A Message from Pastor Matt For thus it says in 1 Peter 2, "You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a priestly kingdom." In this way we are all priests, as many of us as are Christians. (Martin Luther, On the Babylonian Captivity of the Church). Part of our heritage as Lutherans is this understanding of “priesthood of all believers.” Against the very professional and exclusive sense of ministry present in the pre-Reformation, Medieval Church, Luther suggested an understanding of the Gospel that was inclusive and encouraged all Christians to take an active role. Part of this found form in encouraging literacy and for all people to become familiar with their scripture. Part of this was in encouraging an understanding of all vocations and service to be pleasing to God. In our worship services, this is reflected in the different roles and ways through which people can serve. The most important, of course, is simply being present to worship, and to give thanks and praise to God. However, some of the more specific “jobs” not only facilitate the flow of worship by having helpers, but more importantly reflect the shared work that we have as children of God. At Prince of Peace, there are sign-up sheets in the narthex (just above, and to the left of the water fountain) where people can sign up for the various service opportunities per service. Members and friends are encouraged to sign up for Sundays when they know they will be present and would like to serve. Deacon Al Streckfus, OSSD will be helping to coordinate some of the sign ups so that each week we have each position accounted for. For those unfamiliar with what some of the duties are, the following lists them:

Assistant Minister – for both the Traditional and Contemporary, the Assistant Minister role is the key lay position and does what it describes: “assists.” They help with parts of the liturgy, distribute communion, pray the prayers of the church, read the lessons if needed, and otherwise help to fill in any leadership needs in the service. The most involved of all the positions, it requires some training prior to serving. Please contact Pastor Matt if you would like to serve. Lector – quite simply the lector is the reader, and reads the non-Gospel / sermon text lessons each week. Sometimes proper names and places provide unfamiliar words for lectors to read. Please do not let that stop you! There is a pronunciation guidebook that is provided. Present the Elements – each week we need at least two people to carry the bread and the wine (“the elements”) forward. As a sign of God turning the ordinary to extraordinary, we have the bread and wine brought forward as a gift from us, which God uses to turn into a gift for all. Communion Assistant – in addition to the Assistant Minister, the Communion Assistant “assists in communion.” Most often this involves holding the chalice (cup) of wine and either pouring or allowing communicants to instinct (dip) the bread. Greeters – joining with the ushers, the Greeters job is to be a warm and friendly presence before and during the worship service to ensure that any visitors or newcomers feel comfortable at Prince of Peace. As the saying goes, “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, this may be one of the most important responsibilities on a Sunday morning.

The sign-up sheet for the month is usually posted towards the end of the month before. For those who regularly serve, thank you for signing up. For those who have not yet served, I encourage you to think about doing so. Together may we give thanks and praise to the God we serve. In His name, Pastor Matt

A Message from Michele Nitzel, Daycare Director

As we head into the second month of our summer program our theme is “We are all Happy Campers.” The entranceway has been decorated with a makeshift tent and campfire. We want all of our children to be happy as they spend their days with us. One of the best days this month will be water day. There is no better sound than that of children’s laughter as they run through the sprinkler, play in the water tables and

squirt water at each other. It’s a perfect way for them to cool off from the hot summer sun. The staff works hard planning activities that will create lifelong memories for the children. We start July off with Spirit Week. The children are encouraged to dress in their most colorful patriotic outfits and participate in our annual POPCLC 4th of July Parade. They will march around the parking lot and out onto the front lawn to wave at the passing cars. There will be lots of red, white and blue activities to help the children learn about Independence Day. As we continue into the month the children will explore bugs, insects, the nighttime sky and the beauty of nature. The children will “go fishing” as we set up “ponds and lakes” around the center to find different types of fish. They will bait their hooks and practice “catch and release.” There might even be a fishing completion to see who will “hook the largest catch!” Appreciating and respecting the outdoors is a lifelong lesson the children will begin to learn this month.

A Message from Bob DeJong Council President

The great American Dream – to own a house. However, as any house owner knows, sometimes that dream becomes hazy. How is it that the house knows just when you have some extra money? Because that’s when the roof leaks, or the air conditioner goes up on the hottest day of the year, or the chimney becomes clogged and you are told it is out of code, so now it is really expensive to fix. Well, you know that the church is just like your house, and it too has its issues. I was going to start this off with a song from one of my all time favorite movies, Mary Poppins. Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey Chim chim cher-ee! Why? Because it was discovered that our chimney was blocked with years and years and years of soot AND it is from the original building and built when building codes, if there were any, were much different. Therefore, we cannot just have the chimney sweep singing and cleaning our chimney, he needs to totally bring it up to code. Not cheap. Plus we are still repairing the organ and just like when you take your car in for that simple oil change, they find other things that need repaired and your $29 oil change now just cost $290. So is it with our organ and things are being found that need to be fixed, such as keys falling off. There goes the extra money! Just as we try to do a budget for our lives, we, and I mean you and I and everyone else in the congregation, try to plan the budget for our church. And just as we experience the unexpected, so does our church. We also have to pay our bills on top of these unexpected situations. I mean, who would have thought we would be rebuilding the chimney. I wonder if they will be singing and dancing to “Step in Time” while we are not looking? Hmmm. Therefor I ask you to really pray and see how you can help us through these unexpected expenses.

Last month I talked about glocal, global and local. This month I joined about 20 other members as we all went to our Tamil service. What a treat! We all experienced an evening of meaningful worship. We sang in English and listened while they sang the same song in Tamil. We listened while they read scripture in their native tongue and we could read along in the worship folder in English. We all prayed together The Lord’s Prayer, each in our own native language. It was amazing watching the joy of Raja and his family lead service. Raja played the violin to some of the hymns. Nahomi sang in a beautiful voice and talked about what the songs meant to her. And Jeeva, well he played the keyboard, guitar and sang in an amazing voice. We were all filled with the spirit as we left and I thought, this must have been what it was like when Jesus was alive and the early years of Christianity where people from different cultures finding their commonality through Christ. Then we all went to Ellenberger Hall for fellowship, which turned out to be a full Indian meal. I enjoyed watching the smiles of the women as they explained the food and delighted in our compliments, worrying that it might be too spicy, which I didn’t think so. I encourage you to try this special service and find a new way to connect with God and His people.

Prince of Peace Social Ministry Carolyn Wagner, our Food Pantry Coordinator, was thrilled with the response to the temple talks. On the first Sunday of June, the congregation donated 210 canned and boxed items

to the Food Pantry, which is the most ever collected on one Sunday. The following week we collected over 50 items. In her words, “What an awesome congregation!” Many thanks from the bottom of our hearts to all of our contributors! We hope and pray that everyone will continue to keep the Food Pantry in the front of their minds, so these excellent donations will continue. Think, first Sunday of the month, Food Pantry. The food bags we give out contain certain staple items, and we usually have to supplement what is brought in with purchased food. Special line items on the pew envelopes allow people to make donations for that. In addition, two of our members have been approved for Thrivent mini-grants in the form of $250 Visa cards, providing “seed money” for our food pantry activities. We are looking for more Thrivent members to apply for these mini-grants. Two other gift sources are providing funding for the Food Pantry – • People who purchased tickets to the Shrove Tuesday pancake supper that had to be cancelled due to snow, were given the option, thanks to Carol Fountain, to have their money refunded or donate it to the Food Pantry. Most everyone chose the donation. • A couple of months ago, Mary Smith donated a large ceramic Christmas scene that she handpainted in 1983. She wanted it to be auctioned or raffled off to benefit the Food Pantry, and we did both! Thanks to everyone who purchased tickets, we raised $230. Mary would be pleased! SAVE THE DATE: The Good Gifts Fair will be held this fall in Ellenberger Hall. You can start thinking about people on your gift list that would appreciate a “Good Gift”. (For

Evangelism Today… Evangelism is what it always was and much more. Evangelism is a Greek word meaning good news. To be about the task of evangelism is to announce the Good News of Jesus through word and deed. But what does an Evangelism Team do? The ELCA website tells us… Evangelism Team Job description: + Become an ambassador of Christ, Sunday through Saturday + Share the good news of Jesus Christ during one-to-one conversations in daily life + Invite family, friends and acquaintances to learn more about God’s love + Invite people to join our congregation for worship, study, fellowship, and service + Witness to Jesus by living a compassionate, gracious and loving life + Welcome guests who come to church activities + Encourage each other to grow in faith Wait a minute! Doesn’t that sound like the calling of every follower of Jesus? Each of us is called to be a witness to Jesus Christ. Absolutely! Jesus said, “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

A joyous wedding anniversary! May the love you share continue to grow with each passing year. “Beloved, let us love one another because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.” 1 John 4:7 Congratulations to all who celebrate! If you find an “active” member’s name missing, it simply means that our church records are incomplete. We will be happy to add that information as you provide it to the church office. For assistance, please call 410-866-8766. Let us know of any omission so that we may update the church record and not miss you the next time.
