One of the fun things to do was

painting a “pet” rock!

Savannah Koester did a

great job of painting her rock!!

Fun, Fellowship and Food Not only did they get food for the body at the annual

camping get together at Calumet Park, but they also got

food for their soul at the worship service. Colleen Perrine

Holy Communion.

Have you seen our Triptik yet?

As many of you know, my family and I like to travel. That love started early for Beth and me. In our married life, it has

taken us to every state in the Union and some foreign countries too. Before each trip, we have a ritual we follow, though it has

changed a bit through the years. We used to go to AAA to stock up on TripTiks and tour books, but now we just use our past

experiences, GPS and computer to highlight the “must see” things we “can’t miss.” Our most satisfying trips are the ones

where we’ve had some advanced planning. But planning can only go so far. It helps, but it isn’t everything. The trips we

remember the best were the ones where things didn’t go as planned, where we discovered surprises along the way: almost

bumping into a buffalo while coming out of a bathhouse in North Dakota, having our Alaskan guide get us uncomfortably up-

close and personal with a moose and her calves, finding a vintage board game store in Vermont, fixing flat tires outside of

Minneapolis and Detroit and Chicago, nursing an overheated van through Colorado’s Vail Pass, while being passed by

bicyclists, after a full day of travel seeing the lunar landscape of the Badlands by the light of a full-moon, eating the best fish

and chips I’ve ever tasted while sitting on a rock in the rain on Scotland’s Isle of Skye. All these experiences have blessed,

bonded us together as a family and whetted our appetites for what lies around the next corner.

Our Long Ranging Planning ministry and Council has been hard at work for several months, listening closely to you,

praying, discussing and refining the Triptik Prince of Peace will be using for its future. They’ve discovered some of the

incredible blessings the Lord has given us and have been excited about the surprises that have been discovered along the

way. We’ve just concluded a discernment and discovery process. I would encourage you to go to our website at

www.popappleton.org for the full report. Consider this our congregational Triptik. It won’t tell you every place we will be going,

but it will tell you some big destinations that are ahead, as well as some things to celebrate along the way — but most

importantly it will give us a general direction — and if our hearts are tuned to God, we will discover wonderful and surprising

things ahead.

As you read this report, I want to ask you to do one thing in particular. I want you simply to PRAY! I want you to pray

that you may see this as not just a trip that our guides, our leaders, are going to insist we follow, nor will it be a straight path

from where we are to where we think we should go. I don’t want you to be committed to one particular path or outcome. See

this as permission to explore some new directions, try new things, anticipate a new future, but be prepared for some detours.

Always let us be open to the Lord’s guidance and the Spirit’s inspiration. Pray for us all! Pray for vision to recognize and

celebrate the surprises along the way. Expect to see God in each step of our paths and we will. Trust our Good Shepherd to

lead us to where He wants us to be. So let’s lace up our boots, get our walking sticks, grab our Bibles, program our GPS, not for

the fastest trip, but for where the Lord wants to lead us – and then let’s go! God has some surprises ahead for all of us!

Joy,

Update from the Call Committee

The Call Committee has gotten underway! In late June we met with Council, the Bishop and a member of the Bishop’s staff to

better understand the call process and ask questions. Here are key steps in the process:

1. The Call Committee completes the Ministry Site Profile (MSP), a lengthy document that provides details on Prince of Peace

and what it is we are seeking in a new pastor. This is sent to the Bishop once complete. We intend to have this document

completed and in the hands of the Bishop by late August.

2. The Bishop uses the MSP to identify potential pastoral candidates that he believes meet our requirements. He will provide

us with a list of 3 to 5 candidates, probably in September. A KEY POINT: WE CAN ONLY INTERVIEW CANDIDATES

REFERRED TO US BY THE BISHOP. There is a process to nominate potential candidates to the Bishop, and we’ll share this

in the near future.

3. The Call Committee reviews candidates’ paperwork and conducts initial interviews. Follow-up interviews are conducted

with the strongest candidates. We anticipate this will begin in late September/early October and extend for weeks. We

have begun developing the criteria we will use in the interview process to identify the right pastoral candidate.

4. If we find the right candidate in this first round of applicants we could be done in the 4th quarter. If not, we will continue

looking at others until we find the right pastor for Prince of Peace.

We will be sharing more information with you in the coming weeks. We plan to set up a process to answer questions you might

have.

PASTOR’S PAGE

PRINCE OF PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH 3

Letter from Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton

“Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

(1 Corinthians 13:7)

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Grace and peace to you in the name of the crucified and risen Christ.

Last week the U.S. Supreme Court rendered its decision announcing the right of same-gender couples to have equal access

to marriage. For many members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, this decision is a welcome sign of hope and

a time for celebration. Other members of this church do not agree with the court’s decision and remain deeply concerned

because of their understanding of Scripture.

This decision affects each of us, some profoundly, and we are not of one mind. Let us continue to accompany one another

with prayer, love and mutual respect as we reflect on this new reality and remember Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians about the

enduring power of God’s love. The ELCA social statement “Human Sexuality: Gift and Trust” (2009) neither endorses nor

forbids same-gender marriages and recognizes that we have differing understandings and convictions on this matter. In its

decision, the court stated that “the First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper

protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths.”

According to this church’s social statement on human sexuality, all decisions about recognizing, supporting and holding

publicly accountable same-gender relationships are entrusted to congregations. Recognizing that the church is not of one

mind on this subject, our 2009 actions provide that congregations and clergy should discern together whether to recognize

such relationships and to what degree.

Pastors are to engage in conversation, discernment and partnership with the congregations who have called them prior to

solemnizing or presiding over a same-gender marriage. On the other hand, no pastor is obligated to solemnize the marriage

of any couple, same-gender or different-gender, whom the pastor cannot in good conscience marry.

As Lutheran Christians, we continue to be a church that engages in conversation

and discernment in all aspects of our faith and life. Creating space for respectful

conversation and dialogue continues to be an important part of our life together. A

helpful resource for engaging in difficult conversations is “Talking Together as

Christians about Tough Social Issues.” In addition, the ELCA Ministry to and with

Same-Gender Couples and their Families Working Group remains in the process of

completing its work. A report of the group’s findings and possible

recommendations will be presented to the ELCA Church Council at its November

meeting.

We seek to see our differences as a gift to be celebrated as we live out that which

unites us: the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ who leads us into mission and

ministry in the world. In the midst of this change, we are first and foremost church

– a church that proclaims the good news of Jesus Christ. May God bless, guide and

strengthen you each day as you go in peace and serve the Lord.

Your Sister in Christ,

The Rev. Elizabeth A. Eaton

Presiding Bishop, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

AUGUST 2015 | FROM THE FILES

ELCA Malaria Campaign--- PoP has been a leader Our ELCA national church is in the last year of a 5-year $15 million campaign to "Make Malaria History!" The ELCA has raised

$14,600,000 so far and hopes to reach the $15 million goal by January 2016. We have only $400,000 more to raise. That is

GOOD NEWS indeed! Our African partner churches have already used the money raised for bed nets, educational resources,

medicines and other methods to limit mosquitoes. They report that more children are healthy, more women have healthy

pregnancies, less people are ill and unproductive, and less people are dying! They can see the impact of our malaria campaign.

The churches are rejoicing and send their THANKS!

We also recently announced that our East Central Synod had set a stretch goal of raising $300,000 for malaria. The ECSW has

raised that amount and surpassed it's goal!! We have much to be proud about and together congregations in East Central

Synod of Wisconsin are creating history-- we are helping to make malaria history!

The national ELCA Malaria Campaign staff wrote to PoP in early July, "I was just looking at my list of congregations who have

supported the ELCA Malaria Campaign --and I thought you might be interested to know that Prince of Peace is in the top 100 of

all ELCA congregations! (Number 92, to be exact--you have already given more than $8,000!) Please do extend our gratitude to

Prince of Peace Lutheran Church for their extravagant generosity to the ELCA Malaria Campaign. I think it's something to be

proud of that your church family is among the most generous congregations in the whole ELCA when it comes to malaria!"

More information is available at www.elca.org/malaria. We plan to show more videos to tell how your contributions are helping

save lives. We are making malaria history in partnership with our

African brothers and sisters! 5 PRINCE OF PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH

PARISH EDUCATION

Grades 3 - 6: 30 centimeter rulers (may have inches on

one side), packs of black or blue ballpoint pens (no gel ink,

please), 70-sheet ruled notebooks – we need LOTS of

notebooks since 4 go into one kit!

Worship Notes Sunday School students entering grades 3-6 in the fall –

this is for you! When you attend church services this

summer, fill out an “I Attended Church Today” worship note

form and you’ll have a head start on your expectations for

the fall. The forms can be found in the bin under the

Sunday School Bulletin Board in the narthex.

Sunday School Superstars Don’t forget to check out the photo board outside the 2nd

grade classroom. You can see some of the things that our

kids are busy with during the year as they learn and grow

with Jesus. There are all new VBS pictures up from June. As

pictures are removed from the board they will placed

outside Katie’s office for you; there are many to take. I will

have them up through September.

AUGUST 2015 • PRINTS OF PEACE 6

Our confirmation ministry is getting a face-lift this year!

We’re excited to introduce a new (to us) curriculum from

Faith Inkubators called “Head 2 Heart.” It takes us deep

into God’s Word and into the promises these young people

are preparing to make when they affirm their baptisms.

Using small groups, we will grow not only closer to God, but

to our adult leaders and to our fellow group members!

Parents – we need you! We need small group leaders for

our two class groups this year (7th & 8th, and 9th). Pair with

another adult to lead simple yet meaningful conversations

with 5-7 youth. It’s a great opportunity to grow in your own

faith as well! Talk to Gloria for more info.

The 2015-2016 Confirmation Handbook will be available

on the church website in mid-August. It will also be included

in the email with registration information. Be on the look

out!

For 7th-8th grade Families: •We are offering two options for orientation this month:

Wednesday, August 26 or Sunday, August 30 – both at

6:30pm. This orientation is for both the student AND

parents. Please RSVP to Gloria so she knows how many

people to prepare materials for on the 26th and 30th.

•Registration information has been emailed to 7th-8th grade

families in our database. If you have not received this

mailing but are interested in enrolling your son/daughter in

our Head 2 Heart Confirmation Ministry, please contact

Gloria Allhiser ASAP! She will get you the info you need.

•Introducing… a new Bible! For children and youth faith

formation at Prince of Peace we are transitioning to using

the new Common English Bible. New confirmation youth will

receive the CEB Student Bible ($25).

Sunday School Volunteers Sign-Up Anyone interested in signing up to help with Sunday School

for the 2015-2016 school year is invited to sign up now!

Our focus will be on discussing the Word that we heard in

the worship service and sharing our own thoughts and

questions with each other. Table Guides for 1st-3rd and for

4th-6th grades will be needed. Any 6th grader who would like

to be a table guide is welcome to sign up. Any confirmation

students, high school students, young, mid, or older adults

are welcome to participate. All you need is faith (you

already have that because you are here) and a heart (since

you are walking and talking you have a working heart). I will

still have a simple format for you to follow at each table.

Feel free to contact Katie for more information or questions

at ChristianEdCoord2@new.rr.com or call 739-5255.

Sunday School Volunteer Training Volunteer training for Sunday School will take place on

Sunday, August 30 from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm in the

attending – bring your calendars since we will work out the

schedules at this time. Please contact Katie at

ChristianEdCoord2@new.rr.com if you cannot attend.

Fall Sunday School Mission Project We are going to join forces with the WELCA ladies as they

gather supplies for the Lutheran World Relief School Kits.

Sunday School students are asked to bring school supplies

to Sunday School in September – we know you’ll be

shopping for these items when they are on sale and we

hope you can help with the kits. Please check the list below

to see what your grade should bring and feel free to bring

other items on the list as well if you would like.

Helping Hands offers six different areas of outreach:

“Fix it” – Offering help with minor repairs and assistance with odd

jobs around the house.

Prayer Shawls – Fellowship group knitting or crocheting prayer

shawls for members in special situations.

Transportation – A person needing a ride to a grocery store, doctor’s

appointment, etc.

Meals – Meals provided for Prince of Peace members in times of

special needs.

Visitation – Spiritual and personal connections on a short term or on

-going basis.

Worship Recordings – Members who desire visits to receive a

Sunday’s worship packet.

It’s That Time of Year Again! We are looking for greeters and hosts for the

upcoming school year! The Witness Ministry is

reaching out to members who would love to

greet, open doors and provide information to

persons arriving for worship services. This is a

great way to meet fellow members and

welcome the community into Prince of Peace.

Please consider volunteering to be a greeter or

a host on a team

that serves on an

every other month

rotation basis. This

i s a g r e a t

opportunity for

i n d i v i d u a l s ,

couples or families

to serve together!

Thank You! Thank you to Brigetta and Eric Wingender and Bob and

Sarah Koester for organizing our 2nd annual Family

Prince of Peace Camping weekend at Calumet County

Park. We had beautiful weather, a scrumptious potluck

and outdoor worship service led by Pastor Roger. And

there were huge amounts of marshmallows and Her-

shey bars for the evening campfire for all to go around.

Mark your calendars for next year as we are planning

our third annual event. See picture below.

Last Call for a FREE pool table! The youth room is getting a makeover this month. Our full-

size slate pool table needs a new home! It needs a little

loving care (new felt top, new pockets) but with those

improvements it will last for years and years. It’s a great

table! Talk to Gloria if you would like this pool table – yours

for free! (You are responsible for transportation.)
