Pastor’s Page:

community come and learn about God’s promises as they heard the story of Daniel. They had a blast! I felt so fancy all gussied up in all my decorations. It isn’t every day I get to dress up as Babylon! You really field a wonderful team of volunteers. I saw all the work that went into VBS long before you opened my doors to the community, and was really impressed. They worked so hard. Nicely done. And don’t worry about the pounding I took as all those kids trounced upon the carpet and bounced off my walls. There’s nothing a church building like me loves more than to be filled with children. If I get a few bumps and bruises along the way, so be it.

If These Walls Could Talk…

While our pastors are taking some time off this summer, we are featuring a guest column written by our church building.

H

i there! This is your church building. How can a church building write a newsletter article? Don’t think about it too much. Just go with it.

I’ve seen some other neat things recently, too. For instance, I saw a woman come back to church after a terrible situation kept her away from worship services for a while. It brought a tear to my gutters to see how lovingly she was welcomed back. Very moving. Well done.

So – I thought I was supposed to get a bit of a rest during the summer? Some peace and quiet? I guess I should know better by now.

Often the summers are as hard on me as Christmas or Easter, and this summer has been no exception! While my preschool section has been quiet for a few weeks now, the rest of my rooms have been humming with activity. I’m not complaining, mind you. I like being used. That is why I was built, right?

To be sure, I see some unpleasant stuff from time to time within my walls. I’ve seen bickering children and grumpy adults and worse.

We buildings see it all, to be honest. This is why most buildings are Lutheran in our beliefs regardless of the signs humans put out front – our observation of humanity makes us proponents of a strong doctrine of original sin. On the other hand, we see a lot of grace too. I’ve sure seen a lot of it at OHLC.

I know you enjoy looking out my big picture windows in the sanctuary at all the undeveloped lumber (I guess you call them “trees”), but I enjoy taking in the view the other direction. We buildings take great pride in what occurs within our walls, you see. It has been loads of fun watching what has been going on this summer here at OHLC.

I overheard a Bible study a few weeks ago on 1 Peter in which the Apostle Peter describes Jesus as both a capstone and a cornerstone. I really appreciated the architectural imagery, as you can imagine. It is obvious to me that Jesus is indeed the capstone of this congregation. He is the One that makes everything hold up around here. Jesus is also the cornerstone, the One on which this building, and this community, is built. It is an honor to house a people of such vibrant faith, bustling as you are with what sometimes looks like holy chaos.

First, how about those Japanese students? What a lively bunch!

It was fun to hear a language other than English for a change, though teenage giggling really sounds pretty much the same in every language.

You are kind to open me up to that fantastic program. I enjoyed providing them a space to meet for their classes as exchange students in the United States. They left a nice gift for your pastor, too. You’ll have to check it out on his desk.

In closing, I’d like to remind you that my roof over the education wing will need to be replaced in the next couple of years, so you might want to start saving up for that. If you must know, the moss itches like crazy.

And speaking of giggling, Vacation Bible School was really something. I enjoyed seeing so many kids from the congregation and the 2

Church Picnic/Outdoor Worship set for August 5th

Gaining ground on our budget

We will be having one worship service on Sunday, August 5. It will be at 11:00 AM, and will be held at the Muzzall farm (in the large barn used for the” off-season” farmer’s market, off Highway 20 and roughly opposite Monroe Landing Road – turn onto the little road that goes past the 3 Sisters egg stand). We will have a simple service with lots of fun music, and plenty of time for fellowship and games, the latter of which may involve a golf-style game involving cow patties. You won’t want to miss it! Please bring a side dish or dessert to share.

Thank you for your response to our budget shortfall! We gained some ground in June, catching up on our shortfall by nearly $3,000. This is especially encouraging as it has come in June, traditionally a meager month for offerings. We are still, however, about $13,000 behind for the year, and so we ask you to please continue to prayerfully consider your giving to OHLC. Let’s keep chipping away at this deficit in support of our ministry together!

Our place in the universe “When I look at the galaxies on a clear night, when I look at the incredible brilliance of creation, and think that this is what God is like, then instead of feeling intimidated and diminished by it, I am enlarged,” said author Madeleine L’Engle. “I rejoice that I am a part of it.”

Call update We are pleased to report that Pastor Marc Stroud has accepted the call to serve as part-time Pastor for Caring Ministries at OHLC. He will officially begin his call on September 1. An installation service is being planned.

How wonderful — and mysterious — that the Creator of the universe not only knows and loves us but wants us to know and love him! Incredibly, we are at once infinitesimally small and yet immeasurably significant because of whose we are.

- The Newsletter Newsletter, August 2012

Rally Sunday Ministry Fair Rally Sunday marks the beginning of the new program year, with Sunday School and various other ministries starting up again. Rally Sunday will be September 9 this year. We’ll kick things off with a Ministry Fair in the fellowship hall, featuring fun informational tables representing the wide variety of ministries and ministry opportunities here at OHLC. All ministry leaders are encouraged to begin planning their table. Everyone else is encouraged to “come and see” on Sunday, September 9th!

The deadline for articles for the September [Ed. Note: Eeeeeek!] newsletter is Tuesday, August 21.

Included in this newsletter are Prayer Ventures and The Spirit for August.

Growing & Learning

Thanks to our VBS Crew! to everyone who helped out with our Vacation Bible School Thanks this year. Special thanks go to Cheryl Blevins for all her hard work

All generations, bound together in love and in the Lord

J

as our director. Our theme this year was “Babylon: Daniel’s Courage in Captivity.” The children learned the wonderful Biblical promise that God is with them through all sorts of challenging circumstances. We appreciate each person who helped share this important message, whether up front and in costume or behind the scenes.

uly was a thunderous month! There were so many people that worked in the education wing for several weeks to create the backdrops and sets for Vacation Bible School. As the lights flickered and the thunder rumbled, murals were painted and walls were built. Crafts were prepared. A pile of laundry lay in my living room, being washed, dried and sorted into costumes for children and volunteers alike. As we prepared for VBS, I realized that August was almost here. I realized that means that the end of summer is in sight. I have been making notes. I have been making schedules and calendar ideas for youth and volunteers. I hope to simplify some of the volunteering that happens for the youth of the church. I know that many people work many hours on behalf of our youth and walk away without knowing if anyone sees the effort. I see it, and want to keep seeing it and I want to say a hearty thank you!

Pastor Jeffrey Spencer

Teachers and more are needed for Sunday School! coming year’s theme for This Sunday School is Jesus’ Family

Tree, as we continue to use the Spark rotation model curriculum.

We are currently recruiting class shepherds, teachers and substitutes.

Teachers need only commit to one month at a time – all curriculum/lesson plans and supplies will be provided.

If you’re interested in volunteering or have questions, please sign up on an Opportunity Form included in your Sunday worship bulletin or contact me, 360-720-2801, pigpal999@hotmail.com .

Why is VBS so important? The obvious answer is that it supports the children of our church in their faith. They create fun, bonding memories made with their peers at church. It’s also a vital outreach to the community and a way to bring new people into contact with OHLC and – more importantly – with Christ. It’s an outreach to the greater community. Our VBS has the potential to reach many families that may not belong to a church and may not know the power of faith.

What is outreach? How can we strengthen our outreach to each other across the generations? I saw elders making art for the youth coming to VBS to enjoy. I, in my middle years, enjoyed fellowship with helpers of all ages as we prepared the crafts. My mother and I sat on the couch together, mending costumes. I am looking forward to spending some time making a craft with all the visiting young people, offering a smile, the message, and some art-making.

News about our church family

This August, as we near the start of a new school year and the planning begins for the coming year of LuthYouth activities, I hope we can remember that there is power in all the generations here at OHLC. The lines from the song “Bind us together, Lord, bind us together, Lord, bind us together in Love,” keep running through my mind as I work. I hope to help in the work of outreach this coming year. VBS will be over by the time you read this newsletter. I hope our work will have touched a heart.

In peace, Stephany Vogel

We offer prayers for our Lord’s comforting presence with Trudy Decker and her family, following the death of her mother, Ethel Chinn, on July 15 in Minnesota.

Ah, awe, “aaugh,” august, August often reflect seasons and so it is Personalities when August arrives. It carries a mix of more

summer sun-filled activities, vacations, etc., but also the inevitable thought about fall on its way.

So here we are: ah - exclamation expressing pain and delight; awe – a mix of feeling of reverence, fear, wonder or sublime, even sacred thoughts; aaugh – that Snoopy slang term to express Norwegian “uff da;” august – inspiring awe and reverence worthy of respect because of age and dignity (gotta love that); August – that summer-tofall transition month that encompasses all of the above and more.

Hello out there to all of you men at OHLC….none of us is much different in this reality than one another. We Old Dogs and Young Pups meet each 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month for lunch, singing, laughing, choosing ministry projects, studying the scriptures and praying.

We invite you who are very busy with so many things on your plate as well as valid reasons why not to attend, to pray about the pros and cons as they would affect you by joining the rest of us.

Second Wednesday Book Group The Second Wednesday Book Group meets in the church library at 1:00 PM on August 8 to discuss Heart in the Right Place, by Carolyn Jourdan, the true story of a spoiled, high-powered Senate lawyer who gives up a glamorous life in Washington and comes back home to the Smoky Mountains to work as an inept receptionist in her father’s rural medical office.

Ministry of the Month: Josephine, one heart, many hands Lutheran Church is a partner congregation of Josephine, Oakan Harbor intergenerational care community located in Stanwood. We look

A word of thanks on behalf of Watoto

A

forward to welcoming Becky Bunke at our adult forum at 9:15 AM on Sunday, August 12.

big THANK YOU for prayers for Skip Lycksell and the medical team during their recent trip to Uganda. They saw about 500 women and their children in the clinics they held. They really did save lives. One woman, Dorothy, walked 7 miles one way to see them with her 6 month old baby and 2 other children. The baby would not breast feed, was limp and had a temperature of 104 degrees. The baby was given antibiotics and the woman returned the next day(14 mile trip); the baby was revived, able to cry and breast feed.

from their website…

Josephine’s mission Josephine is a Christian community welcoming people of all ages, providing rehabilitation, assisted living, long-term care, and child care services.

Josephine’s vision  To create a truly whole-person, wellness philosophy of care and service that responds to personal needs.  To challenge ourselves to think progressively and act creatively in order to redefine care and service, while at the same time encouraging and supporting others to do the same.  To serve as a resource for health and wholeness as we explore and create innovative programs and services.

Most of the patients were women working at Living Hope.

Living Hope is a Watoto workshop for women who have been cast away from society because they were stolen by the invading army and have returned. Most are HIV+ and have several children. These women receive counseling and are able to work sewing dolls, table runners, bags, and pillows. They also make jewelry, peanut butter, and roast coffee.

Daycare is provided on site and they have a daily Bible study. They are able to earn an income, their self-esteem improves, and they now have hope.

Josephine’s statement of philosophy As a Christian-based facility, we are called to be a servant people reaching out with his love in concrete ways to those who are in need. It is our mission as Josephine to reach out by providing the elderly, the children and all others in need of our care, with facilities, services and advocacy on non-profit basis.

We provide housing, facilities, services and programs especially designed to meet the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of those in our care.

Also, a thank you for the donations and purchases for July’s rummage sale. We made about $1,300.

The Watoto team has enjoyed sharing during our July mission emphasis month. We are planning an Oktoberfest dinner in late October.

Thank you for your prayers and support of the Watoto Mission.

You are the team!

If you have any questions about giving to the Endowment Fund, please contact any member of the committee.

“Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

He saw through their duplicity and said to them, “Show me a denarius. Whose portrait and inscription are on it?”

“Caesar’s,” they replied.

He said to them, “Then give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”

- Luke 20: 22-26 NIV

Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s and unto God that which is His. - Matthew 22:21 KJV. Gerry Schwartz, for your Endowment Committee: Bob Wall, Jan Heideger, Craig Pedlar, Mike Fankhauser, Gerry Schwartz, and Pastor Spencer

P.S. We just received news we have our first great-grandchild, a baby boy weighing 9 lb. plus.

Fortunately the United States tax laws currently have provisions which allow us to reduce our lawful taxes by making charitable contributions. Oak Harbor Lutheran Church and the Endowment Fund qualify as charitable organizations.

With thanks to the congregation …

he conventional interpretation by most biblical scholars is that Jesus was saying pay your lawful taxes to the recognized authority but remember you are God’s and owe yourself and your dedication to God. But we must remember also that all we have is a gift from God for our use while still being a good steward which includes paying our lawful share of taxes.

Thank you so much for remembering me on my graduation. It was very kind and generous of you.

Emily Hoyt

Our task is to use the money in the fund for the betterment of Oak Harbor Lutheran Church, Northwest WA Synod and the ELCA as a whole. Since 2008 there has been $35,000 distributed to fund items for OHLC such as new computers, replacing the front doors, and reserves for roof replacement. At the Synod level, funds have been given to Camp Lutherwood, El Camino de Emaus and ELCA Campus Ministry.

At the ELCA level, most has gone to ELCA World Hunger.

Thank you for the quillow. It will remind me of the generosity and compassion of the church every moment of its use. I will hold it in my heart as I embark on new adventures at college.

Courtney Yeager Many thanks for the prayers, cards, and words of comfort for our family at the death of my mother, Ethel Chinn.

You are encouraged to include the Endowment Fund as part of your giving, both during your lifetime as well as end-of-life planning.

Trudy Decker Eighty children were registered for Vacation Bible School this year, with an average daily attendance of 72. Many, many thanks to the wonderful volunteers – youth and adults – who helped during the week! Thank you, too, to all who donated or lent us items for our exciting sojourn in Babylon. A special thanks to the women of Deborah Circle, who spent many hours painting the scenery, and to the Brotherhood of St. Bernard, for their assistance with our Mother’s Day Brunch fundraiser.
