CHARACTERISTS
Many of you know that I am a big fan of dogs. I have owned many dogs. Currently our family has Labrador
Retrievers. We love our Labs! If you visit the website of the American Kennel Club you find the following:
The Labrador Retriever is a strongly built, medium-sized, short-coupled, dog possessing a sound, athletic,
well-balanced conformation that enables it to function as a retrieving gun dog; the substance and soundness
to hunt waterfowl or upland game for long hours under difficult conditions; the character and quality to win in
the show ring; and the temperament to be a family companion. Physical features and mental characteristics
should denote a dog bred to perform as an efficient Retriever of game with a stable temperament suitable for
a variety of pursuits beyond the hunting environment. The most distinguishing characteristics of the Labrador
Retriever are its short, dense, weather resistant coat; an "otter" tail; a clean-cut head with broad back skull
and moderate stop; powerful jaws; and its "kind," friendly eyes, expressing character, intelligence and good
temperament.
Basically, the Labrador is a high-spirited, family centered and very active breed of dog.
I think these same characteristics are found in the community of Saint Ignatius. We are high-spirited, work
long hours under difficult conditions (think rummage sale), and we have a superb temperament. We are
friendly, intelligent with expressive character and we love to be together as a family.
On June 27 and 28 you have the opportunity to observe some Labradors in action. Our church has
commitment to being “bird technicians” for a Hunting Retriever Club Hunt Test sponsored by a group called
WISILL HRC. What is a “bird technician” you ask. Come to church on Monday, June 8 at 6:00 p.m. or
Saturday, June 13 at 9:00 a.m. or Sunday, June 21 at 11:30 a.m. to find out. Our commitment to this
venture is a fundraiser for our 100th Anniversary celebration on July 11. Participating in this event on June
27 and 28 will give you the chance to see the beautiful characteristics of a Labrador Retriever. It will also
give you a glimpse into the spirit of St. Ignatius.
See you in Church, Fr. Tim
ST IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH
Vestry Notes News from the Warden of the East! This month, your vestry met to consider many different topics, here is a quick synopsis of decisions made. Our kitchen will soon be a certi@ied commercial kitchen. We are working to obtain a Food Plan Review and Permit, which will grant us paperwork proving we have a commercial kitchen. This is important because a few groups pay to use our kitchen to prepare food for sale. It’s a win-‐win for all—we gain a little revenue, they gain a wonderful kitchen, and people have healthy food for purchase. Along the lines of housekeeping, the vestry approved the purchase of a new vacuum cleaner, that can actually clean our space for us. We will also purchase a 10 X 16 shed for Nick Brown to build as part of his Eagle Scout project. Nick will organize a St. Ignatius fundraiser to recoup those costs. The vestry voted to move forward with the planning for Nadia Bolz-‐Weber, a Lutheran pastor, author, and all-‐around “rock-‐star theologian”, to speak at St. Ignatius in the summer of 2016. See Linda Mizwicki if you’re interested in joining the planning committee. Friends, please remember that the minutes from all vestry meetings are posted on the bulletin board in the social hall, should you desire a more detailed account of our discussions. Linda Mizwicki, Warden
Come on a Pilgrimage with Vacation Bible School! Parents, children, and young at heart, Mark you calendars for July 27-31, 9:00 am -1:00 pm Join our children and V.B.S. staff for a medieval pilgrimage to sacred places in Rome, Spain, England, Scotland, and Ireland. We will explore the medieval world through street fairs, guilds, crafts, songs, and games. We will listen to Bible stories, learn memory verses, and hear sagas of saints. As always, volunteers are welcome and donations are encouraged. See Linda Mizwicki for speci@ic information. This year, VBS has a special need. Because most of our volunteers also work in God’s Will Resale, we need people to cover their shifts. Without this help, we won’t be able to have a vigorous, fun, and educational Vacation Bible School. Please check your calendar for July 27-‐31, and listen for requests for times. The children of St. Ignatius and the larger community will thank you! VBS this year is sponsored by the Julieann Kriens Memorial Foundation. Julieanne was a passionate Sunday School and VBS teacher. Her family would like to sponsor our VBS program this year in loving memory of Julianne and her passion for God and children.

Nadia Bolz-Weber at St. Ignatius They say the church is dying, and it makes me angry. I can’t quite get on board with the death march. Perhaps I am sitting happily on the deck, listening to the band play Nearer My God to Thee, as the ship sinks under me. Perhaps I am utterly oblivious to the death throes all around me. The truth is, I love the church, the holy catholic church generally, and St. Ignatius of Antioch speci@ically. If the church is on its last legs, at least St. Ignatius is raging against the dying of the light. We are a brave, forward thinking congregation who does not admit defeat. This month, our vestry carefully considered a bold proposition, discussed it openly and respectfully, and voted their consciences. Now, my friends, I have strong opinions on a few subjects. Ask me about the Bear’s chances to win the next Super Bowl, and I’ve got nothing to say. Ask me about popular theologians, or the direction St. Ignatius should take in Christian Formation, and you might get an earful. One of the things I value about this community is that when I speak freely about my opinions, I meet conversation, consideration, and respectful discussion. Just because I feel strongly about something does NOT mean I am right. I depend on my friends to speak just as passionately about their views. This vestry does a good job of that, and we still truly love each other at the end of the day. At our last meeting, we considered a decision close to my heart, hosting Nadia Bolz-‐Weber for a speaking engagement in 2016. If you took a grace-‐@iled, passionate faith in Jesus and a commitment to loving all (the LGBTQ community, people struggling with mental illness or addiction, hipsters and suburban soccer moms), wrapped it up in brilliant, sardonic, sarcastic wit, sprinkle liberally with swear words, and cover with tattoos, you get the theological genius of Nadia Bolz-‐Weber. Nadia is one of the foremost voices in contemporary Christianity, and one of my personal super-‐heroes. People who haven’t yet heard of her may not understand this, but Nadia is the theological equivalent of a bona-‐@ide rock star. I know people who drive two hours one way and paid $50, along with 400 other people, to see speak her on a snowy Saturday in January 2015. Every event she books sells up to 400 tickets. I have no doubts that this event will be a raging success for this church. We have a clear idea of our costs and I have every con@idence that this event will NOT cost the church money. To ensure this, the vestry is watching our progress on this very closely, and expecting a very clear plan. Anyone with questions or concerns is welcome to the research we have gathered. We need enthusiastic, energized, and creative people to work on this, so if the idea of an inspiring speaker inspires you, please join the committee. Just to whet your appetite, here is a little slice of Nadia. From her website bio: Nadia Bolz-Weber is the founding pastor of House for All Sinners and Saints in
Denver, Colorado. She is author of Salvation on the Small Screen? 24 Hours of Christian
Television (Seabury 2008) and the New York Times best selling theological memoir, Pastrix: the Cranky,
Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint (Jericho, 2013). Her writings can be found in the Christian Century,
The Lutheran Magazine and Patheos.com. Nadia has been featured in The Washington Post, Bitch Magazine,
NPR’s Morning Edition, More Magazine, The Daily Beast and on CNN.
Nadia is not only a famous name, but she is the real deal, full of the gospel and alive with passion for
Christ. Here is an excerpt from her book, Pastrix on the nature of grace.
“God’s grace is not defined as God being forgiving to us even though we sin. Grace is when God is a
source of wholeness, which makes up for my failings. My failings hurt me and others and even the planet, and
God’s grace to me is that my brokenness is not the final word. My selfishness is not the end-all… instead, it’s that
God makes beautiful things out of even my own s***. Grace isn’t about God creating humans as flawed beings
and then acting all hurt when we inevitably fail and then stepping in like the hero to grant us grace—like saying,
“Oh, it’s OK, I’ll be a good guy and forgive you.” It’s God saying, “I love the world too much to let your sin
define you and be the final word. I am a God who makes all things new.” (Bolz-Weber, 2013, p. 50)

Outreach
Outreach - As we talk about Open Arms and Sharing
Center and the need to continue and improve our
outreach ministry I am always actively looking for
additional outreach opportunities. However we have
some wonderful ones already in place such as the
following. There are bins in the vestibule for on going
donations. Take a minute, check it out and donate!
Terra Cycle Bin
A Safe Place
Open Arms Bin
The beard is Gone
but not for Long!
On May 29, Kathy & Ernie Kraak
participated in a Relay for Life event.
Ernie challenged Kathy to raise $1,000
and he would shave his beard off. After
announcing that in church, Mike Culat
challenged them to raise another $1,000
and then Ernie would wear a Bear’s
jersey to church for two weeks. Kathy
took both challenges seriously and raised
over $2,300. Her team raised not quite
$5,000 and the event has raised over
$81,000. Thank you to all donated to
this cause.
As Ernie says, it’s only a
beard and in the words of the great St.
Vince, the Pack (jersey and beard) will
be back.

God's Will Resale Shop
The huge sale was just that. It reminded us of a mini
rummage sale. People waiting for the doors to open
each day and the parking lot full most of the time. We
grossed over $6,000 in the four days and certainly
cleaned us out. However never fear for the lack of
donations as more has filled the empty spaces. Our
wish is for more volunteers. Maybe one of them is
YOU or a friend you know. Please share the
