In the words of the Oglala Lakota:Mitakuya Oyasin

(We Are All Related)

Ten members of FPC spent the first week of June on a missiontrip to Re-Member in South Dakota. They were (picture left toright), Hailey Franzen, Tiffany Horvath, Claire Eppel, CresaWilson, Juleann Miller, Carly Miller, Aly Cuppy, PendezaEtandu, Pam Paulsen and Elisabeth Riedesel.

Director of Christian Education, Tiffany Horvath, who organizedthe trip shared, “The most important message I would like toshare with the congregation and the one that resonated with methe most is the fact that we are all one people. Prejudice and bigotry can become obsolete when we realize we are all formedin the likeness of the Great Spirit—God. In the words of theOglala Lakota: Mitakuya Oyasin (We Are All Related).”

She reflected that, “The times when I felt closest to God waswhen we started or concluded our day with our prayer circle ofFPC Youth. We all took a moment of peace in an otherwise busyand hectic schedule to reflect on God and what he has done foreach of us and continues to do, using our hands to do his workin the world. Knowing we came to Re-Member to serve, and tolisten, in His name really helped to bring us all closer to Him.”

Youth participants Elisabeth Riedesel and Carly Miller responded to the question, ‘What is the most important messageyou would like to share with the congregation about your mission trip experience?’ with these insights:

Riedesel, “To the first question I would like to share; to fix is tosay it is broken, to help is to imply it useless but to serve showsthat you really care and expect nothing back.”

Miller, “Something I learned while being on the Rez was to nottake things for granted, because we do everyday, from havingwater to drink to having clothes on our backs. It's really easy totake simple everyday things for granted and I've learned to bemore thankful for them.”

Riedesel added, “I would have to say I did feel God’s presence, on several occasions too. I felt God’spresence every time one of the Lakota people came to share a bit of their culture with us, becausethey took the time out of their day to speak to us and with us.”

Juleann Miller shared that, “I learned that the indigenous people of Turtle Island (USA) were mostlikely some of the first holistic practitioners. They practice balance and harmony for the body, mindand spirit.” (story continued inside on page 3)

Out the Study Window by Rev. Richard Miller

Reflections on Romans 12:3 – Who is Important?There’s a story of a newly elected politician who went to our nation’s capital toget acquainted with the place. At the home of a high-ranking senator he wastrying to get the feel of the great city and all he anticipated he would be able to accomplish. He greatly admired his host and spoke of his owngrandiose intentions and plans.

As they looked out over the Potomac River, they noticed a log floating downstream. It was rotten, old, deteriorating, obviously of no worth. The older senator remarked to his young friend, “Youknow, that log is a perfect example of what this city is, and what our nation is becoming.”

“How’s that?” asked his young friend.

“Well you see, there are probably hundreds of grub worms, no telling how many ants, and bugs and critters of aboutevery kind you can name, and they’re just floating down the stream on that rotten old log,” stated the elder statesman.

“Well, how’s that like this city?” the young man wondered aloud.

“It’s simple,” replied the senior senator, “Everyone of those critters thinks he’s steering the log.”

Now I am not really interested in bemoaning politicians or government. I just think it is true that in almost every areaof life ambition often outruns reality. It is the meek who inherit the earth, not the mighty. It is the poor in spirit whotruly enjoy God — not the arrogant and haughty.

Paul summed all this up for us quite nicely: “For by the grace given to me, I say to everyoneamong you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with soberjudgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.” - Romans 12:3

One work day we planted Ponderosa Pine trees in a remote area of the Rez outside of PineRidge. This area was burned in a grass fire two years ago and all the trees were destroyed. Weplanted 1,050 trees with Henry Red Cloud who is working on sustainability on the Rez. Theproject was completed the next day by another crew, so that in all 10,000 trees were planted.

We skirted a trailer home that had rottenwood at the base. We applied cement styro-foam that will help decrease propane heat useby at least 35% this winter. This trailer wouldmost likely be condemned if located off of the reservation. Another crewadded two decks to the trailer later that week.

One work day included putting together outhouses as manypeople do not have running water on the Rez. We had a productive day cutting 2x2s for the sides and top of the outhouses. We framed out 14 outhouses and finished fourcomplete outhouses. This was great team work. Many peoplelearned how to work with power tools safely. :)

Mitakuya Oyasin ( story continued from cover)Miller also highlights, “Prayer and centering are important throughout the day ending in prayer and thanksgiving.

“The Oglala Lakota are confused by the European and white peoplefixation with ownership of the land-the land and all things are giftsfrom God the Creator.

“The red people are a matriarchal society where women are reveredand respected. There is training for all young women and men forfour years to learn their important roles.

“The white people have broken all their promises. We learned especially about the Badlands National Park that was taken from12,000 families and they were left destitute to relocate with no compensation. They were promised ½ of the proceeds from the parkand to this day they have received nothing.

“The Black Hill which is central to the Sioux creation story hasbeen taken from the people and money is sitting in the bank. Thenative people do not want the money, they want their land back.

“We heard many stories, personal ones of native Americans being assimilated into boarding schools in the early to mid 1900s and theywere not allowed to practice their language or culture. It was knownas Kill the Indian/man but save the child. Atrocities occurred in theschools and continue to occur with racism. Children from the reservation who earned the gift of a baseball game in Cedar Rapidswere dumped on with beer by white people that were in the tier above them this year. The children had to leave the game and wondered why people hated them so much.

“Young children and teenagers are killing themselves at an alarming rate on the reservation, 11 times the national average this year. They feel despair, hate and have no hope.”

In the words of the Oglala Lakota: Mitakuya Oyasin (We Are All Related)

Since there needs to be twoteachers in every class, this means each grade level needs four teachers mini-mum, with a list of people to be substitutes as well. With grades divided intofive groups, we need a minimum of 20 volunteers each week. PLEASE letTiffany know if this is something you are interested in. Her email is horvath@fpcdavenport.org and her phone number is 563-326-1691. God Bless You.
