M E S S A GE F R O M T HE PA S T O R

READING YOUR BIBLE FOR FUN AND INSPIRATION

“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction,

and for training in righteousness, so that everyone who belongs to God may be

proficient, equipped for every good work.” (II Timothy 3:16)

I received my first Bible when I was in the 3rd grade – a Christmas gift from my

parents that year. And, so began my faith life journey with a fondness for The Word of

God, these past 58 years. I guess I was somewhat a bit unorthodox in my fascination

with the Scriptures. At an early age, much to the criticism of my Sunday school classmates,

(“scribbling” in the Bible was a sin) I was already marking and underlining bits and pieces of

Scripture for future reference. I mean, if my Mother could do it in her college psychology class text

books, why couldn’t I do the same in my Bible? Therefore, I reached the “peak” of my 3rd grade

logic.

As long as I can remember, the Biblical accounts have always fascinated me. So I read the

biblical accounts with my grade school inquisitive and anticipatory eyes. Later as I matured, I

read the New Testament as a “text book”, filled with facts about Jesus and the accompanying

Christian teachings from both HE and the apostolic writers. But still, I read the biblical accounts just

as biblical accounts and the teachings of Jesus just as teachings of Jesus. However, God wasn’t

finished with me yet. So as I progressed as a “preacher”, I learned a couple of things about how

to let the Bible become a more meaningful portion of my individual faith life and learning to let it

grow in my heart and mind with great fondness towards God’s great love for you, and for me. So

here goes . . .

1. Learn to accept the fact that every account of the Old and New Testaments is more than

just being an account. That’s because as much as there is the obvious action in the account,

there also is the meaning of the account for us, such as David and Goliath. This account is more

than the recollection of how the boy David killed a giant Philistine. (I Samuel 17:1-49) Since David

trusted God during that dark time in his life, why shouldn’t we learn to do the same?

2. Every account in the Old and New Testaments, provocatively describes both the reality of

humanity’s sinfulness and the awesome reality of God’s grace, as God constantly intercedes on

our stumbling behalf, to keep us on the true way to The Kingdom of God.

3. When I read my Bible, I have learned to read it with great expectations. In other words, I

always expect to learn something from it that I didn’t know before. And you know what the Holy

Spirit has never let me down! God’s Word is not just a form of literature, because it is the living and

true Word of God to bring forth life! (Isaiah 55:10-11)

Thanks be to God!

Your Brother in Christ, Pastor Mark

M A I L B O X T H A N K Y OU’S

Dear Ascension Lutheran Church, 2017 was a year of renewal and

rebuilding. After hurricane Matthew took its rage on southern Haiti, many of us worked diligently rebuilding homes,

families, and faith. It was a year to reflect on: where is God amongst all the devastation that is hurled at

Haiti? Remember...whatever God brings you to, he will

bring you through. Our theme for 2018 is form the mission journal: Less of Me More of Him. Join us this year in rebuilding

relationships and faith. Relying on God who blesses us and gives us the strength to continue. Giving

More of Him for others to see, being the hands and feet of Jesus. Reflecting and walking in His steps. Who do you see when you look in the mirror? May

the reflection that others see, be Jesus in you. “May we discover that less is really more. Less od you will

mean more of His peace, His generosity, His kindness, His humility, His courage, His

unconditional love and grace. Pray with us: that we continue to grow and

sponsor the Nutrition Center; for new sponsors for our children; for PR Cheryl who is planning on

coming to Haiti to spend time with HCI’s mission; for our teams (Less of Me More of Him): for our

Evangelism to reach more for Christ and open hearts to a relationship of grace and love and for our

fundraising projects. I pray for each of you, for your continued love and support.

I see Jesus in you! Walk this journey with us and let it be Less of Me More of Him.

In His ever-loving Service

Gladys Mungo

Dear Ascension Lutheran Church,

I want to personally thank you for your partnership

with IHOPKC. Your financial support enables us to

meet the roughly $5,000,000 a year cost to keep the

prayer room going and beaming to the world for

free. From the sound system to the electricity to the

technology to the really small stipend we give to

singers and musicians, it adds up to about

$5,000,000 every year. And you know what?

Jesus is worthy of this seemingly extravagant

display of affection.

Around the world, even in nations closed to the

Gospel, people are singing the Scriptures, praying

for the breaking in of the kingdom on earth as it is

in heaven and declaring the beauty of Jesus and His

plan to make all the wrong things right. This is what

you are doing with us. It’s a huge beautiful vision

done in a way that only Jesus could have

orchestrated. A small room in Kansas City sings

and prays. Technology broadcasts this to the world

and lives are forever changed.

Thank You.

Gratefully yours,

Luis Cataldo, Director of Partner Relations

Thank You to Representative Gary Tauchen for providing

Ascension’s new US flag which flies proudly in the breeze.

Youth Event last month at Silver Birch Ranch Below is a sample of their experiences

My experience at Winter Jam was amazing,

From the leap of faith to the moving speaker

and singers, just amazing. The people were

super friendly and the food was really good.

We got to do so much fun stuff and I think

we all learned a thing or two.

Abby Daniels

Everyone seemed to share a close bond with

each other. I was always talking to someone

new and everyone seemed comfortable around

one another.

Abby Demerath

On February 2-4 our youth group went to

Winter Jam at Silver Birch Ranch. In my

opinion, the best part about the weekend was

the powerful and touching speeches by Jason

Kemper. Also, I really liked horseback riding

because it was super fun and I never did it

before. I learned so much and I can’t wait to

go back next year!

Autumn Lorenz

The best part about Winter Jam was the

awesome activities. There were sooo many fun

activities to do! My favorite thing to do was

horseback riding. It was kind of scary,

because my horse was huge, but it was still

really fun. The most touching part of winter

Jam was when we were at the chapel,

because when Jason (our speaker) was

speaking during the sermon, he has a very

loud voice and the words that he was saying

really sank into your brain.

Ava Lorenz

First off Silver Birch was super fun! We had

lots of crazy adventures and did really cool

stuff. But thats not what I was told to write

about. I was asked to write about something

that stuck out. After thinking about it, I

think we would always pray before we did

something or had an event. To me that was

really cool. We prayed for courage, strength,

guidance, safety, and lots of other things.

Another thing that stuck out was, you either

believe in Jesus Christ or you don’t. You can’t

just “kind of” believe. That hit me hard. Do I

truly believe or just “kind of”? Overall Silver

Birch was awesome and these were the two

thing that stuck out to me.

P.S.-We should do a Summer Retreat :)

Bradley Demerath

I had a great time at Silver Birch Ranch for

the confirmation retreat. It was my 1st time

there. I went tubing down the big hills, went

cross country skiing and ate lots of good

food. I liked the speakers and was really

touched by the words and the nice people

that were there that weekend.

Patty Lorenz

I was very excited to have the opportunity

to attend Winter Jam. I had a blast! There

was never a dull moment. The worship

services were exciting and full of wonderful

music praising our Lord. I was amazed at the

closeness of our youth group and was

impressed with all their kind words and

actions. I enjoyed watching them meet new

people and share God’s love. We all left

feeling closer to God. Thank You Ascension!

C H U R C H NE W S

I am 50 years old, divorced and have one son who is

twenty five years old. I was raised in Seymour on a

small dairy farm with my mom and dad and seven

sisters and two brothers. I was raised Catholic in St

John’s parish in Seymour. When I got married I

attended my wife’s church, Emmanuel Lutheran in

Seymour. We raised our son in that church. After the

divorce I continued to attend the church and became

a member. I became more involved because of my

son and when they started a band I was able to

rediscover my passion for playing drums. Toni’s

sister Denise{ Dee Dee} was a fill in piano player at

Emmanuel and told me about Praise with Passion on

Sunday nights at Ascension. I attended and felt

welcome from the start. Because of a change in

service times I was unable to stay at Emmanuel so I

attended a service at Ascension. I was welcomed into

the Bible study and was allowed to play drums with

the praise team! I truly feel at home.

Jake is from Kimberly and Misty is

from Shiocton. We met in high school

and got married in 2015. Jake is an

insulator at L&C insulation and Misty

is an auditor at JJ Keller. We

currently live in Navarino. We had

our son John Thomas in December

2017. We enjoy spending time as a

family and the outdoors! We are

excited to become members of

Ascension Lutheran Church!
