The 58 children who
took part in our 2013 Va-
cation Bible School had a
wonderful experience!
The theme was King-
dom Rock: Where Kids
Stand Strong for God,
and that is what they
learned.
They learned that God’s
love, family and friends,
prayer, trusting God, and
the Bible help us stand
strong!
Our director Lia Gyore
and a staff of 43 did a won-
derful job in teaching and
modeling our theme, and
lives were changed.
Our thanks to all who
volunteered and generously
donated to make all of this
happen.
More photos are available
on Facebook at our Faith
Lutheran Church Fan
Page.
We are already thinking
about next year (think
weird animals)!

We reached our
goal of raising
$12,000.00 four
months earlier
than we pledged
to help a congrega-
tion of Maasai Lu-
therans in Tanza-
nia, Africa rebuild
their worship
building after a
windstorm
knocked it down!
They are doing
the finishing work, but
the Lutheran diocese
and our missionary,
Herb Hafermann, asked
for our help in rebuilding
the main structure.
We are waiting for the
final dedication photos,
but meanwhile, Herb and
the diocese sent this oil
on canvas painting of the
Maasai and the animals
they protect as an ex-
pression of their thanks.
It will be framed and
hung in the Conference
Room in our worship
building.
Our thanks to all who
contributed to make this
possible!

In an interview the au-
thor says, “What I say is
that if you know nothing
else about Jesus except
that he was crucified,
you know enough to
understand what a trou-
blemaker this guy must
have been.” That may
be true.
A recent Cornell Uni-
versity study of the most
controversial subjects on
the publicly editable
online encyclopedia
Wikipedia showed that
Jesus is still in the top
10! :-)
A currently controver-
sial book claims that Jesus
was centrally a Zealot, a
political revolutionary,
Jesus, however, stated
and lived the words “my
Kingdom is not of this
world”. John 18:36
If you know nothing
about Jesus except that he
rose from the dead, then
you have the Christian
faith, a living faith in the
living LORD.

THE VISION CORNER
What if we provided the funds to pay our
mortgage, support all our existing ministries, and
call an associate pastor and a minister of music?
What gifts and strengths would we want those
persons to have? What new ministries is God
calling us to do? Who could we reach toward
realizing our mission to introduce people to new
life in Jesus Christ that grows into enthusiastic
living?
Send your thoughts to [email protected] or call
them in to the church at 909 599-3978, or speak
with Pastor Berkedal or a
member of our Church
Council about them. Pray
about how you can help
realize our mission.

Where Kids Stand Strong for God. (see stories, page one)
