JUNE 2021
Welcoming all to Worship, Grow, and Serve in God’s Grace.
Pastor’s
Corner
A message from
Pastor Amanda
Grace and Peace to you from God our Father
and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
My children are set to
wrap up a school year mid-
June that has been a study
of change. As schools have
gone (at different paces) from
distance, to hybrid, to six feet
of distance, to three feet of
distance, a common lesson
that has emerged is that
learning to adapt to changes
is part of life.
Our Creator Church
community has also been in
the crucible of changes for
several years: from a new
pastor, to a pandemic, and
from worshiping together
digitally to worshiping in
person and digitally together.
We have been called upon to
adapt.
The constant in life is
indeed change.
Change is not the only
constant in our lives. The
constant in our life of faith
is that the Good News of
the Gospel is constant,
consistent, and abundantly life
giving. God’s good news will
continually sound new to your
ears because the changes
and adaptions that the world
commands of us tend to drown
out the sweet sound of God’s
grace. Thankfully, God finds a
way to get that word of life and
grace into your ear and ground
you in God’s presence and
provision even in the midst of a
year marked by change.
We are at the cusp of another
round of changes. We may be
weary of what that will mean but
what is causing our weariness?
In part, we intuitively know
that while we all experienced
the pandemic, each of us had
different experiences of the
impact of the pandemic had
in our lives. Was it a time of
isolation and fear? Was it a time
of learning new hobbies? Was it
a time of financial struggle? Was
it a time to pare down the frenzy
of life to the essentials?
Additionally, we are not all on
the same timeline of emerging
from the pandemic. Just as we
acknowledge that our pandemic
experiences were diverse, so
too, is it helpful to know that
our emerging experiences will
be equally diverse. Naming that
reality, I believe is important. It
creates a space for empathy and
understanding.
Back in my middle school
days, I remember times when the
lesson was done and the teacher
would let us get ready to leave
the class before the bell rang. I
was almost always among the
students with their toes on the
threshold of the classroom into
the hallway waiting for the bell to
ring and release us into the great
churn of awkward middle school
interaction that was passing
time. I loved the energy and the
movement, some days, of the
passing time. I wanted to see
a friend or a classmate in the
passing time and catch up on
what had happened that might
have actually changed the world
in the past hour. Or sometimes, I
wanted to make sure that I could
time things just right to swing
by my locker in another part of
the building and make it to my
next class with time to spare and

Terri’s Two Cents
June is typically the month
in which we recognize the
achievement of graduation.
This year, we celebrate with six
high school graduates and two
college graduates from Creator.
Congratulations, Graduates!
Graduation can bring on
some diverse emotions. At my
own graduations, I remember
feeling confusion, loss, and fear.
I felt the grief of losing my best
friends and my “home away from
home,” all the familiar activities
and places. I was overwhelmed
with all the options that lay before
me. And I was afraid of the new
responsibilities that come with
adulthood. I was excited, but
also sad.
I realize now that what created
those painful feelings in me
was a misunderstanding of the
definition of the word “graduate.”
I thought that graduating
meant the end of good things.
Now, a bazillion years later, I
understand that graduation was
only the beginning of wonderful,
new things for me. In fact, the
graduation ceremony is called
“commencement,” which means
“a beginning.”
After high school, I entered
the job market where I learned
many new things and made
life-long friends. After college,
I began a career in teaching,
which I LOVED! My teaching
experience led me to this position
at Creator where I developed
such deep relationships (with you
all and with God) and expanded
my understanding of scripture
and how God is working in me.
I have noticed that after each
life accomplishment, a new
adventure begins. I will be ready
for that adventure because I
know that God will be with me.
“It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake
you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31: 8

not risk a tardy slip. Other days
I did not want to be noticed, so
I perched on that line with the
desire to jet out into the sea of
tween drama with the hope of
getting from one class to the
other without being noticed. And
on occasion, I even hung back in
the room not wanting to go to the
next class, much less into the
time between classes— I liked
where I was, what that class
had to offer and did not have the
energy or desire to see what was
next. It was middle school after
all, a time for mercurial emotions.
This time of transition ahead
of us that may last the summer
and may even reach into the fall
is a time in which some of us will
venture into the passing time from
pandemic living into whatever
this time is that we are in now.
As individuals, we will each likely
have a range of reactions to the
shape that re-opening takes in
your life. You may be vaccinated,
or you may not be. One day or
in a particular situation you
might feel comfortable but, in
another circumstance, or day,
you might feel cautious. Now
multiply that range of reaction
of each individual with each
person that has been gathered
into Creator by the Holy Spirit
to be the Body of Christ. The
middle school hallway seems
like a good metaphor doesn’t
it?! Complicated, awkward, and
somehow wonderful at times as
well.
It will be complicated. It will
require change. God knows that
there are so many things, people,
and experiences that will act like
thieves in our lives attempting to
steal our peace, our hope, and
rob us of our trust that God has
us and has brought us into a
community together. God knows
that sometimes that thief is even
ourselves, cue mirror.
We respond with
graciousness to ourselves and
to timelines and comfort levels
that do not match our own. I
am not saying that we won’t
be frustrated but I am inviting
awareness and compassion. We
don’t know the factors behind
the timelines and comfort levels
just like we often have not known
the stories behind the masks.
Knowing that we stumble and
that we struggle, God has given
us a promise, “I have come that
they may have life, and have it
abundantly,” John 10:10.
We are at another time of
change and God is right here
with us, being our constant
and pouring out upon us, as
individuals and as a community,
steadfast love and grace. God
will see us through. God gives
abundant life into all our timelines
and comfort levels to each of us
and to our community of faith.
Peace be with you,
Pastor Amanda

Ministry
Hope After
the Storm
Creator Lutheran is
looking to bring members
back together in person this
summer with small group
gatherings.
If you can host a small
group gathering in your
backyard, lead a group for
a walk, or anything similar,
please contact the office
and let us know.
There is hope after the
storm church family, in
God’s grace.
Southwestern Washington Assembly 2021
Theme-With Hope and Vision
There were about 180 people attending this year’s 2021 SWWA Synod Assembly. The priorities of
our synod are: 1) Growing Leaders; 2) Cultivating new ministries; and 3) Energizing Congregations.
Over the 2 days they held several worship services, we participated in a lunchtime bible study,
discussed and voted in new Synod council members, voted on changes to the constitution, voted
on the budget, we broke into small group sessions, we met other members of the Synod as they
shared information about programs the Synod supports. One of the longer discussions was regarding
educational financial support for public higher learning. SWWA Synod will review the current support
and future support at the June council meeting. Paige Winsor showed up in a video of the Synod Alyve
Board where she serves as the Vice President. Horacio Castillo was voted to attend the Church-wide
Assembly in COLUMBUS OH, happening in August 2022.
In spite of having a virtual assembly, versus in person, many items were addressed and accomplished.
Blessings and Thank you,
Donna and Jeff Lovin

Fellowship
As we look toward summer vacation,
Church in Society is already planning for Back
to School support where we donate to various
agencies in contributing in school supplies.
While at times the year seemed to go slowly,
there is a sense that things are quickening
as the pandemic draws to a close. It’s a
wonderful feeling that we can look forward to
the future as Creator can make returning to
school more comfortable and welcoming for
many children.
Distribution of funds for the month of May
were as follows:
Church
In Society
• Sumner Food Bank
Regular..........................................$200
Backpack......................................$300
• Bonney Lake Food Bank
Regular..........................................$200
Backpack......................................$300
• Mothers2Many...................................$300
• Faith Action Network..........................$300
• New Hope..........................................$300
• Exodus Housing-for air mattresses....$268
(donations from Lent services)
At the moment, $650 was donated to the
Hunger Walk through the Emergency Food
Network by the church and individuals during
the month of May. This will feed many people
throughout Pierce County.
We are saving some funds for next month as
we determine back to school supplies. Thank
you for your generous support as Creator
shares its blessings with our communities.
God’s Blessings to you!

Thoughts on
Fellowship
Stewardship would like to hear
what is inspiring you at Creator.
A remarkable thing about
Creator has been the many ways
we have continued to gather
virtually, allowing our ministries
to remain active despite this
pandemic. From worship live in
Pastor Amanda’s living room in
the early days of Covid, to Zoom
Council, committees, confirmation,
Bible Study and program meetings,
connections and church life has
not been stagnant. In fact, far from
it. We continue to learn and find
new ways to connect, and maybe
some things are forever changed in
unique and positive ways because of
the pandemic.
Once worship resumed in small
numbers, with all participants
donning masks and sitting six
feet apart, some have continued
to connect from home via Zoom
or Facebook Live. These options
have allowed many members to be
together as a church. Not being able
to make it to church, or get a ride,
is no longer a barrier, and virtual
church may be the new normal for
some, allowing us to expand our
reach.
Lest we forget the many efforts
on the part of Pastor Amanda
to creatively encourage our faith
development, her ideas like Holy
We are uplifted by one
another. It is important
we share our stories
and encourage one
another. A significant
part of Stewardship is
to express appreciation,
not only to our church
but to God. Gratitude
can inspire generosity.
Week in a Box, and the Seven Stations
of Ash, and even last Sunday’s fun
celebration of Pentecost and the
birthday of the church have all been
very special. The daily devotions,
even done twice a day for a while,
have truly been beautiful teachings
and a true blessing.
Though Covid has prevented
much of the usual volunteer work
opportunities, did you know Creator
has continued to deliver meals to the
Hope Center and Peace Lutheran in
Tacoma? Our Creator Cares team
has connected with those needing
support, providing a listening ear,
encouragement, and prayer all while
following COVID safety distancing
protocols to ensure the health and
safety of our members as well as of
those in need. On two occasions our
Care-a-Van of cars visited members,
homebound with health conditions,
waiving uplifting signs and balloons
and ending with a word of prayer
offered by Pastor Amanda.
Our Youth and Family
ministry has not been deterred by
Covid either. Known for offering
wonderful events for our neighbors
in the area, they were able to spread
the good news with both a drive
through Halloween Carnival and
even an Easter Egg Hunt. Vacation
Bible School was virtual last
summer yet managed to reach about
200 children. And did you see the
beautiful Christmas message told
through video clip submissions by
our youth?
This is not a complete list of
the numerous ways our church
continues to teach and spread
God’s love and the good news of
Jesus to our Creator family and
the community throughout this
pandemic. God is on the move at
Creator. He has continued to touch
our hearts and is able to speak to
us through a powerful message,
even those that are virtual. He is
not limited by Zoom fellowship or
worship. He hears all our prayers
and has never left our side, even
during Covid.

Fellowship
Continued from pg. 7
How has Creator been able to
minister to you? What has been
meaningful for you and your family
during Covid? The isolation of
Covid brought the potential for us all
to appreciate even more the love at
Creator. As Romans 8:28 mentions,
God can work good in all situations.
Though this time has been difficult,
there have also been many blessings
and positive connections. For
example, many families, friends,
and relatives have enjoyed regular
contact through Zoom, facetime,
or other virtual gatherings. The
Stewardship Committee would
appreciate hearing how worship,
a ministry or program, or any
experience has possibly inspired
you or enriched your faith. If you
would be willing to share this in an
email, phone call, or maybe even a
short testimonial during worship
service, we invite those willing to
let us know. We are uplifted by one
another. It is important we share our
stories and encourage one another.
A significant part of Stewardship is
to express appreciation, not only to
our church but to God. Gratitude
can inspire generosity.
As restrictions continue to
lift, we would welcome your
participation as a volunteer. The
fellowship in service work is a great
way to meet members, make new
friends, and bless others.
Our Stewardship Committee is
in need of new members. We are
a fun group, so please let the office
know if you are interested in joining
us.

Creator has a fund available to be used at the discretion of Pastor
Amanda to support congregation members and the community
as needed. If you or a member another member of the Creator
Community has a particular financial need at this time, please
reach out to Pastor Amanda for support. We are here for one

Recycle Your
Ink Cartridges
Don’t throw away those printer cartridges or used cell phones.
The Youth will recycle them for you. It’s good for the
environment and the youth program receives a small concession.
Just deposit old cartridges in the drawer in the narthex.
Creator Sunday School Is Back!
Creator’s Family Sunday School is Virtual!
We will be emailing Sunday School lessons with video stories

families. If you know of any family who would like to added to the
distribution list, please let Terri know. We will follow the narrative
lectionary so you can enjoy a family discussion after Sunday
School and Worship. Some videos will be saved on Creator’s
YouTube channel. We are also sending by email Family Daily
