Election Results and Q & A Leigh Grinstead & Audrey Chapman

From the Dean

Saint Paul encourages the church at Corinth to realize that “your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost” (I Corinthians 6:19). I suspect that if Paul were writing to Saint John’s he would use the word cathedral: “your body is a cathedral of the Holy Ghost.”

This Annual Meeting includes reports about how so many people — lay leadership and staff — are taking care of this cathedral and this community. Our wonderful Senior Warden, Leigh Grinstead, provides an update on the Campus Stewardship Task Force that plans to expand our relationships with our neighbors in Capitol Hill. Our brilliant Director of Operations, Audrey Chapman, reports on our progress on the Path to Financial Sustainability that our vestry published in 2016. Our Stewardship Director, Gordon Brooks, gives an update on the great work of three members of our vestry (Rebecca Richardson, Greg Movesian, and Kate Dykstra), who are exploring the feasibility of urgent repairs to our glorious stained-glass windows and to the All Souls’ Walk columbarium.

Canon Katie reports on the incredible range of pastoral care that our members offer to one another, in addition to the work of our clergy. Canon Broderick notes that our services have fed the souls of a remarkable number of people in 2022. Our Director of Music, Dr. Michael Boney, reports of how uplifting it has been to sing in church, especially led by our growing and dynamic choir and choristers.

“Your body is a cathedral of the Holy Ghost,” I hear Paul saying in light of these reports. All of our work and care — from the care of souls to the care of our building and grounds — is a sign of something deeper, more subtle, and more important.

In his letter to the Galatians, Paul writes that “the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control” (5:22). Paul’s words remind us of the real point and goal of our work and care at Saint John’s. Underneath it all, we meet the Spirit of the living God, and we find our own souls and encounter the souls of our neighbors. We do it all, then, for the sake of these fruits, and especially for love and peace within ourselves and throughout the world. As I continue on my sabbatical before returning for Holy Week on April 2, my prayer for us — collectively and individually — is that we experience more and more of the Holy Spirit’s presence, tenderness, and guidance.

The Very Reverend Richard Lawson

From the Director of Communications

Each year, I get the privilege of working with Dean Richard, and now our Director of Stewardship, Gordon Brooks, to select a theme for our stewardship campaign. It’s always a fun challenge, and for the past few years, I’ve taken the time to pause, listen, and consider the common sentiments that come up in conversations I have with our clergy, staff, and – most importantly – our members. For 2022, the theme was “Coming Home.” The cathedral was finally open for our community to come and worship together after a long 15 months, and I hear so many people say that Saint John’s felt like home even after all the time apart.

This year, “Behold, I’m doing a new thing” from Isaiah 43:19 encapsulated what I’d heard from so many of you. Each in your own words, I heard you try to articulate the noticeable shift in energy in this beautiful and holy place. You can feel the Holy Spirit moving through our services on Sundays, in between tables at Cathedral Nights, and around folks gathering for formation and community on our campus. We see new faces join us for worship each Sunday and in our formation offerings throughout the week as our community grows and expands. Something is calling these individuals and families to come and experience this warm and faithful community at Saint John’s.

As you read through this booklet and listen to the reports given during our Annual Meeting, you’ll begin to understand – if you don’t already – what I’m talking about. In 2022, we gained six new folks on staff (with two more starting in February 2023) who are helping us to increase the opportunities to gather for worship and formation, to serve one another and our surrounding neighborhood in various ministries, to steward our buildings and community, and to enjoy each other’s company. We finished the HVAC update, providing cool air to Dagwell Hall, Saint Martin’s Chapel, and the nursery for the first time, and we received new seating for the cathedral. We also deepened our relationships with community partners and our Capitol Hill neighbors, which will continue when the Reverend Deacon Jack Karn starts next month as the Deacon for Community Partnerships.

Through all that newness, a lot has also stayed the same: beautiful worship services with incredible music; a varying and rich line-up of Dean’s Forum speakers with additional formation opportunities throughout the week; traditions like Cathedral Night, the All Souls’ Requiem, Saint John’s Day, and Blessing of the Animals; and – most appreciated – a steady congregation that is eager to support the work of this church. For that, we are all very grateful.

As we enter a new year, you might find yourself thinking about a different way you can serve is community. Throughout this booklet, you’ll find lists of ministries that help the clergy and staff keep the cathedral running. Many of these groups are actively seeking new members, and I invite you to consider joining our dedicated lay leaders and volunteers in 2023.

Evans Ousley

From the Senior Warden

As I’ve reflected on this past year, I’ve been thinking a lot about how the church was built and how we build and maintain community. In January we start off with lectionary readings about Jesus building the church, gathering the apostles, healing the sick, performing miracles, and spreading the word. What’s always interesting to me is how we find Jesus surrounded, doing his work in the midst of crowds of people, sleeping in strangers’ houses, lecturing, and then how he will often go off by himself. He’ll retreat to pray and listen to God, then he comes back into community, and then he retreats again and the cycle repeats.

Luke 6: 12-16

Now during those days, he went out to the mountain to pray; and he spent the night in prayer to God. And when day came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles.

Luke 5:12-16

But now more than ever the word about Jesus spread abroad; many crowds would gather to hear him and to be cured of their diseases. But he would withdraw to deserted places and pray.

In Christianity we have a model of leadership that says stepping back, seeking stillness, using prayer as a time to listen to that still, quiet, voice, and being led by the Holy Spirit is not only healthy but expected. One single human being, (even if they are Jesus), cannot do all the work that needs to be done alone. Our community at Saint John’s is a great example of that.

In addition to our clergy and staff, we have a vestry; Finance, Executive, Investment, Audit, and Grants Committees; the Faith in Action Commission; the Arts & Architecture Commission; all the lay Eucharistic Visitors; and the task forces – not to mention the numerous other ministries and fearless lay leaders of each of those groups. We all have to make decisions and compromises to exist within our community and yet we can always stop, pray, and listen for the Holy Spirit to guide us where we need to go.

As the Senior Warden, I can tell you it is not the work of a single person or group, but rather the spirit of this place that I truly believe will lead us where we need to be. If we focus on the strength of our community, and on listening carefully to the whisper of the spirit, I do believe we’ll continue to grow this place just as Jesus built a church more than 2,000 years ago.

As many of you know, the vestry is charged with the leadership, finances, buildings, and grounds. The past twelve months have been very active, and you’ve seen Saint John’s grow — which speaks in part, to a healthy and vibrant leadership culture. A leadership culture that I believe is healthy because the staff, the clergy, and lay leaders are focused on listening before they act and working alongside each other to achieve a common goal.

You’ll hear and read about many of these key committees from others in this booklet and in the Annual Meeting, so I’ll focus on some of the work that has happened over the past year with the Campus Stewardship & Revenue Planning Task Force.

The mission of the Task Force is to carefully steward the physical resources and properties, generate sustainable revenue streams, and enhance a sense of community while also serving the needs of our neighbors in Capitol Hill and Denver.

The Task Force worked with Tryba Architects to document a series of stakeholder meetings with businesses, neighbors, and the congregation to gather additional use cases for our buildings and properties.

We experimented by partnering with Metro Caring and inviting a number of neighborhood entrepreneurs to join us during Coffee Hour so they could test out their small business models.

We also had some local business groups and non-profits use our parking lot for community fairs during off-hours and on weekends.

We have been working with Morey Middle School to partner on a series of small projects that have gone well, and we hope to expand that relationship.

The vestry approved critical life safety repairs and maintenance work to the Kimberly Apartments for our neighbors across the street. This allows us to provide the neighborhood with naturally affordable units for a few more years while we determine the best use of the property. Those critical repairs are underway.

We contracted a parking study to understand the impacts that potential development scenarios could have on the cathedral regarding parking required by City code.

We met with a representative from the Arts & Architecture Commission as they begin to scope the work that needs to be done for the All Souls’ Walk columbarium.

We also wrote and received a grant from the Trinity Foundation that will fund a Market Analysis and Financial Viability tool along with a project to survey and document the programming and utilization of the Roberts Building to identify opportunities for reprogramming with alternate revenue-generating uses.

We also continue to meet with community members and developers to test the waters and see who might be interested in partnering with us on our next phase of work.

In the coming months, we’ll share more information and progress from the Task Force’s work. As the chair of the Task Force, I always invite questions and comments about this important work. Please email me at any time at campus@sjcathedral.org.

From the Director of Stewardship

Though I have been attending Saint John’s for several years, I moved to Denver just last year. I lived in Lafayette, Louisiana, which was near the gulf coast, and I have been a sailor for many years having owned different sailboats for more than 40 years. I love being on the water and steering the boat, and the word “steward” is a nautical term, describing a person who oversees everyone on the ship. There are other terms and names we are all familiar with in the church that have their origins in sea vessels. For instance, the word “nave” comes from the Latin word navis, meaning ship. Our voyage through life, as through the sea, is a little easier if we have a good ship, a good nave, a good community.

The work of stewardship is taking care of an organization or property. I’m grateful to be here as the Stewardship Director but caring for our cathedral is not my work alone – it’s a job we all do together as a community. The nave is a beautiful and historic vessel for all the sacred events that take place inside. Every time that I step into the space, I’m awestruck by the windows – the colors, the patterns, and the stories that are in embedded. It’s a sacred place.

There’s more to the cathedral campus than just the nave itself, of course. Our property is an important part of our ministry, and it allows us to serve our membership and the outer community in a number of ways. This year we worked with the Denver Elections Division as they turned Dagwell Hall into a voting site, and we hosted a regular market last fall with Metro Caring and some local entrepreneurs. My favorite space, and perhaps the most important, is the East Lawn and the All Souls’ Walk columbarium. I love that we use it for celebrations like Blessing of the Animals, Coffee Hour after services, Saint John’s Day, and other gatherings as well. But most importantly, it is a space for those special moments during an internment where family and friends are grieving and celebrating their loved ones. What a striking contrast of emotions we see in this beautiful corner of Denver.

We have made a few important capital improvements in the past few years, including the HVAC system in the cathedral and other gathering spaces on campus, but there are still more urgent upgrades to be made. The columbarium needs some maintenance to even out the stones and eliminate tripping hazards in this important gathering space and thoroughfare. Many of the stained-glass windows are nearly 100 years old, and they need repair and stabilization. These projects, and others, are a huge and essential undertaking in stewarding our spaces to ensure their survival for the next generations. We have the invaluable team of Rebecca Richardson, Greg Movesian, and Kate Dykstra helping to evaluate the feasibility of the repair of these extraordinary features of our cathedral.

Our 2023 stewardship campaing is nearing completion. I’m grateful to the staff and lay people who assisted with this year’s campaign. For 2023, so far we have 476 pledging households with a total of $1,571,551 pledged. As you will read in our Director of Operations Audrey Chapman’s report, there is a gap between the amount we have pledged and our 2023 budget, but we will continue to work to fill the gap.

I am excited for all that we can do with your support this year. There is always much to do as stewards of such an important and historic place, and I invite you to contact me if you ever have questions or comments about stewardship. Please know that I am in your service.

Gordon Brooks

From the Canon Precentor

In 2022, Saint John’s lay liturgical ministers, staff, and clergy conducted dozens of baptisms, weddings, and funerals, serving hundreds of people with Christ’s unconditional love and Episcopal community. While it is easy to think of the individuals and families served as categories, it is perhaps most helpful to think of them as the complex, multi-layered people they are. As Fr. James Alison, the Roman Catholic theologian has said, “God calls us by name, not by category.”

We baptized, married, and buried people with different hopes, dreams, disappointments, and joys. We witnessed their longing for union with God and community with other people. When you pray for those preparing for baptism, marriage,

and burial, I ask you to remember them before God as the unique souls they are. I also ask that you give God thanks and praise for the ushers, acolytes, vergers, flower team members, altar guild members, Godly Play instructors, audio/visual team members, and the many others who make our beautiful services possible.

Monarch Society Burials

On All Souls’ Day last year, we committed 44 remains to our All Souls’ Walk columbarium. Our partners at Monarch Society, one of great Denver’s funeral homes, had been caring for these remains that had been unclaimed, some of them upwards of 37 years. Last week, they were reclaimed by God and Saint John’s Cathedral. It is a great honor to provide a final resting place and a safe home for those 44 souls. Below are the names of those individuals.

From the Director of Music

The challenges musicians faced during the pandemic were tremendous and heartbreaking, especially for singers. In a time when we needed music the most, we had to discontinue the art form for a time for the safety of all. Personally, I found myself in a place of deep sadness not simply because of the tragedy of the pandemic but also the uncertainty of the future of music. Unlike many churches, which were forced to completely eliminate music from their services, we were fortunate at Saint John’s to have been granted the opportunity to safely continue offering music in our worship. Still, it took a while to safely resume all facets of our music ministry.

In August of last year, I was able to begin “again” a program year that included the full return of the Cathedral Choir, Concerts, and Choristers. The Cathedral Choir has not only returned but gained several new members, including families singing together. The level of musicianship and dedication from the Vicars Choral and Cathedral Choir has set a very high standard for music going forward, and I am excited about the limitless possibilities which lie ahead. Our youngest singers, the Choristers, returned to singing one Sunday a month last fall. The chorister program consists of teaching young children and youth basic music reading skills, music theory, and liturgy. These skills are vitally important to our worship and hearing young voices sing the melody line is nothing short of hearing the voice of angels.

Concerts at Saint John’s remain an important part of our ministry that was halted during the first two years of the pandemic. I am delighted by the return of concerts at Saint John’s including organ recitals, choral ensembles such as

Kantorei and St. Martin’s Chamber Choir, and our annual Christmas Concert performed by the Cathedral Choir. Of particular note is the expansion of our repertoire offerings for Christmas. Saint John’s has hosted an annual Christmas concert for decades performing Messiah by George Frederic Handel. At the time of its inception, Saint John’s was one of the first churches to offer performances of this monumental work in the city of Denver. Today, Messiah is offered in almost every church and concert hall in and around the city. After much thought and many conversations, last year we expanded our Christmas Concert offering to include other works by J.S. Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, John Rutter, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and countless other notable composers.

We are also broadening our music offerings as the cathedral beyond our annual Christmas Concert. Last year we introduced an additional hymnal, the African American Heritage Hymnal, which offers a wide variety of familiar and some less familiar hymn tunes and texts which represent the musical contributions of People of Color and the Gospel Hymn tradition. I’m excited to continue expanding our knowledge of hymnody and culture in a variety of ways.

It is an honor and privilege to serve as your Director of Music, and I pray you will continue to support music at Saint John’s as we honor our past, live in the present, and look forward to the future.

Dr. Michael Boney

“hearing young voices sing the melody line is nothing short of hearing the voices of angels.”

From the Director of Christian Formation

Children’s Ministry

In the past year, we’ve seen tremendous growth and energy in our Children’s Ministry as families returned and many new families found their way to us. We expanded Godly Play back to two classrooms, which were refurbished and stocked with many important new lesson materials over the summer, thanks to a generous donation. Our older elementary classroom welcomes a wonderful, energetic, bright group of third through fifth graders and continues to teach them the stories of scripture and the saints each week.

This year we launched What’s in the Word?, Saint John’s Bible study podcast for children and families. Each episode is a conversation with several of our children and youth, and together we explore the stories and seasons of our faith and what they mean for our kids. We’ll continue to record and produce episode of this podcast in 2023.

For a week in July, Saint John’s campus rang with the laughter and song of children at our first Arts Camp. Kids from kindergarten and older spent their days engaged with art projects, stories, music, instruments, lots of games and playtime, and popsicles. Several high school youth served as leaders and were instrumental in making Arts Camp a huge success. Richard and I were also delighted to serve as chaplains at Cathedral Ridge for summer camp with elementary and middle school kids from across Colorado. Arts Camp returns this summer in June.

The All Parish Retreat connected many families, households, and individuals in the beauty of fall at Cathedral Ridge, where kids engaged in multi-aged camp fun and parents had time to relax and connect with other parishioners.

Rebuilding our open, faithful, affirming community after the pandemic time of isolation is critical for our children’s resilience and has been our focus in everything we did last year.

Tina Clark

From the Youth Minister

In 2022, we continued to grow our Youth Group with the guiding principles of belonging, spiritual growth, and justice.

Perhaps the most evident instances of belonging in our Youth Group occur during special events like our All Parish Retreat and our Super Sundays. During these events, youth who might not otherwise feel comfortable in Formation settings can know and understand that they are loved by the Saint John’s community. These outings spent ice skating or watching movies, allow our youth to spend more time with one another and make lasting memories. On average, we had 15 youth attend these extended afternoon activities, with an even distribution of middle and high schoolers. I’m inspired by our youth in the stewardship video this year, who explained how Saint John’s Youth Group is a chosen family.

Our youth’s spiritual growth takes place during formation hour every Sunday morning for our middle schoolers, and every Sunday afternoon for our high schoolers. We follow a curriculum to guide conversations about how we are made in God’s image and that we all have unique gifts and roles to play. During each lesson, we familiarize ourselves with scripture that informs our discussions. I am grateful to say that participation is always active and invigorating.

Like many communities, we are continuing to learn and expand how we seek out justice as a Youth Group. Justice, equity, and the desire for change are most evident in our conversations, whether it be about race, sexuality, climate change, or gun violence. In December, we partnered with Liz Wolfert, the Managing Director at Saint Clare’s Ministries, who helped our youth begin to understand the circumstances of our unhoused siblings in Denver. We will continue to work with Saint Clare’s Ministries this spring, and we also hope to find additional ways to serve communities outside of Saint John’s and help our youth stand up for what they believe in together.

For these youth, community is more needed and more powerful than ever. At its best, Youth Group brings kids from all walks of life into a space where they are asked to fully be themselves and fully loving of others. Saint John’s Youth Ministry serves to empower young people to look for the good in everyone and find holiness even in the darkest places. I am so grateful for every single one of the kids that has joined us in 2022, and I am eager and excited to see what’s in store for this next year. May we all continue to support one another through the passages of life, and grow together in love.

From the Director of Christian Formation

Adult Formation

Last fall it was so joyous to truly return to a full formation year with quite a range of opportunities to learn and connect with each other.

Sunday mornings are so lively with our in-person Dean’s Forums. It was great to hear from some new-to-SaintJohn’s voices, like the Reverend Winne Varghese, and some familiar to our community including Nadia Bolz-Weber and Dr. Amy Erickson. The full line-up for this spring is available both in print and online. We’re delighted, also, to welcome the Everding Lectures back in person for the first time in four years this April.

The return of Cathedral Night for a season in the fall was full of energy and enthusiasm. We have a number of small groups meeting after Cathedral Night dinner on Wednesdays, including Education for Ministry, Sacred Ground, Catechumenate, Dean Richard’s Bible Study, and the Beloved LGBTQI+ Bible study. We’re excited to gather on Wednesday nights for another Cathedral Night season this spring, for worship, community, and formation included a series with Bishop Rob O’Neill on The Heart of Prayer.

The Women’s Retreat, All Parish Retreat, and first-time 20s & 30s retreats were all wonderful opportunities to get away and explore our faith while connecting with one another. Cathedral Ridge is always such a beautiful and peaceful getaway, and these retreats help always make our large community feel smaller. All of these retreats and more, including the Men’s Retreat, are scheduled for 2023 so we hope you join us.

Formation is integral to everything we do together in our community, from classes to worship to retreats and more. Within our practices our faith is continually formed and re-formed, bringing balance, hope, and the infinite love of Christ to our days. I’m so grateful to our ministry and small group leaders and our dedicated children’s ministry

volunteers. And I am grateful for each of you as you engage and grow alongside each other.

Tina Clark

From the Canon Pastor

I had a seminary professor at Iliff who declared that we all read scripture through a lens and that we shouldn’t get too full of ourselves and think we are better than those Christians who cherry-pick. We all do it. I began to ponder what my lens might be. I soon realized that I read much of the bible with an eye to care – I am deeply interested in what scripture has to say about how we are to care for one another.

In Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians, he opens the epistle with this greeting: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God.” Other translations use the word “comfort,” but the meaning is the same: we are to care for each other the way we have been cared for by God.

When I started as your Canon Pastor over five years ago, I wanted to encourage us all to participate in pastoral care. Saint John’s is a community wherein we care for each other – the responsibility does not just fall to the clergy. We created an umbrella for our many pastoral ministries called “Share the Care” which explicitly named our communal bond.

Saint John’s loves and cares for each other and this is borne out in so many ways: We train and send out a host of Eucharistic Visitors who not only take communion to those who cannot worship with us, they take the news of the parish, scripture reflections, homemade soup when appropriate, and prayer shawls made by our knitters that bear tags saying, “You are wrapped in the prayers of Saint John’s.”

If you or a loved one goes into the hospital, you may receive a card, a visit, communion, an anointing, and, yes, a shawl! Not all at once, of course, and not if you don’t want it – but we take care of each other.

If you find that you need spiritual help, you would expect that as a church we’ve got you covered, and we have a number of wonderful Spiritual Directors. If you need practical help, we’ve got that, as well. The Care Advisory Board is a group of lay folks who advise our parish on resources available in Denver for everything from ongoing rental assistance to care facility placement. That, too, is deep pastoral care.

We always pray for each other. The intercessions are shared weekly in the Voice and on Sundays in worship; the list is constantly updated and shared not only with you all but with our Daughters of the King chapter which is dedicated to the practice of intercessory prayer. Pastoral updates are also shared, when appropriate, with staff as our parishioners are known and loved by so many on our staff.

At Saint John’s we truly share the care of this community – it is a large and marvelous place that requires the gifts and time of so many to help keep us all connected. I hope that if you ever find yourself in need, you let us know, and I pray that if you feel called to sharing in the care of our people, you join one of our many pastoral care ministries.

From the Curate for Parish Life

Perhaps when you first arrived at Saint John’s (however many years ago) you filled out a welcome card. Maybe a priest reached out to you. Most likely you made a friend. Someone welcomed you, started talking to you, helped you feel seen, comfortable, and needed here. While I bring expertise in hospitality, you make the most impact. You say that initial hello, you are that new friend, you are the one who helps someone feel like this is their home and they belong. Indeed, I have been welcomed so graciously that I could show up as I am: contemplative, Gonzaga fan, recovering perfectionist, and especially, as beloved.

However, I know that my experience has not been everyone’s, and we need to grow and strengthen our practice of hospitality. Jesus’ hospitality challenges us to meet whoever shows up – wherever they are in their journey of life and faith – with acceptance and belovedness. This work of hospitality takes prayer, as well as technical skill development, to ensure our space, language, posture, and logistics are welcoming to all.

While you may have heard us saying this in passing, I am excited to share with you that we see new folks every week at Saint John’s. I respond to welcome cards, connect folks with lay leaders and clergy, and try to ensure newcomers feel comfortable sharing their gifts with our community. I hope to further cultivate processes for connecting newcomers, and supporting groups. Encouraging leadership is a significant aspect of this, and I have been developing the ways I engage with lay leaders, staff, and clergy to recruit volunteers, imagine new ministries, and create new groups. With over fifty groups and ministries that serve to connect us through shared interests, as well as identities and affiliations – from 20s & 30s and Knitting Group, to the Stargazers and Beloved Bible Study, – there’s a place for you and still more room to grow. If you’re interested in starting a group or ministry I look forward to brainstorming with you soon!

Another area of hospitality that I have been contemplating is the question of how Saint John’s relates to food, and what it means to feed one another. The last few years of the pandemic certainly estranged us from feeding, and we must reimagine our relationship with food as it relates to care for our community. What does it mean to feed our community? I will continue to pray on this and invite you to do the same. I hope that in considering this aspect of our life at Saint

John’s, we’ll better sustain our beloved traditions like Cathedral Night and Coffee Hour.

As we contemplate this, I am very excited to continue Cathedral Night this spring. I was blown away by the joy and fun of Cathedral Night last fall – so many small groups and formation offerings, delicious food, and wonderful conversations. Dagwell shined with love for Saint John’s community! Cathedral Night is a time to be together, share our faith, and build relationships. This and other parish life events at Saint John’s bring us together to celebrate community and offer space for strengthening our relationships.

Gathering is an essential part of our Christian life. We gather to worship, we gather for life events, we gather for support, for joy, and for knowing that we are beloved and belong. Saint John’s Day was a wonderful gathering for fellowship and fun. Cathedral Nights gave us the opportunity to sit together in the midst of our busy weeks. Coffee Hour is developing and returning as a place for connection and welcome. I encourage you to offer a prayer of gratitude for the love, joy, and support that this community offers and to consider how you will connect with God and others this year. May we all reflect on our own practice of hospitality – our openness to one another – and continue to create a strong culture of belovedness in community. I wonder what this will look like in 2023.

The Reverend Amy Newell-Large

From the Digitial Ministry Coordinator

I often get asked what my role as Digital Ministry Coordinator entails. Though my title doesn’t initially signal it, my work at the cathedral is an important part of our hospitality and welcome at the cathedral. A big part of my work is facilitating online worship through our live-streamed services. On Sundays, you can find me in the AV booth at the north end of the nave (affectionately referred to as my “satellite office”), managing the in-house sound and mixing audio for the livestream, or switching between camera shots. We stream the 10:30 am service of Choral Eucharist,The Wilderness services, Dean’s Forums, special liturgies such as the Easter Vigil, and occasionally weddings and funerals.

Additionally, I have been working with Reverend Amy to create a new parish directory. For a parish like ours, this has been quite the task: we have had to collect and confirm names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses; take new photos; and finally design and print the directory inhouse. We are so excited to be able to offer this directory to all of you very soon. The directory will be emailed out twice a year, and you can request a print copy as well if you prefer. Many thanks to everyone who made this work possible; it will be an important part of our hospitality as we continue to welcome new members into our community each week.

Lastly, I assist Evans with communications for the cathedral: putting the Cathedral Voice together each week, designing and scheduling social media posts, keeping our website updated, and editing sermons and Mile High Theology episodes. This year, I’ll continue to help with various one-time projects, like creating a self-guided tour of the cathedral for folks who stop in during the week. All of these different media are ways through which we share the story of this beautiful community and the new, amazing things that God is doing in this place.

Some churches have wrestled with the question of whether to keep their live-streamed services going as in-person worship has returned. When asked, my answer to this question is a resounding yes – it allows us to welcome those who are immunocompromised or homebound, members who have moved away, and those who want to try out the cathedral before coming to an in-person service. Each week, Saint John’s sees anywhere between 100 to 1,000 online viewers across services and platforms (i.e.,Vimeo, Facebook, and YouTube). Some watch live while others watch the recording later in the week.

We are often approached by folks on Sunday morning thanking us for our work because it either kept them connected to the cathedral until they were comfortable coming back in person or it introduced them to our clergy and beautiful liturgies before they decided to join our community. It is amazing to be able to “open our doors” to so many people in this way, and I am working with Evans Ousley, Gordon Brooks, and others on staff to develop methods to deepen our welcome for our online members this year. I offer my sincere gratitude to all of our AV Techs for their commitment to this vital ministry. If you feel called to become part of this ministry, please email me – we would love to have you on the team!

Social Media Live-Stream Offerings

number is based only on the last 5 months of data from 2022).

Live viewers indicate the number of devices that access our broadcasts concurrently with the service happening on our campus. Unique viewers reflects the number of devices that access our video in the two weeks following the stream, regardless of how many times they’ve watched,or whether they watched the broadcast live or later in the week.

These data points only account for the number of devices that access these videos, and not the instances in which 2 or more people watch from the same device; therefore these numbers could be multiplied by 1.5 or 2 to account for those instances.

Enrique Cintrón

From the Facilities Manager

2022 was a big year for all of us here at Saint John’s, and the facilities department was no exception. Not only did we see the completion of some large infrastructure projects, but we also witnessed the church come back to life with small groups, formation offerings, concerts, Cathedral Night dinners, weddings, and community events – not to mention the return of thousands of people who call Saint John’s home. Our staff grew to support all of these events and, throughout it all, I believe the facility department met those challenges with grace, determination, and the willingness to make sure the needs of our community were met.

Some people may be surprised to learn that the facilities department is involved in every aspect of the goings-on here at Saint John’s. To name a few: groundskeeping, repairs, preventive maintenance, housekeeping, security, event setups, building and remodeling, and burials on All Souls’ Walk. One of our favorite and most important roles is being ambassadors to the Saint John’s community and welcoming folks into our building for worship and community. However, we don’t do all of this alone; it is with great gratitude that we thank the wonderful volunteers who help every day at the church. We couldn’t do it without you!

In 2023, our facilities team plans to address issues we are having with plumbing in our restrooms, and our major focus will be giving the cathedral interior a facelift. We will begin the process of refinishing credence tables, repairing and refinishing our altars, cleaning stonework, repairing tile, and refinishing floors. Our new wooden floor in the nave revealed how much attention other parts of our worship space need, and we’re looking forward to getting to that this year.

Mahatma Gandhi said, “If you want to find yourself, lose yourself in the service of others.” Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you.

From the Treasurer

Short-term pains can lead to longterm gains. We all know this to be true whether it means that extra set at the gym, dealing with the line at the DMV, or witnessing a temporary drop in your long-term financial portfolio; sticking with a plan and focusing on a long-term outcome takes patience and vigilance. In the fiscal year 2022, Saint John’s put patience and vigilance into practice as the year started off with major challenges to our operating budget stemming from reduced rental incomes with the Kimberly Apartments. This helped heighten the urgency of the Campus Stewardship & Revenue Planning Task Force created to work with multiple experts on a long-term plan for the property with a five-year planning horizon. While the outstanding work of the Task Force is not the short-term balm to the operating budget, the savvy administrative team at Saint John’s worked on every tactical detail at their disposal to make the year successful. Their dedication and creativity coupled with the outstanding generosity of our members has resulted in a balanced budget for the fiscal year 2022. This great accomplishment was only possible through the powerful combination of skilled management and generous giving, something all at Saint John’s should share pride in.

Operating Budget

While we saw the immediate concerns to the operating budget early in 2022, only so much deficit can be made up by working to reduce expenses. Controlling the controllable yielded immediate reductions in spending in areas easy to manage such as meals (%62), marketing (%83), food and beverage (%62), and travel (%2). In order to avoid a deficit year, revenues would have to also

play a part. The team at Saint John’s leaned in on this side of the balance sheet as well yielding an almost %50 increase in income from weddings and funerals to plan. The root cause issue of reduced rental incomes from the Kimberly Apartments was also expertly managed by both our team and our property management company ending the year at 60% of plan, much better than forecasts looked early in the year. The answer to balancing our budget came directly from the outrageous generosity of our members giving %107 of planned pledge and %110 of plate. Keeping our operating budget balanced is foundational to creating a sustainable financial future; together we’ve successfully gotten past short-term pains and continue to build toward long-term gains.

Endowment

The endowment remains critical to the current and future financial wellness of the cathedral. Will Nicholson and the Investment Committee, led by parishioner Giles Fox, continued their expert management of our largest asset. While markets have been nothing short of challenging and volatile in 2022, the endowment policy designed to be an all-weather strategy limited short-term losses. The year ended with a non-audited balance of over $23M. While below the higher watermarks seen in 2021, the fund recovered over $1M in Q4 and continues to prove the sage practices of our policies and procedures.

Capital Expenditures

For over half a decade Saint John’s has been repairing critical infrastructure that keeps our stunning building safe, attractive, and comfortable. Funding for these projects has evolved from a

large dedicated fund (now depleted) to careful use of retained earnings in conjunction with a repairs and maintenance operational expense budget. In the fiscal year 2022, several unplanned one-time repairs exceeded our planned maintenance budget resulting in an approximate $60,000 overage. While this contributed to the potential net deficit challenge in 2022, only $21,000 for an air conditioning unit had to be expensed to retained earnings to balance the budget. This leaves more money in reserves for the expectable, unexpected repairs.

2021 Audit

During the 2021 fiscal year, JDS professional group conducted an audit of Saint John’s consolidated financial statements and looked at the changes in our net assets and cash flows for the 2021 fiscal year. The audit stated that the 2021 fiscal year ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The only qualification is on the recording and depreciation of property and equipment; a difference that has been ongoing and is congruent with most churches.

The year 2022 at Saint John’s ended on a positive financial note as a result of the incredible time, treasure, and talent of the staff, volunteers, and generosity of the members. Together we have weathered challenges while simultaneously building toward a sustainable future. This paradox proves that when we put our hearts and minds together, we can achieve great things.

Tom Barbour

“Almighty and everlasting God, you govern all things both in heaven and on earth: Mercifully hear the supplications of your people, and in our time grant us your peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.”

— The collect for today, the fourth Sunday after Epiphany

From the Director of Operations

2023 Update on the Path to Financial Sustainability

Often, to understand where we are, we need to look backwards at where we’ve been. In December of 2016, Saint John’s vestry published a document called the Path to Financial Stability. Within that document was a report titled Debt Repayment and Buildings & Grounds Maintenance & Repairs, which outlined for the parish an action that the vestry was soon to take: a $4.1 million one-time draw on the endowment. $2.1 million was used to pay off a line of credit and internal fund transfers and provide working capital for operations. $2 million was set aside to fund critical repairs and maintenance of the cathedral buildings & grounds. This exceptionally large draw on the cathedral’s endowment was balanced with a commitment to, beginning in 2020 and ending in 2023, step down the annual percentage rate draw on the endowment by 0.25% each year until our annual draw is at 4%.

Now, just six years past the publishing of the Path to Financial Stability, and as required, the 2023 budget is the first year in which the annual endowment draw percentage will settle to no higher than 4% – the lowest draw point that will now be maintained every year hereafter. One effect of this gradual reduction in the percentage of the annual endowment draw is that for the third year in a row, the endowment revenues in the operating budget are significantly lower than the revenues from pledges (29% of the 2023 operating revenues are from the endowment, and 47% are from pledges). This means we are largely relying on the “here-and-now” to fund our work, more than on the funds reserved for future generations.

One effect of a healthier and smaller annual endowment draw is that your pledges are more needed and more important than ever. For 2023, we are a bit behind in the number of households pledging (compared to 2022), so if you haven’t yet made your 2023 pledge, please do so. The enthusiasm and love you have for Saint John’s are clear, as is the dedication of your staff and lay leadership to expanding and growing the mission of this place in a financially responsible manner. Your pledge, no matter the amount, will make a difference and be used carefully. And may I repeat the words of Gordon Brooks, Director of Stewardship, and Leigh Grinstead, Senior Warden, and ask that those who are able to, increase their pledges by 5%. We are also behind a bit on pledge dollars from 2022 to 2023 and need a little over $54,000 more in pledges to

balance our budget without using our increasingly small savings fund. You may contact Gordon at gordon@sjcathedral.org to submit or increase your 2023 pledge. Thank you ahead of time for your financial support.

Once again looking backwards, your Treasurer and I can report with gratitude that 2022 was financially a good year. In 2022, pledges grew (over 2021) by 13%. Your incredible generosity came at a critical moment when, after 5 years of significant staff reductions, the vestry and your staff leadership team knew that the needs of the parish required a minimum of two new positions. Because of your generosity, we were able to hire our Digital Ministries Coordinator, Enrique Cintrón, and our Curate for Parish Life, Amy Newell-Large.

Another reason 2022 was a good year financially is because of the commitment of your staff and lay leaders to keep expenses lean and live within our means. In the last six years, staff has been reduced significantly, as have many other expenses – more than $500,000 over the years. Staff and lay leadership are committed to living within our means, and it shows in the 2022 financials, in which expenses tracked well, compared to the budget.

Maybe the most incredible financial story of 2022 is that pledges were overpaid by 7%! Thank you for your generosity and confidence. This helped us offset some of the unexpected capital expenses and loss of revenue from the Kimberly Apartments. The net result was that in 2022, we only needed to use around $21,000 from that small savings fund to balance the budget, despite over $60,000 in unexpected, one-time repairs and maintenance needs for the buildings and grounds.

“Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind.” – Lionel Hampton

The last remarkable item from 2022 to highlight is that the sale of a gift of property received in 1939 from Bessie L. Spencer allowed us to fund the addition of two more greatly needed positions for three years outside of the operating budget: our Director of Stewardship, Gordon Brooks, and our Deacon for Community Partnerships, the Reverend Deacon Jack Karn. These positions and these individuals are deeply missional. 20% of your pledges go to support those in our community that need it the most, and as Gordon’s connection with the parish increases our pledging, so too will our financial outreach. Jack will support and grow our ability to serve and support our neighbors through new initiatives and by partnering with the Faith in Action Commission, the St. Francis Center, and the St. Francis Center Apartments at Cathedral Square.

Looking back again, this time to 2021, we see that it was in the summer of 2021 that the remainder of the funds from the $4.1 million endowment draw were spent. The final deferred maintenance projects paid for with those funds were the repairs to the sidewalks around our block, the addition of the accessible ramp for Saint Martin’s Chapel, and the improvement of the accessible ramps leading into the Welcome Center. Since then, we of course have continued to identify and plan for how to fix ongoing deferred maintenance needs in a 100+ year old building. The most memorable project in recent history being the that the cathedral was fortunate, beyond measure, that an anonymous household was able to fully fund the cost

of a new, exceptionally high-quality HVAC system. The installation of this system was finished this past spring, and serves the cathedral sanctuary, the nursery, the Common Room, Dagwell Hall, and Saint Martin’s Chapel. The new HVAC system was not a luxury – the steam pipes and the radiators in the cathedral were at the end of their lives, and the gift that funded the new system prevented a realistic possibility that there could come a Christmas Eve (or any Sunday in winter) in which the boiler died, and services could not be held.

The capital needs of the building and the need for recurring revenues, beyond the endowment and even beyond pledging, continue. Our lay leadership is working on how to address repairs needed for the stained glass and the columbarium, and the Campus Stewardship & Revenue Planning Task Force is working on a longer-term strategy to bring about partnerships that will result in greater missional outreach, a deeper connection of Saint John’s to our neighbors, and reliable recurring revenues so that the growth and vibrancy of this community can continue with financial stability and health.

Finally, planting our feet back in to today, we are offered the opportunity to express deep gratitude to the five vestry members, including your Senior and Junior Wardens, who are rolling off the vestry completely. Enormous thanks to Leigh Grinstead, Michael Vente, Kathleen DeMars, Michael Koechner, and Mark Wherry for their leadership, time, and devotion. We also thank two of our most beloved and longest serving staff members, both of whom are both retiring: David Porterfield after almost 40 years, and Kris Jenkins after more than 20 years. Both David and Kris wore many hats in their years on staff at Saint John’s, but what I will remember the most about David is the way he truly loves all of you. What I will remember the most about Kris is her integrity, grit, and work ethic. I will miss her company and her care for each of us on her staff team and the volunteers who helped her count offering plate gifts, Carol Prescott and Wayne Bernhardt.

Today, through mindful frugality paired with clear-eyed hope, ambition, and optimism, we continue to move in the direction of the Path to Financial Stability. Thank you, as always, for your support of this important place and all its people. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at audrey@sjcathedral.org or at 303-577-7720 if you have any questions or would like to check-in.
