Financial Peace University Returns

Last fall, Rick & Joan Benson led a nine-part class on Financial Peace based on the popular series by Dave Ramsey. Several Bethany staff members attended, and we can tell you from experience, this is a wonderful opportunity! (As Pastor Grant said, “I wish we had taken this class years ago!”)The Bensons are ready to offer this class one more time. This time, it will be held on Wednesday evenings, from 5:30-7:00 p.m., beginning September 25. As an extra incentive, we are offering full scholarships (free tuition and book!) to any person or couple 45 years old or younger. Please contact Pastor Luci, Pastor Grant or the church of-fice if you would like to sign-up. (Space is limited.) You won’t regret it!

Ushers and Greeters Safety TalkSummer Pastoral Intern Scott Burns will be hosting a discussion about keeping our congregation safe. As many of you are aware, Scott retired this past January from a career in law enforcement spanning more than two de-cades, and served the past ten years as the chief deputy of the Burnett County Sheriff ’s Office. The Council has been working with Scott to begin considering ways to increase safety for those who gather at Bethany and to begin the process of developing an all-hazards emergency action plan. This first discussion will be geared towards ushers, greeters and committee members regarding how they can become more aware of potential hazards or threats and discuss how they may best report potential problems, summon assistance and direct others to safety in the event of an emergency. Those serving as ushers, greeters and committee members are highly encouraged to come hear Scott as he shares his knowledge and experience between services on Sunday, August 18 at 9:10 a.m. in the Gathering Room.

Mark Your Calendars for September 30!On Monday, September 30, Lifetouch will be here taking photos to up-date Bethany’s picture directory. If you were unable to have your picture taken last summer or need to update your family portrait, please contact the office to let us know you are interested! We do not have time slots available yet, but we will contact those who are interested as soon as we have more information. We need a minimum of 15 sittings (families) in order to have our directory updated. Please note: if you are satisfied with your photo from 2018, you do NOT need to have your picture retaken. You will still receive an updated photo directory.

Love Without Limits“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength; and your neighbor as yourself.” --Luke 10:27

Earlier this summer, Ruth and I were privileged to enjoy a week with ten other Bethany mem-bers at Holden Village, a unique, one-of-a-kind Lutheran Retreat Center nestled in the Cas-cade Mountains of central Washington. Holden has an amazing array of activities to choose from: great hiking, music and the arts, Bible study, evening worship and stimulating lectures

on just about everything, as well as plenty of time for relaxed conversation, ice cream cones and an occasional nap.

The week we attended, one of the major presenters was Jacqueline Bussie, Professor of Inter-Faith Studies at Con-cordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota. She recently published a wonderful book, Love Without Limits, which offers a number of inspiring stories about people she has known who were able to “love across distances” of race, disability, religion and culture. But, the story behind her book is even more compelling. The original publisher refused to print some of her stories because they were considered too controversial for a mainstream audience. Having written a book about “Love Without Limits,” Professor Bussie discovered that a broad section of American society is not ready for the kind of love Jesus once practiced and preached.

If you get a chance to read her book, please do. At the very least, you might do an internet search on “Jacqueline Bussie, Censored.” At great expense to her family, Professor Bussie paid the original publisher a large sum of mon-ey to recover her rights to print the book as she intended. The book’s subtitle: “Jesus’ Radical Vision for Love with No Exceptions” is surprisingly similar to the Bethany Church Council’s visions for “2020 and Beyond.”

We envision Bethany as an intergenerational, caring, Christ-centered community, where all are ac-cepted and affirmed (with no exceptions!)—a place where new people are celebrated as gifts, and all are empowered to join in God’s work of bringing Christ’s love and light to the world.

Currently, a Bethany Task Force on “Growing an Inclusive Church” is exploring what it means to live out such a vision, particularly in regards to the LGBTQ community—a community that has come to expect that they are not welcome in most churches. Along with this Task Force, I encourage you to pray and contemplate what it means to follow Jesus in practicing “Love Without Limits.”

In Christ,Pastor Grant Aaseng

Announcements & Opportunities

Cleaning Service/Maintenance UpdateIf you haven’t heard yet, Bethany has switched to using a cleaning service instead of having a custodian on staff. ServiceMaster is currently con-tracted to clean Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Joel Rogers from Division of Vocational Rehabilitation has also been cleaning for us a few hours a week. Handyman, Harold Ely, comes at least one day per week to do any needed projects. Please let the office know if you see anything around the church that needs attention.What does this mean for groups using the church? It means that we are asking EVERYONE to make sure that the areas they use are picked up and put back to the way they were found. Please clean up any messes made, put away any equipment used and leave the room in a good condi-tion for the next person or group. We are blessed with a beautiful facility! Please help us keep Bethany looking it’s best, because when you are at Bethany, you are at home.

Memorials & Gifts Thank You NotesI wish to thank you all for your concern and prayers. They are working real hard to get me will and back on my feet. God’s Blessings ~ Sandie Anderson

We can’t begin to thank you enough for your generous donation. Luther Park, over the last few years, has experienced amazing growth in numbers and min-istry. This growth only happens with God’s great grace and your help, and for that we are deeply grateful.Thank you so much for your support and prayers as we share Christ to almost 2000 children this summer! In Christ’s Service, Keith Newman, Executive Ministry Director

I wanted to write to let you know how impressed my volunteers and I were with the youth group that came from your church and helped us. Their efforts made sodding and seeding at our home build go significantly faster than it would have without the extra hands. The leader of the trailer cleaning told me both in person and in a text how GREAT they were. Due to their efforts, more than just power washing got done, which was a wonderful bonus for the homeowner. The young adults were so willing to do whatever was needed and to help any way they could; they were a tremendous help. Their parents and your community are to be commended for raising such wonderful young adults who contribute so much. Thank you for all your support of their trip! Sincerely, Megan Dietz, Habitat for Humanity Restore/Office Manager

The family of Orlen & Pauline Eidahl thanks Pastor Grant, Pastor Luci, the staff and members of Bethany Lutheran for your prayers, care and all the cards of blessing in the death of our granddaughter, Tanya O’Brien. It meant so much to us.

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12

Door County AdventureThis year’s high school Door County adventure was more than just taking a camping trip. Our group of seven youth (Ellie Antonson, Sarah Buchli, Cali King, Jonathan Nelson, Emma Panasuk, Alexa Robarge, Mikaela Ro-barge) and two adults (Craig Antonson, Angie Buchli) had the opportunity to explore Door County and Peninsula State Park, one of Wisconsin’s most beautiful State Parks. We developed a new sense of awareness of God in our everyday lives and the beautiful earth He created. We built community as we served, explored and learned while living together in Christian fellowship. We served in several different ways on this trip. First we served each other by working together to prepare meals for the group and maintain our campsites. Second, we served the community by working with Habitat for Humanity Door County in Sturgeon Bay. We were tasked with preparing the ground, laying sod and seeding a yard. It was estimated to take us all of Tuesday and possible part of Wednesday. Our group had amazingly hard workers and we completed the task in only three hours! Tuesday evening we helped serve the Loaves & Fishes meal in Sister Bay. This meal is a monthly service ministry that provides physical and spiritual nourishment to all it touches in response to Matthew 25:37-50. This was an awesome event. They asked if the kids could come back every month. The people really enjoyed visiting with our youth and the youth got to hear their stories in return. On Wednesday, we returned to Sturgeon Bay to work again with Habitat. Our project for the day was to help pow-erwash and clean up the outside of a mobile home trailer in preparation of some repairs that need to be done. Once again, our group finished in record time in around two hours. We were so proud of how hard our kids worked! Everyone returned refreshed, renewed and reconnected from this awesome outdoor adventure. We are working on a date to share about our trip with the congregation. The youth would love to share their experience with you. Thank you for all off the wonderful support from our Bethany family!
