COUNCIL INSTALLATION 2019

This is one of the odd years

when Lent begins in March and

Easter happens later in April. Yet,

we still have 40 days of Lent. We

will still have Ash Wednesday

Worship, with the distribution of

ashes and Holy Communion. We

will still have midweek

Wednesday worship services in

the afternoon, and a book study

on Wednesday evenings. This

year our afternoon worship

series theme will be “At the

Crossroads;” and, the evening

book study will be based on Max

Lucado’s “Before Amen: The

Power of a Simple Prayer.” You

do not have to buy or read the

book to join the study group.

There will be a “study guide”

available for purchase if you

choose. A signup sheet will be on

the Welcome Table and you can

indicate whether you want to

purchase a study guide there.

“Do I have to give up something

for Lent?” That is a question I

hear on occasion at this time of

year. And, along those same

lines, “Isn’t that just for

Catholics?” The answers are

“No” and “No.” The Lutheran

Church does not insist that we

give up something for Lent; and,

the opportunity is open to all

Christians. So, why do it?

The purpose is to participate in a

partial fast, which is a spiritual

discipline that is open to all

Christians. A complete fast

would be to give up food and

water for a specified period of

time, specifically for spiritual

reasons (i.e. God tells you to). A

complete fast should not be

done without consulting your

doctor and without a specific

spiritual direction to do so. A

partial fast, like giving up

something for Lent, can help us

be aware of how much control

something can have over our life.

As a personal example, in two

separate years I have given up

Pepsi and chocolate, and

discovered that those things can

be addictive. It was a great

learning experience. I highly

recommend that you consider

giving up something you really

love, whether a food, beverage,

or activity and after Lent

evaluate how addictive that food,

beverage or activity had become

for you. As an alternative, you

might consider giving the money

you would have spent on the

food or beverage to the Church

or another charitable

organization. Or, you might

consider using the time you

would have spent on that activity

to read the Bible or to add to

your prayer time.

A message from Pastor Allman by Pastor David Allman

RLC NEWSLETTER | Issue 3 2

Most of all Lent is a time to

examine one’s life, both physical

and spiritual, and see how that

life does or does not conform to

God’s Will. It is not a Law, it is a

Gift. An opportunity to draw

closer to God and allow God to

shape you and your future for

the better.

News from the Office Administrator

March 2019

Happy Spring! It is hard to believe that it is March and Lent begins

already; I am still recovering from Christmas. For Lent this year we will

be having a 3:00 PM service (except on Ash Wednesday when it is a

4:00 PM service with soup supper to follow) and a four-week, 7:00 PM

book study beginning on March 13th. The book study is authored by

Max Lucado and is entitled Before Amen.

Make sure to look at the events listed at the bottom of this article, as

we have a lot going on this month. Of special note is the return of AJ

Cipperly for two workshops on Dementia. She is a renowned expert

on this topic-- you can’t help but learn something new.

We will be having a New Member Sunday on the 24th. If you are

interested in membership at Redeemer, please see either Susan or

Kadie in the office and we will give you all the details. On this Sunday

we will recognize all who have joined since the last New Member

Sunday.

Make sure you check the Welcome Table in the narthex for upcoming

events. We post flyers and signup sheets there for many different

activities, so come and choose some fun and informative things to do!

Our Visitation/Communion Teams continue to reach out to our

members in need with companionship and communion. Our parish

nurses are providing support to our members with medical issues. If

you know of anyone who needs visiting or help with a medical

question, or if you would like to be one of our volunteers providing

care, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]

or call the church office at 813-634-1292. Our list of folks who are

homebound keeps increasing and we could use more team

members to visit them, particularly men to visit other men.

be served!

Susan or Kadie for

by Pastor David Allman

In one article about stewardship the opening

question reads, “Every time the word ‘stewardship’

is mentioned, do you see people gently slide down

in their church pew or move to protect their

wallets?”

Stewardship has an undeservedly bad reputation in

most mainline churches. Most members equate the

word stewardship specifically with money, although

that is a very limited understanding of what the

Bible talks about. Biblical stewardship is about a

believer’s entire life. Is money part of life? I think

everyone would answer, “Of course it is…” Is money

the only thing in life? I hope everyone would answer,

“Of course not!” If you answer that money is the

only thing in your life, then we need to talk about

more than simple stewardship.

Commercials, television, the Internet, movies, and

more communicate that our individual happiness is

only achieved by focusing on our own wants and

desires. I have heard older adults talk about

younger generations having an attitude of

entitlement. I think the reference is about some

people expecting things to be given to them, while

those saying it would claim that they had to work for

everything they have.

Psalm 24:1 reads, “The earth is the Lord’s and all

that is in it, the world, and those who live in it.” The

Bible says that everything we have and even who we

are literally belongs to God; and, what we think we

own is on loan from God, for which God calls us to

be stewards of what belongs to God – the earth,

people and possessions. A simple calculation to

determine everything that belongs to you is to name

everything you get to take with you when you die.

The common denominator for rich and poor alike is

how much we get to take with us when we die.

Biblical stewardship has everything to do with our

relationship to the Almighty and very little to do with

what we think we own. As you evaluate your mind,

body and spirit during this Lenten season remember

Jesus’ words, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry

about your life, what you will eat or what you will

drink, or about your body, what you will

wear…indeed your heavenly Father knows that you

need all these things. But strive first for the

kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all

these things will be given to you as well” (Matt 6:25,

32-33; NRSV).

Sister Sara Free Medical Clinics

Sister Sara Proctor is a PA and program coordinator

of the CC Free Medical Clinics.

For the past 19 years, Free Medical Clinics has

worked with volunteer physicians, nurses, and other

health and social service professionals to provide

free medical, health promotion and social services

to indigent, low income families, those without

health care and the under-served people in our

communities. The services are provided in a fully-

equipped medical bus, plus three stationary clinics,

which are staffed with volunteer doctors, nurses,

and bilingual interpreters. Services provided include:

Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics,

Dermatology and Opthalmology. Sister Sara also

hypertension and diabetes.

“Health education is a very important part of our

work here,” Sister Sara said “You may not lay hands

on a patient, but by your hands they are healed.”

Our motto is “A walk into the clinics or the bus

avoids a walk into the ER.” Sister Sara will speak at

the March 20th Lent service at 3:00 PM.

Thank you for your support of this much needed

program!

Evangelism by Candy Allman

Our Wednesday Fun Night has been very successful

so far. Our first month we hosted a Dinner & a

Movie Night, where we watched the popular movie,

Mama Mia. We had a large turnout and everyone

enjoyed the pizza and movie and collected their

raffle tickets for the drawing later this year. In

February we hosted Game Night. Again we had a

great turnout with everyone having a great time

playing games and have dinner together.

Due to Lent starting in March, we have decided to

forgo our Wednesday Fun Night for just this month.

May I suggest that you join us for our 4 week--

Lenten Book Study titled “Before Amen”. The

sessions begin on March 13th with the final session

on April 3rd.. You can find more information about

this book study in this newsletter and the bulletins.

In April, our Fun Night will be moved to another

weekday, so be sure to read the April newsletter to

find out what day it has been moved to and what

type of fun you will have.

Remember to invite all your friends to “Come &

See”.

This study is a four-session, video-based study.

There is a study guide available for purchase. If you

plan to attend and would like a study guide please

indicate that in the space provided. You can bring

cash or a check to the office. Please write “study

guide” on the memo line. The price of the study

guide is $5. The signup sheet is on the welcome

table.

These sessions will be held at 7:00 PM on

Mar. 13, Mar. 20, Mar. 27, and Apr. 3, in

Buhr Hall.

From the Parish Nurse Team

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)

HSV-1 is a highly contagious infection, which is common throughout the world. Most HSV-1 infections are

acquired during childhood, and infection is lifelong. The vast majority of HSV-1 infections are oral herpes

(infections in or around the mouth).

Signs and symptoms

HSV-1 is mostly asymptomatic, and the majority of people with HSV-1 infection are unaware they are infected.

Symptoms include painful blisters or open sores called ulcers in or around the mouth. Sores on the lips are

commonly referred to as “cold sores.” Infected persons will often experience a tingling, itching, or burning

sensation around their mouth before the appearance of sores. After initial infection, the blisters or ulcers can

periodically recur with the frequency varying from person to person.

Transmission HSV-1 is mainly transmitted by oral-to-oral contact.

Treatment

Antiviral prescription medications, such as acyclovir, famciclovir, and valacyclovir, are the most effective

medications available. These can help to reduce the severity and frequency of symptoms, but cannot cure the

infection. Over the counter creams, like Abreva (or generic equivalent) can also help especially when started

early.

Prevention

HSV-1 is most contagious during an outbreak of symptomatic oral herpes, but it can also be transmitted when

no symptoms are felt or visible. People with active symptoms of oral herpes should avoid oral contact with

others and sharing objects that have contact with saliva.

Fellowship Team

Changing Abilities in Dementia Many of you remember AJ Cipperly and her dynamic

presentation on Dementia last November. She

greatly increased our knowledge of the disease and

many of the behaviors. She will be back on

Monday, March 4th at 11:30 AM for a presentation

on the “Changing Abilities in Dementia." We will

learn how our thoughts, feelings, and words play a

role in "how" we see and care for people with

dementia.

AJ is a Florida CORE trained and licensed Assisted

Living Administrator and is currently the National

Director of Memory Care and Training for Validus

Senior Living based out of Tampa, FL. AJ holds

certificates in conducting caregiver facilitator

support groups; is a certified dementia care trainer

for the State of Florida and is also a certified trainer

for Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care

strategies & techniques. In her role as National

welcome counter in the Narthex.


Women of ELCA Meeting WELCA will meet on Wednesday, March 20th

beginning with refreshments at 9:30 AM. Beverly

Hill Gaussiran will present a program titled

"Abandoned" in which she will take us on a journey

to better understand those who are struggling in the

Mideast and North Africa. Learn how education and

the gospel give hope and change lives. Beverly is

familiar with this part of the world, having spent 14

years working in Saudi Arabia. More info on the

Soup Meal following the Ash Wednesday

Service on March. 6th

WELCA is organizing a soup meal following the 4:00

PM Ash Wednesday Service on March 6th. If you

are willing to provide a crock pot of your favorite

soup, some bread, or a dessert, please sign the

sheet on the counter in the Narthex. Plan to stay

after the service to try a variety of delicious home

cooked soups!

Service times during Lent

The Lenten worship theme this year will be At the

Crossroads. Wednesday service times will be at

3:00 PM (with the exception of Ash Wednesday).

Many of those involved in the story of the Passion of

Christ came to a crossroads and had to decide

which way to go. Some chose well, some did not,

and the stories of each of these experiences at

various crossroads helps us to know what to do and

what not to do when we encounter similar

crossroads in our own lives. In the end, each service

in the series reveals in some way how Christ and his

cross help us to decide which path is in line with

God’s will for us.

Bible Study

Members, visitors, guests, and friends, please join

us on Thursdays at 10:00 AM for Bible study. The

current topic is Hebrews. No prior knowledge of the

Bible required, and you don’t even need to bring a

Bible. One will be provided for you.

Refreshments are served and it is FREE!

Women’s Bible Women’s Bible Study meets at noon the 2nd Friday

of each month. Women’s Bible Study will meet

again on March 8th. Susan Wold and Paula

Simenson co-lead the Bible Study. A new topic from

the Gathering magazine is discussed every month.

All women are welcome to attend, so come join us

and bring a friend.

Rummage Sale 2019

The annual WELCA rummage sale was a stunning

success. We started in September 2018 to collect

items. We priced and sorted things and stored

them in Phil Eaton’s garage (thanks Dick). Unpriced

items were put in Edsil’s garage (thanks Kathie

Hackett). Many new volunteers came to help on the

collection dates. In December, we had the

congregation Christmas sale, which went very well.

In January, we started to collect merchandise. We

were able to price and box like items for easier set

up. We had a team that set up racks (thanks John

and Amy). Feb. 2nd the AMIKids came to Buhr Hall

and set up the tables. Thanks to Dick and Jerry for

being there to help with the boys. All the publicity

was sent out to the town. On Sunday, a large group

showed up to get the show on the road. Monday,

Tuesday, and Wednesday people brought in

donations; boxes and bins were unpacked, clothes

were hung, jewelry was displayed, craft corner was

organized, books were put on tables, kids’ table was

designed, linens were folded and things were

displayed. Thanks to many volunteers we were on

target for Friday. Thursday we received many baked

items. Many volunteers tweaked the tables to

organize our products.

Friday morning the volunteers showed up, the

parking lot was full, and the customers came. We

had a line until around 10:30 AM. Sales were great.

Saturday was a slower day but the tables became

empty. We had the quilt drawing at 11:30 AM. The

last hot dog was served. At noon we closed our

doors. The remaining volunteers stayed to clean up.

Buhr Hall was set for Fellowship.

I believe this year we had the greatest and largest

group of volunteers for every event. New friends

were made and a fun time was had by all. Through

their dedication, we were able to raise over

$10,000 to use for projects. The Veterans’

Memorial of SCC, the seminary student we support,

and Disaster Relief will receive a donation. We will

also use some of the money for a project at church.

The Thrivent team was able to cover most of our

food costs.

I must admit this was the hardest year for me

personally. I’m grateful for Tina Schwartz’s help as

co-chair. I am thankful for each volunteer who

encouraged me to carry on. It has been my

pleasure and honor to chair the sale for the last 11

years. I am stepping down as chair and will gladly

assist anyone who wishes to assume that

responsibility.

God’s Blessing to all!

With gratitude and in memory of Mike,

Jane Trefren
