CHRIST CHRONICLE

From the Principal

Mark von Soosten

Each year when it is time to write the

Chronicle article for August, I work on

something different to say. Since a principal’s

days in July are filled with start of the year prepa-

rations and tasks, it can be repetitive from year to

year. That’s not the case this year!

One very visible change is in our playground. The

machines have been moving dirt around for a

week and they are now starting to prepare to pour

new concrete for the seating area and the basket-

ball court. The sand is gone from the slide and

swings and we are waiting for the arrival of the

new climbing bars so that they can be installed. It

will be so great to not have the dirt patch any-

more! Thanks to everyone that had donated to-

wards this project and also to the people that

have served on the committee to oversee the

changes.

Of course, we have great things going on in the

church as well. The new wood floor looks wonder-

ful. It will be great to see it all unveiled on August

16 at our dedication celebration.

Some of the changes taking place this month are

related to staffing. Patty van Dyck resigned as Pre

-school director, but will be continuing to teach in

the pre-school classroom. She served as director

and taught for 14 years. Kimberly Rasmussen,

our second grade teacher and previous Pre-School

Director, will be assuming those responsibilities.

Joy Arnold has taught at Christ Lutheran for eight

years in a variety of capacities, most recently as

art teacher. She also had previously served as our

fifth grade teacher and filled in with English and

spelling classes. Mrs. Arnold’s position was cut

due to declining enrollment. She will be missed.

Mary Ann Aragon’s full-time school secretary posi-

tion was cut as well. She took on the huge job of

taking over for LuAnn Blea when LuAnn retired

from the school secretary position. Mary Ann did a

great job and she will also be missed. Finally, Mrs.

Kimery Doyle, who taught middle school English

the past two years and all of our physical educa-

tion classes last year, is moving to North Carolina (continued in the next column)

Stephen Ministry…A Caring Ministry

We have a loving congregation. We have a caring

congregation. I see this on almost a daily basis

and it excites me.

I have also seen people hurting in our congrega-

tion. I have seen people suffering in our congrega-

tion. I have seen people in need of support and

love.

A question for me for some time now is how do we

best equip our loving caring congregation to meet

the needs of those in our congregation as they go

through times of suffering, loss, hurt, depression

and conflict. It has been put on my heart that a po-

tential answer may be Stephen Ministry.

(Continued on page 8)

From the Congregation

President Jerry Shroff, Congregation Chairman

(continued from the previous column)

with her family. She will also be missed.

Sometimes life feels like riding a roller coast-

er. The excitement of new things can some-

times be followed by challenges and difficul-

ties. It is easy, but dangerous, to get caught

up in the ups and downs of events. When

that happens to me I try to remind myself that

God is in charge and that His plan is perfect,

even when I don’t know which way He wants

me to go. It is when I try to take over the con-

trols that the crashes can occur. May the Holy

Spirit remind us all that His plan is better than

our plan. We place our trust in Him and pray

for His guidance so that all we do will be to

His glory!

Thank you for your continued support and

prayers for our school!

In Christ,

Mark von Soosten

CHRIST CHRONICLE Page 5

FROM THE YOUTH DIRECTOR

by Leslie Helge

2016 LCMS National

Youth Gathering

July 16th-20th in

New Orleans, LA

“In Christ Alone”

Held every 3 years, the LCMS Youth Gathering

provides thousands of youth and adults the op-

portunity to come together as a community of

God’s people to learn more about Jesus Christ,

the Christian faith and their Lutheran identity.

During the five days of the Gathering, youth

spend time together in God’s word, worship, ser-

vice and fellowship with others from across the

synod. This event is organized by LCMS Youth

Ministry in Saint Louis, MO.

At the 2016 LCMS Youth Gathering, In

Christ Alone, we will come together around the

book of Philippians and these three sub-

themes: Humility, Identity, and Community.

These sub-themes will form the basis for future

Bible studies and discussion guides to be made

available on the Gathering website and on-site

at the Gathering.

Humility

Scripture focus: Philippians 2:5-11

God humiliates Himself for us in Christ. Christ’s

humility is our humility. This isn’t just a virtue

but our reality. There is joy in living out humility

in Christ alone.

Identity

Scripture focus: Philippians 2:5-11, 1:21-26,

3:8-12

We live as both sinner and saint. This ‘identity

crisis’ is resolved in the blood of Christ. In Christ

we are forgiven and given vocations in which to

live out our identity in service to God and others.

There is joy in our identity in Christ alone.

Community

Scripture focus: Philippians 2:5-11, 1:3-7

There is true community in Christ alone. (Continues on the next column)

“I am the bread of life;

whoever comes to me

shall not hunger, and who-

ever believes in me shall

never thirst…For this is the

will of my Father, that eve-

ryone who looks on the

Son and believes in him

should have eternal life,

and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:35,40

One of the key points in VBS this year was “God

has the power to comfort.” When asked during

devotions, “What is your go-to for comfort?” my

answer would have to be food. No surprise,

right? How much better for the body and the

soul, if it would be the “bread that came down

from heaven,” our Jesus!

The first three Sundays in August we read the

Gospel of John, chapter 6, all about the Bread of

Life. Believing in Him, we rejoice in the Sacra-

ment of Holy Communion where we receive for-

giveness of sins with His body and His blood.

Excitement abounds as we await our new chan-

cel area with new configurations as we ap-

proach the altar!

The organ will come back into use on August 16,

if all goes as planned. I have so enjoyed playing

the piano for worship, and so many of you have

expressed your pleasure in it as well. Thank you

for your kind words! To God be the Glory!

NOTES FROM YOUR

MUSIC DIRECTOR

By Beth Shroff

(YOUTH DIRECTOR—Continued from the first column)

Community is diverse and inclusive spanning

across space and time. Community is a place to

receive and practice grace. There is joy in the com-

munity created in Christ alone.

More information will be made available in the

weeks to come.

Peace,

Leslie

Saving Bear’s Life

He was a Native American seat-

ed on the ground and leaning

against our church house

fence.

I just assumed he was drunk

like so many alcholics we deal

with every day. But I checked

on him as we always do. It turns

out he was a diabetic and was

low on blood sugar.

We got him some food then

found out more about him. He

had been walking for 6 miles,

but because he had been hit by

a car in the past, it took him 6

hours to walk it. His name was

Bear.

I drove him to his home and as

always, shared Jesus with him

and prayed for him. If we were-

n't there, he could have passed

out in the hot sun and just been

ignored like another diabetic

was in the area earlier. He

could have died. But we do

more than rescue lives, we res-

cue souls. We share the good

news of Jesus that people

might be saved. Please contin-

ue to pray for God's blessings

on our work.

CARE for the needy! FOOD,

Used clothing, shoes, towels,

blankets, coats, orphaned

socks and gloves, children's

books, plastic grocery bags, and

kitchen items are always appre-

ciated!

Are you a Thrivent member? If

so, you could get together a

food drive or other service pro-

ject for us and Thrivent would

help get you started with $250.

Go to their website at:

https://www.thrivent.com/actio

nteam/ for more info. and con-

tact me for ideas.

Donations are always appreciat-

ed! Funds are used for evange-

lism, job training, rent, food, our

Back To Work program (getting

hygiene necessities to volun-

teers) and for other ministry

needs. Pastor Mark takes no

salary so we can do more. To

donate just make your check

out to Christ Lutheran Church

(our mother church) and put

God Cares About You in the

memo. Tax deductible! Just ask

if you would like a financial re-

port. Thanks for all your help!

CHRIST CHRONICLE Page 8

You will be hearing a lot about Stephen Ministry as

we prayerfully decide if it is a direction we want to

go to equip our congregation to better support one

and another during our journey with Christ.

I know many of you are wondering is Stephen Min-

istry. One best definition that I have found is that it

is a ministry to help the “after” we all experience

from time to time. After…

…after the phone call you hoped you would never

get.

…after the funeral, when everyone has left and the

emotions you’ve held at bay come crashing in on

you.

…after the doctor says, “I’m sorry but ther is noth-

ing more we can do.

…after the baby arrives, demanding more of you

than you ever dreamed possible.

…after you receive a pink slip with your final pay

check

…after your friends and family have heard your

story one too many times but you still need to talk

it out.

Stephen Ministry equips us to be the “after peo-

ple”. Through intense training, commitment and

prayer it enables members of our congregation to

be able to comfort and support one another as

long as needed.

One question that several people have asked me

is it “Lutheran”. YES! It is a caring Christian minis-

try that is actively engaged in many of our most

successful active Lutheran Churches.

To name a few churches in our Rocky Mountain

District with active Stephen Ministries you just

have to look at some of our largest, most engaged

congregations. Redeemer in Fort Collins, Peace

Arvada, St Johns in Denver, Mount Olive in Aurora,

Our Father in Centennial and Ascension in Little-

ton Colorado are just a few that have active Ste-

phen Ministries.

What I am seeing, what I am being told and what I

believe to be true with Stephen Ministry is that for

it to be successful it takes commitment and Pray-

er. What I know is that our congregation is good

at committing to things and I know we have some

really good “Pray-ers”.

So as we look at Stephen Ministries and decide if

it is a good fit for us is to do just that – Please lift

it up in Prayer. Please commit to learning more

about this ministry as we meet and share. Please

pray to see if it is something that may be on your

heart to be a part of. I believe it can become a vi-

tal part of our ministry. I look forward to learning

more and sharing with you.

God’s Peace,

Jerry

August 2, 2015 – John 6:22-35 “Enduring Food” by Rev.

James L. Elsner, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church~Stroh, IN

Are you hungry? So many things can fill us – for the mo-

ment. There is enduring food that fills us and sustains eter-

nally. That food is the Bread of Life.

August 9, 2015 – John 6:41-51 “One Thing Remains” by

Rev. Dr. Thomas R. Ahlersmeyer, Holy Cross Lutheran

Church, Fort Wayne, IN So much of what occupies our

thoughts and activities is so, so temporary. When things

such as house, car, job, appetite and, yes, even family are

willingly or unwillingly surrendered by us, ONE THING RE-

MAINS. Jesus is the “Bread of Life” who exchanges His life

for “the life of the world.”

August 16, 2015 – John 6:66-69 “The Words of Eternal

Life” by Rev. Dr. Walter A. Maier III, Concordia Theological

Seminary~Fort Wayne, IN The words of Christ – the Gospel

– are the words of eternal life. These are the most im-

portant words that we can hear and read. These words con-

vey, convert, and comfort, and result in our having tremen-

dous blessings – now, and forever.

August 23, 2015 – Mark 7:1-13 “Tradition and Doctrine” by

Rev. Dr. Daniel J. Brege, St. Paul Lutheran Church~Decatur,

IN God has given us His Word, the Word which centers in

Christ Jesus our Savior. God's people have developed and

handed down traditions. These can be good if they magnify

God's Word. If they replace God's Word, the Word centering

in Christ, they are evil. May we both magnify God's Word

and use traditions that support and enhance that Word.

August 30, 2015 – Ephesians 6:10-20 “Dressed

Appropriately” by Rev. Paul E. Shoemaker, Emanuel Luther-

an Church~New Haven, IN We are engaged in a real fight at

close quarters against spiritual forces of wickedness.

Against such enemies, it is necessary to put on the whole

armor of God so that we will be able to stand firm in the day

of fierce temptations and attacks, whenever that day may

come.

Welcome back to our monthly Honor Circle meet-

ings. In August, we will meet at Le Peep on Louisi-

back. Come a little before 12 noon.

And this is a new invitation to

all ladies and their friends,

who are 55 and older, to join

us for good fellowship. We al-

ways have a good time talking.

Call Eunice at 889-9705 or

Marcia at 271-1287 if you have

questions or need a ride.

And don't forget to purchase a SCRIP (gift) card

for Le Peep.

HONOR

CIRCLE

We will not meet in August, but have some great

plans for Sept., Oct. and Nov.

Of course, if you have

ideas, please contact

Lee Swanger (294-

6752) and Eunice

Hoeft (889-9705)

Women’s Lunch

ALL women are invited to a luncheon in the parish hall on Sunday, Aug. 23 starting after the second service ends

- approximately 12:15 p.m.

The Christ Lutheran Women’s Guild will be hosting this luncheon.

Some of the ladies who attended the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League Convention in Des Moines, Iowa in June will share a few brief expe-riences and memories. The women’s guild will also hold their annual elections during this meet-ing, but the main focus will be to gather with oth-er women for a time of faith, food, friends, fel-lowship, and fun! (Nothing to bring or do - just come.)

All ladies, PLEASE feel welcome.

If you have any questions, contact Eunice Hoeft, 889-9705.
