Martin Luther School (Immanuel Joplin's day school) and Immanuel Lutheran Church are the epicenter of aid for the people of Joplin. There they host hot meals for lunch and dinner, distribute clothing, toiletries, household goods, food, diapers and run a medical clinic. The generosity of Lutheran churches and individuals has been overwhelming with donations pouring in from all over the country. At this point in the restoration process the staff and volunteers at Immanuel are saying their biggest need is for gift cards in any denomination. 
Click on the link below to donate online for the purchase of a card or send a check to LCC and mark it "Care Carding". Immanuel Joplin has asked Lutheran Church Charities to acknowledge all the gifts as they simply do not have the time, staff, or resources to do this. LCC will then place orders through the Scrip Coordinator at Martin Luther School. The card is issued for the full amount you order. In addition, a percentage of that amount is paid to the school through the Scrip Program. Of course your donation is passed through LCC - dollar for dollar. Your gift provides a tangible way to demonstrate the Mercy and Compassion of Christ to people in need in Joplin and helps the folks at Martin Luther School with funds to help repair the damage done to their facility from the tornado and put their facility back in shape for the coming school year. 
So many people want to help the people of Joplin, Missouri in a meaningful way - but are not sure what to do. Here is an opportunity to provide Mercy and Compassion and Help to an individual or family right now! 
This is a tangible way to show the Love of Jesus Christ to someone in need - and help them spiritually and physically! To those who already have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ - this shows them the support of the Body of Christ. To those who do not - it shows them the Mercy and Compassion of Jesus Christ through his church - the Body of Christ.

DEVOTION: Ecclesiastes 3:1 "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven....."
Hi everyone! As you can see, I am back from vacation.
On vacation, mostly as I was driving, there was a lot of time for reflection. Not sure how many of you are aware of it, but this weekend is the ten year anniversary of my ordination and installation at St. John's.
Throughout those ten years there have been many "seasons" and "times" in the life of the church and in my life as well, both good times and challenging times, peaceful times, and times of turmoil and distress. I have seen my daughter grow up into the beautiful girl she is and have seen the birth of my son and the growth process he has taken. I have seen many f the children of this congregation grow up from youngsters into adults with jobs and families of their own. I have seen many new and returning Christians become members of this church and grow in their faiths. I have had the privilege to assist our Lord and Savior in the bringing of many a Christian into the fold through the waters of holy baptism as well as rejoice with many mourners as many of our faithful witnesses go on to the church triumphant.
Throughout that time I have grown as a person and as a pastor, mostly through trial and error, through the many "seasons" of my time here. That is what these "seasons" are about. They are about growing. They are about being transformed in the renewing of our minds, hearts, and lives to be about the work of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Many of you are struggling with all sorts of trials and errors right now as well, whether it be health issues, relationship issues, financial issues, etc. You may be going through some tough times right now. Others of you may be having the time of your life and everything is going well for you. Whatever the case you can know this one thing. GOD IS WITH YOU!!
It is a very obvious thing, isn't it, but how many times a day do we forget about God's presence in our lives? How many times a day do we sin because we have forgotten His presence? How many times have we been frustrated or ready to throw in the towel because we forget about God's powerful presence?
That's what Satan wants. He wants you to forget about God's presence with you. He wants you to get sp discouraged that you just give up. that way he can get you away from the Savior's love, forgiveness, and life.
Don't let him. Make use of God's means of grace, His WORD and SACRAMENTS, as often as you are able. Be IN God's Word. Eat His body and drink His blood. Remember your baptism! Be IN worship! Do all this, not out of drudgery or a sense of responsibility, but out of a need to realize God's presence more and more!
I thank you for the wonderful ten years I have had here at St. John's. To be honest, I don't really know what God has in store for me for the future. But I do know that whever I am and whatever I am doing He will never leave me nor forsake me and He will be with me to the end of the age! The same holds true for you!
PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL!
Prayer: Lord God our heavenly Father, help us to know, with more assurance daily, that You are with us, You are on our side, and You will be our shield, our protector, and our guide for all eternity! Amen.

| If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. Romans 14:8-9 While looking for stories for the Daily Devotions, my eye was caught by the title of an article located on another web page. The title said, "Man Dies All By Himself." Was the story about a forgotten movie star, or some homeless individual, or a hiker who had taken a climb beyond his level of expertise? Maybe this was the story of a hoarder who had been crushed by a falling pile of beloved possessions. It was the kind of title I had to investigate. Clicking on the link produced a large picture of a hollow-cheeked old man. Above his head, in very large letters were the words "Man Dies All By Himself." There was no article, nothing to explain the picture. Then it clicked. The man who had died all by himself was Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the man who had helped terminate the lives of over 130 people -- people who had incurable and painful diseases, who had no hope, no value, nothing to keep them linked to this world. At least that's what Kevorkian said. It's what many others believe. Recently, a past executive director of Lutheran Hour Ministries went home to his Lord. Rodger Hebermehl was his name. Many of you knew him. Those who didn't missed the acquaintance of a special man, a gentle, Christian man, who loved his Lord and had a tremendous longing for the lost souls of humanity. Over the last few years Rodger had suffered from an illness that he knew would end his life. Gradually the things he could do were diminished. Did Rodger say there was no hope, that he had no value or purpose, nothing to keep him here? If you think that, you don't know Rodger. Allow me to share that when Rodger no longer could get around by himself, when limitations were many and opportunities few, he prayed he might share the Savior's story with a few more unbelievers. He prayed he might be used by the Lord to let them know the transforming power of the Christ. He prayed the Holy Spirit might use him to bring a dozen people to faith. May I tell you one other thing about Rodger? Rodger did not die all by himself. Yes, he had his loving wife Cassandra at his side and, yes, there had been many others with him during those last days. But when Rodger left this life he did so in the company of Jesus who had redeemed him -- the Savior he had considered it an honor to serve. No, Rodger did not die alone. Because of Jesus, no Christian man or woman ever dies ... alone. THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, today I give thanks for the Rodger Hebermehls of this world. By that I mean those who have clearly seen the Savior's sacrifice and wish to do all they can to make sure the whole world knows the wonders of Your love. May I, by Your grace, live in that love until the time comes when I am taken home. This I ask in the Name of Jesus. Amen. POSTSCRIPT: I don't know if Rodger's wish to touch people with the Savior's story reached everyone he wished when he was alive. But I think both the Lord and Rodger would be pleased if you shared this devotion with others who haven't yet acknowledged Jesus as Savior. Thank you. |

2. For RUTH CANTRELL (her update is below)
1. For NORBERT HEITGERD who is on hospice and nearing the end of his days on the earth unless the Lord does a miracle.
2. For RUTH CANTRELL (her update is below)
To All Ruth's Friends and Family
We went to see Dr. John Bedwinek Friday at the SLU Cyberknife (directional radiation) program at Lake St. Louis. They had been reviewing the biopsy report, it was strange looking and was even presented to the greater St. Louis Tumor Review Group. They could not tell what type of cells these were only that they did not like them, they are cancer cells just don't know what type. They have to determine the type before treatment, The have sent these cells to a prominent pathologist along with some of her old lung tissue for comparison. We would prefer that it be some type of pituitary cancer and not a spread of the lung cancer. We have to wait until the staples are removed prior to starting the Cyberknife treatment. That will be 20 Jun 2011, we will then be able to get her mask made for the treatment on the 20 or 21 Jun and treatment started soon thereafter.
Keep Ruth in your thoughts and Prayers as she goes through this treatment.
3. For GUS KLAUSTERMEIER as he has a fever and is feeling really sick today.
These two are the most urgent prayers.
Peace be with you today!

DEVOTION: A joyful heart is good medicine but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22
As many of you know, I spent Tuesday and Wednesday down in Joplin helping a little bit with the recovery efforts with the tornado. Tuesday we spent part of the afternoon carrying hundreds of cases of bottled water into Immanuel's school gym and the rest of the afternoon at a couple different houses carrying all the trash, trees, and building materials to the curb to be picked up. Wednesday was spent helping a family move their belongings from their destroyed home and a storage unit to their new place.
It was hard work and the folks there have tons more hard work ahead of them for weeks and months to come. You would think that there would be a lot of crushed spirits and downtrodden faces and lives in that city.
You would be wrong. What I found, especially among the many Christian people I worked for and with, was a sense of joy and peace. I saw smiles on many faces and eagerness to serve and pitch in wherever needed. I saw a lot of overly joyful and thankful people for the thousands of volunteers that were down there serving. No one really complained about the work they had to do. They may have been overwhelmed by the enormity of it all, but neither discouraged nor willing to give up. I was reminded of the old wise saying, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time."
All of this kind of reminded me of the Christian life in general. Every Christian who lives for any amount of time on this earth will go through tragedy. Some will go through more than others, while still others will go through harsher tragedy at times. But what I am reminded of is what Paul says in Romans and what the above passage from Proverbs says. We have joy in our sufferings because suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character, and character produces hope which never disappoints us.
When we go through tragedies like the ones in Joplin or in our own personal lives, it is for the production of the hope that does nto disappoint us. It is to remind us that life on this earth is fragile and temporary and that eternal life is what it is all about. It is to remind us that we can only find true comfort, hope, and joy in Jesus and never in the things of this world. A joyful heart truly is good medicine because it is a byproduct of God's love and peace in us.
Please continue to pray for the folks in Joplin as they recover from this tragedy that they will continue to have joy in their suffering and patient endurance as God continues to help them and us through life's journey.
Prayer: Lord God, bless us all when we go through times of struggle and tragedy to remind us that we don't have everything under control, neither do we trust in our own abilities, but that you havve bought us with Your own precious blood and our life truly belongs to You. Amen.

St. John's Group Email FW: Prayer Request from Sandy Robine
Below is from Sandy
My very first friend in this world, Anna Schmaltz Zyntniak has 2 beautiful granddaughters. The oldest one, Anna has had some heart problems since infantcy. She is scheduled now for a heart surgery on July 7th. I have attached a picture of her taken last month when she went from Daisy to Brownie! She is in the pink slacks. Also below, if you scroll down, you will see the email from my friend (her grandma) asking for prayers. Also below that is the email from little Anna's parents requesting prayers for Anna and also a great Christian witness on their part. My friend's daughter, Kim is an educator in the Lindbergh School District. Anna (the grandma) and I became friends when she was born and I was 3 years old and we were neighbors. Also our families owned businesses next door to each other in Affton. Just wanted to give you all a little background, and hopefully the picture will print for you, so you can know a bit more about the dear and beautiful little girl for whom you will be praying the next month or so.
A little sidenote. Talk about a small world. Cheryl Tate's grandparents lived on our street too! And, it turns out that those 2 little girls that used to visit there sometimes that Anna and I played with were, in fact, Cheryl Tate and her sister!!!! Who knew!
Thank you on behalf of a wonderful Christian family of friends of ours. BTW, grandma Anna has MS also. She is doing pretty well; but one never knows. She also just had a lump removed from her breast. The doctor thought it looked like it would be benign but we will find out this week sometime for sure. While you're at it, please keep Grandma Ann in your prayers as well.
God's peace on your day.

Dear Family and Friends,
This morning we scheduled Anna's heart surgery for Thursday, July 7. We will be at Children's Hospital all day on July 6 for
pre-surgery testing & preparations. Her expected stay at Children's will be 5-7 days. Our Family has a strong Faith in God and we feel very thankful that Anna's heart can be repaired. We truly appreciate the love & support from our Dear Family & Friends. Thank you for your caring thoughts and prayers. We will keep you posted.
"His power...can do...more than we...ask or imagine." Ephesians 3:20b

A child 12 or under can ride free in a canoe with 2 people. A raft is $22 per person on Sunday with children 7 & under free. Tubes are $20 per person.

Rafts are $33 on Saturday.)
