-fighters, and Paramedic Teams of Baltimore City Tuesday, 24 April, 6.30 PM SAINT JOHN'S CHURCH 3009 GREENMOUNT AVENUE Greenmount Avenue at Thirtieth Street A Reception follows the Service to thank our Fire-fighters, Police, and Paramedic Teams for all their good work on our behalf. N.B. This is a sacred Service of Prayer to help meet the Pastoral needs of the men and women of the Police and Fire Departments, sponsored by Saint John's Church as an act of gratitude for the many acts of courage and sacrifice made on our behalf. This sacred time and place of reconciliation is NOT the forum for complaints or politics! Could you do it?? Could you do what they do? Could you rush into raging flames for a stranger? Could you put yourself between a gun and someone you've never met? Could you chase down and tackle someone twice you size? Could you carry out a dead child to its parents? Could you put in the IV drip? Could you close a gaping, bleeding wound? They can, and do- your fire-fighters, police and paramedics. They do it on a weekly basis. Why have a service of prayer for our Police, Fire-fighters, and Paramedic Teams? Because these individuals do for our city and its communities what we ourselves are not able to do, or choose not to do, but know needs to be done; because they engage in work which is both physically and spiritually dangerous on our behalf and in our place; because for us these individuals routinely expose themselves to an underground society and the underside of ordinary life that most of us can scarcely imagine. A public service of prayer is a gift to them which makes us mindful of their particular need for spiritual support, and of our responsibility to help them to bear what we ask of them. There is a long tradition in Baltimore of a religious service for the Legal Profession, commonly called the "Red Mass" because of the colour of the vestments of the clergy for the patron saint of the Profession. In this case, because Fire-fighters, Police, and Paramedics all have different patron saints, a common date was chosen: the feast of Saint George, a martyred Christian soldier (ca.304 AD) who was devoted to the ideals of his faith, the duty of his office, and who gave his life in the course of service. He is honoured for his courage and devotion to his companions, for his fearless willingness to put himself in danger for others, and above all for the zeal of his faith. The special colour of his day would customarily be the red of a martyr, or white, which can always be used for any saint. It is a happy coincidence that in the English customs followed at Saint John's Church, blue is an equivalent substitute for white, and so our offering of a "Blue Mass", is especially appropriate for "our men and women in blue". The Service takes the form of a Christian rite and uses Christian language, but it is prayer to the God of us all, the God of every language, people and nation. Everyone is invited to enter into the prayer, the Spirit, and the meaning of this Service as deeply as possible. If the forms seem somewhat traditional, it is because Christian worship is very ancient, and because its language deliberately recalls the eternal presence of those who have gone before us in life, faith, and hope. The forms are Christian, but the prayer is universal, embracing the living with the dead and soaring through God's eternity which we experience as our present. The form of prayer for this Service is our most sacred ritual, in which Christians believe Holy Communion may be made with God himself, and with those who have loved Him. In this rite we offer to God our praise, our prayers for ourselves and on behalf of others, our sorrow for wrong-doing, our promise of renewal, and all our very being. We join these to the supreme offering of the Son of God who gave his own life as a ransom for many. On this occasion, baptised Christians who are communicant members in good standing in their own church are encouraged to receive the Holy Communion. Those whose faith does not permit the reception of Holy Communion in other Churches, non-Christians, or those who for any reason whatsoever are unable to join in receiving the Holy Sacrament, are invited to come forward with others at the time of Holy Communion to receive instead a personal blessing by the priest. We hope that everyone will engage in all aspects of the Service and in the Holy Spirit in which it is offered. We encourage you to come to this celebration with a heart full of gratitude, and full of prayer for those who serve, protect, and preserve us as our Police, Fire-fighters, and Paramedic Teams. ...The People, Rector, Churchwardens and Vestry of Saint John's in the Village -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
