THE LAZY DAYS PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY

The so-called lazy days of summer arent necessarily that lazy anymore. Today, summer often has its own hectic pace along with the other seasons of the year. But still, hopefully, there will be those occasions when we can find some R and R time in these next couple of months. I think our society, all hyped up on consumerism and energy drinks, needs a little bit more down time. When I think about the need for down time (or a better phrase would be Sabbath time) I am often reminded of one of my favorite episodes from the old Andy Griffith Show. The episode features a travelling businessman, full of stress and urgency, whose car breaks down as he passes through Mayberry. It happens to be Sunday and the man is desperate to have his car repaired that day so that he can keep up with all of his appointments and expectations. The problem is the fact that it is Sunday. And Sunday in Mayberry is still a day of rest. And so, try as he may, the businessman can find no one who will repair his car that particular day. So he is forced to slow down and spend the afternoon and evening with Andy, Barney, Aunt Bea, and the crew as they simply enjoy and savor their Sabbath day. At the end of the episode, the businessman realizes that something is missing in his hectic life. He realizes that he needs Sabbath time not only to relax and unwind, but to appreciate the gift of life and the relationships that make life truly meaningful. This is the opportunity we are given particularly in the summer months. While the old blue laws no longer apply, and summer is perhaps not as lazy as it used to be, it still offers some opportunities for us to find Sabbath time for the renewal of our faith and our spirit. Let us make the most of the opportunity for Sabbath renewal in these next couple of months. Let us turn off the TV, computer, or phone a little more often. Let us turn to scripture and prayer. Let us spend a bit more time with our families and friends. Let us take a vacation (if possible). Let us make Sunday a day of worship and a day to break from our hectic routines. And, in all these things, let us be renewed in the most important relationship we haveour relationship with God. Amen. Pastor Paul

NEW BOOK BY JIM WALLIS

In the April edition of Sojourners magazine we are introduced to a new book by Sojourners editor in-chief, Jim Wallis titled, On Gods Side: What Religion Forgets and Politics Hasnt Learned About Serving the Common Good. In commenting on the book, Wallis first tells us the story behind its creation. He recently took a 3-month sabbatical which began with some time in a monastery overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This time in the monastery provided him the opportunity for a good bit of Sabbath renewal which included also time for writing much of the above mentioned book. Wallis recounts his time in the monastery: Each morning, he says, began before sunrise with prayers, walks, yoga, and exercise, followed by writing during much of the rest of the day. During this time he also watched and read the news of the day, but he disciplined himself not to write or comment on it publicly. This allowed him to see things more from the viewpoint of an observer than a participant. Wallis was struck by the need to once again emphasize starting with God and not with ourselves when addressing the challenges of our world, and the need to pursue the common good in our communities and society. The title of the book was inspired by a quote from President Abraham Lincoln in which he said: My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on Gods side. Wallis notes that this is probably the most important thing said about religion by any American president. We all sometimes fall into the trap of trying to get God on our side.to have God put Gods stamp of approval on what we want. But Wallis notes that the harder and better task is to ask how to be on Gods side. This often means allowing our hearts and minds to be changed and being willing to take on new perspectives. Wallis says that shallowness often prevails in our politics, media coverage, and our popular cultural values. He says that we need renewal on a deeper level pertaining not only to the larger social arena but also to our families, neighborhoods and local communities. He notes that restoring healthy house-holds means moving from an emphasis on appetites to an emphasis on values and helping our children learn the difference between the two. Wallis wrote this new book to reflect on what it means to move to a more values-oriented perspective and to help spark a national conversation about the meaning of the common good. It should be a very insightful read. Subscribe to Sojourners at www.sojo.net

UTILITY BUILDING DEDICATION

On Sunday, June 9th, our new utility building off the south side of St. Mark will be dedicated to the glory of God. The building is a memorial gift to the congregation by the Schafer family in loving memory of Roy A. Schafer. All the materials and the labor for the building were given by our own members of St. Mark. On the 9th we will recognize all who gave so much of their time, talent, and treasure to make this building a reality.

21 FROM ST. MARK PLAN TO ATTEND CAMP LUTHER

Sometimes we hear the tired refrain that St. Mark is a church of the older generation and not a church of today. This is a myth. What St. Mark is, is an inter-generational church. This is precisely the kind of church-community which is needed in todays culture where the church is so often segregated by age. So lets celebrate the inter-generational beauty of our congregation. Lets give great thanks for our 90+ year olds. We learn so much from them! Lets also give great thanks for our 9 year-olds and our 9 month-olds. We learn from them as well! Lets also celebrate and give thanks for this years crew going to Camp Luther. This year we have 17 youth and 4 adults going to camp. This is a good sign. Heres whos going: Tony Bennett Dale Bennett Hayden Mosa Gavin Glass Devin Glass Jacee Glass Kalee Robinson Robert Schafer Lindsey Braun Burke Glover Allison Roesser Emilee Ondrik Megan Ondrik Daniel Marshall Alex White Ms. Ashlee Robinson Emily Braun Mrs. Danielle Marshall Rylie White Mrs. Wendy Bogers Pastor Paul Schafer

Let us pray that camp will be a time of renewal of faith for these young people and for the church as a whole!

SOCIAL EVENTS SCHEDULED

THE CHURCH PICNIC will be held on Sunday, July 14th after 10:15 worship. The picnic will be held on the St. Mark Church grounds. This has worked well over the past few years. Normally the church will provide meat, drinks, and a couple of side dishes. Beyond this, we give the option for people to bring the favorite desserts they like to make if they would like to do so. Events and games will be available for people of all ages. WASHINGTON WILD THINGS: A church outing to a Washington Wild Things baseball game will be held on Sunday, July 28th. The game will begin at 5:05 p.m. and we will be caravanning from the church parking lot at 4:15. A sign-up list for tickets will be out soon in the lower narthex. Wed love to have a good group go to the game. Tickets are priced at $7.00 per person.

WEST VIRGINIA WESTERN MARYLAND SYNOD ASSEMBLY The annual meeting of the West Virginia-Western Maryland Lutheran Synod (ELCA) will be held in Morgantown at the Waterfront Hotel on May 31st and June 1st. Our voting members attending will be Jackie Shay and Frances Braden. Our clergy voting members attending will be Rev. Paul Schafer and Rev. Alvin Schafer. Mrs. Sherri Schafer will be representing Community Lutheran Partners. Let us pray for the Assembly as it seeks to discern the mission of Gods Kingdom on the territory of this Synod!

YOUTH CONFIRMED
On Pentecost Sunday, May 19th, two of our youth were confirmed at St. Mark during 10:15 festival worship. Mason Lapp and Devin Glass affirmed their baptism and were recognized by the congregation. We congratulate them on completing the confirmation program and taking this important step in their journey of faith. We pray for their continued discipleship as the Holy Spirit leads them to new chapters of ministry.

MISSIONARY TO VISIT ST. MARK

On Sunday, June 2nd, St. Mark will welcome a missionary from Madagascar as our guest preacher for the day. (Pastor Paul will still be present and presiding at the services). Our guest is a Pastor from the Malagasy Synod (our Synods companion synod) who will be bringing greetings to us from our sisters and brothers in faith in Madagascar. This should be a very interesting and uplifting Sunday at St. Mark!

WOMEN OF ST. MARK

Happy Spring everyone. Hope you are all enjoying the warm temps, fragrant flowers, and longer hours of daylight that Spring brings. And as our Spring activities of the Women of the Church conclude, we would like to send a great big thank-you to all those who worked so hard to make the All-Daughter Banquet the success it was. Heartfelt thanks to the following: Maggie and Kristen Espina for serving as Hostesses extraordinaire; Cheryl Simon, and family, for the delicious food; Gladys Mitsch, assisted by Leslie Garrett, and the WPHS Madrigal Choir for an outstanding musical program; Jill Vessels, assisted by Jackie Shay, for the delightful decorations and door prizes; Pastor Paul, Dick White, Mike West, Clyde Borrell, and Jim Glaser for serving the luncheon; Ellen Kriner and Dottie Boyd for selling tickets; Grace Kennedy for printing the tickets and the bulletin inserts; our custodian Bill Flesch for set-up and clean-up; and Carmen Heil, assisted by Jacqueline and Corrine, for taking photos during the Luncheon and then creating a wonderful display on the bulletin board of all the day's activities. I fear I may have unintentionally forgotten someone's contribution, so please accept my apologies if I have. As you can see it takes a lot of dedicated, hard-working people to create a successful event such as the All-Daughter Luncheon. We are so blessed to have them in abundance here at St. Mark. Many, many thanks for a job welldone. And so as we begin our Summer hiatus for Women of the Church activities I would like to thank all the women who have served so capably this past year in the ministries of the St. Mark Women of the Church. Thanks to all those who made soup, delivered shut-in meals, cooked and served funeral dinners, prepared desserts for Meals on Wheels, maintained and planted the flower gardens inside and out, those who prepared Appalachian Outreach shoeboxes, wrote care cards, did care calls, cleaned and re-arranged the kitchen and pantry, those who gave computer assistance for the office and church records, those who prepared, planned and served the Lenten Tea, those who gave time and talents to the All-Daughter Luncheon, the Women's Christmas Party, those who prepared Sunday bulletins, sharpened pencils, prepared attendance cards, assisted with Hope on the Hill ministry, assisted with Christmas Food Baskets, delivered altar flowers to sick and shut-in members, and all those who prayed for the success of women's ministries of St. Mark. It is an honor to serve as leader of these hard-working, dedicated servants of God known as the Women of the Church at St. Mark. Peace and joy, Peggy Glaser

CROSSINGS
A WEE BIT OF EARLY ST. MARK LUTHERAN HISTORY

It was the month of October, 1907 and Elm Grove was not a suburb of Wheeling, but a town in itself. Elm Grove had a Mayor and Kruger Street still had horses and buggies traveling it. Kruger Street School was only one year old and included the first thru tenth grades. Columbia Avenue was known only as C Street and life was a little bit different than it is today. It was in the Fall of 1907 when the 23 year old assistant pastor of downtown St. James Lutheran Church began a class of instruction for young men and women from the neighborhood of Elm Grove with a view to confirmation. The class first met in a room of the Maple Hotel which was located approximately at our present entrance to the Interstate going East. Many were asking when the youth would be confirmed, and pastor answered that they would be confirmed at St. James in June of 1908. All expressed their excitement about this Confirmation occurring. This first class was made up of the following: William A. Fischer, J. N. Fischer, A. R. Fischer, Martha L. Green, John Green, George Green, Hatti Otto, Lottie Otto, Ida Schmidt, Georgia Rentschler, Lilly Rentschler, Fred R. Rentschler, Martin Wagner, Louis Wagner, Mary Wagner, Nicholas Winter, Loretta M. Winter, and Carl Winter. Hoping you all enjoyed this short history of the beginning of our St Mark Lutheran Church.

THANKS FROM FOOD FOR THE POOR MINISTRIES

Dear Friend, You may not realize just how big an impact your gift has. Whether your gift fed a child, built a home, or helped in some other way, the difference is profound and is visible on the recipients face. A childs sad eyes lighten up, or a mother begins to weep and shout praises to God. A grateful voice says, Thank you for caring enough to help. Let us not grow tired of doing good, for in due time we shall reap our harvest, if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9) Your loving gifts bring hope to those who need it most. It may start with a grateful expression on a face, but the hope you give overflows into the mind and spirit. Your compassion literally makes a life-changing difference. But its just the beginning, as a prayer is lifted up to God in gratitude for your loving blessings. Thank you. May God bless you for your generosity. A servant of the poor, Robin G. Mahfood

BOOK REVIEW
The next St. Mark book review will be Tuesday, July 9th, at 10:00 a.m. in the Conference Room. The book we will be reviewing is titled, Mother Teresa, Her Essential Wisdom copyright 2006 by Fall River Press. Some interesting quotes from the book include the following: The poor give us much more than we give them. Theyre such strong people, living day to day with no food. And they never curse, never complain. We dont have to give them pity or sympathy. We have so much to learn from them. We should ask ourselves, have I really experienced the joy of loving? True love is love that causes us pain, that hurts, and yet brings us joy. That is why we must pray and ask for the courage to love. Pick up a copy of this wonderful book, and if your schedule allows, join us for the review!

The church softball season began on May 19th with a game against the Church of Christ (National Road). However, it is certainly not too late to join the team. We are always welcoming new participants. The league is open to men and women age 14 and older. It is good to have some experience with softball, baseball, or athletics and to have a ball-glove. Team shirts will be ordered for those who need them. If you dont have a St. Mark shirt yet, you may simply wear a navy blue t-shirt until we have a uniform shirt for you. Game times will be announced via the church e-mail and the Sunday bulletin. All games are on Sunday afternoons at Bridgestreet School field. Lets play ball!
