May 31-June 1, 2014 Seventh Sunday of Easter the Happenings at St. Philip Welcome! St. Philip Lutheran Church is a community where all people are welcome, may come to know Jesus Christ, become faithful followers empowered by the Holy Spirit, and are sent with Christ’s love into the world. Sermon Preaching Series Promise to Reality: A Life Changing Gift Today begins a four-week sermon series on the Holy Spirit titled "Promise to Reality: A Life Changing Gift." Each week the sermon will be based on this theme as we look in depth at the Holy Spirit. We will explore how the disciples were promised the Holy Spirit, how the disciples received the Holy Spirit, what the disciples learned about the Holy Spirit and how the Holy Spirit worked through the disciples. This is a gift that we are still given today through baptism. We all have been promised things before and we have been given gifts before, so how does this com- pare to the gift God has given us: the Holy Spirit? Promises are always interesting because we don't know exactly what to expect, so we tend to anticipate something that is better than it will actually turn out to be. For instance, guys often love power tools and when they are told they will be given a table saw for Christmas, they usually get so excited and start to think about all of the great things they could do with this table saw. It's almost like they are children jumping up and down screaming in joy. Then the day comes when they actu- ally receive the gift, but before they can use it they have to learn how to use it. When they have learned how to use it they can cut away for as long as their hearts desire. For some people this gift turns out to be everything they have ever imagined. They use it and can't believe how wonderful it is. The anticipation and expectation about the promise ended up being the reality of what they were expecting. On the other hand, there are people who think it is a great gift, but never actually use it. It was a great idea and they are glad they have it, but they can't find a way to use it. The anticipation and expectation about the promise ended up not being the reality of what they were expecting. The same way can be true with the gift of the Holy Spirit. We have this wonderful and amazing gift, but we don't know what to do with it or we don't allow the Holy Spirit to work in our lives like it could. For the next four weeks we are going to explore this topic even more as the disciples were promised the Holy Spirit from Jesus, as they received the Holy Spirit, as the disciples learned about the Holy Spirit and as the Holy Spirit worked in their lives. We hope that you will join us these next four weeks as we explore this theme of Promise to Reality. Grace and Peace, Pr. Brad Doty

the Happenings at St. Philip

Welcome! St. Philip Lutheran Church is a community where all people are welcome,

may come to know Jesus Christ, become faithful followers empowered by

the Holy Spirit, and are sent with Christ’s love into the world.

Sermon Preaching Series Promise to Reality: A Life Changing Gift

Today begins a four-week sermon series on the Holy Spirit titled "Promise to Reality: A Life Changing Gift." Each week the sermon will be based on this theme as we look in depth at the Holy Spirit. We will explore how the disciples were promised the Holy Spirit, how the disciples received the Holy Spirit, what the disciples learned about the Holy Spirit and how the Holy Spirit worked through the disciples. This is a gift that we are still given today through baptism.

We all have been promised things before and we have been given gifts before, so how does this com-pare to the gift God has given us: the Holy Spirit? Promises are always interesting because we don't know exactly what to expect, so we tend to anticipate something that is better than it will actually turn out to be.

For instance, guys often love power tools and when they are told they will be given a table saw for Christmas, they usually get so excited and start to think about all of the great things they could do with this table saw. It's almost like they are children jumping up and down screaming in joy. Then the day comes when they actu-ally receive the gift, but before they can use it they have to learn how to use it. When they have learned how to use it they can cut away for as long as their hearts desire.

For some people this gift turns out to be everything they have ever imagined. They use it and can't believe how wonderful it is. The anticipation and expectation about the promise ended up being the reality of what they were expecting. On the other hand, there are people who think it is a great gift, but never actually use it. It was a great idea and they are glad they have it, but they can't find a way to use it. The anticipation and expectation about the promise ended up not being the reality of what they were expecting.

The same way can be true with the gift of the Holy Spirit. We have this wonderful and amazing gift, but we don't know what to do with it or we don't allow the Holy Spirit to work in our lives like it could. For the next four weeks we are going to explore this topic even more as the disciples were promised the Holy Spirit from Jesus, as they received the Holy Spirit, as the disciples learned about the Holy Spirit and as the Holy Spirit worked in their lives.

We hope that you will join us these next four weeks as we explore this theme of Promise to Reality.

Worship Notes - June 1, 2014

INTRODUCTION: In these days between Ascension

and Pentecost, we gather with the disciples in the upper

room, waiting for the Spirit to transform the church

around the world. In today's gospel Jesus prays for his

followers and for their mission in his name. Amid reli-

gious, social, and economic divisions, we seek the unity

that Jesus had with his Father. Made one in baptism, we

go forth to live our faith in the world, eager for the unity

that God intends for the whole human family.

FIRST READING: ACTS 1:6-14 Today's reading

is part of the introduction to the narrative of the outpour-

ing of the Spirit on Pentecost. These verses tell of the

risen Lord's conversation with his disciples on the eve of

his ascension.

SECOND READING: 1 Peter 4:12–14; 5:6–11 Our faith in Christ does not make us immune from the

scorn of others. Nevertheless, we are to resist the designs

of evil when we experience disparagement from others,

because we trust God's grace will strengthen and guide

us. Christians have a zeal for doing what is right in

God’s eyes no matter what the circumstances because in

baptism we are saved and made alive. Thus our Chris-

tian beliefs and behavior are to be a matter of public

record just as our baptism is.

GOSPEL: John 17:1-11 On the night before his

crucifixion, Jesus prays to his heavenly Father, asking

that those who continue his work in this world will live in

unity.

GATHERING *Please stand as you are able.

WELCOME & MINISTRY ANNOUNCEMENTS

CALL TO WORSHIP

The musical call to worship begins the service,

encouraging us to quietly prepare our hearts and

minds to receive the Word of God.

*CONFESSION & FORGIVENESS

Please stand as you are able and face the

baptismal font at the rear of the sanctuary.

All may make the sign of the cross, the sign marked

at baptism, as the minister begins.

P: Blessed be the holy Trinity, † one God, the life beyond all death, the joy beyond all sorrow, our everlasting home. C: Amen.

P: Rejoicing in Christ’s victory over sin and death, let us come before God who calls us to repentance.

Silence is kept for reflection.

P: God of life, By the resurrection of your Son you make everything new. Newness scares us, and we confess to shutting our doors in fear. We have not listened to voices that challenge us. We have resisted the Holy Spirit moving us in new directions. Our hearts are slow to believe your promises. C: Forgive us, O God, and renew us to embrace without fear the new life you have given us in Jesus Christ. Amen.

>>>

P: People of God: Christ is alive, and death has lost its power. Through the waters of bap-tism you have been born anew by the living word of God. Know that your sins are forgiven in † Jesus’ name and that the Spirit of the risen Christ is alive in you both now and forever. C: Amen.

Volunteer Opportunity Audio/Visual Team

Members of St. Philip! Do your time and talents lean toward technical type activities? The au-dio/visual team is in need of more volunteers to help run the sound and slides for our worship services. Each service needs both a sound and a slide person. We are happy to train anyone interested.

We are in need of 3 to 4 volunteers so we can always have the worship services covered. Please contact Marc DeFur at [email protected] or Steve Rower at [email protected] if you are interested. Thank you!

A Place in the Choir

All God’s people got a place in the choir!!

Yes, they do, and on Pente-cost Sunday (June 8

th), St.

Philip will prove this is true. We will have a cross-generational choir in worship, but only if you and your family participates. We are going to sing “You Are Holy,” one of our well-known worship responses as the anthem.

Come early for the service - 7:25am for the 8am service, and 9:00am for the 9:30am ser-vice. We will hand out small percussion instru-ments and then will practice singing for the ser-vice. This is a GREAT opportunity for everyone to catch some of the “spirit” of the day. So moms and dads, brothers and sisters, young and the young at heart, come on Pentecost Sunday and make a joyful noise to the Lord!!

Pentecost Sunday is June 8th

SYNOD NEWS

Synod Assembly Report by LeRae Schnickel

Thank you, St. Philip, for the opportunity to at-tend the Rocky Mountain Synod assembly May 9-10. I found it to be both informative and inspi-rational. (I especially enjoyed listening to Rev. Duran. He challenged us to trade judgment for curiosity. He wants us to get out of our comfort zone and build relationship with our neighbors.)

I attended a break-out session entitled “Mission Interpretation: Telling the Story.” I learned that a healthy stewardship ministry does not rely solely on financial response, but also focuses on education, giftedness, lifestyle, and mission interpretation.

Mission interpreters are the storytellers of our church, providing members of the congregation with a better understanding of how God uses their prayers, tithes, offerings, volunteer efforts to bring hope and healing to people in need. Through this sharing, others may be inspired to be more active in our church.

Out of Africa - Mary Mielke’s Journey

Mary Mielke is back from a month-long stay in Uganda, and she has a story to share! Mary worked with an organization called Come, Let’s Dance, a grassroots organization acting in the United States and Uganda to initiate social, en-vironmental, and economic health by inviting a generation to live intentionally in service to oth-ers.

Please join Mary on Sunday, June 1, at 10:30am (immediately following the second service) in MC 4/5 to hear her stories and see her pictures. Light refreshments will be served.

FAITH5

FAITH5™ is for families that want to connect— church to home, faith to life, and to each other!

This summer families with children of all ages are invited to participate in a FAITH5™ Ex-press. In three gatherings (normally six) we’ll cover the five faith practices: sharing, reading, talking, praying, and blessing. Each session will offer practical ideas for incorporating these faith acts into your family’s daily routine, as well as the opportunity to build community with other FAITH5™ families. Families that have been in-tentional about the FAITH5™ practices have found that they are closer to God and better connected with one another.

St. Philip’s FAITH5™ families will meet immedi-ately following worship services (10:30-12:30), on Sundays June 8, 15, and 22. Sharing a meal is part of the FAITH5™ experience.

Please contact JoHanna at [email protected] to sign up. For more information on FAITH5™ visit www.faith5.org.

Pastor Brad & Roseanna Have Exciting News!

Pastor Brad and Roseanna are having a BABY!

It is true! Roseanna is due on November 29, 2014. She is 13 weeks along, so just past the first trimester, doing great and feeling well. We have decided to not find out the gender of the

baby until the baby is born. We are very excited and can't wait to be parents!

Thank You!

Doug & Norma Mayotte and VFW Post 9644 wishes to thank St. Philip for their gen-erosity - the Buddy Poppy sales generated $131! Thank you for your support!

The funds from poppy sales are used to support VFW Post 9644’s relief efforts in many ways. For example, many of

their widow members have cancer, and the post tries to boost their income by giving them a one-time financial gift, which really makes a difference.

A Letter of Thanks

The following letter was sent to the Quilting Cir-cle and Ties That Bind from a GI whose unit received some of the blankets that our ladies made. The original letter and the photo that ac-companied it are posted on the Women of St. Philip bulletin board.

Dear Mary (DeBoer) and friends, I wanted to write to you and thank you for the wonderful blankets you made for my unit here in Afghanistan. Our mutual friend Kathy (Rat) Goldstein told me all about the work and devo-tion tht you all put into them and I can assure you that the soldiers who received them are all very grateful and appreciate them and your gesture. It is acts of love and kindness like that which goes so far towards boosting our morale and making the difficult missions we do over here bearable. As the Company First Sergeant, I would like to personally thank you for your support. It means so much. I shared some of the pictures of the soldiers with the blankets with Kathy, and I hope she was able to share them with you. Below is a picture of our unit - A Co 3-227

th Air Assault for the 1

st Air Cavalry

Bridgade from Ft. Hood, Texas. God willing, we will all be home safe and sound by the end of June. Hope you and your church family are well, God bless you and once again, from the bottom of our hearts, a very sincere Thank You! The A Co Werewolves are honored and forever grateful. V/r 1SG Michael Brown

Thank You! Thank You!

I want to personally thank the St. Philip quilters for the beautiful handmade quilts and pillow-cases given to Easter Seals Colorado camp, Rocky Mountain Village. Our kids who attend camp have many disabilities. I assure you that they will smile when they see their cabin beds with bright and colorful quilts. I am very proud to be a member of St. Philip. Thank you so much,

Nancy Hanson

CHURCH NEWS

Brrrr…..! And Other Feedback

Last Sunday, May 25th, the worshipers at the

8am service had goosebumps, but it wasn’t be-cause of Pastor Brad’s great sermon! The un-seasonably cold weather from the previous day left the sanctuary rather chilly. Several of you reported that you were uncomfortable, and we were able to resolve the problem in time for the second service.

Your feedback and comments are always wel-come - we will do our best to listen and respond the best we can. Please don’t hesitate to share your concerns with us.

Annual St. Philip Golf Outing & Silent Auction

Saturday, June 28, 2014

After last week’s snow, it’s DEFINITELY time to think GOLF!! The St. Philip Golf Outing is scheduled for June 28 at Arrowhead Country Club. We have several teams ready to go, so gather yours together and get registered! This is NOT limited to St. Philip members - any golf-ers or golfer “wannabees” are welcome. We will be having lots of contests and specials this year which will allow all levels of golfers to pos-sibly win! Events include longest drive, longest putt, closest to the pin, straightest drive (with minimal distance required - like you have to get it off the tee!), mulligans, putting string, and if all else fails, there will be a putting contest after lunch that will be open to anyone - children, non-golfers and golfers alike. We’re even pro-viding childcare! Come join us for a great day of family fun!

Need more information? Come see us at the Welcome Center kiosk in the narthex.

P.S. We’re still looking for golf cart and hole sponsorships - a truly great way to adver-tise! Talk to Linda Good-nough (303.979.4491) about becoming a sponsor.

Silent Auction & Golf Outing Update

The Silent Auction begins the weekend of June 6-7 and continues through the month. The golf outing is June 28 at Arrowhead Golf Course, and it’s not too late to sign up.

We have received wonderful donations for our silent auction! New this year will be a children’s “grab-a-ball” full of gift certificates for places kids like. There are plenty of opportunities for everyone to be involved! Remember that all proceeds go to improve the Sanctuary lighting.

Whine, Whine, We Need Wine!

Our wine wall for the Silent Auction is looking sparse and time is getting short! Please donate a bottle of your favorite wine ranging in price from $15 to $40 per bottle. Bring your wine do-nations to the church office BEFORE June 1 and leave them with business administrator Linda Goodnough. Linda will be happy to give you a receipt for your donation, if desired.

All bottles will be wrapped in either white or red paper, according to the type of wine it is, and then placed in the wine rack. In June during the weekend silent auction times, all the wines will be available for a donation of $20 per bottle. Pay $20, and you choose a wrapped bottle of wine from the wall.

Everyone is a winner! Knowing that someone at St. Philip enjoyed that wine enough to do-nate it will be the fun part of the raffle. Knowing that you are helping improve the sanctuary lighting, will be the BEST part.

Bake Shop

Something new this year is a bake shop—each week freshly made, homemade goods will be for sale in the auction area. We are looking for donations - bring your specialty any weekend in June, preferably before services on Saturday or Sunday! Items will only be sold the week they are received so each week will have something different. Contact Jan Philpy if you have ques-tions.
