From the Pastor

Anniversaries

2017 marks two significant anniversaries in the life of St. Timothy. First,

on the international front, Lutherans around the world are observing

2017 as the 500th year of the Lutheran Church. On October 31, 1517,

Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses upon the door of the Castle Church

in Wittenberg, Germany. While Lutherans join all Christians in

regarding that Pentecost nearly 2,000 years ago, as recorded in Acts 1,

as the true birth of the Church, 1517 certainly marks the beginning of a

reforming movement within the Church catholic, of which we are part.

Traditionally, Reformation Day (usually the Sunday before October 31)

has been observed as a sort of Lutheran Independence Day.

Generations of Lutherans celebrated their separation from the Roman

Catholic Church and their particularity among Christian groups. In an

increasingly secular world, and following nearly two generations of

ecumenical dialogue, it seems inappropriate for us to focus on the

divisions within the Body of Christ.

At its core, the Lutheran movement sought to reform within the Church

catholic, rather than establish a new church. Although the publication

of the 95 Theses (each one a statement for debate regarding the sale of

indulgences) eventually led to division in the church, many of the

innovations of the Lutheran reformation were eventually adopted by

the Roman Church. Throughout the world, Lutherans are inviting

ecumenical partners to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the 95 Theses

as an opportunity for dialogue and reconciliation. I’m hoping that we at

St. Timothy may join in such an observance and have already begun

dialogue with a local Catholic parish.

Page 7: 395 Valley Road, Wayne, New Jersey 07470 · Sienna Willow Eckert, granddaughter of Le and Frank Eckert There have been no Memorial purchases during this month. No Memorial Garden

The other anniversary in 2017 is one that hits even closer to home. St.

Timothy will celebrate its 60th anniversary on September 29, the feast

of St. Michael and All Angels. September 29 falls on a Friday next year,

so I suspect that we’ll celebrate our anniversary on either September

23, the Sunday before, or October 1, the following Sunday. Better yet,

we’ll probably want to devote more than a single Sunday to the

celebration of God’s goodness. Between Lutheranism’s 500th and St.

Timothy’s 50th, we should be able to find numerous opportunities to

celebrate our heritage.

It’s appropriate that we begin planning our observance of both

anniversaries well in advance of next autumn. If you’d like to be part of

the planning committee, please let me know as soon as possible.

In Jesus’ name,

Pastor Robin Mountenay

Laurie’s regular office hours will

change for the summer months,

July and August, as follows:

Monday – Wednesday

9am – 1pm

MEMORIALS

Since May 15, 2016, gifts were given to the General Memorial Fund in memory of: Judy Suther to the Organ Restoration Fund in memory of: Marianne Nelson, dear friend of Etta Ebersbach and to the Memorial Garden Fund in memory of: Judy Suther Sienna Willow Eckert, granddaughter of Le and Frank Eckert There have been no Memorial purchases during this month.

No Memorial Garden pavers were purchased this month, so our paver total stands at 106. The price of a paver is $300.00. Checks may be made to St. Timothy Memorial Fund, with the words “Memorial Garden” on the memo line. Pavers may be engraved with the names of deceased loved ones, or left blank for future engraving. Paver application sheets are available in the narthex. Please see Pat Winters or Judy Suther for further information or

assistance. The Memorial Garden is self-supporting; gifts are welcome at all times!

We also welcome contributions to the fund for restoration and enhancement of our Church organ. The work is on-going and should be completed very soon. Checks may be made to St. Timothy Memorial Fund, with the words “Organ Repair” on the memo line.

We are grateful to all who have given to the St. Timothy Memorial Funds – the General Memorial Fund, the Music Fund, the George Laubscher Monday Morning Fund, the Memorial Garden Fund, the Eternal Light Candle Fund, and the Flanders and Schleer Scholarship Loan Funds – and for the faithful loan repayments.

I have just finished reading My Name is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout. I found this

book to be full of pieces of wisdom. In my article today I'll share some. But first

we'll start with your journaling thought.

The wonderful thing about being human is we can choose how we act at any given

moment. I choose to…

Don’t know what to give a friend or relative for an occasion? Give one of your

favorite old books with a personalized, heartfelt note inside about what the book

meant to you and that you hope it will be as meaningful to the person you are

giving it to.

The shadow rule: When your shadow is shorter than you are, stay out of the sun.

This is when its rays are strongest.

Chances are you won't be in an active shooter situation but remember in a mall or

other public place check out where all the exits are. Don't forget there is usually

another exit through the kitchen in a restaurant. Best bet is to run. If you hide in a

closet or bathroom either lock the door if possible or block it with something.

Pour a half of cup of Hydrogen peroxide down a smelly bathroom sink or drain to

clears away hair, etc. Pour a half of a cup of baking soda followed by one cup of

warmed vinegar down kitchen sink drain. Wait 20 minutes, then fill sink nearly full.

Pick up stopper and the rush of cold water will flush away baking soda and food

particles caught in drain.

"There are elements that determine paths taken, and we can seldom find them or

point to them….” In hindsight can you remember a few that may have set you on a

particular path. by Elizabeth Strout

"It interests me how we find ways to feel superior to another person, another group

of people. It happens everywhere, and all the time. Whatever we call it, I think it is

the lowest of who we are, this need to find someone else to put down." by

Elizabeth Strout

"God lives in us, and we live in God. So when we pray it is not an "I-Thou" but an "I-

I" relationship. The Spirit prays in us and we pray in the Spirit. God lives and moves

in us and we live and move in God." When God says No by Daniel Lanahan, O.F.M.

On this 15th anniversary, we will take time to thank all first responders for the work they do. If you are, or a member of your family is a first responder, please advise Laurie in the church office - 973 694 8316.

We will be sending out more details over the summer months.

Navajo Lutheran Mission ● Campbell Soup Labels

The Campbell Soup Label program will be discontinued on July 31, 2016. Here at the Mission we receive labels from all over the country, and many more are mailed directly to the program headquarters earmarked for the Mission’s benefit. Over the years, the piles of carefully clopped labels have added up to at least 8 new vehicles, tables, chairs, school supplies, and much, much more.

Labels received and recorded prior to July 31st can still count toward valuable resources for the Mission and School.

The Campbell Soup Label program has been a God-send to Navajo Lutheran Mission. The benefits to the Navajo people are more than can be numbered. Please accept our sincere gratitude for the many dedicated individuals and congregations who have participated. We look forward to the new pathway of relationship and support that we can develop in the future.

Heart ‘n Hands Mission It is already the middle of June and summer is almost here. Summer can be difficult for the children of the families we serve who don’t have the opportunity to go to summer camps or participate in community recreation programs. A simple children’s story book or a coloring book and crayons

can help pass the time on long hot summer days and nights. We will collect these items through August, and distribute them as quickly as possible. You can place donations in our basket at the top of the stairs, and thank you for helping to put a bit more sunshine into the lives of our young friends in need.

Nathan Eklund returns to St. Timothy, bringing some friends and playing his cool jazz to accompany a barbeque dinner catered by Bourbon BBQ of Wyckoff, all to benefit the Mission. The doors will open at 6:30 pm, dinner will be served at 7:00, and the concert begins at 7:30. The night will include a silent auction, and you can bid on a variety of baskets, a round of golf and a week on the Outer Banks. Tickets will be available after worship services through the summer, and can be reserved by calling the church office, selecting Mailbox 6, and leaving a message with your ticket order. Tickets are $35.00 for adults and children age 13 and over.

Children under 12 can enjoy pizza, a movie and snacks with Hannah and Christian Wantula for only $10.00. Make it a date night and bring the whole family!

Dear St Timothy

As we go to press, FPPC is in transition. Below please find the announcement from Board president Jim Adreano.

Dear Congregation Leaders and Volunteer Coordinators: This is to advise you that Family Promise of Passaic County is temporarily suspending operations.

WHAT THIS MEANS Effective immediately we will not be accepting new families into the program, pending further

decisions as to the direction of the program. We currently have one family in the program, who will remain with us until the end of their

normal guest period. Therefore, for congregations who are scheduled to host/support over the next few weeks, it is business as usual for now. And to all who received Cathy’s request for assistance during the week of July 3, that request still stands!

WHY? Our stated mission is to help families regain independence and self-sufficiency. However, we have found it increasingly difficult to identify and attract families who meet this

definition. An increasing number of our guest families are victims of generational poverty who have little chance of attaining self-sufficiency over the short term.

Our program is not easy. Those who are not serious about attaining self-sufficiency are seeking other options.

Passaic County is opening a new shelter in Paterson for homeless families. This provides additional options for homeless families who want to stay together. Our niche of “keeping families together” is no longer unique. We expect that this will further reduce demand for our services.

NEXT STEPS We continue to believe that there remains a need to support homeless families. However, in

Passaic County, our current model may not be the best way to meet that need.…

Thanks so much for your continued support of Family Promise -Jim

Pastor, and I will be attending a meeting to help decide on the future direction of this ministry. In the meantime, St Timothy has agreed to the use of our facility for the week of July 3-10. While we have not assumed responsibility to staff the volunteers needed for this week if anyone would like to help please contact me. Until we hear otherwise we shall begin recruitment for our scheduled week of August 28th in July. Updates will be announced during services.

Thanks to all who have supported this ministry with their time, talents, gifts and prayers.

In His name, Cliff Konnerth Family Promise Coordinator for St Timothy

Paterson. Will you consider making a batch of stew!

The stew should be put into throw-away aluminum

containers and brought to the church either Saturday

night or Sunday before 10:00 a.m. At 10:00 the

stews from St. Timothy are loaded up for transport to Eva’s Kitchen.

More information and the recipe will be at Sleep Late Sunday and in the September issue of

Thank you! Eileen Smith

LEARNING LUTHER AMERICAN LUTHERAN PUBLICITY BUREAU

As we move closer to the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, the Virginia Synod of the ELCA has encouraged pastors and laity to read Luther’s writings with the help of reading guides written by the Rev. Dr. Paul Hinlicky. These guides are available on the ALPB.org site. A new guide is produced each month and covers the Catechism and other writings of Luther. If you wish to join in this endeavor, the guides can be accessed by going to: ALPB.org and clicking on “Extras” on the home page. Or one may go to the link: http://alpb.org/category/extras/ If you are unable to access the link, please let me know and I will get a copy to you. Eileen Smith

Godspeed Wantulas!!!

Hannah, and Christian (along with dad Rich) are

a mission full of love and service.

The youth are still taking Flocking orders. For the

middle/end of July. You will read elsewhere in TIPs that Family Promise has

suspended operations so our designated beneficiary may have to be changed. The

youth are considering possible options and will announce when the Family Promise

situation is clarified.

Busy Hannah and Christian also kicked off

an expanded youth program with a Youth

and Family fun event on Saturday June 11th.

Much fun was had with more than a dozen

St Timmers joining together in a balloon

tennis tournament and squirt gun cup races.

And of course along with Christian

fellowship was the obligatory pizza and ice

cream.

Keep your eyes on the Youth Bulletin

Board for more youth activities

including our Tent City homeless

experience.

To God alone the Glory,
