Th inking With... Pastor Hammersten

“For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” Galatians 5:13-14

My Gustavus friends and I have always loved listening to Van Morrison. For nearly 30 years we have listened to his romantic and soulful music, dancing around dorm rooms and summer nights spent imagining what this Romeo must look like in real life. When we fi nally saw him in person, the only words that described him that night were crabby and cantankerous. Not exactly what we had imagined all those years!

When you hear the name “Mount Olivet Homes’ Auxiliary” what comes to mind? Unless it’s a group of wild, loving, philanthropic, and sassy women, you may have imagined

wrong. There were more feather boas, fi shnet stockings, and leopard print stilett os at last year’s Gala than you’ll fi nd at the Moulin Rouge. And what are these women up to you might ask? These church ladies? Well, they’re doing God’s work, that’s what.

They’re the ones who throw birthday parties for the residents of Mount Olivet Homes and make sure that they have cake and roses. They’re the ones who cheer up persons with Alzheimer’s—pouring coff ee and singing and smiling. They’re the ones who volunteer at the Gift Shop so residents have a place to go for a friendly visit and to buy a few goodies. They give scholarships to employees who care for our loved ones and they work their tootsies off at the Garage Sale raising money to provide computers for the disabled children at Rolling Acres so that they can communicate with their moms and dads. They are one fabulous group!

The High FestivalActs 10:34-43

When I ask confi rmands what is the most important festival of the Christian church, they usually tell me it’s Christmas. I can understand them overlooking Easter because of the commercialism emphasized at Christmas. For us adults, we dare not make the same mistake. The validity and very existence of the Christian faith is completely dependent on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The proof of the Resurrection is in the lives of people who believe and claim Christ as their risen Lord. The Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts were writt en by the same person. Luke covers Jesus’ earthly ministry, while Acts covers Jesus’ never-ending ministry. In Acts, Jesus is still present and at work as the risen Lord through the Holy Spirit. The Acts of the Apostles is not the story of the community aft er Jesus, but rather the story of the community under Jesus. Today is no diff erent. The Lord is with you changing lives through the forgiveness of sins and life eternal. That’s why Easter is the Highest Festival.

Camp Noah Needs You! June 15-19, 2009

Mount Olivet is again sponsoring a team to provide Camp Noah to children who were aff ected by the

fl ood last year in Iowa.

The need is as great as it was for the children in the Gulf.

Camp Noah is a fun-fi lled day camp designed to assist children

in their recovery and to help them build resiliency skills.

It is Bible-based and built on the story of Noah and the Ark.

For more information, please call Joyce Pedersen, 612-922-0776 or

[email protected]

Please prayerfully consider sharing one week of your summer

with these children.

Volunteer Opportunities

2009Dates

Set This summer marks our eighteenth year in partnership with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. We are adding additional opportunities for volunteer involvement for those who have found diffi culty volunteering during the week.

We are scheduling three Saturdays--June 6, July 18 and August 8. These Saturdays will involve painting, siding, carpentry and roofi ng on existing buildings.

We will also participate in a traditional week-long work camp July 8-10 at a new construction site of a two-story house in Chaska, about fi ve minutes south of the West Campus.

Habitat sites are very worker-friendly--no special skills are required to be a Habitat volunteer worker, only a willing att itude. Please mark your calendars now. More details regarding each of the volunteer opportunities will be forthcoming in the ensuing weeks.
