THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO

SENT OUT TO SERVE After this the Lord appointed seventy others

and sent them on ahead of him in pairs

to every town and place

where he himself intended to go. Luke 10:1

In 1785 the first General Convention of the Epis-

copal Church, the laity were 24, the clergy 16. It was a

radical idea then, to involve the baptized in the running

of a Church! No one else was doing it. The decision-

making roles in most churches then were held solely by

clergy (i.e., bishops, priests and deacons).

Inclusion in decision-making in the Episcopal Church

used to be reserved for men, then was reserved for

those who received Confirmation from a Bishop, and

most recently have extended to Baptized Members in

the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. Baptism has become

more and more theologically important in our under-

standing. We now recognize from the Catechism that

there are many ordinations in the church, many voca-

tions, and they all start with Baptism. Baptism is the

most ample, fullest and most complete expression of

our inclusion in the Body of Christ, the Church.

Baptism is everyone’s ordination. It is being “set aside”

to be the body of Christ in the world today. It is a call-

ing to be Christ, to receive Christ, to do Christ. It is the

highest universal vocation from God – bishops, priests

and deacons derive the meaning of their narrower ordi-

nations from Baptism.

Every Easter we hope and pray for Baptisms, so that in

the renewal of our Baptismal Covenant we might have

an Incarnate, visible sign of the meaning of our own

Baptism. We remember who we are when we welcome

the newly baptized with these words:

We receive you into the household of God. Confess the faith

of Christ crucified, proclaim his resurrection, and share with

us in his eternal priesthood. BCP p. 308

The Rev. Jaime Case, Rector English articles continue on Page 6.

ENVIADO A SERVIR Después de esto, el Señor escogió también a otros

setenta, y los mandó de dos en dos delante de él, a todos

los pueblos y lugares a donde tenía que ir. Lucas 10:1

En la primera Convención General de la Iglesia

Episcopal en 1785, asistieron 24 laicos y 16 cleros.

¡En aquel día era una idea radical incluir los bautizados

en el liderazgo de una Iglesia! Ninguna otra iglesia lo

hacía. Los papeles para líderes eran reservados sola-

mente para los cleros (p.e., obispos, sacerdotes y diáco-

nos).

El liderazgo era entonces reservado para hombres sola-

mente, y después fue reservado para los Confirmados

por un Obispo, pero al final fue extendido a todo Miem-

bro Bautizado en el Libro de Oración Común de 1979.

Bautismo se ha hecho mas y mas importante en nuestro

entendimiento teológico. Ahora reconocemos en el Ca-

tecismo que hay muchas ordenaciones en la Iglesia, mu-

chas vocaciones, y todos comienzan en el Bautismo. El

Bautismo es el mas amplia, mas repleta y mas completa

expresión de nuestra inclusión en El Cuerpo de Cristo,

la Iglesia.

Bautismo es la ordenación para todos. Es ser “apartado”

para ser el cuerpo de Cristo en el mundo de hoy. Es un

llamado para ser Cristo, recibir a Cristo, hacer Cristo. Es

la vocación mas alta de Dios – obispos, sacerdotes y diá-

conos derivan el significado mas estrecho de su ordena-

ción en el Bautismo.

Cada Pascua esperamos y oramos para tener Bautizos,

para que en la renovación de nuestro proprio Pacto

Bautismal tengamos una señal Encarnada del significa-

do de nuestro propio Bautismo. Recordamos quienes

somos cuando damos la bienvenida al recién bautizado

con estas palabras:

Nosotros te recibimos en la familia de Dios. Confiesa la fe de

Cristo crucificado, proclama su resurrección y participa con

nosotros en su sacerdocio eterno. LOC pág. 229

The Messenger ~ El Mensajero APRIL 2018 ABRIL 2018

2 THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO

DE LA GUARDIANA MAYOR De alguna manera, el año parece estar a medio

camino. Ya estamos en abril. Los estudiantes y los

maestros ya están en las vacaciones de primavera.

Todos nos hemos acostumbrado a escribir 2018 en

nuestros cheques, o donde escribimos fechas en estos

días. ¡Pero el año de la iglesia se está preparando!

¡Pascua está aquí! ¡Él ha resucitado! ¡Y es hora de que

todos nos ocupemos haciendo un trabajo importante!

Beth Femling, Michelle Hamann y yo fuimos elegidas

para la Junta Parroquial a fines de enero. Jaime me

pidió que sirviera como Guardián Senior poco

después de las elecciones. Me sentí honrado de que

me lo pidieran, y después de reflexionar y orar,

acepté servir.

Nosotros, como junta parroquial, empezamos nues-

tro año con un retiro a fines de febrero, donde nos

conocimos un poco mejor, acordamos un pacto para

gobernar nuestro trabajo juntos y establecimos nues-

tro rumbo para el próximo año. Revisamos la estruc-

tura de nuestro comité, brindando una atención reno-

vada a la Formación Cristiana, la Vida Congregacion-

al y la Visión y Misión de San Lucas y San Lucas.

El comité de Formación Cristiana será un recurso pa-

ra nuestros grupos y actividades de Educación y De-

sarrollo Cristianos existentes, como el Grupo de

Espiritualidad de Mujeres, EBV, Grupo de Jóvenes y

Escuela Dominical. También buscará formas en que

podamos fortalecer y desarrollar nuestras ofertas pa-

ra satisfacer las necesidades de más parroquianos y

familias de SL2.

El comité de Vida Congregacional simplemente está

agregando un poco de estructura y coordinación par-

roquial a un amplio grupo de ministerios que ya fun-

cionan, como Friday Night Live, Lunch Bunch,

Coffee Hour Hosts, Funeral Hospitality y cualquier

otro grupo social dentro de la iglesia.

El comité de Visión y Misión buscará ayuda de la

Diócesis de Olympia para comenzar el proceso de

actualización de nuestras declaraciones de Visión,

Misión y Meta. Nos dimos cuenta de que nuestras

declaraciones actuales tienen casi cinco años, y con el

crecimiento y desarrollo de nuestra congregación y la

comunidad que nos rodea, necesitaban algunas actu-

alizaciones. A algunos de ustedes se les ha pedido

que sirvan en algunos de estos comités nuevos o ex-

istentes, y espero trabajar con ustedes más e invitar a

otros a unirse a nosotros. Si está interesado en partici-

par en una de estas áreas, hágamelo saber.

Jill McClellan

RESUMEN DE LA ACCIONES DE LA

JUNTA - MARZO DE 2018 Evaluación Diocesana: Podemos disminuir esto

reclamando gastos adicionales por mejoras a nuestra

planta física.

Enlaces parroquiales: cada persona de la Junta par-

roquial servirá de enlace con un grupo de ministeri-

os. No tienen que dirigir a los grupos, pero propor-

cionarán comunicación bidireccional entre los grupos

y la Junta Parroquial completa.

Administrador de la Parroquia: Según lo permita su

agenda, Kris Lawless está asumiendo este trabajo vi-

tal hasta que se contrate a su sucesor. Se necesitará

tiempo adicional para entrenar a la nueva persona.

WHAT Refugio: Algunos de nuestros 18 huéspedes

se han mudado a una vivienda permanente. Algunos

asisten a servicios a las 8:00 o 10:00. Por favor,

hágales saber que son bienvenidos como parte de

nuestra familia parroquial. Podríamos involucrarnos

más con ellos teniendo una tarde Ice Cream Social.

TIME OFF: el padre Jaime estará ausente del 2 al 14

de abril. La mayor parte de eso será tiempo de vaca-

ciones, y el resto se dedicará a la educación continua.

Tom Amies, Secretario de la Junta Parroquial

REPORTE DEL GUARDIAN MENOR A menudo escucho decir que si no tienes nada bueno

que decir entonces no digas nada, o algo así. Sin em-

bargo, creo que a veces es mejor dejarlo salir. El pro-

greso en prácticamente todos mis proyectos en el edi-

ficio se ha detenido y el ascensor, AKA "Betty" sigue

siendo mi némesis. Cada tormenta de primavera que

pasa me tiene en pánico por las inundaciones en el

sótano de la iglesia. Ah, me siento mejor ahora.

Quiero hacer otro lanzamiento para la tripulación del

jueves. Creo que es una manera fácil para que traigas

uno de tus tres T, talento, a la iglesia. Tal vez tengas

talento para pintar (mira el frente del escenario o las

THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO 3

cercas de la propiedad), talento de carpintería (mira la

barandilla del coro), talento de jardinería (el Jardín de

la Paz necesita tu TLC) e incluso si crees que no tienes

talento, puedes dar tu tiempo. La tripulación del jue-

ves se reúne los jueves, por supuesto, desde alrededor

de las 8:00 a.m. hasta alrededor del mediodía. No se

requiere registro o compromiso a largo plazo. Estamos

muy relajados y prometo café y donas.

John Mathieu

VACACIÓN DE PADRE JAIME Padre Jaime va a tomar un descanso 2 -14 de abril. En

caso de necesidad llame por favor a la oficina.

SE BUSCA SECRETARIO EJECUTIVO Nuestra Administradora Parroquial renunció su

puesto. Estamos buscando una persona para el puesto.

Es un trabajo difícil con muchos beneficios y un buen

sueldo. Inglés es esencial, español deseable. Entrega

su resumen a [email protected].

REPORTE DEL TESORERO Resumen De Presupuesto: “dólares y centavos”

Al final de febrero esperábamos que obtuviéramos porcenta-

jes hasta de 16.7% del ingresos y gastos.

Resumen hasta Febrero 28, 2018

Ingresos: los ingresos para febrero están por delante

de donde esperábamos que estuvieran en este mo-

mento del año, lo cual es algo muy bueno.

Gastos: los gastos son menores de lo que es-

peraríamos que fueran a fines de febrero, lo cual

también es algo muy bueno.

Comentarios adicionales:

Desde una perspectiva presupuestaria, estamos en el

lugar donde queremos estar.

Actualmente contamos con 120 unidades compro-

metidas ... ¡una menos de nuestra meta original! Tuvi-

mos 46 unidades que se quedaron igual que el año

pasado, 14 disminuyeron su promesa del año anterior,

31 aumentaron su compromiso, 18 promesas fueron

nuevas y 11 pagaron sus promesas temprano. Felicid-

ades y gracias a todos los que hicieron una promesa.

Para aquellos que aún no lo han hecho, aceptamos

compromisos de compromiso en cualquier momento.

Si no ha recogido sus sobres y aún los quiere, consulte

a Jamie Mathieu, Janet Butler o Doug Goodlett y se le

proporcionará un juego.

Recuerde que las donaciones se pueden hacer desde

nuestro sitio web; o, una forma más fácil es direc-

tamente desde su banco a San Lucas ~ San Lucas. Es

fácil de hacer, así que pruébalo.

Gracias por su continuo apoyo financiero de San Lu-

cas ~ San Lucas.

Doug Goodlett, Tesorero

espectáculo de variedades y un baile durante la sema-

na. ¡Esperamos que hagas amigos, experimentes la

naturaleza y te diviertas! Un sacerdote episcopal de la

Diócesis de Olympia se une a nosotros en cada sesión,

para brindar asesoramiento, participar en las activida-

des del programa y planificar servicios de adoración.

Un grupo de descubrimiento diferente se reúne con el

capellán para planear la adoración todos los días.

con la comunidad latina/hispana. SL2 ha enviado Er-

nesto Zurita, Marlene Pérez y Lee Wilson. Becas dis-

ponibles por la parroquia. Representa a tu iglesia.

SE NECESITA ASISTENCIA

DE COMIDA Santiago escribió: "... y dijiste, “Adiós y que tengan

buen día; manténganse calientes y coman bien”

--pero no le das a esa persona comida y ropa. ¿Que

bien hace eso?”

Nuestra parroquia provee comida cuatro veces a la

semana para personas que llegan con hambre. Las

donaciones en el cuarto de despensa no se da abasto.

Imagínense si cada persona que viene por la Eucaris-

tía cada semana trajera diez artículos de comida. Ten-

dríamos alrededor de 1500 artículos que distribuir

durante la semana siguiente. Cuando vaya de com-

pras, puede poner algo en su carrito de compra y de-

signarlo para ayudar a los más necesitados. Que buen

ritual seria ese --- una extensión de hospitalidad de La

Casa.

Gracias.

13° “CHOWER” ANUAL DE BEBÉ PARA

"BEBÉS NECESITADOS" - DOMINGO,

6 DE MAYO

El domingo 6 de mayo, a las 11:30 p. M. En el Salón

Parroquial, los invitamos a la Baby Shower de San Lu-

cas ~ San Lucas para "Bebés necesitados". Estamos so-

licitando obsequios de suministros de canastilla nue-

vos o usados con suavidad (consulte la lista a contin-

uación) o donaciones monetarias. Si regalas con

cheque, hazlo a nombre de "Babies In Need". Comité de

Alcance

"Babies In Need" es un programa de alcance de All

Saints Episcopal Church en Hazel Dell que comenzó

en 1999 para servir a nuestros vecinos y madres recién

dadas enfrentando grandes desafíos: monoparentali-

dad, muy pocos ingresos, discapacidades físicas o

mentales, alcohol o drogas historias, bebés prema-

turos, personas sin hogar, o la pérdida de trabajo del

sostén de la familia. No tienen nada o muy poco para

su nuevo bebé.

Debido a las donaciones de muchos, este programa

siempre está listo con una bolsa de regalo con artícu-

los básicos y un asiento para el automóvil para ayudar

a satisfacer las necesidades inmediatas. Centro de par-

tos Los trabajadores sociales de PeaceHealth SW y

Legacy Los hospitales de Salmon Creek identifican a

las madres que necesitan ayuda. Cuando las mamás

reciben nuestro asiento para el automóvil y una bolsa

de hermosas cosas para bebés, saben que a alguien le

importa y que no están solos en el mundo.

Las bolsas de regalo para bebés de "Babies In Need"

contienen batas, pijamas, sacos de lana, onesies,

suéteres, gorras, mantas y edredones, pañales y toalli-

tas húmedas, un juguete suave y tierno y accesorios

útiles. Muchos artículos son nuevos, bellamente

hechos a mano o usados con cuidado. ¡Todos los pa-

ñales son donados por PeaceHealth Southwest!

Los asientos de automóvil son un gran gasto. Incluso

con la caza de gangas, nos costó $ 10,000 + el año pasa-

do. Ponemos en buen uso las donaciones en efectivo

para asientos de automóvil.

Al servir a otros en nuestra comunidad en el nombre

de Cristo, nuestras vidas se transforman. Dios es fiel.

Gracias por ser un fuerte vínculo en la cadena de

abundantes bendiciones

Bendiciones, Kitty Ash, Directora de Babies In Need

www.babiesinneed.org

COMITÉ DE AYUDA A LOS MAS NE-

CESITADOS La próxima junta de l comité del programa para los

mas necesitados será abril 18, 6:30pm en la capilla de

los niños.

CUENTOS DE AYUDAR Los voluntarios de extensión diurna a menudo están

abrumados con solicitudes de una sola vez, pero a

veces tenemos tiempo para conocer a nuestros visitan-

tes. Un voluntario recuerda a un hombre diabético que

vino con zapatillas mojadas. Él los quitó y reveló los

dedos vendados. Él se sorprendió y agradeció cuando

el voluntario le proporcionó calcetines limpios y secos

y zapatos usados con suavidad que realmente le

quedaron, lo cual es importante para los diabéticos.

Sin duda una bendición para ese hombre ese día. El

voluntario también recuerda a un chico joven que

llegó deprimido, solitario y sin esperanza, y simple-

mente quería un bocadillo. El voluntario tuvo tiempo

para hablar con él, y expresó que finalmente sintió que

alguien realmente se preocupaba por él, y se fue con

más de un sándwich. Sin duda una bendición para ese

hombre ese día. ¿Quieres ofrecer bendiciones como

esas? Únete a nosotros.

SENIOR WARDEN’S MESSAGE In some ways, the year seems to already be half way

over. We’re already in April. Students and teachers are

already on Spring Break. We’ve all gotten used to

writing 2018 on our checks, or where ever we write

dates these days. But the church year is just gearing

up! Easter is here! He is Risen! And it’s time for us all

to get busy doing important work!

Beth Femling, Michelle Hamann and I were elected to

the Vestry at the end of the January. Jaime asked me

to serve as Senior Warden shortly after the election. I

was honored to be asked, and after some reflection

and prayer, I agreed to serve.

We as a Vestry kicked off our year with a retreat at the

end of February where we got to know each other a bit

better, agreed to a covenant to govern our work to-

gether, and set our course for the year ahead. We re-

viewed our committee structure, giving renewed

attention to Christian Formation, Congregational Life,

and St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas Vision and Mission.

• The Christian Formation committee will be a re-

source for our existing Christian Education and

Development groups and activities, such as Wom-

en’s Spirituality Group, VBS, Youth Group and

Sunday School. It will also look for ways we can

strengthen and develop our offerings to suit the

needs of more SL2 parishioners and families.

• The Congregational Life committee is really just

adding some structure and Vestry coordination to

a wide-ranging group of already highly function-

ing ministries such as Friday Night Live, Lunch

Bunch, Coffee Hour Hosts, Funeral Hospitality

and any other social groups within the church.

• The Vision and Mission committee will be seeking

out assistance from the Diocese of Olympia to

begin the process of updating our Vision, Mission

and Goal statements. We realized that our current

statements are nearly five years old, and with the

growth and development of our congregation and

the community around us, they needed some up-

dating. Some of you have been asked to serve on



some of these new or existing committees, and I

look forward to working with you more and invit-

ing others to join us. If you are interested in

getting involved in one of these areas, please let

me know.

Jill McClellan

JUNIOR WARDEN REPORT I often hear it said that if you don’t have anything

good to say then say nothing, or something like that.

However, I think sometimes it feels better to let it out.

Progress on virtually all my projects in the building

has ground to a halt and the lift, AKA “Betty” contin-

ues to be my nemesis. Every spring storm that passes

through has me panicking about church basement

flooding. Ah, I feel better now.

I want to make another pitch for the Thursday Crew. I

believe it is an easy way for you to bring one of your

three T’s, talent, to the church. Maybe you have some

painting talent (look at the front of the stage or the

picket fences around the property), carpentry talent

(look at the choir loft railing), gardening talent (the

Peace Garden needs your TLC) and even if you think

you have no talent you can give your time. Thursday

Crew meets Thursdays, of course, from around 8:00

AM to around noon. No registration or long-term

commitment is required. We’re very relaxed and I

promise coffee and doughnuts.

John Mathieu

VESTRY SUMMARY -- March 2018

Diocesan Assessment: We may decrease this by

claiming additional expenses for improvements to our

physical plant.

Vestry Liaisons: Each Vestry person will serve as the

liaison to a group of ministries. They do not have to

lead the groups, but will provide two-way communi-

cation between the groups and the full Vestry.

Parish Administrator: As her schedule allows, Kris

Lawless is taking on this vital job until her successor is

hired. Additional time will be needed to train the new

person.

WHAT Shelter: Some of our 18 guests have moved to

permanent housing. A few are attending 8:00 or 10:00

services. Please let them know they are welcome as

part of our parish family. We might engage more with

them by having an afternoon Ice Cream Social.

TIME OFF: Father Jaime will be away on April 2-14.

Most of that will be vacation time, with the remainder

devoted to Continuing Education.

Tom Amies, Clerk of the Vestry

TREASURER’S REPORT BUDGET SUMMARY

“Dollars and Sense”

At the end of February percentages should to be at 16.7% of

budgeted revenue and expense.

Summary as of February 28, 2018

Revenues: Revenues for February are ahead of

where we would expect them to be at this time in

the year, which is a very good thing.

Expenses: Expenses are less than we would expect

them to be at the end of February, which is also a

very good thing.

Additional Comments:

From a budget perspective we are right where we

want to be.

We currently have 120 pledging units...one shy of our

original goal! We had 46 units who stayed the same as

last year, 14 decreased their pledge from the prior

year, 31 increased their pledge, 18 pledges were new,

and 11 paid their pledges early! Congratulations and

thanks to everyone who made a pledge. For those who

have not done so yet, we welcome pledge commit-

ments anytime.

If you have not picked up your envelopes and you still

want them, please see Jamie Mathieu, Janet Butler, or

Doug Goodlett and a set will be provided.

Remember that donations can be made from our web-

site; or, an easier way is directly from your bank to St.

Luke’s~San Lucas. It’s easy to do so try it out.

NOTES FROM THE MUSIC ROOM Easter in 2018 falls on the very first day of April with

Spring in the air. "Now the green blade riseth from

the buried grain," to quote the Easter song (Blue Hym-

nal #204) which is based appropriately on a French

Christmas carol. The brilliant trumpeter Scott Winks

will be our special guest at the 10 AM service on East-

er morning. Scott is a middle school teacher in the Ev-

ergreen District. He has played for over a decade with

the Vancouver Symphony and co-founded the Colum-

bia River Brass Quintet. Our own dynamic double-

reed duo of Hannah Femling and Mike Grigsby-Lane

will join him, Catherine van der Salm and the choir

for some festive music for the day.

Our Jazz Vespers series contin-

ues the following Saturday.

Trombonist “Jazzy John” Moak

returns on April 7th at 6 PM to

join pianist Mike Horsfall and

our house band for some jazz

standards to frame a meditative

service of prayers, psalms, and

scripture. (If you haven’t yet

eaten at Jazzy John’s BBQ near

the NE 79th St. exit off of I5,

you’ll find that John can smoke

a brisket as well as he can cook a jazz chart.). Arlen

Farley will preside and bring the message. Bring a

friend or a neighbor to this easy-going alternative

worship experience.

“Love is come again like wheat that springeth green.”

Tim Nickel, Music Director

RECEPTION FOR TIM NICKEL Our parish has been invited to a reception for Tim

Nickel at St. James Lutheran Church in Portland at

1315 SW Park Avenue on Sunday, April 15, at 6 PM,

following the 5 o’clock Jazz Vespers service. They will

be celebrating Tim and his many contributions to the

music program at St. James with as many of you who

also appreciate his musical talents as can attend. For

more information, please contact Gerry Grover at 503-

246-1454.

BREAD GUILD We are seeking a new Communion bread baking

scheduler. Please contact Kathleen Brown for more

information at: [email protected]

ALTAR FLOWERS Why not choose a Sunday to remember someone dear

to you or to offer thanksgiving for a blessing in your

13th ANNUAL BABY SHOWER FOR

“BABIES IN NEED”

SUNDAY, MAY 6 You’re invited to St. Luke's ~ San Lucas’ Baby Shower

for “Babies in Need” on Sunday, May 6, at 11:30PM in

the Parish Hall. We are asking for gifts of new or gen-

tly used layette supplies (see list below) or monetary

donations. If you are gifting by check, please make it

payable to “Babies In Need”. Outreach Committee

“Babies In Need” is an outreach program of All Saints

Episcopal Church in Hazel Dell that began in 1999 to

serve our neighbors and newly-delivered moms facing

daunting challenges: single-parenthood, very little in-

come, physical or mental disabilities, alcohol or drug

histories, premature infants, homelessness, or the

breadwinner’s job loss. They have nothing or very lit-

tle for their new baby.

Due to donations from many, this program is always

ready with a layette gift bag of essentials and a car

seat to help meet immediate needs. Birth Center Social

Workers at PeaceHealth SW and Legacy Salmon Creek

hospitals identify moms who need help. When moms

receive our car seat and bag of lovely baby things they

know someone cares and that they are not alone in the

world.

“Babies In Need” layette gift bags contain gowns, pa-

jamas, fleece sacques, onesies, sweaters, caps, blankets

& quilts, diapers & wipes, a soft, cuddly toy and use-

ful accessories. Many items are new, beautifully hand-

made or gently-used. All diapers are donated by

PeaceHealth Southwest!

Car seats are the big expense. Even with bargain-

hunting, they cost us $10,000+ last year. We put cash

donations to good use for car seats.

As we serve others in our community in Christ’s

name, our own lives are transformed. God is faithful.

Thank you for being a strong link in God’s chain of

abundant blessings.

Blessings, Kitty Ash, Director of Babies In Need

OUTREACH TALES Daytime outreach volunteers are often swamped with

requests all at once, but sometimes we have time to

know our visitors. One volunteer remembers a diabet-

ic man who came wearing wet slippers. He removed

them and revealed bandaged toes. He was surprised

and grateful when the volunteer provided clean dry

socks and gently used shoes that actually fit -- im-

portant for diabetics. Surely a blessing for that man

that day. The volunteer also remembers a young guy

who came in depressed, lonely, and hopeless,

and simply wanted a sandwich. The volunteer had

time to talk with him, and he expressed that he finally

felt that someone actually cared about him, and

left with more than a sandwich. Surely a blessing for

that guy that day. Want to offer blessings like those?

CHURCH BELL The bell in our tower is usually silent during the week,

but on March 14 at 10am, as students walked out of

Vancouver School of Arts and Academics, along with

students across city and nation. Our bell rang out sev-

enteen times, to tell those students and our city that

we care about them, and seventeen names were read

aloud in our sanctuary as each bell rang.

PASTORAL CARE COMMITTEE Please let us know if you have someone who is not

able to come to church, is in some type of crisis, medi-

cal 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 April 24 at 6:30 PM in the Chapel of the Holy

Spirit, (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 facil-

itates this group. All are welcome. Our regular Febru-

WHAT MINISTRY – REQUEST Our women's shelter (WHAT) has been a life raft for

many of the occupants in our basement. Our WHAT

Ministry's mission is to not only provide shelter but

also to support these vulnerable and homeless wom-

en. In this vein, occasionally, one of the residents may

have unique needs which can not be met by the pro-

gram. If you would like to be part of an email group

notifying you of those needs, please contact Deb

Stavig - [email protected]. Additionally, Share

would like residents to be able to check out lap tops to

look for jobs, emails, etc. They are looking for two

used lap tops, chromebooks or tablets with keyboards.

Contact Deb Stavig if you can donate!

FOOD ASSISTANCE

NEEDS ASSISTANCE St James wrote: "... and you say, 'Good-bye and have a

good day; stay warm and eat well'-- but then you

don't give that person any food or clothing. What

good does that do?"

Our parish provides food four mornings per week for

people who come in hungry. Yet donations to our Pie

Room are not keeping up. Imagine if every person

who comes for Eucharist each week brought ten food

items. We'd have around 1500 items to distribute dur-

ing the following week. When we grocery shop, the

little collapsible shelf on the cart could be for outreach.

What a cool ritual that would be --- an extension of the

hospitality of The Table. Thank you.

Daytime Outreach

OUTREACH COMMITTEE MEETING Now held on the third Wednesday of the month. Next

meeting is April 18, 6:30 pm in the Children’s Chapel.

A MYSTERY FOR TAXING TIMES Hopefully you saw the display case containing the

“Mysteries of the Vault”. There are a number of

‘mysteries’ that we have in our Archive Vault that

haven’t been displayed yet. One is a set of sales tax

tokens from Colorado and Utah. What on God’s green

earth are these?

Prior to the Great Depression beginning in1929, there

was little use of the Sales Tax. But the need

to support local relief efforts amid the se-

vere downturn caused a number of states to

enact sales taxes, including Washington

State, Utah, and Colorado. In Washington,

the tax was a flat 2% on the purchase price.

Retailers, as they do today, could set their

prices so that there was an even result of

the calculation, such as charging $5.00 and assessing a

sales tax of 10 cents.

But what does the retailer do if the items were 10 cents

or 5 cents? The customer would have to suffer from a

round-up to a penny on both the 10 cent item and the

5 cent item. States and retailers came up with a nifty

solution; they would create their own coinage, valued

in a manner that fit their tax rate. So in Washington, it

was valued 1/5 of a cent to meet the state’s 2% tax

rate. Doesn’t that sound like fun?

Needless to say, the tokens were not popular with

consumers, or with retailers. In 1935, you would

spend 8 cents for a loaf of bread, 5 cents for a bottle of

Coke, 5 cents for a candy bar, 10 cents for Bran Flakes,

9 cents for two rolls of toilet tissue, 7 cents for lettuce,

and 9 cents for ketchup.

The small envelope containing these ‘valuables’ is la-

beled “Coins & Tokens, Found in Williams House

Walls”. The Colorado token is square with a round



hole in the middle, issued by the State Treasurer. The

Utah token is round, with a star hole in the middle,

and indicated that it is a part of the Emergency Relief

Fund. Both tokens are aluminum.

Included in the envelope are three pennies. One is a

1903 Indian Head penny; the other two are from 1918

and 1927. It makes you wonder whether these coins

date the tokens, or whether they were all a part of

someone’s coin collection. I checked, none of them is

worth a ton of money today, but they may have once

been valuable to someone, so much so that they hid

them in the wall of the house.

SIZE TO SIZE God meets us where

we are, using our

specific gifts and tal-

ents for a divine pur-

pose within our cur-

rent circumstances.

However, we're also

called to grow out of our comfort zones.

October 1-5, the Diocese of Olympia's Office of the

Bishop is pleased to present "The Bishop's Leadership

Conference: Size to Size - Strength to Strength" - a con-

ference that explores what it means to be faithful,

healthy, and effective in your church's current, local

context and help you discern if God is calling your

congregation to grow in new ways.

Over the course of the week, each church will attend

two days of the conference. The first day, connect and

network with other churches of similar size to share

and discover strengths specific to your congregational

size. On the second day, learn more about how growth

would look by joining the next congregational size up.

We'll be exploring how stewardship, marketing and

evangelism, discipleship, communications, faith for-

mation, finances, and property and building mainte-

nance operates at all congregational sizes.

The bishop is strongly encouraging all churches to

send a team of clergy and lay leaders. So mark your

calendars and save the date!
