Letter from The Rev. J. Sierra Reyes to the St. Luke’s Community
April 25, 2021
Beloved Community of St. Luke’s:
It is with a weary throat and abiding peace that I write to inform you of my resignation as your rector of
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, effective June 30, 2021. My last Sunday will be June 27, 2021.
As you may know, my husband Rudy is a doctoral candidate in the Joint Ph.D. program of Iliff School
of Theology and the University of Denver. Recently, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary
(Garrett), connected to Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, contacted Rudy and invited him
to apply for a faculty teaching position. The position is the perfect fit for Rudy’s field (Christian Social
Ethics with a concentration in Latinx Studies). After a lengthy interview process with multiple
candidates, we received great news. Garrett offered Rudy the position to join their faculty and teach
while finishing his dissertation. Rudy will receive his degree from the University of Denver but will join
the faculty of Garrett beginning Fall 2021. I am thankful to God, and I am honored to walk this path
with Rudy and our family.
We were not ready to leave Denver. And I was not prepared to leave St. Luke’s. I had imagined many
more years of ministry with you. We imagined our daughter growing up as a Coloradoan. In fact, after
deciding that Rudy would accept the position, our family considered living apart for a season so that I
could continue my service here. However, as we began imagining the realities of living as a family in
two different states, we knew we could not do this.
Our Wardens and Vestry are in a solid position to guide St. Luke’s through our next steps. The Rev.
Canon Vanessa Stickler Glass, Canon for Transition Ministries, is our liaison with the Bishop’s Office.
St. Luke’s is in excellent hands. And because of the giftedness of St. Luke’s, when it is time to select
your next rector, you will have your pick of the best and most talented clergy our church has to offer.
For St. Luke’s, the best is yet to come.
It has been an honor to be a part of your story, albeit a smaller part than I imagined. Thank you for the
abounding joy and tremendous honor of being your pastor. Thank you for giving this first-time rector a
chance to serve, learn and grow in this life-giving vocation. Thank you for trusting me and loving our
family. I will always carry you and this beloved community in prayer.
It is not lost on me that I am voluntarily resigning from a glorious church during the uncertainty of a
pandemic. It is not lost that I do not know what’s next for my ministry after June 30. Challenges and
transitions have been some of my most instructive life experiences. My faith is grounded in profoundly
knowing God’s goodness and mercy, not by hearsay but by the first-hand experience of being put in
positions of having to trust our God. Reliance on God’s goodness, especially in the unknown, is the
lesson of my faith walk. And thanks be to God; my lesson is not over.
It will be a joy to worship with you in our remaining time together. And pray that we find warm enough
coats for the blustery Chicago winter!
Faithfully,
Sierra +

Eastertide
The Easter season or Eastertide continues through most of May. Eastertide spans 50 days
from Easter Sunday to Pentecost. Pentecost commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit
on Jesus’ disciples while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Jewish festival of
Shavuot or Feast of Weeks, as described in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:1-31). The
term Pentecost comes from the Greek Pentēkostē meaning “fiftieth”. It is traditional at St.
Luke’s to wear red on that day, to symbolize the “tongues of fire” that appeared over the
heads of the disciples with the arrival of the Holy Spirit.
Church School
The Godly Play lesson for Pentecost begins with the story of the Tower
of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9). Everyone working on the tower spoke the
same language as they worked together. However, as the tower grew
taller and taller (they wanted the tower to reach the heavens), they began
to talk in different ways. They grew so proud of their accomplishment
that they thought they were better builders than God. A huge noise
replaced their talk. It made no sense. Everyone was babbling and the
tower fell. Thousands of years passed and the disciples were gathered
together with Jesus after he was resurrected. Before Jesus ascended to
heaven, he told the disciples that the Holy Spirit would soon come down.
They returned to Jerusalem for Shavuot and gathered together in the
Upper Room on Sunday. Suddenly, a sound like a mighty wind rushed in to be with them. It was the Holy
Spirit. They spoke many different languages but everyone in the crowd in Jerusalem could understand them.
The disciples became apostles and went out into the world to proclaim the Good News.
Adult Formation
St. Luke’s offers several opportunities for Adult
Formation. Every Tuesday morning, starting at 9:30 a.m.,
Rev. Dr. Sandy Blake leads Lectio Divina and Prayer in
St. Luke’s virtual library. Our interfaith study and
fellowship with Congregation Rodef Shalom resumed on
Wednesday evenings and will continue through May 26.
We meet virtually on the ZOOM platform, from 6:30 to
7:30 p.m. We are reading and discussing “The Power of Myth,” by Joseph Campbell.
The book is based on six one-hour conversations between Campbell and Bill Moyers,
the American journalist and political commentator. The discussions focus on the
universality and evolution of myths in the history of the human race and the place of
myths in modern society. All are welcome to join the conversation.
