Lenten Creation Care 2022 Cuidemos la Creación durante la Cuaresma de este 2022

Because our world can change a lot in 40 days. Porque el mundo puede cambiar mucho en 40 días.

Lent is a time for prayer, fasting, and more intentional sharing. This year, our church is joining with many others in heeding the call to be stewards of God’s Creation throughout this season. 

May this calendar remind us to be more mindful of the ways that our daily habits impact both our common home and all those with whom we share it. On behalf of future generations and all living in poverty — those most harmed by our damaged climate — may we answer God’s call to be faithful stewards, speaking out for Creation care.

A prayer from Psalm 51: 

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.

Creator God, we begin this Lenten season asking for Your renewal. 

Through prayer, fasting, and sharing over these 40 days, 

we ask that our eyes be opened to the ways we can do better; 

in our relationships with You, Your Creation, 

and all those with whom we share this, our common home. 

Lord, help us to restore what has been damaged through our sinful overconsumption 

and the systemic injustices that surround us, returning to You with renewed spirits

Lenten Creation Care 2022 - Because our world can change a lot in 40 days.

Cuidemos la Creación durante la Cuaresma de este 2022

Porque el mundo puede cambiar mucho en 40 días.

La Cuaresma es un tiempo de oración, ayuno y participación de manera más consciente. Este año, nuestra parroquia está uniéndose a otras iglesias en responder al llamado de cuidar la Creación de Dios durante esta temporada. Recemos para que esta temporada nos haga más conscientes de las maneras en que nuestras acciones tienen impactos positivos para “nuestra casa común” y para aquéllos con quienes la compartimos. En representación de generaciones futuras y todos los que viven en la pobreza—los más impactados por nuestro deteriorado clima—que respondamos todos a la llamada de Dios y que seamos fieles guardianes, y nos pronunciemos a favor del cuidado de la Creación

Miércoles de Ceniza 

Empezamos esta temporada cuaresmal con una oración del Salmo 51: Por tu inmensa compasión 

y misericordia, Señor, apiádate de mí y olvida mis ofensas. Lávame bien de todas mis culpas ... 

Crea en mí, Señor, un corazón puro, un espíritu nuevo para cumplir tus mandamientos.

Dios Creador, empezamos esta temporada pidiendo por una renovación. A través de la oración, el ayuno y la 

participación a lo largo de estos 40 días, pedimos que nuestros ojos se abran a las maneras en que podemos 

mejorar; en nuestras relaciones contigo; tu Creación, y todos estos con quienes compartimos éste, nuestro 

hogar común. Confiamos en tu capacidad para crear en nosotros corazones limpios, para llevarnos del pecado 

a ser devotos guías, para usarnos como instrumentos de tu sanación. Señor, ayúdanos a restaurar lo que se ha 

dañado por nuestro excesivo e inmoral consumismo y las injusticias sistemáticas que nos rodean, regresando a 

ti con el espíritu renovado

Stan Chase Nov. 30, 1931 – Feb. 24, 2022

Our friend Stan Chase died on February 24, 2022. Mr. Chase was an amazing person of incredible accomplishments. He will be greatly missed. 

Stan Chase Nov. 30, 1931 – Feb. 24, 2022

Stanislaus (Stan) Chase was born in Westminster, Maryland, on November 30, 1931, to the late Inez Gibson. The “thin man with the kind face” was called home to be with the Lord, sitting in his favorite chair, on Thursday, February 24, 2022. https://ccnaacp7014.blogspot.com/2022/03/stan-chase-nov-30-1931-feb-24-2022.html 

Stan attended Robert Moton School in Westminster, Maryland, and graduated in 1948. Stan graduated from Maryland State College (now University of Maryland Eastern Shore) in 1952 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.  Stan served in the Army during the Korean War and was honorably discharged at the rank of Sergeant in 1954. Stan was extremely “Proud” of his military service to his country.

Stan completed graduate studies at the University of Maryland, and Morgan State College (University), and would later receive his Master of Arts from Towson State College (University) in 1970.

Stan began his career as an educator in 1955 as a Physical Education and Science teacher in Leonardtown, Maryland.  It was here that he met the love of his life, Anne Williams who preceded him in death. 

 Stan taught and coached at his alma mater Robert Moton Consolidated from 1957 to 1964. At the height of desegregation, Stan was transferred to Sykesville High School in 1964.  He is often credited by both African Americans and Caucasian Americans in the community as being the “reason school integration worked in Carroll County.” He was also deemed “the most popular guy in Carroll County with students and teachers.”

Sykesville High School became Sykesville Middle School in 1967. Stan continued as the Physical Education teacher and assumed other positions of increased responsibility including Health Education Specialist, Guidance Counselor, and ultimately was promoted to the position of Vice Principal.  He retired from Carroll County Schools in 1995.

Stan and Anne were married in 1957, and were blessed with their son, Bryant Gordon Chase in 1959. Even though Stan had only one child, because of his many years as an educator, coach, and memberships in multiple local and national organizations, and church memberships, numerous individuals considered him a second father, mentor, and trusted advisor.  

He had a sharp mind and was very knowledgeable about history and sports.  He read the local Baltimore Sun and AFRO American Newspapers, and kept abreast of local, national, and international news.

Stan’s love of sports started with participation, but grew to coaching, officiating, and he spent countless hours of fanatic-level viewing with his son Bryant.  In 1961 he coached the Robert Moton High School Basketball Team to win the state championship.  This was only the second Carroll County School basketball team to ever win a state title.  

Stan officiated many state championship football games as a member of the Maryland Board of Football Officials, and the Central Maryland Football Officials. He continued to officiate multiple sports well into his eighties.  

Stan was inducted into the Carroll County Sports Hall of Fame in 2002, and the gymnasium at the Robert Moton High School Museum is also dedicated in his name and honor.

Stan was a generous, selfless giver of his time and money to support charities, the community (including the Grove Park Neighborhood Association), family, friends, and neighbors. 

He sponsored or supported many youth-development and scholarship programs through his affiliations with local and national organizations, including being a volunteer and mentor for the MESA (Math Engineering Science Achievement) Program which is hosted by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. 

He also served for over 20 years as an election official poll volunteer for District #5, at School #224, Grove Park Elementary School in Baltimore City, and as a Regular Election Judge from 2010 to 2016.  Stan was a dependable, conscientious Election Judge that made sure accuracy and ethics were adhered to at polling station.  He spent hours upon hours making sure the polling station was conducted in a professional manner and that respect was bestowed to every person who entered the polls to vote. 

He was known for his kindness and attention to detail.  He assisted many persons in the Grove Park Community who needed to be transported to the polls due to physical challenges and mobility issues.

Stan enjoyed spending time with family and friends, which includes, working at the Reese Firehouse Carnival, Cruising the Caribbean, singing in the church choir, playing and coaching softball, and he never met a line dance he wouldn’t try!  He was always a consummate gentleman, and he was quiet, but, when he spoke, he had a word of encouragement and knowledge for all who encountered him.

Stan leaves to celebrate his life: his son, Bryant Chase, wife Kimberly; his brother, George Gibson; his grandchildren, Derek Chase (Wife Destinee), Brittany Chase (Husband Rico), and Joshua Chase; seven great-grandchildren; two sisters-in-law, Evelyn Marie Wein (husband Larry), and Jean Barbara Jamison; numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews; a host of other relatives, friends, neighbors, fraternity brothers, Prince Hall Masonic family, church families, former students and co-workers, and his Grove Park neighbors.

Stan was a proud and distinguished member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., and the Free Masons.  

His journey with Alpha Phi Alpha began with the Delta Nu at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore where he served as a chartering member.  He joined the Delta Lambda Graduate Chapter in Baltimore City where he held several leadership positions including Chapter Vice President.  He is a Founder of the Rho Tau Lambda Graduate Chapter serving the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan Area, which was chartered on November 8, 2008.

Stan also held many positions of leadership in multiple Houses of the Free Masons. These include:

Past Master (PM) James E. Stewart Lodge No. 49

Past High Priest (PHP), King David No 1, Holy Royal Arch Mason, Baltimore, MD.

Past Thrice Illustrious Master (PTIM), Omega Council No. 2, Royal and Select Masters, Baltimore, MD

Atlas Obscura - Penny Lick

Atlas Obscura - Penny Lick: This is some deceptive, dirty ice cream ware. Penny licks were England’s most nefarious ice cream paraphernalia. As the name suggests, a few licks of ice cream cost just a penny. Contracting tuberculosis was free.

Ice cream began to achieve widespread popularity in England in the mid 1800s. Before the invention of the cone, ice cream vendors, or Jacks, served scoops in cups called penny licks. They hawked ice cream in ha’penny (half penny) and tu’penny (two penny) licks, too. But the standard penny lick was most popular.

These small glasses were designed especially for ice cream. Their bottom-heavy build kept them stable as Jacks paddled peaks of frozen cream on top, and their conical shape and the thick glass obscured the magnitude of their contents. Even the tiniest dollop of ice cream appeared bountiful.

During the penny lick’s day, Englishmen had little conception of germs. After finishing their ice cream, customers handed back their well-licked penny lick, and the next customer ate from the same cup. Because of the conical openings, Jacks couldn’t keep the narrow point clean if they tried. Penny licks became the perfect vessel for transmitting disease.

As tuberculosis swept the nation, the medical community pointed at ice cream vendors. A 1879 English medical report blamed a cholera outbreak on the reuse of glassware, and fear of tuberculosis led the city of London to ban penny licks in 1899. Some undeterred ice cream vendors used the unsanitary serving cups until they were more widely banned in the 1920s and 1930s. By that time, a new ice cream vessel reigned supreme. Waffle cones nudged the penny lick from the public’s hands, and they remain a safe, single-use crowd pleaser to this day.

Next time you’re enjoying a cone on the street, remember: That melting scoop of frozen cream didn’t always come free of infectious disease.
