It’s a joy to write to you this month as the
Rector of St. John’s.
The time I’ve spent with you all thus far
has been a blessing to my family. We are
eagerly looking forward to moving to
Olympia in July and starting on the next leg
of our journey together!
This summer, like all summers in church
work, will be a time for us all to make plans
for the coming program year together,
laying the groundwork for a successful year

for my family and me, as we move to a new
house and prepare for new schools, new
daycares, new grocery stores and new
adventures!
My first Sunday as your Rector will be July
10. I hope you will join us as we celebrate

you will invite your friends to join you. This
community is one of the brightest lights in
Olympia, and I think we should put that light
on the lamp stand, where everyone can see
it!
Bishop Rickel will join us on Thursday

and mutual ministry, and I hope you will also
join us as we celebrate this amazing
community that evening too.
In the meantime, I look forward to getting
settled in, and to the ministry we all have to
look forward to!

Rumor has it that Lance Avery and Dylan Saul will serve
enchiladas between the misa and Compline at
StreetFest.
The peaceful, contemplative Compline service is
offered at 8 p.m. every Sunday, and will be the
concluding event of StreetFest.
Asunción de la Virgen María
La Iglesia de San Juan tendrá su celebración anual
de la Asunción de la Virgen María con una misa al aire
libre terminando con la Fiesta en la Calle, el domingo,
14 de agosto.
Habrá música especial para la celebración de la
misa, con músicos de jazz contemporáneo a los que se
unirán el coro de San Juan y los músicos Sergio Gomez
y David Castro.
Dicen por ahí que Lance Avery y Dylan Saul servirán
enchiladas después de la misa y antes de las
Completas en la Fiesta en la Calle.
El servicio de Completas, contemplativo se ofrece a
las 8 p.m. todos los domingos, y será el acto de

La Fiesta de la Calle Lista para el 14 de Agosto
El 14 de agosto St. John’s invitará a la comunidad
de Olimpia en general a unirse a la diversión con
comida gratis, música continua y entretenimiento así
como una muestra de servicios comunitarios de una
serie de organismos sin fines de lucro en la Avenida 20
que estará cerrada para este evento.
Habrá piñatas cada hora, pinta de caras, globos, y
otras actividades para los niños; un gigantesco juego
de damas, y, posiblemente, un juego torneo de
ajedrez. La experiencia anterior nos ha enseñado que
también se necesitan toldos para sombra, por
lo cualquier persona con estos o tiendas de
campaña-tops que deseen colaborar, por favor,
póngase en contacto con los copresidentes Gerry
Apple [email protected] o David
Little [email protected]).
Así también se necesitan voluntarios para ayudar al
Comité de equipo de barbacoa (BBQ) y Eventos
para preparar y servir hot dogs, quesadillas, limonada
y helado.
Este es un evento ecológico, libre de residuos, con
el menú previsto para utilizar sólo material
compostable, artículos de papel y envases
reciclables, de acuerdo con la política de St. John’s
del Pacto Génesis.
La orquesta Artesian Rumble y varios grupos
asociados con St. John’s amenizarán el evento de 3 a
6 p.m. haciendo la transición hacia la misa al aire libre
en Español con música, luego habrá una enchilada, y,
por último, a las 8 el servicio de las de Completas.
Assumption of the Virgin Mary Mass
Iglesia de San Juan will hold its annual celebration
of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary with an outdoor
mass at the conclusion of StreetFest, Sunday,
August 14.
There will be special music for the festive misa, with
musicians from Sacred Jazz and St. John’s
contemporary choir joining musicians Sergio Gomez
and David Castro.
Many thanks to the wonderful cooks
from Fiesta Latina!
Faith Formation
Stewardship Reflection
As we reflect on all that St. John’s has provided for
the spiritual nourishment and growth of this precious
and wonderful Parish community over these many
years, we give thanks to all of the generations, past
and present. Their faithfulness in supporting God’s
work has given us an incredibly beautiful sanctuary
that inspires our worship, a parish hall that enables us
to deepen our fellowship with one another, facilities
inside our spacious building that support our many
ministries, and verdant grounds outside that offer a
peaceful invitation to all who wish to experience the
Christian life.
However, remember that St. John’s is not just the
sanctuary, the parish hall, and its verdant grounds. It is
you and me, all of us, called together to continue in
the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, proclaim the
Good News and serve Christ in all persons. In the
words of our Presiding Bishop, Michael Curry, “We are
part of something greater than ourselves.” And so, we
thank each of you for your faithful and generous
commitment of time, talent and treasure to the
mission of St. John’s. You are truly a blessing to the
abundant life and hope of this parish community.
May the Lord’s peace and blessings always be with
you.
Your servants in Christ,
Gerry Apple (Vestry ’16)
Ron Leo (Vestry ’17)

Bible Study – Summer Break
By Deacon Terri Lolcama
The midweek Bible Study that meets on Wednesday
mornings at 10 a.m. will take a break in July.
Bible Study will resume August 3, to discuss and
discern the format for the coming year. Look for more
information in the bulletin and the Chronicle.
While you are relaxing this summer, how about
reading the Bible (cover-to-cover), check out a book
from our great church library or read Crazy Christians,
A Call to Follow Jesus by The Rt. Rev. Michael B. Curry,
Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church. Happy
summer reading!

Education for Ministry
By Usrah Claar-Peck
Many of us feel we are familiar with the Bible and
have a fair understanding of what it means to be a
Christian. Our knowledge may have started in
childhood and continued through regular or sporadic
church attendance. However, it has been said that
many of us are walking around with an eleven-year-
old’s theology, trying to face adult issues.
Education for Ministry (EfM) is designed to engage
intellect, curiosity, and reason into an in-depth study of
our heritage and current life as Christians.
EfM uses a seminar approach, incorporating
worship, independent study, and theological reflection
in a community setting of not more than 12

Thank you to everyone who volunteered for a shift
at the rest stop! You made our fundraiser a success!
Thank you to everyone who donated treats! The
hungry and weary travelers made many remarks
about being thankful for such a generous variety of
cookies and pastries to go with their coffee. Many of
the pastries and cookies were generously donated by
Wagner’s Bakery, Olympia. They have been true to our
needs for several years!
Matthew 25:35 sums it up best: "For I was hungry,
and you gave me food: I was thirsty, and you gave me
drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in."
Sunday School Is Out for the Summer
By Denise Hammer
June marked the final two weeks of Sunday School
for the year.
The first Sunday was very hot so the class celebrated
outside with sidewalk chalk art, stories and a cold Otter
Pop snack.
The second Sunday marked the official celebration
with the traditional trek to Lincoln Elementary School
for time on the playground. It was a small group, but
everyone enjoyed their time together. The class
returned to St. John's for communion and each child
present received a gift card to get an ice cream treat
from Dairy Queen.
Sunday School will resume in September!
participants. Guided by trained mentors, participants
spend four academic years exploring the Hebrew
scriptures, Christian scriptures, history of Christianity and
the meaning of ministry in current life.
In England, EfM is referred to as Exploring Faith
Matters; in the US, this exploration of faith matters is
used by multiple denominations to strengthen the
people in the pews.
Starting in September, the EfM group meets
Wednesday afternoons from 3-5:30 p.m.at St. John’s.
For further information talk to EfM mentors John
Guydish at 943-5472 and Usrah Claar-Peck at 570-
2211.
The enrollment deadline is July 15, 2016. Tuition is
$350 yearly (this is a reduced fee due to St. John’s
sponsoring the course). The fee includes texts, learning
materials and trained mentors.

Camp Michael Rest Stop Fundraiser a Success!
By Denise Hammer
Camp Michael is happy to announce that our rest
stop fundraiser was very successful!
The volunteers reported a high volume of hungry
and thirsty travelers visiting the Maytown Rest Stop.
Maintaining a supply of hot coffee and treats kept
everyone busy throughout their three hour shifts.
By Sunday afternoon, we shopped for additional
coffee. When the fundraiser wrapped up on Monday
afternoon, nearly all supplies of coffee, cookies,
doughnuts, cups and napkins were depleted. This high
demand travel weekend showed in our final results.
The final tally in donations was $1,349.86!
The fundraising is critical to the success of our
camp. So far, Camp Michael has gotten funding
requests for 16 campers not affiliated with a
participating Willapa Regional Ministry church.
Camp Michael has a tradition of never turning
away a child who wants to come to camp, but that is
only possible through your help. If you would like to
sponsor a camper, we welcome donations! Donations
may be made through the website,
www.CampMichael.org, or checks can be given to

her Birthday cards. Last, but not least, we’ll share cake,
ice cream, and juice with all the girls there and with
some of the counselors. Please call Jenny Louden at
754-1968 for directions to Brentwood if you need them.
Thank You St. John’s
David and I want to thank you all for the wonderful
farewell party on June 12 as I retired from St. John’s. It
was so good to see so many of you there to celebrate
our ministry together these past nine and one half
years.
Special thanks to the Events Committee for
planning the party. The food was delicious and the
cake was beautiful. Thanks to everyone for your love
and support over the years and the gift that Fr. R.C.
presented to us from all of you. It will be used for a
vacation to some wonderful location. Thanks to the
Altar Guild for the beautiful flowers, and the Piece
Keepers for their beautiful gift. And above all, to you,
the parishioners, thank you so much for the wonderful
memories that we have shared. We are thankful for
each of you and will miss you all.
God bless you as St. John’s moves onto new
horizons of ministry.
In Peace, Mother June+ and David
God will do the Rest
I asked the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way
His love is always with you
His promises are true
And when we give Him all our cares
You know He will see us through

Buy Your Bulbs from Altar Guild
By Dorn Barr
Early this fall, the Altar Guild will be selling Tulip bulbs
from DeGoede Bulb Farm.
The bulbs will be a great price with a variety of
colors. You will be able to see the selections in the next
Chronicle and preorder your bulbs!
Watch for our ad in the September Chronicle.
The Bees’ Buzz
By Jenny Louden
The Busy Bees want, first of
all, to thank all of those who
helped to support our
programs of outreach in the
community by purchasing
items at this year’s June
Jumble. Without you, we
could not do nearly as much to help older girls and
young women in need.
On June 14, the Bees held their June Luncheon to
celebrate the past program year (including the
Jumble) and to plan for the year ahead. We had a
good time (always the main aim of our lunches!) and
we talked about expanding our giving and increasing
the size of our group. We used to have over 20 active
members. Now just over half that size at most
meetings. We need young (or at least younger)
members. Please, if you have ever even thought
about becoming a Bee, do come join us in any of our
activities, and see how you like “Bee-ing”.
We elected a new Secretary and Treasurer at the
Luncheon. Sue Michie has been Secretary and Mary
Jane Adair has been Treasurer for many years. New in
those positions are Lin Hampton, Secretary, and
Sharon Ziegler, Treasurer. We expressed our
appreciation to all four of them.
Our next activity is a birthday party for Veronica,
one of the girls at Brentwood House, who will be 17.
We are meeting at Brentwood on Wednesday, June
29 at 1 p.m. to celebrate with her. She’ll get a gift
certificate for Target from our group, and we’ll all bring

Bookworm’s Nook
By Jenny Louden
An editor of the
magazine Christianity
Today, Philip Yancey has
written many books on the
topic of different aspects of
Christianity. One of his books
in our St. John’s Church
Library is The Bible Jesus Read. Having just completed
the first year of the Education for Ministry program
(EfM) here in our parish, a year that includes reading
most of the Old Testament, I was curious as to what
Yancey would have to say about it.
I was impressed! Rather than looking at the origins
of parts of the Bible or probable authorship, this author
focuses on the key messages in five parts of it: Job,
Deuteronomy, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and the Prophets.
In examining these, Yancey looks at their primary
messages both in terms of what they must have meant
to their audiences in the past—especially when first
written and in Jesus’ time—and what they can help us
with in modern times.
If you are thinking of joining EfM as a first-year
student and not sure whether reading most of the Old
Testament will be worth your while (and it does take a
good bit of time), I would suggest you read this
interesting book. I think it will make you curious and
could help you decide to learn more, and EfM is a
great way to do that!
Monday Morning Crafters’ Picnics
By Jenny Louden
Some of the Monday Morning Crafters joined for an
enjoyable picnic at Tumwater Falls Park on June 6. A
couple of us (four if you count the dog and the baby!)
also walked along the falls afterwards. We plan to
picnic again on July 11 (not July 4!) and on August 2,
and we’ll decide soon where those picnics will be
held.
Do come and share your Monday mornings with the
Crafters when you can. We meet in the Parish Hall
every Monday at 10 a.m. Everyone is welcome. Just
bring something you’re working on, if you like. Or just
come and join our chatter—it’s always pleasant.
So when the road you’re traveling on
Seems difficult at best
Just remember I’m here praying
And God will do the rest.
May God Smile on you today.
We love you and we will miss you,
Mother June!

Outreach Rest Stop 2016
Saturday, August 6, 2 a.m., to Monday, August 8, 2 p.m.
By Sherry Sullivan
Calling For Volunteer Hosts. The Outreach
Committee will be recruiting folks for four-hour shifts to
serve coffee/juice and cookies/pastries to weary
northbound travelers on I-5 who stop for a break at the
Scatter Creek Rest Stop.
This is a much-appreciated public service for drivers
and their passengers (we get lots of grateful “thank-
you’s”). The main purpose, however, is to raise money
for charitable organizations in our community
stretched thin by the ever increasing demand for their
services.
Donations received from this Rest Stop will be
divided between the Union Gospel Mission’s Free
Dental Clinic and the Olympia Free Clinic (medical
and mental health services). Each clinic is the only
service of its kind in the entire South Sound region. The
work they do is a God-send for people in pain with
nowhere else to turn.
Please consider giving some time from your summer
to provide this much appreciated service—by serving
at the Rest Stop, baking cookies or providing other
needed supplies. You will have a good time putting a
smile on travelers’ faces and supporting medical and
dental services for those in need.
Contact Sherry Sullivan at 705-1974 or Allen Ziegler
at 357-8530 for information.

Texas 4000 Bicycle Riders arriving Thursday July 21
By Kathryn McLeod
On Thursday, July 21, our college friends from
University of Austin, Texas, will be bicycling to St.
John's.
Please consider hosting these Texas 4000 bicycle
riders for a night! We'll have a potluck dinner at St.
John's the night they arrive so bring your favorite food
and join us!
There will be a sign-up sheet in the Parish Hall for
hosting during the first week of July.
“Texas 4000 for Cancer was founded by Chris
and Mandy Condit in 2004, both engineering
students at the University of Texas in Austin.
Diagnosed at age 11, Chris himself is a Hodgkin’s
lymphoma survivor. He conceived Texas 4000 as
a way to continue the fight against cancer by
raising funds for cancer research and sharing
hope, knowledge, and charity throughout the
continent. Chris felt that creating the longest
charity bicycle ride in the world, from Texas to
Alaska, would be an appropriate way to fight
the nation’s greatest disease threat.” Retrieved
from the organization history found on the Texas
4000 website: www.texas4000.org.

Macmillan at [email protected] or Kathryn

El Hogar
By Sue Michie
Thank you for your continued support of Arnol, our
second grade student at El Hogar, The School of Love
and Hope, in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
We have now passed the halfway point towards
our $1,800 commitment to help clothe, feed, house
and educate Arnol. Our check will be sent to El Hogar
in February of 2017 so we are doing very well this year!
The next Second Sundays are July 10 and August 14
when all loose change in the offering plates go to
support Arnol (as well as any dollars and checks that
have El Hogar on them).
We have been godparents to nine students at El
Hogar since I began serving as the St. John’s
representative in 1993. Out of those boys, three
dropped out during the first year they attended El
Hogar.
Our first student, Rigoberto Bobadilla, left the school
at age 18 to go to work after being a student for six
grades there. Our next student Emerson Lopez
Morazon graduated in 2008 and moved to the U.S.A.
Alan Dony Soto Martinez graduated from El Hogar in
2000.
Many do not make it through the entire program
and quit when they are old enough to get a job and
help out their families.
We followed the progress of our student Luis Miguel
Ramos Espinoza from 2002 through 2009 when he left
school to go to work. We sponsored Jaison Jahir Perez
Ordonez from 2010 through 2014 when he left the
school. We are now in the second year of sponsoring
Arnol.
Please keep Arnol and the other El Hogar students
and the El Hogar staff in your prayers.
10th Annual Cambodian Gala Dinner!!
Saturday, August 27, 5 p.m.
Please reserve August 27 for a fabulous Cambodian
dinner and gala celebration at St. John’s.
The program will include new photos from Tithia's
trip to Cambodia, a description of seed grant results,
and a brief overview of the ever-challenging political
scene in Cambodia today.
Your presence and financial support will insure that
over 45 desperately poor families in Cambodia will be
able to eat with a quarterly stipend for food. Three
families will also receive seed grants for start-up
materials or training that puts them on a path to self-
sufficiency. The beloved community of St John's is
sharing Christ's love across the globe, making a
positive difference, one family in need at a time. (For
more information see Tithia Sum or Sherry Sullivan.)

out!
Also, we are still in desperate need of socks, at least
500 more pair. We will have a bin ready to receive
socks beginning in July. Money donations are also
welcome. Make check out to St. John’s and mark on
the memo line, Outreach LRSH sox.

canopies for shade, so anyone with tent-tops we can
set up for the afternoon, please contact co-chairs
Gerry Apple at [email protected] or David Little
We’ll also need volunteers to help the BBQ team and
Events Committee prepare and serve hot dogs,
quesadillas, lemonade and ice cream.
This is a no-waste event, with the menu planned to
use only compostable paper goods and recyclable
packaging, in keeping with St. John’s Genesis
Covenant.
The Artesian Rumble Arkestra and various groups
associated with St. John’s will perform from 3 to 6 p.m.,
segueing into an outdoor Misa en Español with extra
music at 6 p.m., an enchilada interval, and finally,
Compline at 8 p.m.
