THE ST. LUKE LETTER April 2021 THE ST. LUKE LETTER April 2021 Dear Siblings in Christ, Alleluia, Christ is risen! Christ is risen indeed, alleluia! I am simply loving spring this year. Looking at my gardens and seeing buds emerge from the ground and enjoying the blooms as they begin to open and fill the brown ground with a colorful palate has provided me with a reminder of the rebirth, we all experience and are gifted through Christ our Lord. The past year has provided us with ample opportunity to reflect and reassess our lives and how we spend our time, our money and use our talents and gifts. As we move forward into the celebration of Christ’s resurrection, we have a new opportunity to be renewed, refreshed in this spring’s rebirth along with Christ’s emergence from death to life. We are promised new life through Christ – eternal life through the grace and love of God. I pray that the flowers, the sunshine, the celebration of Christ’s resurrection inspire in you a new heart, a new joy through God. May this newness help us all to share God’s love with one another – with all people. May we gather together (using safe practices) to renew and refresh in God’s love and call to worship, prayer and praise. And may you know that you are loved by Christ our risen Lord! Yours In Christ, Pr. Becky Horn Are you or a loved one desiring a visit from the pastor? Please contact Pastor Becky if you would like her to call or visit you at home, in the hospital, or another location.

Mission Support: A Deep Dive Did you know that ELCA members in more than 8,900 congregations in the United States and Caribbean give approximately $1.7 billion in regular offerings annually to support ELCA ministries in their local communities and worldwide? When members give through their congregations, about 5.5% of that money is shared with the local synod, which then shares a portion with the national churchwide office. This unrestricted giving from congregations is called Mission Support. Mission Support gives the ELCA both the foundation and the fuel to do God’s work in the world locally, nationally and internationally. Thank you for your faithful support! 41% OF MISSION SUPPORT GROWS THE ELCA IN THE UNITED STATES: Plant and support hundreds of new congregations. Enable congregations to renew their ministries and reach out to their surrounding communities. Develop and share resources for faith, discipleship, prayer, stewardship and worship. Work together with our African-descent, American Indian, Alaska Native, Arab, Middle Eastern, Asian, Pacific Islander and Latino/Latina leaders and members. Invest in technology and communication. Grow and sustain financial resources. Engage in research and strategic planning. 22% OF MISSION SUPPORT GROWS THE LUTHERAN CHURCH AND ADDRESSES ISSUES AROUND THE WORLD: As a member of the Lutheran World Federation, the ELCA is in communion with 147 other churches. ELCA synods relate directly to 65 companion churches through a total of 127 official relationships. The ELCA accompanies new Lutheran churches, expands ministries and trains leaders and evangelists. The ELCA sends missionaries — including Young Adults in Global Mission — who are the hands and feet of Jesus around the world. The ELCA addresses social issues and works for justice. 37% OF MISSION SUPPORT HELPS DEVELOP CURRENT AND FUTURE LEADERS IN THE ELCA: Prepare and implement a system for recruitment and assignment of rostered ministers. Identify and provide ministry resources and opportunities to lay leaders for networking. Offer events and leadership opportunities for youth and young adults. Support the work of seven ELCA seminaries and 26 ELCA colleges and universities. Provide coordination and support for churchwide ministries. Provide governance and leadership. Sustain ecumenical and interfaith relations. For additional resources, go to ELCA.org/SOFIA In Person Worship at St. Luke: In Person Worship has resumed. We are holding one In Person worship service on Sundays at 10:30am. Covid-19 procedures will continue to be in place with your temperature taken and a limited attendance of 45 people.

It is slightly different than the YouTube Worship at Home bulletin. Groups in St. Luke - The St. Luke Council voted to allow groups to use the building for activities and events. Groups that wish to resume using the building must schedule through the Church office and follow the protocols established for worship including wearing masks, remaining physically distant, answering health questions, and taking attendance for contact tracing. Groups must also designate a person to be the 'Cleaning Person.' Prior to the group's use of the building, the Cleaning Person must contact Pastor Becky, Derek Shaffer or Larry Frazier to set up a time to meet and discuss where the cleaning supplies are and learn the cleaning protocols. Once this meeting has occurred, the group may proceed with in person meetings that abide by current St. Luke policy. Currently the limit is up to 15% capacity for indoor events and gatherings. *Please be sure to see all policies and procedures for groups and in person worship that is posted in the narthex of St. Luke. Worship At Home—The Worship At Home service continues to be posted on the St. Luke Centre Hall YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCndvYdWpi7qSKld6Y8cnHMg for the foreseeable future. If you desire Communion at home, please contact Pr. Becky so that arrangements can be made. IMPORTANT - Please Note—If you do not have email or online access and would like to receive the printed Worship At Home Mailing, please speak with Pastor Becky or Patty or leave a message at the Church Office at 814-364-9154. Worship Plan: The 8:00 am has been temporarily suspended while we continue to navigate the pandemic. There are several required procedures that we are instituting in order to provide the least risk for gathering as a group. We ask that those who plan to attend any gatherings, including worship, at the church agree to abide by the recommendations for the health of all. Currently, Gov. Wolf has recommended 15% capacity for indoor events and gatherings and Council has agreed to follow the recommendations from the governor’s office. Procedure for In House Worship: A. Entry to the building will be limited to the main front doors. Doors will open approximately 15 minutes before the start of the service. Requirements will include: temperature check via an infrared thermometer, answering a few questions about any symptoms or exposure to Covid-19, a mask covering the nose and mouth, and having their name recorded for the potential of contact tracing. If a person has a fever over 100F, we will ask them to not join us inside for worship. If a person answers 'Yes' to any of the following questions, they will be asked to not join us inside for worship. They may be given a copy of the bulletin and reminded that virtual worship is available on St. Luke's YouTube channel. a. Do you have any cold, flu or COVID-19 symptoms? b. In the last 14 days have you been in close contact with anyone who has had COVID-19 or COVID- 19-like symptoms? c. In the last 10 days have you tested positive or are you awaiting results of a COVID-19 test? B. If a person meets the temperature and question requirements, but does not have a mask, one will be provided. C. People are asked to use hand sanitizer upon entry to the building. There is an automatic hand sanitizer stand in the narthex. D. Once in the sanctuary, people may sit by household or ‘pods’ in physically distanced pews. Bulletins are in each pew. Worshipers are asked to take bulletins with them and either deposit in the recycling bin on their way out or to bring them home. E. The worship service will be modified to limit time, congregational responses, and singing.

  • 166 AEOLIAN PROCESSES in PROCTOR CRATER on MARS: 2. MESOSCALE MODELING of DUNE-FORMING WINDS Lori K. Fenton and Mark I. Richards
    166 Chapter 4 AEOLIAN PROCESSES IN PROCTOR CRATER ON MARS: 2. MESOSCALE MODELING OF DUNE-FORMING WINDS Lori K. Fenton and Mark I. Richardson Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California Anthony D. Toigo Center for Radiophysics and Space Research, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York Abstract. Both atmospheric modeling and spacecraft imagery of Mars are now of sufficient quality that the two can be used in conjunction to acquire an understanding of regional- and local-scale aeolian processes on Mars. We apply a mesoscale atmospheric model adapted for use on Mars to Proctor Crater, a 150 km diameter crater in the southern highlands. Proctor Crater contains numerous aeolian features that indicate wind direction, including a large dark dunefield with reversing transverse and star dunes containing three different slipface orientations, small and older bright duneforms that are most likely transverse granule ripples, and seasonally erased dust devil tracks. Results from model runs spanning an entire year with a horizontal grid spacing of 10 km predict winds aligned with two of the three dune slipfaces as well as spring and summer winds matching the dust devil track orientations. The primary (most prevalent) dune slipface direction corresponds to a fall and winter westerly wind created by geostrophic forces. The tertiary dune slipface direction is caused by spring and summer evening katabatic flows down the eastern rim of the crater, influencing only the eastern portion of the crater floor. The dunes are trapped in 167 the crater because the tertiary winds, enhanced by topography, counter transport from the oppositely oriented primary winds, which originally carried sand into the crater.

  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • Crater Geometry and Ejecta Thickness of the Martian Impact Crater Tooting
    Meteoritics & Planetary Science 42, Nr 9, 1615–1625 (2007) Abstract available online at http://meteoritics.org Crater geometry and ejecta thickness of the Martian impact crater Tooting Peter J. MOUGINIS-MARK and Harold GARBEIL Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawai‘i, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96822, USA (Received 25 October 2006; revision accepted 04 March 2007) Abstract–We use Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) topographic data and Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) visible (VIS) images to study the cavity and the ejecta blanket of a very fresh Martian impact crater ~29 km in diameter, with the provisional International Astronomical Union (IAU) name Tooting crater. This crater is very young, as demonstrated by the large depth/ diameter ratio (0.065), impact melt preserved on the walls and floor, an extensive secondary crater field, and only 13 superposed impact craters (all 54 to 234 meters in diameter) on the ~8120 km2 ejecta blanket. Because the pre-impact terrain was essentially flat, we can measure the volume of the crater cavity and ejecta deposits. Tooting crater has a rim height that has >500 m variation around the rim crest and a very large central peak (1052 m high and >9 km wide). Crater cavity volume (i.e., volume below the pre-impact terrain) is ~380 km3 and the volume of materials above the pre-impact terrain is ~425 km3. The ejecta thickness is often very thin (<20 m) throughout much of the ejecta blanket. There is a pronounced asymmetry in the ejecta blanket, suggestive of an oblique impact, which has resulted in up to ~100 m of additional ejecta thickness being deposited down-range compared to the up-range value at the same radial distance from the rim crest.
