TRANSCRIPT
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 frjaime@stlukesvancouver.com.
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

DGL (rima con águila). Cada grupo es único y tiene
una identidad propia. Habrá juegos, canciones, cami-
natas, trabajo en equipo, salidas para acampar, tiro
con arco, natación, manualidades y un momento para
la reflexión al final del día. Fuera de nuestros grupos
de descubrimiento, toda la comunidad se une a las
comidas en Curtis Lodge, además de una fogata, un
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.
Camp Huston está acreditado por la American Camp-
ing Association, y aseguramos que haya una enfer-
mera registrada durante todas las horas del pro-
grama.
NUEVO AMANECER La conferencia Nuevo Amanecer se lleva cabo en el

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
THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO 7
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-

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-

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).

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 - deb.stavig@gmail.com. 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.

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
12 THE MESSENGER EL MENSAJERO
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!
