Sharing Our Faith With Each Other
by Pastor June Wilkins
So those who welcomed his message were baptized,
and that day about three thousand persons were
added. 42
They devoted themselves to the apostles’
teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and
the prayers. – Acts 2:41-42
Whenever you read the book of Acts, it’s obvious that
anytime the disciples were together, they spent a
huge amount of their time to talking about their faith
and praying together. In the thousands of years since
that time, many Christian churches (especially
mainline Christian churches) have lost that focus and
habit. For seven weeks, starting this October,
Gethsemane will work on regaining that practice. Here
is some information:
• Starting on October 12, we will meet in small
groups on Sundays at 10:45am immediately
after worship. We will share our faith, and
pray for one another and our ministry
together.
• This will be similar to our Lenten Study of
Unbinding Your Heart. We will use a different
book in the same series called Unbinding Your
Soul.
• You do not need to have been in the Lenten
Groups to participate now.
• You will be in a different group with different
people. I am hoping we have even wider
participation from the congregation.
• We will ask you to sign up for these groups
during the month of September.
• If you would like to be in a group with a
spouse or friend, you will be able to ask for
that.
• This is a great opportunity to invite someone
who is not part of a faith community – or not
even sure about faith in God or Jesus – to
come and share their thoughts with other
people in a safe group. They do not need to
come to worship, just come for the small
group at 10:45am.
• If you bring a friend, they will be put into a
group with you.
• You will have the option to continue or not
after four weeks.
• If you can’t be there every week, that
shouldn’t stop you from joining in!
If you don’t normally participate in our Adult
Education, consider making a commitment for these
seven weeks.
I believe that amazing things can happen when we
devote ourselves to prayer and to one another. I know
that the Holy Spirit can work through our relationships
and our open hearts. I am looking forward to see what
great things happen at Gethsemane!
Peace,
Pr. June Wilkins

"Jesus wants us to give because it's good for us."
Sunday, September 28 guest preacher Hank
Langknecht will address this topic in his sermon. He is
preaching at the invitation of your Stewardship aka
Growing in Discipleship Ministry Team. Last February
our Ministry Team sponsored the “Gethsemane is
Awesome” banner in the narthex. Then in March we
held a session during Adult Education hour on the
difference between Discipleship and Membership.
Hank was one of the presenters during that class.
Some of the discussion concerned why giving is
something Jesus wants of his disciples. The familiar
reasons related to thanksgiving for gifts received were
mentioned, and then Hank said Jesus wants us to give
because it is good for us, as in good for growing our
faith and discipleship. Then someone said they would
love to hear his sermon on the topic. All jests aside,
here it is, Hank's sermon on
"Jesus wants us to give because it's good for us."
This is a Growing in Discipleship event sponsored by
your Stewardship Ministry Team.

Blessed are the Peacemakers,
for they will be called Children of God –
A Call for Peace in the Holy Land
Dear Friends,
Arrangements for me to lead a 4-week learning
experience on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict were
made months ago. What a sad and tragic irony that
our sessions were scheduled for this time frame, right
at the conclusion of this horrendous round of
violence, death and destruction that we have all been
witness to in the war between Israel and Hamas in
Gaza. I say ‘conclusion’ with some apprehension
because as I write, the conflict has not subsided. It is
still ongoing. At least we are all acutely aware of the
significance of this interminable conflict, and the
importance of finding some resolution. It is not a
hopeful time.
Nevertheless, this is what we are called to do, to
engage the world as peacemakers, as the people of
God who have a vision and a hope for a better day and
for a better way than repeatedly resorting to violence
as the way of resolving our differences. It is never easy
being peacemakers, and it is especially difficult now.
However, as children of God, as the ones who have
been given a vision, it is a time of urgency, a critical
time to engage and imagine a better way.
For our time together, I have planned the following
schedule of activities.
Sept. 14 – A Quick Overview of the Israeli-Palestinian
Conflict
Sept. 21 – A Zionist Vision for Peace with Visitors from
the Columbus Jewish Community
Sept. 28 – Israel, Gaza and the West Bank: Drawing
Distinctions
Oct. 05 – Don’t Just Sit There: An Action Plan for
Making a Difference
There is a lot packed into this four-week schedule of
discussions, including especially hearing from our
friends in the Jewish community, friends of mine who
are active in J Street, the pro-Israel, pro-peace Jewish
organization that focuses on education and advocacy
for a two-state solution between Israel and the
Palestinians. I hope you will join me in this 4-week
undertaking. I will also suggest some reading
assignments as a way of helping us more fully engage
this terrible conflict that invites our attention.
I am looking forward to our time together.

It’s a New Year!
Classes for all ages begin anew on Sunday, Sept. 14,
10:45am.
Children ages 3-K, grades 1-5, confirmation youth in
grades 6-8, and high school will all gather each Sunday
in their rooms in the education wing. Sometimes we
will even do things together! This year we will focus
on the lectionary readings to help us connect worship
with our learning time and our church life. Drama, art,
puppets, service projects – all these will be a part of
our time together. Stop by on a Sunday morning to
see what’s going on – it’s a happening place!
Being a part of a child’s or youth’s life can take many
forms. Most people think of ‘teaching’ as lesson plans,
weekly classes, discipline. But here at Gethsemane,
‘teaching’ is different. It could be sharing with the
children/youth a passion of yours. It could be a
helping hand on a service project. Or it could be a
friendly face greeting a child or a note written to say
“I’m thinking of you”. Of course, we need those
teachers so please consider but if you don’t think of
yourself as one, consider yourself a friend. We can ALL
do that!
Coming up . . . July 15-19, 2015
Watch for details as we begin our
preparation for the journey to Detroit.

SCHOOL SUPPLIESSCHOOL SUPPLIESSCHOOL SUPPLIESSCHOOL SUPPLIES
On Saturday, Aug. 16, Gethsemane distributed
backpacks and school supplies to children of our Food
Pantry clients. Thanks to your generous donations we
had plenty to go around with some left over to hand
out again after school started on the 20th when the
children had lists of specific items they needed.

Helping Hands – 2014
What a great week we had! 25 children from Play & Learn, our tutoring program,
the Broad Meadows area, and Gethsemane sang together, heard stories of God’s
love, made friendship gifts, and collected food from our neighborhood. Pr June and
Kevin McCarty told us of the Good Samaritan story – some of us even helped as
actors!
We heard that we should love
God with all our heart and also
love our neighbors as ourselves.
Who is our neighbor? Pastor
June helped us understand that
everyone is our neighbor.
So we made friendship
bracelets to share with
our friends at the food
pantry, and shiny tissue paper heart magnets, and even cat and dog toys to
give to our food pantry friends who are pet owners. Kate Lutz helped us
learn how to make bracelets (She’s made a lot! She’s a girl scout!) Thanks,
Kate!
And we collected food from our neighbors on Lincoln Ave., Stanton Ave.,
and Meadowlark Lane. Thanks to Jim Siebert and Jane Sieberth who walked
the streets on Tuesday delivering flyers so people knew to leave food on their porch for us to pick up in wagons
on Thursday. We had a great time pulling those
wagons! Thank
you Play and Learn
for loaning us your
wagons! We
collected 307
items of food . . .
wow!! We finished
our evenings with
none other than
ooey, gooey,
drippy ice cream.
Thank you to all these people who helped at VBS . . . Judy Kukikowski, Paula Sauer, Diane Langner, Margaret
Murphy, Mike Murphy, Kelly Seifert, Hilda Lyatuu, Mandy Burchfield, Angela Miller, Kate Lutz, Jane Sieberth.
Thanks to Mike and Alice Siddall for our Wednesday hotdog supper; Pr June and Kevin McCarty for driving the
bus, telling the stories, and leading songs; and Dr. Tim for playing music. –Terri Siebert, VBS director.

Gethsemane’s Fall Service Day – Part I:
Getting the Word Out
This Fall, the Outreach Ministry Team is once again sponsoring an outreach to the
neighborhood around the church. On Saturday, Nov. 8, we will have a Service Day
where our members will help local homeowners with small repair or maintenance
projects around their homes and yards. But in order to get the projects to do, we
have to get the word out. For that, we need your help to walk around the
neighborhood and drop off Service Day fliers at area homes. We will do the
walking on two Sundays: Sept. 21 and Sept. 28. On both days we will walk no more
than two hours (about noon to 2pm), and if you can only do part of the time, that’s
fine, too. (Another option is to deliver fliers on a week day.) To really have an
impact, we need lots of volunteers to deliver the fliers, so please, look for the sign
up sheets in the Narthex and Atrium Way and sign up for one or both days! If you
have any questions, contact Jim Siebert, Gary Rader, Mark Hagerdorn or Joe Reilly.
God’s Work. Our Hands
Once again the ELCA is encouraging its nearly
10,000 congregations to put their faith in action
by serving their communities in ways that share
the love of God with all of God’s people on
“God’s Work. Our Hands” Servant
Event, Sunday, Sept. 7.
You can sign up for one of the service projects
in the narthex.
• Make desserts or salads for Faith Mission
• Serve lunch at Faith Mission
• Sort “Move on Out” items at Faith Mission
• Work at the Clintonville-Beechwold community garden
• Clean/paint or do maintenance work at Jacob’s Porch
• Tie a quilt for Lutheran World Relief at church.
Wear your “God’s Work. Our Hands.” t-shirts to help increase the visual impact of
the Servant Event.

Quilting – The Final Push!
On September 28 in worship, we will dedicate our
year's worth of quilting – all the cutting, sewing, and
tying will become a beautiful display of colors, shapes,
and love. Your help is needed! On Sunday, Sept. 7, as
part of “God's Work. Our Hands” Servant Event, we
will knot quilts in the Great Hall following worship. If
you can tie a knot, you can do this! Then on Saturday
Sept. 27, we will finish all the quilts and decorate the
sanctuary pews with those beautiful colors. Help is
needed! After the dedication, the quilts will be boxed
up and sent off with those from other central Ohio
Lutheran churches to the distribution center at New
Windsor, MD. and then on to places around the world.
Be a part of this great mission. We are grateful to the
West Franklin County Chapter of Thrivent Financial for
its financial support which allows us to purchase the
batting and backings for the quilts. For more
information, see Terri Siebert, Quilt coordinator, at
890-6820 or [email protected].

PLAY AND LEARN CHRISTIAN CHILD CARE
If you are asking yourself, where did the summer go? We are
able to tell you that we know. It disappeared in the fun many
children had at Play and Learn.
There was swimming, biking, playing, creating, reading, painting,
climbing, running, jumping, singing, listening, walking to the park
for lunch . . . you surely get the picture.
One whole week was filled with the Play and Learn Olympics!
Who wouldn't enjoy participating in these hilarious venues: fishing for not so real fish,
Jell-O eating, and jumping like bunnies relays. Everyone was a winner at the class medal
ceremonies, complete with Olympic fanfare.
There were many special visitors this summer at our school too. The fire fighters and the
BIG RED truck came. We listened to wonderful stories told by Miss Joyce (Geary). Plus
Laura the Librarian was here with lots and lots of books. Never a dull moment at Play and
Learn except maybe during nap time. Smile!
Finally, the true indicator that summer IS gone and our fall program has begun in earnest
was our Meet the Teacher Night with Art Show and Ice Cream. All the children and
parents visited each child's classroom for the fall and talked with their child's new
teachers. It was a "delicious" success.
So now we are into the fall. The Director and Assistant Director are working this year to
align the P&L self-developed curriculum with the state requirements for early childhood
education. If you have been reading about the Step Up To Quality program, you already
know about the Star Rating system. Our wonderful child care program here at Gethsemane
is in the process of working towards the goals set out by the Ohio State Board of
Education. We'll keep you informed of the stars we acquire as we move ahead.
Remember to recommend Play and Learn to your neighbors, family, and friends.
