both with each other and

with the wider community.

A recap of the vestry meeting held

April 16 via Zoom:

Stewardship: Ben Bruno shared

some great news! Pledges are up

and we now have 63 people

pledging over $201K/year. This is

an increase from the past two

years and we are getting closer to

our budget needs. Thank you so

much for your support and gener-

osity

Senior Warden report: Don Morris

and other Senior Wardens in

churches without permanent rec-

tors have been meeting with

Bishop Susan Haynes on a weekly

basis. Don provided a synopsis of

some of what they discussed. The

Bishop said she will reopen

churches based on what scientists

and medical professionals advise,

rather than politicians. She also

has assured Don that she will

come to St. Luke’s to worship with

us when that happens and will

make that a priority on her sched-

ule.

Engagement and Communica-

tions: Maureen Benway reported

that Anne Larrick has been spear-

heading a working group that is

working on an update to our web-

site. That group plans to apply for

a grant (of up to $1,000) from the

Diocese to help cover the cost of

hiring a web developer. A website

designer has been identified who

will help us for a very reasonable

price. Special thanks to Dolores

Gennari who has done a fantastic

job updating our existing website.

If you haven't visited it lately,

please go to stlukespowhatan.org

to take a look.

Junior Warden: Adam Wojcicki

reported that there are no current

maintenance issues, and that we

will be changing the lockbox

code on a regular basis for in-

creased security as part of our

Safe Church program.

The vestry also discussed updat-

ing our vision and mission state-

ments. The consensus was that

with all the changes we have

been and are going through, that

the current statements may no

Vestry News Maureen Moslow-Benway

longer be representative of the

message St. Luke's wishes to

convey. Once we're all back to-

gether, we will revisit this.

Our next vestry meeting will be

held on Thursday, May 21st--

hopefully face-to-face. All are

welcome to attend.

Stay safe, stay well, and stay con-

nected.

have not recently looked at the Direc-

tory online in Realm, take a minute to

do so and enjoy seeing all the smiling

faces of the friends we are unable to

be with in person right now. If you are

one of the forty four members who still

have not submitted a photo, please

take a selfie and email it to:

[email protected].

Another communication project going

on right now is an update to our web-

site. St. Luke’s is the recipient of a

grant from the Diocese in the amount

of $600 to hire a developer to assist us

with streamlining our site and giving it

a new look. We will also be adding

mobile capability and hope to have the

ability to livestream services when

they resume. The group working on

this project includes Maureen Ben-

way, Dolores Gennari, Don Morris,

Carroll Barr, Blakeley Reynolds,

Gayle Kelly, Rick Cole, and Anne

Larrick. We are seeking photos of

activities at St. Luke’s taken in the

past twelve months for possible inclu-

sion on the website. If you have pho-

tos to share, email them to:

[email protected].

Come pray with us. Members of St. Luke's will be hosting Compline each

weekday night online at 8:00 P.M via Zoom. To better participate in the ser-

vice, have your prayer book (page 127) . You can also find the Book of Com-

mon Prayer online at https://www.bcponline.org/DailyOffice/compline.html

Food for Thought

The excerpts below are from online sermons or meditations that Kathy and Laura have shared with us over the past several weeks.

It’s Easter.

But it doesn’t look like it

It doesn’t feel like it.

It doesn’t even smell like it.

But it’s Easter anyway!

Think for a moment.

That first Easter. It was Easter, but nobody knew it.

The Bible says, early in the morning, Mary Magdalen got up and went to the tomb while it was still dark. It was dark and she wasn’t exactly sure how to get there, but she went anyway. She didn’t know for sure that the rumors about soldiers, having been posted to guard the tomb to prevent anyone from doing anything, she didn’t know if that was true. She knew that there was a stone rolled in front of the entrance of the tomb. She got up and went anyway.

And so Mary and those women got up in the dark, not knowing for sure what was going on, just doing what love does. Love can’t change the fact of death, but love can live through it and thereby defeat death. And so they got up and went to the tomb just to do

what love does.

Easter had happened anyway, and maybe that is the way of God, that somehow behind the scenes, in ways that we may not fully behold at the time, God is there. And not just there, but somehow working in the midst, even of the mess.

From Bishop Michael Curry’s Easter Sermon April 12, 2020 (Full text here)

With Jesus at our center, let

us NOT be what we were

As Winston Churchill was working to form the United Nations after WWII, he famously said, “Never let a good crisis go to waste”. From something bad came something good. The worldwide pandemic which has caused churches to close to public worship is indeed a crisis. And one that presents the church with oppor-tunities.

I have seen several webinars and articles about "restarting" our churches after the crisis. But I have not seen a good, sound conversation about NOT restarting our churches. Rather, let us relaunch our congrega-tions. Let us be nimble church plants in gorgeous 150-year old buildings. Let us dream a new church into be-ing, one that is not modeled on the way church was. Rather, on what it could be.

What if church services were held on other days than Sundays and thus allow more flexibility for families whose weekends are over-scheduled?

…. What if, now that we know we can do it, we used live streaming and

other digital tools to reach a larger audience, that can become a new way of congregating?

And what if, as we come back, we don't reflexively re-start everything we had been doing but first checked

to make sure that everything we do moving forward is part of our mis-sion? …. The bottom line is this: let us not let the opportunity created by this crisis go to waste. Let us take it and run with it.

I'll finish with this (think of it as an iron-clad guarantee): as we dream a new church into being, even falling along the way, as long as we are prayerful, open, loving, discerning, and always looking for Jesus in what we do, we'll be fine.

Food for Thought Continued from preceding page

From TRY TANK April 2020

What I do not pray for is for things

to go “back to normal.” I say this be-cause I believe we are being called into new ways of being. We have learned that we are intricately con-nected and that we really depend on one another. We have come to appre-ciate the true value of servant leaders. We have seen the relative useless-ness of status, celebrity, and material obsession. Our values and priorities are being right sized and clarified like never before.

I do not believe that a pandemic is God’s will, nor do I believe God is do-ing all of this to get a point across. Suffering is part of life, and God gives us the gift of redemptive love as light

in any present darkness. While there are many unanswerable questions, there is the saving proclamation that

Christ is risen and alive for all eter-nity. That tells us that God is for us, and God is with us.

From This Week @ Emmanuel ,The Rev. John Taliaferro Thomas, Rector of Emmanuel Episcopal in Green-wood, Virginia.

O Lord, our hearts break and we offer our unceasing

prayers for those who battle the corona virus, for the fami-

lies of those who have lost the fight, and for those who are

facing unemployment or had their incomes significantly re-

duced. We give thanks for and ask for your protection upon

all health care workers, care givers for the elderly and the

sick, first responders, grocery store staffs and suppliers, and

for all who put themselves at risk for the benefit of others.

And we ask for your guidance and blessings upon each of us

as we face our fears and the uncertainties of days ahead.

Grant us strength, grant us courage, grant us wisdom, grant

us compassion, and grant us peace, through Jesus Christ,

our Lord. Amen

The churches are empty - but so is

the tomb,

And Jesus is victor over death, doom, and gloom.

So this year at Easter, let this be our prayer,

As the virus still rages all around, everywhere.

May the world see hope when it looks at God's people.

May the world see the church is not a building or steeple.

May the world find Faith in Jesus' death and resurrection,

May the world find Joy in a time of dejection.

May 2020 be known as the year of survival,

But not only that - Let it start a revival

Many of our high school and college students are currently home with some time on their hands and no way of getting a job. Some of us have outdoor chores we could pay them to do, such as mowing, mulch-ing, setting out bedding plants, wash-ing cars, outdoor painting - a wide variety of things that would not in-volve direct contact with people. Suggested payment is $10.00 per hour minimum, more depending on the difficulty of the job. If you would

The St. Luke’s Prescription Page 9

In spite of the Coronavirus, members

of St. Luke’s are helping their

neighbors in our community. Five of

us are continuing to provide dinner

five days a week for one of our Sen-

ior Lunch friends who is 88 years old

and lives alone. Unfortunately, we

can no longer visit with our friend

when we deliver his meals, but we

keep in touch via phone calls. We

are making phone calls weekly to all

of those who usually have attended

our monthly luncheons to check on

them and to see if they need our as-

sistance. Two of those friends have

suffered with the virus, but thanks be

to God, are now recovering.

Lisa and Tim Benusa, owners of The

Mill at Fine Creek, decided early on

that since they could not use sup-

plies ordered in advance for planned

weddings to be held at The Mill, they

would distribute what they could to

neighbors in need. Seventy-six peo-

ple are receiving a grocery bag

weekly filled with toilet paper, paper

towels, sugar, flour, butter, eggs,

fresh fruit and/or vegetables, home-

made cookies and muffins, rolls, and

at least one delicious entrée made at

The Mill by Lisa and members of her

family. Some of the items in the

bags have been made by and/or do-

nated by members of St. Luke’s. Six

ladies from our church have been

delivering the bags to some of our

Senior Lunch friends, and the others

are going to clients of the Free Clinic

of Powhatan. If you would like to

help with this project, please call

Connie Harriss at 794-5642.

As always, John and Susan Joseph

and Gwen Boykin are collecting non-

perishable food items from the rear of

the Parish Hall to be delivered to

Backpacks of Love and to the

Powhatan Coalition of Churches’

Food Pantry. Several checks have

been received from parishioners to

help cover the shortfall in these times

of increased need. If you would like

to make a monetary contribution,

please contact John or Gwen. In the

meantime, please continue to help by

dropping off needed food, paper

products, and dog/cat food for pickup

at the rear of the Parish Hall. St.

Luke’s has delivered a check for

$500 to each of the charitable organi-

zations from our Outreach Funds.

Outreach Continues to Respond Connie Harriss

Many of our talented parishioners are

making and distributing face masks to

our friends and neighbors.

Ongoing outreach occurs behind the

scenes every month as Laurel

Harrelson sends birthday cards to all

62 of our Senior Lunch friends through-

out the year as well as get well cards.

Laurel also sends cards to our parish-

ioners and other friends of St. Luke’s

upon request. Give her a call if you

would like to help with postage, etc.

Thank you to all who are helping make

the pandemic less stressful for others.

Thank you to those of you who are

helping in so many ways and exposing

yourselves to the virus in order to do

so.

As Thom Estes puts it, “We are Chris-

tian Soldiers”.

Backpacks of Love This week St Luke’s Church members donated 48 food items to Backpacks of Love! Our total for the year is 2867 items, plus a $100 do-nation. Thank you so much! This will greatly help hungry school children now at home and likely without the

meals they would normally receive at school Even though the church is closed, each day we are picking up food items left at the back of the parish hall by 4 pm. Food donations may also be made at the Backpacks of Love Pantry located at 3035 Lower Hill Road in Powhatan, and Herff Jones at 2020 New Dorset Road (Tues.- Fri., 9 - 4:30). Or dollar donations may be made at GoFundMe, and the Backpacks website https://backpacksoflove.myshopify.com/ Food items currently needed, especially the proteins: peanut butter (16 oz. jars only), nabs or crackers, small bags of chips or Gold Fish, Ravioli, bottles of water, tuna fish, Vienna sau-sages, ramen noodles, pop tarts, fruit cups or pudding Again, thank you St. Luke’s Church members for helping school children who need food during the Coronavirus pandemic. From Susan and John Joseph

Watch over thy children, O Lord, as their days increase; bless and guide them wherever they may be. Strengthen them when they stand; comfort them when discouraged or sorrowful; raise them up if they fall; and in their hearts may thy peace which passeth understanding abide all the days of their life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
