The Rector Speaketh:

On January 24th, we had a successful Annual Meeting that was very

well attended. Within the Annual Report, we had an incredible number

of ministry reports that tell of all the wonderful things God is doing

through the people of Trinity on the Hill. I am continually amazed that

I can serve this wonderful parish!

During my report, I mentioned one area of growth that I believe God is

calling us to explore as a parish. Most of us know the perils of living

lives too busy and overbooked. But how many of us can say we spend

too much time in prayer? In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus visits the home

of Mary and Martha. Martha is too worried about all that needs to be

done while Mary sits at the feet of Jesus. When Martha is upset at

Mary, Jesus offers this response: “Martha, Martha, you are worried

and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary

has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”

Lent is nearly upon us, and we will be given the chance to “choose the

better part”, as Jesus said. To that end, I have created a booklet called

“A Brief Manual for Daily Prayer” that will be free for all members of

Trinity on the Hill. It contains three brief devotions to be used

at 9am, Noon, and 3pm. I am committing to praying at those hours

each day, and I invite you to

commit as well. Imagine with

me all the members of Trinity

on the Hill pausing briefly to

pray at the same time, united in

spirit though separated by dis-

tance. If you can’t commit to all

three, that’s fine. Join in what

you can. A parish that prays to-

gether will thrive in the Spirit.

Peace,

Chris+

Starting the New Year

You can’t hit January without being surrounded by ads and articles proclaiming it’s the start of a new year

--- and the opportunity to lose weight, exercise more, finally replace the window in the family room, price

new car tires, and get that book read. It’s definitely a new year within the family at Trinity on the Hill, but

how we handle our new year is somewhat in the air.

My father has always claimed that every time he was on TDY, he came home elected to some office. He’d

been in Beirut when he came back to Frankfurt as Senior Warden of St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church.

Being somewhat spoiled, I enjoyed a lovely luncheon, a well-attended parish meeting, and a very short

vestry meeting last Sunday even much closer to home. I do, however, have the same opportunity as my

father enjoyed by becoming a Senior Warden.

Give some thought to just a few of the many blessings we share:

A carefully-planned balanced budget – but with some limitations

Full membership of our vestry – but needs for ministry chairs, yet alone helpers (Do you know

who they all are?)

Gifted and talented parish members – but with active lifestyles and demands outside of 3900 Trini-

ty Drive

Responsibly-studied capital projects – but not the budget to fund every good idea we’ve heard at

coffee hour

Great activities – but perhaps not the quiet times needed to pray,

reflect or study

Opportunities for new activities – but lack of support for basic needs

of services and teaching

Interesting ideas floating among the aisles at Smith’s – but not neces-

sarily shared with ministries or the vestry . . . . .

Balancing life at TOTH needs the help of all of us and perhaps some modifi-

cation of how we’ve ALWAYS done them (we are Episcopalians). Please

consider how you can help with shared ideas and your energy - carefully

praying for knowledge, understanding and balance with the family.

FROM THE JUNIOR WARDEN

Hello Trinity on the Hill, this is Mark Hartman, stand by for NEWS.

Well, following our Parish Annual Meeting, 2015 is now officially his- (or hers-, you choose) tory. So,

what do you remember of it? Passed pretty quickly, kind of a blur if you were to ask me, but I am not

inviting that, at the moment. Let’s all revel in the Hope for a new year. New enthusiasm, new

ministries, new activities in our parish community, new projects, new uses for rooms in our facility?

You know, speaking of that Annual meeting, do you remember when that one guy went up to the

podium and then started to choke when he tried to talk, and had to reach for a glass of water? That was

funny eh? Ok, now let’s forget that ever happened and get on to other things.

We have some new faces on the Vestry, and of course, some have ended their valued term of service,

but I will be the guy entrusted to watch over the building that houses our beloved parish for yet another

year. Alright, I volunteered for this, so address any complaints appropriately. But seriously folks, a new

year beckons, let’s get to work.

Our adopted budget for 2016 is not allowing for much in the way of major projects, but I wish to solicit

your input if there is anything that it appears we are not working on. If there is something you think is

needed for our well being, then let’s meet to open a discussion. Getting something done is rarely

impossible, though, it requires some effort, some commitment and sometimes, additional funding.

Come see me, call me, or send a message to me or another member of the Vestry, if you have any ideas

to make our church better.

January went pretty well. Nothing major to report in the way of things breaking. In February we are

planning to ask for some carpet cleaning in the education wing, we will need some help moving

furniture or other contents of a couple of the rooms. Call or write if you can participate in this. I have

been asked to implement some slight remodeling in the choir room, and again, I could use some help

with that. We will be fastening new book shelves to the wall there. Coming soon to the ground floor,

new “Robing Rooms” for the Choir.

Winter is still present in Los Alamos and believe it or not there are still

some opportunities for you to sign up and help with the shoveling and

ice control. Please contact Richard Triplett or me, or stop by the office

to ask how you may join the fun in service to our church. Richard has

also created an online sign up feature on the ToTH website so there are

many ways for you to get your name in and volunteer to help keep our

stairs and walkways clear of snow and ice.

OK, TK is waiting, it’s late on a Sunday night, I am late for my

deadline, again. So I bid you a adios and raise you a dieu, and then call.

Goodbye for now. Keep those cards and letters coming folks.

Mark Hartman your Junior Warden

Thanks to our 2015 Wardens for a GGGRRREEEAAATTT Job!

For the Record…

No baptisms, confirmations, weddings or burials were performed in January 2016

SOUPER BOWL OF CARING (24th annual for TOTH) - FEBRUARY 7th!! "If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of

God be in him?" (1 John 3;17) The Souper Bowl movement began with the youth group of one church in South Carolina and has since

raised over a million dollars to support local food banks and soup kitchens all over the country. Each con-

gregation chooses who to support with their offerings and 100% goes to that charity. We have set a goal of

$300 this year to be given to LA Cares, and are giving everyone the opportunity to participate. No one is to

sit on the bench! Please be prepared to drop a dollar (or more!) in the Soup Pot as you come forward for

Communion on Sunday, February 7.

February 7th is also First Sunday Food Sunday, so we will be reporting to the National Souper Bowl of

Caring the number of items collected as well. Especially needed by LA Cares at this time are healthy cere-

als, 100% juice, canned chicken and other meats, peanut butter, hearty or chunky soups. They are also short

on household supplies such as laundry and dish soap and toilet paper. LA Cares serves nearly 90 families

each month through their distribution of food boxes.

Thank you for your generosity - LA Cares and those whom they feed are most appreciative!

The Mother’s Musings

Lent is almost upon us. Do you look forward to Lent? I have to admit that in some ways I do and in some

ways I don’t. Lent is the time when I can deepen my relationship with God; get to know Him better; grow

closer. That part is very rewarding and fulfilling. The other part is the hard part, because Lent means that

this is a penitential season. It is time for me to own up to my failings and faults, and confess daily and

deeply my inadequacies before God. It is the time of year when I will deprive myself of something I enjoy,

whether it is food or beverage, or entertainment. I will add study and meditation time to my schedule. It

will be more difficult this year, because Doug and I will be traveling for part of Lent, and keeping a Holy

Lent in a 24 foot RV while on the road is not easy. But I will do my best. And I will celebrate in my heart

that I am able to serve God and that He accepts me as His child.

Father Chris will keep a discipline called “A Brief Form of Daily Prayer,”

each day during Lent, at 9am, 12 noon, and 3pm. I am going to do this too, to

the best of my ability during my travels. God willing, I will keep to the sched-

ule. It will be a good discipline. I ask you to join in also. It is a simple sched-

ule to keep and one that will help you keep a Holy Lent. Be sure to come to

one of the services on Ash Wednesday and to the soup suppers, classes and

services on Thursdays during Lent. They are great times of fellowship, learn-

ing and worship.

Then, when we have kept a Holy Lent, cleansed our hearts and minds through

prayer, and made ourselves ready, we can move toward the glorious celebra-

tion of Easter, which is at the heart of our Christian life. It is truly a beautiful

time of year, as we move through Lent and toward the resurrection. I pray that

you have a fulfilling and rewarding Lent, and that you find God ever more in

your life.

In Christ,

Mother Louise Weiss

Seminarian Update

Thank you for all the prayers, encouragement, and support as I have gone through the ordination process! I

really could not have done it without you!

For those who don’t know, I have completed my last class and took the ordination exams (“GOEs”) in Jan-

uary. I should find out the results of the test no later than March 1st. It is uncommon for someone to obtain

“proficient” in all of the canonical areas (Scripture, History, Theology, Ethics, Pastoral Care, and Liturgy).

The diocese has said that a score of "not-proficient” in a few of the areas will not impact their decision to

ordain me. Instead, they would develop a plan for me to get stronger in those areas to be completed during

my Diaconate year (for example, It writing a paper, working with someone in the DRG, taking another

class, etc.).

On March 16th or 17th, I will meet with the Commission on Ministry of the Baptized (COMB). If they put

me forward, I will meet with the Standing Committee on April 20th. If they recommend me for ordination,

I will be ordained as a transitional deacon on June 4th at the Cathedral in Albuquerque. About a year

after that (plus or minus 6 months) I should be ordained a priest.

Of course, this is all God willing and the creek don’t rise :-).

OUTREACH MINISTRY UPDATE

Since ministries got little time on the Agenda at the Annual Meeting, I'd like to urge everyone to read our

reports beginning on page 27 [of the 2015 TOTH Annual Report]. Apparently from the show of hands, a

very small number of attendees had read the report ahead of the meeting. To me, Outreach Ministry re-

lates closely to the second of the two Great Commandments ("Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.")

Therefore, I believe EVERY member of our parish should play some role in this ministry!

If I did have to go to the mike for a report (which to tell the truth, I'm relieved!), I had a few things to say.

I would have thanked Seminarian Laurie for her sermon on helping the poor (whether in reality or spiritu-

ally). I would have mentioned Fr. Chris's admonition "Friends, life is short, and we do not have much time

to gladden the hearts of those in need. So remember the poor, the friendless, and the needy . . " And I

would have prayed the words of Hymn #782, stanzas 2 & 3:

Word made flesh, who gave up glory to become our great high priest,

taking on our human nature to redeem the last and least:

let your courage and compassion shape and guide our ministries;

as our Savior and our Shepherd, lead us to the truth that frees.

Loving God, who birthed creation from the nothingness of space,

kindling life where all was empty, turning chaos into grace:

when we feel confused and fruitless, dawn upon our restless night;

give us faith's imagination, hope's renewing, love's delight.

I was also going to ask for a round of applause for the Shop on the Corner ladies for their selfless efforts

to enable Trinity on the Hill to reach out to many others, through their taking in over $25,000 in sales in

2015! In addition they were able to pass on to other outlets hundreds of bags of unsaleable goods. Please

note the lists of grants posted around the church - the results of their labors.

Finally, I would have reminded you all that we have a fantastic opportunity to give of ourselves by com-

mitting to help Habitat for Humanity this spring as they construct their first house in Los Alamos, just a

few blocks away from our church, which will be the home of parishioners Ivette Martinez and her son Ru-

ben. Over the years, several people have told me they would support such a project closer to home before

they would travel to Juarez or somewhere else for a mission trip. Here's your chance! More information

will be given out soon, and some is already available in the office. To start, anyone can register with Hab-

itat right now. (Forms are in the TOTH office). Thanks to those who have already helped with site prepa-

ration.

Faithfully,

Cathy Walters

A New One Year Adult Education Course of Study

I had started an EfM program here at TOTH a couple of years ago. It became a very intense and connect-

ed group over the course of a year. However, there were some drawbacks that caused the class to not

continue. One was the requirement of that program to maintain a minimum number of students. The class

size dwindled with time and there was not enough interest to replace the lost students. One very big issue

related to that was the amount of time required each week from the students for reading textbooks, the

Bible and completing a workbook and also attending a two hour class. This fall I got back together with

that very fine group of ladies and told them how much I had enjoyed working with them. I had been

looking for a project that would have a similar feel to that class, but would not be as much of a time or

financial commitment.

One book I had come across was part of a series of study called The New Church Teaching Series. One

of the ladies brought to my attention that the entire course had been presented here at TOTH about ten

years ago. She brought the whole series of books to me from our library and I began to think further. I

am going to run that series again in a different format.

Starting in January, I began leading what will be a discussion of each book in that series, going through

the series in order on the third Sunday of each month. This means that each student will only be asked to

read one small book each month and attend one forty-five minute class on the material one time a month.

The schedule is as follows:

January 17th The Anglican Vision by James E. Griffiss,

February 21st Opening the Bible by Roger Ferlo,

March 20th Engaging the Word by Michael Johnston,

April 17th The Practice of Prayer by Margaret Guenther,

May 15th Living with History by Fredrica Harris Thompsett,

June 19th Early Christian Traditions by Rebecca Lyman,

July 17th Opening the Prayer Book by Jeffrey Lee,

August 21st Mysteries of Faith by Mark McIntosh,

September 18th Ethics After Easter by Stephen Holmgren,

October 16th Christian Social Witness by Harold T. Lewis,

November 20th Horizons of Mission by Titus Presler and on

December 18th A Theology of Worship by Lewis Weil.

Everyone is invited to attend all of these discussions or you can pick out the books that really interest

you and just read them and sit in on those mornings. All these books are available for purchase on Ama-

zon and some are in the Mesa Library. The costs range from $8.00 to $13.00 per book. I will be using the

set from the library here at TOTH, but I could make arrangements to share them.

If you are interested, please contact me at 505-402-7628 or kdreamtrader@gmail.com. Of course you are

welcome to just drop by on the third Sunday of any month! I hope to see you there!

A New Adult Education Series Continuing in February

Face to Face with God: The Incredible Richness of Eastern Spirituality

God became man so that man might become god. (St. Athanasius)

For two thousand years, the Orthodox Church has maintained that everyone can see the face of God, that

everyone is destined to be a saint. Our brothers and sisters in the Eastern Church call this theosis, the

union of the person with God, and they consider it an eminently achievable and even necessary goal.

Starting in January, Steve Younger will lead a series of ten discussions on the spirituality of the Eastern

Orthodox Church. Together we will explore a wide range of topics in Orthodox thought that can bring

each of us closer to God. These include:

The Jesus Prayer: Ten words that change lives

To see the face of God – icons as windows into a deeper reality

The Eucharist as a direct encounter with Christ

Living the Bible with the first Christians

Total immersion in God: The experience of the Desert Fathers and Mothers

Practical instructions on finding God: Eastern mystics speak to us today

How Anglicans build on their Orthodox heritage

The series will include film clips, suggestions for further reading and, for those who may miss a Sunday,

handouts that summarize what was discussed.

There is great depth and beauty in Orthodox spirituality which is, after all, the foundation of our Angli-

can tradition. Come and share in this exploration of our Orthodox heritage!

When and where: Every Sunday at 9:30, January 31- April 10 (except Easter), in Sherrill Hall.

WHAT IS A “DEANERY”???

By Karen Humphrey

Lately, I have had several people ask me--What is Deanery? What does the Deanery do? Who attends?

-- so I thought I’d send along some information on this mystery.

A Deanery is a geographical section within a Diocese. These Deanery areas then incorporate all the par-

ishes within that Deanery area. Would you believe that the Bishop has a lot of work to do in a Diocese?

How does he do that? He enlists the help of the Deans and Deaneries.

The Dean of a Deanery is usually clergy of one of the Deanery parishes, and is always appointed by the

Bishop to lead and oversee the work of the Deanery. The Dean is responsible for the spiritual, academ-

ic, and fiscal aspects of the Deanery. Deans are part of the Diocesan Council so they are part of the

communication network because they bring Diocesan information to their part of the world. Did you

know that the Very Rev. Michael Olsen of St. James Taos is the newly appointed Dean of the NE

Deanery? Each parish has two to three delegates, elected at their Annual Meeting, to serve a three-year

term. They will be attending both the quarterly Deanery meetings and the yearly Convention as voting

members along with the clergy. You might consider serving as a Deanery representative in the future.

Duties of the Dean include

Responsible for convening regular meetings of the Deanery;

Presiding at meetings;

Initiating projects and programs;

Promotion and coordination of the common pastoral activity within the deanery;

Seeing that religious functions follow Church norms;

Making sure that the priests of the deanery have access to spiritual helps and aid in difficult pastoral

circumstances;

Approving all funding.

The Diocese of the Rio Grande has four Deaneries—NE, NW, SE, SW. The parishes within the NE

Deanery are :Church of the Holy Faith, Santa Fe; Holy Family, Santa Fe; Holy Trinity, Raton; St.

Bede’s, Santa Fe; St. James, Taos; St. Jerome’s, Chama; St. Paul’s Peace, Las Vegas; St. Stephen’s,

Espanola; and Trinity on the Hill, Los Alamos.

Who are the representatives at the Deanery?

All clergy within Deanery parishes/missions

All Junior and Senior Wardens of each parish

All the duly elected representatives--the number established by the Diocese depending on parish

congregational numbers (derived from annual Parochial Reports).

All these people above are the voting representatives of the Deanery, and if these people do not repre-

sent a parish at meetings, their parish is losing out on fellowship, funding, and ministry.

(Continued on page 12)

TRINITY TIDINGS

Each Deanery is allocated $5K for congregational development or special needs within the Deanery. The

Deanery encourages Deanery-wide activities to promote Deanery fellowship. Ideas are welcome at any

time; just tell us what you want the Deanery to do. Some ideas set forth were study programs, something

for fun, good works, meet other times to get to know each other, workshops, and fellowship time, rather

than just doing business.

The NE Deanery congregations are widely scattered due to many rural locations, so neighboring congre-

gations may plan a get together that would be funded by the Deanery. Activity suggestions have been var-

ied. Some examples of the meetings held at different places may include a work party, a remembrance cel-

ebration of the life of WWII hero The Rev. Ted Howden, and various educational presentations.

In the beautiful Bishop’s Ridge and Camp Stoney wilderness each Deanery hosts a week-long program of

Christian camp. The NE Deanery is scheduled to host the week of June 26-July 2, 2016. Volunteers are

urgently needed during this week, either all week long if you can donate that time, or daily if you can

spare a day, so please consider how you can help support the youth of our parishes.

The Poverty and Outreach Board (POB) continues to award funding based on approved applications. Each

Deanery acts as the initial gatekeeper to review the applications, and then those applications go to the Dio-

cese POB for funding approval and disbursement. Does your ministry need funding? The Deanery is the

place to start. Funding stays within the Deanery area.

Another Deanery activity is Clericus where the Deanery clergy meet together every other month. Because

of our widespread Deanery area, these ministers need the opportunity to get together for networking.

Well I think I’ve covered it. Hope it is as clear as mud! The Dean and I are always happy to talk about our

Deanery so just ask! Visitors are always welcome at Deanery meetings, too, and attending is a good way

to meet some of your fellow parishioners from other Churches. It is always fun for me to visit the Deanery

parishes and see those whom I have met at meetings.

Did you know--Clergy who serve as Deans hold the title "The Very Reverend” throughout their term as

Dean? They may also wear a distinctive piping (colored trim) on the cassock.
