From Pastor Lauer Imagine the perfect Summer’s evening. Imagine the sun at that perfect place, low in the sky, so that it doesn’t beat down into your face. The birds are singing. The dogs are frolicking in the grass. Or perhaps you’re on that special beach, listening to the water lap up on the shore. In my imagination, the perfect Summer evening includes the smell of steaks on the grill still filling the air though the meal already fills the stomach. A slight breeze keeps away the mosquitoes. And good company is important; with long conversations about old friends and new dreams. Amid the hot and humid dog days of Summer, there are also these moments of Summer’s perfection when the work is finished and there is the chance to relax and enjoy the benefits of the season. These are the times we dreamed of during the dark, cold months of Winter and in the heat and humidity of the dogs days of Summer. Life has its own seasons. In the course of our lives we all have known the “dog days” of life when the heat and heaviness of circumstances saps our strength and weighs us down. We have also known the seasons of life which are cold and dark; when we are alone and searching for direction. But thanks be to God that He has also shown us times of beauty, rest, comfort and renewal. Like an oasis in the dessert, God has given us the cool Summer evenings to remind us of His love and the true and final rest which still awaits us at the end of life’s journey. All of this is an analogy to the rest and renewal which God has given us in the company of His Church. Gathered around our Christian friends, we set aside the worries of the day and rest in the shade of His love. Our Lord Jesus speaks His cool and soothing Word of forgiveness and hope. He feeds our faith at His Table which strengthens us for another week. We talk about old friends and new dreams. It is the evening of life, between work and sleep and a coming new day. Whether your life seems more like the dog-days of Summer or the cold and dark nights of Winter, remember that God has given us this oasis of His love to refresh and renew your spirit. Come gather with your Christian friends in the Lord’s House and take the place He has prepared for you at His banquet. He’s provided everything you need.

From Pastor Matheny

There is no doubt about it, new stuff is fun. It is exciting to travel

to new places, to see new sights, and to learn new things. But while

new things are fun, there is a special comfort to the things that are

familiar to us. There is no place like home, no cookies as good as

mom makes, and no place as good for sleeping as your own bed.

As Christians, church is a familiar place. We feel comfortable in

our building because we have come to it so many different times

for so many different reasons. We feel comfortable with our liturgy

because we have spoken it so frequently. Who could count how

many times we have heard, “If we say we have no sin we deceive

ourselves, and the truth is not in us…” Hymns too are an integral

part of our worship. They are a special part that, because it is set to

music, can sink in more than other parts. Hymns can be so familiar

that they almost become a part of us.

But there is just one problem. We have too many wonderful

hymns! We sing many of them throughout the year and there are

still quite a few that we don’t know, not to mention many favorites

that we don’t get to sing as often as we would like. That is why we

are going to have a few hymn sings this summer! The second and

fourth Sundays in July and August we will begin our service by

singing hymns together. We will begin five minutes before the

service and sing for about ten minutes. We will take requests, so

come prepared with hymns that you are itching to sing! The only

restriction is that you have to pick something that is in the hymnal

so that everyone has the words and music.

So let’s sing together! Let’s raise our voices in the familiar words

of these hymns. Let’s find comfort in the familiarity of the

message that they proclaim to us, that Christ has died, Christ has

risen, and Christ will come again!

From the Stewardship Committee

“I will bless you …, so that you will be a blessing” (Gen. 12:2). The Lord blessed Abraham so that he would be a blessing. How did He bless Abraham? He promised that from His seed would come the savior of the nations. And Abraham believed that promise, trusted that the Lord would provide it just as He had promised. Thus, everything Abraham did was colored by that promise. He willingly gave of himself and his household in service to the Lord in view of that promise.

Our Father in heaven has richly blessed us. Not only has He given us everything that we need to support this body and life, but He has also provided, that promised seed in His Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ. He is the savior of the nations. He is the redeemer of the world. He is the one who has conquered sin, death, and the power of the devil by His death, resurrection, and ascension.

Just as we are richly blessed, we are also thereby freed to be a blessing. Since God has endowed us with His gifts, we are set to endow others. Thus, we give of the blessings we have received so that others may be blessed. We do this in our homes, our communities, and our churches. We press the blessings God has lavished upon us in service to those around us. We use our time, our talents, and our treasures to be a blessing even as they have been a blessing to us.

The Lord blesses us. And He enlists us to be a blessing to others. So, whenever you put that envelope in the collection plate, when you set out to serve at the local food pantry, when you sit down to help your kids with homework, think of this: The Lord has blessed you, so that you will be a blessing.
