WELCOME TO PASTOR STEPHANIE

Thank you for the warm and wonderful welcome I have received from Christ Lutheran already! The generosity of spirit and hospitality that you embody is noticeable immediately upon each and every worship service and meeting that I've already been privileged to share in with you.

By way of a brief introduction, I have come to you as your Resident Pastoral Intern through collaboration in ministry with several ELCA activities around the metro area of St. Louis in the past several years. The primary point of intersection has been through the work of The Bridge in New Town, since it is a joint ELCA-RCA ministry. In case that raises more questions than it achieves in providing answers, let me explain. I am a rostered Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Reformed Church in America (RCA), one of the partners with the ELCA through the Formula of Agreement, signed and celebrated in 1997 (http://download.elca.org/ELCA%20Resource%20Repository/A_Formula_Of_Agreement.pdf).

I did not go to high school in St. Louis, because I was raised in northwest Iowa, in the small town of Hull. I graduated from Northwestern College, a private, liberal arts college in Orange City, Iowa, then received a Master of Religious Education degree at Western Theological Seminary in Holland, MI, after which I served as a campus minister first at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa and then at Hope College in Holland, MI. It was during that time that I realized I was being called to work on the Master of Divinity degree which I completed and then was subsequently ordained in the RCA. While working with The Bridge, I was also asked to become a Mission Developer for the ELCA, when my colleague Terry Moore left the Metro Coalition to accept a position in Springfield, Illinois. So I have been actively engaged in both RCA and ELCA assemblies and ministries for the past 10 years.

- Pastor Stephanie

My husband Phil and I have three sons and three daughters-in-law, with one grandson: Andrew, Nicole and Jack live in Columbia, IL, Stephen and Pam live in Glendale, and Tim and Chris live in the South Hampton neighborhood of STL. We love St. Louis and seek to live out the call issued in Jeremiah 29:7 to "seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you."

I am looking forward to the adventure and challenge of being in ministry with you in this coming year!

I have served as a pastor of Christ's Church in St. Peters, MO since 1989, having moved here from Michigan with my husband and three sons to co-plant that church. I am still finishing up a few responsibilities there until August, when my husband will be retired from full-time pastoral service. So yes, you guessed it - I, too, am part of a clergy couple, just as Pastors Keith and Penny were as they served in this church for several years. I have enjoyed a rich and diverse ministry, thanks to our partnership with the ELCA in large measure. Another aspect of the ministry I have enjoyed was to serve on the staff of the Reformed Church in America as the Coordinator of Adult Discipleship from 2012-13, before I returned to work once again at Christ's Church and with The Bridge. Additionally, my husband and I both served as volunteer and then part-time on-call chaplains at Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital for many years. During our initial years there, we were pleased to work under the supervision of Jim Bennett.

Treasurer’s Report – Financial Results Through May 31

Below is a condensed report for the five-month period for CLC’s General Fund:

____________________________Actual____________Budget___________

• Income All Sources $ 175,100 $ 186,400

• Expenses $ 207,000 $ 203,300

• Surplus/<Deficit> $ <32,600> $<16,900>

** Income is $11,300 below budget due a continuing slump in regular giving. We

are $8,000 below our average income over the past 3 years, and $11,000 (6%)

behind last year’s contribution amounts. Summertime giving is typically slow for

us due to vacations and other warm weather activities, so please consider

helping us to offset this trend by keeping current and adding a little extra if that

is possible. Thanks so much!

**Expenses remain in good control, remaining below budget overall, except for

some very large bills for repairs to our HVAC systems at the Church & the Mead

Center—we are overspent by $7000 in repairs, with more costs to come ☹.

** We are most grateful for your generous giving to Christ Lutheran. Thank You!

problematic. You will learn 5 validated and reliable strategies to help you manage your stress.

Healthy Aging and the Brain* - Sunday, August 12

way. Learn techniques to improve your memory and stay sharp at any age. Also find out if you are doing the

right things to keep your brain healthy.

How to Talk about the Hard Stuff with your Aging Parents* - Sunday, September 23

With advances in modern medicine, Americans are living longer, often with more chronic conditions than in

previous generations. This has created a new life stage for many adult children as they step in and help steer

the course for their parents’ ultimate health and well-being. You will learn strategies that will help make the

difficult conversations around health challenges more comfortable and productive.

Taking Care of the Caregiver* - Sunday, October 14
