ST. LUKE’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH ~ SAN LUCAS IGLESIA EPISCOPAL

Rector’s Corner Stewardship of our Neighbor I’ll bet you are thinking about vacation this

June, just like I am. Time flew through the end

of the school year, some graduations are

planned, but the summer opens to us beckon-

ing us to play.

In June our cycle of annual stewardship themes moves

back to our neighbor: It is actually timely that our min-

istry of assistance in the form of food, clothing, and bus

passes, is growing, changing, and engaging us more

directly with our neighbor. Recently we have seen

more than double the number of clients asking for food,

especially the Road Bags, food ready to eat. Our clients

call them “lunch bags”. The bags cost a lot and create a

lot of trash, so to supplement those expensive bags, a

less expensive sandwich meal is being prepared. We

will continue to put our “Road Bags” but limit them to

6 per day. We will be able to do the sandwich bags at

less than half the cost. This scheme will costs us $200

for the sandwich bags, $400 for the “Road Bags” each

month, and we have joyfully budgeted that amount for

Outreach. Donations in-kind can reduce that cost. The

Outreach Committee will re-evaluate in 3 months.

We routinely run out of bus passes on Tuesday, often

before noon. Our volunteers from Wednesday to Friday

are learning the age-old paean of the non-profit, “I’m

sorry, we are out of xxxx.” I have to say the same thing

about the Discretionary Fund, which usually runs out

the first week of the month. Clothing is different, be-

cause people can make do, and we only give out donat-

ed, not purchased, items. I learned to say “I’m sorry”

years ago, as a volunteer myself, and to tell the truth, it

was a great motivator to “Do something about it” ra-

ther than just say “I’m sorry, we’re out.”

Facing our clients directly as members of the church is

a transforming spiritual experience. I highly commend

to you to take the time to volunteer to help your

neighbor this summer, and meet the wander-

ing, needy Christ in them as a part of your spir-

itual journey. I tried to find a good quote from

the book of James but I give up: Read the whole

book of James: It’s short and to the point.

Fr. Jaime Case

Rincón del Rector Mayordomía de Nuestro Prójimo Me imagino que están pensando en vacaciones durante

el mes de junio, igual que yo. El tiempo voló para ter-

minar el año escolar, algunos hace planes para gradua-

ción, y el verano abre a nosotros salir a jugar.

En junio nuestro ciclo de mayordomía anual se enfoca

en nuestro prójimo: Es justo que nuestro ministerio de

asistencia directa en forma de comida, ropa y boletos

para el bus está creciendo, cambiando, y exponiéndo-

nos nos mas a nuestro prójimo. Ha doblado el número

de personas pidiendo “Road Bags,” que nuestros clien-

tes llaman bolsas de lonche. Estas bolsas cuestan mu-

cho y producen mucha basura. Vamos a añadir bolsas

de tortas para aumentar la comida disponible. Conti-

nuaremos produciendo “Road Bags” cada semana pero

con límite de 6 por día. Vamos a producir las bolsas con

una torta por menos que la mitad. El esquema costará

$200 por bolsa de torta y $400 por “Road Bag” cada

mes, y gozosamente hemos presupuestado la cantidad.

Donativos pueden reducir el gasto. En 3 meses re-

evaluaremos el esquema.

Cada martes nos acaban los boletos de bus por toda la

semana, muchas veces antes del mediodía. Nuestros

voluntarios están aprendiendo el lamento “Lo siento, se

nos acabó el xxx.” Yo tengo que decir lo mismo sobre

mis Fondos Discrecionales, que terminan durante la

primera semana del mes. Ropa es diferente, porque de-

pende solamente sobre las donaciones, y uno puede

2 THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO

escoger lo adecuado. Aprendí la frase hace años, co-

mo voluntario también, y para decir la verdad, fue

gran motivador para “Hacer algo” en vez de simple-

mente “Lo siento, se acabó.”

Hacer frente a nuestros prójimos como miembro de

la iglesia es una experiencia espiritual transformati-

va. Les encomiendo tomar tiempo para ser volunta-

rio ayudar a su prójimo durante el verano, y así co-

nocer al Cristo peregrino y mendigo como parte de

su camino espiritual. Traté de encontrar un versículo

bueno del libro de Santiago, pero les recomiendo leer

todo el libro. Es corto y al punto.

Padre Jaime Case

MENSAJE DE LA GUARDIANA MAYOR ¡Aleluya! Estamos cerca de firmar el

contrato para remodelación. Comen-

zar será acontecimiento alegre. Es

probable que cuando reciban esto,

listo será el contrato. Tenemos que

hacer algunos ajustes para acomodar

este proyecto de corto plazo, y los resultados serán

asombrosos.

Gracias a todos los voluntarios que laboraron para el

Cinco de Mayo, y que hicieron un gran éxito de la

fiesta: Rubén Triana, María Zepeda. Willy Silva Patri-

cia leal, Ana Mariscal, Blanca Maldonado y María

Zambrano. La comida fue sabrosa. La música energé-

tica, los danzantes asombrosos con lindos vestidos.

Fue una tarde de gran diversión.

Se realizó una venta de garaje gracias a Russ Rosebe-

rry y todos los voluntarios que ayudar con organizar,

vender, y reponer. El dinero ayuda a que los niños

pueden asistir a Camp Huston, nuestro campamento

den Gold Bar, Washington.

Si usted puede ser voluntario del programa de

Outreach durante semana, se lo agradeceríamos mu-

cho. Su ayuda con el ropero y distribución de comida

en un horario regular será de gran ayuda. También

puede organizar el ropero en tiempos más flexibles si

esto le conviene. Hacemos también tortas para distri-

buir durante semana. Cualquier ayuda será aprecia-

da.

Quiero agradecer a Den Mark Wichar por organizar

el evento de recoger fondos en Central Burgerville. El

dinero recogido fue usado para niños de escuela que

no tienen casa en el área. El Comité de Outreach

quiere hacer el evento otra vez en el otoño. Noten los

anuncios porvenir.

El comité de Recoger Fondos va a patrocinar una re-

cepción después del servicio vespertino de Jazz el 7

de junio. Inviten a vecinos, amigos y familia también.

Véase los detalles en los boletines

dominicales o le Mensajero.

ESCUELA DOMINICAL Hoy en la reunion de Escuela de Verano,

Susan Cole dijo que “venir al salón de cla-

se mirar a los niños en el Circulo de Ora-

ción es linda cosa, si solamente fuera facti-

ble que toda la congregación lo viera.”

Escuela dominica consiste en muchas co-

sas. Es linda, divertido, religiosos, pensativo, infor-

mativo y somos todos amigos. Hoy un niño hizo la

pregunta “¿Por qué morir los apóstoles cuando ha-

blaban de Jesús es buena cosa?” Por favor, amen y

apoyan nuestros niños.

Ebie Mountford

ESCUELA ECLESIAL DE VERANO

21-24 de julio 9-12 Nuestro tema es “Animales Raros.” Los niños apren-

derán del amor de Jesús por historias, música, juegos

y proyectos. Solamente se puede logara con la ayuda

de muchas personas. Vamos a poner un anuncio de

información en el Salón Parroquial donde unos de

los maestros servirán para contestar sus preguntas e

inscribir voluntarios. Para poner el plan, necesitamos

saber tan pronto sea posible cuantos ayudantes va-

mos a tener.

Algunos ayudantes servirán preparando para el día

veinte minutos.

Otros ayudaran a pastorear los niños de lugar a lu-

gar, manteniéndolos en seguridad.

Algunos pueden ayudar con donaciones y costo de

materiales.

Necesitamos ayuda con sábanas planos, plantas arti-

ficiales (viñas y flores) para decorar.

Para instalar el área necesitamos un gran equipo.

SELECCIONADO EL CONTRATISTA,

SE ACERCA LA CONSTRUCCIÓN Tres contratistas evaluaron la oportunidad

para dar una propuesta para nuestro

proyecto. Últimamente recibimos tos

propuestas con el mejor propuesta más

alto por poco de nuestra meta. Nuestra

meta fue establecido un año antes. La propuesta es

competente, especialmente tomando en cuenta in-

crementos en actividad de construcción y costo. El

comité de los edificios hizo su recomendación y el

Vestry (Junta Parroquial) aprobó aceptación de la

propuesta. El contrato se finaliza y los permiso soli-

citados en las semanas por venir. Gracias por su

continua ayuda, paciencia y compromiso para hacer

de San Lucas – St. Lukes una facilidad más abierta.

calidad, y agradecemos muchos a las bandas, y los

danzantes que dieron su tiempo y talento. Hay tan-

to y tantas personas de agradecer.

VENTA DE GARAJE – UN ÉXITO Generosos donativos de la feligresía a San Lucas ~

RUMMAGE SALE- A SUCCESS Generous donations of great rummage from St.

Luke’s ~ San Lucas parishioners made the 2014

Rummage sale a huge success. High quality rum-

mage made eager customers purchase goods that

provided $2,739 in proceeds to highlight Camp

Huston scholarships and other youth activities.

Thank you to the volunteers who helped sort and

sell the rummage, then clean up.

SENIOR WARDEN’S MESSAGE Alleluia! We are very close to signing

a contract for our remodeling. It will

be great to get started. Probably, by

the time this is published we will be

on our way. We will have to make

some adjustments, however, we can

get through it because it’s a short term project and the

end result will be wonderful.

Thank you to all the volunteers from San Lucas who

made the Cinco de Mayo Festival so fun: Ruben Tria-

na, Maria Zepeda, Willy Silva, Patricia Leal, Ana

Mariscal, Blanca Maldonado and Maria Zambrano.

The food was so delicious! The music was energetic!

The Aztec dancers were amazing and their costumes

were beautiful. It was an enjoyable afternoon.

We had another outstanding rummage sale, thank

you to Russ Roseberry and all of the volunteers who

helped with the set-up, sale and clean-up. The mon-

ey raised helps to send kids from our parish to Camp

Huston, an Episcopal Church camp in Gold Bar,

Washington.

If you can help volunteer with the Outreach program,

we would really appreciate your help. You could

help with the clothes closet and food distribution on a

regular scheduled time or we need help with organiz-

ing clothes in the closet downstairs and you could

come in anytime to help with that. We are also going

to make sandwiches to distribute during the week,

along with the road bags which are in short supply.

So, any help with this would be appreciated.

I'd like to thank Den Mark Wichar for organizing the

fundraiser with Central Burgerville. The money

raised goes towards helping homeless school youth

in our area. The Outreach committee would like to

do this again in the fall, so watch for announcements

coming up.

The Fund raising committee is looking forward to

hosting a reception after the Jazz Vespers on June 7th.

This is a fun event to invite friends, neighbors and

family to. Look for details in the Sunday bulletins

and the Messenger.

Peace,

Dena Cassidy, Senior Warden

SUNDAY SCHOOL Today at a VCS meeting Susan Cole said,

"Coming into the Sunday School room and

seeing the children in their Circle of Pray-

er is a beautiful thing, if only the congre-

gation could see that". Sunday school is a

lot of things. It is beautiful, it is fun, it is

reverent, it is thought provoking, it is informative

and we are all friends. Today a four year old asked

the question, “Why did apostles get killed when talk-

ing about Jesus is a good thing?" Please love and sup-

port our children.

VACATION CHURCH SCHOOL

JULY 21 TO 24, 9AM- Noon

Our theme is “Weird Animals”. The children will

know the love of Jesus through fun stories, music,

games and projects. We can only do this with the help

of many people. We will be setting up an information

board in the Parish Hall where one of the teachers

will be available to answer questions and sign up

helpers. In order to plan we need to know as soon as

possible how many helpers we will have.

Some helpers might be willing to be station lead-

ers and spend about twenty minutes a day in

preparation.

Some helpers may be crew leaders who move

from station to station with a small group of chil-

dren to keep them safe.

Some help could be in the form of donations to

help cover cost of materials.

We are also needing donations of flat bed sheets and

artificial plants (vines and flowers) for decorating.

We will need a big crew to help set up nearer the

time.

SPRING STEWARDSHIP

CONFERENCE - “Walking the Way”.

This is a Simulcast of a previously recorded conference plenaries

and workshops bringing select presentations to the wider dio-

cese through our Videoconferencing System.

This gives us access to internationally known theolo-

gian and author Sister Joan Chittister as our key-

note speaker through The Episcopal Network for

Stewardship's (TENS) conference held on June 6 and

7 at Emory University in Atlanta. Chittister writes,

"Clearly, the purpose of wealth is not security. The pur-

pose of wealth is reckless generosity, the kind that sings of

the lavish love of God, the kind that rekindles hope on

dark days, the kind that reminds us that God is with us

always."

The conference theme ‘Walking the Way’ under-

scores the understanding that to follow the Way of

Jesus means we have choices to make about faithful-

ness in regard to money, giving and generosity.

CONFIRMATION

ST. LUKE’S ~ SAN LUCAS We are privileged to have The Rt. Rev.

Sandy Hampton with us on Saturday,

June 7 at 2:00 pm for the regional Con-

firmation service. He will preside for Confirmation,

Reception, Reaffirmation of Baptismal vows, Bap-

tisms and “First” Communions. The service will be

bilingual, since St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas is a bilingual

congregation.

Bishop Hampton lives in Anacortes with his wife Ma-

ri. He serves our Diocesan Bishop by bringing an

Episcopal presence on behalf of the Diocese. Bishop

Hampton served as Suffragan Bishop in the Diocese

of Minnesota and then as assisting bishop in the Dio-

cese of Olympia.

JAZZ VESPERS Saturday, June 7th starting

at 5:50PM with ten minutes

of opening music. This

month our special guest is

American jazz trumpeter,

Paul Mazzio returning to

St. Luke’s. Paul earned a

Master's Degree in Music

from University of South-

ern California, and a Bache-

lor's degree from North

Texas State University, acclaimed for its outstanding

jazz curriculum. Paul has performed with many art-

ists including the Chuck Israels Orchestra, Tony Ben-

nett, Larry Carlton, the Moody Blues etc. He traveled

extensively with the Woody Herman Orchestra in the

1990s. He also plays with the Oregon Symphony Or-

chestra, and is an in-demand side man in all the finest

local bands and a favorites for wedding ceremonies.

To round out the evening’s ensemble, our own music

director, Tim Nickel on piano, Laurent Nickel on up-

right bass, Don Lawry on drums and cantor, Karyn

Slanina. Great evening to come and bring friends and

neighbors. Don’t miss this great opportunity to enjoy

a evening of superb jazz.

THE DAY OF PENTECOST Pentecost falls seven weeks, or fifty days, after Easter;

the Greek word Pentēkostē literally means “the fifti-

eth day.” This year Pentecost falls on Sunday, June 8.

In the Old Testament, “Pentecost” refers to the Feast

of Weeks, a seven-week agricultural event that fo-

cused on the harvesting of first fruits. And Josephus,

a first-century Jewish historian, referred to

“Pentecost” as the fiftieth day after the first day of

Passover.

In the New Testament, “Pentecost” refers to the com-

ing of the Spirit shortly after Jesus’ death, resurrec-

tion, and ascension:

“When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all

together in one place. And suddenly from heaven

there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind,

and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.

Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them,

and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them

were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in

other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now

there were devout Jews from every nation under

heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the

crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each

one heard them speaking in the native language of

each” (Acts 2:1-6, NRSV).

Christians came to understand the meaning of

Pentecost in terms of the gift of the Spirit, and the

Pentecost event as the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise

concerning the return of the Holy Spirit.

Nowhere, Diocese of Peshawar Church of Pakistan

and also an Army chaplain. He lives in Peshawar

(Khyber Pakhtunekhwa) which borders Afghani-

stan. Fr. Samuel earned a Bachelor of Arts (BA),

Bachelor of Theology (BTH) Pakistan, and Diploma

in Theological Studies (DTS) in the USA from The

cese of Peshawar, Church of Pakistan, Peshawar

ghanistan. His vision is to work among all the na-

tions and spread the word of God.

TAIZÉ The Taizé service

combines readings, chant

-like songs,

silence, soft light and

a unique chancel

display.

Saturday, June 21 at 6:00

pm in the

Chapel of the Blessed

Sacrament. Our theme

this month is “Morning

Has Broken”. Come and enjoy this unique service.

NOTES FROM THE MUSIC ROOM June brings to a close another liturgical year for the

Choir and Handbell Ringers at St. Luke’s ~ San

Lucas. The last Singer/Ringer Sunday will be Trini-

ty Sunday, June 15th, proclaimed hereby as the an-

nual “Pat-a-St. Luke’s-musical-volunteer-on-the-

back” Sunday. It is the fourth season I have com-

pleted with the parish musicians, but I continue to

see a great deal of musical growth and continued

camaraderie here. Both groups have taken on some

pointed musical challenges (read “Bach’s St. John

Passion”) and exceeded expectations in every way.

The week to week commitment and volunteer

hours that are logged in the Music Room and the

back balcony are truly exceptional. We welcomed

four new choir members this season, Geri Hoekze-

ma, who functions as our utility infielder and can

play both alto or soprano positions and often turns

double-plays. To continue the baseball metaphor,

we have three new outfielders on our bass roster,

lead-off man Don Lonsbrough in left, hard-hitting

John Rowe in center, and, batting clean-up, right-

fielder Mike Grigsby-Lane. Veteran Tony Burgess-

Cassler continues as our designated hitter. These

are no rookies. They bring a wealth of musical expe-

rience to the choir and we are happy to have them

in our line-up. Play ball!

The final Jazz Vespers service at St. Luke’s will take

place on the seventh of June. Jazz all-star Paul Maz-

zio will join us again with his trumpet and flugel-

horn. Aaron Scott will lead the service and the origi-

nal Jazz Vespers torch singer, Karyn Slanina will be

our cantor. This service offers song, prayer, scrip-

ture, and jazz classics in a mix that is ideal for invit-

ing friends, neighbors, and family into the church

for an alternative 45-minute ecumenical service

without communion. Please attend and bring

someone with you. The music starts at about 5:50

and the service begins at 6 PM. After the service, we

will again have a jazz-fueled fund-raising reception

in the Parish Hall that you won’t want to miss.

Come and support the work of your parish.

As of this writing, our very own oboist, Hannah

Femling, will have graduated with her music major

degree from St. Olaf. Degrees in music are hard to

come by and this is a significant achievement. We

pray for safe travel for Hannah and her proud fami-

ly and look forward to hearing her beautiful music

often at St. Luke’s.

I will be gone for the first three Sundays of July.

Beginning on July 27th, we will again have a sum-

mer choir that meets on Sunday mornings at 9:15

AM. We are always scouting for new musical talent

and that may be a time for new singers to take

batting practice. Our annual Fun-in-the-Gorge

event for musical rookies and seasoned veterans is

tentatively scheduled for Saturday, September 6th.

Look for more details to emerge.


One more big THANK YOU to our parish music

volunteers. The choir will again offer their musical

benediction by Peter Lutkin at the end of the Sun-

day service on June 15th with the

words God passed through Moses to

Aaron: “The Lord bless you and keep

you. The Lord make his face to shine

upon you and be gracious unto you.”

Amen!

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.

EUROPEAN SUMMER MUSIC Tim and Nancy Nickel will present a program of

organ duets they will play this summer in Europe

at Marylhurst University's St. Anne Chapel on Sun-

day, June 29th at 4 PM. Free, but with what the Brit-

ish call a "Silver Collection." Music by Mozart,

Ravel, Merkel and more.

Out Into The World GIVE TO ECA

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 33.3% of budgeted revenue

and expense.

Summary as of April 30, 2014 Total Budget Year to Date Percent

for the Year Actual of Total

Amounts Budget

Revenues $406,686 $146,648 36%

Expenses $406,686 $144,592 36%

Net Income 0 $2,056

Revenues: Actual revenues for April are ahead of

schedule. However, when pre-pledge contribu-

tions are included the revenue picture is below

expectations by $4,578.

Expenses: Expenses are over YTD budget projec-

tions by $9,030 but can be partially explained by

quarterly pension payments.

Additional Comments:

Net total for April, 2013 is $2,056. Last year the net

was $7,311.

Revenue areas to monitor include lower than ex-

pected contributions in the plate, pledges, and out-

reach categories.

On the expense side, if discretionary spending is con-

trolled in areas such as Services We Provide, Office

Expenses, and Building Maintenance, then efforts can

be devoted to increasing revenue as a means for end-

ing the year in the black.

The Outreach committee is always in need of addi-

tional monetary support; and, The Rector’s discre-

tionary account is getting low and could use some

additional contributions.

Thanks for your continued financial

support of St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas.

Doug Goodlett, Treasurer

VESTRY SUMMARY May 2014

Attendance: Last Sunday’s total attendance was over

200 persons. Let’s work to keep our attendance up after

Confirmation and First Communion on June 7.

Outreach: For homeless persons, we have been

providing “road bags” of food that doesn’t require cooking

or a can opener. The contents may soon include simple

http://www.fredmeyer.com/communityrewards




sandwiches such as PB&J. If you have ideas about our

food pantry, please share them with Dena Cassidy or

Kreta Saathoff.

Eucharist Set: Your Vestry authorized purchase of

two additional Eucharist sets for use by our clergy and

Licensed Eucharistic Ministers (LEMs).

Possible Traffic Change: McDonald’s may build a 24

-hour restaurant at the northeast corner of Main and

Fourth Plain Blvd. None of the four adjoining neighbor-

hoods -- Arnada, Carter Park, Hough, and Shumway –

are pleased with the prospect of increased traffic and

congestion at all hours.

Thursday Crew: They put in 177 hours of work in

April. A refurbished vanity for the Parish Hall Women’s

Room is nearing completion.

Hallway Leak: Work to eliminate the leak in the roof

over the narthex-to-mailbox-landing hallway will begin

shortly.

ADA Remodel: Bids for this capital project have

been received from two contractors. Action by the Ves-

try is pending.

Structural Situation: A Parish Hall ceiling beam near

the Pie Room is sagging. It may need to be jacked up

and reinforced.

Surprise Gift: A local company made a replacement

for part of our sign on Fourth Plain Blvd. at no cost to us.

Thank you!

Thou Shalt Not Park: One of our neighbors along

27th Street has parked vehicles in the northwest corner of

our lot. We will add a CHURCH PARKING ONLY sign

to the post at the entry to our lot and hope that no fur-

ther action will be needed.

Vacation Bible School: This year’s session will be on

July 21 -24. Please let Ebie Mountford know – quickly --

if you plan to volunteer during that busy week.

Outreach (Kreta): “Babies in Need” benefited from

our generosity on Mother’s Day. Kitty Ash, of All Saints,

has championed that charity for many years. May she

continue to do so.

Choir/Music (Stef): The June 7 Jazz Vespers has free

admission. A ticket for the following reception, at which

wine and beer will be available, costs $10.

Cinco de Mayo: The celebration created and hosted

by our Hispanic members was a success, netting about

$1200. There were a few glitches, but next time, things

will run more smoothly.

Alcohol Policy: A proposed policy, based on recom-

mendations from our insurance agency, will be reviewed

by the Chancellor and sent to the Vestry.

AED Training: One session remains in June. See

CALENDAR UPDATES, below.

Fiesta! Our Hispanic ministry began fifteen years ago.

Facil ity CONTRACTOR SELECTED –

CONSTRUCTION NEARS Three contractors evaluated the opportunity to bid

our project. Ultimately there were two bids re-

ceived with the best bid coming in slightly above

our target. Our target was established a year ago.

The winning bid is competitive, especially consider-

ing recent increases in construction activity and

cost. The building committee made its recommen-

dation and the Vestry has approved accepting the

bid. The contract terms are being finalized and the

building permit will be issued in the next few

weeks.

Thank you all for the continued sup-

port, patience and commitment to

making St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas an even

more welcoming facility.

CPR AED TRAINING Our church now owns an AED so we

need a core group of people trained to

use it when it is needed. Please sign-up

in the Narthex for the "Friends and Fami-

ly" training (limit 20, no cost) "Hands

only" technique, no certification on

Thursday, June 26, 2014 7-9 PM. For parishioners

already CPR certified, please put your name on the

bottom of the sign-up sheet in the Narthex or con-


tact Mike Morrison: 360 574-2441 or [email protected] for questions too! More opportunities for training will

follow.

ST. LUKE’S NEEDLEWORK PROJECT: THE ST. LUKE’S WINDOW

On May 17, 1989, the completed St. Luke’s Window banner was presented to the

Parish. This was the third phase effort of a project begun in the early spring of

1984. Funding for the Project was provided by the Antiques Show Committee.

The first two phases dealt with the Altar Rail Kneelers and the Historic Kneelers

for the Altar. The final phase created a replica of the St. Luke’s window, in ban-

ner form (it is now displayed to the left of the Altar Cross).

If you study the St. Luke’s window, and the needlework banner replica, you

will be amazed at the accuracy and artistic craftsmanship of the ‘needlers’. The

project was divided amongst the craft-persons according to the large sections of

the window. The final banner was then put together and an inscription added to

the bottom.

The following list of persons were the ‘needlers’ for this project banner, with the

names positioned to reflect the position/section in the window/banner that each

person worked in needlepoint:
