March 2019

Transfigured or disfigured? The Transfiguration of Jesus must have been like being at Bogus Basin on a very bright sunny day: Blindingly bright and glorious! The Gospel describes it this way: Peter, James and John were up on the mountain with Jesus, who was praying. Suddenly Jesus’ appearance changed and his clothes became dazzling white. Then Moses and Elijah appeared with him. This ‘glimpse of glory’ was in essence an experience in which the disciples got to see past the passion and crucifixion of Jesus. What they saw was a picture of Jesus as the glorified Lord of the Church. They saw the Jesus who forgives us; who gives us the power to be reconciled with our neighbor; the Jesus who feeds us with his very body and blood; and the Jesus who is present with us each weekend as we gather for worship. What Peter, James and John experienced was the transfigured, light-emanating presence of Christ. I’ve come to believe that the Transfiguration of Jesus confronts us with a choice: We can allow the light of Christ to shine through us, and out into our world, or we can remain as we are. I call this latter condition ‘disfigured’. This is where we insist on holding onto old stuff. A few years ago the New York Times ran a series on the Seven Deadly Sins. (You an access them in their entirety online.) Well-known author Mary Gordon wrote a piece about the deadly since of anger entitled ‘The fascination begins with the mouth.’ In her powerful article, Gordon describes a time when she was disfigured by her own anger: “I experienced this once myself, and I remember it because it frightened me. I became an animal. This sinful experience occurred -- as so many do -- around the occasion of a dinner party. It was a hot August afternoon. I was having 10 people for dinner that evening. No one was giving me a bit of help. I was, of course, feeling like a victim, as everyone does in a hot kitchen on an August day. (It is important to remember that the angry person's habit of self-justification is often connected to his habit of seeing himself as a victim.) I had been chopping, stirring, bending over a low flame, and all alone, alone! The oven's heat was my purgatory, my crucible. My mother and my children thought this was a good time for civil disobedience. They positioned themselves in the car and refused to move until I took them swimming. Now my children were at tender ages at that time, 7 and 4. My mother was 78 and, except for her daily habit of verbal iron-pumping, properly described as infirm. They leaned on the horn and shouted my name out the window, well within hearing of the neighbors, reminding me of my promise to take them to the pond. There are certain times when a popular cliché disgorges itself from the dulled setting of overuse and comes to life, and this was one of them. I lost it.” Gordon then goes onto say that the only possible cure for such irrational ‘deadly anger’ is something equally irrational: Forgiveness. With the holy season of Lent now fully upon us, we know that we’ll be hearing about sin, forgiveness, and repentance. However, we should never forget what these are all about: They are about newness of life. We need what Lent offers to us so we can experience the transformative, transfiguring light of God. God’s love will shine in and through us because we have the faith to ask God’s forgiveness and then work at reconciliation with ourselves and our neighbors. As the absolution from the Ash Wednesday Liturgy expresses, “…and that the rest of our life hereafter may be pure and holy, so that at the last we may come to his eternal joy.” Lent is also a time in which we are invited to do something differently. For example, think about attending a Bible study, or a class at Cathedral Night, or doing the Stations of the Cross, the Anglican Rosary, attending Morning Prayer, Centering Prayer, or a Lenten Retreat during Lent. Perhaps your Lenten observance might include a deeper commitment to personal prayer or attendance at worship. The point is to do something differently, so you get a different result. (See page 3 for the full schedule of activities at St. Michael’s during Lent.) May your journey of Lent be one in which you encounter the Light of Christ in a new, transforming way.

Communion Celebration Class Eating supper together is an opportunity for intimate sharing and fellowship. Just as dinner at home with your

family is important, sharing the meal of the Eucharist together at St. Michael’s is central to our worship experience. In our tradition, all baptized persons are welcome to receive communion, including children - who are essential to our church family. Beginning March 20, the Children’s Communion Celebration class will meet for six Wednesdays between 6:15 – 7:30 pm in the Atrium, on the lower level of the Cathedral. One parent is required to attend the beginning and end of each session with your child. Then on Sunday, May 5, the kids will assist Dean Rich in the Eucharist during the 9:15 service and enjoy

a special celebration reception afterwards. Children are instructed in understanding the worship service, the Eucharist, Liturgical Calendar and Colors, Prayers of the People, and Articles used during the Eucharist. There is no minimum age requirement, but children must be able to read.

Wednesdays, Mar 20, Mar 27, Apr 3, Apr 10, Apr 17, Apr 24: 6:15 – 7:30 pm

Communion Celebration Sunday, May 5, 9:15 Service For more information about Communion Celebration Classes or to register for the class, please call Gary Hicks, Director of Children’s Formation, at 208.342-5601, extension 214, or email children@stmichaelscathedral.org.

Fourth Grade Bibles & Children’s Sabbath It is a tradition at St. Michael’s to present all fourth graders with their very own bibles. This year we will do that during the 9:15 service on Sunday, April 7. That will also be our next Children’s Sabbath. There will be no Atrium or Sunday School that day; we will all meet in the nave for a special homily and to cheer on our fourth graders.

Easter Weekend

Save the dates! We will hold an Easter Egg Hunt on the lawn of the Carnegie building on Saturday, April 20, at 10 AM. The next day, April 21, is Easter Sunday, and the kids will

flower the Easter Cross in the Bishop Tuttle House during the 9:15 AM Sunday School hour.

Pilgrimage Auction Recap On February 10th, 120 St. Michael's parishioners and friends, along with our 13 Youth Pilgrims gathered at the Galaxy Event Center at Wahooz to celebrate our Panama Gala and Auction benefiting our June 2019 Pilgrimage to Panama. The Gala and Auction always provides a great opportunity for parishioners to get together and have a relaxed, fun evening. The event space was amazing, and our very talented "Pilgrimage Parent" and Auction co-chair, Stacy Burchfield, and her mother, Ellen Blackmon, enhanced the space with beautiful floral arrangements. Our talented parishioners and generous community were instrumental in providing silent and live auction items to help raise necessary funds. The silent auction items included beautiful handmade items, objects d'art, heirloom jewelry, spa items, an entire ski ensemble, and useful and fun experiential items. While there were several bidding tussles as the tables closed, a bidding war broke out over Henry Reents' woodworking lessons, and our trusty auctioneer, Paul, held a live auction on the spot. Henry generously offered a second set of lessons, and all parties walked away happy, to the benefit of our youth. After a wonderful dinner, the live auction provided its own entertainment. There were amazing live donations this year, including beautiful art, getaways to cabins, theme dinners, two stunning icons, and a gorgeous diamond necklace created by Deacon Rick Harvey. As usual, theme dinners provided by parishioners are a highlight of the evening, and this year, a Titanic murder mystery dinner, complete with a replica of the Titanic added a lively element. Delicious desserts were provided by Pilgrimage parents and friends, and the dessert auction brought the evening to a close. This Gala and Auction netted approximately $15,000 to help fund the Pilgrimage. On behalf of our Youth, and their parents, we would like to thank all the parishioners and friends who donated items, who offered dinners, cabins, and who attended and purchased items. Your support and care of the Youth of our Parish is greatly appreciated and noticed by the Youth. You are helping to make a difference in their spiritual journey. Our young Pilgrims are presently trying to raise the additional $8,000 they will need to pay for the trip. On Sunday, March 3, the Youth held a Bake Sale and raised approximately $1,100. In addition, they are raffling a beautiful quilt made by Ginger Wardhaugh. Raffle ticket sales started Sunday, March 3rd, and tickets will be available each Sunday until the raffle. If you missed seeing this quilt, come to coffee hour and take a peek. The Youth will hold an additional Bake Sale and another breakfast to continue raising funds. ~ Vicky Loegering, Gala Auction Co-Chair

BabySteps BabySteps was proud to be represented at the Meridian Stake Relief Society Humanitarian Fair on February 9th! Nine different non-profits were highlighted, and projects completed on site for each organization. BabySteps was sponsored by Abby Stimpson and her Ward, and together with a wonderful group of volunteers, they created art kits for our BabySteps kids. Each of 100 kits included crayons, markers, construction paper, scissors, glue stick, pencils, watercolors and a craft. What a wonderful Valentine surprise for our young friends!

St. Michael’s Cathedral was chosen to be the location for St Luke's Treasure Valley Community Board meeting on February 27th. The Board has elected to hold their meetings at different locations that the Board has funded in the past. We want to extend a huge thank you to Dr. Noreen Womack for promoting BabySteps and the ToolBox programs to be highlighted during the meeting! After a welcome from Dean Rich Demarest, a presentation by Pam Hoffbuhr on BabySteps, and information about Toolbox by Sally Suter, a tour of the BabySteps Boutique completed our portion of the meeting. What a great opportunity to inform our community of our mission of "Education, Support & Empowerment"! Thank You, St Luke's, for your support for the past 16 years!

EfM Prepares Members for LAY Ministry Many of you know that St. Michael’s sponsors an Education for Ministry (EfM) group that meets on Monday

evenings during the school year. We will have four new graduates in June, and after a summer break, we will

resume classes in September.

EfM is a program for lay people. Whether you teach Sunday school, sing in the choir, serve as a Eucharistic

Minister, serve on the Vestry or a committee, volunteer in the Cathedral office, or do anything else,

EfM can help you be more effective in your lay ministry. And, if you’re not actively involved in the life

of the Cathedral, but would like to be, EfM can help you identify your “M” and prepare you for that

ministry.

EfM is a four-year course of study that comes to us from the University of the South (Sewanee) School

of Theology through their extension program. The first year’s readings and discussion concentrate on the Hebrew

Scriptures; year two focuses on the Christian Testament; year three on church history; and year four on theological

issues. A participant commits to the program just one year at a time. The cost is $375 per year, and it includes

books and study materials. Some scholarship assistance is available.

In addition to the reading and discussion of lessons, students also find nourishment in theological reflections and

other common lessons - exercises that help them explore their faith within the context of scripture, literature, the

arts, current events and incidents from their daily lives. These thoughtful discussions can provide new insights into

both faith and life and help students learn to think theologically.

If you want to expand your spiritual life and grow in knowledge, faith and ministry, consider enrolling in EfM. For

more information about EfM, please contact Gary Hicks at 208.440.0424, gary@garyhicks.net, or go to the EfM

website, http://efm.sewanee.edu/

St. Michael’s Cathedral Finance Committee

Background: The Finance Committee was created to ensure that Vestry had an advisor for Church monetary

matters. Prior to its inception there were disparate accounting practices, various checkbooks and management practices for the different funds that were integral to Church missions. Today, there is one bank account that consolidates fund accounting and ensures integrity of operations. Holly Mason, our Business Manager, sits on the Finance Committee and is responsible for day to day operations. Other members are Dean Demarest, Jim Reed, Ron Gambassi, Ray Fortin (Treasurer) and Karl Klein (Sr. Warden).

Recent Committee Work: The group advised the Vestry in the Fall of 2018 to sell the Carnegie building. The Vestry subsequently voted to contract with Colliers International to sell or lease the building. Other areas we have been looking at are audit requirements, insurance costs, changes in pledge funding (we are seeing higher average pledges, but few members pledging), Diocesan contribution requirements (assessments) and strategic planning. Should the sale of Carnegie be finalized, the committee will prioritize items that could be funded if there is a cash surplus from the sale. A few areas already mentioned are: return of funds to donors, debt reduction for G.A.R. building, Cathedral repairs, upgrade of choir room.

Long Range Planning: long range planning has been done in many ways prior to 2019. Our goal is to look at all the mission areas that the Church supports and prioritize how best to maintain or grow them with our current and future financial resources. With Vestry permission, we will interview newer and long term members of the Church to develop priorities. For instance, some feel that the buildings we occupy need to look more inviting or require major work. Increased attention to younger families and care for youngsters during services (a theme Vestry promoted throughout 2018) is another key area.

Communication: Future Chimes articles will feature individual mission areas, report on progress in sale of the Carnegie building, and give updates on committee work. The members invite input from parishioners. Here is our contact information: Ray Fortin, Treasurer: rayfortin6@gmail.com Karl Klein: klein.karl1@yahoo.com Ron Gambassi: ron@gemstateadvisors.com Jim Reed: jbreed@gmail.com Holly Mason: accounting@stmichaelscathedral.org Dean Richard Demarest: dean@stmichaelscathedral.org

Update from the Wardens

On Saturday, February 2, Youth Ministry Director Bill Wallace advised the youth group parents and Vestry that he would leave effective February 15. Bill has encouraged and affirmed the lives and faith of many young people at St. Michaels, and this has been a difficult time of transition for the Junior and Senior High youth and parents. In departing, Bill raised some concerns about clergy’s role with the Carnegie building, and in managing parish personnel. The Vestry has engaged outside expertise to advise it on these matters. In the meantime, the Vestry has asked Bill to serve as a consultant to help provide closure for the youth group, and to prepare the Senior High students for their pilgrimage to Panama. Bill has agreed, and the details of the arrangement are being worked out. And next month, a search committee will form to look for a new Youth Ministry Director. Transition is difficult for everyone. But we have seen great leadership and passion from the youth, parents, Vestry members (four of whom started in January), clergy, and parish staff. We are confident St. Michael's community will be strengthened through their efforts. Karl Klein, Sr. Warden Amy Hoppock, Jr. Warden

St. Michael’s Jumble (Rummage) Sale - June 7, 8 ,9, 2019 The Episcopal Church Women (ECW) will sponsor the Jumble Sale June 7, 8, and 9, 2019. Proceeds from this event benefit the upkeep of the Cathedral, as well as repairs and replacement of items used by the church community (kitchen, Tuttle House, Fireside Room).

Many volunteers are needed for this fundraiser to be successful. We are asking for volunteers to help unpack and price items from June 3rd to June 6th. This year we will have a commercial moving company to pick up furniture and other large items and bring them to the Tuttle House. Your gently used goods, books, appliances, linens, dishes, tools, etc. are welcome donations. Please consider volunteering to help with the set-up of the sale, which will occur from June 3 through June 6 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

Very Important!! The ECW is in need of Storage Areas for goods and furniture that are donated in advance of

the Sale. If you have an empty garage, storage unit or other shelter that could be used to store items until June 3rd, we would appreciate being able to use that area to store items until the sale. In 2017, we had two garages that church members allowed us to use to store many items and furniture that helped us to earn much-needed funds for the church community. All donors will receive a “tax” receipt that can be used for a tax deduction on your 2019 taxes. If you can help, please contact either Maria Trebby (208) 342-7125 or Camille Meadows (208) 389-1050. We look forward to hearing from you.
