Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and

cried out to the Lord, “O Lord my God, let this child’s life

come into him again.” The Lord listened to the voice of

Elijah; the life of the child came into him again, and he

revived. - 1 Kings 17:20-22

When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and

said to her, “Do not weep.” Then he came forward and

touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said,

“Young man, I say to you, rise!” The dead man sat up and

began to speak, and Jesus[a] gave him to his mother. -

Luke 7:13-15

When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice,

“Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands

and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped

in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him

go.” - John 11:43-44

There are numerous stories in the bible where the dead

have been resurrected.

Here is some great information from an article sent to me

by one of our QAC members. The article is by Thom

Rainer and was in the Christian Post:

The Resuscitated Church

What about churches? Can a church experience a similar

miraculous recovery? ...I have seen a sufficient enough

number to make some concise observations. These obser-

vations are among the most encouraging events I have

ever witnessed.

How did these few churches go from near death to vibrant

life? Here are six steps on how they did it.

1. A prolonged period of prayer. The members knew

that only a miracle of God could save their church. So

they decided to set aside a period of prayer, usually a few

weeks or a couple of months. Members would gather after

the worship service. Some would gather in homes. They

would admit their total dependence on God. And they

would place everything about their churches at His mercy

and in His will.

2. A covenant to forsake self. When a church dies, there

is the predictable prologue of self-centered, self-serving

March 2017 membership. Church members argue about the style of

music, the length of the sermon, the types of ministries

and programs, and even the type of furniture in the

church. Membership becomes about me, myself, and I. In

the resuscitated church, the members covenant to put self

last. They agree they will not demand their way, but seek

to put others first. Some of the churches even create a

written covenant.

3. A willingness to kill sacred cows. This process is of-

ten an extension of the previous commitment. As the

members covenant to forsake self, they commit to doing

away with programs, ministries, events, rooms, furniture,

or anything that has become a sacred cow. They often

don’t see those sacred cows until their eyes have been

opened in the prolonged period of prayer.

4. A commitment to see through the eyes of the outsid-

er. As the members continue to forsake self, they begin to

ask how the church is viewed from the perspective of the

outsider. They may actually engage a person to visit their

church and share their experience. It is amazing to see

how this process transforms facilities, worship, greeters’

ministry, and children’s ministries, to name a few.

5. An agreement to connect and invite. Members com-

mit to be intentional about developing relationships with

people outside the church. They set prayer goals of how

many people they will invite to church each month. The

church begins moving from an inward focus to an outward

focus.

6. A decision to move beyond the negative naysayers.

This core of members realizes that not everyone will be on

board. There will always be those who view church as a

spiritual country club with perks and privileges. Indeed, in

most of these resuscitated churches, there was stiff re-

sistance, adamant opposition, and financial threats. But

the members were loving but firm. No longer would their

church be controlled by the naysayers, critics, and bullies.

They would stand together and stand with others who

were attacked and maligned.

Is church resuscitation common? No.

Is church resuscitation possible? Yes.

In God’s power, yes.

Are you willing to be a part of the resuscitation of your

church?

Paul Weisbecker has formerly been a member of Queen of

Apostles as part of his parents' household. Now, he and

Lindsey and their sons, Will & Sam, are members them-

selves. (Will is the shy one in this photo.) We are very hap-

py to welcome this lovely family into the QAC community.

Matt Hughes will be baptized, confirmed and receive first Eu-

charist at the Easter Vigil. He resides in Bellbrook with his

wife Molly. They are expecting their first child in May. He is

in his 12th year as an educator and teaches business courses at

Kettering Fairmont High School. Matt is a DECA advisor for

his career technical business program.

Matt also is the head coach of the boys’ and girls’ tennis pro-

gram at Fairmont. He is actively involved in the Miami Valley

Tennis Coaches Association and the Ohio Tennis Coaches As-

sociation.

Sue Davis will be confirmed and receive first Eucharist as

she is received into full communion at the Easter Vigil.

She lives in Belmont with her husband Jim. They are for-

tunate to have Sue’s daughter and son-in-law living next

door with grandsons Sebastian (age 4) and Mateo (15

months).

Sue is a retired adult probation officer from Greene Coun-

ty and a full-time Granny.

Social Justice

Martin Luther King Vision

Through the Prism of Judaism,

Christianity and Islam – An In-

terfaith Gathering

QAC members including Fr. Thom-

as Schroer joined approximately one hundred attendees of the Inter-

faith Gathering at Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Mosque on Janu-

ary 31, 2017. Three representatives from different faith that include

Rabbi Karen Bodney, Reverend Dr. Barbara Battin and Dr. Abdul

Shahid were asked how their faith interprets and puts into action the

following teaching of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King:

“We must all learn to live together as brothers or we will all

perish together as fools. We are tied together in the single

garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutu-

ality. And whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.

For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until

you are what you ought to be. This is the way God’s universe

is made; this is the way it is structured.”

Judge Walter Rice moderated the interactive discussion of Dr. King’s

call for unity and action and how different faiths interpret it. Rabbi

Bodney emphasized that whenever one is at risk, all of us are at risk

so that we cannot afford to only be by-standers in situations that call

for action. Rev. Dr. Barbara Battin added that we are all in life to-

gether and in all creation that is why it is important to cultivate rela-

tionships and evaluate who sits at our tables and try to include as

many people as possible. She urged us to confront stereotypes in a

peaceful and calm manner, drawing from our positive and peaceful

experience. Dr. Abdul Shahid stated that Dr. King believed in some-

thing bigger and urged us to be the voice of justice and peace. He

emphasized that the Muslim faith is a peaceful religion that advocates

for peaceful action to social reform.

QAC members who attended had the following take away from the

gathering:

Thomas Schroer

I was also glad I went and impressed with Judge Rice and the woman

Protestant minister.... their remarks and answers to the questions I

found particularly helpful. Great turnout!

Patricia Acker

I feel a power in the goodness of all people of all faiths. We have an

opportunity to make a difference simply by modeling acceptance,

love, respect and our faith in a loving God. We must take a stand

against injustice, bigotry, hatred, persecution, and negativity. We are

the branches of God's love and we can show the joy in unity, peace,

positive dialog and mercy. Martin Luther King died for his faith. We

can at least carry on his legacy. Human beings are more alike than

they are different. God will deal with those who hurt others with in-

difference or aggressiveness. We are responsible for our own actions

and reactions. As we unite, we can make significant changes. Prayer,

faith and compassion can't fail! God can take any situation and create

something beautiful and meaningful as long as we are doing the best

we can do for Him.

Dan Nagle

KUDOS to all who were present and especially to the Honorable

Judge Walter Rice, a "REAL JUDGE", who very adroitly moderated

the impressions of the three great religions on the turmoil in today's

society. It is unfortunate that our governmental leaders did not attend

this inspiring gathering and learn "that justice runs down like water

and righteousness like a mighty stream" and "that we shall overcome

because the arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards jus-

tice" (MLK) Looking forward to a follow-up session.

Chris Sitko

I was impressed by their courage to open their doors. This face-to-face

dialogue is the most peaceful approach to understanding others that

'are not like me', just as MLK would have done. Most of those in at-

tendance were from the east side of the river that divides the city of

Dayton. We got out of our comfort zone to travel west and I'm sure

that our Muslim friends felt the same by inviting strangers into their

holy space. I'm so glad that I didn't pass up the chance for the gather-

ing.

Marilyn Nagle

It was my first visit to a Mosque. Our hosts warmly welcomed us. I

was amazed but not surprised at the number of people that came to

hear the message and to let our Muslim brothers and sisters know that

we care and are with them in this latest struggle. The Mosque was full

to overflowing with Christians, Jews and Muslims, and the message

from the speakers was an inspiration to me. They used the words of

Martin Luther King to remind us that we are all equal in the eyes of

God.

Bill Meers

I thought it was a very positive and confirming experience with so

many good folk there to inspire us. Wonderful to have eight of us

from QAC there; I think our presence revealed much about the special

nature of our community and the ideals that so many of us care about.

I was a bit distressed that I had not visited the Mosque previously to

develop friendships there. I had met members of that community at

the MLK March last month and at the Peace Heroes Walk in Septem-

ber, so was looking forward to following up with a visit. I thought the

program was excellent, but a little too long. (I was ready for it to end

at the published time of 7:30PM.) I picked up one of their brochures

on their beliefs about Jesus and found it very interesting. (They honor

Jesus as an important prophet and advocate for justice.)

Nimfa Simpson

I got a lot from listening to the leaders from the three represented

faiths. Their messages were in unison about how to address social

justice issues in the world when you see it. All agree that to live your

faith is to act in a just and peaceful way to make life of people in this

world better. I will resolve to attend at least one of regularly sched-

uled Wednesday open Coffee With Islam Conversation at the commu-

nity Mosque. Islam appears to be a feared religion and it is advisable

to learn more about this religion and gain better understanding of it.

Jack Simpson

We often seemed to be surrounded by people who are afraid and other

people who seek to promote fear. It was encouraging to hear from

leaders in the different faiths who are not afraid and do not want oth-

ers to live in fear.

It was very encouraging and inspiring to listen to representatives of

three faith traditions - Islam, Christianity and the Jewish faith - articu-

lately discuss their faiths, addressing similarities and differences.

The discussion was done in a respectful and enlightening manner

with each member of the panel addressing important issues of faith,

politics and everyday life with an emphasis on how to bring people

together and conquer fear and distrust.

It was encouraging to see so many people from various communities,

including so many folks from QAC, there to show that understanding

of and respect among different faiths is alive and well.

Seniors’ Corner

March ushers in Spring (the 21st) and of

course Saint Patrick's Day (the 17th), when

we are all Irish. I for one, who is of good

Germanic stock, converted to the Celtic

Society many years ago. Ireland brought

us many good things. At the top of the list

is Irish whisky To get a complete list of

this Irish delight check out CelticWiskeyShop.com. One of

the best being Jameson JJ12. But for the working class

Guinness is more to our liking along with corned beef and

cabbage and soda bread. Of course I cannot forget the music

that the Emerald Isle brought us. That takes me to the center

week of March and the Irish entertainment in town that I will

attend.

Lets get together for St Pats Day

Free -- Saturday March 11th Carroll High School 4524 Lin-

don Av. St Pats Fest presents The Dulahan's 8:15-11:15

PM. This is a great group with lots of energy. Come and

join me; see you there. Last year there was not a large group

50 to 75 people. The price is right and the entertainment is

great.

Friday March 17th Harrigans Pub 4070 Marshall Rd ($10

cover charge) presents The Father Son and Friends 9:00 -

11:00 AM. Classic Irish Music. This is a morning set and

therefore not a large crowd. This is the way that several of

us at QAC start St Patrick's Day. Of course I will be there

with some soda bread along with butter and preserves.

Let Your Light Shine

Many people don’t realize

that the candle by the taber-

nacle that signifies that the Body of Christ is

present, lasts exacting 7 days. Every Sunday,

when I get to the chapel for choir practice, I re-

place the candle with a new one. It also reminds

me that we are the Body of Christ and that the

light from that candle only shines if we make

sure it is lit. It also means that the light of QAC

is burning bright. The question we need to ask

ourselves is, who will light the candle in the fu-

ture?

Jesus is the light of the world and we are asked

to let our light shine before others. Just like dur-

ing the Easter Vigil, we start in darkness and as

we enter the chapel, our candles begin to light the

way, sharing the light with others.

“This little Light of Mine, I’m gonna let it Shine”

As Stewards of QAC, we share our gifts not as

passive recipients, but active participants in con-

tinuing the mission of Jesus Christ. This means

that we share in the responsibility of proclaiming,

teaching, and serving. Our Stewardship commit-

ment is to be Disciples of Christ allowing the work

of the Spirit as instruments in spreading the Gos-

pel. It is our personal responsibility to play a role

in the future of our faith and QAC by going forth

to “build a community of love and to be the holy

people God calls us to be”.

Liturgy News WALKING with our CATECHUMEN and

CANDIDATE this Lent

Prepared for the Liturgy Committee by Bob Buescher

This Lenten Season we are again blessed to accompa-

ny two people preparing for sacraments of initiation at

the Easter Vigil. Matt Hughes will be baptized, con-

firmed and receive first Eucharist on April 15. Sue

Davis will be confirmed and receive first Eucharist as

she is welcomed into full communion with the Catho-

lic Church.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) calls

for the baptism of adults to take place at the Easter

Vigil whenever possible. The objective is that their

symbolic passage from death to new life through the

waters of baptism coincides with the celebration of the

dying and rising of Christ that is the culmination of

the liturgical year.

The RCIA presumes that the entire community joins

with and supports the Elect and Candidates for full

communion throughout the Lenten season. We are

invited to walk with Matt and Sue for what is like a 40

-day retreat. “Return to me with your whole heart,”

our God says through the words of the prophet Joel

proclaimed on Ash Wednesday. “Return to Your God,

who is gracious and merciful, and ready to forgive.”

The Sunday readings of Lent offer a rich guide to this

inward journey of illumination. A strong baptismal

theme emerges as the season continues. Spending time

with these scripture passages during the weeks of Lent

can be very fruitful. We can re-connect with our per-

sonal call to faith regardless of when our baptism oc-

curred. By stopping to rest in the arms of our loving

God, we can open our hearts to see how to live out our

baptismal promises more clearly.

This year’s Lenten liturgies will include specific ac-

tions marking the progress of Matt and Sue’s journey

toward the Easter sacraments.

On the first Sunday of Lent, Rites of Sending take

place. The assembly will hear testimony of Matt

Hughes’ readiness for baptism and witness his enroll-

ment in the “Book of the Elect” before sending him

for presentation to Archbishop Schnurr at the diocesan

Rite of Election. In a similar way, Sue Davis will be sent for

recognition by the bishop as a Candidate for full communion.

From this day forward, Matt is no longer called a catechumen;

he is one of the Elect.

On the third, fourth and fifth Sundays, brief ceremonies called

“scrutinies” will occur at mass. These are keyed to pivotal en-

counters from the gospel of John:

• Third Sunday – Jesus’ promise of “living water” to the

woman at the well

• Fourth Sunday – the cure of the man born blind and a new

way of seeing through faith

• Fifth Sunday – the raising of Lazarus and Jesus’ com-

mand to “come out” and be freed from death

The term scrutinies requires some explanation. It is not the

community or the church scrutinizing the Elect. Rather, it is

our loving God searching the hearts of the Elect – and each of

the baptized. In the scrutinies we pray that whatever is weak,

defective or sinful can be uncovered and healed…and that

what is upright, strong and good be strengthened and brought

forth for the life of the world.

Walking with those preparing for the Easter sacraments, in

both the community’s liturgical action and our individual Len-

ten practices, builds up our appreciation for the gift of Christ’s

presence in the One Body. May our common bond in this

year’s Lenten journey be a source of strength for Matt and Sue

and “a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
