Tidings from My Neighbor is Muslim by Pastor Krehl Stringer
The God who made the world and
everything in it, he who is Lord of
heaven and earth, does not live in
shrines made by human hands, nor
is he served by human hands, as
though he needed anything, since
he himself gives to all mortals life
and breath and all things. From
one ancestor he made all nations
to inhabit the whole earth, and he
allotted the times of their existence
and the boundaries of the places
where they would live, so that they
would search for God and perhaps
grope for him and find him—
though indeed he is not far from
each one of us.
(Acts of the Apostles 17:24-27)
When it came to engaging people
on their experience of God, no
apostle in all of Christian history
was more effective than the
Apostle Paul. He often made a
study of local customs and
religious beliefs to base his witness
to the gospel, believing firmly that
God meets people where they are,
and Paul wanted to do that with
genuine humility and Christ-like
love. This will be our aim as we
use a resource developed by
Lutheran Social Service of
Minnesota (in consultation with the
Islamic Dawah Center in St. Paul)
to assist small groups in better
understanding (and thereby to
better love and serve) our Muslim
neighbor.
Pastor Stringer will lead us through
eight one-hour sessions that will
touch on the basics of Islamic
teachings and practice, acquaint us
with the Qur’an, learn how we as
Christians can relate to others of
differing faiths, and in the process
come to a deeper appreciation for
interfaith dialogue and
collaboration. Mark your calendars
for “My Neighbor is Muslim:
Exploring the Muslim Faith” on
the Sundays after worship
beginning January 17 through
March 13, 10:15 am. Δ
Zion, we’ll do what we
can… by Jim Hallan
The following was shared with the
congregation at the December 6
worship service.
If you were asked about your
involvement with the new church
building, how would you answer?
Would you say, “We’ll do what we
can”? Think about that…We’ll do
what we can. And will you look
back and say “We did what we
could”?
Just so we’re clear on this, I asked
to make a presentation concerning
our construction thermometer,
which has a bit to grow. I pose this
now, because some of us have had
a tough time getting serious about
our goals. I think I’m the perfect
one to talk about this, because
Carol and I were at the stage where
many of you obviously are now.
We went through the process of
imagining a little different plan,
and I heard it from many of you.

I believe that appreciation
is a holy thing —
that when we look
for what’s best in a person
we happen to be with
at the moment,
we’re doing what
God does all the time.
So in loving and appreciating
our neighbor,
we’re participating
in something sacred.

We Care
2015 by Carol Hallan
Thank you and bless you, to all
who participated in any way, in
We Care this year. Planning began
in October and the project
culminated on December 15 with
packing and delivery.
We Care, for those of you who are
not familiar with the project, is a
Zion and community ministry that
reaches out to those who have lost
a loved one in the past year, and to
those who are in need in some
way, be it health, loneliness, or
difficult times. We Care also
remembers the Elk Wood
residents, school families, and the
Warroad Senior Living Center.
Some 200 bags and boxes were
delivered this year. And for the
second year, several We Care
volunteers entertained residents in
Skilled Care at the Care Center
with a Christmas party – herring
being the highlight!
A huge thank you to those who
gave financially, to the 55 bakers
(from the entire community of
Warroad, not just Zion), who
baked 199 loaves of bread, 180
dozen cookies, and made 240 bags
of snack mix. Doug’s, Dollar
Savers, and the T-Shirt Barrel are
also very generous in helping us
meet the needs of our recipients.
On Tuesday, 26 volunteers from
Zion, St. Mary’s, and the Union
Congregational Church helped
pack our bags with cookies,
breads, fruit, meats, cheeses,
crackers, and miscellaneous food
stuffs, plus wrapped Christmas
gifts. And the best part is that
these same volunteers then each
delivered the bags and totes to
Warroad area recipients.
Who is blessed more, we aren’t
sure; but we do know that the
people who deliver are met with
hugs, tears of gratitude, and verbal
“Thanks from the bottom of my
heart.” It is truly God’s work, Our
hands. Δ
Tidings from Zion is a communication
tool circulated monthly among the
members and friends of Zion Lutheran
Church, Warroad, Minnesota. The copy
deadline for the next publication is

I so liked the write-up on the
ELCA website regarding worship
that I decided just to reprint it here:
For Lutherans, worship stands at
the center of our life of faith.
Through God’s word, water,
bread, and prayer we are
nurtured in faith and sent out
into the world.
Connected with and central to
everything we do, worship unites
us in celebration, engages us in
thoughtful dialogue and helps us
grow in faith. It grounds us in
our Christian and Lutheran
roots, while demonstrating
practical relevance for today’s
world.
While some of the approaches to
worship may differ from one
ELCA congregation to another,
we hold certain things in
common. Central to our worship
life is the presence of God
through word and sacrament.
The word proclaimed and
the sacraments —both Holy
Baptism and Holy Communion
— are called the means of
grace. We believe that Jesus
Christ is present in these means
through the power of the Holy
Spirit. Sometimes we describe
worship as a “gathering around
the means of grace.”
There is also a basic pattern for
worship among Lutherans. We
gather. We encounter
God’s word. We share a meal at
the Lord’s table. And we
are sent into the world. But we
do not think about worship so
much in terms of what we do.
Worship is fundamentally about
what God is doing and our
response to God’s action.
Worship is an encounter with
God, who saves us through the
life, death and resurrection of
Jesus Christ.
(Adapted from www.elca.org/
Our-Work/Congregations-and-
Synods/Worship)
God has blessed our congregation
with an astonishing array of
talented, passionate, and
resourceful people to help lead us
in worship: greeters, lectors,
ushers, acolytes, communion
assistants, altar guild members,
musicians, choir members, tellers,
artists, graphic designers, liturgists,
audio/video technicians, and all the
faithful worshipers who gather
every Sunday and/or Wednesday.
On Sunday, January 10 at 6:30 pm,
we will be having a gathering of all
those committees, sub-committees,
and others involved in the planning
and conduct of worship at Zion.
The event will offer us a time to
sing and pray together; it will be a
time for us to “see the big picture”
of worship through the seasons and
festivals of the church year; the
event will promote excellence in
worship so that how we plan and
how we lead worship is the best we
have to offer to God’s glory and
the building up of Christian
community. If you have been
involved in worship leadership
before in any of the above
capacities, or if you would like to
be involved (!), you are cordially
invited to come. Contact Pastor
Krehl if you can bring a plate of
cookies, bars, or other refreshment
to share. I look forward to this
time of celebrating and visioning
together!
Peace+
Rooted in a New Creation by Pastor Krehl Stringer
“Worship: A foundation of faith for everything we do”
…behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he that
is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to
worship him.” (Matthew 2:1b-2 )

Some didn’t like the location,
welcoming area, didn’t think it
should be built without a library,
where’s the choir, the windows
weren’t appropriate, there were too
many offices, the sanctuary size
was whittled down too much, the
assembly room wasn’t adequate,
etc. and etc. As far as I’m
concerned, those issues are past.
Those are old issues. Let’s move
on.
Carol and I took the opportunity to
walk through the structure last
week, and the misgivings we had
are gone. The layout looks good
and it’s going to be a beautiful,
functional, and appropriate facility.
But, so far, less than ½ of our
congregation has bought into the
fact that it needs to be paid for.
I have a suggestion. Make this a
promise…This evening, before you
go to bed, take the initiative, and
have a little conversation with
yourself, spouse, or family. Say
this: “I’ll do what I can.” “We’ll
do what we can.” Do you think
God would ask us to do more than
that? This little statement is one
that every kid and adult from 8 to
80 can say, and does not hinge on
your economic situation, or
whether you have given already or
not, or whether you’re a long-time
member or are new to the
congregation.
It seems that our main concern
right now is that every person say,
“We’ll do what we can.”
I’m not suggesting any dollar
amount. That should be between
you and the Lord. I’m simply
suggesting that all of us who have
a connection to Zion say, “We’ll

Pathways Village
Camp Minne-Wa-Kan
August 16-25, 2016
Plan now to mark your calendars
for August 16-25 to participate in
an Intergenerational Camping
Event modeled on the Holden
Village experience. This unique
camping experience is Pathways’
newest ministry adventure. You
may register for two nights or
more—whatever fits your
schedule. During the 10 days,
Pathways will offer a range of
classes, workshops, and outdoor
adventures in which you can
participate, or not, as you desire.
Plan to take all the classes, or just
sit on the beach and enjoy the lake.
The one “required” event will be
worship every evening when the
whole community will gather for a
creative, deeply meaningful
experience of spiritual community.
People of all ages are welcome.
Mark your calendars NOW!
Watch for details and registration
info in the coming weeks. Δ

can.”
If you have this discussion in your
home, I am confident that the
needs for both the General Fund
and the Building Fund will be met
as we complete a new House of
Worship.
Remember: “We’ll do what we
can.” Δ

Spirit, and teaching them to

with scripture and questions to
guide the meeting through
individual faith journeys. These
questions are designed to promote
conversation about your own
