Peace Lutheran Family,

To say that I am filled with many

emotions as I write this article would

be an understatement.

I am excited to be joining you in

ministry, bittersweet to be

transitioning from my first call and a congregation that

loved me, nervous about the unknowns that lie around

the corner, grateful to know that I don't do this alone but

with your support and God’s guidance.

Some of you know me from my time at Peace in

2010-2011, some know me by the stories they've heard

and some are meeting me for the first time.

No matter our history together I am delighted for this

new chapter together as Pastor and people.

Next month I’ll have more of an introduction about

myself but for now I simply want to say how thankful I am

that the Holy Spirit has brought us together to do

ministry side by side.

Please feel free to stop by the office to say hello or invite

me out to your favorite spot to grab some food. I look

forward to getting started at Peace!

Shalom,

Pastor Brad

FROM PASTOR BRAD

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Greetings,

Have you had a chance to meet our new pastor? Pastor

Brad Dokken started here at PLC on June 15th. You may

remember him when he was our intern. Pastor Brad is

very excited to be here with us. If you get a chance stop

by and say hi, but remember to tell him your name as he

will have so many new faces to meet. Welcome to PLC

Pastor Brad, we are happy to have you here! Be watching

for Pastor Brad's installation as it will be in the very near

future.

Vicar Dara will be ending her internship at PLC on July

22nd. Vicar Dara has been such a blessing to us as she

has done so many neat things while she has been here.

Also during the transition time she was helpful to us in

many ways. We wish Dara the best as she goes back to

seminary to complete her final year. Thank you, Vicar

Dara for all you have done for us! You have been very

much appreciated.

The transformation of the circle drive is looking great.

The garden beds are all in and stocked with plants and

the huge tree stump has been removed. There is still

some work to be done. Thanks to Ryan Kangas and the

Boy Scouts and all of his helpers for the garden beds.

Also, I would like to thank Joe Friday and his crew of

people for all the hard work they did cutting up the

remaining tree and lining up the people to grind the

stump. Later on this summer Ryan will be starting phase

two of his project at the 8th Street church entrance by

the Free Little Pantry.

Hope your summer is going well and have a safe and

happy 4th of July. Be a blessing where you can.

Peace,

Jean Andersen

Thank you so much for a wonderful final Sunday

at Peace Lutheran. Your kind words and reception

filled me with overwhelming gratitude. It has been a

joy to serve you as Interim Pastor these past 10

months. Also much thanks for the farewell luncheon

and gift from my wonderful staff and leadership

Team and many others. My prayers remain with all

the people at Peace as you look to a renewed future

with the arrival of Pastor Brad.

God Bless you all,

Pastor Dennis E Ellisen

Dear people of Peace…

It’s almost hard to believe it, but this is my final

submission of Thoughts From the Vicar. What an

internship year this has been! It seems like

September 11, 2016 was just yesterday, and Pr. Dennis

and I were both walking into worship on our first day of

our respective gigs. The time has flown by with

countless joys and a few struggles, but what’s left in my

heart at this point is nothing but thankfulness. In reality,

I could list off about 1000 things I am thankful for, but

I’ll just narrow it down to 5 for the newsletter:

1. Your hospitality— I remember coming into the doors

on my first day. Though I hadn’t met many of you

yet, you welcomed me as if I’d been part of the

community all my life. Throughout the year you’ve

left space for me to be me (wild leggings and all),

and you quickly allowed me to be part of the

community and in relationship with you. You greeted

me and met me where I was, and you walked with

me through the best times and the hardest times.

Within this, I also give thanks for the intern

committee, who have met with me monthly and who

have given me endless nuggets of wisdom.

2. Your drive for mission— Ya’ll care deeply about

people of the Oshkosh community and beyond, AND

not only that, but you act on that care as well. From

what I’ve observed, you do this purely out of the joy

and the gift of grace you receive from God. This fills

me with hope. In seminary we hear a lot about

congregations who are dying because they put much

of their ministry focus on the people who are already

part of the congregation, rather than ministering to

and with the community they are in. Sometimes

what we hear in seminaries paints a very glum

picture, but YOU have restored my hope that there

are still congregations out there who are passionate

about serving the world around them. This has been

a true gift you have given me.

3. Peace Christian Preschool— The preschool wouldn't

exist if it weren’t for the congregation of Peace.

Before my internship, I had the privilege of being the

3k teacher at Peace Preschool for two years, thus I

had the privilege of working with some of the most

wonderful co-workers anyone will find on earth.

Beyond that, I got to work with some of most wonder

students and families on the earth. A huge part of

Peace’s role in the community lies in early childhood

education—this is a gift to all who attend school here

regardless of what program they are enrolled in.

This ministry is one that impacts not just the lives of

students, but of the staff as well. Thanks for that.

4. Your willingness to try new things— Whether it’s

trying new communion breads and wines, singing a

new hymn (or an entirely new liturgy), writing your

faith questions on a piece of paper and passing it to

your vicar, blessing as many ordinary things in life as

possible, or giving away bike helmets, your

willingness to try new things made for an ideal

learning environment for this student. Interns

wouldn’t be able to grow here at Peace if they didn’t

have the room to try new things. I’ve certainly gotten

a great amount of room to grow, and I’m thankful for

that space.

5. The Holy Spirit’s work through you— This is really the

big one here. Above all, I give thanks to God for you

and for your work with me this year. God has truly

been at work through you all year long (and long

before that too), and will continue to work through

you into the future. I am so stinkin’ grateful for God’s

grace and love that we are showered with on a daily

basis. I have been truly blessed to bear witness to

God’s work through you.

So what’s next for me? Come September I’ll be headed

back to school for one more academic year at Wartburg

Theological Seminary. Adam and I will continue to live in

Oshkosh, then I’ll be driving to Dubuque, Iowa on

Sundays and returning home on Wednesday afternoons.

Come March I will enter the assignment process, and

hopefully around June I’ll be getting ready to transition

into my first call. Though Adam and I will return to

worshiping regularly at our home congregation in

Neenah, I do sincerely hope our paths cross with yours

again in some capacity, Peace Lutheran Church, thank

you for a great year of learning!

Peace be the journey,

Vicar Dara

B LE S S ING O F T H E B ICYC LE S R ECAP

Peace Lutheran Church had a BIG day this past Pentecost

Sunday! The Holy Spirit was certainly alive and at work through

the Blessing of the Bicycles and Helmet Giveaway. Throughout

the day we met many of our Oshkosh neighbors, and celebrated

the love of bicycling. Many thanks go out to Officer Rachel

VanHorn of the Oshkosh Police Department who joined us to give

a safety presentation and to take a bike ride, Devin and Tori of

Winnebago Bicycle, and to DJ Mike Lokken for providing music

and bike facts during the event. It was certainly a gift to have so

many community partners present.

What an incredible thing it

is to say that we gave away

128 bike helmets to the

people of Oshkosh! Though

not all helmets were given

away at the blessing, all

were given away by the

following Sunday. This

speaks not just to the

needs that are in our

community, but also to the

generosity of the people of

Peace, and how you are

truly led by the Holy Spirit

to serve those around you!

Thank you to all who donated to sponsor a helmet or who volunteered at the

event. You truly embody the mission of Peace in showing how we are all

called to make disciples, and sent to share Christ

A Community Garden Comes into Being

After months of planning, fund-raising and securing materials, Ryan Kangas’ vision of a Community Garden at

Peace Lutheran Church took a big step on Saturday, June 3rd. This praiseworthy effort is the first phase of Ryan’s

Eagle Scout project.

With the help of a small army of volunteers from his family, Boy Scout

Troop, and Peace Lutheran Church, the courtyard by our circle drive

was transformed. The six raised garden beds will become a resource to

benefit both our church family and our neighbors.

The second phase of Ryan’s

project will involve renovating

the Little Free Pantry area to

make it more accessible and

community-friendly. That

phase is scheduled for later

this summer. He’ll need

volunteers then, too. And for

undertaking such a worthwhile

project, he deserves both our

support and our prayers.

Way to go, Ryan. You make us all very proud!

PLC CARING FOR CREATION Caring for Creation discovered three great recycling opportunities. With a convenient drop location in the main hallway.

We are called by God to “keep the earth” Genesis 2:15

Colgate has partnered with TerraCycle. TerraCycle is a global leader in recycling the hard to recycle waste. One of

the programs offered is the Colgate Oral Care Recycling Program. The program accepts oral hygiene products which

includes:

Any brand of toothpaste tubes and caps

Any brand of toothbrushes

Any brand of toothpaste cartons and toothbrush outer packaging

Any brand of floss containers

Products are turned into school supplies for the Kids In Need Foundation which is a foundation helping kids show

up to school the first day with school supplies.

http://www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades/colgate

ColorCycle – an amazing new program devised to turn used markers into energy!

The markers will be sent to a facility where they will be converted into clean fuel.

This fuel can be used to power vehicles, heat homes, cook meals and more!

You may ask - - Can any marker be sent in or just Crayola brand markers?

Crayola ColorCycle will accept all brands of plastic markers,

not just Crayola markers. Including dry erase markers and highlighters!

ColorCycle will eliminate placing hundreds of tons of markers into landfills.

The Crayon Initiative: Recycling unwanted crayons into unlimited possibilities.

Crayons are not biodegradable, the petroleum in the crayon will keep them

around forever. The Crayon Initiative melts down unwanted crayons to make

new crayons which are delivered to hospitals caring for children. Remarkable

recycling program, I encourage you to check out the website.

Greetings Family and Friends of Peace Christian Preschool~

In past summer months I have been able to go out and about and enjoy the sunny days with my two boys and be a bit carefree in regards to the preschool. This summer I am finding myself in the basement office more frequently than I’d like. We’re looking to hire two new teachers. We’re making renovations in the office, a classroom, and the storage room. And on top of that we’re mentally adjusting to programming changes regarding our collaboration with the Oshkosh Area School District. On an exciting note, our Sensory Garden and Butterfly Garden are doing well. Plan to take a look at them on the playground over the summer. Hiring new teachers: We are fully staffed for the two 4K classrooms which we will be hosting next year. With our current 3K teacher not returning for the next year due to her pregnancy, we are searching for a qualified 3K Lead Teacher. Additionally, we are looking to hire a preschool teacher who will in the 3K classroom primarily, but who will also be available to help in either of the 4K classrooms or the preschool office. Both positions are Monday through Friday, mornings only. If you know a great person for either position, please send them my way. Until then, pray for us to be patient and know that God is watching over us.

Renovations: To accommodate our growing staff numbers, and the number of people who work out of the preschool office, we need to get rid of the hodge-podge of furniture that we have collected for tables and shelving and get appropriate furniture in the preschool office. This will be a delightful update, but a messy process. One more messy process is clearing out and cleaning up our storage room. Our storage room, for those who do not know, is an unused locker room. The room has been filled with 30 years of preschool materials--112 lockers and a shower room chock full of possibilities. To accommodate a need for better access to materials by the teachers and a need for bigger storage areas, the lockers have been removed from the locker room and replaced with open shelving and clear plastic bins. I found that removing the lockers from the locker creates a strange nostalgia within me--there is a sadness to see a great room torn apart from it’s original intent. My saving thoughts are that great things will still come from the use of that room. Adjusting to program changes: Included in last month’s newsletter, our preschool is doing well and growing strong. Our program alone will serve 100 children; between the three programs, we will be serving 190 children. The growth for this coming school year is due in part to our changing collaboration with the Oshkosh Area School District. We will acquire a new classroom, but moving forward our 4K Lead Teachers will be employed directly by the OASD. This will be a huge mental transition, but great for our two staff members who deserve the benefits that will come from being employed by a larger organization. In closing, please enjoy the photos that we’re sharing from our preschool carnival and final days of school. We are blessed to continue to be a part of Peace Lutheran Church.

Wishing you Love, Peace, and Happiness, Heather B. Miller
