1 The Epiphany Star January 2019 Newsletter of Epiphany Lutheran Church Fort Wayne, Indiana Dear Epiphany Lutheran Church, Grace to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. Amen marks a very important mile-stone in the life and ministry of Epiphany Lutheran Church of Fort Wayne, IN. It is our 50 th Anniversary of becoming a charted congregation. It has been an interesting 50-year history. There have been a number of events in the history of our congregation and within the Lutheran Church. Some of the events have been helpful in the sharing of the Gospel message, while other events have not been so helpful. Over the next twelve months, The 50 th Anniversary Task Force will be presenting and hosting a number of events. There will be four Pulpit Dramas that will depict some of the historical events that took place in the history of our congregation. If you would like to be a part of the Pulpit Dramas please see Pastor Richard for more information. There will be two major events planned for There will be a Church Picnic with old fashion games and food in July. This event will invite the neighborhoods around Epiphany. Currently we have four different Neighborhood Associations that routinely meet in our facilities. This is a great way to show that we want to be good neighbors. There will be a Home-Coming Event with a meal and sharing in October. The Home Coming Events is just what it sounds like. It will feature a number of different events but culminate in a banquet. Each month, throughout 2019, there will be some kind of talk about the mission and ministries of Epiphany Lutheran Church over the years. You won t want to miss these opportunities. One of the most helpful things you can do is help the Task Force is to help gather addresses of former members. If you are friends with former members it would be very helpful if you would write their address and telephone number on a piece of paper and put it in the black tray in Dia s office. We would really like to have as many people back in July and October as we possibly can. If there is a particular

2 event that you would like to help with please let one of the 50 th Anniversary Task Force members know. The Task Force Members are: Lee and Sandy Hedin, Sue, Kay Evans, Barbara Werling, Denny and Karen Payne, and Pastor Richard. Through out 2019 we will be celebrating 50 years of mission and ministry as Epiphany Lutheran Church! That is a true gift from God. We have been blessed in so many different ways. Thank YOU! Pastor Richard Hartman Action Teams - How they work Anyone that has a Thrivent Policy of any kind can apply for an action team card which is seed money for a service, fund raising or service activity of $250.

4 Lutheran Senior Care Ministry Update January 2019 LSCM has gained the support of two additional Lutheran churches- Antioch and Southwest. Rev. Dan May will join us as our new Executive Chaplain in January. We will also add some new Board members at our February 7 Delegate meeting at Epiphany. Thanks to Jerry Schmidt, our outgoing Treasurer, and Carol Hille-Klemm, longtime Board member who are leaving their roles in Our Secretary, Judy May will also resign as Pastor May is her husband and it would be a conflict of interest. We continue to gain support in the community and plan to increase visibility and advertising in We also are exploring partnerships with elder care agencies as a spiritual support resource. God bless you for your support of this ministry to elders in our community, many of whom can t attend their own church and some who are receiving the Word of the Lord for the first time. Peace!

6 Mission Moment January 2019 Thanks to everyone who so generously donated to our military families. We were able to make sure they were provided with lots of Christmas cheer. As we continue to celebrate the Christmas season through Epiphany, we hope to collect items for A Baby s Closet. Please bring your gifts of diapers, clothing, toys and baby food and place them in the crib in the gathering area. Throughout January we hope to gather items for Come 2 Go as they minister to the homeless in our community. We will collect men s socks, gloves, hats and hand warmers. As soon as the NFL play-offs begin we will start to collect soup for the Associated Churches Food Bank, leading up to Super Bowl Sunday. Vote with your cans for your favorite team! Written by Jsne Dawkins 6

7 Winter Wear Needed! As hats, gloves, and scarves go on sale after the holidays and the wintry weather starts, please consider picking up an item for Come2Go s ministry to the homeless. Thank you! As many of you know, Epiphany is part of the Kroger Community Rewards program, where members can have a portion of all of their Kroger purchases come back to the church. If you are currently enrolled in this program, thank you! If you are unsure if you are enrolled check the bottom of a receipt and Epiphany will be printed as your recipient. If you receive an about Kroger Community Rewards simply open the and click on Keep Current Organization. You should be taken to a confirmation screen where you will see Epiphany listed as your organization, and you re all set! If you have not yet enrolled in this program and would like to take this easy step to help generate funds for the church, there is an information sheet with instructions available in the tract rack in the narthex. Thank you for your support! It s SOUPER Bowl Time! In mid-january, we will begin collecting for our annual Souper Bowl contest! Each year, Epiphany members have the chance to root for their favorite Super Bowl team by bringing in nonperishable food items to be donated to the Associated Churches Food Bank. Once the teams have been set, simply bring in your items and place them on the appropriate side of our field to let us know which team you want to see win! Epiphany almost always correctly predicts the winner of the big game, so if you want to see your team emerge victorious, bring in those canned goods! 7
