The director of an Episcopal camp cen-ter once said to me, “People have their lives changed here more often than they do at home in their parish churches.”

Being a new parish priest at the time, I was highly offended by his remark. However, after 35 years in ministry, I believe he is correct. The routine of parish life is important and meaning-ful, but for those real “mountaintop experiences,” you can’t beat a time of quiet and reflection in the great outdoors.

Fortunately, the Diocese of Arizona is blessed with such a resource in our conference center at Chapel Rock in Prescott. Here, generations of Arizona Episcopalians have attended summer camp, a vestry retreat, or a diocesan gathering. In many, many cases, they have come away with their minds broaden and their spirits lifted.

In early March, I was part of two such gatherings at Chapel Rock. The first was a retreat held with the priests

WHERE TO CHANGE YOUR LIFEof the diocese, both active and retired. Our leader was the nation-ally renowned Franciscan writer, Fr. Richard Rohr. Many who came had read one or more of his books, and thus attendance was at an all-time high, so many in fact, that the camp could not accommodate them all for an overnight stay. Fr. Rohr did not disappoint, and there were more than a few who used the term “life changing” to describe their time with him. No sooner had the priests left, than the diocesan staff gathered and welcomed more than 100 lay leaders of the diocese to hear the Congrega-tional Development officer from the Diocese of Texas, Mary MacGregor, instill in them a new sense of the privilege they have to use their talents to the service of God in their congregations. One new vestry mem-ber told me, “I came here anxious and confused about what I was sup-posed to do as vestry member. I am leaving with a new confidence and even a sense of joy.”

These adults added their testimoni-als to those of hundreds of camp kids from ages 5-18 who tell me they look forward to camp all year long. On a survey given out last year, over 90% of these young campers said that

they had “given their life to Christ.” Clearly, Chapel Rock is one of the most effective tools for evangelism we have.

Sadly, the vast majority of our diocese has never been to Chapel Rock. The camp is often mistakenly imagined as a place just for kids, or a venue for those who want to “rough it.” Nothing could be further from the truth! The camp boasts excellent facilities including motel-style rooms with comfortable beds and private baths, as well as some of the best food in Prescott (a former executive chef from the famous Hassayampa Inn sees to that!). Finding spiritual enlightenment does not always mean mortification of the flesh!

So, I invite all of you to become more involved in the life of your camp. Sign up for a program (check their website at www.chapelrock.net), send your young people in the summer, support a camper with a scholarship or just drop by for a visit. Who knows, your life might even be changed!

TAKING ASHES INTO THE STREETSBY NICOLE KRUGCANON FOR MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS

On Ash Wednesday, nearly 20 churches around the Diocese of Arizona participated in a fast-growing, nationwide initiative where clergy and lay people visited transit stops, street corners, coffee shops, and college campuses to mark the foreheads of interested passers-by with ashes. For centuries, Christians have received a cross of ashes on the face at the beginning of Lent as a reminder of mortal failings and an invitation to receive God’s forgiveness. Ashes to Go provided the opportunity to participate in that tradition for people who have lost their connection to a church, or have never participated before. More information about Ashes to Go can be found at www.AshesToGo.org. Here are some pictures of our churches out in their communities. Media coverage of the day can be viewed on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/azdiocese).

SAINTS AND SUPERHEROES!BY JANA SUNDIN, DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN’S MINISTRIES

What is it you like to do best? What are you good at? Where is God in all of that?

After consulting theologians, developmental special-ists, play therapists, and other experts in children’s spiritual formation, I’m happy to report that my findings confirm my suspicions: The things that give us joy, the things we seem uniquely equipped to do in the world, are planted within us by God. What we do when we’re playing, enjoying life, and engaging in what we love can be gifts to the world. These gifts are our Saintly Superpowers!

This summer at Chapel Rock, children will be learning about a variety of Christian saints. In the stories of the saints, the children will hear stories of regular people who had gifts and great big flaws, and whom God used to change the world in small and large ways. Thomas Merton said, “For me, to become a saint means to become myself.” Children will see their own lives reflected in the stories of the saints, and will come to identify their own gifts that God uses to heal the world—their own Saintly Superpowers.

Camp offers many opportunities for children to grow in faith and in friendship through story and prayer, through personal connections with cabin groups, through gaining new skills and confidence on the ropes course, and through lighthearted competition and play at the water carnival. Camp is a remarkable experience of Christian community that stays with campers long after the summer ends. As part of the Communion of Saints, each child in this diocese has a gift to share with the rest of us, and I’m so excited to witness them discover their Superpowers.

Please join us at Chapel Rock as we have a super, saintly summer! To register, go to www.ChapelRock.net.

CRAZYFUN!!!!


BY JESSE VILLEGAS, JR.DIRECTOR OF YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULT MINISTRIES

If there one thing to be excited about, it is what’s going to happen at Chapel Rock this summer. I encourage all churches to rally up the youth, and get your students to camp. This is not only going to be an incredible experi-ence, but also a spiritual investment with lifelong implications.

I am very proud to say that the camp staff has been working diligently on creating a stellar program. As a Cha-pel Rock camp veteran, it has been a privilege to be part of the formation of a first-class camp. I have complete and utter confidence in camp’s lead-

ership, and the stewardship all the gifts and talents.

The main goal of any well-run camp program is making sure the youth have the time of their lives. Sum-mer camp is a much-needed break from the academic year and where creativity, adventure, thrills, smiles and plain old good times are at our disposal. However, the priority is to connect with Jesus in such a way that it warrants a change of heart.

My favorite quote from a Chapel Rock camper was “this week not only changed my life, but it gives me hope to go home and love my family like I have been loved here at camp.” Simply put, our job at camp is to do

everything in our power to prepare something special. The divine en-counters with the creator of the earth are beyond our works. We know that and we want you to know that. It’s by faith and grace we all celebrate what happens at camp.

So again, somehow, someway, get the youth to camp. It is sure to be the best summer of their lives!

CAMP 60’SMore or Less

Monday, July 27 thruFriday, July 31, 2015

Chapel RockPrescott, Arizona

Camp 60’s More or Less is a fun spiri-tual summer camp for adults – we’ve had campers between 42 and 96. It’s like the summer camp fun of your childhood with all of the amenities of a deluxe hotel.

It’s a welcoming camp where you can rest, relax, reflect, refresh, rejuvenate and renew yourself in a Christian setting. Camp wouldn’t be camp without a talent show, an exciting music program, arts and crafts, time for meditation and of course, amaz-ing food!

The theme of this year’s Camp 60’s More or Less is Religions: Mytholo-gies, Legends and Customs. On Tues-day morning, our presenter – adjunct faculty member at Pima Community College, Carenn Olson – will begin with the Ancient Mainstream Reli-gions ~ Mesopotamian, Greek and Roman and the Nature Religions – Paganism, Celtic and Druidism. On Wednesday morning, Carenn will lead us through Judaism – Old Testa-ment, the Epic of Gilgamesh, Noah and the Flood and the Torah and Christianity – New Testament and the Trinity. On Thursday morning, we will discuss Islam – Mohammed, Messenger of God and the Five Pillars of God and concluding with the Con-temporary Influences – Archaeology, Astrology, and Science with a final

wrap-up and question session. This may seem like a really full program, but Ms. Olson has taught this very agenda as a Humanities course.

This year is the 30th Anniversary of Camp 60’s! Thirty years ago, Camp 60’s was inspired by a request from The Rt. Rev. Joseph Thomas Heistand, Third Bishop of Arizona. Many people were involved in the inception of Camp 60’s and we will be honoring them (some of whom have been forgotten in name but we will never forget the spirit of those who were so intrinsic in the formation of this wonderful tradi-tion. We will be extending special invitations to as many of these individuals as we are able to locate – so come help us honor them and those who have passed on, leaving us this legacy.

Camp 60’s More or Less is hosted at Chapel Rock conference facilities in Prescott, Arizona, where you’ll ex-perience a breath of fresh mountain air, with the scent of pines, a vista of massive boulders and nearby mountains, and a mild climate. Rooms include comfy beds, private baths and accessible accommoda-tions. Food is prepared by a profes-sional cooking staff with a reputa-tion for delicious and healthy meals served buffet style in the dining

hall. This is really like “camping” at Club Med…definitely NOT your kids’ camp.

As always, you can join in as much or as little as you wish. It’s your week to enjoy time with other campers or just kick back and relax in the incredible beauty of the Chapel Rock campus.

The purpose of Camp 60’s is to get you away from daily inter-ruptions and help you develop a closer relationship with God.

tion in Southern Arizona in collabora-tive relationships with the Old Pascua Yaqui village in Tucson. This ministry was partially funded by The Episco-pal Church Mission Enterprise Zone funding with a $20,000 grant matched by the Diocese. Recently, St. Francis in-the-Valley in Green Valley brought to-gether members of the Tucson Flute so-ciety and members of the congregation in a flute clinic that has blossomed into developing a traditional music program for youth in the after school program. St. Matthew’s formed relationships with the village, and just last December hosted the Posadas where Silent Night was sung in English, Spanish and Yaqui along with other traditional songs. An estimated 125 people attended this traditional ceremony and pledged to take part in the Posadas for the next seven years. St. Matthew’s will be at-tending the Lenten ceremonies in Old Pascua and will continue to engage in activities that will help them to become better acquainted. The Deer Dancers also dedicated the new labyrinth at St. Matthew’s during its 50th anniver-sary celebration with Bishop Smith. And Christ the King and St. Matthew’s are the new home for two Women’s Talking Circles that will be gathering monthly beginning in May.

The Rev. Debbie Royals, Pascua Yaqui, may be new to this position as the Di-rector of Native American ministry but the ministry is not new in the Diocese. We hope to see our links to our neigh-boring Native American communities and linking Native people living in our urban areas to ministries that will help us all grow in response to this ministry. Rev. Debbie plans to visit the churches in the diocese in a traditional way – the four sacred directions – throughout the year. Please be in touch with her directly with questions, comments or if you are currently involved in Native American ministry. She may be reached by email at [email protected].

January 1, 2015 began a new era for Na-tive American ministry in the Diocese of Arizona. Bishop Smith established a staff position in a bold move that has not gone unnoticed. At the January 2015 Province VIII Winter Talk held in Reno, Nevada, the gathered Na-tive people from all over Province VIII passed a resolution honoring Bishop Smith for this move.

Native American ministry is not new to this diocese. And there have been many ways in which Native Ameri-can ministry has manifested through congregations who have felt called to this work. The Northeast Regional Par-ish was once the central clearinghouse for Native American ministry and once hosted the national Paths Crossing Conference. For the last several years, the Program Group for Native Ameri-can ministry – led by The Rev. Vivian Winter Chaser, Lakota and The Rev. Dorothy Saucedo, Navajo – have led the efforts throughout the diocese.

Native American ministry has taken many forms. Congregations have trav-eled to the Area Mission of Navajoland to work on projects, build relationships

and to lead summer vacation bible camps. Some members of the diocese visited Navajoland via a “tour-like” experience in an effort to discover more about the Navajo Nation. We have a Companion Diocese relationship with the Navajoland Area Mission, and you will be hearing more about how this relationship will move forward and help both communities grow.

There have been pastoral responses to Native people in local hospitals, and there was even a time when families were provided a safe place to stay while they were away from their home base. Additionally, students attending our colleges and universities have at con-nected with other students and Native American leaders.

For years congregations have support-ed a ministry in Bylas on the San Carlos Apache Reservation providing blankets especially to elders who have no source of heat in the winter. This ministry has captured the hearts of many through-out the diocese.

For the last two years, there has been a growing ministry linking congrega-

NATIVE AMERICAN MINISTRYBY BREE RICHMOND

One of the things I love the most about being an Episcopalian is the deep sense of inclusivity I have felt since joining the church. Warm, wel-coming and sincere, I have been in awe of the stunning ease with which stereotypes have been shattered for me time and time again. Our congre-gation is nothing if not diverse, being comprised of all ages, races, sexes and identities. And we all accept one another as children of God and even as chosen family members. But until very recently, a large component of our parish family was being denied certain rights that others of us take for granted.

Arizona had denied marriage rights to same-sex couples until October 17, 2014. That day, a federal judge struck down Arizona’s ban on gay marriage and cleared the way for legally recog-nized same-sex unions in the state. Several of our parishioners – and even some of our clergy members – were finally able to wed. Our deacon, The Rev. Jefferson Bailey, married his partner Richard Steen on Decem-ber 4; our outgoing treasurer Anne

Bowen married her partner Chris Bondante on December 6; and on January 10 of this year, St. Andrew’s former Rector, The Rev. Bob Williams, married his partner Rick Ba-glione. All three couples have been together for more than 20 years and are wonderful demonstrations of the love that is so fundamental to our faith.

In February, on the day after Valentine’s Day, we held our first “Celebration of Love” to honor the fact that every-one could now stand side-by-side in the bonds of marriage. Along with a dozen or so couples, I renewed my vows to my wonderful husband, and it felt so amazing to witness the out-pouring of love from other couples, gay or straight, newly wed as well as those who had been together forever. After mass, we all celebrated with cake and champagne. Someone even wore her wedding dress! It truly was a triumphant occasion and victorious moment for marriage equality.

We’ve all done it and many continue to do so every day.

Are you one of the many folks who carries credit card debt from month to month, paying the minimum payment or a little more? The average annual percentage rate (APR) according to Bankrate.com rate is 13.02% APR. Many cards are in the high teens or low 20% APR. UMFCU’s VISA® introductory rate (4.99% APR for the first 36 months) can assist you. Our card offers Scorecard Rewards, NO balance transfer, annual, cash advance or hidden fees.

CREDIT CARD DEBT CAN COST YOUIMAGO DEI MIDDLE SCHOOL IN TUCSON TEAMS UP WITH INTUITImago Dei Middle School isn’t just about bringing low-income students up to academic speed, it’s also about helping young scholars connect to community and feel their power to make positive change in the world. For the second year, a dedicated cadre of more than 20 volunteers from the Tucson headquarters of Intuit, Inc. – the well-known finan-cial software company – has been helping staff plant the seeds of global good citizenship by mentoring eighth graders in the school’s Student Com-munity Service Program.

The Program began some years ago with the cleanup and refurbishing of the back courtyard of the school building – students turned a grimy, dilapidated downtown alley recess into an attractive and productive organic vegetable garden. A water-harvesting system followed.

Having transformed their own back-yard, students initiated the Urban Organic Garden Outreach Project with the guidance of teachers and their Intuit mentors, participants in the company’s We Care & Give Back Program and Green Team. (Intuit also makes a monetary donation to the school for every employee volunteer hour.)

The class’s vision statement for the

Project: “One year from now I see the class feeling great and the community looking greener and healthier. The class will have their own functioning business and a bigger garden. Tucson will be a greener city and a healthier one. We’ll start more organic gardens to serve

and inspire others while having FUN and being happy!”

Working under the weekly guidance of school staff and the Intuit team, students created a business plan, sourced materials, planted and raised organic vegetable seedlings, tracked expenses, created marketing materi-als and method cards with planting instructions and recipes for custom-ers, and finally sold seedlings at a nearly $1,000 profit at a local farm-ers market. Profits were then rein-vested to create complete gardening kits that students took back to their homes and neighborhoods – which are often short on fresh vegetables – after pledging to establish vegetable gardens there.

At the end of the semester, students visited Intuit’s campus to learn more about potential career choices.“We wanted them to understand that the skills they’d learned could be used everywhere,” said Katharine Gregg, an Intuit business operations manager who led the Imago Dei team.

“And in helping these kids, I learned that everyone can learn design thinking at any age.”

This year, students are working on a new product: pollinator-attracting container gardens – Bee Pots. (Native bees and other vital pollinators need encouragement.) While developing and implementing the Bee Pot proj-ect, students are effortlessly learning about the lifecycles of insects and plants, farming and the food supply, ceramics production, record-keeping, business planning and development, teamwork and salesmanship.

Many congregations find it helpful to list in their Sunday bulletins an update on income and expenses. This makes for good “transparency” of church finances, but also is a gentle reminder to those who might be behind in their giving. The Finance Committee, with the consent of Diocesan Council, has suggested that we do a similar public reporting. Above is a listing of our congregations, their mission share, and their current standing. In a few exceptional cases, Council has granted an alternative payment plan to congregations facing severe economic dislocation. Those are so marked. The Council wishes to thank those congregations who are current in their mission giving and encourage those who may be behind.
