BSLC Mission: To connect family, friends, neighbors

and community with our Beautiful Savior.

BSLC Vision: To become a congregation of committed

disciples growing in faith in God, and known in our

community for our spirit, hospitality, and compassion.

At the August Quarterly Meeting, I asked those in attendance to write down three things

that they felt this congregation should be focused on for the near future. I compiled the

answers and put them on cards that have hung in Werner Hall for the last few weeks

with the invitation to go over and group the cards as you saw them interconnecting with

other cards. The collage of ideas has shifted over time with the cards migrating and

being organized in different ways. It has solidified into a ‘picture’ of what we should

focus on.

The image I see is one of a Tree of Faith: Rooted, Reaching, and Bearing Fruit. We

have planted the tree of faith and it has rooted (Faith Formation). Now is the time to

help it flourish by helping it branch out to the community (Outreach/Service) and bear its

fruit (youth & family). We are rooted in our faith in Jesus Christ, but we must continue

our study and reflection on what that means- discipleship. Nourished in our faith we

reach out, sharing and caring, showing the love of God in Jesus Christ in the world.

Finally, like all living things, this tree knows that it must bear fruit and bring in the next

generation. [There were two other ‘groupings’ that some might see as distinct. One is,

as they are more outcomes than process (bigger church, more members, more money,

etc.). The other is a collection that I see rightly by the collection of faith formation and

outreach. That deals with what we might call invitation

What are we going to do as a congregation to live out our Mission and Vision as we

focus our efforts to Root, Reach, and Bear fruit? How will they all interplay? How will

our Ministry Teams organize themselves and plan to better live out all of this? How will

the Church Council organize to live this out? How will our Mission Plan be affected by

all of this? How will the staff prioritize effort augment the congregation’s future focus?

Lots of questions as we go forward, but we go forward in Faith!

So some possible ways to respond to those questions:

1) Ministry Teams- evaluate what you do and how you do it. Dream, design, and

plan ways of going forward using the Mission, Vision and Focus. Look at your

Mission Planning forms and plan ahead.

CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY CHORUS ~ Begins September 14th

An exciting new offering for the community is coming to Beautiful Savior. Jeremy Knight, our

Director of Music, will be offering a Community Children's Choir program starting in the Fall. It

will be for any child, grades 1st thru 6th. The curriculum will have two semesters, a fall and

spring. Each semester will end with a concert opened to the community. The program will teach

children basic music and singing skills and introduce them to the joys of being in an choir. They

will learn and perform a mixture of secular and sacred music. This is a wonderful opportunity for

not only the children in our church but a great way to engage with and invite children and families

from our community at large! Registration is still available. For more details, or to sign up, please

contact Jeremy Knight (623) 986-7996 or [email protected]

Faith 5 model! There is a workshop offered in Estes Park, Colorado,

October 5-8. It is a cross generation workshop

designed to be a training and resource to do

programming like "Sunday School for All Ages".

Some of you attended last year. Jeremy Knight, our

Faith Formation Coordinator, will be attending this

year and would love to have more volunteers attend

with him. The info for the workshop is at the website

listed below. Please contact Jeremy if this is

something you would like to attend.

Dear BSLC Congregation,

Why did I say yes to running for the

church council? Honestly, who can

say “no” to Don Swanson? Actually,

I have been asked to consider

running several times in the past, but

each time, I either had a valid reason why I couldn’t

or I just flat out thought I didn’t want to be on it.

After all, haven’t we all heard horror stories

regarding council meetings lasting well into the

night, bickering among council members, getting to

see the “underbelly” of the church? Being on

church council has a reputation that precedes it.

When Don asked me to consider running for council

this time, maybe it was the point I was at in my life

that made me ask myself, “Why not?”. I thought

about the people on council already. This is a group

of people who I really enjoy. I thought about our

pastor. I realized that I have so much confidence in

Pastor David’s leadership and ability to guide

discussions in a positive, productive direction. And

I thought about what my schedule looked like. Yes,

I had Monday evenings free, and after all, it was

only one Monday evening a month.

Since joining council in January, I have actually

enjoyed the meetings and the people. I feel that I

am helping the church move forward in a positive,

growing direction, and I like being a part of that.

Please, if someone asks you if you would like to

consider running for council, ask yourself, “Why

not?”, and then take that step forward in a new

direction..

CONGREGATION UPDATE

Pastor’s Note (Continued)

CHURCH COUNCIL

meets Monday

September 14, 2015

at 6:00 p.m. Meetings are

open to all.

2) Potential Council Members- elections are

coming up. Prayerfully consider if there is

something here that you see God calling you

to help lead us toward.

3) Everyone- prayerfully consider how you can

support these efforts. Do you have ideas, con-

nections, resources, etc. that can help us share

the Good News of Jesus Christ in these excit-

ing ways?

4) Realize that there is not ONE WAY of doing

any of these Focus areas. They are wide and

can cover a lot of ground. If you see some-

thing missing, speak up, volunteer, fill the

missing gap, and grow the Ministry!

Let me simply say this in closing. I was blown away

by what I saw handed in. This congregation’s heart is

in the right place. I saw a desire to ground ourselves

in our faith in Jesus Christ and to go out and do some-

thing with it! I look forward with a great deal of confi-

dence (literally- “with faith”) to a future with hope as

we seek to become committed disciples that are con-

necting ourselves and those around us with our Beauti-

ful Savior.

Remember that God loves you and so do I!

Pr. David

hall. Take a look at it. Add your suggestions.

GROW YOUR FAITH

What is Via de Cristo?

VIA de CRISTO is:

· An opportunity to grow in faith and in spirituality

· A deeper understanding of the teachings of Jesus and how we can serve Him.

· An experience of living and sharing with others in a loving and caring Christian community and

realizing that this can be extended into our own environment

· A continuing community that gives support and encouragement empowering the renewed Christians

to persevere in carrying out their Baptismal vows

- This Year’s week-end is Co-ed (both men and women attend the same week-end) and the dates are

Thursday evening Oct. 15th thru Sunday afternoon Oct. 18, 2015. Interested in attending – talk to:

Howard and Suzanne Squires or Pastor David. There is no cost to you but there is an application to

fill out to participate.

The week-end is held at the Tanque Verde Lutheran Church in Tucson.

October 15-18, 2015

Tanque Verde Lutheran Church

ADULT EDUCATION Book of Genesis Bible Study The first several chapters of Genesis are full of stories which we know very well: the Creation, the story of Adam and Eve and their fall, Cain and Abel, Noah and the flood, Babel, and then the great story of Abraham and Sarah. We are going to take a deep look at these stories, and how they impact our lives as followers of Jesus of Nazareth. We will find that the issues of environment, sinfulness, sexuality, worship, and how we inter-act with one another are relevant today. Please join us. The class will be lead by Pr. Richard Mauthe, a new member of Beautiful Savior. Richard is a retired pas-tor and was adjunct faculty of the Lutheran School of Theology at Philadelphia. Two classes offered will be offered beginning Monday, September 21st at 7:00 pm and Wednesday, September 23rd at 10:00 a.m.

What does it mean to be a “committed disciple”? The

word ‘disciple’ actually means a student. In baptism

we become lifelong students of the rabbi, Jesus Christ.

In baptism, parents and sponsors made promises, in

“confirmation” we take them upon ourselves.

However, our learning is not over, not if we are

‘committed disciples.’ Starting September 20th, after

service we will have “Sunday School for ALL Ag-

es.” (More info on the next page.) Following that, we

will have our first get together of our Affirmation of

Baptism class. This class is open to anyone from 7th

Grade on up. (For 7th and 8th Graders this is what

used to be known as “Confirmation”.)

This class is an opportunity to learn, relearn, contem-

plate, and grow in faith. We will look at figures of

faith from the Bible, wrestle with questions of faith,

and learn some tools of the faith. I also invite all to

participate in the memory work and other exercises

meant to work our faith muscles.

For our 7th and 8th Graders, welcome to “Affirmation

of Baptism.” For all others, including the parents, I

invite your attendance as well. So if it has been

awhile since confirmation class for you, or you never

did, or you are simply seeking a way to renew, rein-

force, reform- this is for you.

So I invite you to commit to growth in faith, join us

for Sunday School for ALL Ages as our starter and

then we will break off to continue. We will be fin-

ished by noon.

Contact Pr. David with any questions.

BSLC Vision: To become a congregation of committed disciples growing in faith in God, and

known in our community for our spirit, hospitality, and compassion.

Sunday School for ALL Ages September 20th following service will be our kickoff for our

We will have a time of sharing, learning, prayer, and an

EVENT that will help us learn and grow in different ways.

If you are interested in joining in this exciting adventure and

become a volunteer leader, we will be meeting after church

Attention Thrivent

Members: You have a couple of other ways to give and be supportive

1. Are you dedicating your "Thrivent Choice" money?

2. Do you know you have TWO $250 Thrivent Action Team opportunities every year?

The Simply Giving® Program endorsed by Thrivent Federal Credit Union

Would you find it helpful to have your offerings drawn from your bank account as you do

other monthly drafts? The Simply Giving Program endorsed by Thrivent Federal Credit

Union is for people who wish to have offerings transferred electronically to their church’s

account. You do not have to be a Thrivent member or use their financial products to par-

ticipate.

This is especially helpful for people who travel and want to keep their intended offerings

up-to-date, rather than making up the difference later. Members at Beautiful Savior have

enjoyed using this convenient giving opportunity for years. Contact the church office for

more details.

If you changed your pledge for 2015, please let the office know so that it can be adjusted.

Want an easy way to do your commitment? Offerings can

STEWARDSHIP IS CONTINUOUS

“Legacies are footprints we leave behind after we die. They prove that we were here: we lived, we mattered, we made a difference”. Rachel Freed

What Will Be Your Legacy?

A legacy can come in many forms. It can come from the way you lead your life, the

way you share the word of God, and by the way you share your resources given to you

by God. For those who walk in faith, all three of these ways of leaving a legacy are

important. To learn more about how you can leave a legacy from your resources,

contact our congregation’s Gift Planner.

people. We are looking for those who would serve a shut-in (or two),

and those who would be willing to be ‘on-call’ for hospital visits.
