Living the Story with Pastor Jeni


I love to tell the story of unseen things above, of Jesus and his glory, of Jesus and his love. I love to tell the story, because I know its true; it satisfies my longings as nothing else will do. I love to tell the story; twill be my theme in glory to tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love. Pop quiz! Put these bible characters in order: David, Abraham and Peter ______________ ______________ ______________ Howd you do? Hard to place? Easy? This is a quick test that was given to many in our ELCA congregations in the past years to get a sense of what people know about the bible and its great, big, deep story. Guess what? An overwhelming majority could not do it. This year we will embark on an old but new journey. We will venture to tell the story of the Christian faith, opening up the Bible to see it better in our lives. It is old because it is the story that has been kicking about creation for ages. It is new because we are increasingly less aware of the story. Why dont we know our story? There are many reasons, one big reason is that our culture no longer strongly reflects our story. It is told only in church. And, what were told in church is a little confusing and hard to follow. In the past we have had a reading from the Old Testament, followed by a Psalm, followed by a reading from a letter from Paul in the New Testament, followed by a reading from one of the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). The goal of this way of reading was to teach the faith. It assumes that we know the whole story. Honestly, it is one of the most confusing things that we do as a church. Most of the time, the lessons do not go together and are strange out of context. So for this year we are going to give that way of reading up and instead choose one reading and teach and preach on one reading so that we can learn our story and live our story. These stories will be woven into our Sunday School, Confirmation and Adult Education opportunities. Why tell stories? Because that is how we learn and grow and organize our lives. Most everything that we know comes to us through storytelling. Think about it. Our values. Our culture. Who we vote for. Which brand of soda we buy. If we stop and think about it, we can pinpoint the story behind why we do what we do. Stories are strong and shape our identities. Everyone among us is a storyteller. Why tell this story? I see three big reasons. First, it puts God (and not ourselves) at the center of the story. This helps us understand belonging and purpose as being rooted in God and not in ourselves. Second, it is the only story that tells the truth about us and the world. Its not a pretty story sometimes, but neither is life. It helps us understand how God uses broken people and broken institutions to do good for the world he so loves. Third, it gives us a lens to see the world and interpret life in a Christian way. What if I miss a week? You can follow along online at glyndonlutheran.org or pick up last weeks sermon at church the following week. By the way, the correct answer to the quiz is: Abraham, David and Peter

Over Coffee with Kris


I do not always like wearing shoes. There is a high possibility that if you happen to come to church when there is not a worship service, that I would be barefoot. I do not like to wear shoes when I am inside. Though my shoes are wellfitted, I feel like that my feet are suffocating when I do wear shoes. Despite my complaining, I know that I am very fortunate to have shoes. For not everyone has shoes. Our Day Camp, Vacation Bible School, Bible Camp participants, and many of you brought in shoes for Soles 4 Souls www.soles4souls.org They have a simple concept: We procure shoes and get them to those in need. Simple enough, but the pictures on the website show of what people use for shoes (2 liter soda bottles) and the conditions they live in is gut wrenching. You have made a difference, many, many people will have shoes because of you! Being part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (the ELCA) our mission, for who we are, is laid out plainly in our motto God's work, our hands. The Mission Trip that our youth went on last summer was with the organization Youthworks, mantra is that we are to be Jesus' hands and feet. We are to be Gods/Jesus hands and feet, plain and simple. I am writing this letter just after a glorious Glyndon Daze Outdoor Service, Nate Houge did a wonderful job leading the music. The sending song "The Work of God" had some words that sung to my heart: The work of God, The work of God, the work of God it is not done. The work of God, The work of God, Oh, may your kingdom come These are the feet, these are the feet, these are the feet of Jesus. These are the feet, these are the feet, Oh may your kingdom come On August 7th the lesson from Romans that was read has this same sort of theme. The final verse from the passage is: Romans 10:15 "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news" The work of God it is not done...but Glyndon Lutheran has some good looking feet! Blessings on the rest of your day, Kris Johnson

Council Minutes
Glyndon Lutheran Church Council Meeting August 10, 2011 Members Present: Jeff Wallin, Pam Rudolf, Joan Stenerson, Kris Johnson, Pastor Jeni, Wanda Peterson, Carrie Smith and Cindy Henriksen Prayer/GLC Mission Statement Secretarys Report: Calvin was listed under members present as Johnson instead of his correct name Carlson. Treasures Report: It was noted that Linda pays her pension and insurance on her own. This is not reflected in the report. We will ask if Esther is able to rewrite that. Discussed and passed. Pastors Report Its been a busy, but good month at GLC! Ive participated in a lot of the life of this congregation and can see the deep vitality of faith here. I preached and presided at worship on July 17, 24, 31 and August 8. Were working our way through the Gospel of Matthew. Were learning about the kingdom of heaven, the compassion of Jesus and the nature of faith. I met with Darlene Sandal at her home to discuss the upcoming vacancy for altar guild. We thought of some ways to streamline this great service. We hope to find someone willing to fill her shoes when she completes her role as head of the altar guild at the end of this year. Kris and the Pathways crew did a great job with Day Camp! I had a great time talking with some parents and hanging out with the kiddos. It looks like well try this again next year. On Thursday, July 21st I had the honor of attending the WELCA Circles Summer retreat at Bonnie Simonsons Lake Home near Detroit Lakes. What a wonderful view! We were treated to Jean Mahlums incredible story of faith and courage as she presented from her book God Bless Minneapolis, which I had a chance to read. I presided at communion. On Sunday, July 17th I had brunch with Jessica Langseth and her soon to be husband Dan at Perkins. Their wedding is set for September 10th at GLC. Ive also been meeting with Chad and Shauna, who are to be married on September 17th. I continue to make communion bread and baked it during stewardship workday on August 2nd. I have left bread baking materials in the kitchen for future use. Im planning to bake again on September 6th, at the next Stewardship Workday. Ive been visiting with a few people who are facing cancer diagnoses. I had a baptism meeting with a mother whose family is about to join GLC. Her daughter will be baptized after Glyndon Daze Worship on August 14th. Its VBS week at GLC! While Kris is busy teaching and playing with the kids, Im talking with parents and grandparents of our littlest. Its fun to see so many young ones learn about Jesus! A lot of jr. high kids have come around on Wednesday nights for kickball. We have good fellowship. I look forward to Wednesday night kickball next summer. Ive been spending a lot of time getting ready for the fall. Writing letters, prepping confirmation lessons, and creating a new website is only a few of these preparations! Family Ministers Report: Our church (and its yard and hallways) have been abuzz with all the activities we have had this past month. Day Camp On July 17th we welcomed the Pathways Day Camp Staff, Polly, Matt, and Erica. On Sunday the Day Camp Staff helped lead worship, and then Monday through Thursday we had Day Camp from 9:00 am-3:00 pm. Each morning we had regular VBS activities and in the afternoon I organized different activities. On Monday, we went to Ron and Marilyn Labrensz farm, (thank you so much!), and attempted to make homemade ice cream. On Tuesday, we had a fun Field Day complete with potato sack races, egg spoon relays, and even a relay with chopsticks and rubber chickens. On Wednesday, we went to the Dilworth pool (everyone dove off of the diving board!). Thank you to Kelly Richards for providing the bus and Calvin Carlson for driving on Monday and Wednesday. Thank you to all who helped with Day Camp; Becky Cutler, Paula Nelson, Sally Tanner, Samantha Blattenbauer, Samantha Henriksen, Shania Geiser, Taylor Mehrer and Megan Meyers. Thank you to Roger and Joan Stenerson for hosting the Day Camp Staff, and to Craig and Paula Nelson for providing supper one evening. It was a great week and I hope we can do it again! Mission Trip July 31st- August 6th, I and 7 of our High School ladies went on a Mission Trip with Pathways Outdoor Ministries along with 3 Pathways staff and 5 young ladies from area churches. We did the ropes course at camp, did RAKs (Random Acts of Kindness) around Duluth, then ventured to the Twin Cities and worked at Feed My Starving Children packing meals to be sent around the world, worked at

Community Emergency Services distributing food, Hospitality House working with kids from North Minneapolis, and some of us went and played with kids at Marys Place. We also had some Bible Parties (studies) and fun evening activities. I continue to be incredibly impressed by our young people, and I thank you for your support of them! Camp Several of our young people have been attending camp this month. Madison Blattenbauer attended Elementary Minis, Caitlin Ash and Taylor Bjerke attended High School Camp both at Emmaus. I brought donuts to them and their cabins on July 15th. Shania Geiser, Samantha Blattenbauer, Alyson Brenna, McKenzie Trudel, Anna Smith and Alex Fuchs attended Jr. High Camp July 31st-August 5th, I got to see them before we left camp for the Mission Trip. Vacation Bible School At the time that I am writing this Vacation Bible School for the 3 year olds through 1st graders is half over. We have nearly 20 kiddos, and it has been a joy! We have been singing songs, make crafts, playing games and learning about Jesus! Thank you to those who have helped! Other things I love Wednesday evenings in the summer, playing kickball and sharing a meal together; it has been a great intergenerational activity! Also, thank you for the continued prayers for my dad through his various medical ailments; we are awaiting tests and their results. He has had a difficult month, I have spent much time this month with him in various hospitals, and we appreciate the thoughts and prayers from the Glyndon Lutheran family. Topics of Discussion:

1. Additional Topics: A. Stewardship servant leader, Don Lein, announced to the group that as of Jan 1, 2012, he would no longer serve as the stewardship servant leader, so we will need someone to take his place. Joan Stenerson suggested that we have a congregational work day entitled, Companys coming, time to clean the house in regards to the Harvest Home Meal. We will ask properties team leaders John Peterson and Randall Henriksen and Esther to make a list of jobs that need to be done. 2. Offering Recorder Chairman. This is in regards to Additional topics, A. 3. Properties Update A. Sump Pumps: Due to some recent power outages at the church, some water came into the church basement. They are still evaluating the performance of the new sump pump that was installed. We may need a third sump pump installed. Air Conditioning: An informational discussion was held for future references if we were to decide to install air conditions in various areas of the church. We just looked at a few options and bids. Concern is mainly for hosting funerals and/or weddings; Bid to put air in sanctuary: $15,357 Bid to put air in office area: $9,725 Bid to put air in triple room: $4,995 Hymnal Update: As of July 30th we had 30 hymnals in place. All hymnals are now paid for and will be in place for September worship. All hymnals were purchased in memory or honor of loved ones. Extra hymnals are still able to be pur-

chased for those who wish to. 5. Fall Recap: A. Instead of traditional Bible verses being read each week, one story, beginning in Genesis, will be focused on each week. This story will be across the entire church, including Sunday School, Conformation, hymns and adult education. B. Sunday school will be in rotation/ station form grouping students per age. We are looking at ways to implement Sunday School during the Wednesday worship schedule. C. Childrens story Bibles are available for family use. D. Announcements will be moved to the end of service, rather then at the beginning of the service. E. Council approved going Green due to the dishwasher being in place. We will no longer use paper products after the Sunday service. This will require some extra people to help after service and run the dishes through the dishwasher. The washing cycle is 90 seconds per load. High school students will have the opportunity to work. They could help with Sunday School or help with the after service dish washing to earn money towards future trips and/or camps. Strategic Plan: Jeff Wallin introduced some information on strategic planning. The council is entertaining some ideas to create a strategic plan for the future of GLC so that we are able to continue growing. Meeting was closed with the Lords Prayer. Next Council Meeting will be held September 14, 2011 planned for 7:45.
