HOGENSON
One of my favorite Bible verses is “I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
What this verse means to me is that when we are on the mountain
top and things are going swimmingly, we can enjoy good times with
even greater appreciation knowing that it is a gift from God. What it also
means to me is that when we are going through challenging times we can
get through them in a way we could not without faith.
This summer 2000 kids will enter through the camp gates and
discover a faith unlike any other. For some it will be a mountain top
experience where they will grow in their faith and appreciate the many
gifts from God. For others, it will provide respite, a relief from the dayto-day and a chance to escape the worries at home.
More than 900 people will join us at the Conference & Retreat
Center’s midweek worship services, surrounded by nature and the gifts
God has given unto us. We will sing together and worship together,
giving thanks for the beauty of the earth and the reminder that God is
with us at all times – in all ways.
I hope you are feeling strong and on top of the world. If so, celebrate
that and say “thank you” to God. If you are not feeling strong, if you are
not feeling on top of the world, remember that you are not alone. God is
with you and there is heavenly help for you.

BE NOT AFRAID
I have a brain tumor. I don’t
know any other way to say it. In the
past several months, I have been
experiencing pain when speaking –
I saw a doctor, took the prescribed
medication for my sore throat and then
didn’t really think much about it. After
the pain didn’t resolve, my doctors
suggested comprehensive testing and
an exploratory surgery to discern
the cause. The cause was not what I
hoped for. I have an inoperable brain
tumor.
As a pastor, I have walked
through similar situations with families over the years and I have
seen people go through tremendous challenges and adversity with a peace
that shines through them. And, after nearly 30 years in ministry, I am
convinced that this is the peace and comfort that only faith can bring.
One of my favorite Bible verses is “I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me,” (Philippians 4:13) and I am reminded and
renewed that Christ is in us, at all times, in all ways, even when we don’t
understand it. Over the past few weeks, Ruth and I have asked several
questions – including “what if it’s …?” or “what should we do with this
experience?” But I am so grateful that I have never, not once, asked “why
me?” I am grateful for my faith.
For those of you who are reading through the Bible, you probably
look forward to the Psalms – “the center of the book,” our halfway point
and the largest book in the Bible. And without spoiling it, Psalms is
chock-full of questions – even the question “why me?” I want you to
know, that’s okay. It’s okay to ask questions. It is okay to pray, even when
you don’t have the words. God dwells in each one of us through our
baptismal promise. God is not afraid of questions, because God is the
answer.
Questions and fear are two different things, but God is the answer
to both. “Be not afraid” is mentioned in the Bible more than 365 times –
that’s at least one for every day! In virtually every story we are reminded
to trust in God and that God is with us at all times and in all ways.
Let us continue to look upward, travel onward, and not be afraid.

Devotions
For God So Loved ...
For God so loved the world that he gave his
only son that whoever believes in him will
not perish but have eternal life. – JOHN 3:16
This has to be one of the best loved
and known Bible verses. It has been called
a love letter from God written in blood
and given as a gift for all. We see John
3:16 written on signs in sporting arenas,
we teach it to our children and we find
comfort in those 24 words in this verse.
Martin Luther called John 3:16 the
miniature Gospel. In this verse alone one
can sum up the entire Gospels and share
it with others in a nonthreatening and
powerful way. It is the one verse that has
transformed my ministry and has given
me purpose. I constantly use this verse at
Men’s Breakfasts. I begin with, “For God so
loved …” and I wait to have the men finish
… “the world.”
God did not send the gift of his son
to a certain people or just to me and my
friends, but God gave the gift of his son
for all. Those 24 words define how I see
the world and how I am called to share
that gift of Christ to all. I invite you to
mediate on these words and to look at the
world with God’s eyes … love, flaws,
and all. – PASTOR BAKKEN

MOUNT OLIVET MESSENGER
Keeping High
School Grads Connected
Have you heard about the new group at Mount Olivet called Hi-er
League? It’s for young men and women in their first four years out of high
school – faithful young people who grew up serving in so many ways with
energy, smiles, and laughter. Often, however, once they graduated, they
weren’t sure exactly where they fit in anymore, and so ended up drifting
away. I remember that exact feeling myself, coming home from Gustavus
freshman year on that first Thanksgiving, walking through these doors
of the church on Sunday morning, and wondering, “Where did all my
friends go?” It made me feel kind of lost. And sad, because I always had
loved being at church.
Our group began by asking college students what they were looking
for in church after graduation and how we could help. The bottom line
was this: They didn’t really care what the activity was, they just wanted to
stay connected.
And so, one summer night last year, just before everyone headed off
to near and far, we had our first gathering for 18- to 22-year-olds. It was
a BBQ & Piñata Party. I was so nervous about whether or not they were
having fun, and second guessing the Piñata idea, that I ran into the sacristy
to pray for the Holy Spirit to be with us. “Please, Dear Lord! We need
you NOW!” And when I went to go back outside, I discovered the group
gathered up by the altar, the room lit only by candles and the eternal
flame. They were just hanging out in a place that they grew up in – totally
comfortable in God’s house. Zach from our youth department opened
with prayer, then played all the church songs they know by heart. He sat
there, quietly strumming his guitar and spontaneously sharing wisdom
from his own experience of leaving home and going away to college. Soon
others were sharing their advice with the 18-year-olds, too. They spoke
about faith, friends, peer pressure, and choices that come with going off
to school. It was such a heart-felt conversation that I just hid around the
corner so as not to ruin the moment, filled with goose bumps and choking
back tears knowing that God was in the house.
Since then, we have gathered over school breaks in person for Bon
Voyage Bonfires, Pizza & Hoops, Candlelit Worship Services, and BOGO
Burritos at Chipotle. Online, we connect with people right where they are.
We post devotionals and send bits of Mount Olivet love to support them
UPCOMING A CT I V I TIES
during a time of their lives filled with temptation and change. They know
we are here for them, and now they are reaching back to us, privately,
when they need someone to talk to confidentially, about life.
This past weekend, as I sat watching the hockey tournament, each
time I saw a Mount Olivet young adult on TV, I IM’d them on Facebook
saying, “Hi! Pastor Monica here! I just saw you on TV!” And they IM’d
back, “Cool! Awesome!” with lots of hearts and smiley faces. This is
“church” reaching young adults where they’re at.
The greatest affirmation that we are hanging on to the future leaders
of our congregation came when we posted an invitation to our first-ever
Hi-er League COP weekend. I was hoping and praying that we’d reach
100 or maybe even 200 college kids with that post. When my weekly
Facebook report came back, it showed that 1,512 people connected to
their church that week. 1,512!
That weekend reunion at camp was the highlight of our summer, and
undoubtedly the most Holy Spirit-filled weekend I’ve ever experienced
at COP. From the moment they all hopped off the bus, pillows in hand
– just like they’d been doing since they were in 3rd grade – and walked
into the chapel, we just knew that this is what God wanted. Following
everything that goes on that first year in college, they returned to that
candle-lit chapel on the lake and opened to Kristi Youngdahl leading
us, just like her father and grandfather had before her, in singing, “Sing
when the day is bright, sing thru the darkest night.” In that moment,
we all understood exactly who we were and always would be – beloved,
forgiven, children of God.

A Letter to COP . . .
Camp
Dear Cathedral of the Pines,
Evening Chapel Services at 7:30pm.
Sunday Morning Worship at 10am.
Thousands enter your gate each and every summer. They are either
coming back to, or beginning the search for, a place that they can call
their own. A place that they can belong by being exactly who they are. A
place that is both serene and energetic at the same time. A place where
they can develop their faith over many years as they transition from
camper to Hi-Leaguer to volunteer.
I recently contemplated what my life would be like without your
stunning views, contagious laughter and unyielding acceptance. After
thinking about it, I realized that my life would be lacking countless
memories, long talks and lasting friendships; but I would survive
because those things still exist elsewhere in the world. However, adding
“unwavering faith” to your list of qualities is what distinguishes you
from the rest. The faith one feels in your presence brings them strength
because you exemplify grace and love day in and day out.
I thank you for giving me an opportunity to be in that presence and
a part of something so unique and special. There are not many places
that one can go year after year and never feel that they have outgrown the
experience. Growing up at COP, I heard countless tales from those who
came before me and it is remarkable to think that even though years have
passed, I am experiencing the same things. Not only has your schedule
stayed the same, but you have continued to teach and develop campers
into the people they are today. I know I wouldn’t be who I am today
without you and I am blessed that no matter how far my journey may
take me, I will always have a place to call my own at COP.

UPCOMING A CT I V I TIES
Camp Then & Now
Cathedral of the Pines has tremendously impacted
my life. It has allowed me to build friendships based
on faith, and friendships I know will be constant
throughout my life. One of the biggest impacts of
camp has been devotions – they have helped grow
my relationship with God and have given me a better
understanding of him. In the time I’ve spent at camp
little has changed with regards to the look of camp,
but my appreciation toward it has. I’ve grown such
an appreciation for the staff and volunteers that
help make camp what it is. Not many of my friends
outside of Mount Olivet can say that they have
something so special that they share with their church and its members.
However, I’m able to do that. No matter where I go in life, Cathedral of
the Pines will always have a special place in my heart. – CHLOE GOODMAN
So it might be cliché to say that Cathedral of the
Pines is the best place on earth, but it truly is,
because it shows us how God unconditionally loves
everyone. When most other places simply teach
that lesson, Cathedral of the Pines shows it through
example. When you step off the bus, you leave
behind the invasive drama and judgement that can
be in the lives of so many of us. During my 9th-grade
week, my counselor, Ben, helped to shape me into
someone who cares about others, instead of worrying
about what they may think of me. The people at
camp also show me how valuable I really am, not just
to others, but also to God. These are only a few examples, of the many
ways camp has affected myself and others in an indescribably positive way.
Cathedral of the Pines is truly the best place on earth. – EVAN KESSENS
It’s very hard to imagine my life without COP, as it
is a place I have grown so fond of. Through the years
my role at the camp has changed from camper, to
workstaffer, to counselor, but camp always seems to
stay the same. Some of the activities vary depending
on the age campers are up that week, but you can
always count on playing “honey if you love me,” and
you better be ready to play softball every day. It is
because of camp that I am who I am. My faith has
grown tremendously in the 10 years I’ve been going
to camp. It has kept me involved in other church
activities as well, which has facilitated even more
growth. Though I’m sad this summer will be my last year counseling at
COP I know camp isn’t going anywhere, and I will make sure to visit.
More importantly though, I know that what camp has given me will stay
with me for the rest of my life – and I am forever grateful for that.

6th-Grade First Communion
& Junior High Alive Preview
It was a busy time for 6th-graders this Spring! Over 170 students took
their first step in their Confirmation journey at First Communion on
Sunday, April 26.
Comments overheard at First Communion:
• “I liked First Communion because it was fun to be up there to take
communion like a grown-up.”
• “I liked the experience and I feel closer to God now.”
Additionally, some of our 6th-graders previewed Junior High Alive
service projects hosted by our junior high youth team (Geoff Arenson,
Gina DeNucci, and Zach Spirov):
CATHEDRAL OF
THE PINES CAMP GEAR
• Students attended a sample night of Adopt-A-Grandparent (AGP),
a service project that pairs students with elderly residents of Mount
Olivet Home and Careview Home. AGP meets on alternating
Mondays during the school year.
• In May, 6th-graders joined 8th-graders (along with the Youth Ministry
and C&FM teams) at Feed My Starving Children. The students
packed enough meals for 72 kids in El Salvador to eat for one year.
WORSHIP WITH YOUR
FAMILY THIS SUMMER!

UPCOMING A CT I V I TIES

6/22-6/25 Daily 9-11:45am, Mpls & West.
This year our VBS theme is “Growing with God.”
Spend the morning at church as we explore Bible
stories, participate in arts and crafts, and play fun games.
You’ll love our youth leaders and counselors and meeting new friends!
Cost: $40. Register today: www.mtolivet.org.
Jump in to Summer!
Counselors and families spent a
sunshine-filled day at the Mount
Olivet Conference & Retreat
Center on April 25 at our Family
Preview & Counselor Training
Day for King’s Kids / Camp
Summer of Service (S.O.S.).
Parents and kids were able to
get a feel for a typical camp
day (and meal)! After morning training
sessions, counselors were able to jump in and lead campersto-be through afternoon crafts and fun in the indoor pool. The day
also included a tour of the grounds and parent Q&A. We hope your
campers will JUMP INTO SUMMER at Mount Olivet! Visit http://
www.mtolivet.org/upcoming-events/summer-programs for details and
registration. Questions: Kate Knutson 612.767.2284 [email protected].
Thank You to Midge Gonsior & Sandy Kuehn
has been the Mount Olivet nursery coordinator
since September 1989. Midge says her job was a gift from God and she
is thankful for every day that she could be here. “Just to see the children
come walking in with big smiles on their faces makes me happy enough to
last until the next Sunday. I have seen so many babies grow up and now
they have babies of their own. Most of all, thank you Mount Olivet!”
SANDY KUEHN has been with the Mount Olivet preschool for 24 years.
She loves all children. This is so obvious when you see how hard she works
to find the perfect activities, prayers, materials, and songs for her classes
– usually being the last one to leave at the end of the day. She loves the
connections she has formed over the years with her former students and
their families, and loves when they stop back to greet her. It is not unusual
for her to receive an invitation to a high school graduation for a former
preschooler! Our Mount Olivet staff will miss Sandy’s positive attitude,
her kind heart, compassion, and her guitar playing ability!
Midge and Sandy are retiring this spring. Mount Olivet thanks them
for their years of service and will continue to pray for them and their
families.

CELEBRATING THE
COMPLETION OF PHASE I
Building on a Strong Foundation – with Christ as Our Rock
Elevator Approximately 15.1 million gallons of water
were pumped to dig the footings for the elevator. Pumps
operated 24/7 for three weeks. It took nearly three
truckloads of concrete to pour the foundation for the
elevator. The new elevator and new 1400 square foot lower
narthex provide a welcoming atmosphere for members and
guests.
Entry All of the stone was laid by hand and was received
from the same quarry as the church’s original stone.
Fellowship Hall The Fellowship Hall was originally
built in 1949. New technology and soundproofing have
been added. The updated Fellowship Hall is now a light
and bright space for large events such as the annual fashion
show attended by over 450 church members and guests,
and for our annual Stewardship dinners held in September.
The original kitchen was 2575 square feet, the
new kitchen is 3825 square feet. 120 yards of concrete were
used for the new kitchen floor. The first dinner served in the
new kitchen was the Lutefisk Dinner, which served 1500
people. More than 500 events are held each year.
Kitchen
The original lounge kitchen was built in
1959. During this update, a wall was moved to make room
for a center island and dishwasher. The new lounge kitchen
is now equipped to provide hospitality for church members
and guests for years to come.
Lounge Kitchen
There are over 600 feet of 54-inch culverts
under the parking lot to help with drainage of surface
water. The parking lot is designed to minimize the flow
of rainwater in the city storm sewer system. 13 volunteer
gardeners helped plant more than 300 shrubs and 32 shade
trees, including Cathedral Elms, in the east island beds.
Parking Lot
Thank You!
