August

2019

We have entered the next phase of our Pastoral Call Pro-

cess. The Call Committee has worked diligently in their inter-

view and discernment work and the Parish Council has

made the recommendation to the congregations to extend

a call to a clergy couple.

As this month’s newsletter is being assembled, we are pre-

paring for our Special Congregational Meetings on July 28

and July 31 to act upon a recommendation from the Parish

Council to extend a Letter of Call to Rev. Evelyn J.P. Weston

and Rev. Steven Robert Panula Weston to be the pastors of

Northwoods STaR Ministries.

Hold our congregations and Northwoods STaR Ministries in

prayer, so that what we discern in selecting these pastors

might be guided by the Holy Spirit. Pray, too, for Rev. Evelyn

J.P. Weston and Rev. Steven Robert Panula Weston as they

discern whether or not God is calling them to lead us.

More information will be coming forth following the results of

the vote to call this clergy couple to be the pastors at North-

woods STaR Ministries.

Sunday School, Confirmation and Youth...

2019 OGEMA VBS Mission Project

A lot happens in 1,000 days. Especially to a baby.

From conception to about age 2, a child’s body isn’t the

only thing growing like crazy. This is also the fastest period

of key brain development, including parts of the brain

that impact language processing, attention, and even

vision and hearing. All that growth requires plenty of nutri-

ents such as iron, protein, and vitamins.

In developing countries, many new moms simply don’t

have access to the proper nutrition that fuels such

growth for their babies. Oftentimes, they lack the educa-

tion and medical guidance that will give their babies the

best start possible. And when a baby begins life malnour-

ished or unhealthy, it’s an uphill battle to catch up

through infancy, childhood, and even adulthood.

However, kids who thrive before they’re born, and who

receive adequate nutrition and health care as babies,

are better prepared to stay healthy, fight infection, grow

strong bodies, succeed in school, get jobs as adults, and

contribute to the prosperity of their communities!

You can see that the first 1,000 days are like building

blocks that have lifelong impact on children…families…

communities.

The kids at VBS can provide funds to help moms and ba-

bies get the brightest beginning they can! A $10 dona-

tion will help women and children in communities

throughout Zambia for 2 years.

These donations provide…

• community health worker visits to pregnant women to

give them the important information and help they need

(like we get from doctors in our communities!).

• help monitoring children’s growth and nutrition.

• vitamin A to prevent blindness and reduce risk of illness

or death from common infections.

• education for moms and dads on the food and nutri-

ents their children need, where to find them in their own

communities, and how to prepare them.

Join us in making a long-lasting impact across the globe!

At Roar VBS, children will have the opportunity to bring in

a monetary donation each night (anywhere from coins

to a check). We will have a “friendly competition” of

Boys vs Girls to see who can raise the most money for this

worthy cause.

Last year we raised $3,376.95 for Operation Kid-to-Kid

and World Vision. Let’s do it again!

Counselors from Luther Park Bible Camp came to

Lion’s Park in Prentice from July 8—12 to direct the

VBS program for First Prentice.
