Requiem by Gabriel Fauré - Fox Point Lutheran Church

Engaging Enthusiastic Followers of Jesus
May 17, 2013
Requiem by Gabriel Fauré
Sunday, June 2
9:00 and 10:30 services
Our Chancel Choir, along with an orchestra comprised of local professionals and FPLC members, will
present this amazingly beautiful piece of music in worship. Featured soloists are Ian Joyal and Rachel
Stuen.
Traditionally the Roman Catholic Mass for the dead, the Requiem genre has become popular in all
Christian traditions for its texts of prayer, supplication, and enduring hope. Gabriel Fauré, working in
Paris, was a highly acclaimed organist and a composer of piano music and small-scale instrumental
pieces. He completed his Requiem in 1893, shortly after the death of both of his parents. He said, “I see
death…as a joyful deliverance, an aspiration toward a happiness beyond the grave, rather than as a
painful experience”.
This message comes across in the music, and its beauty and transcendence have helped to make it a
mainstay of choral literature. Join us for this powerful music presentation.
Holy Communion Schedule
Because of the Requiem performance on June 2, Holy Communion will be celebrated on June 9 and 16,
at both the 9:00 and 10:30 worship services.
Summer Worship
Worship continues through the summer at 9:00 and 10:30. Summer Sunday school will be held
at both the 9:00 and 10:30 services. It is for current preschoolers and those who are currently
in K5 through 3rd grade.

Living Healthy Is A Prayer
BAKE, DELIVER & VISIT
"In April and May, FPLC confirmands have been finishing their required service opportunities for the year and jumped
at an amazing opportunity we offered to make some special connections with our senior members. Through "Bake,
Deliver & Visit", 7th and 8th graders called senior members, baked them a treat and went to visit with them at their place
of residence. Many of the pairs talked about being a member at FPLC and what interests they have in common. As part
of the requirement, confirmands were to send a photo of themselves with their new friend; it was truly touching to see
these photos with both our newest and oldest church members smiling ear to ear. This opportunity brought many
confirmands outside their comfort zones, but all of them have expressed their appreciation for doing so and mentioned
the pleasant surprises that doing this wonderful service for others brought into their lives."
- Morgan Oldenburg, FPLC Confirmation Ministry
"Hi, my name is Michael Muth and I recently had the joy of participating in Fox Point's "Bake,
Deliver, and Visit" through Confirmation. I got to visit with Marion Pohlman at East Castle a
couple weeks ago where I brought her cookies I made, but the real reason was to visit with her.
We talked about her old job as a German teacher at Whitefish Bay and about some vacations and
places we have visited. We had a lot of fun and my mom and I even offered to take her to church
sometimes and we did that next Sunday. She enjoyed seeing the service and old friends and I
enjoyed getting to meet a new person. It was so much fun taking part in such a unique
opportunity that I recommend anyone to try and do this. It is super easy and you learn something
new as well as meet someone new."
- Michael Muth, 8th grade, Whitefish Bay Middle School
"For my last outreach service opportunity, I went to visit an elderly church member at New
Castle. I met Edna Allen and she stole my heart! Edna was very funny and sweet and she loved
to laugh. I made my new friend blueberry muffins and she loved them. Edna expressed her
feelings by saying how depressed she was about only being able to sit in her bed and
wheelchair. By seeing Edna, I realized how lucky I am to have a healthy body that works and I
am able to move and play sports. Through this outreach service program, I made a new
friendship in the church and I look forward to visiting Edna again sometime soon."
- Grace Karegeannes :), 8th grade, Lake Shore Middle School
"Our confirmation students recently delivered baked goods to some of our senior members. They not only fed their
stomachs but also their souls. Nadene Kramer, who lost her husband, David, recently was deeply touched by this gesture.
She called me to say what a nice young man Dylan was. Many of our senior members are in nursing homes and have
very few visitors. The connections these young men and women made with them were very special. Many others live
alone and often feel isolated from society. This display of compassion, for them, was priceless.
We often think that a smile or small gesture of kindness may be insignificant but they are not. We never know what kind
of impact we have on one another. God delights in our efforts to make others feel loved and appreciated. I pray these
relationships will continue to grow so both our youth and seniors are blessed in countless ways.
“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
Mother Teresa

The Golf Classic Is NOT Just A Swingin’ Good Time!
June 22, 2013
FPLC Charity Golf Classic is mor e than fr iends having fun. The key wor d is CHARITY. The pur pose
is to serve by adding to the funds used in all our missions and ministries. ALL net proceeds go to important
places:
 Serenity Inn
 All Peoples and Cross churches who provide broad community programming
 Kujichagulia Center/Seedfolks
 Shoreline Interfaith, a neighborhood outreach program for the elderly
 The Gathering provides thousands of meals for Milwaukee’s homeless
 Four food pantries
 Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity
 Support of preschools in Tanzania
So find your niche and join us on this day of friendship, competition, and giving:
Be a sponsor – you can give a cash donation to promote a specialty hole or as a general contribution
toward the event. Whatever you can do will be a blessing. Either of these will mean that our net profit
will be that much higher.
Be a volunteer – you’ll have a great time spending the day on the course without the frustration of trying
to hit that little white ball.
Congratulate the winners or commiserate with the un-winners at a fabulous cocktail and appetizer
social at the 19th hole for a mere $20 a person.
Participate in the enhanced raffle, which includes thr ee new major pr ize packages (two over night
stay packages and a luxury box at Miller Park to watch the Br ewer s beat the Reds) that you don’t
want to pass up. As only a limited amount of tickets will be sold for these three packages, look for the
raffle table after upcoming church services.
And, of course – BE A PLAYER! Grab some guys / call the girls! Enter your own foursome (men,
women, mixed) or simply apply to be a part of the day and we’ll match you up with 3 others.
“But just as you excel in everything – in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in your complete earnestness, and
love for [one another] – see that you also excel in the grace of giving” 2 Corinthians 8:7
Pick up a brochure in the Welcome Area, get your questions answered and request an eBROCHURE be sent to
you by sending an email to [email protected], or call Allen Cooper at 262-960-4077.
Dinner Fellowship Signup
If you were moved to volunteer after seeing and hearing from our outreach partners on Outreach Sunday,
consider taking dinner to Serenity Inn. Three times a month our members prepare a meal at home, take it
warm to the Inn, and have dinner and fellowship with the residents. The conversation over dinner is edifying,
especially for our young people.
Our assigned dates are the second Thursday, the third Friday, and the fourth Wednesday of each month.
Thursdays: Aug. 8, Sept. 12, Nov. 14, Dec. 12, Fridays: June 21, July 19, Sept. 20, Oct. 18, Nov. 15, Dec. 20,
Wednesdays: July 24, Sept. 25, Oct. 23, Nov. 27, Dec. 25.
Because there is now a full house, 12 residents, the Inn is at capacity! We on the SI Board have been waiting
for this day, but it is a lot for one family to take on. You may want to consider signing up with another family
to lighten the shopping/cooking load.
See the signup at the Outreach Kiosk, contact Lorraine Buehler at 414-964-8933 [email protected], or go to

Can You Help Us?
A teacher affects eternity: he can never tell
where his influence stops.
Henry Adams
The sign-up board for Sunday school teaching for the
2013-2014 year is now downstairs.
Thank you to all the parents and volunteers who
taught Sunday school this year. There is no greater
gift we can give our children than a healthy faith. It
has been said that nine-tenths of education is
encouragement, and our teachers this year did just
that. They encouraged our kids to come to church
and Sunday school; they encouraged them to ask
questions; they encouraged them not to worry when
they didn’t know an answer; and most important,
they encouraged them to want to learn more about
God and Jesus.
If you have a child who will be entering K5-6th
grade, we ask that you sign up for one 4-week
rotation of Sunday school.
We need you! And all you need is enthusiasm—no
Bible knowledge necessary! One of the great things
about Sunday school is that you can learn with your
child. And the kids are so proud when their parents
join them in their faith journey.
Thank you for taking the time to encourage! I hope
to see you all next year!
If you have any questions, please contact Julie
Schlifske at [email protected].
And remember, you don’t need to be a parent to
teach. We encourage anyone who would like to help
our children grow in their faith to join us.

Italy, CPK & Small Groups!

Summer ‘Lite’ Small Groups
Our Chancel Choir is traveling to Italy in 2014 for a
choral festival. We'll join forces with other choirs
from around the country for a joint concert, sing at a
mass at St. Peter's Basilica, and see the sights of
Rome, Vatican City, Tuscany, Florence, and Venice.
We depart the U.S. on June 14, and return home
June 23.
Our summer small group offerings are designed to
give you a chance to meet new congregational
members and to keep your current connections active
during the summer. We have a wide variety of
groups that will meet periodically in June, July and
August. Please sign up for all events you are
interested in. The group leader will follow up with
you to coordinate mutually agreeable dates and to
give you the final details.
Dr. Eric Stark of Butler University is our conductor
for these special performances, and he is a rising star
in the choral conducting world. An opportunity to
work with him is not to be missed! KI Concerts
sponsors such concerts and festivals all over the
world, and they have arranged this program with
groups such as ours in mind. We'll be singing
Vivaldi's Gloria, a well-known cantata which we
performed in 2011, with other church and school
choirs.


If we have enough voices in the proper distribution
of parts, we'll even be able to sing a set of our pieces
on the program.

Singers and non-singers are invited to join us for this
incredible experience. Joanne Ginster is our trip
coordinator. She can be reached at 414-540-0953.
Brochures that outline the details of the trip are
available at the Welcome kiosk and at the church
