Easter is Here! Share the Good News (Including some news I need to share with you about the upcoming Synod Assembly)

Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed,

Alleluia!

We have endured the days of

Lent… We have been convicted by our

own shortcomings and fallen short in so

many ways with God, family, friends,

work and more. It took us all the way to

the foot of the cross of Christ where Je-

sus pays the price for all of us; includ-

ing those who came

before us and those

who will come after us!

As we celebrate in

these days the resur-

rection of Jesus, may

we be free to be the

people that God has

created us to be … may

we be engaged with

others that promote

and share the love of

God. May we live our

lives and when we are

with others the Easter people we are!

The tomb is empty… BE Easter people!

Synod Assembly

Synod Assembly is fast approach-

ing, May 5-7. At this assembly, there

will be an election of new bishop as our

current Bishop, Murray Finck, will be

retiring. In these recent months, a team

of people have been working on behalf

of the synod to identify ELCA Ordained

Rostered Leaders who will be named on

the first ballot, in addition to those who

will be written in by delegates on the

floor. The synod team narrowed their

extensive list to no more than twelve

candidates. The twelve were then vetted

through an extensive background

check. While I am not privy to the offi-

cial list of names (none of the candi-

dates are supposed to be), I know that

my name was identi-

fied for the list of

twelve (or less) and

will be made public

when the synod assem-

bly notebook goes pub-

lic at the beginning of

April. I share this infor-

mation with you now

(as other candidates

are to being sharing

with their respective

congregations and

ministries) out of cour-

tesy. I have allowed my name to go for-

ward at the urging of some colleagues

and leaders who feel that my voice

needs to be a part of the process.

What does this mean?

(A great Lutheran question!)

In short, there will be many very

qualified people on the released list. In

addition, there will be others nominated

(many equally qualified) in writing on

the first ballot. Any Ordained Rostered

Leader can be nominated across the

whole ELCA. I would expect more than

25 names to emerge from the first ballot

(called an ecclesiastical ballot). Many of

these names will move on to the second

ballot. Following the second ballot, a

specified number of candidates with

the highest vote total will move to the

third ballot and will have the oppor-

tunity to address the assembly. Each of

the following ballots will narrow the

field unless a certain threshold of votes

is received. The threshold for election

on the first ballot is 75% and decreases

from there until the fifth ballot where it

becomes 50%+1.

I am of firm belief that the Holy

Spirit is very present in this process.

Someone will emerge not as a winner of

a competition, but as a person entrusted

to the Office of Bishop, and to work

with and lead the people in Pacifica

Synod. The decision of the assembly

will be the right decision and we as a

synod will rally behind it.

I ask of you the following. PRAY for

the process, the candidates, the minis-

tries that could be impacted (including

you, the people of St. Paul and Shep-

herd of the Hills), the delegates and

everyone who has a role in this decision

during the coming days. I ask that you

pray for my family, including me. I ask

that you pray for the Holy Spirit to be

present throughout!

Blessings! Christ is Risen. He is ris-

en, indeed. Alleluia!

2016 marks a milestone for the St. Paul Lutheran Church Community!

We are 50 years old! During the years St. Paul LC has seen many people

pass through the doors to give worship to the God of all creation! We are

grateful to the people and pastors who have served this faith community

from the very beginning, to today, and into the tomorrows. St. Paul LC is

also committed to the community where the people live, work and play!

We not only want to reach into our surrounding communities by being

present, we also want to serve and walk in solidarity with the people in

our communities. Our mission continues to be: Striving to mirror Christ in

word and action by reaching out to serve others.

As a part of our year-long celebration, St. Paul LC is announcing a 50

for 50 campaign. This 50 for 50 campaign will target a couple of needed

projects around our campus and provide benevolence dollars that support

the mission we are committed to.

Funds will be collected over the next 12 months (through February

2017). We have set a goal of $50,000 in honor of 50 years of ministry.

Funds will be used for:

Upgrading our AV System in Worship

Addressing the leaky and hot glass in PS office

Parking lot coating/striping

10% of all funds received will support ELCA Mission Support

Additional projects as funds are available.

While the goal is $50,000, additional funds received above the goal will

be used to support additional facility projects. Please direct any questions

to members of the Congregation Council and Pastor Tom.

We invite you to consider making a gift today and throughout the year

to help us reach and surpass our goal! Thank you for your consideration

and gifts!!

50/50 envelopes are available in the narthex or just note on your check

Color Me Calm - Using Adult Coloring Books as a Relaxation Technique

From the magazine Church Health

Reader came the following article:

Have you ever watched children

color in their favorite coloring books?

They pick out colors, one at a time,

marking the page, tracing lines, slowly

filling in the picture bringing it to life.

They are often so peaceful and at ease

when coloring.

Why canʹt adults have that too! It

turns out they can and they should!

Adult coloring books are rising in pop-

ularity as stressed out folks find peace

of mind inside the lines. The slow and

deliberate coloring of shapes and pic-

tures induces relaxation by repressing

the activity of the amygdala. a part of

the brain that controls stress-related

emotions. Taking time to unwind crea-

tively has the potential to reduce stress

by channeling it into the colors on a

page.

The trend of adult coloring books

has taken off, especially in parts of Eu-

rope where these books have become

best sellers. The trend is making itʹs

way across America as more and more

coloring books are creeping their way

up the bestsellers lists. Art therapy has

often taken the form of crafts, music, or

free-form drawing, but there is some-

thing to be said to coloring inside the

lines. Simply speaking, the act of con-

centrating on coloring a design greatly

reduces your focus on anything worri-

some. Just think: as a kid, were you

ever worried about anything while you

colored? Of course not!

Especially in this digital age, itʹs

helpful to take your eyes off the screen

and zone out into a beautiful lined can-

vas of a garden, a country screen, or

even a whimsical cat, just waiting to be

splashed with color. And who doesnʹt

love to color?

Some suggested books include: Secret

Garden: An inky Treasure Hunt and Color-

ing Book by Johanna Basford. The Mind-

fulness Coloring Book: Anti-stress Art

Therapy for Busy People by Emma Far-

rarons. Color me Good by Mel Simone

Elliot

Coloring books can be found at

stores such as Michaelʹs, Costco, Barnes

n Noble, and of course on line at places

like Amazon.com

Blood Drive Coming to St. Paul

Volume 15, Issue 4

Led By The Cross “I want to do more in worship.”

“Yea, me too!” “Can we wear the

robes?” I have to be honest I was more

than a little surprised to hear these re-

quests. One evening during confirma-

tion the students were all asking if they

could be more involved. I gave them a

tentative yes but no specifics. After

brainstorming with our talented staff

we came up with a number of tasks

during the mid-week service. As you

may have seen we have had youth of

all ages involved. Our young people

were the ushers, greeters, acolytes, wa-

ter pourers, oil holders, and a crucifer.

(Crucifer is the

term for the

person who

carries the cross

in a proces-

sion.)

The joy

and passion

that the youth

have shown

during the Len-

ten Services has been uplifting for me.

Their enthusiasm is contagious and

gives me hope. I often hear folks be-

moan the future of the church. Don’t

get me wrong there are times I also

worry. Church attendance across the

nation is down. More and more

churches are closing and cannot afford

full time pastors. Change is happening,

some good and some scary. Yet here at

St. Paul we are blessed to have lots of

youth who want to be involved. One

young boy said to me he didn’t want to

come to church that day. Then he got

to acolyte for the first time and he was

going to ask his parents if he could

come back next week.

These youth are not the future

leaders. They are ready to lead now.

How will we as a church community

support and equip them? I encourage

all of us to tell our youth how much we

appreciate them. Even when they

aren’t assisting in worship I encourage

everyone to get to know them. Help

them to know that this is a community

who loves and supports them. Togeth-

er we can get creative and find differ-

ent ways to plug our young people in-

to the life of this congregation. The

youth are ready to serve and whenever

possible we need to give them the op-

portunity.

Jesus said, “Let the little children

come to me, and do not stop them; for

it is to such as these that the kingdom

of heaven belongs.” Matthew 19:14

Each mid-week service in Lent we

began with a youth carrying the cross

into our sanctuary. This served as a

reminder of where our Lenten journey

was heading. We were on a journey

with Christ to the cross. We give

thanks that the journey for Christ and

for us did not end there. The journey

WELCA UPDATE: The March Lu-

theran magazine

has an interesting

article on Welcom-

ing. The church’s

catchphrase “all

are welcome” is so

common it seems

like a meme. But

what do these

three simple words actually mean? Are

they sincere or do dwindling congrega-

tions just hope to get people in the

pews? Is it just what we think we

should say? Welcoming isn’t simple.

How churches welcome newcomers can

often mean the difference between vi-

brant congregations and those that

struggle. ‘All are welcome’ used to

mean those who look like us, act like us,

have the same lifestyles and same val-

ues,” said Brenda Smith, ELCA pro-

gram director for faith practices and

missional development. “The new reali-

ty is that people are beginning to under-

stand that ‘all are welcome’ means that

all are welcome – regardless of race, col-

or, creed, age, ethnicity, knowledge of

Christ and sexual orientation.” It also

means that congregations need to be

inclusive and understand that not eve-

ryone has grown up in the church,

knows Jesus or can follow a worship

service, she added. “People are looking

for three things in a church,” Smith

said. “One, a warm community that

loves and follows Jesus; two, a place

where they can learn something, and

three, a church that is doing something

to transform the world. Sometimes

we’re woefully

inadequate in all

three.” ARE WE A
