WORSHIP IN JUNE

June 5 will find worship with

the summer schedule beginning

and outdoors! From this date until

after Labor Day there will be one

service only at 9:30 a.m. On June 5

the worship will be outdoors on the

front lawn, weather permitting. The

worship setting will be the Chicago

Folk Service.

This is the Sunday before the

Adult Mission Trip, and those going

on the trip will receive a blessing

and sending.

Following worship there will

be a pause for set up for the annual

church picnic. During that time, we

will celebrate the anniversaries and

birthdays occurring in June with

games and fellowship. Cake will be

served at the picnic. See the article

elsewhere about the picnic. This is

also the final day of Vacation Bible

School, ending with a service pro-

ject at Gateway 180. Those who join

the service team will leave from the

worship to go the service project.

June 12 is “Sunday of Soli-

darity.” This Sunday is designated

as a Sunday in our ELCA Central

States Synod to declare our solidari-

ty and hold in prayer our compan-

ion synod, the Kotte District of the

Evangelical Lutheran Church in Pa-

pua New Guinea. This date is cho-

sen because it was in the summer

of 1876 that the first Lutheran mis-

sionary arrived in PNG to begin mis-

sion work. As it turns out, Noah

Hornbeck of Christ Lutheran will be

in PNG with the Companion Synod

team on this Sunday.

June 19 is Father’s Day. We

remember the fathers this day in

the prayers and the service.

The gospel readings in June

are from the seventh and eight

chapters of Luke. We hear of Jesus

in his ministry as he encounters

people of different religious back-

grounds and those who are ill or

dead and works miracles.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

The joint Christ Lutheran and

Emmanuel Episcopal Vacation Bible

School will be held Wednesday

through Friday, June 1-3 with a fam-

ily service opportunity on Sunday,

June 5. Children ages 3 (potty-

trained) through those entering 4th

and will be held from 9 a.m.to noon

Wednesday and Thursday and from

9 a.m. through lunch on Friday

when a lunch of grilled hotdogs and

root beer floats will be served. On

Sunday, June 5, all families are invit-

ed to meet at Emmanuel at 11 a.m.

for a trip to Gateway 180 Homeless

Shelter.

Families from Christ and Em-

manuel will be serving lunch to the

homeless of Gateway 180 on June

5. If you would like to donate a des-

Christ Lutheran—Best Spot in Town for 4th of July Parade Watching

Looking for a great spot to watch the

Webster Groves Community Days Independence

Day parade??? Look no further than Christ Lu-

theran! Not only will you have a great viewing

spot, but there will be a barbeque and potluck

afterwards. Please contact Joan O’Brien if you

can help with set or clean up for that event.

We will also act as hosts to other parade

watchers and participants by opening our

downstairs restrooms for the public’s use dur-

ing the parade. We need members to act as

hosts during that time. We also hand out cool

water to those needing a drink.

Kitchen Crew Reminder The Kitchen Crew has been busy! Check

out the table in the Fellowship Hall for any

items that might belong to you!

Please recycle plastic cups in the tubs

next to trash cans in the Fellowship Hall.

Thanks for your cooperation!

Adult Mission Trip Adults from Christ Lutheran will be join-

ing several others from Emmanuel Episcopal for

the combined Adult Mission Trip to Mission,

South Dakota. The group returns each year to

do either building work or fix up and clean up

in the community. There is normally a partial

day for a group activity. Mission is located at

the heart of the Rosebud Reservation. The

group stays at the site of the former Bishop

Hare Mission School. The dates of the week are

June 11-18.

Again this year they are looking for do-

nations of cloth yardage to take to the quilters

on the reservation. The yardage should be at

least 3/4 of a yard in length and made of cot-

ton—other materials are not required. Dona-

tions can be put in the box in the narthex.

Central States ELCA Synod Assembly The Central States Synod Assembly is

June 2-4 in Wichita, Kansas. “Giving in Hope” is

the assembly theme. Grace Duddy Pomroy and

the Rev. Len Dale are the keynote speakers.

The assembly begins on Thursday evening with

dinner and worship. Friday's agenda includes

presentations and workshops on giving and

stewardship, as well as the opportunity to en-

joy the River Festival activities that night. It

concludes on Saturday with business and wor-

ship. Pastors Penny and Keith will be attending.

Pastoral Acts

Larry Strahan died in the Lord

in March 25. His memorial service

was at Christ Lutheran on May 7.

Leo Armstrong died in the

Lord on May 3. His funeral was at

Christ Lutheran on May 7 with inter-

ment at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery

on May 9.

We commend Larry and Leo to the hands

of our loving and life-giving God and pray for

comfort and peace for all who mourn them.

Tuesday Morning Bible Study During

the summer months, this class will meet about

once a month at a day, time and location to be

determined. Watch the weekly Sunday bulletins

for a meeting announcement. You are welcome

to join them on any occasion you might like.

Currently they are discussing a concise biog-

raphy of Martin Luther by Lutheran theologian,

Martin Marty, using a study guide, "Martin Lu-

ther's Ninety-Five Theses," edited by Stephen J.

Nichols. Questions? Contact Carolyn Crowe,

314-277-2164.

SOUND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS

Sound system improvements are being

made both in the worship sanctuary and in Fel-

lowship Hall. The improvements will bring the

system into the digital age and provide better

control of sound volume. It will give more

space in the choir loft for the Bell Choir, and

more inputs on the main level for special music

instruments and vocalists. A “sequencer” will

allow the system to power up in a way which

will extend the life of the equipment.

In Fellowship Hall ceiling speakers are

being installed with a new amplifier and inputs

around the room to allow voice and instru-

ments. A feed from the sanctuary will also al-

low sound from the worship area to be heard

downstairs.

The Church Council has approved the

expenditures from the Memorial Fund.

AREA CHURCHES HOPE TO SPONSOR SYRIAN REFUGEE

Several organizations in Webster Groves

had come together hoping to enable Wafaa

Abuelula, a 21-year-old Palestinian Syrian wom-

an to study at Webster University. Wafaa is liv-

ing in Turkey as a refugee from Yarmouk, Syria.

An organization of Christian women, including

Rev. Martie Metzler, serving Emmanuel Episco-

pal in Webster Groves, is sponsoring Wafaa as a

way of doing a small part to help the Syrian ref-

ugee crisis. First Congregational, Emmanuel

Episcopal and Peace UCC congregations have

contributed cash. The Sisters of Loretto have

agreed to give her room and board but more

money is needed for her tuition and books.

Rev. Metlzer is hoping churches and individuals

will help make Wafaa’s dream of a better life

come true.

The women met Wafaa when they trav-

elled to Turkey to work in a refugee camp

where Wafaa lives and has been taking college-

preparatory classes in hopes of coming to the

U.S. In a letter to the sponsoring women Wafaa

writes, “One of the things I learned in the past

two years is that to be able to have a better life

I need to be able to study and earn a degree

from University. The opportunities in Turkey

are not very good especially for a Palestinian/

Syrian girl. . . I would be so grateful if you were

willing to help me achieve this.”

For more information or to make a con-

tribution contact the church office (314-962-

6011) or the pastors.

SAVE THE DATES!

Saturday, August 6th will be a Day in the Country at the O’Briens’ home near St. Clair,

Missouri. A beautiful oasis in Ozark country with lake and river views is the backdrop for this

fun fellowship event. There is time for fishing, swimming, floating on the Meramec and so

much more. More information will be available in the July newsletter. Mark August 6 on your

calendar!

You definitely don’t want to miss the next “Potluck and Praise” night on August 13th.

Check out the picture of the first one to see all the happenings . We will be blessing the back-

packs as we prepare to send our little one’s back to school!

I look at the June church calendar

and I see many activities planned for the

month. We have Vacation Bible School with

the service trip to Gateway 180 Shelter.

Noah Hornbeck will be leaving for the Com-

panion Synod trip to Papua New Guinea.

There will be several leaving for the adult

mission trip to South Dakota. Senior high

youth will be making plans for their mis-

sion trip to the Group Work Camp in Ham-

mond, IN in July. Meanwhile we will have a

church picnic and a family pool party and

our Junior high youth will be going to Con-

firmation Camp. We pastors will be attend-

ing the synod assembly, also.

Many of these activities are ways to

reach out to be in mission and to connect

with other Christians. They help to bring

the fellowship of Christ to others, as well

as to help and bring healing to the world.

These kinds of things are important for liv-

ing out the Christian life.

It is hard to have the motivation and

determination to do the connecting and

serving without the strength we receive

from one another. We need the community

of worship, of picnics and pool parties to

have a base from which to reach out and

serve. We do better together when we

grow together and build up one another.

It’s good to have a balance in what

we do. We can stretch ourselves too thin

and become weary if we are in service con-

tinually and have no way to strengthen our

spirits. If we spend the greater share of

our time in fellowship and personal spiritu-

al growth, but do not exercise it in service,

we miss out on the opportunity to reach

out in love as Jesus has called us to.

June is a good month to do both. We

have good opportunities for fellowship, but

also to serve. As we keep them in balance,

we are healthy to live the faith.

Peace in Christ,

Pr. Keith

“In Community to Serve”

NOAH HORNBECK LEAVES FOR PAPUA NEW GUINEA JUNE 8

Noah Hornbeck, recent graduate from

Webster Groves High School, will be leaving

June 8 for his two-week trip to visit Papua New

Guinea, a nation occupying the eastern half of

the island of New Guinea, situated north of

Australia. Noah will be accompanied by four

other youth and three adults as they represent

the Central States Synod in the Kote District of

the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New

Guinea (ELCPNG), which is one of our compan-

ion synods.

Noah put his own money toward the

cost and the congregation made significant

donations to help him meet his goal of

$1,500. The group will spend a few days at

the beginning and end of the trip in Australia

but most of the time they will spend traveling

through the countryside, meeting PNG youth

and attending the ELCPNG youth convention.

REFORMATION TRIPS TO GERMANY

Rob Schainker of Gethsemane Lutheran

is sponsoring a trip to Germany during the

500th anniversary year of the Lutheran Refor-

mation. The 12-day trip begins in Berlin and

ends in Munich with Lutheran cities including

Wittenberg in between. Schainker works with

Jan’s Travel. The trip is a Globus tour. Dates

are June 8-18, 2017. Price is $2,886 land only.

Contact Rob at 314-965-1005 or at rschain-

ker@janstravel.com. Pr. Keith has a copy of the

itinerary to share, also.

Word will be coming soon about addi-

tional Reformation anniversary trips being of-

fered through the Central States Synod.

Contact Joan O’Brien if you are interest-

ed in a trip based with Christ Lutheran.

“And the Lord went before them by

day in a pillar of cloud to

lead them along the way,

and by night in a pillar of

fire to give them light

that they might travel by

day and by night.” Exo-

dus 13:21 God led the

people of Israel out of

Egypt and He continues

to lead us by day and by

night.

The Women’s

Group enjoyed a picnic at Memorial Park in

Brentwood in May. Our women deserve

“exceptional merit as originators.” The par-

ticipants who attended will probably be able

to decipher the meaning

of the phrase for you.

God truly led us that

day. Showers were pre-

dicted, but it did not

rain until we were safely

back in our automo-

biles, prepared to go

our separate ways. Re-

member God does lead

us—all we need to do is

follow! (The Women’s

Group is on summer hi-

atus until September.

See You in Church!
