I’m not going to apologize; I really like the fall season.

There are a variety of reasons but I’ve come to realize

that my favorite thing about fall is getting back into a

routine. Now that might sound funny coming from me

since I tend to enjoy doing things at the last minute but

I really do cherish routine. I also enjoy having activity

happening around me and when the calendar turns to

September, Peace Lutheran Church is filled with

activity. Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of activity

happening throughout Peace during the summer—

probably more than you might expect—but there is

something about the routine that fall brings.

Think about it - Sunday School classes are starting up

again, Confirmation is beginning, we are returning to

two worship services on Sunday mornings, the Peace

Preschool is back in session along with Headstart

programs and the programs offered through the

Oshkosh School District. Did you know that Monday

through Friday there are over 200 people who are in

the Peace building? For an extrovert like me that is

music to my ears!

No doubt you also have a routine in your own life that

changes when we get to the fall. Maybe you have kids

who are going back to school or you participate in an

activity like bowling or pickleball that takes a break over

the summer. Perhaps you look forward to your favorite

television show coming back from its summer break or

you like cheering on a certain football team that resides

in Green Bay.

As we ramp up into our fall routine, I want you to think

about how we do all of these things together. Very little

of what we do happens on our own. We need others

around us to help make our routine successful. We all

play a role in the routine of others, whether we

recognize that or not.

In Paul’s letter to the Romans, he talks about how we

are all in this together.

“4 For as in one body we have many members, and

not all the members have the same function, 5 so

we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and

individually we are members one of another. 6 We

have gifts that differ according to the grace given to

us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; 7 ministry, in

ministering; the teacher, in teaching; 8 the exhorter,

in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in

diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness.”

(Romans 12:4-8 – NRSV)

What gifts do you bring to Peace Lutheran Church?

What gifts do you share with the Oshkosh community?

How are you a part of other people’s routines and daily

lives. I think that is a lesson we need to keep learning.

We are all in this together, even if we don’t realize it or

believe it. We are a part of each other’s stories.

How will you contribute to someone else’s story this

month? Will it be in a positive way or a less than

encouraging way? The choice is ours, isn’t it? May you

be a blessing to others as you have first been blessed.

Have a wonderful September!

Shalom,

ACTS OF PEACE PLAYERS

We want to thank everyone from Peace Lutheran Church who have supported us during our first season. We are thankful for the opportunity to bring quality theater to the Oshkosh Community and we love using the space in the Social Center. Without your support we would not be able to do something we love.

Thank you again for your support and we look forward to putting on more productions in the next year.

CURATOR OF YOUTH AND FAMILY MINISTRIES

What a successful year we had!! 26 children from

Peace, from the Preschool, and from the

neighborhood gathered together for a week of faith,

fellowship and fun. A spy theme kept things engaging

for the kids. Crossways did an awesome job teaching

lessons including the parable of the Good Samaritan,

the Wedding Banquet, Laborers in the Vineyard, as

well as when Jesus healed the paralyzed man and

what the early Christian community looked like. Many

Thanks!

First, thank you God for making all of this possible.

Thank you to the Crossways camp for coming to our

church. A special thanks to our counselors; Ian,

Conner and Hailey for spending the week teaching

and guiding our kids. Thank you to Matt Crowe for

making all of our signs and badges and for assisting

me in crunch time.

To our kitchen staff; Lindsey, Nicole, Signe, Dave,

Carol, and Elise. Without them I’m fairly certain your

children might not have been fed for the week. The

kitchen would have been nothing without the well

oiled machine of Janelle and Mary who planned

EVERYTHING, thank you!

Thank you to Alex and Dairy Queen for the dilly bars

on our final day. Thank you to everyone who donated

money so the children could eat.

To all my youth volunteers; Aly, Riggs, Joshua, Bella,

Alexis, and Kaitlin- Thank you for giving your time and

for caring for the littles. Thank you to our host families

- Kira and the Wolfgang Family, for providing so much

more than just shelter for the counselors. To Pastor,

thank you for all of your support, presence and advice.

A great big thank you to the parents and families of

our campers. Thank you for trusting me with your

children for the week, I love them all dearly. Thank you

campers for spending time together in God’s word,

with Jesus’s love and living in the Spirit.

Thank you to our whole congregation for their love and

support in so many ways. Without you, the kids would

have missed out on a fabulous week.

Finally, thank you to Chad, my husband. Thank you for

being a solo parent for the week and for helping out

so much at church with all the other odd and ends. I

love you.

CURATOR OF YOUTH AND FAMILY MINISTRIES

Peace Lutheran Sunday School will resume on Sunday,

September 8 at 9:00 am. This year, we are excited to

offer Spark: Activate Faith Sunday School for all kids

grades Pre-K to 5th. Each week we’ll explore a new

Bible story using the Spark Bibles. Parents, each week

we’ll send home a Family Page for you to explore that

week’s Bible story together as a family. We’re excited

to explore the same scripture we hear in church each

week with kids using Spark: Activate Faith Sunday

School! Kids will learn a new Bible story each week

through reading the Bible, activities, and music. We will

also incorporate mini lessons on how to use their

Bibles, common prayers, Ten Commandments, and

much more.

Sixth through Eighth graders will utilize Faith Lens

Weekly Bible Study offered through the ELCA. Faith

Lens is a weekly Bible study that engage youth and

young adults in connecting world events with the Bible,

faith, and everyday life.

In addition to our weekly Sunday School and Bible Study,

there will also be service projects to involve kids in

church services, caring for the congregation, and helping

our local and global community. We are so excited for a

filled and fulfilling year.

Join us on Rally Sunday, September 8th, for our open

house. Families are encouraged to stay and see what

this new curriculum and school year has to offer. There

will be games, contests, refreshments and a chance to

sign up for volunteer opportunities as well as take a

closer look at Sparks curriculum. The fun starts at

9:00am in the social center.

Sunday School and Youth Bible study is open to all

children from Pre-K through 8th grade. Kids do not have

to be members of Peace to be part of our program. We

encourage kids to bring a friend, or two whenever

available. Enrollment forms are available in the PLC

office, at the Family Table in the Narthex or for download

on the PLC website.

If you have any questions or would like further

information, please see Nicki McKnight, Curator of Youth

and Family Ministries. [email protected]

SUNDAY SCHOOL AND YOUNG ADULT BIBLE STUDY KICKOFF SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 8TH 9:00AM

YOUTH GROUP KICK OFF.

As summer comes to a close and school starts up again,

be sure to keep a spot on your calendar for some time

with your Peers at Peace. Peace has an amazing group

of young adults, and if you are entering 6th grade up

through 12th grade, that includes YOU! We are hoping to

meet at least once a month for a fun social gathering

free of commitment, judgement and or worry.

This year some of the fun things we are planning include

game nights, retreats, ski/snowboarding trips, sledding,

movies, dinners, bowling and so much more! Wanting to

give back we will also plan community service projects

which offer a way for you to get in your “required

volunteer” hours. Join us for nursing home visits,

neighborhood clean up, Day by Day warming shelter

help, babysitting service, United Way, and so much more.

Whether you can come once or can make it to every

event, feel free to join us whenever you can. When you

give, you find you get so much more. Transportation will

always be provided as needed.

Our first event will be Sunday September 15th at

5:30pm in Room 201. Pizza dinner will be served and

games will be played. Bring a friend (or two or more) for

a chance to win a prize.

Be there from the start for a great year of fun, faith, and

friends. See Nicki McKnight for questions and or further

details. [email protected] (949)690-4177.

CURATOR OF CONGREGATIONAL LIFE

WORSHIP ASSISTANT OPPORTUNITY: AV Booth Volunteer

We are looking for interested

youth--confirmation age and

older, who would be interested

in working in the sound booth.

Kim Dawson will be training

those who are interested

beginning in September. This is

a great opportunity to engage youth directly into the

worship service! Individuals who are interested, should

connect with [email protected].

NEW (TO PEACE) CHAIRS IN THE SOCIAL CENTER On July 30th, Peace

Lutheran Church was

the recipient of 70

p a d d e d a n d

upholstered banquet

chairs. These chairs

were a free upgrade

from the Hilton Hotel

who was also making

an upgrade. A member

of the church, who has a connection with the Hilton

Hotel , contacted Peace in mid-June to say that the chairs

would be available after EAA had run its course for 2019.

On July 30th I recruited a small group of helpful church

family friends and we collected 70 chairs. The chairs

were put to use for the VBS dinners and we look forward

to offering you comfortable seating for many more

dinners to come!

UPGRADES WITH PARK DANCE FUNDS Last month I noted that Peace Preschool had a very

successful night at the Park Dance this year. When the

preschool brainstorms what to do with the funds, we

always try to think of upgrades that benefit both the

preschool and the church. This year the preschool

purchased:

12 brand new, lightweight Lifetime folding

banquet tables—this replaces the extremely

heavy, older banquet tables we had.

4 brand new Rubbermaid utility carts—this

replaces the old metal food trollies in the

kitchen;

1 top of the line, brand new floor buffer—to

replace the heavy old buffer that literally blew

up on our janitor, Mary!

We hope you get to enjoy these updates along with the

preschool staff.

RALLY SUNDAY CHURCH FAMILY PICNIC Peace Lutheran Church will be

hosting a church family picnic on

September 8th. A traditional picnic

lunch will be served by members of

the Leadership Team and the Mission

and Outreach Team. Lunch will be

served in the Social Center from

11:30 AM to 12:30 PM. A short puppet show by the

Scott Street Puppeteers will provide entertainment.

Come and enjoy lunch with your church family. All are

welcome, we truly hope to see you there!

CURATOR OF CONGREGATIONAL LIFE

Early this summer I met with Abigail Miedaner who had

reached out to Peace to see our vegetable garden and to

share information about a new mission through Zion

Lutheran Church’s Jericho Road Ministries, Inc. which

was growing produce to share with the Oshkosh

community through the Lutheran Food Pantry program-- a

mission supported by Peace Lutheran Church. Through

this connection and conversation, the rain barrel that

had been purchased for the Peace Gardens was turned

over to the gardens cultivated by Jericho Road Ministries.

At Peace, the rain barrel was not properly collecting

water from our industrial gutters and therefore was not

being used for its intended purpose. With the proper

consent of the people instrumental in purchasing the

rain barrel, the barrel was moved to a new home and is

now in full use!

Abigail’s letter describing the purpose of the gardens

and how the rain barrel has benefited the program:

“The gardens are on the same lot as Second

Chance Thrift Store at 753 N. Main St. We

are growing in the greenhouse and in beds

outside. The produce we harvest is taken

next door to the Lutheran Food Pantry

located at 714 Division St. We serve 300—

400 families per month who are residents of

southern Winnebago County. The intent of

the gardens is to provide supplemental

fresh produce, and gardening opportunities

for any interested clients. We have had

several food pantry clients volunteer with

the gardens and have harvested several

times already this season. The rain barrel is

a fantastic addition and we are very grateful

for the donation!”

A LETTER FROM: ABIGAIL MIEDANER,

AQUOPONICS MANAGER FROM JERICHO ROAD MINISTRIES, INC.

A note about the new location of the Peace Gardens Rain Barrel:

addresses. We want them to know we care.

GARDEN GROUP The garden and grounds are

flourishing with color and ready

p r o d u c e , be a n s , t o m a t o e s ,

cucumbers, peppers and onions.

Please take time to stop by and if you

see something you would like to

pick, please help yourself. Also, if

anyone has time, we could use a few extra hands

to help keep the weeds down. Any questions/

comments/suggestions ask one of the three or our

garden group: Steve Berholtz, Heather Miller or Kathi

Sawall.

DID YOU KNOW? You’ll get 91% more of the antioxidant

beta carotene from veggies like dark

leafy greens and carrots by mixing a

tablespoon of mayo into your

dressings and dips! That’s because fat

helps your body absorb certain

nutrients and mayo packs in the mono

and polyunsaturated fats—the healthy

types.

Peace Lutheran Church aimed at

pairing a middle school student with

authentic, affirming and available to

pray for a child. The vision is to foster

inter-generational relationships that

will help our youth navigate

adolescence and all the changes

that come with that stage of life.
