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.

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. Padre Jaime Case

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!"

Please take time to get to know this special member of our Youth Group. Fleur Romagosa

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. Arthur S Magee

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 [email protected] 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

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 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.

Pat Lawless, Parish Archivist

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.

TREASURER’S REPORT BUDGET SUMMARY “Dollars and Sense” The end of April marks the end of the first fiscal quarter. Percentages should to be at 41.7% of budgeted revenue and expense.

Summary as of May 31, 2014 Total Budget for the Year Revenues Expenses Net Income

$406,686 $406,686 0

Year to Date Actual Amounts $176,184 $179,983 -$3,799

Percent of Total Budget 43% 44%

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. Doug Goodlett, Treasurer

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

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. Bob Hiltz

St. Luke’s – San Lucas is a bilingual Episcopal Church serving Vancouver and Southwest Washington since 1853. 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.
