Page 1: The Messenger ~ July & August 2017

It all began in 2015, when Annie and I came to Camp Pendleton to attend,

and to witness, the wedding of our younger daughter, Elizabeth and her

husband now of two plus years, Erik. The ceremony was magnificent and the

fellowship together with family for this joyous event, a treasured memory.

Topping off that weekend of God’s amazing grace and eternal love was a

visit to Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, or as we now call it, the Loving

Lutheran Church on the Hill. You see, Pastor Jeff was our Pastor at

Silverdale Lutheran Church in Washington State when we lived there in the

late 1990’s. Elizabeth had enjoyed

the youth group at SLC while "PJ"

as we called him was the Pastor for

the youth program.

The wedding, and visiting with Pastor Jeff, and worshipping at OSLC,

was such a blessing to Annie and me. The following year Annie and I came to

San Clemente to visit Libby and Eric and on that Sunday: I preached a sermon

at OSLC...bet you don’t remember, that’s ok. The point is that. On that

Sunday, Pastor Jeff asked me if I would consider being your sabbatical supply

pastor in 2017; I said I would probably not be able to do that since I am a 12

month employee at Newberry College where I am the Campus Pastor and

Director of Church Relations. Annie and I prayed about the possibility of

serving with all of you, we spoke with my College President, who spoke with

our Board of Trustees about my request, and they said, "yes, you may take a

leave of absence for the summer of 2017, but, you must return." And so,

here we are…

Annie and I arrived 9 May and I attended an OSLC Church Council

meeting with Pastor Jeff. The next

morning with Pastor Jeff to introduce me;

we attended chapel with the teachers and

the children of OSLS, and I was hooked.

For Annie and me, meeting all of you and

participating in worship, fellowship,

school and church, Confirmation and

Choir, OWLs and Bible Studies and

Council Meetings, and youth group, and

the list goes on and on; we fell in love

with you instantly.

Here at Faithful Lutheran Church on the Hill you shine the Light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ brightly. You are

a blessing to one another and a blessing to your neighborhoods and communities where you live and work. You are

people named, claimed, forgiven, called and sent to be the people of God in this place, that you might serve God’s

people all around you. You are talented, loving and open to the Word of the Lord and His ongoing mission. There are so

many opportunities waiting for you to explore serving God’s people in new ways and with Christian passion. Remember

that God’s call to serve always makes us a bit uncomfortable...and that is ok, because His Holy Spirit is always with us

to walk with us and shine through us. Be bold, good people of Gracious Lutheran Church on the Hill.

You are a blessing in so many ways. Annie and I are here for a few more weeks, and, then we will return to

Newberry College, and family in Louisville. We are forever changed because of your Christian love and witness, for that

we are truly thankful, and Praise God for this summer together.

These past couple weeks, I have spoken on the phone to no fewer than a dozen of our church members about an

illness involving one of our sisters in Christ. This particular member is a lifelong believer and a lover of music. One

of the things I share with her is a love for our old hymns. During these trying times, the words of some of our classic

hymns have given this saint, myself and numerous believers throughout the ages strength, hope and faith.

Here are some phrases from our “classic” hymns and what they mean to me today:

“While life’s dark maze I tread and griefs around me spread, be thou my guide:” LBW 479, My Faith Looks Up

to Thee, vs. 3.

There are things in my life that I just don’t know how to handle. The good news is, GOD DOES! This prayer

reminds me that I just need to let God be God and follow Him.

“Are we weak and heavy laden…, Cumbered with a load of care? In his arms he’ll take and shield you, You will

find a solace there.” LBW 439, What a Friend We Have in Jesus, vs. 3

Although I often put on a strong, confident face to the world, I have found that I am only as strong as my faith.

God is all powerful and will protect me from whatever this world throws at me. I don’t need to worry about

anything.

“Still your children wander homeless; Still the hungry cry for bread; Still the captives long for freedom; Still in

grief we mourn our dead. As you, Lord, in deep compassion healed the sick and freed the soul, by your Spirit

send your power to our world to make it whole.” LBW 423, Lord, Whose Love in Humble Service, vs. 2.

Watching the news, listening to the radio, reading the paper; there is much “bad news” in the world. It would be

easy to be discouraged. But, God’s Spirit is here, with us, in our world, and has the power to make us all whole.

And I have the ability to help, if only a little bit, by donating to FAM, visiting those who need assurance and ????

“Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; strength for today

and bright hope for tomorrow ,Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!” With One Voice 771, Great Is Thy

Faithfulness, vs. 3.

These words pretty much sum up the good news!

These are some of the “classic” hymns that have moved and inspired me. In one of Pastor Ernie’s recent “blog” posts,

he wrote about how the lyrics of a contemporary praise song that we have been singing at our “Bold” service move

him to tears. In the words of Martin Luther, “Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of

the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.”

Old music/new music, enjoy this wonderful gift from God.

Here’s the cure for the Summertime Blues …and here we are again, summertime!There are

many events and activities taking place this summer

with the youth of Our Savior’s and it is going to be

great! We have already welcomed our new Sixth

graders into the middle school group with our annual

“Welcome new Sixlet” BBQ and will be doing the

same with our high schoolers very soon. These groups

are filled with the most wonderful kids; they are

really a joy to be around.

In late June we will once again welcome the camp

staff from Lutheran Retreats, Camps, and

Conferences (LRCC) to our campus for Vacation Day

Camp and this year it is bigger and better than ever

with so many campers that LRCC has sent extra

counselors!

The High Schoolers will once again take part in the

Western States Youth Gathering held on the campus

of Cal Lutheran University. We will be partnering

with the youth from Community Lutheran Church in

Rancho Santa Margarita (and about 700 other teens

from the western United States) for the gathering and

hope to make strong connections during our time

together.

Later in July we will host Vacation Bible School, this

is always a wonderful time for the kids as well as the

adult and teen volunteers that make it work, many

thanks to all who are involved.

No summer at OSLC would be complete without

“Extreme Week” and this year is no exception, we

will be holding Extreme Week activities the week of

August 14-18, look for a registration form in this

newsletter.

As always, we will continue with our weekly

meetings for the Middle and High school groups as

well as our ongoing ministry with The Gilchrist

House and Welcome Inn.

So don’t be shy with that sunscreen and stay

hydratedhydrated, see you around the youth room.

your participation! Our Welcome INN coordinator is Heidi Works, [email protected] or (949) 212-0803.

Lutheran World Relief Personal Care * Baby Care Kits

Our formal drives are over, but we could still use some help meeting our goal of 500 quilts and kits to com-

memorate the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. The need couldn’t be greater with refugee cri-

ses in Syria and Africa and looming famines in several African countries.

We would be grateful for your continued financial support of this project.

We welcome your donations of any amount. Please make checks payable to Our Savior’s Lutheran

Church, memo: LWR Kits. Every dollar will be put toward supplies for the kits.

Thank You!

Sign-up to walk an hour and buy some of Pat Kelly’s famous oatmeal chocolate chip or molasses cookies to

support the cause on Sunday mornings August 13 & 20. You will also have an opportunity to purchase and

decorate commemorative luminaria to line our path during the Relay. Help us make this the best San

Clemente Relay for Life yet! It’s a great community and family event, and there will be lots of activities for

the kids.

You can join our team right now or make a donation on our team website at:
