COVERED!

“All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.”

Galatians 3:27

It was mid-November. His yard looked awful. The grass was brown; it had gone dormant. But even when it was green it hadn’t been very lush. The yard had its share of bare spots. After a hard rain, those bare spots had become puddles of mud. The leaves that had been swirling around his yard for weeks were now bunched up in various piles along the fence. The same swirling wind had also taken all of the debris from the neighborhood and wedged it into the leafless branches of his dying bushes. His yard was an ugly mess; it was an embarrassing sight.

Overnight, however, it snowed. Six inches of beautiful snow now covered that ugly mess. His yard was suddenly beautiful; it actually was a sight to see: picturesque, peaceful. His yard was covered with a uniform layer of glistening brilliance. Rolling mounds of white snow covered the trash in the bushes, the piles of leaves along the fence, the puddles of mud, and the dormant grass. Every tree branch popped in the sun as though someone had traced each limb with a white highlighter. Only he knew what was still underneath that snow—his ugly, brown, dead, trash-filled yard.

My life isn’t beautiful. My life displays the brown grass of a love that all too often goes dormant, the bare spots of my awful failures to help a neighbor in need, and the muddy puddles of doubt and worry that I tend to wallow in. My life is littered with the trash of my hate-filled thoughts, my hurtful words, and my self-absorbed actions that swirl around and eventually pile up on my conscience. The sins I commit day in and day out truly are an embarrassing sight. I can hardly bear to look at them. I shudder to think what God must think when he looks at me.

And yet, what does God see when he looks at me? Not me. Not my sin. But like a blanket of fresh, white snow, he sees only the righteousness of his Son. “All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ” (Galatians 3:27). In Baptism Jesus covered me with his obedience. What does my heavenly Father see when he looks at me, one of his own baptized children? No stain. No wrinkle. No blemish. Despite the sins I commit, robed in Christ, I stand holy and blameless before him (Ephesians 5). With the gentle sprinkling of water in Holy Baptism, God covered all of our sins—he covered all of us—with Christ, by grace and by grace alone.

Pastor Call Letter

Dear Members of St. John’s Lutheran Church,

Yesterday I was contacted by Mr. David Grant,

your Church Council President, who informed

me that you have extended a Divine Call to me

to serve you as pastor. I consider it a great

privilege to serve our Savior as a shepherd of

souls, and am humbled by the trust which your

Call places in me.

Mr. Grant and I spoke for a little while about the

ministry of your congregation. The Lord has

blessed your congregation with many awesome

opportunities to share the gospel of Jesus with

both the members of the congregation, and the

entire community. Praise God for that!

I am grateful for the letter that I have already

received by email. Thank you for sending it out

so quickly. I have read it, and look forward to

prayerfully considering more information that is

given. I give thanks to the Lord for fellow

believers who desire to grow in God’s word,

and reach out to the lost with the saving Gospel

of Jesus.

Over the next several weeks I will prayerfully

consider where the Lord might use me to best

serve Him at this time. I am confident that the

Lord will guide me to His decision so that His

will is done. I look forward to discussing this

call and your ministry with Pastor Maglietto and

other members of your congregation. I will also

discuss this with the members of our

congregation here at St. John’s in Barre Mills.

Please pray for me and my family. Pray that the

Lord would bless this deliberation. I will also

pray for you; that the Lord would continue to

bless your sharing of the gospel.

Sincerely in Christ Jesus,

Andrew C. Schultz

Thanks: A heartfelt thank you to Thrivent Advocacy Committee (TAC) for purchasing the religious books for all of the students as well as their classroom supplies of copy paper, Kleenex, and Clorox wipes.

No School: There is NO school Monday, September 4 (Labor Day).

Thank You to all the groups and individuals who donated money towards the flooring project at school. The new tile looks great.

School Pictures: Student pictures will be taken on Tuesday, Sept 19.

Scrip: Scrip is sold on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings (7:45-8:00 am) and Friday afternoons at 3:00 by the office at school. Scrip is also sold each Sunday morning at church after worship. In an attempt to cut down on our shipping costs, we are going to order the 1st and 3rd Mondays of every month, so please plan accordingly! Once the order is placed, it will still be received 2-3 days later.

Tuition Assistance: Please consider contributing to the Tuition Assistance Fund. This is a supplemental fund available to St. John’s member families who seek assistance paying their children’s school tuition. If you would like to donate to Tuition Assistance, please stop at church or include a donation with your offering. The available total is now $3,734. Thanks for your continuing support or our wonderful school.

The St. John's Childcare had a fantastic summer camp with 32 great kids, 7 dedicated staff workers and numerous fun activities. For our end of the summer service project, we went to SSN - St. Clare Meadows to visit, sing to, and deliver the handmade cards and gifts (Thanks to the Thrivent Action Team Program) to the 103 residents. What a wonderful morning. At Childcare, we believe in teaching the children to love and serve one another. Check out the picture display in the downstairs church hallway.

We are busy getting ready for the school year for the 3K program and Childcare school program. Since the flood, we are revamping some including repainting. Come check out our new look!

A special thanks to the many people who helped during the June flood, including Tom Brooks for getting that plumbing fixed, John Darrow for the tedious clean up, and a special shout out to Dave Parchem and his crew for coming immediately to deal with the four inches across our floor. Although we lost quite a few things, the Lord has blessed us during that trial time and things are back on track.

Blessings--Cindy Allen, Childcare Director

From the Church Library

The Library and You

Do you enjoy books and reading – or DVD’s and viewing – or listening to recordings? We welcome you to be part of the St. John’s Library team. Here’s a chance to offer positive and Christian literature and DVD’s to others. If you would be interested in participating in library decisions and tasks, please speak to anyone who is helping in the library area about your interest, or call Kathie at 356-5911.

Second Thoughts on Living Together

by Matthew Harrison On the subject of living together before marriage, this short pamphlet addresses many often-repeated questions. “Aren’t you making a big deal out of this? Aren’t you being judgmental? Isn’t it a good idea to live together…to see if we are compatible?” Statistics comparing the success of marriages begun as cohabitation and marriages without cohabiting are included. Find this work in St. John’s library under Christian Living.

The Christian Mom’s Idea Book by Ellen Banks Elwell

Moms—would you like a laugh, an idea, an alternate approach to a problem—from another mom? This book feels like a co-hort coming alongside… to confide, to commiserate, and to offer her own child’s reaction in a trying situation. Input from other moms is included too. Author Ellen Elwell is centered on the Bible, her “plumb-line to the truth”.

Here’s the Church / Here’s the Steeple by Jan and Mike Berenstain

The Berenstain Bears discover what goes on in church and Sunday School in this short lift-the-flap book. This is for toddlers and preschoolers who enjoy listening and doing. It’s in the children’s area of St. John’s library.

Sunday Morning Bible Study – This group meets Sundays in the church sanctuary. Our new study, Reformation: Grace, Faith, Scripture, presents 12 important biblical principles that are still important to us and all Bible-believing Christians today. To be a Lutheran Christian means to base our teaching and practice on the Bible alone. Join us as we explore these important and enduring truths.

Men’s Bible Study – The Men’s group meets on Saturdays at 7:30 am in the church Fellowship Hall. Coffee and breakfast are served and the discussion flows freely. This fall we’ll continue to study of the new book Grace Abounds: The Splendor of Christian Doctrine written by Professor Daniel Deutschlander. Bible Book Study – We study different books of the Bible during the year, meeting the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the church library. We’re currently studying the book of Hebrews. Join us anytime it fits your schedule whether or not you can come every time.

Oak Park Bible Study – Adult Christ Light lessons (familiar Bible stories) are taught Wednesdays at Oak Park Place at 6:00 p.m. Interactive Faith, an online Bible Study series.

Professor Joel Otto from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary will lead a study entitled “Luther’s Lasting Impact.” The study will be streamed live twice every Wednesday night between October 4 and October 8 at 6 pm and 8 pm. If you’d like to gather with others at St. John’s to participate in this study, meet from 6:00-7:00 p.m. beginning Wednesday October 4 in St. John’s Library for this live streamed event.

New Tax-wise Way to Support the Lord’s Work

As of 2016, anyone 70.5 years or older has a new option for making gifts to the Lord’s work at church, a local WELS-affiliat ed ministry and/or a WELS area of ministry - your IRA! Typically, IRA distributions are taxable and by increasing your taxable income, they may reduce certain tax deductions and personal exemptions you might claim and may increase the tax on your Social Security income or even increase your Medicare premium. But, at the end of 2015, Congress made permanent the opportunity know as the IRA charitable rollover where direct transfers from an IRA to charity are free from federal and potentially state income tax. If you generally do not itemize your deductions, a direct transfer to a WELS ministry may be especially appealing because you will still receive tax benefits for your generosity. If you do not need the required minimum distributions that you receive from your IRA, consider directing those to WELS to save on taxes, and then use the cash you would have given to charity for other needs. Under the new law you and your spouse (assuming he or she is 70.5 years or older and has an IRA) may each make direct transfer of us to $100,000 per year to charity. Direct transfers to charity are wholly excluded from your taxable income so they do not have any adverse effect on other tax benefits you might enjoy. These transfers do not generate a charitable deduction, but the relief from tax impact is often more advantageous. How do you make a direct transfer of IRA assets? You will need to contact the investment firm that handles your IRA to request a direct transfer to a particular WELS ministry., To ensure that your IRA transfer is not taxable, the check must be made payable to the charity, not to you personally.

Dear members of St. John’s, Words cannot express the relief it has been to be removed of the heavy burden of paying for all of my college fees here at MLC. I deeply appreciate the blessing of the Congregation Partner Scholarship you have given me, and the matched portion from MLC. It has helped me considerably. Thank you so much!

Many Blessings, Abby Bartel
