Annual Congregation Meeting
January 29, 2017 11:45 am
1 From the Pastor… What’s Next? I’m writing this a few days before Christmas. This evening when I came home from a church meeting, I noticed that my husband had brought home a couple gifts he’d received at the office: some homemade applesauce (yay!), a few cards, and a poinsettia… the size of Milwaukee. Seriously. This poinsettia could eat my kitchen table. I didn’t know they came that big. I could only stare at it and think, “What am I going to do with that?” It’s a beautiful plant, but now I’m going to have to take care of it! I’ll be watering that thing long after Christmas. Christmas is not over when we sing “Silent Night” or open packages, or eat Christmas dinner. The Child that comes at Christmas is a part of our lives long after the Christmas decorations get packed away. Jesus Christ doesn’t get packed up on December 26 or January 6 (epiphany). The holy child is in it for the long haul, and so are we. We’ve been given the gift of grace and faith, and now we have to nurture them. But what does it look like to be Christian in these days of fear and uncertainty? What does that look like in a time when the culture no longer supports one faith? What does it look like to be a Child of God in a time when our neighbors don’t go to church, and most Christians only make it to worship once every 2 or 3 weeks. It could look like finding someone to blame. It could mean working harder and harder to be what we once were. It could mean giving in to despair and anger. Or, it could mean turning to the Christ who was born among us on Christmas Day, and asking, “What’s next?” In Christ, God did a new, unexpected, seemingly crazy thing -- which turned out to be the only thing that could change the world. Could God be starting a new, unexpected, seemingly crazy thing among us now? What might it be? For the past 2 years, the ELCA has been considering our direction for the next 10 years. We are entering unknown territory. We can’t do what we’ve always done and be effective anymore. As we move forward, there are 5 goals that will define us. (The full document can be found at ELCA.org/future – I encourage you to read it!):
1. A thriving church spreading the gospel and deepening faith for all people 2. A church equipping people for their baptismal vocations in the world and this church 3. An inviting and welcoming church that reflects and embraces the diversity of our communities and the gifts and
opportunities that diversity brings 4. A visible church deeply committed to working ecumenically and with other people of faith for justice, peace
and reconciliation in communities and around the world 5. A well-governed, connected and sustainable church
These days after Christmas are a good time for Immanuel to consider how God is leading us into the future. Taking the lead from the ELCA, we need to consider what our priorities are for the years ahead, and how we will adapt to do God’s work in a new age. We will need everyone in prayer, discernment, questions, ideas, and wondering. We will all need to consider what new, unexpected, seemingly crazy thing God is calling us to do.
And who knows to whom God will bring the message. It could be you. (Remember, God’s first message about Jesus birth came out of nowhere to shepherds!) To begin, consider this question: “What is your hope for the future of the church?”
In 2021, Immanuel will be celebrating 150 years as a congregation in St. Paul. As we plan for the next 5 years, and the next 150 after that, we need to consider who we are, what we value, what we are being called to become, and how we will live and proclaim the good news that angels proclaimed that Christmas night.
Merry Christmas and blessings in the New Year!

January 8: Syria: Tragedy of Our Times, Mazen Halabi (rescheduled from November) Mazen Halabi, a Syrian-American, left Syria following the Hama massacre in February 1982 in which more than 40,000 people were killed by the then-President Hafez Assad. He is the public relations director of Watan; a Syrian civil society organization that provides humanitarian aid to families in Syria and works on the long term building of the civil society in Syria. He will share his story and help us understand the hopes and aspirations of the Arab Spring and the current events in Syria and the refugee crisis.

Jan 22: From the Doctrine of Discovery to Standing Rock, Pastor JoAnn Conroy The “Doctrine of Discovery” is a philosophical and legal framework dating to the 15th century that gave Christian governments moral and legal rights to invade and seize indigenous lands. Joann Conroy is a member of the Oglala Sioux tribe, an ordained Lutheran pastor, president of the ELCA Native American and Alaska Native Association and a member of SPAS Antiracism Task Force. She will
explore how this 500+ year-old international policy connects with our lives and current events.
Jan 29- February 19: Together by Grace Series with Pastor Cindy Bullock Who are the Lutherans? Courageous. Trailblazing. Diverse. Action-oriented. When people think of the various Christian churches, those words might not be ones they attach to the Lutherans—but they can be! Yes, they have roots in northern Europe, but the people called Lutherans offer liberating insights into Christian faith, encompass a worldwide reach, and tell a story that goes back 500 years while pointing to the future. This study series will take us on a journey across this broad landscape of faith and time. Newcomers will find intriguing entry points, and lifelong Lutherans will discover new dimensions. Whether it’s a passion for a grace-filled theology, worship and music that lift spirits, or a deep concern for wholeness and justice, Lutherans are engaged in the world, alongside other Christians and those of various faiths. Jan. 29: Lutheran 101—Grace-filled Theology Feb. 5: Worship Matters Feb. 12: A Faith Active in Love Feb. 19: A Global Perspective

Christian’s Toy Box Your generosity to our 15th annual “Christian’s Toy Box” was most appreciated by the MN Children’s Hospital staff and the families they serve, not to mention by ourselves, the Osen family! Over 200 toys and gifts were delivered, and nearly $2,000 was donated by you, friends and family, and by Phillips Eye Institute employees. The Child Life Associates were extremely pleased to accept the donations and will have put most of it to good use by the time you are reading this. You provided much more than just new fun things for countless children to receive, you also gave them the gift of feeling normal despite their medical circumstances, and gave their parents some extra peace of mind during a stressful time for them as adults while trying to cope with unfortunate and challenging times for their families. Thank you all so very much!

MAKING A DIFFERENCE: AT CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL
You may have noticed some big changes that have been happening at Central High School, did you know that an Immanuel Outreach Grant helped make that possible? I have been working with a team of volunteers over the last 5 years to plan and raise funds for the Transforming Central Project. While the project was welcomed by SPPS, the $716,000 landscaping project was entirely funded by individual donations and grants. Immanuel’s Outreach Grant of $2500 was the first commitment from a church and was joined by 3 other neighborhood churches. With so much time and effort going into the planning, it has been gratifying to see the results and the reaction to the project. This very rainy fall has provided a chance to see the extensive storm water drainage system that is underground and unseen working exactly as it is designed, capturing runoff and protecting the Mississippi River. The project has significantly changed the look, feel and use of the space. Students are walking across paved paths intentionally placed where they need them (this was the #1 request from the students). I see students sitting on the seat walls, benches and stones, having informal conversations afterschool, or meeting as a class in the outdoor classroom spiral. My favorite comment was from my daughter’s counselor, who said, “This project has been a true transformation, we were all blown away when we came back to school this fall. It makes such a difference in how the students and staff feel about coming to school.” Thank you, Immanuel and the Outreach Grant for making a difference in our community. -Deb Ahlquist
Wilder Christmas Baskets
This year our annual Christmas gift project for families at Wilder Preschool saw a facelift. Instead of giving every family a standard Christmas dinner, 66 baskets were created. With input from the teachers and parents at Wilder, each basket had a theme, such as Italian dinner, game night, or restaurant gift certificates. The results were wonderful. Thank you for reaching out to families in need.
(This is what the foyer looked like as the team from Wilder arrived to load their bus.)

9 Council Update
Church Council Update – December 20, 2016
This month’s council meeting began with a devotion led by Pastor Cindy discussing the gifts from God and how we are provided for by our heavenly father. This is true in both times of prosperity when this is more evident and during times of trial when we may have to reflect and remind ourselves of the ever-present gifts from God. The remainder of our meeting consisted of updates from the Council members and committees and the highlights of the items discussed are as follows:
The council received a visit from Justin Grimm of the St. Paul Synod. Justin reviewed the work being done by both the Synod and the National Church and how our support benefits the many programs and initiates of both organizations. Justin was excited by the level of outreach and community support taking place at Immanuel. An area of focus for the efforts of the Synod are the start-up congregations which Justin spoke about and includes Shobi’s Table. Justin thanked Immanuel for its support of the Synod and asked for continued consideration of our support into next year.
The council reviewed the monthly and annual financial statements and highlighted a deficit in the annual offering income that is likely to have an impact on the net income for the year against budget. Unfortunately, this deficit is after an allocation of $11,000 from the Paulson and Youth Bequests that was approved by the council last year to cover a potential shortfall. The council focused on 3 primary resolutions to this deficit. The best remedy is to increase the offering which has not picked up in the fall as expected and to notify the congregation of this situation. The other solutions are less ideal but would include looking at programs or activities at Immanuel that could be eliminated or reduced as well as the potential of reducing the church’s benevolence giving for a year. The council was asked to consider these and other resolutions to be reviewed at the next meeting.
The council voted to forego an invitation to Youthworks at Immanuel for the summer of 2017. The vote came after much consideration based on the needs of Youthworks during their stay and the ability of staff to support the group sufficiently. Next summer the staff will be especially focused given Pastor Cindy’s expected sabbatical along with the need for additional lay leadership during this time. While Immanuel has developed a good rapport with the organization and supports their ministry, council proposed to decline the invitation for this year while informing the Youthworks organization of our intent to host them again the following summer.
The council approved a proposal by the Paulson Grant Committee to continue support of a St. Catherine’s student who is also being sponsored by the Klevan family for another semester while she goes to school and supports her family. The proposed gift for her tuition was for $2,250.
The Official minutes of each Council meeting can either be found on the Immanuel website ilcsp.org or by requesting copies at the church office. If you have any questions or comments please contact Chase Hippen, Congregation President ([email protected], 651-699-0796), or any Council member. The Council meets at 7:00 p.m. in the Gathering
