Last Day of Sunday School

for the 2014-15 Year The year-end celebration centered

around getting ready for VBS in June.

Each table was given a picture to color

for the theme of SonSpark Labs for

Vacation Bible School. Very colorful

and creative!!

Sparky—the lab!

JUNE 2015 • PRINTS OF PEACE 2

Bishop Mansholt spoke at the 2015

Synod Assembly.

Next Steps Prince of Peace took some big steps at our Spring Congregational meeting on

May 17. We named a Call Committee, which is composed of members whose names

were submitted by us all. We had over 50 names submitted. All great candidates, but

constitutionally we could only choose 6 and they are: Kris Gurholt, Sue Evers, Erin

Larson, Pat Hayes, Joel Landsverk and Andrew Skowanderson. Their first order of

business will be meeting with our Bishop Gerald Mansholt or his representatives,

choosing a chairperson and assembling information that will be helpful for the synod to

review in order to bring us the most appropriate candidates. Two of our Council

members, Mike Kalinowski and Peggy Miller-Kinderman, will serve as liaisons. Dean Gruner will help in the initial stages to

give some pointers and help them get organized and then he will step away. We should be excited about all the varied gifts,

skills, experiences and perspectives they all share. They will represent us well. Let us keep them in our prayers.

Another major event that occurred at the Spring Congregational meeting was receiving from Long Range Planning

an update of our soon-to-be-completed discernment process. This will result in a report that should be finalized very soon

(perhaps by the time you receive this) and will give us a great pulse of where we are and powerful direction on where we are

headed as a congregation in the months and years to come, as well as providing valuable input for us as we seek to call a

second pastor. Thank the members of Long Range Planning for their numerous meetings and tireless hours of work. They

are: Kerry Arnold, chair; Steve Mayer, Sue Evers, Nancy Scheuerman, Randy Bullock and Cindy Romnek. Pastor Dave

Daubert from Day 8 Strategies has helped to guide the process, but it isn’t his report. It is what the Holy Spirit has led us all

to contribute. It is our report. After it reaches its final form in a few weeks it will be turned over to Council for their prayerful

discernment, deliberation and decision-making.

Other things that await us in the coming months are: saying goodbye on Sunday, August 9 to Cheryl Davis as our

Intern. She has been such a blessing to us and the people of Our Savior’s in Neenah, and will be a great blessing to the

Church at large. Thank you so much for how you have welcomed and supported her, as she has stepped into her growing

pastoral role. It has been so much fun and such a joy working with her and seeing your interactions with her.

There is much more simmering on the back burner, but not quite ready to be served yet, such as innovative ways to

involve youth in worship, a hospitality video that we are producing, introducing a Narrative Lectionary in the fall to enable

adults and children to study the same stories of the Bible together, changes to Cindy, Gloria and Katie’s job descriptions to

align more closely with our growing and future areas of ministry, as well as saying hello to our new Choir Director, Cathy

Hewitt, who will start her ministry with us in July. Take some time to rest and refresh yourself this summer! If you are

traveling, be safe and worship as you travel. Bring back a bulletin and we’ll post it on our display boards.

Joy,

Condolences to an Old Friend In January 1976, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church sponsored Sia & Mao Vang. They were the first Hmong couple along with

their children to come to Appleton. Members of PoP, Harold and Donna Baerenwald, took care of the family by introducing

them to the area and helping Sia find a job at Borsche Roofing and later, Riverside Paper Mill. Sia Vang and his seven

children are mourning the deaths of his 97 year old mother, Ly Vang who passed away on May 3rd and his 59 year old wife,

Mao Vang who passed away on May 11th. They are asking for your prayers for strength through this difficult time and for

God’s peace.

Ly Vang’s visitation will be at Richmond Hall Hmong Funeral, 2531 N. Richmond Street in Appleton on May 30th and 31st at

9:00 a.m. Mao Vang’s visitation and funeral will be held at Valley Funeral Home, 2211 N. Richmond Street in Appleton at

9:00 a.m. June 13th and 14th with burial to follow on June 15th at Oak Hill Cemetery in Neenah.

June is Personal Care Kit Month Lutheran World Relief is in urgent need of Personal Care Kits due to the

Nepal earthquake and other disasters in the world. Currently they have

more requests than they have kits to fill them.

When natural disaster strikes or political conflict flares, families often have

little chance to gather their belongings before fleeing the danger. They

arrive in a refugee camp or other place of safety scared, vulnerable and

dirty from the travel. The simple items included in a Personal Care Kit allow

them to wash away the dirt and sweat, with the fresh scent of soap and the

softness of a towel as reminders of someone’s care and concern for them in

their plight.

Please consider bringing the items mentioned below to church with you

some Sunday.

The items needed are Light weight bath-size towels (maximum 52” X 27”), dark color

recommended, new or gently used.

Bath-size bars (4 to 5 oz.) of soap, any brand, in original wrapping

Metal nail clippers (attached file optional)

Sturdy combs (no picks or fine toothed combs)

Adult size toothbrush

Items may be put on the white rack in the storage room behind the library.

If you prefer to give a monetary donation, please make checks payable to

WELCA, noting LWR Kits, and send to Jeannine Bultman, W6072 Cornflower

Drive, Appleton, WI 54915

Baskets of Promise—Thank you! Thank you! A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the “Baskets of Promise

Lenten Appeal” (Personal Care Kits). We collected items to make up 45

kits. Currently they have more requests from around the world than they

have kits to fill them. SO THE NEED IS GREAT.

Thank you to Karen Peckham for running the Baskets of Promise during

Lent. Also thanks to Anne Jackson and Leah Johnson for helping pack the

kits.

Christmas in August

Looking for a worthwhile project to dig into? Christmas in August is right around the corner. This is

the 20th anniversary of this program. It was organized as a way for families to experience and

teach the joy of giving, while at the same time providing a needed service in the community. This

project partners Social Concerns Ministry and Outagamie County Health and Human Services to

provide 100 area K through 8th grade children with new jeans, t-shirt, sweatshirt, haircut and

shoes so that they can start the fall school year looking good and feeling good about themselves.

Take the opportunity to shop with your children or grandchildren, knowing that the clothes they are picking out will

make a less fortunate child excited to go back to school. This worthwhile project cannot be successful without your

help and active participation. Keep an eye out for the Christmas trees in the entryways in late June. Please take an

ornament or two, purchase the item and place it back in the boxes provided with the ornament attached by August

9th OR take a cash envelope and place it in the collection plate during any service.

Call or email Nette Kimball at 920-851-4032, nettekimball@yahoo.com if you have any questions or would like to

volunteer to help with the behind the scenes action.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Box Tops Thank you for saving the box tops and

labels for education. The collection box is

located in the hallway above the

mailboxes across from the offices. Please

check the expiration date on the box

tops. General Mills will NOT accept box

tops that have expired.

We appreciate your support! Each box top is worth $.10 and

they add up fast. The teachers can use this money for things

not covered in their budget.

Prayer Shawls Summer Break The prayer shawl group is going on our summer

break. This doesn't mean we don't need new people

who want to knit or crochet prayer shawls. We

continue to make shawls all summer long. So if you

need a pattern or some yarn, get in touch with Pam

Christianson. We currently have 8 people making

shawls so we would appreciate anybody who would

like to help us. We meet the 2nd and the 4th

Tuesdays of the month from September through

May. Watch for an announcement in the August

newsletter when we start up again in September.

Please contact Pam at 920-540-4229 or email her

at pamchristianson1@gmail.com .

Community Clothes Closet Thank you for your generosity! Our spring collection

drive was an amazing success! We were able to

donate 200 pounds of clothing. That's 200 pounds

of business suits, shirts, shorts, pants, dresses and

shoes. Thank you for helping our neighbors in need.

God bless!

Let's Stock Up St. Joe's

Food Pantry! Did you know our congregation

lost 300 pounds in March? Well,

you would be surprised to learn

that our congregation donated 300 pounds of food

on our drive in the spring. Amazing! Let's see if we

can exceed that amount for our summer drive.

The Social Concerns Ministry team will hand out

bags on Sunday, May 31. Please fill the bag and

return it on Sunday, June 7th. If you cannot make it

to church when bags are passed out, feel free to

use any bag you have at home. You can leave the

bag in the entry way to the church. Please call or

email Nette Kimball at nettekimball@yahoo.com or

920-851-4032 with any questions or for additional

information.

Prince of Peace Lutheran Church is happy to

cooperate with many churches in the Fox Cities on a

joint food pantry. St. Joseph Food Pantry was

started in 1982 and weekly distributes 30 tons of

fresh food and non-perishable items to hundreds of

men, women, children, elderly, working poor and

unemployed. Through the years, they have created

an effective system for churches and local agencies

to cooperate and care for our needy in the Fox

Cities. We are blessed to be part of this vital

network. PoP collects food each quarter. We ask

you to pray for those people in need.

Library Corner Check out these new titles

Remembering by Carol M. Barton

Carol Barton shares her life which started during the depression

years on a farm. From a one room school house she moved to a

small town during the war years, graduated and found a job in a

big city at the age of 16 and married the love of her life. God’s

plan unfolds as the Barton family of 6 leaves Appleton to become

missionaries in what was Papaua, New Guinea. Returning to the

US, they served a new ministry focus: the Lutheran Church

Extension Fund. Follow the author as she remembers her 80

years of following God’s purpose in her life.

The Thorn by Beverly Lewis

The first book in the Rose Trilogy follows two Amish sisters divided

by one sister’s impulsive marriage to an outsider. She longs for the

old ways she left behind while the other is unsure of her own heart

as she is torn between two men.

For Children

It Will Be Okay, Trusting GOD Through Fear and Change by Lysa

TerKeurst

Little Seed and Little Fox face fears, changes and brand-new

things. Do they like it? Not one bit, but the unlikely friends discover

that God is with them when things are new or frightening and that

if they trust Him, He will bring them through changes because He

loves them and in the end, it really will be okay.

Piano Needs Good Home A PoP family is looking to find a new home for their piano! It's in

good shape, but probably needs tuning. If you or your family would

like a good piano for free, contact Gloria Allhiser at

popyouthmin@gmail.com.

JUNE 2015 • PRINTS OF PEACE 8

Using Your “Motivational Gifts” at Prince of Peace

Have you ever thought about spiritual gifts as “motivational

gifts?” Our gifts are the motivation behind our service. They are

the passion we feel; the energy that comes when we are acting

on something we care about. The same compassion that moved

Jesus. Spiritual gifts were never intended to be personal but

corporate. Our gifts are for the body. To serve. To build up. To fill

a need and bridge a gap. That is how God desires us to use our

gifts. To motivate and connect within and outside the Prince of

Peace walls. All members of Prince of Peace need to come

together to build the body of Christ for now and future

generations!

We encourage you to evaluate how you are serving God at this

time. Are you serving in a ministry in the church? Are you using

your spiritual gifts at a school, hospital, Habitat for Humanity,

Feed My Starving Children or some place in the community?

Search your hearts, lives and experiences to determine how God

has called you to serve Him!

Helping Hands Outreach How can we reach out to one another as Christians

this summer? Ask yourself what you can do for one

another? Helping Hands is a great outreach to

provide connections among our fellow members! Remember the next

time you or someone is in need, call one of the Helping Hands

leaders. Reach out and touch someone!

Summer Fellowship in Between Worship Services The Witness Ministry is happy to be hosting the “refreshment”

fellowship time in between worship services this summer. We will be

providing a different breakfast item each week with a good will

offering. This is a great opportunity for fellowship at Prince of Peace!

Prince of Peace Camping Weekend Join us for a relaxing weekend of camping and

fellowship! Mark your calendars for July 10-12

at Calumet County Park in Hilbert. We have

reserved campsites for members to set up their

campers for the weekend. The cost is $52.00

for the weekend. If you are not able to join us

for the overnight camping, please consider

joining us for the evening worship service and

community meal/potluck at the campground. For more information,

contact Eric & Brigetta Wingender – 460-4205 or Bob & Sarah

Koester – 470-2689.

FLAT JESUS

Flat Jesus is one of the Prince of

Peace summer take home

missions. It is a fun way for

the whole congregation,

to keep connected as a

community of faith during

the summer months.

Flat Jesus is a physical

reminder that Jesus is always

with us (Matthew 28:20), and

that we are always connected

with one another as the body

of Christ (1Corinthians 12:12-26).

What do I do with Flat Jesus? Cut out Flat Jesus,

decorate him, and take him with you during your

travels near and far (or send him to someone

else). Bring Flat Jesus to the park, library,

Brewer’s game, the Wisconsin State Fair, Door

County, etc. “Snail mail” Flat Jesus to family and

friends who live far away, or people you know

who are traveling to interesting or faraway

places.

Don’t forget to share the adventures of Flat

Jesus by emailing pictures (and stories!) to

cindyromnek@new.rr.com, and look for your

photos and everyone else’s on the large Flat

Jesus display on Sunday mornings. We will also

post Flat Jesus on the PoP Facebook page. Flat

Jesus is available at the PoP “Welcome” window

in the narthex.

Imagine a home where every person feels loved, valued, and heard. Imagine a family that seeks God's

wisdom, will and Word together. Imagine an intimate, affectionate community where every night is an

experience of caring, sharing, comfort and peace. Now, imagine that this is YOUR family! Does this sound like

an impossible dream? It's not, and you can start...tonight. If you're interested in seeing how a simple nightly

"enrichual" can completely change the life of your family, talk with Gloria Allhiser or Katie Witt!

BEING FULLY PRESENT WITH YOUR CHILD (Taken from For Heaven’s Sake! Parenting Preschoolers Faithfully by Marilyn Sharpe, pp. 16-17)

Remember a person who has taken time with you, given you undivided attention, and modeled what it is to be

fully present? You probably felt valued, cared about and loved. You knew you mattered. How can we do this for

our children?

▪ Be fully attentive. Turn off the TV, radio, computer and MP3 player. Stay off the phone.

▪ Go to a quiet place, without others present.

▪ Face your child. Be on the same level. Crouch down or hold them in your lap.

▪ Look into that precious face. Look into your child’s eyes.

▪ Turn off your mind to all of the other tasks you need to remember or

accomplish. Just be there. The message your unhurried presence delivers is,

“You are important and I love you.”

Fox Valley Lutheran Homes

June 2015 “Friend-Raiser”

Linwood Place Apartments and Linwood Commons are

places that you need to check out if you’ve never been to

Fox Valley Lutheran Homes or if perhaps it’s been a long

time. YOU are invited to our June “Friend-raiser” month on

any Tuesday or Wednesday during the month of June

between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.!

You’ve all heard of fundraisers; you’re probably sick of

fundraisers. This is different! We want you to come, see

our facility, meet the staff, meet some of our tenants, and

become a friend. If you’d like to volunteer, we have a

variety of ways in which you could help us, from skilled

computer and office work, to answering the door and

phones, to visiting with tenants, playing games and more.

Talk to Becky Luett for more information.
