From Sandi- The Lenten season begins this year on Ash Wednesday, February 13, with services of Holy Eucharist with imposition of ashes at 12 Noon and 7:00 PM. We will be taking ashes into the community again this year, known as “Ashes to Go”, offering ashes, prayer, and con-versation at the Powhatan YMCA from 9:45 AM to 11:15 AM and from 2 – 3:15 PM. If you would like to be part of this outreach, let Sandi know. We need someone to design and make a sign for us, explaining what we are offering, which will stand near the front door of the YMCA. We need several people to be present at the times listed above.

“I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and medi-tating on God’s holy Word.” (Book of Common Prayer 1979, page 265) For your self-examination during

Lent, I recom-mend the Litany of Penitence on pages 267-268 in the Book of Common Prayer and a review of the two forms for The Reconcilia-tion of a Peni-tent, beginning on page 447. This rite is avail-

able for all who desire it; as others have said about this rite: “All may participate in it; none must; and some should.” It consists of confes-sion of one’s sins to God in the pres-ence of a priest, who gives assur-ance of pardon and ministers absolu-tion in the name of God and the Church. The grace and healing that come through this sacramental rite enable us to live free from guilt and shame, empowering us to overcome sin and lead transformed lives.

A helpful Lenten devotional book is Wondrous Encounters: Scripture for Lent by Richard Rohr O.F.M (thanks to Jim Tucker for the tip). Make use of Forward Day by Day as part of your daily prayer life and read the Scriptures appointed for each day. Pray for the young person you have chosen as a prayer partner; pray for our church as we seek God’s plan and purpose for us. Use this time to draw near to God; go on a 24 hour individual retreat at Richmond Hill.

Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretched-ness, may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and for-giveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Collect for Ash Wednesday (BCP)

Take a walk in the woods and listen for God’s word in creation and in your heart.

Come to our special Lenten study on Wednesday evenings, beginning Feb-ruary 20, with a pot-luck dinner at 6:30 PM, followed by the program from 7 – 8 PM on RECONCILIATION. We will be using the book entitled, Reconcilia-tion, by Martin L. Smith. Copies will be available for sale at $12 or it can be downloaded to a tablet.

CHILDREN (grades 2-6) are invited to join Martha Benson and our Catechists for their own classes for five weeks, at the same time as the adult study, based on a sacramental preparation program for Reconciliation. Children do not have to be enrolled in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd on Sundays to attend; this program is open to ALL who are within the grade levels above. This course will help shape your child’s moral conscience, deepen their knowledge and experience of our lov-ing God, and prepare them for Sacra-ments of Reconciliation and Holy Eu-charist. Many of our children already receive Holy Communion; this course will deepen their appreciation and un-derstanding of these sacraments. On Saturday, April 13 these children will participate in a retreat day and experi-ence the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

What is Lent

Lent is the season of preparation for

the Celebration of the Great Feast of

Easter. This 40-day period of fasting

and prayer begins on Ash Wednesday

and goes to the Holy Saturday before

Easter. (Because every Sunday is an

“Easter Day”, they are not included in

the 40-day count.) The primary pur-

pose of Lent is strengthening our spir-

itual lives. Lent is about cleansing, preparing, praying, giving, re-

newing, and growing. In the early church it was time of special disci-

pline for those who were to be baptized on Easter Day. For Chris-

tians, today, it is a time of self-examination and repentance through

prayer, and engaging in activities that draw us closer to God. Len-

ten disciplines might include meditating on the Scriptures, participat-

ing in the Sacraments, fasting, self-denial, or taking on some new

habit that allows us to spend more time with God.

Page 4 The St. Luke’s Prescription

Music Notes From Betsy Brandt

Music for February moves us from the season of Epiphany into Lent. Our Epiphany hymns proclaim Jesus’ earthly ministry of love as prophet, teacher, and healer and tell the story of the Transfiguration. As alleluias are “put away” on February 10 in preparation for the season of Lent, our hymn texts turn toward themes of repentance, forgiveness, and penitence.

Lent begins at St. Luke’s with the observance of Ash Wednesday on February 13 with services at noon and 7. Choir rehearsals will not be held on Ash Wednes-day. Regular Wednesday choir rehearsals will re-sume on February 20.

Our Taize service will held at 5:30 on Sunday, Feb-ruary 24.

Alleluia, song of gladness, voice of joy that cannot die,

Alleluia is the anthem ever raised by choirs on high;

in the house of God abiding thus they sing eternally.

Praying for our Children From Anne Larrick,

In their book, While They Are Sleep-

ing, Anne Arkins and Gary Harrell

write:

One of the most important things we can do for our chil-dren may occur in the still of the night – while all is quiet, and they are sound asleep. That is…to pray for them – faithfully and fervently peti-tioning the Father on their behalf – involving ourselves in the work He is doing in their lives. Prayer changes things…prayer changes peo-ple. There are many times when far greater results come from quiet communion with God than from all the rhetoric available to mankind.

At St. Luke’s in Powhatan, we have started a program called “Keep a child in your prayers”. Mem-bers of the congregation who have no child in Sunday school have been invited to pray for one of our younger

members. The idea is that people will commit to pray for a specific child at least once a week for the year of 2013. We hope that these prayers

will be a comfort to the children, as well as an opportunity for adults to show that they recognize how vital our young people are to our church.

A list of children who currently attend our Sunday school classes or nursery was made available at all services during December. Those willing to

make this commitment signed up beside a child's name. We encour-aged people to reach out to a child they do not know very well and to take the time during the coming year to get to know that child bet-ter.

Early in January the adults were sent some basic information about the child they signed up for and some sample prayers that they may wish to use. The adults were asked to make the effort to intro-duce themselves to their child to let him know they are praying for him and to maintain contact with the child throughout the year to let him know their prayers are continuing.

All children should have heard from their adult by the end of January. If you have any questions about the program, please contact Anne Larrick ([email protected]).

For Youth and Youth Leaders

As many of you know, I have conclud-ed a three-year term as our Convoca-tion lay representative on the Execu-tive Board of the Diocese of Southern Virginia. Though it was a step outside my comfort zone and it did take time and work, I received far more from the experience than I gave.

Learning – I knew I had a lot to learn, but I did know how much I did not know. I became more in-formed about Diocesan programs and ministries, staff, procedures, budget, and church governance. Most importantly, I came to the realization that the Diocese is not us and them. It is only “us” and it is made up of regular people work-ing unselfishly to do God’s will and

support each other (not some mysterious entity or bureaucracy that exists only to perpetuate itself).

Inspiration – You cannot help but be inspired by the amazing peo-ple and amazing ministries in our midst.

Networking – You work with and get to know fellow Episcopalians who face many of the same chal-lenges you do. You formally and informally share and brainstorm strategies for dealing with those challenges.

An opportunity to serve – God has given each of us gifts to share and grow. Serving the larger church is one way to serve God’s people and his church.

The Episcopal Church in Southern Virginia is a diverse Eucharistic community, committed to the Gospel, col-

laborating for strength, innovating for growth, equipping each other to live in the world as disciples of Jesus

Christ. DSVA Vision Statement

Seeing the Episcopal Church in a New Way From Rick Cole

A broader perspective – being around people from the different areas of the diocese with differ-ent viewpoints and priorities helps give you a greater appreci-ation for the needs and assets of our diocese.

New friends!

I conclude my time as an Executive Board member as a better advocate for who we as a Diocese and with a greater appreciation of the boundless potential that we have when we take advantage of opportunities to work together. I encourage you to prayer-fully consider the opportunities to participate in Diocesan activities and on committees or boards.

The Senior Luncheon is now a fifteen year tradition at St. Luke’s. The monthly event is held on the third Tuesday at noon and serves local seniors and resi-dents of the Meadows nursing home in Goochland. This wonderful community project was begun by Charlotte James, in 1998 and has been lovingly carried on by Jackie Cabell, Howdie Markowitz, Connie Harriss, and many, many others who have given their time, their re-sources, and their love to those in need.

Next St. Luke’s Senior Luncheon is February 19

**To prevent the spread of flu or other illnesses, PLEASE REGULARLY WASH YOUR HANDS (or use hand sanitizer) AND TEACH OTHERS TO DO THE SAME!* The “FLU”! Influenza, commonly known as "the flu," is a highly contagious viral infec-tion of the respiratory tract. It affects all age groups, though kids tend to get it more often than adults. In the United States, flu season runs from October to May, with most cases occurring between late December and

early March. That’s a long season and we have not yet reached the “peak”. The best way to prevent the flu is to wash your hands and get a flu shot. Also encourage others who appear to have symptoms to stay home or limit their contact with others. Vac-cinations are still available at local Health Departments. Call today! Remember…flu season lasts until May! Norovirus! Often called the “stomach flu”, No-rovirus causes about 20 million gas-troenteritis cases each year in the United States. There's no vaccine to prevent infection and no drug to treat it. The virus can spread quickly from person to person in crowded, closed places like long-term care facilities, daycare centers, schools, hotels, and cruise ships. People with norovirus illness are contagious from the mo-ment they begin feeling sick until at least 3 days after they recover. If infected and showing symptoms, see your doctor immediately, espe-cially infants or young children. The best prevention is to wash your

St. Luke’s Health Watch From Pam Cole, Parish Nurse

hands frequently! Whooping Cough – Thought it was gone? Think again! Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial disease that causes uncontrollable, violent coughing. A deep "whooping" sound is often heard when the patient tries to take a breath. In past years the disease was most common in infants and young children. Now that most children are immunized before enter-ing school, the higher percentage of cases is seen among adolescents and adults. Infants younger than 18 months of age diagnosed with this disease should be hospitalized as their breathing may temporarily stop during the severe coughing spells. It is recommended that anyone who has not had the vaccine recently be vaccinated, especially adults. Final note: Please, pay attention to any health alerts in the news. They could help prevent you and those you love from becoming sick. If you have questions regarding health is-sues, please contact your healthcare provider.

Dear Parishioners of St. St. Luke’s,

Many, many thanks to the St. Luke’s parish for the wonderful gift of stuffed animals that you donated to the children of the inmates at Deep Meadow Correctional Center. It will certainly bring many smiles to the faces of the little ones, where perhaps there was very little to smile about.

To you all, have a wonderful and joyous Christmas.

Fondly,

Connie (DMCC)

Dear St. Luke’s,

Thanks to all of you. I truly enjoyed opening all of my presents. It was a wonderful blessing. My daughter and I really appreciate everything you all gave us. Many, many thanks.

Happy New Year to You All!

Lucy and daughter.

Hello Christian Friends of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, “God whose love is everywhere, bless you every day, for being so nice in every way.” Your special ways and generous hearts made a beautiful difference for me this Christmas. The gifts were wonderful and very much appreciated and very much needed. Your kind-ness and thoughtfulness will never be forgotten. Thanks to the family that brought the gifts and sharing great conversations and lots of laughter that just brightened my day. May everyone be blessed and have a Happy New Year.

James and my niece Helen
