TRANSCRIPT
WORSHIP: IT’S WHAT WE DO
“When Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to
the synagogue on the Sabbath day, as was his custom.” – Luke 4:16
It is what he did – his custom. Jesus, our Lord, on Sabbath day found himself
in the place of prayer with all of the other faithful. It was the place of hearing
God’s word read aloud to the people and of turning hearts to God in prayer.
But in those days when our Lord was born among us, going to the synagogue
was the custom of God’s people. It was and is a custom rooted in creation and
commandments – a day of the week where we turn aside and recognize the
Holy One who creates and comes after us with a passionate love.
In his book Loving Jesus, Mark Allen Powell tells the story of a young man
who declared openly his love for the Lord. He spoke of God’s greatness and of
how he would do anything for our God. But he did not come for worship,
because frankly, “it’s boring,” he said. Why take time from doing other things
that might be more productive, worthwhile, etc.?
So Powell asked him, “Do you love Jesus?”
“Yes, I do. I love him with all my heart.”
“Would you die for him?”
“Yes, I would.”
“You would die for him, but you would not be bored for him?”
Worship is the core of what we do. From worship, everything else in the
Lord’s Church grows: the serving, learning, VBS-ing, PoPTART-ing – you
name it! Without worship, we would only be another fine service and social
club, doing good things and having a good time, perhaps for a noble cause
that makes us feel good about ourselves.
Oh, and that leads to one more thing: worship isn’t about us. It is always and
forever about our Lord – the Holy One who made heaven and earth, Who
gave his life for us that we may have life, Who strengthens us day by day in a
faith that comes only as a gift.

Celebrating 10 Years!
POP’S DVD MINISTRY
It’s been 10 years – yes 10
years – since our video team has
been recording our early worship
service! After duplicating the
DVDs, a copy is taken to Heron
House, Royal Palm, Midway
Manor, and the Barrington. The
video is usually played on
Tuesdays at 7pm on closed circuit
TV.
PoP’s video team includes Steve
Leonard, Mark Roberts, Lee
Dreger and Erik Mathre. Each
Monday morning, Leona
Lazarchick packages a DVD along
with a Sunday bulletin, a
Celebrate with readings from
Sunday worship, and a song sheet
of the hymns for the day. Then she
mails this package weekly to the
unseen congregation – our
homebound. These same brothers
and sisters in Christ receive
communion either from clergy or
more frequently from Eucharistic
Ministers.
Since its inception, our DVD
ministry has been self-sustaining
without any budgeted funds. It
initially began through the Service
Commission with a gift from a
member who had a passion for the
homebound to be included in
worship in a very tangible
manner. Gifts marked for this
ministry are used to purchase any
necessary supplies. Those
receiving anxiously await the
arrival of the DVD via mail and
are able to worship along with us
throughout the week.
This ministry continues to be a
blessing to many - thanks be to
God for His work!
Endowment Board Update
Thanks to all who contributed to the ministry of the Board thus far this year:
Endowment donors, congregation members submitting award requests,
Board members, and above all, our Lord and Savior who provides all of our
treasures.
The purpose of the Fund is to enhance the mission, outreach, and ministry of
the Congregation apart from its general operation. The fund was established
in order to receive gifts which will advance or support the ministry of the
gospel, locally or worldwide. We award 85% of our earnings each year and
retain 15% in order to grow the corpus.
We also encourage contributions to our Endowment Fund in order to support
the overall mission of the congregation as “proclaiming and sharing the good
news of God’s love and salvation in Jesus Christ.” The Fund was established
with that mission in mind. We give in this way, so that our Lord would be
glorified.
Our activities have included a Temple Talk on Sunday May 19, and a portico
display between services on May 19th & 26th. The April Board meeting
included a review of the investment portfolio, total amount available for
distribution, discussion on each request, and determination of award
amounts (see this year’s grants in column to the left). – Royce Haddad, Chairman.

PoP Announcements + News You Can Use
FIRST FRUITS FOR JUNE
A tithe from all bequests goes to First Fruits
Each month, the Service Commission selects organizations for Congregation
Council to assist through First Fruits. In the month of June, Council
approved gifts to:
Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches $250
Through a broad range of family-centered services, the Florida Sheriffs Youth
Ranch aims to prevent juvenile delinquency and develop lawful, productive
citizens. The Youth Ranches provide youth and family counseling, residential
care, camping, foster care, and independent living to many of Florida’s
abused, neglected, and troubled children. Our First Fruits will give a full
camp scholarship to one youth.
Gleaning for the World, WINGS Program $300
What is managed routinely in countries like the U.S. can be devastating to
young women in other parts of the world. In many developing countries,
many women and girls suffer embarrassment, harassment and life-
threatening infections surrounding the ability to manage their menstrual
cycles. WINGS provides hygiene kits which can last a woman up to three
years. With a $300 donation, we can donate 20 kits to help change the lives
of young girls and women.
WELCA SUMMERTIME PLANS
No Catchy Slogans!
Don’t be “caught unawares” by the schedule changes for
the summer WELCA circle meetings! Bible studies,
sisterhood, and treats for our tummies are planned for
both July and August. We want to catch you joining us if
this is a first time or the hundredth time for you!
Emma Crossen, WELCA’s former stewardship director, has written a series
called “No Catchy Slogans.” Here’s where you can find series studies:
Monday, July 13th | 7pm
Miriam Circle hosts “Be Like the Widow”
Monday, August 3rd | 10:30am
Naomi Circle hosts “God Loves a Cheerful Giver”
If you don’t have access to the July/August issue of Gather, copies of the
materials will be available in the Church Office. Bring your Bible and yourself
– and be ready to share in meaningful study, lively discussion, and
scrumptious snacks. Contact Linda Greilick at 727.595.9623 for questions.
FROM THE GREEN TEAM
Give Your Home
a Rest on
Vacation!
Vacationing is
generally a high-impact activity,
especially when it involves air
travel. Make sure your home isn’t
using up resources while you are
hundreds or thousands of miles
away.
Before you leave, turn off as many
appliances as possible. Clean out
the refrigerator and turn the
temperature down; turn off ice-
makers and water heaters. Turn
air-conditioning or heating
systems off or to an appropirate
temperature. If you are able, turn
off the water – a leak or burst pipe
is a terrible thing to come home to
– and a terrible waste of water!
Unplug all AC adapters and
electronics, especially those that
continue to draw power through
digital clocks and “standby”
modes.
CIRCLE UPDATES!
Miriam Circle
July 13th: 7pm @ Parish Hall
August 10th: No Meeting!
Martha Circle
There will be no summer
meetings. Our next meeting will
be September 10th @ 10am.
Naomi Circle
Our next meeting dates are August
3rd & October 5th at 10:30am. We
will not meet in July or
September.

Your Celebrate/Build! News Share
JULY CELEBRATE/BUILD NEWS UPDATE
In the 1960’s, the Motown group The Four Tops had a hit single “It’s the
Same Old Song.” It is a sentiment that our Building Team has been feeling
over the past few weeks, as our architect works to negotiate with City officials
and to comply with City of Largo codes regarding landscaping and changes to
our parking lot. Before we can give final plans to construction manager Reno
Construction in order to receive a guaranteed maximum price, the City must
approve the new plans. We are hoping for their approval very soon.
Thank you for your questions and interest! Folk have been asking when we
are going to start, because they thought we were already to have started. Yes,
indeed, a June start time was what we all had anticipated. As with all matters
of mission in Christ our Lord, we pray, use the gifts the Lord has given us,
and move ahead as best we are able.
CAPITAL APPEAL UPDATE
Thanks be to God for the Building and Finance Teams and their leadership
and hard work. As we have seen in each week’s bulletin, we are continuing to
receive gifts to God for this effort week by week. The original goal was
$911,421. Let’s reach past that goal! Thank you, and thanks be to God. What
blessings! (continued in margin…)

Adult Education
SUNDAYS
Opening the Book of Faith: The Letter to the Hebrews
Sundays, July 12 – August 16
The Letter to the Hebrews is one of the more complex New Testament
writings, written in elegant Greek by an unknown author around 70 C.E.
Speaking to people of a particular time and place – a Jewish Christian
audience raised in a Hellenistic culture – the book draws on Hebrew
Scriptures and ritual traditions, as well as Greek philosophy. The study takes
on five big questions posed by the text that are as relevant today as they were
in the First Century.
Sessions Include
1. Who is Jesus, Part 1 4. What is Faith
2. Who is Jesus, Part 2 5. How Shall We Live?
3. What Did Jesus Do? 6. What if Faith Fails?
Summer Sundays

Stewardship
Summer is a time when we often take off in lots of directions looking for a
change of scenery, a change of pace, and hey – some cool air! Here are two
reminders for your trip.
First, worship wherever you go. Then come back and share what you
experienced. Second, remember that Duke Energy and all of the other people
who send us monthly mail need to be compensated.
Let us remember our giving to God here at PoP in the summer months, too,
that ministries may continue to thrive. Remember, at our website
poplargo.org, giving can be very easy.

Children’s Health and Safety Fair, there is still so much more
to do! Can you help too?
Volunteers of every age are needed in all areas about the campus (look for
the sign-up sheet under the Portico). Donate gently used books. Pray that
those who most need this day, and all that it has to offer, will find their way to
our faith home!

LUTHERAN WORLD RELIEF
COFFEE & CHOCOLATE SALES
Sunday,
July 12th
Mind, Body & Soul coffee will be
back in stock for those who have
been patiently waiting. As we have
a number of new PoP members,
we want to remind everyone that
Prince of Peace does not retain
proceeds from these sales, which
are a project of the PoP Service
Commission. Fair Trade sales are
a way of promoting Social Justice.
Equal Exchange and LWR work
together to ensure that small
farmers throughout the world are
paid fair prices for their crops.
In addition, a percentage of sales
is returned to LWR, which is used
to make improvements in the
growers’ villages – such as
schools, wells, and medical
facilities. Sales at Prince of Peace
are generally the equivalent of one
coffee farmer’s annual income.
Won’t you try some of our coffee,
tea, chocolate, honey, or olive oil?

CALL COMMITTEE MAKES PROGRESS
The Call Committee for the Faith Formation Leader position has completed
the first big step in the process for recruiting a new Faith Formation Leader.
At the request of Council, we are seaking a rostered leader, either an
Associate in Ministry, deaconess, or ordained minister with a passion for
leading Youth and Family ministries at Prince of Peace.
The first step to recruit an ELCA rostered leader is the completion of a 12-
page “Ministry Site Profile” (MSP) describing our congregation and the gifts
for ministry we are seeking in the person called to this position. The draft of
the MSP document has been approved by the Congregation Council, and will
next be submitted to the Bishop’s office for review. Once approved, it will be
used by the ELCA and Synod leadership to identify candidates whose gifts
and interests may lead them to Prince of Peace. The completed MSP
document will be made available for download by church members after it is
approved by the Synod.
The process of calling a rostered leader is a special time for reflection and
prayer in the life of the congregation. We ask for your prayers as we embark
on this journey to call a new leader. Serving on the Call Committee are: Terri
Carmody, Randy Holm, Caroline Iusi, Jill Lonas, Bill Silberman, and Margo
Walbolt. Pastor Joe also meets with them. If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to ask anyone on the committee.
