What is the MRP?
In a world that seems to thrive on initials, we have one more set for you. It is the
MRP, or the Ministry Residents Program. This project in ministry development
has been given financial support by the Lilly Endowment.
Here’s how it works:
The MRP is a collaborative project between the Virginia Theological Seminary
and six congregations in the dioceses of Maryland, Virginia, and Washington.
Congregations taking part are St. John’s Church, Ellicott City; St. Luke’s Church,
Bethesda; Christ Church, Kensington; Christ Church, Alexandria; St. Paul’s, K
Street; and our own St. Paul’s, Alexandria. Six students in their third and last year
of study at VTS complete the M.Div. degree in the context of 30 hours a week
as “ministry residents” in their teaching congregation. A second year is spent
in full-time residence in the same congregation, and continues the learning and
formation after graduation and ordination. This model has its roots in the belief
that a seminarian is better able to transition from seminary to ministry if his or
her experience includes a strong parish context with mentoring and other means
of support.
Students chosen for the program begin their residencies on July 1, 2013. St.
Paul’s is fortunate to receive and welcome Annie Pierpoint from the Diocese of
California. When she comes to us, she will be about to enter her senior year at
seminary. Until we can officially welcome Annie, please get to know something
about her in advance.
A cradle Episcopalian, Annie graduated from the University
of California with a major in Environmental Biology and a
minor in American Studies. Her current interests include social
justice and community organizing, youth and family ministry,
and preaching. Annie writes and performs slam poetry and she
loves to explore museums and take long walks. Please make
Annie feel at home at St. Paul’s. ■

Faith@Home: Lenten Rituals
for
Children, Youth
and
L e n t e n A d u l t F o r u ms
Families
Written By Ellen King
Each year during Lent we take
time to provide some resources for
families about how to discuss and
observe this time at home. This year,
we find this an even more important
task as we continue with our Faith
@ Home initiative. Conversation
and faith practices can be a part of
everyday life, not only in one season.
However, Lent is a wonderful time
to begin to enter into some of the
faith at home rituals that other
families have been exploring for
several months now.
Faith
@
Home
Ritual is an important word and is
something that is important to family life. Sometimes
though, we confuse ritual with routine. We forget
that rituals have much deeper meanings than just
our schedules, our habits, our activities. A ritual is
spiritual, it is repetition, it is practice. Some days our
ritual practices, whether praying or reading scripture
or breaking bread with our families, bring us very
close to each other and to God. Other days they are a
challenge. But the occasions that they bring us closer
to God far outweigh the days where they are difficult.
In Lent, we have a tradition in the church of
giving things up. Lent often turns into New Years’
Resolutions Part 2. There is nothing wrong with
giving up things in our life that we don’t need.
Making space in your life and making changes is
good. However, for all the space we create in our life
we should also be encouraged to fill it with prayer,
scripture, time with people who nourish us, and time
with God.

Faith@Home
for
Adults
Written By The Rev. Ross Kane
There are several things we want
to give to families for Lent. This
month in Sunday School, your
children will all receive mite boxes
with some more information
about Faith @ Home during Lent.
These are small boxes where
children can collect their change.
During Easter we will collect
donations and give them as an
offering to our Lazarus ministry.
It is a great family practice to talk
about giving during this time.
The youth have been working on
their Compassion Bag project to
hand out during Lent. These are
bags full of essential items such as toothbrushes,
band-aids, soap, and granola bars. The youth give
these bags out to the people of St. Paul’s so that they
might keep them in their briefcases, backpacks, and
cars. Whenever you see someone who asks for help,
or may be in need of these essentials, give them a
Compassion Bag.
These are just a few ideas but we have many more
for you. We have also created a menu of rituals.
This has many resources available for families with
children. There are books, devotionals, calendars,
prayers, and just good ideas from other families. It is
available on the St. Paul’s website, blog, and through
email. During Easter, we hope to update this list, and
continually provide you with relevant ideas for Faith
@ Home. ■
This Lent, St. Paul’s Adult Forums focus on Faith@Home practices for adults. Our series, Get a Faith Lift: Holy
Practices of Lent, features St. Paul’s clergy, parishioners, and outside guests who offer vibrant ways to strengthen faith

The Boy Scouts of America have designated the Sunday
that falls before February 8 (Scouting Anniversary Day) as
Scout Sunday, which is the primary date to recognize the
contributions of young people and adults to Scouting.
On Sunday, Feb. 3 at the 9:00 a.m. family service, youth and
adult leaders and participants in scouting programs (i.e. Boy
Scout programs [Cub Scout, Webelos, Boy Scout, Venture,
Explorer, and Sea Scout], Girl Scout programs [Daisies,

Written By Judith Harris Proctor
The Episcopal churches in Alexandria are hosting a joint Lenten Series entitled Science and Faith. The programs will feature
notable experts in theology and science, and will be held at a different church each Wednesday from Feb. 20 to March 20. Each
will consist of Holy Eucharist at 6:30 p.m., a Simple Supper at 7:00 p.m., and the program from 7:30-8:30 p.m. Child care will
be provided. ■
It sounded like a good thing to try, so one summer Bo Miller signed up to take part in HEP.
Active in many aspects of church life and church
leadership, Bo lives a life that exemplifies true
servanthood. It just seemed natural for him to
volunteer for HEP.
Dr. Paul Julienne is an Adjunct Physics Professor at University of Maryland, College Park. He also
is one of the world’s preeminent theorists in the fields of photoassociation and ultracold collisions. A
past member of The Executive Council of the Episcopal Church’s Committee on Science, Technology
and Faith, Dr. Julienne will talk about whether and how science and faith are compatible.
Those initials stand for the Highland Educational
Project (HEP), which is an ecumenical outreach
ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia. Located in McDowell County, it began as
an educational ministry in January of 1940. It has
since evolved into a substantial outreach agency.
Emmanuel Church, 1608 Russell Road, Alexandria
Is believing in evil archaic and outdated? How can we, as people who are rational and who have
scientific world views, understand that evil exists? This is the tough question of science and Christian
faith that The Rev. Dr. Kate Sonderegger will tackle on February 27. Dr. Sonderegger is Professor
of Theology at Virginia Theological Seminary and author of That Jesus Christ was Born a Jew: Karl Barth’s
“Doctrine of Israel.”
Church of St. Clement, 1701 North Quaker Lane, Alexandria
Dr. Theodore Martin will compare the doctrinal understanding of miracles and recent philosophical
implications of quantum physics to explore how miracles are scientifically possible and whether the
laws of physics can provide an avenue for miracles to occur. Dr. Martin, a member of St. Paul’s,
is a research scientist at a leading local laboratory where he studies advanced material design and
characterization. He obtained a PhD in condensed matter physics from the University of Oregon in
2006, where he studied fractal signatures of quantum chaos in semiconductor electron billiards.
Meade Memorial Church, 322 North Alfred Street, Alexandria
The trajectory of scientific development in the West has made this question a central point of
disagreement in the debates about science and religion. The Rev. Kyle Matthew Oliver will share
some models for how we might, in ways informed by science, talk about God’s action in the world.
The Rev. Oliver serves as the Digital Missioner and Learning Lab Coordinator in the Center for the
Ministry of Teaching at Virginia Theological Seminary and Assistant for Pastoral Care at St. Paul’s
Parish in Washington. Before seminary, Kyle worked in the Computational Nuclear Engineering
Research Group at the University of Wisconsin.
Church of the Resurrection, 2280 North Beauregard Street, Alexandria
As Christians we believe that we will have “life everlasting,” not just as spiritual beings, but also
that our bodies will be resurrected to new life, as well. Dr. Sonderegger, Professor of Theology
at Virginia Theological Seminary and author of That Jesus Christ was Born a Jew: Karl Barth’s “Doctrine
of Israel,” will talk about the various theories of how this could be possible, to share what our postresurrection bodies might be like.
While HEP’s impact is felt in many areas of life’s
basic needs, it is in home repair and maintenance
that St. Paul’s and Bo participate. As one of the
most visible and viable institutions in the county,
HEP was recognized as the most reputable outreach center in McDowell County by the State of WV Housing Authority, former Governor Bob Wise and Senator Jay Rockefeller.
Above: Bo Miller in his element: picking up supplies for a HEP project.
Each summer, a group from St. Paul’s makes the trip, spending a week living in less than glamorous conditions, painting, building porches, repairing roofs, and otherwise improving the lives of those who need help to live at the most basic level.
Did I mention Bo volunteered for one summer? Well, this turned out to be 23 summers, where HEP flourished under Bo’s
passion for, and belief in, this ministry, as well as his steady leadership, skill, and commitment. Over the years, countless members of St. Paul’s, some as young as 14, have spent part of a week at HEP lending a hand and learning a great deal about what
it means to serve.
Bo now steps down from his role as St. Paul’s leader for HEP. I am pleased to announce that Randy Kish, a frequent participant in this outreach ministry, will assume that role. Thank you, Randy, and thank you, Bo. “Well done, good and faithful
servants.” ■

Each year during Lent, youth confirmation classes are offered for youth ages 12 and up. Confirmation is a big step
for these young people entering adulthood in the church, and something that they themselves choose to do with the
support of parents and adult mentors. On Saturday mornings,
we gather to talk about the basics of church and worship, but
more importantly we have conversations about our faith, prayer,
what we believe, and how we live out our lives as disciples in
the modern world. This year we are also incorporating relevant
themes from Harry Potter to see what this popular story can teach
us about living our Christian faith.

The Story
of the
T w o C a l h o u ns : S t . P a u l ’ s “ S m a l l W o r l d ”
Written By Talley Fulghum
This past September, Oran emailed me asking if I could spare a
bit of time to share with my friend, Joyce Mason. Thank goodness for that email, or otherwise I would have missed something that had literally been staring me in the face. The world is
such a very big place, but thanks to St. Paul’s, it just got a little
smaller.
When I first met Joyce in 2008, there were over six billion people in the world, with over two million of them members of the
Episcopal Church. In Alexandria, the population was just over
140,000 people. Here at St. Paul’s, the membership was approximately 2,400. The likelihood of running into an acquaintance
by chance was pretty low – the chances of a genetic connection
even smaller. It was a world big enough to meet people and big
enough to miss people.
Julia: We went with Joyce on a family trip to our ancestral home a while ago.
Talley: That sounds fun. Where did you go?
Julia: Well, our family home is on a small island in Scotland.
Talley: Really. Which island is it? My mother’s family home is also in Scotland and my brother and his wife named their
daughter after an island in Scotland.
Julia: Well, our ancestral home is Skye.
Talley: WOW. That’s our family home! What’s your family name?
Julia: Calhoun.
Talley: (And this is when the lightning flashed, the heavens opened up and God’s great plan finally made sense.) Well, that is truly amazing because our family name is also Calhoun, so I guess we must be distantly related in some way. (I mean, haven’t we all met
someone with the same name and figure that we must be distantly related? I’ve run into a lot of families named Talley here at St. Paul’s. I’m
sure we’re all distantly related but I’ve never really looked into it. I mean it is a big world. What are the chances?)
Julia: Let me get our family tree to show you.
But it is a really and truly small world, and here’s why…
We are not just distantly related. Almost 100 years after their greatgreat-grandparents left the little Isle of Skye to cross the big Atlantic,
Joyce’s grandmother, Julia, and my great-grandmother, Bertha, were
born in the same small town in Alabama. They were born to the same
father and mother, John Stewart Calhoun and Amelia Chapman Calhoun. They were sisters. Bertha and Julia Calhoun grew up Methodist
in Alabama and then, like most Americans in the 20th century, their
descendents eventually moved out into the big world. Some moved to
Canada, some to Maryland, some to Florida, and some to other places
as well. Some of them even grew so bold as to marry into different
religions. But those bold moves and those daring decisions eventually
brought the previously Methodist Calhouns back together in an Episcopal church in Alexandria, VA.
St. Paul’s has been our church home since before we got married in 1995. It’s the place we baptized our daughter, sent her
to school, mourned the loss of our fathers and shared good times with many friends. But it is a big church, and even after
more than 15 years I still don’t know all its parishioners. In 2003, as I sat at my dad’s funeral, I started perusing the pew
pamphlets to keep busy. I don’t know why it was on that particular day that I finally took note of what I was reading, but
there, in plain black and white, it said that the first rector of St. Paul’s was William Gibson. OK, God, I thought through
my sadness. You’ve just made me laugh on a very sad day. You’ve got my attention. Because, you see, my dad’s name, given to him by
his Jewish mother, was William Gibson Herbster. What uplifting irony to have this exact name show up twice in my life!
So there I was, far from where I grew up, far from where my father grew up, in what I realized at this point was certainly
meant to be our family church, and I wondered, How is God ever going to match this one?
But he could and would match it, and it would only take another nine years for him to do it. Flash forward to 2008. Then
seminarian Mary Kay Brown calls to ask if I would be interested in leading the Meals Ministry for the church. Well, OK.
I’m kind of busy. I hope I can make this work. When the church calls, you’re supposed to listen and consider. It was because of this call
that I first met Joyce Mason. She was working on the New Baby Ministry and we both attended the pastoral care meetings.
Joyce was an Alabama girl, raised Methodist and married Episcopalian. We had an affinity for each other from the start.
It seemed we’d known each other for so long. She was so lovingly familiar. It could have been because I was friends with
Joyce’s daughter, Valerie. It could have been that our daughter, Parker, and Joyce’s granddaughter, Julia, had grown up at
St. Paul’s together. It could have been that my mom’s family had also been Methodists. It could have been that Joyce and I
both had freckles. Whatever the reason, through the next several years Joyce and I maintained our friendship with simple
hugs and warm words and smiles and “sharing the peace.”
This past fall, however, Joyce’s life changed a bit and she needed some familiar faces to visit with. For me, it was a terrific opportunity to give back some of the joy and grace that I had received from her when she had supported me as we
worked our ministries together. So visiting I went. I couldn’t explain why, but my visits with Joyce felt so much like the
right thing to do even though my own life was feeling overloaded and harried. It was fun to learn more about her and to
pray together for more peaceful times and God’s blessings. We’d had four years of friendship. She was so easy to know.
And now I know why…
So now, five years since we first unwittingly met doing “church work,”
Cousin Joyce and I (with some help from her daughters Julia and Valerie and my mom, Mary Lee) try and put the family puzzle together
just a little bit more when we visit. We have pictures to look at and
stories to share and family characteristics to define. Our families are
bigger and our worlds, blessedly, are just a bit smaller because we met
fortuitously on a day in 2008.
I feel that God smiles when he thinks about this little happenstance
in the lives of us Calhoun girls, and it makes me smile to think of God smiling. Now I guess I have to keep looking and
listening to see if there are more big-world small-world mysteries for me at church – or anywhere else in the world for
that matter. Maybe I’ll have to start looking into those Talley families that I know through St. Paul’s and see if we’re more
than “distantly related.” It’s a funny thing – what a small world it really is when you worship at St. Paul’s. ■
After the arrival of her great grandson I went to visit Joyce at her daughter Julia’s house. We sat and chatted. We laughed
about how Julia was a family name in both our families. And here’s where the world gets even a little smaller, because our
conversation continued something like this:

The Diocese of Virginia has embarked on a new endeavor intended to nurture the heart and spirit through exceptional
performances. The Episcopal Arts Series brings renowned performers of music and drama to churches and other locations
within the Diocese of Virginia. The series will be funded by ticket sales, corporate-partner sponsorships, and through speciallydesignated funds held by the Diocese.
The first performance in the series will be from the world-renowned Tallis Scholars. Called “the rock stars of Renaissance
music” by the New York Times, the Tallis Scholars have performed over 1,750 concerts worldwide, from the Lincoln Center to
the Sydney Opera House. This March, they will bring one of the greatest repertoires of Renaissance music to Virginia.
These two sacred concerts will be held at the Falls Church Episcopal in Falls Church at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 19, and at
St. James’s Episcopal Church in Richmond at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 20. Tickets are $30 and available at thediocese.net.
Seating is limited, so secure your tickets soon! ■
I hope you will join us making music during our Lenten
journey and on Easter Day. To join any of these choirs,
to bring your instrumental gifts to worship, or for
further information, contact Grant Hellmers at grant@
stpaulsalexandria.com. ■

Early in the year 1812, William Holland Wilmer, became the second rector of St. Paul’s Church. He began his ministry here
when the Episcopal Church in America was still in its infancy and its survival was a real and serious concern. Being closely
connected to the Church of England in a post-revolutionary nation, and being no longer the established and publically funded
Church, its future looked dim. Undaunted by the challenges before him, Dr. Wilmer believed that the Episcopal Church was
perfectly suited to preserve the ancient wisdom and tradition of the Christian faith, while at the same time adapting to an ever
changing world. Two hundred years later we are the inheritors of his vision and his legacy. While still faced with many challenges, we are also blessed with much success as we continue to witness to our historic faith in a modern context.

Today, our greatest challenge comes not from other religious faiths or other Christian denominations, nor does it come from
antagonistic outside forces. Rather, our greatest challenge is the rise of secularism and a growing culture of apathy. As a parish
in 2012, we have responded to this challenge by choosing a decidedly counter-cultural path aimed at encouraging and strengthening discipleship and commitment. Our Faith@Home initiative is designed to provide faith development resources for every
household in the parish. These resources are designed to reinforce the important relationship between what happens around
our tables at home, and what happens when we gather as a community around God’s table. These resources are also designed
to help us as a congregation move toward the five tenets that define our common life:
• Our members will be engaged in a daily conversation with God in prayer and Bible reading
• Our members will keep the Sabbath by attending worship
• Our members will be committed to ongoing faith formation
• Our members will have a ministry in the Church and in the world
• Our members will give generously in support of the mission of the Church
All of our accomplishments of the past year have grown out of our efforts to put our faith in action. We are a warm, inviting, and welcoming congregation and we continue to grow. This is not the result of a particular program or initiative, it is
because of those in our congregation who seek out the stranger and genuinely welcome them. It is also because of those who
actively invite others to join them at St. Paul’s and encourage them to make a visit to our parish. We continue to grow by way
of welcoming those who come to us from outside our doors, but also from within. In 2012 we had another record year of 68
baptisms. There are many other signs of growth and vitality: over 125 acolytes serve at our altar; we were blessed to end the
year meeting all of our financial obligations with nearly 20% of the budget supporting mission efforts beyond our doors (the
larger Church as well as local, regional, and global outreach); and we are blessed to host a wonderful Head Start that serves our
youngest neighbors in need, as well as a fully subscribed Parents’ Morning Out program serving children of the parish.
In addition, we continue to provide five Sabbath worship opportunities from Saturday Faith@5 through the Sunday 5 p.m.
service. We are also pleased to host a weekly service in Dinka and Arabic which serves our Sudanese community within our
parish.
We have expanded our musical offerings and are blessed with a great variety of options and now have the largest adult choir in
recent memory. With the help and leadership of the St. Paul’s Foundation, we continue to pay the mortgage from our recent
renovation and continue to maintain our historic buildings and grounds. In 2012, those efforts included the continuation of
the restoration of our stained glass windows, the visit from world-renowned stained glass artist, Rowan LeCompte, as well as
the memorial recognition of the ministry of John von Hemert, our 12th rector, and his wife Toby.
In the year to come, we will continue to focus on the making of disciples, growing and deepening the parish, and continuing
to build on our many strengths. Relying on the abundant Grace of God and the work of the Spirit among us, as heirs of Dr.
Wilmer’s vision and legacy, our future is bright.

Rector’s Report
The rector gave his Annual Report celebrating our common life as a community and encouraging the congregation to stay
focused on our mission to Shine as a Light in the World to the Glory of God. We are a people who gather to worship God and to
make disciples. That is what we do, day-to-day, week-to-week, season-to-season, year-after-year - and we are now into our third
century. Our work is to love and adore the God who, through Jesus, has shown the very meaning of love, and to welcome, and
shape and form disciples who are sent out into the world as agents of that very same love. This is our focus.
Overview of Outreach Ministries
St. Paul’s Vicar, The Rev. Judith Proctor gave an overview of all the St. Paul’s ministries and their importance and role in local
and global communities. Parishioners stood before the congregation unfurling a scroll listing each of the church’s 67 ministries
to visually demonstrate the depth and breadth of St. Paul’s outreach efforts.
Outreach co-chairs Scott Broetzmann and Karen Grane were recognized for their leadership and guidance of the outreach
ministries.
Report of the Treasurer and Presentation of the 2012 Budget
Following the announcement, the rector asked for a motion to accept the results of the advisory ballot. The motion was made,
seconded, and approved. The rector asked for any additional nominations from the floor. Receiving no additional nominations,
he moved to close nominations. The motion was made, seconded, and approved.

five (5) of the remaining seven (7) names. The remaining names were: Lezlie Booth, John Braswell, Temple Moore, Jim Morrell,

fiscal year in good shape. He stated that the church was at 102% of the 2011 for Operation Fund Receipts and exceeded the
revenue budget by $34,174. In December the church was at 101.5% of the 2011 budget for Operating Fund Expenses. Total
Operating Fund Expenses exceeded budget by $27,894. Mr. Reid went on to explain that the total Operating Fund Expenses
were about $6,279 less than in 2010 ($1,534,523 versus $1,543,260). Total Operating Fund Expenses are above budget by
$27,894.
The Rector then thanked the remaining vestry members:

2012 Budget
Treasurer CJ Reid reviewed the 2012 Parish Budget, which is a balanced budget and has been adopted by the vestry. He concluded
that, at the present time, our revenue and expenses appear to be in line with the adopted budget. We will continue to be
conservative in expectations of pledge receipts and equally conservative in expenditures.

Elliot (2007-2009); baptismal counselor (2009-present); premarital counseling (alumnus ’07, panelist 2011-present); and
St. Paul’s Nursery School parent of two (2011-present). Our
family loves First Friday, Shrine Mont, the Parents’ Morning
Out program, Angel Tree, and Angel Choir.
I care about St. Paul’s because my wife Maria and I were by the
grace of God fortunate to move into a house in the 300 block
10
of S. Pitt St. when we moved to Alexandria in 2007. We looked
up the street, loved what we saw, and have been benefitting
from St. Paul’s wonderful ministries ever since. We talk nearly
every day about how lucky we are to have become part of such
a warm, welcoming, loving community; about the friendships,
fellowship, and spiritual growth we have enjoyed since we
walked in the door; and about how much we look forward to
having our children grow up in the St. Paul’s family.
Unencumbered as a new opportunity for fellowship, learning and outreach. As an active member of the St. Paul’s Beefeaters,
I have enjoyed the many rewards of active stewardship in our church’s facilities and repairing some pieces of antique furniture
in the church. During Lent 2012, I spent many days hand-scraping and refinishing the front doors of the sanctuary, helping to
restore the beauty of our historic structure’s welcoming façade. St. Paul’s has been a welcoming family away from home for our
family, and given us so much to celebrate through our many new friends and continuous deepening of our faith.
I care about St. Paul’s because it has been a welcoming institution with numerous opportunities for outreach and spiritual growth for
myself and my family. I want to ensure that St. Paul’s stands as a beautiful sanctuary of faith and service to our community and
the world that will pass on the many gifts of our congregation.
Heidi Schneble
Employment: Jan. 2005-present: VP, Operations Manager,
Washington Research Group (currently part of Guggenheim
Securities); Part-Time (2010-present): Tour Guide, Alexandria
Colonial Tours; 2004: Staff Assistant, United States Senate
Hobbies: I am an avid reader enjoying numerous genres
including fiction, non-fiction, biographies, and history to
name a few. While I have always enjoyed American history,
living in Alexandria and Northern Virginia has created an
increased interest in studying American history, specifically the
Revolutionary War period, allowing me to visit the numerous
historical sites and locations in this area. When able, I also
enjoy traveling or simply watching a good film.
St. Paul’s Experience: My experience at St. Paul’s includes
involvement in the following activities: youth Sunday School
teacher (2007-present); chalice bearer and ministry leader;
acolyte mentor; Welcome Tour guide (one Sunday a month and
special events, i.e., Scottish Walk); and Easter Vigil participant.
I care about St. Paul’s because it is a growing community steeped
in tradition while developing a strong foundation for the
future. The parishioners, clergy and staff of St. Paul’s create
an energetic community dedicated to outreach, fellowship and
the spiritual growth of the St. Paul’s community and beyond.
It would be both an honor and privilege to serve this vibrant
community.
Rebecca Wetherly
Employment: October 2012-present: Principal Sales Executive, Amazon Web Services; July 2002-September 2012: Regional Sales
Director, Dell; June 2001-July 2002: Sales Executive, Starbase; December 1996-June 2001: Channel Sales Executive, SGI; June
1990-December 1996: Retail Industry: Woodward & Lothrop, Dana Buchman & Ellen Tracy
Hobbies: I spend most of my free time on a sports court or on a field cheering on my two children, Sarah and James, in whatever
the sport du jour is. I am an avid fan for their school and city teams - whether it be soccer, basketball, baseball or lacrosse. I
have also taken up Cross Fit and spend three early mornings each week tackling a crazy workout with a fun group of Alexandria
women. Between work, kids, church and school, my spare time is little. I always love a good book, enjoy a fun movie, and can
always be talked into going shopping with my teenage daughter!
St. Paul’s Experience: Both children baptized at St. Paul’s (1999 & 2001); both children attended St. Paul’s Nursery & Day School;
I was confirmed at St. Paul’s in 2012; I served as a Mentor to a youth confirmation candidate in 2012; Sunday School teaching
assitant to Mrs. Pam Blumberg for the K’s (2004-2006); co-chair of the Youth Christmas Pageant (2007-2012); assisted with the
Bishop’s Visit reception (2010-2011); served on Discernment Committee for prospective Episcopalian priest (2011); assisted the
church in acquiring the MSP software for volunteer scheduling (2012); current coordinator for acolyte scheduling for all services
(2012); co-chair of Farewell Reception for Bill Campbell (2013)
I care about St. Paul’s because my experiences with St. Paul’s are rooted in family and the love of Christ. My husband, Jim, and I joined
St. Paul’s as our daughter, Sarah, was born in 1998. She was baptized at St. Paul’s at six weeks of age and I have been a regular
attending member ever since. Since then, my son, James, has also been baptized. Both children attended the St. Paul’s Nursery
& Day School. And this past year I had the most awesome opportunity to be confirmed alongside Sarah. My commitment to
my faith has instilled a real desire to give back and give more. I’d welcome the opportunity to serve our parishioners and clergy
as part of the Vestry.
Paul Schurke
Employment: I am a Lieutenant Commander in the US Coast
Guard, and currently work in the Engineering Directorate
of Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, DC. Prior to
moving to Alexandria, I was the Chief Engineer of USCGC
MOHAWK, a 270-foot Medium Endurance Cutter in Key
West, FL, where I spent three years patrolling the Caribbean
and Eastern Pacific, and was among the first responders to
bring aid to Haiti after the January 2010 earthquake. I also
worked in Norfolk, VA providing engineering support, and
Honolulu, HI as a Student Engineer on USCGC JARVIS.
Hobbies: Woodworking, beer brewing, sailing
St. Paul’s Experience: When we moved to Alexandria, I was
excited to come to St. Paul’s, where Melanie was already a
member and had been confirmed. I felt right at home, and
quickly found myself enjoying annual trips to Shrine Mont,
First Friday, the Thanksgoween benefit for Lazarus Ministry,
and the amazing experience of helping to form and grow the

The St. Paul’s Foundation was established in 1992 to build an endowment for the support, care, maintenance, and restoration of the
buildings and grounds owned by St. Paul’s Church and to support and benefit the Christian mission of St. Paul’s Church outside the
parish. The Foundation is a 501(c) 3 corporation in the Commonwealth of Virginia and, as such, receives charitable gifts, bequests,
and grants and makes long-term investments to provide for the future needs of our church’s historic buildings and grounds. All
contributions to the Foundation are tax-deductible. If your company offers matching donations, the Foundation has the necessary
paperwork to enable them to match your generous gifts.
The Foundation is governed by a board of Trustees who meet several times a year to discuss, monitor and direct the activities of
the Foundation. The current trustees are Amy Curtis, President; Charles King, Treasurer; Suzanne Brock, Secretary; Attison Barnes,
Andrew Blair, David Brown and Jane Wallace. They are joined by vestry liaison Timothy Adams and parish liaison and stewardship
officer Maria Halloran.
The Foundation currently has approximately $690,000 under professional investment management by the Diocese of Virginia’s
Trustees of the Fund. Gifts and Bequests for 2012 totaled approximately $30,000, which includes the amounts contributed for the
von Hemert Memorial window and plaque along with those gifts received to commemorate life events like confirmation, baptism
or weddings.
Here’s what your St. Paul’s Foundation has done in 2012:
• Contributed $20,000 for debt maintenance to the Parish
• Hosted the LeCompte Reception in July
• Spearheaded and supported the von Hemert Memorial Window & Plaque Project which was completed in November
• Underwrote the cleaning of the façade of the Church
• Continued to restore the stained glass windows in the sanctuary.
Other projects, in prior years, have included cemetery cleanup and maintenance, stained glass restoration and repair, Adult Forum
programs and the occasional, but always fascinating, Latrobe Lecture Series. In fact, we began our 2013 year with the Reverend
John Ander Runkle’s remarks on the “Precocious Infancy of St. Paul’s,” followed by a Champagne reception. Contributions to the
St. Paul’s Foundation can be earmarked for special projects like the stained glass windows or other maintenance items or given to
benefit the continuing support and maintenance of the Church.
Ways
to
Give
at
St. Paul’s Church
You can give financially to St. Paul’s Church in many ways. We are grateful for all financial gifts, but we particularly appreciate
those members who make a pledge to the Annual Operating Fund that funds the church’s immediate financial commitments
such as outreach, parish ministries and parish staff salaries and physical plant expenses.
Cash or Check: Simply drop it in the offering plate at one of our weekly services or mail it to the Parish Office. For those fulfilling
their pledges with cash and check contributions, we encourage use of your pledge envelopes to ensure accurate recordkeeping.
Electronic Debit: Electronic debit provides a safe and easy way to fulfill your pledge to the Operating Fund. Electronic debit is
convenient, costs you nothing, and keeps your pledges up to date. You may sign up by completing an authorization form found
on our website at www.stpaulsalexandria.com and returning it to the Parish Office with a canceled check.
However, there’s plenty more to accomplish. There will always be needs in a parish of this size and historic importance. We welcome
your gifts and support as we guide the Foundation into the future. Your generosity enables the Foundation to fulfill its mission.
In 2001, we established the COVENANT CIRCLE, a society of parishioners who have remembered St. Paul’s Church or St. Paul’s
Foundation in their will or estate plan in order to provide for the future of St. Paul’s. This group now stands at over 50 members but
there is room for many more. We realize the importance of this wonderful parish in many of our lives and our need and willingness
to give back to the Glory of God and in thanksgiving for our many blessings. Please speak to your lawyer or advisor about the many
benefits that accrue from making bequests through your estate.
Please remember that the Foundation grows three ways:
1. Gifts in memory of loved ones, in Thanksgiving or to the Glory of God
2. Legacies and Bequests
3. Market Appreciation
Your gifts and commitment to this church not only with your Time and your Talent but also with your Treasure are critical in
maintaining and expanding our mission throughout the community and the world.
Securities: To make a gift of stock, please contact Maria Halloran at ext. 21 or Leigh Ann Gaskins at ext. 12 in the Parish Office
at 703-549-3312 for the wire transfer to the church account at Morgan Stanley. The contact at Morgan Stanley is Marc Eisner at
703-535-8334.
Planned Giving: Provide for the future of St. Paul’s by becoming a member of the Covenant Circle. Talk with your financial
advisor about including a bequest to St. Paul’s Church in your will.

The Necrology
Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend your servants. Acknowledge, we humbly bessech you, a sheep
of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Receive them into the arms of your
mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in the light. AMEN.
