Claiming Our Identity! “We live in this world, but we don’t act like its
people” 2 Corinthians 10:3
This past summer I spent a lot of time listening to
others. I heard stories of great triumphs and victory
and the stories of horrific tragedy that no one should
endure. I was in a cab one day and started a
conversation with the driver. I asked him if there was
any leader or political group that he thought he could
trust, “not one!” He answered quickly. I then said,
well at least you have your family and community.”
He looked at me and said, “No, you can’t trust
anyone. You can’t trust your sons or daughters or
wife, no one. You can only trust Allah.” This
statement was not made as a theological declaration,
it was made as one human being had been let down
by even the closest of relationships and had come to
the conclusion that only God could be trusted in a
world that had become so twisted against itself.
Now maybe I just caught my cabby on a bad day or
perhaps he was simply born a pessimist and carried a
good dose of suspicion when it came to others; but
the conversation did get me thinking about our
relationships and how we treat one another. Perhaps
the problem is that despite Paul’s warning above we
not only live in this word but we ACT just like its
people. I know that Christians are not perfect and
that we are just as sinful and broken as anyone else.
But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t TRY to be
different. In fact, it should be our goal to be as those
who have been set a part to show the holiness of God
in how we live and treat each other. Our faith should
not just be an identification; but a way of seeing and
understanding our role in the world.
For Christians this begins in our baptism. Baptism is
the means by which Jesus Christ, through the power
of the Holy Spirit has chosen to work and confirm
salvation in our lives. In the waters of baptism we
are joined with Jesus. This is a mystery, but one that
scripture points to over and over again. Through
The Messenger ~ September 2017 Our Savior’s Lutheran Church and School ▪ San Clemente, California
“Inspired to Love, Encouraged to Think, and Sent to Serve”
Continued on page 2
water and the word the Holy Spirit is particularly
present to begin what is a lifelong lesson on what it
means to understand God’s great love and gracious
regard for each and every one of us and how it is that
this same love continues to guide, mold and form us
into people who reflect that same gracious love in
word and deed into the world that God so loves.
There are five gracious gifts that are given to us in
the Baptismal liturgy. Five questions that should
help us to grow in our own spirituality and keep us
from acting like everyone else. These words are used
again at confirmation. They are both questions and
authoritative directions as to how it is that we are to
live our lives.
to live among God’s faithful people,
to hear the word of God and share in the Lord’s
supper,
to proclaim the good news of God in Christ
through word and deed,
to serve all people, following the example of
Jesus,
to strive for justice and peace in all the earth?
On a daily basis, we are invited to live, hear, share,
proclaim, serve, and strive—in the name of Christ.
God guides and shapes us in the living of our
baptism in the newness of life in Christ as we
practice our faith each day. These five gifts help us
to practice our faith and serve as a reminder that we
have been claimed by God and grafted into the holy
family.
If we do not practice faith, it is easy to get confused,
complacent, chase other dreams, lose focus, and
wander away from God’s calling—not reflecting our
new life in Christ and the love of God. The result of
such living is my cabby who seemingly has never
encountered people who dare to live beyond
themselves. It is God’s work, but our hands as we are
sent out into the world to be a visible witness to the
love of Christ.

This fall I remind you to LIVE AMONG GOD’S
PEOPLE and to HEAR THE WORD OF GOD AND
SHARE IN THE LORD’S SUPPER! And may
others see the goodness of God through the lives that
we live.
Peace!
Pastor Jeff Frohner
Greetings in the Name of our Gracious Lord;
To our Brothers and Sisters in Christ
at Our Savior’s Lutheran,
Annie and I have returned safely to our home in
Kentucky, and, campus ministry at Newberry
College in South Carolina. It is blazing hot and with
matching humidity on campus this week. Our fall
sports have come to campus for fall preseason
practice, the faculty have returned for their fall
retreat, and the totality of the solar eclipse will go
right over our little town on Monday. It is a very
busy time for all of us as we prepare to welcome
perhaps a record size first year class of students, 450
men and women. You can feel the anticipation in the
air along with 100% humidity.
Annie and I wanted to say once again, “thank you”
and “God bless you” for everything you so kindly,
lovingly, graciously, and wonderfully shared with us
this summer. Basically, we are eternally grateful to
you for the sharing of your lives with us. We are just
not sure how to adequately tell you how much you
all have changed our lives for the much better. You
are truly blessing to us in ways we have yet to
discover. You are in our hearts forever.
Annie is back home loving the grandkids, and I am
on campus in Newberry preparing for the controlled
chaos that is a college campus for the fall
semester. A portion of our hearts however will
always be in San Clemente with you. We will and
A NOTE FROM
PASTOR ERNIE are keeping you all in our prayers. We ask for your
prayers as well.
Be kind to Pastor Jeff and welcome him home as
one renewed in Christ and empowered to preach,
teach and lead, in the power of God’s Holy
Spirit. You are blessed to have Jeff and his family in
your midst. I am forever grateful to my Brother in
Christ who had faith in my ability to serve you if
only for 89 days.
I continue my blog at
newberrycampusministry.wordpress.com. You can
follow Newberry College Campus ministry on
Twitter at https://twitter.com/wolvesNministry
We hope to stop by in March while we are
California next year on spring break. Be well good
friends and may God fill you with all things
necessary to serve his people in San Clemente.
Remember, you are the light of Christ in word and
deeds where you live and work and play. Have
courage little flock; God is with you.
I remain your servant in Christ,
Pastor Ernie Worman

POST SABBATICAL THANKFULNESS!
Many have asked about my
Sabbatical and I can
confidently say that it
exceeded my expectations.
I hope that you can come
and see some of the
pictures and hear some of
the stories that I’ll share on
Sunday morning during our
Adult Study time. I also want to thank the
congregation for its willingness to support a
Sabbatical policy that allows for times of renewal
and reflection by your pastor. This particular time
we were blessed by the Clergy Renewal Grant from
the Lily Foundation which paid for all but $75 of
our expenses. I hope my time away will be reflected
in renewed passion for our mutual work here at Our
Savior’s!
BAPTISM FESTIVAL!!!
TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
SUNDAY NOVEMBER 5th!
Are you baptized? Are your children baptized? Has
your Great Aunt shared that she would like to be
baptized? Baptism is the gift of God given to us
through Jesus Christ in which our assurance of
salvation and God’s good and gracious love is given
to us as a sign and seal of God’s faithfulness. It is a
command from Jesus, that all of us should be
baptized. This command is given in love so that
none of us might doubt God’s ability to reach into
the human heart and work God’s great promises in
our lives.
Sign up for the Great Baptismal Festival on Sunday
November 5th here at OSLC! Please let Pastor know
or stop into the church office. Folks will be free to
come forward during the worship service as well!
ALREADY BAPTIZED? GOOD!!! No need to be
baptized again. As scripture says: “One Lord, One
faith and One Baptism.” Ephesians 4:5. However,
we’ll have a place for you to reaffirm your Baptism
as well and rejoice in
the promises that
God has given you!
Walking Group
The walking group continues to meet each Tuesday
morning at 8:00am on the corner of Vista Hermosa
and Costa Azul, to walk the Sea Summit Trails.

September 2017
A note from Karen….
Rally Day is September 10. It will be a LOT of fun with a Classic Car Show, In-N-Out Burgers, Bounce
House and more. It serves as a “kick-off” for our fall programming.
As I was trying to decide what to write for my newsletter article, I came across this article from a couple
years ago. It still resonates with me so I thought I would share it again. Is this your life? Do you want this to
be your life? I would love to hear your thoughts…
Make room for the walnuts!!! Huh???
Busy, busy, busy…..
Often when I start a conversation with a friend, I will say, “How are you doing?” Many times the
answer is “I’m so busy.” We seem to be very busy all the time. Just at our house, we have two working
adults, two dogs and a turtle to care for, volunteer work, shopping, gardening, trash day, housework, cooking,
cleaning, laundry and, oh yeah, church.
Does church come last in our list of “things to do?” I do not ask if “God” comes last, because, at least
for me, I know that God is everywhere so I don’t have to GO anywhere to be with God. But, church…
I have to shower, do my hair, get dressed, put on my shoes, get in the car, get gas, drive to church… busy,
busy, busy.
I was given a gift once of a jar with rice and walnuts in it. The jar was full to the top and had a card
attached that read:
In this empty jar, I poured rice, and then tried to insert all these walnuts.
They didn't fit, that way.
Emptying the jar again, I put the walnuts in first, then poured in the rice, and everything fit—each walnut and
every grain of rice.
This jar represents our time spent with the Lord, and the rice represents all the other busy things that fill up
our days. When you put in the walnuts first, and pour in the rice after that, it all fits. If you try to put in the
rice first, there isn't enough space in the jar for it all, even though the same amount fit when we put the
walnuts first.
I feel that way about the important things in my life – God, church, family, friends and ME. When I put
everything else first, I don’t have time for any of it. When I put in the walnuts first, there is room in my life
for the rest.
I would invite you to make a commitment this fall to make church a walnut. Come to worship,
participate in a Bible Study, join the choir (my personal favorite). It WILL make life fall into place.
In His Service,
Karen Skipper ~ Director of Music

Youth and Children’s Ministry
by Bob Cooper - Director of Youth and Children’s Ministries
Grace is All Around
Well the summer is waning and we are looking
forward to a wonderful fall season. During the
summer the youth did our normal summer things,
weekly meetings, Gilchrist House service, Vacation
Day Camp, and such, but something happened
during Extreme Week that I thought I would share.
Now for those that may not know, Extreme Week is
a youth event that entails us going to 3 theme parks
in one week. This year, in order to keep the cost as
reasonable as possible, I had purchased the tickets in
advance and had exactly the amounts that we needed
for each day. On the last day, Knott’s Berry Farm
day, as we were entering the park all of the youth
and adults had been admitted and I was just
presenting my ticket when the scanner showed a
problem with my ticket. How could this be? I had
just watched a dozen people enter in front of me
using tickets that I had purchased myself at the same
time! Well it turns out that the ticket in my hand was
not for Knott’s Berry Farm but rather for Knott’s
Soak City which is across the street; my ticket
salesperson had made a mistake. I was instructed to
go to the Guest services window to straighten this
out. At the guest services window I was told that
since I had purchased the tickets from a third party
and not directly from Knott’s that I would have to
take the matter up with them, not good, I had a
group of teens already in the park. Clearly I was
going to have to buy a ticket for myself, not the end
of the world, but not ideal either. As I was
presenting the money for my ticket I felt a soft hand
on my shoulder and turned to find a very nice lady
smiling at me. She asked if I was buying a ticket and
if so that I should stop and put my money back into
my pocket, she had an extra ticket that she was
going to give away anyway and that I was welcome
to it! Now I like to think that God is watching out
for me as I work with the youth in my charge, but I
rarely see such a great example of grace displayed
by humans as I saw that day. This person didn’t
know me, didn’t owe me anything, I had done
nothing to earn that free ticket, and she certainly had
nothing to gain by giving it to me, yet there I was,
entering the park without paying a dime extra, all
she said was “have fun and God bless”. God bless,
indeed.
