May 2017 Newsletter - St. Peter Lutheran Church

Dear friends in Christ,
One of the great joys of
serving at St. Peter’s is the way
in which you support and
embrace our youth.
I firmly
believe that our youth represent
not just the future of the church, but the present.
Youth are part of the church right now,
and you have embraced this in many ways: by
welcoming their participation and leadership in
worship; by supporting the Youth Event
Scholarship (YES) fund and Community
Education Fund; by funding a Youth and Family
Life Ministries staff position; by attending the
Sunday School Christmas program on an icy
Saturday evening in December; by purchasing
artwork that lined the hallway to support
Together We Rise; by serving as a prayer
sponsor; and by attending the annual Sunday
School breakfast.
It is a joy watching our youth flourish
here. Our Confirmation youth planned and led
four of our midweek Lenten services. One of
our youth, Carter Stevens, organized a movie
night to support Kids Coalition Against Hunger.
Over forty youth participated in the Christmas
Program. Youth are attending council meetings
to share their ministry experiences.
This month we have additional
opportunities to support and embrace our youth.
We will collect a special offering to rent a vehicle
to transport twelve youth to Stony Lake Camp.
We will celebrate with five of our youth as they
affirm their baptism. We will conclude another
year of Sunday School.
At St. Peter’s, our mission is “Welcoming
all to know and love Jesus.” You do more than
welcome our youth – you support them,
embrace them, and love them. Thank you!
Peace,
Pastor Ken
Here I Stand
Beyond Saxony
[This is the fifth of a series of
newsletter articles about the life of
Martin Luther, as we join with the church in
commemorating the 500th anniversary of the Protestant
Reformation.]
For the remainder of this series, the term
“evangelical movement” will be used to refer to those
who were part of Luther’s reform movement. Luther
preferred “evangelical”, over “Lutheran”. The term
“evangelical” referred to the evangel, a term used for
the gospel. The evangelicals claimed that the
church had long lost the gospel message.
Concerned about the course of events in
Wittenberg, Martin Luther left Wartburg Castle and
returned there on March 6, 1522. He used his
preaching to further define the evangelical
movement. After returning to Wittenberg, Luther
continued to develop his ideas on a wide range of
subjects, especially the authority of Scripture.
Luther also became more aware of issues in
the larger world. He made an impact far away from
Germany when he waged pamphlet warfare with
England’s King Henry VIII. He expressed regret at
two men burned at the stake in Brussels for testing
the boundaries of the church and proclaiming the
truth of the gospel.
Luther also began to deal with practical
matters of church and state. He was concerned with
how to organize evangelical parishes, as well as a
system of oversight. Luther also developed a
distinction between church and civil authorities. He
even addressed military dilemmas.
A revolt broke out in 1524 that lasted until
1525, and became known as the Peasants’ War.
The peasants were protesting against the power of
princes and unjust taxes, including church revenues.
They felt that Luther, who was critical of church
policies, would have defended their cause.
However, Luther was more concerned with authority
and order, and he condemned the revolt. Some
authorities believed Luther was now trying
unsuccessfully to restrain revolutionary forces that
he had helped unleash.
Trivia Question:
Martin Luther’s protector, Frederick the Wise, died
on May 2, 1525. Frederick’s brother became the
new elector. What was his name?
A.) John the Steadfast
C.) Alexander the Great
B.) Philip the Magnificent D.) Charles the Humble
[Answer found on page 4 of the newsletter.]

We are looking for some new
softball players or old little league
players to join our team and play
in our church slow pitch softball
league this season. There will
be 8-10 games, a few practices and lots of fun!
There is a signup sheet in the lobby.
During the month of May
is when St Peter's serves
at the Food Pantry. If you
would like to join our team
and are able to donate a
few hours of your time on a Tuesday or
Thursday during May, we could use your help.
We work from 4 pm until approximately 7 pm.
We schedule our team workers so that everyone
has an opportunity to serve. It is an easy job but
it is so rewarding. We fill food bags and assist
families to receive their monthly allotment.
Please contact Joanne at 810-329-4953 or cell
810-434-1481 if you would like to help at the
Food Pantry.
Our Fellowship/Outreach committee is looking
to start a "lunch and/or dinner gathering for
ladies" to meet at local area restaurants to
socialize. If you are interested in participating,
please contact any member on our committee.
As many of you may have
noticed, I have been wearing a
funny brown robe that makes me
look a lot like a monk. I wear this
because I am sort of like a monk.
I am a Lutheran Franciscan
Friar, yes this is a real thing. I am
a Novice in the
Order of Lutheran Franciscans.
We are a group of Lutherans who follow the simple
path of St. Francis of Assisi by standing with the poor
and marginalized and seeking to live out the Gospel.
To elaborate on the difference between Monks and
Friars, Monks are called away from the world to live
a more solitary life in monasteries, where Friars are
called to be a part of the world and not recess away.
Not all of the members of the Order are Pastors or
feel called to be a Pastor, some simply feel called to
live their regular lives with a more religious tone. I
know that this may not have answered your
questions and may have sparked more, I do invite
you to please ask me any and all questions you have
and I will be happy to answer them. We also have a
website that is a great place to also try and answer
your questions: www.lutheranfranciscans.org.
Thank you very much for all of your support.
Pax et Bonum (Peace and all Good),
Brother Ian Boden
The choir will be taking a
vacation until September.
Thank you to everyone
who sang with us during
the year, for sharing your
musical
talents
and
faithfully
attending
rehearsals:
Tom
Latowski, Ted Anderson, Charles Butler, Ian
Boden, Pastor Ken, Chris Ritter, Norene
Stoecker, Marilyn Tackaberry, Sue Daniels,
Katy Emerich, Adelle Schwan, Nancy Latowski,
Joanne Niederhauser, Johanne Bodany, Gwen
Anderson, Chris Jebrael, Janet Allington, Ruby
Nieman and Lucy VanSingel.
We are blessed to have choir members who
support the tradition of Lutherans singing
throughout history. During the Reformation,
Luther broke with Catholic tradition when he
encouraged members to participate in worship,
especially with singing. When he revised the
Catholic mass for use in his churhes, the
services were jammed full of music, which were
sung as a response to the grace of God. He
insisted that all the people sing, not just the
clergy and choirs. As we worship, our choir not
only offers anthems in praise to God, but leads
the congregational singing and assists in
learning new hymns and liturgy. Thank you to
all our faithful singers!
We are always looking for new voices to join us.
If you can attend an hour-long weekly rehearsal,
and sing with us on a few Sundays per month,
we would love to have you join us. No musical
background is necessary and you can join
anytime. Rehearsals are focused but fun.
Anyone young or not-so-young is welcomed.
Contact Renee Evans or any choir member for
more information. Let’s continue the tradition of
Lutheran voices raised in praises to God!
Due to vacations and
holidays, chime season is
over until fall. Thanks to
the dedicated chimers
who use God's gift for worship. They are: Sue
Danielson, Stephanie Neiman, Ruby Neiman,
Lauren Kramp, Nancy Green, Molly Furtah,
Elizabeth Gizowski, and Katy Emerich.

-
-
have been resolved but there were three exit lights or
emergency lights that are not working correctly. Del
will resolve these issues when he returns from
vacation. Batteries have been replaced in 15 units
but the unit itself may need to be replaced in the
remaining three. Other issues resolved include:
storage items must be 24 inches from the ceiling.
Nothing should be stored within 30 inches of
electrical panels and no flammables like paint stored
in the electrical room.
There is a wheelchair in the basement. A decision
needed to be made to either sell at Attic Angels or
donate it. Mark Fisher will contact Attic Angels to see
if they will put it in the sale.
The old Christmas tree will be donated to Habitat to
Humanity. Ian will take care of it once the boxes have

boxed. The boxes are now in the southeast closet.
Flush valves may need to be replaced in the men’s
room.

up a table for people to take.
Appreciation was given to all who give of
