Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I feel like this is one of those times in our history when

my faith runs against the direction that our country is

headed. I hear the words of Jesus in my head, “Love one

another,” and at the same time, with the new

Administration in our United States, I feel fear. It’s not

that my beliefs have always been right in line with the

government of our nation, but right now, everything

appears to be more urgent.

The first picket sign I ever carried was in the San Diego

version of the March on Washington in 1963. That time,

I was herded by my parents and their friends to stand for

justice against the segregation laws in the south.

I grew up listening to Martin Luther King, Jr. and was educated about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in

the Episcopal Church my entire life. And yet, now, I find myself wondering what happened? My fear is

for those who have been vetted as refugees and still have been turned away from coming to the United

States. I realize this is intended as a temporary ban on people traveling here from 7 predominantly

Muslim countries, but when my faith that tells me to welcome the stranger, I am confused.

Our Idaho Diocesan Convention this year was focused on helping the refugee community in Twin Falls

where many families are being supported and helped to settle. We heard from our guest speaker, Tara

McFarland. She is the Match Grant Coordinator at CSI Refuge Center. She helped us understand that

what these families need is the same things we want for our families; food, shelter, clean water, clothing,

safety, education and jobs.

Ascension Episcopal Church in Twin Falls has entered in relationship with these immigrants from far

away, making garden space so they can grow their own vegetables and they have helped these people get

settled in their new homes. I pray they get to stay. Buddy Hall, from our church, travels to this program

in Twin once a month carrying items that our church has donated. She says that what is needed most for

the refugees right now is diapers and kitchen tools, pans, measuring cups, etc. If you choose to donate,

we have a box in the office for items to be transported.

I know that ever since “9-11,” we have all had worry about what huge event from outside factions could

invade us the next time. And I know that some in our country and around the world have experienced

violent actions at the hands of those who have been brainwashed to kill Americans. But what scares me is

the fear that we exhibit by trying to build fortresses instead of bridges.

Most of the refugees that come to our country are vetted more stringently than anywhere else in the

world. They are fleeing violence, hunger, homelessness, wars; so many, some children, are killed in their

own beds. Violence against human beings should not be the way of life for anyone, and yet many are the

victims of killing.

I realize that our own congregation is not in agreement about the politics of our country right now. That’s

the way we have always lived. This makes good sense to us because we like to worship together, work

together and still have our own opinions.

As Christians, we are called not only to tolerate one another, but to practice hospitality and to love. We

are commanded by our Savior to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and those in prison.

Grant, O God, that your holy and life-giving Spirit may so move every human heart [and especially the

hearts of the people of this land], that barriers which divide us may crumble, suspicions disappear, and

hatreds cease; that our divisions being healed, we may live in justice and peace; through Jesus Christ

our Lord. Amen. Book of Common Prayer - Page 823

Yours in Christ,

Pastor Susan+

FROM THE SENIOR WARDEN

By Nick Burrows

I grew up in Salt Lake City and went to college in

Philadelphia before moving to Idaho in 2003. It took

me a while to find St. Luke’s, as I didn’t start attending

until 2014, but from my first moment in the church, I

felt at home.

My faith journey has inspired a conviction in me to

advocate for those who are often marginalized in

society. This conviction brought me into the world of

non-profit work. Currently, I am the Head Start and

Early Head Start Director for EICAP. Head Start is a

holistic program that not only provides high quality

early childhood education, but also ensures the health

and nutrition of children and helps families establish

and work towards attaining goals. My program has 8

centers spread out across 5 counties. I love my work!

I am just concluding my first year on the Vestry. It has

been a surprising and enriching experience. When you

bring people together from so many different

backgrounds and experiences, the potential for conflict

seems likely. However, that wasn’t the case for your

Vestry during my first year. From the beginning of the

year through the leadership of Pastor Susan and Misty,

as our Senior Warden, we have been solution and

collaboration minded. Overall, I think we had a great

year. I look forward to two more years on the Vestry

and as the Senior Warden this year. In addition to my

service on the Vestry, I have served on the Long-Range

Planning Committee and have coordinated Outreach for

the past year. I also started helping with Sunday

School. I am so happy that I accepted the invitation

when Pastor Susan asked me to run for Vestry.

VESTRY MOMENT

By Zoe Creed

My name is Zoe Creed. I am 27. I’ve

been on the Vestry for one year. To

be honest when I was first asked to

be on the Vestry I was hesitant and

even a little confused. I am a full

time graduate student who had

almost no experience working on a committee. I said I

would think about it. The next few weeks I was still

very unsure but for some reason I felt like I was

supposed to say yes. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I

was called to be on the Vestry and I decided to answer

this calling. I figured that if I were supposed to do this

then God would find a way to make it work.

On Vestry I’m the head of the Christian education

committee, which is fitting because I am extremely

passionate about education whether it is secular or

spiritual. As a Vestry member I attend a meeting once

a month where we go over the budget, committees, and

other church business. When I am not a Eucharistic

Minster or teaching Sunday school I sign up to be the

Vestry Person on Duty (VPOD). My Duties as a VPOD

include making coffee, unlocking the church, taking

count of the number of people at church, taking the

money received during offering to the bank, and locking

up the church. I was nervous before my first time being

VPOD but I found it to not be as difficult as I thought.

Being on Vestry has increased my confidence and I have

learned how to speak up. I enjoy learning more about

the church and the camaraderie I have found. The

advice I would give to anyone who is interested in

Vestry or feels a calling is to give it a chance. I have

really enjoyed my journey so far and I’m glad Misty

Martinell asked me to join the Vestry.

Paradise Point Sunday - February 12th It’s always the second Sunday in February and it’s always fun!

This year we especially look forward to celebrating our diocesan camp and hearing from all

the adults and children who attended in 2016.

If you have any Paradise Point gear (hats, T-shirts, etc.), be sure to wear it on February 12.

Also, look forward to a special “coffee hour” with camp treats and maybe a song or two.

MONTHLY OUTREACH

FOR FEBRUARY

- LEOGANE, HAITI -

By Buddy Hall

Leogane, Haiti was the epicenter of the earthquake

that caused so much destruction in 2010. Half of its

population was wiped out within minutes. With

humanitarian assistance, Haiti was determined to

build back better. Then in 2016, Hurricane Matthew

bore down on Haiti, destroying homes and killing over

one thousand people. This was a personal blow to

those of us who traveled to Haiti in 2015 and 2016,

because now we have built relationships there, people

who are not just Facebook friends, but real friends. In

July, 2017, six more of us will travel to Haiti and we

would like to take a monetary gift with us, designated

for a relief project that we identify during our trip.

In 2015, our Sunday School children raised $120 to

send with us to Haiti. At the end of the week, we were

told that one village we visited really wanted a

swimming pool for the children. That was a perfect

way to spend that money and the Sunday School

children gave full approval when I returned and told

them about it.

There will be envelopes in the Narthex throughout the

month of February. Make your check out to St.

Luke’s. You can also give them to me and I will make

sure they are deposited. Our team will take that

money with us, decide on a project when we get to

Haiti, and let you know about it when we return.

Questions? Call Buddy at 351-9376.

CSI REFUGEE PROGRAMS

(Twin Falls, ID) By Buddy Hall

Thank you from the CSI Refugee Center in Twin Falls

for the generous donation of clothing that I delivered

on January 11. Apparently, their need was made

known and they have had many, many donations.

They are still in need of kitchen supplies and baby

supplies (especially diapers), but they have enough

clothing for now. There is a box in the church office, if

you want to provide any kitchen or baby items.

MISSION HAITI 2017

By Buddy Hall

There are six members of the 2017 Haiti Mission

Team, all with connections to St. Luke’s. Buddy Hall

and Kris Smith are members here. Stacey Barrett and

Brock Albin are the children of longtime members,

Ann and Bud Albin. Anna and Kate Barrett are

Stacey’s daughters and grandchildren of the Albins. A

mission trip to Haiti is a huge undertaking! In

addition to raising money for room and board, there

are airline tickets to purchase, as well as passports and

multiple immunizations. Participants must take

malaria prevention pills and be prepared to

experience very hot and humid temperatures and

bird-like mosquitoes. The food is different and picky

eaters will struggle. And yet, the trip becomes one of

joy and little epiphanies (those “aha” moments). In

fact, I would venture to say that we go to serve, but

find that we are served. We go to “take Christ,” but

find he is already there. Our world view is changed

like a twist of a kaleidoscope.

Each of us has begun our shots and purchased our

airline tickets. We fundraise to pay for “room and

board” ($899/person). Our Texas Roadhouse

Fundraiser to “feed the Soup Kitchen” will take place

on Sunday, February 5. It’s not too late to purchase a

ticket for $12.

Our mission team will also take charge of The Shrove

Tuesday Pancake Supper on Tuesday, February 28.

And that’s not all! LEOGANE, HAITI will be

our monthly outreach for February! Stay

tuned for more about that.

SHROVE TUESDAY

PANCAKE SUPPER

FEBRUARY 28

Scott and Angie Lee go together like

Pancakes and Syrup! That’s why the

Mission Haiti Team has asked them

to help us, as we plan the

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper

on Tuesday, February 28

Here’s how it happens! Come alone

or bring your family! Bring a date.

Bring someone who would is looking

a date! And come hungry…it’s all

you can eat! We serve pancakes,

sausage, and hash browns.

Orange juice and coffee flow like a

river. There are mardi gras beads

and hats and music. Meet the

mission team!

Grab a horn and march with the

children at 7 p.m.

No tickets will be sold and no

reservations are necessary. All

donations, however, support our

Mission Haiti Team. Questions?

Call Buddy at 351-9376.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS

Year End Report By Suzanne Buchan

The Building and Grounds committee kept quite busy during 2016. Just

like caring for an aging home, maintaining an aging church facility takes

a lot of attention and commitment. Perhaps one of our biggest

accomplishments was adding an additional restroom to the parish hall

area. This now gives us two very accessible restrooms on the lower level

and the other accessible restroom on the main level. An assortment of

repairs, including replacing an old toilet in the men’s room, were also

completed to update the remaining facilities.

The issue of accessibility was also addressed in the worship area of the

church. Two pews were shortened to make room for either walkers or

wheelchairs. This has proven to be very useful and is used quite often.

Many of the regular pews had their kneelers repaired. A big project that

was addressed in the church was the upgrade of the lighting focusing on

the altar. This took a lot of planning and the work carried over into

2016. Hopefully with the change over to the new lights we won’t have to

address this issue for many years. No one looks forward to working on

tall ladders and scaffolding!

Many areas of the parish have been spruced up with new coats of paint.

We are trying to get the whole facility wearing the same color. This is a

big job but by doing the specific areas one at a time the “end is in sight”.

The exterior of the church has enjoyed some great work on our

flowerbeds and other planting areas. Several work parties helped to keep

up with the grooming needs. A design for upgrading the main planting

areas at the front of the church was submitted and will be addressed

further in the Spring.

Many thanks to all who work so diligently on this committee; Roland

Smith (our resident carpenter), Mark Farnes (who with Kim has been

doing the painting), Bill Koester, Carrie Mullin (our new gardening

expert), Keith Skilling (bringing expertise from commercial

contracting), and all of you who showed up to assist on all of the projects

that were accomplished.

SOUP KITCHEN 2016 Report

By Suzanne Buchan

A lot has happened in the operation of the Soup Kitchen

over the past year. Our new director, Kaaren Parsons,

deserves a lot of thanks for taking on this appointment .

Following in the footsteps of Dan and Marilyn Sanow is

no easy task.

Most of the behind the scenes accomplishments have

been the necessary upgrades and repairs that are

necessary to keep the facility running smoothly. The

Community Outreach Center maintains the main

facility, but the operational items of the Soup Kitchen

are our responsibility. As you can imagine, keeping a

kitchen supplied with the needed equipment and

appliances needed to cook for over 100 people a day is

an ongoing task.

We have been very fortunate that the food drives, fund

raising activities, and donations (both private and

business) have kept up with our growing need. We are

very proud to announce that in the year 2016 we served

53,922 meals. This could not have been accomplished

without the help of the whole community. We have

nearly 30 teams of cooks from churches, civic groups,

and businesses, that make sure a hot meal is prepared

and served every day.

Plans for 2017 including more involvement with Federal

Food programs that will keep our food costs down,

continued work with the local Food Basket (formally

Food Bank), and continually upgrading the actual Soup

Kitchen portion of the Outreach Center. We will also

continue to reach out through social media to keep

awareness in the community of our needs.

Many thanks to everyone who has helped by cooking,

serving and financially supporting this very important

outreach in our community.
