much that He gave us Je-

sus. Generosity, giving, is

part of the very nature of

God. This is not usually what

we consider when we think

about Stewardship. We usu-

ally think of stewardship as (1)

a financial issue, and (2) a

matter of duty.

Due to a glut of sermons on what to do with our money (give it to the church), we

have been conditioned to think of stewardship as strictly, or at best primarily, a financial is-sue. But it is not. Stewardship is, as the Covenant once put it, "God's people using God's stuff to accomplish God's pur-poses." We are God's people and have been given a lot of stuff by God. Yes, money is

O ur Vision Statement,

the means by which

we carry out or mis-

sion of Growing Disciples,

Growing the Church, and

Growing the Kingdom of God,

states that we do this through

teaching and praise, through

service and sharing, through

loving and giving. To help us

figure out how to live out this

Vision statement, we will be

focusing on a differ-

ent piece of this

statement at differ-

ent times each

year. This fall, with

the conclusion of

our three-year capi-

tal campaign, we

thought it fitting that

we should focus on

our giving. The the-

ological word for this is Stew-

ardship.

Probably the best-known

verse in all of scripture, the

gospel in one short statement,

John 3:16 has shown up eve-

rywhere from sermons to

sporting events. And the key

word of this verse is

"gave". God loved us so

one thing God has given us but so are our houses, fami-lies, friends, neighborhoods, abilities, experiences, and even time itself. When we begin to see everything we have as a gift from God, we begin to see that we don't own any of it. We are simply the ones charged by God with using His stuff as He would want us to. These same sermons have appealed to our sense of duty when it comes to our giving. We give because we "should" or because "we owe it to God." This is where our Tithing language comes from - we owe God 10% of our money, with the false impli-cation that the rest is ours to use as we wish. Instead, stewardship is about reflect-ing the character of God, be-ing more Godly, by living life generously. When we be-come like God in this area, we become generous peo-ple, who desire to give rather than hoard or shop or gam-ble God's gifts away. So as we consider how we as a church can Grow through our stewardship, consider God's generosity. Can we give freely and sacri-ficially to others, to God's mission, to our church, and to each other as a means of discipleship? Can we try to break the hold money has on us by giving 1% more away this year than we did last year? Can we be the source of God's blessing for others rather than seeking that blessing for ourselves?

September Sermon Series “Does it Matter?”

IN AUGUST!

Please join us in Adult Sunday School this fall for a series on Strengthening Our Faith. There are questions that keep people from respond-ing to Christ: Is there a God? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Why does God allow evil and suffering? Is organized religion harmful? We Chris-tians often don't know how to address these questions and might even harbor our own doubts from them. This series will address these questions head-on to help us to have confidence in our faith and be pre-pared to explain it to others in winsome and non-confrontational ways. We will all meet together in the Sanctu-ary at 9:15 a.m. on Kickoff Sunday, August 26th. On September 2nd we will start with an introductory session and then continue on September 9 by considering some basic questions about the Christian faith. Please join us!

LCC’s Youth Ministry theme this year is UNITE. In Ephe-

sians 4:1-6 the Apostle Paul urges the church to live a life

worthy of the calling we have received. He implores the

church to be humble, gentle, bearing with one another in

love. And challenges the body of Christ to make every effort

to keep the unity of the Spirit o the Lord through the bond of

peace. What is the true purpose of this unity? We

are called, as “mission friends” to unite in peace, for the

world, around the purposes of God. I always enjoy contact

with the LCC youth and parents, and invite you to email me

(paul@libcov.org), call/text 847-331-3640, or stop by the of-

fice at any time. The church office will be closed on Mondays.

Dear Parent,

This year will be a year of transition as we said “thank you” and “farewell” to Bobby on Sunday, August 19th. Children’s ministries will continue as usual. There will be a few chang-es as children’s ministry will be led by myself, along with the rest of the CF Committee, and Niki Papak for this year. In the meantime, the Christian Formation (CF) committee and Council will be evaluating the children’s ministries at LCC in an effort to make the best determination as to how to move forward in the year(s) to come. If you have any feedback - ideas, concerns, or questions, please contact me or another member of the CF committee. Otherwise, here is what you can expect:

Sunday School Kickoff will be Sunday, August 26th starting at 9:15 a.m. in the sanctuary. After our Sunday School opening session (for all ages), we will be asking children and at least one parent from each family unit to join us downstairs for a special activity. Any other adults will be invited to join us, as well. Worship and the usual picnic will follow. Please bring a side dish, salad, or dessert to share.

Sunday School lessons will continue to be about the Old Testament using the Gospel Project curriculum.

Kids Club will start Wednesday, September 5th at 6:15 p.m.. We will continue to use the Gospel Project materials that focus on the New Testament. Children’s Church will continue and Children ’s Worship bags will continue to be available for kids to use during worship, as well.

Data sheets - yes, we do need you to fill out a yearly updated data sheet for each of your children. We are required to do this to keep in compliance with our insur-ance and safety policy. We looked into doing this elec-tronically, but were not able to find a free and secure online program at this time. May it be another year of GROWing more CHRISTlike!

To God’s Glory, Heather Larson

It doesn't seem likely now, but cold weather is coming....and that means PADS will be starting up for the season.

Based on last year's par-ticipation and generosity by our church, we have commit-ted to setting up beds, and providing and serving dinner for three Saturdays. The first Saturday is December 1st and we hope to have young families setting up the beds that evening. On Feb-ruary 2, 2019, our Junior High group will be setting up beds and serving the din-ner. The Senior High group will do the same on March 2, 2019

More information will be coming in the future about food contributions and other needs. Thank you, LCC, for your willingness to help in this way over the last several years!

Silent Directed Retreat at CPBC: Sept 14-16, 2018! The theme of the 2018 Silent Directed Retreat is Praying With Henri Nouwen. Nouwen (1932-1996) was a Dutch Catholic priest who spent his life in service as a professor, writer, and theologian. Along with teaching at Notre Dame and the divinity schools of Yale and Har-vard, Nouwen was the author of 39 books. At various seasons of his life, he lived with the Trappist monks in the Abbey of Gene-see, the poor in Peru, and the L’Arche Community in Trosly, France. In 1986 Nouwen moved to the Daybreak L’Arche Com-munity near Toronto, Ontario. He spent his last 10 years in this community of individuals with developmental disabilities living with assistants. Join us for the singing of Taize chants and talks that focus on some of Nouwen’s themes in his writings, such as silence, soli-tude, and prayer. Our worship will conclude with lectio divina prayer with texts related to the theme. The weekend will include a private room for each participant with plenty of space for silence and solitude. There will be times of worship and opportunities to meet with a spiritual director. Pricing and details at www.cpbc.com/silent-retreat.

Our Mission is… to grow disciples, to grow the church, and to grow the Kingdom of God.

Our Vision is… We grow disciples as we praise and learn together We grow the church as we love and give together We grow the Kingdom of God as we serve and share together

Our Core Values are… Community: everyone is welcome to join us on the journey Authenticity: being real people with real issues before our real God. Relationships: with God, each other, and the world around us Engagement: all are gifted, all are called, all have a place in the ministry

The Evangelical Covenant Church affirms the centrality of the scriptures, with emphasis upon the grace of God.

Covenanters also have a tradition of freedom that accepts a diversity of backgrounds and doctrinal positions,

while maintaining a common unity in Christ. The Covenant has often been called a Family of Faith.

Our congregational life indicates that this is an apt description.
