TRINITY LUTHERAN’S NEWSLETTER

FROM REV. DIANE KRAUSZER

Dearly Beloved,

Summer is a busy time. Friends and family come to visit. The streams, lakes, and ocean call us to come wander their shores and harvest fish for food and fun. Our wonderful wilderness is open for camping and hiking. There are gardens to tend. The warm evenings invite us to sit and be still, to reflect and relax. In between it all, we live our everyday lives of caring for family and loved ones, paying bills, fixing the car, caring for the yard, and cleaning the house. In spite of our long days, time becomes precious. 10355 E. Palmer-Wasilla Hwy. Many of you have given generously of your time to ministries of 907-745-0726 | Fax: 907-745-0526 Trinity this summer. Thank you. Here are some of the amazing things people at Trinity have been doing in God’s name this past [email protected] month.

Shirley Platt participated in Family Promises’ Cardboard City. She www.trinitylutheranak.org was the most senior resident there and she raised the most money.

Time Warped– First Century Time Three EMT teams ate supper that night with us. We had great conversations with them. Stewardship for 21st Century Living The people we hoped would show up, the people who live in the houses around the church, did not show up. So we have to do some revising of our strategy for this event. Overall, however, it went well for a first time event! BIRTHDAYS & ANNIVERSARIES On a Friday night in July, many people gathered to celebrate the ubiquitous rhubarb plant. Daniel Hardage It was truly amazing to see and taste all the amazing things that can be concocted in the Marti Rustigan kitchen from rhubarb. Several friends from other churches in the Valley came with their Larry McGee rhubarb offerings as well. It was a fun evening. Glenn Jacob The TLC Community Garden is green and growing. Many hands have made the work of planting, watering, weeding and now harvesting joy-filled work. About 10 people (and If you are not on the list and should be, please contact the church office. it’s never the same 10) gather every Wednesday night at 5:30 PM in the garden to do whatever needs to be done. This past week Joyce and Karl Lund brought students from Our Lady of the Valley Catholic School to help harvest some of the vegetable the students NEWSLETTER ARTICLE planted last spring. After working in the garden for an hour, we gather to eat together in Please send in your info for the September the Trinity Room. Recently we have begun harvesting on Monday morning as well.

WORSHIP HELPERS DOING WHAT JESUS WANTS US TO DO Audrey Badger Living Lutheran Magazine Mary Brothers Richard & Gail Clinch When Lynn Hauger Anselm, a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Palmer, , Barbara Dotterweich attended a four-day training in community organizing conducted by Anchorage Faith & Glenn & Janet Jacob Action Congregations Together (AFACT), she left feeling energized and inspired. She Lucy Locklear especially liked connecting with people from diverse geographic contexts and faith John & Phyllis Martin traditions. Anselm said she participated because "these principles are in keeping with Shawn & Jana Moser our congregation's genuine concern for the surrounding community. It's not a church Stan & Shirley Platt that is content with simply catering to its existing membership." This is what attracted Jill St. Germain Anselm to her congregation in the first place.

If you are not on a team and you would Trinity members like Anselm, along with their pastor Diane Krauszer, recently helped like to serve, please contact the church. launch a faith-based community organizing effort in the Mat-Su Valley region of Alaska. They did so in partnership with 11 other churches of various denominations. NEIGHBORHOOD PICNIC Since Trinity members are so new to community organizing, they've been focusing on working with a newly hired community organizer to put together their Local INSIGHT Organizing Committee (LOC). This team will help the congregation put the principles Lynn Anselm said that the Neighborhood of organizing into practice for the sake of congregational vitality and renewed Picnic went well. About 30 church people engagement with their community. and 13 community people came. See picture from Richard Clinch. Krauszer said an organizing approach to ministry "means doing what Jesus wants us to do: [to] empower people, make life better for us and our neighbors, and build authentic relationships." So far members of Trinity's LOC have conducted more than 40 one-on- one relational meetings, mostly with other members of the congregation but also with some residents.

The issues cropping up in conversations have to do with inadequate housing, senior services, mental health resources, and handicap accessibility at their church building. Next they plan to discern which issues they might be able to address. Then, as a congregation and with community partners, they will work to determine how best to take action, Krauszer said. COUNCIL MEMBERS President Richard Clinch Anselm and Krauszer hope this effort will create a greater sense of vitality in the Vice President Rhonda D’Aigle congregation. In a broader sense, Krauszer said she hopes people, members, and Treasurer Pat Kilmain neighbors alike-will recognize an alternate narrative about the church. The current Secretary Mary Brothers narrative tends to convey a restrictive, exclusive, judgmental attitude, she said. Instead, through congregation-based community organizing, Trinity hopes to bear witness to Worship Deb Till God's abundance, inclusion, caring relationships and action for the greater good.
