“Cookin’ Up a Kitchen” By now, you should know that we have, indeed, decided to move forward in renovating our base-ment kitchen. I shared several reasons why this needs to be done in the February newsletter. We are now at the point in which we are deciding what, exactly, we want and need to do. We’ve have three presentation sessions in April to outline three possible approaches to the renovation, in-cluding their projected prices. ALL options address the current problems of plumbing, electrical, and meeting food service codes. 1. The minimal approach—the minimal approach keeps our current kitchen footprint with the

possibility of extending into LL01 for storage. It does NOT include any cooking appliances, as they would need to be properly vented with a hood and fire suppression system. Therefore, absolutely no cooking would be done in the kitchen. All food would need to be prepared off campus and brought it. There would be updated refrigeration and freezers, a 3-section sink for washing/sanitizing dishes, and a serving system. We would continue to use paper/plastic for serving, adding up to approximately $3000/year, not to mention the damage done ecolog-ically. This option would cost around $235,000.

2. The middle-of-the-road—This option adds some cooking options, including a 6-burner oven, one stove, convection ovens, and warmers (and proper hood ventilation above). It would mean utilizing the space currently occupied as LL01 classroom. In order to keep the price mid-dle-of-the-road, we would need to choose between getting a dish washer or the serving sys-tem mention in option 1. Each costs approximately $25,000. We do have the option of adding both items into the plan should the congregation decide to do so. We would be able to meet demands for up to 100. This option would cost around $300,000.

3. Bring it on!—This option gives us full range of cooking abilities, including a 10-burner oven, 2 stoves, a tilt-braiser, dish washer, and serving system. We would be able to meet demands for up to 200 people or more. This option would cost around $370,000.

You can download more details form the presentation on the main page of our website at osllin-coln.org. We do hope to be able to vote on these options at our May 20 congregational meeting. A couple of things you need to know as you discern your thoughts on the matter. First, we are applying for a grant from the Lincoln Health Endowment to cover up to half of the cost of the ren-ovation. However, it only comes into play with the third option, and we will need to partner with one or more other community groups to extend our service beyond OSLC in order to qualify for the grant. Second, we have not forgotten about the Fellowship Hall. We still hope to expand that space into the existing rooms and classroom along the south wall. We also need to address the inefficiencies of our HVAC system both upstairs and downstairs in the older sections of the building. These is-sues are costly, but so is trying to maintain how we operate right now. Please pray about the fu-ture and ministry of OSLC. Listen and learn about the possibilities. And join us for discussion, questions, and decisions at the Vision Rally on May 13, 9:30a.m. and the Congregational Meeting on May 20, 9:30a.m. In Christ,

Pastor Tobi White

The Quest Inside for Uniting Spirit (Q.I. for U.S.)

Daily Spiritual Practice: Pray “[T]he Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with

sighs too deep for words.” Romans 8:26

A topic that comes up a lot, especially with people expressing interest in exploring a more intentional spiritual life, is the topic of how to pray. In previous articles I have introduced you to breath prayers, prayer in movement, Welcoming prayer, Lectio Divina, praying the Psalms, the Jesus prayer, and centering prayer - all specific types of how to pray. But I want to study this topic in a more substantive manner. In order to do that, I will spend the next several months talking about prayer.

If you have recommendations or requests for specific types of prayer, please let me know. I am always open to your feedback; and, it is nice to know that these words are not just drifting into the abyss.

First and foremost, there really is not a wrong way to pray. (And I just said I am going to spend the next several months talking about prayer? Talk about spoilers!) While that is the bottom line, the ultimate truth, there are many different ways to go about prayer. As the verse from Romans above implies, it is okay if you “do not know how to pray as [you] ought”. The heavy lifting is really done by the Spirit, (and by God, and by Jesus).

To start off this discourse, try allowing the Spirit to intercede, to intervene on your behalf. In short, let the Spirit do all the talking. You just have to show up. In practical terms, you can recite the alphabet and ask the Spirit to put together the words you need to pray. You can feel them or think them, imagine them or sigh them. Heck, you can even sing the alphabet song! Start by mentally thinking that your intention is for the Spirit to say your prayer for you. Then, offer up a feeling, thought, image, sigh, or song and trust that the Spirit will intercede on your behalf. Easy peasy. You just prayed.

This month I pray for the Spirit to intercede with sighs deeper than any words.

Watoto Children’s Choir coming to OSLC in May! Watoto Children’s Choirs have travelled extensively since 1994, shar-ing a message of hope for Africa’s orphans and widows. To date, the choir has toured six continents and performed to enthralled audienc-es in schools, retirement homes, churches, parliaments, state houses and royal palaces. The Watoto Children’s Choir concert acts as a fundraising event for Watoto.

Each child in the Watoto Children’s Choir has suffered the loss of one or both parents and now lives in a Watoto village. The experience of travelling on a choir helps the children to develop confidence and boldness, as well as broadening their worldview.

Accompanied by a team of adults, the choir presents Watoto’s vision and mission by sharing personal stories, music and dance. While on the road, the children act as advocates for the millions of other Afri-can children who have experienced the same heartbreaking pain and suffering as them.

Join the choir in worship May 13 for Mother’s Day at both Sunday services. If you can house one or more children, please contact Julie Cross at wma.oslc@gmail.com. We’ll also be looking to provide cer-tain meals for them while they are with us. More details to come.

A Note from Outreach Ministry: How does our garden grow? With lots of help!

The garden surrounding the east parking lot began as a FEAST project. Men built the boxes, others planted, wa-tered and weeded. We learned a lot the first year, most importantly, the short time our partners have on Sunday morning is not enough to keep the garden looking good. We are thankful for neighbors, friends and members who have stopped to water, pull a few weeds or just enjoy the space. We invite you to stop by, water if you can, or just linger in the shaded areas. You might be surprised at who you meet. FEAST partners will begin planting on May 20th, and all are welcome to join us. This is becoming what we hoped for, a place for neighbors and friends to gather.

In our church family prayers, we remember:

Because we, the Body of Christ, carry each other through trials and struggles...
