1 Purpose statement: “Make disciples and grow in grace.”
News articles are due by June 22 to appear in July’s NewSense.
“…and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” (John 20:19)
Have you noticed how much scripture recently has spoken to us about where we are today? I was struck, for example, when we read the Ascension story on May 24, how much the questions of the disciples sounded a lot like the questions we are asking today… how the disciples are asking Jesus if these are the days where resto-ration will take place, and how Jesus told them to sit tight and wait, for the Holy Spirit would come and help them soon (in fifty days on Pentecost).
Why, of course, our Lord and Saviour Jesus comes among them!
Even with locked doors, Jesus
comes to us. Even when we are sequestered and sheltered in all these weeks (around 11 weeks now), I believe He continues to come to us, in our governmental (and church-wide) urging of shut-ting ourselves in.
I recall our friend, Martin Luther, was shut in for 300 days once, in the Castle at Wartburg, in the middle of some tumultuous times of the Reformation. But in almost a year, he was able to complete the translation of the New Testa-ment into a common German for all to have. I’m not saying that I am about to take on such monu-mental tasks (I cannot), but being locked down, even in these days of apparent letting up of some of the guidelines, we can still be pro-ductive!
God is with us. He has never left us. I cannot wait until we can gather and worship together, but, for now, we will remain faithful knowing that Jesus still comes to us—on Sunday mornings as we watch our worship on-line in our PJ’s and drink coffee, and, on Monday mornings, which may not feel like Mondays, or whatever day it might feel like it is!

Highlights
As shown by the graph, April’s offerings rep-resented an upswing from what we experi-enced in March. In fact, April’s offerings were virtually identical with the budget. They were down by 13 percent, however, from April 2019.(In person church services were first cancelled, due to the pandemic, on March 15.) Year-to-date offerings, encouragingly, were favorable to the budget, by just over $2,000. The excess of offerings over expens-es (“profit or loss” in a business) was posi-tive and favorable to the budget, both for the month and for the year to date.

This is a fun little thing to do!
Quarantine Exercise: Can you find the names of sixteen (16) books
of the Bible hidden in the paragraph below?
I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible (merely
by a fluke). It kept people looking so hard for the facts and for oth-
ers it was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the
name of the books were not capitalized, but the truth finally struck
home to numbers of readers. To others it was a real job. We want it
to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will be
some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help
them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of
them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little
lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See
how well you can compete. Relax now.
There really are sixteen names of books hidden in this story!

“The Road to Discipleship” Sermon Series
For the next two months, Pastor Jim will be offering a series of sermons to help us keep our feet firmly on the ground of faith in our task as disciples for Jesus Christ. The Pentecost season sends itself to such a series as this season is filled with lessons and Gospels that help us to grow spiritually during this season of warmth and growth. It is his hope that these messages will inspire us forward in our discipleship, in whatever way we can during these days of being kept at home, etc. Even when we reach the time of being able to return to Sunday worship in our building, we still need the constant guidance of God of how to share our faith in many and various ways.
There is a chance that one of these Sundays this summer Pastor Jim will be out of town, and we will have Ken Olander in his place; Ken will not be required to follow the plan laid out below, but upon Pastor’s return, he will pick up right where he left off. Please pray for Pastor Jim in this se-ries—that it will be uplifting, inspiring, and challenging!
June 7: “The Call to Making Disciples” (Texts: 2 Cor. 13:11-13; Matt. 28:16-20
June 14: “The Sending of Disciples” (Texts: Ex. 19:2-8a; Matt. 9:35-10:4)
June 21: “The Humility of Discipleship” (Texts: Romans 6:1b-11; Matt. 10:24-39)
June 28: “The Rewards of Discipleship” (Texts: Jer. 28:5-9; Matt. 10:40-42)
July 5: “The Weariness of Discipleship” (Texts: Romans 7:15-25a; Matt. 11:16-19, 25-30)
July 12: “The Path of Discipleship” (Texts: Is. 55:10-13; Matt. 13:1-9, 18-23)
July 19: “The Patience of Discipleship” (Texts: Romans 8:12-25; Matt. 13:24-30, 36-43)
July 26: “The Faith of Discipleship” (Texts: Romans 8:31-35, 37-39; Matt. 13:31-33, 44-52)
Our basic call as a congregation is to “Grow in Grace and Make Disciples.” It has been a part of our vision statement of OSLC for a very long time. Peace be in our hearts and minds these coming months and may the Holy Spirit lead us as disciples to share the love of Christ in this new world of challenges we are going to face!
“COVID-19 RESPONSE TEAM”
A Team of OSLC members has been selected to study the task of properly coming back together (when the ELCA and Synodical leadership feels it is time to consider it). We will be making plans ahead of this approval so we will be ready! Those people are:
Marcy Aaroen, Carolynn Bailey, Bill Brooks, Sean Golden, Patti Hembre, Cat Hopper, Ken Loveday, Melissa Malenda, Cassi McAllister, Ken Olander.
We are grateful for their willingness to study and
help implement a safe and secure plan of coming
back together for worship soon!

The WELCA ladies of OSLC are trying to stay in touch with each other by email (Thanks Sha-ron!) and Zoom meetings (Thanks Patty!). We all miss getting together and look forward to when we can safely meet again. If you would like to participate in the Zoom meetings each Wednes-day at 1 PM, please let Sharon Harshman or Pat-ty Neas know and they will help you.
Our plan is to put the Personal Care Kits togeth-er when we can safely do that. Soap and dark colored towels are still needed. You can drop these off at the Church office or contribute with a monetary donation earmarked for Health Kits. Thanks to all who have already donated to this important project.
Hope to SEE everyone soon!

Charity for June
Good Samaritan Back 2 School drive
We need your help to meet the deadline by June 30, 2020.
This year’s Back 2 School drive will un-doubtedly look different, but the number of families needing help will be greater than ev-er before. We are again teaming up with Good Samaritan to help supply area families with backpacks filled with school supplies. Would you please consider donating $10 to sponsor a local child? Maybe you could even sponsor a child for each of your own children or for your grandchildren. Our goal is to sponsor 350 children this year.
Good Samaritan has requested this money be turned in by the first week in July. The pro-cess of handing out the backpacks is going to be much more complicated this year, so they need an early start getting these supplies into the hands of area children.
If you can help us meet this need, please write Good Sam B2S on the memo line of your check and either mail it or drop it off at the church office. Thank you so much for your generosity in helping the youngest
members of our community return to school with the supplies they need to succeed in the coming yea
Monetary and food donations are always
welcomed. Your donations make a differ-
ence in many lives. Food items needed:
We cannot accept expired food.
Crackers Soup Dry beans Muffin mix Potato flakes Pasta Pasta sauce Canned fruit
Twenty-one grocery bags were given in late April to the
Rice Raisins Apple sauce Hot/cold Cereal Vienna Sausage Pop Tarts Oatmeal Evaporated milk

Parish Nurse Updates
I have been loving these hot, warm, & sunny days. Sunshine just has a way of bringing joy to the heart. However, too much sun can have adverse effects resulting in harm to our bodies.
It is summer! Hopefully we are going to be seeing a lot of the sun and gaining enjoyment from it. I think it is vital that we know what precautions to take to avoid the harmful effects that being in
the sun too long can bring. Things such as:
1. Always apply sunscreen to you and your children & reapply when you are going to be ex posed for long periods of time.
2. Wear sunglasses, wide brimmed hats, & long sleeves to protect your eyes and skin.
3. Stay hydrated. Hydration is vital in so many bodily functions and can easily be neglected. Drink lots of water!!!
I also have enjoyed the rain the last few weeks. Not as much so but knowing that it is needed makes me appreciate its benefits. So, I urge you to…
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate…Hydration is critical in maintaining one’s health.
Drinking enough water to keep us hydrated plays a critical role in our health. Our bodies use water in all its cells, organs, and tissues to help regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions.
Water protects your tissues, spinal cord, and joints. It also aids in digestion and helps our bod-ies to remove waste. Keeping our bodies hydrated helps it to maintain optimal levels of mois-ture in sensitive areas as well as in the blood, bones, & brain. It is recommended to drink at least 64 ounces of water a day, however because of disease processes or illnesses you should check with your Dr. on the amount of water that is best for you.
Jesus voiced concerned in his teachings on hydration but in a different way. We all know the story of the woman at the well in John 4. Jesus offered the Samaritan woman water to drink so that she would never thirst again. The water he offered her represented the Holy Spirit. He knew that hydration to our souls is just as important as hydration in our bodies. Don’t forget to pray, meditate daily on God’s word, and rest in His presence to stay hydrated spiritually. Hy-dration is critical in maintaining one’s spiritual health.
~Go God!!! Melissa Malenda, RN-parish nurse
***Remember to use clean hygiene, social distancing and wear mask if you feel the need!***
I am looking forward to when we can meet again and re-start the parish nurse programs. I miss you all and am here to help any way that I can.
…our “Melting Pot crew” who continues to make meals for Good Samaritan Ministry’s “Daily Bread Pro-gram” at Munsey.
…our church staff, who have not ceased to work during this pandemic, keeping safe distances from one anoth-er and continuing to do daily ministry the best they can.
…our children and youth who continue to provide our congregation and the community inspiring reminders of God’s love and hope through the making of butterflies, hearts (for our “Tree of Hope”) and for Pentecost’s children’s sermon. You are wonderful all!
…the congregation, for their patience and prayers during this time of sheltering in, and, during this new time of beginning to open up more and more.
…the congregation, those who do check on one another from time-to-time. You make a difference by allowing others to simply hear your voice!
…our bishops, Elizabeth Eaton and Kevin Strickland, for their guidance, love, support, and faith during this time of COVID 19 threats.
…our Council, who continues to meet (via Zoom) in order to keep ministry going these days.
…our new committees: Heartsong Director Search Team and the COVID 19 Response Team, for their com-mitting time and effort to move forward in these days of uncertainty.
…Shawn Dahlke, for his single handed work on getting our “live-streaming” program set up to become a per-manent part of our weekly worship offerings to the public.
…Gene Maddox, Mary Alice Nipper, Carolynn Bailey, Chris Epperson and Cindy Watkins for their part in providing on-line worship this past month (and weeks).
...to everyone who purchased and help prepare greens and mac & cheese for our Loaves & Fishes partnership
...to Susan Reaves for her tireless work with paying the bills and keeping records.
...to Gene Maddox in researching financial institutions that better serve our church’s investment needs.
...to Jeannie Fortier who finds great bargains for our food pantry..
Dear Members of Our Saviour Lutheran Church,
Thank you for the donation of $100 to the South-ern Appalachian Ronald McDonald House Chari-ties, Inc. Because you chose to “make a difference” we can continue to provide a home-like atmos-phere, food and support for families with a child in crisis.
Sincerely, Malia Grant Chief Executive Officer
