1 The Epiphany Star May 2015 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. On May 17, we will have our Annual Congregational Meeting at 9:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall. There will be the usual breakfast food to draw us in and gather us around the table with family and friends. There will also be the usual reports from the Secretary of the Church Council, the Treasurer, and our various committees. There will be opportunities for everyone to voice their opinion on a variety of subjects. Each year, your church council presents a budget for the coming year that supports the mission and ministry of our faith community. For some of the members of our congregation, it really doesn t matter what kind of budget is presented as they attend weekly worship and attend the congregational meetings. For others, the budget reflects a real desire to support the mission and ministry of our congregation. As a faith community, Epiphany Lutheran Church has a very rich tradition of reaching out beyond the four walls of our church facility into the community of Fort Wayne and beyond. I, for one, am very thankful for the mission and ministry we do collectively. While we may not be one of the largest congregations in the Fort Wayne area, we certainly share of our Time, Talents, and Treasures with a number of people. There are some changes that will be coming to our faith community over the next several months. If you have been attending the quarterly congregational meetings, then you know that we are in the process of making some amendments to the Epiphany Lutheran Church constitution and adding to our outreach with a daycare called Bullfrogs and Butterflies Daycare Ministries. Periodically, as a congregation, we need to make amendments and changes in our constitution to better reflect our faith community and to make changes to the constitution that are required by the ELCA and the Indiana/Kentucky Synod governing bodies. It is a long process, as there are procedures that need to be followed to make those changes. The first one is that the changes have to be written, read at a regularly called 1

2 congregational meeting, voted on, read and voted on again at a congregational meeting, then submitted to the Indiana/Kentucky Synod for its approval, and then read again to the congregation at a called congregational meeting. It is after all of these procedures that the changes then become part of our constitution. Why is it so difficult to make constitutional changes? It is to help prevent changes that may cause us problems in the long term. The checks and balances system is to be a help and to allow us to make changes for the better in our life together. Over the past several months and at least two quarterly congregational meetings, there has been discussion about starting a new daycare for infants through school age here at Epiphany. Megan and Steven Behm will be the directors of the new ministry. They have been busy working on all of the required paperwork to be licensed by the State of Indiana to be a licensed daycare facility. It is a very detailed process that has a number of checks and balances in making sure that the childcare providers meet certain standards and the facility meets certain standards. It is an opportunity for young families to come into our building and be provided with a wholesome and healthy daycare program. It will also mean that we will have to undergo some changes in the use of our facilities. We will have to work together. It also means that our facilities will be being used at least six days a week all year long. So what does all of this mean for Epiphany Lutheran Church? It means that we are trying some new ministries. It means that we doing some things that may cause us to feel uncomfortable for a while because it will be strange and different which isn t always a negative. It means that all of us should be praying to God for guidance and discernment as we venture into new ministries. God can use each of us to shape these new ministries and make a difference in the lives of others as well as in our own. I look forward to the mission and ministry that God is calling each of us to be a part of here at Epiphany Lutheran Church. I am thankful that we have this new opportunity to make a difference in people s lives. Together, we can reflect that we are the Body of Christ located at 6606 Maplecrest Road, Fort Wayne, IN. Let us go into our community showing God s love in all that we do. In Christ, Pastor Richard Hartman 2

6 Mission Moment May 2015 This month, we are continuing our collection of items for the Baby Layettes and the Health Kits. There are lists of the items needed on the following page and on the table in the narthex. Some of these items may be found at garage sales or during your spring cleaning. These kits are a blessing to the families that receive them. The donation of t-shirts, which will be used to make diapers, is going well. The Layettes include baby blankets and sweaters. If any of you are interested in either knitting or crocheting any of these items, we have yarn in the Mission Room. Please see me and I will take you back there to pick some out to use. This month is the city-wide food drive by our postal workers, and while 100 s of pounds of food will be collected, this will only last for a few months. We have the blue barrel out in the gathering area for a continuing collection of food items which will be delivered to Associated Churches. Your donations to the troops have been picked up and are on the way to bring a little bit of home to our soldiers overseas. We are now working with the group HOOSIERS FOR HEROES; they will update us on changes in needs, and they will make monthly pickups when contacted. There is a brochure about them as well as an updated list on the table by the red bin. Thank you for your generosity you have been a blessing to so many people. Written by Sandi Swanson 6
