THE SEASON IS UPON US:

Even with the exceptional weather that we have

had in the past few days, vegetation all around us is

starting to beam in autumn colors. Temperatures

are starting to fall and the daylight hours are

becoming shorter. It’s inevitable and unavoidable to

understand that the season is changing. From the

warmth of the summer behind us to the cold of the

days that lay before us, we are all gearing up for the

season ahead of us. Regardless of how severe and

tough the seasons ahead, nature always tries to be

prepared. Animals like squirrels store enough food

for the days ahead, trees shed the extra weight, and

other creatures prepare to hibernate.

In anticipation of the seasons ahead of us, we here at

Prince of Peace Lutheran Church want to equip

ourselves with all the necessary tools to help us love

our God as well as our neighbors more and better. I

encourage you to be a part of our Adult Education

classes starting October 7, 2018, or to join our

weekly Bible study and prayer groups. Our

confirmation classes start 6:30 p.m. on October 10;

please bring your children and grandchildren fifth

grade and up who haven’t gone through confirma-

tion. Come be part of our FREE Community

Dinner every first Tuesday of the month, you will

make a difference in so many people’s lives. On

October 31, Prince of Peace will host the families in

our community for a Harvest Festival - plan to be

there!

The details of these and many more activities are on

the church calendar, please take a moment to glance

through it. We are blessed to have a church family

where we enhance each other’s love for God and our

neighbors. We not only continually and tirelessly

work hard to make sure that each family feels

welcome; we want all to find a place where they

belong and can make a

difference in the lives of

others.

BLOODWORKS BLOOD DRIVE

The next blood drive is on Monday, October 1,

(TODAY). Right now, the Puget Sound area is

experiencing a real decline in new donors and has for

the last four years in a row. BloodWorks has also

sent many much-needed units of blood to help with

recovery efforts from the recent hurricane on the East

Coast which depleted the supply here. Donations are

at a critically low level. We need your help! Think

about donating if you haven’t. If you’re healthy, you

can donate. If you wonder, stop in during the blood

drive to talk to the professionals and find out.

Nancy Hadley is also looking for a volunteer (or two)

who can help in the cantina portion of the blood drive,

putting out snacks, juices, other supplies. See her at

church or contact her if you’re interested. You would

need to arrive roughly noon on the blood drive day

and stay until 2:30 p.m. when lunch break happens; or

arrive at 3:30 p.m. when the afternoon session begins

and stay until 6:30 p.m. Nancy also would like some

help when she drives around afterward picking up her

signs. It’s after dark and she’s used to having a

companion on these drives. Thanks about it!

LADIES BOOK CLUB

Come to the of Ladies Book Club

on Monday, October 8, at 11:00

a.m. in the newly-updated Fireside

Room. The book is Queen Sugar

by Natalie Baszile. Readers,

booksellers, and critics alike are

embracing Queen Sugar and

cheering for its heroine, Charley

Bordelon, an African American

woman and single mother struggling to build a new

life amid the complexities of the contemporary South.

When Charley unexpectedly inherits eight hundred

acres of sugarcane land, she and her eleven-year-old

daughter say goodbye to smoggy Los Angeles and

head to Louisiana. She soon learns, however, that

cane farming is always going to be a white man’s

business. As the sweltering summer unfolds, Charley

struggles to balance the overwhelming challenges of a

farm in decline with the demands of family and the

startling desires of her own heart.

It’s a really great read! Joyce Lentz will bring good

questions and discussion to the meeting. Take a

break and read a good book, then come to the meeting

on October 8 and have great fellowship with a fun

bunch of your female church members! All are

welcome and the coffee is FREE! Joyce Lentz

The Bible study for October is the second in the series

on REPENTENANCE. Last month we learned what

a gift God gives us through repentance. It is about our

relationship with God. This month’s study challenges

us to pass along the gift of grace. The questions are

hard! “Which is harder, repenting to God or to

others? Why? What role does repentance play in

forgiveness? What happens when we repent to

someone or that someone repents to us? How could

repentance change the way you consider and treat

others? Can you repent if you believe you are not in

the wrong? What might change in your life if you

turned freely to someone else in repentance, trusting

in God’s mercy to help you?” Talk about the rubber

meeting the road! The Apostle Paul struggled with

humanness just as we do. We are also a work in

progress with the Lord at our side.

Circle meetings will take place in the church library.

All are welcome. PEACE Circle will meet at 10:00

a.m. on Monday, October 15; JOY Circle will meet at

7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 16; GRACE Circle

will meet at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, October 8; and

FAITH Circle will meet at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday,

October 18. Our times together are RICH!!!

This month, Bible Study Leaders will meet with

Pastor Sam on Tuesday, October 9, at 10:30 a.m. in

the Library.

We would like to thank all

who participated in the pie

and ice cream social in

September. Pies were

delicious and the fellowship

rich! Donations of about $450 made to the Human

Needs Fund will bless many people.

For the Love Project in October, we will collect items

for Lutheran World Relief Personal Care Kits. The

kits will be sent with the quilts and school kits at the

end of October. WELCA will purchase bath towels.

Other items needed for each kit include two or three

bath-sized bars of soap in original wrapping, individual

adult-sized toothbrush in original packaging or if

multipacks are purchased, each toothbrush may be

sealed in a business-sized envelope, one sturdy comb

(remove packaging) and one metal nail clipper (remove

packaging). Please give new items only. Please don’t

donate items with any religious symbols or messages.

Please don’t donate items decorated with patriotic or

military symbols, including camouflage. Any or all of

these items are welcome and thank you for helping to

provide personal care items to those in need.

Meeting called to order by President, Stan Skjeie, at

6:30 p.m.

Devotions & Communion- By Pastor Sam

Pastor Sam reflected on the need to have the Great I

Am at the center of our lives and service. Since Jesus

is the Great I Am, that means that he is in control, I

am not in control. Our rebellion and rationalization

of it means that we don’t want God to rule over us.

God works to restore us in God’s way, not by forcing

us under his control with power, but by inviting us

back to his control for our own good. We have the

freedom to reject God’s offer of accepting us in

Christ. As Luther said, “I cannot of my own reason

or strength believe in Jesus Christ or come to him,

but the Holy Spirit called me by the gospel,

enlightened me with his gifts, sanctified and kept me

in the true faith.”

When the Great I Am speaks, we had better listen.

Will we listen to the siren calls of the world or will

we listen to the word of God? Whether we will

follow the ways of the world or the ways of the

Great I Am, “that’s up to us.

The Presidents Corner: Stan reported that in

recognition of the awesome job done in revitalizing

the Ed Building and our grounds maintenance,

special appreciation should go to Bob Atkinson [for

overseeing the implementation of the project], John

Kelly for putting together the financing, and Judy

Voeller [and Pamela Randall] for the Adopt-A-

Garden initiative that has had tremendous success.

Projects: John and Bob reported that the

renovation of the exterior of the Ed Building is done,

and currently bids for the interior painting are in

review. The exterior cost well over $20,000, $10,000

of which was donated by Phyllis Bowman and the

remainder was drawn from the Money Market

Account.

John reported that finally our aged boiler was

replaced by a new and more efficient boiler. The

[state inspector], despite giving us a pass in the

past, had indicated that he wasn’t going to pass our

inspection this time with that ailing 67-year-old

boiler.

John reported that the apparent sinkholes in the


northeast parking lot have turned out to be septic

tanks that weren’t properly decommissioned [when

the church was originally built]. Pinky’s Plumbing

duly filled them with pea-gravel and [Adams

Asphalt] will resurface the asphalt.

John also reported that the Disaster Preparedness

Committee has gone over $7,100 and need to come

back to the council to give account and report of

their progress. The ramp is done and the container

delivery expected this week.

Pastor’s Ministries: Pastor Conrad informed the

council that he and Sam are putting together the

church’s fall and winter schedule. A tentative

schedule has been drafted pending approval from

several groups and people involved. Tentatively we

have Hawaiian Shirt Sunday next Sunday, BBQ for

Choir 9/16, Ministry Fair 9/23, Safety Fair 9/30,

Adult Education/Blessing of the animals 10/7,

Halloween 10/31, Thanksgiving dinner/distribution

11/14, a detailed schedule will be drawn by Deborah

Santiago.

Pastor Conrad also reported that PoP will need a fall

congregation meeting 11/4. Jude Gustafson moved

the motion to have the fall congregation meeting,

John Thoma seconded, all present were in favor and

the motion was adopted. On 11/4 during the

congregation meeting, we’ll elect new council

officers to replace those retiring from the council.

Additionally, Jude Gustafson moved the motion to

have a Congregational meeting 01/27/2019, Nancy

Hadley seconded, all present were in favor and the

motion was adopted.

Pastor Conrad informed council that the three (3)

congregations might have a joint service or BBQ

picnic.

Pastor Conrad indicated that we have 2-4 pews that

we can donate. Nancy moved a motion to donate 2-4

pews, Jude seconded, and all were in favor and the

motion was adopted. Bob also noted that in moving

things around in order to do the interior painting,

there are lots of children’s chairs that may need to be

given away. Jude was assigned to coordinate that

with Cindy Mackay.

Continuing Ministries: John Kelly reported that

the church’s finances are trending well but noted

that when we next do the budget, we’ll need to pay

close attention to our expenditures so as not to run

deep into deficit.

Supported Housing: Stan reported that Compass

Housing [Alliance] has started on the feasibility

study for the affordable housing at PoP. Greg from

Compass has already contacted an architectural firm

to commence the study.

Barbara Atkinson asked whether consideration can

be made for Hospitality House to construct their

shelter on church property under a long-term lease.

Hospitality House wanted to know before they start

their capital campaign.

New Business: Nancy reported that the blood drive

needs a new banner and Deborah Santiago has come

up with a new design that is great and affordable.

The council authorized Nancy to proceed with the

production of the new banner.

John Kelly reported that we need to move the $2,000

that is sitting in the money market (scholarship)

account into the facilities/endowment account. Bob

made the motion to move the funds ($2,000) to the

endowment account, Nancy seconded and all were in

favor and the motion was adopted.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.

Church Council Secretary, Pastor Sam Sseba


SEVEN SIGNS OF AGING 1. Shrinking. People shrink with age. Most shrink-

ing is normal and different from osteoporosis

which is due to bone loss. The fis is to stand up

straight, pull your tummy in and maintain good

posture.

2. Drooping Earlobes: Sun exposure, loss of

collagen and elasticity in the skin causes ears to

become wrinkled, thin, and droopy. Years of

wearing pierced earrings may make lobes prone to

sagging. A dermatologist can perk up your ears

with injections that last about a year.

3. Sore Feet: After walking 3,000,000+ steps a year,

your feet may hurt now and then. Plantar

fasciitis, a condition affection about 2,000,000

Americans a year, is a condition in which your

experience pain on the bottom of your foot hear

the heel in the morning or that gets worse after

exercise or activity. The treatment includes rest,

icing your foot three times a day, orthotic inserts,

and stretching.

4. Dry Mouth: It is a common symptom of some

medications. More than 400 medications cause

dry mouth. Recommendations are frequent

sipping of water, chewing sugar free gum between

meals, and/or prescription strength fluoride

toothpaste.

5. Hairless Legs and Feet: Hair diminishes over

time. 60-80% of patients with leg artery blockage

symptoms have severe blockages in their heart,

too. Have your doctor evaluate your circulation.

Exercise, medication, and if you smoke, quit.

These activities can slow down plaque buildup

and help reverse heart disease.

6. Spotted Hands: Liver spots on the backs of your

hands have nothing to do with the health of that

organ; they are a sign of sun exposure. Common

after the age of 40, they aren’t a danger to

anything. The use of skin bleaching cream, lasers,

and chemical peels can help. Slather on sunblock

to prevent new spots from forming and existing

ones from darkening.

7. Disappearing Eyebrows: When you tweeze your

eyebrows in your earlier years, it might not group

back in resulting in sparse eyebrows even decades

later. If brows are thinner than normal, see an

endocrinologist. You may have a vitamin

deficiency or thyroid condition. The

recommended course of action is don’t tweeze

your brows, have permanent brows applied, or

consult a dermatologist about hair growth

methods.

SUMMER YOUTH TRIP 2019

Cost: $195 from families

(part of that cost will be

covered by church budget and

fundraising).

Full and partial scholarships

are available.

Length: Five days (Sunday

morning to Friday early afternoon)

Dates: July 28-August 2, 2019

$75 deposit due by October 21, 2018

Portland Oregon Urban Mission: We are in the

process of planning our Youth Mission Trip for 2019.

We are planning to do a mission trip to Portland,

Oregon sponsored by an organization called

YouthWorks. YouthWorks has group Bible studies,

music, and worship opportunities for the youth (about


50 youth at each camp). They work very closely with

the Lutheran church. They have many years of

experience running youth mission work and they

know what works and what doesn’t. Prince of Peace

has sent youth to YouthWorks camps over 25 times

with youth in the past 20 years. YouthWorks was

created in 1994 by a Lutheran youth minister in

Minneapolis, MN. Find more information about

YouthWorks on the net at www.youthworks.com.

What will we do in Portland? Our group will listen

and learn from local leaders and service partners

about the issues Portlanders face, including struggles

of homelessness, gentrification, historic and current

racism, and concern over environmental issues. Our

group will serve existing social service organizations

and participate in the good work these organizations

are doing to serve vulnerable populations of the city.

In the evenings, our group will experience an outdoor

adventure at Multnomah Falls, learn from a cultural

speaker about social issues in the city, explore various

features of Portland, and help host a community

cookout.

Financial: The cost for this mission is about $354 per

person (not including travel expenses). Parents are

requested to pay $195. Final payment is due

December 9, 2018. Full or partial scholarships are

available. We will need to fundraise, too. All youth

and their parents will be expected to participate in

fundraising activities.

This will be a building trip for our youth. I am

hopeful that you will invite friends and family to also

participate. If this goes well, we will be going to the

Wind River Reservation in Lander, Wyoming next

year.

Find registration forms in church on Sunday or at the

church office. Contact Deborah at

[email protected] for a PDF version of

the form. Susie Tollefson

SUNDAY SCHOOL

Elementary Sunday School starts again this month.

During the last weeks we’ve gotten a start in

preparing our room. Due to an emergency in Cindy

McKay’s surgeon’s family, her knee replacement

surgery had to be postponed until last Friday,

September 28. So, like last year, we will start in

October during the 10:00 a.m. worship service at PoP.

The Blessing of the Animals (see next article) is on

October 7. Cindy hopes to be there then, but will

hold Sunday School until Sunday, October 14.

Join us that day for the special youth sermon, and

then we will go upstairs for Sunday School and return

to church to rejoin families. Come back to hear and

see, to learn, to live close to God in his light as we

learn to help each other!

This fall we will tell more stories about heroes in the

Bible, women and men who were faithful, mighty, and

brave; learn about history and our faith; and look

toward Advent as the time we celebrate the birth of

Jesus.

Special Events—Put these on your family calendar:

Youth Choir—most Sundays right after church

Blessing of the Animals—Sunday, October 7

First Sunday School class—Sunday, October 14

Reformation Sunday (maybe Martin Luther will

visit) - Sunday, October 28

Harvest Party—Wednesday, October 31 (see

BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS

Join us NEXT SUNDAY, October 7, during the

10:00 a.m. worship service we observe our annual

Blessing of the Animals. Bring your family pet (if

they can be transported here) or a picture of that pet,

or even a stuffed animal or depiction of a pet that you

cherish and would like the pastors to bless. We will

take time during the worship service to make a

processional of all the pets that will be here for

blessing. We recognize that these are our family

members and, although they aren’t with us every

Sunday, they play a very important role of loving us

unconditionally. Our pets are a wonderful example of

nurturing us when we are sad, being gleeful to see us,

and always having an expression of love in their eyes

only for us. We love and appreciate them, so bring

the next Sunday and get them blessed (remember, if

the weather is even a little bit warm, don’t leave your

pet in the car for extended periods and never leave

the windows rolled up completely when they are

there). See you then!

HOSPITALITY HOUSE VOLUNTEER APPRE-

CIATION LUNCHEON—Saturday, November 3,

Hospitality House is having its annual luncheon at

Prince of Peace. It’s a big thank you from the board

to all HH volunteers—meal providers, fundraising

supporters, donators, etc., Meet volunteers from

other supporting churches. Enjoy the board’s

especially-prepared food! It’s always anticipated that

PoP will be well represented by man of our HH

volunteers—especially since the luncheon will be

HERE at PoP.

COME, LORD JESUS Bishop Kirby Unti

NW Washington Synod / ELCA

From the October 2018 edition of

The Spirit

The Unti family continues to meet

at least once a week for a family meal.

It is the rare occasion when we are not all in

attendance. The meal always begins with the prayer,

“Come, Lord Jesus.” We know not to move a fork

until the prayer has been shared. I must confess that

we do not always do the prayer with the reverence

that it deserves but we always do the prayer.

It would be so easy, and maybe even more pleasant,

if we suspended this practice - but the truth is it is

nonnegotiable. Not because of guilt or shame. Not

because of our personal piety. The prayer is

essential because it helps us as a family to know our

rightful place in the world. We are, as Luther might

say, beggars. We are dependent upon God. God is

the provider. We are grateful receivers.

Many of you know that Kim finds great delight in

preparing meals. It is not only about the culinary

challenge - it is about the gift that comes in

gathering people around the meal. Kim knows how

to turn a meal into an entire evening.

Kim is also the first to sign up to provide meals for

others whether it is a friend recovering from surgery

or helping at any one of several feeding programs.

We often prepare and serve these meals as a family.

Our household has been shaped by meals because we

have been shaped by the Biblical narrative.

Meals play such a critical role in the story of God’s

people whether it is the cry for manna in the

wilderness or breaking bread at home with

Zacchaeus. Not to mention how central the meals of

Passover and The Eucharist are. Meals are how God

is known, faith is formed, forgiveness is experienced

and remembrance of what matters most happens.

Meals are also what the ELCA is about. We not

only gather often as the people of God around meal

but we believe deep in our bones the importance of

seeing that all people have access to the means of

providing and receiving meal. We call this

expression of the ELCA – WORLD HUNGER.

“Working with and through our congregations in

the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin

Islands, Lutheran churches overseas, and other

partners, ELCA World Hunger is uniquely

positioned to reach communities in need. From

health clinics to microloans, water wells to animal

husbandry, community meals to advocacy, your gifts

to ELCA World Hunger make it possible for the

ELCA to respond, supporting sustainable solutions

that get at the root causes of hunger and

poverty.” (ELCA Website: ELCA Website:

www.elca.org/Our-Work/Relief-and-Development/

ELCA-World-Hunger)

Our Synod Hunger Team is ready for some new

members to lead us in our local efforts. If you are

interested in helping to shape this group, please

contact the synod office. Additionally, on the flipside

of this edition of The Spirit, you will find hunger

facts and resources.

COME, LORD JESUS!

MATTHEW 25

PRAY FOR THE HUNGRY

Almighty God, it is difficult to see children suffer, es-

pecially from hunger. We ask You to give them daily

bread today (Matthew 6:11) and end their persistent

hunger. Provide the food they need to grow and

thrive. Pour out Your grace on hungry families, espe-

cially parents straining to feed their children despite

dwindling resources. “For he...fills the hungry with

good things.” Psalm 107:9


REMEMBERING…

KENNETH LEROY

SCHULTZ 8/14/29 - 9/22/18

Kenneth was born on

August 14, 1929, to Roy and

Metta Schultz in Maywood,

Nebraska. He was the second

of four children, including Wilma, Delbert and

Lester.

Ken grew up on the family homestead in Maywood,

Frontier County, Nebraska. He graduated from the

Nebraska School of Agriculture in 1946 (they were

known as the "Aggies").

Ken tried to enlist in the service, but he did not pass

the physical due to a heart murmur. They also told

him that his job as a farmer was essential to the war

effort. However, Ken wanted to serve his country

and went to work for the FBI. He started as a

Fingerprint Classifier making $1,954 per year. In

April 1948, he was promoted to Classification

Fingerprint Clerk making $2,168.28 per year. Ken

was unhappy living in D.C. and his heart ached for

his Nebraska home.

He returned home and worked on a farm as a hired

hand. There he fell in love with Glenda Lorraine

Pahl and they were married on May 16, 1950. They

leased land and spent six years farming. In the fall of

1956, they found out they were broke, but they

subsequently had a successful farm sale.

In the dead of winter, Ken, Glenda, and their three

small children, Susan, Larry, and Richard, bundled

into their black 1950 Chevrolet towing their home-

made trailer. Thus began the perilous four-day

journey to Seattle, WA.

Two months after arriving in the Northwest, Ken

went to work at Lamson Products Company, a small

machine shop, where he worked in quality control

from which he retired 36 years later.

Decades after bringing his family to Seattle, his

Nebraska roots were still a part of his life. Saturdays

meant not only Husky football, but Cornhusker foot-

ball. Each spring the Schultz backyard blossomed

with beautiful flowers and each summer the garden

produced a

bountiful harvest of corn, tomatoes, and beans.

Ken and Glenda enjoyed many activities during

retirement. Ken spent many hours in his woodshop

creating an amazing variety of handmade furniture.

They loved their church family and volunteered

many hours. They also enjoyed camping with their

Good Sam Club. They especially loved traveling to

Hawaii and taking road trips to visit family. His

beloved Glenda passed away July 2, 2013.

Ken is survived by his daughter Susan and her

husband Stevan; grandson Eric Winters and wife

Somer and their three children Myah, Kendal, and

Nolan. He is also survived by son Larry and wife

Karin; also, son Richard and wife Marie and their

three children Nick, wife Christina and their son

Cameron; son Chris and daughter Allie. Ken has

three step-grandchildren, Gail Faris and husband

Bill and their three children Betsy, Sam, and Jack;

David Smith and Marc Smith.

Ken passed away at age 89 at Garden Terrace

Nursing Home. He was a devoted husband, loving

father, proud grandfather and great-grandfather. All

of us who knew and loved him will miss his great

smile and sense of humor.

Friday, October 5, 2018, at noon will be a grave-

side service, followed by celebration of life and

reception. Bonney Watson Washington Memorial

Park. 16445 International Blvd. SeaTac, WA 98188

*In lieu of flowers, suggested donation to the

Arthritis Foundation online or call customer service.


HARVEST FESTIVAL

Join us Wednesday, October 31, at 6:00 p.m. for

our Fall Harvest Festival. Wear your best costume

and “trick or treat” in the warm and safe

environment of the Fellowship Hall. Everyone is

invited to bring a canned or boxed food item for

Highline Food Bank. We would also appreciate

donations of candy for bags for the children, so

please buy an extra bag or two when you do your

shopping. The kids would also like items such as

pencils, erasers, Halloween-type items (spider rings,

GOSPEL FOR OCTOBER

October 7—Mark 10:2-16

Jesus announced and enacted in history the new reality of God’s

surprising activity. These two stories demonstrate this new

reality: Women and children are accepted and valued, not

dismissed as inferior to adult men.


Jesus has been teaching his disciples about what is more valued

in God’s eyes. Now, a conversation with a rich man brings his

message home to the disciples in a way that is surprising but

unforgettable.


On the way to Jerusalem the disciples ask Jesus to grant them

seats of honor. Jesus responds by announcing that he and his

followers will “rule” through self-giving service.

October 28—John 8:31-36

John speaks of truth and freedom as spiritual realities known

through his word. He reveals the truth that sets people free

from sin.

Prince of Peace’s Banner is published every month.
