I know that we are feeling these words from Jesus…Last month we celebrated Pastor Erin’s Ordination (at St.

Andrew’s-Minnesota) and her installation at St. John’s. We are grateful that God has brought us all together and is

now sending us out to share God’s transformational word of grace, hope and love.

We also celebrate Robin Weinbender, our new church office administrator. She is full time and in addition to the basic

secretarial duties she will also be, keeping the master calendar, scheduling outside events, handling many church

financial transactions, working closely with the pastors and maintaining the church office. Please make some time to

welcome Robin.

This month we will follow Jesus command to be "sent out" into the community as we host PEP Pine Street

Elementary Party on August 16th. This is an exciting and interactive way of connecting with our neighborhood

school…their staff, parents and children. If you would like to be involved in this event, please call the church office.

Also, on the Sunday prior (August 11th), the principal of the school will be our guest speaker during both worship

services. Sunday School Rally day will be on August 18th. There will be some presentations about the new

Faith formation classes that will be offered to help us grow deeper in our relationship with God.

Please continue to read this newsletter to get more details about PEP and Rally Day as well as

the many other activities that God is encouraging us to experience that will help us have the

confidence to be “sent out” to share the Love of God.

Peace,

Pastor Mike

Blast From The Past This article was from a bulletin from years

past

WHAT A SAD DAY it would be for us if the creator and sustainer of the universe, the redeemer and comforter of man

would take a rest this summer. We might be praying at home or in church and suddenly an impression of loneliness

would come upon us. We would sense that no one was listening to our supplications. If that happened Christ would

cease to be the center of our lives and the Christian conscience governing our morals would not exist. Men's evil

tendencies would flourish without restraint. Of course this will not happen because God has promised he will be with

us always. But didn't we promise God that we would serve him always too? Excluding him from our vacation plans is

falling short of this promise. A respite from our regular jobs should give us the time to seek new ways of serving and

worshiping him.

Many will use their vacations to visit religious landmarks and famous churches. Good churchmen will go out of their

way to attend services each Sunday while traveling. Others will find time to catch up on their religious reading with

such books as The Basic Bible, a new translation using a vocabulary of 1,000 words; Mr. Jones, Meet the Master, by

the late Peter Marshall; Signs of Hope, by Elton Trueblood; The Art of Real Happiness, by Norman Vincent Peale;

Prisoners of Hope, by H.C. Alleman; and Her We Have Stars, by the late Margaret R. Seebach.

VACATIONS are an important part of our way of life. They give us a chance to break away from the tedium of books

and blackboards, the roar of the factory, the humdrum monotony of housework. Vacations mean relaxation from

physical and mental toil, the opportunity to restore the vitality which our daily tasks have taken. Nor matter where we

go or what we do, God should be included in our plans. He never takes a holiday. Not for one second has he relaxed

his love and care for us. In gratitude we should not plan a vacation without him.

Wednesday Prayer Services continue this summer. This will be an opportunity for

members to pray for each other every Wednesday from 12:15-1:00pm in the nave. This will

run from May 29th – August 28

th. During this summer prayer experience there will be soft

music playing in the background as participants will take a prayer guide that will help them

pray for St. John’s, pray for the needs of others as the Holy Spirit leads, and reflect upon

what God is saying to each person. There will be pages dedicated to embracing A.C.T.S.

(Adoration/Praise, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication/Intercession). There will also be a

sheet containing those members and friends on our church’s prayer list and an opportunity for

each participant to lift up prayers for themselves.

This will be a self-led prayerful experience and open to everyone. Please make plans to at least try this unique

opportunity to deepen your relationship with God. At 11am there will be a Bible Study in the PLC conference room

led by Leslie Connor and John Scherberger.

Our regular Wednesday schedule will resume on September 4th as do you ever have that need for a pick me up mid-

week? Sometimes going from Sunday to Sunday and not hearing words of grace, love, forgiveness, mercy and hope

can be a challenge in our world currently. Join the Pastor’s of St. John’s for a mid-week Bible Study, Worship

Experience and Lunch starting September 4th. Bible Study begins at 11am with Worship at 12:15pm and Lunch at

1:00pm, all are welcome.

Learning more about St. John’s Nominating Committee…

Every year in November we have our Annual Congregational meeting. As a part of that

meeting we elect people to become members of our church council. The Nominating

committee is comprised of the outgoing members of council and the senior pastor. This

year, they have already begun meeting and are in the process of discerning who God

wants to be part of the leadership for next year.

The Nominating Committee prays for each other, for God’s wisdom in seeking qualified

candidates who would be assets in the leadership of this congregation and prays over

each candidate during this whole process. Some of the qualities this group looks for in

future leaders are as follows:

a. Models the life of a steward

b. Attends worship services regularly

c. Seeks to grow, and help others grow, in their relationship with Christ

d. Willing to assume responsibility to discern God’s will when making decisions for the

congregation

e. Understands, or is willing to learn what it means to live a life of a disciple

f. Likes to have fun

g. Wants to learn more about how to be active, and help others become active, in the mission and ministries of the

church

h. Regularly attend monthly council meetings and represent a committee

i. Sees the purpose of active ministry, instead of just maintaining ministry

j. Willing to commit the time and creative energy needed to fulfill these

expectations

As you can see, there is much more to this prayerful process of discerning future leaders

of St. John’s than you may think. We will be including the nominating committee in our

prayers over the next several Sundays as they continue meeting and seeking God’s

guidance. If you happened to be contacted by the Nominating Committee, please

remember what you have read, and know that much prayerful deliberation has been given

in contacting you to consider serving as an elected leader of the church.

Pine Street Elementary Party)… Friday August 16th 10am—1pm. Our fourth collaborative

"Meet the Teacher/Registration” event. St. John’s will host the families for lunch, have activities with the Boy Scouts,

visits from the fire and police departments, and active fun with inflatable play structures and use of our wonderful

playground. PEP is a great way for us to be a good neighbor to the school and to show the community that our doors

are always open! If you would like to volunteer, please contact Martha Sigmon [email protected] . We’ll

need extra hands all week as we prepare, host, and clean up!

K The ELCA Churchwide Assembly, the primary decision-making body of the church, is a process of communal

spiritual discernment. Finding ourselves in Christ, the fifteenth Churchwide Assembly will be a time for us to be the

living body of Christ guided by the Spirit and conformed to God’s will.

We will meet at the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, August 5-10, 2019 to discuss and make decisions about how to go about God’s work as a church. This year the assembly will gather under the theme “We are church.”

When the ELCA Churchwide Assembly convenes, its voting members meet with confidence in God’s grace around

word and water, wine and bread, to carry on their work on behalf the entire church. Over the course of the assembly,

voting members:

• Hear reports and review the work of church wide officers, leaders and units;

• Receive and consider proposals from synod assemblies;

• Elect officers, board members and other leaders as specified by the constitution or bylaws;

• Establish ELCA church wide policy;

• Worship together;

• Adopt a budget; and

• Conduct other business related to the ELCA church wide organization.

Let me also highlight one of the important responsibilities of the assembly -- the election of the Presiding Bishop and

Secretary as well as persons to the Church Council and to church wide boards and committees. Voting members will

receive information regarding nomination and election processes in early 2019. Please think about gifted people willing to serve this church.

As we prepare ourselves for the 2019 Churchwide Assembly, let’s remember that it is a process of communal spiritual

discernment to bring about God’s will for God’s people. Together, we will worship, pray, engage in Bible study, deliberate and conduct business in plenary sessions.

When members of the assembly participate in and make decisions about the mission and ministry of the ELCA: We

are church. We are Lutheran. We are church together. We are church for the sake of the world.

God’s blessings,

Elizabeth A. Eaton

Presiding Bishop
