Inside this issue:

October 2018 Volume 17, Issue 10

is a monthly publication of St. Paul Lutheran Church

Like a Child The subject is: “tempo is not the

same as rhythm”! The class is Men’s

Chorus, many of whom are excelling

athletes. The members of Men’s Chorus

approach this creative thought as it is

presented. There is no filtering accord-

ing to intention,

logic, or proba-

bility! “Truly I

tell you, whoev-

er does not re-

ceive the king-

dom of God as a

child will never

enter it.” (Mark

10:15)

These young

men know trust

is faster and

more efficient

than doubt! As

the experience

immerses, the

resulting

rhythms are not

yet completely

correct, but joy-

fully boisterous.

As new paths of

understanding

are expertly presented, one quarterback

takes a leadership role and coaches the

team with football motivation, “Lock it

in clams!” Attempts continue with gus-

to, though still only speculation, a

sketch without a complete canvas. Each

practiced example adds a spark of illu-

mination. Jesus’ words “And he took

them up in his arms, laid his hands on

them, and blessed them” (Mark 10:15),

become a living picture of fearless joy

accepting knowledge and growth.

Our faith journey is often intention-

al, logical and

carefully

planned. Proba-

bility formulas

feel comforta-

ble, but Jesus

used the exam-

ple of young

trust. The very

trust that allows

for mistakes,

learns, listens

and empathizes

better than any

programmed

robotic journey.

Allowing spir-

itual concepts to

initially infil-

trate our

thought process

without sifting

through precon-

ceived

knowledge, paints more vibrant pic-

tures of grace until the day we die!

Council Update

Dear friends in Christ,

“God’s Work: Our Hands” was cel-

ebrated on the weekend of September 9

by ELCA congregations throughout the

United States. Thirty-three members of

St. Paul participated in a number of

work parties in the Fullerton communi-

ty. The work parties included food dis-

tribution and facility maintenance at

Pathways of Hope Distribution Center,

feeding the homeless at First Lutheran

Church and maintenance of the St. Paul

campus. By expanding the events to

include both Saturday and Sunday, we

were able to increase overall participa-

tion. With these activities, our congre-

gation supported its mission statement

“Striving to mirror Christ in word and

action by reaching out to serve others.”

I want to personally thank everyone

who participated.

Pastor Billʹs last Sunday at St. Paul

was September 23. I’m working with

the Synod office to have a bridge pastor

in place for the services on October 7,

and lasting until we call a new lead

pastor. More information about the sta-

tus of the call process will be provided

during congregational update meetings

between services on September 30.

Your patience and understanding is

appreciated during this period of

change for the congregation. Please join

me in prayer for a successful outcome

to the call process.

Your friend in Christ,

Tom Pankow

Updates from our Interim Lead Pastor Grace and peace to you from our

crucified, risen, and living Lord and Sav-

ior Jesus Christ.

When you read this article, my inter-

im ministry at St. Paul Lutheran Church

has come to its end and I have packed

my suitcase and exited, on my way to

the next interim ministry.

Appreciations

This is an opportune time to express

my thanksgiving to you all and especial-

ly to God. I thank you for the opportuni-

ty to serve as the interim pastor at St.

Paul Lutheran Church during this time

of change and transition to prepare for

calling this congregation’s next settled

lead pastor. I enjoyed my ministry with

you. I appreciated your affirmations,

hospitality, and patience. Through my

experiences here, I have been blessed

with new insights, learnings, and wis-

dom.

I thank the congregation council for

their leadership and for their willingness

to contract with me to be this congrega-

tion’s interim pastor. I am also grateful

for Pearl Mann and Tom Pankow for

their service as congregation president

during this transition. Leadership during

a transition is time consuming and de-

manding.

Thank you to Karen Allen, Melanie

Bakken, Jack Bedell, Ryan Kuester, Jo-

anne Larson, George Montgomery, Kath-

leen Preston, and Tom Pankow for their

service on the Transition Team. This

team worked diligently to guide and as-

sist this congregation to discern, deter-

mine, and decide future directions for its

mission and ministries. Developing pro-

cesses, listening to St. Paul folks, discern-

ing God’s movement in these processes,

and making sense of all the data is al-

ways a challenge. By the grace of God,

this team rose to the challenge and com-

pleted the Ministry Site Profile (MSP) for

the call process. Also, I recommend that

you use this MSP for planning the new

settled pastor’s first year at St. Paul Lu-

theran Church.

I also want to express my apprecia-

tion to the call committee, composed of

Melanie Bakken, Suzie Beining, Dana

Cabell, Kevin Holden, Sara Jimenez,

Ryan Kuester, and Caitlin Peters; for

their hard work, discernment, and dili-

gence in navigating their way through

this call process so far. I am confident in

their abilities and gifts to discern, decide,

and recommend a pastor who will serve

well as the settled lead pastor of this con-

gregation.

I thank the staff of St. Paul Lutheran

Church for their dedication, faith, hard

work, partnership in ministry, and ser-

vice, which made my ministry possible.

Thank you Chris Winn, Lori Seargeant,

and Pastor Stephanie Lape.

And I thank God for you and for

making this interim ministry possible.

Advice

As an interim pastor, I have the priv-

ilege of offering advice. I offer these

words of advice as you look forward to

welcoming the next called settled lead

pastor.

be intentional in developing your

relationship with the new pastor and

introduce this pastor to your family

and friends

share and make known your expec-

tations of a pastor with the new pas-

tor

SEE PASTOR BILL (Continued on page 5)

Journeys

communicate, communicate, com-

municate

listen, listen, listen

converse with the next pastor when

he/she does something wrong or

you disagree with her/him (An aside:

how do you expect a pastor to make ad-

justments and changes if you do not

offer your critique?)

remember that the new pastor does

not read minds, so tell her/him what

is happening with you or what is on

your mind

offer affirmation when the new pas-

tor does something well

pray for the new pastor

remember that the pastor is human,

a fellow beloved child of God, and

not perfect

“To err is human, to forgive, di-

vine.” (Alexander Pope)

remember Jesus’ admonition, “In

everything do to others as you

would have them do to you; for this

is the law and the proph-

ets.” (Matthew 7:12)

Remember, as you gather together

and see each other, you are Christ for

each other. You can also be Christ for

your pastor. Martin Luther reminds us

that each of us can be a “little Christ”

for another person. And together, you

are the body of Christ for the people

you meet, for your neighbors, and for

the neighborhoods around you.

Recall these words from St. Teresa

of Avila:

Christ has

No body now on earth but yours;

No hands but yours;

No feet but yours;

Yours are the eyes

Through which is to look out

Christʹs compassion to the world;

Yours are the feet

With which he is to go about

Doing good;

Yours are the hands

With which he is bless now.

My final word of advice is that

when the going gets tough, which will

happen, I offer you my favorite Bible

verse for these moments, 2 Corinthians

4:1-12.

Next Stop

I continue to trust God and I go

where the Spirit blows. And on the

wind of the Spirit, I am on my way to

Peace Lutheran Church, 828 West Main

Street, Grass Valley, CA 95945,

530.273.9631. My start date is October 1,

2018.

Concluding Comments

Paul wrote, “I can do all things

through him who strengthens

me.” (Philippians 4:13 nrsv)

Every interim ministry comes to an

end, which is in the nature of congrega-

tional transitions. I am moving on to

another congregation in transition to

begin again intentional interim ministry

work.

Intentional interim ministry is my

call at this time. The adventure with Je-

sus continues. Jesus is the solid rock on

which I stand in the midst of transition

and change.

During this time of interviews, pray

for God’s guidance, support, and dis-

cernment for the call committee and for

pastoral candidates being considered

Hi everyone! It’s flu season and you

guessed it! Time for flu vaccines. We

will be receiving Flucelvax, a quadriva-

lent flu vaccine from Hoag Health Min-

istries as part of our partnership with

them. We provide the vaccine to per-

sons 9 years and above. Immunizations

will occur on October 13 and 14

from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. As usual, we

will have excellent RN’s to give

vaccines.

Here are the latest updates

from CDC (Center for Disease

Control)

Populations at Higher Risk for

Medical Complications Attributa-

ble to Severe Influenza

All persons aged ≥6 months

without contraindications should

be vaccinated annually. However,

vaccination to prevent influenza is

particularly important for persons who

are at increased risk for severe compli-

cations from influenza and for influenza

-related outpatient, emergency depart-

ment, or hospital visits. When vaccine

supply is limited, vaccination efforts

should focus on delivering vaccination

to persons at higher risk for medical

complications attributable to severe in-

fluenza who do not have contraindica-

tions. These persons include (no hierar-

chy is implied by order of listing):

All children aged 6 through 59

months;

All persons aged ≥50 years;

Adults and children who have

chronic pulmonary (including asth-

ma) or cardiovascular (excluding

Stephen Ministry is the one-to-one

lay caring ministry that takes place in

congregations that use the Stephen

Series system. Stephen Ministry con-

gregations equip and empower lay

caregivers—called Stephen Minis-

ters—to provide high-quality, confi-

dential, Christ-centered care to people

who are hurting. We have been a Ste-

phen Ministry congregation since

2010.

Stephen Ministry meets on the

First and Third Monday each month.

Please contact Sarah Tees 562-665-9214

if you wish to attend.

Stephen Ministry will soon begin

training new Ministers. Stephen Min-

istry benefits many others besides

those who receive the care of their Ste-

phen Ministers. The Stephen Ministers

grow greatly as they learn about help-

ing others—and they learn about

themselves. As the hurting members

of our congregation grow stronger

through this caring ministry, the

whole church is built up and made

stronger. And, of course, we all can

have the knowledge that when the

pains of life come our way, someone

will always be there, ready to care for

us, to bring God’s love to us in a spe-

cial, personal way. Perhaps God is

calling you to be one of these caring,

committed servants who offer Christ’s

love to those who are hurting. Please

e This Month’s Minister: Sharon

Huemoller, Stephen Minister since

2014, just completed serving a third

caring relationship. She is married to

Steve Huemoller and they have 3 chil-

dren and 8 grandchildren. They have

been members of St. Paul for 25 years.

When I first heard of Stephen

Ministry – While living in Florida in

the late 1980’s, the Lutheran church we

were attending decided to offer a Ste-

phen Ministry and this was my intro-

duction to this newly developed pro-

gram. .

I knew I wanted to be a Stephen

Minister when – I felt it was some-

thing I wanted to do when I first

learned of this ministry 30 years ago. I

listened to God’s calling, prayed about

it and enrolled. Unfortunately, half

way through my training, my husband

was offered a job transfer and we

moved to Venezuela. Obviously, I

was thrilled when St. Paul offered the

program and I could complete my goal

of becoming a Stephen Minister.

The qualities that make a good

Stephen Minister are – Possessing a

compassionate, listening ear; a willing-

ness to faithfully walk alongside those

that are experiencing a difficulty in

their life; and providing an assurance

of confidentiality, constitutes a good

Stephen Minister.

One of the ways Stephen Ministry

has strengthened my faith is – Know-

ing that God’s love is working through

for the call of being the next settled lead

pastor at St. Paul Lutheran Church.

If you have questions or want to con-

verse about what I have written in this

column, you are welcome to contact me.

God’s guidance, support, and wisdom

be with us all as we prepare for and live

into the endings, the beginnings, and

God’s new creation among us.

me is not only a gratifying and hum-

bling experience, but also a means of

strengthening my own faith and trust in

God. Prayer is a powerful tool, not only

in a Stephen Ministry relationship, but

also for my personal life. The closeness

to God has been truly magnified for me

because of Stephen Ministry.

What I wish people understood

about Stephen Ministry –We offer a

non-judgmental approach that is caring,

confidential and Christ-centered. We as

Stephen Ministers are just as blessed, if

not more so, than, hopefully, our care

receivers who are experiencing the rela-

tionship. We cannot cure, but we can

care!

Stephen Ministry is so special for

our congregation because – Stephen

Ministry provides an avenue for those

suffering in any way (grief, job loss, de-

pression, divorce, illness, loneliness,

etc.) to have a confidential, trustworthy

companion share their pain.

If I were to share one thing about

my caring journey it would be –

Listen, listen God is calling,

Answering call with listening ear,

Listening with compassionate heart,

Heart-filled concern becoming a friend-

ship,

Friendships developing with confidenti-

ality and trust,

Trusting God’s guidance on our Chris-

tian caregiving journey.
