“It’s Friday but Sunday’s Coming’” is the title of a book written by

Tony Campolo that speaks well to our situation. As people of God,

we know what Good Friday looks like: dismal, dank, and death. We

also know what Sunday looks like: empty tomb, folded clothes, and

risen Lord!

Right now, our congregation is experiencing one of its greatest

challenges: mandatory compliance with County zoning laws, which

can/will be done at great cost. The good news is that we had saved

some money in the reserve fund, to be ready for the failure of old

equipment. All $211,000 of that money will be required to complete

this project. We received an offer to buy-out the cell tower lease

from the Gold Canyon tower of $210,000 paid over three years. All

of that money will be required to complete the project. Due to your

generosity over the past several years (thank you!) we carried a

surplus of about $88,000 forward from last year. All of that money

will be required, too.

A few months ago, in order to reduce an accumulated, $100,000 fine

to $1,000, we entered into a revised agreement with Maricopa

County, which required us to be up to 2014 code. This required

compliance will cost significantly more than originally anticipated.

As your elected leaders, we have sought to effectively manage both

the project and the funds to help us reach the other side. The one

thing we have not done, is specifically ask you, all of the people who

are together Our Savior’s Lutheran, for your help. Quite literally,

without you, there is no Our Savior’s Lutheran.

Having exhausted nearly every dollar available while at the same

time seeking to provide the worship, mission, and service you have

come to expect from Our Savior’s Lutheran, we really need your

help.

PRAY – that we might receive the permits and be allowed to

retain some of the good work of the past;

SUPPORT – those on whom this burden has fallen, that they

might have the strength and endurance to see this through,

despite all the obstacles;

GIVE – of your finances, if God has placed you in a position to be

generous. Please designate: Parking Lot Fund.

Thank you in advance for your generous, timely support!

East Mesa Coordinating Committee

April 8, 2019 EM Coordinating Committee (CC) Meeting Write up Time: 7pm –8:20pm

Attending: Pastor Bill, Pastor Tina, Kim McCracken, Cindy Reichert, Linda Gerke, Phyllis Edmond, Richard

Falk, Robin Tomlinson, Ron Rock, Susan Drane, John Weber, and Mike Kraklow

Mike opened with prayer

Mike – Due to people leaving, there are two job openings in the office. The Personnel Committee will be

interviewing four candidates for the Business Manager position this week and the two candidates for the

Communication Coordinator position next week. Information on the role of the Coordinating Committee and

how this committee was defined in the congregation approved constitution was handed out. Any changes to

the constitution must be approved by the congregation. Under Care, it was recommended to remove Cancer

Support, Alzheimer Support, Care Hearts & Hands, and the CD Ministry. These programs are not active

anymore. It was also recommended by Richard Falk to move I-Help from Care to Missions. Family Promise is

a relatively new program so it is not listed in the constitution. Richard recommended this program be placed

under missions. Both I-Help and Family Promise are more in line with Missions than Care. It was recom-

mended that CAAFA and the Shoe Drive be removed. Richard suggested the Shoe Drive program be replaced

with Concordia Charter School. Any changes to the constitution must be approved by the Council

and voted upon/approved by the Congregation; Action Point now or later.

Robin – Family Promise – The next Family Promise event will be Sunday August 18th through Sunday

August 25th.

Linda – I-Help – Maricopa County and East Mesa Fire department officials inspected the Community room

and Kitchen in regards to the I-Help program. It was recommended that another smoke alarm be installed

and a new battery be installed for the exit sign. This will be completed by Dave Reurink. It was recommended

that someone monitor the I-Help ladies during the night in case there is a fire (Fire Watcher). LSS

Management will address this with the fire department officials.

Phyllis – Kitchen – This Wednesday is the last Lenten soup supper. It has been very successful with two

different soups offered. Two large pots and six coffee carafes are needed. This is within the scope of the

kitchen supplies budget and will be purchased.

Ron – A meeting will be held on April 18th to see if a variance will be approved to accept the existing parking

lot lighting, current parking configuration, and to allow no fence along Weir Street.

Mike – Property – The status of the “to do” list is as follows: The ballast has been ordered for the east

entrance entry lights. Dave has submitted to Home Security a bid for new locks throughout the Church. We

are looking at putting plantings along the southern roof line to prevent climbers onto the roof. There are three

options for child-safe curtains for the nursery. Dave will get with Kim McCracken on this.

Kim – Children, Youth and Family & Discipleship – The Dinner, Movie and Discussion for Hidden

Figures went very well; with 36 people attending. The next Dinner, Movie and Discussion will be held at GC

and will be the movie, “What Dreams May Come.” The Filming of the movie “JOHN LIGHT” in the Chapel

went well. The producers of the movie are asking when we’d like to schedule a viewing. Cub Scout Pack 380

Pinewood Derby was held on March 23rd in the Fellowship Hall. Cindy, Phyllis, Caleb and Lana Sparks

worked the concessions. The Cub Scout Families were very appreciative for the concessions. The Lutheran

Social Services of the Southwest Family Resource - Child Abuse Prevention Event-Super Heroes for Stronger

Families was absolutely wonderful. We had a lot of families with younger children present. We had Rural

Metro and Mesa PD on site and children were encouraged to explore the fire truck and police car. Stevenson

Elementary was here as was Department of Economic Security. The Girl Scouts want to reschedule the

Pinewood Derby for Saturday, October 26th which is Trunk or Treat. We are still discussing this. Girl Scouts

donated several cases of cookies to OSLC. They in turn were donated to I-Help and to the food banks.

Katelyn Gosney, one of the Senior Cadettes of Girl Scouts, earned her Gold Award which is the highest award

to be achieved as a Girl Scout. She did her event here at Our Savior’s and was interviewed by news stations

and had a few articles in the local newspapers. Although, Katelyn and her family are not officially members

of Our Savior’s they do consider themselves part of the Our Savior’s family. Palm Strips will be passed out for

Palm Sunday. There have been a few Easter Lilies purchased. There are plans to order a few extra lilies for

anyone who may want one but do not have the money. I will also leave the baskets out next week, just in

case.

WELCA NEWS

Our daytime circles have suspended meetings until October; however, Sarah Circle meets the 4th Monday of every month at 6:30 pm in the Conference Room at the East Mesa campus. All women are invited to join us at any time. We will provide a copy of the Bible Study for you if you don't subscribe to the Gather Magazine. On May 27th the lesson is An Intergenerational Devotional by Christa von Zychlin. The theme of the June 24, July 22 and August 26 lessons is For Such a Time as This: Lessons From Esther by Kay Ward. In September, we begin a three-month study, Poetry of the Old Testament by Anna Madsen. I am asking all circle leaders to check the WELCA directories, make any corrections and submit them to me by email or text or in my mailbox at the East Mesa campus by the end of May. To all of you who get to escape the Arizona summer heat, have a great summer and we look forward to your return. Susan Drane, President of Our Savior’s WELCA [email protected] 480-980-8316

(Continued from Front Cover)

Normally, we like to have enough reserves to get us through the summer.

Thankfully, we have not had to make an appeal like this for quite some time. As you can

tell, this is no ordinary time.

As congregations and individuals, we are called to follow Jesus faithfully. What that means

can change daily. We always walk by faith. Having exhausted all the

financial resources at hand, there remain two last sources of hope: 1. The grace of God and

2. The generosity and goodwill of the people of God.

As always has been the case, this congregation will continue to move forward in God’s mis-

sion as it always has: by the grace of God and by the faithful support of the people of God.

It feels like Friday, but the promise of the Gospel is and always will be: Sunday’s

coming! May God bless you as you prayerfully consider your role as part of God’s answer

to prayer.

On behalf of the Our Savior’s Lutheran Church family,

Ron Rock, Congregational President Pr. Bill Rindy, Senior Pastor
