Iona is a tiny and beautiful Hebridean
island off the west coast of Scotland,
cradle of Christianity in Scotland,
where in 563 AD the Irish monk
Columba established a monastic
settlement that evangelized large
parts of Scotland and the north of
England and became an important
center of European Christianity. In the
Middle Ages, it became the site of a
Benedictine abbey, and over the
centuries it has attracted many
thousands of people on their own
pilgrim journeys. (excerpt from Iona
Community website)
While I was in Scotland in May, I took the
opportunity to stay on Iona for a week with the
Iona Community. The Iona Community is an
ecumenical Christian community committed to
seeking new ways of living the Gospel in
today’s world. The Iona Community is made
up of a resident group of 25 people and
around 30 volunteers from all over the world
who worship, work, and live together at the
Iona Abbey and the Macleod Center. Then
there are folks like me (sometimes over 110 in
any given week) who come to the island
hoping to share with the staff and volunteers
this unique experience of living in community
through worship, work, discussion, and
relaxation.
Honestly, my time on Iona was a highlight of
the whole Scotland trip! The island of Iona
itself is a beautiful experience with rocky hills
surrounded by gently rolling green fields and
farmlands that stretch out and end in beaches.
To say that I enjoyed hiking all over the island
is an understatement. There is a special
quality about Iona. It is mystical and ancient
and sacred. I felt as if I was walking on holy
ground.
The beauty of the island is complimented by
the beauty of the people living and working
and worshipping there. I was blessed to make
the acquaintance of other pilgrims to Iona from
Holland, Canada, Uganda, Sweden, England,
Germany, the United States, and other parts of
Scotland. I connected with a woman, Fiona
from Scotland, who is discerning a call to
ministry. We had lovely conversations about
what ministry is like for women. I met a young
man, Isaac from Ohio, a volunteer at Iona who
is hoping to get a teaching position at LSU in
their film department. I have exchanged texts
with him since, and he has been given the
position!!! YAY!!! I had a blast joking with John,
the burly bartender at the local pub on the
island.
In the closing session, our facilitator asked our
group to write three things we came to the
island with and three things we were leaving
with. I wrote, “I came with lots of stress and
some questions about my way forward in
ministry. I am leaving with restored calm,
renewed sense of ministry, and most of all, a
deeper relationship with my friend and
colleague Amy.” I told Amy this last bit later as
we were walking to worship. She confessed
she wrote the same thing! I give thanks to God
for this holy time, holy place and holy rest. I
give thanks for new friends in Christ. I give
thanks for my friend and colleague Deacon
Amy. I give thanks to God for you, Salem
community, and the ministry we share “as
servants of Christ and stewards of the
mysteries of God.” (1 Corinthians 4:1)
God is indeed good, dear people! I pray
whether you find yourself traveling far away or
staying close to home this summer, may you
also find a holy time, a holy place, and a holy
rest so that you
may be
renewed in
body, mind, and
spirit! I pray you
make new
friends and
deepen
relationships
with old friends!
Blessings,
Pastor Kara

We Are Gathered
Support Group for Healing
Sunday at Keystone Park
As individuals, we each stand in need of
healing. We all also belong to and are
connected to families, communities,
countries, and a world in need of healing.
The ministry of healing is central to our life
in Christ.
On Sunday June 12, we enjoyed the
beauty of our Earth during worship,
followed by food and fellowship. We
came together as a community while
basking in God’s wonderful creation Earth and all that is in it!
During the month of July, Salem will offer
2 opportunities every week for people in
need of healing words, prayer and the
laying on of hands to gather together and
find support in community. The focus for the
month will be healing from loss, especially
the loss of loved ones due to death. Each
gathering will include Scripture reading,
healing prayer, and time to share how the
loss of loved ones affects our lives, how we
cope with it, and how we find healing.
God
gathers us
into the
joy of
community!
You are invited to join the Support Group for
Healing on Wednesday afternoons in July
from 1-2 pm OR Wednesday evenings in
July from 7:30-8:30. And you are certainly
welcome to attend all of them! No need to
call ahead or sign up, just come as you feel
moved by the Spirit and invite anyone else

Salem People Sharing Their Time, Talent & Resources…
As a congregation we are not always
aware of the projects that are tackled by
our Property Committee, Men’s Work
Day crew, Youth & Family, as well as
individuals. Only when they are not
accomplished do we begin to notice.
How many of us could tell others what
improvements have been done in our
facility? Mostly, these men and women
work behind the scenes to faithfully
steward our facilities and property.
In the last 6 months they have
accomplished; steeple access, door
lock, & water fountain repair, had bricks
of the church repointed, moved a pew
to allow better wheelchair access,
cleaned the floor in Newhouse Hall,
installed hooks, changed dozens of light
bulbs, weeded, mulched, trimmed
hedges, worked in Jobe garden and
repaired our mower.
We give thanks for these people who
share their time, talent & resources to
help. If you would like to help in the
maintenance and care of our church,
please contact Marion Earnest.
Sunday August 14 at the Delmont Lions
2nd Annual Car Show, Social Ministry
will be hosting a food booth to help

Starting Fall 2016!!!
Christian Education Committee is
excited to announce the start of
Colaborate: Lutheran Confirmation at
Salem this coming fall! Lutheran
theology and tradition has always
emphasized both teaching and learning
that leads people into deeper
engagement with the Bible, faith, and
what it means to be Christian. This is
exactly what Colaborate: Lutheran
Confirmation seeks to do! It has been
written and designed by a team of
Lutheran pastors, theologians, and
youth ministry practitioners who know
the Bible, Lutheran doctrine, and young
people!
Colaborate is an innovative curriculum
that unpacks students’ assumptions,
past knowledge, and curiosity about the
Bible, Lutheran history, and the Small
Catechism. The full program includes
4 units covering Old Testament, New
Testament, Lutheran history &
catechism, and Lutheran living. All 4
units will be taught by Pastor Kara over
a 2 year period on a rotating basis. All
classes will be held at Salem in
Newhouse Hall on Sundays (every 2
weeks) from 5-7pm, including dinner for
the students.
PAGE 6
How does a Colaborate lesson work?
Each lesson includes three parts:
Framing the Problem, Teaching &
Learning, and Project & Closing.
Students will start with a question meant
to create some tension. That tension
gets heightened as the class watches
the video. Then students engage the
question through an infographic full of
activities, more questions, theological
content, and Bible passages meant to
give them the information they need to
start answering the question. Finally,
students are given opportunities to
articulate what they’ve discovered and
share their thoughts with others.
Colaborate: Lutheran Confirmation
will kick off with a student/parent
information session on Sunday,
September 11, at 1:00pm following
Rally Day Activities and Potluck. It is
imperative that students and their
parents and/or guardians attend this
session. At this time, students will
receive a copy of the student handbook,
study Bible, class schedule, and
expectations of the confirmation
program from Pastor Kara.
For more information, or to speak
with Pastor whether your youth is
ready for Confirmation, or to sign up,
please contact Pastor Kara by email
or phone:
[email protected]
724-468-4189.

Problem-Based Learning
helps students answer
the question, "So
what?"
Fearless Faith Formation
Encourages students to
bring their questions and
curiosity about Lutheran
doctrine and history.
Hands-on projects create
a strong connection to the
content.
Students will expand and
deepen their understanding
of concepts through projects
that range from handbookbased questions and
activities, to group art
projects, to games and offsite explorations.
| July 2016
Hands-on investigative
learning that leads to
deep engagement with
the Bible, faith, and what
it means to be a Christian
Allows students to
discover for themselves
the ways the doctrines,
traditions, and beliefs of
their faith are relevant to
their lives. This style of
learning compels them to
search out meaningful
answers that will be
integral in their faith
formation.
Comprehensive Bible Study
Students will engage in
compelling conversation about
God and what it means to
follow Jesus as they dig into
the Bible.
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been
given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey
everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the
end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

May 22, Baptism of Austin JayThompson son of
Noele & Stephen Thompson
& grandson of Bob & Anne Thompson.
When asked her secret to such a
long life, she replied “No idea, I just
did it!” Also asked how it feels to be
nearly 100, she answered “It feels
exactly the same!”
Vera was 1 of 6 children with a sister Velma and 5
brothers. Vera married Arthur DeFrances. Art (Archie)
and she enjoyed their love of music. Archie played
saxophone in his band, “Art DeFrances and His Band of
Renown.” They had 5 children: Betty, Harry & Harriett twins, Larry, & Arrol. She says her greatest
accomplishment was raising her family.
When asked what some of her favorite things are and if
she likes chocolate, Vera rolled her eyes and said “A
person would be silly not to like candy” and shared that
she especially loves chocolate! Her other favorite
things: family - first & foremost, shades of blue, music mainly Polka, Italian food or a nice roast beef, and
American Beauty roses.

Beyond Our Walls
Report on the Campaign as of 2015:
As members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America (ELCA), we share a living, daring confidence
in God’s grace. This faith gives us the courage to
proclaim the good news to a world that is longing
to hear it. It sets us free to love and serve our
neighbors.
Always Being Made New: The Campaign for the
ELCA is the first-ever, five-year
comprehensive campaign for our church. The
campaign seeks to raise $198 million in support of
new and expanded churchwide ministries above and
beyond those supported by your regular weekly
offerings. This goal represents a 64 percent increase
in designated funding for the ELCA’s existing and new
ministry initiatives. In our first 25 years together as
the ELCA, there is much to celebrate. And yet, God is
calling us to do more. Through this campaign we can:
• Share the gospel
• Renew and begin new congregations
• Serve globally
• End poverty and hunger
• Overcome malaria
• Train leaders
• Engage young people in the life of this church
• Send and support ELCA missionaries
Please pray for members of the ELCA and our
church’s life-changing, life-sustaining ministries and
consider making a gift to the campaign to support
ministries.
PAGE 10
As of last year the campaign reached $80 million
—or 40 percent—of our $198 million, five year
goal, allowing important work to begin and the
expansion of existing ministries. Here are some
of the campaign gifts in action due to the
generous giving of people like you in ELCA
congregations and communities and affiliate
organizations:
62 New-start ministries welcomed into the ELCA
in 2015
235 Seminary students received an ELCA Fund
for Leaders scholarship in the 2015-2016
academic year
73 Young Adults in Global Mission sent into a
year of service in August 2015
6 International women received a full-tuition
scholarship in the 2015-2016 academic
year
34 International women participated in an
International Leaders seminar in
Wittenberg, Germany
224 Missionaries served with the ELCA during
2015
14 Malaria programs in Africa received support
from the ELCA Malaria Campaign
60 Countries around the world have ELCA World
Hunger supported programs
17 Renewing Congregations grants distributed
through the campaign in 2015
“At a time when people are concerned about
contracting resources, we see generosity of our
members expanding. At a time when some
wonder if the church has the capacity to be
engaged in the world, we are actually extending
our work. Truly, together we can do more. Thank
you for your continued prayers and support.”

Stewardship principle of the month “ Give
willingly.”
by: Jennifer Lichok
What does it mean to give willingly? When I ask myself this question, it seems
like there is a pretty straightforward answer. To give willingly is to give
voluntarily. We give not because we have to, but because we want to. We can
give our time, our talents, and our resources.
“for, as I can
testify, they
voluntarily
gave…”
2 Corinthians 8:3
What inspires us to give willingly? That’s also pretty straightforward – God
does. Through the Holy Spirit, we are moved to give. Maybe we give our time by
volunteering at the church or with an organization that seeks to help those around us. Or maybe we give
our talents either through our chosen profession or by joining a group within the church where we can
use our gifts. Or maybe we give our resources through our weekly offering or by supporting the ministries
of the church locally or worldwide. Whatever way or ways we give, let us offer thanks to God for moving
us to give willingly!
