In the Lutheran tradition, nearly everything about the particular techniques of worship we practice is a matter of indifference. It is imperative that the Word is faithfully proclaimed and the Sacraments (Holy Communion and Holy Baptism) are rightly administered. But there are many ways to do these things correctly. For example, we may use bread or wafers in Communion. In Baptism, we may use a lot of water even immersion or a little. We may read the Gospel out of a book at the pulpit, or take the book to the center aisle and read in the midst of the congregation, or we may proclaim one or more of the readings from memory. We may preach sermons that feature dialogue, stories, or three points and a poem. For the past few months, I have sometimes memorized the Gospel and proclaimed it without a book. Here in the Pen, I thought it would be useful to explain my thinking on this difference in worship. (cont d) 1

THE PASTOR S PEN (cont d) By the Book When the readers use a book either the Bible or a book containing all the lessons we read in worship we are making it clear that these words are not off the top of our heads: we stand in a tradition that has passed along The Word of the Lord for centuries. The canon of Scripture is a gift to the people of God. The book reminds us that we stand in a long line of people for whom these words have provided inspiration and guidance. When I was in seminary, my teachers were so invested in the symbolism of the book as the medium of God s Word that we were taught not to make eye contact with the congregation while reading. Our eyes were to be on the book, and in this way, we would direct everyone s eyes to the book as well. (Back then, churches rarely copied the texts into their bulletins.) By Heart In the last generation or so, the consensus about the centrality of the book for the readings in liturgy has been challenged. I was late to the party myself, but over the last 18 months or so, conversations about how worship works for people here convinced me to try proclaiming the gospel from memory. The downside to working from memory is that mistakes can be made: the proclaimer can leave out verses or get things out of order. The upside is that the Gospel seems less like an ancient artifact and more like a living Word. As you listen, you hear someone telling a story or enacting a discussion from Scripture. We do not have our heads buried in individual bulletins but are sharing a corporate experience of the Word. This, at least, is what I m hoping for as I prepare to proclaim from memory each week. As a side note, I m sure that spending as much time with the texts as it takes to speak them by heart helps the preparation of a sermon. (cont d) 2

THE PASTOR S PEN (cont d) But the main reason for working with the texts in this way is to enliven them for worship. We will still use the book for some of the readings each week, and sometimes for the Gospel, but I do intend to continue working at the skill of proclaiming the Gospel from memory and sharing it in worship regularly.

STEWARDSHIP REFUGEE SUNDAY Good Shepherd will recognize Refugee Sunday on June 21 st in worship. This is an opportunity to celebrate the good work that Good Shepherd supports, as some of the money donated to ELCA s World Hunger appeal is shared with Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (LIRS). It is also a time to reflect on the courageous and often perilous journeys made by refugees, and to celebrate the power of God s love to transform people s lives. LIRS began in 1939 to assist people adversely affected by World War II. In partnership with Lutheran congregations and Lutheran social ministry organizations, LIRS has assisted more than 500,000 refugees. Today, for the first time since World War II, there are more than 50 million refugees in the world. The work of the ELCA through LIRS includes responding to people caught in conflict and facing persecution, advocating for their needs and interests, helping people access resources for basic human needs, working with foster care programs for minors and legal assistance. This ongoing partnership and work is driven by God s love for all people and a vision for congregations to be welcoming and generous centers for mission and ministry. To learn more, visit lirs.org or elca.org. 5

THE RIMMERS You may recall that Pastor Chad and Natalie Rimmer, along with their children Paul Michael and Luke, are the missionary family in Senegal that Good Shepherd began sponsoring this year. Natalie and their children returned to North Carolina last year so Natalie could undergo treatment for cancer. During this time, Pastor Chad continued his work in Senegal. Natalie finished her treatment for cancer in early April, and the family hopes to return to Senegal sometime during the summer. Pastor Mary met Pastor Chad in person while at the NC Synod Assembly. He and his family may be able to visit Good Shepherd before they return to Senegal. If not, they will plan to visit us in the summer of 2016. MISSION ENDOWMENT FUND GRANTS In April, The Mission Endowment Fund Committee proposed and the Church Council approved the following grants to organizations in our community: $3,000 to Transylvania Christian Ministry/Sharing House for cooking classes $2,000 to Meals on Wheels of Brevard $2,000 to The Haven of Transylvania County FOOD FOR THE HAVEN People from Good Shepherd make food for the residents of The Haven two weekends out of the year. Our first weekend in 2015 is about to take place: May 29 th to the 31 st. Thank you to all who helped with the planning, making and delivering of this food, enough to feed 18 people two breakfasts and two dinners. Good Shepherd s next weekend to prepare food for The Haven will be July 31 st to August 2 nd. If you would like to help, please contact Annette Blum (blumay1@gmail.com or 885-2376). Thank you. 6

ELCA MISSION SUPPORT Disaster Response is one of the ministry areas supported by our benevolence giving to the churchwide ELCA. The following article is by Megan Brandsrud, and was posted on the ELCA website on March 6, 2015. Honduras: Support for Returning Child Migrants The Honduran government declared a national state of emergency upon the recent mass return of Hondurans, specifically children, who are being sent back from Mexico and the United States. The assistance of several civil society and humanitarian organizations has been requested to provide accompaniment during the reception of the returning children. Lutheran Disaster Response is working with Mennonite Social Action Commission (CASM) to help provide humanitarian assistance to 1,000 returning child migrants. Immediate attention will be given to helping the children reunite with their families and to accompany them through the legal process of filing complaints in cases that involve human trafficking, sex trafficking and physical and psychological violence. Food and hygiene kits will be distributed to children as they are received and while they stay in temporary shelters waiting to be reunited with family. Psychosocial support will also be provided, and special accompaniment will occur for cases that merit extra attention. Each child s well-being is the primary concern, and necessary support will be provided to ensure a safe reunion for the children and their families. NC MISSION SUPPORT Part of your offering to Good Shepherd is shared with the NC Synod. One of the ways this money is used is to provide a place apart where children, youth, and adults can take time to feel the presence of Christ in their lives : Novus Way - Lutheridge, Lutherock, and Lutheranch Agape + Kure Beach Ministries 7

YOUTH NEWS SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL This summer, all our children and youth will be together in one Sunday School class. We will deviate from our typical lectionary-based lessons during the summer. Instead, we will focus on learning about The Lord s Prayer and the ELCA youth-oriented awareness and fundraising campaign, Walk for Water. The class will also participate in music, make art and craft projects, and will take behind-the-scenes tours of Good Shepherd. We also hope to take field trips to some local fun places together. All are welcome. Please join us! FUMC S M.A.D. CAMP Children and youth, ages 5 years old and up, are invited to participate in First United Methodist Church s Vacation Bible School, known as Music, Art, Drama (or M.A.D.) Camp, which will take place the week of June 22 nd to 26 th. The hours of the camp are 9:00 a.m. to noon each day. The camp is geared toward the participants acting out a Bible story for the community at the end of the week. During the camp, the kids will help make sets, props and costumes, and will learn dialogue and songs to help make the story come to life. Some of Good Shepherd s children and youth have participated in the camp in other years and really enjoyed the experience. For more information or to sign up for the camp, please call FUMC at 883-9025. BRIGHTON MCCONNELL S GRADUATION On Friday, June 12 th, Brighton McConnell will graduate from Brevard High School.

MAY COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS The meeting was called to order on Tuesday, May 19 th at 4:00 p.m. by President Tom Reinke. Pastor Mary led us in opening prayer. The April minutes were approved. Treasurer, Ed Hennig reported our income was over the budget and our expenses were below the budget for April. In the Pastor s Report, Pastor Mary said worship attendance was down slightly. A small group supporting families with members serving in the military is being considered. Old Business: Strategic Planning Committee for Objective #1, fostering depth, proposed starting a small group ministry to rekindle the community experiences we had in small groups working on the strategic plan but with a new focus. Pastor Mary will take this proposal to the concerned standing committees to refine this plan. Objective #2, equipping ourselves to serve those in need, has drafted guiding principles and strategies for wider discussion. A survey will be done to discover where our members are currently volunteering with local charities. Objective #3, redirecting resources to expand our ministry, is evaluating three consultants who could assess and guide our work toward mortgage elimination. The LCGS Scholarship application form created by the Education Committee was approved. In addition to Consecration Sunday on October 25 th and the Annual Congregational Meeting on November 15 th to elect Council members, there will a congregational budget meeting on January 24 th, 2016. This will give the Finance & Stewardship Committees time to finalize the budget after all the pledges are in. (cont d) 10

MAY COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS (cont d) New Business: The North Carolina Quilters request to use our Fellowship Hall on December 10 th was approved. A decision regarding inviting Betsy Dailey to give a presentation about the Good Shepherd Crèche in India was deferred to be a topic for Strategic Objective #2 discussions, as we try to discern which charities we will work with as a congregation to serve those in need. The June & July council meetings will be held at 10:00 am instead of 4:00 pm. The meeting was adjourned at 5:45 p.m. with the Lord s Prayer. WEEKLY PRAYER CARDS To have someone s name added to the prayer card, please contact Pastor Mary or Kimberly Dunbar in the church office, by phone or email, to make this request. Names on the prayer card will be removed after two weeks, unless otherwise requested. CHURCH OFFICE HOURS Beginning June 1 st, the church office will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. MAGICIAN CHAPTER Do you like magic?

If you would like to participate in such an effort, please place a note indicating this, along with your contact information, in Sharon Bach s mailbox. Thank you. 11

STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE Objective #l: Foster spiritual depth/belonging This implementation team has developed a proposal for small group worship. The proposal is currently being shared with the Worship and Music, Education, and Fellowship Committees for their review and suggestions. In June, the finalized proposal will go to Council for discussion and vote. Anyone wishing more information about the plan may contact Pastor Mary or another member of the implementation team. Objective #2: Equipping ourselves to serve those in need The recent Sunday School class studying Robert Lupton s book, Toxic Charity, and supporting materials on poverty in western North Carolina has drawn up a list of suggested guidelines for those planning charitable activities. Guiding Principles Instead of doing for people what they can/should do for themselves, work with people to empower them to move towards greater selfsufficiency. Recognize we need to be in for the long haul; avoid attempting quick fixes and accept that we will not reach everyone. Build genuine relationships with the people we wish to serve; solicit invitations and input from the target community. From the outset, identify clear objectives and means of evaluating the effectiveness of our ministries. Strategies Due diligence research organizations and project models before committing. Differentiate crisis from chronic need; transition from crisis assistance to enhanced self-sufficiency/community development as quickly as possible. (cont d) 12

STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE (cont d) Advocate for change in the political/economic system that addresses the issue of chronic poverty. Do an initial impact study to discover and account for unanticipated consequences of a proposed ministry. Work from an asset-based perspective rather than a deficit perspective and involve leadership from within the target community. Focus on only one or two new ministries while continuing to support successful ministries already in place. Don t confuse the level of volunteer activity with the level of project success. Questions or comments about these suggestions may be addressed to Kathleen Milligan or any member of the Sunday School class she led. Objective #3: Redirect resources for expanded ministry (explore the feasibility of paying off the mortgage so that resources can be redirected for ministry) This implementation team has interviewed several recommended and vetted professionals in the field of fund-raising, and a decision on choosing one to assist with the project is near. Once an agreement is reached and approved by Council, an early step will likely be a feasibility study to determine the congregation s support for the objective. Questions or comments about Objective #3 may be addressed to Ed Hennig or any member of the implementation team. NAME TAGS & MAILBOXES If you would like a name tag or church mailbox but don t have one, please let Kimberly Dunbar in the church office know. Thank you. 13

CONGRATULATIONS, LEIGH ANN! Our own Leigh Ann Stinson, of Chameleon Catering & Mobile Food Company, participated in the Fourth Annual Taste of Transylvania in May, and won for best entrée. Here s what tasteoftransylvania.org said: The scales tipped to Shrimp and Grits, served by a newcomer to Taste 2015, Chameleon Catering & Mobile Food Comapny. Some strong finishers challenged, but this was clearly ahead of the pack. This fundraiser featured 14 local restaurants and caterers, and is arranged by the Transylvania County Schools Educational Foundation (TCSEF), to support innovative programs in Transylvania County Schools (TCS). All funds raised at the event support the TCSEF Mini- Grant program, which is a competitive process awarding $15,000 annually to classroom and enrichment projects proposed by teachers and staff from all nine TCS schools. I WONDER WHY... Do you have questions about Good Shepherd? Maybe you ve been curious about the liturgy used during worship services, or about who decides what is taught during Sunday school. Or maybe you wonder why the baptismal fount is in the middle of the Commons or who designed the stained glass windows in the Sanctuary. No question is too small; we will answer them in the monthly newsletters. Please contact the church office (883-3680 or lcgs@ comporium.net) to ask a question. Chances are good that you aren t the only one wondering why. Thank you!
