To love the Lord God above all,

to love our neighbors as ourselves

and to live out our Baptismal covenant

so that we build a community transformed by the love of

Jesus Christ.

From the Rector As I write this, the weather has been

glorious the last couple of days here in

Olympia. It’s starting to really look and feel

like spring. New life is everywhere you look,

and the weatherman says we may have a

run of days with no rain coming up—what

bliss!

May and June are going to be very full

months for St. John’s!

Our bishop, the Rt. Rev. Greg Rickel, will

make his visitation to St. John’s on

Pentecost, May 20. There will be baptisms

and confirmations, and Bishop Rickel will

preach at both morning services.

Opportunities for fellowship will follow both

morning services, making it a grand

morning, to be sure!

Then, on Saturday morning, June 16, our

Presiding Bishop, the Most Rev. Michael

Curry, will visit St. John’s with Bishop Rickel

as a part of his visitation to the Diocese of

Olympia. The day will feature a public

conversation between Bishop Rickel and

Bishop Curry, followed by a reception in our

Parish Hall.

Bishop Curry is a captivating speaker,

and this promises to be a highlight of the

year.

I’d also like to draw your attention to our

Outreach Partner for May, Chaplains on the

Harbor in Westport.

Chaplains on the Harbor is an outreach

ministry of the Diocese of Olympia working

with people who are living on the margins

in rural Grey’s Harbor County. They have

identified a need for sleeping bags to

Ma

y 2

018

distribute to people living outdoors this

spring, and we have set a goal to collect

at least 30. The bags don’t have to be new

(though they certainly can be), but clean

and gently used is greatly appreciated.

The Chaplains on the Harbor also need

a steady supply of new socks. We’d like to

collect at least 200 packages of socks to

distribute this month. We’ll report the

number of sleeping bags and packages of

socks we collect each week in This Week,

both online and in the bulletin. The next

time you go to Target or Costco, please

remember our sisters and brothers in Gray’s

Harbor County and buy a package of

socks for them.

Thank you for being a part of this

community of faith. Through your witness

and ministry, you’re helping to make the

Kingdom of God known on earth every

day.

Spring Luncheon

By Elaine Ross

On May 18, the Pastoral Care

Committee will host their annual spring

luncheon.

This year we have two speakers. Usrah

Claar-Peck will discuss Five Wishes. Tom

Ross from Mills and Mills Memorial Park will

present Your Life Your Legacy, a guide to

planning.

As always, we will have wonderful food,

good fellowship and a chance to catch

up with people you may not have seen for

a while. Save the date, May 18. Arrive

about 11:30 a.m. and lunch will be served

at 11:45 a.m. We hope you attend this

informative event.

Fiesta Latina

Fiesta Latina will be June 29 beginning at 5:30 p.m.

As always, there will be a great Latin American

dinner and silent and live auctions. Please let Father

Don know what you can do or give as an auction

item.

The Latin American members of the church do a

great job of making and serving dinner, but very few

of them are able to contribute items and services for

the auction. Your gifts in the past have raised a great

deal of money in this traditional Latin American form

of church support.

Please save June 29 for the event, and please

pledge your gifts for the auction now. This will make it

possible to prepare our auction catalogue in good

time.

Thank you for your support.

Busy Lent and Easter

Lent and Easter have been very busy times in the

Spanish speaking part of our congregation. A regular

Sunday School for our children has been a legacy of

the preparation for Baptism and First Communion held

at Easter.

In a service with 140 people on Easter, we

celebrated 2 Baptisms and 10 First Communions. Five

other children were baptized in April as well. Curt

Sather taught the children a song that 40 of them

sang on Easter night. We continue to attract young

families.

Enjoy the photos by Jan Aikin!

Exploring Faith Matters

By Usrah Claar-Peck

The Book of Common

Prayer tells us that “we

recognize the truths

taught by the Holy Spirit

when they are in accord

with the Scriptures” (p.

853). But how do we discern this when the Scriptures

aren’t even in accord with each other?

We have Proverbs telling us what to do to be good

people, to be wise and moral and in good graces

with Yahweh. This is followed by Job and Ecclesiastes,

basically saying it isn’t all that easy, and bad things do

happen to good people. The story of David is one of a

great leader in the formation of the Hebrew people,

but how do we reconcile this with David’s

slaughtering of whole towns, and his multiple wives

and concubines?

Come join us in year one of EFM (Education for

Ministry or Exploring Faith Matters). In a small group

setting with a trained mentor as guide, we will study

the Hebrew Bible, as well as read some additional

texts to broaden our understanding of our faith.

Education for Ministry is a four-year program from

the University of the South, designed for lay people. In

EFM, we study the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament,

church history, and moral and ethical aspects of living

our faith. Textbooks and reading guides are included

in the tuition ($375) for 36 weeks of study.

Currently the group meets Thursdays from 6-8:30

p.m. We meet from Labor Day to Memorial Day with

time off over Christmas and New Year's. Please

contact Usrah Claar-Peck (360-570-2211) for more

information.

Men’s Group

By Bill Unbehaun

Men's Group is beginning two books at the same

time. We will be discussing Play It Where the Monkey

Drops It by Gregory Jones and Mystical Hope by

Cynthia Bourgeault, looking for points of intersection

between suffering and hope.

Men interested are welcome to join us at 8:30 a.m.

on Saturdays.

Women’s Spirituality Group

By Vickie MacMillan

St. John’s Women’s

Spirituality Group invites you to

join us for our May 5 lecture

program, Jonah, by Phillis

Trible.

Jonah is a book that defies

categorization. Scholars have

debated its genre and

purpose for centuries. Trible

explores the ways in which the

three Abrahamic religions

have adopted and utilized the

text of Jonah. The video lecture will be followed by

group activities and discussion.

Our studies this year are structured around the

video lecture series, Chasing Canonical Characters.

We watch ancient texts come to life as we learn

about the colorful personalities within the Biblical

narrative.

Our video guide, biblical scholar, Phyllis Trible, uses

literary, rhetorical and feminist methods to weave a

vibrant tapestry, illuminating the tales of the Hebrew

Bible and their unforgettable characters.

St. John’s Women’s Spirituality Group meets the first

Saturday of each month. Our next meeting is May 5,

from 10 a.m. – noon. We’ll be in the Guild Room.

Please come, and bring a friend. Each lecture stands

alone. You are always welcome!

Camp Michael 2018

By Denise Hammer

Plans are underway for Camp Michael 2018. Our

One Another. We will have daily focus group sessions

on elements of this theme.

Counselor and volunteer applications are

open now at www.campmichael.org for any past

location change from past years at Pacific Beach). If

you cannot attend training but want to help at Camp

Michael, you can sign up to be a volunteer!

We are looking for the following types of volunteers:

• Kitchen staff with a food handler's permit to help

with meals

• Medical staff who can dispense medication,

practice basic first aid and stay overnight

• Crafters who can spend an afternoon teaching a

planned craft or art project

• Certified lifeguards to keep the waterfront safe

• Helpers for registration and check-out

• Archery instructors who can supervise archery

• Photographers to teach campers and document

and capture the week's fun

• Musicians to lead and play music for worship and

campfire

• Fundraisers who can coordinate projects that

provide funds to sponsor campers

Camper and counselor-in-training registrations will

open online in late April. We will be sending out

postcard reminders in May. Camp is scheduled

for July 24-28, also at Gwinwood Christian Conference

Center.

Visit the Camp Michael website at

Junior High/Middle School Youth Conference (JYC)

Come join some Faith-based fun! Young people in

grades 6-9 are invited to join us as we navigate

the turning-into-teenager years.

With lots of community-building games and

activities, this is the place to find friends who will be

with you through it all. Youth come together from all

over Western Washington to share in music, worship,

faith formation and fun.

Weekend events start on Friday evening and end

midday on Sunday. Themes and activities for retreats

are selected and planned by the youth council.

Upcoming Retreat: May 4-6, 2018

Spring JYC at St. Andrew’s in Port Angeles. $35

A long time ago in a country far, far away… a

baby was born who would change the world. Despite

never wielding a light-saber, Jesus lived a life full of

adventure, mystery, drama, and courage that could

rival any movie. And the force that helped lead him,

the Holy Spirit, is still with us today.

What better way to spend May 4 than at a Star

Wars themed Spring Junior High Youth Retreat (JYC)?

Join other youth from across Western Washington

as we explore the parallels between the narratives in

Star Wars and the Bible and think about how The Holy

Spirit can guide us through our own stories. Make new

friends and reconnect with old ones while

participating in faith formation, music, worship,

games, and workshops.

Register now to join the adventure, and may the

Force be with you!

Around the Parish

Bees’ Buzz

By Jenny Louden

Bees met on April 10 and discussed plans for

donations for the June Jumble and for the June

Luncheon.

Concerning donations, Lucy will attend a program

about Clearblossom, an overnight shelter in our

community, on the 22nd of this month, and share the

information she gets with Michael Mary and Jenny

before they do further checking on the sponsoring

organization. The group voted to send $1,000 to the

YWCA’s STEAM program. Sharon will send a check to

the “Y” before our next meeting.

Members volunteered to help “man” the checkout

tables at the Jumble, and to bring salads or other fine

edibles to the group’s lunch on June 12.

The next Bees’ meeting will be on May 8 at 1 p.m. in

the Guild Room Annex.

Coffee Hour is Reorganized!

By Carolyn Maddux

St. John's reorganized procedure for hosting CHAT

(Coffee Hour After Ten-thirty) is working well. Eleven

team leaders have teams of people who primarily (or

occasionally) attend the 10:30 service. Each team

leader has signed up for three or four Sundays through

2018.

If you haven't yet heard from a team leader, it's

probably because you're new, the church office

doesn't have your correct e-mail address, or a mes-

sage to you went astray somehow. Of course you

don't want to miss out on the fun of hosting with a few

other parishioners. If you aren't assigned to a team,

you can contact Carolyn Maddux at cmad-

dux@hcc.net, or phone her at 360 426-2268 (that's a

local call from the Olympia area), and she'll find you a

team whose timing works for you.

Fr. RC has asked us to simplify the food offered, so

the main tasks are to obtain and set out some fruit (or

veggies), a plate of cookies or cheese/crackers, or

some other simple finger-food snacks and, of course,

some juice for kids. (As always, the Vestry will make the

coffee.)

The parish furnishes the compostable paper plates

or snack containers, napkins, and cups. Then, after

CHAT is over, the team cleans up -- a simple task.

Team leaders in the upcoming weeks are as fol-

lows:

May 6 ~ Mark Teply Team 1

May 13 ~ Lin Hampton Team 1 (Bob Burrell 100th

and Mother’s Day)

May 27 ~ Ron Leo Team 1

June 3 ~ Caitlin Bird Team 1

June 10 ~ Meg Jones Team 1

June 17 ~ Ann Hutcheson Team 2

June 24 ~ Mary Ann Mahurin Team 1

July 1 ~ Meg Jones Team 2

Note that May 20 is Pentecost, and a special re-

ception will follow the Bishop's visitation at the 10:30

service. That's a time when anyone able to help is

asked to do so. Watch the This Week publication for

details.

books any time! We have room to stack them in the

library office and are looking forward to your kind

donations! Leave the books in the adult library at the

immediate right of the door as you are entering!

“A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition.

Like money, books must be kept in constant

circulation... A book is not only a friend, it makes

friends for you. When you have possessed a book with

mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it

on you are enriched threefold.” ― Henry Miller, The

Books in My Life

Updates to Parish Membership Roster

By Mary Conley Law, Vestry Clerk

We are in the process of updating the church

database through Church Windows. You will be

seeing requests for you to update information. We will

provide opportunities for you to update your own

information online or you can submit a form that we

use to update the database.

We will be updating Family Name, Family Address

,Family Phone Number, Family email address,

Individuals in household, Name (for each member of

the family), email address, cell phone (optional) date

of birth, date of baptism, date of confirmation, gender

and date of marriage.

This information will be used for preparation of

reports to the diocese (aggregate information) and

for our mailing and contact lists.

We appreciate your willingness to help as we find

better ways to communicate within our parish.

Events Committee Chair Position

By Laura Tayne and Karen Sanchez

In 2016, Karen Sanchez and I

agreed to chair the Events

Committee for 2017. We have

stayed on to see us through Easter

but are now stepping down as co-

chairs of the committee. We

intend to stay on as participants in

the various events held

throughout the year and will

provide initial guidance and

materials to our replacement(s).

Upcoming Music Events

Two special music events are happening at St.

John’s in June:

• Jazz Dinner: Friday June 8, 7 p.m. - $30 per person

for a full meal and an evening of Jazz by the

David Deacon-Joyner Trio.

• LaVon Hardison (recent recipient of the Seattle

Earshot Jazz Vocalist of the Year award) returns to

St. John's for a Gospel Brunch, Sunday June 24,

9:15 a.m.

Cuatro de Mayo Potluck

Cinco de Mayo will be celebrated at St. John’s on

Cuatro de Mayo. If you would like to help out, please

bring a Hispanic-themed side or main-dish. As always

coffee and wine will be provided. The celebration

starts at 6:30 p.m., Friday May 4.

If you have any questions, please contact the

Parish Administrator or Chuck Moore.

Library Ministry

By Janice Jackson

Come into the library and see the wonderful wall

display from our Artist of the Quarter, Father Don

Maddux. The display of monumental brass

reproductions is stunning.

Our Audit of books continues. We are over halfway

complete. If you have suggestions for any books you

would like to see in the library, please write the name

and author on a sheet of paper and put it in the return

box. We have several new books being processed to

place on shelves. Watch for them on the cart in the

Parish Hall soon.

The PNACL group (Pacific Northwest Association of

Church Libraries) had our own Dr. Curt Sather as the

speaker of the month. He presented a session on

Lectio Divina, (Sacred Reading), and led us through a

study of an Old German hymn by George Neumark.

He gave us a bibliography of books that can be used

to focus our devotional life on music and provided a

“Reading list for Beginners in the Christian Mystical

Tradition.” Curt is a great speaker.

Even though we might not have a June Jumble, we

would like donations of books so we can have a book

sale at a later date. We would like people to donate

Page 8 The Chronicle May 2018

Ask yourself if you would be willing to take on this

ministry. You would be working with a great group of

people who enjoy cooking, decorating and

entertaining.

Alternatively, individual events could be chaired by

volunteers. The list of events that we sponsor each

year include:

• Easter Vigil Buffet

• June Jumble

• English Tea (in co-operation with Daughters of the

British Empire)

• Sundae Sunday

• Root Beer Floats

• Christmas Faire

• Bishop receptions and other receptions as needed

We have enjoyed serving you and St. John's!

The Bookworm’s Nook

By Jenny Louden

Alexander McCall Smith has

written several series of books, and

my favorite is The No. 1 Ladies’

Detective Agency stories.

I recently read The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon.

While there are many philosophic ramblings in each of

the eight or nine of these novels that I’ve read, I

believe this one (Minor Adjustment…) is one of my

very favorites. Published in 2012, it comes late in the

series of events begun by the first (No. 1, of course!).

But, frankly, it isn’t the story itself, or the mystery and its

solution, that so charms me. The reason I would urge

any or all of you to read this book is that the people

are so totally believable and (most of them, anyhow)

so lovable. The fact that this story had me laughing

aloud as I read it—many times in every chapter—is

certainly another reason.

Finally, I believe Smith’s protagonist, Mma

Ramotswe, to be an incredibly wise person and I’ve

been blessed to listen to her realistic but utterly sage

thoughts and opinions about all sorts of things.

Beyond the Walls

Our New Student, Alondra, at El Hogar

By Sue Michie

We now have a

second student to

support at El Hogar,

the School of Love

and Hope! Her name

is Alondra Nahomy

Ferrufino Ortiz and

she entered El Hogar

as a First Grader in

July of 2017 (about

halfway through the

school year).

Alondra and her sister Amy, who is also at El Hogar,

are from Comayagua, which is northwest of the

Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa. She does not know

her father and has lived on the streets with her mother,

stepfather and siblings.

Alondra is happy to be at El Hogar with her sister.

Both girls are working hard in school and seem to be

making progress in their education. Her birthdate is

“unavailable,” which means she may not know the

actual date. We therefore are unsure of her actual

age. Hopefully we will learn more about her as the

year progresses. You can see by her photo that she is

a cute little girl.

We continue to support our other student, Arnol,

who is now a fourth grader at El Hogar. He is doing

well and is a happy, healthy student. We sent our

check for $4,200 to El Hogar in February to support

both students for the 2018 school year. We are

collecting money every Second Sunday of the month

in order to support them for the 2019 school year.

May 2018 The Chronicle Page 9

We are blessed to be able to help these Honduran

students to receive an education as well as the love

and care provided by the El Hogar staff.

Thank you for your continued support of our

students at El Hogar. The next Second Sundays are on

May 13 and June 10. Your loose change, and any

dollars and/or checks, which are placed into the

colorful offering plates on those Sundays, go to

support Arnol and Alondra.

Please continue to keep Arnol and Alondra, the

other students, and the staff at El Hogar in your

prayers.

Outreach Focus for May

The Outreach Focus for May is Chaplains on the

Harbor, a ministry by and for people on the margins in

Grey’s Harbor County.

Chaplains on the Harbor is based in Westport. They

have asked St. John’s if we can collect at least 30

sleeping bags and as many packages of socks as

possible to distribute to folks who are living outside in

Grey’s Harbor County.

Texas 4000 at St. John’s on July 15, 2018!

For the 15th consecutive year, St. John’s will

welcome Texas 4000 riders with a potluck and

overnight stays in hosts’ homes on Sunday, July 15.

Texas 4000, a non-profit organized by students at

the University of Texas at Austin, fights cancer by

raising money to support research, education and

awareness.

We expect 25 riders to overnight in Olympia on Day

44 of their 70-day, 4,000-mile journey from Austin, Texas

to Anchorage, Alaska.

We’ll provide lights snacks and beverages to the

riders on their arrival at church between 3:30-4:30 p.m.

on July 15. At 5 p.m., hosts and riders will sit down to a

simple potluck meal in the Parish Hall, followed by a

15-minute “Why I Ride” program by the riders. This is

earlier than in previous years due to the 6 p.m.

Spanish-language service.

After the program, hosts and riders can leave, or

they may choose to attend the service together.

Each host is expected to provide:

• One dish for the July 15 potluck

• Sleeping accommodations for at least two riders

(beds preferred, sofas OK)

• Shower and laundry facilities

• Breakfast and morning transportation back to

church on Monday, July 16

A host sign-up sheet will be posted in the Parish Hall

in early June. If you have questions about hosting,

please contact Lou MacMillan at 360-485-7128 or

lou.d.macmillan@gmail.com. For more information

about Texas 4000, go to www.texas4000.org.

Cambodian New Year Report

By Tithia Sum

This week many Cambodian families overseas and

inside Cambodia will celebrate the traditional Khmer

New Year with a remorseful and broken heart, for the

season is full of fearful speculations about the country's

next general election in July.

Monarch Children's Justice & Advocacy breakfast was

attended by Vickie, Cara, and Lou MacMillan, Bob

Lolcama, Janet Cherry, Mark Teply and Terri Lolcama

from St. John's. We were inspired by the team effort to

bring about healing to many children who have

suffered from abuse and neglect. Monarch is a place

where hurt ends and healing begins.

The ruling party is using its power to eliminate the

opposition before the election. For example, the

opposition CNRP party president was accused of

treason and jailed on September 3 without a trial

date. Based on that fabricated accusation, the whole

structure of the opposition party was dissolved. The

recently elected CNRP candidates were stripped of

their party affiliation and their votes distributed to

other minority parties. The government thus has

assured its victory.

Early in March of 2018, forty-five countries (including

the U.S.A., Canada, France, England and most

European countries) sent a stern warning to the

Cambodian government that they will not recognize

the results if the election is held without the CNRP

party's participation. However, Mr. Hun Sen, the ruling

party president, brazenly defied the warning and

publicly declared that the election will happen as

scheduled--without the CNRP party.

Japan was the last hope for Cambodian people to

broker a deal with Hun Sen government. Twenty-seven

years ago Japan played a significant role in brokering

the Paris Peace Agreement (PPA) of 1991 for

Cambodia. But news of this meeting is disappointing.

The Japan Foreign Minister merely expressed his

concern and desire for a free and fair election that

reflects the Cambodian people's will. Most

Cambodians are aware this will not happen.

Since I came back from Cambodia in December, I

have been heavily involved with helping the CNRP

party obtain international help to restore democracy

in Cambodia. As such, I am required to have

extensive meetings and phone conferences with

colleagues around the country until we find a possible

solution for our people.

With God’s grace and the New Year spirit, the year

of Dog, I pray that Khmer people who are yearning for

long-lasting peace and freedom will find a genuine

solution that all parties can work together for the sake

of Khmer nation. Please pray for us.

Adopt a Cambodian Family News

By Tithia Sum

The Adopt a Cambodian Family continues its

mission of support for the destitute families and

children in Cambodia. I have many pictures that I

have yet to compile of needy families with the food

supplies that I delivered in October and November

2017. We have also delivered live chickens in "seed

grants" for a few families who are able to begin small

businesses selling eggs. Please contribute as you are

able!

I am so sorry that we must skip our New Year dinner

celebration this year. Instead, I have planned to travel

to California to join a historical convention, sponsored

by the CNRP party, the second week of May.
