As I write this, I sit with a view to our backyard. It is a cool but sunny morning, warm enough to have the door open to the breeze. The house is quiet. I can hear the birds sing-ing. I love this time of day on a spring morning. My body feels alive and my spirit is eager.

And this indeed is the season of the Spirit. The many days of Easter celebration have invited us to watch the disciples’ transformation from fear to boldness. Those people whom Jesus sent out as witnesses have discovered on the way that resurrection life repeatedly reaches out across their perceived bounda-ries. Their community has changed daily as new (and sometimes very different) people were added. The Spirit keeps moving in the world, embracing the whole world in the life of God. Peter and the other apostles can hardly keep up.

As we arrive at Pentecost, the day of the Spirit’s outpouring (and the time of the Spirit that follows throughout the summer and fall) it becomes our turn to pursue the Spirit of the risen Christ alive in our own world. Against fear and

despair, we are called to point out the signs of that life wherever we see it.

The FaithWorks partner congrega-tions (St. Andrew, Our Savior’s, Em-maus/Emmaus, Atonement, and Lutheran Church of the Redeemer) will gather together for a shared, outdoor Pentecost celebration at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 27 at Our Savior’s. It will be a public wit-ness to our shared fellowship and our commitment to give witness to-gether to God’s life at work in our city. This is a time of new adven-ture. It invites ongoing conversion in us – from fear to joy, from de-spair to hope, from paralysis to ac-tion. The promise of our faith story is that the Spirit is already moving out ahead of us. Our challenge is to keep up.

When you have time to reflect (in the quiet of a spring morning, per-haps), what do you see taking shape? Where do you recognize the Spirit at work? And how are you be-ing called to follow and give your witness?

St. Andrew Community News & Events

Page 3 June

Two young people at St. Andrew will celebrate the Affirmation of Baptism as they are confirmed by the church during our regular worship service on Sunday, June 3, 2012. These two young people are Kevin Blunt, Jr. and Rachel Mueller. Please remember them in your prayers that the Holy Spirit would be stirred in them and con-firm their faith.

The three years of confirmation in-struction are intended to give train-ing for an entire life marked by the

promise of baptism. Confirmation Day is not the end of anything, but a milestone along the way. It marks

progress in learning and growing. By living and worshiping together, serving and playing, Ra-chel and Kevin have ex-perienced something of the hope that is in them because of their bap-tism into Christ. From this point, the learning

will continue and go deeper as they say “yes!” to the way of Christ and allow their hearts to be shaped more and more by his courage and compassion.

We will hold a special congregation meeting after worship on Sunday, June 10 for the purpose of evalu-ating the three-month trial period during which Pastor Michael has or-ganized St. Andrew members to lead weekend worship services once a month.

The goal has been to give relief from worship leadership responsi-

bilities one weekend a month, in order to focus more time and en-ergy on outreach and leadership development.

We will discuss together how this has worked.

Paper In The Dumpster

St. Andrew has a dumpster for your office-quality paper. Office-quality paper includes all your discarded computer paper, all your junk mail (windows in the envelopes are okay), children’s old school papers, business papers. Shred or tear up anything with personal information--

bank accounts, social secu-rity numbers,

health re-cords, etc.

Neither Racine nor Caledonia re-cycles of-

fice-quality pa-per at the curb,

so this is a super- easy way to keep it

out of the landfill. Throw your paper into a bin or bag; when it is full, toss it into the trunk of your car and bring it with you when you come to

church. Drive around to the back of the church and empty it into the dumpster marked “Recycle.” That’s it.

Approximately 1 billion trees worth of paper are thrown away every year in the U.S. In addition to saving trees, recycling paper saves 40% in energy costs compared to the cost of making paper from virgin wood; so we are also cutting down on our use of fossil fuels by recycling. And for every ton of new paper that is produced, an addi-tional 60 pounds of pol-lutants are released into the atmosphere. A little bit of effort makes a big difference!

You don’t need to bring other types of paper, like newspaper or card-board. You can put those out at your curb.

Mt. Pleasant Lutheran Church is offering a two-week summer Spanish camp for K-5 kids to learn Spanish.

We will be doing some maintenance to our parking lot next week, so the lot will be off limits and closed for use on Monday, June 11 and Tuesday, June 12. The lot will reopen on Wednesday, June 13. The area will be taped off. Please stay clear of the area until the tape has come down. If rescheduling occurs due to the weather increments, June 18 and 19 will apply in-stead.

With the completion of the parking lot maintenance, there will be mandatory fire lanes put in place adja-cent to the building in the north parking lot. Parking will be prohibited in the fire lanes. Please park only in regularly marked parking spaces.

We are in need of willing volunteers to manage all the custodial duties throughout the summer months. If you wish to help out, just stop by between 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.; or, if you have a key, you can stop by when it suites you best.

There is a check off list on the inside of the custodial closet to refer to that gets updated every month. Refer to this and date/initial what you have attended to, so others will know what has been taken care of. Thank you for your faithfulness to this selfless ministry!

St. Andrew members prepare and serve meals at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church the first Thursday of every other month. Thursday, June 7 is the next date for St. Andrew. Our goal is to have eight each of tater-tot casseroles, jello and cakes. The sign-up sheet, recipes and pans are available at the Information station in the Narthex. Pans with lids are available in the cup-

board beneath. The recipes are simple and you

need only sign up for one.

Tater-tot-casserole=ground beef, onion, green beans, mushroom soup, taters

Jello = Jello and canned fruit

Cake = cake (mix) and frosting (can)

Bring your prepared dish to St. Andrew on the 7th at 4:30 p.m. (at the Fellowship Hall entrance) – casse-roles should be fully cooked and piping hot. Thank you to so many who participate!

A handyperson who is willing to remove wallpaper. The wallpaper border in the Eve bathroom and the Nursery needs to come down. If you cannot help with this project, BUT know someone who can (for minimal charge), please have them leave a name and number in the office, or contact Pam Robers at 681-6213.

Farmer’s Market Update

Thank you to everyone that has made donations for the Community Garden and/or the Farmer’s Market.

The Farmer’s Market Office has been getting quite full. So, to help keep things organized, we have an outside location now as well for spe-cific donations.

When specifically donating used flower pots and garden acces-sories, please drop them off at our new “Outdoor Garden Drop Off.” It is located next to the garage on the west side of the building. Look for the sign near the white picket fence.

This will help to keep things organ-ized as the garden tasks move faster into the growing season.

DONATION CLIPBOARD

Anyone that has already or will be donating something to the Farmer’s Market and/or the Community Gar-den, please print your name and what you donated on the clipboard in the Farmer’s Market Office.

I need documentation record of all the dona-tions. Thank you.

Garden Donation Update

Today, May 24th , we celebrated our second Farmer’s Market for 2012. We have four new vendors who sell upscale food items ,home gardening items, soaps, and baked specialties. St Andrew has added perennials, plant novelties, cactus, apples, and of course our famous baked goods made by our famous bakers.

Come see our new check out area, formerly a cattle feeder. Lime-green is our signature color for the market. Although some church mem-bers feel it’s a bit too bright, we have experienced many compliments from the visitors who say, “It really pops out as you drive by.” That's just what we wanted here because visitors buy at the market.

Our goal this year is to increase our 10% tithe to the North side Food Pan-try. This year, we plan to contribute 15% of our sales profits to the pantry. Last season’s gift amounted was $1000.00.

Secondly, last year we were able to provide St Andrew with Gas installa-tion for our new gas stove for the kitchen as well as kitchen serving acces-sories.

This year, our goal will be to help with the renovation of the old church and Fellowship Hall with air conditioning for the entire hall.

To provide for the increased proposal for gifts to St Andrew, we have added 5 new soups to our menu. The tried and tested favorites are still Stuffed Green Pepper, and Split Pea and Ham.

A vendor is giving us asparagus and we are providing him with some Cream of Asparagus soup as a thank you.

Other acts of kindness include a neighbor who provides the use of his tiller and gas.

Yet another neighbor provides design and carpentry for our tables for our selling space.

Caledonia provides us with free mulch that we use on the paths of the garden. This controls weed and saves on watering.

A Lutheran Pastor and his wife have provided a complete bee hive complete with 10,000.00 bees to provide pollination and honey for the market. The first effort failed and a second swarm and new queen have been donated and seem to be doing well.

A Walden school sophomore is donating an hour per week for garden help.

In the past, the city of Racine has provided us with workers paid for by the government for the summer season. This program has been stopped this year. So, we are on our own to find workers for pay to help us. Halo’s program provided us with a worker named Steve who we have hired to help with the garden. The Farmer’s Market pays for his pay. Steve has worked for the past three weeks and has turned out to be quite the farmer. We will keep him as long as we have the Farmer’s Markets funds. We helped him get his drivers license. He will also be painting exteriors for some of our members.

Thank you to all of you who have generously helped with our market thus far.

I have made fun of Lutherans for years - who wouldn't, if you lived in Minnesota? But I

have also sung with Lutherans, and that is one of the main joys of life, along with hot baths and fresh sweet corn.

We make fun of Lutherans for their blandness, their excessive calm, their fear of giving

offense, their lack of speed and also for their secret fondness for macaroni and cheese. But

nobody sings like they do.

If you ask an audience in New York City, a relatively Lutheranless place, to sing along on the chorus of 'Michael Row the Boat Ashore', they will look daggers at you as if you had

asked them to strip to their underwear. But if you do this among Lutherans they'll smile and row that boat ashore and up on the beach! And down the road!

Lutherans are bred from childhood to sing in four-part harmony. It's a talent that comes from sitting on the lap of someone singing alto or tenor or bass and hearing the harmonic

intervals by putting your little head against that person's rib cage. It's natural for Lutherans to sing in harmony. We're too modest to be soloists, too worldly to sing in unison. When

you're singing in the key of C and you slide into the A7th and D7th chords, all two hundred

of you, it's an emotionally fulfilling moment.

The church of today needs and rec-ognizes strong, knowledgeable lead-ership among the laity. Diakonia pro-vides systematic training to adults during a two-year program of weekly classes in the Bible, theology, and church history as well as practical ministry. This course of study, com-bined with spiritual retreats and

group interaction, helps train people for the many diverse tasks and op-portunities to which Christ's Great Commission directs them. For further information, please contact Diane Roznowski at (414) 258-8893, go to www.thediakoniaprogram.org, or speak to your pastor!

I once sang the bass line of Children of the Heavenly Father in a room with about three thousand Lutherans in it; and

when we finished, we all had tears in our eyes, partly from the promise that God will not forsake us, partly from the proximity of all those lovely voices. By our joining in harmony, we somehow promise that we will not forsake each

other. I do believe this: These Lutherans are the sort of people you could call up when you're in deep distress. If you're dying, they'll comfort you. If you're lonely, they'll talk to you. And if you're hungry, they'll give you tuna salad!

The following list was compiled by a 20th century Lutheran who, observing other Lutherans, wrote down exactly what he saw or heard:

1. Lutherans believe in prayer, but would practically die if asked to pray out loud.

2. Lutherans like to sing, except when confronted with a new hymn or a hymn with more than four stanzas.

3. Lutherans believe their pastors will visit them in the hospital, even if they don't notify them that they are there.

4. Lutherans usually follow the official liturgy and will feel it is their way of suffering for their sins.

5. Lutherans believe in miracles and even expect miracles, especially during their stewardship visitation programs or when passing the plate.

6. Lutherans feel that applauding for their children's choirs would make the kids too proud and conceited. (my mother)

7. Lutherans think that the Bible forbids them from crossing the aisle while passing the peace.

8. Lutherans drink coffee as if it were the Third Sacrament.

9. Some Lutherans still believe that an ELCA bride and an LC-MS groom make for a mixed marriage. (For those of

you who are not Lutherans, ELCA is Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and LC-MS is Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, two different divisions of the same Protestant religion. And when and where I grew up in Minnesota,

intermarriage between the two was about as popular as Lutherans and Catholics marrying.)

10. Lutherans feel guilty for not staying to clean up after their own wedding reception in the Fellowship Hall.

11. Lutherans are willing to pay up to one dollar for a meal at church.

12. Lutherans think that Garrison Keillor stories are totally factual.

13. Lutherans still serve Jell-O in the proper liturgical color of the season and think that peas in a tuna noodle casse-

role add a little too much color.

14. Lutherans believe that it is OK to poke fun at themselves and never take themselves too seriously.

And finally, you know you're a Lutheran when:

*It's 100 degrees, with 90% humidity, and you still have coffee after the service;

*You hear something really funny during the sermon and smile as loudly as you can;

*Donuts are a line item in the church budget, just like coffee;

*The communion cabinet is open to all, but the coffee cabinet is locked up tight;

*When you watch a 'Star Wars' movie and they say, 'May the Force be with you', you respond, 'and also with you';

*And, lastly, it takes 15 minutes to say, 'Good-bye'.

May you wake each day with His blessings,

Sleep each night in His keeping,

And always walk in His tender care.

Those In Our Prayers

On June 25, 1954, Lincoln Lutheran of Racine was founded which consisted of deaconesses and pastors from 16 partner congregations. Lincoln Lutheran would not be what it is today without the partner congregations. Thanks to your congrega-tion, Lincoln Lutheran has been provided with volunteers, auxiliary representatives, board members, prayer and support.

For that, we thank you.
