Area Ministry 5 June
2016
Congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Central States Synod
Synod Assembly in Wichita
Thirty of the Assembly delegates participated in a Wichita area service project including help-
ing out at the Kansas Food Bank, helping at Mision San Juan de Dios and serving a lunch to
community members at St. Paul’s-Wichita offering the menu of the Community Breakfast
served there each Saturday (except the first Saturday of each month). Katie and Ken Hobart of
Reformation, Elaine Harvey, Mary McCrea and Pastor Dave Fulton of St. Paul’s-Wichita
and the Rev. Maynard Peterson were among the local volunteers who helped the delegate vol-
unteers get started - the group quickly got into the swing of cracking eggs and creating deli-
cious pancakes and then welcoming and serving lunch to the neighbors who attended.
The Son of God, Our Christ The Son of God, our Christ, the
Word, the Way, shared human life
and toiled throughout the day; from
common folk he called the twelve to
be co-workers in his sacred ministry.
In ev’ry test, in trials manifold, these
servants witnessed by their faith
made bold; and with the gifts and
talents which they brought the church
was founded and God’s message
taught.
Today, as then, Christ summos us to
dare to follow boldly and his work to
share, to help and heal the sick, the
blind, the lame, declaring to the
world his holy name.
In city street, in town, or on the soil,
may each serve Christ in faithful
daily toil, and in each thought and
kinly word and deed, obey Christ call
and go where he shall need.
Where’er we find our witness should be
made, that e’er our task, be thou, O
Christ, our aid, that we may gladly give
for thee our best and find each task di-
vinely sent and blest.

LIRS Presentation at Christ-Wichita
A number of Area 5 peo-
ple attended a presenta-
tion by Pr. Paul Erbes of
Lutheran Immigration
and Refugee Services at
Christ Lutheran the
morning of June 2 and
heard a very interesting
update of LIRS services
with refugees, unaccom-
panied children, and im-
migrants – and the status
of each of those groups. LIRS is the second largest settler
of refugees in the US, working in partnership with the U.S.
Dept. of State. One of the points brought up is no State
can deny entrance of refugees – the U.S. has that authority.
Any person admitted by the U.S. may live in any state.
Interesting discussion.
By the grace of God and the call of the church

Mosaic Moment
Mosaic was founded over 103 years ago by servant leaders
of the Lutheran church. Rev. K.G. William Dahl looked
upon a field north of
Axtell, Nebraska
and said, "There is
where we will build
our mission." For
some time, the dream to build a home for people unwelcome
elsewhere had been growing in his heart. He had seen how
people with disabilities, people with epilepsy, the poor and
others were treated in the county farms and other institutions
and he wanted to offer something better.
Founded on Feb. 19, 1913, the home he established was
called Bethphage Mission. There, people were treated as
guests, rather than inmates. They were respected, not re-
sented. They found welcome, not hostility. People who were
unwelcome elsewhere flourished and created a community
of Christian charity where everyone helped each other, staff
and residents alike.
To hear how Mosaic partners with people with intellectual
disabilities today - you are invited to an upcoming
“Discover the Possibilities” tours offered regularly in the
Mosaic office at 2120 E. 9th Avenue, Winfield, Kansas.
Upcoming tours are: Tuesday, June 21st at Noon
Thursday, June 23rd at Noon
Tuesday, July 19th at Noon
Thursday, July 21st at Noon
Thursday, August 18th at Noon Thursday, August 18th
at 6:00 p.m.
These tours last approximately 50 minutes and provide com-
munity members the opportunity to learn how Mosaic part-
ners with people with intellectual disabilities to create a
meaningful life in a caring community while giving a voice
to their needs. Lunch to go provided – please contact Nancy
Maier to reserve your seat! (please do this several days be-
fore your chosen tour date.)

ESOL Students Celebrate

New President at Bethany Bethany College announced on May 13th that
William Jones will be its 14th president.
In their press release Bethany said that his
passion for higher education and his life’s
journey have guided him throughout his ca-
reer. In his most current role as Vice Presi-
dent for External Relations at LaGrange Col-
lege in LaGrange, Georgia, Jones has led re-
cord fundraising and enrollment growth. His
appeal to Bethany as its next President included more than only
his fundraising background, according to Corey Peterson, new
chair of the Bethany Board of Directors.
“We are excited to have Will, Amy, and their family join the
Bethany and Lindsborg family,” Peterson said. “Will brings a
proven ability to lead, especially in the important areas of fund-
raising and student enrollment. His skills, work ethic, faith,
along with a transparent and servant leadership approach are
exactly what we need as Bethany moves forward.”
Jones and his family enjoy taking an active role in campus life
by attending events and hosting students, faculty and staff to
their home.
“I hope that in addition to wearing the title of President of
Bethany College, I will also earn titles of mentor, colleague,
confidant, counselor and friend,” he said.
Bethany College hosted a picnic on Wednesday, May 18 to
welcome President Jones and his family.

A
Summer Bible Study The Gather magazine’s summer Bible study, "The Heart of
the Matter," is available free using the
links below! It is a 3 session study, the
author is the Rev. Angela Shannon.
“Repentance, forgiveness and reconcilia-
tion are healing words,” Angela Shannon
writes. “We hear these words spoken
from our pulpits, in our hymns and vari-
ous places throughout our churches. Yet we see conflict in our
society and the ways in which we harm each other. We are
about to enter an election year where the politics are as shrill
and mean as ever.”
Although we look to the church for a safe haven from con-
flict, Shannon says, “life follows us through the doors, and
there too we find conflict.”
“Conflicts are nothing new to the church,” Shannon says.
“What’s miraculous is that God continues to create us anew.
God insists on entrusting us with the ministry of reconcilia-
tion."
She continues: “In working with congregations, I have found
that although people are familiar with the healing words of
Christ’s church, we must continue to learn the practical appli-
cation of these words.”
Session 1: Treasure in clay jars (2 Corinthians 4:7)
Session 2: Seeking God (Jeremiah 29:14)
Session 3: The ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians
5:17-19)

New ELCA Federal Credit Union Opens
The ELCA Federal Credit Union, the new credit union of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), cele-
brated its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony
June 6 at its headquarters in The Lutheran Center in Chi-
cago. This is the first credit union chartered by the National
Credit Union Administration to open in Illinois in 10 years.
The institution will serve ELCA members, congregations
and ELCA-related ministries and their employees.
The ELCA credit union supports the ELCA's mission to
promote wise stewardship of members' and congregations'
financial resources, based on the ELCA's social statement
on economic life, "Sufficient, Sustainable Livelihood for
All." The statement, adopted by the 1999 ELCA Church-
wide Assembly, expresses ELCA teaching that economic
activity is a means through which God's will is served for
the thriving and wellbeing of humankind and the care of the
earth.
The ELCA Mission Investment Fund, a financial ministry of
the ELCA, was instrumental in laying the groundwork for
the creation of the ELCA Federal Credit Union and securing
the charter approval by the National Credit Union Admini-
stration. The fund specializes in church building projects.
Besides the credit union and Mission Investment
Fund, the other two ELCA financial ministries are the En-
dowment Fund of the ELCA, a pooled fund made available
through the ELCA Foundation to all ELCA entities; and
Portico Benefits Services, which provides benefits and ser-
vices to enhance the well-being of ELCA rostered leaders
and lay employees.
The ELCA social statement "Sufficient, Sustainable
Livelihood for All" is available here.
God’s Work, Our Hands September 11
“God’s work.
Our hands.” Sun-
day is an opportu-
nity to celebrate
who we are as the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America – one church,
freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. The sug-
gested date for the 2016 dedicated day of service is Sunday,
Sept. 11. Mark your calendars today! If your congregation
cannot participate on this date, please consider another day.
Service activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one
of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life in
Jesus Christ – every act of service, in every daily calling, in
every corner of life – flows freely from a living, daring con-
fidence in God’s grace. You work every day to make your
community a better place. Let us continue doing this work
together in 2016!
