Flyer, information and entry form for the Easter 5K Run to the Cross April 19, 2014 at Taylorsville United Methodist Church

Flyer, information and entry form for the Easter 5K Run to the Cross April 19, 2014 at Taylorsville United Methodist Church


According to information from the Taylorsville United Methodist Church website, the first ever ‘Run to the Cross’ will take place this Saturday in Taylorsville, Carroll County, Maryland.

If you are looking to get outside after a long-cold winter of being cooped-up inside, this is a great family event for everyone to enjoy – and celebrate spring and Easter. And oh, was it mentioned that there will also be great food available - pulled pork sandwiches. And all the proceeds go to several good causes…

The 5 K run will go from South Carroll High School to Taylorsville United Methodist Church on Saturday, April 19, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. (TUMC). (You can run this or walk this 5 K.)

This 5 K run will travel west on Route 26, cross Route 27 (with State Police help) and travel south on Route 27 to TUMC.

At the end of the race enjoy live music, pulled pork sandwiches (free for runners) and the final awards ceremony.

This run is a joint venture brought to you by TUMC and SCHS’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes. (FCA)

Proceeds will be given to both the FCA and the No More Malaria Campaign. (Every 60 seconds a child dies in Africa of Malaria. This campaign has already cut that number in half, we want to stop deaths from malaria.) Your entry fee will be tax deductible.

There are two ways to register: One is to download the run entry form, fill it out, and mail it back to TUMC along with a check. Please register by April 6th. The registration fee is $10 for students; $15 for SCHS Alum; and $20 for adults.

The second way to register is to click below. Make sure you have a credit card ready and you can register totally on line.

Note there is a 2-4 dollar increase to offset on-line costs.

While many Christian congregations have activities or services scheduled for Maundy Thursday or Good Friday, Easter Saturday is often a quiet day that slips by before the celebrations on Easter Sunday.

But Taylorsville United Methodist Church is hoping to start a new Easter Saturday tradition with the “Run to the Cross” 5K race.

“The whole point is you’re running to the cross the day before Easter and looking to see it’s empty, and the next day you’re going to see that the tombstone is rolled away,” said the Rev. Sarah Dorrance, pastor of Taylorsville UMC. “It’s very specific, rain or shine, on Easter Saturday.”

Dorrance said she got the idea of the church hosting a 5K race while talking to colleagues from other parts of the country. Read more here: http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/features/religion/running-to-the-cross/article_5a6ef6b4-c8c1-5fa0-a54d-5b161e2760f9.html

Eagle Archive: Reflecting on Easter with grace and peace


Happy Easter. Grace and peace to you. 

In Carroll County, the celebration of Easter has always had an emphasis on the religious aspects of the holiday. However, childhood thoughts of Easter in Carroll are also filled of memories of community Easter egg hunts and other community activities.

Some 65 years ago, the Venture Club of Westminster sponsored the annual hunt on Easter Sunday on the Westminster Playground. An article in the now defunct Democratic Advocate on March 26, 1948, offers an example of how various aspects of the community got into the Easter spirit: There was a concert by the Westminster Municipal Band; an invocation by Father William T. McCrory, assistant pastor of St. John Catholic Church; and City Councilman J. Albert Mitten served as master of ceremonies.


Another childhood memory is that all the church services and activities during Holy Week and Easter were observed with strict pomp and ceremony — as dictated by the ecclesiastical liturgists in the congregation.

I learned at a very young age that the difference between a terrorist and liturgist is you can negotiate with a terrorist. For those unaware of ways of the church, a liturgist is sort of like a "parliamentarian" — with an edge… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0324-20130327,0,6902860.story

Easter egg hunts, distillery raids signaled spring in Carroll County

Easter egg hunts, distillery raids signaled spring in Carroll County

EAGLE ARCHIVE By Kevin Dayhoff Posted http://www.explorecarroll.com/community/4180/dayhoff/ 4/04/10

Happy Easter.

Easter has always been an opportunity for people to shake off the winter blues and celebrate spring with neighbors, family and friends at community events. Most popular are the community Easter egg hunts throughout Carroll County.

More than 60 years ago, on March 26, 1948, the now-defunct Democratic Advocate carried an article detailing plans for an inaugural celebration hosted by Westminster's Venture Club:

[…]

Speaking of springtime bliss, in other news from about 80 years ago, the community must have been buzzing on this date after reading that, "About 25 men, all from Baltimore ... attempted to raid McGinnis Distillery," in a newspaper account dated March 30, 1923.

Elon College Professor Overton Introductory Rite

Elon College Professor Overton Introductory Rite

Sunday, March 23, 2008 by Kevin Dayhoff

An excerpt from “Easter years ago was a time for new clothes and Easter Egg Hunts”

Sunday Carroll Eagle, Sunday, March 23, 2008 by Kevin Dayhoff



We have new pastors at our church and I can’t wait to see how they deal with liturgy issues.  If they are smart, they will nod appropriately and do as they are told by the congregational liturgists and repeat “et cum spiritu tuo” as often as possible.

Keep up with me now.  In the “Introductory Rite,” the pastor or a cantor will say, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”  At that point the congregation responds, “And also with you.”

However, if you go back to original Latin, the response is “et cum spiritu you,” which means “and with your spirit.” 

I learned at in my Religion III class (MWF 10:10) at Elon College that one does not question the translation.  I once asked Professor Overton why the translation was wrong.  (Remember even though Prof Overton was friendly and accessible, religion professors are liturgists on steroids…) 

“Because that is the way it has always been Mr. Dayhoff.  Do you have any additional impertinent questions to share with the class today?”

“Good.  Now please explain to the class why the remainder of the Chronicler’s history – Ezra, Nehemiah – is not paralleled in the Deuteronomic History, which concludes with the Exile.”


Professor Overton emphasized the word “Exile” with a smile. I caught his drift.  It was then that I realized that the fear of liturgists that I had learned as a child was real.  You could say it was my “Road to Damascus” experience in learning the liturgist mantra, “that’s the way we have always done it,” the hard way.

Easter years ago was a time for new clothes and Easter Egg Hunts - by Kevin Dayhoff

Easter years ago was a time for new clothes and Easter Egg Hunts

Sunday Carroll Eagle, Sunday, March 23, 2008 by Kevin Dayhoff long version

Sunday Carroll Eagle, Sunday, March 23, 2008 by Kevin Dayhoff
Happy Easter.  Yes it’s not quite warm out although warmer weather should be just around the corner.  The first day of spring was – thankfully – last Thursday. 

And yes, it seems like Christmas was just yesterday.  As a matter of fact, Easter will not be this early again for about – oh, another 220 years or so in the year 2285.

The last time Easter was this early was in 1913, but in 1818, Easter arrived on March 22.  If you usually associate Easter with April, there is good reason.  According to an ecclesiastical mathematician in desperate need of a life, the “cycle of Easter dates repeats after exactly 5,700,000 years, with April 19 being the most common date, happening 220,400 times.”

For those of you following along in your book at home, the story of Easter - the Resurrection of Christ - is told in Matthew 28: 8-20, Mark 16: 9-20, Luke 24:13-49, John 20: 11-21 and Acts 1: 1-11.  However the best version is 1 Corinthians 15: 3-9, because it was written by my favorite writer, Paul of Tarsus, only a few years after it all happened in 33 AD.

For those of us who grew up in the church Easter marked the opportunity to wear our “Easter Sunday Best” new clothes.

Another childhood memory is that all the church services and activities during Holy Week and Easter were observed with strict pomp and ceremony as dictated any number of ecclesiastical liturgists in the congregation.

I learned at a very young age that the difference between a terrorist and liturgist is you can negotiate with a terrorist.  For those readers who aren’t aware of ways of the church, a liturgist is sort of like a “parliamentarian” in public meeting – only with an edge.

We have new pastors at our church and I can’t wait to see how they deal with liturgy issues.  If they are smart, they will nod appropriately and do as they are told by the congregational liturgists and repeat “et cum spiritu tuo” as often as possible.

Keep up with me now.  In the “Introductory Rite,” the pastor or a cantor will say, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”  At that point the congregation responds, “And also with you.”

“Because that is the way it has always been Mr. Dayhoff.  Do you have any additional impertinent questions to share with the class today?”

Of course, throughout Carroll County’s history, the celebration of Easter has always had an emphasis on the religious aspects of the holiday.  However childhood thoughts of Easter in Carroll County are full of memories of community Easter Egg Hunts.

I only vaguely remember Easter Egg Hunts in the Westminster Playground.  60 years ago, the Venture Club of Westminster sponsored the annual event on Easter Sunday.  An article in the Democratic Advocate on March 26, 1948 also detailed a planned concert by the Westminster Municipal Band; an invocation by Father William T. McCrory, Assistant Pastor of St. John's Catholic Church and that City Councilman J. Albert Mitten would be Master of Ceremonies.

I was recently asked about Easter parades in Westminster and I have no recollection of any such parades.  More research is on order, however, local historian Joe Getty noted in an article he wrote a number of years ago for the Historical Society of Carroll County: “Easter Monday parades were held in Westminster in 1884, 1885, and 1887.  After a short lapse, a large parade was held in 1892…”

For the folks who have asked about story behind the historical marker at the old Post Office at the corner of Main Street and Longwell Avenue, that will be the subject of a future column.  Meanwhile, there is an Easter connection.

However, according to the Historical Society in 1899 “Carroll County was selected by the U. S. Post Office Department as the first county to receive full Rural Free Delivery.  Edwin W. Shriver was the leading proponent of countywide service…  He initiated an experimental delivery on Easter Monday 1899 and full service was inaugurated on December 20th.”

In other news, 85 years ago, on March 23, 1923, the Democratic Advocate newspaper ran a story about a controversy over a proposed site for a high school to be built in Sykesville to serve southern Carroll County.  The article reported that some folks wanted the school to be in Eldersburg and not in Sykesville.

The Carroll Record carried an article on March 23, 1972 which noted that the Carroll County commissioners had asked the state to accelerate the Route 30 by-pass around Manchester and Hampstead.  “Construction funds are presently ear-marked for 1975 and 1976.”

Of course, over 35 years later, the portion of the road around Hampstead is not quite completed.  Speaking of the Hampstead by-pass, word is that there is a movement to name it after the late Carroll County Delegate Richard C. Matthews.

Delegate Matthews, from Hampstead, passed away on December 13, 2007 and was the subject of my December 30th Sunday Eagle column.  The popular elected official faithfully served Carroll County in Annapolis from 1967 to 1994 and it is only fitting and appropriate that the road be named after him.
