If you concentrate on what you don t have, you will never, ever have enough. Unknown 8 From the Pastor... Dear Members and Friends of St. Stephen Lutheran Church, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you or thirsty and give you something to drink? (Matthew 25:37) This year s CROP Hunger Walk will be on Sunday, October 14 (see further details in this newsletter.) The CROP Walk is always an inspiring and fun event. I encourage you all to take part in some way, either by walking and/or financially supporting our St. Stephen walkers. Funds raised support the work of Church World Service (CWS) in helping hungry people around the world and in our own community. 25% of the monies raised in Lansing stay right here in our community to support local hunger ministries. For a number of years I served on the Advisory Board for Church World Service in Michigan and I had the opportunity to learn a lot about the work of Church World Service in our country and around the world. Church World Service, like its partner agencies Lutheran World Relief (LWR) and ELCA World Hunger, does wonderful work around the world in relief, development and advocacy on behalf of people in poverty. CWS doesn t just provide emergency food and blankets, but helps poor communities with development projects that help people help themselves. Through CWS, LWR and ELCA World Hunger we are able to be Christ s arms and hands reaching out in love around the world. Please make a pledge on someone, and get out your walking shoes! We walk, because they walk. To join our St. Stephen Team or donate to support our walkers go to: For more information contact Mike Borta, our St. Stephen CROP Walk captain. I ll be gone the weekend of our CROP Walk, so I plan on doing an alternate walk on Wednesday, October 17 at noon. If you d like to join me during the lunch hour, come by St. Stephen and we ll walk for an hour or so for Church World Service. We have started a new adult Bible study on Sunday and Wednesday mornings at 9:00 am. It s a study of ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton s four emphases in her teaching: We are church. We are Lutheran. We are church together. We are church for the sake of the world. Each week we begin with a brief baptismal remembrance liturgy. Come and join us. God s love and peace be with you all. Yours in Christ, Pastor Erick Johnson
2 Page 2 The Evangel Finance Matters Trinity Lutheran Seminary Thank you for generously supporting our second offering in August designated for Trinity Lutheran Seminary. Your gifts in August totaled $308. Thanksgiving Baskets During the month of October, our second offering supports our donation of Thanksgiving Baskets to families referred to us by Christian Services. We have $1,036 currently designated for this purpose, and trust that with your gifts during the month of October, we can provide 20 baskets as has been our custom. Last year, we did not participate because of our negative unrestricted fund balance and corresponding lack of cash on hand. Thank you for your faithful generosity this year. Our unrestricted fund balance continues to grow, allowing us to use designated funds for their intended purposes. Thanksgiving Baskets A tisket, a tasket it s almost time for THANKSGIVING BASKETS. The information received from CHRISTIAN SERVICES was shared at our September Church Council meeting. The decision was made to do twenty baskets this year. Baskets will be filled on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH. People receiving a basket will be picking them up at church that same day instead of us making the delivery. (Those who have volunteered to deliver in the past found no one to be home even after several attempts.) Toward the end of October there will be sign up sheets on the serve table in the fellowship hall to provide homemade baked goods, assembling baskets, and assistance picking up the food. PLEASE let Claudia Cameron know if you would like to help out with this important ministry. ( or cameron6216@sbcglobal.net) Giving thanks and praise to GOD from whom all blessing flow that we are able to provide a complete THANKSGIVING feast for 20 families in our community. Holly Lefanty sends a big thank you for the beautiful card she received from St. Stephen. 2 Mike & Amy Bucht 6 Ron & Chris Miller Ken & Tara Busha 23 Stan & Sandi Kotajarvi 10 Hazel Hiester 15 Zach Telder 19 Heather Lewis Lilliana Butts 20 Evelyn Toomey 23 Susan Leeming 24 Jim Lahti 26 Ben Carpenter 27 Paul Bielawski Tessa Cox 29 Julie Dartt 30 Maxine Jubb 31 Amanda Lewis
