Area Ministry 5 June

2016

Congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Central States Synod

Synod Assembly in Wichita

Thirty of the Assembly delegates participated in a Wichita area service project including help-

ing out at the Kansas Food Bank, helping at Mision San Juan de Dios and serving a lunch to

community members at St. Paul’s-Wichita offering the menu of the Community Breakfast

served there each Saturday (except the first Saturday of each month). Katie and Ken Hobart of

Reformation, Elaine Harvey, Mary McCrea and Pastor Dave Fulton of St. Paul’s-Wichita

and the Rev. Maynard Peterson were among the local volunteers who helped the delegate vol-

unteers get started - the group quickly got into the swing of cracking eggs and creating deli-

cious pancakes and then welcoming and serving lunch to the neighbors who attended.

The Son of God, Our Christ The Son of God, our Christ, the

Word, the Way, shared human life

and toiled throughout the day; from

common folk he called the twelve to

be co-workers in his sacred ministry.

In ev’ry test, in trials manifold, these

servants witnessed by their faith

made bold; and with the gifts and

talents which they brought the church

was founded and God’s message

taught.

Today, as then, Christ summos us to

dare to follow boldly and his work to

share, to help and heal the sick, the

blind, the lame, declaring to the

world his holy name.

In city street, in town, or on the soil,

may each serve Christ in faithful

daily toil, and in each thought and

kinly word and deed, obey Christ call

and go where he shall need.

Where’er we find our witness should be

made, that e’er our task, be thou, O

Christ, our aid, that we may gladly give

for thee our best and find each task di-

vinely sent and blest.

LIRS Presentation at Christ-Wichita

A number of Area 5 peo-

ple attended a presenta-

tion by Pr. Paul Erbes of

Lutheran Immigration

and Refugee Services at

Christ Lutheran the

morning of June 2 and

heard a very interesting

update of LIRS services

with refugees, unaccom-

panied children, and im-

migrants – and the status

of each of those groups. LIRS is the second largest settler

of refugees in the US, working in partnership with the U.S.

Dept. of State. One of the points brought up is no State

can deny entrance of refugees – the U.S. has that authority.

Any person admitted by the U.S. may live in any state.

Interesting discussion.

By the grace of God and the call of the church

Mosaic Moment

Mosaic was founded over 103 years ago by servant leaders

of the Lutheran church. Rev. K.G. William Dahl looked

upon a field north of

Axtell, Nebraska

and said, "There is

where we will build

our mission." For

some time, the dream to build a home for people unwelcome

elsewhere had been growing in his heart. He had seen how

people with disabilities, people with epilepsy, the poor and

others were treated in the county farms and other institutions

and he wanted to offer something better.

Founded on Feb. 19, 1913, the home he established was

called Bethphage Mission. There, people were treated as

guests, rather than inmates. They were respected, not re-

sented. They found welcome, not hostility. People who were

unwelcome elsewhere flourished and created a community

of Christian charity where everyone helped each other, staff

and residents alike.

To hear how Mosaic partners with people with intellectual

disabilities today - you are invited to an upcoming

“Discover the Possibilities” tours offered regularly in the

Mosaic office at 2120 E. 9th Avenue, Winfield, Kansas.

Upcoming tours are: Tuesday, June 21st at Noon

Thursday, June 23rd at Noon

Tuesday, July 19th at Noon

Thursday, July 21st at Noon

Thursday, August 18th at Noon Thursday, August 18th

at 6:00 p.m.

These tours last approximately 50 minutes and provide com-

munity members the opportunity to learn how Mosaic part-

ners with people with intellectual disabilities to create a

meaningful life in a caring community while giving a voice

to their needs. Lunch to go provided – please contact Nancy

Maier to reserve your seat! (please do this several days be-

fore your chosen tour date.)

ESOL Students Celebrate

ESOL classes at St. Paul’s-Wichita continue through June

30 and will resume

USD 259 school

begins. In May

joyed one of their

periodic potlucks

New President at Bethany Bethany College announced on May 13th that

William Jones will be its 14th president.

In their press release Bethany said that his

passion for higher education and his life’s

journey have guided him throughout his ca-

reer. In his most current role as Vice Presi-

dent for External Relations at LaGrange Col-

lege in LaGrange, Georgia, Jones has led re-

cord fundraising and enrollment growth. His

appeal to Bethany as its next President included more than only

his fundraising background, according to Corey Peterson, new

chair of the Bethany Board of Directors.

“We are excited to have Will, Amy, and their family join the

Bethany and Lindsborg family,” Peterson said. “Will brings a

proven ability to lead, especially in the important areas of fund-

raising and student enrollment. His skills, work ethic, faith,

along with a transparent and servant leadership approach are

exactly what we need as Bethany moves forward.”

Jones and his family enjoy taking an active role in campus life

by attending events and hosting students, faculty and staff to

their home.

“I hope that in addition to wearing the title of President of

Bethany College, I will also earn titles of mentor, colleague,

confidant, counselor and friend,” he said.

Bethany College hosted a picnic on Wednesday, May 18 to

welcome President Jones and his family.

3 Weeks for Filling the Gap! News flash! We're accepting the challenge! There's a crisis for

hungry children with school starting a

week later this year. Partners for

Wichita will extend "Filling the Gap

can care together.

Snack Collection Day is July 15 at Kansas Food Bank, 1919 E. Douglas for “Filling the Gap Lunches for Kids." Here is a “shopping list” for individually wrapped healthy items that don’t need refrigeration.

A

Summer Bible Study The Gather magazine’s summer Bible study, "The Heart of

the Matter," is available free using the

links below! It is a 3 session study, the

author is the Rev. Angela Shannon.

“Repentance, forgiveness and reconcilia-

tion are healing words,” Angela Shannon

writes. “We hear these words spoken

from our pulpits, in our hymns and vari-

ous places throughout our churches. Yet we see conflict in our

society and the ways in which we harm each other. We are

about to enter an election year where the politics are as shrill

and mean as ever.”

Although we look to the church for a safe haven from con-

flict, Shannon says, “life follows us through the doors, and

there too we find conflict.”

“Conflicts are nothing new to the church,” Shannon says.

“What’s miraculous is that God continues to create us anew.

God insists on entrusting us with the ministry of reconcilia-

tion."

She continues: “In working with congregations, I have found

that although people are familiar with the healing words of

Christ’s church, we must continue to learn the practical appli-

cation of these words.”

Session 1: Treasure in clay jars (2 Corinthians 4:7)

Session 2: Seeking God (Jeremiah 29:14)

Session 3: The ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians

5:17-19)

New ELCA Federal Credit Union Opens

The ELCA Federal Credit Union, the new credit union of

the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), cele-

brated its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony

June 6 at its headquarters in The Lutheran Center in Chi-

cago. This is the first credit union chartered by the National

Credit Union Administration to open in Illinois in 10 years.

The institution will serve ELCA members, congregations

and ELCA-related ministries and their employees.

The ELCA credit union supports the ELCA's mission to

promote wise stewardship of members' and congregations'

financial resources, based on the ELCA's social statement

on economic life, "Sufficient, Sustainable Livelihood for

All." The statement, adopted by the 1999 ELCA Church-

wide Assembly, expresses ELCA teaching that economic

activity is a means through which God's will is served for

the thriving and wellbeing of humankind and the care of the

earth.

The ELCA Mission Investment Fund, a financial ministry of

the ELCA, was instrumental in laying the groundwork for

the creation of the ELCA Federal Credit Union and securing

the charter approval by the National Credit Union Admini-

stration. The fund specializes in church building projects.

Besides the credit union and Mission Investment

Fund, the other two ELCA financial ministries are the En-

dowment Fund of the ELCA, a pooled fund made available

through the ELCA Foundation to all ELCA entities; and

Portico Benefits Services, which provides benefits and ser-

vices to enhance the well-being of ELCA rostered leaders

and lay employees.

The ELCA social statement "Sufficient, Sustainable

Livelihood for All" is available here.

God’s Work, Our Hands September 11

“God’s work.

Our hands.” Sun-

day is an opportu-

nity to celebrate

who we are as the

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America – one church,

freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. The sug-

gested date for the 2016 dedicated day of service is Sunday,

Sept. 11. Mark your calendars today! If your congregation

cannot participate on this date, please consider another day.

Service activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one

of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life in

Jesus Christ – every act of service, in every daily calling, in

every corner of life – flows freely from a living, daring con-

fidence in God’s grace. You work every day to make your

community a better place. Let us continue doing this work

together in 2016!
