This Issue

So we who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually

members one of another. Romans 12:5

I n terms of big events, everything that

happens at Resurrection is a team

effort. Staff members and many vol-

unteers come together and work together.

In so doing, the Resurrection community

exemplifies the ideal that Paul describes in

Romans 12:5 and elsewhere throughout

his writing. We are the body of Christ, and

we show Christ to one another and to the

community.

Far and away, the biggest ministry event of

the summer season is Vacation Bible

School (VBS), scheduled to happen every

single morning, from August 5 through

August 10. This year we will most likely

break the record for number of partici-

pants that we set last year. By all accounts,

it is such an amazing experience for kids,

as they hear the story of Jesus in fun, crea-

tive ways. We currently have nearly 400

children hoping to join us. Obviously, we

are going to need some help. The body of

Christ must come together.

So I ask you to be a part of our VBS team

this year. Here are three specific, impactful

ways that you can help:

R ecently, Sharon Meyer and I trav-

eled to Haiti to work with Resur-

rection’s mission partner, Chanc-

es4Children. As always, each trip to Haiti

becomes a life-changing experience.

Haiti is again experiencing severe econom-

ic and political turmoil, forcing our State

Department to issue a level 4 warning, cre-

ating even greater problems because this

designation impedes most NGO’s from

working in Haiti, the poorest nation in the

western hemisphere.

Upon arriving in chaotic Port Au Prince,

we were met by C4C staff who expressed

such thankfulness that we’d made the trip.

The staff at C4C’s crèche in Kenscoff were

incredibly grateful for our 200 pounds of

donated diapers, formula and other badly

needed supplies.

Kenscoff is a town 15 miles west of Port au

Prince high up in the mountains (5,000

feet) where the crèche, pediatric medical

clinic, the work room for the women's

W hen composing a piece of

music, one must use a

few basic elements which

are essential to any compositional

foundation: notes, a key signature, a

time signature and a staff. The staff

is the five lines and four spaces

which “hold” the music notes. The

placement of the notation within the

staff dictates what note is to be

played. The staff is the structure that

allows for the formation of the com-

position.

Another definition for a staff relates

to herding sheep. The staff is the U-

shaped object used, specifically, to

hold the sheep during shearing and

for gentle redirecting. The hook at

the top end of the staff fits around

the neck or head of the sheep to re-

route them. Unlike a

rod, which is used

specifically to disci-

pline the sheep, the

staff is used to en-

sure that the flock

stay together, and to

bring straying sheep

back to the group.

Biblically speaking,

there is a different

significance to the word “staff.” In

fact, the word “staff” appears over 70

times in the Bible. The references to

the staff throughout the Bible depict

it as a symbol of power, more specifi-

cally God’s instillment of power to

His chosen people.

There are three significant references

to this display in Exodus. In Exodus

4, God spoke to Moses, and Moses’

staff turned into a snake and then

back into a staff. In Exodus 14, God

told Moses to use his staff to part the

Red Sea and lead the Israelites out of

Egypt. In Exodus 17, God instructed

Moses to take his staff and strike a

rock, and when he did, water was

produced from the rock to give to the

Israelites. In these instances, God

uses the staff to help His people.

There is a shift, however, in the Gos-

pels. Specifically, in Matthew, we see

that the staff is used as a symbol of

power, but power that is exerted over

Jesus. These references show the

staff being used to punish and humil-

iate Jesus. However, we know that,

for the scripture to be fulfilled, Jesus

had to suffer, and Jesus had to tem-

porarily give up His position in heav-

en to come to Earth as man. By doing

so, the power dynamic did, in fact,

shift.

The staff which

had long been

used to demon-

strate God em-

powering man

had now been

used to show

God’s apparent

absence. Yet, we

know, like a good

shepherd, God

did not leave. In fact, God, in an act

of unparalleled love, used the staff

for the final time to ensure that the

divine power, the power of the Ho-

ly Spirit, could live in us always.

The staff continued to represent

power, but transformed to the ulti-

mate illustration of Jesus’ power,

the power of unconditional love.

T he Lord is my shepherd. I shall

not want.” Kelly Cassaro was

taught to memorize the 23rd

Psalm as a young child, and these are the

words she says have carried her through-

out her life.

The way Kelly and

Michael Cassaro

were led to Resur-

rection was differ-

ent than most peo-

ple. They were not

looking for a

church. They came

with friends for the

2017 Easter egg

hunt. They came

the next day for the

Easter service!

They love the East-

er season at Resur-

rection—for its joy,

beauty and importance in the life of the

church and in their individual lives.

Michael said, “We quickly found our-

selves called into the community because

it is warm, welcoming, diverse and ac-

cepting. We stay for those reasons, and

because the ministry at Resurrection

speaks to us, is connected to the real joys

and challenges of being working parents

of young children on Long Island, and

gives us opportunities to connect with

others and enrich our lives through Je-

sus.”

Kelly grew up in McKees Rocks, Pa, and

Michael grew up in Garden City.

They met in the Bronx, where they were

both teachers and have continued to be

involved in K-12 and post-secondary edu-

cation. Michael is a mathematics and

school leadership consultant, and Kelly is

the Chief Learning Officer at a global non-

profit. They were married in Greenport,

and lived in Brooklyn where their son,

James, now 6, was born.

In 2014 they moved to Garden City,

shortly before Grace, 4, was born. The

children love attending Sunday

School each week and are usually hur-

rying Mom and Dad out of the house

so they aren’t late.

They enjoyed VBS

last year, where

Kelly volunteered.

They have made

soup for the pop-

ular soup suppers

and supported the

many fundraising

events. Recently,

Kelly has been

doing readings

during worship.

James just com-

pleted kindergar-

ten and Grace,

nursery. They

are excited for summer, going to the

beach and pool .

Since joining Resurrection, the fami-

ly's shared faith has grown immense-

ly. They pray together and give thanks

every day for God's love. Michael

said, “ God's Word and the Sunday

service gives us an opportunity to

grow in our love for each other, to

practice forgiveness, and to see the

light of God in each other's heart.

This carries us through each week.”

Kelly shared their wedding reading:

Phillippians 4:4-9 “ ...the God of

peace shall be with you.”

The Cassaro family has found that

peace at Resurrection.

Summer Study Series:

The Counter Reformation

Wednesdays, 7 p.m. (Starting July 31)

Pastor Browning’s popular multi-media

summer series of lectures on the Refor-

mation and its far-reaching effects will

continue this summer as he explores with

us the 16th century Counter Reformation

in Europe.

In 2017 we scrutinized the 500th anniver-

sary of the Reformation, beginning with

Martin Luther’s actions, which changed

Western Christianity forever.

Last summer we probed the effects of the

Reformation in England, focusing on the

life and actions of King Henry VIII.

Beginning on Wednesday, July 31, at 7

p.m. the study will explore the changes

within the Catholic Church, propagated by

the Protestant Reformation, which resulted

following The Council of Trent.

The study will continue through the end of

August.

Refreshments will be served at each

session.

The Lamplighter

T ime for a new logo. Interestingly, when

a new look is based on recognized prior-

ities and values, the process can bring

renewed focus to purpose and mission.

We started with an intentionally small team:

Pastor Browning, Director of Spiritual Growth

Michelle Kollmeier, Director of Youth and

Family Ministry Diana Auer, Graphic Designer

Jennifer Fort and Outreach Director (me).

To begin the process, we agreed that ideally

Resurrection’s logo would visually communi-

cate “Who We Are.” To help us identify Who

We Are, we conducted an informal, random

survey of active members. We asked them to

list five words or phrases that they think best

describe Resurrection Lutheran Church.

The consensus was quite revealing. Top four:

(1) Caring, Serving Others, Loving; (2) Wel-

coming to All, Opportunity; (3) Focused on

Jesus, Christ-centered; (4) Warm, Friendly,

Fellowship.

Using survey responses, our graphic designer

rendered several concepts to visually communi-

cate how Resurrection’s members define our

church. From the concepts, our team unani-

mously selected Resurrection’s new logo

(below).

Over the next months, you’ll begin to see our

new logo rolling out in Resurrection’s media

and materials. The logo is also adapted and

ready for grayscale, stand-alone icon, stacked,

and a number of other applications.

Our New Look by GINNY RAFFA

The objective of Resurrection’s logo redesign was to create a symbolic association

with the ideals and values we hold sacrosanct—our welcoming congregational com-

munity and our mission to share Christ’s love. The clean, simple lines and colors

are used intentionally, designed specifically to embody Resurrection, identifying

who we are and what we are about.

The color blue was chosen, in part, to acknowledge our current logo, a color synony-

mous with Resurrection. A deeper blue combined with a lighter shade was used,

evoking feelings of calmness, spirituality, security, hope and trust.

The illustration, while uncomplicated, encompasses elements that together convey

who we are in the community (the peak), what we are about (the cross and the rays)

and what we strive to be as a church (the winding path).

The Peak: represents the signature peak of our church’s architecture and was the

initial inspiration and foundation for the logo.

The Cross: represents the iconic Christian symbol, affirming Jesus’ love for us.

The Rays: represent the Resurrection of Christ. Together with the Cross they com-

municate our faith.

The Winding Path: also a signature part of our landscape, represents our hope to

create a welcoming, friendly environment for all.

I t’s back! After popular demand, ‘Box

City,’ the middle school event that

allows Resurrection’s youth to expe-

rience what it would be like to live in a

cardboard box overnight returned this

June. Twelve middle schoolers joined

Vicar Nick, Director of Spiritual Growth

Michelle Kollmeier and Director of Youth

and Family Ministry Diana Auer for a

lock-in at church to discuss homeless-

ness, foster care, and giving back in to-

day’s world. Armed with cardboard box-

es, duct tape and a vison, the group set

about making cardboard box ‘homes’ for

the night that they slept in on the church

lawn.

“It’s a really fun experience that I love

with my heart and soul,” said Natalie

Sweeney, who was excited to get to work

creating her structure. Gretchen Murphy

agreed. “Last time we built a mansion out

of our boxes that had three rooms, two

halls and a door!”

Juan Stanek and

Liam Sweeney were

attempting to build

an igloo and stay up

all night. “I like ar-

chitecture and can’t

wait to see what we

come up with,” said

Liam. But all the

middle schoolers

agreed the true

meaning of the night

made the event truly

special. “To experi-

ence how other peo-

ple live and know

what they’re going through is such a good

idea,” added Annabella Georg-Hyun.

In addition to fun, games and a bagel

breakfast, the group discussed homeless-

ness and the foster care system. Each

child brought a $25 donation to the event,

which was used for the evening’s service

project through the nonprofit group, To-

gether We Rise.

“Four hundred and forty-three thousand

kids in the U.S. are in

the foster care sys-

tem,” Diana ex-

plained. “When a

child is removed and

placed in foster care,

during an emergency

removal situation,

they are given two

trash bags to fill with

all of their belongings.

Our youth filled duffel

bags with a blanket,

stuffed animal, hy-

giene kit, coloring

book and crayons. We

also decorated the bags with a sweet mes-

sage and images so that a child in foster

care knows that people care and they’ll

have something more than a garbage bag

to put their belongings in.”

Vicar Nick couldn’t wait to see the group

get started. “It’s a fun group to hang out

with,” he added as the middle schoolers

got to work. “And I’m sure a night like

this will give them a greater sense of

awareness about what’s going on around

the world.”

Diana Auer summarized the event. “I

think that the evening was amazing! It

was a wonderful mix of fellowship, aware-

ness and outreach. We are so abundantly

blessed, and it was important to see that

the vast majority of the world does not

live the way we do. We are in the fortu-

nate position to be able to use our gifts to

help others, and we should recognize that

we can make a difference!”

T he school year may be ending,

but Resurrection’s youth minis-

try is just getting started!

On June 5, we had a really fun youth

gathering at Pastor Browning’s house.

We all got to enjoy a delicious BBQ and

spend time discussing our plans for the

summer. We are so blessed with an awe-

some group of talented, committed and

passionate young people who will be

spending their summer months working

within their communities and with other

meaningful organizations.

On June 8 and 9, we had another great

bake sale and raised over $900 for our

youth mission trip! We had an amazing

array of cookies, cupcakes, brownies,

cakes and spe-

cialty items

which all looked

(and tasted) deli-

cious. We had a

great group of

youth volunteers

who helped make

our bake sale a

huge success.

Thank you to all

who helped, and

to all our congre-

gants for their

generosity and

dedication to our

young people.

We are so excited to be leaving for our

mission trip in less than six weeks!

This year we reimagined Box City—we

called it Box City: Thinking Inside the

Box. The purpose of Box City is to raise

awareness for homelessness and hous-

ing insecurity. At the event on June 14

and 15, we learned about homelessness

and discussed how we

can use our blessings to

help others.

This year we also added

another component to

Box City. We worked

with an organization

called Together We Rise,

which works with the

foster care population.

We decorated duffel

bags and filled them

with items to be distrib-

uted to foster children in

our area who would oth-

erwise be given two

black trash bags to put

all of their items in when

being removed from

their home during

an emergency situa-

tion. Our kids then

spent some time

fashioning shelters

out of cardboard

boxes and duct tape

and slept outside, to

raise awareness for

homelessness! We

are so thankful for

this time of fellow-

ship and for another

opportunity to make

a difference in our

community.

We are looking forward to the warmer

weather and having the opportunity to

spend more time together! We will be

scheduling a trip to Six Flags Great Ad-

venture and will be putting together

some other opportunities for fellowship

for our youth in the upcoming months.

Volunteer:

We need a lot of people who are willing

and able to commit to serving at all

five mornings of VBS. Adults as well as

students who will be entering sixth

grade are eligible to help. To put the

matter simply, VBS cannot happen

without the efforts of dozens and doz-

ens of volunteer servant-leaders who

are willing to serve in a variety of ca-

pacities. Contact Deacon Michelle

Kollmeier (michelle.kollmeier

@resgc.org) to add your name to our

list of leaders. I guarantee you will

have a fun, unforgettable experience.

Bring Supplies: Because of work and

summer plans, many are simply una-

ble to be here in person. Fortunately,

there are other vital ways to help. Just

like the past many years, there is a

supply bulletin board set up in the lob-

by of church. Make a visit to the supply

board the next time you’re at the

church, any of these next several

weeks. You can commit to bringing

items that you will easily find during

your visit to the grocery store, such as

sandwich bags, pretzels, or handwipes.

Pray: The Bible tells us, “This is the

confidence we have in God, that if we

ask anything according to his will, he

hears us.” Every single person reading

this is capable of making a necessary,

impactful contribution to VBS. Take a

minute out of your day and pray. Pray

that God would raise up leaders willing

to serve, and that they would grow

through their service. Pray that stu-

dents would be blessed with an enrich-

ing, fun, and safe experience. Most of

all, pray that every aspect of our VBS

ministry will point everyone involved

to the cross, and the transformative

love of Jesus Christ.

With husband Harry, she is influential in minis-

tries to the church, the community and beyond.

programs and

our main

church are

located. (In

Haiti, a crèche

means the

children are

adoptable vs.

an orphanage

where parents

may come

back to get

them.)

Every day, Sharon and I did a work project

for the crèche, painting doors made dirty

by the constant use of 30 orphans and

helping them put their fingerprints on

cards being sent to thank their sponsors

overseas. The children loved sitting on our

laps and getting the individual attention

these children crave and need. Sharon’s

greatest joy was making things with the

children out of Legos and K’nex building

sets. The older children are quite intelli-

gent and loved the challenge of building

their own creations. Each visit, I especially

enjoy holding the babies and toddlers who

are so responsive to the language of love.

One day we accompanied Pastor Phaton,

manager for feeding programs to the 17

churches planted by C4C. It’s a grueling

five-hour drive to Model, to a church Res-

urrection is now supporting in a very re-

mote area accessible only by truck. He

shared that he’s started a new ministry to

keep the young men from joining gangs.

In Model, Sharon and I distributed food to

the up to 350 children C4C feeds there

several times a week, which for some is

their only nutrition. The children waited

excitedly for us to arrive, greeting us with

songs including “Jesus Loves Me” in Cre-

ole. Model’s pastor, was so thankful to us

and Resurrection!

Haitian poverty and needs of the people

are overwhelming, but whenever we asked

how we could help, the answer was con-

sistent, “Pray for Haiti.” By visiting, serv-

ing, supporting, and sharing Christ’s love

through C4C, we’ve experienced firsthand

how Resurrection is offering “Hope for

Haiti!”

“Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet

have, we wait for it patiently.” Romans 8:24-25

The lawyer wanted to know what he must

do to earn eternal life. The lawyer knew

the Old Testament and could quote Deu-

teronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18. In

Matthew 22:37-39, the Pharisees ask

Jesus, “Which is the greatest command-

ment in the Law?” Jesus answers with

the same words. The problem is that the

lawyer wanted to lead a life that would

earn eternal life. The law shows us our

imperfections.

God loved us so much that He sent His

Son to suffer and die for the forgiveness

of our sins and to graciously give us eter-

nal life (John 3:16).

We also know that we

need to believe to be

saved (Mark 16:16).

To believe requires

action. We cannot

believe and ignore

God. The law is the

guide for our life. God

expects us to be com-

mitted to Him in our

life. He does not want

to be one of many

“gods.” There are

many things that can

distract us from being committed to God.

Sunday sports may keep us away from

Sunday worship. Time needed for work

commitments may keep us from Bible

study. We may struggle with how much

money to commit to supporting the

preaching and spreading of God’s Word.

Loving our neighbor is also challenging.

In Mathew 5, Jesus tells us to love our

enemies and pray for those who perse-

cute us. We need to go beyond loving

those who are our friends and family. We

need to go beyond greeting those who

are in our inner circle.

THINK

The law shows us that we are imperfect.

We can rejoice in the love of Jesus to

forgive us and to bless us with eternal

life.

PRAY

Heavenly Father, forgive me for not

loving You with my whole heart and for

not loving my neighbor as myself.

Thank You for sending Your Son to die

for my sins. Send your Spirit to guide

my thoughts and actions to worship

You, to study Your Word, and to love

others. Amen

DO

As you ponder the words in Luke, what

keeps you from total commitment to

God? What keeps you from loving

“your neighbor”? How do you prac-

tice the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians

5:22): love, joy, peace, patience, kind-

ness, goodness, faithfulness, gentle-

ness, and self-control?
