2 Live Generously Perhaps you have noticed many of our members wearing t-shirts that say Live Generously! The t-shirt is part of Thrivent s Action Teams program to help congregations reach out in care and concern for others. I must admit I smile when I see one of those t-shirts. They are also a reminder to me to check my own spirit of generosity. There are plenty of times in a day that I get messages to consume for my own benefit, but not so many to be generous. Every year about this time, the church attempts to break into the message of consumerism with a message of generosity. Live Generously, based on I Timothy 6:18-19, is the theme for this year s Stewardship emphasis. It is an opportunity to deepen our understanding of stewardship discipline, and a time to consider where God is leading us as a generous faith community. Generosity is transformational and always starts with God. He is a generous God and we are to be a generous people. Generosity is not about what we want from people but what we want for people. Living generously is our loving response to God and his great generosity toward us. In the next few days (if not already) you will be invited to one of your neighbor s homes for some fellowship time, conversation, and information about Zion s future. It is very important for you to attend. We need your questions and insights as we move forward. On Sunday, October 15 our Commitment Sunday each household will be asked to consider its blessings and voluntarily make a response. This is a symbol of our individual and collective witness to Christ s presence in our lives and support of our ministry. We look forward to your participation as we explore our calling to be a generous and servant church. Jesus calls us to be generous Christian disciples because we worship a generous, loving, and mighty God. Pastor Sue Pastoral Acts Pastor Sue officiated at the Marriages of Chris McCain & Brian Stroetz, and Joelle Sommerfedlt & Adam Steiner; and the Baptisms of Wesley Binder and Ellie Ullman. 2 YOUR CHURCH STAFF COUNCIL MEMBERS President: Brenda Castellano V.

3 September 2017 Highlights Tanzania Steve & Bethany Friberg Naapok Bead Project artisans celebrated their new constitution and registration as a Community Based Organization. These documents represent important steps in protecting the rights of each member and their property. Since most are illiterate, a community development officer was brought in to guide the group through a series of meetings where all were encouraged to discuss, question, and give input in the writing of the constitution. The Uhuru Torch ( Mwenge ) is one of Tanzania s national icons. It was originally lit on Mt. Kilimajaro at the time of independence in The Mwenge symbolizes freedom, hope, love, respect and unity. Each year, the torch is carried throughout a different region of the country. This month Naapok Bead Project was proud to be chosen as a local organization to receive the Mwenge. We are in the peak of the dry season. Pray the October short rains will bring relief to trees, grasslands, livestock, and people. The work of the church keeps growing because Africans understand their need for God in all aspects of life. Because of a shortage of pastors in Tanzania most small congregations are led by mature Christians who are trained as evangelists to lead services and do outreach under tough conditions. The Holy Spirit blesses their efforts. Our sons started their junior year at University of Minnesota. Nyika is studying biology and Zaka environmental sciences. Our daughter Shalai thoroughly enjoys Rift Valley Academy. We thank God for this mission school. This month Dr. Pedro from Spain is doing plastic, orthopedic, and reconstructive surgery for patients in our area. The patients come with burn scars, bone infections, and limb deformities. He volunteers his services twice a year and gives free service. We are excited to have the next generation of doctors working in the clinics. Thank you for partnering with us in so many different ways. Steve and Bethany Friberg Ketumbeine, Tanzania 10 3

Once a year the members of Zion serve a traditional German meal of sauerkraut, pork hocks, pork roast and potato dumplings. In preparation for the cost of the meal, members are asked to sell tickets, contribute to the cost of the meal, and volunteer in serving the meal. Proceeds from the dinner are placed in a Crisis Fund. Grants for those who experience a crisis (fire, illness, etc.) are taken from the fund and given to non-members living within the Stratford School District OR to members of Zion regardless of where they live. If you would like to know more about the dinner, ask a member of the congregation or call the church office. The dinner began in 1988 and has given many gifts to area people. More information is on the gold Germanfest insert along with 4 tickets to sell, buy, or return to Zion. Worship will be held at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 29th. All Saints Sunday All Saints Sunday will be celebrated at Zion on Sunday, November 5th. As part of the liturgy we will remember those friends and members of Zion who have died in the past year, and those whose names have been submitted by loved ones. You may light a candle in memory of loved ones during the service. Names may be given to the church office by Wednesday, October 25th.
