January 6 marks the arrival of the Magi; who traveled from exotic, faraway lands to adore the baby Jesus. Scripture tells us their gifts were gold, frankincense, and myrrh. We celebrated at St. Luke's on January 2nd. One custom of the season is the king cake - actually a ring-shaped pastry - to symbolize a crown. It is frosted with purple (for royalty), gold (one of the gifts), and green (for the growth of the church beyond the Jewish world.) This year Julia Hossack was the first to find the little baby hidden in the king cake at coffee hour. Tradition says that she will have good luck all year; and she must host next year’s celebration. We won’t hold her to that part. Two other babies were found later, one by our Rector, Fr. David, and the other by Paul Vilandre. There was a lot of nice dessert and royalty around St. Luke’s! Many Thanks to our Welcoming Committee: Lisa Nunlist, Gwen Letson, Terri Radford, Farley Green and Cary Miller.
Our diocesan Beloved Community Working Group and Creation Care Working Group are teaming up to offer a diocesan-wide Book Study opportunity! The book is “Shalom and the Community of Creation: An Indigenous Vision” by Randy Woodley, and there will be three virtual
groups available to join.

News & EventsHere are upcoming events and the latest news from the Diocese:

Winter 2022
More information and the event flyer can be found here. Women's Guild February 1, 10:30 a.m.
The Women’s Guild has been an important part of our church family, raising money at the Snowflake Faire to help the church and local charities, keeping the kitchen and coffee hour organized, helping out whenever asked at church events, and supporting all the women of the church in various ways. However, in the past five years, our membership has dwindled.
On Tuesday, February 1 at 10:30, we will be envisioning a new and better Women’s Group at St. Luke’s. Please come to participate in this discussion. Bring your ideas, your opinions, (and a sack lunch). We can make this group any way we want it to be. If you have any thoughts on this but can’t attend this meeting, please call or email Marcia Siring (360-929-1515; marciasiring@msn.com) or Barbara Webb (208-651-2405; bjwebbbwebb@gmail.com) and share them with us.
you may want to consider joining Diocesan Canons Sara Gunter and Andrea Farley, for four prayer gatherings. These virtual gatherings will offer a space to pray together and also practice forms of prayer that may be new to us. Each gathering will have a similar structure that includes time for extemporaneous prayer and silence, but each will also have a specific form of prayer we will be exploring and experiencing together. Absolutely everyone is welcome, kids, tweens, teens, young adults, families, couples, and individuals, as well as any friends outside the Episcopal community who may be interested.
2nd and 4th Thursdays in January and February, 7-8:30pm
To sign up, please register in advance. Church Re-Engages Cautiously in Outreach and Discussion
