Seasons of faith: Summer.

How does summertime remind you of faith? At times we assume that our faith is not vibrant, full of life. Perhaps we think of ourselves as lacking faith. Consider summertime. As long as it rains, and it often does, everything grows. The grass grows fast, the trees, more slowly. We work to contain the growth and encourage the summer life according to our wishes. Yet in all the managing, we don’t produce the growth. We defend what we have planted from pests and other plants that would overtake them, but the growth is a joyful mystery.

So it is with faith. We nurture faith in ourselves and others and it grows by nature. Unlike plants in the fall or winter, faith never stops growing. It might go “underground.” It might be disguised. It might appear dormant, but it is always growing, and it never depends on us. We do not produce our own faith. Sure, we can be more aware or less aware

of our faith, and clearly it is more helpful to be aware of our faith than not, but there are no “magic” formulas or necessary step-by-step processes for faith production. Faith grows as summer foliage: It just does.

Mingled with all the extra work managing the “growing season” of summer, we also rest (vacation!). Likewise, in our faith, we rest knowing that God welcomes us as children. Baptism reminds us of the gift of faith and of our belovedness as children of God. All of life, faith included, is the gift by which we live in the presence of Mercy and Peace, with joy. You are beloved, foibles, “failures,” frustrations, mistakes, disappointments, and all. Along with all of our gifts. No one is excluded in this giftedness and mercy. The family of God has no boundaries. Sure, we tend to set limits, but these are not the work of the Divine Mystery, the source and ground of all life. The

COMMUNITYAID CLOTHING

COLLECTION BIN Barren’s Council has approved partnering with CommunityAid by placing a clothing collection bin at the end of our side parking lot.

The donated clothing in the bin will be removed several times each week and sold in CommunityAid thrift stores. Based on the weight of the clothing in the bin, Barren’s is awarded with a quarterly cash donation per pound. This is mainly a clothing/shoe bin; however, small household items may be included, as long as they are not glass or breakable items. In addition, we will receive free clothing vouchers for the needy in our area, which can be used in any CommunityAid thrift store. After one year, we are also eligible to apply for a grant.

Please help get the word out that we have a bin in our parking lot; this is not only a fundraiser for us, but also helps improve the quality of life for individuals and families in our local communities.

Place your unneeded/in

good condition clothing into the bin today!

Visit CommunityAid website for additional information: www.communityaid.net.

Our graduates will be recognized during worship on Sunday, June 4 at Barren’s and June 11 at Emmanuel. As our graduates look forward to the next phase of their lives with excitement, anticipation, and perhaps a little apprehension, we hope these words will serve them well: “Do not pray for an easy life; pray to be a stronger person. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers but for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you will be the miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself and the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God.” (source: The Newsletter). May God bless you wherever the road may lead you.

Barren’s Council Meeting Minutes - April 11, 2017

Treasurers Report; Carl: $353 from the pancake supper held in February is to be donated to the ELCA Disaster Relief Fund and $500 from the spaghetti dinner held in March will be donated to Habitat for Humanity . Comptroller Report: The discrepancy in the comptrollers report was caused by the absence of the Property Insurance Line Item because the premium had been paid in December 2016. There was nothing of note to address this month.

Unfinished Business: • Plaque acknowledging the donations for church house windows/blinds has been ordered. • Linda left message for East Shore Church’s altar guild about cleaning our paraments.

New Business: • New rule to be added to current list will state that the church will not be held responsible

for anything left behind in the Church House or anything that is lost as a result of using the Church House. For example, if someone stated they lost a laptop computer or a cell phone, we would not want to be liable for such an item.

• Ralph has volunteered to install a motion detector light outside the CH kitchen door. • A service of “Renewal of Wedding Vows” will be held at Barrens Farmer’s Fair Weekend

for family members of a former member. The service will not be officiated by Pastor Roy. In lieu of the usual $75 charge, council agreed to a donation to the church instead.

volunteered to contact Boscov’s and schedule a day to sell the $5 coupons with all proceeds going to the church. The coupon is good for 25% off most purchases made October 17 only.

Attendance: Ralph Diller Linda Gochenauer Richard Harner Kevin Hoke Laurie Hoover MaryJo Rodriguez Lori Ross Carl Shearer Clint Shearer Rev. Roy Stetler Tammy Wagner


New Business: • Anyone scheduling meetings or activities in the church house should make sure they appear on the Google calendar
