3 V o l u m e 9 0, I s s u e 9 P a g e 3 She was the glue that held our family together, one family member quipped about their relative who had just died. I have lived away from the family for so long that I just don t feel I fit any more, another family member told me. In this second story, as we ate together following the funeral, I began asking family members questions to get conversation flowing. By carefully asking each family member questions that related to the ongoing conversation, the distant family member began to participate in the ongoing conversation that was unfolding over lunch. It takes work to rebuild relationships when time or damage has happened. Healthy relationships give us our deepest sense of identity and anchor us in life. It is in our relationships that we find life s deepest meaning and purpose. pastor dahlseng 50 Day Adventure Grace is a community of relationships, some very close and some not so much. As I have listened to stories of people at Grace during this 90 th anniversary year, I observe that many people have long and deep relationships at Grace. Others at Grace, are not very connected. The idea of the 50 Day Adventure, beginning on October 5 through November 23, is to strengthen the community of Grace by giving everyone the opportunity to know and be known by others! The 50 Day Adventure has a study booklet with daily Bible readings from the New Testament book of Ephesians with questions for you to ponder. For anyone new to reading the Bible, the daily reading (5 days per week two free days you pick) will take between 5-10 minutes per day. You could spend more time if you choose but it is very doable. The key idea of the 50 Day Adventure is to invite a few others to meet at your home or Sheri s Place, McDonald s, or Starbucks around coffee and talk about life and maybe even God. Or, you could join a group at church. We build community by investing time to get to know and be known by others. I am confident that you will look back on the time you spent with others in this adventure as some of the best time you invested in 2014! I give credit for the idea of the 50 Day Adventure to Scott Boren, our church consultant who was with us in early June and with whom I have monthly phone conversations. I find it very helpful and rewarding to have fresh eyes looking over my shoulder and asking questions as well as observations. Rebuilding Grace Preschool Project Update The State Fire Marshal has signed off on a variance for our 4 th classroom (the interior room) on the first floor. A second doorway in that room, as well as work in the West end stairwell exit to the Preschool, some additional smoke detectors on the second floor and changes for fire safety sake to our North doorway into the offices will need to be addressed. The good news is that we were granted our variance. In addition to these changes, we still need the certification from DCFS prior to occupancy by our Preschool. Thanks for your prayers and patience! We welcome the following families as members of Grace! Erin Cannell Children: Parker and Abigail Lynn Scott Bill Haynes Greg Dangelo and Robin Milligan Children: Ross, Haleigh, and Kaleb Dunaway Phil and Pam Hensley Daniel Lindberg Martha Meier Patrick and Brynn Moore Children: Emily and Lucas Moore James and Geri Williams
4 P a g e 4 C o m m u n i t y M a t t e r s youth news A First Time for Everything My favorite time of year at Grace is the summer. School is out. We have big student events like Confirmation Camp and the Mission Trip. I can meet up with kids during normal parts of the day, instead of just the evenings. It s just great. While I love them I don t want to get so caught up in our normal routines that we get completely set in our ways. So this summer we are going to be trying something new instead of our annual mission trip. July 15th-19th is the ELCA s National Youth Gathering, an event that only takes place every four years. Next year, 40,000 youth and adults will converge on Ford Field in Detroit for a weekend of service, learning, and worship. There will be nationally acclaimed speakers, awesome service opportunities, and unlike every mission trip I ve ever gone on, there will be hotel accommodations. This adds up to an excellent trip that still carries the service and group bonding elements of our mission trip, but adds a whole new dynamic in the group worship and learning experiences. The National Youth Gathering gives many new opportunities but it also costs more per student than our summer trips have in the past. We will be rolling out a few new fundraisers this year to help offset the cost to families and I want to say thank you in advance for the generosity that I know Grace will provide. The youth and volunteers who attend are going as representatives of Grace to those we serve in Detroit. Further, this is an opportunity that is unlike many of what our kids have ever experienced. Something of this scale and magnitude, seeing so many young believers live out their faith, can have a huge and lasting impact on the lives of our kids. I ask and hope that you might be able to be a part of making this work for some of our families who are in need. If you are interested in attending this year we will be having our first planning meeting on Sunday Oct. 12th at 10:00 a.m. in the youth room at the end of the gym. I m excited for this new opportunity and for the adventure it will be for those who go on it. Upcoming Events: Tuesday, September 30th: Sound and Media Meeting at 6:00 p.m. 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, October 1st: Calendar Sales Begin Sunday, October 12th: Grace Night Out at 3:00 p.m. Sunday, October 19th: CROP Walk at 1:00 p.m. Sunday, October 26th: Trunk or Treat at 4:00 p.m.-5:45 p.m. If you would like to volunteer for any of these events please contact me, Chris Thomas at cthomas@gracelovespark.org or call the church at Carol Johnson Memorial Scholarship Fundraiser Enjoy an evening meal with family and friends at Backyard Grill on North Second St. in Loves Park. Dine from 5:00-9:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 23rd and 20% of the cost of your food will be donated to our preschool scholarship fund to help families with tuition costs. Scholarships are currently helping 19 families. preschool news
