Summertime Movies

Moving Images/ Changing Lives

 

For several years I’ve used popular movies to explore basic themes of Christian faith with our senior confirmation students and their mentors.  For class we show select scenes as conversation starters, but for me to pick those short scenes I need to watch the entire movie.  (I know it’s a tough job but someone has to do it.) Well, this Summer I’m inviting anyone who is interested to watch movies with me to help pick discussion starters for future classes.   We’ll do this Wednesday nights at 6:30 pm (following 6 pm worship) on the Big Screen TV in the Ed Unit outside my office.  I’ll provide fresh popcorn and bottled water! 

 

One of the themes I’d like to explore this summer is truth.  What is it?  How do we know if something (or someone) is true?  Once we know the truth, what then?  Does it matter?  Can you think of a movie that probes questions of truth?  Jesus famously said, “and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”  John 8:32

 

To get us started on July 12th I’m suggesting we watch The Truman Show staring Jim Carey as Truman Burbank.  Not to give away too much of the plot Truman lives an idyllic life in an Idyllic town called Seahaven (actually Seaside, Florida) where everything and everyone is perfect.  The only thing, it’s fake, prefabricated!  Seahaven is a gigantic movie set and all the characters – except Truman – are actors playing scripted parts.  Truman is the only character who doesn’t know his world is fake.  The movie explores Truman’s awakening to the truth and what he must do once he knows the truth.

 

I’m open to your suggestions for future movies.  Some I’m considering: Avatar, The Awful Truth (1937), Inception, The Matrix, 1984, and Fight Club.  Of course the age of those attending will have a bearing on what we watch (we could show a kid’s movie at the same time if there is a need for that).  But let’s get started on Wednesday, July 12th at 6:30 pm with The Truman Show.

 

You can check out our evolving movie schedule on our Deerfield Lutheran Church ELCA Facebook page or on our new website http://deerfieldlutheran.wixsite.com/deerfieldlutheran

FELLOWSHIP BONFIRE- July 1st

The Stewardship Committee from Deerfield Lutheran Church will be hosting monthly Fellowship Fires. On the first Saturday of each month, from 5:30-8:00, you are all invited to join us. Bring your own hot dogs, s'mores and lawn games at the DLC fire pit. This is not just a “church” event; we are extending the invitation to the community as well. We plan to have our guitarists or other musicians providing some music!

 

So mark your calendars for July 1, August 5, September 2, and weather permitting, October 7! Bring a lawn game if you have one. Grab some hot dogs and s'more fixings, a roasting stick and invite a friend or two and join us at the Fellowship Fire! Hope to see you Saturday, July 1st!

 Church bake sale: Thank you to all who brought bake goods for our first bake sale. The next sale will be announced for a Saturday in AUGUST (NOTE THAT THE JULY BAKE SALE HAS BEEN CANCELED!!) Check facebook, website and your emails for more details.

​

Deerfield Lutheran will be hosting our next bake sale booth at the Deerfield Farmer's Market on Saturday, July 15 from 8 AM to 12 Noon. (These fundraisers are one of the ideas that came out of our long range/short term planning discussions.)

​

 

Please sign up on the sign-up sheet in the Narthex if you can provide a baked item to sell on July 15 - or if you would like to help work at our booth. Baked items can be brought to church the day before and put in the upstairs kitchen - or delivered to our booth early Saturday morning, July 15. If any questions, please contact Darlene Thorstad at darlenet104@gmail.com or (608) 764-5347.

IMPORTANT UPDATES REGARDING SUNDAY SCHOOL AND KAIR GROUP

​

Jen Lees and Jenn Brattlie (“the Jenn’s”) will be stepping down from leading Sunday School activities and moving their focus to the KAIR group along with continuing efforts around our Youth Led Worship services. They are looking for someone or someones to take over the oversight for Sunday School, which would include selecting lesson materials, developing the Sunday School calendar, recruiting and coordinating teachers, working with Angie on communications for the bulletins and ECHO, working with Jane on designating singing Sundays as well as the Christmas program production, and communicating with “the Jenn’s” so that updates can be made to the church council. The Jenn’s will continue to serve as co-chairs on the council for Education and Youth and Family until their term(s) are up. They will also oversee 1st communion activities this year for the 4th graders, but will look for someone to shadow activities in anticipation of taking over for the following year’s class. Please contact Jen Lees at jjlees1@charter.net if you are interested in taking on this awesome job or if you are able to teach Sunday School this year in any capacity. Guidance and assistance will be given for as long as needed or desired, they aren’t jumping ship, just shifting responsibilities as their own children get older. The viability and future success of our Sunday School program depend on our volunteers – you do not have to have kids inSunday School and this presents a great opportunity for high school students to build their resume or maybe develop a senior project.

​
 

YOUTH CONTEMPORARY SERVICE

10:30 am   Sunday, July 2nd

10:30 am Sunday, August 6th

Thanks to all who joined us in June for our first youth led contemporary service. We've received a lot of good feedback and would welcome any ideas for future services. Our next services are July 2nd and August 6th at 10:30. If your child or family would like to participate please email Jennifer Lees at jjlees1@charter.net.

There are many ways for you to care for other by sharing Christ’s love...

​

This is the Church

We often wonder what the church is; why do people bother with it!  Our confirmation students and mentors last year drew two pictures of the church: one group drew the building and the other group drew all the people.  Many people see the church as a place to have Faith Milestones “taken care of”: baptism, Sunday School, First Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, Funerals. Others see the church as a place you only attend on  festival occasions like Easter and Christmas. But for others, it’s the place where we gather weekly for worship, the place where friendships are developed, where we give and receive, comfort, caring, and love in order to go out into the world to share Christ’s love with others!

​

Deerfield Lutheran Church at it’s best is caring, compassionate, concerned, loving.  As members and even nonmembers face health issues, loss, or stressful times or times of celebration, it is the members of our church who reach out with casseroles, warm homemade bread, cards, emails, calls, visits and lots and lots of hugs! This is the church.  The television preachers cannot do this nor do many larger churches because they do not know who their members are, but here at Deerfield Lutheran, we know and care about each other.  So, THANK  YOU  for being the church and the Hands and Feet of Christ to those in our community and beyond. This is truly what Deerfield Lutheran Church is all about:

​

“Called in worship to care for others by sharing Christ’s love!

Challenge Fund..

The Matthew 14:16-21Fund is growing as contributions come in to match the “challenge pledges” – totaling $10,000 – that were announced earlier. Participating in the challenge are: Marge Peters, Barb Schultz, Jerry Brown, Ellie Fochs, Deb & Jeff Halverson, Darcy & Brad Schenkel, Judy & Greg Storms, Sue & Steve Neath, Darlene Thorstad and Mary & Arlie Turnquist. By the end of June, $6,000 of this has already been received.

 

During May and June, close to $2,500 has been contributed by: Phyllis Rude, Sharon & Dick Berge, Pat & Larry Chua, Jae & Barry Mulhall, Beverly & Pogo Dahl, Laura & John Connor, Dorothy Tomaszewski and Michelle & Daryl Moe to match the challenge.

 

This one-time special Fund for donations above and beyond one’s regular giving, has been established to reduce DLC’s 2017 deficit so the reserve fund is not depleted. A full “match” would bring the Fund to $20,000 – which is approximately the size of our shortfall last year. We are a quarter of the way to that target. Special envelopes are available for your gift, or you may simply designate that it is for the Matthew 14 Fund. Our progress, and the names of contributors, is displayed in the narthex and on our website. The goal is that the challenge pledges are fully matched by September 1.

 

Jesus said to them … you give them (the crowds) something to eat. They replied, “We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.”… he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves…And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over… twelve baskets full.

CALLING PHOTOGRAPHS: Activities at the church go on continually. Take your phone or camera and snap a picture so that we can share what is happening on Facebook, on the screen in the narthex, on our website and put in our photo-archives. Please send them to dlchurchoffice@gmail.com or to pastorsexe@gmail.com.
