February 15
Dear Friends,
Certainly among the most powerful and practical and
challenging words of Jesus are found in Matthew’s
Gospel where he says, “For I was hungry and you
gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me
something to drink, I was a stranger and you
welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of
me, I was in prison and you visited you… Truly as you did it to one of the least of these
who are members of my family, you did it to me.” (Matthew 25:35-36, 40) These words came to mind in a particular way last week. But first a little background:
One day last spring our confirmation youth gathered at Hope Haven to assemble, cook
and serve a meal the residents there. (By the way, we plan to do so again on February
8th.) The kids did well. People seemed to enjoy the meal --- some of them even coming
back for seconds. We even managed to get things cleaned up and left in pretty good
order. Here is what surprised me though. We ran out of forks. In fact, I learned later
that it is an expected part of the routine that forks have to be washed and dried halfway
through to ensure that everyone has access to a clean utensil.
Now there seem to be plenty of knives and spoons, so certainly one might wonder
about the location of the wayward forks. I can’t say for sure, of course, but I imagine
that a number of them find their way into purses and pockets. People simply take them
with them --- perhaps hiding them away to be used should they find themselves out on
the street again. And one really can’t blame them. And so last spring I kept my eyes open and one day when I wandered into Good Will I
was excited to see they had forks. I sifted through the boxes of silverware and one by
one pulled out the forks and bought every last one of them. I double bagged them and
took it over to Hope Haven later that week. I don’t know about you, but I take forks for
granted.
Last week, I sat down with Lesly Wicks, the long-time director of Hope Haven. I
learned they were running short on forks again. Even more distressing to me, though,
was learning that they are having to ration toilet paper. I don’t know, and I don’t think I
even want to imagine what rationing toilet paper looks like, but again ---- the most
vulnerable among us are having to do without something I normally take for granted.
Forks and toilet paper --- both of which speak so much to basic human dignity. Forks
and toilet paper ---and probably a whole lot of other things I haven’t begun to consider!
So I offer you now an invitation. During February would you join me in bringing toilet
paper to church? Wouldn’t it be great if we could cover the front of our worship space
with toilet paper? And if you happen to be out thrift shopping --- in February or at any
time --- would you keep your eye open for forks? (They prefer not to use the plastic
ones --- just in interest of protecting the environment, at the very least --- but also
because there is a certain dignity offered when one uses real silverware.) If you find
forks would you bring them to church as well?
Your gifts will be gratefully received all of February. Forks and Toilet Paper. Indeed,
in a world where we often can’t tell how we can make a difference, this one seems
obvious. Won’t you join me? Indeed, I am confident that even in this small effort, we
are actually doing this for Jesus whom we meet again and again in those who need us
most of all.
Peace to you,
From the Pastor Page 2

Thanksgiving Continues With Caring Meals
Did you enjoy First Lutheran's Thanksgiving dinner with 130 others? It was a
wonderful feast of turkey and ham plus multiple gourmet sides and desserts
provided by attendees.
I just read the phenomenal numbers of food that U.S. households throw away
each year. NOT First Lutherans!! Many thanks to Bill and Lee Todtz for
cooking and saving the Thanksgiving ham and turkey leftovers. Barney and
Carol Schroeder and Mike and Sharon Wadle bagged the left over meat
pieces and boiled and removed the turkey from the bones. The results —
nine - 2 cup packages of ham, 20 - 2 cup packages of chicken, six 1/2 gallon
containers and 13 quart containers of turkey broth. These pieces and the broth
were frozen for making healthy Caring Meals, Hope Haven main dishes, and
soups for people needing support and love in 2017.
Do you have a recipe for using these ham/turkey pieces? Would you like to
make a dish, soup, or ______? Do you or someone you know need a Caring Meal? Please contact Cathy Foelske, Parish Nurse, or the Church Office so
First can provide a meal from our abundance, culinary gifts and love.

“R” Mission Center needs You!
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 Feb. 1 and 15. 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.
Plans are underway for other LWR projects through the year, including a soap
collection and items for personal care, baby care, and school kits.
We also welcome cash for shipping, or other needed quilting materials:
New fabric (yard goods 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
Volunteers Needed
The Hope
Haven chart
for volunteers
is posted on
the bulletin
board outside
the Library.
Volunteers are asked to help
provide a portion of the meal
(main dish; vegetable or salad; or
a dessert). First Lutheran is
responsible for the second
Wednesday of each month. New
volunteers are always needed. If
you are interested in helping, sign
up on the chart or contact Carrie
Engstrom at 815-758-2588.
Help Feed the
NIU Students
Grace Place Campus Ministry holds weekly Wednesday evening worship
services for NIU students. Prior to
worship, students meet for fellowship
and to share a meal at 8:00 PM. First
Lutheran Church is scheduled to serve
on the third Wednesday of each
month. We are looking for
individuals willing to make the meal
to serve the 15 - 20 students. Ideas
would include sloppy joes, chips,
fruit, and dessert; a cheese and cracker tray and veggies and dip; or a $30
donation to order pizza, etc.
Please contact Teresa Lange, 815-758
-0855 if you can serve our students
with food donations. Our next
scheduled date is February 15.

Sampling Delicious Chili!
Yumm! Which, when spoken with a
mouthful of any of the 16 varieties, was
translated as “This chili is also
delicious!” Following the Annual
Meeting, First members just followed the
wonderful aromas. Favorite recipes were
prepared by Joe Baumgart, Brittany
Bryant, Jack Cress, Doug and Nancy
Dashner, Deb Farnsworth, Cathy
Foelske, Sue and Harold Grafe, Peter
Hastings, Dennis and Bev Heaney, Jim
and Colleen Johnson, Wesley Lyons,
Kurt Oland, Doris Rex, Barb Schrader,
Jan Setchell, and Sharon Wadle. Cathy
Foelske brought fruit and vegetable
trays were provided by Barb and Darrel
Henson, Patti Salazar, Ron and Jan
Setchell, and Tarryn Thaden. Carole
Johnson, Terri Kuhns, Terry Lange,
and Lu Lothson baked delicious desserts.
Carrie Engstrom brought every topping
you could want on your chili. Jack Cress
made cornbread and his famous honey
butter, while Peter and Sharon cut hot
bread bowls into crispy sourdough wedges.
Thanks to all who donated foodstuffs and
purchased tickets. The proceeds of
$986.00 will be divided equally among
Safe Passage, Hope Haven, Love INC, and
the Salvation Army Food Pantry. Add the
$500.00 budgeted for this group of local
social service agencies for 2017, and each
agency will soon receive a check for
$371.50.
Gratefully, Your Social Ministry Team
CAC Makumira Update
Once upon a time Randy Stubbs told a
story about a Cultural Arts Centre at
Makumira University in Tanzania, where
Randy, Carol, Marissa, Megan, and
Nathan had been living, teaching, and
learning for 10 years. At that time, the
CAC was more of an “idea” than a
reality. A little later, Jim and Colleen
Johnson told the story. Then several other
First folks started telling the story. Then
some of those who had heard the
story opened their hearts and wallets in
support of turning the “idea” into a living
and growing “mission of changing
lives.” $24,525 was sent on September
21, then $23,390 on December 28, and
$24,840 on January 26. $72,805 will be
matched 1.5 times by a European Union
Grant, for a grand total of
$182,012. Makumira University’s music
students and graduates will be employed
as teachers and performers, bringing their
families and communities out of
poverty. Now that’s a story worth telling!
Asante sana! CAC Coordinators
Men’s Moving Ministry Delivers!
First’s Moving Ministry Team is excited “to boldly go where
no Team has gone before” — into two storage units to unload,
sort, and organize furniture donations; to make small repairs if
needed; and to easily locate and load the pieces to be delivered
each month to DeKalb County neighbors who are without
necessary furniture. We 18 Team Members are very grateful to all First members
for supporting our mission by voting to provide the much needed storage
space. Many thanks to Joel Bryant, Doug Dashner, Bob Keil, Lloyd Lange, Paul
Letheby, Daryl Rolland, driver Roger Palmer, and coordinator Kyle Kuhns for the
January 21 deliveries and pick-ups. Come join First’s Moving Ministry Team on
February 18.

Overcoming a Fitness Plateau submitted by Cathy Foelske, R.N.
Hitting a fitness plateau can be frustrating, but it is a
positive sign that you are making progress in your
fitness level be it walking, swimming, jogging, or
biking. Now it’s time to take it to the next level.
GET F.I.T.T.: you can overcome a plateau and
change up your workouts by following the F.I.T.T.
principle of exercise. F.I.T.T. stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and
Type. As you get in better shape, you will have to continue to increase your
intensity to get into the appropriate target heart-rate range: FREQUENCY:
how often like 3-5 days a week. INTENSITY: (how hard) 65-90% of heart
rate max, or within the target heart rate for your age. (about 220 beats per
minute minus your age) TIME: (how long) 20-60 minutes per session; 150
minutes per week. TYPE: (what exercise) walking, jogging, running, biking,
swimming, etc. Change it up: Beyond F.I.T.T., simply adding variety to your
workout will help you overcome a plateau. Aerobic activities should always
make up the biggest chunk of your workout, but you should also include
muscle-strengthening activities, such as working out with weights or resistance
bands. Cross training, which means doing a variety of different exercises is
another way to keep exercise boredom at bay. Cross training also reduces the
risk of injury or overusing one specific muscle or joint.

Think Spring and Maryland
First Lutheran Church will again sponsor a
Lutheran World Relief mission road trip on April
22 - 29, 2017. This week-long trip to the LWR
warehouse at New Windsor, Maryland is an
opportunity to participate in the processing of
donated quilts and kits for overseas shipment.
This important mission of our Lutheran churches
helps bring relief to oppressed and distressed
people around the globe. During the week, time is also given to help at the
SERRV International Warehouse helping unpack and process third world
artistic works and fair-trade goods for distribution and sale in the United
States. This week of learning, sightseeing, and helping with our church’s
mission at the national/international level is rewarding and faith building.
Dennis and Bev Heaney (815-748-7124) will again coordinate the trip and
invite your questions and participation. Registration is limited to 16 adults so
reserve your place soon!
