From the Rector Dear Friends, I hope this newsletter finds you in good health and spirits. Recently, someone stopped me on the patio to say, “Father Mark, I want to join the voices of others and say that I am excited where St. Bart’s is today and where we are headed.” But then the person asked quite simply, “How are we going to get there?”
in generations.” That is grow – not for the sake of growth – but as a body of Christ bursting forth transformed, individually and collectively, feeding others in real tangible ways with the Good News of Jesus Christ. The question remained, how are we going to get there?
A year ago, Peter Stark, Sandra Keithly, and Bill Angus faithfully co-chaired the strategic planning team. As the team began to realize that God’s voice was clearly being heard by the members of the church, it was becoming clearer that God is and continues to call us to be active disciples “proclaiming the Good News, teaching the Good News, and bringing the love of God to all of God’s people in the world.” (This definition actually came from my son’s religion class at school).
When I attended Wheaton College (Norton, MA), the school had just turned a 100-yearold women’s college into a school for men and women. The first years of co-education were hard for everyone (students, teachers, administrators, and alumni). The board of directors had chosen to go co-ed to save the college and turn it around to be a leader. The vision was clear. The road map was not so clear. It was a learning process for everyone. But, the school never wavered, despite countless attempts to derail it.
I’ll never forget what Peter, Sandra, and Bill reminded us in the midst of one of our a-ha moments, as the magnitude of our collective interpretation of God’s voice was realized. They said, “Even if we only accomplish 50% of what is in the plan, we will have accomplished something most parishes have not done
The leaders of the Episcopal Church today are predicting that 50% of all Episcopal Churches will close their doors in the next decade. For the most part, these are parishes that refuse to change, forgot to love and serve others, and simply could not overcome the burdens from their past. From the day I entered continued on page 2
the ordination process and to this very day, I have felt called to be a pastor to parishes that are willing to choose to be relevant and strong for generations to come. I have come to love you, the people of St. Bart’s, because you have demonstrated that same passion.
they moved the school forward year after year. What I also know is that Wheaton College is stronger, more vibrant, a growing, financially-strong and valued community partner that changes lives locally and globally in ways it never could have imagined before. What they never lost sight of was their vision.
We have entered the very early stages of our strategic plan. To be perfectly honest, it’s not all rolling out as easily or quickly as many had hoped, but it is taking traction. It is beginning to see light. When Peter, Sandra, and Bill led us forward last year, they taught us that the real work would be when people felt surprised, and, yes, not comfortable with some of the changes that we charted. Communities naturally resist change. It is normal. And, they reminded us that transforming lives and building community takes work, hard steadfast, faithful, and loving faith in the each other and God, as our response to God’s call.
Our vision is to follow the voice of God into the future. That means us, our parish and those we will welcome and serve, will all be changed over and over again. St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Poway will be a stronger and more powerful witness to the Good News of Jesus Christ. We will be a stronger partner in caring for those in need locally and globally and able to transform more lives with joy, hope, healing, and grace even if we only achieve 50% of our goals. So I invite everyone to make this parish a parish for others – as did Ilene Littlefield (founder) and the Jones family (joined us a few months ago). Together, we will rise up against the despair, hatred, racism, bigotry, cynicism, and fear projected in our press, the world, and in our political parties. We will stand tall, strong, united, and hold the light of Jesus Christ high for all to see. We are more than the people of St. Bart’s – we are children of God, disciples, called to spread the Good News, even at great personal sacrifice in all that we are and become.
I write you today to, hopefully, answer the question on the patio: How are we going to get there? We will do so together – by your participation and lots of hard work. We will build upon rocks (not sand), a sustainable and life-giving Christian community with a balanced budget, professional staff, collective commitment to safe church and safe meeting practices, proactive problem solving, leadership development and rotation, and tremendous patience, compassion, and forgiveness for the work we will do and the people who give themselves to this work. To assist us in being more present to each other, the wardens, clergy, vestry, finance committee, and strategic pillar leaders have all recommitted themselves to communicating what we are working on, our successes, and our failures. One thing I learned from Wheaton College is that despite the hard work, countless surveys, committees, communication, and listening sessions, there was nothing perfect about how

Planned Giving Benefits You and St. Bart’s Mary Ann Bailey was a relatively young widow of 65. Her husband passed away three years ago. She adjusted well to being single, but some aspects of her finances concerned her. The market has been challenging lately and her financial advisor cautioned her not to take more than 3 or 4% annually from her account for income. She could understand the approach, but would like a little bit more for her current expenses. She was very happy with her church and really appreciated guidance that she received during the last three years. She would be delighted if she could find a way to reciprocate. In a situation like Mary Ann’s, there are many issues to consider. Aside from the market there is another big question. How long will a person live? If healthy today, a single person has
Page 2
to plan for a long life. In talking to a member of St Bart’s Planned Giving Ministry, the answer became evident. A tax-favored Charitable Gift Annuity provided the solution. It would furnish a high guaranteed income of possibly 5 to 6% for life, no ups or downs with the market, some current and ongoing income tax benefits, and the church would receive any assets that may remain down the road. If you are interested in learning more about such solutions, please contact Pat Blair with our Planned Giving Ministry at
[email protected] or through the parish office at 858-487-2159.
St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church
Why Insense? You may have noticed during Holy Week the presence of incense at some of our services. What is the purpose of incense? In short, it’s part of the larger purpose of liturgy which is designed to stimulate the worshiper by exciting the senses and feeding our imagination, enabling us to completely focus on our spiritual being in our worship of our Lord. All of our senses come into play. The sights of the altar hangings and vestments, sounds of the spoken word and the beautiful music; the taste of the bread and wine, the touch of exchanging the peace; and the sweet fragrance of the incense combine to create a powerful and mystical worship experience. The incense used at St. Bart’s is a pure hypoallergenic frankincense (one of the three gifts brought to the Christ child by the magi). For those interested in liturgy, here are the points in the service in which incense can be used. • On the entrance into the sanctuary, to purify and prepare the space in anticipation of the arrival of God into our worship. • The priest is censed by the Deacon or Thurifer because the priest himself is to become an instrument through which God acts in the service. • Then the congregation is censed for they are going to receive their communion - God is going to visit them. Through participation in the sacrament, they also are to become instruments through which God acts in the service. They are due honor in their own right as the Mystical Body of Christ through which (with the priest) God acts to become present once more.

You Are Invited God willing and the people consenting The Right Reverend James R. Mathes Bishop of San Diego will ordain Christopher Ross Harris to the Sacred Order of Deacons on the Feast of St. Barnabas the Apostle Saturday, June 11, 2016 10:00 a.m. Saint Paul’s Cathedral 2728 Sixth Avenue San Diego, California Your prayers and presence are requested Reception to follow
• The Gospel is censed because through it God still speaks to us. • At the beginning of Holy Eucharist, the priest censes the altar. The significance of this ceremony is twofold. It symbolizes our preparation for the coming of our King, and also symbolizes the ascent of our penitent prayer for mercy to the throne of grace. It also purifies us to make us worthy to sit at His table in His Heavenly Kingdom. In deference to those unaccustomed to it, incense is used sparingly, and the thurible is brought into the nave only as long as needed. We will make every effort to notify in advance if we intend to use incense as well as offer incense-free alternative

Parishioner Spotlight: The Berger’s Created as a showcase house, Kari Berger’s rental home in Scripps Ranch is a treasure trove of lovely landscaping, wooden interiors, and hidden and not-so-hidden horse paintings and designs. Outside colors and inside spaces exude welcoming warmth. The greatest warmth comes from Kari herself, a parishioner at the 10:15 a.m. service whose intelligence, humor, and quiet confidence are expressed in sparkling eyes and an aura of kindness. Visiting from Indianapolis, her parents sat comfortably on a sofa with their new grandson, Jacob. Eight months old this March, Jacob sat in a position of honor on grandmother’s lap and stared at this visitor with an unwavering gaze that brought to mind an old soul. From his mother’s loving viewpoint, Jacob is “a really, happy contented baby” who “has the cutest laugh I’ve ever heard!”
parishioners. Kari particularly enjoyed the summer Eucharist which was served outside in sweet simplicity: one grape and one goldfish cracker per person! Even though some places “required more effort than others”, she and Kevin always found a church and favorite restaurants to anchor them at home. Kari earned her Master’s degree in Public Health during Kevin’s flight training. She has a “passion for helping communities as a whole to make good choices for their health and financial well-being”. While she hasn’t yet been able to do as much as desired in her chosen field (due to moving and mothering), her resume does include volunteer and paid
Kari’s husband, Kevin, a Marine who pilots the V-22 Osprey out of Miramar, is a man who “loves his church, works incredibly hard at his job, and is passionate about a lot of things” like gardening and music. Having bought a French horn for himself as a post-deployment gift, Kevin enjoys playing for Jacob while delighting in the baby’s reflection on the instrument. Kari grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana and Kevin in Louisville, Kentucky. They met and dated at Purdue University and married in 2009. Kevin’s work in the Marine Corps had them “constantly bouncing all over the country.” They lived in five places – Virginia, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, and San Diego – in six years. Early moves were necessary while Kevin completed the various phases of his pilot training. He earned his “wings” in 2013. While San Diego tops the list of favorite residences, Kari “found something to love about every place” they lived. They

North Carolina was “rough”, living in a “terrible house” in a town that consisted of “pawn shops, tattoo parlors, strip clubs and used car lots”. Texas “was cool”, residing on a barrier island (North Padre Island) where Kari went over the bridge to work on her master’s degree and returned home the same way. Their island church was small with about one hundred

Kari, Jacob and Kevin Berger employment at several different regional offices of the NavyMarine Corps Relief Society. Currently, she works from home for an advocacy group, connecting industry groups with constituents desiring a voice on legislation which is meaningful to both parties. A lobbyist of sorts, Kari helps people write letters to their representatives in Congress. Being able to work from home and get paid, and thereby helping to raise and support her family, is a source of great satisfaction. Completing a cross-country drive from North Carolina to San Diego, Kari and Kevin arrived on base with no place to live. Desiring to attend church, they found St. Bart’s online and first attended on Palm Sunday, 2014, and again at the Good Friday Taize (a service they had long wanted to experience). Coming on Easter they discovered Theology on Tap, a “book and beer club” whose lively discussions, friendships, and overall enjoyment has made this fellowship their “core social group.” For the first time, the church, and not the military, has formed their main community. Kari enthusiastically encourages people to join the group “because it’s always a good time” and is open to all. Constant uprooting is only one factor making the life of a Marine spouse far from easy. Raising a young child alone, while struggling not to succumb to fears for the safety of one’s beloved,

The Breath of Life dramatically alters home life. Kevin first deployed to the Middle East in 2014-15 and by the time this article is published, he’ll be deployed there again. Kari experienced the greater part of her pregnancy during his first deployment. His later training in San Diego had him “in and out” of home. Now, he’ll again be gone for several months; expecting to return in time for the holidays at year’s end. “St. Bart’s has been a huge benefit and support to me and Kevin,” extolls Kari. “I can’t imagine going through more deployment without my church family. It’s been crucial to keeping my sanity for the last deployment and I know I’m going to need it for this one”. How can we help? In her words, it’s “not the big things; it’s the little gestures”. And it’s not the abstract gesture; the “just ask if you need anything” offer. It’s the specific, practical gift of a dinner, a night out, babysitting – acts of kindness that bring solace and hope to a young wife and mother. Kari, Kevin, and Jacob, we wrap you in prayers for comfort, hope, and safe return; giving heartfelt thanks that your beautiful family graces our church community!
OPEN HOUSE INVITATION Mark, Kate, Maya & Marcos McKone-Sweet welcome you to their home Friday, May 20 5 - 8 p.m. More details coming soon
In John 14:15, Jesus promises to send his disciples the Paraclete, a Greek word translated in a few different ways. One way is Advocate. The Holy Spirit advocates for us against the spirit of judgment that seeks to condemn us for our sins. She cheers for us, roots for us, and constantly provides opportunities for redemption. Another way Paraclete is translated is Helper or Comforter. The Spirit helps us to keep the commandments and comforts us in our struggles. Jesus himself defines Paraclete as “that Spirit of truth whom the world can never receive since it neither sees nor knows him; but you know him, because he is with you, he is in you.” (John 14:17) In the Greek, the word for Spirit (pneuma) was essentially synonymous with the word for ‘breath’, while the Hebrew word for ‘breath’ was ruah, implying a more holistic concept along the lines of “breath of life” rather than just the simple mechanical act of breathing in and breathing out. The air we breathe every day is unseen, yet utterly essential. In fact, we usually take our breathing for granted, failing to notice its rhythms. The breath of God’s life - ruah/ pneuma - is given to us through the Holy Spirit, who is with us in such an intimate way that He becomes part of us. God makes His dwelling place within us. The Spirit is “with you, he is in you.” And just like we can take our physical breathing for granted, we can take God’s breathing within us for granted too. Nevertheless, we need only remember the incredible promise that Jesus made to us! In promising to send His Spirit to advocate, help, and comfort us, Jesus has done nothing less than prepare a dwelling place for us in the Trinitarian life of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As members of the Body of Christ, the Holy Spirit is the breath within our Body! The Spirit advocates for the Body, helps the Body, comforts the Body, and ultimately, keeps the Body healthy and alive. So take a deep breath, and be reminded of the Spirit that dwells within you and within the Body of Christ. She lives and moves within us as we live in Holy Communion with God and each other! -John Prust, Youth Director

Sunday School News Thank you to Miss Pippa
Coming up this Summer: VBS
On March 6 we said thank you to Pippa Mills as she stepped down from being the Sunday School Director at St. Bart’s. She was given a special blessing at the end of the 10:15 a.m. service. It was quite touching and all the children participated. Afterward ice cream was enjoyed in the Parish Hall to try and comfort our sorrow. She will be missed by all the children and everyone that has known her at St. Bart’s. She did an awesome job as Sunday School Director here for many years. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Miss Pippa for all your dedication and hard work!

Hosanna in the Highest! Palm Sunday was a wonderful service! Thomas Colden rode Sasha the donkey in the procession into church. What a sight to see! Sasha may be one of the few donkeys that has ever seen the inside of a church. She behaved well and will most likely be asked to return next year. Sasha brought along a few friends so that the children of St. Bart’s could enjoy some pony rides. Sasha’s pony friends were Josie, Hollywood and Toby. The children were able to ride before and after the 10:15 a.m. service.
VBS will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., August 8-12.
He Has Risen Easter was celebrated by the Sunday School children in an eggceptional way! Easter egg hunts were held after the 8 and 10 a.m. services, so everyone had a chance at the hunt and trying to find a Golden Egg! The children also made an edible craft that represented the empty tomb. It was made out of a doughnut, a graham cracker, a vanilla wafer and some green frosting. It was a delicious reminder to them that Jesus rolled the stone away and left the tomb empty!
St. Bart’s Fact or Fiction Answer Chris Harris leaving St. Bart’s is...
FICTION
Flowering of the Cross The Second Sunday of Easter was celebrated on April 3 at the 10:15 a.m. service. The Sunday School children helped the cross come alive by placing beautiful blooms on it!
Chris Harris has been called and is contracted with St Bart’s to serve for several years after his ordination, in fact, a minimum of two years and God willing more (happy face).

St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church Treasurer’s Report – First Quarter 2016 This report is intended to accompany the financial statements of St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, Poway, CA, for March, 2016. For the first quarter of 2016, operating income was $275,040, $207 more than forecast, and essentially on track. Operating expenses for the quarter were $273,896 and $12,977 more than budget due to the acquisition of staff computers, additional wages in Christian education, lack of receipt of any solar rebates so far this year and timing of when certain expenses would be incurred. For the first quarter an operating surplus of $1,144 was realized. Pledge receipts for the quarter were ($7,382) less than forecast or a 3.2% shortfall. Advanced onetime gifts received in support of hiring the new assistant rector totaling $37,500 will be taken to income starting in July and be completed in December. Advanced 2016 pledge receipts totaling $38,550 received in 2015 are being recognized on a monthly basis over the full year. The General Operating Fund balance sheet reflects liquid assets totaling $160,938, payables of $3,016, a reserve for major repairs and replacements of $9,422 and advanced 2016 pledge and non-pledge gifts of $64,500. Therefore, our actual reserve cash totals $84,000 including trusts and bequests in the operating fund. The Preschool shows a year to date operating surplus of $9,334 and total net assets of $189,510. The Outreach Fund at the end of the first quarter reflects Vestry Designated Reserves of $96,082 including $11,000 of thrift shop operating surplus, Thrift shop truck sinking fund of $30,346 and Scholarship funds of $54,736. Temporarily restricted assets total $18,375 comprised primarily of a domestic outreach fund of $14,782. The Endowment Fund shows total net assets of $662,644 including $78,100 of permanently restricted endowment and $368,114 in Vestry designated endowments. Additionally, there is $1,152 in Heide fund earnings available to fund scholarship grants and $40,031.23 in accumulated permanent endowment earnings available to support ministry. The columbarium shows total net assets of $96,452. The Rector’s Funds (Parish Development, Clergy Special Expense, and Pastoral Needs) and associated funds total $22,534. Respectfully submitted, Bill Angus, Treasurer

St. Bart’s Fact or Fiction
Concert Series Presents
Recently, we’ve had a few changes at St. Bart’s (and there are more to come - did you read From the Rector on page 1?), so we thought it would be helpful to start a column dedicated to confirming or debunking some of the stories you may have heard. Ready to play?
St. Bartholomew’s welcomes the 2016 H.B. Goodlin Scholarship Competition winners for a special concert on Sunday, May 15 at 4 p.m. These young instrumentalists and keyboardists come from different areas of San Diego County, but share a love of music and a dedication to their talent.
FACT
This concert marks the final concert of the St. Bartholomew’s 2015-2016 Concert Series. It’s not to be missed!
FICTION
Brown Bag & Bingo: Big Winner
FACT or FICTION #1: Chris Harris will be ordained on June 11 at St. Paul’s Cathedral (that’s fact, it’s on page 3). We heard that Chris will not remain at St. Bart’s once he’s ordained (sad face). Fact or fiction? answer on page 6

The first Saints Alive Brown Bag & Bingo was a huge success, especially for Jeane Livesey who won several games! Don't be left out! Join us on May 23 for our next Brown Bag & Bingo lunch and mark your calendar for every fourth Monday at 11 a.m. Bring your lunch. We'll provide the desserts and drinks and several rousing games of BINGO!
