Lutheran Life When We Breathe Together This is the blessing we cannot speak by ourselves.
How would St. John’s be living into God’s dream if we:
This is the blessing we cannot summon by our own devices, cannot shape to our purpose, cannot bend to our will.
•
This is the blessing that comes when we leave behind our aloneness, when we gather together, when we turn toward one another.
•
This is the blessing that blazes among us when we speak the words strange to our ears, when we finally listen into the chaos, when we breathe together at last.

When you ask most Lutherans “What is Pentecost,” you will hear at least two familiar themes: “It’s a day in which the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus followers with a rush of wind and tongues of flame and lots of languages heard, the Church’s birthday. It’s a ‘red-letter’ day!” OR “It’s a L-O-N-G season in which we celebrate growth in the church. Green characterizes that growth.” What would happen if we also considered the idea—breathing together—presented in the above poem by author Jan Richardson? Such a consideration seems to be the point; remember both the Hebrew word for spirit (ruach) and the Greek word for Spirit (pneuma) both mean “breath.”

Found our breath quickened when a friend received exciting, potentially life-changing news of a scholarship granted or a promotion offered or an honor bestowed Matched the ragged breath of a neighbor when there are no more tears left to cry Drew in, held for a moment, and then exhaled that sighing “I just don’t know” breath that indicates the answer is not yet clear Slowly synchronized our breathing with one who was approaching death’s door Felt our breaths coming more and more quickly as we explored neighboring communities on a bike tour Experienced that gasping, sidesplitting breathy laughter that reaches every cell of your body Held our breath in unison to acknowledge a holy and sacred moment
In the early days of Pentecost, during June and July, I invite you to the possibility of “breathing together at last.” In worship. In fellowship. In service. In learning. In ministry. In life! Faithfully,

The Season of Pentecost I heard a beautiful phrase the other day, to describe liturgy and the change of liturgical seasons, “It’s like … tactile literature!” It’s red cloth and flame and a sense of God’s Spirit, breath, or wind moving about the sanctuary as we process, choir singing full force, with the Spirit kite swooping and playing above us, all to welcome… Pentecost! The celebration of the Holy Spirit’s arrival, the birthday of the church! Just before his ascension to heaven, Jesus instructed his disciples to “stay here in the city [Jerusalem] until you have been clothed with power from on high” (Luke 24:49), and again, “you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now” (Acts 1:5). On the day of Pentecost, fifty days after Passover — Pentecost being a Greek word meaning fifty — “they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among the disciples, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability” (2:1-4). What’s more, the people around them, people from all over the world, were able to understand: “each one heard them speaking in the native language of each” (2:7). It’s a miracle of speaking and of hearing, a way made in the wilderness of misunderstanding, a new way of understanding, between people. Hearts open to one another, and thousands become followers of Christ the Way. “So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added.
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers” (2:41-42). As we seek to be more fully the church, to follow Jesus more closely, how might we respond as did Jesus’s first followers? What are opportunities to “remain in the city [Knoxville],” to be “all together in one place?” Having been bathed by the Spirit in baptism, how might we devote ourselves “to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers?” How might we be strengthened by these things for the journey out, to share God’s love and invite others to join us? How might a new way of understanding be formed among us? From a conversation with one of our Tyson House interns (Robin Lovett, also a member of St. John’s!), “liturgy,” from the Greek leitourgia, meaning “public work” or “work of the people,” is the form of our shared, public worship. We often mistake words in a hymnal or a bulletin for liturgy, but liturgy is more than words on a page. Liturgy is what happens in the room, much as a play is more than the words of a script. It’s a feast for the senses, where actions, sights, scents, and sounds awaken a sense of what’s deeper, things perceived not by senses but by our hearts.
CAPTIAL CAMPAIGN
Campaign Update Thanks to the great response and early contributions, we have been able to embark on one of the first priorities with regard to our capital campaign. We have indeed begun “Raising the Roof” with work commencing on Monday, March 28 just after Easter Sunday. Great progress is being made to replace the 103-year-old tiles and make necessary repairs. There are a few pictures below showing the work in progress earlier this month. Also, we want to recognize the work of the contractors and have installed a banner crediting them for their fine work. We also want to thank Richard Bender for playing a key role in contractor management and general oversight to the project. The courtyard wall has been refurbished by Pizzolo Plastering, replacing 60 years of weathering and delamination of the wall. Your campaign follow-up team is headed by Kevin Kimzey and includes Emlyn Cobble, Neil Fischer, John Ley, Tom McGalliard, Dale Teague and Kurt Zinzer. The team’s role is to report and communicate progress in fulfilling the pledge goals as well as the expenditures and priorities of the campaign fruits. On behalf of the campaign and follow-up teams, thank you for your generous support and commitment to the ministries of St. John’s. The primary goals of our three-year “Raising the Roof” capital campaign are mission support, roof replacement, capital improvements, the Saint John’s Endowment and debt reduction. As you can see we are off to a very strong start through the generous gifts of our congregation to date. We are thankful that God is revealing His Spirit with your faithfulness and commitment. Kevin Kimsey Campaign Follow-Up Leader
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
SUNDAY, MAY 22nd A Congregational Meeting is scheduled for Sunday, May 22, 2016 for the purpose of communicating and adopting a 2016-2017 Plan of Ministry. As we give thanks for all the ministry accomplishments of 2015, we also look forward to a new fiscal year of faithful ministry. (July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017) Ongoing conversations with Church Council members and ministry team leaders have produced our recommended Plan of Ministry. This new vision for mission reflects some of the next steps of Vision 2020 through the estimated line item expenses necessary to fulfill our calling. St. John’s Treasurer, Emlyn Cobble, will give a Ministry Plan overview at the congregational meeting. Operating expenses include: benevolence, music and worship, hospitality and welcoming, Christian education, youth learning, parish life, insurance, facility operations and maintenance, office expense, stewardship and support, banking expense, staff salaries and benefits. The congregation will also be celebrating the ongoing success of our Raising the Roof Capital Campaign & receive an updated report on capital improvement progress as well as next steps in the RtR Campaign goals and priorities. Please prayerfully plan to participate in this time of fellowship and thanksgiving by attending the Congregational Meeting on Holy Trinity Sunday, May 22 in the Sparks Fellowship Hall. Thanks for your partnership and support.

FAITH FORMATION
Summer Opportunities for Worship and Faith Formation The St. John’s family will continue to gather for worship at 9:00 and 11:00 AM during June and July, lifting voices in song and reading God’s Word and gathering at God’s table. Additionally, Children’s Sermon will continue to be a time of welcome for St. John’s youngest ones. Since we will take time off from KinderChurch, we will present special activity packets for children, each week presenting new material that relates to that week’s scripture lessons. During the 10:00 hour, we will gather in the Welcome Center for fellowship and refreshments. Consider this a wonderful opportunity to catch up with those folks who worship at the “other” service. If you would like to organize a book discussion group or gather for intercessory prayer or facilitate a Bible study, please feel permission to exercise those God-given gifts! We will crank up an inter-generational class for all of God’s children in August and then kick off fall Faith Formation classes in September.

LUTHERAN LIFE
Towards the end of the workday on a Thursday, a young woman wandered into Tyson House and by the way she carried herself, she was obviously nervous. “Is this Smokey’s Pantry?” she asked, arms crossed. Smokey’s Pantry is a food pantry on UT’s campus, housed right inside Tyson House, the Lutheran & Episcopalian Campus Ministry supported by St. John’s and other congregations in the area. Though Smokey’s Pantry is not just a ministry of Tyson House, Tyson House interns staff it and our volunteers maintain the space. We – Rusty and myself, the interns who run the pantry – told her she was in the right place. We also explained that usually, we distribute food on Tuesdays, but that she was still welcome to some groceries. Immediately, you could see the tenseness she carried dissipate (even if just a little) and her expression soften. She unfolded her arms and smiled as we led her to the back of our building, where the pantry is located. One entrance of Tyson House will lead one directly to our chapel, where Sunday services take place. Another entrance will lead a guest to a cozy lounge area, and through that lounge is Smokey’s Pantry. The pantry is a long room in the back of the ministry. The orange walls are lined with seven sets of shelves and two freezers, which our volunteers fill with all sorts of items – canned fruits and vegetables, canned meat, cereal, frozen bread, yogurt, tampons, and shampoo (among many other things). The young woman stared at the shelves and held the grocery bags we had just given her. “Can I just take whatever?” she asked. Rusty explained to her how it works: from each shelf, a guest can choose for herself a certain number of items. We don’t choose our guests’ groceries for them, because our guests are the most capable of making those kinds of decisions for themselves; for us, it’s a way of showing our respect for the people who come through our doors.
As she shopped, she talked to us about her life. She was a freshman at UT, a firstgeneration, working student, and she had run out of meals at the cafeteria for the week. She explained she didn’t have money for food, but her mom would get paid soon and send her enough to get by until Sunday. “I thought I could just wait it out,” she explained, “but I am so hungry.” After she gathered her food, she thanked us, hugged us, and then thanked us again before she left.
Her story is a common one at Smokey’s Pantry. The truth is that there are a lot of students who fall through the cracks at UT, and many of them are hungry as a result. Another common story is from the UT staff, many of whom visit Smokey’s on a given week. Most often, the staff that visits us work full time (and many of them have a second job on top of that), but still can’t afford to support their children, grandchildren, nieces, or nephews. Every week, Smokey’s Pantry feeds upwards of eighty-five people in our community, and the

majority of them are students and staff. We also feed many of our homeless neighbors, low-income families in Fort Sanders, and the community of South Knoxville. Each Tuesday, we hear heartbreaking stories of abject poverty hiding behind ivory towers and receive grateful thank-yous and God-blessyous. Meeting the simple need for food is one thing that Smokey’s Pantry does; however, this is not the most important part of this ministry. We also meet relationship needs, and spiritual needs. We do not simply hand out hundreds of bags of groceries every week, but instead we strive to know our guests and learn how to love them. We provide our guests with a community, and this is the core of our ministry. Every time we open the pantry doors, Christ is revealed to us and in us: He is revealed in each guest and in each volunteer. Through the community of care that we are building at Smokey’s Pantry, we bring one another closer to God. As Christians, we often talk about Matthew 25, the “as you do unto the least of these” passage. We’re told that when we see the hungry and feed them, we are also feeding Christ; conversely, when we do not feed the hungry, we are also keeping food from Christ. But in our own pride, we sometimes forget that Christ is not found in those of us who serve, but instead, He is revealed to us in need being met. Nadia Bolz-Weber, the popular Lutheran pastor from Denver, Colorado, wrote: Christ’s presence is not embodied in those who feed the hungry (as important as that work is), but Christ’s presence is in the hungry being fed. … And to be clear, Christ does not come
to us as the poor and hungry. Because, as anyone for whom the poor are not an abstraction but actual flesh and blood people knows, the poor and hungry and imprisoned are not a special class of Christ like people. And those who meet their needs are not a romantic special class of Christ like people. No, Christ comes to us in the needs of the poor and hungry, needs that are met in one another so that the gleaming redemption of God might be known. At Smokey’s, we do not proselytize with our words and Bibles so much as help people know God’s love through our actions and in the love we give. Perhaps this is why our community grows every week (on April 19th, we reached over 100 people in our community!). St. John’s has provided so much support, and we are so grateful. If you are interested in donating money, items, or time to Smokey’s, contact us online and we’ll let you know our greatest needs at the time.

St. John’s Lutheran Church and Kids Hope USA provide adult mentors at Christenberry Elementary. We are about to complete our 8th year. Below you will find an article by Isaac Taylor, our newest mentor, and Sharon Stancher, who volunteered in the Community School after school program. We’re looking forward to new volunteers coming on board for the 2016-17 school year. Jackie Tucker & Dave Thomas will become mentors in the fall and Debbie Sweany will be a support mentor to her husband as Dave & Dylan transfer to a community based relationship. If you would like to hear more about this program, please contact me at 865-591-4803 or thea@sjlcknox.org. There are children at Christenberry who would greatly benefit by having a SJLC mentor. Thanks for your continued support of this wonderful program that is changing lives of children in our community. Hi, my name is Isaac Taylor & I have been mentoring at Christenberry Elementary School for about 2 months now. At first, I was nervous about becoming a mentor for a young “at risk” student at Christenberry. I decided, though, that I needed to at least try to help out this young fellow. I'm glad I did. Even though my "little brother" and I are still getting to know each other, we have started to make a very meaningful connection. Gabe gets very excited when I come to see him (he speed walks around the halls when I show up, and I have a hard time at 6'4" keeping up with him). At first, I was at a loss of how to spend our weekly meetings together, but as our relationship began to develop by simply going to have lunch with him, he began to ask to do certain things at school. Now, it seems like there is just not enough time to do all of the things Gabe wants to do when I go to see him. Another thing I have learned while spending time in the role of "mentor" is that it's not my job to "fix" anything. It's not even really my job to directly help Gabe. It's simply my job to show up when I say that I'll show up and be in good spirits. Just being someone that the kids can rely on goes a huge way.
I have had the privilege of volunteering at Christenberry Elementary School’s Community School this year. Thea recruited me to assist with the Manners Club after school on Tuesdays. When I arrived, I was asked to help with the Newspaper Club instead. Anyone who knows me, knows that English and Writing are not gifts that I have. I told Mrs. Seaton, the teacher in charge, that she might have another student on her hands - me! The 5 or 6 students use the time to research, interview and write articles that will be published, printed and given to each student in the school. The articles can be an interview of a staff member, a description of a club at the school or any subject that interests them. I helped them with their grammar, ideas for new articles and entering their completed articles in the computer.
There are many kids like Gabe at Christenberry, and there are many people praying for them. I've done my best to answer a prayer for little Gabe. Peace be with you!
Mostly, I gave them encouragement and was an adult that cared about them. When leaving the first day, I said to the students that I would see them next week. One of the girls looked at me and said, “You’ll be back?” I said I would as often as I could. Her smile just melted my heart! One boy wrote the most hilarious and well-written poem about Duct Tape! I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Christenberry!
