St. Luke’s is a family
of believers that trans-
forms ourselves, each
other, and our commu-
nity into the Kingdom
of God through serv-
ing others, healing,
and education.
As a parish we have dis-
cerned this is who we are
and what we are called to
do at this time and in the
future. A picture of our vi-
sion that resonated with
the Vestry and visioning
team as we worked with
our consultant was that of
a “monastery without walls,
turned inside out”. How do
you picture a monastery?
Do you see church build-
ings surrounded by a high
wall, keeping “holy people
and holy space” within and
keeping the world out? Is a
monastery a place where
those who live within the
walls dedicate their lives to
prayer and worship and
leave active ministry
(caring for the needs of
others) to those outside the
gathered community?
Those images do not
sound inviting or descrip-
tive of St. Luke’s!
What we had in mind as a
“monastery without walls,
turned inside out” is de-
scribed in the book, Celtic
Christian Communities: Live
the Tradition by Ian Bradley.
(©2000) “Many of the mon-
asteries in the British Isles
(from the 6th to the 11th
centuries) were intensely
involved in the affairs of the
world and the lives of the
people they served as well
as being places of withdraw-
al and sanctuary. In scat-
tered rural communities with
virtually no other institutions
or centers, they fulfilled the
roles of hospital, hotel,
school, university, arts work-
shop, open prison and re-
formatory, night shelter and
drop-in day center as well as
church, retreat house, mis-
sion station and place of
..And now, Father, send us out to do the work you have given us to do, to love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord. (from the
BCP Holy Eucharist Rite II)
Our church family gath-
ered on the final Sunday
of 2014 to honor, thank
and pray for Linda Ricker,
postulant for holy orders,
as she leaves us to begin a
year-long internship at St.
John’s Chester.
In her sermon, Linda said
that shortly after she ar-
rived at St. Luke’s, parish-
ioners had reached out
their hands and invited her
to become a participant in
our ministries, and that that
initial invitation had eventu-
ally led her on the journey
Goodbye and Godspeed, Linda
to the diaconate. With tears
in her eyes, she told those
gathered that though she

prayer and spiritual healing. They con-
cerned themselves not just with the
spiritual, intellectual and physical well-
being of the communities they served
but also with their culture and tradi-
tion.” (p. 11) Around these monaster-
ies were not high walls but usually a
waist-high border, a vallum, designed
to keep wild beasts out and domestic
animals within. This vallum marked
the space in which the values of the
Kingdom of God would prevail; it gave
a place of sanctuary for those fleeing
from violence and to those who
wished to experience “the Kingdom of
God” lived out in every day life. The
vallum had openings and gates in it to
make the community within open and
accessible to a constant stream of
visitors, pilgrims and penitents. Faith-
sharing teams of those who lived with-
in were sent out in mission to neigh-
boring or far-off tribes. Evangelizing
meant a “come and see” invitation to
any who were curious or in need - to
experience the way of life of the com-
munity. Guests were welcomed as
Christ and could participate in the life
of the community however they were
comfortable. With such a gracious
welcome many felt as though they
“belonged” and they began to adopt
the practices of prayer and behavior
of community members. Belonging
and behaving led often to “believing”,
as they came to understand and em-
brace the faith in Christ they saw,
lived out in their midst.
These “monasteries without walls”
were grounded in and energized by a
regular rhythm of prayer and worship:
Morning and Evening Prayer, Com-
pline, and Holy Eucharist (in most
places). Members observed a com-
mon “rule of life”: practices of prayer,
study, action, and hospitality that
nourished their spiritual lives and
kept them centered in God and con-
nected with one another. These mon-
asteries had gardens for growing
crops and for quiet meditation. Some
had a labyrinth walk and space for
outdoor worship and recreation. The-
se monasteries served as the
“chroniclers of history” and a source
of stability for the region or area,
keeping records and stewarding the
history and traditions of the local peo-
ple.
Now, this kind of monastery sounds
attractive and like a community with
which many would want to associate,
doesn’t it? We wonder what St.
Luke’s will look like when we live out
a model like this in our time…
With Vestry members taking the lead we will be examining the internal as-pects of our life as a faith community in order to be intentional that our church activities are purposeful and that they are creating an experience that furthers the spiritual growth and ministry of each person. We will re-search the needs of Powhatan County to determine how we can focus on the unmet or underserved needs. We plan to read Bob Lupton’s book, Toxic Charity: How Churches and Charities Hurt Those They Help, and How to Reverse It. In light of this reading and
research we will do an audit of current outreach ministries to focus on those in line with our vision. We value part-nering with other churches and chari-ties to minister in our area. We will undergird all this work with prayer and commit to communicating our plans as we go along. Always, we welcome your thoughts and visions, your hopes and dreams, your participation and commitment as we go forward toward this vision.
“When we do for those in
need what they have the
capacity to do for
themselves, we disempower
them.” from Toxic Charity

Stephen Ministry is a one-to-one lay caring and listening ministry that takes place within a parish but is not limited to members. Stephen Ministry congregations equip and empower lay caregivers, called Stephen Ministers, to provide high-quality confidential Christ-centered care for people who are hurting. Stephen Ministers don’t replace the clergy’s pastoral and counseling responsibilities; they work with the clergy and with clergy over-sight and support to accompany per-sons through difficult times in life: grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or ter-minal illness, or some other life crisis.

Manakin Church has committed to implementing Stephen Ministry in their parish in 2015. They have sent Paula Price, a member at Manakin, for training to oversee their program and have registered to become a Ste-phen Ministry congregation, an initial outlay of over $3000. Paula and Rev. Michael Stone have graciously invited us to send several of our members for their training of Stephen Ministers, beginning this month (for 40 hours of training). We can explore this pro-gram to see if it is something we would wish to implement in the future at St. Luke’s. Several persons have
committed to this training. Their train-ing will be completed by Easter and they can advise the Vestry on the benefits and costs of adopting it in our parish. Meanwhile, they can also serve as Stephen Ministers under Paula’s guidance at Manakin and with any of our parishioners, with Sandi’s direction. We are being given a great gift in this invitation to participate with Man-akin Church in the training for Ste-phen Ministry. Watch this space for more information later in the spring!
Pledge update for 2015: as of Dec. 28, 56 pledges for a total of $138,980 have
been submitted. (In 2014 60 families pledged $150,290.)
Thanks to all who have turned in their Covenant Cards for 2015 to support the minis-
tries of St. Luke’s. Covenant Cards are still being accepted. They may be placed in the
offering plate mailed, or taken to the church office.

would always be first in her heart. The
congregation led by our young people
joined together to lay their hands on
Linda during Sandi’s concluding bless-
ing. The service concluded with
Shine Jesus Shine, a hymn that
serves as a wonderful metaphor for
Linda’s faith journey.
At the luncheon that followed, parish-
ioners young and old toasted Linda’s
service at St. Luke’s and wished her
well on the next step in her journey.
Linda was also presented with a cas-
sock and surplice paid for by dona-
tions from the congregation and a
check for over $700 to use towards
other expenses.

ary. 6-7, 2015 in Williamsburg.

The Season of Epiphany
Epiphany is one of the oldest Chris-
tian feasts. It has been celebrated
since the end of the second century,
before the Christmas holiday was
established in 336 AD. In western
churches, it falls on Janu-
ary 6, the twelfth day after
Christmas, and is the third
season of our church year
(following Advent and
Christmas). It is also
known as "Three Kings
Day" and "Twelfth Day".
The word "epiphany"
comes from two Greek
words, the preposition “epi” and the
verb “phainen”, and can variously
mean, "to shine upon," "to reveal," or
"to appear, manifest." Epiphany refers
to the day itself and to the church sea-
son that follows. Epiphany ends on
Ash Wednesday (as Lent begins)
and varies in length.
Epiphany commemorates the first
two occasions on which Jesus’ divini-
ty was manifested: the visit of the
three kings (also known as wise men
or Magi) to the infant Jesus in Bethle-
hem, and Jesus’ baptism by John the
Baptist in the River Jordan.
Protestant and Roman Catholic
churches emphasize the visit of the
Magi during Epiphany. The Eastern
Orthodox churches focus on Jesus’
baptism.
Thank you for helping to make
Christmas special for our com-
munity. Clockwise from top

Meadow, gifts for Christmas

Thank you for Your Generosity

Want the best for your family in 2015?
Here are some tips for happier,
healthier families! Visit HealthyHome-
Styles.com for even more quick, easy,
no cost ideas for a healthier lifestyle!
1. Enjoy a fruit and veggie rainbow.
Is your family missing out on the
rewards of fruits and veggies?
Getting enough fruits and veggies
helps families get more nutrients,
avoid constipation, and keep their
weight under control. To boost
fruit and veggie intake, try serving
those that are colorful and have
mild flavors, talk about how good
they taste, and serve them at eve-
ry meal.
2. Right size it. Many families are
eating much more than they did
years ago because the portions
served are larger which can lead
to overeating and weight gain.
Healthy size portions help kids
grow normally, give kids and par-
ents the nutrients they need, and
help keep weights healthy.
3. Play, Every Day! Physical activi-
ty for at least 60 minutes every
day is important for the whole
family. Being active means play-
ing hard enough to breathe hard
and sweat. Find time for active
play by keeping TV, DVDs, and
computer time to 2 hours daily.
4. Think about those drinks. Having
a sugary drink once in a while is
fine, but many people drink more
than is healthy. Provide the best
choices for kids and parents wa-
ter and milk! Dress up water with
a splash of fruit juice. Or, add
flavors to milk. (Chocolate milk
has all the nutrients in milk and
less sugar than soda.)
5. Have a standing reservation with
Mr. Sandman. Sleep is key to
good health. It helps improve
memory, learning, and creativity.
To be sure kids get enough sleep,
set a regular bedtime and stick to
it. A bedtime routine helps the
whole family get the zzzzs they
need.
6. Be the leader. Kids notice every-
thing and like sponges, they soak
it up! So, to get them to eat break-
fast, play actively, eat their veg-
gies, get enough sleep parents
have to encourage them to do it.
Let them know you enjoy it, and
then do it!

gers University on www.app.com
Tips for Happier, Healthier Families in 2015
Dear St. Luke's Family,
THANK YOU for your many Christmas gifts and cards, all signs of

least four pictures to capture most of the gifts! Congratulations and
thanks to Gladys Suggs and all who silently pulled off the Great K-
1 Christmas Caper!
Thank you for the many gifts, great and small, that you gave to our
staff and ministry leaders. Your thoughtfulness and prayers nourish
us as we serve among you. Your gifts and goodies for our Powha-

Strengthen them when they stand; comfort them when discouraged or sor-rowful; 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.
