SEPTEMBER 2014

If We Could, We Would

The ostrich is known for putting her head in the sand. When she does, she cannot see what is around her. She gives the appearance of wanting to escape the troubles of the world.

“Ignorance is bliss”, or is it?

With all the bad news that is being delivered to our senses on a high speed conveyor belt by the media, the ostrich offers a viable solution!

It would be easier to bury our heads in the sand and make the world go away. Or like the lyric to the song “Stop the world and let me off.” We cannot do that. We are in this world.

The world news has been dark and scary lately: Riots in Missouri; not knowing how his story would end, a laughable comedian ended his story; Christians in Iraq and Syria being herded like pigs, or worse, slaughtered like them; the rise to power of another evil empire [ISIS]; the merciless murder of an innocent man on the world stage [Journalist, James Foley]; an outbreak of a deadly virus, Ebola.

There is more, and there always will be more, until the Savior returns.

We can rejoice that we are still shocked by things in the news. “When will it get better?” or “When

will the suffering end?” many ask.

Suffering is everywhere and is occurring in the lives of everyone you know and see. Recall that Latin word, “Tentatio”, and its German counterpart, “Anfechtung”. Those words describe sorrow and suffering, hardship, trials and temptations. They call for endurance, calm, a fortress-like faith, perseverance and spiritual armor.

But can’t we just be like the Ostrich? Not for very long. We are in this world. But we are not of this world. We are passing through, we are foreigners, pilgrims. The old timers would advise us to see our homes as motels and inns, and our belongings as loans from above to both enjoy and, in the end, willingly give back.

Did you ever consider praying for the end of the world? That is spoken of in the last book of the Bible. Here St. John is speaking about that, “He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus”. - Revelation 22:20. And we pray for His coming when we pray the Lord’s Prayer, “Thy Kingdom come<”

While we are here, we shine His light through us, to the world around us< Matthew 5:14-15: "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp (continued on page 2)

Our Saviour’s Voice

(continued from page 1) and put it under a basket, but on the lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.<”

Once when at a business something humorous came up with an employee there. I said, “We

might as well have a good time while we are down here!” By “down here”, I meant on earth. The other fellow was not on my frequency

and replied, “Are you from the U.P.?”

We are down here to be points of Light. We live for Him, looking forward to the world which is to

come, all the while shining His Light where we live and work, to our loved ones and neighbors. Who in your story needs encouragement? Who in your story is lonely? Who in your story could use a meal? Who in your story could use a box of food or some assistance with new clothes.

By the way, do ostriches actually bury their heads in the sand? We interviewed one and she told us< “We ostriches don't bury our heads in the sand—we wouldn't be able to breathe! But we do dig holes in the dirt to use as nests for our eggs. Several times a day, we put our heads in the hole and turn our eggs. So it looks like we are burying our heads in the sand!”

SUNDAY SCHOOL NEEDS YOU!!SUNDAY SCHOOL NEEDS YOU!!SUNDAY SCHOOL NEEDS YOU!!SUNDAY SCHOOL NEEDS YOU!!

The Sunday School program needs teachers and helpers this year. If you enjoy kids and

are up for a rewarding experience, consider volunteering. No experience is required, and

the supplies are provided for you. For more information or to volunteer, please contact

Heidi Krause at 920-265-1082 or email [email protected]

What is a hearing loop? How does it work? Hearing Loops allow people who wear hearing aids to directly receive the sound

from the church’s PA system in their own hearing aids, without having to pick up a

separate listening device, by switching to a T-coil or telecoil program.

Digital hearing aids have significantly improved in the last decade, but they

do not restore hearing to normal. Difficulties often remain when in challenging

listening situations. Hearing loops help hearing aid users overcome this problem by

broadcasting sound, without background noise or reverberation, directly into the hearing aid. In

order to hear in the loop, a user has to activate this program by pushing on a button on the

instrument or a remote control.

Hearing loops have been in widespread use in public venues and churches in England and

the Scandinavian countries for some time, and are now starting to catch on in the United States.

Our Saviour now has a hearing loop in the Sanctuary. To find out which OTHER venues offer

loops in the Fox Valley & Wisconsin, visit: www.loopwisconsin.com

How do I know if I have T-coils in my hearing aids? If you wear hearing aids, you will need to find out if you have this wireless telecoil or T-coil receiver

in your hearing aids (most do, although that feature is not always turned on.) The telecoil program

is sometimes called the telephone program. If there is a push button on your instrument, it is likely

the telecoil program is an option but it may not have been activated by your audiologist. Please contact your hearing aid provider to find out if your instruments have telecoils and to have them

activated or contact hearing loop advocate Dr. Juliette Sterkens at [email protected].

FALL RALLY HIGHLIGHTSFALL RALLY HIGHLIGHTSFALL RALLY HIGHLIGHTSFALL RALLY HIGHLIGHTS OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVEOPPORTUNITIES TO SERVEOPPORTUNITIES TO SERVEOPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE This year’s Fall Rally will be held in the gym on

Sunday, September 14. There will be NO

10:45am service that day. This event begins

after the 7:45am service and will run until

approximately 12:30pm.

Various boards, committees and groups will

provide information on how you can volunteer

to use your time and talents to serve God’s

people. Take this opportunity to find out what

your brothers and sisters are doing to help

those less fortunate, how you can add your

talent to a ministry that spreads the Gospel, and

in what direction the Lord may be leading you!

There will also be an opportunity to ‘Meet the

Author’ and have your copy of ‘Lydia Believes’

personally signed for you.

Registration forms for Sunday school and

Confirmation will be available as well.

Confirmation classes begin on Wednesday,

September 17 at 6pm; Sunday school begins on

September 21 and will be held during the

9:15am service.

The Fall Rally also includes…what else? A

potluck lunch, of course! Bring a dish to pass

and enjoy the fellowship of other members of

Our Saviour.

VVVVeteran’s Heteran’s Heteran’s Heteran’s Homeomeomeome VisitVisitVisitVisit Thank you to Thrivent Financial, Y100 and our

congregation. The August 4 bus trip to the

Veteran’s Home in King, WI was sponsored by

Thrivent Financial and included a delicious

lunch for the visitors. We, along with other

Lutheran congregations and veterans groups,

collected donations. Bear and Charli from Y100

organized a 2-hour drop off for their listeners

to contribute, which resulted in a van load of

donations and monetary gifts.

The shelves at King were EMPTY when we

arrived and the staff and volunteers who

received our gifts thanked us with smiles and

hugs. We were assured that our donations

were very welcome and would most assuredly

be enjoyed by the residents.

The volunteers enjoyed an informative history

of the facility as well as tours. A huge storm

caused a power outage so the volunteers were

not able to play Bingo or serve ice cream at the

Coast Guard Anniversary party, but we did visit

with the veterans as we toured and shopped in

the gift shop. After a bus ride through the

cemetery, we left for home knowing we had

made a difference that day.

ACTIVITY ABOUNDS AT OUR SAVIOUR

Wow, when Summer ends, you can see the building at 120 S. Henry Street come alive on more than just Sunday mornings!

Classes for Green Bay Trinity Lutheran School began in late August with 87 students in grades K-8. About 24 part-time and full-time 3- and 4-year-olds will fill the preschool room

beginning in the first week in September. Seventh and eighth grade Confirmation students will arrive for evening classes on September 17. Sunday school classrooms will bustle with our children ready to learn about Jesus when classes resume on September 21.

So, with all of these activities for our children, what are the adults to do? Well, let me tell you… there’s plenty!

Choir practice starts up again on September 7. Sessions begin at 7pm. Just come to the Sanctuary and be ready to sing to the Lord. The Fish Fry returns September 12 and will repeat on the 2nd Friday of each month throughout the school year. Volunteers are needed on the Thursday preceding the Friday for prep as well as the Friday night for cooking, prepping and serving. Contact Tim Richter ([email protected]) to find out about this great fellowship opportunity. Volunteers can include those in 6th grade and up. Workers receive discounted food; youth receive a portion of the tips received for their OSLC youth account.

What else happens in Fall? The Packer season begins, of course! Our Saviour sells food and beverages at a concession stand in the Club seat section of Lambeau Field for all home games. Workers (20-25) are needed for every game. Jobs include set up, front counter, runner, food prep and clean up. You are welcome to work just one game or as many as fit into your schedule. All volunteers must participate in online training and testing. Packets of information on how to complete

these requirements are on the Welcome Center. Testing must be completed at least 72 hours prior to working an event so please plan accordingly. Contact the church office or Neil Burmeister (866-9088 or [email protected]) for more information.

Sunday school teachers and assistants are needed. Please contact Heidi at [email protected].

With the new Confirmation schedule comes IMPACT, a new program for youth and their parents held on the first Wednesday of the month from 7-8pm. More information is available from Pastor Greg.

Chicks with Stix usually meet the 2nd Monday of the month. There are many projects to work on including pillowcase dresses, wheelchair bags, prayer shawls, Haiti dolls, winter accessories (hats, mittens, scarves) and more. Sewing, knitting and crocheting are the means to complete these projects. Lessons are available so even the new learner is welcome. Start with the meeting on September 8 at 1pm or contact Caroline Arndt at 469-3140.

Last but not least, the many boards and committees at Our Saviour would welcome you into their missions. Find out so much more about the opportunities listed above and many others by attending the Fall Rally on September 14. Whatever interests or skills you have, there is something available for anyone willing to serve.

Green Bay Lutheran School Association Update The Green Bay Lutheran School Association (or GBLSA) is a name you may have heard mentioned many times at church, especially in the last month. As a result perhaps you may be asking “Who is the Green Bay Lutheran School Association?” The Green Bay Lutheran School Association is a group of LCMS congregations in the greater Green Bay area. The congregations in the Association are Christ of the Bay, Faith, Hope, Our Saviour, and Redeemer. GBLSA maintains a 501(c)(3) status, is a Recognized Service Organization of the LCMS, and is legally incorporated under Chapter 181 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The purpose of the Association, per the Articles of Incorporation, “is to own, control, operate, manage, and maintain one or more Lutheran Elementary and Middle School as conditions warrant or demand, in Brown County, Wisconsin or any county immediately adjacent thereto.” Currently GBLSA operates one K–8 elementary school, Green Bay Trinity Lutheran, located on the campus of Our Saviour on Green Bay’s east side. So you may be asking “Why operate a Lutheran School?” There are a number of reasons for operating a Lutheran school. As pointed out on the Lutheran School Portal (www.luthed.org), one of those reasons is:

To Demonstrate the High Value the Congregation Places on Children Operating a Lutheran school requires “a considerable investment of prayers, energy, money and staff.” This commitment by members of the congregations of the GBLSA shows the greater Green Bay community that we place a high value on “God’s beloved little ones.” Perhaps you are asking “How can I help support GBLSA and Green Bay Trinity?” In addition to prayer, two ways that you can provide support are by volunteering and contributing financially. Volunteers are valued for the difference they make in the lives of our students! There are many opportunities available to provide your time and talents in a variety of activities benefitting both the GBLSA and OUR school, Green Bay Trinity. These opportunities include: recess monitors, hot lunch helpers, classroom helpers, and helping at Eagle athletic events. In addition, volunteers are needed to make events such as Donuts for Dads, Muffins for Moms, the Taste of Trinity in February and a new event this year - Summer’s Last Blast picnic on September 20 - fun and successful. If you are willing volunteer, please visit the Contact Us page at http://greenbaytrinity.org or call (920) 655-4673. Providing a high quality educational experience for students at Green Bay Trinity and continuing to implement the ministry plan of the GBLSA of serving those in the greater Green Bay area that need to hear the wonderful news of Christ-crucified requires a considerable financial investment. The current funding model for the GBLSA is divided into three areas: student tuition payments, Association church tuition payments and fundraising. Key fundraisers that take place each year are Annual Appeal, Taste of Trinity and another new event this year - Date Night on the River being held on September 13. The Board of Directors is continually reviewing ways to expand our fundraising efforts. If you would like to donate financially to GBLSA and Green Bay Trinity, please visit the Donate Now page at http://greenbaytrinity.org.

(GBLSA update continued on page 6)

Page 7: 201409 voice  for w eb

7

(GLBLSA update continued from page 5) Another question you may be asking is “How is each congregation represented in the Association?” Each congregation in the Association is offered representation on a Board of Directors. The number of representatives from each congregation has traditionally been based on a proportionate percentage of students enrolled at Green Bay Trinity from each congregation. The congregations choose their representatives each according to their individual congregation policy. Each member of the Board of Directors serves for a term of three years and/or until their successor has been appointed. A member may be elected to two terms consecutively, at the annual meeting. At the annual meeting, the Board elects four officers: President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary. And you may be asking “Who is currently on the Board of Directors?” Current members are:

• President – Brad Van Lanen – Redeemer

• Vice-President – Deb Grothman – Christ of the Bay

• Treasurer – Christel Laastch – Redeemer

• Secretary – Leslie Pierce – Christ of the Bay

• Director – Dennis Day – Hope

• Director – Rev. Greg Hovland – Our Saviour

• Director – Karen Mielke – Faith

• Principal - Brett Jones – Green Bay Trinity

At this time Faith, Hope and Our Saviour have open positions on the Board of Directors. Finally you may be asking, “When does the GBLSA Board meet?” The regular meeting of the Board of Directors is on the 4th Monday of each month at 6:30 pm at Green Bay Trinity. If you would like to address the Board at a monthly meeting, please contact myself or Green Bay Trinity Principal Brett Jones to be placed on the agenda. God’s Blessings! Brad Van Lanen GBLSA President [email protected]

LITERACY GREEN BAY SEEKS VOLUNTEERSLITERACY GREEN BAY SEEKS VOLUNTEERSLITERACY GREEN BAY SEEKS VOLUNTEERSLITERACY GREEN BAY SEEKS VOLUNTEERS Literacy Green Bay is a not-for-profit organization that provides free literacy services to adults with

limited basic reading skills and/or limited oral English skills. We recruit and train volunteers to become

goal (such as studying for citizenship, looking for employment, or working toward a GED).

We need volunteers who are compassionate, patient, enthusiastic about reading, and who want to make a

difference in someone’s life. Literacy Green Bay provides training workshops for volunteers to become

certified ProLiteracy tutors. Attend a one-hour orientation to find out more about tutoring and to register

for a training workshop. The orientation meeting on September 17 (10am or 6:30pm) will be held at the
