“I’m just saying…”
Lord and give thanks for; He is good all the time,
and all the time He is good.
Christ is the same yesterday, today and
tomorrow.
He is Risen, He is Risen indeed, Alleluia!
I remain your servant in Christ,
Pastor Ernie Worman (PEW)
A thought or two from Pastor Ernie Worman (PEW)
First, let me say, “thank you,” from my beloved
Annie and myself for the truly magnificent welcome
we have received from the good people of Our
Savior’s Lutheran Church and School. We are so
overwhelmed with joy and gratefulness to you and to
Pastor Jeff for offering us this summer opportunity to
serve God and community with you in San Clemente.
God’s love and hospitality is poured out upon us
through your Christian witness and welcome. Thank
you! In you we are truly blessed. Our prayers are
lifted high and often for Pastor Jeff as he embarks on
this summer sabbatical and on his fantastic family.
The Lord is with them and with us, let us serve God
in gladness and grace.
What does it mean to be, “church?” Pentecost is June
4th, fifty days after the Easter celebration, a day to
confirm our young adults who will make public
proclamation of their faith, another opportunity to
gather in an assembly of the faithful to worship the
Lord in prayer, praise, and adoration, and, the
birthday of the church. Pentecost is the day we
celebrate the power and promise of God, and, the
reception of His Holy Spirit upon the disciples
shortly after the ascension of Jesus into the Heavens.
Christ is the one who is seated at the right hand of the
Father. At Pentecost, we became truly, the church of
Christ in every age.
And, two thousand years later, here we are…The
Church gathered, claimed in baptism, fed by God’s
means of grace - the Holy Supper, and forgiven. The
Church is empowered in the same Holy Spirit as the
Day of Pentecost, and we are sent beyond our
borders, outside our zones of comfort, to love our
neighbors, care for the poor, preach the Gospel, teach
the Word of God, and welcome the dispossessed, the
outsiders, the unwashed, the sick and infirm. We are
called to give home to the lost, to welcome the
stranger, and, to gather together in joy, to worship the
The Messenger ~ June 2017 Our Savior’s Lutheran Church and School ▪ San Clemente, California

June 4th is Pentecost Sunday
Be sure to wear RED on Sunday, June 4th
to help us celebrate the day of Pentecost!
Traditionally Pentecost has been
considered the birthday of the church and

Holy Spirit that allowed everyone to hear

I t is June. The school year is winding down and so is the program year at Our Savior’s. As we wrap up the
program year, I would like to highlight some of the great work the music ministry does at Our Savior’s.
The Celebration Singers, our adult choir, has been providing beautiful choral music at Our Savior’s for
over 30 years. Each year we add new members. This group praises God with song at our 10:30 worship
as well as special services. They are on hiatus for the summer but will resume after Rally Day in the
fall. Maybe you would like to join us….
On Sunday evenings, we gather for our “Pause” worship service with music led by Rich Kirkpatrick.
“Pause” will continue through the summer. Join us at 6:00pm for worship and word throughout the
summer months.
Our very talented worship band provides music for both services throughout the program year. These
faithful musicians bring their gifts each Sunday for worship services, special services and special
congregational events. I really appreciate their dedication as they continue to support our worship
services throughout the summer.
We are so fortunate to have these wonderful musicians at our church. They share their gifts for the love of
God. BUT….just as important are God’s people in the pews – you and me – who make a joyful noise every
time we praise God with our voices.
Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings
and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD! Psalm 150:1-6
In His Service

A Full Circle June
Well here we are in June, WOW! The time goes by
SO quickly. This June is a very special one for me as
a youth leader, as the high school class of 2017 take
that big walk up on the stage in front of proud and
tearful families, I too will feel a little bit nostalgic.
You see this class is the first class that I have had the
privilege of joining in their faith walk from the sixth
grade through high school. As I look back on these
years I remember the first time I led them in the
Middle School Youth Group and how these kids have
grown from rowdy sixth graders into thoughtful
young men and women ready for the next step
knowing that they are loved by almighty God. It has
been my joy to share this journey with them and their
families. Together we have laughed, cried, sang,
prayed, and traveled the country serving the needy,
exploring our faith, and gaining insight into the heart
and mind of God, what a ride!
Along with the High School graduates we have a
wonderful class of Confirmands that will receive the
Rite of Confirmation this month, again a special class
for me as I have been very close to these kids since
they were in kindergarten. They are a very thoughtful
group and I am sure that they are ready to claim their
faith and be active members of our congregation as
well as the larger church.
We will also welcome our eighth grade students into
the High School Youth Group and our fifth grade
students will be welcomed into the Middle School
Youth Group on June 14th during our annual
“Welcome New Sixlets” BBQ!
But let’s not forget the little ones, from Monday, June
26 through Friday, June 30 we will again be hosting
the good people from LRCC (El Camino Pines and
Luther Glen) to our campus for “Vacation Day
Camp”! This is similar to VBS but with a couple of
notable differences, Day Camp is run by the young
adult camp counselors from El Camino Pines (our
Lutheran camp in the Los Padres National Forest) the
counselors bring the same programming and energy
from the camp to our campus for a week of camp fun
without ever leaving home, a great way for those that
might not be ready to be away from Mom and Dad
for a week in the mountains. Day Camp is open to
any child entering grades K-6 in the fall, see the
registration form in this newsletter for more details.
So here’s to a great summer filled with lots of
friendship and treasured memories.
Service with a smile,
Bob Cooper, Youth and Children’s Ministry
