Yes we do want your money! Here’s why: The “4” R’s!
meal; but we should also use our money to reflect the
love of God and our commitment to the Gospel of
Jesus Christ.
The Biblical tithe (10%) is still the standard for
the person of faith. And it’s a blessing. My family
tithes and so do many others. Maybe it’s time for you
to step up to this Biblical mandate? Learning to be a
cheerful giver is often the first step toward ending the
fear that money has over us. But if that seems
overwhelming you might want to start with something
a little closer to home. Do you pay more to Cox Cable
than you give to the church? Does that reflect your
values? Will you spend more on meals during vacation
than you’ll give to support your faith? These are not
questions that are meant to make you feel guilty; but
they are meant to make you think about an important
part of our lives—how do we share what we have as a
reflection of who we are and what God has done for us
in Christ? They are questions that are meant to drive
you away from fear and into faith.
Several years ago the Lutheran Laity Ministries
organization came up with the four (4) R’s of
Stewardship. Why not take a moment right now to
reflect on these R’s, look at the scripture and ask for
God’s leading when it comes to the use of your
resources.
Receive God’s Gifts (Psalm 118.24) “This is the
day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad
in it.”
Reflect on God’s Gifts (Romans 12.12) “Be
joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in
prayer.”
Rejoice in God’s Gifts (Philippians 4.4) “Rejoice
in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!”
Respond to God’s Gifts (Psalm 97.1) “The LORD
reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores
rejoice”
See, you knew it! The church is only concerned
about your money! No, the church is concerned about
freeing us from lives of fear to lives of faith!
Peace!
Pastor Jeff
Perhaps it is a sick perversion in my personality,
but I have never shied away from talking about money.
And in my experience those who feel uncomfortable
about the subject are often times trapped by the fear that
money can generate. Fear that I won’t have enough.
Fear that others have more. Fear that someone is trying
to take what is mine. Fear that my money is all that I
can depend on. This fear is often a sign of a spiritual dis
-ease. I used the hyphen intentionally. A spiritual dis-
ease which is caused by my faith beginning to rub up
against the values of our culture—and this makes many
people feel uneasy. Since the opposite of faith is fear,
this fear is ultimately a spiritual issue that we are called
to address.
Now, I am completely aware that there are some
of us who quite frankly are struggling because there
simply isn’t enough money to feed the kids. To you I
say, there is no guilt or shame in this conversation. You
are in a season where money is tight and you need to be
especially cautious. Amen. I also know that there are
some who have found themselves in rather precarious
financial places because of illness or other matters.
Again, NO GUILT! We all understand that these
realities call for different strategies. But there is another
set of folks who have ‘convinced’ ourselves that money
is an issue. We are the ones who wring our hands in
regret that we don’t have more to share as we drive our
new cars, walk into our million dollar homes and plan
for our second vacation trip. Like the prodigal son we
can easily become guilty of squandering what has been
given to us as a means for making the world a better
place, by pretending (and sometimes actually
convincing ourselves) that we don’t have enough. And
we can quickly put up defenses—maybe even now you
are starting to feel uncomfortable?
But here’s the thing; money is one more tool that
God has given us to provide for the common good.
There is nothing wrong with enjoying your money,
please do provide for yourselves and enjoy the fruits of
your labor, but don’t forget that your money also carries
with it a moral and spiritual responsibility. Money is
simply a tool that we use to navigate the world and
provide for those things that we care about and love.
Thus we should feel free to use our money to buy a
little something for the grand kids or provide a special

J une brings graduations, the start of summer and a hiatus for Our Savior’s Celebration Singers. Music has
been a part of worship for thousands of years. When we gather each week for worship, we hear instruments
and join together as we “make a joyful noise” [Psalm 100.1(a)]
Why is group singing important? When we sing together, our brains actually change. Here is an excerpt from an
August 2013 edition of “Time” magazine:
…science has been hard at work trying to explain why it has such a calming yet energizing effect on people.
What researchers are beginning to discover is that singing is like an infusion of the perfect tranquilizer, the kind
that both soothes your nerves and elevates your spirits.
The elation may come from endorphins, a hormone released by singing, which is associated with feelings of
pleasure. Or it might be from oxytocin, another hormone released during singing, which has been found to
alleviate anxiety and stress. Oxytocin also enhances feelings of trust and bonding, which may explain why still
more studies have found that singing lessens feelings of depression and loneliness. A very recent study even
attempts to make the case that “music evolved as a tool of social living,” and that the pleasure that comes from
singing together is our evolutionary reward for coming together cooperatively, instead of hiding alone, every
cave-dweller for him or herself.
The benefits of singing regularly seem to be cumulative. In one study, singers were found to have lower levels
ofcortisol, indicating lower stress. A very preliminary investigation suggesting that our heart rates may sync
up during group singing could also explain why singing together sometimes feels like a guided group
meditation. Study after study has found that singing relieves anxiety and contributes to quality of life. Dr.
Julene K. Johnson, a researcher who has focused on older singers, recently began a five year study to examine
group singing as an affordable method to improve the health and well-being of older adults.
It turns out you don’t even have to be a good singer to reap the rewards. According to one 2005 study, group
singing “can produce satisfying and therapeutic sensations even when the sound produced by the vocal
instrument is of mediocre quality.” Singing groups vary from casual affairs where no audition is necessary to
serious, committed professional or avocational choirs like the Los Angeles Master Chorale or my chorus in
New York City, which I joined when I was 26 and depressed, all based on a single memory of singing in a
choir at Christmas, an experience so euphoric I never forgot it.
[Horn, S. (2013, August 16). Singing Changes Your Brain. Time.]
So sing loudly. Sing boldly. We are praising our God, AND we are doing something good for our brains.

At the end of our worship service, we say together, “The worship is over –
let the service begin”

June is here already?
Well here we are in June already! Where has the school
year gone? It seems like we just started and now we are
already hearing the band warming up for a “Pomp and
Circumstance” marathon. Before we get ahead of
ourselves let’s take a moment to review some of the
wonderful moments that have taken place in May;
During the month of May, as a congregation, we
encouraged seven of our youth as they stood up and
claimed their faith during the Rite of Confirmation
(Affirmation of Baptism), it was quite moving.
We also put on our first ever (at least for me) Spaghetti
dinner fundraiser with a piano concert featuring the
wonderful Claudia Gambino, she did a fantastic job as
did the kids from our youth band, “Godwink”, who
opened the show. All of the kids and adults involved
with the dinner were amazing, well done everyone; a
good time was had by all.
There is much activity in June as well; June 5th is
Graduation Sunday and we will celebrate those
graduating from high school, college, trade school, and
military. On June 11 we will be treated to a special
event, the group “Common Ground”, a group of
talented high school students from Northern California
will be here to kick off their summer tour with their
2016 presentation ‘Grace Wins”, a multimedia show
featuring live music, dancing, theater, and other
surprises. Common Ground has been around for over 35
years and the shows are always really good and not to
be missed. We will be hosting Vacation Day Camp (not
VBS) from June 20-24 here on campus; day camp is put
on by Lutheran Retreats, Camps, and Conferences
(LRCC) and runs from 9:00am-3:00pm with extended
hours for an additional fee. Day Camp is open to all
kids entering grades K-6 in the fall.
I would like to extend an open invitation to the youth of
Our Savior’s to participate in one of our youth groups.
If your child is entering the 6th grade in the fall then
they are welcome and invited to join our Middle School
youth group on Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm-8pm
beginning June 22nd. If your teen is going into the 9th
grade in the fall then they are welcome to join our High
School youth group which meets on Sunday evenings
from 6:00pm-7:30pm beginning June 12th.
The Kids Club does not meet during the summer
months but will resume in the fall. Kids Club is open to
all students in grades 3-5, but more on that later.
Recent studies have shown that involvement in a faith
based youth group have enormous positive life impacts
that show benefits that surpass sports and even
scouting!
Friends are always welcome in our youth groups so
please invite them and let’s move into summer with
fun, fellowship, and a good dose of the Holy Spirit!
