“Let the wise also hear and gain in learning, and the discerning acquire skill, to understand a proverb and a figure, the words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:5-7

For many years I kept track of most of my life based on the beginnings and endings of school years. Every year ended with a deep sense of relief, accomplishment, and anticipation for what the summer might hold. I was always told that “education was the key to my future.” Those school years eventually come to an end. But learning never does. That is as it should be – that is the only way it can be. At its best, our years in school teach us HOW to think far more than WHAT to think. Especially in these days of constant change. We will remember this end of the school year with visions of incessant rain and flash flooding. As we watched the water rise in the street by our house, wondering who owned the flooded out cars, I remembered the lessons I had learned along the way. 1) Have enough provisions in hand to stay in place for up to 72 hours. 2) Stay in place; we will figure it out later. So the floods hit and there wasn’t anything we could do to stop them. Gravity took over and all we could really do was wait – or get as much stuff off the floor as possible before seeking higher ground. Indiscriminate destruction put us in our place. When it was over, we began the process of recovery. This is how life works. Our faith helps – knowing God is with us softens the fears of what might happen. Knowing that God will take care of us allows us to see our “stuff” for what it is: temporary, disposable, and replaceable. Knowing that God will use us encourages us to help others in the recovery process. God will see us through. As we move now into June we come to the end of our Spring Season of Learning. From our youngest children to our adults, it is sometimes easy to lose sight of why Christian education matters. We can’t always draw the direct lines from the lessons and conversations we have about the faith in 45 minutes on Sunday mornings to the challenges and opportunities of daily life – but the Holy Spirit is at work doing just that. Christian learning is an important piece of our own personal disaster preparation. Not just in the content we cover but in the relationships which begin and are strengthened as people come together around the faith. THANK YOU to each of you who have given of yourselves in leading Learning Groups, to the children and adults who faithfully show up for God and one another, and to the Holy Spirit who encourages and inspires us to seek a deeper and more informed faith. I look forward to next fall, the kick-off of the First Steps @ Faith catechumenate process and, hopefully, exploding the opportunities we give to one another to gather for learning, fellowship, and support in smaller groups. Enjoy the sunshine!

David Murrow wrote a book entitled “Why Men Hate Going To Church.” Our synod men’s ministry brought him to Houston to lead a one day seminar to help us understand his perspective on why “church” as we know it is especially challenging to men. Since then, I’ve read a couple more of his books and I’ve kept up with his blog (www.patheos.com/blogs/churchformen) As time goes by, I’m seeing more and more wisdom in his writing. I find his ideas challenging but also very attractive. The simple fact is that, for the Christian community to be all that God intends it to be, we simply have to get as many men as possible active, engaged, and passionate about their own personal spirituality and the roles God has assigned them in life. Come to breakfast on June 6, 8:00 AM—9:30 AM at Palace Lanes on Bellaire to hear from David Murrow, enjoy good food, and check in with your brothers.

John 10:24 “If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

Most people recognized Christ as a great teacher, welcomed his humanitarian gentleness, and were impressed by his power. However, the most critical point was the one about his personal identity. Again and again the question was asked, “Who are you?” John the Baptist sent a delegation to ask Jesus, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” (Matthew 11:3). Jesus often asked his disciples, “Who do you say I am?” And when Jesus was on trial, the question that finally counted was the one Caiaphas asked, saying, “I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God” (Matthew 26:63).

“Who is Jesus?” is still the most important question. Jesus tells us plainly that he is the Son of God. His Word is the truth. This gives us certainty of faith, because our faith is grounded in Christ’s extreme sacrifice of love...his death and payment for our sins. Jesus gave himself to awaken our faith in him as the Son of God and the only Savior of the world. Therefore, we have hope in Christ. Not just help, strength, comfort, and relief for this life, but hope for the eternal life into which the Good Shepherd has promised to lead his flock. Pray: Lord, help me not to depend on sentiment for the guarantee of eternal life, but only on your Word. Amen!

Faith Youth Help Flood Victims Around the Community! FLC high school youth went after church to help their neighbors who have had their homes flooded in the recent storms. The younger children made custom cards during their Learning Groups and they were also delivered to some of the families. After delivering cards and sack lunches made by the middle school kiddos, they split into two groups to help the families.

Rise Up Detroit by Jason Houlihan, Director of Faith Formation

Honestly, before becoming aware that part of our community’s effort to partner with families in faith formation was going to the National Youth Gathering, I didn’t know much about Detroit. I knew it was a great city not long ago, a hub of industry and filled with the country’s elite. When I googled Detroit pictures from the turn-of-the-century came up, and it was gorgeous. Women with parasols oversaw their playing children in sprawling public parks, just down the street from some of the country’s finest architecture. And, though it’s hard to follow the precise downward spiral of the city, we all have a vague idea of how it happened. The industry left, the people left, and suddenly we were seeing pictures from the interior of abandoned libraries and hospitals. And for many

of us, the solution has been to look away. I admit that, in my ignorance, I have wanted to forget about the problem and think of more pleasant things. Problems, especially one’s that have lofty sociological consequences like white flight and the plunging per-capita income makes it feel like there is little you can do personally, or that their struggles are too deep and interwoven to be solved in our generation. To some degree this is true. Heading to Detroit, with the intension of saving it, is a blissfully ignorant view. But even the pessimist in me knows that there are people in Detroit that are rolling away tomb stones and doing something. Initiatives are being created, from those looking to restore industry to those looking to rebuild entire neighborhoods. And some of the projects have been focusing, above all else, on the artistic and cultural life of the city. To them, one of the most important things you can do to restore a city’s joy and appeal is to fill it with the kind of creative work that draws the world’s eye to it. Given the incredible history of music and art in Detroit, it seems utterly natural. One of the groups blending creative rebirth and practical rebuilding is Write a House, a new initiative looking to foster a burgeoning arts neighborhood by giving houses to young writers. Now, this doesn’t entail simply handing over the keys to anyone with more than 2,000 followers on their Tumblr. It is a long term project that takes writing students, enlists them to help in rebuilding an abandoned house, and at the end of this process gives them the house for life. Young writers get a place to live, and something to build on financially, and the city gets newly renovated houses and a neighborhood filled with artists who also happen to know their way around carpentry. As much as we allow our preconceived notions about Detroit to dissuade us from even thinking about it, this trip is in part about looking at what people write off as dead and seeing life. Buildings like The Globe Building are being transformed into a discovery Center that will offer visitors an archery range, 60-foot climbing wall, water sports simulator rides, and classrooms to teach kids about Michigan's wetlands and natural resources. Or, seeing international cooperation between Detroit and Windsor to enhance their already $70 billion a year trade relationship and help give the people of Detroit opportunities to work. Detroit is seeing an influx of creativity towards huge problems and my hope for us is that we begin to see places that we bring life out of what seems to be dead. That’s what ‘Rise Up Detroit’ is about and that’s what the people of God are to be working toward.

As I am writing this piece, Pentecost is just several days away. This time two years ago I was the pastor of a two-point parish in South Dakota and was anticipating moving to Houston soon. One or two weeks before Pentecost, Clayton called me and asked me if I could record a reading of Act 2:1-21 for Pentecost Sunday. I said “Sure.” It felt like yesterday. Act 2 is often read on Pentecost Sunday, for it tells the story of

the birth of the Christian church by the power of the Holy Spirit. You cannot fail to notice that peoples of many different languages and places were present at the first Christian Pentecost, “Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia, in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians” (Acts 2:9-11). Christian church has always been a universal church since day one. But the spread of Christianity had been uneven for centuries. I once attended an ELCA Asian Ministry Gathering in Los Angeles. The keynote speaker was a professor of an ELCA seminary. He was born and grew up in a non-Christian family in India. By God’s grace he later became a Christian, a Lutheran Christian. He reminded us Asian Lutherans that the birthplace of Christianity is in Asia. But he did not tell us why Christianity did not create a stronghold in Asia (The legend has it that Thomas the Apostle went to preach the gospel in India; Christianity first reached China as early as seventh Century AD and established churches in the capital of Tang Dynasty). He did not explain why Asian civilizations were not transformed by Christianity in the way that European civilization was. I do not know anyone else that has an explanation for it. But that professor and all of us Asian Lutheran pastors at the conference know one thing: Asians need to hear the story of Jesus Christ, just like everyone in this world needing the saving power of the gospel. The good news is that Christianity has experienced fast growth in Africa, Latin America, and Asia in the post-colonial era. Christianity is now truly a global faith. I recently re-connected with several middle and high school friends in China through a Chinese social media app. We haven’t heard from each other for almost 30 years. One friend said she was open to Christianity. Another friend, to my surprise, is a Christian and told me quite frankly about the moral and spiritual vacuums in China and the pain and suffering and darkness people have to endure. “If there is no faith, then Chinese people have no future,” she said with a sense of urgency. So on Pentecost Sunday I will read Act 2 and tell the story of the birth of Christianity to the Chinese worshippers. I will pray that many lives will be changed and blessed as the result of the Chinese ministry at Faith.

Christian Community Service Center Needs Our Help

We have received word from CCSC that there is a critical need for the following:

1. Food for the Food Pantries. Although there is an abundance of green beans in the food pantry inventories, the pantries are very low on everything else. CCSC usually experiences an increase in client needs during the summer and is quite concerned with the low inventory of food at this point. Dan and Pat Hillen brought bags and boxes of food to church recently. Consider doing the same! Financial gifts marked "Food for CCSC" are also wonderful as food can be purchased at lower cost through the Houston Food Bank.

2. Men's clothing. One of the 'basic needs' programs at CCSC provides good, used clothing for clients who need it. There is currently a critical shortage of men's clothing. Men's shirts, slacks, and shoes are needed as well as socks and underwear. Check your closets and consider donating clean mens' clothing in good condition. Bring your bags of clothes to church and we will get them to CCSC.

You can drop items off at the visitor's desk in the church lobby.

Celebrating Father’s Day Sunday, June 21 This Father’s Day we will be showing our appreciation to all MEN and FATHERS during each service and having a tailgate lunch in the Faith Center at noon. Come and fellowship, while enjoying all your favorite tailgating foods! *Also, don’t forget to participate in the CCSC men’s clothing drive that day! Bring any men’s clothing item, as well as canned foods that can be donated on Faith’s behalf.

Faith Schools by Kendolyn Pope, Director of Faith Schools

We ended the Day School’s school year with a bang with our 2nd Field Day! The heavy rains of the past few weeks forced us indoors, but this turned out to be the best choice. We were able to have fun while staying COOL. Our friends from Stretch-n-Grow organized the event with games such as Rocket Ship, Candy Land and Hungry, Hungry Hippo. Stretch-n-Grow staff comes in each week to provide gross motor enrichment (PE class) for each of our 8 classes. Coaches Cicely and Kaitlyn, who are here with us throughout the school year, were here to set up, provide all materials, manage the flow and cheer the children on. The theme for Field Day was board games, and the children had a blast. Each of the games incorporated skills that the children have learned and practiced in their weekly Stretch-n-Grow classes. We created teams by age, and each child was able to decorate a t-shirt during a

team spirit and getting to know you event. We had lots of parents and other volunteers who helped us to make this event a success. After Field Day, the children were especially tired and were eager to take their naps after lunch. Now that we’ve settled down from Field Day, we’re looking forward to a busy summer. We start off quickly with a field trip to the Children’s Museum of Houston. Both the PreK and Super K classes will attend, and we will travel by BUS! Riding on the bus is often the best part of the whole trip for the children. As Open Doors partners, we are able to visit the Museum for free and to enjoy other benefits. We were able to become Open Doors partners because we are a non-profit. During the trip, we will visit FlowWorks for water play (we’ll try not to get too wet!) and Invention Convention so that we can flex our creative muscles by building airplanes and trying out the wind tunnels. We have several other field trips planned to places like Mad Potter and the Houston Zoo. The lucky Super Ks are the only ones who will attend these field trips. So that our younger Day School friends and Mother’s Day Out friends won’t feel left out, we have planned many “on-campus” field trips that correspond with our weekly themes. The Mobile Dairy will visit, Nature Discovery Center will present twice, and we’ll even have a Circus Carnival day that includes a Bounce House. Mother’s Day Out children will be able to join us for these fun presentations. We like to have a relaxed experience during the Storybook Summer, but we will also include fun activities that prevent summer learning loss. Maintaining the reading, math and other skills that the children gained during the school year is an important part of our Storybook Summer program. On June 1, we’ll welcome about 25 new children to each school (that’s 50 new families in our Faith Schools family!). We continue to be amazed at the growth of our Mother’s Day Out program and are proud of the work that Ms. Jill is doing. Each week, I am impressed by the number of tours and registrations that Ms. Jill takes. It can be tiring but it’s worth it. We’re looking forward to welcoming all of these new families to our school community.

I recently started reading a book that has been on my “to-read” list for a while: “The Art of Curating Worship: Reshaping the Role of Worship Leader” by Mark Pierson (sparkhouse press/Augsburg Fortress, 2010). In short, this book is a kind of field guide for what we call “emerging worship” (also known as “alternative worship,” or “postmodern worship”). The book provides new terminology and framework for the role of the

church worship leader. Instead of primarily leading worship as a musician or talking head, Pierson suggests that the role of a curator, the person who organizes and prepares a museum or art exhibition, is a more accurate description. For the most part the book confirms things I have felt for years. A few times so far the book has reignited my thinking about what worship could be. If you don’t think “emerging worship” has anything to do with you or with Faith Lutheran Church, think again. Our Sunday evening 6TEN service is heavily influenced by emerging worship principals: reinvented faith expressions within a unique cultural setting (recovery), giving people space for their own encounter with God, experimental open-endedness through the use of stations, active participation of the assembly, movement around the space, no pulpit, non-directional space, intimate lighting, etc. Also if you attended our Wednesday Lenten services this year, you saw how we incorporated interaction with an art installation into our worship, which is another value of alternative worship. Here is one of the most surprising and challenging excerpts from the book so far: “Participation doesn’t just mean having the congregation sing or pray together. It means making the entire worship event the product of guided or curated involvement. It is worship where a variety of people from all backgrounds, ages, levels of commitment, learning styles, education, and stages of spiritual formation contribute creatively to the content, leadership, and shaping of the worship event. That’s participation. Maybe that sounds like a recipe for disaster. Now might be a good time for me to declare that I’m antiexcellence. I’m antiexcellence in church life generally, and I’m particularly antiexcellence in worship. I know some branches of the church preach a strongly proexcellence message, but I can’t help wondering if excellence is a cultural value rather than a biblical one. I’m sure someone could quote a First Testament verse referring to the excellence required of artisans working on the temple in King Solomon’s time, but I think they’d be hard-pressed to squeeze one from the Second Testament, particularly from the lips of Jesus. I don’t think excellence in worship is a goal that has any biblical support. Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not against excellence per se, just its elevation to sainthood. In fact I’m really not so much antiexcellence as proparticipation. I believe church life should be about participation. But performance gets in the way of true participation, and a pursuit of excellence always ends up being about performance. If excellence is a primary goal, then the weak, the timid, the depressed, the disabled, the unskilled, the sick, the introverted, the overweight, the less attractive, the poor, and the untalented aren’t going to get a look in. They’ll be relegated to being spectators for someone else’s worship performance” (p. 64-65).

What is First Steps at Faith?

First Steps at Faith is our catechumenate program launching in the Fall of 2015. Catechumenate is a fancy word for the process of Christian formation offered to those who seek to become members of our church. One way to describe it is like an adult confirmation class. Anyone can participate. It is designed for people who are new to the Christian faith, who may not have grown up around church, or who are looking for a deeper understanding of God. In the earliest centuries of the church, this process of Christian initiation preceded the baptism of new believers. First Steps at Faith will be reviving this practice with two semesters of formational time via small groups in the Fall and Winter Seasons of Learning, culminating with baptism at the Easter Vigil. After Easter, the newly baptized will continue to meet and unpack the meaning of their new life in Christ. First Steps at Faith also includes retreats, daily Bible readings, rituals in our worship gatherings, and an Agape Feast on the Vigil of Pentecost.
