FAQ's For A New Pastor -

FAQ’s for the Pastor – What if the sermon

stirs up questions for me?

Good! Yes really, good! Sermons are invitations. God has gifted

us with a rich array of possible responses to what we hear from

the pulpit. Faith is developed not only by hearing the gospel, but

by wrestling with what it means. Doubt is normal, so consider

welcoming it as part of your faith formation. Perhaps doubt is like

a friend who lovingly nudges you to move forward.

23 Jesus said to him, “If you are able!—All things can be done for the

one who believes.” 24

Immediately the father of the child cried

out,“I believe; help my unbelief!” (Mark 9: 23 – 24, NRSV)

Prayer time is essential for talking with God. This is

both speaking and listening to God, and typically not in that

order!

Be still, and know that I am God!

I am exalted among the nations,

I am exalted in the earth.”

(Psalm 46:10, NRSV)

Shared time spent serving God in our neighborhood,

participating in Bible study, and enjoying fellowship after worship

are opportunities to further conversations begun in the pulpit.

Also, I am here for you and happy to be a discussion partner.

Brothers and sisters in Christ, be bold! Use your Christian

imaginations to launch how you love and serve Christ

daily. Lean into God’s promises.

ST. ANSGAR WAS RECOGNIZED, AT OUR

JUNE SYNOD ASSEMBLY, FOR BEING ONE

OF THE TOP TWO GIVERS (PER CAPITA) IN

OUR REGION TO ELCA WORLD HUNGER.

PRAISE AND THANKS TO GOD

FOR YOUR GENEROSITY.

19

We are called to go forth and spread the good news of Jesus

Christ, our Lord and Savior. One of the best ways to share

your faith is to get involved with educating and being a good

example for today’s youth. St. Ansgar has upcoming events

this summer where your help is needed to “spread the good

news”.

During Wednesday nights in July the church will be

celebrating “Jesus in July”. And then during the first week

of August “Vacation Bible School” will be held. These two

events need adults to participate in the fun, laughter and the

sharing of their faith.

Please contact Pastor Kristen, Church Secretary

Donna at 319-232-2733, or any council member if you would

like to help in anyway.

“Let us focus on generosity, or returning God’s gifts

with increase, through the generous sharing of our

time, talent and treasure.”

If you don’t teach today’s

youth about Jesus, the

World will teach them

otherwise!

Seven ladies went to Country View June 15th to play Bingo with some of the residents. Its always an enjoyable time and the residents (and workers) appreciate it. Those attending were: Yvonne Overmyer and her friend Shirley, Sharon Schaffer, Sharon Johnson, Lou Isley, Roxanne Shankle and Betty Spence. They also delivered the items from St. Ansgar’s May Mission Cross.

WHAT LUTHER SAYS:

Sunday, July 24th,, PRAY FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Peace Prayer: "Together we pray with and for our sisters and

brothers in the Holy Land, lifting up prayers for the peace of

Jerusalem, of Israel, and of Palestine. Lord, where relationships are

broken, where people are isolated – from each other and also

from goods and services that alleviate suffering –and where

political processes meant to restore dignity produce cynicism and

anger, grant that your mercy and life-restoring steadfastness may

astound us, animating in us an eagerness to forgive and be

forgiven. Empower individuals, communities, and nations to be

generous and tenderhearted. Bless Palestinians and Israelis who

dare to take risks for peace. Guide and refresh all those who

accompany them. Amen."

GOD SPEAKS COMFORT

TO THE SOUL IN THE WORD

Apart from the word,

no comfort exists. It certainly

is not possible to comfort a

soul unless it hears the word

of its God. But where in all the

books is God’s Word except in

Scripture. What are we doing by reading

other books and letting this one lie? Other

volumes may indeed trouble and kill us, but

no other book than Scripture is able to com-

fort us. Scripture alone bears the title which

St. Paul gives it, a “Book of Comfort” which

can sustain the soul in all tribulations so that

it does not despair but keeps on hoping.

Pastor Kristen Wipperman

16 I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant

that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power

through his Spirit, 17

and that Christ may dwell in your hearts

through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. …

20 Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to ac-

complish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, 21

to

him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations,

forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians 3:16 – 17, 20 – 21, NRSV)

Notes on Stewardship (diligent care of God’s creation) from

the Pastor – Each month we are taking some time to explore

what stewardship means when we expand upon its typical defini-

tion of how we make, save, and spend our money.

Good Stewardship = Healthy Practices in Caring for All of

God’s Creation

Here are six major facets to these healthy practices.

Social/Inter-personal well-being

Emotional well-being

Physical well-being

Financial well-being

Vocational well-being

Intellectual well-being

Diligent care of God’s creation calls for Social/Inter-personal

well-being We are created by God to be social beings, living in

community and instructed to help and love each other. We main-

tain social well-being through interaction, play and forgive-

ness. Take time to nurture your relationships with family, friends,

neighbors, congregation and co-workers.

From the gospel of Mark, the 31st chapter—

29 Jesus answered,

“The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; 30

you

shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your

soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31

The sec-

ond is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no

other commandment greater than these.” (NRSV)

29-31 Jesus said, “The first in importance is, ‘Listen, Israel: The Lord

your God is one; so love the Lord God with all your passion and

prayer and intelligence and energy.’ And here is the second: ‘Love

others as well as you love yourself.’ There is no other command-

ment that ranks with these.” (The Message)

4

CRAZY QUILTERS The Quilters get together on the second and fourth

Thursday of each month at 9:00 a.m. They gather their

supplies, cut fabric apart and then sew it back together as

they create stacks of quilts which are donated to Lutheran

World Relief to be given to those in need.

You don’t need to know how to sew to help out.

Just show up and someone will give you a job

to do!

The quilters are in need of fabric, old sheets

and batting they use in putting together

the quilts.

WIDOWS’ GROUP—The Widows’ Group

meet once a month for lunch at various

locations.

ALL WIDOWS ARE WELCOME!

(See Betty Spence for more

information.)

The men of St. Ansgar meet at 7:00 am every Wednesday at Southtown Restaurant for breakfast and fellowship.

Join them when you can… there is no meeting, no membership fees, no sign-up sheets, just an enjoyable time with friends!

COUNTY AUDITOR AND COMMISSIONER OF ELECTIONS

GRANT VEEDER

On behalf of Black Hawk County I want to extend our

appreciation to your organization for allowing your site to

serve as an official polling location for the 2016 June

Primary.

The amenities proved by your site provide crucial

accessibility for voters with disabilities. In addition, the extra

effort to designate voter parking helps provide equal voting

access for all voters of the precinct. Your cooperation and

support is very much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Karen Showalter

Elections Manager.

Dear Friends, We are especially grateful to your for your donation of paper products, shampoo and detergent valued at $150.00. Generosity such as yours fostered our beginnings, nurtured our growth and allowed us to continue to serve our communities in a variety of ways. Our services include care to those facing life-limiting illness, grief support for adults and children, palliative care and medical case management to those living with HIV or AIDS. With your support, we are committed to continue “Making Each Moment Matter” for many in need. Most gratefully Chris Olds, Development Director

Last week I attended a vigil at Lincoln Park, downtown

Waterloo. Like many of the vigils across the country,

this vigil was held in memory of the young people who

were shot in Orlando, Florida.

As each deceased person’s name was read, I felt my

heart becoming heavier. I was sad. In the aftermath of

our nation’s worst mass shooting, we heard much of the

same rhetoric we’ve heard before. Yet, this time we wit-

nessed something new: a rebellion (of sorts) against mo-

ments of silence and praying for the victims. What?

Sending our love and prayers for those in pain is our “go

to mechanism,” right?

While I will not stop praying, I’m right there with the

people who no longer want to stay silent. It’s time to

speak up for what you believe in; it’s time to share your

love, kindness and acceptance. It’s time to be tolerant of

those who are different from us.

As we prepare for “Jesus in July”, St. Ansgar is in the

right place, at the right time, to call people in. Let’s

work together to share Jesus’ love, accept those who are

different from us and speak up for those who have been

silenced.

After all, Jesus has a great message to share and

St. Ansgar has the great people to share his message.

July 2016 GOD’S WORK. OUR HANDS.

As a social ministry organization of the ELCA, Lutheran Services in

Iowa (LSI) is so thankful for your partnership in ministry! We give

special thanks for the many congregations making LSI the focus of

their “God’s work. Our hands.” projects.

Past “God’s work. Our hands.” projects have included donations of

tools for dads enrolled in our early childhood programs, plus

children’s books, towel bundles, school supplies and backpacks. LSI

has also been blessed to receive “noisy” offerings, special offerings

and proceeds from yard work or luncheons. Some Sunday School

classes and youth groups have also encouraged youth at LSI’s Beloit

and Bremwood Residential Treatment Centers through quilts and

letters.

We thank you for your witness of God’s love and your service! If you

are interested in ministering to those served by LSI and would like to

know more about current needs, please contact Deb Whitford, LSI

director of philanthropy and church relations, at

[email protected].

Finding Help and Hope

Bernie’s daughter-in-law walked into her house and set her new baby

on the living room sofa. She told Bernie the baby was "a mistake" and

that she couldn't parent him. She never returned. At age 50, Bernie

became a mom to her 2-month-old grandson, Bryce. Bernie's son—the

baby's biological father—had medical and mental health issues that

left him unable to care for the child.

When Bryce was young, he was diagnosed with ADHD, ODD

(Oppositional Defiant Disorder), fetal drug and alcohol syndrome,

mental retardation, and partial bipolar disorder. As he grew older,

Bryce began to develop anger issues. Bernie knew he was struggling,

so she reached out to LSI.

Soon, Bryce began receiving regular home visits from a Behavioral

Health Intervention Services worker, who coached Bryce on anger

management. Bryce also began seeing an LSI therapist.

Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Learn more at:

Today, Bryce is 15 years old. He attends special education classes,

and is doing wonderfully. When he is upset, he reaches out to his LSI

therapist for help. Bryce still struggles with anger, but Bernie and his

LSI support team work together to meet Bryce where he is.

"I want to thank each and every one of our workers from LSI," Bernie

says. "They are doing marvelous work with him."

And thanks to LSI donors, Bryce receives the help, hope, and support

he needs.
