1 Happenings the at St. Philip June 30, 2013 Sixth Sunday after Pentecost Welcome! St. Philip Lutheran Church is a community where all people are welcome, may come to know Jesus Christ, become faithful followers empowered by the Holy Spirit, and are sent with Christ s love into the world. Message From The Pastor And We're Off! As you are reading this Nikki, Roseanna and I are on an airplane from Paris to Madagascar. We got to the DIA at 8:15 on Saturday morning and we will arrive in Madagascar at 10:10pm on Sunday, which is 1:10pm (Sunday) in Denver. The time change from Denver to Madagascar is nine hours. We have been preparing for this trip for many months and we are thankful it is finally here. We are excited to meet the people of Madagascar, form relationships with our brothers and sisters in Madagascar, experience worship in the Malagasy Lutheran Church (FML), and be with them as people of God as we learn from them and they learn from us. It has been fun trying to get ready for this trip with getting the shots and medication we need and purchasing things we have never had to purchase before like a mosquito net. The really fun part has been trying to pack our luggage. We can take a 50lb bag or two to get to Madagascar, but we can only have a total of 44lbs, no matter how many bags you have, when we fly in Madagascar. One of the things we are already taking from this trip is that it isn't about what we have or how often we wear the same clothes, but it is about being present with those we are with; in this case, our brothers and sisters in Madagascar. It is about the people we meet and the relationships we form. The first couple of days we will be in the capital of Madagascar: Antananarivo and then we will travel by bus to Mahajanga. This trip is full of many different excursions, meetings, activities, visits, and experiences. We hope that you will travel with us as you are in Denver. We have created a couple of pages on our website that shares a lot of information about our trip like our itinerary. You can follow where our group is going and keep us in prayer. Take a look at our new website at Continued on page 7>>>

2 WORSHIP Worship Notes - June 30, 2013 INTRODUCTION We have no good apart from God. That makes our Lord's call to follow him an invitation to freedom. This is freedom to revel in the Spirit's fruits: love, joy, peace, patience, and the like. This is the path of life. FIRST READING: 1 Kings 19:15-16, In the story preceding today's reading, the prophet Elijah flees for his life to the security of God's mountain. There the Lord reveals to Elijah that there are still other faithful people in Israel and commissions him to anoint new leaders, including his own successor, Elisha. SECOND READING: Galatians 5:1, For Paul, the freedom Christ gives is not permission to do whatever we want. It is the invitation to be what we could not be otherwise. The power and guidance of Christ's Holy Spirit produce a different kind of life, one marked by the fruit of this Holy Spirit. GOSPEL: Luke 9:51-62 Jesus is unwavering in his commitment to his mission in Jerusalem and will not be swayed by pettiness. In a series of striking cases in point, he calls his disciples to a similar single-mindedness.

11 CHURCH NEWS Over 25 people came together this past Saturday, June 15 th, to help clean up and improve the church grounds. The to do list was long, but they accomplished a lot! They pulled weeds, installed metal edging, pulled out old rocks & mulch and put in new, cleaned out trash from under trees and bushes, swept the parking lot, buried sprinkler lines, whacked weeds, trimmed trees & shrubs, raked up pine cones and needles the list goes on and on, but they got a huge amount done! Thanks go out to: Sarah Krohn Gaylen & Carolyn Rapp LeRae Schnickel Ed Fritsch Larry Edwards John Breed Dick Rusch David Bolt Mark Celusniak Bill Stouder Roger Bracken Pastor Brad Bob Delong Jan & Gary Philpy Karen Otto Dennis & Elise Gorman Jerry Mydlach Austin & Bryant Barchet the Keller family - Jim, Melissa, Dillon & Will The Keller family showed how even the youngest parishioner can be a helper - Dillon and little Will helped pick up pine cones and sweep pine needles. They even helped move rocks we are calling them our little rock stars! The list of tasks was rather daunting, but the results of all that effort is that our parking lot and all the grounds close to the building now look refreshed and tidy, and pleasing to the eye. No dramatic changes, but altogether it shows the congregation s pride and clearly demonstrates that we are trying to be good stewards of our resources. Thank you everyone, for all your hard work! All of us sharing our gifts in service Summer Coffee Hosts Needed Additional coffee hosts are needed for upcoming Sundays.
