Most parents want a preschool that is warm and loving, provides the basic skills, and eases the transition into kindergarten, in a positive, reinforcing environment where their child can have fun! St. Mark Lutheran Preschool offers a combination of all these elements, providing a loving environment where students can grow in separate classes for three and four year old children. The three year old class is held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, while the four year old class meets Monday to Friday; both run from 9:00 a.m. until noon.

Classes are held from September to June, following the North Tonawanda school schedule. The three year olds are led by Reanna Richner and her aide, Miss Lisa. The four year olds are taught by Sandy Sledziewski and her aide, Miss Elaine. The classes are held in separate rooms but they will sometimes participate in joint events in the gym or outside, or when there are special visitors. Classrooms are self-contained and secure, with adjacent bathrooms and cubby areas. Once the children are inside, the outside doors are locked with admittance allowed by the church secretary. Outside doors in the classrooms are heavy, so children cannot push them open. An inside playground and gym make the building self-sufficient.

I met with Sandy and Elaine and it’s easy

to see that they really enjoy this calling. Both are mothers and grandmothers, and members of the church. Sandy started in 1999 and has loved working with the children ever since. Elaine has been her aide for about two years, taking eagerly to the task, even bringing in her own activities cart. The small class size of about 10-15 children lets them to get to know each child as a person. Sandy said they create a positive and accepting environment, where children are taught that “I can do it!” There is always something different going on and time flies by, they said. After free time, children disperse to one of the centers for reading, kitchen activities, puppet play or fine motor skills. There may be circle time where children learn about calendars, colors, shapes or counting. The reading center is used frequently, with a helpful bookworm getting children interested in stories.

Sandy and Elaine could barely list all the activities children participate in during the year, but said they work to make them all fun. Time is spent learning art, gym, music, academic skills, science experiments, small and large motor skills, discipline, manners, social skills, and cleanliness. One-on-one time is provided for children who need help building specific skills such as writing or counting. Field trips include going to a farm

for apples and pumpkins and a walk to Platter’s for ice cream. Sometimes the school brings in firemen, a dentist or an ambulance crew to talk to the children. Parties are held to celebrate birthdays, Halloween, and Valentine’s Day. There is a Thanksgiving feast and at Christmas they have a birthday party for Jesus, then Santa arrives.

Religion is present, but the teachers don’t make it overpowering. They tell stories about God because they feel it is important for children to learn there is a God who teaches us how to treat each other. Because they have children from Catholic, Baptist and Lutheran backgrounds, the teachers show the children that God is present in their lives in a general way. There are prayers at snack time, at the end of the day and for those who are sick or absent.

Twice a month they attend chapel with the pastor and Liz Hurst, Director of Youth and Family Services, who teach in a fun way so the children can come to know Jesus. They sometimes sing in church services and are always welcome at church functions, but the family does not have to belong to the church for the child to attend the preschool. Families receive the church newsletter and children are encouraged to attend Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, or Kingdom Bible School.

GET TO KNOW...Lutheran Parish of the Tonawandas

July 2012 — CCC Bulletin — 3

Christianity is unique among religions, for it alone offers a personal relationship with the Creator beginning here and now, and lasting throughout eternity. Jesus declared, “This is eternal life – that they may know God” ( Jn. 17:2). Unfortunately, many in the Church miss the great blessing of fellowship with our Lord because we have lost the ability to recognize His voice within us. Though we have the promise that “My sheep hear My voice,” too many believers are starved for that intimate relationship that alone can satisfy the desire of their hearts.

I was one of those sheep who was deaf to his Shepherd until the Lord revealed four very simple keys (found in Habakkuk 2:1, 2) that unlocked the treasure of His voice.

Key #1 – God’s voice in your heart often sounds like a flow of spontaneous thoughts.

Habakkuk knew the sound of God speaking to him (Hab. 2:2). Elijah described it as a still, small voice (I Kings 19:12). I had always listened for an inner audible voice, and God does speak that way at times. However, I have found that usually, God’s voice comes as spontaneous thoughts, visions, feelings, or impressions.

For example, haven’t you been driving down the road and had a thought come to you to pray for a certain person? Didn’t you believe it was God telling you to pray? What did God’s voice sound like? Was it an audible voice, or was it a spontaneous thought that lit upon your mind?

Experience indicates that we perceive spirit-level communication as spontaneous thoughts, impressions and visions, and Scripture confirms this in many ways. For example, one definition of paga, a Hebrew word for intercession, is “a chance encounter or an accidental intersecting.” When

God lays people on our hearts, He does it through paga, a chance-encounter thought “accidentally” intersecting our minds.

Therefore, when you want to hear from God, tune to chance-encounter or spontaneous thoughts.

Key #2 – Become still so you can sense God’s flow of thoughts and emotions within.

Habakkuk said, “I will stand on my guard post...” (Hab. 2:1). Habakkuk knew that to hear God’s quiet, inner, spontaneous thoughts, he had to first go to a quiet place and still his own thoughts and emotions. Psalm 46:10 encourages us to be still, and know that He is God. There is a deep inner knowing (spontaneous flow) in our spirits that each of us can experience when we quiet our flesh and our minds. If we are not still, we will sense only our own thoughts.

Loving God through a quiet worship song is one very effective way to become still. (Note II Kings 3:15.) After I worship and become silent within, I open myself for that spontaneous flow. If thoughts come of things I have forgotten to do, I write them down and dismiss them. If thoughts of guilt or unworthiness come, I repent thoroughly, receive the washing of the blood of the Lamb, putting on His robe of righteousness, seeing myself spotless before God (Is. 61:10; Col. 1:22).

To receive the pure word of God, it is very important that my heart be properly focused as I become still because my focus is the source of the intuitive flow. If I fix my eyes upon Jesus, the intuitive flow comes from Jesus. But if I fix my gaze upon some desire of my heart, the intuitive flow comes out of that desire. To have a pure flow I must become still and carefully fix my eyes upon Jesus. Again, quietly worshiping the King, and receiving out of the stillness that follows quite easily accomplishes this.

Fix your gaze upon Jesus (Heb. 12:2), becoming quiet in His presence and sharing with Him what is on your heart. Spontaneous thoughts will begin to flow from the throne of God to you, and you will actually be conversing with the King of Kings!

Key #3 – As you pray, fix the eyes of your heart upon Jesus, seeing in the Spirit the dreams and visions of Almighty God.

Habakkuk said, “I will keep watch to see,” and God said, “Record the vision” (Hab. 2:1,2). Habakkuk was actually looking for vision as he prayed. He opened the eyes of his heart, and looked into the spirit world to see what God wanted to show him. This is an intriguing idea.

God has always spoken through dreams and visions, and He specifically said that they would come to those upon whom the Holy Spirit is poured out (Acts 2:1-4, 17).

I had never thought of opening the eyes of my heart and looking for vision. However, I have come to believe that this is exactly what God wants me to do. He gave me eyes in my heart to see in the spirit the vision and movement of Almighty God. There is an active spirit world all around us, full of angels, demons, the Holy Spirit, the omnipresent Father, and His omnipresent Son, Jesus. The only reasons for me not to see this reality are unbelief or lack of knowledge.

In order to see, we must look. Daniel saw a vision in his mind and said, “I was looking...I kept looking...I kept looking” (Dan. 7:2,9,13). As I pray, I look for Jesus, and I watch as He speaks to me, doing and saying the things that are on His heart. Many Christians will find that if they will only look, they will see, in the same way they receive spontaneous thoughts. Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us (Matt. 1:23). It is as simple as that.

You can see Christ present with you because Christ is present with you. In fact, the vision may come so easily that you will be tempted to reject it, thinking that it is just you. But if you persist in recording these visions, your doubt will soon be overcome by faith as you recognize that the content of them could only be birthed in Almighty God.

Jesus demonstrated the ability of living out of constant contact with God, declaring that He did nothing on His own initiative, but only what He saw the Father doing, and heard the Father saying ( Jn. 5:19,20,30). What an incredible way to live!

Is it possible for you to live out of divine initiative as Jesus did? Yes! Fix your eyes upon Jesus. The veil has been torn, giving access into the immediate presence of God, and He calls you to draw near (Lk. 23:45; Heb. l0: 19-22). “I pray that the eyes of your heart will be enlightened….”

Key #4 – Journaling, the writing out of your prayers and God’s answers, brings great freedom in hearing God’s voice.

God told Habakkuk to record the vision (Hab. 2:2). This was not an isolated command. The Scriptures record many examples of individual’s prayers and God’s replies (e.g. the Psalms, many of the prophets, Revelation).

I call the process “two-way journaling,” and I have found it to be a fabulous catalyst for clearly discerning God’s inner, spontaneous flow, because as I journal I am able to write in faith for long periods of time, simply believing it is God. I know that what I believe I have received from God must be tested. However, testing involves doubt and doubt blocks divine communication, so I do not want to test while I am trying to receive. With journaling, I can receive in faith, knowing that when the flow has ended I can test and examine it carefully, making

sure that it lines up with Scripture.

You will be amazed when you journal. Doubt may hinder you at first, but throw it off, reminding yourself that it is a biblical concept, and that God is present, speaking to His children. Relax. When we cease our labors and enter His rest, God is free to flow (Heb. 4:10). Sit back comfortably, take out your pen and paper, smile, and turn your attention toward the Lord in praise and worship, seeking His face. After you write your question to Him, become still, fixing your gaze on Jesus. You will suddenly have a very

good thought. Don’t doubt it; simply write it down. Later, as you read your journaling, you, too, will be blessed to discover that you are indeed dialoguing

with God.Some final notes: Knowing

God through the Bible is a vital foundation to hearing His voice in your heart, so you must have a solid commitment to knowing and obeying the Scriptures. It is also very important for your growth and safety that you be related to solid, spiritual counselors. All major directional moves that come through journaling should be confirmed by your counselors before you act upon them.

in the classroom because they are teaching students to build social skills, and don’t want activities which isolate children. Instead of time-out there is a listening chair, so a teacher can discuss what happened with a child in a positive way. The teachers are open with parents and want them to ask questions so they will know their children are safe, happy and well-loved.

Tuition is $984 per year for three year olds, $1620 for four year olds. It can be paid monthly, or there is a pre-payment discount if paid in full by September 1.

Tips for Beating the Heat

ON

Heat can be dangerous to people of any age, indoors or out. To stay safe and healthy during hot weather, know the signs of heat stress and the simple things people can do—like drinking plenty of water—that can prevent heat-related illness and death.

Children, the elderly, people with chronic illnesses and people on certain medications like tranquilizers or diuretics are especially at risk from high summer temperatures. So are older people who live in homes or apartments without air conditioning or good air flow and people who don’t drink enough water. Hot weather also adds to ozone levels, making those with respiratory illness more vulnerable.

Being exposed to high temperatures for too long can cause muscle cramps, swelling in feet or ankles, or dizziness, progressing to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Heat exhaustion, if not treated, can progress to heat stroke. Heat stroke is an emergency and requires immediate medical help—it can be fatal.

To avoid heat-related illness on hot days:

• Drink plenty of water or fruit and vegetable juices. Avoid caffeine or alcohol.

• Limit your time outdoors, especially in the afternoon when the day is hottest.

• Be careful about exercising or doing a lot of activities when it is hot. Stay out of the sun, take frequent breaks, drink water or juice often, and watch for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

• Dress for the weather. Loose-fitting, light colored cotton clothes are cooler than dark colors or some synthetics.

• If you live in a home without fans or air conditioning, open windows to allow air flow, and keep shades, blinds or curtains drawn in the hottest part of the day or when the windows are in direct sunlight. Try to spend at least

part of the day in an air conditioned place like a shopping mall, a store, the library, a friend’s house, or the movies. Cool showers can help, too. Do not use a fan when the air temperature is above 95 degrees -– it will blow hot air, which can add to heat stress.

• Never leave a child or a disabled or elderly person or a pet in an unattended car, even with the windows down. A closed vehicle can heat up to dangerous levels in as little as ten minutes.

Congratulations go out to the Rev. Frederick W. Kopp on theoccasion of the 20th anniversary of his ordination on July 12.

Pr. Kopp is currently serving as Transition Pastor at Trinity Old Lutheran Church in Eggertsville, where the congregation celebrated this special anniversary with a

youth-led worship service and recognition luncheon on June 3.

Another way to say it is that marriage is easy to get into and hard to get out of.

This is not what is on most people’s minds when they are heading towards marriage, but it is clearly and incontrovertibly the truth. It takes but a few minutes to get a marriage license in New York State and after the passage of 24 hours, you can be married. Getting divorced, all too common both in and out of the church today, is not so easy.

Despite the ease of getting married in our culture, the Christian Church has always held marriage in high esteem. The beginning of the ceremony in the Episcopal Church points out the importance of marriage in that Jesus’ first miracle was at the wedding feast in Cana of Galilee, that marriage in part signifies the union of Christ and the church and that it is not to be entered into lightly or unadvisedly.

Five minutes at the village clerk’s office does not constitute a thoughtful and advised entering into marriage. Ideally people are prepared for marriage throughout their life. Preferably they had an intact family growing up with parents who worked to give them the necessities of life, food, shelter, clothing as well as well as emotional support, reasonable boundaries and structure. Above all, children need love. Involvement in a faith community is also important. Nurturing and growing in Christ gives a foundation for what it means to be a child of God. All this serves as solid ground on which the sure foundation of a marriage, the creation of a new relationship and family can be built.

The reality is that none of us has a perfect family. All who come to the altar for marriage come with strengths and weaknesses. Marriage is a journey, not an event. Marriage is a living breathing thing, not a statue. Marriages grow or they die.

My experience in almost three decades of being an Episcopal Priest is that the marriage … the wedding day … is pretty overwhelmingly happy, if a bit stressful. The REAL marriage, the years after the wedding day, are what takes work. Not too long ago it was a notable event if a couple

made it to their 50th wedding anniversary. Contemporary couples may be older when saying “I do” for the first time than in years past, but the “as long as you both shall live” has expanded by even more years. It is a mistake to think that there is some sort of magic in the planning of a party and ceremony that result in a happy ever after that requires no effort, no work, and no sacrifice.

Most churches and pastors endeavor to have marriage preparation before a wedding. In an ideal world couples would come to their pastor the moment they began to think about marriage, to talk things over, to explore. I suspect this rarely happens, at least it has never happened to very often to me! It is all too common an experience to get a phone call asking if the church and the pastor are available on such and such a date and time. The wedding, apparently, has to be then because that is the only time the reception venue and family is available. I remember being ordained only a short while when a couple left my office in a huff because I was not going to be in town on the date they wanted to get married. Everything was set and I was not complying with their wishes. “No wonder no one comes to church” I was told.

Meeting with a couple after the date has been set can have an odd feel to it and I wonder at times if I they hear very much of what I say. I am not in the businesses of trying to talk people out of being married. Far from it. But it is too important to take lightly. One colleague once said that before a wedding, “The couple is moving away from everyone and everything at the speed of light. The best that you can hope for in counseling before marriage is to send out the words and hope that sooner or later, when they slow down, some of the words catch up to them.”

I have come to believe it is vitally important to send those words out. Consultation before marriage, from Samaritan Counseling Center or somewhere else, is a way for couples to take a deep breath, take a look at what they are doing and to set priorities. Those who know that they will be facing circumstances that might affect

their marriage in the future or who have issues they suspect should be resolved before marriage are ahead of the game in working to make their marriages successful over the long haul.

The good news is that marriages work, are fulfilling and successful and can be full of grace and love. The often cited, and depressing, statistic that 50% of marriages end in divorce is a mathematical construct. It does NOT mean that half of all people who get married will end up divorced (it does not count those who get multiple divorces, for example). It is not a coin toss as to whether or not your marriage will last. There are factors that do matter. Being involved in a faith community, coming from an intact family (rather than divorced), marrying at an older age (over age 25 as opposed to under 18), having a baby after (rather than before) a marriage, being college graduates, and most important of all, having income of over $50,000 rather than under $25,000 all are indicators that a marriage will last. *

I tell couples that are planning their wedding that they are not a bunch of statistics, they are one couple. As one couple they can make a commitment to love one another, make a commitment to work on their relationship and make a commitment to seek help if times get tough. It is perhaps not the first thing a couple thinks of when planning a marriage, but you can have both a happy wedding day, and a successful marriage.

An Act of Grace

ChrISTIAN MEDIAby Colleen Sturgis

“Sturgis tells of struggling with alcohol and drug addiction, being very afraid and alone. She walked the road to demise without the ability to get off of it on her own. She hoped to see anyone who truly made it out and walked in total freedom, yet there was no one. Religion had turned her against God, and no one on earth

understood where she was or how to help her. For years she made wrong choices, including abortion. She finally screamed at a picture of God, on a night when suicide was going to be her relief. Everything in her life changed dramatically after discovering the great love this Savior had for her. How differently she came to deal with things, and even in the midst

of the very worst pain imaginable, with this new understanding the Savior carried her out of grief and despair and never let her feet touch the ground until she was completely able to walk without falling. She wrote this book after arguing with God as to why she should write it. She didn’t consider herself to be a writer, but in a conversation he had with her, He responded, “I put

this book in you.” She needed no other explanation. It is her desire to help others who have no hope to understand the hope that she has been given. It is real, it is tangible, and God desires it for all of us. It’s not just about her.”The book can be purchased at: http://www.publishamerica.net/product16053.html

July 2012 — CCC Bulletin — 23

BY JEFF KEEFE Ancient roads were sometimes

little more than a foot path with no improvements other than what this or that traveler might provide for his fellow travelers. Usually roads followed the path of least resistance for the traveler. Between Jericho and Jerusalem the route followed the Wadi Kelt. A wadi is a stream bed that is dry most of the year. If the road was used frequently for caravans with trade goods or the movement of military troops or communication between government centers the road would be improved upon. Improved roads might be just earth, leveled, straightened, or paved with large stones and maybe drained. Humans, donkeys and camels average about 3 miles an hour, horses walk a little quicker, 4 miles an hour.

Up to Jerusalem is what you have to do if walking from Jericho to Jerusalem. Jerusalem is about 2500’ above sea level and Jericho is over 800’ below sea level making it the lowest city in the world. It is also perhaps the oldest city in the world with indications of civilization going back to 9000 B.C. The distance between the two cities is about 17 miles. Jericho is in the Judean wilderness and averages only 5” of rainfall per year. However, Jericho is a farmer’s paradise with an abundance of fresh water from 6 or more

springs. Jerusalem is in the Judean Hills or central ridge of mountains running north and south. Jerusalem gets about four times the rain. In winter Jerusalem’s average daily high temperature is 55 and in Jericho it is 68. While in summer Jerusalem’s 86 and Jericho is 102. The transition from the Judean Hills to Judean wilderness occurs at Bethany, about two miles east of Jerusalem.

The road plummets down the eastern slopes and ridges leading into Jericho below at an incredible rate. While not a major trade route, from Jerusalem, iIt was the most direct route to the Jordan River and to the lands of the Ammonites and Moabites. It was a dangerous route, one not traveled heavily through the history of Jerusalem until the Romans built it up. It is possible this is the route King David used when fleeing from Absalom. Could this is possibly be David’s “the valley of the shadow of death.” About 400 years after David, King Zedekiah probably took this route when fleeing the Babylonians.

Herod the Great probably traveled this route when traveling between palaces in Jerusalem and Jericho. The Romans improved the road and later had troops stationed along the way because of the number of bandits along the route. It had been a favorite of

bandits and thieves throughout antiquity. In Luke 10 Jesus places the story of the Good Samaritan who helped a robbery victim along this road. Archaeologists have yet to find the ruins of an inn along the route, but the Inn used by the Good Samaritan in Jesus story’ could have been at either Bethany or Jericho.

If you were in Jerusalem and you wanted to go see John the Baptist, you’d take the road down to Jericho. You are not going to go see John the Baptist on a whim of, “what should I do today.” After Bethany, about two miles from Jerusalem, there is no certainty of food or water until you’ve gone about fifteen more miles or five hours. Along the route is the traditional pilgrimage site of the Mount of Temptation, site of Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness after his baptism. When nature called, there were few trees to hide behind, but plenty of twists, turns, and rocks. When you reached Jericho, “the City of Palms,” you still have another 7-8 miles to the Jordan River depending on where John the Baptist was at the time. Round trip would require at least two days. Jericho was the best place in the area to get water and to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Did the travelers overnight here and see John in the morning?

In the final weeks of Jesus’ ministry the synoptic Gospels tell us that Jesus and his disciples left Galilee and headed to Jerusalem. It was at Jericho, on his way up to Jerusalem, that Jesus met Zacchaeus, a rich Publican. In Luke 19:5 Jesus said to Zacchaeus, “I must stay at your house today.” Did Jesus stay in a nice bed overnight at the home of Zacchaeus? He would have had to leave Jericho by about noon to make it to Bethany in daylight. There was still a six hour walk up the road to Jerusalem. On his way out of Jericho, he healed blind Bartimaeus. The Mount of Olives and the Jerusalem suburbs of Bethany and Bethpage marked the end of the climb up the road. Jesus did ride the last two miles of the Jericho road; it was his coronation parade on donkey into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.
