St. Armands Key Lutheran Church March & April 2020 Keynotes
from Pastor Ken
Things are happening at St. Armands Key Lutheran Church! I don’t know about you, but
I’m still on a wee bit of a Christmas high; with lingering memories of Christmas on the Circle,
and the beautiful worship services of Christmas Eve. The joy of
the arrival of our seasonal members, and watching worship
become increasingly well-attended is exciting. The Dixieland
worship services still have my toes tapping.
Walking through our building in the daytime and the evening
reveals just how busy we are in this place: multiple AA groups;
fitness classes; the book group; movie night; Bible study groups;
committee meetings galore planning, dreaming and
implementing our ministries; new connections to our neighbors
through SURE; a new refugee ministry growing by leaps and
bounds; the sound of piano, organ, bell and choir practices fill
the air with music; watching visitors, residents and workers as
they sit in or stroll through our meditation garden; reading letters and cards from people
and groups in the Sarasota/Manatee community who have been blessed in some way by
the tens of thousands of dollars we gift through the SAKLC Foundation and our Social
Ministry Committee; Saturday runners taking a well-earned pit stop thanks to SAKLC’s Oasis
Ministry; the humbling experience of working with an absolutely awesome team of Stephen
Ministers (some in-training) as they share their hearts with their congregation; the behind-
the-scene work that goes into preparing the altar for worship, and the kitchen for
fellowship; marveling at the team of volunteers who work to keep our office working
through its challenges; Sunday School in all its cuteness and wonder; recent workshops
addressing some of the mental health issues faced by many families; the sight and sounds
of families and friends sharing breakfast together each Sunday…. Yikes, the list goes on!
To be sure, there are many things that SAKLC used to do that are no longer part of our
ministry. There is always room for improvement in what we do (as brother Martin would
say, “this is most certainly true!”) And, there are opportunities that will come our way
which we must be prepared to take full advantage of. But, I am in awe of what this
community of faith does – day in and day out. My heart is continually moved by the
lives that are touched and transformed in this congregation, and by this congregation.
And, I am excited by the next chapter of our life together in this place.
Pastor Blyth

A Note from Bob Stobaugh — Our New Congregation President
As I write my first Keynotes entry as SAKLC Congregation President, I’m
blessed to have the dual perspective of being a Church member these past
twenty years, and the most recent past Vice President of the Church
Council. As such, I approach my new role with a sense of calm, patience
and perspective.
Recognizing the tasks ahead of the council this year, I agree with Pastor Ken
and Michael Bodnyk that if there is not a fire, we do not need to pull the fire
alarm. As John Wooden said so well, “be quick, but don’t hurry.”
The focus and goal of our council will be to control the things we can
control and be prayerful about the rest. My pledge is that we will tackle first
the things that require our immediate and undivided attention, while also
being open and responsive to other needs as they arise.
Feel free to reach out to me through: [email protected], or my cell
phone at 941-320-6350. I will do my best to be attentive and responsive.
Yours in Christ,
Bob Stobaugh

March & April 2020
February was another busy musical month here at SAKLC.
Sincere thanks to the Lido Beach Commodores for leading our Dixieland worship on
February 23rd. The congregation loved singing the
old favorites: “In the garden”, “When the saints go
marching in”, “What a friend we have in Jesus”, and
others. It was wonderful to look out at the smiles in
the congregation, and to see all the toes tapping
along!
That same afternoon, we presented Ring Sarasota in
a special concert to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
This professional handbell ensemble wowed the
audience with a variety of musical pieces.
Dedicated to enhancing handbell ringing as an art
form, the Sarasota‐based group under the direction of former Navy bandleader Rick
Holdsworth showcases over 200 bells rung by 15 ringers to create a symphony of sound
with special effects mimicking the piccolo, percussion, chimes, and trombone, even the
Tibetan singing bowl, Ring Sarasota attracts member ringers from as far north as Tampa
Bay and as far south as Fort Myers.
I want to sincerely thank everyone who supported our
special Ring Sarasota concert by attending the
program (we had a great audience!) and who made
contributions towards the cost of the concert.
Earlier in the month, we were so fortunate to have
Carey Morrisson and her sister, Rhoda Olson, beautify
our worship with several piano duets during worship.
We are so fortunate to have such talented musicians in
our own congregation!
Do you also notice that time seems to be flying by so quickly? It feels like Christmas was
just yesterday, and here we are entering the season of Lent; Easter Sunday is just over 40
days away!
I do love Christmas. Right after Halloween, the Christmas CDs and radio stations start
playing in my car (Shhh! Don’t tell the pastor!). But as much as I love the joy and
celebration of the season surrounding Christ’s birth, the season of Lent and Easter is, for
me, the most moving season of the year.
St. Armands Key Lutheran Church March & April 2020 Keynotes
When I was teaching, my younger students would tell me that Lent is the “sad time
before Easter”. In some sense, there is a sadness during this time; I might also say a
starkness and uneasiness, too. Many churches across denominations try to reflect this by
using the organ and instruments less - and some not at all! We are no longer allowed to
use the word “Alleluia” in worship (our SAKLC young people buried the ‘Alleluias’ on 2/23
during worship). Some churches veil their crosses.
For myself, I like the image of Lent as a journey. It is a 40 day trip through the wilderness
that culminates in baptism (at the great Vigil of Easter) and resurrection (Easter Sunday).
Along the way, we are invited into a time of self-reflection, prayer, fasting, and the
practice of charity. At SAKLC, our hymns and anthem texts will examine themes of a
journey, wilderness, prayer, mercy, and others. “There in God’s Garden” (ELW 342) is a
hymn we will introduce to the congregation this season. Referencing the journey (or
search) we are all about to embark on, in the 4th verse, we will proclaim:
This is my ending, this my resurrection;
into your hands, Lord, I commit my spirit.
This have I searched for; now I can possess it.
This ground is holy.
There is some wonderful music to look forward to in the next two months.
Our Sounds al Fresco series will resume during the months of March and April. Watch the
church bulletin, Connections email, and Facebook page for information and dates.
There will be several special weekday afternoon concerts during Lent.
On Wednesday April 1st at 2pm, our SAKLC ensembles (Team Spirit, Chancel Choir,
SAKLC Ringers) will perform a special Lenten concert. These musicians work so hard all
throughout the year to beautify our liturgies. Please plan to attend this program!
On March 23 at 7pm, our four Choral Scholars will present a special evening concert in
Fellowship Hall. These four young people give so much to our church / music program
each week. I hope you’ll consider coming out to support them!
The Chancel Choir will be performing movements from Gabriel Faure’s “Requiem” on
Palm Sunday.
Sincere thanks for your continued support of SAKLC’s Music Ministry,
Michael J. Bodnyk, Minister of Music

APOCRYPHAL CONVERSATIONS TO CONTINUE

Attendance at SAKLC’s mid-week {Thursday morning} Study Fellowship has hit record highs
this educational season! There has been great interest shown in an on-going video lecture
series entitled ‘The Apocryphal Jesus,’ a recent {2018} production of the Great Courses Plus
program. Distinguished scholar Dr. David Brakke {currently Chair of Christian Studies @ Ohio
State University) is the presenter. SAKLC member Herb Mohlenhoff (retired Lutheran Pastor)
is group facilitator. Pr. Herb writes and publishes {via email & by request} a weekly Study
Guide containing overviews of each video lecture, including translated excerpts from, and
comments about, most of the ancient texts. The current study series continues until the end
of April, following this published schedule:
March 5 – “Social Disruption in The Acts of Paul.”
March 12 - “Thecla: Independent Woman of the Apocrypha”

COMMISSIONING OF NEW STEPHEN MINISTERS
Very soon our congregation will undertake a commissioning!
Joining the SAKLC Stephen Ministry team will be: Nancy
Cooperrider, Eleanor F. Schaefer. Robert Schmidtke, and Jackie
Whalen.
Throughout history, when God has called people to special ministry, members of their
community have commissioned them for the important new work they are taking on.
During March/April we invite you to help carry on that biblical tradition by being a part of
commissioning those who have responded to God’s call to be part of our congregation’s
Stephen Ministry program.
Our Stephen Ministers have already completed substantial training {50+ hours} to equip
them for their task. We will now lay hands on them, pray for them, and send them out to
minister, asking for God’s blessing and the Spirit’s wisdom and power. Commissioning offers
an opportunity to show your support for this ministry. Our Stephen Ministers will be
depending on that support in the time ahead as they assume the duties of their ministry.
How can we help? First of all, we can pray for our Stephen Leaders, our Stephen Ministers,
and their care receivers. This ministry calls for both time and effort. At times they may feel
tired, discouraged, or convinced that they are not accomplishing anything. The assurance
of our prayers and appreciation will help them keep moving forward.
We can also affirm and show our appreciation for this valuable ministry. We can tell them
how much their hard work means to us, tell others how much we value our Stephen Ministry,
and focus attention on our Stephen Ministers to bless and affirm them in special ways. We
can become involved in this ministry in many ways. Some of us may recognize a call to use
our special gifts in this ministry and may apply to be part of our Stephen Ministry team.
Others may accept the care of a Stephen Minister. We can be ministers of referral,
watching for people in need and suggesting a Stephen Minister’s care.
As our newly trained Stephen Ministers are commissioned, let us thank God for all that they
will bring to this congregation in providing care to others, and let us promise them our daily
prayer and support as we send them out to minister among us! Welcome: Nancy, Eleanor,
Bob, and Jackie!
SAKLC’s Stephen Ministry Team will meet for Supervision and Continuing Education on
Mondays March 16th and April 20th @ 6:30 PM.

St. Armands Key Lutheran Church March & April 2020 Keynotes
Sharing and Serving
There’s a Lutheran congregation in Houston, Texas named Christ the Servant Lutheran
Church. (It’s been Louise’s and my church home since 2004.) The mission statement of the
congregation is “Living our name with passion and purpose”.
So, names and their meaning have great importance to many people. When we’re intro-
duced, we may say (for example), “My name is Edwin, but you can call me Buzz.” What-
ever our own name may be – Bill or Bob or Buzz – there’s one name we share, and that is
“Christian”. In the words of a children’s hymn, “I was made a Christian when my name was
given, One of God’s dear children and an heir of heaven.”
Knowing that our name is Christian, what does that mean for us? What does claiming that
name require? As followers of Christ, we look to Him and find that Jesus made it both sim-
ple and difficult. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul,
with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” (Luke 10:27
NRSV, citing Deuteronomy 6:5). In the parable of the Good Samaritan, the “enemy” turned
out to be the neighbor, as the Samaritan shared what he had (time, attention, money for
treatment and care), thereby serving the injured traveler’s needs.
How do we Christians share and serve? It’s not a question I can or will answer. Each of us
must look inwardly and remember that we are named Christian. May we all live that name
with passion and purpose.
A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
and favor is better than silver or gold. (Proverbs 22:1, NRSV)

Social Ministry
"For I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and
you visited me, naked and you clothed me… " Matthew 25:35
Social Ministry serves as a liaison for our congregation as we strive to live out God’s
instruction to help and love others as he would. This year with your support, we hope to
serve two additional new agencies in addition to the eight agencies we have served in
the past:
Second Chance - Last Opportunity – provides clients with essential skills so they can
manage their lives more productively. SCLO programs include life-management skills
training, parenting skills training, counseling, mentoring, HIV-AIDS education and
counseling, summer and after-school youth programs, food, clothing and shelter referrals
and food distribution. The positive effect this organization has had on the people of
Newtown is remarkable and demonstrable.
Suncoast Center for Independent Living – Empowers people with disabilities to
Independence. Their goal is to help people live independently and with dignity by
offering programs that support employment, economic self-sufficiency, independence
and inclusion in our community. Their services are offered free of charge regardless of
age, education or disability.
Social Ministry funds come from congregational gifts/donations as funding is not
included in the church’s annual budget. With your support, we can do much to help
those less fortunate in our community. Social Ministry donation envelopes are available
in church pews, the bi-monthly envelope mailing and individual checks dropped in the
collection plate or mailed directly to the church. Please make checks payable to SAKLC
and enter Social Ministry in the memo section.

Refugee Committee Funding and Initiatives
The Refugee Committee has received a $6000 grant from the
SAKLC Foundation as seed money for its initiatives to help ref-
ugees resettle in our community and become self-
sufficient. The Committee is coordinating with Lutheran Ser-
vices Florida (LSF) in Sarasota in these efforts. LSF provides an
array of services, including assistance with housing, finding
and retaining employment, learning English as a second lan-
guage, orienting to our culture, obtaining work permits, and navigating the
immigration process towards US citizenship.
Ways SAKLC can help refugees:
It can be a financial burden for refugees to pay the federal filing
fees related to work permits and other processes leading up to ob-
taining their citizenship (e.g., $1170 for Certificate of Citizen-
ship). SAKLC funds may help pay up to 50% of fees for refugees
identified by LSF as needing assistance.
As refugees establish or move to their new homes, they may need
furnishings and other household items. As we learn of needs from
LSF, members can assist with donating items.
Learning English as a second language (especially conversational)
enables refugees to adapt to their new environment and find em-
ployment. Members can arrange to tutor refugees at the LSF office
or meet informally with them for conversations, or accompany them
to do shopping or other activities.
For Christmas 2019, we donated baskets of household items and chil-
dren’s toys to LSF to distribute to refugee families. There may be other oc-
casions when we may assist LSF with special projects or activities they pro-
vide to refugee families.
