News articles are due by July 23 to appear in August’s NewSense.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…” (Check out/Google: Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776)

Today it would read—more appropriately—that all people are created equal. In 1989, the National Council of Churches en-dorsed a new translation – the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible – where it made changes such as this: “I will make you fishers of people…” [from Matthew 4:19] and not “men” as the RSV once said. I said once before in a sermon that my mother didn’t like the change one bit.

What does it mean that “people” are equal—that we all have certain unalienable rights?

It means that there are certain things in this life that cannot be taken away from us or denied to us.

And just what are those rights that cannot be taken away?

Life. Liberty. The Pursuit of Happiness.

What can you and I do to help everyone in this country have life, and have it to the fullest? What can I do personally that helps others pursue liberty – the right to live this life and have a peaceful one at that?

Is that asking too much?

One way is to get active. Join groups that matter. Participate with organizations whose sole purpose is to better humanity. Help feed the hungry, clothe the naked, provide for the home-less. In doing this, you help others have life, liberty, and happi-ness. And—in doing this—you, too, will pursue this joy that comes in giving of oneself as well.

“Back 2 School Picnic” on July 21 is a great example of this; joining us on September 9 at OSLC for a special day of worship and service to the community (details are elsewhere in this newsletter) is another. Sign up at church so we know you’re available. Come and see; come and serve; come and partici-pate in the efforts to create equality for all.

God bless us all – and – God bless America!

Notable year-to-date budget variances (over $500 and 10%) are as follows:

• Office supplies are $1200 below budget

• Synod meeting expense is under budget as most expenses will hit in June

• Associate Pastor health insurance is $600 under budget thus far

• PDO maintenance expense is $3,000 over budget due to the unbudgeted security system

• PDO teacher expense is $1100 over budget

• Property expense has a number of budget variances. They are both favorable and unfavorable and net out to a $1600 or 7% overage, largely due to an unforeseen air conditioner replacement

• Under staff expense, parish nurse expense and workers’ comp are over budget

• Music licenses under worship and music are $800 or 52% over budget.

What is “God’s Work. Our Hands.”?

It is a Sunday of worship and service. Septem-ber 9, 2018. Men, women, youth, and children are needed!

It is a day when as many as 30,000 other ELCA Lutherans across our country will be doing for others, reaching out in very special ways.

We will gather for a special worship together (all in one place at one hour of the morning).

Then, we will take on tasks that will help in the community we know and love.

All you need to do is sign up, then, show up!

Specific tasks – some done at church that morning, and some (for those who are able) will be done out in the community [landscaping, painting, and other jobs needful by those special people we will visit].

What a great way to “practice what we preach/teach”! Won’t you join us?

New Business

Gene Maddox shared with the council the plans for the 10th Anniversary of Heartsong on Sun-day June 24, along with a brief history and update on the Heartsong worship.

Council discussed plans & estimates for the Chancel renovation. Council requested more de-tailed drawings of the renovation. Rob Bailey was asked to work on this for the Council.

The vote last month to develop a Renovation committee was resended, by Ken Loveday. Coun-cil urges to move forward with the initial plans, per Congregational approval.

Council regrets that Barry Schnabel has resigned his position as Stewardship Council Rep. We are grateful for the work he did while serving in this role.

Jay Stafford reported that, financially, May was a month where we were very close to budget; there are still line items in the budget that are exceeding their budget limits. These concerns/needs are being handled.

Pastor Nipper presented info on “God’s Work. Our Hands” Sunday. The date is September 9. We will gather for one service, then, venture into projects for the rest of the Sunday that will assist, support, and lift up the community around us. We need many volunteers for this new outreach Sunday. Signups are in the hallways. Please sign up now!

Heartsong 10th Anniversary

OSLC's Heartsong service marked its tenth anniversary with a special service on June 24. Former OSLC As-sociate Pastor Joseph Bolick presented a special message via video, and the sermon was delivered by Pas-tor Ed Myers. Following the service, those present observed a moment of thanks to those who'd played key roles in Heartsong's founding: Maggie and Jim Flint; John Paul Neas; Zoe Lynda Pine; Pastors Nipper, Bolick, and Myers; Shirley and Owen Boyle; Faith Akin and Gary Shealy; and Patti Hembre. A reception then followed.

The photography was by Deb Soike. To see more Heartsong photos, old and new, go to the OSLC website at www.oslc.church, and click on "Heartsong Worship."

WELCA News The Annual WELCA Farmhouse Retreat “Make a Joyful Noise” on June 9 was a success, thanks to 25 participants, the Retreat Ministry Team, and Pastor Jim. It was a day of Christian fellowship, worship, and song. We missed you if you weren’t able to come and we invite those who have never come to join with us next year as we relax in the presence of God.

Many thanks to Patty and John Paul Neas for their hospitality in hosting this annual event. Thanks also to Berla Smith for hosting the annual WELCA picnic at her home on June 27.

News from the Betty Marshall prayer shawl group – A friend of Betty’s has donated yarn for the group’s projects. Anyone who knits or crochets is invited to use this donated yarn. Please contact Karin McCoy with any questions.

Reminder – Our Circle meetings are taking the sum-mer off and will resume meetings in September as President/Co-President of WELCA for the last few years. She has done a great job and we will miss her leadership.

Charity of June and July

Book Bag Project

Each year Good Samaritan Ministries pre-pares a package of school supplies and clothes for children to start school. The package contains a book bag, school sup-plies, a jacket, 2 changes of clothes includ-ing underwear and socks and a pair of sneakers. Over 500 children qualify for this project.

Just before school starts, Good Sam plans a picnic at Cardinal Park to distribute the packages to the children. There is lots of food and games and volunteers to help dis-tribute the packages.

In the past OSLC has volunteered at the pic-nic as well as contributed money to the pro-ject. Even though Good Sam can purchase the items at a great discount, they still need the funds to be able to purchase.

Since this is one of the largest fund-raising projects OSLC does, we will work on this for the months of June and July. Thanks for your support.

Food Pantry Monetary and food donations are always

welcomed. Your donations make a differ-

ence in many lives. Food items needed:

We cannot accept expired food.

Crackers Soup Dry beans Muffin mix Potato flakes Spaghetti Pasta Canned fruit

Grocery bags given in June—17.

Parish Nurse News…

“LET YOUR FLAG FLY HIGH”...I hope you can see in the picture that the flag is

waving, perhaps due to the wind. When I saw this picture, I immediately

thought about our freedom and independence in the U.S. today. I also thought

about a song I learned in Sunday school as a child about our Freedom in Christ

and letting our flags fly high from the castle of our hearts.

“There’s a flag flying high from the castle of my heart, from the castle of my heart,

from the castle of my heart for the king is in residence there. So let it fly in the sky and

let the whole world know, let the whole world know, let the whole world know that

the King is in residence there.“

I hope you recognize the song and its melody. Sometimes as a child of God, I forget about the price that God

paid for my freedom and independence from sin and deception of evil. I also neglect to remember the im-

portance of allowing the wind of the Holy Spirit to wave the flag in my heart so that others are reminded of

their freedom and independence.

Galatians 5:1– For freedom, Christ set us free. Stand firm then and don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery.

So, let us remember the sacrifice that Christ made for us and with grateful hearts wave our flags high. Be

Blessed Friends. ~Go God! Melissa Malenda, RN-parish nurse

Allergies are crazy this year and for many

who suffer from them it can be a night-

mare! Allergens that trigger respiratory

related symptoms cause major health con-

cerns for people with allergies.

At OSLC we have many who suffer with

respiratory issues. Lets be mindful on Sun-

days and during church functions to wear

our perfumes and colognes in moderation

just in case we come into contact with

people who have allergies. Thank you for

being so caring and considerate to your

brothers and sisters in Christ.

July Musings from the Organ Bench

As a young woman, one of my fa-vorite groups was Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Particularly in-trigued by their song, “Woodstock,” I loved the beat, the sound of their combined voices and instruments. But the arrow that struck my heart was in the refrain:

We are stardust; we are golden, and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.

We all know how that “garden” story ended. Sin crept in, captured Adam and Eve, and whammo! They were out! Out of that incredible paradise – out of the garden!

As Christians we know that Jesus Christ has given us an opportunity to get back to the garden – it’s not anything we do, but a free gift if we love Him and follow His Way! I am so reminded of this each day, as I work in my flower and vegetable gardens. Planting seeds or young plants, tending them (and talking to them), and then keeping weeds at bay so that the beauty of each plant can be wit-nessed has been an incredible part of my spring activities. AND I am reminded of His loving promises!

I, by my own abilities, can’t make these plants – only God can do that. BUT I can participate in the creative growth by being faithful to the laws of nature and agriculture.

We have many opportunities in our lives to be co-creators with God. BUT we have to look for them and then act on them. Are you being a co-creator? Did you know that you can be? I want to share portions of Richard Rohr’s post for 2/18/18. Even if you don’t agree with everything he writes, read this post for the essence of creation’s reflec-tion of God. Happy reading! I love you in Jesus Christ.

Creation Reflects God's Glory The universe itself can be understood as the primary revelation of the divine. —Thomas Berry [1]

The Divine Presence is happening in, through, and amidst every detail of life… [It] penetrates all that ex-ists. Everything in virtue of coming into existence is in relationship to this Source. —Thomas Keating [2]

The incarnation of God did not only happen in Bethle-hem two thousand years ago. It began approximately 14 billion years ago with a moment that we now call “The Big Bang”… God materialized and revealed who God is…“Human life must be traced back to the time when life was deeply one, a Singularity, whereby the intensity of mass-energy exploded into consciousness.” [3] This Singularity provides a solid basis for inherent rever-ence, universal sacrality, and a spiritual ecology that transcends groups and religions.

…“The immense diversity and pluriformity of this crea-tion more perfectly represents God than any one crea-ture alone or by itself.” [4] However, most Christians

thought humans were the only creatures that God cared about, and all else—animals, plants, light, water, soil, minerals—was just “food” for our own sustenance and enjoyment. I do not believe that the Infinitely Loving Source we call God could be so stingy and withholding, and only care about one species—unless that care would lead to care for everything else too, which I would call full consciousness. That is the unique human gift.

God created millions of creatures for millions of years before Homo sapiens came along. Many of these beings are too tiny for us to see or have yet to be discovered; some have seemingly no benefit to human life; and many, like the dinosaurs, lived and died long before we did. Why did they even exist? A number of the Psalms say that creation exists simply to reflect and give glory to God (Psalm 104). The deepest meaning of creation and creatures is their naked existence itself. God has chosen to communicate God’s very Self in multitudinous and diverse shapes of beauty, love, truth, and goodness, each of which manifests another facet of the Divine. (See Job 38-39, Wisdom 13:1-9, Romans 1:20.) Once you can see this, you live in an enchanted and spiritual-ly safe world.

Christians have gotten ourselves into a muddle by not taking incarnation and creation as the body of God se-riously. “Salvation is the direction of creation, and cre-ation is the place of salvation.” [5] All is God’s place, which is our place, which is the only and every place.

I hope that our very suffering now, our crowded pres-ence in this nest that we have largely fouled, will bring us together politically and religiously. The Earth and its life systems, on which we all entirely depend, still have the potential to convert us to a universal maturity. We all breathe the same air and drink the same water. There are no Native, Hindu, Jewish, Christian, or Mus-lim versions of the universal elements. The periodic ta-ble is the same in every country, or as Shakespeare and musician Mandisa expressed it, we all bleed the same. Animals do not care whether they are on the Mexican or the American side of our delusional wall.

Thank You Parish and Staff

Margie Gumm’s brother, Haskel Sykes, died on June

14, 2018 at Holston Valley Hospital, Kingsport.

We give thanks to God for Barbara’s successful knee surgery, and we thank our loving and caring congre-gation for your prayers, cards and telephone calls. Also, we thank Pas-tor Jim and Melissa for their hospital

visits which were a great source of strength and com-fort for us. We are grateful to God!

With thanks, Barbara and Bill Hovey

Being born in to Our Savior has been one of the biggest blessings I could receive. To be raised around so many people that care and love each other and then reflect the care and love upon the giver has helped shape me into the person I am today. I want to thank the entire congregation for guiding me along the path to Christ. Aiden Barger

As a way to create a cost savings in the budget, the office is planning to go digital with the monthly newsletter in January 2019. However, if you are one of our members who does not have the capability to get your newsletter on-line, please let us know and we will continue to mail it to you via the US Postal Service!

Thank you!
