Rallying Together Again
Dear members and friends of First English,
The summer is flying by quickly! It’s not too early to be thinking about some exciting learning and fellowship events planned for September at First English. Once again our fall schedule will “kick off” in style with our exciting all ages, congregation wide Rallying Together event on Sunday, September 14, 2014:
Worship – 10:00 AM All Member & Family Picnic Barbeque – 11:15 AM Games & Fellowship – 12:00 – 2:00 PM
Fall is typically the time of year when many of the activities of the church that have taken a rest for the summer months, spring back to life including:
Sunday school New Youth Activities Choirs Confirmation Adult Bible study
We will begin the day with One Worship Service at 10:00 AM. This year’s service will feature our youth leading us in worship! As Mark Allan Powell, a professor at Trinity Lutheran Seminary and author of “Loving Jesus” has said so well:
“Worship is the corporate expression of the church’s love for God. When we worship God, we love God, as a community, together. We can love God as individuals, but worship is something more. Worship is corporate love”.
Having one worship service on our day of Rallying Together will be the perfect opportunity to gather our entire congregation as ONE, worship and praise God and give thanks for the many ways God has already and most certainly will continue to bless this ministry called First English. Following worship we will continue our Rallying Together with a First English Picnic Barbeque complete with hamburgers, hotdogs, a variety of potluck dishes and games for all ages. The bounce house will be back again too!! So, what can you do to make it all happen?
First and foremost plan to be there!!! Come dressed for fun! Second, check out the sign up sheets on the board in the lounge. Third, get the word out to members who have been gone for the summer, friends, and
neighbors. All are welcome.
There are many great opportunities for grill masters, game supervisors, set–up and clean-up artists. As with all gatherings, if we all join our hands to offer our help, all will have fun.
See You at Worship! Pastor Chris

BURDENS
July 6, 2014 Fourth Sunday after Pentecost Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30
What kind of burdens are you carrying? I repeat, what kind of burdens
are you carrying? Maybe it is the constant labor of a hectic work schedule that
leaves one physically and mentally and emotionally exhausted.
Maybe it is worry over a marriage relationship that is far from ideal;
Maybe it is concern about our children who seem to be living in a way we
cannot understand; or maybe we are even concerned about sending our children
off to school as 74 shootings have taken place over the past few years.
Maybe it is the burden of disease or illness, or just plain old struggling
with trying to get around and do what we want, either for ourselves or our
loved ones. Maybe it is the constant care required by elderly parents or
grandparents.
Maybe it is concern about making ends meet, the constant juggling of
bills or worry whether we will out- live our resources.
Maybe it is the concern of downsizing and job loss or seeking elusive
gainful employment.
Or maybe we just can’t seem to find that peace of mind that we so
eagerly want and seek.
Whatever our burdens are, and 40 years of ordained ministry has taught
me that there are none of us, not one of us who do not bear some kinds of
burdens; and those burdens for us are very real.
Maybe that is what makes these words of our Lord from our Gospel
lesson for today some of the most beloved verses in all of scripture. “Come to
me, all you that are weary and carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in
heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light.”
In this fast paced, hectic world in which we live, these words of rest and
comfort from the lips of Christ strike a beautiful chord for us.
Now yes, I have also been around long enough to realize that very often
we bring our own troubles and problems upon ourselves by our foolishness,
our stubbornness and our self-centeredness. The choices we make do have
implications for our lives and for the lives of those around us!
We like and we cherish our freedom. This is the weekend we celebrate
that freedom won for us by our forefathers and mothers in 1776, but yes,
sometimes our freedom gets us into trouble.
As I look at our society, I would suggest to us that we have sacrificed
ourselves at the altar of personal freedom at the detriment of what is good

for our society as a whole.
As St. Paul reminds us, “All things are lawful, but not all things are beneficial. All things are
lawful; but not all things build up. Do not seek your own advantage, but that of the other.” Some
very good food for thought for our day and age!
But you know, in the final analysis, it does not really matter if we are victims of circumstances
beyond our control or if we bring our troubles upon ourselves; because the bottom line is that our problems,
our troubles, our burdens are very real and we must deal with them; for as life has taught us, very few
problems go away by themselves, and if ignored usually only become worse!
But now we might ask how, how Christ can lessen our burdens? What can Jesus do to give us rest,
to give us peace? How can Christ give to us that help with our everyday burdens and struggles?
Well, First of all, Christ can help us because he is always there; he is the ever present God. Christ
never has a busy signal; you will never get an answering machine or voice mail with Christ, you will not
need to log on again at a later time, your prayer will not get “dropped” like many cell calls, no he is there at
all times.
I ask you is that not a great and glorious blessing to be able to share our burdens, our frustrations,
our struggles with someone who cares, any time, day or night? There is true power in prayer and Christ
is always there, just a prayer away.
A second reason that Christ can lighten our burdens is simply, but profoundly the fact that he is
God; the most powerful force in all creation. As St. Paul reminds us, “If God is for us, who can be
against us.” When we link ourselves with the most powerful force in all creation, we are strengthened and
supported for our daily tasks and struggles.
Albert Stauderman illustrates this point with the following story. “Out for a walk with her father, a
little girl came to the bank of a swift flowing stream. There were pretty flowers at the edge of the stream
and the girl wanted to pick some of them, but her father drew her back. He showed her that the running
water had undercut the bank of the stream and made it unsafe. Disappointed, she persisted, ‘Daddy, how
many flowers can I pick?’ Her father answered ‘Pick as many as you can without letting go of my hand!’”
Now that is a good rule for life, is it not? Whatever loosens our hold on the Master’s hand
should always be avoided!
In the waters of Baptism God made us one of his own; God claimed us as his child, God made a
promise to us that he will always be with us. We never walk alone, we never face life’s difficult
moments alone. God is always there with the love, the strength, the peace, the hope that can only come
from the almighty, all loving God.
As the Psalmist reminds us, “His rod and his staff they comfort us.” And as St. Augustine put it, as
reflected in our “Prayer of the Day,” “Thou hast made us for thyself, and our souls are restless, until they
rest, O God, in thee.”
A third reason that Christ can ease our burdens and cares is because there is real power in love
and forgiveness. To know that we are loved, accepted and forgiven by God, through Christ, in spite of our
weaknesses, in spite of our sin; in spite of our struggles; empowers us to continue moving forward,
strengthened and renewed.
Love really is more powerful than brute force. Karl Menninger, the famous psychiatrist puts it
like this. He says, “Love cures people, both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it!” Have we
not seen this reality played out in our lives?
We love because God first loved us. Through God’s great gift of love and forgiveness, we in turn are
empowered to share that love with God, with others and with ourselves.
In fact, several interesting studies have shown that those people who are truly able to forgive have
fewer physical difficulties than those who hang on to ill feelings and resentment. As we all know, but often
forget, resentment eats away at our lives, however there is real power in love and forgiveness.

Update to the Senior Pastor Call Process
This is a quick recap of what has happened in the Senior Pastor call process thus far and what is
happening to move forward. On May 18 the church council decided to move forward with the call
process rather than have an interim pastor for a period of time after Pastor Schmidt’s retirement.
On June 1 the Church Council had a meeting and approved the following members for the call
committee:
John Nyquist – Chairman
Mark Balle, Jr.
John Blohm
Trevor Clor
Jeff Gates
Members of council were also given the task of working on the Ministry Site Profile (MSP) which
is the congregation’s resume and defines “who we are” to help in the selection of our new Senior
Pastor. Council members were encouraged to take the questions of the MSP to their board
members and other members of the congregation for reflection and input and have now completed
that process . The call committee met with Pastor Oberle and Pastor Holland from the Bishop’s
office on June 25 to learn details of how the call process will work . The call committee is now
working on posting our MSP for potential candidates to review on the ELCA website.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

SUMMER SCHEDULE Just a reminder that we are now in our Summer Schedule of
Worship Services. Contemporary Worship is at 9:00 a.m. and
Traditional Worship is at 10:30 a.m. Sunday School does not meet during
the summer months.
If you are out of town on the weekend, please join us on Thursday
evenings for worship at 7:00 p.m. The Summer Schedule will continue
through Labor Day Weekend, thus our last Thursday Worship will be
August 28, 2014.

Congregational meeting scheduled for Sunday, August 17, 2014
When Pastor Chris came to First English her call was to be co-terminus with
Pastor Schmidt’s retirement. As the council discussed the transition from Pastor
Schmidt to a new Senior Pastor we felt that an extension of Pastor Chris’s call would
be beneficial and necessary. The purpose of the meeting is for the
congregation to vote on an extension of the call of Pastor Chris Veres. The church
council has scheduled a Congregational meeting on Sunday, August 17, 2014
directly after the 10:30 am service.

THRIVENT CHOICE DOLLARS We continue to receive your “Thrivent
Choice Dollars” gifts! Thank you to all of our
members who have directed their “Thrivent Choice
Dollars” to support the mission and ministry of First
English. Over $2,000.00 was donated last year to
First English through this program. If you are a
Thrivent policy holder you are eligible to also direct
your support to First English. The rules have
changed a bit in that now the gifting of the “Thrivent
Choice Dollars” must be done annually. You can
direct your gifts to First English by calling Thrivent
at 1-800-THRIVENT (800-847-4836) and state
“Thrivent Choice” or on line at Thrivent.com. Again,
thank you for your support; it is greatly
appreciated!

ALTAR CLOTH
Have you noticed the new Altar Cloth
for our Contemporary Worship? Thinking
that it would be very meaningful to have an
Altar Cloth from the Holy city of Jerusalem,
we purchased this Altar Cloth on our recent
tour to Israel and Jordan.
Congratulations were omitted from the July CLEF to Cullin McGraw on his graduation from Grosse Pointe North
High School!!!
A Funeral Service was held for Clarence Schram on Thursday, July 24, 2014 at First English. Clarence passed
away July 22, 2014, one day short of his 98ty birthday. Thanks be to God who gives to us the victory through our
Lord, Jesus Christ.

9:30 a.m. THURSDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY
THE EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS
Book of Galatians will be the topic of our Thursday morning Bible
study this coming fall. We will have approximately six weeks this
coming fall following Labor Day before Pastor Schmidt retires, so this
time frame gives to us a great opportunity to study this relatively short
but powerful Epistle of St. Paul.
Martin Luther considered Galatians one of the purest presentations of
the Gospel, and as one author put it, “The importance of the brief let-
ter (Galatians) is hard to overestimate. The declaration of the princi-
ples reiterated in these six chapters made Christianity a true world
religion.”
Our sessions will begin after Labor Day, meeting Thursday
mornings, 9:30 -11:00 a.m. Our first session will be September 11,
2014. Please be with us as, together, we explore this powerful book.
We still have a few copies of the book Killing Jesus remaining, which
would make great summer reading, and are available from Pastor
Schmidt, Pastor Chris and Sue, in the office, at the discounted price of
$15.00.
Grace Circle - Fourth Monday at 7:00 p.m.
Peace Circle - First Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.
Faith Circle - First Tuesday at 10:30 a.m.
Hope Circle - Second Wednesday at 11:30 a.m.
Check the calendar at www.feelc.org
WOMEN’S CIRCLE BIBLE STUDY
“Transforming Life and Faith” will be the topic of
our Women’s Circle Bible studies for this fall. This
study will look at the transforming power of Jesus, the
transformations of Paul and Moses and Lydia, Philip
and the Ethiopian, plus more. The September study
begins with St. Paul and a look at his transformation
and faith - from one who persecuted the church to
become her greatest missionary.
All women of First English are encouraged to
attend a Circle; please check the calendar for the various
Circles meeting schedule.
9:30a.m. ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL
LUTHER’S SMALL CATECHISM
On October 31, 1517 Martin Luther
nailed his “95 Theses” to the church door of
the Castle Church in Wittenberg Germany.
Historians have assigned this event as the
beginning of the Protestant Reformation. This
of course means that in 2017 we will celebrate
the 500 Anniversary of the Reformation.
Our Presiding Bishop, Elizabeth Eaton, I
believe has made a great suggestion that as we
look forward to that celebration we study
Luther’s Small Catechism. She points out
that “it could be argued that no other
experience is more universally Lutheran than
studying Luther’s Small Catechism.”
So, our Adult Sunday School Classes
beginning this fall will be an overview of
Luther’s Small Catechism. Not only will
this give us an opportunity to celebrate our
Lutheran Heritage, but Luther’s Catechism is
also an excellent review of the basics of the
Christian Faith!
So that parents might be able to
participate in the “Rally Day” activities on
Sunday, September 14, our first class will
be Sunday, September 21, 2014. We meet
during the Sunday School Hour, 9:30 -10:30
AM in the Lounge. Make your plans now to
join with us!

GIFT WISH LIST TUCKPOINTING AND PILLAR REPAIRS
ORGAN FUND
COLUMBARIUM FOR FIRST ENGLISH COLUMBARIUM PROJECT GIVEN FINAL APPROVAL
Final approval for our Columbarium Project was given at the special congregational
meeting Sunday, June 1, 2014. Eickhof Columbaria, the company who will be installing our
Columbaria, has mailed us final plans to for our approval.
We will continue with the same policy as approved earlier concerning sale of the niches, i.e.
before construction begins, the companion niches, which hold two urns, will be sold for $1,500.00;
after construction begins they will sell for $1,800.00. We will give the congregation sixty days
notice before raising the price to $1,800.00. Niches will be assigned on a “first come-first-served”
basis, with members being able to choose the location of their niche within the Columbarium. To
date thirteen double niches have been sold. If you are interested in purchasing a companion niche,
please speak to Pastor Schmidt.
.
Our organ at First English is over fifty years old, and over the past 10 years has had switching
components beginning to fail. Because the original components of the organ console haven’t
been manufactured since the early 1970’s, the console and its related switching need to be rebuilt
to have the organ fully functional again. The three bids that we are looking at estimate repairs to
be approximately $300,000. Total funding at this point is at $66,363 in the Organ Fund,
including the gracious gift from the estate of Gladys Greenburg. If you wish to help with these
repairs, please mark your envelope "Organ Fund" and place in the offering plate or leave in the
office. Thank you! -The Board of Worship and Music.
This past year the first unit of our facility required tuck-pointing of the outer walls to
prevent costly water damage. In addition the pillars by the southeast entrance to the
Narthex required repair. Our Board of Church Properties received bids for the above
repairs and the Church Council approved these projects. The total cost was $19,600.00, and
these repairs have now all been completed. If you would like to assist with the cost of this
project simply mail your check to the church or place in the offering plate. Please designate
your gift for “Church Maintenance.” Thank You!

A fourth reason why Christ can ease our burdens is because the end is certain. Because we live
in a world marred by sin, life is not always fair, nor easy. All too often the good die young, often the
outwardly innocent suffer. Our daily news is filled with tragedy after tragedy.
The killings continue in schools and shopping malls and businesses and in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Daily it seems we hear of drug wars and abused and abandoned children; let alone the suffering caused
by natural disasters.
While these tragedies shock us to the core, as children of God, we know that pain, and suffering,
and tragedy and even death are not God’s will, nor do they have the final word!
God has the final word and his word to us is life; the abundant life now and the eternal life in
that world which is to come - where the pain, sorrow and brokenness of this life is replaced by the never
ending joy of that heavenly kingdom.
Because Christ lives, we shall live also. That is God’s promise to us, guaranteed to us by the
life, suffering, death and resurrections of Jesus Christ our Lord.
And that very nicely leads us to our last reason that I would like to lift us this morning as to why
Christ can give to us the rest and peace and that is that he encourages us to live in the present!
With the future secure, we are empowered to live each day that the good Lord gives us life.
But yet isn’t it amazing how we add to our cares and burdens by worrying about the past and what
might happen in the future.
However, in reality the past is past; we cannot redo what has already been done. Yes,
hopefully we can learn from the past, but what is done is done and we need to move forward.
Plus, how we as humans worry about what might happen. But have you ever thought that in all
actuality tomorrow never really comes; for when tomorrow comes - it is today!
I love that line from Jesus’ “Sermon on the Mount:” “So do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
Not one of us is guaranteed tomorrow! We need to learn to live each day as the good Lord
gives us each day, enjoying his blessings, using his gifts, sharing his love; impacting what we can
change and not worrying about those things over which we have no control.
In our text, Jesus admonishes us to learn from him and if we as his children could truly learn to
live our lives in the present, thanking God for his many blessings and using God’s gifts in service to
him and to one another; we would greatly ease our burdens.
The simple truth is that when we worry so about the past or what might happen in the future, we
not only add to our burdens of the day, but then we are also so preoccupied with ourselves, with our
own problems, our own worries, that we are not then truly open to the needs of others, nor are we
open to receive God’s love, help and strength.
The bottom line is that our true rest and comfort come not from within ourselves, but
rather our true rest and comfort come from outside ourselves! I repeat our true rest and comfort
come not from within ourselves, but rather from outside ourselves! Our true rest, comfort and meaning come from God and the more we are open to God’s help
and strength and peace and love, the more he can share and lighten our burdens.
Jesus, as always, says it best, “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy
burdens and I will, not I might, but I will give you rest.”
May we always rest in the Lord!
AMEN
