Congregation Prayer Almighty God, look graciously on your Church, and so guide the minds of those who shall choose

a rector for this parish, that we may receive a faithful pastor, who will care for your people and

equip us for our ministries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Search Committee Prayer

We earnestly pray for the empowerment of your Holy Spirit. Help us to see with Your eyes, hear

with Your ears, and love with Your unconditional love. Give us Your patience as we venture

through this process leading to the call of our new rector. We ask for your Grace and to accept

Your will for us, and to trust in Your perfect timing and ability to work through the details. We

ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen

Profile Introduction

Welcome to St. Eustace Episcopal Church. Our location is in Lake Placid, New York in the heart

of the Adirondack Mountains where God’s presence and beauty is clear. Our parish is over 100

years old. The church building is a beautiful, historic structure on Main Street with a large rectory

next door overlooking the village and Mirror Lake.

Our town may be remote but it is an interesting place to live and has an international flair. We are

the home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics and these venues are still maintained for the

world to see and utilize. We are a summer as well as winter sports mecca. We are also fortunate to

have the Lake Placid Center for the Arts which is a multi-arts center that began as a dream 45 years

ago and has grown into one of the largest and most exciting arts center in upstate New York

providing world-class entertainment and arts education. Year-round we have events that draw

people from across the country and the world. Visitors often attend local churches including ours.

Our summer parishioners are a big part of our church family.

We are searching for a dedicated and qualified priest who LOVES people, wants to be INVOLVED

in the community, will reach out to parishioners who have left and who loves being a priest. Our

parishioners will enthusiastically and joyfully help a priest who exhibits these qualities. We hope

our minister and congregation are welcoming to all regardless of personal history, past or present

religious affiliation, age, race, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, family make-up,

socioeconomic status, marital status, or political persuasion. We hope to develop more

opportunities for youth through religious instruction and participation in music programs and the

services providing information and experiences they will cherish and remember for life.

Whoever chooses to be here has a challenge ahead. The right person will change the destiny of

our parish and life for many in Lake Placid and we hope will find a loving, stimulating, and

supportive environment in which to live.

Community Village of Lake Placid and Town of North Elba

The history of North Elba dates back to the separation from Keene in 1849. The Village of Lake

Placid was incorporated in 1900 and is located in the center of incredible views of the Adirondack

Mountains including New York's highest peak, Mt. Marcy.

While the town strives to preserve our Olympic heritage, having hosted the 1932 and 1980

Olympic Winter Games, Lake Placid remains committed to offering a quality lifestyle and

enjoyable family experience. Residents of this renowned mountain community know this is truly

a beautiful, historical and magical place to live. The diversity of this small town brings thousands

of visitors each year to explore, relax and enjoy this very special place. Whether you relish a family

thrill down the toboggan slide, share a round of golf at one of the many courses, or behold a world

class sporting event, you will have an everlasting and memorable experience.

Our community provides plenty of outdoor activities including downhill skiing on Whiteface

Mountain, cross-country skiing, ice-climbing, snowmobiling, hiking, fishing, cycling, kayaking,

canoeing, and swimming. The Lake Placid Youth Athletic Association offers soccer, softball,

baseball, basketball, and hockey. We host the Empire State Games, the I Love New York Horse

Show, Ironman, lacrosse, and soon the International University Winter Sports (FISU).

It is a great place to raise a family. Both public and private schools offer a well-rounded education

to our children at St. Agnes School, Lake Placid Central Schools, North Country School, and

Northwood School.

Cultural activities include the Lake Placid Sinfonietta, Orchestra of the Adirondacks, and Lake

Placid Center for the Arts.

History of St. Eustace Church

The Episcopal Church began its life in Lake Placid in 1894. Originally services were held in

parlors of different community buildings.

In 1896 the Stevens family gave property on the corner of present-day Victor Herbert Road and

Lake Street (Harbor Lane) to St. Eustace, with the condition that a church be built there within two

years. The church was built.

In 1900, St. Eustace-By-The-Lakes was consecrated and became the summer church. St. Huberts,

on the site of the present-day Pilgrim Holiness Church on Sentinel Road, was the winter church.

In 1922, both churches were closed and the parish worshipped in different locations. In 1924, St.

Huberts was sold and in 1927, St. Eustace-By-The-Lake was dismantled, boards numbered,

windows removed and it was moved to its present location at 2450 Main Street and was

reassembled at a cost of $53,000.

Numerous rectors have served St. Eustace, varying from long tenures of 25 and 40 years to shorter

ones of four to seven years. The congregation has fluctuated from an initial of three to 200 to 60,

back up to over 150 and back down. The current congregation is around 65 parishioners. Sunday

School goes through the same fluctuation.

St. Eustace parishioners have been very active in the wider community for over 120 years. Our

prayer is that this continues for many years to come.

Facilities

Church

St. Eustace Church has been located at its present site, Main Street, Lake Placid, since 1927. It is

indeed a beautiful wood-framed building, with a cedar shake roof and a stone bell tower. Sitting

atop a hill overlooking Main Street and Mirror Lake, the Church has long been admired by both

residents and visitors alike. St. Eustace Church has been well maintained by generations of her

congregation, and has served as a house of worship for visitors from around the world.

The main floor houses the nave, choir, sanctuary, sacristy, and narthex. There is a small

columbarium located in the narthex. The nave seats 144; the choir seats 18. There is a fine organ

in the choir, a carillon in the sacristy, and a bell above the narthex. Both the main floor and

basement level are wheelchair accessible. The basement level has a large meeting room (Herbert

Hall), which contains a piano. Adjacent to this room is Bartlett Lounge, used for smaller meetings

and discussion groups. Bartlett Lounge also houses the Rev. William D. Hayes Library. The

downstairs also includes a rector's study, the church office, a kitchen, two restrooms, and a

furnace/storage room.

Rectory

Directly adjacent to the Church, the Rectory is a large, comfortable home dating to 1884. It was

purchased by St. Eustace Church in 1918, and has served as the Church Rectory since that time.

The Rectory, with its large sloping front lawn, directly overlooks Mirror Lake. The house contains

4 bedrooms and 3 baths. Other rooms include kitchen, dining room, living room with fireplace and

den. The wood floors throughout the house have been refinished, and the kitchen and bathrooms

have been updated. Directly behind the Rectory is a two-story, two-car garage. The second story

of the garage consists of 3 rooms of storage space.

Capital Campaign

We are currently raising funds to replace the church roof and repair the Rectory.

St. Eustace Church Windows by Keela Rogers

Our most important window is the three-panel St. Eustace window depicting St. Eustace’s

encounter with the stag. It was commissioned in the early 1900’s by the then Rector, The Rev.

William Moir as a memorial to his father, James Moir. (Note: this is primarily a copper foil

window rather than a leaded window). The angel window above it was given at the same time by

Rev. Moir’s sister, Mrs. Henry Lee; again, in memory of James Moir.

The window over the door into the church is a Tiffany window done in 1913. It was given to the

church in the early 1970’s as was the window over the altar done by the George W. Weiss Studio

of Boston. Both were installed while The Rev. William Hayes was Rector.

The three-panel window across from the St. Eustace window was done by the Henry Keck Studio

of Syracuse. It’s entitled “The Good Shepherd Window” and was given by friends and

parishioners in 1964. The window above it was given shortly thereafter in memory of Otis

Glazebrook, probably done by the Keck Studio.

Mr. & Mrs. Carter Lockwood have given two windows. The “St. Francis Window” (1990) in the

narthex, in memory of their daughter, Francis Bailey, who was killed in the Sioux City airplane

crash and the window on your left at the rear of the church (1988) in memory of their son Herbert.

Both of those windows were done by the Chapman Studio of Albany, NY.

The pair of windows on the right side of the church is in memory of Mr. & Mrs. Merrill Thomas.

They were created by Kip Trienens of Westport, NY in the early 2000’s and were dedicated by

The Rev. Judson Pealer, Rector.

The Good Shepard window at the rear of the church was given in memory of Elsie and J. Vernon

Lamb, Sr. by their children. This was also created by the Chapman Studio of Albany and dedicated

in 2005 by The Rev. Harold Bronk, Interim Rector.

At the top of the stairs in the columbarium is the “St. Anthony Window” given by the Bonsignore

family. This too was created by Chapman Studio and dedicated by The Rev. Harold Bronk, Interim

Rector.

The newest window at the bottom of the stairs in the narthex was given in memory of The Rev.

Peter & Phyllis Francis by their friends. It was designed by Nip Rogers of Lake Placid, created

by the Chapman Studio of Albany and dedicated in 2016 by The Very Rev. David K. Ousley,

Rector.

The Chapman Studio has done extensive work on the St. Eustace windows through the years and

has stated that St. Eustace Church has a treasure trove of windows.

Diocese of Albany Bishop, The Right Reverend William Love

St. Eustace has been very important to the Diocese, and is therefore, in a unique position as a leader

among parishes in the North Country. Each year two parishioners attend the convention as

delegates with the current rector and his spouse. There are six individuals who have attended

Cursillo and continue to share their love of Christ.

Worship

Worshipping in the Anglican tradition,

restoring people to unity with God and each other in Christ.

Church Services

Sunday:

Holy Eucharist: 8:00 & 10:00 a.m.

Sunday school: 10:00 a.m.

Wednesday:

Holy Eucharist & Healing Prayer: 5:15 p.m.

Saturday:

Holy Eucharist: 5:15 p.m.

Altar Guild

The Altar Guild at St. Eustace Church is made up of a dozen dedicated parishioners who set up

the Altar for each of the services. Teams of two or three have altar guild every five or six weeks.

Once or twice a year, the group gets together for extra cleaning and polishing.

Music

St. Eustace is the only church in Lake Placid where you can hear a pipe organ providing

accompaniment for a choir singing in four parts: soprano, alto, tenor and bass. The choir has

existed for generations and is the only church choir in Lake Placid. Ginny Haselton has been the

Organist/Choir Director since 1959 and emphasizes the traditional worship music from the 1982

Hymnal during the 10 a.m. service. The excellent pipe organ was made by Estey in Brattleboro,

Vermont in 1929. Choir rehearsals are held prior to each service.

During the times when Ginny takes an extended leave period, the music may then be resolved by

a trio of musicians organized by Steve Lester. (It takes at least three people to perform what Ginny

does on her own.) With Steve on classical guitar, the other two instruments may be any

combination of cello, recorder, violin or viola all performed by highly experienced players. Steve

also does a short guitar interlude most Sundays while the choir takes communion.

While it helps to read a vocal part, there is no audition required to join the choir. All are welcome,

tenors especially.

Recent discussions at vestry meetings have focused on the desire to encourage more of the church

youth to be included in the music program. While nothing has been decided at this point in time,

discussions have included the possibility of forming a youth choir and having instrumentalists join

Steve on his guitar interlude during communion.

11

Education

Sunday School

St. Eustace Church continues to offer Sunday School each week to a small group of enthusiastic

children. We use the Episcopal curriculum developed for small Sunday Schools. Most Sundays

consist of a bible story, proceeded by a group discussion, and finishing with a related project.

Sunday School concludes with the children attending the second half of the morning's service.

Christmas Pageant

After a hiatus, the pageant was revamped and returned on Christmas Eve, 2015. Though it is not

the same pageant St. Eustace put on in the 80s and 90s, it is still special. There are the same

costumes used as in the past, but this year we acquired new angel costumes from the North Country

Ballet Ensemble. The pageant is held every Christmas Eve and includes children from our parish,

along with other local children. It is given as the gospel and sermon during the family Christmas

Eve service.

Lending Libraries

Laura Coffin, vestry member and reading specialist at Lake Placid Elementary School, worked to

fundraise, build and install three Little Free Libraries in Lake Placid and Wilmington. The vestry

thought this was such a good idea, Ken Foster, built two Little Free Libraries. The two from St.

Eustace will be installed on the church property and at the local beach playground. The Little Free

Libraries provide books for our community members, especially our children who need easy

access to books.

Summer Cookie Sale

The L&L Cookie Sale is held every Tuesday night in the summer in conjunction with Songs on

Mirror Lake. Songs on Mirror Lake is a free concert series attended by locals and visiting tourists

and takes place in Mid’s Park, right across the street from St. Eustace. The lawn is often full of

people who have come to listen to the free music, especially on July 4th. St. Eustace parishioners

make homemade cookies and delights to be handed out with water and glow sticks for a donation

to our church roof repair fund. Last summer we raised over $2,500.

Alpha Course

Alpha is an eleven week series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a

different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Fourteen people participated

in the fall of 2017 at St. Eustace Church.

12

Outreach Committee

The Outreach Committee supports charitable organizations both of local and international scope.

They provided financial assistance to several other organizations including: The Ecumenical Food

Pantry, North Elba Community Christmas Fund, Dominican Republic mission, Dominican

Republic Water Project, victims of the fire on Main Street, KIVA Micro-loans, Beaver Cross

scholarship and heating assistance through Ecumenical Charities.

Strawberry Festival

We sell strawberry shortcakes and are treated to live music by a variety of talented musicians. We

also have items to raffle. The money raised from the Strawberry Fest supports the KIVA loans,

North Elba Christmas Fund, Dominican Republic Mission and the Ecumenical Food Pantry.

KIVA

We provide micro-loans to entrepreneurs in Third World countries, specifically women who are

striving to become more self-sufficient. When loans are repaid, we use those funds to re-loan to

someone else. We started with $483 in the fund and have loaned over $1,400 to 46 individuals or

groups.

Earth Day Dinner

Each year, we host a dinner to raise money for international needs such as Syrian Refugees, orphan

victims of the Ebola virus and the Haitian Earthquake victims.

“Souper Bowl Sunday”

The children collect cans of soup and funds for our local food pantry. We also enjoy yummy

homemade soups for the coffee hour that day.

North Elba Christmas Fund

Snowsuits, hats, mittens, boots, sleds, blankets, toys and diapers are provided to needy children in

our community. Christmas dinners are provided for the less fortunate. Senior citizens are given

fruit baskets or poinsettias so they know they are not forgotten.

Dominican Republic Mission

We organize a fund-raising dinner for the mission which nets almost $1,000 with over 50 dinners

served. All the cooking is now done in our own kitchen.

Relay For Life Team

St. Eustace participates in our local Relay For Life raising over $300 for the American Cancer

Society. Our team offers prayers for survivors, caregivers and anyone who would like to receive a

blessing.

Medical Mission & Prescribing Prevention The Episcopal Diocese of Albany Mission to the Dominican Republic

The St. Eustace Ecumenical Mission to The Dominican Republic is a church spiritual based,

medical mission with a Potable Water Adjunct. Started in 1999, by The Very Rev. William Small

(interim priest), the 2018 mission celebrated its 20th year. The team’s base is St. Eustace Episcopal

Church but the team is blessed with Christians from many different faiths. It is currently

coordinated by Robin Baxter, RN of St. Eustace Church. The mission team works in cooperation

with the Episcopal Diocese of the Dominican Republic ("Iglesia Episcopal Dominicana").

The funding for the Mission Project is provided solely through monetary donations and supplies

from churches, service organizations, businesses and friends. Team members pay their own airfare

and accommodations. (Some team members are sponsored by friends, families or churches as

well).

The team includes clergy, physicians, professional nurses, translators and lay personnel to be on

prayer teams and assist the medical team as necessary. The team has returned to the same

community outside of Santo Domingo for the last 10 years and worked with the St. Thomas

Episcopal Church in the Dominican Republic. It is a 9 day short-term mission trip yearly. The

team members feel very blessed each year!

This year the St. Eustace Medical Mission to the Dominican Republic completed its 20 th year.

Sometime before 2005, I heard Robin Baxter give a presentation about this medical mission during

which she mentioned the medical prescribers treated the same patients for the same waterborne

illnesses year after year because these patients re-infect themselves by drinking microbiologically

contaminated water. Having just retired from a 28 year career as the Lake Placid Village water

treatment plant operator, I knew I could correct this situation. It was in 2005 that the safe potable

enhancement to the medical mission was begun and two years later this enhancement was launched.

Please go to the Prescribing Prevention (PP) web page for all the details such as history, technology,

my biography, and much more than anyone would ever want to know:

Fellowship

Sunday Coffee Hour

Following the Sunday worship services, parishioners gather for coffee and treats.

Parish Picnic

We enjoy an annual summer parish picnic. This year it will be held at a parishioner’s home.

Dining Out

The St. Eustace Fellowship Committee plans monthly events. Over the last few years, many

dinners in local restaurants have been well attended. Often local events are combined with these

dinners such as presentations by the Lake Placid Historical Society, events at Lake Placid Center

for the Arts, local performances and some out-of-town special events where people carpool and

make a day of it. An afternoon at Blue Mountain Lake Museum and a Dinner Cruise on Lake

George are two examples of enjoyable trips that have taken place.

“Knitwits”

The St. Eustace “Knitwits” meet on Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. to knit items which include baby

blankets and sweaters, lap robes, scarves, hats and mittens. They are gifts for baptisms, shut-ins

and for those who are ill and donated to various causes or sold with the proceeds going to the

outreach committee. We enjoy coffee and fellowship. Each “Knitwit” contributes a dollar per week

which is donated to the Ecumenical Food Pantry.

TLC Luncheon

The “TLC” (the Thursday Lunch Club) meets the second Thursday of each month (except June,

July and August) at 12:30 p.m.. Each member brings a sandwich. Condiments, dessert and coffee

are provided. Monthly cards, designed by our church secretary, are signed by those attending and

then mailed to about 25 people: shut-ins, those who are ill, summer parishioners and those just

needing a little cheer. It is an important form of outreach as we receive several thank you letters

each month.

TOPS

TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) meets every Thursday at 5:00 p.m. in the St. Eustace Library.

This is a committed, warm and friendly group that meet for moral support to help members follow

their quest to lose weight. No pressure, confidential weigh-ins and tips with helpful suggestions

are shared on how to improve one's general health and well-being.
