a phantom message and an
invalid self-condemnation.
Satan will accuse us when
there is nothing there to be
accused of.
Frankly, phantom guilt
is a nuisance.
Have you seen the film,
“A Beautiful Mind?” The main
character, John Nash, is a
schizophrenic. He heard voices
that were not real. He could not
escape them, but had to learn
to know they were phantoms,
not real, and that for his sanity,
he must learn to ignore them,
not empower them.
Learning to live with
phantom guilt is like that. “It is
for freedom that Christ has set
us free. Stand firm, then, and
do not let yourselves be
burdened again by a yoke of
slavery” – Galatians 5:1; and
similarly, “Therefore, there is
now no condemnation for
those who are in Christ Jesus”
– Romans 8:1.
Imagine that, Lutherans
who don‟t feel guilt! How cool
is that? Would you be
interested in a special Bible
class on this topic? If so, see
Pastor Dave.
-------------
Our theme this year is,
“His love – our response.” And,
it‟s happening!
On May 15th we tipped
our hats to the many servants at
OSLC who do everything from
fold bulletins to fold up tables
after fish fries. From those who
trim the roses to those who trim
the Christmas tree. From those
who communicate Sunday school
lessons to children to those who
communicate the Sunday readings
from the lectern. The list of tasks
and those who complete the tasks
could go around the globe over
and over. Thank you servants!
You don‟t do it for praise, but as
praise, praise to The One who
redeemed you! Thank you for
responding!
---------------
Phantom guilt
This story was told on a
Sunday in May during worship. A
young man from our church lay in
bed and experienced horrifically
painful leg cramps. They were
disabling to him, the discomfort
was so intense.
Whenever this
happened, he would
look down at his leg
and it was not there.
It was amputated
after an accident.
The leg was gone, but there were
phantom pains, real pains.
Do you ever walk around
feeling guilty when you have not
done anything wrong? Or, after
having just left the Lord‟s
Supper even, have you still felt
guilty? Those are phantom
feelings, phantom accusations
that you are experiencing. In
Christ, once you have been to the
cross, your guilt is gone, it has
been removed.
Phantom guilt, as we call
it, is common for everyone, but
somehow Lutherans experience
it frequently. The enemy has
several names. One of them is
the accuser. In the book,
“Pilgrim‟s Progress,” the main
character reports hearing his own
voice accusing him of things he
knows were already removed at
the cross. Come to find out, it is
Satan, standing behind him,
imitating his own voice, and
whispering messages of guilt that
do not exist – Phantom guilt.
Should you experience
this, you now know it is not real.
That guilt is no more real than
that man‟s missing leg! You may
have to live with it, but at least
you can know that Christ has
taken your burden at the cross.
It‟s not real guilt. It‟s an illusion,
David H. Hatch

If you don’t already know, Kenny Chesney’s “Goin’ Coastal Tour” is coming to Lambeau Field on Saturday, June 11. This will be a six hour concert that includes Uncle Kracker, The Zac Brown Band and Billy Currington. Our Saviour has signed up to work at a food stand during this event. There is no running involved; we will cook and sell brats, hamburgers, beer, popcorn, etc. At least 19 volunteers are needed to run the stand. Positions include kitchen workers, register people and “order fillers.” This is a great opportunity for OSLC to raise some extra cash for the church. We will be given 10 percent of the net sales from our
booth, which is at “Grid Iron Grill” located in section 308. Contact Neil Burmeister for more information at (920) 866-9088 or show your interest in volunteering by signing up at the cookie bar (no later than June 5, please). Invite a friend to work with you … there is no requirement that workers must be members of Our Saviour. However, all workers must be at least 18 years old, must show a photo ID when entering the stadium, must wear black pants (no shorts, capris, etc.) and comfortable shoes (no flip-flops, no open toe or open heel, no high heels) and must take an online alcohol awareness test prior to working any event at Lambeau
Field. A shirt and hat will be provided. We are also currently planning to work as sixth floor runners at home Packer games for the 2011-2012 season. The schedule may be ready but the players and owners are still trying to work out a new contract. Without a new contract, there is no season and, without a season, there are no games and no runners needed. This would mean a loss of around $10,000 to Our Saviour. Stay tuned for details on the need for servers for the coming season. Pray for a new contract and a football season that helps OSLC and the surrounding communities immensely!
OSLC Packer servers are “Goin’ Coastal.” Well, kinda
Spring cleaning has a meaning
Who misses the 9:15
a.m. worship service almost
every week because they had
something else to do? Did they
have an excuse? Do they have
regrets? Would they do it
differently if they could? Who
were these people? They are
our very dedicated Sunday
school teachers! While you
were in worship, they were
teaching our little ones about
the faith. Thank you teachers!
We hope you keep on serving
again this fall! Are you
interested in teaching? Call the
church office, and we will set
you up!
Thank you, worship
skippers!
Get ready for VBS mania When an event happens it seems
easy, simple, effortless. But behind the scenes is a different story. The recent ladies luncheon was a success because of the people behind the scenes.
The wonderful five-star meal was produced by Larry and Marlys Segriff, Greg Ammerman, and Bob Reinke. Additional help in the kitchen was provided by John Chamberlain, Robin Williams, Brody Wians, Katherine Hovland, Elisebeth Hovland, and Mitchel Waniger. The table settings were provided by JoAnn Vogel, JoElle Bitters, Shelley Williams and Lynn Wians. Carolyn Arndt created the name cards and Tina Pickard did the lettering. And Michelle Burhite, took the initial reservations and payments to jumpstart everything. She did everything I asked of her.
Kate Burie entertained us wonderfully. If you would like to hear her music, a CD of her music can be checked out from the OSLC library. I really appreciate all of the help that made this such a great event and apologize to anyone that I may have missed!
So, next year, please watch for notices of the ladies luncheon and plan to join us for a wonderful afternoon!
-Lynn Wians
Ladies luncheon success
We’re planning for quite an adventure this year! Join us June 27-30 from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. for vacation Bible school themed “PandaMania.” Camp Luther will lead grades one through five. OSLC volunteers will lead the preschool and kindergarten children. All children age 3 (by Sept. 1 and potty-trained) through grade 5 are welcome to come and enjoy the fun. Please complete a registration form, which can be found at the welcome center, or call the church office to complete the registration over the phone. The cost is $10 per child or $20 per family. Many volunteers are needed for a successful VBS as well. Everyone is welcome, from sixth grader helpers to retired persons. Please sign up on the large board just outside the Narthex. If you can’t volunteer but still want to help, donations are needed for our daily snacks. Check the large board just outside the Narthex and sign up for the items you can bring. Items need to be dropped off no later than Sunday, June 26. Bins for your donations can be found near the welcome center; cheese can be placed in the parlor refrigerator in the library.
Our Saviour has fielded two softball teams for the Christian softball league in both division one and two, once again this year. Post this schedule on your refrigerator and join us for a game or two (or all!) this summer. Bring your own seat, a snack, friends and relatives and make an evening of it!

Many of our young people are graduating from high school this year. Here are the future plans of
three of them. If you are a senior, please plan to attend OSLC‟s senior recognition day on Sunday, June 5.
Graduating seniors attending any of the three services will be recognized that day. Pictures and
information submitted by graduating seniors to the office (no later than May 31)
will be included on a handout on June 5.
Morgan Geurts, daughter of Marc and Jean Geurts, will graduate from
Preble High School this year. She plans to attend college in Oshkosh but hasn‟t
yet decided on her major. Her favorite verse, which was also her Confirmation
verse, is Habakkuk 3:18, “Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God
my Savior.”
What‟s her advice to others? “Remember for every decision you make
there is a consequence … so always keep God in your life to make your journey
through college and years later a positive one.”
Morgan has grown up at Our Saviour and attended OSLC‟s preschool.
She fondly remembers attending Sunday school with her little sister. She also
attended the summer programs offered at OSLC.
McKenzie Waniger, daughter of Bob and Liz Reinke, will also graduate
from Preble this year. She has plans to attend UWGB, majoring in education and
with a minor in psychology. Although the details of grade and subject are not
worked out, she would love to become a teacher.
Her Confirmation verse is also her favorite verse, which is, Isaiah 40:31,
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on
wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be
faint.”
Memories of Our Saviour are not a problem with someone who was
involved in many activities including volunteering for vacation Bible school, a
Confirmation guide and at Camp Matz. Fun memories include attending the
National Youth Gathering in New Orleans in 2010 and youth movie nights. And
how do you pay for a trip to New Orleans? McKenzie did it, in part, by waitressing at the monthly fish
fries and working the youth pizza sales.
Alex Ronsman, son of Randy and Kim Ronsman, will attend UW-
Madison after graduating from Preble High School in June. He will major in
business.
Revelation 11:15 is Alex‟s favorite verse, “The seventh angel sounded his
trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: „The kingdom of the
world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign
forever and ever.‟”
Among the memories of Our Saviour that Alex takes with him is a youth
group trip to Camp Luther.

The Office of Lay Ministry
bulletin board is ready for you!
Let‟s make it work for
everyone. The Office of Lay
Ministry is hoping to connect
those who have need with those
who can provide. If you have a
need, please write it on the new
bulletin board in the office
hallway. If you need to call it in,
please contact Michelle at 468-
4065. If you have a specific talent
to offer (i.e. you have a lawn
mower and are willing to travel),
you can write it on the list and you
could be called to use your talents
for someone at Our Saviour.
Based on the time and
talent survey completed by many
of our members last year, the
office holds a list of our members‟
interests and skill sets so that, if
needed, they can be contacted and
offered an opportunity to
serve. For example, woodworkers
may be needed to build benches or
someone may wish to start a
quilter‟s group; we can find and
invite those folks. Likewise,
perhaps a shut-in needs to have
his/her lawn mown and can be
connected to a young person who
is in their neighborhood.
OLM will help the pastors
and office staff to secure
volunteers for assisting at funerals,
weddings, general church events
and to track special needs.
Volunteers may send birthday
cards to shut-ins, coordinate meal
deliveries to someone recovering
at home, assist in folding bulletins,
preparing The Voice for mailing,
assist with data entry, etc.
This will be the place
where a board or committee in
need of new folks for a special
project or to serve on the team can
find assistance in locating
members to help. In the future,
this may be where folks come to
adopt a space for maintenance of
the building. For example, a
family may choose to adopt
washing the windows in the
atrium once a month.
The office can track who is
on what board or committee and
who is doing what task or project.
Here, members can come to find
where they can volunteer time or
see, and consider, short-term
projects that need to be completed.
Much more is to come.
Exciting? Practical?
Helpful? Ministry-centered?
Family-like? You bet! We
welcome your input!
Contact Richard Ryman,
chairman of the board of
stewardship.

iPhones, Websites, ATMs, EFTs – Do these terms scare you? Or are they part of your every day life? For some of us, we’re perfectly happy with the “good old days,” paying our bills by check or cash and visiting the bank every payday. For others, bills are paid from a phone or computer and cash is from a machine “when I need it now.” We would like your feedback on whether Our Saviour should add new ways for members to make offerings and payments. Please answer the following questions and drop this sheet in the offering plate, give to an usher or return to the church office. Would you use an ATM machine located in the welcome center to transfer cash from your bank account for church offerings and payments?
__ Yes ___ No Would you use a credit / debit card reader located in the welcome center to make cashless offerings and payments to the church?
__ Yes ___ No If your response to questions 1 and 2 is “yes,” would you prefer the ATM machine or credit / debit card reader, if only one of the two options were available?
___ ATM ____ Credit / debit card reader Would you have an objection to locating an ATM machine or credit / debit card reader in the welcome center of the church?
Optional name & contact information: ________________________________ This survey is intended to gather information from church members. Any decision to start a new program will be made by the church council. You can contact Mike Charles @ 337-0940 with any questions or discussion.
Although we had a great month for unified receipts in April ($54,059.32, which is $11,800.04 over budget), we are still behind our year -to-date budget by $10,174.90. In anticipation of the "summer giving slump" we normally face each year, the council decided to bring back the adopt-a-bill board for the summer (Memorial Day to Labor Day). With your help, it will make up our shortage. Keep in mind, we still need $10,564.82 each week to keep us on track with our budget.
