VBS Recap
Page 2
VBS was held at Trinity Lutheran-Town Wilson July 6-10. The theme of this year’s program was “God’s Great Rescue.” The lessons told us about God’s great love for His people
Israel for us today. God sets our course, protects us, listens to our prayers, and wants everyone to be saved and spend eternity with Him in Heaven. God truly has rescued us in the past,
and He continues to do so today. We had rescue workers come in and speak to us about how
they save or rescue people and tied it in to the Bible story.
Monday—EMT/Ambulance
Tuesday—Sheriff/Squad Car
Wednesday—Nurse/Equipment
Thursday– Firefighter/Fire Truck
Friday– Armed Services/Gear
“The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and bring me safely
to His heavenly kingdom.”

order the Voters’ Assembly.
President Wille has offered us eleven pastors for our consideration. They include:
The Rev. Joel Baseley, of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Dearborn, Mich.;
(*)The Rev. Shane Cota, of Trinity Lutheran Church, Boulder Junction, Wis.;
The Rev. Samuel Grayl, of First Lutheran Church, Bozeman, Mont.;
The Rev. Scott Hojnacki, of St. Paul/St. Peter Lutheran Churches, Beach /Belfield, ND;

Those with the asterisk (*) are those who are recommended by the call committee for our consideration

down to no less than three for consideration of the voters.
If you would like to learn more about any of these men before the Voters’ Assembly, you may come to
Cathy in the church office or may speak with Elmer Hazen or Jerry Selk who will make the information
available to you. All voters are welcome to read this information. (Because of legal liability issues we
are not able to publish the information any more broadly.)
After the Call Meeting the two individual churches will briefly spilt for the purpose of individual business that needs to be done in each church in their summer Voters’ Assemblies. We would hope that as
many of you as possible would come to this very important meeting.

MOSES—Exodus 19-20
Moses’s life was a great adventure. It was filled with miracles
and mystery. But perhaps his
greatest moment came when he
met God on Mount Sinai. There
Moses received the Ten Commandments.
God is love. So He gave Moses a list of ten
things that loving people do and don’t do . If
you love your neighbors, you do not
steal from them. If you love God,
you do not serve false gods. Moses
delivered God’s love list to Israel.
They would seek to obey!
I WILL LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL MY HEART.

From the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (www.lcms.org)
Busyness is the new black. It’s stylish. We spend an inordinate amount of time comparing how busy we
are with everyone else. We compare our schedules, our kid’s schedules, how productive we are and how
much we have because of it to everyone around us. And if we don’t do or have what the next guy does
or has, we just get busier and produce more so that we can.
This consumes our conversations and thoughts. And this should give us pause: Who is consuming
whom, here? Are we the consumer or are we those consumed? It’s no accident that our adversary the
devil is described as a lion prowling around seeking to devour us, to consume us. He gives us the liturgy
of this world, the liturgy of productivity and consumption. For if he can keep us busy in “muchness” and
“manyness,” he can be satisfied.
And this is why the Lord, after finishing all His work of creation, rested on the seventh day. This is why
He established the Sabbath day—to give His people rest from all their work. As they rested, He continued to work for them, to satisfy them, to fill them with His gifts—food from heaven by His Word and
Promise.
That day came when from our Lord's cross and in His death, He proclaimed, "It is finished" (John
19:30). And so His work of redemption was complete. And so His body rested in the tomb, the belly of
the earth. Though He is the Lord God who always works, yet as the Lord rested on the original Sabbath,
now Jesus kept the Sabbath by resting in the tomb and rising from the dead to live forever. For this is
why He came. This is why He became man: to draw all to Himself so that He could give rest and refreshment to the weary and the heavy laden.
The Sabbath is a gift, not a burden. It is a gift of time free from the liturgy of this world, the liturgy of
productivity and consumption. Sabbath is time for rest and refreshment, a time free from anxiety to enjoy the gifts God gives, all of them—His Word, His Promises, His Sacraments, His creation, everything.
It is a foretaste of the rest we shall enjoy in heaven.
Sadly for many of us rest has become work. It’s become drudgery. We long for it but we aren’t able to
do it because there’s so much to be done and so little time to do it. But really what’s the rush? Why are
we so hurried and harried? Have we forgotten that Jesus is raised from the dead and lives forever?
Sabbath is God's gift of time free from all of the anxiety and hurry of this world so that we can rest, be
refreshed by the gifts God gives. Society won't do it for us. They are addicted to the liturgy of productivity and consumption. Though we are in the world, we are not of it. We are the people of God, His own
children by water and Word, joined to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus lives. And so
shall we. So rest in the promise of our Savior that sin, death, and time have not hold on you because Jesus is raised from the dead. Jesus lives. And so shall we, forever.

‘We are for life, no matter the cost’
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
We logged on to the Internet and Facebook yesterday only to be hit with a sickening story: undercover video footage
seemingly implicating Planned Parenthood in the sale of the body parts of aborted children.
In the video, Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, discusses how she adjusts abortion procedures to procure certain parts of a child’s body, even as she notes that
“we’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver.”
Listen long enough, if you can handle it, and you’ll hear her suggest that such items could eventually be listed on a
Planned Parenthood “menu” for affiliate organizations to purchase for a price.
Later in the day, Planned Parenthood released a “nothing to see here” kind of statement, asserting that the discussion was merely one revolving around a patient’s right to donate tissue, as with any medical procedure. But why
does Nucatola then mention the costs of body parts (“Thirty to one hundred dollars,” she says)?
Lord, have mercy.
If what Nucatola says is, in fact, the truth, we as Christians cannot allow this story to go untold or be buried by the
media. We simply cannot remain silent while the reprehensible act of killing a child in the womb is made even worse
by selling portions of that child’s dismembered body simply because there is a market for them.
Speaking up about the shameful act of killing children — as well as harvesting their body parts — may be uncomfortable. We may lose friends and create awkward tension at work. Our professors may mock us, and our family may
roll their eyes at us. If that is the case, so be it. Because as Lutherans, as Christians, we are for life, no matter the
cost.
As Lutherans, we confess that every life has value, that it has worth, that it matters … from the moment of conception until natural death occurs. We confess that what Nucatola calls “17-weekers” are actually children — with beating hearts and little moving fingers and toes. We confess that even the tiniest of humans are just that — regardless
of what scientific term the culture uses to make them seem like something less. We confess that they are created in
the image and likeness of our Lord Himself. And we confess that because of Him, their hearts and lungs and livers
matter, no matter how small they might be. We also admit our own failings in this regard. Where we have failed to
speak and act for life, we repent. Where we have not cared for mothers in crisis-pregnancy situations, we ask for
forgiveness. Where we have thought more of ourselves than giving to an organization that can assist those moms
and babies, we are sorry. Where we have been apathetic to this pandemic of death, we grieve.
But we are not without hope, because our Lord is for life too.
He is so pro-life, in fact, that He has given His own life for us, even as He has laid it down for these tiniest of children. Where their short lives are taken, He offers up His willingly. Where their little bodies are sold, He gives His
freely to us at His holy table for the forgiveness of our sins.
Today let us confess life with renewed vigor — to our friends over supper, through letters to the editor of our local
paper, by writing our congressmen, in tweets and emails to Planned Parenthood, on our Facebook pages. Let us pray
that our Lord would bring an end to abortion altogether and that He would stop the horrible sale of infant bodies.
And let us pray that He would forgive us, renew us and bolster us to make a good confession in season and out of
season: one that is always, no matter what, for life.
