SUNDAYS AFTER PENTECOST
Dear Members and Friends of First English,
In our Church’s Calendar we are now in that time of the many “Sundays after
Pentecost.” Now this year, with Easter being later, there will not be as many “Sundays
after Pentecost.” We only have 23 Sundays before we come to “Christ the King” Sunday,
the last Sunday of the Church Year prior to the “Season of Advent,” the beginning of a
new year.
Now I have been around the block a few times and I realize that talking about the
“Church’s Calendar” probably is not the most exciting of topics, but believe it or not there
is meaning and logic in our “Church’s Calendar.”
The “Church’s Calendar” is divided between the “Festival Half’ and the “Non
Festival Half.” Now again, I will admit, maybe not the most catchy of titles, but the early
church was more interested in substance and teaching rather than glamour! The “Festival
Half” is so named because it contains the “Major Festivals of the Church;” namely,
Christmas, Easter and Pentecost. This “Festival Half” of the Church year highlights and
emphasizes and celebrates what God has done for us – the birth of our Savior, Jesus
Christ our Lord, his innocent suffering, death, resurrection and ascension, and the special
outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon His church at Pentecost.
The “Non Festival Half” of the Church Year, which contains all of those “Sundays
after Pentecost,” while always properly focused upon God’s great love for us; shifts the
emphasis to you and to me, to our response to the Gospel! Indeed, if we stop and think
about it, does not God’s great gift of a Savior and the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit
demand a response on our part! To focus our thinking, just ask yourself “for whom
would you be willing to die?”
Indeed the lessons assigned for the Sundays during the “Non Festival Half” of the
Church Year center on what it means to be a child of God, a disciple of Jesus Christ, a
faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ.
I do not remember who to credit, but one short line from a commentary on Jesus’
Parable of the “Workers in the Vineyard,” sticks in my mind and I believe summarizes the
reality of the church today, and that line is, “The greatest problem with the workers in
the vineyard (i.e. members of Christ’s Church) is absenteeism!”
Now yes, we all know and realize how hectic life is today. We all seem to have so
many demands on our time and our energy. But I ask you why is it that we neglect the
most important part of our life, our relationship with Christ and His Church???
I do not claim to have all of the answers, in fact, I am not even sure of all of the
questions of life today; but maybe, just maybe the reason for our lack of commitment to
Christ and His Church is because we can! My point is that our gracious God is so good to
us and continues to uphold us even when we take Him and His love for granted, that we do
just that – we take Him for granted! What do you think?
We use the term “faith practices,” and we grow in that which we practice, right?
Please join with us for these “Sundays after Pentecost” as we offer up our thanks and
praise to God, as we hear His Word and receive His Blessed Sacrament, and together grow
in our faith relationship and what it means to be a true Child of God!
See you at worship! God’s Blessings,
Pastor Schmidt

Sixth Sunday of Easter Sermon from May 22 & 25, 2014
Grace and peace to you my sisters and brothers from God our Father and from our Lord and
Savior Jesus the Christ.
Sunday is the day that we Christians celebrate again and again the great mystery of the
resurrection. Here at First English during the summer months we also celebrate on Thursday
evenings!
Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, continues to shine upon us with the warmth and
graciousness of God’s love – Sundays and all through the week.
Believe it or not we are still celebrating Easter. In the church’s liturgical year this is the sixth
Sunday of Easter. And, believe it or not, we still have yet another Sunday – the seventh
Sunday of Easter to celebrate before we arrive at Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit.
Why such a long drawn out time to celebrate Easter?
The jellybeans and marshmallow peeps are long gone!
These seven weeks in the church year of course coincide with the time Jesus remained on
earth after his resurrection.
A time when he appeared to his disciples:
Assuring them,
Teaching them, about all that had happened,
And making some promises to them for the times ahead.
Our seven weeks of Easter are likewise a time for us:
To be assured
To be taught about all that has taken place
And to be reminded and receive once again the promises of Jesus for the times ahead.
Today’s gospel reading is a continuation of last Sunday’s text. The location and day have not
changed. It’s Thursday evening before the crucifixion. Jesus is gathered with his disciples in
the upper room. They have shared a meal together and Jesus has shown them an act of selfless
love and service – he washed their feet. There is an uneasiness in the air.
Even though Jesus has assured them with the promise:
That he goes before them to prepare a place for them,
That they are not to let their hearts be troubled because he will return and take them to the
place where he is….
Despite these assurances and all the marvelous things they have seen him do and lessons
they have been taught, the disciples are distressed! Jesus is going away!
This is what the threat of loss does – it shakes up our sense of safety and security. The
disciples have troubled hearts, and so do we at times.

We’ve all known loss, each and every one of us, personally and deeply.
Loss of loved ones,
Loss of close and significant relationships through divorce or job relocation,
Loss of employment through downsizing or retirement,
Loss of good health or abilities through illness, accident or aging….
And the upcoming loss of a long time Pastor to retirement
Just to name a few.
All of these losses, even ones that were necessary or ones that resulted from a positive change in circumstances, all are difficult
to work through and are worthy of acknowledgement.
Jesus has gathered his disciples together to acknowledge the loss they are anticipating.
He knows that the fear of loss is not easy to defeat. It shakes up our sense of safety and security.
Can you hear the disciple’s sad refrains? How can we continue on with our ministry?
Who will lead the way? We love Jesus and have grown in relationship and knowledge – we are just getting started! This is all
so disheartening.
Jesus has a promise a remedy that will calm their troubled hearts, and stir them up at the same time to carry on in Jesus’ name.
Jesus has a plan that will not leave them orphaned, abandoned or alone. Jesus will send an Advocate, a “parakletos” to come
along beside them.
John is the only gospel writer to use this term “parakletos” to refer to the Holy Spirit.
We often don’t have a good way to describe the work of the Holy Spirit – other than some sort of ethereal being that we can’t
see but can sense the presence of.
Jesus is promising to send the disciples an advocate, a parakletos to come along beside them. So what is it that the disciples
need to hear from Jesus about the function and purpose of this Holy Spirit in this moment in time – a time when they are
fearful and distressed?
They might be asking and wondering:
What difference could this new advocate possibly make in our lives?
Why does our beloved leader have to leave now?
Why can’t there be some other alternate plan – we don’t like this one!
Here in the fourteenth chapter of John the Greek word provides some further definition you might find helpful.
The “parakletos”:
Is the one summoned or called to one’s side
Is the one destined to take the place of Christ with the apostles after Christ’s ascension to the Father.
Is the one who will lead them to a deeper knowledge of the gospel of truth
Is the one who will give them divine strength needed to enable them to undergo trials and persecutions on behalf of the
divine kingdom.
In short this advocate brings help, consolation, comfort, and encouragement & can also function in the legal sense, meaning
literally one who advocates for you in a court of law.
If you went to seminary, these are all definitions of the Holy Spirit we find in reference books such as:
“Strong’s Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible – the Red-Letter edition no less.
This is a very present help in seminary classes especially where Greek and Hebrew are involved. But I believe there is more
here than has been spelled out in the “Strong’s Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible.

Update to the Senior Pastor Call Process
This is a quick recap of what has happened in the Senior Pastor call process thus far and what is
happening to move forward. On May 18 the church council decided to move forward with the call
process rather than have an interim pastor for a period of time after Pastor Schmidt’s retirement.
On June 1 the Church Council had a meeting and approved the following members for the call
committee;
John Nyquist – Chairman
Mark Balle, Jr.
John Blohm
Trevor Clor
Jeff Gates
Members of council were also given the task of working on the Ministry Site Profile (MSP) which
is the congregation’s resume and defines “who we are” to help in the selection of our new Senior
Pastor. Council members were encouraged to take the questions of the MSP to their board
members and other members of the congregation for reflection and input. The council met on June
22 to review and compile the MSP document. The call committee is meeting with Pastor Oberle
and Pastor Holland from the Bishop’s office on June 25 to learn details of how the call process will
work. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

President, FEELC Council
SUMMER SCHEDULE Just a reminder that we are now in our Summer Schedule of
Worship Services. Contemporary Worship is at 9:00 a.m. and
Traditional Worship is at 10:30 a.m. Sunday School does not meet during
the summer months.
If you are out of town on the weekend, please join us on Thursday

Congregational meeting scheduled for Sunday, August 17, 2014
When Pastor Chris came to First English her call was to be co-terminus with
Pastor Schmidt’s retirement. As the council discussed the transition from Pastor
Schmidt to a new Senior Pastor we felt that an extension of Pastor Chris’s call would
be beneficial and necessary. The purpose of the meeting is for the
congregation to vote on an extension of the call of Pastor Chris Veres. The church
council has scheduled a Congregational meeting on Sunday, August 17, 2014
directly after the 10:30 am service.

ALTAR CLOTH
Have you noticed the new Altar Cloth
for our Contemporary Worship? Thinking
that it would be very meaningful to have an
Altar Cloth from the Holy city of Jerusalem,
we purchased this Altar Cloth on our recent
tour to Israel and Jordan.
Congratulations to our High School Graduates! On Sunday, June 15, 2014 we publically recognized our
graduating seniors and celebrated a “Stepping Into the World and Blanket Presentation.” Our prayers go with our
graduates as they move onto the next chapter in their lives and pray for them God’s richest blessings. You can see
their pictures and their futures plans on the bulletin board as you enter the sanctuary. Our graduates are: from
Grosse Pointe South—Allison Cornell; from Grosse Pointe North—Katelyn Kohler, Tyler Nelson, Amy Olson,
Julia Rustmann, Sarah Rustmann, Bobby Simone, Grant Strobl and Madison Vens; and from Hillsdale
College—Matthew Reck
Jim Haley passed away June 10, 2014. A Memorial Service will be (was) held for Jim on Saturday, June 28, 2014,
11:00 a.m. at First English. Thanks be to God who gives to us the victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ.

9:30 a.m. THURSDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY
– THE EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS
Our Thursday Morning Bible Study Group has decided to study the
Book of Galatians this coming fall. We will have approximately six
weeks this coming fall following Labor Day before Pastor Schmidt
retires, so this time frame gives to us a great opportunity to study this
relatively short but powerful Epistle of St. Paul.
Martin Luther considered Galatians one of the purest presentations of
the Gospel, and as one author put it, “The importance of the brief let-
ter (Galatians) is hard to overestimate. The declaration of the princi-
ples reiterated in these six chapters made Christianity a true world
religion.”
Our sessions will begin after Labor Day, meeting Thursday
mornings, 9:30 -11:00 a.m.. Please make your plans now to join
with us as together we explore this powerful book.
We still have a few copies of the book Killing Jesus remaining, which
would make great summer reading, and are available from Pastor
Schmidt, Pastor Chris and Sue, in the office, at the discounted price of
$15.00.
Grace Circle - Fourth Monday at 7:00 p.
Peace Circle - First Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.
Faith Circle - First Tuesday at 10:30 a.m.
Hope Circle - Second Wednesday at 11:30 a.m.
Check the calendar at www.feelc.org
WOMEN’S CIRCLE BIBLE STUDY
Our Women’s Circle Bible studies for this fall will
be: “Transforming Life and Faith.” This study
will look at the transforming power of Jesus, the
transformations of Paul and Moses and Lydia,
Philip and the Ethiopian, plus more. The Septem-
ber study begins with St. Paul and a look
at his transformation and faith - from one who per-
secuted the church to become her greatest missionary.
All women of First English are encouraged to
attend a Circle; please check the calendar for the various
Circles meeting schedule.
9:30a.m. ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL
Our Adult Sunday School
offerings do not meet during the
summer months, but we take this
opportunity to thank all of our
members who participated in these
opportunities to learn and grow in
our faith. We also extend a sincere
thanks to our members who led
these classes when one of the
pastors was out of town. Thank You!
As we look to the fall, what would
you like to study??? Please share
your thoughts with Pastor Chris or
Pastor Schmidt

GIFT WISH LIST TUCKPOINTING AND PILLAR REPAIRS
ORGAN FUND
COLUMBARIUM FOR FIRST ENGLISH COLUMBARIUM PROJECT GIVEN FINAL APPROVAL
At the special congregational meeting Sunday, June 1, 2014 First English Congregation
voted to move forward with our Columbarium Project. Eickhof Columbaria, the company who
will be installing our Columbaria, has been contacted and now that they have formal approval to
move forward, will be getting back to us with specifics concerning construction.
We will continue with the same policy as approved earlier concerning sale of the niches, i.e.
before construction begins, the companion niches, which hold two urns, will be sold for $1,500.00;
after construction begins they will sell for $1,800.00. We will give the congregation sixty days
notice before raising the price to $1,800.00. Niches will be assigned on a “first come-first-served”
basis, with members being able to choose the location of their niche within the Columbarium. To
date twelve double niches have been sold, If you are interested in purchasing a companion niche,
please speak to Pastor Schmidt.
.
Our organ at First English is over fifty years old, and over the past 10 years has had switching
components beginning to fail. Because the original components of the organ console haven’t
been manufactured since the early 1970’s, the console and its related switching need to be rebuilt
to have the organ fully functional again. The three bids that we are looking at estimate repairs to
be approximately $300,000. Total funding at this point is at $66,363 in the Organ Fund,
including the gracious gift from the estate of Gladys Greenburg. If you wish to help with these
repairs, please mark your envelope "Organ Fund" and place in the offering plate or leave in the
office. Thank you! -The Board of Worship and Music.
This past year the first unit of our facility required tuck-pointing of the outer walls to
prevent costly water damage. In addition the pillars by the southeast entrance to the
Narthex required repair. Our Board of Church Properties received bids for the above
repairs and the Church Council approved these projects. The total cost was $19,600.00, and
these repairs have now all been completed. If you would like to assist with the cost of this
project simply mail your check to the church or place in the offering plate. Please designate
your gift for “Church Maintenance.” Thank You!

Consider this:
Most of the words WE use to describe ourselves name relationships:
We are son/daughter, mother/father, husband/wife, sister/brother, pastor/teacher, friend/lover.
There are times when we conceive of ourselves as “pulling ourselves up by our own bootstraps.” This is the “American
Way”, isn’t it?
But I think you will agree that this self-reliant caricature cannot stand up to scrutiny.
When the sense of “I” is pursued, we always find it grounded in an interdependent “we.” We need each other. We have
been created to be in relationship with one another.
The Holy Trinity is the perfect example/model of this.
Christian theologians have characterized the inner life of the Trinity as “perichoresis.” What this odd sounding Greek
term really describes is the relationship between each person of the Trinity—Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Their existence together is considered as a co-indwelling that allows for the individuality of the persons to be maintained,
while insisting that each person shares in the life of the other two.
Now stick with me, because I think this is the heart of what Jesus is promising for his disciples as he is about to leave
them.
Another way of describing this “perichoresis” this relationship of the Trinity, is a dance, a life-giving movement that goes
round and round without beginning or end. This is the love and life of the Father, of the Son and of the Spirit.
THIS is the love and life that Jesus reveals and imparts to his disciples.
When Jesus promised to send another advocate to be with them, he is promising so much more than someone to fill in the
empty space left when he returns to the Father. He is promising so much more than an advocate to be with us only when
times are tough, when we feel lost and alone.
As children of God, disciples of Jesus the Christ, WE are being invited to join, Father, Son and Holy Spirit in this ongoing
dance of life and love. We have not been left alone as orphans, we are God’s own.
So what does this all mean? What can each of us walk away with today?
Quite simply- we are not alone- and we can face the challenges and opportunities of life with confidence whether it
involves – changes involving loved ones, changes that involve close and significant relationships such as divorce or job
relocation, changes of employment through downsizing or retirement, changes in health or abilities through illness,
accident or aging…. or even retirements or changes in our pastoral staff.
Whatever life sends our way, we can face the future with confidence. The promises of Jesus are truth. We have not been
left alone. God is with us forever and ever! For we are God’s and he is ours – forever and ever!
Now may the peace of Christ which surpasses all of our understanding, be and remain with you this day and always.
Amen.
