Pastor’s Message<br />

By Rev. Dr. Neil Buono<br />

Grace and peace to you dear friends in Christ.<br />

Summer is past the midpoint now. We just closed an AWESOME Vacation<br />

Bible School week! Kudos to Christie Bauerle, Laurie Fritz, Macie Smith and<br />

EVERYONE involved in putting this together and delivering a great<br />

experience to over 160 children and youth. Patty Bullock and the preschool<br />

staff ran the preschool portion <strong>of</strong> the week for our youngest high seas<br />

travelers.<br />

In a few weeks regular school will begin again for our young people. To help children, youth<br />

and families launch the school year we will have our annual blessing <strong>of</strong> the backpacks on<br />

Sunday morning, August 29 th . Watch the bulletin for more info on the details.<br />

Soon, our summer will draw to a close. Next month, I will have more to say about the fall<br />

schedule but let me throw this out there for you to think about – what would happen if our<br />

community <strong>of</strong> faith would make a serious commitment to be part <strong>of</strong> our Christ Care Small<br />

Group Bible Studies? How might our processes <strong>of</strong> stewardship, fellowship and evangelism be<br />

transformed by gathering regularly for worship on Sunday and then again for a small group<br />

experience? I invite you to prayerfully consider this over the next weeks.<br />

Also, I have heard from many <strong>of</strong> you regarding our single service this summer and what I am<br />

hearing is loud and clear – WE LIKE IT! I expect a decision on this before the next newsletter<br />

goes to print, so watch the September newsletter for the fall schedule.<br />

Finally, Carolyn and I had a great vacation. Thank you for the opportunity to get away! And<br />

thank you for the opportunity to continue serving you. Have a great rest <strong>of</strong> the summer.<br />

The Lord bless and be with you.<br />

POP VBS Wrap-up and Thank you<br />

By Christie Bauerle, VBS Director<br />

Wow, what a fabulous week at the High Seas Expedition! We registered 48 preschool students and Kindergarten<br />

through 5 th grade registered 124. We averaged 160 students each day. Thankfully, we had 5 adult and 40 student<br />

crew leaders, age 6 th grade and up. Of course there were the Station Leader/Preschool Teacher and all the<br />

assistants everyday that added up to another 45 adults and young people. So, as you can tell we had a lot <strong>of</strong><br />

movement going on in the church. “Let’s Go” was the catch phrase for the week and boy did we!<br />

I want to thank everyone who was a part <strong>of</strong> VBS. For those who helped for the first time with me this year, I hope<br />

you will consider volunteering again next year. For you veterans, I have your numbers on speed dial! Laurie and<br />

Patty, I couldn’t do it without you both. You are great to work with and I know I can count on you to get the job<br />

done. VBS can not be successful without all the support received from people physically volunteering and<br />

financially donating. Thanks to this great congregation, VBS snacks were completely covered for the week! You<br />

are all awesome for helping out in that way.<br />

Our VBS children’s <strong>of</strong>fering is being donated to the Food for the Poor Program. They raised through the week<br />

$336.83. This money will be sent on their behalf to help build homes in Haiti. Children also made comfort blankets<br />

on Friday that will be sent to children in Africa.<br />

I am excited to report to you that our closing program/ice cream social appeared to be another huge success. We<br />

had about 325 people signed up to attend and I believe that most <strong>of</strong> them were there. The sanctuary was full.<br />

Many thanks to Pastor Buono, Macie and Boone Smith, Chuck Atherton, Spencer Skrdlant and Hannah Fritz for<br />

welcoming everyone and providing a skit for entertainment. Parents and friends were also able to watch the<br />

spotlight dramas and see candid pictures taken throughout the week from Kristi Bruce, Sonja Hoglund and Lacey<br />

Hileman. Ice cream was served up for us by Claudia Sokolowski, Ruth Slyter, Delores Carroll, Jayna Gaston and<br />

Kira Hall. Thank you ladies for keeping up with the pace and helping me clean up.<br />

The silent auction for our former Bible Buddy Characters was very good. It raised approximately $500.00 which<br />

will go to help fix up our church nursery. The winners were announced on Friday night, and if they were not there<br />

to take home their Buddy, they were notified by phone <strong>of</strong> their new addition to their home. Melinda Skrdlant is<br />

the talent behind all those Bible Buddies and our new ones for this year too. She also created the “stage”<br />

decorations we have seen all week. What an amazing job she does! Thank you Melinda for all your creativity and<br />

to your family who helps you work on the decorations and set them up.<br />

Also Auburn’s Gambinos Manager, Jaime Clausing, provided us with a discount on ice cream<br />

for our closing program Both treats really hit the spot this week!<br />

I certainly hope I have not forgotten anyone. Many <strong>of</strong> us wore many different hats along the<br />

way. Thank you to Nikki Anderson for waiting to print the August Newsletter to enable me<br />

to get our VBS news and pictures in.<br />

May God bless us all for what I consider a “job well done!”<br />

POP Preschool Wrap-up<br />

It was a busy, busy year at <strong>Prince</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peace</strong> Preschool servicing over a hundred<br />

families. We began our year by celebrating the start with the “Blessing <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Backpacks” and ended just last week with VBS sharing the Good News <strong>of</strong> Jesus<br />

Christ. The weeks flew by; now we are almost complete with our preparations<br />

for the 2010-11 school year. The teachers will kick-<strong>of</strong>f the school year July 31 at<br />

an all day Early Childhood Conference at Faith <strong>Lutheran</strong>. We are looking forward<br />

to our time with other faith-filled teachers from the Kansas District.<br />

Last fall was our busy time to fundraise with our new “Mixed Bag” sales and the<br />

carnival. There were also parent/teacher conferences, field trips and celebrations for the holidays with our<br />

annual Christmas sing with the children and their families. We also said a tearful good-bye to our long time<br />

friend, Leroy.<br />

The winter months brought lots <strong>of</strong> snow and ice. We participated in “Valentines for Vets” with the Sunday school.<br />

More conferences in February and March, and believe it or not, enrollment for fall and tours began! Parents asked<br />

for another “Mixed Bag” sale to further our fundraising efforts. Our spring time bake sale and preschool sing<br />

flooded the church with families.<br />

and jumped in wading pools.<br />

A big hit was our secret surprise show for LWML. The children purchased items for<br />

the church kitchen at various stores, wrapped them and presented them to our<br />

LWML friends to open. Just like Christmas all over! The children loved watching<br />

the ladies’ expressions as they opened the packages.<br />

Six weeks <strong>of</strong> summer school was fun in the sun … and heat! We went on some<br />

really fun field trips to the library, the donut shop (where we dipped and<br />

decorated our own) and even rode a city bus! We had plenty <strong>of</strong> time to cool <strong>of</strong>f<br />

on water days when we sprayed our friends with water, rode down the water slide<br />

We have just wrapped up our year at VBS sailing the high seas <strong>of</strong> adventure. I co-directed this year’s VBS, once<br />

again with Christie Bauerle. The preschool was at capacity. We saw many <strong>of</strong> our graduates still coming to VBS.<br />

Some now serve as crew leaders and teachers! The preschool classes are staffed by our teachers (both current<br />

and former). We had so much fun singing songs, playing games and learning more about Jesus with our church<br />

friends.<br />

Our parents are required to raise a minimum <strong>of</strong> $8500 to <strong>of</strong>fset expenses <strong>of</strong> the<br />

school. This year they raised even more. Our 10% donation back to the church<br />

from our fundraising will be close to $1000.00. We also contributed generously<br />

to the 126 campaign, purchased a commercial vacuum for the church, gifted our<br />

annual donation to Mary Hume’s ministry for the parish nurse program, and <strong>of</strong><br />

course contributed over $200.00 for the LWML kitchen needs. Thank you to our<br />

parents for their hard work! We also thank you, the members <strong>of</strong> POP for your<br />

continued support <strong>of</strong> our program.<br />

I would also like to thank the staff and the board <strong>of</strong> our preschool for their faithful service. Because <strong>of</strong> your love<br />

<strong>of</strong> children and dedication to quality, we continue to surpass other programs in early childhood education.<br />

CHOIR NEWS<br />

By Donna Eakins<br />

Hi everybody!<br />

<strong>It's</strong> time to begin thinking about SINGING PRAISES TO OUR LORD BY BEING IN Choir.<br />

CHOIR will begin rehearsals on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9th at 6:30PM<br />

Please note the change in TIME! Much earlier for the young so they can get home to be with their families, do<br />

their homework etc......... and much earlier for the "less young" so we may return home before it's way past<br />

"jammie time!"<br />

I would also like to invite the YOUTH in our congregation to join us! I have spoken with three <strong>of</strong> them and they<br />

seemed very receptive! YOUTH means junior high and above. Many <strong>of</strong> you have gifts that can be shared and<br />

used by our Lord to His glory! Please join us!<br />

If you see / hear someone that you think would be a good choir member, PLEASE encourage them to become a<br />

part <strong>of</strong> worshiping our Lord.<br />

Singing for services will begin SEPTEMBER 12th, 2010. Blessings to all <strong>of</strong> you and hope to see you in Choir on<br />

Thursday evenings.<br />

Have YOU Heard <strong>About</strong> LWML?<br />

Did you know that each and every woman attending POP is considered a member <strong>of</strong> LWML?<br />

Did you know that LWML has monthly Bible studies and helps with various church events?<br />

Did you know that members <strong>of</strong> LWML provide meals for families following a funeral?<br />

Did you know that LWML raises funds during the year to support mission activities, both inside and outside the<br />

church?<br />

Did you know that the service project this year has been to gather items for health kits for areas in the world, like<br />

Haiti, that have suffered a natural disaster?<br />

<strong>It's</strong> Time, Ladies, to Mark Your Calendars!<br />

The Annual LWML Salad Supper will be August 12 at 6 pm at the home <strong>of</strong> Bob and Sallee Lee. <strong>All</strong> POP ladies are<br />

invited to attend. We will gather in the church parking lot at 5:30 and carpool/caravan to the Lee’s home. It will be a<br />

fun evening. In addition to enjoying a buffet <strong>of</strong> salads brought by those attending, we will learn more about LWML,<br />

see what's on the calendar this year and put together those health kits.<br />

So, dig out your best salad recipe and join us on August 12! We look forward to seeing you!

And Making a Living: Labor Day Encouragement<br />

According to Genesis 1:26, God did not give us ownership <strong>of</strong> creation, but "to rule over" creation. God is the<br />

source <strong>of</strong> all things and has retained His ownership. Paul reminds us in I Corinthians 4:7 that all things come<br />

from God. "What do you have that you did not receive?" With this knowledge and understanding we would be<br />

correct to substitute the word "returning" for "giving" because, through our giving we are simply returning to<br />

God what He has already given to us.<br />

When we consider how much to give (return) to our church and other Christian missions, we will then be asking<br />

ourselves, "How much <strong>of</strong> God's money am I going to keep?"<br />

NOTE FROM DON AND CECILE PENNEY<br />

We want to thank everyone for your prayers, cards and visits during the past months. We ask that you<br />

continue to pray for us as we continue our treatments and hopes <strong>of</strong> remission.<br />

NOTE ABOUT ALTAR FLOWERS<br />

If you are planning to have flowers on the altar this year, all orders need to be made for flowers at<br />

the Fairlawn Plaza Dillon’s instead <strong>of</strong> the Urish Road Dillon’s.
