There is a bit of space in most of our schedules, our minds, and our hearts this summer. It is a great time to breathe deeply and immerse yourself in God’s story. So, when you come to worship, I invite you to pick up a copy of The Story: The Bible as One Continuing Story of God and His People, take it home, and begin reading. You will be glad you did! Using an English translation of the biblical text, the stories of the Bible are arranged into 31 chapters that allow the stories, poems, and teachings to read like a novel. This is a new way of experiencing the Bible. Because it reads like a novel, it will draw you in just like any other good book. The difference is this book is almost entirely Scripture. There are transitional sentences that tie together word-for-word passages from the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible. Many of you have heard me talk about each one of us having a story that intersects with God’s story. Often, especially at funerals, I have talked about how the stories of those we have loved and God’s story are woven into our own story. Reading The Story is one way of learning more fully how your story intersects with God’s story. On Sundays, starting on July 12, I will begin a sermon series that is intended to help us think about the connections between the section of the Biblical story for that week and our own stories. On the next page of this newsletter you will find the thematic chapters and the focus for the sermon for each Sunday listed. Many of these stories are rich with detail, but for these Sundays we will look at the big picture in the sweeping narrative of God’s action in this world. I hope you will be swept up in God’s love.

JULY EVENTS JULY 2015 UrbanArk Sunday Supper Sunday Supper continues to be held at 5 pm in the First Lutheran Fellowship Hall. The meal is preceded by a thirty minute worship service. Attendance varies by time of month with a low of 27 on a winter day early one month to a high of 80 on the fifth Sunday of May. Overall, the average attendance for the first part of 2015 is 48. The meal teams that purchase, prepare, and serve the food come from seven different congregations (4 Lutheran, 1 Greek Orthodox Christian, 1 nondenominational, and 1 Jewish) and Sharon’s Kitchen (a group of teachers who are named in memory of Sharon Kessler, a former meal team cook). The UrbanArk Board is so thankful for the dedication and compassion of every one who participates in a meal team.

Some Things to Make You Smile Change in Fireworks Date For several years, First Lutheran has hosted a viewing party on the front lawn when the Hall of Fame Festival held its downtown concert and fireworks. This year the concert and fireworks will NOT be held during the Hall of Fame Festival. Instead, the HOF has planned a special downtown event including fireworks for Saturday, September 12. Portico What is it? Why should you care? Portico Benefit Services is responsible for providing cost-effective benefits, resources, and inspiration to help leaders strengthen their financial, emotional, and physical well -being. As members of congregations in the Canton City Lutheran Parish you are in a partnership with your pastor and Portico Benefit Services. Portico is a very well run and efficient organization that carefully manages retirement plan expenses and health care premiums. Portico encourages every ELCA health plan member and spouse to take the Mayo Clinic Health Assessment each year. This year for the first time ever, every single synod in the ELCA had over 65% of plan members take the health assessment. The participation of the pastors of this synod and their family members in the health assessment process has resulted in a 2% reduction in health care premiums. That saves money for every congregation. Church Notice: The peacekeeping meeting scheduled for today has been canceled due to a conflict. Deacon Steve is our Internet preacher. His sermons are always filled with reference to e-mails, e-commerce and e-pistles. A little boy’s prayer: “Dear God, please take care of Daddy and Mommy and my sister and my brother and me. And please take care of yourself, God. If anything happens to you, we’re gonna be in a big mess.” -from Church Chuckles Save the Date: 2015 Bishop Gathering, “A Perspective on the Holy Lands” November 1, 3:00—5:00 pm Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 2551 55th St NE The Reverend Walter F. Taylor, Jr. was one of the leaders of the 2015 traveling seminar to Israel and Palestine that Pastor Kratzer and her husband Thomas enjoyed. The trip included discussions with an Israeli Jewish West Bank settler, Bishop Munib Younan of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan, Pastor Mitri Raheb of Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem, and several Muslims. His presentation style is clear and easy to follow and you will benefit from hearing his insights.

NEWS & NOTES TO THE BETHEL LUTHERAN FAMILY JULY 2015 Page 6 Keeping Our Cool in Summer Last year our property team worked out a system of opening certain doors, closing certain windows, and using fans to keep us as cool as possible during hot summer Sunday mornings. Of course, each week the outdoor temperature is different, so if the outdoor temperature is below 80o, we will simply open all the windows and use the four floor fans and the big exhaust fan. But, if the temperature at worship time is to be above 80 o, here’s the way we will be set up to draw cool air up from the basement into the sanctuary: 1) The large exhaust fan at the back of the balcony is turned on. It sucks the warm air out of the nave (seating area) and pulls air up from the basement, through the two corner offices, into the chancel and down the center aisle. So, if you want to be in the coolest part of the nave, sit near the center aisle. 2) In order to pull that basement air up into the chancel and nave, we must close the windows along the sides of the aisles. (The minute we open those windows, the exhaust fan pulls air from outside the building in through the windows. If the outdoor air is warmer than the sanctuary air, we then suck the heat into our worship space.) The doors to the stairwells by the two corner offices must also be closed. But, the doors into the corner offices and the doors from the offices to the chancel must be open. The exhaust fan will be turned on each Saturday so that it sucks the hot air out of the building during the cooler evening hours. Dale will take care of that. Gary and Pastor will determine each Sunday morning at 8 am, which windows and doors to close and which ones to open. Noisy Offering Thank you for your gifts totaling $52.00 on May 31st during our Noisy Offering which will go to Trinity Lutheran Seminary. “SON OF GOD” & “GOOD AND EVIL” The Bethel Sunday School Class meets in the Lounge at 9:15AM each Sunday. We will be starting a new lesson on Sunday July 19th. This will be a 6 DVD lessons titled “Son of God: the Life of Jesus in You” by Pastor Rick Warren. After that lesson we will study a 4 DVD lesson on “Good and Evil” by Pastors’ Tom Holladay & Kay Warren. Come and join us and learn from the lessons and the discussions that follow. Bring a friend, all are welcomed. MESSAGES & MEMOS TO THE BETHEL LUTHERAN FAMILY JULY 2015 Page 7 Congregational Meeting Sunday, July 19 Immediately following the worship service on July 19th there will be a meeting of the congregation to receive additional recommendations from your Bethel Council. These recommendations pertain to the resolutions passed by the congregation at the Annual Meeting on February 22nd. Please come to worship July 19, stay for the meeting, and vote on the recommendations. That will help us make wise decisions as we move forward in the direction you, the members of Bethel, have asked the Council to pursue. Council Meeting The Bethel Council will meet on Tuesday, July 28 at 7:00 pm in the Lounge. Council meetings are open to ALL members of the congregation. If you have something to bring before the council, please contact the council president, Rick McMichael, so he can reserve enough time on the agenda.

This small group, which is in its 21st year, welcomes all who are interested to join them in Bible study and supporting one another in the life of faith. July 13 7:00 pm Questions, please call Tom Jingo How are Hymns Chosen? Every two to three months the Board of Worship and Music spends most of their meeting looking at the scriptures and Prayer of the Day for each of the coming Sundays. Then they think about the themes and images in those scriptures and the prayers as they look through a list of possible hymns. They add to the list other hymns they know that come to their minds. Then they talk about which of the many possible hymns might enrich worship the most for a particular Sunday. They think about which hymns the congregation knows well and which are a bit newer. Sometimes they even consider a brand new hymn. Then they place the hymns in the order they believe will best reinforce the scriptures, prayers, and actions of worship on that day. SERVICE ASSIGNMENTS & MORE FOR FIRST MEMBERS JULY 2015 Page 8 Donations Given in June Keeping Cool at First this Summer The two portable air-conditioning units donated two years ago by Ralph and Judy Reisinger are already in use cooling the Fellowship Hall each Wednesday for Cut-Ups and for Soup Kitchen on the first and last Wednesday of each month. There is also a dehumidifier in the kitchen. Soup Kitchen Bob & Gayle Brown, George & Geri Keeler and John & Donna Salmen Special Offering Tyler Koleski Noisy Offering Thank you for your gifts totaling $96.00 on May 31st during our Noisy Offering which will go to Trinity Lutheran Seminary. In the sanctuary, windows are opened in the each evening to let cool air in and warm air is sucked out using the big fan. The windows are then closed in the morning to keep the hot air of the day out of the sanctuary. A dehumidifier also is used to keep the humidity low in the sanctuary. On Sunday mornings, there are four floor fans that circulate air throughout the worship space. We try to keep the windows closed as long as possible because, upon opening them, we get approximately 20 minutes of breeze as the indoor and outdoor air mixes. But, once the outdoor air comes in, the humidity in the sanctuary spikes. So, if it looks like we will have to open the windows, we will try to time it to get the maximum cooling effect during our worship time.
