LENT – DON’T JUST WATCH,
JUMP IN
The 40 days of Lent begin each year with Ash
Wednesday and continue through Holy Saturday, the
day before Easter Sunday. Sundays are not counted in
the 40 days, as Sundays since ancient times have been
called Little Easters. Lent can be fascinating as we
follow Jesus to Jerusalem and his suffering and death.
But let’s make it more than fascinating, let’s jump in
and make it an adventure in which we are
participants.
Many people grew up with the idea that one is to
“give up” something for Lent, such as chocolate or
movies or drinking or something else one enjoys, as a
way of sacrificing or avoiding distractions. That has
some good psychology to it, so if you wish to do that,
go for it. Another valuable discipline during Lent is
to commit to praying more regularly and for a special
chosen purpose. Most of you have received our
bookmark for this season, defining how to pray for
God’s will to be done in your life and through our
church’s ministries. If you don’t have your bookmark
yet, pick one up Sunday or ask at the church office.
The bookmark is a challenge from Pastor Sam and
myself to join us in prayer every day till Easter, with
Jesus as our host.
This year on Sundays we will read some of the most
exciting ‘big lesson’ stories from John, such as
Nicodemus, the woman at the well, the man born
blind, and the raising of Lazarus. Don’t miss these
amazing encounters with Jesus, in which every person
involved discovered their life to be irreversibly
changed in a wonderful way.
And don’t miss our midweek Lenten services each
Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. and again at 6:45 p.m., with
a soup and bread supper at 6:00 p.m. Each week we
will absorb new meaning from Jesus as he heads for
the cross.

various volunteers from all sectors of our community
serve a hot, home-cooked supper, spiced with warm
smiles and friendly manners, to all who come.

this charitable program typically welcomes an
average of 100 attendees, ranging from about 50
during the summer to a high of around 170 at

can take part in a wholesome meal prepared and
served with a caring heart by those who value
community.

CHURCH MAINTENANCE Wednesday, March 4—9:00 a.m.
Yes, even during Lent we need help getting the
church squared away. On these first Wednesdays, we
ask people to perform routine work involving the
repair and general maintenance of facilities, buildings,
and equipment under the supervision of our trusty
Custodian, Gordon King.

No experience necessary, just a willingness to do
some hard (or not so hard) work. People with a
working knowledge of equipment, tools, and
machinery are a big plus, but not required. If you can
swing a hammer, you’re hired! Thanks and come on
out. Coffee and snacks provided.

LADIES BOOK CLUB
Come to the of Ladies Book Club on
Monday, March 9, at 11:00 a.m.
The book for the month of March is
Kisses from Katie by Katie Davis
Majors and Beth Clark. This New
York Times bestselling book is the
account of a courageous 18-year-old
from Nashville who gave up every
comfort and convenience to become the adoptive
mother to 13 girls in Uganda.
A passion to follow Jesus.
Katie Davis Majors left over Christmas break of her
senior year for a “short” mission trip to Uganda and
her life was turned completely inside out. The book
invites you on a journey of radical love down the red
dirt roads of Uganda.
Join the ladies in the LIBRARY for lively discussion
and tasty treats all facilitated by Claudia Sawin. All
women welcome. Even if you haven’t read the book
or you meant to read it, come to the discussion and
hear the thoughts and questions of those who have.

HOSPITALITY HOUSE EVENING
MEALS—ONCE AGAIN,
THANK YOU—POP!
PoP has done it again! The meal provider list is full
for March 3-8. Our Community Meal as well as
Claudia Sawin, Diane Pierson, Gail Korakis, Jude
Gustafson, and Mel Schneider are the volunteers.
THANK YOU hardly seems enough—but THANK
YOU! The House residents love your choice of meals.
They say you are the best—and you are! Everyone
appreciates your caring hearts—me included.
HOSPITALY HOUSE SUPPLIES
March is one of the two months that PoP is
specifically asked to donate household and office
supplies. In the past another church has shared this
responsibility with us—BUT this month we are the
only one. So PLEASE note the needs that are listed
on the HH bulletin board. You delivering the items
to the House really helps—1419 SW 150th, Burien
(Lake Burien Presbyterian Church). If that isn’t
doable, place the supplies in the HH donation box,
under the HH bulletin board. Once again, thank you.
Donations are tax deductible.

LENTEN SPECIAL OFFERING
RECIPIENT
Blackfeet Nation—The Blackfeet Nation in
Browning, MT, is where our Youth Group is going
on their mission trip this summer. There are so many
needs there, especially for children growing up in an
impoverished area with many social and emotional
struggles. Helping to give the children of the
Blackfeet Nation a hand up in their growth as
productive young people would certainly be a
blessing to them. Melodie Schneider
“I would like to thank Prince of Peace for the cards,
prayers, and thoughts of well wishes during my
treatment for breast cancer. I have completed
treatments and everything is testing positive for me.
In Christian Love, Kristi Flynn”

WOMEN OF PRINCE OF PEACE
The theme for our Bible
study “WE ARE
CALLED” continues in the
month of March...and we
will see it again in April.
In January we studied the
call of several Old Testament prophets which was
fascinating and at times dramatic.
In February we looked again at familiar stories about
how the apostles and disciples were called...these were
unique but dramatic too...Saul on the road to
Damascus and even Ananias had to respond to a call
to minister to this frightening man.
This month we will tackle how we are personally
called what to do and how to serve. We will visit the
familiar stories of the Samaritan, Joseph and the Phar-
aoh of Egypt, and Queen Esther. How were they
called and how did they respond?
As is usually the case, Gather is full of inspiration.
How do these authors serve? A quote that stuck out
to me was on p.13 in an article entitled Our
Responsibility. The author said, “Our vocation is to
serve Jesus by being Jesus to our neighbor. And our
neighbor is everyone. But we have different gifts and
different circumstances, so we serve differently and as
best and fully as we can...” Different gifts and
different circumstances resonates, doesn’t it? And
that is a very good thing.
Circles will meet the third week of March: JOY meets
on Tuesday, March 17, at 6:30 p.m.; FAITH meets on
Thursday, March 19, at 10:00 a.m. Both meet in the
church library. All women are welcome to attend.
LOVE PROJECT for March—Our Lenten emphasis
is in support of the Highline Area Food Bank. To
help you with your shopping, the food items listed
below are suggestions that are always in demand:
• Cereal
• Fruit Cups
• Snacks (think chips, crackers, etc.)
Purchases can be dropped off at the church and placed
in the food bank bin in the narthex. Thank you, as
always, for your generous support. It is greatly
appreciated.
QUILTERS continue to sew and tie quilts for
Lutheran World Relief. They have their work space
all organized in the Education Building. Join them at
9:00 a.m. on Thursday mornings. Tops can also be
sewn at home, but chatter and laughter can be heard
coming from that part of the building.

PRINCE OF PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH
CHURCH COUNCIL MEETING
January 11, 2020 Meeting called to order at 6:31 p.m.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Dave Hill, outgoing
President; incoming President nominee John Gilbert,
Pastor Conrad Tollefson; Mark Bergin, Treasurer,
Pam Randall, Secretary; Melodie Schneider; Pastor
Sam Sseba; Susan Vernon; Jude Gustafson, Nancy
Hadley.
DEVOTION and COMMUNION: Pastor Tollefson
shared some thoughts on Isaiah. “Is it too light a
thing that you should be my servant to raise up the
tribes of Jacob?” “I will give you as a light to the
nations…” this speaks to our mission statement at
POP. We will be a neighbor among all neighbors.
Examples include tutoring, MAPP, vacation Bible
school, community meal connection, our Ethiopian
congregation, our Hispanic congregation. Pastor
Tollefson led us in prayer for both the Ethiopian and
Hispanic congregations that also gather here at POP.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Minutes from
December 2019 tabled until next meeting due to no
copies available.
TREASURER’S REPORT: Mark Bergin: Giving in
December rose, which paralleled where giving was in
2017. Actual giving worked out to be about 105% of
what was projected as necessary, which happens to be
in line with expenses which were also about 105% of
what was projected for 2019. He noted that giving
The Publication of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church Banner March 2020 19030 8th Ave S, SeaTac 98148 9 Volume 29 Issue 3
did exceed expenses by the end of 2019.
PASTOR’S REPORT: Pastor Conrad: Joseph To has
been extended a contract for employment as our new
Director of Music Ministries and will be commuting
from WSU weekly where he is studying for his
Master of Music Direction.
Coming up February 11-13, 2020, Pastor Paul
Hoffman will be leading the third annual pastoral
mentoring conference which will include worship here
at POP.
This Saturday, January 25, 2020, Safety in a Place of
Worship will take place from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
here at POP. One of the presenters will be Tonya
Seaberry from Des Moines Police Department.
We need ideas for ministries to receive our Lenten
offering and these should be turned in by February 2,
2020, to be in time to vote at the February 9, 2020
[congregational] meeting.
Pastor Tollefson also related that a few weeks ago
PSE Foundation came to POP congregation and the
Emergency Disaster Preparedness Committee at POP
regarding installation of an emergency generator.
They were especially interested in POP because of our
disaster preparedness program [and proximity to
SeaTac Airport]. We are already a site for Red Cross
emergency housing. A bid came in from the
electrician for a little over $50,000. There are some
things the grant cannot cover. We have responded
that we are unable to participate financially for a
program that we did not initiate. PSE responded by
granting a check for $60,000 to POP to cover the
purchase and installation of a generator. The plan is
to have it run by natural gas. It will need to be run
tested and maintained on a regular basis. There is a
one-year deadline from receipt of the check for the
project to be completed and up and running.
It was moved by Dave Hill and seconded by Jude
Gustafson, unanimously approved, that Ron Stojack
and/or Don Rova be asked if they would be willing to
be appointed to be a liaison on the generator project
with PSE Foundation with a purpose of looking into
the feasibility of actively participating in this ongoing
project. Pastor Conrad and Pastor Sam will work out
who approaches the above candidates.
Pastor Sam: Reported that he is happy to be back
after his clinicals and his next week at seminary will
be his last week as he finishes up this intense program
of study.
UPCOMING FEBRUARY 9, 2020
CONGREGATIONAL MEETING: Pres. Dave Hill
stated he will be present and is willing to initially
chair the meeting through the approval of minutes.
Right after that he would have the nominating
committee put forth the approval of incoming
President John Gilbert, who then would take over the
rest of the meeting. For this meeting the council will
provide cookies, pastry or pie.
Also being presented at that meeting will be the 2020
Spending Guide. Mark reminded us that we did a
half-year budget because there is so much going on in
the first half of 2020. This will necessitate a mid-year
congregational meeting. He went on to discuss the
proposed spending guide, which will require weekly
giving of $5,630. This is about a 4.5% increase from
the budget of 2019, and the giving in 2019 was close
to this amount.
It was moved by Nancy Hadley and seconded by Jude
Gustafson to approve the proposed spending guide for
the first half of 2020 to be presented at the next
congregational meeting.
Other business to be presented at the congregational
meeting: an update by Pastor Tollefson on waiting
for feedback from Compass and the timetable on any
affordable housing project involving outside
agency(ies), touch on stewardship, emerging
ministries, assets.
Next council meeting: February 11, 2020.
WELCA: Melodie Schneider: We have gotten quite
a few donations from funerals held recently which
WELCA is trying to use for outreach. Every month
WELCA plans to write a check for $25-$50 to an
outside group. This month we gave $50 to Reaching
out with Hope, $50 to Highline Schools weekend food
The Publication of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church Banner March 2020 19030 8th Ave S, SeaTac 98148 10 Volume 29 Issue 3
project. The LOVE project for January is scarves,
hats, and gloves for Peace Shelter. In February there
will be a soup-er bowl month for February and ask for
soup for the food bank.
In July 2020 the National Women’s Conference will
be held in Phoenix, AZ. Julie Landskov and Judy
Voeller will be attending. Funds were offered to each
of them for meals or other expenses, but both declined
so $200 will be sent to WELCA for the convention.
Finally, more donations of fabric arrived yesterday for
quilting.
YOUTH: Sam: Reported feeling totally blessed that
the youth are meeting each week. They come out of
the meetings energized. Christy (and Casey) are
doing a great job and is a natural at it. The kids are
looking forward to the meetings and don’t have to be
forced to go up. They are planning a mission trip to
Montana in July 2020. They have asked Sam to be a
part of that trip.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS/NEW BUSINESS:
Pastor related talking to Joseph To about concerts
that Joseph has been having at his prior place of
employment. He would like to do that here. Funds
raised would often go to the general fund, however, he
would like to know if it could go to work on the piano
which is in need of upgrade repair beyond a simple
tuning. Health and human needs, music or youth
have been historically acceptable fundraising projects
per POP bylaws.
Meeting adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
IT’S TIME TO BE
HONEST Spirit Article-March 2020
Wouldn’t it be nice if people
could talk about their
anti-anxiety medication or
depression medication as easily
as their cholesterol medication? Unfortunately, even
though we have come a long way in society, there is
still some shame when talking about illnesses in our
brains – whether it is anxiety or depression or
addiction or bipolar disorder or ADHD or a traumatic
brain injury (TBI) or other mental health challenges.
Sadly, there seems to be an added stigma when one is
a deacon or a pastor. I am not sure why. Perhaps it is
because rostered ministers are supposed to have
everything in order. Perhaps it is because rostered
ministers are supposed to be the helpers rather than
the ones who need help. I don’t know. But the stigma
is present.
The truth is, in the United States nearly one in five
adults experience some form of mental illness. It is
very common. And, in most cases, it is treatable with
therapy and medication. With the right treatment
plan, most are able to lead a full and happy life.
I encourage us all to be compassionate and to be
truthful with one another. We all need to get to a
point where we can be honest regarding our mental
health, whether we are a rostered minister or a
layperson. This is for the sake of the church, the
person involved and their family.
When I was a young adult, I learned that my great-
grandmother suffered from schizophrenia. I had
never met her and thought she had died years before I
was born. The reality was that she died only a few
years before I heard about her. You see, she had been
institutionalized for years and no one in the family
spoke of her. I am saddened that I never had a chance
to meet her. And I am saddened for the shame my
The Publication of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church Banner March 2020 19030 8th Ave S, SeaTac 98148 11 Volume 29 Issue 3
family held close. My family and I are less than what
we could have been together.
While I am thankful that things are different than
when my great-grandmother was confined to an
“asylum” (as it was called back in the day), we still
have a long way to go. I encourage all of you to be
honest if you are experiencing symptoms. I ask all of
you to listen and see and empathize with those who
are struggling. And encourage those around you to
get help as needed.
Truly, we do not want you to struggle alone.

RESOLVING JEALOUSY Oh, the joy that does abound,
resolving jealousy, I’ve found.
Some go asking, “Who’s the best?”
Then “Can I conquer all the rest?”
Long ago, you may recall,
Adam and Eve, and then the Fall.
Then when Cain and Abel came,
the world would never be the same.
Cain saw Abel’s sacrifice;
the firstborn of his flock so nice,
shining in the noonday sun,
as if a contest he had won.
One day follows to the next,
and so it follows in the text,
Cain slew Abel, down he went,
his jealousy and rage did vent.
Sinking feelings, quivered lip,
Cain fell from that one-upmanship;
when he felt a lack of hope,
he needed an up periscope.
Up periscope; view the scene.
And gain perspective on the green;
is it greener, greater, wide,
just over on the other side?
Should one take another’s place,
undoubtedly, he’d have to face,
all the bad as well as good,
but who would want to, if he could?
So, resist the tempter’s snare,
that bids us turn, and look, and stare;
resist that urge to compare,
and count your blessings everywhere.

QUILTERS!
Are you currently doing a Marie Kondo spring
cleaning? Are your old sheets, blankets, fabrics
(cotton blend) not “sparking joy?” If so, we have the
answer for you. Bring those discarded sheets (fitted
are great, too!), blankets, and fabric here to PoP. Our
quilters are always looking for donations of this type
to make the quilts that are sent to Lutheran World
Relief and distributed around the globe. You can
drop those items at the church office at just about
any time.
Prince of Peace’s Banner is published every month.
Deadline is Wednesday, 10:00 a.m., for publication

CHILDREN’S BULLETINS
Don’t forget that we have a printed Children’s
bulletin available every Sunday during worship. This
is a fun page for kids to read along with the service
and have some activities to occupy their busy minds
and hands. Ask the Ushers for a copy of this if you
have brought a child to worship OR if you would like
to bring one to your child at home.
Have you noticed the staples in the Sunday bulletin?
With a new year comes new ideas! We recently
signed a new lease with a different copier company
when our lease with Ricoh expired. With that, we
have the ability to print a lot more interesting items,
including the church directory with photos that we
can instantly update. This copier also makes printing
the bulletin and Banner a LOT easier.
So, with that, if you’ve not been happy with the photo
of you from the 2016/2017 photo directory, we can
take almost ANY picture and put that into our
in-house printable directory.
Bring any photo you like of yourself to the church
office and we can put that in. I will print those in
small batches for people to take home. This will save
a lot of money printing only when we have changes to
the directory.
Have fun with it! Put a picture of you with your
family pet or favorite hobby item into the mix. We
should be able to keep printing this new way going
forward so that we no longer have to outsource our
directory to a professional photographer and schedule
sittings.
