Rector’s Corner LIKE A ROLLING STONE~ Hello everyone! My sabbatical was many
things, but not a peaceful one! It was very
busy in wonderful and interesting ways. I
don’t know if you followed my sabbatical
peregrinations through face book, but I prom-
ise I’ll do a slide show one Sunday after services to do
show and tell. I worked for a few days on Godly Play. I
visited L’Arche houses in Washington D.C. and wit-
nessed a ministry of young people to the elderly disa-
bled in intimate and gracious surroundings. I’ve been
to places where the confrontation between Muslims
and Christians is hot, and our church, The Episcopal
Church, is active in promoting peace and communica-
tion. I got to see French speaking Canada, the place of
my ancestors, and the Viking settlement in Newfound-
land, where Amy’s ancestors settled the Americas. I’ve
been studying politics, family, leadership all under a
theological rubric, which perhaps is the most difficult
part. I visited many churches, preached at two, one of
them a building my father built as a pastor in the 1960s.
I preached for the first time in Ilocano at that latter
church. Finally, I went to see my parents, 90 and 86
years old, beginning to forget everything, even the ear-
ly days.
I bring back a challenge for us as a church: How do we
belong to the global community, and what gifts do we
bring to the global Eucharistic table to share with the
world? I’m blessed to be part of this pilgrimage with
you all, and hoping you will find the blessings along in
the journey with me.

Rincón del Rector
FELIGRESÍA PEREGRINA Hola, ¡aquí estoy! Mi viaje ha sido muy extra-
ño. No sé si siguieron mis viajes sabáticos por
facebook. Me comprometo mostrarles las fotos
un domingo de estos. Trabaje con Jugar Junto
a Dios, que usamos en la jaula de niños en la iglesia. Fui a la
casa LÁrche donde jóvenes trabajan con ancianos inca-
pacitados en un ambiente íntimo y cariñoso. He viaja-
do a lugares donde los Islam están enfrentando cristia-
nos, y nuestra iglesia, La Iglesia Episcopal, es activa-
mente promoviendo entendimiento y paz. Visité el lu-
gar de mis antepasados de habla francés en Canadá, y a
la colonia de los Vikingos en Newfoundland, donde los
antecedentes de Amy colonizaron las Américas. Estu-
diaba política, familia y liderazgo bajo la rúbrica teoló-
gica, que tal vez era la parte más difícil. Visité muchas
iglesias, prediqué en dos, una de ellas en el edificio que
estableció mi padre en las 1960s. Prediqué por primera
vez en Ilocano. Finalmente fui a ver a mis padres, ya
son 90 y 86 de edad, comenzando a olvidar todo, aún
los días más viejas.
Les traigo un reto para nosotros como iglesia: ¿Cómo
pertenecemos a la comunidad global, y qué dones trae-
mos a la mesa Eucarística para compartir con el mun-
do? Estoy bendecido por ser parte de este peregrinaje
con ustedes, esperando que ustedes encuentren las
bendiciones del camino conmigo.

2 THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO
CON AGRADECIMIENTO Verano pasó tan rápido. Mientras
escribo esto, mis niños están
temiendo la idea de volver a la
escuela, mientras que al mismo
tiempo están muy emocionados por ir a comprar los
útiles escolares. Así estuve yo a principios de verano,
ya cuando se acercaba el tiempo de sabático para el P.
Jaime. Yo estaba nervioso sobre lo que traería el
verano, pero entusiasmado con las posibilidades que
se manifestarían.
"La bendición se encuentra en las zonas incómodas"
alguien me dijo una vez. Durante los últimos meses
como Rector-Interino usé muchos sombreros, algunos
se sintieron mejor que otros. Sin embargo, estoy muy
agradecido por las bendiciones que recibí en el
proceso de crecimiento como ministro. Estoy muy
agradecido por el apoyo de la Junta Parroquial, los
líderes del ministerio y de sus muchas palabras de
aliento y ayuda durante este tiempo.
Estoy muy agradecido por el P. la confianza y el
estímulo de Jaime en ayudarme a ser mucho más claro
en mi llamado y vocación.
Padre Eliacin Rosario-Cruz
REPORTE DE
LA GUARDIANA MAYOR Ya llego el mes de Septiembre. ¿A dónde se
fue el verano? P. Jaime está de vuelta de sus
tres meses de sabático y ya comenzó la
escuela. Ha sido un verano maravilloso lleno
actividades en la iglesia. Hemos tenido comidas
informales y caminatas y otras maneras de reunirnos.
Hemos tenido el placer de participar en el desarrollo
de nuestro Rector-Interino y hemos tenido
predicadores invitados de nuestra propia
congregación para ayudar con el lado espiritual de
nuestro crecimiento.
La encuesta de Evaluación de Ministerio Mutuo ha
terminado. Les comparto alguna información
preliminar. Tuvimos 124 personas que participaron en
la encuesta, ya sea en línea o en papel. Hubo 15
respuestas de las personas que asisten a la misa de las
8AM, 83 de los que asisten a la misa de las 10AM y 24
de los que asisten al servicio de 1PM. Dos personas
omitieron esa pregunta. Estos números son
proporcionales a los números que vemos en cada
misa. Tuvimos 18 respuestas de los personas de
edades entre 21-40 años, 26 de los 41 - 60 años de
edad, 57 de los 61-80 años de edad y 20 de los mayores
de 80. Algunos optaron por no marcar la casilla de
edad. Hubo 21 ideas para futuras sesiones de temas
para clases y 45 comentarios.
Como verá cuando presente esta información en las
reuniones el 18 de septiembre, estamos en nuestra
mayoría en acuerdo con nuestra misión. Si he
aprendido algo de esta encuesta, es esto; necesitamos
una comunicación clara y frecuente para que todo el
mundo esté consciente de por qué se toman las
decisiones y lo que esperamos hacer dentro de nuestra
propia comunidad y en el mundo que nos rodea.
Otro de nuestros logros este verano estaba preparando
una solicitud de beca de la diócesis para apoyar
nuestro nuevo ministerio para las familias jóvenes.
Doug Goodlett, P. Eliacin y yo llenamos los papeles y
escribimos la documentación para la beca. Quedamos
encantados al descubrir se nos otorgó la cantidad total
que habíamos solicitado.
Esté pendiente de información sobre un nuevo
directorio con fotografías. Un comité ha elegido un
proveedor y se han creado los horarios para tomar las
fotos. Este proveedor nos ofrece más opciones y nos
ayudará a mantener el actual directorio. Por favor,
regístrese para obtener el horario para tomar sus fotos.
Ahora estamos listos para comenzar las actividades
de otoño. El domingo 11 de septiembre es el
"Domingo de Bienvenida.” El Obispo y la Conferencia
Juvenil HYC estarán aquí el 2 de octubre. El Obispo
confirmara y dará la bienvenida a los miembros por lo
que será un día maravilloso.
Yo estaré fuera la última parte de septiembre y las dos
primeras semanas de octubre. Por favor, póngase en
contacto con el P. Jaime o P. Eliacin durante mi
ausencia. Yo también espero volver renovada y lista
para abordar el presupuesto y la campaña de promesa
este otoño. Estén atentos para más información al
respecto

REPORTE EVALUACIÓN MINISTERIO
MUTUO Muchas gracias por su participación!
La encuesta de la Evaluación de Ministerio Mutuo ya
fue completada. ¿Cuáles son los próximos pasos?
Los resultados de la encuestas ya fueron vistos por el P.
Eliacín. Ya próximo los vera el P. Jaime cuando regrese.
Luego los verán los miembros de la Junta Parroquial en
su reunión el 13 de septiembre.
El domingo, 18 de septiembre vamos a compartir los
resultados de esta encuesta, en inglés después de la
misa de las 10AM y en español después de la misa de
la 1PM.
No todas las preguntas encontraran respuestas ese día,
pues la información es muy reciente y nueva para
todos, pero nos dará un buen comienzo para hablar
sobre nuestra dirección como congregación.
Kathy Gallaher, Guardiana Mayor
HEMOS CRECIDO! Nuestra membresía número supera actualmente los
400, que es un nuevo nivel de tamaño. Como resultado
de ello ahora podemos tener 6 delegados y 6 suplentes
nos representan en la Asamblea Diocesana anual. Ac-
tualmente tenemos 5 delegados y 0 suplentes. Nos gus-
taría añadir 1 más y 6 delegados suplentes. Los requisi-
tos son: un adulto (de 16 años), miembro de esta par-
roquia, bautizado, confirmado/recibidos en la Sede
Episcopal o iglesia luterana y un comunicante de
buena reputación que un contribuyente de registro. Si
usted está interesado en la representación de St. Luke's
~ San Lucas en la convención 21-22 Octubre, póngase
en contacto con la oficina.
EL PAPEL DE LA JUNTA
PARROQUIAL / ¿QUE ES LA JUNTA
PARROQUIAL? Las respuestas a la Encuesta Ministerio Mutua mostra-
ron que el 8% de los encuestados no estaban seguros de
cual es el papel de la Junta Parroquial en el liderazgo
de la Iglesia. Como pronto vamos a elegir a los nuevos
miembros, es importante comunicar algunas de las
funciones y responsabilidades de la Junta Parroquial.
"La Junta Parroquial es elegida por la congregación en
la Reunión Anual. La duración del mandato es tradi-
cionalmente tres años con un tercio que es elegido cada
año. "Las personas elegibles son adultos (16 años o
más) miembros en pleno derecho de San Luke’s ~ San
Lucas (confirmados o recibidos en la iglesia episcopal,
anglicana o luterana) quienes comprometen tiempo,
talento y tesoro para mejorar la misión de la Iglesia. La
Junta Parroquial tiene dos funciones, el liderazgo y ad-
ministración.
"El liderazgo incluye tareas tales como:
Discernir una visión para el futuro
Articular y comunicar la visión
Generar entusiasmo en la congregación
establecer un ejemple de liderazgo que anime al
crecimiento y florecimiento de otros líderes en la
congregación
La administración incluye tareas tales como:
• Presupuesto
• Establecer y hacer cumplir las políticas y procedi-
mientos
• El establecimiento de planes de acción
• El mantenimiento de la propiedad. "*
La Junta Parroquial de St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas se com-
pone de personas dedicadas que representan todas las
facetas de nuestra congregación. Nos reunimos men-
sualmente, comenzamos nuestras reuniones con la ora-
ción o el estudio de la Biblia y luego atendemos los
asuntos de la Iglesia. Todo el trabajo se realiza en cola-
boración con el clero. Se discute el presupuesto y se
trata de manejar nuestros recursos de manera inteli-
gente. Nuestras discusiones pueden ser animadas, ya
que cada uno de nosotros viene a la mesa con un punto
de vista diferente. Nos esforzamos para crear consenso
y entendimiento mutuo. A veces tenemos que tomar
decisiones duras que no son populares y otras veces
tomamos decisiones que apoyan nuevos ministerios o
una nueva dirección para la iglesia. Este es un ministe-
rio sagrado dentro de la Iglesia y es un privilegio ser-
vir.

quial"

INGLÉS COMO SEGUNDO IDIOMA El programa de ESL en SL2 está asumiendo un nuevo
formato en el otoño. Se le ofrecerá a los estudiantes de
los términos anteriores la oportunidad de reunirse de 1
en 1, o 1, el 2, con tutores durante una hora cada sema-
na. La fechas y hora delas tutorías aún no se han deci-
dido. Le damos la bienvenida a cualquier persona que
pueda comprometerse a una hora de tiempo de tutoría
cada semana para unirse al equipo de ESL a mediados
de septiembre. Por favor, póngase en contacto con
Jeanne Stephens 206-245-0426.
HISTORIA DE LA IGLESIA DE
SAN LUCAS DIGITALIZADA En 1994, la iglesia de San Lucas publicó un libro sobre
de la historia de la iglesia desde sus primeros años has-
ta 1992 escrito por Lesla Scott. Este gran volumen se
recopiló y preparó a partir de las minutas de la Junta
Parroquial, las minutas de otros ministerios, articulas
periodísticos y las contribuciones de varios feligreses.
Como alguien dijo recientemente, "Es sorprendente
que esta iglesia tiene una historia tan larga".
En lugar de volver a imprimir (más de 400 páginas de
largo), la historia ha sido digitalizada en un PDF en un
CD. Para lograrlo fue necesario convertir todos de los
documentos escritos a maquinilla a el formato en un
procesador de textos, además de el escanear e incluirán
más de 100 fotografías. Debido a que es digitalizada,
las herramientas de búsqueda de Acrobat Reader se
pueden utilizar fácilmente para encontrar una sección
particular o múltiples referencias sobre un evento o
persona en la historia de San Lucas.
Además, se ha creado un suplemento en este Volumen
y colocado en el CD. Contiene reimpresiones de mu-
chos artículos escritos por el Archivista de nuestra pa-
rroquia en el Mensajero, así como otros artículos y bio-
grafías. La biografía del reverendo John D. McCarty,
nuestro primer rector, se incluye, al igual que las imá-
genes de dominio público.
Este CD se ofrecerá por la una donación de $20 para el
Fondo General de la Iglesia. Las ventas comenzarán en
septiembre. Busque uno en la mesa de ventas, o inscrí-
base en la hoja en el atrio de reservar su copia. Los do-
cumentos en el CD son en ingles.

Meta 2: Expandir Programas Sociales
REPORTE DEL MINISTERO A LA
COMUNIDAD Gracias a todos por los materiales escolares donados.
Ustedes hicieron posible la distribución 44 mochilas
llenas de suministro de nuevo este año escolar. La res-
puesta de todos ustedes fue increíble. ¡Muchas gracias!
Estoy feliz de anunciar que Deb Stavig será la persona
encargado de los esfuerzos de distribución de ayudas a
los necesitados durante la semana. Deb ha estado coor-
dinando voluntarios y otros aspectos de este maravillo-
so ministerio que St. Luke's ~ San Lucas ofrece a los ne-
cesitados.
En otoño trasladaremos esta parte de ministerio a la
planta baja de la iglesia. Espere más información en la
edición de octubre del Mensajero.
¿Quieres saber más acerca este ministerio de ayuda a
los necesitados? ¿Quieres aprender cómo puede ayu-
dar? Venga a vernos en nuestra mesa durante el Do-
mingo de Bienvenida el 11 de septiembre, o póngase en
contacto conmigo, Lynne Hulse-
Marque su calendario para Octubre 20, cuando vamos a

viembre para. Acción de Gracias (más información a
seguir para ambos eventos).
Gracias por tu apoyo continuo.
Lynne Hulse, Enlace Vestry
LA EXPANSIÓN DE LA DISTRIBUCIÓN
Nuestro Ministerio de Ayuda a los Necesitados está en
crecimiento otra vez. La semilla que fue plantada hace
muchos años de proporcionar bolsas de alimentos, pro-
ductos de higiene, y los boletos de autobús a las perso-
nas necesitadas ha superado su espacio que hemos usa-
do hasta ahora. Ahora servimos de 25-30 personas to-
dos los días en el área de la oficina de la iglesia. Esta-
mos en condiciones de ofrecerles ropa, artículos de hi-
giene, comidas, pasteles, rosquillas, boletos de autobús,
y bolsas de alimentos. En octubre tenemos la intención
de mover este ministerio a la planta baja con el fin de
aliviar la congestión fuera de la oficina y servir mejor a
los que lo necesitan. En la planta baja, los huéspedes
podrán relajarse, comer su almuerzo, y beber agua y / o
café en la sala de hospitalidad. También tendremos, un
amplio armario de ropa donde pueden encontrar fácil-
mente la ropa o artículos de higiene necesarias. Más
adelante en el año tendremos la Fase 2. En esa fase abri-
remos nuestra despensa de alimentos, donde se distri-
buirá alimentos no perecederos. En el futuro esperamos
traer a los profesionales que pueden ayudar a nuestros
visitantes a mejorar sus vidas.
Debido a su apoyo y generosidad, hemos sido capaces
de servir a 2,351 personas para finales de Mayo. Con
nuestra expansión planificada, necesitamos más perso-
nas dispuestas a hacer sándwiches, honrar pare la sala
de hospitalidad, ordenar la ropa, saludar a los visitan-
tes, ser anfitriones de la ropa del armario, y solicitar los
productos a empresas. Nos encantaría su ayuda, inclu-

Meta 3: Crecer En Fe
MINISTERIO PARA NIÑOS
V B S Qué increíble VBS que tuvimos este año! Se promedia-
ron unos 35 niños cada día. Los niños disfrutaron ju-
gando y haciendo manualidades con playdoh, abalo-
rios y pintura. También tenían la tarea de decirle al P.
Eliacin de donde viene el queso, aunque parece que
aún puede ser un poco confuso todavía para el. Gra-
cias a todos los padres y abuelos que pudieron dejar a
sus hijos y nietos participan en VBS este año.
También quiero dar un agradecimiento especial a to-
dos nuestros voluntarios que se dedicaron su tiempo
para hacer que esta semana fuera tan especial para los
niños. Se han hecho recuerdos que siempre quedaran
con ellos. Nosotros realmente no podríamos haberlo
hecho sin su participación. Muchas Gracias!
ESCUELA DOMINCAL Por favor, únase a nosotros en domingo de bienvenido
11 de septiembre en el salón parroquial como tendre-
mos una mesa de tal manera que los padres pueden
completar los formularios de registro para todos los
niños de la escuela dominical y para los nuevos niños
que se van a unir a nosotros. Si usted no tiene una
oportunidad para llenar un formulario de registro en
este domingo, por favor pase por la sala de la Escuela
Dominical los domingos y para poder completarlo. Es
importante que mantengamos la seguridad y saber
entender de las preocupaciones en materia de salud
que se pueden evitar de los niños.
Nuestro primer día en la escuela dominical es el 18 de
septiembre. Vamos a tener una fiesta de helados! Tam-
bién voy a completar una lección de la escuela de do-
mingo para ir con nuestro. Realmente he extrañado
todos los niños y estoy deseando volver a verlos!
VOLUNTARIOS DE LA ESCUELA DOMINICAL Tenemos gran necesidad de voluntarios en la Escuela
Dominical. Como muchos de ustedes saben, mi esposo
8 THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO
y yo estamos esperando un bebé que llegará a finales
de octubre y principios de noviembre. Desafortunada-
mente, debido a problemas médicos que no puedo
controlar, tengo que tener a mí bebe por medio de ce-
sárea y no podrá recuperarme tan rápido como me
gustaría. Para las semanas después de que nuestro
bebé llegue, no podré venir y estar aquí para la escue-

THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO 9
WITH GRATITUDE What a ride! Summer went by so fast.
As I write this there is a group of kids
in my house dreading the idea of go-
ing back to school, while at the same
time they are very excited about going
shopping for school supplies. But I guess that was me
at the beginning of the summer as Fr. Jaime’s sabbati-
cal was approaching. I was nervous about the un-
knowns, but excited about the possibilities.
“The blessing is found in the uncomfortable areas”
someone told me once. For the past months as Acting-
Rector I wore many hats, some fit better than others.
Yet, I am very grateful for the blessings that came out
of being stretched and having to step up in areas that
were new to me.
I am grateful for the support of the Vestry, the ministry
leaders and for your many words of encouragement
and help during this time. I am grateful for Fr. Jaime’s
trust and encouragement in helping me become much
clearer in my call and vocation.
Fr. Eliacin Rosario-Cruz, Curate
SENIOR WARDEN’S MESSAGE It is September already. Where has the sum-
mer gone? Fr. Jaime is back from his sabbati-
cal and school has started. It has been a
wonderful summer for activities around the
church. We have had potlucks and hikes and
other ways to get together. We have had the pleasure
of sharing in the development of our acting rector and
have had guest preachers from our own congregation
to help with the spiritual side of our growth.
The Mutual Ministry Survey is now closed. Here is
some preliminary information. We had 124 people take
the survey either on line or by paper. There were 15
responses from people who attend the 8AM service, 83
from those who attend the 10AM service and 24 from
those who attend the 1PM service. Two people skipped
this question. These numbers are proportional to the
numbers we see at each service. We had 18 responses
from 21-40 year olds, 26 from those 41 – 60 years old,
57 from those 61-80 years old and 20 from those older
than 80. A few chose not to check the age box. There
were 21 ideas for future Topics sessions and 45 com-
ments. As you will see when I present this information
in the meetings on Sunday, September 18th, we are
mostly aligned in our mission. If I have learned any-
thing from this survey, it is this: we need clear and fre-
quent communication so everyone is aware why deci-
sions are being made and what we hope to do within
our own community and for the world around us.
Another of our accomplishments this summer was pre-
paring a grant request from the Diocese to support our
new ministry to young families. Doug Goodlett, Fr.
Eliacin and I filled out the paperwork and wrote the
grant. We were pleased to find out that we have re-
ceived the total amount we requested. Look for new
worship and social activities for this group. As we all
know who have raised children, this is a stressful time
and the needs of the young families group are much
different than those of us whose children are out of the
home.
Watch for information about a new pictorial directory.
A committee has chosen a vendor and times have been
set up for the pictures to be taken. This vendor is offer-
ing us more options and will help us keep the directo-
ry current. Please sign up for time to get your pictures
taken.
We are now ready to jump into the fall activities. Sun-
day, September 11 is “Welcome Back Sunday”. The
Bishop and HYC will be here on October 2nd. The Bish-
op will be confirming and welcoming members so it
will be a wonderful day.
I will be gone the last part of September and the first
two weeks of October. Please contact Fr. Jaime or Fr.
Eliacin with issues in my absence. I too hope to come
back refreshed and ready to tackle the budget and
pledge drive this fall. Stay tuned for more information
as we plan to be fairly aggressive this year so we can
continue the wonderful programs we have been enjoy-
ing.
Kathy Gallaher
MUTUAL MINISTRY REVIEW
SURVEY RESULTS! The Mutual Ministry Review survey is complete. So
now, what are the next steps?
The survey has been reviewed by Fr. Eliacin. Next, it
will be shared with Fr. Jaime when he returns. The
10 THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO
Vestry will have a presentation at their meeting on
September 13th. They will start looking at how to re-
spond to concerns and questions.
On Sunday, September 18th, the results of the survey
will be shared with the congregation. Parish meetings
are planned after the 10AM service and the 1PM ser-
vice. We are waiting to see how the 8AM service
would like to have the information presented. It may
be after the service or at breakfast. Their choice. All of
the data and comments (favorable and unfavorable)
will be shared as written. Not everything will have an
answer at this meeting as the data is raw and new to
everyone. This gives us a wonderful starting point for
discussion and sharing.
Please put this on your calendar and plan to attend one
of the sessions. Kathy Gallaher, Senior Warden
THE ROLE OF THE VESTRY Answers to the Mutual Ministry Survey showed that
8% of the respondents were not sure what the role of
the Vestry was in the leadership of the Church. Since
we will soon be electing new members, it is important
to communicate some of the roles and responsibilities.
“The Vestry is elected by the congregation at the An-
nual Meeting. The term of office is traditionally three
years with one-third being elected each year.” Those
eligible are adult (age 16 or older) full members of St.
Luke’s ~ San Lucas parish, (confirmed or received in
the Episcopal, Anglican or Lutheran church) and
pledge their time, talent and treasure to enhance the
mission of the Church. The Vestry has two roles; i.e.
leadership and management.
“Leadership includes tasks such as:
Discerning a vision for the future
Articulating and communicating the vision
Generating enthusiasm and “buy-in” from the
congregation
Setting the tone for leadership that encourages
other leaders in the congregation to grow and
flourish.
Management includes tasks such as:
Budgeting
Establishing and enforcing policies and
procedures
Establishing action plans
Maintaining property.”*
St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas’ Vestry is made up of dedicated
people representing all facets of our congregation. We
meet monthly, start with prayer or bible study and
then attend to the business of the Church. All work is
done in partnership with the clergy. We discuss the
budget and try to manage our resources wisely. Our
discussions can be lively as each of us comes to the ta-
ble with a different point of view. We strive for consen-
sus and mutual understanding. We sometimes have to
make hard decisions that are not popular and other
times ones that support new ministries or a new direc-
tion for the church. This is a sacred ministry within the
Church and it is a privilege to serve.

2016 PHOTO DIRECTORY It’s time for a new church pictorial directory this fall!
We are very excited by some new features. We have
chosen a smaller directory format that will provide for
free updates when we have new household members,
including their photos! Additionally, we will have a
pdf version that we can email to members. Phone
numbers, email addresses and residence addresses will
be hot linked to allow for easy smart phone access on
the go or just easier look ups on your home computer.
Either method, this directory will help us connect
better with each other.
By now we hope that you have received a membership
roster in the mail. It is very important that you review
your listing in this roster to be sure that we have in-
cluded all your household members, names spelled
correctly, address, phone number(s), and email ad-
dress (s) all correct. If you find any errors please email
these corrections to the church office
([email protected]) or make corrections to
the master roster list available on September Sundays.
If you have NOT received a membership roster in the
mail, it could be due to the postal service but more
likely one of the following situations is true:
Your address has changed and we do not have
your new address.
We have not received a Family Information form
for your household. These will be available at the
Photo Directory table on Sundays or contact the
church office and we will email or snail mail the
form to you. (360-696-0181).
We want to include everyone who is part of St. Luke’s
~ San Lucas but we know we are missing information
for some households and ask your help to complete
our records.
This new church pictorial directory will be provided at
no cost to you or our church and there is no cost to you
to have your photographs taken. Just for participating,
you will receive a complimentary professional 8 x 10
portrait (of any of the poses taken during your session)
and a church directory. Our church directory will help
us connect names with faces and will not be complete
without YOU! So PLEASE take the time to participate
and make this directory a beautiful tool with which to
become more aware of each other.
12 THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO
After you are photographed, you will be able to view
your images immediately. If you so desire, you will
have the opportunity to purchase additional portraits
(which you will receive before Christmas). This is a
wonderful opportunity to bring along extended family
members to have a professional portrait taken even
though they will not be in the directory. Even your
friends can make an appointment!
We will be photographing during two weeks this fall.
The first week of photo sessions is Tues. Sept. 20 –
Thur. Sept. 22, from 1PM-8:30PM. After we have
scheduled all the appointments in the first week we
will open up the second week: Fri. Oct. 14 - Sun. Oct.
16, 10AM-5:30PM.
Early sign-ups will get the first choice of times, so sign
up on-line at our website:
www.stlukesvancouver.com. Look for the “Sign Up
Now” button on the first page and click on this to
schedule your photo session. If you do not have a
computer or want to schedule with one of our volun-
teers, just stop by the sign-up table after any of the ser-
vices.
For those who purchase portraits, there are some great
discounts available:
EVERY FAMILY WILL RECEIVE a $10 OFF
COUPON- available when you check in for
your appointment.
Families with a member age sixty or older will
receive a 20% discount.
We also want to encourage you to invite friends and
family to schedule a photo session at St. Luke’s ~ San
Lucas. They won’t be in our directory but the church
will receive an extra directory to give to new members.
Same great prices and free 8X10 photo!
If you have any questions please contact Pam Goodlett
(360-573-6267), Dena Cassidy (360-521-6079) or the

Goal 2: Expand Outreach OUTREACH Thank you all for the School Supplies you donated!
You made it possible for us to distribute 44 supply-
filled backpacks to children in need! Plus remaining
supplies to take to our local school district. The re-
sponse from all of you was amazing. Thank you so
much!
I am happy to announce that Deb Stavig will be the
manager for the food (etc.) and clothes closet distribu-
tion effort. Deb has been coordinating volunteers and
other aspects of this wonderful endeavor that St.
Luke’s’ ~ San Lucas offers to those in need. We are go-
ing to relocate this part of Outreach to the basement
soon. Watch for more information in the October Mes-
senger.
Want to know more about Outreach? Want to learn
how you can help? Come see us at our table during the
Welcome Back Sunday Picnic, September 11, or contact
me, Lynne Hulse at [email protected].
Mark your calendars for October 20th when we will
have the next Burgerville HOPE event.
As we look forward to fall I want to ensure that you
know there will be a change to one of our traditional
drives; the annual food basket drive will be moving to
November for Thanksgiving (more information to fol-
low for both events).
P.S. Outreach meetings are held monthly from 6:30-
8:30pm on the first Wednesday, September 7.

VANCOUVER PEACE & JUSTICE FAIR The 12th annual Peace and Justice Fair will be Satur-
day, September 10 at Esther Short Park. St Luke's ~
San Lucas has exhibited for several years and we will
be exhibitors again. Being at the Fair is the most visible
parish presence in the community outside our campus.
Please commit to helping this large and unique once-
per-year event. Help is needed to plan the exhibit in
advance, then on Fair day to load the truck at church,
unload and set up in the Park, welcome visitors to the
exhibit from 9AM-4PM, take down, load the truck,
and unload back on campus. Many helpers means no-
body must do all that work. This is major opportunity
to promote our parish and present our Episcopalian/
Anglican form of Christianity. Evangelism in kit form!
Sign-up for a shift and come share in the wonderful
experience at this annual festival.

VALLEY HOMESTEAD SHELTER St. Luke's has committed to providing one meal each
month for those staying at the Valley Homestead Shel-
ter, a shelter for homeless families again this year as we
have for many years. All but one month has been
claimed. Since we have received a $100 gift to cover the
cost of the food, we just need 1-2 volunteers to plan,
shop and deliver the food for this meal on September
20. All receipts can be submitted for full refund. For
more information please call Dena Cassidy (360) 695-

2016 HOLIDAY CRAFT SALE Supporting more than a century and a half
of community service
The logistics plans for the 2016 Craft Sale have been fi-

will be held at Alki Middle School in Hazel Dell.
There is a wonderful collection of unique crafts now
being made or planned by the St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas
Arts & Crafts Guild, but the Guild needs more crafters
and/or artists. If you would like to participate in sup-
porting this effort, please contact Joseph Ziemba at jo-

ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE The ESL program at SL2 is taking on a new form in the
fall. Students from the previous terms will be offered a
chance for 1 on 1, or 1 on 2, tutoring for an hour each
week. The teaching times are not yet set and will be
made convenient to the volunteers and their pupils. We
welcome anyone who can commit to an hour of tutor-

ALS WALK – OCTOBER 1, 2016 This is our 8th year in the WALK TO DEFEAT ALS. As
always, we will be walking in loving memory of Father
Eric Werts. This 5K walk helps us raise funds for re-
search, support of families, awareness and most im-
portantly finding a CURE. This is a horrible disease that
strikes someone every 90 minutes and every 90 minutes
someone loses their battle with ALS. The average life
span is 2 – 5 years after diagnosis. Father Eric survived
3 years, 2 months and 10 days. We need to continue
what the “ice bucket challenge” started with raising
funds and putting ALS to the forefront in people’s
minds.
The ALS Association and the community of St Luke’s ~
San Lucas were so good to us and helped make Eric’s
journey so much easier. I hope you will consider sup-
porting our walk team FOR THE LOVE OF ERIC again
this year with a donation as we WALK TO DEFEAT
ALS. Online donation via our website: http://
webor.alsa.org/goto/ruth_werts or mail me a check
made out to “ALS Association”.
We would love to have you join us for this 5K walk on
Saturday, October 1st. Please arrive at Esther Short
Park between 11 and 11:30 to gather our team and do
pictures. The walk begins at 11:45AM. If you can join
us, please let me know. (If you walked last year and
still have your red bandana, please wear it again as it is
a symbol that you are part of FOR THE LOVE OF ERIC
team.) If you or anyone else would like more infor-
mation about ALS, please go to www.alsa.org.
Thank you so very much.

Goal 3: Spiritual Growth CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL REPORT What an amazing VBS we had this year! We averaged
about 35 children every day. The Children enjoyed
playing games and making crafts with playdoh, beads,
and paint. They also got the job of telling Fr. Eliacin
where cheese comes from, although it sounds like he
still might be a little confused. Thank you to all of the
parents and grandparents that were able to let their
children and grandchildren participate in VBS this
year.
I also want to give a special thanks to all of our volun-
teers that went above and beyond to make this week so
special for the children. You have created memories
that will forever last with them. We truly could not
have done it without everyone that volunteered.
Thanks you so much!
SUNDAY SCHOOL Please join us on Welcome Back Sunday, September 11
in the Parish Hall as we will have a table setup so that
the parents can complete registration forms for all cur-
rent Sunday school children and for any new children
that will be joining us. If you do not get a chance to fill
out a registration form on this Sunday, please stop by
the Sunday School room on Sundays and we will get
this completed. It is important that we keep their safety
and understand any health concerns that we can avoid.
Our first day back in Sunday school is September 18.
We are looking at having a welcome back ice cream
social! I will also complete a Sunday school lesson to
go with our Ice cream social. I have really missed all of
them and I am really looking forward to seeing them
again!
SUNDAY SCHOOL VOLUNTEERS We are in great need of Sunday School Volunteers. As
many of you know, my husband and I are expecting a
baby boy who will arrive at the end of October or be-
ginning of November. Unfortunately due to medical
issues that I cannot control, I will have to deliver my
baby boy via C-Section and will not be able to bounce
back as fast as I would like. For the weeks after our ba-
by boy arrives, I will not be able to come in and be here
for Sunday school and the need for Volunteers is great.
Please contact me if you have any questions and we
have a signup sheet that is located in the Narthex.

NOTES FROM THE MUSIC ROOM We have had an interesting summer of music at
St. Luke ~ San Lucas: our own soprano soloist Cathe-
rine van der Salm, jazz genius Mike Horsfall on vibes,
our new Dynamic Duo of singers Avis Horjus and Beth
Lawson, singer/songwriter Justin Little, Hannah Fem-
ling on the English Horn, Willy and his Band - lots of
musical talent in our parish. The TGIF Piano Duet Fes-
tival Vancouver had a very successful debut with strong
attendance at the series of four concerts and generous
free-will offerings. There were many faces new to our
nave, checking out the stained glass windows and
painted organ pipes.
Looking ahead to the Fall, we are excited to announce
that The Ensemble will present their entire six-concert
series at St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas in the coming year.
Their first program is Friday night, September 16th, and
although their ticket prices have risen this year, mem-
bers of the St. Luke’s-San Lucas community will still be
able to attend each concert for just $10. Mark your cal-
endars.
Our choir and hand bell ringers will retreat up the
Gorge on Saturday, September 17th for our annual get-
together and have our first Wednesday rehearsals al-
ready on the 13th, bells at 6PM and choir at 7PM. New
ringers and singers are always welcome.
Tim Nickel, Music Director
FUN WAYS TO GET INVOLVED Photography Committee Like to take pictures? We
would like pictures of our important events, ministries
in action and general life of our Parish for advertising
and archives. Hoping to find help soon with this min-
istry!
Library Committee We have a wonderful library with
many books. Some have been organized but many new
donations need attention. This is a great way to pro-
vide opportunities for spiritual enrichment to the
parish.
Transportation Ministry: From time to time one of
our members needs/requests help with a ride to
church. If you can provide transportation for someone
to a Sunday service this is the ministry for you!
Friday Night Live After leading this ministry for 8
years, Brad and Ginger Harris will be stepping down
beginning in 2017. This is a fun and easy ministry to
manage and Brad and Ginger will gladly teach you the
ropes!
Please contact the Office if you are interested in any of
these ministries. [email protected] or 360-
696-0181.

LIFE GOES ON The next meeting of Life Goes On is on Thursdays,
September 29 at 2PM a farewell party for Joan
Mclean at Glenwood Retirement Center (5500 NE 82nd
Ave, near the Vancouver Mall). We are a group of peo-
ple who have faced significant loss and are in the pro-
cess of grieving. Some lost someone several years ago,
others have lost someone this past year. We share grief
and loss and work hard not only to remember the ones
we have lost but to find new meaning and purpose in
continuing our lives. Life does go on. Please feel wel-
comed to come join our group. We share together from
2-4PM, including some goodies, coffee and tea.
The Rev. Dennis Cole

THE ENSEMBLE CONCERT September 16, 2016, 7PM
St Luke's ~ San Lucas Episcopal Church, Vancouver
ANNE BOLEYN'S MOTET BOOK
Anne Boleyn's Motet Book will feature motets and chansons
found in a manuscript book currently housed at the
Royal College of Music, London, that is believed to
have been Anne Boleyn's. The music is by the greatest
composers of the early 16th century including Josquin,
Compère and Brumel.
Ticket price for St. Luke’s ~ San Lucas members is $10.
Purchase is available on Sunday’s after services or con-
tact the church office during the week for reservations.
CHOR ANNO CONCERT Saturday, September 17, 2016, 7PM
St. Luke's ~ San Lucas Episcopal Church Suggest Donation $20 but any amount is fine.
"Unclouded Day" - This year's program leans toward
compositions by some of the leading contemporary
composers, several pieces being heard for the first
time. It's a real mix of beautiful choral singing.
Chor Anno is a non-profit arts group whose profes-
sional level singers are the heart and soul of the group.
No one in the choir is actually being paid for their par-
ticipation. The members simply sing because they love
THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO 17
the experience of singing together and sharing their
songs
“R @ R” GROUP This group will resume their monthly meetings on the
third Wednesdays. Rev. Chuck Barnes invites all to the
Retirees @ Restaurants (R@R for short) on Wednesday,
September 21 at 9AM at Dulin’s Café located at 1929
Main St, Vancouver, WA 98660 for breakfast and lively
conversation.
FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE This event is an opportunity for us to get together cas-
ually in a member’s home. Great way to become more
acquainted and to be with friends. The host provides
the main course only and guests bring a dish to share
(appetizer, salad, side or dessert) and their own bever-
age. Look for the sign-up sheet and maps in the parish
hall next to the kitchen door. Please sign-up so the
hosts know how many to prepare for.
In September, Sharon and Jim Mayhew will host Fri-
day Night Live on September 23rd starting at 6:30PM.
Their address is 1019 NW 79th Cir, Vancouver 98685
and phone number 360-574-0074.
We are also looking for someone to host the Decem-
ber's event. In the past, it has been a white elephant
gift exchange but doesn't have to be. Also, due to
Christmas, the date is flexible. Anyone interested in
hosting a Friday Night Live, please contact Brad or
Ginger Harris. We always welcome new hosts! Please
address any questions to Ginger or Brad Harris. (971-
373-8894) or at [email protected]
SINGER/SONGWRITER
SHOWCASE Come join us on Saturday, September 24th, at
8PM for a concert featuring original songs
from 3 new local singer/songwriters includ-
ing St. Luke's ~ San Lucas parishioner, Justin
Little. Doors will open at 7:30PM.
$5 suggested donation.
About Justin:
With each song I write, I strive to capture the inher-
ent beauty and present pain of life, relationships,
faith and doubt. Songwriting is my passion, nur-
tured in childhood by a love of playing and listen-
ing to the music of Simon and Garfunkel, The Beat-
les and other old favorites of my father, and discov-
ered in adolescence as a form of prayer and protest
under the influence of Dave Matthews, Jars of Clay
and many other folk and alternative artists. Now a
husband and father of two, I continue to seek mean-
ing in the landscapes and the people I encounter,
finding hope in my craft of gorgeous melodies and
thoughtful lyrics. Website: patreon.com/justinlittle
About Caryn:
Born in Southeast Alaska to minister parents, Caryn's
musical influence can be attributed as much to her up-
bringing in the church as well as to the raw talent that
runs through her blood. Caryn gigs around the Pacific
Northwest and spends her days writing music from
the heart that both inspires and encourages. Website:
facebook.com/carynjamiesonmusic
About Isabeau:
From the island of Maui where the Waia'u's are a col-
lection of music makers. Our joys were proclaimed,
our prayers were lifted up, our fears were fleshed out
and our hopes are declared all through music. That is
where this art of song was fostered. I am a teacher.
First as a high school social studies teacher now as a
7th grader Geography teacher. Music is not a "side
thing" I feel lead to do both and to do both well.
Website: patreon.com/isabeau

TREASURER’S REPORT BUDGET SUMMARY
“Dollars and Sense”
Percentages should to be at 58.3% of budgeted revenue
and expense.
Summary as of July 31, 2016
Revenues: Actual revenues as of August are
ahead of what would be expected. Pledge income
is right where we would expect it to be, so congrat-
ulations for making your payments during the
summer months. Your gifts are very much appreci-
ated and help to fully support our goals and out-
standing ministries.
Expenses: Overall expenses are under year-to-
date budget projections by $6,733. This is mostly
due to not hiring a youth coordinator and less ser-
vices being provided than budgeted for this time of
the year.
Additional Comments:
Here’s an easy way to make money for St. Luke ~ San
Lucas. If you shop at Fred Meyer and sign up for the
Fred Meyer Rewards program, you can have a per-
centage of your purchases turned into money for our
church. This about as simple as “giving” can be. So far
we have received $484.66 from FM because so many of
you have signed up for this automatic program…and
it doesn’t cost you anything. See Sandy Geer for enroll-
ment information.
A letter from Vancouver Public Schools Foundation for
Burgerville fundraiser: More than 23,000 students of
diverse backgrounds walk through the doors of 37 VPS every
day. Since 1988, the Foundations has passionately worked to
address student’s unmet basic needs and to provide the fun-
damental learning tools, enrichment programs, and mentor-
ing opportunities that enhance their educational experience.
Thank you for your commitment to what we do. Sincerely
Nada Wheelock. Special hand note reads: Thank you
for supporting HOPE and our most vulnerable students!
Doug Goodlett, Treasurer
OUR CHURCH’S HISTORY DIGITALIZED In 1994, St. Luke’s Church published a printed copy of
Lesla Scott’s history of the church from its early years
through 1992. This large volume had been gathered
and prepared from Vestry minutes, Guild minutes,
newspaper accounts, and contributions from various
parishioners. As someone said recently, “It is amazing
that this church has such a long history”.
Rather than re-printing (it is over 400 pages long), the
history has been digitalized into a PDF on a CD. The
effort required converting all of the type, formatting in
a word processor, and scanning and inserting over 100
pictures that Lesla had included. Because it is digital-
ized, the search tools of Acrobat Reader can be easily
used to find a particular section or multiple references
to an event or person.
In addition, a Supplement to this Volume One has
been created and placed on the CD. It contains reprints
of many Messenger articles written by the Parish Ar-
chivist, as well as other articles and biographies. The
biography of Rev. John D. McCarty, our first rector, is
included, as are public domain pictures to provide in-
terest or reference.
This CD will be offered for a donation to the Church
General Fund of $20.00. Sales will begin in September.
Look for a sales table, or sign-up sheet to reserve your
copy.
