Director of Discipleship Ministry

Pondering Points: Leadership Gives Meaning and Purpose

During our WD4 Amplified Series in September we touched on the issue of Leadership. Leadership ques!ons

are not new. They have been around since Jesus declared; “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will

build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” (Ma.hew 16:18.) I o4en wonder if Peter’s first

response to Jesus may have been something similar to a line made famous by actor Robert De Niro; “You talkin’ to

me? Peter had already declared first that Jesus was The Messiah. He may not have been expec!ng Jesus to go that

far! He may have followed that up with something like: “Who am I or what qualifies me to lead anything much less

a people of a new faith? We heard the same scenario in Exodus when Moses ques!oned his call by God to lead the

Israelites out of bondage: “Who am I that I may lead the people. What do I say? What do I do? What qualifies me?”

The Scriptures are filled with people being called to lead and proclaim God and The Word.

We all have our own ideas about what cons!tutes a good leader. Historically in our society, leaders have

been defined as persons who must possess special skills such as, above average intelligence, well experienced,

commanding, strong organiza!onal skills, goal and results oriented, the ability to follow direc!on as well as have

thick-skin. In today’s world, effec!ve leadership has evolved to demand elements such as self-awareness,

sensi!vity, the ability to listen effec!vely, providing ongoing support when needed, assessing another’s skills and

matching them to create a good fit, enjoying and fostering team work and being a good teacher. How do these two

skills sets compare to the ones Jesus may have wanted for his Disciples? Being called or volunteering to be a

Leader, a Disciple in the church doesn’t mean we have to all of a sudden do a quick personal inventory of our

leadership “qualifica!ons.” All being a Leader requires you to do is rest in the knowledge that you are welcomed,

needed, have passion for Christ in your heart and understand your par!cipa!on can and will give meaning and

purpose to the life of your congrega!on. You already possess the characteris!cs Jesus is looking for.

Blessings,

Trunk or Treat -By Shawna Giegerich

Trunk or Treat will be Sunday, October 25th from

3:00-5:00pm.

What is Trunk or Treat?

This is a public event for families! This is a safe trick

or treat loca!on where families walk our loop of cars

in the parking lot to trick or treat from decorated

trunks. In the center of our loop we will have some

games set up for the kids to play. We will have some

hot cider and hot cocoa along with some goodies.

How do I sign up to help?

We will need people to sign up that are willing to

park their car with the trunk facing into the center of

the gravel parking lot. Please be willing to purchase

and pass out candy. You may have fun by decora!ng

the trunk of your car (decora!ng is not required). We

ask that you bring a lawn chair to sit in right next to

your car. This way you are comfortable and are s!ll

able to welcome anyone who comes to our church

for this event.

We do have some decora!ons for anyone interested

in decora!ng their car, but do not have !me to go

our looking. We have three themes available to

choose from. Contact Shawna Giegerich if interested.

Why are we excited about this event?

This is a great opportunity to reach out to our

community. This is also a great way for people to

learn more about our church. We plan on passing out

a li.le goodie bag to each family that will have

informa!on inside about our church events like:

service !mes and small group ministry.

(You may also help out by dona%ng candy to help

refill at cars if they run out).

Bridges of Jones County CROP Walk

Walkers needed at St. Paul. Donors encouraged and pray-

er warriors invited. Hoping you, too, would get on board

for the 2015 edi!on of the Bridges of Jones County CROP

Walk.

The walk this year

will be Sunday,

October 11, 2015.

We will meet at

the Hale Bridge

parking lot off of Shaw Road at 2pm and walk the lower

road through Wapsipinicon State Park. Please find walker

forms on the table in the church entry way. These forms

Many, many thanks to St. Paul members who walked in

previous years. I invite you to join us again. I truly believe

the cause is right. The effort is worthy. The need in our

own community and the world is great. The call of our

the thirsty, and to encourage persons struggling with life.

Generous Giving

So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gi-s, according to the grace

given to each of us. If your gi- is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then

teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy,

do it cheerfully. Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another

above yourselves. -Romans 12:5-10 (NIV)

This is just a sample of recent generous gi4s shared by members at St. Paul. If you have been a generous giver and

your name is not listed, please know, as a community we could never glorify and proclaim the Good News without

your faithful stewardship. Your brothers and sisters in Christ thank you!

• To Steve Kenny for watering the lawn.

• GMT Team, DJ Condry, Ralph Andresen, Shaun Lambertsen, Don Hardersen and all who helped with seTng up

Update on Lutheran World Relief Kits and Quilts -By Virginia Danielson

All St. Paul hands are urged to take part in the 2015 LWR Hands-On weekend, October 10/11. This year, the LWR

leadership team has planned a !me of packing and preparing the created kits and quilts for shipping. The work will

be done immediately following the 6:00 PM service on Saturday, and between services on Sunday morning,

beginning at 9:15. We’ve all been shocked over the plight of hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing from the terrible wars in their

countries. No ma.er what our poli!cal leanings, as fellow human beings we recognize suffering, and can

understand the problems faced by those caught in this tragedy.

As Lutherans, we can be assured that ELCA and Lutheran World Relief representa!ves are on the ground with

humanitarian aid. Pastor Ka!e noted last week that they most o4en are the first in and the last to leave.

What does mean for St. Paul, here in rural Iowa? The efforts we make in collec!ng and packing up the simple items

needed for LWR kits and quilts, along with the prayerful blessings that go with them, can mean warmth on cold

nights, the dignity of clean hands, hope for children who may never experience “back-to-school.”

As we con!nue with this year’s Gods work. Our hands. projects, and take part in the LWR “Hands-On” finale on

October 11/12, let us con!nue in prayer for those suffering and for those giving aid.

Your LWR Leadership Team:

Karen Biere and Nancy Hart……………………….Sewing Kits

Dee Ihlenfelt and Barrie Reynolds……………..Personal Care Kits

Cheri Francik and Verlyn Stolte………………….School Kits

Jan Allaire, Virginia, and Pam Humpal……….Quilts

Malaria Campaign Reaches Goal

The ELCA Malaria Campaign just reached it’s

fundraising goal of $15 million! Thank you for

being a part of this monumental milestone

and helping to protect countless lives from

this preventable, treatable disease.

Working with our Lutheran companions and

partners in 13 African countries, we have

brought about las!ng change. But our work is

not over. While the ELCA Malaria Campaign

will officially come to an end on Jan. 31, 2016

our commitment to ending deaths from this

disease will not. In the coming years, support

to our companions and partners to address

malaria will come through gi4s to ELCA World

Hunger, which has a long history of sup-

por!ng health-related work. Thank you for

your prayers, your partnership and your gen-

erosity.

ALY NEWS -By Virginia Danielson

The ALY Board has announced its annual Gospel Concert,

scheduled for Sunday, October 18, beginning at 4:00pm

at the United Methodist Church. St. Paul Lutheran

Church is the host for the concert this year, with ALY

Board member, Sco. Francik, as Master of Ceremonies.

The Gospel concert is the only fundraiser held by ALY

each year, and features Anamosa area performers. The

concert gives the Anamosa Community the opportunity

to support the work of ALY, which is en!rely dependent

on grants and gi4s to carry on their work of providing

food for our school children who need this helping hand.

Concert-goers will enjoy the talents of the church choirs

and ensembles from First Congrega!onal and St. Paul

Lutheran churches, the United Methodist Bell Choir, and

keyboard duets by Barb Kleis and Nancy Stout.

Thrivent Financial is again sponsoring the concert with a

grant of “seed money” so the offering taken during the

concert can be used en!rely for food purchases for the

ALY program.

The success of ALY is seen in the healthier lives enjoyed

by our children who have benefi.ed by the program.

Success also creates challenges, since the growing

number of children served and the increasing cost of

food items leads to greater need for financial help to

keep the program solvent. The ALY Board is extremely

grateful for the ongoing generosity of our member

churches and the Anamosa Community, and asks for that

con!nued support as the program goes forward.

Jones County Community Cupboard

DID YOU KNOW? In the last 3 years, donations of food and funds to the Jones County Community Cupboard has declined by more than half. But the number of families who use the pantry has remained steady– at about 150 families each month. As of right now, the cupboard is truly, almost bare– and the need remains great.

Please be generous by donating food and toiletries each month and/or by your gifts of funds that can be used to purchase these basics and provide food vouchers (which can be used only for specific items). Checks should be made out to the Jones County Community Cupboard to be sure your donations are used for our food program. Thank you for your generous support!

Forks and Friends

Forks and Friends is a free community supper each month that in general meets the 4th Thursday of each month

with the excep!on of November and December when it is the 3rd Thursday to avoid the holiday that month. The

supper is held in the basement of the Anamosa United Methodist Church which is handicapped accessible. Supper

is served from 5:00-7:00pm and is usually soup, crackers, bread, peanut bu.er & jelly, fresh vegetables and home-

made dessert. All food is donated and there is no charge and no basket for dona!ons. (If someone wishes to make a

dona!on, we will gladly accept it.)

Meal dates for the rest of 2015 is as follows: October 22, November 19 and December 17.

Please help to spread the word about Forks and Friends!
