JULY-AUGUST 2014 JULIO–AGOSTO 2014
Rector’s Corner
Reflection on the Goals
of the Parish
Goal 1: Develop closer relationship
between the Anglo and the Hispanic
members of the Parish.
 Inclusion: Blanca Maldonado of the Vestry has pointed





out that the Spanish members feel more a part of
the Parish now. Blanca is a valued member of the
Vestry, answering questions and teaching us about
being Latino in the Church.
Music: Tim Nickel has made special effort to make our
bilingual services much improved through the selection of music. Thanks, Tim!
Finances: The fundraising of those who attend the Spanish service has had a nice impact on the financial
life of the Parish according to the Treasurer, Doug
Goodlett.
Leadership: The initiative of Willy Silva to form the
Comite Hispano has drawn other leaders from the late
service. Maria Zambrano, Maria Zepeda, Blanca
Maldonado, Janeth Hernandez and Ana Mariscal
and lots more have stepped up.
Hospitality: Maria Zambrano is our liaison with the Aztec dance group, Cristo de Chalma that has danced
for our celebrations like Cinco de Mayo
Celebration: Significantly, this is the 15th year of the
ministry in Spanish, and we should mark the date
with a Quinceañera.
Goal 2: Expand Outreach Programs Into the
Community and Beyond.
 Daily Volunteers: The Outreach Committee added daily
volunteers to staff the distribution of food, clothing
and bus passes.
 Growing Demand: The Committee heard from the
Wednesday volunteers about increasing demand




for road bags, and initiated making fresh sandwiches and allocated funds.
Benefits of Direct Service: Direct contact with the clients is important for the health of the Parish: When
we get our hands dirty in the service of our fellow
human beings, we are transformed by an encounter
with the Pilgrim Christ. Just ask any volunteer
about their story, and they will tell you.
Leadership: Thanks are due to the Senior Warden, Dena
Cassidy, and the chair of the committee, Kreta
Saathoff, all of the daily, Wednesday volunteers,
and all the committee for their dedication.
The World: We heard from the Church in Pakistan on
June 15th with The Rev. Jeffrey Samuel. We have
another visit coming up by the Philippines
(Episcopal Diocese of Southern Philippines) on
Tuesday, July 29th.
ADA Remodeling: Last but not least, the remodeling has
started to make us more inclusive of our members
and neighbors with mobility impediments.
Goal 3: Promote the Growth of the Parish.
 Average Attendance over 200: We are growing, but
numbers tell only a fraction of the story.
 Strain on Finances: There is always a concern about how
we will pay for programs like Sunday School, VBS,
the nursery, Outreach, etc. But the leadership for all
our programs is working very hard to ensure a
healthy and loving community for all.
 The Importance of Pledging: Pledges are the core of Parish funding for all programs, and creative ways to
involve people in ministry will result in better funding of programs that we care about. Growth in
pledging, which has lagged behind numerical
growth, is an area where the Parish has a great challenge.
 The Choirs: And the Choirs continue to grow. Recently a
rehearsal brought in 30 people to sing! Kudos to our
Director of Music, Tim Nickel, and the bell and “no-
2
THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO
bell” choirs.
Goal 4: Provide opportunities to grow in faith
in a safe social environment.
 Marriage Equality: The Parish showed care and re-
spect with the way the change in the Marriage
Policy was implemented. More open discussion
of topics that General Convention and the Diocese are modeling for us is needed.
 The Challenge: The Church must play its role in creating the safe environment to talk about issues that
are political and controversial. I could use your
ideas and your guidance, your leadership and
support in creating areas of respectful and meaningful dialog.
Goal 5: Continued support of pastoral care
program with training for new members.
 Dissemination: After creating the Final Chapters of




Life program and then publishing it on our web page
in 2013, the Pastoral Care Committee continues to
update and disseminate the program. It has been
noted and picked up by the Diocesan Stewardship officer. Recently I shared information at the
continuing education conference I attended at
Pacific Lutheran University.
New Members: The Pastoral Care Committee has added new members. Training is still in draft form at
this time.
Support Group: The Life Goes On meeting at Glenwood continues to draw new people, and Glenwood has taken an interest in seeing if it can refer
residents to the program.
Moving Help: Recently an extended group of the
Committee helped with a person moving into
assisted living by picking up and storing furniture.
Leadership. Good ministry is happening in this area,
and credit goes to Fr Dennis Cole for his care and
leadership of the Committee.

Rincón del Rector
Pensamientos sobre las
Metas de la Parroquia
Meta 1: Forjar relaciones más estrechos entres los miembros Hispanos y Anglos
 Inclusión: Blanca Maldonado, miembro del Vestry
(Junta Parroquial) ha indicado que los miembros hispanoparlantes se sienten más parte
de la Parroquia ahora. Blanca es miembro valiosa del Vestry, respondiendo a preguntas y
enseñándonos sobre ser latino en la iglesia.
 Música: Tim Nickel, Director de Música, ha hecho un esfuerzo especial para hacer nuestras
misas bilingües mejor por la selección de la
música. Gracias, Tim.
 Finanzas: Los Hispanos han tenido un impacto
positivo en la vida financiera de la Parroquia,
según nuestro Tesorero, Doug Goodlett.
 Liderazgo: La iniciativa de Willy Silva para formar un Comité Hispano ha atraído a otros
líderes. Debemos gracias a María Zepeda,
Blanca Maldonado, Ana Mariscal, Janeth
Hernández y a todos por aportar su apoyo.
 Hospitalidad: María Zambrano nos ha ligado con
el grupo de danzantes aztecas, Cristo d e
Chalma, que ha bailado para nuestras celebraciones como Cinco de Mayo.
 Celebración: Este es el 15° año del ministerio
nuestro en español, y debemos marcar el
acontecimiento con una Quinceañera.
Meta 2: Expandir Programas Sociales a la
Comunidad y Más
 Voluntarios Diarios: El Comité ha añadido voluntarios para atender la distribución de ropa, comida y boletos del bus.
 Crecimiento de Demanda: El Comité escucho sobre el crecimiento de demanda por sacos de
lonche, e inició hacer tortas y colocar fondos.
 Beneficios de Contacto en Servicio: Contacto di-
THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO
recto con nuestros clientes es importante
por la Parroquia. Cuando ensuciamos nuestras manos en servicio a otros, nos transformamos por un encuentro con Cristo Peregrino. Pregúntele a cualquier voluntario sobre su historia.
 Liderazgo: Gracias debemos a la Guardia Mayor,
Dena Cassidy, y el presidente del Comité,
Kreta Saathoff, todos los voluntarios diarios, de los miércoles y el comité por su dedicación.
 El Mundo: Hemos tenido la visita de R.P Jeffrey
Samuel de Pakistán a las misas de inglés el
15 de junio. Representantes de la Diócesis
Episcopal del Sur de las Filipinas vienen
martes, el 29 de Julio para una visita.
 Remodelación: Por último, se ha comenzado la
remodelación para dar acceso a personas en
silla de ruedas o con falta de movilidad.
Meta 3: Promover el Crecimiento de la
Parroquia
 Promedio de Asistencia más que 200: Estamos
creciendo, pero los números son pequeña
fracción de la historia.
 Reto para Finanzas: Siempre hay una preocupación sobre cómo pagar por nuestros programas como Escuela Dominical, la guardería, y programas de ayuda. Pero el liderazgo
está trabajando duro para asegurar una comunidad sana y amorosa para todos.
 La Importancia de la Promesa: La Promesa es
la base de finanzas para todos programas
que nos importan. Crecimiento en promesas
ha andado retrasado en vista del crecimiento, un área que nos da gran reto.
 Los Coros: Y el CORO sigue creciendo. Un ensayo tuvo asistencia de 30. Felicidades a
nuestro Director de Música, Tim Nickel, y el
coro de campanas y el coro de voces.
3
Meta 4: Proveer oportunidades para crecer en
fe en un contexto social de seguridad
 Igualdad en Matrimonio: La Parroquia demostraba cuidado y respeto en la forma que
cambió la Política de Matrimonio. Más discurso sobre temas desde la Convención General y la Diócesis se necesita.
 El Reto: La Iglesia tiene que tomar su papel de
crear ambientes seguros para conversar sobre temas que son políticas y controversiales. Quiero obtener sus ideas y guía, su liderazgo y apoyo para crear áreas de dialogo
respetable y razonable.
Meta 5: Apoyo continúo del programa de
capellanía y entrenamiento para miembros
nuevos
 Diseminación: Después de crear Los capítulos
finales de la vida y publicarlo en la página de
web en 2013, el comité de Capellanía continua actualizando y distribuyendo el programa. La oficina de mayordomía de la diócesis lo incorporó. Y hace poco lo compartí
con la conferencia que asistí en Pacific Lutheran University.
 Nuevos Miembros: Hemos añadidos miembros
nuevos, pero nos falta terminar el entrenamiento para prepararlos.
 Grupo de Apoyo: El Grupo Life Goes On sigue
reuniéndose en Glenwood y atrae gente
nueva. Ha recibido la atención de Glenwood.
 Mudanza: Un grupo del comité ayudo a una
persona mudarse para un refugio de ancianos, y almacenó algunas cosas para ella en
la iglesia.
 Liderazgo: Es buen ministerio que se lleva a cabo
en el área del pastoral, y el crédito va a Padre Dennis Cole por su cuidado y liderazgo
del Comité.

most of his life but is currently on a break from it.
He hopes to play soccer in the fall and enjoys running. After high school he's thinking of studying biochemistry or engineering. I asked him about what
challenges have tested his faith and he stated having
struggled with asthma as a kid and breaking his
arm. I asked him how he got through those tough
times and he replied by staying positive. What he
enjoys about St. Luke’s the most are his friends in
the youth group and "Father Jaime is really cool
too!"

GETTING TO KNOW OUR YOUTH
Noah Kalman:
The first thing I noticed about 14 year
old student and acolyte, Noah, was his
smile. He seems to radiate positive energy as I sit down to learn more about
this bright young man.
Noah is an eighth grade student at McLoughlin Middle School who will start high school in the fall at
Fort Vancouver. He has attended St. Luke's since the
sixth grade. Noah has a total of three sisters, the
youngest, Aiden who lives with him and his parents.
He has participated in the youth group and acolyte
program since sixth grade. He likes to draw and is
learning Japanese online. Noah has played baseball
SUMMER LECTIONARY CLASS:
Sundays at 11:45 in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit
(Children’s Chapel) beginning June 29, Fr. Jaime will
have a Bible study based on the Lectionary. The Lectionary is the selection of lessons (Old Testament,
Psalm, Epistle and Gospel) that changes every Sunday according to a carefully designed plan to cover
most of the Bible. No previous class necessary. We
will look at the Collect of the Day (which also changes) with the lessons, and try to answer our questions
about the day’s lessons.
My Church
I do not see my church in rules and regulation,
But I see my church in the glory of creation.
I see my church in God’s devotion.
In the towering mountains and in the restless ocean.
Church does not have to be made of stone and clay,
I see my church in a summer garden
on a beautiful day
And when I look up to the Milky Way.
I find my church by a quiet stream,
In that quiet place where I can rest and dream.
I find my church in the valleys and the hills
And when I see the golden daffodils.
Yes, I find my church in all creation,
God’s power beyond imagination.

EDUCATION FOR MINISTRY AT
ST. LUKE'S ~ SAN LUCAS:
Do you know that you're a minister? According to
our Catechism (BCP p. 855) lay persons are the first
and largest group of ministers in the church! Every
baptized person is called to ministry. If you would
like to learn more about our Holy Scriptures, church
history and traditions, or just what "being a minister"
means to you in your day-to-day life, Education for
Ministry (EfM) might be for you. EfM is a structured
program of theological education for adult lay persons, designed and sponsored by the School of Theology at the University of the South in Sewanee, TN,
one of the Episcopal Church's seminaries. EfM is a
four year program, participants commit to one year at
a time, led by a trained and accredited mentor. Meeting together weekly and following an academic calendar (September through May or June), participants
will learn in a small group setting, worship together,
and participate in the program's major tool for learning, Theological Reflection. Through Theological Reflection participants sharpen their skills of personal
and cultural assessment and enhance their abilities to
be effective in a variety of ministries.
EfM at St. Luke's will be facilitated by accredited
mentor Brandon Hudson. The 2014-2015 academic
term will be Brandon's tenth year of involvement
with the EfM program, and his seventh year as a
group mentor. New to Vancouver, Brandon and his
partner Ty Johnson recently moved to Washington
from Springdale, Arkansas. Brandon studied Classics, Religious Studies and Music at the University of
Arkansas, Fayetteville, and is also a visual artist who
paints in oils and acrylics (you may see some examples of Brandon's work at
www.brandonjhudsonfineart.com) Look for Brandon
at church to get an official prospectus and brochure
for Education for Ministry. Brandon can be reached
at bhjavajunkie@yahoo.com or at 479502-2784. For more information regarding EfM, check out the program's website at EFM
Brandon Hudson
WEDNESDAY HOLY EUCHARIST
Wednesday, 12:15PM Holy Eucharist and healing services are now being held in the Chapel of the Holy
Spirit (Children’s Chapel) until construction is completed or further notice. This will be a lovely change
and an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Gifts of the
Spirit windows.
TAIZÉ
During July and August there will be NO Taize services. Watch for news of the September service,
Saturday, September 20 at 6:00 pm in the
Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament.
MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE WITH US!
The first three Sundays in July Tim Nickel will be on
vacation. So we are asking for volunteers who play
guitar and/or who like to sing to help with leading
the music at the 10AM service for 7/6, 7/13 and/or
7/20. We will have a evening rehearsal for instrumentalists at 7PM each Wednesday prior. Singers are welcome too. Each Sunday we will gather at 9AM to review and practice. Please sign-up for the Sundays
you can help!
NOTES FROM THE MUSIC ROOM
After a cold month of “June-uary,” it’s time to rest,
reflect, and watch our church building grow. The
organ is shrink-wrapped and the dust is flying
around the St. Luke’s campus. How rare and exciting
for a church in this day and age to be expanding and
retooling. The choir has had a significant year of
growth, both in numbers and in challenges met. The
bell ringers have become an integral part of the Sunday morning worship experience with Sanctus peals,
calls to worship, and hymn accompaniments, along
with an occasional Bach chorale prelude or Grieg sacred piece. Many, many thanks are due to our large
and dedicated group of volunteer church musicians!
Nancy and I are headed off to Europe again. The non
-stop Delta flight from PDX to Amsterdam is too
good to pass up. We plan to spend roughly a week in
THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO
the Bremen area of Germany, a week in England,
and a week in France, with a few duet organ recitals
to present amidst the R&R. We are marking a few
significant milestones in our lives by taking Nancy’s
dream trip – hiking the cliff walk in Cornwall from
St. Ives to Penzance at a leisurely pace with B&Bs in
remote villages waiting for us with cream teas,
bangers, and a plowman or two. Nancy has traced
the Cornish side of her mother’s family to the tiny
town of Gwinear near St. Ives which boasts one of
the finest change-ringing groups in the area, made
famous by their YouTube posting. (Think of about
twelve large bells like the single one in our bell tower played in various changing patterns, one ringer
per bell rope. For related summer mystery reading,
look for The Nine Tailors by Dorothy Sayers!)
In Bremen we hope to play on an
organ that Bach played. We will
also return to Chaource, a little
town in l’Aube near the NW corner of Burgundy, to play an organ we experienced three years
ago, built when J. S. Bach was
about to become a teenager. (See
photo.) The organ is pitched a
whole-step lower than concert pitch and is tuned
according to a medieval tempering system that renders music in more than two sharps or flats unusable. Across the square from the ancient 12th century
stone church, which is being eaten by mushrooms
by the way, you will find the French National
Cheese Museum. Look for Chaource at your local
cheese monger. Charles de Gaulle said that it was
impossible to govern a country that produced over
350 different cheeses. Bon appetite!
During my vacation time in July, volunteer guitarists and singers will lead our Sunday morning worship. See Kris in the office if you would like to join
in. On the last Sunday in July, we will again have
an informal summer choir meeting at 9:15 before
the 10 AM service in the Choir Room and volunteers are always welcome.
If you plan to sing with the singers or ring with the
ringers at St. Luke’s, you are invited to a Fun-in-theGorge get-together tentatively scheduled for Satur-
7
day, September 6th. See me for the emerging details on hiking, biking, golf, white-water
rafting, wine-tasting, pub-crawling, and
the like in and around the heart of the
Gorge – Carson, WA?
Have a restful and blessed summer.
Tim Nickel, Director of Music
COMMUNION BREAD BAKERS
Many hands make light work and yummy
communion bread. If you like to bake why not join
our Bread Guild? The commitment is usually once
every six or seven weeks. We'd love more helpers
with this ministry. Contact Kathleen Brown at
360-241-3604.
Out Into The World
OUTREACH UPDATE
The Outreach clothes closet has been closed
due to the remodel. As soon as the elevator lift
is installed, the closet will be reopened nearby.
Last week we needed to remove the clothes and
put them downstairs to store. We also spent
time reorganizing downstairs. We pulled
men's and women's career clothes. Jamie
Mathieu delivered these clothes to the Dress for
Success program. I want to thank the following
for helping with this effort: Lynne Hulse, Jill
Boyd, Stefanie Aschmann, Jamie Mathieu, and
Stephen Butler . Outreach volunteers will continue helping out during the week with food
distribution; family and single bags, road bags
and or fresh sack lunches, if available. They
will also pass out bus tickets and sundries.
Thank you to our weekly volunteers: Ruth
Werts, Joan McLean, Hanni Bureker, Jill Boyd,
Peggy Sue Snoey, Sandra Kimura, Lee Wilson,
Kristina Clark, Lynne Hulse, Anne Ammerman
and Stephen Butler. We would like to continue
passing out socks, however our inventory is
8
THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO
very low. Please consider a donation of men's,
women's and/or children's socks. For the summer months sunblock would be a welcome donation. Monetary donations to Outreach goes
toward food bags, bus tickets and support for
other charities. Donations to the Rector’s Discretionary fund helps folks with utility bills,
rent and other needs. We can always use a
helping hand sorting clothes by gender and for
seasonal needs. Just add your name to the signup sheet on Sundays or call the office during
the week.
Peace, Dena Cassidy
CARBON OFFSET COOPERATIVE
MISSION
Tuesday, July 29th at 6 PM St
Luke’s ~ San Lucas will host a
delegation from the Episcopal
Diocese of Southern Philippines.
The occasion of the visit is to
deepen the relationship between
Olympia and EDSP (Episcopal Diocese of Southern
Philippines) on the carbon offset project described
in this 2012 article from the Olympia website. At
this time we are not sure who the visitors from
EDSP will be, but please, make them feel the
warmth of our famous hospitality and come and
learn about a special relationship with the Episcopal Church of the Philippines.
In 2012 the Rt. Rev. Greg Rickel, Bishop of Olympia,
and the Rt. Rev. Danilo Bustamante, Bishop of the
Episcopal Diocese of Southern Philippines (EDSP),
signed a Covenant for Caring of All Creation, in
which the two dioceses agreed to establish a carbon
offset partnership. As part of that partnership, the
Diocese of Olympia agrees to encourage the funding of carbon offsets from the EDSP, which will be
used to offset our carbon emissions from travel by
clergy, staff and others from all across our diocese. Likewise, the Diocese of the Southern Philippines will be using the funds for various reforestation projects to create these offsets at $25 per ton of
carbon sequestered. There is a link included below
to help calculate your
carbon footprint.
As of April of 2014 we
have donated over
$10,000 for Carbon Offsets which have funded
the tree nursery in Upi
in the Diocese of Southern Philippines. Over 7000
trees have been transferred from the nursery to help
with reforestation there. The nursery not only is
helping with carbon sequestration but it also is creating jobs and income. Rubber trees, mahogany,
coffee, and other tropical varieties are being
grown. In the summer of 2014 it is planned for a
delegation from the EDSP will visit the Diocese of
Olympia traveling to several churches and seeing
our work lowering our carbon footprint.
You can learn more about the covenant and Bishop
Rickel's journey to the Philippines, including more
photos and video, on his blog (view this and following links from St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas’ website).
More information on this cooperative mission will
be available on his blog in the coming days. Meantime, you can also learn more about the Bishop's
Committee on the Environment, whose members
are partnering in this cooperative mission, at their
page on this site.
To donate to the Carbon Offset Cooperative Mission, visit our Give Now page and scroll down to
Login or New Mission Supporter to go to our Contribution page. Once there, scroll down the list of
Fund accounts to the Carbon Offsets Philippines
account and purchase your Carbon Offsets at $25
per ton. Click here to Give Now.
To calculate your own carbon footprint, use the Environmental Protection Agency's calculator, which
the Bishop's Committee on the Environment has
recommended as its calculator of choice.
WILL YOU BE A SPONSOR FOR A
CHILD LIVING IN POVERTY?
For a $25 monthly contribution, you can provide a
desperately poor child with the critical benefits
needed to overcome such things as disease, hunger,
illiteracy and hopelessness. More information on
THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO
the Children International program is on the bulletin
board near the office. If you decide you want to sponsor a child please contact Fr. Jaime for forms.

THE CLOUD THAT WAS
OVER ST. LUKE’S
In the early days of St. Luke’s, the Church was active
in the community, and attended by many leading
members of the Vancouver community, as well as the
military at Fort Vancouver. Not long after Reverend
10
THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO
McCarty came to Vancouver (Feb. 1853), a small
cloud formed over the Fort and the community. It
certainly wasn’t due to Rev. McCarty’s arrival, nor
that of many other recent arrivals. Rather, in May
1853, Catholic Bishop Blanchet filed a 640 acre land
claim on behalf of the St. James Mission with the Surveyor General in Oregon City.
The land claim continued in the courts, up to the U.S.
Supreme Court which in 1895 ruled that the mission
deserved ½ acre only. The City of Vancouver in the meantime flourished, as did St.
Luke’s and other local churches.
The cloud that was formed by this land claim was
based on an Act of Congress in 1848 that allowed
missions that served Native Americans to file for
claims up to 640 acres around the mission, as well as
improvements on the claimed land. Bishop
Blanchet’s claim included most of the Fort Vancouver
military reservation on the east, on the south from
the Columbia River to 19th Street, and on the west
from Franklin Street to Fort Vancouver. The claim
was later valued at over $5,000,000.
CALLING ALL ARTISTS!
The Catholic Church did in fact have a mission in the
vicinity of the Fort. However the Hudson’s Bay Company later stated that they were never officially a
mission, just paid to minister to local Catholics.
The City of Vancouver, the U.S. Government, and
many others disputed the land claim. Bishop Blanchet had based his claim on not only where the mission
had been located, but also where the parishioners
were located, as well as those providing supplies to
the mission. The claim was kicked around the courts
and various politicians in Washington D.C. One
Attorney General said that the mission had the right
to four times the filed claim of 640 acres.
Can you imagine what this did to the future of the
City of Vancouver? To the future of local churches
like St. Luke’s? To the businesses in downtown Vancouver? To Esther Short Park? It was risky to build
on land if the land title was disputed.
Due to some heavy negotiating by St. Luke’s leaders,
including Joseph Fletcher and Louis Sohns, as well as
others, a deal was reached in 1872. The city administered a trust, in which the Catholic Diocese gave quit
claims to persons and entities within the land claim,
as long as they were paid, and the quit claim did not
mean that the land claim was invalid. St. Luke’s paid
$33.33 for its quit claim. The original quit claim document is in the Archive Vault.

Visual artists of Saint Luke's, would you be interested
in participating in a monthly artist's evening, to encourage each other in the pursuit of your creative art?
This group could be the core of an association to contribute art shows, education, create liturgical art, foster continuing education through workshops, and
participate in fundraisers for our Parish. A sign-up
sheet is available now on Sundays, and as soon as
there is expressed interest, Don Lonsbrough will contact those signed-up and coordinate the first meeting. Artists in all visual media are welcome, painting, weaving, quilting, ceramics, calligraphy, photography. We will work toward having an evening of
arts, possibly combined with our music department,
at different seasons in the year. Please indicate your
interest by signing the sheet, leaving your name and
phone number.

FUND RAISING COMMITTEE
Plans are underway for a Holiday Craft Sale to benefit the parish Outreach activities. Items would be
hand made by parishioners and donated to the sale.
Our members could work at home or participate in
a “Crafts Guild” which would meet periodically to
work together on craft projects. Items donated will
be sold at a well-publicized event close to Thanksgiving Day. There is an endless number or items
that could be made and many don’t require trained
artistic skills. Items would be tagged, “Hand Made
by members of St. Luke’s-San Lucas Episcopal
Church to benefit the parishes community outreach
activities”.
MINISTRY LEADERS MEETING
There will be a Ministry Leaders Meeting on Saturday, July 19th from 10AM to Noon. The purpose
of the meeting will be to develop a list of our needs
and to set priorities to be a part of this remodel.
Please plan on attending!
MID-YEAR ACCUMULATIVE
DIRECTORY UPDATES
It’s almost a year since we distributed the new Parish Directory and already there have been many
additions, changes/corrections and a few deletions.
So if you’ve lost track of modifications since January here’s a handy helper. Please find this insert in
this issue of The Messenger. Just slip it into your
directory for easy reference. Are you new and
would like a parish directory or somehow didn’t

Revenues: Revenues: Actual revenues as of May
are on target but are predicted to not meet
budget expectations by year-end. When prepaid pledges are accounted for, our net income
is actually negative $17,505 at this time.
Expenses: Overall expenses are over YTD budget
projections by $10,531.
Additional Comments:
Please remember to continue making your pledge
payments to the Church over the summer months
so the church can continue to pay our bills.
We must restrict spending; or correspondingly, increase revenues the rest of the year in order to meet
our budget.
On the bright side, the church received a surprise
$20,000 check from the Mary Ellen Bates Revocable
Trust for which we are most grateful. The Vestry
has decided to keep this unrestricted cash in reserve to support the Hospitality Campaign, if needed. The church received a second check of $1,195
from the Diocese for the second to the last Church
of the Holy Spirit bond redemption.
Thanks for your continued financial
support of St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas.

LESSONS FROM THE GEESE
by Dr. Robert McNeish
As each goose flaps its wings, it creates an "uplift" for the bird
following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds
71% more flying range than if each bird flew alone.
Lesson: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because
they are traveling on the thrust of one another.
Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the
drag and resistance of trying to fly alone, and quickly gets back
into formation to take advantage of the "lifting power" of the
bird immediately in front.
Lesson: If we have as much sense as a goose, we will
join in formations with those who are headed where
we want to go.
When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies at the point position.
Lesson: It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing
leadership – with people, as with geese, interdependent with one
other.
The geese in formation honk from behind to encourage those
up front to keep up their speed.

VESTRY SUMMARY – June 2014
THOU SHALT NOT PARK: A local towing company will place no-parking signs at several spots
around our lot to dissuade unauthorized use.
Offending vehicles, trailers, etc. will be towed at the
owner's expense.
VISITORS FROM FAR AWAY: On June 15, Fr.
Jeffrey Samuel will preach at 10:00. His ministry is in
Pakistan. In late July, we will also host a dinner for
a group from the Philippines. Your Vestry has authorized financial support of all these visitors.
Please be generous, both with your hospitality and
your open-plate offerings, while they are with us.
CHAPEL MODIFICATION: To provide more flexibility in using the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament,
alternative seating arrangements, including substitution of chairs for pews, are being discussed.
PREPARE TO LAUNCH: We're getting close to
starting the ADA remodel. The final contract should
be received shortly. Then the Building Committee
and Treasurer will review it. Once it is approved,
the Vestry has authorized the Rector and Junior and
Senior Warden to sign it. Many items in parts of our
building that will be affected by construction must
be moved, cataloged, and stored safely. Please let
Lew Hampton know if you can help our hardworking Thursday Crew with that tedious but necessary process. And remember-- we'll have to put
everything back later on.
VACATION CHURCH SCHOOL: Please let Ebie
Mountford know if you can assist her with this popular annual event. It runs from July 21 to 24. Help
will be needed for setup and teardown as well as
during the week.
CALLING ALL ARTISTS! Don Lonsborough wants
to start an artist's group at St. Luke's ~ San Lucas, It
would meet monthly in members' homes. Call him
if you're interested.
ALCOHOL POLICY: After review and approval by
our Chancellor, the Vestry approved an alcohol policy for the parish. It conforms to the requirements of
our insurance agent.
Other parish policies, and Fr. Jaime's Letter of
Agreement, are also under review by the Vestry.
DELICIOSO! Our Hispanic members are starting to
15
plan another Tamale Sale. It may feature spicy and
sweet varieties.
HANG IN THERE: Remodeling will
disrupt our normal worship locations.
Services may be moved to the Parish Hall.
Please enjoy the changes. All will be even
better than ever – eventually.
Tom Amies, Clerk of the Vestry
Facility
PLAN FOR A SUMMER
OF CONSTRUCTION
Tuesday, June 17th, found the first construction personnel on site starting the
process of improving accessibility between the buildings, enlarging the narthex and expanding the choir loft. The experience of our contractor is making it easier to continue holding Sunday services where we normally celebrate together.
The surroundings are simplified but will allow us to
witness progress as it is made. The Wednesday service will be held in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit
(Children’s Chapel) throughout the construction period.
Each week will see varying conditions as the construction progresses. Construction is expected to go
well into September. We are asking all to be careful
and observe safety precautions.
Changes you might notice will include much of the
lawn being allowed to go dormant. Work activities,
building changes and new sidewalks will create
some problems in using the lawn sprinkler system
during a portion of the construction. There will also
be some minor shifts in parking space availability as
construction is staged. Thank you in advance for
dealing with the temporary challenges that may
arise. This is an excellent time to practice flexibility
and patience.
There will be opportunities for you to assist, if you’d
like - for instance, stop by on Saturday mornings at
9AM to assist with a dusting of the pews.

Our vision is to answer God’s call to be an Anglo-Hispanic faith community that works together to share the love of
Christ. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, our mission is to extend hospitality to all, to respond to human need
through service, and to grow in faith together.
