So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for

Pauls letter to the Galatian Church, chapter 6, verse 10 I want to break from the stories that we have heard over these past few months to remind us of the many opportunities available for us in the Church. (When I mention Church I want us to understand what we proclaim in the Nicene Creed, the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. The whole body of Christ connected by Gods Holy Spirit throughout the world.) Coming on the heels of this newsletter is Vacation Bible School. I know that the Christian Education Ministry Team has been working hard for months on this years VBS. As you have heard, its a community-wide endeavor and we want to support it in as many ways as possible. The VBS will need hands on help, teachers, people to set up and take down things, lots of food and snacks, drinks, a few bus drivers for the older youth who will be doing service projects in the community, and a host of other volunteers. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated and needed. This is one of the major outreach ministries of Zions where we reach the lives of many children and their families. This is the way we show the community that we are the Body of Christ, by working together with other congregations for the faith development and education of these youth! I will be at Defiance College helping out and I know that many others will be also! Consider helping out; make sure you contact the office, Kelly Worline or Vickie Stephens as soon as possible. This fall, I will start a class based on the books of two, excellent women theologians who confront the challenges of the 21st Century Church: Phyllis Tickle and Diana Butler Bass. These two have written extensively on a wide variety of topics, but we will concentrate on one book from each: Tickles, The Great Emergence and Bass Christianity for the Rest of Us. Together with some others from the community, we will wrestle with the growing challenges and concerns of the modern church community and more specifically, how we change and adapt to the growing challenges as they meet our own communities. The class will be another way for us to connect as the Body of Christ and struggle honestly and openly. Two classes will be offered, one in the morning and one in the evening. The beginning date is Thursday, 5 September; we will meet twice a month on the 1st and 2nd Thursday. Have you ever wanted to travel? Have you ever wished you could go overseas? How about to Africa or to Eastern Europe? Serbia, in Eastern Europe, and Tanzania, in Africa, are both beautiful countries, neither of which I have visited. Our Outreach Ministry Team is now working to help us get involved with the Christians in these two countries. In Serbia, the ELCA works with the Slovak Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Augsburg Confession in Serbia-Montenegro and in Tanzania, we companion with the Dodoma Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT). Our faith grows and the faith of our fellow believers across the ocean grows as we make and deepen these relationships. As plans are developed, you will receive much more information about missionary sponsorship. So, three opportunities are becoming available for us: (1)VBS, (2)study together and (3)development of missionary relationships. How can you get involved? How can you help change the lives of those in our community and abroad? As Paul has said to the Galatians, let us work together for the good of all That good begins in Christ and stretches out to the world through our open hands, ready to receive and ready to give. Peace, Pr Tim

2013 SYNOD ASSEMBLY REPORT

One in Christ...yet Always Being Made New! Where? At the foot of the cross...that was the focus and theme of the Northwestern Ohio Synod's (NWOS) Assembly 2013. Our Oneness in Christ was celebrated in many ways including: the attendance and participation of a 7-person delegation from the NWOS Companion Synod, the Dodoma Diocese in Tanzania, led by Assistant to the Bishop Samwel Mshana who presided at the Sending Eucharist; a special "Gentle Worship" service that opened Assembly - an experience provided by the NWOS Disabilities Awareness Task Force and Emanuel, Marion, OH as a service created for people and families living with Autism, hearing and visual challenges, mental illness, etc.; and the passing of two significant resolutions for intentional ministries with People Living with Mental Illness and People Living in Poverty. Keynote speaker, Rev. Dr. Stephen Bouman, ELCA helped voting members dwell at the foot of the cross while surprise visitors and clowns Daisy, Skittles, and their friends from St. Mark, Toledo brought a word of Grace to that dwelling place. With joy this Assembly dedicated a new altar and NWOS paraments and celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania along with the ELCA's 25th Anniversary! Through song, prayers, business, fun, reunions, and making new friends, vendor displays, resources, ingathering of food and donations for the NWOS four agencies: Lutheran Social Services of NW Ohio, Filling Homes, Lutheran Homes Society and Lutheran Home of Mercy, Bishop Marcus Lohrmann and this synod experienced a Oneness in Christ and reminder that together, at the foot of the cross, we are Always Being Made New!

TEMPLE TALK with LOU LEVY July 21, 2013

More must be done in the area of mental health to stop gun violence. We have heard this much over the last few months. Lou Levy will focus on mental health and how illnesses such as depression, anxiety disorders and others really are common. How important it is for family and friends to understand that these are medical illnesses just like heart disease and diabetes. And, most important of all, that persons suffering from such illnesses can get help and do get better, especially when they have a strong, caring support network around them. He will briefly explain how caring people can help family, friends and others with mental issues and how to find the help that is neededespecially for persons without good health insurance or financial resources. This fall, Lou will be completing 20 years with the Four County ADAMhs Board where he has done a little bit of everything, but especially community relations and work with area mental health and addiction agencies, mental health support groups and the local NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) chapter. The ADAMhs Board works to make sure funding and services are available for lower income individuals and families with mental health and addiction issues in Defiance, Fulton, Henry and Williams counties.

SAY CHEESE!

DEACON SUPPORT TEAM

Included in the last few months Trumpets were articles about your deacons. If you were not aware of your deacon, do you now know her or him? We hope you have a sincere interest in getting to know your deacon as a present and future friend and confidant. Our Pastor is the best resource with whom to discuss questions and concerns, but your deacon can also serve you in a similar way. Deacons are not exempt from having a deacon of their own. At times we need someone willing to listen and we turn to our deacon. As mentioned the last several months, deacons meet bi-monthly to discuss a variety of topics, but more importantly we are available for you when your needs might require someone to talk with other than Pastor Tim occasionally. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve the members of Zions Lutheran Church and we encourage you to reach out to your deacon whenever the need arises. If you are unsure about your deacon, please call the church office for assistance. Dick Anderson

FOOD PANTRY
Our Innkeeper guests are continually thankful for the food and supplies given by our members and others throughout the community. A few items have moved to the top of our priority list SPAGHETTI, CEREAL, RAMEN NOODLES, CANNED FRUIT, PEANUT BUTTER, CANNED TUNA AND OTHER MEATS, TOILET PAPER AND BOTTLED FRUIT JUICES. In order to continue to serve their total needs, we also ask that you consider giving the following items: chicken noodle soup, toothpaste, shaving gel, pudding, paper towels, detergent, boxed skillet meals, boxed potatoes, dry pasta noodles, bottled water, spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, microwave popcorn, salad dressing and cooking oil. On behalf of Diana Groll and myself, we thank you for your ongoing generosity. Dick Anderson
