THOUGHTS WHILE RUNNING
It has been an interesting three months—seeing “old friends”,
meeting “new friends”, writing sermons again, going to church council
meetings, etc. One of the things I have seen in those three months is
strength and commitment. As I talk with leaders, helpers and
worshippers, those attributes come through.
When I started in May, I asked you to be faithful in attendance and in
financial support, and you have. Thank you ever so much, and
please...don’t stop.
I pray that worshipping in the church community this summer has
helped to strengthen your faith and commitment.
The remodeling is almost finished, and we anticipate a return to a
beautifully refurbished sanctuary on August 21st. Sunday school,
youth groups and all our Study groups and Bible studies will be
starting up again.
Thinking ahead, keep September 11th on your mind as we join with
the ELCA churches across the nation to focus our energies on
service to our community.
The Call Committee continues working with Bishop Talmage to help
us find a strong candidate to form a team with Pastor Josh and to be
our Lead Pastor. Keep the committee in your prayers.
Thanks for making these three months a positive time at TVLC.
See you in church,
Pastor Frank Nausin

TVLC Sanctuary Renewal
We look forward to our first services in the newly renovated space on the weekend of
August 20th and 21st. After many months of planning, prep, and implementation our sanctuary
renovation is nearing completion.
Here is a summary of the major areas that have been addressed:
Flooring:
The 27-year-old carpet was removed and replaced with a concrete overlay that resembles large
stone tiles with colors that blend into the original wood and copper inlays of the pews, altar,
and cross. After considering a number of possibilities, this solution was chosen due to its look,
durability, and ease of care. The choir loft and choir room were recarpeted with new commercial
carpet
Paint:
A new color palette was decided on for the space based on recommendations of a church building
consultant from the ELCA.
Video:
Our aging projector was replaced with a 110-inch video wall. This solution was determined to be
the optimal video solution for the brightness and architecture of our space. We are extremely
excited for a clear and vibrant display to enhance our worship. Also, additional displays were
added at the rear of the worship space (for use by worship leaders and the congregation during
baptisms) and in the narthex (for overflow seating and future display of ministry opportunities
before and after the service).
Audio:
Our inductive loop audio system was enhanced and reworked to include all seating areas and
is now embedded in the new floor. With the change in flooring, a change in the acoustics of the
sanctuary has been anticipated. Evaluation of the current system has been undertaken, and will
continue as we move into the renovated space and receive feedback. We anticipate making
adjustments and enhancements in the coming months.
Windows:
The glass block windows in the rear of the sanctuary were replaced by high-efficiency dual-pane
clear class windows for an updated look and views of sky, clouds, and trees. The actual amount
of light allowed through the high-efficiency windows is minimally different from the glass blocks.
A special thanks to Window World of Tucson, owned by TVLC members Chris and April Lutz, for
their donation of these windows.
Narthex:
Per the recommendation of the church building consultant, the space was decluttered and the
lighting was adjusted to create a more open, welcoming space. The mosaic cross was preserved
and blended into the new flooring. New water fountains were also installed.
3
Bathrooms:
Narthex bathrooms were renovated including new floors, mirrors, and lighting along with a
resurfacing of the vanities and partitions. New high efficiency toilets and changing stations
were added as well.
Upholstery and Kneeling Pads:
Replacement of the upholstery of the pews and kneeling pads was not deemed necessary
at this time, although cleaning was done and minor repairs were made. Special thanks to
Andy Ingerson and Tucson Tops Auto Upholstery donating the restuffing and repairing of the
kneeling pads.
Choir Room:
In addition to new carpet, the choir room also was
painted and outfitted with new coverings.
Tapestry:
The large tapestry that had been on the front wall,
now unfortunately showing considerable wear, will be
relocated to the Nausin Family Life Center.
In its place, to set the theme for each liturgical season,
we have commissioned a set of banners that will
alternate throughout the year, designed by awardwinning contemporary textile artist Linda Witte Henke.
She specializes in spiritually expressive and liturgically
purposed work, and her commissions include several
for the ELCA presiding bishop.
Our first banner will be for the “ordinary” season – which
begins the day after Pentecost and continues until
Advent. Green is the color for this part of the liturgical
year, the symbol of growth, and the gospel lessons
focus on the teachings of Jesus and the response of his
followers (whereas the other seasons center on Jesus’
life – Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter…).
This banner symbolizes God in the midst of the people as
the Tree of Life (the graphic trunk and branches) central
to this congregation (the saguaro shape), empowering
us to live out the gospel in our daily lives. The two
halves of the tree might also be interpreted as uplifted
hands in ongoing commitment to ministries of justice
and compassion beyond the congregation.

This summer’s 2016 VBS was a rousing success for
the 113 kids who attended! Deep Sea Discovery, a
week where kids could dive into God’s presence by
delving deep into His Word to see how He has been
with His people every step of the way. Every kid
sailed away each day saying “God is with me—
wherever I go! He KNOWS me, HEARS me,
STRENGTHENS me, LOVES me, and SENDS me!”
Hands-on service projects and sea science helped
kids experience a VBS adventure like no other! We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of
the volunteers, staff, and friends that made this week possible. The snacks, donations, music, supplies,
time, creativity, talents, energy, helping hands, and prayers received made Deep Sea Discovery a huge
success. Many of our VBS supplies and decorations are being forwarded to Desert Hope Church for
their VBS program, helping even more children to learn that they can stand strong in God’s love! Special
thanks to Julie Ressler, director of VBS, for her incredible organizational skills and creative talents!
And again
in JULY...
VBS WENT MOBILE!
A core team of leaders spent a week full of
blessings at the Gospel Rescue Mission, reaching
out to the resident children with the message
from “Deep Sea Discovery”.
Special thanks to the congregation for your
prayers and to Julie and Mandy Ressler, Katie
and Julie Muirhead, Phoebe Coleman, Patty
Pearson, Susan Fissell, Vivian Wilsdon, Karen
Yodice, Cheri Mitstifer and Sherri McClellan for
their gifts of leadership!

TVLC Rally Day 2016
Milestone Ministries
invites all students
to bring their school
backpacks to the
9:30 a.m. worship
service on Sunday,
August 14th. Pastor
Josh will invite students to come forward for our
annual Blessing of the Backpacks. We pray that
all our children will have a safe, productive, and
fun school year.
Graham Cracker Breakfast
for 3 & 4 Year Olds
You and your parents, caregivers, or
special guests are invited to join us for a
breakfast to meet your Sunday School
Leaders! We want to welcome you on
Sunday, August 28th at 9:00am in the
Education Building. We will have graham
crackers, milk, juice and fruit. Our regular
Sunday School will start right after the
Children’s Sermon.
Rally Day at TVLC is Sunday, August 21st at
the 9:30am Worship service. It is the start of
a new year of teaching and learning in many
congregations. Most often it is a day in late
August or early September that signifies the end
of summer vacation and the return to Sunday
school. Rally Day is an essential part of the life
and mission of many congregations. It is the
time to recognize and honor both those who
teach and those who learn; all who nurture faith
in others.
Rally Day provides a unique opportunity to
acknowledge the partnership of parents and
teachers and other congregational members in
affirming a life style that is Christ’s style. It is a
time for the entire congregation to rally behind
God’s intention that all Christians--children,
youth and adults--grow and learn; a day for
congregations to celebrate their ministry of
Christian education!
Our children come to Rally Day filled with the
activities of summer. They are adjusting to new
routines of school days and new friendships.
This time of the year finds many children full
of energy and searching for a friendly place to
belong. While most children are eager to return
and enter their religious education program,
many are unhappy with what and whom they
may have left behind.
Summer friends and neighborhood pals don’t
always follow our students into the church or the
classroom. Because friendships are important
to children, the good news is friends will come
if our children in our congregation invite them.
Children and young people want to be with their
friends!
On Sunday, August 21st, come and
receive a renewed spiritual energy
for you and your family. Come and
celebrate the end of our summer
schedules as we begin TVLC programs
and enjoy Brunch on the Patio after
the 9:30 worship service – ask a friend
or neighbor to come along!

CALLING ALL VOICES!
The Chancel Choir would like
to invite one and all to come
and sing! You truly do not
need to read music to be in
Chancel Choir. You might be
interested, but are concerned
about your voice. Please just come and sing. All
are welcome. The choir is a great way to have
fellowship with one another and serve God and our
TVLC community.
Starting August 18th, the choir rehearses in the
Sanctuary on Thursdays from 7:00pm until 8:30pm
and meets each Sunday to warm-up at 9:00am
and sings at the 9:30 service.
Please email director Jennifer Wortman at
worty44@aol.com or speak to anyone you know
in the choir for further questions. Your voice IS
important to us. Please join us in singing!
A Farewell from pianist Greg Starr
It is with mixed emotion that I am leaving TVLC.
Donna and I have the chance to be closer to family
and “home” with our move to Corvallis, Oregon. I
am excited about new adventures and sad to be
leaving so many who have been wonderfully
supportive and generous over the past 9 years.
Thank you all for your kindness, grace, and good
will. You all will be missed.
Please feel free to stay in touch. My email is greg@
quietrainmusic.com. I look forward to hearing all
about the exciting journey that TVLC is on.
Warmest regards,
Greg and Donna Starr
Greg’s last weekend with
us will be August 6/7. We
offer our prayers for God’s
blessings in their lives as
they have blessed us!

Save the Date!
Are you ready to answer the call? The ELCA’s 2016 National Day of Service
is scheduled for Sunday, September 11th. Last year’s Day of Service was a
great success at TVLC and everywhere else in the ELCA. In our congregation,
over 120 people – including Boy Scout Troop 142 - participated in several
meaningful projects: baking and distributing dozens of cookies to our
community partners and friends; stocking comfort bags for Peppi’s House;
cleaning the courtyards, filling the sandbox, painting pawprints, and updating
the teachers’ lounge at Wheeler Elementary School; collecting children’s books
for classrooms. Because of your enthusiastic response to the call to service
in past years, even more meaningful projects are being explored for this September’s event, and there
will be something for everyone to do! You won’t want to miss this opportunity to serve others in our
community, to do God’s Work with Our Hands, so be sure to save the date! Watch for more information
in the August TV Guide and weekly Highlights.
SAVE THE DATE!
Would you like to join TVLC?
A New Member Class is scheduled for this fall on September 25th and October 2nd at

Dispose-A-Med
Do you have an unwanted or expired prescription or over-thecounter medication in your home, and wonder how to safely
dispose of it? Dispose-A-Med is a free, environmentally-friendly
local program that provides safe disposal of unused medications
and personal care products. Partners in the program include
the Pima County Health Department, UA College of Pharmacy,
City of Tucson, Tucson Water, the Household Hazardous Waste
Program, local law enforcement and fire departments, and various
other community groups.
Dispose-A-Med began in 2009 as a way to minimize the abuse of
prescription drugs and to prevent accidental poisonings, but it also
prevents the introduction of pollutants into the environment and
contamination of the water in underground aquifers. It is definitely
not safe for the environment to flush unwanted medication, or to
grind it up, mix it with kitty litter or coffee grounds and then put
this into your trash. These methods allow drugs to contaminate
our water supply or to be ingested by animals who dig through
garbage in search of food.
There are both daily and occasional Dispose-A-Med collection sites, located across Pima County. Both
prescription and over-the-counter tablets, capsules, liquids, and creams are accepted. Not accepted are
metal or glass inhalation aerosol bottles, syringes, epi-pens, and drugs from commercial organizations.
Drugs brought to a collection site should be in their original bottles; workers at the Dispose-A-Med site
will remove all labels from the bottles to protect your privacy. Collected drugs are incinerated at high
temperature with the help of the DEA, so that there is no contamination of the air, soil, or water. Pill
bottles are recycled or donated to Pima Animal Control as containers for veterinary drugs used in spay
and neuter programs.
Among the permanent Dispose-A-Med locations are both the Pima County Sheriff’s Department Rincon
District (8999 E. Tanque Verde Road) and the Tucson Police Department Eastside Rincon Substation
(9670 E. Golf Links Road); both are open Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm. The following occasional
sites will be available this month:
Saturday, August 6th at Target, 10555 N. Oracle Road, 10am – 2pm
Saturday, August 13th at Target, 3901 W. Ina Road, 10am – 12pm
For more information and additional locations, call 243-7911

To Tanque Verde Lutheran Church
and Pastor Nausin:
My Dear T VLC Friends,
Many of you will remember me during my active
days in the church . In 2008, I lost a lot of my vision
in injuries sustained when I was robbed , and I have
not been active in church since .
However, it is through people like you that God’s
blessings continued to be known . Bob Kridler and
Pam Bridgmon have been there with communion
the past three years. During this time , Pam and Bob assisted me in finding
a senior living facility at Fellowship Square . In January 2016, I began the
process of moving. Your church was willing to help me declutter my home for
showing. (I know you had a great successful rummage sale!)
Without Mark and Cheri Mitstifer, the sale of my home in the foothills could
not have happened--they were with me every step of the way. They not only
handled all of the negotiations, they came to my new apartment at Fellowship
Square and hung all of my artwork , etc., and Cheri shopped for items I needed .
I give deep thanks to the ministry of your congregation which has deeply
touched me . The Lord was holding my hand during these rough days as I
walked through it, and I saw Jesus in your lives as you were so giving to me .
I saw compassion . Your encouraging words brought peace and hope , but most
importantly you showed His love .
May he return to you even more than you have given to me . I thank God for
you.
God’s blessings,
Carol A. Bender
It is more blessed to give than to receive.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity,
these three: but the greatest of these is charity.

Learn more about it...
Still the needs continue to expand. In July 2015,
when the need for foster homes became critical,
LSS-SW began a Foster Care Program. Now over
100 children are sleeping in homes rather than on
office floors.
Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest is driven
by the belief that every person has value and is a
child of God.
Would you like to give your heart and spirit a lift?
Take a look at www.lss-sw.org to find out more and
read the stories of real people who are grateful for
the help TVLC provides through LSS-SW.
Because of faith in action LSS-SW provides 67,000
men, women and children with clothing, food, and
shelter; 52,000 sleep with full stomachs because
of food pantries; and 1,000 legal refugees from
persecution and chaos are helped to build their lives
in Tucson and Phoenix.
Of the 1,500 or so men, women and children served
by LSS-SW, it is estimated that at least 75% are at
or below poverty level. For many, LSS-SW is the
only contact they have outside their homes. And
so LSS-SW empowers older adults with meals and
in-home services that allow them to remain in their
homes and independent for as long as they wish and
are able.
BLOOD DRIVE
TVLC will be having a blood drive on Sunday,
September 25th, from 8:00am-12:00pm in the NFLC.
The American Red Cross has agreed to give us more
help to help cut down on the wait time for participants.
Please mark your calenders to participate in the life
giving cause. The need for blood is critical, especially
this time of year. If you have never donated blood,
please consider helping out those in need. Questions?
Call Dana Fletcher at 907-0874.

Mental Health Minute
with DANI KOLSRUD, ICS Mental Health RepRESENTATIVE to TVLC
To Group or Not To Group?
GROUPING: That action whereby things are included in a category, under a common heading,
categorized for convenience.
“Grouping” has the capability of being a worthy asset when organizing files, equipment, even
ideas, however, knowing when to “group” and when not to “group” is crucial when dealing with
people. When produce shopping and discovering an over ripe banana, I don’t go to the produce
manager and ask him to remove all the bananas, common sense tells me yes, there is a bad
banana, but upon continuing my search and observation, I realize there are plenty of good bananas
left for my purchase. We have become a “grouping” society. Since many mental health diagnosis
leave people unable to cope, function, or contribute on a level predetermined by society, they are
“grouped” as useless, burdensome, and even dangerous. However, many people dealing with
mental illness are extremely intelligent, empathetic, and hard working. With the help of proper
support, medication, and opportunities they become contributing members of our world. But for any
of this to occur, eyes and hearts have to be opened, blinders taken off, preconceived perceptions
need to be replaced by actual education and knowledge.
Does this only apply to mental illness? Information given on the shooting by the young man that
killed members of a Bible Study group in a church basement this past year, stated that the shooter
was a Lutheran. But did we decide Lutherans aren’t safe and all need to be curtailed from being a
part of our communities? I hope not, because I know Lutherans in all corners of our country doing
all sorts of great services and heartfelt gestures of love and caring. It behooves us to know when to
“group” and when not to “group”.
