3 Page 3 FALL IS COMING CHANGE IS COMING VOLUME IX ISSUE X Are you ready for summer to be over? Have you done all you fall clothes shopping along with the back to school supplies? Have you figured out what are all the activities you are signing up to participate in? The summer has been filled with planning for the fall activities. It has meant spending time in prayer asking God for direction, spending time listening to the needs/wants of families, spending time discussing possibilities, and again spending time praying to discern God s plan. Discernment is different from studying the statistics and making a quantified decision. It is about spending time with God. Listening to God through Bible study, prayer and discussion. It involves more time to consider God s plan. It is spending time in quiet to hear God. As we are reminded by Elijah in 1Kings 19 Lord was not in the wind;... not in the earthquake;... not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of sheer silence or in the King James Version a still small voice was where God s calling could be heard. This is the voice we need to listen to the most. It does not always come with full plans and many times I have found myself saying I think this is what you want Lord but I am not sure. I am going to take these steps toward doing this. If it is your will, help me in doing this. If it is not your will, then have these steps fail drastically so that I know to pursue something else. Discernment is not always easy. Even when we are confident of God s will, many times we have to wait for others to be open and to listen to that still small voice. The work we are doing with United in Christ Ministry, Pantry Pals, and Wednesday Night Live all have and continue to require our ongoing discernment. Every time we meet as leaders for this congregation we need to spend time in study and prayer so that we will continue making the wise choices that God wants us to do. The council has plans this September to do a Ministry Review through the Synod. We will have a team of individuals who will meet with various people in the congregation and in the community. They will help us look at who we are, where we are, and what we need and want to be doing. As outsiders they will give us a different perspective on our ministries as we continue our work and our discerning what God is calling us to do in this place at this time. We will do this in the midst of changes on Wednesdays: expanding the adult ministry, changing the style for youth, adding God s Word, Our Hands, and adding the worship service. Then changing the way we help feed our neighbors through Pantry Pals. By the end of October all of this will be routine just as the school and extra curricular schedules will have fallen into place. United In Christ Ministry continues to develop. Right now four of the pastors are taking a course on developing leaders as collaborative teams. We are doing advance reading with online discussion. At the end of September the four of us will be attending a week of discussion and learning at Luther Seminary after which we will be working together on a project. As I have met with our group of clergy, I can see how this class is helping us to be more of a collaborative team. We are coming together in new ways that will continue to help all of the congregation to see the benefit of a staff of clergy. We have different specialties that are a compliment to each other and will enhance all the ministries. The discernment process in the other congregations is taking longer but giving the time for the congregations and the clergy to grow in this way (and that includes us) will be worth it in the long run. Celebrating the coming of all the fall changes. Pastor Deborah
