The ever present, but seemingly allusive JOY!

Have you ever felt that joy is just out of your reach, that if only this would happen, or that would

happen, then you are sure you would find joy again.

I don’t know about you but from time to time I have found myself in a place where I had lost my joy. It

seemed to be just around the corner. I was sure I would find it after this situation or that encounter. But,

alas, it seemed to be always out of my reach. I had to stop and ask myself why was this? Was I content

to live without it?

So I dug into scripture; here is what I found:

But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and

service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all. And you too, I

urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

Philippians 2:17-18

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (Philippians 4:4).

Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see

him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious

joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls

(1 Peter 1:8-9).

As I read these passages, God brought to mind my last mission trip to the orphanage in Guatemala:

Early one morning I was standing in the back of the toddler room looking at 20 young three-, four- and

five-year old orphans. They were dressed in mis-matched clothes--no parents, nothing to call their own,

no toys, no pets, no one to rock them to sleep at night, or comfort them when they were sick or had a

bad dream. I was feeling quite sorry for them, really. And then I watched as they gathered around a

bench with their house mom. Tears come to my eyes as I remember the words that I heard them speak

that morning. “We may not have very much, we may not have a family, but we have the love of Jesus,

and that is enough. We rejoice for what we have been given! ”

Do I have that kind of deep and abiding sense of joy? I'm not talking about getting the right Sunday

school response to this question. Does your heart tune itself to joy?

Or, has true joy been crowded out of your life--like it has mine--by the distractions of the daily routine,

the aches and pains of aging, or the trials that circumstances can bring? I know over this last year mine

had. I allowed so many things to rob me of the joy that is rightfully mine in the Lord. No one made me

put my joy down; I did that all on my own.

I asked myself whether I had a deep and abiding sense of joy as I face life.

I'm talking about the basic orientation I have toward life at the core of my soul. Do I orient my outlook

around joy or do I see all the things that are negative, discouraging, lacking, or incomplete?

So I cried out to Jesus, unsatisfied with where I found myself. I soon noticed the common element in the

Scriptures quoted at the beginning of this page: The Lord! The Lord is the basis of true joy.

Page 4: Inside this issue - images.acswebnetworks.comimages.acswebnetworks.com/1/2467/NewsMay20131.pdf · Happy Anniversary Happy Birthday ... 22 Jim Johnson 23 Linda Evans ... 24 Sam Seevers

It is freely mine for the taking. God revealed to me that this joy I seemed to long for was never but an

arm’s length from me. I had let it go. I had set it down. I had chosen to walk a few steps away from

it. It was there the whole time. God was patiently waiting by my side, with all the Joy, Peace, and

Love that He wished to lavish upon me, and waiting until I was ready to pick it back up, to accept it

back into my life as the birthright He had afforded me.

And so I have picked it back up!

Today, I find myself often singing in my head, and some times out loud that sweet little song we learned

as kids:

I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart,

Where?

Down in my heart.

To stay.

And I’m so happy, so very happy, I have the Love of Jesus in my heart!

I sing it to remind myself that joy is not about circumstances or what is right in the world. It isn’t about

life going just as I had planned or everyone being nice to me. It’s simply about Jesus and the price He

has already paid for my life. Its about the relationship that God offers me and the new life I have in

Him.

So if you see me humming that song, know that I am simply reminding myself that I’ve got joy and it’s

here to stay. But, good brothers and sisters, if you sense that I have seemed to misplaced my joy, as

often happens over time, feel free to remind me that I have laid it down once and again and I should

pick it back up. For I am and always will be a work in progress.

Lutheran School

Moments By: School Ministry Director, Karla McDivitt

Healthy Church Cultures

-excerpts from Mike Andrews and Andy Stanley

The Andy Stanley Leadership Podcast from November 2011 was about organizational culture – the

way a group/organization expresses values/vision. It’s the way things are going, the way people are

feeling/acting/reacting, the way we do things, attitudes . . . “This is who we are & how we do things.”

Here are some things for us to consider:

We can say whatever we want in describing our vision, but if the culture of our church or ministry

doesn’t support what we say is important, then even the greatest statements have very little real value.

Every organization has an organizational culture & the leader(s) who are responsible for shaping that

culture. Are we just operating by default or are we purposefully shaping our culture? The longer a

leader(s) has been in an organization, the more responsibility they carry for the culture of that

organization.

Healthy cultures attract & keep healthy people, so the culture of an organization impacts the long term

productivity of the organization. In some cases it may be possible for the worker or layman to begin to

reshape the culture around them, but unhealthy cultures are very slow to adapt to change, so it’s a rough

road. This is no different in the church. People who have gotten serious about accomplishing the

mission passed to us from Jesus won’t be able to hang around very long in a church where not much is

happening to further that mission.

When we think of the church, we don’t always think in terms of organization/leadership, and it may

even be a little uncomfortable to talk about the church this way. The church is a different kind of

organization, where the leader is the servant, where top-down strategy was flipped over when the “head

honcho” got off His throne and picked up a cross. And while we are a living, breathing Body with Jesus

as our head, we still function organizationally. We can benefit greatly by shaping healthy cultures in our

churches and ministries.

Maybe it’s time we learn to “be still” instead of spinning our wheels – to wait for God, listen to Him, then do

what He tells us to do . . .

Are there ways we need to shift our focus away from our own members?

Could we cut down the histrionics if we’d deal with the underlying issues that are causing people to grumble

at the slightest annoyances?

Worth Quoting

Pastor Keith Speaks, Hales Corner Lutheran Church &

Schools, “Remember, if God did not have a plan for your

life, once He brought you to faith through the Holy Spirit,

He would have simply taken you home to heaven.”

Christian Life FormationChristian Life Formation ~ Tim & Heidi Koehler~ Tim & Heidi Koehler

The Call Team is resuming regular meetings to consider the newest list of candidates submitted

to us by Synod. We ask for your patience and prayers as we move into our next phase of

searching for the Lord’s choice to lead our congregation.

Call Team UpdateCall Team Update

Let’s Rock (3yrs-4th grade)

Our Last Let’s Rock for the 2012-2013 school year is Sunday, May 19. We will

be having a wonderful celebration including the baptism of two of our Let’s

Rock students. We will meet in the fellowship hall that day and then going to

church for the first 20 min. After the baptisms we will then exit and proceed

down to the school gym where we will have the end of the year party and baptism celebration.

Parents can still pick up their students at 10:30am.

Club 58 (5-8th

grade)

We will be wrapping up our Wednesday evenings on May 1 with a fun party to celebrate all the

accomplishments of our kids and a great year. Also wrapping up is the Club 58 Sunday edition

on May 19. All Club 58 students who wish to attend on Sundays in the summer are welcome to

join in the youth room for the Collision Bible study.

Collision (Sr. High)

We are still holding Bible study for this age group. We will be meeting most Sundays from 9:30

to 10:30am in the youth room as usual.

VBS Decoration Time

We will be putting together VBS decorations June 10-13, 2013. We need all

youth and adults who can help from 9:00am-1:00pm those days. VBS is al-

ways such a wonderful and exciting time for the children and is due, in great

part, to the helpers we get to make those fabulous decorations.

VBS Volunteers:

If you are in the 7th grade or are 99 years young we need you! We

need VBS guides and helpers to pull off another wonderful VBS this

year. Your help is crucial. Please go to www.FLCS-oh.org and click on

th Graders:

Our 5th and 6

th graders again this year will be headed out to our community to serve. They will

be serving at the Akron/Canton food bank, Open m, Hattie Larlham, Salvation Army and a pro-

ject just for FLCS. If you or some one you now is interested in this component of VBS, please

StewardshipStewardship Lloyd GoettlerLloyd Goettler

Stewardship of Love

Stewardship involves the trust, productive usage and return of some precious gift from God. It

could be the time allotted us for doing deeds on earth, our skills and talents needed to accom-

plish those works, our material resources accrued from exercising those abilities. Could it not

even be considered to include the love, which is the very nature of God, bestowed on us by his

Son, our beloved savior Jesus Christ? It was through love that Jesus went to the cross for us to

redeem us from our sins. How should we now respond to that selfless act? Through knowing,

following and emulating Him, as our FLCS creed suggests.

Consider the spectrum of all-encompassing love: compassion, gratefulness, forgiveness, thought-

fulness, respect, honor, consideration, mercy. We could strive to display these traits in all aspects

of our daily lives - considering others above ourselves, forgiving those who disagree or go to bat-

tle with us, hoping that others will succeed in their worthy endeavors and then rejoicing when

they do, even if to our own detriment. Does there seem to be a hurdle in achieving such behav-

ior? Yes, it may require us to seemingly put our own interests at risk, as in all forms of steward-

ship, by denying our selfish aims or by deflating our self image. But what we stand to gain is

much greater - the joy of enlightened fellowship with Christ and his church. In this true light of

love, all activities and relationships are blessed as we rely on Him to show us the way.

Jesus said, as recorded in John 13:34-35 (NLT), “So now I am giving you a new commandment:

Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one an-

other will prove to the world that you are my disciples”. In the words of the 1965 popular song

with lyrics by Hal David and music composed by Burt Bacharach,

"What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It's the only thing that there's just too little of..".

Sharing love from His infinite supply certainly does not impoverish us, but rather serves to enrich

all who give and receive it.

Dear FLC Family,

Gayle and I would like to offer our most heartfelt gratitude and love to our Fairlawn

Lutheran family. We have been so blessed with your constant prayers of support and healing. We

especially want to thank the Meals Ministry and others for the wonderful dinners that were

delivered; and the Prayer Shawl Ministry for the meaningful gift of a prayer shawl. We feel so

blessed to be a part of such a loving and caring congregation. May our Lord con-

tinue to bless our Family at Fairlawn Lutheran Church.

In Christian Love,

Jan

May Mission TripMay Mission Trip

FLC’s Evangelism Team has been revived. Among other things, this means we will have adult

missions trips like we did several years ago. We had two servant events (as Lutherans like to call

them) each year from 2003 through 2007. Including Jamaica, Pittsburgh, Caldwell, Cleveland,

and one of my favorites Chicken Holler, West Virginia.

Beginning this month, we will resume an adult mission trip in the spring and the fall of each year.

Our first will be May 17-18-19. We will partner with Southeast Ohio Ministries (SEOM) and

Lutheran Social Services (LSS) for this servant event.

Room and board will be at the Caldwell OH distribution center. It’s about a two hour drive

from Fairlawn, south on I-77 towards Marietta.

We have need for two groups which I will call “builders” and “organizers”. Builders will quite

likely build a wheelchair ramp for a family which has a mobility issue. Organizers will work at

the direction of Mary Woodward to help organize the Caldwell distribution center. Each of us

have the option to return Saturday evening after dinner, or Sunday after a local church service.

There is a signup sheet in the narthex. We need 12 builders and 8 organizers. Cost to the partici-

pants will be $50 to cover the cost of food, drinks, and fuel for the trip. The cost is held down

by a generous Thrivent Choice grant for which we are very grateful.

FLCS THRIVENT GRANTS APPROVED: Two FLC Thrivent Choice grants were awarded in

recent weeks at $1000 each. They are the Evangelism Ministry adult service mission to central

Ohio and the FLC Reconciliation Project being managed by Church Council.

For information on Thrivent Choice grants that might potentially fund ministries of interest to

you, contact Jim Kroeger, FLCS Thrivent Lead Advocate, at 330-864-8389 or

[email protected].

CHAPTER SOCIAL EVENT: The Thrivent Summit-Portage is sponsoring “A Day Out with

Thomas the Tank Engine” on Saturday, May 18. The day will feature a ride on the Cuyahoga

Valley Scenic Railway departing from the Peninsula Depot and a story during the trip. Partici-

pants are to arrive at 1030am for an 1130am departure. There will be special activities before

and after the excursion.

Tickets are $7.00 (a $14 value) for adults and children over 2 years of age. Children under 2 do

not require a ticket, but will not have a seat of their own. Seating is limited and ordering

deadline is May 11.

For tickets and other information, contact Ron Bergen at 330-922-9923 or [email protected].

FUTURE CHAPTER EVENTS:

- July 12, Akron Aeros Game

- October, Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railway departing Akron Station

HUMAN CARE MISSION FOR JUNE:

PERSONAL CARE ITEMS FOR HAVEN OF REST/HARVEST HOME

It’s not too soon to begin gathering personal care items for Haven of Rest /Harvest

Home. Most every week there are selected sale items at the area drug and grocery stores.

This collection has become an annual event for FLCS for the month of June. There is al-

ways an increased need in summer for such items as bars of soap, body cleansers, sham-

poo and conditioner, toothbrushes and toothpaste, body lotion and deodorant. Look for

further details in the June Connections.

See the Mission Tower for details and ticket order forms.

I see it every day. A person who has never felt the need for financial guidance walks through my

door right after a significant life event–maybe the birth of a child, a marriage or even an unex-

pected inheritance. Life events like these trigger the need to meet with your financial representa-

tive to ensure that your financial strategy is on track with your goals.

Marriage. About two-thirds of married people say they disagree with their spouse about

money. A good way to lessen the stress is to discuss your values, goals and needs with a financial

professional and make decisions together.

Birth or adoption of a child. Making room in your budget for the new addition is important.

It’s also important to evaluate your need for additional disability income and life insurance cov-

erage. Many new parents start looking at college funding

options as well.

Inheritance. Many people devote time and attention to what will happen if they die, but often

overlook the fact that they might receive a loved one’s legacy. A financial professional can help

you responsibly steward and invest the money in ways that align with your values, goals and

needs.

Retirement. Both financially preparing for retirement and appropriately tapping one’s financial

assets in retirement are key needs in our changing society.
