The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” The Lord replied, “If you had faith the size of a mustard
seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”
Luke 17:5-6 Dear Friends in Christ, Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! There are times we need to move trees or at least cut
them down, but have you ever tried to do so using the method Jesus describes here? Probably not! You might
have been tempted to do this with your teenager who refuses to do anything or even with some other stubborn
person of your acquaintance, but we generally do not simply command immoveable objects to move. Why is that? Because it seems impossible? Because we do not want to be thought a fool? Because we are
afraid our faith is not strong enough? Or because such a move really does not seem necessary? We are certain-
ly not above wishing for a certain immoveable object to more, nor are we above praying for it. In fact, we do
pray for such things, as when we pray for a loved one’s cancer to be gone or pray for a certain weight to be lift-
ed from our shoulders. But these things at least seem to be more necessary. In the story above, the disciples ask the Lord to increase their faith in response to his directive to forgive a per-
son who has sinned against them seven times and repented seven times. They do not think they have enough
faith to do that. Do you? We generally have trouble forgiving the first offense, let alone the second or third or
seventh! Jesus is not telling the disciples to move trees in some miraculous way. He is telling his disciples and us that
we have enough faith to forgive people again and again and again. If faith the size of a mustard seed (the small-
est seed thought to exist in those days) is enough to move a tree that is firmly rooted in the ground, then Jesus’
followers have enough faith to forgive those who sin against them. If faith the size of a mustard seed is enough
to do something unnecessary and impossible, then we have enough faith to do something necessary and possi-
ble. And forgiving others is both necessary and possible. For this is exactly what Jesus has done for us. Through
the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ God forgives our sins, and many of them are sins we commit again
and again and again. Whether it is our stubbornness or selfishness or greed or arrogance, God’s grace is suffi-
cient to forgive us every time. Because God is so faithful to love and forgive us, we can love and forgive one
another and others. All it takes is a little bit of faith, and this faith has already been planted in us in baptism.
Actually, it is the faith of Jesus that has been imbedded within us. It is his faith in us that is enough to do what
seems impossible to us—like forgiving sins that others commit against us. Let us pray. Lord Jesus, we thank you for the forgiveness you died to give us. Come and live in and through
us, so that we might be more patient with the frailties and weaknesses of others and so that we might more read-
ily forgive them, as we have been forgiven. Amen. In Christ’s Love, Joy, and Peace,
Pastor Jim

New Synod Staff Announced
The election of a new bishop becomes a time of transition and gives us the opportunity to take a breath, look at
what we have been doing and what we might do in order to fulfill the purpose and mission to which God calls
us now, in this day, in this synod, through this call. Since all synod staff are co-terminus with the bishop (and
therefore everyone’s position ends on August 31) this is also true regarding staff positions. This transition is a time to assess; what staffing is needed to support the priorities of our work together as a
synod, the funding available for those staff positions, and the best persons to take on the changing roles. In
conversation with the executive committee of the synod council, I proposed the following staffing structure
with some basic responsibilities outlined. Additionally, the following people have accepted these new posi-
tions which will begin September 1.
Bishop’s Associate (full time) - Rev. Dave Whetter
Congregational transitions
Leadership development
Congregational support
Preaching, teaching, visiting congregations Bishop’s Associate for Congregational Relations and Mission Support (part-time) –
Rev. Christyn Koschmann
Connecting congregations to the mission of the synod
Mission support
Mission interpretation Director for Communications (full time) – Tim Anderson
Designing and maintaining the synod website
Producing the synod e-newsletter
Coordinating AV at synod events
Relator to synod ministries teams and committees Synod Administrator (full time) – Dawne Bockelman
Office management
Event planning and coordination
Roster and candidacy coordinator Directors for Evangelical Mission (two half-time positions funded by the ELCA) –
Rev. Donna Simon (Kansas City)
Rev. Kendra Nolde (St. Louis)
Congregational Vitality
New Ministries
Area Ministry Strategies
This staffing structure reduces the synod staff the equivalent of a ¾ time position. I appreciate your patience as
the new staff works together to make sure we are serving the synod as effectively as possible. I also want to express my appreciation for the leadership of Bishop Roger Gustafson, Bishop’s Associate
Keith Hohly, and synod administrator Sandy VanTuyl and pray God’s blessings on their next endeavors.
While change can be challenging and difficult, it also presents us with new opportunities. I look forward to
exploring those new opportunities with you and am excited to work with the new staff.
The Rev. Susan Candea, Bishop-Elect
Central States Synod, ELCA

support from the churches! Thanks also to the Smoky Valley Community Foundation,
the McPherson County Community Foundation, and Thrivent for KICK grants.

HOW DOES A PERSON GET A STEPHEN MINISTER?
Have you ever wondered how Stephen Ministers (Caregivers) and people with significant
needs (Care Receivers) meet up with each other? That question could be answered in
more than one way.
For instance, our Stephen Leaders have had training and have been given a “road map” for
seeking out people who need somebody to walk alongside them when they are going
through a rough patch and then matching them with well-trained Stephen Ministers. The
seeking process relies on referrals from many sources—the pastor, the Stephen Ministry
team, and individuals in the congregation who are concerned about someone else or who
want some help for themselves.
Names that surface from any of these sources must find their way to our Stephen Leaders
in charge of referrals. At Bethany Church they are Jim Nelson and Donna Ruble. A good
thing to remember before mentioning someone as a referral is to get permission to do so.
It’s as easy as saying, “I know you are having a difficult time new. Would it be okay with
you if I asked a Stephen Leader to talk to you about having a Stephen Minister?”
If the answer is yes, you would tell Jim or Donna or any other Stephen Leader (Holly
Johnson, Willis Larson, or Sharon Palmquist) and they would take it from there. If a
Stephen Minister is available, meaning he or she does not already have a care receiver,
and would be an appropriate match for the individual, then the process for beginning a
caring relationship can begin.
Another answer to the opening question is much broader and has a faith dimension that
cannot be overstated. I believe the Holy Spirit is at work in Bethany Church in everything
we do, including Stephen Ministry. How else would we know who needs our care? And
how else would we have Stephen Ministers to help them? When Stephen Ministers meet
new care receivers, they don’t go alone. Jesus is beside them every step of the way and in
the center as a model for everything they do. Stephen Ministry is too big for us to do by
ourselves. We rely on the Holy Spirit and the guidance that has sustained us at Bethany
Church for twenty plus years. Thanks be to God! - Sharon Palmquist
