NEW WEBSITE, NEW CONSIDERATIONS

OCTOBER 2018 OCTUBRE 2018 NUEVO SITIO WEB, NUEVAS CONSIDERACIONES

I have spent some time thinking about how SL2 has developed some of what I call the essential signs of the catholic (universal) Church. It changed into a conversation on how to set up a part of the website. We hit upon five of them, like our five baptismal promises, of the five Marks of Mission of the Anglican Communion, or the five wounds of Christ. So here they are:

He pasado un tiempo pensando en cómo SL2 ha desarrollado algunos de los que yo llamo los signos esenciales de la Iglesia católica (universal). Cambió a una conversación sobre cómo configurar una parte del sitio web. Decidimos a cinco de ellos, como nuestras cinco promesas bautismales, de las cinco Marcas de Misión de la Comunión Anglicana, o las cinco heridas de Cristo. Entonces aquí están:

Five Essential Signs (Marks) of SL2

Cinco signos esenciales (marcas) de SL2

Outreach: I think we all recognize Outreach as an exCompromiso con la comunidad: creo que todos reconocepression of love for our neighbor and serving the “least mos a Outreach como una expresión de amor por nuestro of these.” prójimo y sirviendo a los "mas pequeños".

Pastoral Care: We can all understand that people go through many crises and our presence with them is comforting and meaningful.

Cuidado pastoral: Todos podemos entender que las personas pasan por muchas crisis y nuestra presencia con ellas es reconfortante y significativa.

The Sacraments: whether you think of two, seven, or innumerable sacraments, the importance of providing for the needs of the spiritual life begin with the sacrament as God reaching out to us, and it is vital to our lives to affirm.

Los sacramentos: Ya sea que piense en dos, siete o innumerables sacramentos, la importancia de satisfacer las necesidades de la vida espiritual comienza con la Santa Cena como Dios extendiéndose a nosotros, y es vital para nuestras vidas afirmar.

Stewardship: Wisdom says stewardship begins at home. SL2’s physical plan and grounds are a huge resource. From this place many good works are done. This extends to the world we live in and the Creation we inhabit.

Mayordomía: La sabiduría dice que mayordomía comienza en casa. El plan físico y los terrenos de SL2 son un gran recurso. Desde este lugar se hacen muchas buenas obras. Esto se extiende al mundo en que vivimos y la Creación en la que vivimos.

The Future: I think of Paul talking about handing down a story-tradition, of Jesus commending the children, of Timothy giving a good account of the faith that is in us. We have a future that we should be providing for, a living legacy of our Parish, our youth and children.

El futuro: Pienso en Pablo hablando sobre la transmisión de una tradición de la historia, de Jesús elogiando a los niños, de Timoteo dando una buena cuenta de la fe que hay en nosotros. Tenemos un futuro que deberíamos proveer, un legado viviente de nuestra Parroquia, nuestros jóvenes y niños.

Think with me on this: We are always rethinking how to best express the Gospel at SL2. New situations invoke new considerations, and by God we are blessed.

Piensa conmigo en esto: siempre estamos reconsiderando cómo expresar mejor el Evangelio en nuestra particularidad, SL2. Las situaciones nuevas invocan nuevas consideraciones, y por Dios somos bendecidos. El Rev. P. Jaime Case, Rector

CAMBIOS EN LOS EMPLEADOS Administrador Parroquial ¡Después de un tiempo demasiado breve a SL2, me iré a fines de septiembre para moverme por el mundo! Mi novio, Chris, aceptó un puesto como Organista Asistente en la Catedral Anglicana en Christchurch, New Zealand. Porque hay muchas oportunidades de crecimiento musical y espiritual para nosotros en Christchurch, así como esta oportunidad es

THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO "una vez en la vida", hemos decidido ir a esta aventura. Por supuesto, estoy muy triste por dejar de este lugar, especialmente tan pronto después de llegar, pero estoy agradecido por el tiempo que he pasado aquí, todo lo que he aprendido y el inmenso apoyo que he recibido de la parroquia. ¡Gracias! Astrid Caruso Hola San Lucas ~ San Lucas! Estoy muy feliz de ser su nuevo Administrador Parroquial. Un poco sobre mí es que tengo más de 10 años trabajando en ambiente de nómina / oficina. Tuve el placer de trabajar aquí en la oficina en 2016 durante aproximadamente 9 meses antes de dar a luz a mi hijo menor. También tuve el placer de ser el coordinador de la escuela dominical y pude crecer con muchos de nuestros pequeños. Me mudé aquí a Vancouver con mi esposo y mis dos hijos (Christian llegó un año después) en 2015. Hemos sido miembros de la comunidad SL2 desde 2013. Mi esposo y yo nos casamos aquí, y todos nuestros hijos fueron bautizados en SL2 también. ¡No puedo esperar para comenzar a trabajar aquí! Herlinda Marquez

Coordinadora de Jóvenes y Familias Hola San Lucas! Me llamo Leah Reshan, y tengo la suerte de comenzar como la nueva Coordinadora de Jóvenes y Familias. Soy originario del norte de Indiana y me mudé a Vancouver en junio. Antes de aceptar el puesto en San Lucas ~ St. Luke’s, trabajé como paraprofesional de educación especial, trabajé para Apple como Genius y enseñé informática elemental. Mi formación académica es en bellas artes, comunicaciones de voz y comunicaciones masivas. Soy el hijo medio de un pastor luterano retirado recientemente. Así que fui bautizado, confirmado y continúo siendo un luterano practicante. No puedo esperar para conocer y formar parte de la comunidad en SL2. Estoy increíblemente emocionado y bendecido de tener la oportunidad de agregar al ministerio en San Lucas ~ St. Luke’s. Leah Reshan

HORAS DE OFICINA: OCT. 2-5 Debido a los cambios de personal y las vacaciones, la oficina tendrá un horario limitado y solo estará abierto por las mañanas.

ESCUELA DOMINICAL ¡Hemos comenzado un nuevo año con más maestros!

3

Ahora tenemos cuatro maestros capacitados en Godly Play: Herlinda Marquez, Lee Wilson, Catherine Hennessey y Justin Little. Todavía necesitamos voluntarios para ayudar cada semana y estamos abiertos a más maestros. Es un momento maravilloso para pasar con nuestros miembros más jóvenes. Si está interesado en ayudar, de alguna manera, contacta a la oficina. Estamos entusiasmados por continuar ofreciendo el currículo de Godly Play y esperamos que los padres / abuelos nos apoyen llevando a sus hijos la mayoría de los domingos para que puedan experimentar y aprender sobre el profundo amor que Dios tiene para ellos. Si tiene alguna pregunta, contacta al P. Jaime, [email protected] o 360-606-4285.

EL DÍA DE SAN LUCAS El domingo, 21 de octubre Nuestra celebración anual de nuestro santo patronal se observará en las tres misas en este domingo con el uso de las lecturas leccionarias para nuestro santo de la parroquia y la música especial. Además, este año, todos están invitados a asistir a la misa en español a la 1:00 PM y después a comida compartida del aniversario 20 del comienzo de la misa en español aquí en San Lucas ~ St. Luke’s. ¡Por favor marquen sus calendarios y únanse a nosotros para esta fiesta parroquial!

THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO

LIBRO DE RECUERDOS A partir del 14 de octubre, el Libro Conmemorativo estará disponible en el atrio de la iglesia para que pueda agregar los nombres de sus seres queridos que partieron. Los nombres serán leídos en todos las misas el domingo, 4 de noviembre para Día de Los Difuntos.

DOMINGO DE TODOS LOS SANTOS DOMINGO DE MINISTERIO Domingo, el 4 de noviembre Durante todos los servicios en este domingo honraremos a todos los santos, pero especialmente a los que nos han precedido. Leeremos los nombres de sus seres queridos escritos en el Libro de la Memoria. Además, honraremos el trabajo de muchos del pasado y el presente que participan en nuestros ministerios parroquiales y esperamos agregar más a estos ministerios. Únase a nosotros después de la misa 10AM durante la hora del café, cuando puede consultar las pantallas del Ministerio y obtener más información. Esperamos que vengas y aprendas más sobre todos nuestros ministerios e incluso descubras algunos de los que no sabías. Si aún no ha encontrado un ministerio en el que quiera participar, esta será una gran oportunidad para investigar.

CONFERENCIA “NUEVO AMANECER” Tuve el honor y el placer de asistir a la conferencia "Nuevo Amanecer" de Latino Ministries en Kanuga, N.C. junto con Joana Villaseñor y mi esposo Glicerio Zurita. Después de un vuelo de 5 horas y dos horas en coche, llegamos a Kanuga y nos recibieron con una cálida bienvenida. Pude conocer gente maravillosa de diferentes países latinos y de muchos lugares de Estados Unidos quienes han hecho maravillas de sus ministerios. Aprendí sobre la historia de la Iglesia Episcopal y su anhelo de ser incluyente y también escuché a los obispos y oradores invitados. Todos ellos expresaron su solidaridad con nuestros ministerios

latinos. Los talleres a los que asistí fueron excelentes, aunque fue difícil elegir ya que los temas eran muy interesantes. No fue una sorpresa saber que en la comunidad española nuestra iglesia es el "secreto mejor guardado" y hablamos de formas para darnos a conocer. Estas conversaciones me recordaron de los tres años que he asistido a San Lucas ~ St. Luke’s. No puedo olvidar el día en que tuvimos un grupo de hermanos y hermanas que asistieron a nuestra misa en español para mostrar su apoyo y desde ese día hemos tenido la compañía de nuestros guardianes protectores en todos los servicios. Es reconfortante formar parte de una iglesia tan acogedora. Estoy comprometida a sentirme orgullosa de mi iglesia y a hablar sobre las cosas maravillosas que suceden en ella. También quiero expresar mi gratitud a todos los que hicieron posible nuestro viaje y nuestra asistencia a esta increíble conferencia. Elizabeth Ruiz Reyes

CONFERENCIA DE LIDERAZGO DEL OBISPO Del 4 al 5 de octubre, voy con un grupo de feligreses a la Conferencia de Liderazgo del Obispo para aprender más sobre la preparación para el tamaño cambiante de nuestra Parroquia. Estamos ansiosos por traer de vuelta a SL2 nuevas ideas sobre cambios y crecimiento para nuestro ministerio. Puedes encontrar más información aquí: https://ecww.org/the-bishops-leadership-conferencesize-to-size-strength-to-strength/ P. Jaime Case, Rector

CONVENCIÓN DIOCESANA Del 26 al 27 de octubre, la Diócesis de Olimpia celebra su reunión anual, que llamamos Convención. Legalmente, es la "corporación" la que debe reunirse para llevar a cabo el "negocio" de la iglesia en nuestra región del oeste de Washington. Nuestros delegados laicos este año serán Harry Gamble, Nancy Denny, Stu Hennessey, Catherine Hennessey, Kris Lawless y Pat Lawless y nuestro alterno es Amy Surface. Los Clérigos que son "residentes" o que figuran oficialmente como parte de la Diócesis, son automáticamente delegados del clero. Como delegados, aún estamos aprendiendo sobre los temas que se tratarán en la

THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO convención. La Convención ha sido fluida y breve en los últimos seis años, por lo que se espera lo mismo este año. Por favor oren por su delegación y por la convención.

DISCERNIMIENTO DE ARLEN FARLEY Arlen Farley y su familia llegaron a St. Luke's ~ St. Luke en el verano de 2017. Arlen se graduó del Seminario del Suroeste en Austin, Texas, con una Maestría en Artes en Religión. Durante su último año de seminario, he completado la Fase 1, Discernimiento Aspirante, en la Iglesia Episcopal de la Cruz en Austin, Texas. Durante ese año, Arlen ofreció sermones, creó medios de comunicación, ayudó ocasionalmente con música y participó en el Comité del Obispo. Después de muchas consideraciones, Arlen y su esposa, Andrea, decidieron que no se sentían como en casa culturalmente en Texas y no querían seguir el discernimiento de Arlen para el ministerio allí. Arlen se acercó a varios obispos en lugares que parecían más adecuados para su familia y encontraron un hogar en la Diócesis de Olimpia. El comité de San Lucas ~ St. Luke’s para la Fase 2 del discernimiento de Arlen se reunió por primera vez el 19 de febrero de 2018 con el Muy Rev. Steven L. Thomason y el Rev. P. Jaime Case. El comité final consistió de Rychelle Reiling-Mullins, Kris Lawless y Kathy Gallaher. El comité se reunió dos veces al mes usando "Discerning Vocations in the Diocese of Olympia" como la guía para nuestro trabajo. Los miembros del comité compartieron mucho en cada sesión, así como en la oración y la lectura de las Escrituras. A lo largo de este proceso, Arlen fue muy abierto e introspectivo, e hizo de nuestro tiempo juntos una bendición y nos permitió a todos crecer en la fe. Al final de nuestro tiempo juntos, el comité recomendó con entusiasmo y alegría a Arlen para la candidatura a las órdenes sagradas. La junta parroquial votó para aceptar esta recomendación en la reunión de septiembre. Todos los documentos de Arlen han sido enviados al Obispo Rickel y su siguiente paso en este proceso es ir ante la Comisión del Obispo para el Ministerio en noviembre. Por favor, mantengan a Arlen y su familia en sus oraciones mientras se mueve a la ordenación como un sacerdote episcopal.

EL ÓRGANO MASON-HAMLIN A SL2 En 1997, nuestra propia Judy Sloane ayudó a llevar luz y conocimiento a uno de nuestros tesoros más preciados en San Lucas ~ San Lucas. Ella fue una de los miembros del Comité de Historia, y asumió un esfuerzo que recientemente dijo que fue uno de los esfuerzos más divertidos y gratificantes que haya hecho alguna vez. Al parecer, el señor y la señora Richard Fauble le habían devuelto un antiguo órgano de lengüeta que había pertenecido a su tía, Kate Fauble. Ella había sido la organista en la primera iglesia de San Lucas. Cuando se completó la segunda iglesia en 1873, la iglesia compró un órgano más grande y le dio el órgano de junco a Kate Fauble. Ese acto de agradecimiento por parte de la iglesia finalmente salvó al órgano de la destrucción, cuando la segunda iglesia se quemó en 1931. Judy investigó un poco y descubrió que el órgano había sido construido en 1868 y que probablemente lo enviaron a Vancouver al llegar al Cuerno. Había sido construido por Mason-Hamlin Company. Este órgano es uno de los pocos artículos que tenemos de nuestra primera iglesia, en Fifth and Reserve. Judy ayudó a encontrar un restaurador para el órgano, conocido internacionalmente como Frans Bosman, que trabajó en Mosier, Oregón. El Sr. Bosman le dijo a Judy que "en toda su experiencia, nunca ha visto un instrumento como este". La parte superior del órgano fue restaurada por nuestro propio Dick Berhow. Este órgano se encuentra actualmente en la Capilla del Santísimo Sacramento, a la izquierda del Altar. De vez en cuando, se vuelve a editar y se usa en los servicios de San Lucas ~ San Lucas, más recientemente durante la Celebración de la Consagración 152 en 2012. Muchas gracias de nuestra Parroquia a Judy Sloane, Dick Berhow, la familia Fauble y el Comité de Historia por todo su trabajo en este maravilloso regalo de la música. Pat Lawless, Archivista e Historiógrafo

“HABLANDO DE BASURA” A SL2 St Luke's ~ San Lucas está albergando a 18 mujeres en nuestro sótano de dos años. Varias de las mujeres se han ofrecido a ayudar a limpiar los terrenos de la Igle-

sia. Ahora estamos en la lista de áreas para limpiar en un programa llamado "Talkin 'Trash" administrado por el proveedor de servicios para personas sin hogar Share y financiado por el departamento de desechos sólidos de Vancouver. Sus empleados son personas sin hogar o anteriormente sin hogar, incluidas algunas de las mujeres a las que protegemos. Somos una iglesia en el centro de la ciudad con muchos visitantes cada día que a veces dejan basura. La necesidad es doble: abordar los problemas de la ciudad y nuestros desechos sólidos en el centro de la ciudad y promover la misión de Share de llevar a las personas sin hogar hacia la autosuficiencia. Las personas sin hogar nos ayudan mientras los ayudamos. Russ Roseberry, líder de extensión diurna

THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO

Thank you for continuing to fulfill your pledge commitments during the summer months. Parishioners have been consistently meeting their pledge commitments and this is very much appreciated. And for those who have been on vacation, this is a time to “catch up.” Thanks for your continued financial support of St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas. Doug Goodlett, Treasurer •

STAFF CHANGES Parish Administrator After a far too brief time here at SL2, I will be leaving at the end of September to move across the world! My partner, Chris, has accepted a new position as Assistant Organist at the Anglican cathedral in Christchurch, New Zealand. Considering the opportunities for musical and spiritual growth for both of us in Christchurch, as well as the “once in a lifetime” nature of this job offer, we have decided to take on this adventure. I will, of course, be very sad to leave this place, especially so soon after arriving, but I am grateful for the time I have spent here, all that I have learned, and the immense support I have received from the parish. Keep in touch! Astrid Caruso Hello St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas! I am so happy to be your new Parish Administrator. I have over 10 years working in payroll/office atmosphere and I worked here in the office in 2016 for about 9 months before I gave birth to my youngest child. I also have had the pleasure of being the Sunday school coordinator and got to grow with many of our little ones. I moved here to Vancouver with my husband and 2 kids (Christian came along a year later) in 2015. We have been members of the SL2 community since 2013. My husband and I were married here, and all our children have been baptized at SL2 as well. I look forward to working here and can’t wait to get started! Herlinda Marquez

Youth and Families Coordinator Hello St. Luke’s! My name is Leah Reshan, and I’m blessed to be starting as the new Youth and Family Coordinator! I’m originally from northern Indiana, and moved to Vancouver in June. Prior to accepting the position with St. Luke’s ~ San

Lucas, I worked as a special ed paraprofessional, worked for Apple as a Genius, and taught elementary computer science. My educational background is in fine art, speech communications and mass communications. I am the middle child of a recently retired Lutheran pastor. So I was baptized, confirmed, and continue to be a practicing Lutheran. I cannot wait to get to know and become a part of the community at SL2! I’m incredibly excited and blessed to have the opportunity to add to the ministry at St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas. Leah Reshan

OFFICE HOURS: OCT. 2-5 Due to staff changes and vacations, the office will have limited hours and may only be open in the mornings.

SUNDAY SCHOOL We have started a new year with more teachers! We now have four Godly Play trained teachers: Herlinda Marquez, Lee Wilson, Catherine Hennessey, and Justin Little. We are still in need of volunteers to assist each week and are open to more teachers. It’s a wonder-filled time to spend with our younger members. If you are interested in helping, in any way, please contact our new Youth and Families Coordinator, Leah Reshan through the church office. We are excited about continuing to offer the Godly Play curriculum and hope parents/grandparents will support us by bringing your children most Sundays so they can experience and learn about the deep love God has for them. If you have any questions please contact Fr. Jaime, [email protected] or 360-6064285.

FIRST COMMUNION CLASSES Registration starts now for those who plan to join our next First Communion class. The classes will start October 21 at noon. The celebration will be January 10th. Make the commitment to attend all the classes. The classes will be bilingual and are designed for children in 3rd grade or older that can read and write and can fully participate.

NUEVO AMANECER CONFERENCE I had the honor and the pleasure of attending the Latino Ministries conference "Nuevo Amanecer" in Kanuga, N.C. along with Joana Villaseñor and my husband Glicerio Zurita. After a 5 hour flight and two hour drive, we arrived at Kanuga and had a warm welcome. I got to meet wonderful people from different Latino countries and from all over the U.S. who had made wonders of their ministries. I learned about the history of the Episcopal Church and the eagerness to be inclusive; I listened to bishops and guest speakers. Every one of them expressed their solidarity to our Latino ministries. The workshops I attended were excellent even though it was hard to choose since the topics were very interesting. It wasn't a surprise to know that in the Spanish community our church is the "best kept secret" and we talked of ways to be better known. These conversations reminded me of the three years I have been attending St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas. I can't forget the day we had a group of brothers and sisters attending our Spanish service to show their support, and having the company of our gatekeepers at every service since then. It feels reassuring to be part of such a welcoming church. I am committed to stand proud of my church and talk about the wonderful things happening within. I also want to express my gratitude for all who made our trip and our attendance to this amazing conference possible. Elizabeth Ruiz Reyes

ARLEN FARLEY’S DISCERNMENT Arlen Farley and his family came to St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas in the summer of 2017. Arlen is a graduate of the Seminary of the Southwest, in Austin, Texas with a Master of Arts in Religion. During his final year of seminary, he completed Phase 1, Aspirancy Discernment, at the Episcopal Church of the Cross in Austin, Texas. During this year, Arlen offered sermons, created media, helped occasionally with music, and participated in the Bishop’s Committee. After much consideration, Arlen and his wife, Andrea, decided that they didn’t feel culturally at home in Tex-

9

as and did not want to pursue Arlen’s discernment for ministry there. Arlen reached out to several bishops in places that seemed more likely to be a fit for his family and found a home in the Diocese of Olympia. The St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas committee for Phase 2 of Arlen’s discernment first met on February 19, 2018 with The Very Reverend Steven L. Thomason and The Rev. Jaime Case. The final committee consisted of Rychelle Reiling-Mullins, Kris Lawless and Kathy Gallaher. The committee met twice a month using “Discerning Vocations in the Diocese of Olympia” as the guideline for our work. A lot of sharing and self-reflection by all committee members was involved in each session as well as prayer and scripture reading. Throughout this process, Arlen was very open and deeply self-reflective making our time together a blessing and allowing all of us to grow in faith. At the end of our time together, the committee enthusiastically and joyfully recommended Arlen for candidacy for holy orders. The vestry voted to accept this recommendation at the September meeting. All of Arlen’s paperwork has been submitted to Bishop Rickel and his next step in this process is to go before the Bishop’s Commission on Ministry in November. Please keep Arlen and his family in your prayers as he moves toward ordination as an Episcopal priest.

BISHOP’S LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE October 4-5 I am going with a group of parishioners to the Bishop’s Leadership Conference to learn more about preparing for the changing size of our Parish. We look forward to bringing back to SL2 new ideas about changes and growth to our ministry. You can find more information here: https://ecww.org/the-bishops-leadership-conferencesize-to-size-strength-to-strength/ The Rev. Jaime Case, Rector

DIOCESAN CONVENTION October 26-27, the Diocese of Olympia holds its annual meeting, which we call the Convention. Legally, it is the “corporation” that has to meet to conduct the “business” of the church in our region of western

THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO

Washington. Our lay delegates this year will be Harry Gamble, Nancy Denny, Stu Hennessey, Catherine Hennessey, Kris Lawless, and Pat Lawless and our alternate is Amy Surface. The Clergy who are “resident” or officially listed as part of the Diocese, are automatically clergy delegates. As delegates we are still learning about the issues to be dealt with at convention. Convention has been smooth and brief in the past six years, so the same is expected this year. Please pray for your delegation and for the convention.

LESSONS IN MORTALITY October 13 and 14 will be very special days at St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas as Ellen Richardson, nationallyknown author, physician and Episcopal priest will be here to inspire, challenge and lead us in conversations about Lessons in Mortality. Using her 2017 book, Holy Dying, Stories and Struggles, as a common resource, since many in the parish have already read it, the plan is to begin at 10 AM on Saturday, October 13 in the Parish Hall, and conclude the day by 4 PM with a very special liturgy. Sunday, Ellen will preach at the 8 and 10 AM services and be available after each for conversation. The Pastoral Care Committee has been talking with Ellen, who serves a parish in Williamston, North Carolina, and is in the midst of Hurricane Florence recovery. She plans to talk about seeing dying as normative, life-affirming, grace-filled, and holy. We are planning with her to focus on prayer, healing, letting-go, and caregiving, as well as the practical details we will all face. She has a spiritual and scriptural approach and has many years of first-hand experience as a hospice physician.

If you haven’t read Holy Dying, which is 150 pages of actual stories of people dealing with dying, let the office know and additional copies will be available. All are invited to hear the presentations, participate in conversations and spend some quiet time with the topics. Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP to the church office or sign-up on Sundays in the Narthex. Cost is $5 to cover food and materials (scholarships are available). Any questions, please contact me at 360 -904-8682. The Rev. Dennis Cole

WOMEN’S SPIRITUALITY GROUP Women’s Spirituality Group resumes in October. Our first meeting will be on Saturday, October 20, 10 a.m.to 12 p.m. In November we’ll resume our second Saturday meeting dates. All women are welcome as we come together and expand our spiritual experiences through another year of reading, studying and sharing. Our new study book is Super Girls and Halos by Maria Morera Johnson. The reading assignment for our October meeting will be the Introduction through the first chapter, Crusade of Justice and Learning. Hoping you will join us! We enter the church building at the north entrance, through the kitchen. This door will be un-locked from 9:50 – 10:10AM for our safety. If you have any questions, please contact one of the conveners: Janet Butler (360-947-0404) [email protected], Mary Boettcher (360-936-2425) [email protected], Kris Lawless (360-904-7365) [email protected]

PASTORAL CARE COMMITTEE Please let us know if there is someone unable to come to church, is in some type of crisis, medical or otherwise, or, perhaps, is in the hospital, by making a call to the office. Our meetings are on the fourth Tuesday of the month. The next meeting will be on October 23 at 6:30 PM in the Children’s Chapel. The Rev. Dennis Cole

LIFE GOES ON Life Goes On meets monthly to support those as they go through the grieving process. Fr. Dennis Cole facilitates this group. All are welcome.

BAPTISM OFFERED Sunday, November 4, 2018 at all services. Please contact Fr. Jaime by October 21 if you are interested. The next opportunity for baptisms will be January 13, 2019.

ST. LUKE’S DAY AND ANNIVERSARY OF SAN LUCAS Sunday, October 21 Our annual celebration of our patron saint will be observed at all three services on this Sunday by using the lectionary readings for our parish saint and special music and hymns as applicable. In addition this year, all are invited to also attend the 1:00PM Spanish service and a pot-luck luncheon after in honor of the 20 year anniversary of the beginning of the Spanish service here at St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas. Please mark your calendars and join us for this parish feast day!

ALL SAINTS’ SUNDAY & MINISTRY SUNDAY Sunday, November 4 During all services on this Sunday we will honor all saints, but especially those who have gone on before us. We will read the names of your loved ones written into the Book of Remembrance. Additionally, we will honor the work of many from the past and present who participate in our parish ministries and hope to add more to these ministries. Join us following the 10AM service during Coffee Hour when you can peruse the Ministry Displays and find out more information. We hope you will come and learn more about all of our ministries and even discover some that you weren’t aware. If you haven’t found a ministry that you want to participate in yet, this will be a great opportunity to investigate.

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME CHANGE “Fall back” on November 4! Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour the night of Nov. 3.

NOTES FROM THE MUSIC ROOM October means the beginning of the next series of Jazz Vespers services at St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas. Trombonist Stan Bock will be the special guest joining pianist Mike Horsfall and company on Saturday, October 6th at 6 PM. These events are a great way to introduce a non-churched friend or relative to the many facets of the worship life at our parish. Some of the other guests who will join us on the first Saturdays of December, February, April, and June will include Marilyn Keller, Cheryl Alex, and an amazing Filipino sax player, Renato Carrano. The new Jazz Vespers CD recording will be out soon with a CD release party to follow. The Choir is off and running with some new additions to our male chorus. Welcome to Paul Hamman and Bill Cassidy! We are looking forward to another interesting year of singing, ringing, and worshiping our Lord with some new songs. Tim Nickel, Music Director

MASON-HAMLIN ORGAN AT SL2 Back in 1997, our own Judy Sloane helped to bring light and knowledge to one of our most valued treasures at St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas. She was one of the members of the History Committee, and took on an effort that she recently said was one of the most fun and rewarding efforts she has ever done. Apparently Mr. and Mrs. Richard Fauble had returned an antique reed organ that had belonged to their aunt, Kate Fauble. She had been the organist at the first St. Luke’s church. When the second church was completed in 1873, the church bought a bigger organ, and gave the reed organ to Kate Fauble. That act of appreciation by the church eventually saved the organ from destruction, when the second church burned down in 1931. Judy did some research and found that the organ had been built in 1868, and was probably shipped to Vancouver, by coming around the Horn. It had been built by Mason-Hamlin Company. This organ is one of the few items we have from our first church, on Fifth and Reserve. Judy helped to find a restorer for the organ, internationally known Frans Bosman, who worked in Mosier,

12

THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO

Oregon. Mr. Bosman told Judy that “in all of his experience, he has never seen an instrument just like this one.” The top of the organ was further restored by our own Dick Berhow. This organ is currently placed in the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, to the left of the Altar. Occasionally it is retuned and used in services by St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas, most recently during the 152th Consecration Celebration in 2012. Many thanks from our Parish to Judy Sloane, Dick Berhow, the Fauble family, and the History Committee for all of their work on this wonderful gift of music. Pat Lawless, Parish Archivist and Historian

ALTAR FLOWERS Why not choose a Sunday to remember someone dear to you or to offer thanksgiving for a blessing in your life? Altar Flower sponsor forms are in the Narthex. When completed these forms can be placed in the offertory plate. Cost is $35. If you have any questions, contact Barbara Charbonneau 360-433-9910.

LUNCH BUNCH

Saturday, November 4 at 10:30 AM there will be lector and Chalice Bearer training. If you are curious about this ministry, this will be a time to check it out and see if you would like to be part of it. If you are already a lector or chalice bearer, please plan to attend. There are always new things to learn and old things to practice.

The second Tuesday of each month at noon the Lunch Bunch meets to share food, companionship, and a special program. On October 9, Amy Case will share photos and anecdotes from her recent trip to Sweden and Norway (and a few side trips involving 3 other countries). All will be invited to discuss how family traditions from “the Old Country” (wherever that might be) have been reflected—or not—in our own lives as part of this nation of immigrants. Have an ethnic family dish? It would be welcome at this potluck lunch! Please sign up in the narthex if you are coming and if you can bring a dish to share.

TALKIN’ TRASH AT SL2

COFFEE HOUR

St Luke’s ~ San Lucas is housing 18 women in our basement going on two years. Several of the women have offered to help clean up the Church grounds. Now we are on the list of areas to clean in a program called “Talkin’ Trash” run by homeless service provider Share and funded by Vancouver’s solid waste department. Its employees are homeless or formerly homeless people including some of the women we shelter. We are a downtown church with many visitors each day who sometimes leave trash behind. The need is twofold: Addressing the city’s and our solid waste

We have great kitchen help which makes hosting quite easy. The host provides simple treats and brings them to the kitchen before the 10:00 service. Examples of simple offerings are crackers, cookies, cheese, chips, vegetables, fruit, bagels, and muffins. Punch items for the children are appreciated, such as 1-2 cans of frozen juice. We do not expect hosts to provide lunch. The kitchen staff makes the coffee, tea and punch, and will

Please check the open dates on the Coffee Hour schedule next to the kitchen door or call me at 360-574-2441. Signing up for this important ministry will be greatly appreciated.
