alive!A quarterly publication from

St. Paul’s Lutheran Church & School

A few years ago, Bette Midler’s song “Wind Beneath My Wings” was high on the charts. It’s a praise song to a person’s faithful love that freed her to “fly higher than an eagle … cause you are the wind beneath my wings.”

The weeks of Lent are moving into Holy Week and Easter. Where Midler’s song celebrated soar-ing, God is drawn to a different direction—so

save us from below. The “Drama Beneath our Feet” comes alive as we walk with Jesus in Lent and then join believers everywhere in celebrat-ing his victory at Easter.

The notion “beneath our feet” dawned on me when I read about the United States Geo-logical Survey northeast Iowa mapping project. The survey uses sophisticated aerial tools to see

ancient rock formations now buried by millennia of sedi-ment. Recently, a remarkable discovery confirmed what lo-cal geologists and well drillers had suspected A very unusual geological formation exists deep beneath Decorah. Now it’s more clear. About 460 mil-lion years ago, a large mete-orite slammed into the earth right where Decorah now stands. It left a deep circu-lar basin about four and a half miles wide that’s now filled with sediment. The moment of impact must have been a ter-rifying moment of heat, noise, strewn debris and massive en-ergy. The drama was beneath

the feet of Decorah residents all along. Now they know.

“Beneath our feet” also con-nects the stories of this edition of Alive. The Holy Spirit inspires adults to dig through layers of sediment and make the story of Jesus alive for children and youth. Joy Becker shares how Lenten Preschool uncovered the story of Jesus for her son Dan-iel, thanks to the “effective faith bearing” of Lenten preschool leader Barbara Zemke. Mentor Jon Tehven reflects on the men-toring relationship with Noah Solheim, uncovering a common faith through discussion, study and service. “Beneath our feet” also draws to Fitness Fridays by

Caitlyn Reinders, reminding us of health and spiritual walking the ground beneath our feet. Check out summer service trips for youth, as their feet walk to places where struggles with hunger, poverty, and injustice unearth new insights into Je-sus’ story.

Who needs really needs wind beneath wings when our feet can walk the path of Je-sus? Our task from God is to dig deep, be surprised by dis-coveries, celebrate what we have in common and walk for-ward in confidence.

Blessed Holy Week and Easter.

2 alive! :: March 2013 stpaulswaverly.org

When I was young, I was able to participate in Lenten preschool with Barbara Zemke. I admit that I do not remem-ber much about that experi-ence, although I do still have a Christmas ornament I made in Advent preschool. I do re-member feeling connected to the church at an early age. One of the fun things about moving back to Waverly is that our children now get to par-ticipate in some of the same activities I did as a child. There

have certainly been changes at St. Paul’s over the years, at both the church and school, but the commitment to educa-tion remains strong. Last year, our son Daniel was able to at-tend both Advent and Lenten preschool with Mrs. Zemke.

Participating in Lenten pre-school gives children a chance to learn about the sacrifice God made in sending Jesus to

the cross in a caring, age-ap-propriate setting. These days, it seems easy to focus on the happiness of Easter morning, especially with spring deco-rations, Easter egg hunts, and perhaps Easter baskets or oth-er gifts. However, it can be dif-ficult to ponder the sadness of Jesus’ death on the cross and

what it must have been like for those closest to Jesus. While Jesus’ death is certainly not the “fun” part of Easter, it’s central to the story and the meaning of Easter. One of the things I appreciate about Lenten pre-school is the opportunity it provides children, as well as their parents, to reflect on the whole story, from Palm Sun-day through Good Friday to the happy ending—the joy of Easter.

The experience of Lenten preschool goes beyond the Easter story, though. To me, one of the most important as-pects of Daniel’s education is learning that church is a place where he can hear and con-nect with stories about God and Jesus, in a comfortable, caring environment, with oth-er children and adults. That might be through playing games, making crafts, singing songs, saying prayers, reading

books, or a number of other activities. Learning about Jesus can be fun! In the book Frogs without Legs Can’t Hear, Da-vid W. Anderson and Paul Hill describe “effective adult faith bearers” as authentic, available, and affirming, known as “Tri-ple A” adults. Shown through her dedication to children in Lenten preschool, Mrs. Zemke is one of those “Triple A” adults who helps shape the faith of the children she teaches.

The mobile Daniel made last year during Lenten pre-school is still hanging up in our house. On the hanger is a person holding a palm leaf, with Jesus in his/her heart; a cup, to remember the last supper; a cross, symbolizing God’s sacrifice; and a butter-fly, representing the new life we have in Jesus. Yes, it is a little faded and didn’t neces-sarily fit all the seasons, but it has served as a reminder throughout the year of God’s gift of eternal life.

It also reminds me of our gift of Daniel, and the prom-ise we make as a congrega-tion when children are bap-tized: to support and pray for them as they join the family of God. Lenten preschool is one opportunity where children’s faith is nurtured through our church community.

Holy Week & Easter Worship ServicesPalm Sunday // regular worship times, March 23 & 24Children are invited to gather in the entryway and then join in palm processionals. This year we will dramatize the story of Jesus’ betrayal, trial, and death from Luke’s Gospel in words and music.

Maundy Thursday // March 28, 7pmMaundy Thursday worship builds on the last beatitudes. “Blessed are the persecuted” who remain faithful to Jesus in the face of rejec-tion, ridicule, and even death. We are sustained in a community that eats at one table and then serves in humility. The rite of footwashing at this service calls us to accept our servanthood dis-cipleship. The stripping of the altar and subdued light in the sanctuary end the service with a sol-emn note.

Good Friday: Veneration of the Cross // March 29, noonVeneration is an ancient service of word, music, quiet prayer, and movement to draw us into the love of God made visible and powerful in the suffering of Jesus. We connect to the majestic love of God with spoken and silent prayer as the cross moves through our midst.

Good Friday // March 29, 7pm // Parish HallChairs circle around the cross. Candles light the perimeter of the circle. Scripture from the Suf-fering Servant in Isaiah and Mark’s story of the crucifixion are interspersed with simple songs. The hymn “Where You There?” concludes the worship.

Holy Saturday // March 30, 7pmThe Easter Vigil draws us to the drama of walk-ing from deep darkness into dawn. Worshipers gather at the paschal fire in the street and then move with candles into the dark sanctuary to hear the story of salvation—the drama that un-folds from Creation to the New Creation. Sev-enth grade confirmation students and parents help with this service.

Easter Sunday // March 31, 7am, 9am, 11:15amThe empty tomb fills us with joy. God has the last word. The word is Life. The Word is the liv-ing, loving, forgiving, sustaining grace of God in Jesus Christ.


Major gift expands Endowment FundLong-time member included St. Paul’s in her will

A member of St. Paul’s Church who loved children and learning has provided a sizeable gift for the congre-gation’s parish school. Evelyn Dücker, the contents of whose estate were recently admin-istered, designated proceeds, amounting to nearly $2.8 million, for the education of young people.

Half the total, $1,387,724.63, was designated for the con-gregation’s Faith Forever En-dowment Fund, which, unless gifts are otherwise designat-ed, supports the ministry of St. Paul’s Lutheran School. Be-fore Dücker’s gift, the endow-ment balance was $2.5 million. It now stands at nearly $3.9 million.

The other half of the be-quest, which was made pos-sible through the sale of two farms, is designated for the Dollars for Scholars program of Denver, Iowa. Dücker was a long-time school teacher in the Denver public school system.

Evelyn’s nephew, Michael Dempsey, presented identi-cal checks to representatives of the congregation and the Denver non-profit at a gath-ering held at St. Paul’s Church on March 14. He said, “Evelyn wanted her estate to benefit the education of children.”

Receiving the check in-tended for the St. Paul’s En-dowment Fund, parish mem-ber Vern Byl became visibly emotional as he said, “This gift will benefit many children far into the future.”

Evelyn Dücker was just three days short of celebrating her 92nd birthday at the time of her death. She and her hus-band, Clarence, were childless. They lived on the family farm south of Waverly. Clarence died 35 years ago. When Ev-elyn’s health declined, she re-located to the Bartels Lutheran Retirement Community.

Both Evelyn and Clar-ence were faithful members of St. Paul’s Church. Evelyn worked as a funeral coordinator for the congregation for many years. At Sunday worship she could be seen seated in the back of the nave, under the balcony.

Beginning her teaching ca-reer with a two-year certificate, Evelyn later decided to com-plete a four-year program at Wartburg College. St. Paul’s member Ron Matthias, who taught in the teacher prepara-tion program at the college for many years, remembers that Evelyn enrolled in at least one of his classes. “It was one time when the student was actually older than the instructor,” he re-calls. He observed, “She was an excellent student at Wartburg.”

Remarking on the signifi-cance of the Dücker gift, Byl said, “This is the largest single gift to St. Paul’s Congregation since the parish was founded in 1879.”

Fitness FridaysCaitlyn Reinders, Wartburg student

What is Fitness Fridays?

Fitness Fridays is a program to give the kids an alternative at recess. They can walk three laps, all the laps are recorded and used to fuel a competition between classes. The class that has the most walkers every month gets to have the traveling trophy.

Why are you focusing on walking?

This was a part of my leadership class for a program we call ISP’s or individual service proj-ects. We could choose any organization to work with, as long as we served a leadership role and worked a certain amount of hours. Working

with kids has always been a passion of mine, so Renee Sedlacek recommended that I work on starting this program. My first contact was with Janet McCullough who wanted to help start a program modeling what Southeast Elementary with their walking program. Walking is an easy thing to do for these kids and its an easy way to help get them focused on starting to think about living a healthier lifestyle.

What do you hope kids and families take away from the program?

I hope that these kids see that something as simple as walking can be fun. A lot of them will


walk with their friends and make it a social time. This could be something families do together outside of school. I just hope these kids realize that with our technology today, there are still other fun things to do rather than just play video games and watch TV all day.

How are faith and wellness connected?

Normally, I view my athletic ability as one of my God-given gifts. Some people can sing, some people can write, but I can play soccer. I am so blessed to have all the opportunities that have come as a result of soccer. One of the

main reasons I came to Wartburg was because here I can have both. Both sides are very im-portant in my life. Before my injuries, every day I played knowing I was blessed enough to play another day, when there are people out there would would love to me in my position. Be-cause of that I tried to leave everything on the field and take advantage of all the great things that God has given me. Both of these aspects of my life have taught me to never take anything for granted and take the good out of everything.

I hope that people learn that fitness can be as easy or as hard as you want to make it. It can be as simple as walking for an extra 10 minutes every day and every little bit counts.

“Noah, you’ve been in con-firmation for two years, and I’ve been your mentor. Why did you select me?” I asked Noah Solheim.

“Remember when we did the scrap metal drive and I came with my dad? I got to know you then and that’s why I asked you,” Noah answered. Sometimes we never know what makes an impression.

For more than two years I don’t think we’ve missed being together for Advent at the Arch or Kinderlent services. We’ve shopped Christmas gifts for the needy, and volunteered to-gether at soup suppers. It isn’t just getting to know Noah, it’s also getting to know his mom, dad, and brother.

After the Kinderlent soup supper, Noah and I sit together and review the service, using materials from the pastors. It’s a good time for both of us.

A couple of weeks ago we went to Duos and chatted about writing this article. We talked about his confirmation experiences, his ‘memorable moments’. Highlights were learning about his faith and understanding the Gospels, especially Jesus appearing af-ter the resurrection; hanging

out with his friends after class; service projects together; fin-ishing his sermon notes.

I remember when Noah was in 6th grade and after Kinderlent I read his sermon note. “Noah,” I said, “You used an apostrophe correctly!” I exclaimed.

“Well, yeah,” Noah said, “I learned that in 5th grade.” So, at Duos we talked about his memorable moments at St. Paul’s School: youth choir, reading scripture and par-ticipating in skits at worship, EWALU retreat and the “leap of faith.” Good times.

And as Noah talked about his memorable moments, I be-gan remembering the memo-rable moments of my con-firmation and faith life, some fresh in my mind and some forgotten, that brought me to where I am today.

When I was confirmed we had Saturday morning classes during the school year and two-week, all day classes for two summers! Confirmation included a public examina-tion in front of the congrega-tion. Talk about terrified kids! We knew Luther’s Small Cate-chism word for word. This was most certainly true!

Noah talked about Jesus appearing after the resurrec-tion. I remember our pastor, George Unruh, asking about Jesus appearing to travelers after His resurrection. Where were they going? I knew the answer: Emmaus! And when I look at the window on the East wall of St. Paul’s sanctuary, I remember.

My confirmation class-mates were also my school mates. Growing up on a farm near Arthur, N.D., and going to a high school of 42 stu-dents, we did a lot of things together in school. Chorus, band, plays, sports. We all did everything. Same at St. John’s Lutheran Church, member-ship about 200. We sang in the choir, taught Sunday School, and had a very active Luther League. I think at least 10 of us went to the International Lu-ther League gathering at Pur-due University.

Every fall we had an all-day mission festival. The mission-ary preached and told stories about places I had never heard of, the church basement la-dies prepared lunch and an early supper—we had to get home to do the chores—and we collected a lot of money to

support the missionary. May-be that’s where I got the mo-tivation to travel and support organizations like Self Help International.

Thinking about Noah’s confirmation experiences at St. Paul’s, I began reflecting on the confirmation experiences of our two daughters at St. An-drew’s Lutheran Church, Glen-wood, IL. Merrill Berg was their confirmation instructor and mentor. Even after these many years, they comment on how important he was in their con-firmation experience. We still exchange Christmas greetings

with Merrill and when we are in the Chicago area, we attend services at St. Andrew’s and re-new friendships. Today, both of our daughters are very active in their Lutheran churches in the Minneapolis area: singing in the choir, directing the youth chime choir, teaching Sunday School, mentoring students, synod leadership, and more.

A few years ago our grand-children were confirmed. They taught Sunday School, were mentors, participated in the youth group, went to Bible Camp and the Youth Gathering in New Orleans. Today they are

in college, preparing for their careers. I have no doubt their faith life will be a three-peat of their heritage.

Mentoring isn’t just about the student. It’s much more. It’s also about Noah’s family. We worship together at Advent at the Arch and Kinderlent. We know each other and what each values.

Someday Noah will look back at the memorable mo-ments of his journey through life, and those moments will be about faith, family, and friends.

John Tehven and Noah Solheim work together after Kinderlent on Ash Wednesday.
