Our 9:00 AM worship
service and Christian
education program help
many members of our
church family in strengthening their faith, and
their ties to each other
and to our community.
From the opening hymn

turned off and last door

being done with children
and adults.
The lessons we hear,

Vestry Update: Redefining our Vision
“Without
a
vision,
the
people
perish.”
(Proverbs
29:18)
And
the corollary,
then, is: With
a vision, the
people
and
the
church
thrive
and
become all that God calls them to be.
It has been ten years since the Vestry
and People of St. Luke’s have come
together to listen to God, to one another, to our community and the world in
an intentional way to discover fresh
vision that will lead us into the future in
mission. Our Vestry began that process while on retreat at Richmond Hill
in early January. Here is our Senior
Finance Repor t
Warden’s (Peter Boone’s) summary
of that process:
Your vestry met on January 3rd 4th at Richmond Hill to explore the
values, mission and vision of St.
Luke's and the church. We were
challenged to identify the core values
that we believe to be the essence of
our Christian lives as members of St.
Luke's. After much discussion these
are the values upon which we
agreed:

Christ Centered

Community Outreach (accepting
and welcoming)

Spiritual growth

Healing - body, mind, and spirit;
the
Prescription,
“binding
wounds, healing soul”)

Youth (who they truly are)
We will soon be asking you to join us
in looking to that good vision and to all
that we are blessed to share.
We have begun the process of discerning vision with identifying our core
values as a community. We are also
studying the demographics and trends
of our community, listening for how
the Spirit is calling us to serve in this
place at this time and in the future.
Would you also think about what our
core values are and let us know what
you are thinking? As the Vestry, we
want to invite you into this holy conversation we are having. We will
schedule a “town hall meeting” in the
spring to hear your thoughts. We are
also considering the use of a new survey, The Church Assessment Tool (or
“CAT”), as a way to bring all of us into
this conversation. Look for more information in the near future.

Lenten Series Preview: Final Gifts
Final Gifts, a book written by two hospice nurses, Maggie Callanan and Patricia Kelley, invites us into the intimate
moments of dying and opens our eyes
to the gift of this season of life. Do read
this inspirational book! We will use it in
our Wednesday evening Lenten series
this year as a springboard to talk about
dying, death, resurrection, and all the
practical aspects of this season of life: hospice care, medical directives, making or updating a will, designating power of attorney, writing an obituary, planning a burial service, estate planning, and legacy gifts. Many of us have
parents who are in or approaching this season of life;
some of us have already
walked through this time with
loved ones; all of us will one
day enter it. Lent is an appropriate
time of the church year to talk about
“holy living and holy dying”, a title
borrowed from the works of 17th century Anglican bishop, Jeremy Taylor.
Look for more details in next month’s
Prescription. The series will begin on
Wednesday, March 12th and run for
a total of five weeks.
Please put these Lenten events on
your calendar!
Tuesday, March 4: Shrove Tuesday
Pancake Supper (sponsored by the
Men of the Church)
Wednesday, March 5: Ash Wednesday – Holy Eucharist with imposition
of ashes at 12 Noon and 7 PM.
Saturday, March 8: Lenten Quiet
Day begins with Centering Prayer at
8:30 AM, followed by a brief instruction on walking the labyrinth as a
spiritual practice. We hope to feature
brief instruction on other spiritual
practices so that participants can
choose how they will use the morning in prayer and meditation. Look
for more information in the March
edition of The Prescription.
Rite 13 Studies Prayer
The Rite 13 class began a unit on prayer
on the last Sunday in
January.
Students
removed their shoes
outside of the classroom and used linens, candles and flowers to create their
own personal prayer
space within our newly
created "Holy Ground".
Time for silent prayer
was allowed. Following
this, the students discussed what prayer is
and why we pray. The
insight and perception
these young people
displayed in their answers is truly remarkable.
Rite 13 students will
continue to focus on
prayer for the next several
months, exploring types of
prayers, the variety of
methods for praying and
the importance of prayer to
both the community and
individuals. We look forward to the opportunity to
walk a labyrinth as part of
one of our lessons
and to receiving
instruction on healing prayer in another lesson. Our
curriculum
provides sample prayers for the students to use and we
will also spend time writing our own
prayers. Members of the congregation are invited to share favorite
prayers of their own during this unit.
You may leave a copy of your prayer in Anne Larrick's box in the office.
The family of Ray Evans thanks all of you for your love and prayers these past
few months. That final week was just right. All of us were surrounded with
your love. God’s love certainly shines through all of you.
Much love, The Evans family

New Opportunities for Healing Prayer
In addition to healing prayer offered
on Wednesday evenings as part of the
Eucharist, we will have healing prayer
ministers available beginning in Lent
for Sunday services. If you wish to receive prayer for yourself or ask for intercessory prayer for others, after you
receive communion, you may visit the
prayer team (two persons) who will
pray briefly with you. You may choose
to state your request to the team or just
ask them to pray – they will take it from
there! They will ask permission to lay
hands on you (most likely on your
shoulder or holding your hands) and to
anoint you with oil. Both touch and the
use of oil in healing prayer are outward, visible signs of the inner grace
one receives in prayer. With touch
those praying offer themselves to be
vessels of God’s near presence. Oil for
unction (anointing) is olive oil blessed
by the Bishop during Holy Week and
set apart for this special use. Oil has
natural healing properties; thus, the
grace of God builds upon nature with
this special oil – it conveys what it
signifies, to use sacramental language. You may request healing
prayer for yourself or others as often
as you like – there is no limit! Remember that healing can be physical
improvement or cure, as we often
think of “healing” to be, yet healing is
also emotional, spiritual, and relational, involving our whole being. Perhaps it is more helpful to think of
healing as “wholeness”.
As you see this ministry going on
during communion, join in the prayers
silently from where you are seated
and be the praying, healing community you are. At the 9 AM Holy Eucharist in the Parish Hall prayer teams
will be located at the opposite end of
the room from the kitchen. For all
services in the church building, a
prayer team will be stationed where
the acolytes are usually seated, near
the organ. During Communion, the
acolytes will move to the chairs near
the lectern to give privacy and space
for this ministry.
We invite your feedback and comments on this ministry as we “try it
out” during Lent. Let us know what is
helpful, how you are touched by God
in this ministry, and how we can
make it more accessible. If you are
unable to come forward for communion or healing prayer and would like
to receive this ministry, please let an
usher or greeter know so that we
can come to you!
February is Heart Month
All of us are aware of heart health
practices such as a healthy diet, getting regular exercise and not smoking,
but did you know there are some other
“non-medical” activities that we can do
to help reduce our risk of cardiovascular disease?




Volunteer - Canadian researchers
who studied volunteers discovered
cholesterol, BMI and inflammation
dropped after their opportunity for
service compared to a group of
their peers who didn't get the
chance to give back.
Laugh – Laughter increases blood
flow roughly the same amount as
as light exercise or cholesterollowing drugs would.
Relax - People who are,
in general,
more relaxed, easy-going and
down to earth have a lower risk of
heart disease, according to U.S.
News.
See the glass “half-full” – Being
optimistic has been linked to a
longer life and a lower risk of
heart disease.

Have A Furry Friend – A recent
study showed that pet owners
with high blood pressure or cholesterol had a greater likelihood
of surviving heart disease.

Snuggle - Getting close to someone you care about benefits more
than just your relationship. Cud-
dling, hugging, kissing can reduce stress and lower blood
pressure ( giving you a whole
new excuse to schedule some
quality time)

You Sit AND Stand - People
who sit for the majority of the
day are 54 percent more likely
to die of a heart attack.

Get the right amount of Sleep
- Getting too much or too little
sleep can increase your risk of
heart problems. Adults should
get 7-9 hours of sleep. Those
who get less than six or or more
than eight hours a night were
more likely to experience
stroke, heart failure and heart
attack.

Thanks for Your Support of the Gathering
My Dear Friends:
I cannot begin to thank each and
every one of you for your love and
support for The Gathering Place.
You cannot begin to know the difference you all have made in the lives
of the members of our Community.
The open arms of all who participate in this ministry have reached
farther and wider than any of us
could have imagined. When we began 15 months ago we had no idea
what the impact would be, if any. It is
because God imagines so much more
that, through St. Luke's, surround us every week, speak so
loudly of your commitment to
do the Gospel.
I am abundantly blessed to be
one of the recipients of your
amazing love to the least, the
lost, and the lonely who live on
the margins of our society.
Thank you and God bless you
all.
for us than we can ever imagine.
The open arms of the love of God
Faithfully,
Becki Dean+

Update for Children’s Prayer Partners
Many thanks to all who volunteered
to be an adult praying for a child in
2014. This important ministry serves
to draw our congregation ever closer
to one another. Several individuals
who were unable to commit to pray for
a specific child did let me know that
they will be praying for the well being
and continued spiritual growth of all of
our youth. Believe me, the children
can use all the prayer they can get!
By February 1, all adults should
have received the name of the child
they will be praying for this year.
Please make the effort to contact
your child to let them know who you
are by the end of February.
If you do not receive the information
about your child, please contact Anne
Larrick
(804-598-7679
or
anne.larrick@gmail.com). Parents, if
your child does not hear from an adult
by the end of the month of February,
you can also contact me and let me
know that.
