From the Pastor, to my Partners,

Earlier this Spring, my lawn would have barely looked green at all, except for the weeds. Then I applied a good dose of "weed and feed." Large bare spots showed up where the weeds have formerly filled in. Luckily, the plenti-ful rains have encouraged good growth, and my lawn is now mostly green.

Actually, weeds simply represent plants that grow in unwanted places. Some might say just let them grow along with the grass. At least the lawn might stay green, without contaminating chemicals.

Jesus told a story about letting weeds (tares) grow together with wheat. We skipped this reading in our weekly sequence through Matthew this year, when we celebrated "Christmas in July" the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd.

24He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field;

25but while everybody was asleep, an en-emy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away. 26So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. 27And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where, then, did these weeds come from?’ 28He answered, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The slaves said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ 29

But he replied, ‘No; for in gathering the weeds you would uproot the wheat along with them. 30

Let both of them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.’” (Matthew 13:24-30)

So Jesus condones letting the weeds grow. He acknowledges that for the life of God to be real it needs to live and grow in a real world.

We might rather have a solution to weeding out all the bad stuff. We like to think of ourselves as "good wheat" from "good seed," and see some of "those people" from the "other side" as weeds in our garden, infecting our nice world. But now we encounter some problems. We can hardly tell the wheat and the weeds apart. If we try to get rid of all the weeds, we will damage or even kill the good wheat.

The Tidings 3

God’s peace,

Pastor Paul Geisler

Also, the "garden" may actually represent us, ourselves, with wheat and weeds together inside us. With an honest look in the mirror we clearly know that we do contain both wehat and weed. We are truly lost, if God ever stops loving and forgiving sinners (us).

Nit-picking weeds in a field of young wheat does more harm to the wheat than good. Nit-picking ourselves or others can be just as damaging. Each of us, in fact, contains both weeds and good wheat, but thanks be to God who loves us anyway and promises to forgive us our "weediness," making us about in abundant fruitfulness!

SOCIETY OF ST. STEPHEN UPDATES

June was a very busy month for Society of St. Stephen. The needs were great and behind each need was a heartbreaking story.

One case was a young woman who is thirty-three weeks pregnant and has two children. She had to stop working because of complications with her pregnancy. Her husband left the area without paying any of the expenses. The apartment served an eviction notice. Her mother paid the amount owed to stop eviction and

Society paid her electric bill.

Another case involved a woman with children who are staying at the family unit at the Salvation Army shel-ter. She began experiencing severe seizures and was taken to the emergency room. Society paid for her prescribed seizure medication.

The Society of St. Stephen are a group of people from the First United Methodist, Chapelwood United Methodist, and Christ Lutheran Church who are committed to providing emergency or temporary assis-tance to local people in need.

The Memorial Committee is an important committee in our church. They are responsible for ensuring that memori-al gifts are properly recorded and acknowledged. They also report the available funds to the Church Council and ensure that a suggested list of memorial gifts be available when re-quested.

Byron Sims has agreed to chair this group and is asking for 2 or 3 volunteers to be on the committee. Some knowledge of church history would be helpful but it is certainly not re-quired.

Please let Byron know if you're interested in serving. His phone is 979-709-8525.

Even during the dog days of summer, things continue to grow. Water your garden of faith during Pentecost, “The Growing Season” of our church year, through November.

Our summer schedule continues through August, so please be willing to step forward and plug in as reader, usher, Power Point operator, special music, Altar Guild, and any other gifts you can share. We can’t assume you are willing unless you step up and step in to a familiar role, or perhaps a new one. Our hard-working secretary cannot use your gifts unless she knows you are willing! There is always someone to teach and guide you. To God be the glory!

Aug 5/6. Matthew 14:13-21. After John the Baptist was murdered, Jesus wanted to find a place of solitude to reflect and grieve. However, many people followed him wherever he went. He put his personal thoughts aside, had the disciples find a boy with loaves and fishes and fed thousands with food for the soul and their bodies.

Aug 12/13. Matthew 14:22-33. After he preached and fed the multitudes, Jesus sent the disciples toward the other shore while he went up the hillside to pray. The disciples were buffeted by strong winds and seas, and as they looked up, Jesus was walking to them upon the water. Peter asked to join him, and did, but grew fearful and began to sink. Jesus rescued him, but chided them all for their lack of faith. As they climbed into the boat, the seas calmed. The disciples professed that Jesus was truly the Son of God.

Aug. 19/20. Matthew 15:[10-20], 21-28. The Pharisees and lawyers from Jerusalem were taking issue with Jesus and his disciples breaking traditions regarding washing and foods they ate. Jesus admonished them saying it was not what went into one’s mouth that defiled him, but what comes out of it.

Aug. 26/27. Matthew 16:13-20. After warning his disciples against the teachings of the Pharisees, Jesus asked his disciples “Who do men say that the Son of Man is? They gave him a variety of answers. Howev-er, Peter announced “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus responded by saying that Pe-ter knew this because it was revealed to him by His Heavenly Father. Afterward, Jesus told Peter he was the rock on which He would build his church.

Looking Ahead!

September 3rd. We will return to ONE 9:00am service on Sunday mornings.

Our summer worship time has been enhanced by fun fellowship activities, which we’ve all enjoyed.

Coming together as the people of God on Sunday morning will be mighty special as we reconnect in wor-ship, song, prayer, and sharing the Holy Meal. Then, we are sent to serve!

Quarterly Devotionals have arrived!

Christ in Our Home and The Word in Season.

There are still a few of these complimentary devotionals available in the gathering area. Please help your-self—or share with someone who’d enjoy a daily devotional dose.

Bread for Life Study Group

Bread for Life Study Group began in January, 2000.

If you can’t make it to Sunday School, but would like to learn more from the Bible, join us!

We meet Wednesdays from 11:30 – 12:30, in the church library.

August discussions will be from Paul’s letter to the Romans

Oh, my! We have rousing, interesting, thought-provoking discussions. And when in doubt, we ask Pastor Paul for insight, or find some answers on Google as we discuss the upcoming epistle les-son. Copies of the appropriate study are usually on the library table. There is no leader, no test, nothing but great fellowship and discussion—and a bit of chocolate.

Camp Hope Reflections

Thank you to all who contributed time and supplies to Camp Hope this year. We may not have many kiddos in our midst, but we bear a powerful message to the Campers (and staff) who show up during the week. There’re a lot of behind the scenes activities that come together to spread the Good News. It is a joy and pleasure to see the same young people year after year. So many have begun as little campers and have, through the years, become staff members. Our message must be resonating with them as time goes on. And that’s the whole idea! Praise God!

Martin Luther did not actually like being called a "Lutheran." He said, "I ask that people make no reference to my name; let them call themselves Christians, not Lutherans. After all, the teaching is not mine. Neither was I crucified for anyone. Let us abolish all party names and call ourselves Christian." But the name "Lutheran" stuck, and many became proud to identify with the renewal of the core teaching of Christianity, that God's saves us by grace, through faith, as a gift with no claim of merit on our part. “I’m a Lutheran” was a monthly profile in "Living Lutheran," featuring ELCA members around the world. The profiles showcase ELCA members in all their diversity, connecting one another through individual faith sto-ries as Lutherans. David Beckmann: President, Bread for the World I’m a Lutheran and I thank God that U.S. Lutherans have persistently focused on reduc-ing hunger for the last 45 years. ELCA World Hunger and the ELCA advocacy program do great work, and thousands of ELCA congregations support Bread for the World and write letters to Congress. U.S. Lutherans have contributed significantly to the progress that has been made toward the end of hunger in our country and the world.. Una Bonkrude: Dallas Lutheran Church, Dallas, Wis. Retired elementary school teacher, piano instructor and church organist I'm a Lutheran because I was brought up that way from the beginning and loved it. I never want to change. At age 107, something that has changed in my lifetime is, well, everything. The most important thing that has changed though is transportation. We used to travel with horse and buggy. Telephone has also changed a lot. Hal Colston: Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Jericho, Vt. Occupation: Director, Partnership for Change I'm a Lutheran and I quietly walk with God and listen for God in my life. I believe we are all called at some point in our lives and given opportunities to make a difference. Those opportunities are called days. We get them one at a time with no promise for tomorrow.

Wendy Davidson: St. Timothy Lutheran Church, Naperville, Ill.President of U.S. Special-ty Channels at the Kellogg Co. I'm a Lutheran largely by marriage. I grew up Roman Catholic, attended a Baptist Bible study in high school and a Lutheran college. Our children have grown up Lutheran and have attended Episcopal and now Catholic schools. We’ve often told them that faith is like a candy bar—it’s less about the wrapper on the outside and more about the content in the middle. Their relationship with God, their community and living true to their purpose are what matter the most. I believe the world is a lot smaller than it seems and we share more in common than we differ. From my first experience studying abroad in college, hosting an

exchange student from Japan in our home, and now leading a global business—the value of sitting around a table, exploring foods from other cultures and sharing stories brings the world together in ways more im-portant than ever.

I’m A Lutheran


Greta Grosch: Incarnation Lutheran Church, Shoreview, Minn. Actor, writer, director, motivation-al speaker I'm a Lutheran by baptism and by choice. I was raised a Lutheran and confirmed a Lutheran. As an adult, I took a Lutheran basics class. As each piece of our Lutheran theology was discussed, I thought, “Yes, that is what I believe.” I am a sinner, saved by grace. What an enormous relief. Miriam Ruth Hernandez: Hill Avenue Grace Lutheran Church, Pasadena, Calif.: News broad-caster. I'm a Lutheran for life. One of the more important stories I’ve reported recently was the trial of a serial killer. Here was a man whose wife was devoutly Christian. He knew all the right words to gain the trust of his victims. It took exceeding persistence by highly devoted public servants to capture this predator, who had appeared to be a regular guy. I witnessed faith and grace among 10 victims’ family members, who had waited decades for justice. Khadijah Islam: Journey Lutheran Church, Onalaska, Wis., and Common Ground Campus Min-istry Junior psychology major at the University of Wisconsin—La Crosse I'm a Lutheran because I believe I’m living my life in response to an awesome and unfathomable gift that I did nothing to earn but that has saved me from everything. If I can share that gift with even one person, then it will have felt worthwhile. Joshua Jerome: Christus Rex Lutheran Campus Center, Grand Forks, N.D. Custodian at Grand Forks Air Force Base; Special Olympics Nation- al and World Games gold medalist in the 4x400 relay.: I'm a Lutheran because I feel like I fit in at my church and everyone understands me. I don’t feel different. It’s a community of friendships, God’s word and singing. It’s a place that makes me hap-py to go to and I think that is what being Lutheran is about. Kathryn (Kate) Koob: Zion Lutheran Church, Waterloo, Iowa. Retired U.S. Foreign Service of-ficer. I'm a Lutheran in part because I was raised in the Lutheran faith, but even more because I love being part of a church that believes in teaching the vastness of God’s love and forgiveness, and that the Spirit can fill my life each day with the gift of grace. Alex Lawrence: Administrative Director of Services and Food for the Home-less, Trinity Lower East Side Lutheran Parish, New York City I’m a Lutheran and I’m here to serve. I share my faith through service at my job. I also take any chance to talk about how I’m part of an organization that helps so many people in a loving and safe environment. New York City may be full of inclusive places, but I know that’s not the reality across the country. Offering that to others and spreading the message of inclusivity is so im-portant. Kylie Oversen: Christus Rex Lutheran Campus Center, University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, Law student, state representative and chair of the North Dakota Democratic-Nonpartisan League Party I'm a Lutheran because I believe the church should be a welcoming and inclusive place for all, and I’ve found that place in my Lutheran church.

Howard Stendahl: Retired two-star general, chief of chaplains of the U.S. Air Force I'm a Lutheran because I didn’t have a choice! My mother and father took me to church, even when my brothers and I would’ve chosen to do otherwise. How grateful I am! I wasn’t born to them by my choice, but by God’s grace. I wasn’t baptized because I chose to be, but by God’s grace. I am merely a recipient of the life-giving gospel and have enjoyed a lifetime of pastoral opportunity to say

thank you. John Sterner: Christ Lutheran Church, Cottonwood, Minn. Kindergarten through 12th-grade art teacher, athletic coach and artist I'm a Lutheran because in this church I’ve been allowed and encouraged to ask questions about my faith, which have been welcomed with open and thoughtful conversations about our God. Rick Steves: Trinity Lutheran Church, Lynnwood, Wash. Travel writer and TV host. I'm a Lutheran because it fits my personality—pack light; keep it simple; em-brace life; celebrate diversity; jettison needless rules; stand up to authority when the truth needs a hand; and dance through the blessing of life on Earth like a child in God’s eyes. Margretta Williams: Peace Lutheran Church, Waldorf, Md.: Flutist/instrumental music teacher. I'm a Lutheran because of the enduring message of grace woven into every aspect of our faith. I pray each morning (hopefully before I encounter other humans) for discernment and compassion—and courage.

Why are YOU a Lutheran? Try hand at answering that question. Talk to your friends about your answer, and send it in to [email protected]. We may publish your words in a coming edition of The Tidings!
