worth’s Store in

Muscatine. But, she

found a good job at Cen-

tral State Bank where

she was in charge of the

safety deposit area and

worked in the loan de-

partment for many

years. She retired from

Central State Bank.

One reason, was that her

husband became ill. She

cared for him until he

died.

Verna met John Freund later

in life. “We just hit it off.” His wife

had died, and they were married

and went to live on Orchard Ave.

“I’ve always enjoyed life. My hus-

bands and I didn’t argue. Some

people go around being mad. I

guess I was always the boss,” she

laughed. “When we had decisions

we went according to our money.

We didn’t spend like people do now.

Maybe it’s because I worked in a

bank. I just took care of business!”

John died after a long hospi-

talization, and Verna went to live

at the Towers in Muscatine. She

said she really liked the people

there. “I like to care for and wait

on people.” But Verna had a major

As you enter her

room at Lutheran

Homes, you catch a

sweet, light smell of

her lovely familiar per-

fume. You know you

are visiting a sweet

and gentle lady, Verna

Freund.

Verna was born

near Davenport, Iowa.

She worked at the

Woolworth’s Store

when she was intro-

duced to her future husband, Al-

fred Kahl, through another couple.

They moved to Muscatine when

their daughters Elaine and Janet

were in high school, and joined

Grace Lutheran Church.

As a young couple in southeast

Iowa, they loved to dance. “There

were dance halls all around

Muscatine,” Verna smiled, “The

Elks and the Moose were favorite

hangouts!” Her best dance steps

were the 2-step and the jitter-bug,

and they danced to live local bands.

Playing cards was a social event for

couples, and their favorite game

was “500.”

Alfred was engaged in farming,

and Verna worked at the Wool-

stroke. After extensive rehab, she

returned to the Towers. That is

where I had the pleasure to meet

her. I was amazed at how well she

cared for herself there in independ-

ent living. She was a real inspira-

tion!

Daughters Elaine Bender and

Janet McClure are wonderful care

and support for Verna. Elaine

lives in Davenport and Janet here

in Muscatine and is a member at

Grace. They blessed Verna with 5

grandchildren. Verna recalls her

earlier years at Grace. “I’ve always

liked the people who go to Grace,”

she smiled. She taught Sunday

School and said the 5 year olds

were her favorites. She was active

in WELCA and had served as

President.

Verna attends activities at Lu-

theran Homes, as well as the

church services. “I think I’m doing

okay for 90,” she laughed. “We are

trying to get enough people to-

gether to play 500. Not many peo-

ple can play it here. We have three

so far, but we need a fourth!” Any

takers? You would have a delight-

ful time with a delightful lady!

Grace Fellowship Potluck Our group at the May Fellow-

ship Potluck was small, but we al-

ways enjoy our time together. May

18th was a special day. We cele-

brated the 50th Anniversary of

Pastor Don Sondrol’s ordination

with cake and song. The food was

good, but the fellowship of our

group is the true blessing. It is so

wonderful to learn new things

about our Brothers and Sisters in

Christ. Thank you for the good

food. Hope to see you next month

on June 15th.

Also, I am looking for someone

to step forward to host the July

20th potluck. I will be on vacation

with Al and the girls that week. If

you could help, please call me at

262-8225 or 299-7394. Have a

great month. See you in church.

School Supplies

The Social Ministry Committee will again be collecting basic school supplies for our area schools to as-

sure every student has what is needed to succeed in the classroom. The following items will be collected

and distributed to local and area schools:

* Pencils * Erasers * Rulers

* Pencil Boxes * Spiral & Composition Notebooks

* Scissors * School Glue – White and glue sticks

* Backpacks or Duffle Bags – New and gently used

Tubs will be available in the Fellowship Hall to put your donations during the summer months. All col-

lected items will be distributed to local schools before school starts in the fall.

If you have any questions please see Mary Chalupa or Sheila Busch.

Youth & Family Ministry

The gospel is analog. It can't be

automated. It will never be digi-

tally delivered. Even if someone

hears it on the radio or reads it on

a Web page, the message itself is

written down or spoken by a living,

breathing human being who heard

it from another one -- going all the

way back to the biblical writers

themselves.

That's one reason we are con-

vinced that the good news of Jesus

is true. We can see with our eyes

how it has changed the lives of the

people who have taught us about

God from His Word. We can see it

at work in them. Their lives are

evidence that this powerful mes-

sage is real.

Don't look at the Christian

leaders you admire who are really

living as they teach and say, “That

works for them and not for me.”

Look at them and say, “This works

for them! Look how God works in

them!” Then, we're told, imitate

their faith. Copy them. Follow their

example.

It's the same Christ in you that

is alive and active in them. Don't

give up.

Think: Who are the people

who have spoken the Word of God

to you? How has their relationship

with God

changed their

lives over time?

How could you imitate their faith?

Pray: Ask God to help you to

imitate the faith of the trustworthy

Christian leaders in your life who

have definitely been changed by

Him. Thank Him that the same

Jesus is at work in your heart.

Do: Pick one or two people you

would consider Christian role mod-

els in your life and ask them how

they trust God and how their faith

in Christ has changed them over

time.

JUNE, 2010 PAGE 5 GRACE NOTES

Traveling through Kansas this summer? Look up one of our Grace Members! Jake Vander Linden will be

spending his summer working at

Great Plains Theatre in Abilene,

Kansas. Jake was cast in two sum-

mer stock musicals after audition-

ing at Midwest Auditions in St.

Louis, Missouri last February.

Jake was one of the students se-

lected by his college professor to

audition, an honor in itself. Jake

will be a Junior at Millikin Univer-

sity, Decatur, IL, this fall studying

first semester in London, England

for B.F.A. Music Theatre.

For more information and show

dates, check out

www.greatplainstheatre.com.

Jake is cast as Dr. Carrasco in

“Man of LaMancha” in June and as

Attendees: Sue Wilder, Pastor

Blessings Forward

Brief discussion around in-

creasing the Blessings Forward

(Time and Talent) to 365 days a

year by having functional area

sheets available all the time and

locate in the breezeway. Taking

this from a once a year awareness

to year round awareness.

Discuss with Hospitality in re-

gards to their program of providing

information of functions within

GLC.

Stories Program

Great discussion around the

meaning and direction of this ini-

tiative. Concern around this being

a “shooting star” program within

the church and how can we have

all functional areas of GLC be a

part of this initiative. Making this

a “constellation” project.

Discussion will happen at May

Council meeting to involve all func-

tional areas so that we can gain

traction in all educational aspects

of GLC.

This is more than a journal just

to keep a journal. Relay the impor-

Congregational Life May 13, 2010 tance of journaling and celebrating

what is good in our lives through

Christ. We fall short sometimes in

being disciples in recognizing the

people, the experiences, etc. in our

lives and how God (through Christ)

is always there for us. Through

what internal and external chan-

nels can we develop with Account-

ability Groups, Bible Studies, etc

that can tie in (formally and infor-

mally) to everyone doing this as a

part of their daily lives and not just

going through the motions.

Plan is to modify ELCA’s

“God’s work. Our hands.” into a

GLC version of “God’s work. My

hands.” Making our relationship

with Christ personal.

Explain more fully God’s work

(GROW). This program is an ex-

tension and revision of the Stories

Program goal to help GLC mem-

bers feel comfortable in celebrating

the blessings in our lives as what

they are and who they are through

and not about being boastful. As

we do this internally we can then

be comfortable going to the commu-

nity and beyond. Go and proclaim,

give witness to the spirit that

moves you, be not just hearers of

the word but also doers.

The questions have been re-

vised since last meeting and will be

closer to the following: Who has

been a blessing in my life today?

As I am part of the body of Christ

how have I acted as His hands and

feet today?

Next Steps for Stories Program

Next steps will all be consid-

ered as Congo Life finalizes the

Blessings Journal initiative with

Council.

Congo Life to drive “Train the

Trainer” program in near future

with input from Council heads as

needed.

How to “go to market” with

Train the Trainer? Outside re-

sources? Inside resources? Pastor

DVD? Help in starting a study or

group. Date, time, info? Schedul-

ing and communication

Realization is this touches a lot

of ministry and education within

GLC. Need effective implementa-

tion.

Bengtson, Carlin Lawhead

Also Present: Music Director Bob

Hathaway and discussion, the

Board voted to reinstate use of the

chalice as of Pentecost on May

23rd. This will be subject to fur-

ther review as virus conditions dic-

tate.

* One Sunday service for summer

starts May 30th. Saturday night

5:30 services begin May 29th at

Grace.

* June 5th Saturday night service

will be at Zion. Nancy Cromer will

check to see if we need to supply

worship assistants/ushers.

* It came to Jan Pohl's attention

that Pastor Don Sondrol's 50th an-

niversary of his ordination is May

18th. The Worship and Music

Board would like to honor him in

some way. Carlin will talk with

Pastor Sondrol to see when he

might be available, and with Pas-

tor Mac as to what might be appro-

priate.

* Options for handicapped com-

munion on Saturday night services

discussed.

* Training for acolytes/communion

assistants was suggested for this

summer. Carlin has talked to Tibe

about this.

* Bob Romza reports he has se-

cured a license to reproduce and

play recorded music which will ex-

pand musical worship options for

both choir and congregation. Last

regular choir Sunday is May 23rd

with some musical specials during

the summer.

* Sue Wilder's idea for a laminated

informational sheet on children in

worship was given out and will be

discussed at next month's meeting.

As our Sunday school and

young disciples programs end for

the summer, I would like to thank

all of our volunteers who give of

themselves to help our

youth/adults with their spiritual

formation, building a closer rela-

tionship and understanding of

Christ. They put in hours well be-

yond the time within the class-

room. I hope they consider con-

tinuing this service in the fall, and

that they would encourage others

to get involved.

Perhaps others have a desire to

teach and mentor but the thought

of committing to every week does

not work for you. Please talk

amongst yourselves, with me or

other Christian Education board

members. We are open to having

class time shared amongst teachers

on a rotating basis, but we need to

know who you are. We will use the

Blessings Forward information

that we have received and contact

those who have expressed an inter-

est in the many facets of Christian

Education to see how best your tal-

ents can be lifted up for the glory of

God.

A special thank you to Jill Rice

for her services as our youth direc-

tor. We continue to look forward to

your involvement and insight

within our board, and wish you the

best as you move forward with

what God has laid upon your

heart.

Remember VBS will be held

July 25-29, 6:00-8:00 pm.

Prayerfully Submitted,

Renovation Summary, 1/1/2007 to 4/30/2010

The Love of a Family: Forever, For Always. Family is often thought of as

the most precious gift given to us

by God. However, the thought of

family is not always one which

brings feelings of joy, fulfillment or

even love. June is recognized as

National Family Month to bring

families together. This recognition

was created to raise awareness and

emphasize the importance of fam-

ily – kids, mothers, fathers, rela-

tives and caregivers – and to en-

courage supporting one another.

Lutheran Services in Iowa

(LSI) seeks to build and expand

healthy relationships to Iowa’s

families through our Family-

Centered services. LSI under-

stands that all families experience

crises, and our programs help fami-

lies work through these times and

use the experiences to learn and

grow. Through education and crisis

management, our staff helps build

stronger families across Iowa. The

help of congregations like yours

plays a pivotal role in the success

of these family-centered programs.

Your support allows LSI to con-

tinue fostering one of God’s great-

est blessings – family.

For more information on ways

LSI provides hope to Iowa’s most

vulnerable populations, visit
