                                      “Sacred Summertime”
As a child I remember the last day of school as a day of liberation, freedom, and joy. The final bell
rang, and I was free! My summers were filled with playing outdoors from morning until dark. I did not
even own a watch until I was 10, so the sun told me when to be home. Evenings were filled with
backyard camp outs, watching fireflies, and sleeping under the stars. Once a year we would pack up
camping gear and head for northern Wisconsin and sleep in the woods, swim in the lake and build fires.
Summer was sacred. For the last 30 years I have lived a bit further north where the winters are long,
cold, and dark but the summers are amazing. Super long days, warm temperatures and endless sky
reveal God’s creation as wonder and winds, growth, and goodness for all. Serving as a pastor on these
prairies has reinforced and expanded my childhood experiences of summer. In North Dakota summer is
Sacred.

                            “What makes summer sacred for you?”
Every summer day in North Dakota we see the goodness of God’s love in every new leaf, bud, and
blossom. The bugs and butterflies rise up and abound in life as our long dormant land comes alive. The
birds cannot keep from singing. All of creation gives praise to God for the new life that comes in
summer.

As you make plans for your Sacred Summertime, I encourage you to rest, renew and give praise to
God. Take time to see the beauty all around you, remembering God’s everlasting promise to be with
you always. Make plans to connect with family and neighbors celebrate and nurture your relationships,
see God’s love in each other. Rest in warmth of sunshine allowing God’s acceptance of you as you are
to give you permission to love yourself. Take a walk in the cool of the day, knowing that Christ walks
with you every step. Slow down and sit for a moment to take in the gift of the day that the Lord has
made. Listen in the morning or evening as the birds give praise to God in their song. Time does not
stand still for any of us. Indeed, time seems to move faster and faster. This is all the more reason to
enjoy our summertime.

During the first snowstorm of many in our new home here in Bismarck, I met one of my neighbors
Shawn. Through the snow, wind and cold we greeted each other as we shook gloved hands. He said,
“Good to meet you...we can visit more in the summer.” And with that we went back to our warm
homes. I think I will walk over now and get to know my new neighbor and offer him a beverage and a
bare handshake, sit in the sunshine, and give thanks. Let summer be a time of sabbath for you.

Peace and blessings. Pastor John Streccius

Thank you to all the quilters who put together quilts, helped display them on quilt Sunday and

expressions of God's grace and love to people all around the world. We were able to ship 147

auction. We collected over $500 from the congregation to help with shipping costs.

The quilters are always in need of flat sheets for the backing of the quilts!

LORD OF LIFE BOOK CLUB

Join us on June 1 at 4:45 pm for discussion on the book, “Sometimes I Lie" by Alice Feeney.
Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She
can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened,
but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her
paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty
years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's
the truth? Those that have read this book have said it is hard to put down, just when you think
you know where the story is going it throws you a curve! Join us again for Book Club on July
13 at 4:45 pm for discussion on "The Stranger in the Lifeboat" by Mitch Albom. What would
happen if we called on God for help and God actually appeared? In Mitch Albom’s profound
new novel of hope and faith, a group of shipwrecked passengers pull a strange man from the
sea. He claims to be “the Lord.” And he says he can only save them if they all believe in
him. A fast-paced, compelling novel that makes you ponder your deepest beliefs, "The Stranger
in the Lifeboat" suggests that answers to our prayers may be found where we least expect them.

Join us for Pub Theology this summer! Join Pastor John and Pastor Beth on the fourth Tuesday
of the month at Laughing Sun Brewery at 5:30 pm for food, drinks, fun and some great

Pastor reports were also included in the packet.

Old Business:
   1. Staffing Update
              Lee Bryant, Youth Director has resigned. A paragraph explaining his resignation was placed in
              the bulletin. Mr. Bryant is geared more toward focusing on adults rather than children. Family
              concerns have taken him back to West Virginia and he left Thursday. The Executive Team
              recommends providing a severance package of salary through June. Cindy Anderson moved that
              Lee Bryant receive severance pay through June. Karl Carlson seconded the motion. There was a
              question of whether the recommendation was made expecting Mr. Bryant to work through May.
              The Executive Team responded that yes that was the expectation. However, a family emergency
              caused him to leave. Lark Welch commented that not as many individuals were involved in the
              interview process as for previous youth director and recommended that more individuals be
              involved in the interview process going forward. Senior Pastor has the final say in the hiring
              process for staff positions. Cindy Anderson commented that in the past she has served on a
              committee that interviewed and hired youth director. Discussion included recommendation that a
              written process in hiring should be developed. Pastor John Streccius commented that there would
be a recommendation to look having the Youth Director position being less than full time going
              forward.

              Pastor John Streccius reported that they had spoken with a couple of members of the
              congregation regarding the Children and Family Ministry Coordinator position, and don’t see
              that as a possibility. Betsy Debertin has volunteered to help as an employee to keep things going
              over the summer working 10-15 hours at the most. There was discussion regarding the
              possibility of making one full time position out of two part time positions that are difficult to fill.
              If the right person were to apply that may be possible. There is some concern regarding the
              overlap of timing of confirmation and church school. There are potential benefits to having
              continuity throughout the programs. Recommend to keep job descriptions fluid. Bible camps are
              struggling to find staff as well. Three individuals are stepping up to help with Vacation Bible
              School. Without a Youth Director, Pathfinder Camp July 10th - 15th probably biggest void. Pastor
              Beth will be going up for a couple of days July 10th - 12th. The current intention is to get both
              positions filled by the fall. Betsy Debertin could provide interim help for children and family.
              Also looking for interim help for youth.

   2. WND Synod Assembly, June 3-5, Minot - Cindy, Bob, Bruce, Linda
           Bruce Boe, Linda Simmons, Cindy Anderson, Bob McConnell and pastors are all delegates to
           the synod. Bishop has given a video for use during worship. There will be no communion.
           Wednesday will be Vacation Bible School worship.

   3. Strategic Planning
              The Executive Team has been discussing resuming strategic planning. How and why statements
              were done a few years ago. Pastor John Streccius has some background in leading strategic
              planning. The process would start in the fall shortly after school starts. It would involve an initial
              meeting other than council meeting. Strategic planning typically takes 6-9 months of meetings
              amongst all members. Pastor John Streccius will be meeting with couple of others in town that
              are going through similar process. May be useful to revisit some of the how and why statements.

   4. Gaming application for copier
            The Pastors and Jessica Axtman have submitted a request for a grant to purchase a new copy
            machine.

   5. New Benevolence & Refugee Support
           The budget includes a new benevolence project that Pastor John Streccius has been asked to lead.
           Pastor John Streccius stated he would like to work with the Congregational Care and Outreach
           Team to look at having the Thanksgiving Eve service to include other groups outside of the
           church because it is a government holiday rather than religious. Bismarck Global Neighbors are
           already working with different groups and do a monthly meal. The funds would likely to go
           toward the meal. Bismarck Global Neighbors are supposed to be at Lord of Life on Sunday at
           9:45 during Adult Education. Could also look into Lutheran Immigration Services.

New Business:
  1. Team meeting conflicts in June (VSB) and July (July 5)
             Team meetings scheduled for the first week in June will occur during Vacation Bible School and
             July meetings may fall on July 5th. Teams should be aware consider rescheduling.

   2. God’s Work Our Hands (Sunday, Sept. 11)
God’s Work Our Hands is a national service Sunday that always falls on Rally Sunday. One
              suggestion to participate would be to take the Saturday before that to clean up Sleepy Hollow
              Park where Rally Sunday events will be held. Recommend to discuss among teams.

   3. Other new business.
             The Executive Team going to work on the job description for Youth Director. In the meantime,
             Pastor Beth Walch is helping with the Pathfinder Camp. It isn’t a requirement to have a
             representative but is a good way for the Youth Director to connect with kids.

              On June 10th Lord of Life will be hosting a choir from St. Steven’s in Bloomington, MN. There
              will be a free will offering. The choir will be doing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor
              Dreamcoat and will be staying at the church. Lord of Life youth invited in.

              Quilt day has been taken care of.

Team Concerns:
     Worship and Music Team - Congregational Care & Outreach is helping and the sign-up sheets are being
     slowly filled. There are three new assistant ministers.

       Property Team - Dallas Anderson is working on getting an updated elevator quote. Noted that the
       Facility Manager and cleaning staff have done a great job.

       Congregational Care & Outreach Team - The Team purchased 200 travel tokens to the Dream Center.
       The food pantry is getting used a lot. Team is setting aside funds to keep it filled. Will make sure that
       there are bags available if needed. Council discussed concerns if there is a more transient population in
       the neighborhood now.

       Other Discussion -
       Missouri Slope - Has moved all skilled nursing residents to other campus. Their plan is to renovate the
       old campus because it is mostly shared rooms that will be converted to single rooms. There is
       anticipated sustained demand in nursing home beds in next 10 years. Lord of Life helped furnish the
       chapel and challenged Church of the Cross to fundraise as well.
       Security - The Property Team discussed that security cameras cover the first 4 parking spots. There is a
       lot of traffic through the parking lot. A doorbell has been installed for the office.

Next council meeting:
       The next council meeting will be June 21st, 2022 at 7:00 p.m.

The meeting was closed with the Lord’s Prayer.

Respectfully Submitted,
Erin Dukart
