From the Pastor
Pure and Undefiled Religion
Did you know that religion is defined just once in all of scripture?
James 1:27 is where we find it: “Religion that is pure and undefiled before
God the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and
to keep oneself unstained by the world.” In the New Testament era,
orphans and widows were the neediest members of society; in many cases
they were totally without support. The early church took seriously its need
to care for these most vulnerable members of its community. The modern
Church continues to understand that a very important aspect of its ministry
is to care for those who are least able to care for themselves.
While orphans are rare in our society (thank God!), and widows often
receive pensions, Social Security, Medicare, and survivors’ benefits, human
need remains very real. ELCA Hunger Appeal and programs like it, our own
Heart ‘n’ Hands Mission, Lutheran World Relief, Lutheran Social Services of
NJ, are all ways in which we ourselves contribute to assisting the poor, the
hungry, the homeless, and others who are in need.
Even if the financial standing of widows and other seniors has greatly
improved in recent years, there is still vital ministry to be done in these
circles. By my count there are fifteen seniors who either live in special care
facilities or are largely homebound. Throughout my years of ministry I’ve
made it a point to keep close watch over institutionalized and homebound
members. I still make regular visits to these folks, administering the
Sacrament of Holy Communion, praying with them, and conversing. Shut-
in visits are an important aspect of the church’s ministry. Not only does
this visitation fulfill the demands of James’ definition of true religion, but it
reminds the homebound that, despite their absence from our weekly
fellowship, God and his people are always with them. The transitions from
activity to relative inactivity, from independent living to assisted living or
skilled nursing, from freedom of movement to confinement, are some of
the most difficult we’ll ever face. As Christ has promised his disciples that
he would not leave them “as orphans” (John 14:18), but send the Holy
Spirit to them in the wake of his return to his Father, so he promises to
abide with us through life’s changes. This is why visiting the sick and shut-
in is an essential aspect of Christian ministry; when we visit those in need,
Christ accompanies us. I’ve also found that this ministry is reciprocal –
while my intention is to minister to those I visit, they usually minister to me
as well. Remember that Jesus says, “Where two are three are gathered,
there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). Jesus works in both
directions when we gather in his name: he speaks through the visitor, as
well as the visited!
This vital ministry is not the sole domain of the clergy. Most of our
homebound folks would be happy to see other St. Timothy members, not
just me. If you’re interested in visiting our shut-ins, either with me, singly,
or in small teams of fellow members, please let me know. I’m sure you’ll
find, just as I have, that the time spent is enjoyable and edifying.
In Jesus’ name,

MEMORIALS
Since May 15, 2019, gifts were given to the Cliff and Grace Flanders Scholarship Loan Fund in memory of:
Loved Ones of Alice Hamm There were no Memorial purchases during this month. Memorial Garden funds were used for engraving of pavers, as well as weeding, trimming, staking and application of chemicals to the Garden.
No Memorial Garden pavers were purchased this month, so our paver total stands at 114. The price of a paver is $300.00. Checks may be made to St. Timothy Memorial Fund, with the words “Memorial Garden” on the memo line. Pavers may be engraved with the names of deceased loved ones, or left blank for future engraving. Paver application sheets are available in the narthex. See Pat
Winters for further information or assistance. The Memorial Garden is self-supporting; gifts are welcome at all times! We also welcome contributions to the fund for restoration and enhancement of our Church organ. The work is on-going and should be completed very soon. Checks may be made to St. Timothy Memorial Fund, with the words “Organ Repair” on the memo line. We are grateful to all who have given to the St. Timothy Memorial Funds – the General Memorial Fund, the Music Fund, the George Laubscher Monday Morning Fund, the Memorial Garden Fund, the Eternal Light Candle Fund, and the Flanders/Schleer Scholarship Loan Funds – and for the faithful repayments to the loan funds. We welcome additional contributions as we assist families with the high price of college.

We will begin collecting items for the

Thank you!
I was talking to Jaclyn Langschultz several weeks before Confirmation and she mentioned she had to learn the books of the Bible. When I was young I had to learn them too, but now I fumble through the Bible to find a certain book. I'm good in the Old Testament through 1st and 2nd Samuel but then it gets fuzzy. In the New Testament it's only around Acts that's a surety. So my summer project is to re-learn the order of the books. Join me if you are a little fuzzy too.
I'd also love to put some of your favorite Bible verses in the Tips newsletter. Give me one of yours over the summer and I'll put them in the Tips in the fall.
Have a wonderful summer! As you are busy don't forget to contact some of your friends who can't get out. We have quite a few members who are housebound and would love a call or visit.
See you in church.

CARING FOR A MINOR CHILD
This information is not only for grandparents but for anyone who cares for minor children.
Grandparents and other elders are playing a larger and larger role in the care of young children in our community. Many grandparents care for children while parents are at work — for a few hours, when needed, or during a difficult period such as a divorce.
In all such instances, older adults may need to take a child to a doctor or hospital for emergency treatment. If the caregiver is not the legal guardian or custodian, they are not able to give consent for medical treatment. It is important to obtain a medical consent from the parent before a medical issue or emergency arises. Sometimes it can take time to find a parent who may be out of town or on vacation. Having a medical consent form prevents the hassles of going to court and requesting emergency legal custody. When a grandparent or other elder becomes a primary caregiver, the medical consent should be completed immediately.
If permission from a parent cannot be obtained, the child cannot be treated, unless it is a life-threatening emergency.
A temporary medical power of attorney for each child allows a caregiver to make medical decisions for the child on behalf of the parents. Parents commonly use this type of power of attorney to ensure their child’s safety if they’re going to be unavailable to give consent to emergency treatments.
The Medical Consent Act allows a parent or legal custodian to authorize another person to consent to medical care for children by completing and signing a simple document, available from many local organizations including Chilton Hospital.
The Child Medical Consent Form is a legal document providing someone other than the parents or legal guardian to have temporary rights to seek and provide healthcare and make healthcare decisions on behalf of their child.
It’s important to know the child’s medical history, including any allergies and any medicines the child takes. Also have information about the child’s insurance coverage and phone number for the child’s doctor.
In Jesus love, Barbara Johanson
