Son Times Summer 2023 | Vol. 2

Party Time

I am old enough to remember the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. One of my favorite segments is when he would venture out into the real world and he would ask real people questions about life, society, the world. For the most part, it was amazing what people knew and did not know. However, lest we keep in mind, when someone dons a camera and a microphone, the tension rises.

If one was to venture out into the streets of a big city and ask random people the question, “When you think of a Christian, what thoughts come to mind?” What do you think the responses would be? (Now I know that the analytical in our midst would ask, “What city in this taking place? What ages would be sampled?” All good and fair questions but I want us to go with our gut on this one.)

Even though responses would run the gamut, I think that a fair number of responses would include things such as: “They’re judgmental.” “They think that they’re better than other people.” “They’re the ones who are against this and against that.” “Quite a few I’ve known are, you know, sticks in the mud.”

Of course, it’s never fair to lump any one group or segment of society all together. However, in my life of faith, I would say, on camera, that there are Christians who are full of judgment— quite a lot, actually. There are Christians who do give off the vibe that, instead of being invitational with their faith, they’re lauding it over others. There are Christians, for too many in my opinion, who live and act as if they are the sole judge of the value of others based upon their understanding of what we’re all told in and through scripture.

The dead-pan comedian Steven Wright once said, “99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.” (Insert laughter

here.) There’s no way we can say that all Christians are like the hypothetical answers provided earlier. Nevertheless, as someone who has been a believer all my life, I can honestly say that Christians can be very full of judgement and even wrath. And, since we know that to be true, I think it’s important that we are mindful of what we say and do as it pertains to matters of faith and life.

I’ve always tried to live by the thought, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” However, when I leave our house and I go out into God’s world, I strive to be careful about how I live with my brothers and sisters in Christ. Instead of a copping an attitude of being the hall monitor, I think we are called to be a companion and a helper to those who, in this analogy, walk beside us in life. By no means does this mean that we don’t stand up for what we believe and what is right and just for our neighbor. Yet, in all times and in all places, I think, as disciples of Jesus, we are called to be a source of hope, light, love, promise, newness, and joy—that begins now and will last forever.

Since we always like to be helpful here at St Andrew, we thought that a fourweek series entitled, “Party Time” might be, well, fun. Join us on Sunday mornings as we talk about how the followers of Jesus are called to have fun, celebrate, and be full of grace, and hope. Why in the world would anyone want to miss a series of parties in the name of Jesus?!

In the meantime, be well, have some fun, and God bless!

David Lillejord Senior Pastor

God’s Kingdom is a Party

How did Lutherans gain our reputation as the “frozen chosen” when Jesus told us repeatedly that God’s kingdom is a party? Contrary to popular belief, we Lutheran Christians were not baptized in vinegar! Our second sermon series of the summer delves into the reality of God’s kingdom as a party. Not only did Jesus teach this in his parables (“the kingdom of heaven is like a wedding banquet…”) but God was even showing us this reality through the story of the birth of Jesus when the angels started singing in the sky and the wise men showed up with presents in hand! And if the party was just getting started with the birth of Jesus, then the book of Revelation shows us that the party never ends as we join in the marriage feast of the Lamb that lasts for all of eternity.

God’s party, like this sermon series, is centered around the person of Jesus, who is the “Life of the party.” In John 15:11, Jesus says, “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.” With all of the hardships

in the world and the discouraging headlines that surround us, it is often hard to reconcile these things with the fact that God calls us to take the idea of joy very seriously! Having the joy of the Lord in us does not mean that we need to be happy about everything that happens to us (or to our neighbors), but it does lead us to a place of deep gratitude, hope, and peace despite our circumstances.

Sometimes we see the joy of the Lord reflected most profoundly in children. Jesus said, “let the children come to me and do not hinder them for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” I believe that this also means that we all need to cultivate our ability to be childlike in our faith and trust, and also to work on seeing the world through that lens. When we do so, we see the wonder of God’s creation and our place in it through new eyes. Each year, I look forward to leading the worship portion of our Vacation Bible School because I see children fully engaged in worshipping and singing in a way that we adults

tend to lose somewhere along the way. I remember Wednesday night rehearsals years ago when Kirsten Hanninen was leading our Spirit Singers and this particular group of students always wanted to stand on their chairs and belt out their songs at the top of their lungs! While I am not recommending this for our Sunday morning worship services, we could do a lot worse than to capture some of that spirit in our corporate worship together. I believe that our Lutheran liturgy points us in that direction when we sing “This is the feast of victory for our God” as a reminder to us that our time of holy Communion should not feel like a dirge. It’s another way of saying to us that God’s kingdom, after all, is a party. And it’s a party like no other.

See you in church!

Tim Graf Worship & Music Director

“…That’s the kind of church that Jesus came to create! I don’t know where we got the other one that’s so prim and proper . . . Our Jesus was and is the Lord of the party.”

-Tony Campolo

What is the best party you’ve ever been to and why was it so meaningful?

My husband, Edward, and I love hosting get togethers. We enjoy bringing people together to socialize, kick back and relax while eating good food, and having fun. That was something that we always talked about even before we were married—that we want our home to be a place where people are always welcome. One party that sticks out in my mind as being really meaningful was when one of my friends who graduated from seminary a couple of years before me wasn’t going to have family at graduation. His parents were going to be traveling internationally and he didn’t have anything planned. I, with a couple of friends, planned a surprise graduation party for him. I prepped all the food, my friend offered her house as the location, and we sent out all the invites to everyone. I loved being able to create that space to celebrate his accomplishment and to bring people together to be a part of it.

And I think parties or get togethers are to do just that. They are these special times that we bring people together to build closer relationships to care for and be merry together. The most meaningful parties are the ones that bring “everyone”

together where there is something for everyone to be a part of and to feel loved. There is not one lonely person sitting in the corner because the most meaningful parties don’t exclude but make you feel relaxed and seen.

This type of party is one that we will be hosting at St Andrew in July during our Summer Socials held on July 12, 19, and 26. We will have something for all ages. This is a party for anyone and everyone! There will be different food trucks each week, entertainment such as a bouncy house, yard games, and live music. We wanted to create a space where people didn’t have to worry about what to make for supper or what activity they could do as a family. We got you covered.

So, consider this your formal invitation to come, relax, eat, and enjoy some time with your friends and family at St Andrew in July.

We look forward to seeing you at our Summer Socials!

Sarah Fike Pastor of Children, Youth, & Family

Summer Socials

Come and be social on Wednesdays in July All ages are welcome!

July 12, 19, & 26 | 5:00-8:00 PM St. Andrew Parking Lot

Food Trucks, Family Activities, Fellowship, Entertainment, & More! No need to register— just come and bring a friend, too!

Have you been invited? Do you feel you belong? When we feel welcome these questions are answered with a resounding yes. Plain and simple. Walking in through a new door can be overwhelming but being the recipient of a joyful greeting initiates connection. It stirs a sense of belonging. This was offered to me beginning here at St. Andrew at the start of June. That sense of belonging and a joyous welcome is a part of what I hope to continue nurturing—something well established by those already here.

If you have not met me already, I am Kari Shellenbarger. I am serving in the new role of Hospitality & Volunteer Coordinator. Before my arrival here, my primary focus was my family. My husband Andrew and I will be married for 22 years in December. We started our lives together in Shakopee, living there for seven years, moved to Bloomington for seven years, and now have lived in Glencoe for the past seven years. (Are you sensing a pattern yet?) With no plans of moving anytime soon, the momentous change this time is me returning to the workforce after staying home for fifteen years and educating my three boys—Samuel (19), Declan (15), and Rhys (13). During my time away from the workforce, I have held a variety of volunteer roles both administratively and practically. My education was at Concordia College— Moorhead where I received a B.A. in English Literature and Secondary Education (although, I have only formally taught my own three boys). I enjoy spending my spare time working in the garden, reading, spending time outdoors and hanging out with my family.

I am looking forward to the role I have coordinating and working alongside the joyful volunteers who make a big place like St. Andrew feel like a close family—gathering for a big party. Greeters, Ushers, Communion Assistants, those who serve donuts, and the Wednesday Night Dinner Crew are among those whom I will be coordinating. They are vital to making St. Andrew a welcoming place and inviting for newcomers to come again. I thank all those I have had the privilege of meeting and anticipate the joy of meeting many more. Please introduce yourself if we have not already met and introduce yourself again (forgiving me for the lack of recognition) if we have met already. Just as my life is at a crossroad of new beginnings, yours may be too. If you found yourself pausing on those initial questions uncertain of the answers, I invite you to come to the party, consider stepping into serving the family at St. Andrew. Or, perhaps you already serve and are comfortable in what you are doing, but would like to explore a new path. There are many opportunities to engage as a volunteer here, either once or on a continuing basis—we will find a place that suits you best. In all cases your service to others not only fosters a welcoming embrace for those who are new, but it establishes the joyful wholeness of belonging for you. If you would like to explore options, have questions, or just want to reach out for a chat about volunteering, you can contact me, Kari Shellenbarger at 952.697.7118, or kshellenbarger@standrewlu.org. Thank you for your hospitality, St. Andrew. I feel at home.

Kari Shellenbarger Hospitality & Volunteer Coordinator

On Sunday, April 2, thirty-eight members of St. Andrew Lutheran Church had the opportunity to join Pastor Peter in the ultimate Jesus party in Jerusalem. The Palm Sunday walk into the old city of Jerusalem is unlike anything I have ever experienced or ever will again. We started on the Mount of Olives at Bethphage Church in great anticipation of the walk to come. The excitement in the air was palpable. Behind the church were groups from many different countries strumming guitars, banging drums and singing. The music and chanting filled the air and added to the party atmosphere. All of us were caught up in the energy of the moment.

As we began the procession it was fascinating to look around. Thousands of people were on the march, dancing, singing, shouting in so many different languages I couldn’t even begin to count them all. All of us were here for one single purpose—to praise Jesus and honor his journey into Jerusalem—the journey that led to his sacrifice on the cross and the saving of our lives. Having grown up in the traditional Scandinavian Lutheran church (where we don’t clap for anything during a church service) this outward display of emotion and joy was truly

something to witness. There was a group from South Africa behind us whose joy and music were unbelievably contagious. It was impossible not to dance and move to their drumming rhythms along with their singing. The whole experience simply overwhelmed your senses with the sheer joy of being on the march for Jesus.

After our return home, I often reflect on those moments during the march. What a gift to be able to witness others joy for Jesus. Our world is very big and the love and joy in Jesus is alive and well and living in others across the globe. The whole experience made me ask myself a few questions. How can I share the pure joy I experienced during our pilgrimage? What are we doing as a church to help others learn and experience the joy of our living savior, Jesus?

I know that I will try to live my faith more openly with my unchurched friends. I will be more conscious about inviting people to worship and special events at church. The Holy Spirit can work miracles. Don’t be afraid to show and share your joy for Jesus. Amen.

When my kids were small, we had a box that I had filled with special plates, party hats, balloons, small little trinkets, and I would also put a cake mix and frosting in it. I occasionally went through the dollar store to find items to fill up our “party box”. By having this box fully stocked we were always ready for a spontaneous party. We had a party to celebrate small milestones at school or work, we had a party to celebrate random days on the calendar and we had more than one party for a stuffed animal or doll, attended by various other invisible friends and stuffed animals. I loved the excitement and joy that it would create when we would pull out the box, and instantly create a party. Whoever was around might find themselves with a party hat, and balloons and sometimes even a silly string fight in the backyard!

As the kids got older, we pulled out the party box less and less, and eventually, I stopped filling it up. I recently was reminiscing about our impromptu parties and wished that I still had a party box to celebrate having all of my kids at home one night, with nothing to do (a rare occurrence indeed)—it would have

been a perfect night for a silly string fight in the backyard!

As I write this, I’m knee deep in VBS preparations. VBS, while it is lots of work, is one of the most joy filled weeks of the year for me! I love seeing the excitement of the kids as they experience the love of God in new and exciting ways. I love seeing the theme come to life, singing all the fun songs, playing the games, and experiencing the kingdom of God as a party where everyone is welcome and there is a sense that a party can happen at any minute! It is my prayer that we can continue to help find the moments of joy and holy laughter in our lives, and in our faith, that will help others experience God in new and powerful ways this summer, whether that is through VBS, Camp, Summer Socials or through connecting with others in fellowship or hearing the word in Worship. We are loved by the God of the Universe! That is cause to celebrate—so get out your party boxes!

Shawna Berg Children’s Ministry Director

Joy is an essential part of the life of faith. For as long as I can remember I’ve considered it a theological rock, or firm belief. Jesus’ assertion in John 10:10 that a full and abundant life for all people is God’s will has always been foundational for me. This, in partnership with Martin Luther’s understanding of The Freedom of a Christian, continually guides me toward asking, “Is this life giving? Does it share, inspire ,or invite into joy?” Luther wrote, “A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject of all, subject to all.” In other words, do we use the joy and freedom we have in Christ in ways that bring those same things to life in others?

And while it’s good to talk about joy, it is far better to experience it. I invite you to reflect on these words from Julian of Norwich—“The fullness of joy is to see God in everything; for the same power, wisdom, and love with which God made all things, our good Lord is continually leading all things to the same end and Godself shall bring this about.”

As you can see, this summer is off to a great start with more to come!

Brent Haglund High School & Young Adult Director

Party Time

Young children are pretty much always “game on” for a good party! Whether it be going to summer camp, scheduling play dates with friends, or outings or vacations with their families. And then, of course, there is the planning for their next birthday party or what Halloween costume they will wear for the next Halloween. These party plans will continue all year long for these monumental events, as many parents and teachers know.

This summer our preschool children get to party and learn so many new things at our preschool summer camps. Each week has a different theme. A sample of some of these party themes include a ‘Lil Dude Ranch, Around the World Adventure, a Garden Party, and a Beach Party. These celebrations are a wonderful way for children to learn and also feel part of their school community. They are able to come together and enjoy a fun break from the school year routine.

We are so fortunate to have Shawna Berg, our Children’s Ministry Director, join us every week at summer camp to remind our preschool children that Jesus wants them at his party! They are learning that they are invited to the most special party of all with Jesus. They are learning what it’s like to have a relationship with Jesus and that if you love and follow Jesus, you can stay at his party forever!

Kathi Wieman Preschool Director

“Serve the Lord with celebration! Come before him with shouts of joy!

–Psalm 100:1

Be Careful, Joy Is Contagious!

The other night I was watching a television commercial of a little girl, about 3 years old, who had uncontrollable giggles that lasted for about 20 seconds. I found myself smiling because her joy was absolutely authentic and contagious. Jesus understood the healing effects of joy when he said, “I’ve spoken these things so my joy may be in you and that your joy is full.” Psychiatrist, Dr. Francoise Adan has observed that being happy doesn’t just make us feel better but it improves our health. Negative behavior and angry words can cause all those experiencing them to feel negative and alienated from the people around them. I’d prefer to try to help people around me feel better about life, more hopeful, and more joyful.

When I turned 40, a group of our friends came over to our house late the night before my birthday and threw toilet paper over branches of trees and bushes in our front yard and left a coffin in the front yard that said, “Roger’s 40 and his youth is dead!” I’m told that they

were laughing and giggling about this birthday prank until our neighbor, Mary, came storming out of her house accusing our friends of acting like a “bunch of kids.” She suggested that they should be ashamed of themselves—adults doing such a silly thing. By the way, all of these friends were members of our church. According to Mary’s way of thinking, God would definitely not approve. However, Mary was known to come out her front door with a broom in her hand screaming at her teenage son for acting his age and probably saying something she took offense to. She ended her tirade with, “And don’t come back into this house.” Of course, he did come back into the house but Mary simply was a person who lacked ‘joy.’

So, what would Jesus do? Well, I’d like to think that Jesus would join the fun. I can hear him say, “Hey, give me a roll of that toilet paper—I’ll get it to the top of that tree…ha, ha, ha!” After all, Jesus helped a wedding celebration

continue late into the night by turning water into wine.

Joy is defined as the feeling of great pleasure or delight, a sense of wellbeing. As we all know, anger, impatience, criticism, and stress seem to be in excess these days which have negative effects on our minds and bodies. So, I vote for a little more joy. If tossing that TP into the tree makes you laugh, then do it! After all, it only took me an hour to clean up all that TP but I did wonder, if it was good enough to put to use! And yes, I smiled most of the time I was cleaning it up thinking how lucky I am to have funloving friends who care about me.

So, may the God of hope fill you with joy and peace. (Romans 15:13)

Roger Schindel Visitation Pastor

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

–Romans 15:13

Introducing Church Anew Interns

Elizabeth Schoen is a rising senior from the Washington, D.C. area and is working on some new creative projects for the Church Anew blog. Alliance Umotomi Ishema is a rising junior from Rwanda and has been grateful to work closely on A New Catechism.

A New Catechism

Every summer, Church Anew is honored to work with two young adult interns from St. Olaf College. In partnership with its Lutheran Center for Faith, Values, and Community, we have two additional helpers in our work.

This year, we are working on a unique collaboration to form A New Catechism, a project to articulate a compelling vision of Lutheran faith and identity for the 21st century.

Martin Luther worked tirelessly to help ordinary people learn and practice a faith that resonated with their experience. He wrote the Small Catechism in 1529 as one of those tools. It used language of the day to connect the principles of faith with the lives of medieval people. If you were encouraged (perhaps some read forced?) to memorize the Small Catechism in Confirmation classes, you may remember language about maid-servants and man-servants, oxes, and donkeys, and other property familiar to people of that time.

But the Small Catechism was never meant to be the only tool that helps share faith. The reformers used all the tools at their disposal—stained glass, art, the brand-new printing press, and translating the Scripture into the language of the day. Reformers started public schools (some of the first in Europe) so that people could have access to the language of faith.

The world has changed a lot since these times, and people are still asking questions of purpose, meaning, and how to live a life that makes a difference. With the Lutheran Center, our amazing interns, and Church Anew, we are embarking on a project to build teaching tools for sharing Lutheran faith and identity.

Specifically, this summer, we are facilitating ten conversations with scholars, pastors, deacons, lay-people, and young adults. Each conversation discusses the central facets of Lutheran faith, as outlined in a presentation that Dr. Guy Irwin shared in 2022. But this is a conversation that can flow outside of these zoom-rooms. If you’d like to share your own ideas for our discussion, we’d love to hear them! Take a listen to this short introduction and share your thoughts! (https:// churchanew.org/a-new-catechism). Email your thoughts or ideas or stories to me (pastormatthew@standrewlu.org) and I will be sure they are part of our ongoing work. Thank you for being part of this St. Andrew community and all your ongoing support of Church Anew!

Matthew Ian Fleming Pastor of Teaching Church Anew Director

Joy is one of the things that camp does best. The days are long, the activities are endless, and the community is contagious. Life at camp can be a picture for what life in a faith community is called to be. Everyone, with all of their unique gifts and interests, has a moment to shine. Whether its debuting something at the talent show, or learning a new skill on the challenge course, or just enjoying swimming in the lake to your heart’s content, this unique approach to life in community brings a kind of joy that can be more elusive in our lives back at home.

This summer all of this is especially true because our theme is “In the Light” which comes from 1 John 1: 7-8, “If we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another.” Walking in God’s light is how we can have true fellowship with one another; it is where each of us can be seen and known as our truest selves. Being wholly and unconditionally seen and accepted

brings along with it a joy that is unlike any other. Camp gives us a glimpse of this joy and what community can be like with this intention. And, at its best, camp also empowers us to be creators of this kind of intentional community wherever we go. Whether it is on a sports teams, in our families, or in classrooms, we can choose to be the ones who do life differently. We do life the way Jesus showed us how to. We can slow down and we can take the time we need to see one another. We can create new rhythms where encouraging words are said, songs are sung, and the joy of just getting to be together gets center stage.

We are in the middle of the second week of camp as I am writing this article. I am sitting on beach watching campers play an enthusiastic game of water basketball. I am seeing other campers swing nearby with a book in their lap. I am watching counselors encourage new campers to make it out to the lilypad.

None of this would be happening if this place and this community did not exist. Everyone here chose to give an entire week of their time to one another, to show up and tell each other their stories, and to expect God to show up in their midst. What would our lives be like if we did that more often? What if we showed up to our next work meeting wondering what chance we might have to be the hands and feet of Christ for someone? What if we more often shared the burden (and joy!) of preparing and eating meals in community? What if we played more games and enjoyed more sunsets? There is so much joy available every day, if only we decide to live a little more like we do at camp and step into that light.

Sarah Blasing Outdoor Ministry & Youth Leadership Director

Church Business is pretty serious stuff. It ranges from the nitty gritty (… where is the receipt for that $8.72 Target charge on that credit card? Who spent it and where does it need to be booked?) to the big 6 figure challenges (… remember the new chiller last year? The restroom renovation this year? Kaching!), from the super urgent (… that water leak in the basement dripping right on top of the main electrical panel) to the very long term projects (… our Constitution is about 3 versions behind the latest model…), from the very tactical (… does it make more sense to buy a second-hand bouncy castle, or rent one for each program occasion?) to the very strategic (… could our Early Learning serve our community better with more infant and toddler spaces? Would that be a wise business investment?). And overall, there is the everyday sense of responsibility for the very generous gifts that our congregation entrusts us with, and how to make the most of those gifts, and be the best church possible for our members and our community. And joyful! Wait, what? Where is the budget line for that?

Thankfully, there is Sunday morning worship that reminds me of the joy at the center of our faith! To come together to hear the stories about Jesus, be inspired by the music, and enjoy the fellowship with our wonderful congregants. And there are our many programs, for example our Summer Socials in July, where we can flex our party muscle and share our joy! We had a fabulous VBS session in June, Camp is in full swing, and there is everyday laughter and fun in our Early Learning programs. Youth Mission Trips are coming up. And if you missed the first wine tasting event, fear not, there are more coming! Such great joyful energy all around. Thankfully, sharing the joy of our faith with one another and our community does not need to be budgeted. It’s free, and the more we share it, the more abundantly we experience it. Thank you to all of you for sharing your joy!

Meggy Wagner Senior Director of Church Operations

From the Business Office:

Thanks to your generosity and great response to Full Steam Ahead, we are going into July ahead of our giving budget! We are very grateful for the many ways you support all our ministries and programming, and especially making our Full Steam Ahead summer possible!

Your generosity has also enabled us to create the new position of Hospitality & Volunteer Coordinator, which was not included in our budget, as well as our LED light conversion project, which is now complete in the whole building. The new LED lights are saving significant energy, on top of brightening our beautiful spaces! It will only take about four years for this environmental stewardship project to pay for itself. And of course there are always unbudgeted repairs that come up in our building: this month it’s our elevator that’s acting up, and we are working on diagnosis and pricing to ensure smooth rides again soon!

For our larger projects that require permitting, we are working with our architects and the City of Eden Prairie to resolve some building code issues. For our Walkway to the Prayer Garden around the back of the building, which seals additional surface on our property, we are required to ‘re-green’ an equivalent area of our sealed surfaces. We will therefore convert 10–12 parking lots along Technology Drive into a grass area. This area of the parking lot is used only very lightly, and losing those spots will not interfere with our programming. We are very grateful that the additional cost for this conversion is covered by our generous sponsor for the Walkway, and that the project will start as soon as permits are received!

As you may know, the Finance Committee approved the renovation of our main restrooms this year. We are facing some difficult decisions, as ADA code requirements could mean a more substantial reconfiguration than we had planned. As reported earlier, we are also conducting a building study of the entire Early Education wing, and the bathroom renovation may have to be folded into that larger plan to keep the current configuration. We will keep you posted!

For any questions, please contact Meggy Wagner, Sr. Director of Church Operations, mwagner@standrewlu.org.

In the kingdom of God, joy is serious business. Children perhaps understand this more instinctively than we grownups do and how they approach life can teach us so much about the nature of God’s kingdom. If God’s kingdom is a party, have we been invited? And will we even have the right clothes to wear? How is God calling us to experience the serious business of joy and how are we inviting others to that party that never ends? Join us for a series that looks at Jesus, the life of the party, and how he is calling us to live into the joy of the Lord that is our strength!
