STEWARDSHIP

Jesus wants us to live abundantly. And as believers he also wants us to live fruitfully,

meaning he wants to produce fruit, “kingdom fruit!” Our Savior’s stewardship team is

just now beginning to put together a ministry that will encourage Fruitful Living for

our members. By next fall we will develop a process that will allow members to ac-

quaint themselves with opportunities here for investment of gifts and talents. For next

fall or spring we are working to put funding in place that will allow us to offer Dave

Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, a Christian ministry that teaches biblical princi-

ples of financial management that is centered on paying off debts, remaining debt free

and then living in such a way that money is a “faith tool” rather than an overlord. This

month we will be encouraging our members to make a pledge to support the work and ministries of our congrega-

tion. We look forward to sharing Fruitful Living news with you as we plan and implement what we believe will

be an important and vital ministry in the life of Our Savior’s.

NARTHEX REMODELING PROJECT

As you all know the narthex is in need of a facelift. This remodel would

make our narthex an inviting and eye-pleasing space, while creating a

good first impression to our visitors and our members. This plan calls

for new carpet and tile squares for the floor, the walls would get a new

color and design. We also would be adding loveseats and tables along

the windows to create a place for conversation and bible studies, to foster

relationship building. The coffee service area would be updated with

new cabinets, as well as new cabinets for an information area. The

Building and Grounds team has been chatting about this for some time.

What has gotten this Project rolling was the Spring Musical Committee

offering the spring plant sales profits to this wonderful idea! That money

alone will not fund the entire project and it will require us to launch a

fundraising campaign, we’re calling, Show You Care, Buy a Square!

At worship in April you will be hearing more about this wonderful opportunity to improve the look of our

church! We’re asking for contributions of $50 per square. That would be for a square foot of carpet, tile, paint or

wood for the cabinets. It is possible to see a new narthex by Rally Day this September 2013, if each family

would give just $50. Look for a pledge form online or stop by the office. If you have questions contact one of the

Narthex Project Team members:

-Jim Rauner, John Ragner, Todd Meyer, Jennifer Sylvester, Joy Rauner, Pat Feine, Brian Sanderson,

Donna Juran, Roy Feine, Karen Richtsmeier

WHAT IS EARTH DAY?

Earth Day (www.earthday.org) is observed on April

22 and was started in the United States in 1970 by

Senator Gaylord Nelson to create awareness for the

Earth's environment and to encourage conservation

efforts. In 1990, Earth Day was taken international,

and today, more than 500 million people in 175

countries observe Earth Day! There are numerous

events to participate in locally to show your support

for the earth on the weekend prior to Earth Day.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

July 29-August 2

For 3 year olds – 5th graders

At this exciting global fair your

children will experience the love

of Jesus, meet welcoming

neighbors from the Bible,

and explore the everyday life

of neighbors from Japan,

Zimbabwe, the United Kingdom, Australia and

Mexico. Kids will learn that God’s love welcomes

everyone, as they understand how to love and serve

God and be a neighbor to the world. Registration

forms are available now in the church office.

SPRING MUSICAL

“Malice in the Palace, the

Story of Esther”, a Christian

musical presented by Our

Savior’s K-12th graders will

be performed at Our Sav-

ior’s on Saturday, May 4 at

7:00 pm and during regular

worship services on Sunday

May 5.

The story of Esther has all

the ingredients for a great

Hollywood thriller; a beauti-

ful and spirited heroine, a dark-hearted villain, a twist-

ing plot full of danger and intrigue, and a cliffhanger of

a climax. And in the midst of this excitement we find a

powerful message the smallest person acting bravely

can make an enormous difference, for God has placed

us where we are for a reason.

We hope you can join us for the last musical perfor-

mance of a 23 year run for directors Joy Rauner and

Jeanne Zaske.

As for Pastors Amanda and Horacio, both of them will

work with the Saint Paul Area Synod candidacy com-

mittee as they move through the process. Amanda is a

native of Northfield, MN, and was originally approved

as an ELCA candidate, so the process will be relatively

simple for her, and Horacio will likely need to do some

coursework at Luther Seminary and receive additional

training before he would able to serve in an ELCA

congregation. They plan to move to Minnesota this

spring to begin this work.

We ask for your patience and your continued prayers

as we move together into the future, prayers that the

God who brought us together in this life-giving

relationship will continue to bless, strengthen, and

guide us all into the future. Regular updates on the

transition process will be posted on the Saint Paul Area

Synod website (http://www.spas-elca.org/mission/

global-relationships/guatemala#Transitions), and addi-

tional questions can be directed to Janet Metcalfe, chair

of the SPAS Guatemala Companion Synod Task Force

([email protected]), or to Pastor Paul Erickson,

SPAS Synod staff ([email protected]).


GUATEMALA UPDATE

Those of you who are familiar with the synod’s

companion relationship with the Augustinian

Lutheran Church of Guatemala (ILAG) have come to

know Pastor Amanda Olson de Castillo and her

husband Pastor Horacio Castillo. They have served

as the primary contacts for us, coordinating

delegation visits, facilitating communication between

our churches, and giving oversight to the financial

contributions we have sent. In late January, Pastors

Amanda and Horacio announced their decision to

move from Guatemala to the United States, where

they will seek to serve as pastors in the ELCA.

The factors that led to this decision are many and

complex, and we pray that God will continue to walk

with all who have so greatly benefited from their

work and who are impacted by this decision.

The leadership of both of the ILAG’s companion

synods, the Southeastern Synod and the Saint Paul

Area Synod, have been in conversation with Global

Mission personnel and the leadership of the ILAG as

we begin to plan for this transition. Most of the

decisions about how the ILAG will now handle the

many dimensions of the companion relationships will

be made by Bishop Castillo and the rest of the ILAG

leadership. Our role as companions will be to

accompany, support, and provide assistance when

requested. Bishops Rogness (SPAS), Gordy (SES),

and Castillo (ILAG) will participate in a conference

call in the coming weeks to discuss how we can

continue to walk together.


MISSION GUATEMALA 2013

Our delegation has grown to seven people: Deanine

Mann, Kirsten Hawkes, Juli Smith, Anna Ehrmantraut,

Chelsea Gilbert, Emily Danielson, and Billie Edwards.

We will be traveling to Guatemala June 9-16. We will

30 HOUR FAMINE

April 19 8:00 AM-April 20 2:00 PM

Think you can go a whole day without eating any

food? What if I told you that it is not only possible,

but that you could also raise money to support children

who are not getting enough food on a regular basis

while you do it. The 30 hour famine is a middle school

and high school event designed for youth to raise

money to help support hungry children across the

world while having fun and spending time with one

another. Every $30 we raise is enough money to feed

one child for a whole month! Youth can sign up and

pick up fundraising packets outside of Nick and

Charisse’s office. We also have a website that people

can donate electronically: go to 30hourfamine.org/

donate and search for Our Savior’s Lutheran Church.

On Friday, April 19th we will start our famine

at 8:00 AM as the students are going to school that

day. At 4:00 PM students will arrive at Our Savior’s

with the money they have raised and we will spend the

night at the church and break our fast at 2:00 PM Sat-

urday afternoon. During our time together we will be

learning more about and getting a firsthand glimpse of

some struggles and dangers people have to deal with

everyday through a series of games called TRIBE:

REFUGEE. TRIBE is a survivor type game where

teams will compete in games which focus on various

refugee survival skills. If you have any questions about

the 30 hour famine please contact Nick Gilbert:

ROBERTA DALE RETIRES!

In 1988, Democratic presidential candidate Michael

Dukakis made the mistake of posing in a tank and

Republican vice-presidential nominee Dan Quayle

learned he was no Jack Kennedy. In 1988, CDs

outsold vinyl LPs for the first time and a NASA

scientist first warned congress about global warming

and the effects of greenhouse gases. In 1988 Roy

Orbison died and Rihanna was born. In 1988 Roberta

Dale joined the staff of Our Savior’s. Twenty-Five

years later, in 2013, Berta will be retiring.

In September of 2012, Berta’s husband, Pastor Luther

Dale, scaled back to semi-retirement at Incarnation

Lutheran Church. Berta, our Director of Children’s

Ministries, was hoping to retire at the same time, but

agreed to stay on till the end of the calendar year.

When we learned of Pastor Karn’s call to a church in

Phoenix, Berta volunteered to stay on through May of

2013. We did our best to convince her to remain

through May of 2023, but, alas, her grandkids and

traveling won out. We are not letting Berta go,

however, without a party to celebrate her Twenty-Five

wonderful years with us. So if you have competing

plans for the morning of Sunday, April 28. Please

cancel them, and join us as we take send Berta off in

style and bid her the Godspeed she so richly deserves.

There will be more details to come in By the Ways and

Facebook postings, but go ahead right now and mark

your calendars for Roberta Dale Day, the morning

of Sunday, April 28!
