Think you are too busy to come to church this summer? Think again… join us for

“Faith to Go” Sundays at 8:30 and 10am Faith to Go is a shortened worship service that will rejuvenate, refresh, and give you strength to go out into your daily lives. June 28: I am God’s July 5: I am loved July 12: I am forgiven July 19: I am not alone July 26: I am called August 2: I am lost and found August 9: I am here August 16: I am sent

And if you are away on the weekends join us Wednesdays at 7pm starting July 8 for: Road Trips and Rest Stops: Detours Worth Discovering Detours are not something we look forward to. Often when we see a detour sign we find ourselves getting frustrated and worried about arriving at our destination on time. But God’s often uses detours in our life to help us grow and learn. We will explore this summer in outdoor Wednesday Worship some of the detours God has used to help his people, and what we can learn from them. July 8: life in the big house July 15: an act of God July 22: stranger in a strange land July 29: healthy changes everything

FROM OUR PASTOR Dear Friends,

Would you like to learn a new word this summer? How does

“Pseudonymous” sound to you? Maybe a few of you already know what this

means. Found in the New Testament are letters that we are fairly certain are

“Pseudonymous.” It means that a book was written under someone else’s name. A

more recent (more recent than the Bible) would be Mark Twain, whose real name

was Samuel Clemens. This month the two letters I am introducing you almost all

scholars agree that they were not written by Paul, but by someone wishing to honor

him and his ministry. For July and August our books of the Bible continue the

“Pastoral Epistles” and they are called 1 and 2 Timothy.

You might wonder how scholars can be so sure that Paul didn’t write these

letters. The big reason is some of the topics he addresses. When Paul was starting

churches there wasn’t much of a church hierarchy. The first letter talks about a

church hierarchy, bishops and deacons, and Paul did not live to see that happen.

The other reasons include the language and topics discussed in these two letters.

There are sections that almost contradict other teachings we have found in the

letters Paul actually wrote. There are words used in these letters that Paul never

used.

So what do we do with a few Pseudonymous books found in our Bible? We

read them, and see if they can help us in our daily lives and our lives together as

God’s people. When the New Testament was put together in 367 AD they decided

to include the Pastoral Epistles even though they were not sure who the author was.

They believed the books had wisdom and could help people live out their faith

better. And so we, all these years later, read the Bible and these books and look for

what God is calling us to do.

1 Timothy talks about church order and how people should behave and how

they should treat others. You might recognize the words in 1 Timothy 6:12: “Fight

the good fight of faith.” 2 Timothy is different because it seems to be more of a

final testament, a beloved parent exhorting and blessing a faithful child.

Since you have two months feel free to take your time reading these two

books. And if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Happy reading!

God’s peace,

Pastor Serena

June 18, 2015 It has been a long season of disquiet in our country. From Ferguson to Baltimore, simmering racial tensions have boiled over into violence. But this … the fatal shooting of nine African Americans in a church is a stark, raw manifestation of the sin that is racism. The church was desecrated. The people of that congregation were desecrated. The aspiration voiced in the Pledge of Allegiance that we are “one nation under God” was desecrated. Mother Emanuel AME’s pastor, the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, was a graduate of the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, as was the Rev. Daniel Simmons, associate pastor at Mother Emanuel. The suspected shooter is a member of an ELCA congregation. All of a sudden and for all of us, this is an intensely personal tragedy. One of our own is alleged to have shot and killed two who adopted us as their own. We might say that this was an isolated act by a deeply disturbed man. But we know that is not the whole truth. It is not an isolated event. And even if the shooter was unstable, the framework upon which he built his vision of race is not. Racism is a fact in American culture. Denial and avoidance of this fact are deadly. The Rev. Mr. Pinckney leaves a wife and children. The other eight victims leave grieving families. The family of the suspected killer and two congregations are broken. When will this end? The nine dead in Charleston are not the first innocent victims killed by violence. Our only hope rests in the innocent One, who was violently executed on Good Friday. Emmanuel, God with us, carried our grief and sorrow – the grief and sorrow of Mother Emanuel AME church – and he was wounded for our transgressions – the deadly sin of racism. I urge all of us to spend a day in repentance and mourning. And then we need to get to work. Each of us and all of us need to examine ourselves, our church and our communities. We need to be honest about the reality of racism within us and around us. We need to talk and we need to listen, but we also need to act. No stereotype or racial slur is justified. Speak out against inequity. Look with newly opened eyes at the many subtle and overt ways that we and our communities see people of color as being of less worth. Above all pray – for insight, for forgiveness, for courage. Kyrie Eleison. The Rev. Elizabeth A.
