NEWSLETTER DEADLINE JUNE 15

Newsletter deadlines being what they are, I sit here writing a farewell

note in the newsletter a full month before my last Sunday on July

23rd. With, VBS, three more Sunday sermons, and a weeklong

service trip with our youth ahead of me, it is hard to imagine that the

end of my internship is near!

Many of you asked what is next for me after First Lutheran, so let me

take a moment and fill you in on the plans. Next year I will be

returning to Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago for my final

year of studies. Sometime in February 2018 the Bishops will meet

and assign me to a region and ultimately a synod. If all goes well, I

will graduate from LSTC on May 20th and will become eligible to be

called by a congregation and ordained within the synod for which I

have been assigned. Given Wesley’s current position with Bethany

Swine Services/Pipestone, I will be commuting to Hyde Park,

Chicago this next academic year for school from DeKalb. Then,

when/if I am finally called by a congregation, we will make decisions

about our next location.

If our near future seems transient and uncertain, it is! Prayers as

Wesley and I navigate this time of ambiguity are welcome. Prayers

that there might be a congregation out there willing to call me as a

pastor are very welcome!

Next year, our intention is to worship at Bethlehem Lutheran Church

in order that the next Vicar can have the freedom and experience she

deserves on her internship year. Fanya Burford-Berry, next year’s

intern, is a much beloved member of the seminary community in

Chicago. I’m excited for the gifts, experience, and love of Christ she

will bring to First Lutheran next year.

There is not enough space here for me to fully express my

appreciation to this congregation. You all took a chance on allowing

me to join your community and for that I will always be grateful.

Pastor Janet is an outstanding leader and mentor, the staff of First

Lutheran are top notch and work extremely hard in a thousand behind

the scenes ways, the congregation is supportive and loving. Always

remember that, even with all the amazing charity work, funds, and

services that this congregation provides to the larger community, the

most precious gift we have to give is the gift of Jesus Christ and His

Gospel. Be bold in your proclamation of the Good News! The world

is still yearning for this message.

Serving as your intern-vicar has been an honor,

Vicar Preston Fields

Dear Members of First Lutheran,

As I begin my new life of retirement, I want to

thank all of you for your friendship and support

throughout the past 32 years. When I started so

many years ago, I had no idea that I would

become part of such a special family.

Mary Colvin and her crew deserve special

thanks and praise for the reception held for me on

Sunday, June 11. Thank you all for coming, thank

you all for the cards and kind words both spoken and written, and thank

you for the gift certificate to The Hillside. Thanks also to Pastor Tom

Hanson and Randy Stubbs for making the long trip to be part of my special

day.

After getting home that day, I truly enjoyed reading the many cards I

received and the good wishes you all expressed. Thank you from the

bottom of my heart to each and every one of you.

God's Blessings Always,

Lynn

Summer Lunch Page13

MOVING MINISTRY UPDATE: Remember last month when the

Storage Units were stuffed with furniture? Come and see it

now! Come and see how you can share with other First Men in

receiving donated furniture, organizing it within the storage units,

and delivering those and other pieces — especially beds — to our

DeKalb County brothers and sisters who do not have basic

furniture.

All

are

welcome !

Summer Lunch Program The Summer

Lunch Program at the Methodist Church is in full

swing. Mounds of fresh fruit and vegetables donated

by Schnuck’s and the community gardens lie

waiting to be washed and cut into bitesize pieces. I’d

never seen such large jars of peanut butter and jam

or so many loaves of bread ready to become PB&Js

to feed the hungry families in our community. In

addition, a hot meal is served by volunteers and

boxed lunches are passed out to children on a list.

At around noon each weekday the room is filled

with smiles and chatter as families gather for what

is probably their main meal of the day. As one boy

happily ate his French toast, eggs, sausage, and

fruit, he told me, “This is really a brunch!”

Thank you to all who have signed up to participate in

this opportunity to do “God’s work” with “our

hands.” Time slots of 2 hour shifts are still available

to help on Thursdays through August 3rd.

Please consider joining the fun and ministry of feeding our neighbors.

Your hands—along with rest of you—are needed to do God’s work on the

first and third Wednesday of every month to make

quilts for Lutheran World Relief! No, you don’t

have to know a thing about quilting. If you do,

that’s great, too. Just show up!

This month we will meet on July 5 and 19. You

can also sew Love Packets, available at the R

Donation Center in the atrium. Easy instructions

are included for making a quilt top. Another way to help is by donating yard

goods. Again, look for the basket in the atrium.

You can also pick up a list of personal care kit items, stapled on a paper bag

into which you can place the items, in the atrium as well.

You can also help provide cash for shipping, or needed materials:

New fabric (yard good of any size)

Drapes and curtains (no sheers or fiberglass)

Blankets, bedspreads, mattress pads, sheets, pillowcases

Quilt batting

Good quality sewing thread

Crochet or similar cord for tying

It’s important that all of these items be clean and in good condition.

Please leave donations in the basket in the atrium. Thank you!

LWR Baby Care Kits

We are on our way to completing 125

baby care kits for Lutheran World Relief

by September! Our volunteers, led by

Arija Weber, are most in need

of: receiving blankets, diaper pins, socks,

flannel sheets or yards of flannel

material (to make diapers),jackets/sweaters (that button/snap/zip/velcro

down the front) ,flat fold (preferred) or pre-fold cloth diapers.

We are always in need of everything that is needed to make the kits.

Bring in your donations any time! Stop in the atrium and grab a list

from the LWR bulletin. (http://lwr.org/babycarekits)

Monetary donations would be appreciated as well! Other volunteers

love the thrill of finding good deals, and would be happy to put your

money to good use for babies!

Council News Page 5

At the request of Church Council, Bill Sanders, Gerry Sanderson, Al

Fisher, Barbara Baie, and Dave Olsen have agreed to serve on the

First Lutheran Canopy Advisory Group. The FLCAG's purpose is

to consult with the Architect Donald Whitmore to create drawings and

plans for a canopy for the congregation to consider. Should the

congregation vote to move forward with the construction of the

canopy, the members of FLCAG will continue to work with the

architect through the project completion. Bill Sanders will chair the

committee and Mike Bauling will serve as an ex-officio member and

liaison between the project and the Council. Thank you all for your

willingness to serve!

Meet our next Intern

Greetings Rev. Hunt and members of First

Lutheran Church,

I am writing to confirm my acceptance of

Know the Ten Signs of Alzheimer’s Disease submitted by Cathy Foelske, R.N.

Your memory often changes as you grow older.

But memory loss that disrupts daily life is not a

typical part of aging. It may be a symptom of

dementia. Dementia is a slow decline in

memory, thinking and reasoning skills. The

most common form of dementia is Alzheimer’s

disease, a fatal disorder that results in the loss of

brain cells and function. The ten warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease

are: 1) Memory loss that disrupts daily life. 2) Challenges in planning or

solving problems. 3) Difficulty completing familiar tasks. 4) Confusion

with time and place. 5) Trouble understanding visual images and spatial

relationships. 6) New problems with words in speaking or writing. 7)

Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps. 8) Decreased or

poor judgment. 9) Withdrawal from work or social activities. 10)

Changes in mood and personality. Early detection matters. For

information on Alzheimer’s, call: 800.272.3900. (Source: Alzheimer’s

Association submitted by Cathy Foelske, R.N.)

What is diakonia™

Want to learn more about your Christian faith in the Lutheran tradition?

Want to be more effective as a servant of Christ to others? If your answer

to either of those questions is “Yes!”, the Northern Illinois Synod

diakonia™ program may be for you.

diakonia™ if a two-year program of theological education for adults who

want to grow in their faith and discover new directions for putting that

faith into practice. A series of 12 courses, each five weeks in length,

cover topics such as the Daily Life of a Christian, the Old and New

Testaments, Communicating the Gospel, Lutheran Confessions, and

Christian Ethics. The courses do not have to be taken consecutively, so if

you want to try any of them out, you’re welcome to do so. Tuition and

book costs are minimal, and financial aid is available for those who could

not otherwise afford the program.

For more information, contact the Northern Illinois Synod diakonia™

coordinator, Denise Rode, here at First Lutheran, or call 815/756-8321, or

email [email protected]. Classes are offered here at the church on Monday

evenings from 6-9 p.m., starting Monday, September 11.

mailto:[email protected]

Women’s Ministry Page 10

Women’s Night Out

You are invited to join other women from the church at Women’s Night

Out. We will meet next on Tuesday, July 25 at 6:00 PM. These dinners are

based on the simple concept that it is enjoyable to get together for an

evening of fellowship with our sisters in Christ.

Prelude — Women’s Bible Study Women, come join us for a Bible study on the second and fourth Thursday

morning of each month. The Bible Study will meet on July 13 and 27

beginning at 9:00 AM using the study in the Gather magazine for women.

The group meets in the Community Room. Come and join a lively

discussion and enjoy a cup of coffee and the fellowship of your sisters in

Christ. Newcomers are always welcome.

Altar Guild News In this month of July your altar guild will be preparing the sanctuary for

services, including filling candles, setting up for communion, and making

sure the space is ready.

The weekends of: July 2nd will be covered by Jean Pumfrey, Dee

Anderson and Carole Johnson. July 9th will be covered by Tarryn Thaden

and Jan Setchell. July 16th will be covered by Kayla Kittleson and Dee

Anderson. July 30th will be covered by Terri Kuhns.

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, September 19th, where we will continue to fill out the schedule and plan for fall.

Ever thought you would like to serve the church in an exciting and fun way,

join us September 19th in the Community Room. We would love to have

you. Can’t make it that night? Contact Stephanie Corn, Terri Kuhns or

talk with any member.

Carol Stubbs update: Carol has now passed day 30 since her transplant of

receiving her own white blood cells. Things are basically moving as

expected, and that is good. The very good news is that one of Carol's

brothers is a match for her next transplant! For that next stage of treatment,

tentatively scheduled for mid-August, having a sibling matching donor is

the best option that we could get! Thanks be to God for this encouraging

news. Cultural Arts Center update: Randy sent this note on June 14th:

Greetings from Amsterdam! I am halfway back to Tanzania for a busy two

weeks of work. Tomorrow I expect that we will issue "substantial

completion" and get keys to our new Cultural Arts Centre and Music

Department buildings. Next week is the Music Department final end-of-

semester concert. The following week is the official dedication of the new

buildings with some pretty big guests coming. Then Marissa and I board the

big blue and white plane (KLM) to return to the States for Family time with

the whole Family: Carol, Megan, Nathan, Marissa, and me.

Thank you Page 7

LWR THANK YOU

Thank you to the First Lutheran Church community for your help and

support for our third annual Lutheran World Relief Mission Trip, April

22-29, 2017. Sixteen willing participants (eleven from First Lutheran -

Garry and Connie Briesacher, Dennis and Bev Heaney, Darrel and

Barbara Henson, Lucile Reynen, Barney and Carol Schroeder,

Michael and Sharon Wadle) traveled to New Windsor, MD, to spend

the week helping prepare LWR quilts and kits for overseas

shipment. We spent four days working at the warehouse and four days

traveling and sightseeing. At the warehouse we opened boxes from

congregations across the U.S., and repacked a total of 688 large

cardboard cartons of school, personal care, baby care, and fabric kits to

be loaded in large rail/ocean shipping containers for overseas

distribution. 688 cartons are enough to fill one and one third shipping

containers! We had a hard working and diligent crew! In addition,

some of our crew helped unload 2 semi trailers of quilts and kits from

all over the country, and some helped repackage Church World Service

health care kits. We also got to see the process of loading 4 huge

shipping containers of quilts and kits for the Evangelical Lutheran

Church of Peru to distribute to families devastated by recent heavy rains

and flooding in that country. When we weren't working at the

warehouse, we enjoyed enjoyed fellowship, devotional time together,

and playing games. An afternoon was spent in Baltimore visiting with

LWR national staff and with staff from Lutheran Immigration and

Refugee Services (LIRS), as well as relaxing at the Inner Harbor

seaport. Some of us enjoyed more than our share of great seafood, and

we took time on the travels to and from MD to stop at the Flight 93

National Memorial at

Shanksville, PA, and most

of one day was spent at

Gettysburg, PA. We

worked, we played, we

enjoyed being together,

and we helped in the

worldwide mission

outreach of our whole

church. Thank you, people

of First Lutheran, for

encouraging us, supporting

us, and praying for

us. Hopefully next year

you will consider going!
