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 In his weekly email to the clergy of the

Diocese, Bishop Rickel said that his visitation

to St. John’s was a great day. Thank you to

everyone who helped make it so. We had

four baptisms, twelve confirmations and a

celebration of the gift of the church to the

world, along with fabulous food, an

incredible turnout and gorgeous music and

worship.

In June, we will welcome Bishop Rickel

again to St. John’s, and with him, the Most

Rev. Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of the

Episcopal Church.

Bishop Curry will be in the Diocese from

June 14-17, and you might want to attend

two special events.

On Thursday night, June 14, Bishop Curry

will be preaching at Evensong at St. Mark’s

Cathedral in Seattle. We’ve chartered two

buses and the 112 total spaces available

are filling fast. Use the sign-up sheet in the

Parish Hall or call the church office to

reserve your spot. The cost is $15 per person

(round trip), and the buses will leave at 4:30

p.m. sharp to ensure that everyone has

good seats at the service.

On Saturday morning, June 16, 10:30

a.m., Bishop Curry will join us here at St.

John’s for a conversation facilitated by

Bishop Rickel. Bishop Curry will be able to

share his experience of being part of the

Royal Wedding. I am sure he will also want

to share his thoughts on the Jesus

Movement and our Episcopal Church’s role

in that movement.

A festive reception with both bishops will

follow. This event will certainly be standing

room only, so plan to arrive early.

We are honored to be chosen to host

Bishop Curry, and we will certainly roll out

the red carpet!

In local news, I’m pleased to announce

that St. John’s and St. Christopher’s,

Steamboat Island, have jointly hired a

youth minister who will start in June. Alex

Flannagan will be working eight hours each

week, splitting his time between St. John’s

and St. Christopher’s. We expect that the

youth group will meet every other week at

St. John’s (with the group at St.

Christopher’s meeting the opposite weeks).

Each quarter or so, the two churches will

have joint events.

St. John’s also welcomes two other new

staff members. Lisa Norton joined us as the

Parish Administrator, and Pam Tinsley will

serve as our ministry intern.

From the Rector

(continued from page 1)

Lisa is engaging with vigor the steep learning curve

that church work entails!

Pam is in discernment for ordination in the

Episcopal Church and will be with us at least until the

end of the calendar year, maybe longer. Bishop

Rickel asked us to help her explore her calling in a

vibrant ministry setting. I’ve asked Pam to work

specifically with the Pastoral Care Committee, making

calls and helping to manage the paperwork for

licensure of that ministry. I also asked her to preach

and participate in the liturgy and explore the

possibility of a women’s retreat weekend in the Fall.

An introduction to each new staff member begins

on page 1.

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 here on earth

every day.

I can’t wait to meet and engage with the members

of your congregation and community. My wife

Harmony, puppy Charlie, and I are excited for our

new adventure in Olympia. Harmony attended

Evergreen College and graduated with a BS in

ecology and BA in sustainability. Charlie is an 8-month-

old black lab/shepherd mix and a very sweet pup.

We’re currently in the process of packing and getting

ready to move. I can’t wait. See you soon! You can

reach me at alex@stjohnsoly.org.

Introducing Alex Flannigan, Youth Minister

(continued from page 1)

Christopher’s, I plan to provide consistent program

and leadership to further engage the youth in both

churches. Youth can expect an incorporation of

music, community, the outdoors, and discussion,

along with activities and excursions.

I served a joyous 10-year career at the Diocese of

Olympia’s Camp Huston, most recently as assistant

director, before feeling a call to newness and

change. The opportunity to continue to serve

Diocesan youth and utilize much of my skill set and

experience is a wonderful one. While at Camp Huston,

I became a trainer for Safeguarding God’s Children. I

trained 40 staff per summer to be Christian leaders for

350 campers. I also led workshops around the country

teaching the methods I use when designing

intentional and safe programs for youth. I particularly

enjoyed the chance to see other Episcopal summer

camps and conference centers, meet the staff, and

learn what makes each one somewhat unique.

Introducing Lisa Norton, Office Administrator

school days and into college. I was blessed to make

amazing friends there that I am still close with today. I

studied at Green River Community College where I

earned my Associate’s of Arts Degree. From there, I

went on to graduate from City University in Tacoma

with a Bachelor’s Degree in Special Education and a

minor in Literacy and Reading. I was an educator for

over fifteen years and have been lucky to work in four

different school districts during that time.

This is my first role in a church in an official position—

I spent much, much time in my youth as a volunteer in

the church—and I am loving it!

My husband works just a half mile away. He is a

Fisheries Biologist for the Washington Department of

Fish and Wildlife. We live in Tenino with our three

furbabies—a Blue Heeler and two Mini Doxies! We do

not have any children but are the very proud aunt

and uncle of 15 nieces and nephews between the

two of us and four great nieces and nephews!

If we are not at home in our garden or pool, or

playing board games, we are either fishing or with our

families and close friends. We love music and can be

found singing and dancing most anywhere, especially

at live shows. The beach is our second home and we

take every chance we get to be on the water in our

boat or hanging out on the shore. In my spare time, I

love to cook and craft and sew—anything from

blankets to costumes to pattern design.

Working in Olympia is a dream come true for me, a

goal I have had since I was young. I am so excited to

be here and be a part of this wonderful group of

people at St. John’s. If I have not already met you, I

Fiesta Latina

Fiesta Latina, nuestra celebración anual de la

cultura latinoamericana, se llevará a cabo el viernes

29 de junio a las 5:50 p.m.

Los planes están en marcha para una maravillosa

cena. Necesitamos contribuciones de artículos y

servicios para subastar. Hay una hoja de inscripción

en la sala parroquial para tal fin.

En el pasado, algunos de nuestros mejores artículos

no han sido cosas materiales. Las comidas, los viajes,

los servicios de jardinería, los servicios de reparación y

los masajes han estado entre los mejores artículos que

hemos vendido y que nos gustaría volver a tener.

Su apoyo será muy apreciado.

Summer Events

We are looking forward to many great events this

summer.

Six celebrations of Quinceanos are on our calendar

at present.

Our new Sunday School classes are doing very well.

People continue to inquire about baptisms and

other events. We are a live and growing congregation

and we thank God for the gift of the Holy Spirit.

offered me this opportunity to continue to discern my

call to the priesthood. You have probably noticed my

presence in the liturgy at both services, including

preaching. I am also part of the Pastoral Care team

and the Discipleship 101 group. I look forward to

connecting with the Women’s Spirituality group and

exploring the possibility of offering a retreat.

My home parish is St. Andrew’s in Tacoma. I’ve

called Tacoma home for the past 30 years. I relocated

from the East Coast when I continued my professional

career with Physicians Insurance in Seattle and my

husband Dave began teaching at the University of

Puget Sound. After 22 years, I finally listened to God’s

persistent call, which eventually led to my earning an

M.Div. from Seattle University’s School of Theology and

Ministry and to discernment for the priesthood.

I have already gotten to know a few of you

through various diocesan ministries, such as Diocesan

Convention, Daughters of the King, and Cursillo. For

the past five years, my ministry passion has been the

redevelopment of Cursillo to Come and See, Go and

Tell with its emphasis on evangelism.

My interests include gardening, hiking/walking,

reading, caring for our aging basset hound, and last –

but not least – spending time with family, including our

son John and his wife Katie, who also live in Tacoma.

I look forward to continuing to meet you all in the

days to come! I am regularly at St. John’s on Sundays

and mid-day Tuesdays, and on other days for

meetings or events. I would love to have coffee and

get to know you better. I can be reached at

pam@stjohnsoly.org.

Plans are well under way for a wonderful dinner.

We need contributions of items and services to

auction. A sign-up sheet is available in the Parish Hall.

Education for Ministry

By Usrah Claar-Peck

Education for Ministry (EfM) is a study program for

lay people to become informed about the Christian

faith.

Using a seminar approach over four years,

participants study the Old Testament, New Testament,

church history, and moral and ethical aspects of living

our faith.

Study guides, textbooks and a facilitator are

provided for the 36 weeks of seminar each year. (EfM

is sponsored by the Diocese of Olympia, so tuition is

reduced to $375 yearly.) Currently the group meets

Thursdays from 6-8:30 p.m.

The current first-year group recently spent a seminar

discussing Psalms, with some wonderful guidance from

Dr. Curt Sather. At the end of the class they wrote a

psalm!

Spring is telling the story of God

in the voice of the bumblebee.

Flowers proclaim God's majesty and glory

as they open to the light.

When the days grow longer

we delight in the world around us.

The yellow daffodil makes us sad

when we remember loved ones no longer with

us.

But the warmth of the awakening earth

reminds us that you are with us.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise be to God.

Come join us in study, theological reflection and

the experience of seminar life. Contact Usrah Claar-

Peck for further information (360-570-2211).

What Is Happening with the Busy Bee’s?

By Lin Hampton

The Busy Bees is a women’s group with members

from several churches here in the Olympia area. The

mission of the group is to assist local young women

and girls in need. The Busy Bees raise funds each year

through the June Jumble sale and the Christmas Faire.

The Busy Bees have contributed to:

• The YWCA STEM ( + THE ARTS) program

• Community Youth Services programs ( including

Rosie’s place)

• Brentwood girl’s home, where members volunteer

and provide school supplies, etc.

The Bees also helped with specific donations to

other local programs as needed.

This month, the Bees learned about the Family

Support Center – Pear Blossom Place here in Olympia.

Pear Blossom Place provides 24-hour shelter for families

experiencing homelessness.

The Bees meet monthly on the second Tuesday at 1

p.m. in the Guild Room at St. John’s. All are welcome

to join us. For further information on how you can join

Library Ministry

By Janice Jackson

The June Jumble is coming! Thanks to Nicki Weeks

who volunteered to take on the organization, we will

be able to sell books to raise money for our library and

church! Please, all who have books, movies, or CDs to

donate, leave them in the Adult Library to the right of

the door as you come in. Any books are appreciated!

We are over halfway through the audit of our

library. We are making room for new books by pulling

books that have never been checked out, are old

and falling apart, or are marked in and damaged. All

the books that have been pulled will be offered at the

June Jumble. We are updating our lists at the same

time so you will be able to look for a book by title,

author, or Dewey number.

We have a new shelf of Great Courses that consist

of classes on various topics. Most of them include a

Guide book and a DVD of lectures. Come in and

check out the wonderful topics, which would be great

for classes or for personal study.

The PNACL (Pacific Northwest Association of

Church Libraries) Conference this year is June 22 and

June 23. Non-members are also welcome! It will be

held at the First Presbyterian Church, 114 SW 8th Street,

Corvallis, OR 73222. The full conference w/meals is $90

for members and $115 for non-members. The costs are

different for attending Friday only and Saturday Only.

Reservations after June 1 will add a $20 late fee. A list

of Authors attending and Workshops you can register

for are on the application. If you are interested, flyers

are in the Adult Library on the shelf to the left of the

door.

Potluck Update

Because of all that is going on, we won’t have a

potluck in June. All Friday potluckers are encouraged

to support and attend the Jazz Cabaret Dinner on

Friday June 8 at 7 p.m.

The next potluck is the 4th of July Barbeque. Watch

for details in the July-August Chronicle.

The Bookworm’s Nook

By Jenny Louden

Maybe it’s some sort of reverse effect of

participating in the church book study group, but I

seem to be reading very light stuff in my leisure time

these days. Anyway, we’re gliding into summer, both

on the calendar and in the weather, so I will

recommend a mystery that is quite without

theological or literary significance—though it has

been recreational for me.

I just finished G is for Gumshoe by Sue Grafton. I

have read a couple of her books in the past, but was

not much impressed by them. This one, however, had

me laughing out loud as I read, and often. Some of

her humor is on the racy side in this story, but I have to

admit, I found it to be amusing. The mystery itself

(really two puzzles woven together, which I find is an

intriguing plot ploy in such stories) is believable though

strange, and the characters are, I think, well drawn.

Membership Forms

By Mary Law, Clerk of the Vestry

Please use the form included on the front and back

of the next page in this Chronicle to provide updates

to the church database. You will notice places for

updating all members of the family. We are in the

planning stages of developing a new directory and

this information will be used as we move forward in

that process.

Thank you in advance.

El Hogar

By Sue Michie

Thank you for your continued support of Arnol and

Alondra at El Hogar, The School of Love and Hope, in

Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Your faithful giving in the

colorful offering plates on the Second Sunday of each

month provide so much for these two students. They

both live at El Hogar full-time and enjoy the many

benefits of the love and support of that community.

We received a Thank-You note from El Hogar:

Dear Members of St. John's Episcopal Church,

On behalf of Arnol Josue Lopez Gonzalez and

your newly added second student, Alondra

Nohemy Ferrufino Ortiz, thank you for renewing

your El Hogar Sponsorship. Your long-term

commitment is deeply appreciated!

Because of your significantly generous

support, Arnol and Alondra are being molded

into educated, productive, compassionate

individuals who will - in time - help break the

cycle of extreme poverty in Honduras. You make

this life-changing mission possible! Gratefully,

Debi Blackwell, El Hogar Development"

The next Second Sundays are June 10, July 8 and

August 12. 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 them, the other

students, and the staff at El Hogar in your prayers.

Village to help raise funds for Camp Michael.

We are recruiting volunteers with pickup trucks or

other vehicles to transport the boxed clothes and other

unsold items to Value Village on Sunday afternoon,

June 3.

To volunteer to do any of the above, or to help the

day of the sale, contact Nicki Weekes,

weekersnic@yahoo.com or 813-428-2440, or Lisa, in the

church office, lisa@stjohnsoly.org or 360-352-8257. Tell us

what you are able to do and when you can do it and

we’ll get back to you with details.

Thanks to all of you who will make this year’s June

Jumble a success.
