The Messenger The Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd

Olney, Maryland June 2017

Who Will Serve?

Unfortunately, Isaiah’s, eager and joyous “Here am I, send me!,” isn’t quite as common today as it has been.

Perhaps we can get some helpful suggestions about how to proceed with the task of encouraging people to serve from the book of Acts. You may remember that there was a need to replace Judas after “he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out.” Come to think of it, the church might have better luck recruiting if we felt that would happen to us if we were unwilling to serve!

Anyway, the Book of Acts, Acts 1:20-26 gives us some guidance. It includes the following:

• The disciples knew Judas needed to be replaced. • They needed a person from their group with a history of faithfulness, knowledge and

participation. • This person must become a witness with the others of the resurrection. • They named Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias as “called.” • Then they prayed, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two you have

chosen to take over this apostolic ministry.” • Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven.

Who will serve at Good Shepherd in the 2017-2018 year? I pray all of us will, and that a smaller number will serve as leaders in specific positions that at this critical time in our congregations’ ministry.

Here are some encouragements/suggestions as to how to proceed:

1. Pray for the congregation, its’ ministry and mission needs, and for God-pleasing leadership, as we face the many challenges God puts before us.

2. Take out your Membership Directory and carefully – prayerfully - ask God to help you discern who he might like to serve at Good Shepherd in the 2017- 2018 year, and how he might want them to serve. Be sure to include yourself. You might use the words of Acts - Lord, show me which of these you have chosen to serve at Good Shepherd.

3. Now, pray for the particular individuals God has brought to mind, asking him to direct you to find a way to invite them to serve at Good Shepherd during the 2017-2018 year. At this moment, the congregation is seeking a President- Elect, Financial Secretary Elect, Recording Secretary (to be elected) and several Elders to be appointed.

God will show us who among us is to serve and take over the apostolic ministries needed among us when we cast lots (vote) at the June 25 Voters’ Meeting, and announce those who have agreed to serve as Elders.

In the meantime, continue to pray for our holy work together, for the work of our Call Committee and the available candidates whom God has brought forward for prayerful consideration.

God’s peace, joy and love be yours,

VOTERS’ MEETING

SUNDAY, June 25, 2017

11:15 a.m.

Pentecost Sunday, June 4 WEAR RED

You are encouraged to wear red (representing the color of fire) on Sunday, June 4th to commemorate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles.

Susan Otto will be visiting the children’s home, Hogar Infantil, in July to help them celebrate the 50th anniversary of this wonderful mission in Chiapas, Mexico. In the small town of Ocozocaultla, they shelter, feed, clothe, and educate about 70 children who were living in extreme poverty. While she does bring two extra-large suitcases packed with shoes and clothing (elementary school sizes, great condition only please), the most portable way to support this mission is with a check. Money is needed for clothing, food, tuition in public schools, uniforms, school supplies, house parents, transportation, medical care, the list goes on and on. Checks can be made directly to Hogar Infantil or to LCGS with Hogar on the memo line. Give checks to Susan or put in the offering plate by Sunday, July 9. No money is used for travel expenses. All donations directly benefit the children. Thank you to everyone who already supported this mission at the pancake supper.

Bible Verse to Remember

Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Luther Quote

“As God at first gives faith through the Word, so He thereafter also exercises, increases, confirms, and perfects it through the Word. Therefore the worship of God at its best and the finest keeping of the Sabbath consist in exercising oneself in piety and in dealing with Word and hearing it. On the other hand nothing is more dangerous than a dislike of the Word.”

Summer Schedule

Church start time Beginning June 4 – 10:00 a.m.

There are six openings for each Sunday between June 18 and August 27, and if you wish, you may sign up more than one time. Thank you for your help.

The Elders

Luther Quotes

“Whenever a man reads the Word of God, the Holy Spirit is speaking to him.”

Summer (Sunday Morning) Study Room 104/8:45-9:45 a.m.

Last week a number of us had a conversation in the narthex about what we feared, or what scared us or terrified us. Some of the things offered were snakes, mice, spiders, and I would add, some people. Truth be known some of the things that scare or petrify or put us off are some of the “various manifestations” of sharing our faith.

• Some fear that it will start painful arguments which we would rather avoid.

• Some fear it because we can’t find the words and we don’t want to be ridiculed or feel foolish.

• Some fear we don’t have enough information to speak confidently.

• Some fear that our own lack of confidence will betray us.

• Some fear hurting others feelings or intruding on others privacy.

If sharing your faith is difficult for you this Summer Study is for you and will help you build confidence and learn how to navigate the waters of sharing faith and giving witness ion today’s world. Here we will practice how to build a relationship for sharing our faith. Here we will learn about what words we might use to open the conversation. Here we will have an opportunity to build our confidence for this good work. Here we will learn how to do this while respecting the feelings of others.

You do not need to be present every week and the classes are not sequential but they will help. The classes will continue in my absence. I hope to see you there for the sake of God’s Kingdom and the purpose of sharing his word.

Pastor Dave

For the Month of June

May 28th was the last day the Sunday School classes met before summer vacation begins. Regular Sunday School will begin again on September 10, 2017. The Board of Education is looking for at least one person and likely two to replace those who will no longer be serving. Please consider this as a possible place for you to become active. We will also need one or two teachers for the 1st/2nd grade class. One person can take it over or two can share the teaching responsibilities. Starting the first Sunday in June, our church services will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will continue throughout the summer until the last one on September 3. There will be no Sunday School during the summer but it will start again on Sunday, September 10th following the opening of Montgomery County Schools.

Will You Help?

We are once again sponsoring nearby Rosa Parks Middle School with needed school supplies this year. The Board of Social Ministry asks for your support – new unused items only please. Some suggested

helpful items for students are backpacks, 2” loose-leaf binders, wide-lined notebook paper, #2 pencils, pens, and spiral notebooks. Your past support has helped so many students to get off to a strong start in their studies! Please place any new and unused school supplies in the colorful box in the Narthex.

We know we are all thinking “Summer,” but it’s not too early to think about the upcoming school year – and this can be a great time to take advantage of summer sales on school supplies.

Marianne Compton

Originally from New York I have lived in Montgomery County for the greater part of my adult existence and retired in 2004 after 33 1/2 years as a financial analyst from BAE (formerly Vitro). My present family includes three adult children, Diana, Karl and Paul, all married with five adult grandsons--four in college and a UMBC graduate Drew (age 30 and married). My partner and soulmate John and I have done our share of international and domestic travel through the years including visits to my German relatives living in both north and south Germany (I am first generation American). Actually I felt welcomed the first day I stepped over the threshold of LCGS and realized I would eventually become part of the church family. About five years ago my good friend, Elsie Stevick, encouraged me to help with LCGS events--Christmas Bazaars, yard sales, Oktoberfest, Chase House--and whenever else I was needed. About two years ago I began to attend the 8:15 service regularly. So a short while back, Pastor Dave persuaded me that it was about time to make it official and become a member. I feel blessed to have been accepted and hope to serve for many more years.

Her uncle is a retired Lutheran minister and married she and her husband. Her mother was their church organist and choir director and her father was the church president for many years.

Luther Quotes

“It is most scandalous for us to attempt to defend God’s Word with our reason, whereas we are to defend ourselves against all the enemies with the Word of God, as St. Paul teaches (Eph.6:17). Would he not be a great fool who in battle would seek to protect his helmet and sword with a bare hand or head? But that is the situation when we try, with our reason, to defend God’s Law, which is our weapon.”

Will NOT meet on

Sunday, July 9, 2017

in the Family Life Wing at 6:00 p.m. to discuss

“Ordinary Grace” Written by

William Kent Krueger

Attention all readers, the book club will not meet in June. Our next meeting will be July 9th. Please put that unforgettable date in your IPAD or memory, whichever you think is more reliable. In 1961 the Twins had finally found a home in a state that no one outside of the Midwest knows exactly where it is located geographically (as a matter of fact did you know a tiny piece of Minnesota is completely surrounded by Canada, knowledge you will need just in case you get on Jeopardy). Ordinary Grace is a moving account of a boy standing at the door of his young manhood trying to understand a world that seems to be falling apart around him. It is an unforgettable novel about discovering the terrible price of wisdom and the enduring grace of God. So put on your Norwegian hat and rustle up some rokelaks or brunost and join us for laughter, food and good times. Ann Wolters
