On Sunday, April 28, Gethsemane will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The ELCA was formed when former

Lutheran bodies, the American Lutheran Church, the Lutheran Church in America,

and the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches merged to form the largest

Lutheran denomination in America. The constituting convention of the ELCA took

place in Columbus, OH April 30 - May 3, 1987 after several years of discussion and

negotiations. Since Gethsemane was one of the only AELC churches in the area,

many of our members were a vital part of those discussions and the final

convention. The ELCA was officially formed on January 1, 1988. On Sunday, April

28, our own Violet Meek who was a part of the discussions, negotiations, and

assembly will preach and will lead the education hour with input from others who

were involved.

Experience Easter

Through Holy Week and Easter, we go through the

cycle that we go through every year: Jesus eats with

friends, Jesus is arrested and killed, Jesus is dead,

Jesus rises from the tomb. Easter is the culmination of

these days, the exciting conclusion to the story. It’s a

great event. But we know next year, we will do the

story all over again the same way. Back to the

beginning, again and again.

It’s important to know that we share the last week in

Jesus and Easter, not just because they are events that

deserve commemorating like Independence Day or

President’s Day. Holy Week and Easter are what we

experience as human beings in this world.

We live and make relationships, we suffer and feel

pain, and we die. Not just our eventual, final death,

but all the smaller disappointments and endings and

devastations that we experience on the way: the

death of loved ones, the ending of a long time dream,

financial hardships. And then we all actually do die in

the end. All of those things are just realities of life.

Everyone in all sorts of religions can agree on that

observation.

But here’s where Christians have a unique spin on the

whole life thing: we believe that after all those things,

God makes new things happen. We believe that little

deaths (and big deaths) are not the end. Are never the

end. Rebirth, new life, resurrection. We believe in the

miracles that God can do in us and through us even

after death, small and large.

So this Easter season, I hope that you don’t just come

to Easter Sunday Worship to remember an event in

the past. I pray that you experience the promise of

hope and love and forgiveness in your life today and

every day.

Easter Blessings,

Rev. June Wilkins

Gethsemane joins B.R.E.A.D

In the March meeting, our Congregation Council voted

to become a member of B.R.E.A.D., the Columbus area

justice organization. The mission of B.R.E.A.D is “to

draw upon the strength of people of faith to act on

issues of justice and fairness in the Greater Columbus

area.“

Each year, through a process of house meeting, voting

and consensus building B.R.E.A.D agrees on an issue to

research and work towards resolving. For 2013, the

congregations of B.R.E.A.D chose to focus on

discrimination against immigrants in our city.

Our Gethsemane B.R.E.A.D team includes Darlene

Norman, David Norman, Wendy Luedke and Lee Ann

Perrin. The congregation is invited to join in on the

Rally on April 8th at Tifereth Israel Synagogue at

6:30pm. And the Nehemiah Action on May 6th at the

Celeste Center at 6:15. B.R.E.A.D relies on the

attendance of the member churches and the strength

of numbers to influence politicians and leaders to

make good and just decisions. If you have any

questions about any of these events, you can ask one

of our team members.

Bag It

Leader – Joanne Leussing,

Environmental Stewardship Ministry Team

Plastic seems to be indispensable to everyone's life.

But it is made from non-renewable oil, a lot of oil, and

seldom used more than once. The film Bag It focuses

on the downside of plastic in a humorous and com-

pelling manner. It forces us to see that plastic trash is

everywhere: clogging waterways, forming immense

trash piles in the oceans, and killing marine life.

Landfills are overloaded with this stuff that takes years

to break down. Chemicals in plastic appear to be

affecting people's health. Scientists are interviewed as

the film puts the whole picture together. Can we live

without plastic? The main character gives it a good-

natured try. Come to see the film and be a part of our

Earth Day discussion on caring for God's creation.

April 28

On Our Way Rejoicing:

The ELCA Comes to Columbus

Leader – Rev. Violet Meek

How did the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

come into being? Where? Why? Who? What was it

supposed to be? All questions appropriate to a 25th

Anniversary. They are especially appropriate here at

Gethsemane because our congregation was right in

the thick of the action right here in Columbus when

the ELCA Constituting Convention came to town. On

that day, twenty-five years ago, three separate

Lutheran church bodies came together out of the

conviction that we could better serve God’s kingdom

and God’s people together than we could separately.

The road to unity was bumpy and messy. There were

speeches, demonstrations, high drama, and

sometimes the sound of heavenly laughter. Many of

us were there; some of us were actually the planners.

All of us were the pray-ers. Remember the dream as

we plan for the future.

Violet Meek, now a Gethsemane member, was an LCA

representative to the Ohio Transition Team, Chair of

the Southern Ohio Synod Transition Team, and Co-

Chair of the Local Arrangements Committee for the

constituting convention.

Brown Bag Bible Bash Resumes

The group resumes again the Wednesday following

Easter, April 3, at 12:00 noon.

Straying from the usual path for a few weeks the

group will use material primarily from the Lutheran

Study Bible, pages 19-27 and 1521-1552.

The topics are:

Apr. 3 – An Introduction to the Bible – what is it and

what is in it?

Apr. 10 – Martin Luther on the Bible – how he read it

– law and Gospel – is it the word of God? –

understanding and interpreting the scriptures.

Apr. 17 – The Small Catechism, a simple guide for the

Book of Faith, and, Lutheran insights that open the

Bible – five key principles.

Apr. 24 – What should we expect when we read the

Bible?, and, the Bible and God’s Mission – looking at

the Bible from the view of the people in it.

May 1 – We resume our normal study of a book of the

Bible – to be determined by the class.

Come join us is the library, add your insights OR just

soak up the discussion. We enjoy this!!

Tidbits from our children and

youth . . .

The Sunday School kids were able to assemble 66

birthday bags for the children served by the Homeless

Family Foundation in downtown Columbus. Every

child deserves a birthday treat! Thank you for helping

our children be a part of another child’s special day.

Thank you to Kelly Fleming for coordinating this

project.

The children have been exploring the “40 days” stories

of the Bible during Lent - David and Goliath, Noah

(including a visit from “Mrs. Noah”, aka Joyce Geary),

Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness.

Easter morning at 9am, they will ‘unbury’ the

A******* banner that they buried in February.

Wonder what they might find . . .

Our youth, middle and high school, invite the

congregation to join them for breakfast on Easter

Sunday. Food (egg casserole, scalloped apples,

muffins) will be served from 8-9am in the Great Hall.

No cost; donations will help fund youth activities,

including the 2015 National Youth Gathering in

Detroit.

Our confirmands will serve at the LSS Food Pantry on

Saturday April 6. They bring a special ray of hope to

those they serve. The class will also worship with our

Swahili community on Sunday, May 5. Perhaps learn a

few Swahili words??

The Week of the Young Child™ is an annual

celebration sponsored by the National Association for

the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). The

purpose of the Week of the Young Child™ is to focus

public attention on the needs of young children and

their families and to recognize the early childhood

programs and services that meet those needs. Play &

Learn will celebrate this week by doing special things

for the children each day of that week including

having a family lunch, spring concert, and center-wide

pajama party and also giving the children cards, small

gifts, and special surprises.

Playground Work & Renovations

– Can you help us?

We plan to have a playground work day(s) in April.

This year we plan to till the playgrounds, spread new

mulch, remove/replace certain pieces of equipment,

sand and paint the metal climber on the front

playground, remove/replace sand in the sandbox on

the front playground, mend/replace sections of the

fencing, and make other necessary repairs. If you are

able to come and bring your garden tiller, wheel-

barrow, rake, shovel, etc. and help with the renova-

tions, we would surely appreciate it. Thanks so

much!!!!

Campbells Labels - Keep clipping those Campbells

labels/points. They add up and help us to purchase

classroom supplies and equipment.

Prayerful Support - Play and Learn appreciates your

continued prayers for the staff, children, and

families.

Stuff

the

Truck

for LSS!

On Saturday, April 27, Mary Woodward of Lutheran

Social Services will be at Gethsemane to help us, other

congregations, and our neighborhood to “Stuff the

Truck”! We will be “Stuffing the Truck” with all sorts

of items to help Lutheran Social Services help those

people that are suffering from disasters like torna-

does, fires, and floods. She will be accepting furniture,

collectables, baby and children’s items, large and

small appliances, knick knacks, working electronics,

towels, bedding … just about any household item that

is in clean and working condition (no clothing, grown-

up books or used mattresses or box springs please.)

We need lots of Gethsemane volunteers for this

event: people to move heavy items, move light items,

people to direct visitors, give out receipts, distribute

information about Gethsemane, and also help with

lunch and water for volunteers. We need the whole

congregation in other words! Sign up in the narthex to

help. This project is funded by West Franklin County

Chapter of Thrivent Financial.

Gethsemane's Quilting Project

Receives Thrivent Funding

We are excited to learn that once again our Lutheran

World Relief quilting project has received $1600 from

the West Franklin County Chapter of Thrivent

Financial. This grant allows us to purchase the fabric

for quilt backs as well as the batting and thread. The

quilt tops are mostly made from donated fabrics but

are supplemented with purchased fabric if needed.

The funding gives us the opportunity to create as

many quilts as we can to serve others in need around

the world. What a wonderful way to use our talents

and time! Thank you Thrivent!

Some interesting facts about LWR quilts -- 412,710

quilts were shipped to parts around the world in 2012.

23 countries were served with quilt shipments.

Tanzania received 80,685 of those quilts, more than

any other country.

FROM THE LWR QUILT WEBSITE -

Why Quilts? Why Now? LWR Mission Quilts are

valuable tools in Lutheran World Relief’s work to end

poverty, injustice and human suffering. Making LWR

Mission Quilts provides an opportunity for Lutherans

in the U.S. to answer God’s call to love and serve our

neighbors in need. To those that receive them, they are

a tangible symbol of God’s love and compassion. And

to our partners, they provide an opportunity to reach

out to communities with important information and

services. For those and many more reasons, LWR

Mission Quilts are our most requested items. LWR

strives to provide as many Quilts as possible to our

partners but our supply is limited. That’s why in 2013,

we’re challenging Lutherans to come together to send

500,000 LWR Mission Quilts — an increase of

approximately 25 percent or 100,000 Quilts over

previous years — around the world to people in need

through the 2013 LWR Quilt Campaign.

HELP US DO WHAT WE CAN AT GETHSEMANE . . . sew

a top (rolls of squares can be found on the Sign-Up

Desk with directions attached), come to a workday

and knot, purchase colorful fabric, pray for our quilt

recipients (and our quilters)

Violet said she is happily "returning home" to her Gethsemane family and to

again be sharing membership in the same church with husband Don Dell. She

retired as Dean at OSU - Lima campus, but "failed retirement" and was ordained by the ELCA on 9/11/2005. She

served a total of ten years as pastor at Emanuel Lutheran in the Lancaster area and is now trying retirement

again! Violet has lived in the Chicago area and in Milwaukee where she attended the same school Jeff Luedke

later attended and went to the same church as Wendy. She has a daughter working on Broadway in New York City

and a son working as a metalsmith in San Jose. Both are artists with MFA degrees. She and Don share Don's seven

grandchildren ages 3-18. They also are co-chairs of the Trinity Lutheran Seminary Foundation. Violet is a former

chair of the Seminary Board of Directors and is working on the 25th anniversary celebration of the ELCA scheduled

for April 28. She is also a member of the Board of Directors, Deaconess Community and sings in the Seminary's

community choir.

location, its smaller size and friendly, welcoming atmosphere. A former

Methodist, Donna is new to Lutheranism and is happy being here. She is

originally from Lancaster and has a sister in Powell and a brother in Logan. She retired after working in the claims

area in auto insurance. Now she provides pet therapy, not with a dog, but with her cat at a nursing home. Donna

California. Another daughter, Kathryn, lives in Texas and Carole has a grandson named Anthony. Carole worked in

medical billing for 20 years. She likes to read - especially mysteries and historical novels. The History channel on

TV brings many good programs including those on archeology. Perhaps her embroidery will fill the time as she

heals from recent foot surgery required in preparation for her second knee replacement probably this summer.

She admitted to being a good cook when I asked for her recipe for the wonderful soup she brought to a recent

Celia and Scott Conlon are long time residents of the area but are new

members because they came to church with her mother Kathleen Vergamini, herself a relatively new member,

and were so pleased with the support and sympathy from Gethsemane's pastor and members at the death of her

father the end of 2012. Both Celia and Scott are graduates of Thomas Worthington High School as are sons

John who is nineteen and a freshman at OSU studying economics and 22-year-old Ryan, an OSU senior studying

Public Policy. Ryan and John also went to Colonial Hills Elementary and Kilbourne Middle School. The family

moved from a Rush Creek house to another house in Rush Creek - they are now in the "round house" for those

who know the area. Scott is an architect working for the OSU Facilities Planning Department. Celia works in

downtown Columbus for U.S. Bank in commercial lending making decisions whether or not to approve loans. Both

Scott and Celia like to read (historical fiction, biographies among others), hang out with their family, and travel,

especially being outdoors and hiking. They are heading off to hike and relax in the Smoky Mountains in North

is a native of Chicago who joined in the early 1980s with his wife and daughter, who have both since passed away.

Though Don is retired from jobs in sales and not-for-profit fundraising, he has used his sales and caring skills as a

volunteer at Home Reach Hospice the past nine years as well as ten years as a volunteer with Lifeline of Ohio

promoting organ and tissue donation and speaking at many Health Fairs during the year. He says his involvement

is the result of daughter Erica's lung transplant and her caring and volunteering spirit. She has friends who are still

volunteering in her memory at the nursing home she and her mom volunteered/worked in many years ago.

money but she likes living here.
