WORSHIP IN JUNE
June 5 will find worship with
the summer schedule beginning
and outdoors! From this date until
after Labor Day there will be one
service only at 9:30 a.m. On June 5
the worship will be outdoors on the
front lawn, weather permitting. The
worship setting will be the Chicago
Folk Service.
This is the Sunday before the
Adult Mission Trip, and those going
on the trip will receive a blessing
and sending.
Following worship there will
be a pause for set up for the annual
church picnic. During that time, we
will celebrate the anniversaries and
birthdays occurring in June with
games and fellowship. Cake will be
served at the picnic. See the article
elsewhere about the picnic. This is
also the final day of Vacation Bible
School, ending with a service pro-
ject at Gateway 180. Those who join
the service team will leave from the
worship to go the service project.
June 12 is “Sunday of Soli-
darity.” This Sunday is designated
as a Sunday in our ELCA Central
States Synod to declare our solidari-
ty and hold in prayer our compan-
ion synod, the Kotte District of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in Pa-
pua New Guinea. This date is cho-
sen because it was in the summer
of 1876 that the first Lutheran mis-
sionary arrived in PNG to begin mis-
sion work. As it turns out, Noah
Hornbeck of Christ Lutheran will be
in PNG with the Companion Synod
team on this Sunday.
June 19 is Father’s Day. We
remember the fathers this day in
the prayers and the service.
The gospel readings in June
are from the seventh and eight
chapters of Luke. We hear of Jesus
in his ministry as he encounters
people of different religious back-
grounds and those who are ill or
dead and works miracles.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
The joint Christ Lutheran and
Emmanuel Episcopal Vacation Bible
School will be held Wednesday
through Friday, June 1-3 with a fam-
ily service opportunity on Sunday,
June 5. Children ages 3 (potty-
trained) through those entering 4th
grade are invited to come. VBS will
be located at Emmanuel Episcopal
and will be held from 9 a.m.to noon
Wednesday and Thursday and from
9 a.m. through lunch on Friday
when a lunch of grilled hotdogs and
root beer floats will be served. On
Sunday, June 5, all families are invit-
ed to meet at Emmanuel at 11 a.m.
for a trip to Gateway 180 Homeless
Shelter.
Families from Christ and Em-
manuel will be serving lunch to the
homeless of Gateway 180 on June
5. If you would like to donate a des-
sert (cookies, bars, brownies) to
this service event, please drop it off
at Christ by 11 a.m. on June 5th.
Visit www.christwg.org to register.

Church Picnic on June 5th, following
the worship service which will begin

ve McCaaaaaargh-ty and their little mates,

lies with young kiddos to a Pirate Pool Party on

Christ Lutheran—Best Spot in Town for 4th of July Parade Watching
Looking for a great spot to watch the
Webster Groves Community Days Independence
Day parade??? Look no further than Christ Lu-
theran! Not only will you have a great viewing
spot, but there will be a barbeque and potluck
afterwards. Please contact Joan O’Brien if you
can help with set or clean up for that event.
We will also act as hosts to other parade
watchers and participants by opening our
downstairs restrooms for the public’s use dur-
ing the parade. We need members to act as
hosts during that time. We also hand out cool
water to those needing a drink.
Kitchen Crew Reminder The Kitchen Crew has been busy! Check
out the table in the Fellowship Hall for any
items that might belong to you!
Please recycle plastic cups in the tubs
next to trash cans in the Fellowship Hall.
Thanks for your cooperation!
Adult Mission Trip Adults from Christ Lutheran will be join-
ing several others from Emmanuel Episcopal for
the combined Adult Mission Trip to Mission,
South Dakota. The group returns each year to
do either building work or fix up and clean up
in the community. There is normally a partial
day for a group activity. Mission is located at
the heart of the Rosebud Reservation. The
group stays at the site of the former Bishop
Hare Mission School. The dates of the week are
June 11-18.
Again this year they are looking for do-
nations of cloth yardage to take to the quilters
on the reservation. The yardage should be at
least 3/4 of a yard in length and made of cot-
ton—other materials are not required. Dona-
tions can be put in the box in the narthex.
Central States ELCA Synod Assembly The Central States Synod Assembly is
June 2-4 in Wichita, Kansas. “Giving in Hope” is
the assembly theme. Grace Duddy Pomroy and
the Rev. Len Dale are the keynote speakers.
The assembly begins on Thursday evening with
dinner and worship. Friday's agenda includes
presentations and workshops on giving and
stewardship, as well as the opportunity to en-
joy the River Festival activities that night. It
concludes on Saturday with business and wor-
ship. Pastors Penny and Keith will be attending.
Pastoral Acts
Larry Strahan died in the Lord
in March 25. His memorial service
was at Christ Lutheran on May 7.
Leo Armstrong died in the
Lord on May 3. His funeral was at
Christ Lutheran on May 7 with inter-
ment at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery
on May 9.
We commend Larry and Leo to the hands
of our loving and life-giving God and pray for
comfort and peace for all who mourn them.

Tuesday Morning Bible Study During
the summer months, this class will meet about
once a month at a day, time and location to be
determined. Watch the weekly Sunday bulletins
for a meeting announcement. You are welcome
to join them on any occasion you might like.
Currently they are discussing a concise biog-
raphy of Martin Luther by Lutheran theologian,
Martin Marty, using a study guide, "Martin Lu-
ther's Ninety-Five Theses," edited by Stephen J.
Nichols. Questions? Contact Carolyn Crowe,
314-277-2164.
SOUND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
Sound system improvements are being
made both in the worship sanctuary and in Fel-
lowship Hall. The improvements will bring the
system into the digital age and provide better
control of sound volume. It will give more
space in the choir loft for the Bell Choir, and
more inputs on the main level for special music
instruments and vocalists. A “sequencer” will
allow the system to power up in a way which
will extend the life of the equipment.
In Fellowship Hall ceiling speakers are
being installed with a new amplifier and inputs
around the room to allow voice and instru-
ments. A feed from the sanctuary will also al-
low sound from the worship area to be heard
downstairs.
The Church Council has approved the
expenditures from the Memorial Fund.
AREA CHURCHES HOPE TO SPONSOR SYRIAN REFUGEE
Several organizations in Webster Groves
had come together hoping to enable Wafaa
Abuelula, a 21-year-old Palestinian Syrian wom-
an to study at Webster University. Wafaa is liv-
ing in Turkey as a refugee from Yarmouk, Syria.
An organization of Christian women, including
Rev. Martie Metzler, serving Emmanuel Episco-
pal in Webster Groves, is sponsoring Wafaa as a
way of doing a small part to help the Syrian ref-
ugee crisis. First Congregational, Emmanuel
Episcopal and Peace UCC congregations have
contributed cash. The Sisters of Loretto have
agreed to give her room and board but more
money is needed for her tuition and books.
Rev. Metlzer is hoping churches and individuals
will help make Wafaa’s dream of a better life
come true.
The women met Wafaa when they trav-
elled to Turkey to work in a refugee camp
where Wafaa lives and has been taking college-
preparatory classes in hopes of coming to the
U.S. In a letter to the sponsoring women Wafaa
writes, “One of the things I learned in the past
two years is that to be able to have a better life
I need to be able to study and earn a degree
from University. The opportunities in Turkey
are not very good especially for a Palestinian/
Syrian girl. . . I would be so grateful if you were
willing to help me achieve this.”
For more information or to make a con-
tribution contact the church office (314-962-
6011) or the pastors.
SAVE THE DATES!
Saturday, August 6th will be a Day in the Country at the O’Briens’ home near St. Clair,
Missouri. A beautiful oasis in Ozark country with lake and river views is the backdrop for this
fun fellowship event. There is time for fishing, swimming, floating on the Meramec and so
much more. More information will be available in the July newsletter. Mark August 6 on your
calendar!
You definitely don’t want to miss the next “Potluck and Praise” night on August 13th.
Check out the picture of the first one to see all the happenings . We will be blessing the back-
packs as we prepare to send our little one’s back to school!

I look at the June church calendar
and I see many activities planned for the
month. We have Vacation Bible School with
the service trip to Gateway 180 Shelter.
Noah Hornbeck will be leaving for the Com-
panion Synod trip to Papua New Guinea.
There will be several leaving for the adult
mission trip to South Dakota. Senior high
youth will be making plans for their mis-
sion trip to the Group Work Camp in Ham-
mond, IN in July. Meanwhile we will have a
church picnic and a family pool party and
our Junior high youth will be going to Con-
firmation Camp. We pastors will be attend-
ing the synod assembly, also.
Many of these activities are ways to
reach out to be in mission and to connect
with other Christians. They help to bring
the fellowship of Christ to others, as well
as to help and bring healing to the world.
These kinds of things are important for liv-
ing out the Christian life.
It is hard to have the motivation and
determination to do the connecting and
serving without the strength we receive
from one another. We need the community
of worship, of picnics and pool parties to
have a base from which to reach out and
serve. We do better together when we
grow together and build up one another.
It’s good to have a balance in what
we do. We can stretch ourselves too thin
and become weary if we are in service con-
tinually and have no way to strengthen our
spirits. If we spend the greater share of
our time in fellowship and personal spiritu-
al growth, but do not exercise it in service,
we miss out on the opportunity to reach
out in love as Jesus has called us to.
June is a good month to do both. We
have good opportunities for fellowship, but
also to serve. As we keep them in balance,
we are healthy to live the faith.
Peace in Christ,
Pr. Keith
“In Community to Serve”
NOAH HORNBECK LEAVES FOR PAPUA NEW GUINEA JUNE 8
Noah Hornbeck, recent graduate from
Webster Groves High School, will be leaving
June 8 for his two-week trip to visit Papua New
Guinea, a nation occupying the eastern half of
the island of New Guinea, situated north of
Australia. Noah will be accompanied by four
other youth and three adults as they represent
the Central States Synod in the Kote District of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New
Guinea (ELCPNG), which is one of our compan-
ion synods.
Noah put his own money toward the
cost and the congregation made significant
donations to help him meet his goal of
$1,500. The group will spend a few days at
the beginning and end of the trip in Australia
but most of the time they will spend traveling
through the countryside, meeting PNG youth
and attending the ELCPNG youth convention.
REFORMATION TRIPS TO GERMANY
Rob Schainker of Gethsemane Lutheran
is sponsoring a trip to Germany during the
500th anniversary year of the Lutheran Refor-
mation. The 12-day trip begins in Berlin and
ends in Munich with Lutheran cities including
Wittenberg in between. Schainker works with
Jan’s Travel. The trip is a Globus tour. Dates
are June 8-18, 2017. Price is $2,886 land only.
Contact Rob at 314-965-1005 or at rschain-
ker@janstravel.com. Pr. Keith has a copy of the
itinerary to share, also.
Word will be coming soon about addi-
tional Reformation anniversary trips being of-
fered through the Central States Synod.
Contact Joan O’Brien if you are interest-
ed in a trip based with Christ Lutheran.

Epworth – June Green Envelope Charity
June’s Green Envelope Charity is Epworth
Children & Family Services. Epworth was
founded in 1864 as a mission of the United
Methodist Church to care for Civil War orphans.
Epworth has evolved over the years in order to
meet the changing needs of the community
and now offers more than one dozen programs
serving more than 5,300 youth and families

tial services including therapeutic services such

ing severe emotional and behavioral challeng-
es, special education, family reunification,
emergency shelter, transitional/independent
living, foster care, violence prevention, and

homes due to abuse or neglect as well as youth
who are homeless and without any family sup-

“And the Lord went before them by
day in a pillar of cloud to
lead them along the way,
and by night in a pillar of
fire to give them light
that they might travel by
day and by night.” Exo-
dus 13:21 God led the
people of Israel out of
Egypt and He continues
to lead us by day and by
night.
The Women’s
Group enjoyed a picnic at Memorial Park in
Brentwood in May. Our women deserve
“exceptional merit as originators.” The par-
ticipants who attended will probably be able
to decipher the meaning
of the phrase for you.
God truly led us that
day. Showers were pre-
dicted, but it did not
rain until we were safely
back in our automo-
biles, prepared to go
our separate ways. Re-
member God does lead
us—all we need to do is
follow! (The Women’s
Group is on summer hi-
atus until September.
See You in Church!
