Pastor’s Page: If These Walls Could Talk…

While our pastors

are taking some time off

this summer, we are

featuring a guest column

written by our

church building.

i there! This is your church building. How can a church

building write a newsletter article? Don’t think about it too

much. Just go with it.

So – I thought I was supposed to get a bit of a rest during the

summer? Some peace and quiet? I guess I should know better by now.

Often the summers are as hard on me as Christmas or Easter, and this

summer has been no exception! While my preschool section has been

quiet for a few weeks now, the rest of my rooms have been humming

with activity. I’m not complaining, mind you. I like being used. That is

why I was built, right?

I know you enjoy looking out my big picture windows in the

sanctuary at all the undeveloped lumber (I guess you call them “trees”),

but I enjoy taking in the view the other direction. We buildings take

great pride in what occurs within our walls, you see. It has been loads of

fun watching what has been going on this summer here at OHLC.

First, how about those Japanese students? What a lively bunch!

It was fun to hear a language other than English for a change, though

teenage giggling really sounds pretty much the same in every language.

You are kind to open me up to that fantastic program. I enjoyed

providing them a space to meet for their classes as exchange students in

the United States. They left a nice gift for your pastor, too. You’ll have

to check it out on his desk.

And speaking of giggling, Vacation Bible School was really

something. I enjoyed seeing so many kids from the congregation and the

community come and learn about God’s promises as they heard the story

of Daniel. They had a blast! I felt so fancy all gussied up in all my

decorations. It isn’t every day I get to dress up as Babylon! You really

field a wonderful team of volunteers. I saw all the work that went into

VBS long before you opened my doors to the community, and was really

impressed. They worked so hard. Nicely done. And don’t worry about

the pounding I took as all those kids trounced upon the carpet and

bounced off my walls. There’s nothing a church building like me loves

more than to be filled with children. If I get a few bumps and bruises

along the way, so be it.

I’ve seen some other neat things recently, too. For instance, I

saw a woman come back to church after a terrible situation kept her

away from worship services for a while. It brought a tear to my gutters

to see how lovingly she was welcomed back. Very moving. Well done.

To be sure, I see some unpleasant stuff from time to time within

my walls. I’ve seen bickering children and grumpy adults and worse.

We buildings see it all, to be honest. This is why most buildings are

Lutheran in our beliefs regardless of the signs humans put out front – our

observation of humanity makes us proponents of a strong doctrine of

original sin. On the other hand, we see a lot of grace too. I’ve sure seen

a lot of it at OHLC.

I overheard a Bible study a few weeks ago on 1 Peter in which

the Apostle Peter describes Jesus as both a capstone and a cornerstone. I

really appreciated the architectural imagery, as you can imagine. It is

obvious to me that Jesus is indeed the capstone of this congregation. He

is the One that makes everything hold up around here. Jesus is also the

cornerstone, the One on which this building, and this community, is

built. It is an honor to house a people of such vibrant faith, bustling as

you are with what sometimes looks like holy chaos.

In closing, I’d like to remind you that my roof over the education

wing will need to be replaced in the next couple of years, so you might

want to start saving up for that. If you must know, the moss itches like

crazy.

Church Picnic/Outdoor Worship set for August 5th

We will be having one worship

service on Sunday, August 5. It will be

at 11:00 AM, and will be held at the

Muzzall farm (in the large barn used for

the” off-season” farmer’s market, off

Highway 20 and roughly opposite

Monroe Landing Road – turn onto the

little road that goes past the 3 Sisters egg

stand). We will have a simple service

with lots of fun music, and plenty of

time for fellowship and games, the latter

of which may involve a golf-style game

involving cow patties. You won’t want

to miss it! Please bring a side dish or dessert to share.

Call update

We are pleased to report that Pastor Marc Stroud has accepted

the call to serve as part-time Pastor for Caring Ministries at OHLC. He

will officially begin his call on September 1. An installation service is

being planned.

Rally Sunday Ministry Fair

Rally Sunday marks the beginning of the

new program year, with Sunday School and

various other ministries starting up again. Rally

Sunday will be September 9 this year. We’ll

kick things off with a Ministry Fair in the

fellowship hall, featuring fun informational

tables representing the wide variety of ministries

and ministry opportunities here at OHLC. All

ministry leaders are encouraged to begin

planning their table. Everyone else is

encouraged to “come and see” on Sunday,

September 9th!

Gaining ground on our budget

Thank you for your response to our budget shortfall! We gained

some ground in June, catching up on our shortfall by nearly $3,000. This

is especially encouraging as it has come in June, traditionally a meager

month for offerings. We are still, however, about $13,000 behind for the

year, and so we ask you to please continue to prayerfully consider your

giving to OHLC. Let’s keep chipping away at this deficit in support of

our ministry together!

Our place in the universe

“When I look at the galaxies on a clear night, when I look at the incredible brilliance of creation, and think that this is what God is like, then instead of feeling intimidated and diminished by it, I am enlarged,” said author Madeleine L’Engle. “I rejoice that I am a part of it.”

How wonderful — and mysterious — that the Creator of the universe not only knows and loves us but wants us to know and love him! Incredibly, we are at once infinitesimally small and yet immeasurably significant because of whose we are.

- The Newsletter Newsletter, August 2012

The deadline for articles for the September [Ed. Note: Eeeeeek!]

newsletter is Tuesday, August 21.

Included in this newsletter are Prayer Ventures and The Spirit for

August.

Growing & Learning

All generations, bound together in love and in the Lord

uly was a thunderous month! There were so many people that

worked in the education wing for several weeks to create the

backdrops and sets for Vacation Bible School. As the lights

flickered and the thunder rumbled, murals were painted and walls

were built. Crafts were prepared. A pile of laundry lay in my living

room, being washed, dried and sorted into costumes for children and

volunteers alike. As we prepared for VBS, I realized that August was

almost here. I realized that means that the end of summer is in sight. I

have been making notes. I have been making schedules and calendar

ideas for youth and volunteers. I hope to simplify some of the volun-

teering that happens for the youth of the church. I know that many

people work many hours on behalf of our youth and walk away without

knowing if anyone sees the effort. I see it, and want to keep seeing it and

I want to say a hearty thank you!

Why is VBS so important? The obvious answer is that it

supports the children of our church in their faith. They create fun,

bonding memories made with their peers at church. It’s also a vital

outreach to the community and a way to bring new people into contact

with OHLC and – more importantly – with Christ. It’s an outreach to the

greater community. Our VBS has the potential to reach many families

that may not belong to a church and may not know the power of faith.

What is outreach? How can we strengthen our outreach to each other

across the generations? I saw elders making art for the youth coming to

VBS to enjoy. I, in my middle years, enjoyed fellowship with helpers of

all ages as we prepared the crafts. My mother and I sat on the couch

together, mending costumes. I am looking forward to spending some

time making a craft with all the visiting young people, offering a smile,

the message, and some art-making.

This August, as we near the start of a new school year and the

planning begins for the coming year of LuthYouth activities, I hope we

can remember that there is power in all the generations here at OHLC.

The lines from the song “Bind us together, Lord, bind us together, Lord,

bind us together in Love,” keep running through my mind as I work. I

hope to help in the work of outreach this coming year. VBS will be over

by the time you read this newsletter. I hope our work will have touched

a heart.

In peace, Stephany Vogel

Thanks to our VBS Crew!

hanks to everyone who helped out with our Vacation Bible School

this year. Special thanks go to Cheryl Blevins for all her hard work

as our director. Our theme this year was “Babylon: Daniel’s Courage in

Captivity.” The children learned the wonderful Biblical promise that

God is with them through all sorts of challenging circumstances. We

appreciate each person who helped share this important message,

whether up front and in costume or behind the scenes.

Pastor Jeffrey Spencer

Ah, awe, “aaugh,” august, August

ersonalities often reflect seasons and so it is

when August arrives. It carries a mix of more

summer sun-filled activities, vacations, etc., but

also the inevitable thought about fall on its way.

So here we are: ah - exclamation expressing pain and delight;

awe – a mix of feeling of reverence, fear, wonder or sublime, even

sacred thoughts; aaugh – that Snoopy slang term to express Norwegian

“uff da;” august – inspiring awe and reverence worthy of respect

because of age and dignity (gotta love that); August – that summer-to-fall transition month that encompasses all of the above and more.

Hello out there to all of you men at OHLC….none of us is much

different in this reality than one another. We Old Dogs and Young Pups

meet each 2nd

and 4th Tuesday of the month for lunch, singing,

laughing, choosing ministry projects, studying the scriptures and praying.

We invite you who are very busy with so many things on your

plate as well as valid reasons why not to attend, to pray about the pros

and cons as they would affect you by joining the rest of us.

Aug. 14 – Noon to 1:30, fellowship hall (or place TBA). Food provided

by the “Three 8th Avenue Boys,” Bob, Jerry & Norm.

Aug. 28 – Noon to 1:30, fellowship hall (or place TBA). Food provided

by two master chefs, Sir Thomas G. (Gourmet) Piper and Pastor Jeff

(Master of Many Concoctions) Spencer.

Come and taste and see how good the love of God can be

amongst us men. Tom Piper

Congrats to Jennifer Muzzall and Thomas Jones!

Jennifer Muzzall and Thomas Jones were united in

marriage on Sunday, July 29th. The ceremony took place at

the family farm, with Pastor Spencer presiding. We wish

them every blessing as they begin married life together!

Compassion Ministry

A word of thanks on behalf of Watoto

big THANK YOU for prayers for Skip Lycksell and the medical

team during their recent trip to Uganda. They saw about 500

women and their children in the clinics they held. They really did save

lives. One woman, Dorothy, walked 7 miles one way to see them with

her 6 month old baby and 2 other children. The baby would not breast

feed, was limp and had a temperature of 104 degrees. The baby was

given antibiotics and the woman returned the next day(14 mile trip); the

baby was revived, able to cry and breast feed.

Most of the patients were women working at Living Hope.

Living Hope is a Watoto workshop for women who have been cast away

from society because they were stolen by the invading army and have

returned. Most are HIV+ and have several children. These women

receive counseling and are able to work sewing dolls, table runners, bags,

and pillows. They also make jewelry, peanut butter, and roast coffee.

Daycare is provided on site and they have a daily Bible study. They are

able to earn an income, their self-esteem improves, and they now have

hope.

Also, a thank you for the donations and purchases for July’s

rummage sale. We made about $1,300.

The Watoto team has enjoyed sharing during our July mission

emphasis month. We are planning an Oktoberfest dinner in late October.

Thank you for your prayers and support of the Watoto Mission.

You are the team!

Judy Lycksell

Endowment Committee

“Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

He saw through their duplicity and said to them, “Show me a

denarius. Whose portrait and inscription are on it?”

“Caesar’s,” they replied.

He said to them, “Then give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to

God what is God’s.”

- Luke 20: 22-26 NIV

he conventional interpretation by most biblical scholars is that

Jesus was saying pay your lawful taxes to the recognized author-

ity but remember you are God’s and owe yourself and your dedi-

cation to God. But we must remember also that all we have is a gift from

God for our use while still being a good steward which includes paying

our lawful share of taxes.

Fortunately the United States tax laws currently have provisions

which allow us to reduce our lawful taxes by making charitable

contributions. Oak Harbor Lutheran Church and the Endowment Fund

qualify as charitable organizations.

Our task is to use the money in the fund for the betterment of

Oak Harbor Lutheran Church, Northwest WA Synod and the ELCA as a

whole. Since 2008 there has been $35,000 distributed to fund items for

OHLC such as new computers, replacing the front doors, and reserves

for roof replacement. At the Synod level, funds have been given to

Camp Lutherwood, El Camino de Emaus and ELCA Campus Ministry.

At the ELCA level, most has gone to ELCA World Hunger.

You are encouraged to include

the Endowment Fund as part of your

giving, both during your lifetime as well

as end-of-life planning.

The Endowment Committee has

changed our annual Giving Seminar

from September or October to January

2013. This will give you the opportunity

to make a New Year’s resolution to look

at your financial circumstances and plan

your giving accordingly. It also gives

one a chance to think not only about the

coming year but the broader look of your

life beyond the coming year.

If you have any questions about giving to the Endowment Fund,

please contact any member of the committee.

Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s and unto God that

which is His. - Matthew 22:21 KJV.

Gerry Schwartz, for your Endowment Committee:

Bob Wall, Jan Heideger, Craig Pedlar, Mike Fankhauser,

Gerry Schwartz, and Pastor Spencer

P.S. We just received news we have our first great-grandchild, a baby

boy weighing 9 lb. plus.

With thanks to the congregation …

Thank you so much for remembering me on my graduation. It

was very kind and generous of you.

Emily Hoyt

Thank you for the quillow. It will remind me of the generosity

and compassion of the church every moment of its use. I will

hold it in my heart as I embark on new adventures at college.

Courtney Yeager

Many thanks for the prayers, cards, and words of comfort for our

family at the death of my mother, Ethel Chinn.

Trudy Decker

Eighty children were registered for Vacation Bible School this

year, with an average daily attendance of 72. Many, many thanks

to the wonderful volunteers – youth and adults – who helped during the

week! Thank you, too, to all who donated or lent us items for our

exciting sojourn in Babylon. A special thanks to the women of Deborah

Circle, who spent many hours painting the scenery, and to the

Brotherhood of St. Bernard, for their assistance with our Mother’s Day

Brunch fundraiser.
