Our Savior’s NewsletterO u r Sav io r ’s Lu the ran Church
We all like to be the strong one, the one who needs no help, the one who
gives aid to others. Then life can turn on a dime and we find ourselves
needing the helping hands of others. Being dependent on others can be
quite uncomfortable, even if it is, at times, necessary.
While we celebrate our country’s independence from Great Britain, we
also realize how much we depend upon one another. Interdependence is a
more realistic word to describe our life as the Church. Jesus is our head
and we have been knit into a mystical body where when one rejoices, all
rejoice; while at the time one grieves, we all grieve.
Thank you for thinking of those who have no where to go to get away from
the heat! Bottles of water and funding to assist with AC costs at Grace
Lutheran as they provide shelter are beautiful examples of our
interdependence. While we just delivered 4,000 bottles, we learned that is
merely a one-day supply! Thank you for your generosity!
The Apostle Paul said it well in his letter to the church in Galatia: “Bear
one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
6:2 NRSV
Loving one another is not just great interdependence, it is the very “law of
Christ.”
Enjoy your summer as you serve / are served!

2018 Synod Assembly Notes
An amazing experience! That’s how I would sum up my time at the 2018 Synod Assembly.
This was not the first Assembly I had attended but it was the first time I had been to one that
elected a new Bishop. Now I’m not exactly a “doubting Thomas” but it was very difficult for me
to understand how the election process was supposed to go. “What do you mean nobody puts in
for the office ahead of time? They just wait to be moved by the Holy Spirit? Then everybody
can nominate someone? That’ll never work!” Now of course it works! It’s been working in this
manner for many years. I just had to see it for myself. The opening service on Thursday
evening was very moving. The sanctuary was filled with beautiful voices that rose to the
rafters and spilled over into every listening heart. Then the process started, and it was
completed 5 votes and two days later. Our Synod made history! The final three nominations
included a man of Hispanic heritage and a female. The Reverend Deborah Hutterer was
elected as our new Bishop. There were several other items of business conducted at this
Assembly that were of general interest. Our own Pr. Mills was elected as a member of the
Synod Council! Several resolutions were passed. If you’re interested in finding out what else
was discussed, let me know. I would be glad to share my notes with you and talk about the
entire experience. Thank you all for the opportunity to represent Our Saviors at this
important Assembly.

Old Business:God’s Work Our Hands in September will be “Packages From Home”. This is a 501c3
organization that collects and distributes items to American servicemen and their serviceanimals overseas. We will be collecting items and packaging them. Kim McCracken wasgiven the lists of items being collected for the servicemen and their service animals. TheVBS children will write notes to the soldiers or their service animals to be included in thepackages and collect some of the items.
The handrail to the altar area has been installed. The Property Team has been asked tocheck into a handrail up to the second level of the choir risers.

Harmony wellness will be at the Gold Canyon campus June 14th and 15th .Worship times were discussed once again. Janice has compiled the information emailed to
her by members. There were only ten responses. One wanted to leave things as theyhave been, two chose Option A, three took Option B and 2 selected Option C. As thechoices of service times were included in the newest Newsletter and online, it was decidedto wait another month for a decision on whether to make a change. It is hoped morepeople would voice their concerns.

Kim McCracken brought information on first aid and CPR training. The company isAmerican Emergency Response and there is a charge. It was suggested that she contactthe Fire Dept. to see if they would provide a reminder class on CPR and use of our AED(defibrillator). We probably have few members who could get up and down to the floor to

GOLD CANYON WORSHIP
”I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and theywill listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.” - John 10:16 NRSV
Jesus is passionate about all of the sheep, including those outside of the fold. We have been sorichly blessed with a wonderful community of worshippers by the Holy Spirit. At the sametime, as we take Jesus seriously, we are filling up at our 10 am service. This virtually prohibitsus from inviting or welcoming others from outside of “this fold.”
Church growth experts argue that a sanctuary is functionally full when it reaches 80% of ca-pacity (some people like a little personal space). There are a limited number of solutions availa-ble, only a few which make sense: 1. Push out the walls to add more seating; 2. Build a largersanctuary; 3. Add additional worship time(s) to make room.
As a coordinating committee, we have been wrestling for two months as to how to do this faith-fully. We would like to invite you, as part of the Gold Canyon branch of Our Savior’s Lutheran,to join us in prayer and fasting on Saturday, May 19th, to seek God’s wisdom on how we mightreach more of those whom Jesus so loves. So far, we have looked at three options for high sea-son:
Current Option A Option B Option C
Saturday – 4 PM Saturday – 4 PM Saturday – 4 PM Saturday – 4 PMSunday – 8 AM Sunday – 7:45 AM Sunday – 7:30 AM Sunday – 8 AMSunday – Open Sunday – 9 AM Sunday – 9 AM Sunday – 9:30 AMSunday – 10 AM Sunday – 10:15 AM Sunday – 10:30 AM Sunday – 11 AM
By adding a service between the two Sunday services, we allow room for all of us to welcomeand invite those who are not of “this fold.” As with any change, there is the unknown. Yet Godcontinually calls us out of our comfort zones to expand God’s kingdom work.
One of the beauties of our worship space, is that with our flexible seating, we can arrange thechairs to reflect the size of the worshipping community to a point. We can expand/contract ourseating as necessary on a week-to-week basis. If this is indeed of God, we can all expectantlyparticipate in what God is doing in our midst.
At a minimum, join with us in prayer and fasting, as together we seek the mind of God in ourworship. Please email your thoughts, insights, and ideas to: Janice Cunningham [email protected] or visit with one of your coordinating committee members:
