Tuesday Tidings July 23, 2019 The Transition and Search Team has completed the Parish interviews. We are collating the data and using it to write the parish profile. This is the document that potential new priests will read to learn about St. Luke's. If you have any questions about the Transition & Search process, please contact Misty Martinell, team chair, at 208-569-7691 or [email protected]. This is an exciting time for St. Luke's! The Transition Search Team invites your participation in our journey through transition by joining us in the following prayer for the duration of our search: A Prayer through Transition Dear God, St. Luke's is a garden of Your Word. As we transition through our seasons, help us prepare fertile ground through honesty and prayer. Plant in our hearts seeds of Your Grace, that we may nurture one another, and blossom in Your Spirit. Strengthen our trust in your goodness, that we may generously share your blessings. And when the time is right, send us Your servant to complete our search, that together, in Your garden, we may sow the Good News of Salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, now and Forever. AMEN Save the date! Women’s Retreat, October 4-6, Tetonia, ID. Look for more information as planning progresses. July Outreach: FISH – School Backpacks July's outreach is FISH. Fish stands for “Friends in Service Here” and was started by a group of downtown Christian ministers who saw the need for a central group that could give aid to a stranger. FISH has now grown into an organization that provides help to those who cannot get it elsewhere for rent, food, gas, etc. The extraordinary volunteers also offer backpacks full of school supplies for students plus week-end packs for those students in food insecure situations. They also supply hygiene kits for all ages. Our community would be a much less hospitable place without FISH, and your donation goes a long way with their leadership. Questions? Contact Bev Kemp or Cher Stone. Please remember to make your Outreach checks out to St. Luke’s and write “July Outreach” or “FISH” on the memo line.

AMEN Transition & Search Team Update by Misty Martinell Thank you to all who attended the Parish History Taking on June 11th. It was such a fun event! Canon Lucinda Ashby led us in creating an interactive timeline of St. Luke's history. We each added the date we joined St. Luke's to the timeline, and Canon Lucinda added special events in the life of our Parish as these stories were told by members of our Parish. It was an eye-opening discussion. The timeline is hanging in the Parish Hall and you are all invited to add the date you joined if you haven't done so already. At the end of this exercise, we each shared five words that describe St. Luke's to us. Our Team has created a Wordle* with these descriptive words. The larger the word, the more times it was mentioned by members of the Parish. As you can see, it was quite an enlightening activity where we all learned a lot about each other and our Parish. The Transition & Search Team wants to thank each of you who have taken part in a Parish interview. We are wrapping these up currently, and will soon go through the interviews as a Team looking for trends. We will use the trend data we gather when we write the parish profile. This profile will be made public, and will provide potential priests with a lot of information about our Parish. We want you to know that although this is a long process, we are right on track. We don't foresee any difficulties or delays in the process. We appreciate your patience and support during this exciting and important time for St. Luke's. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Misty Martinell, Team Chair, at 208-569-7691 or [email protected]. *Wordle is in the July-August LINK newsletter.

AMEN Dear St. Luke's, I can't believe that my six months as your Interim Priest has come to an end already. The Transition Search Team (TST) and I have been hard at work since January, and I am really pleased with our progress. I know that it feels much longer for all of you as Pastor Susan was away from the congregation for much longer, but our process couldn't start until after her official retirement in December. I will continue to work with the TST until the process is complete and you have a new priest. This means I will still be traveling to St. Luke's once or twice a month. The TST and I hope to schedule our meetings on Sundays so that I can serve as the supply priest occasionally. As July has gotten closer, here are some FAQ's that I have been getting: Who do I contact if I need pastoral care? When St. Luke's is in a time without a permanent priest or an interim priest our Senior Warden Nick Burrows is the emergency pastoral care contact. He has a plan in place for who to contact if a priest is needed. How many Sundays a month will we have Eucharist (or Morning Prayer)? There is no set answer for this one. The Worship Committee is responsible for scheduling priest or worship leaders for any given Sunday. What happens to our search process now that Canon Lucinda is Bishop-Elect of the Diocese of El Camino Real in California? Nothing will change with St. Luke's search process. Rev. Lauren will continue to serve as our transition consultant. The TST and I are continuing to work diligently to find the right priest for St. Luke's. The Vestry is committed to the daily work of St. Luke's. You are all in good hands. Peace, Lauren+ Summer Food Service Program: New Day Lutheran has a lunch program for children Monday through Friday at Kate Curley Park, 11:30-1pm.

He will find a priest, Eucharistic Minister, or lay person to assist.

We believe this will be the best spot so that all can hear the announcements without disturbing the solemnity of our worship. Baptisms: St. Luke's will be celebrating baptisms on Sunday, June 16.

Lauren, Interim Priest Please Be Aware of Recent "Phishing" Emails It has come to our attention that people in the parish have received "phony" emails from Rev. Lauren.

Rev. Lauren only emails from [email protected], if any other email address is listed it is someone pretending to be her. This has been a recent trend with many Episcopal clergy across the country.

Lauren is not present and if both are absent, the Jr. Warden has the gavel. The Jr. Warden is usually in charge of the building and grounds. In our Parish, the congregation chose Nick Burrows as Sr. Warden and then the Vestry voted in Mark Farnes as Jr. Warden. Both are doing an excellent job.
