2015 Youth

Mission Trip Memories

Thank you Messiah for your

support and prayers for the 2015

high school mission trip! Just over a

month ago, 33 youth and 10 adults

from Messiah traveled to

Wetumpka, AL. The experience was

extraordinary and I am so moved

and inspired by the youth and

adults of our community. The week

was spent serving the community

through work projects painting

homes, working with children in a

Kids’ Club and visiting with

residents of a nursing home. Every

evening as we gathered for church

time, the youth and adults were

bursting with details of their day

and the ways that their hearts and

minds were touched and moved by

the community we served. The

youth look forward to sharing

reflections from their summer

journey with you his fall.

By Pastor Jeff Vanden Heuvel

From The Pastor

By Teresa Palumbo,

Youth and Family Ministry Coordinator

It was the last day of vacation this sum-

mer and the children were still sleeping. I was

sitting on the screened in porch at the place we

were staying and enjoying a cup of coffee. I was

listening to the birds, and just relaxing. Against

my first impulse I decided to open my email. One

should never do that on vacation! Amidst all of

the personal correspondence there was also a

note from the bank reminding me that we had

just made three payments. The MG&E bill had

been sent out, also a credit card payment to Best

Buy, and of course the monthly car payment.

Ugh, I thought to myself, will there ever be

enough money in our checking account where I

will feel comfortable? Will I ever NOT worry about

money? Will we ever have enough? I wish I were

wealthy! I took another sip of coffee, sat back

and closed my eyes. I reflected back on the mem-

ories of this summer.

I remembered feeling pride at Ben's com-

pletion ceremony from Whitehorse middle

school, his trip to Washington DC and the great

adventure he shared with friends. I thought of

how excited Joey was to finish the sixth grade

and get on with the summer. I recalled the many

bicycle rides that I took with Rachel and her joy in

every new experience. My thoughts fell to the

walks with Melissa and the many talks, the trip to

Neenah and sitting at my mom’s bedside as she

returned from shoulder surgery. I thought of the

gathering with my family in Shawano - raucous

T H E C O L U M N P a g e 3

laughter and deep love of my brothers

and sisters. I remembered Melissa’s and

Ben’s excitement as they returned from

Alabama and my claim to the title of

World’s OK-est Dad! There was the even-

ing at the Mallards game and another at

the Timber Rattlers in Appleton when Joey

won a Baseball Bingo contest, and another

exciting outing at Miller Park with Ben. I

recalled watching Rachel swim at Devils

Lake, the trip to Wisconsin Dells with my

in-laws, the outing at Noah's Ark, the hike

in Witch's Gulch, horseback riding with

Rachel, swimming in the rain, and looking

up at the stars, having Ben teach me to

play euchre, going for ice cream, miniature

golfing with Joey, playing with our dog

Sprecher, worshipping on Sunday morn-

ings at Messiah, telling stories, sharing

jokes, and stretching the truth! All of these

memories came flooding back – and so

many more.

I leisurely drank my cup of coffee

thinking of the past three months – and

thought of how foolish I was. I had longed

to be wealthy and the Divine One had al-

lowed me so many wonderful memories. I

could hear the Spirit of God speak to me

in the depths of my heart: Never forget

dear Jeff, memories make you rich!

Memories make you rich! That

could be a line straight out of the Old Tes-

tament. Having spent Sunday mornings

this summer preaching on texts from the

prophets, Ezekiel and Hosea, Jeremiah and

Amos, I’m beginning to realize that the

common thread of all their preaching has

to do with memories. Each of the prophets

in his own way is calling the children of

Israel to remember – to recall the great

deeds of God that give their lives mean-

ing. The Hebrew people are calling out to

God unceasingly. They ask for wealth and

comfort. They long for ease and power.

They want freedom from stress and prob-

lems. Still the prophets cause them to re-

member the Divine One and all that God

has given them. They tell them that God is

always on their side. The prophets remind

the Children of Israel that they are already

rich!

I think it is important every so of-

ten – perhaps even daily – to reflect back

and remember what gives your life mean-

ing. In what ways has God blessed you this

day, this week, this summer? What are the

events that have given you joy, and peo-

ple that have offered you love, and adven-

tures that have filled you with life? What

are the memories that you cherish above

all else? Take some time this week, close

your eyes and remember the beauty of

your life. Perhaps you will hear in the

depths of your heart what I heard last

week:

Never forget dear Child of God,

memories make you rich!

Treasurer’s Report By Tim Coulthart, Treasurer and

Business Manager

We are now 33 weeks into

the budget year and

Pledged Revenue received

to date is $265,300

compared to the budget of

$227,300, so we are

$38,000 ahead of the

budget.

One reason for the large

jump in Pledged Revenue

was the donation of

appreciated stock by two

families. Donated stock

allows the donor to avoid

paying tax on the stocks

appreciated value and also

allows the family to take a

tax deduction on the

donation. We sell the

stock soon after it is

received to “lock” in the

value. If you have any

questions about donating

stock to the church please

contact the church office.

The current balance of the

mortgage is $808,100.

Sinner’s Dinners coming this fall.

Do you like a good meal and the company of

friendly people? Then join your fellow “sinners”

of Messiah for a fellowship activity beginning

this fall called “Sinner's Dinners”. It's a great

way to share stories, food, and fun with your

friends, old AND new. We will form new groups,

but there is a possibility of having someone

from last year in your group again. Again, the

idea is to meet NEW people.

Here's how it works.... Just sign your name and

information on the sign-up sheet found in the

gathering space at church, OR call Jim at 608-

224-2664 for more information. Then we will

take all the names and form groups of 8 to 10.

This activity is for both singles and couples.

Couples will be kept together in the same

group. You will be notified of the people in

your group and their contact information. One

of the members will be assigned to be the 'host'

for the first meal. After that, each single or

couple will host a meal until each household has

had a turn. This will usually be 4 or 5 meals over

a 9 month period. Then in the fall we will

reorganize the groups so that each household is

with mostly different people and we do it again.

It's a great way to get to know people for the

first time.

'Hosting' a meal does not mean providing the

whole meal. Instead, the host usually provides

the main course, whether it is a meat dish or

something else, and the rest of the meal is

shared. It is the duty of the host to ask each

household to bring a particular dish to

accompany that main course. For example, the

host family might want to do a chicken dish as

the main course, but ask another couple to

bring the potatoes, and another member to

bring a vegetable dish, and another member a

dessert or appetizer, etc. The host family usually

provides the beverage as well, including beer or

wine if that is their wish.

Once a group has met at the first host's house,

it is up to that group to schedule the next meal

and its host. Each group can choose the type of

food that best fits its members. Be creative, it's

part of the fun, but also be flexible and

accommodating to the individual needs of the

other members in your group. There is no

agenda to the dinners other than friendly

conversation and a willingness to meet fellow

Messians, old and new. This is intended as an

adult's night out, so arrangements for

babysitting should be made. However, in the

past, groups have been flexible in how they

handle this.

The only qualification is that you are a

'sinner'. (No one has an excuse not to sign

up!) Call (608) 242-0462 to sign-up.

Join the Choir!

By Clyde Nyhus

The Senior choir will have

its first rehearsal on

Thursday, September 10th

at 7:30p.m. This group

sings two Sundays

per month.

They alternate Sundays

with the

Men’s and Women’s

choirs, who each sing once

a month. They run from

September through May.

I am looking forward to

seeing all current

members, as well as any

new members who might

be interested.

If you have any questions

call Clyde Nyhus,

Choir Director at

516-4926, email at

music@messiahchurch.com

or leave a message at the

church office.

ALL ARE WELCOMED!

Sunday Meals on Wheels

The sign-up sheet for

September is full. Thank you!

A sign-up for October will soon

be posted. If you have

questions, please call Diane

Iverson at (608) 242-0462.

Thanks to the following

people who drove for

Sunday Meals-on-Wheels

during the month of August.

Your service to others is greatly

appreciated! –Kim Dietzman &

Glori Sabin, Pam & Tom

Aldridge, Ron & Jean Smith,

Don & Gloria Hehenberger and

Dale & Peggy Ziege.

A huge thank you goes out to

Jim Schulte. On the second

Wednesday of every other

month for close to 18 years

Jim has been the 'go to' cook

for preparing the Meal for the

Homeless men at the Episcopal

church in downtown

Madison. He has also served

that meal on countless

occasions. Messiah has made

commitment to prepare and

serve those meals and Jim has

been the cornerstone of that

effort. Just recently, he has

had to step back from that

ministry because of a welcome

job change. One benefit of

that change will be that we

will see him on Sunday

mornings. If you see him,

please offer your thanks and

congratulations. His efforts

have truly been an example of

God's kingdom!

THE ROAD HOME

The Road Home has been

serving homeless families with

children in Madison since 1999.

shelter to homeless families,

case management and housing

per year and includes single

parents, two parents, and other

types of families. Eighty

percent of families in this

shelter move into housing and

maintain them for over a year.

Backpack & School Supply Drive

Thank you!

We were able to give 100 backpacks filled with

school supplies to elementary school-aged

children. Thank you for being so very

generous. Backpacks were delivered to 4 area

elementary schools (Elvehjem, Glendale,

Lakeview, and Schenk), to Road Home,

put these to use for children most in need.

Thank you for helping the kids of our

community make a good start to the school

year!

Sunday Morning Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are needed as room helpers for

several age groups with large enrollments. We

would like to have 2 or 3 helpers per class so

they can take turns helping out.

Several people are needed to do room set-up

on Sunday mornings before the 8:15 a.m.

liturgy. The work takes about 10 minutes and

involves setting up tables and chairs and

putting supply bins in classroom. Ideally we

will have 2 or 3 teams who can take turns

helping. Contact Catherine for more

information.

THANK YOU!

The family of Barb Barr and myself want to extend our thanks to all that remembered us in your prayers, card and

thoughts during our difficult time and funeral. Many thanks to Pastor Jeff for his visits, prayers and time he spent with

Bob and his family. Peace from Ellie Paulson and the Barr Family.
