Pastor Dennis Accepts New Call
As many of you may have heard, Pastor Dennis has taken a
full-time call to serve Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church in Merrill
beginning November 1st. The Call Committee has been meeting
to look at our future options over the past year. We pray for
God’s blessings on Pastor Dennis as he assumes his new duties
and pray that he is able to help the congregation heal from the
recent loss of their pastor and plan their future.
On October 28th, the advisory council and call committee
will be meeting with Bishop Mansholt to discuss future options.
Depending on what the Bishop shares with us on the 28th, and
other possibilities brought up, we will come up with a plan. For
the immediate future, the Parish intends to continue to use Lois
Graper and Shirley Pockat to lead worship on non-communion
Sundays, and will contact ordained pulpit supply for communion
Sundays. Baptisms and funerals can be conducted by Lois
Graper at this time, and if the Bishop approves it, she will also
be able to do weddings. Again, if necessary, we will find ordained Pastors to do what cannot be done by lay people.
We are also happy to announce that Lois Graper has applied
for the Teem Program (The Education of Emerging Ministries)
and will be considered for acceptance into this program by the
Synod Candidacy Committee in December. This is a 3-year program that ends with ordination. It is specifically designed to
raise people up from within the congregation to work into an
ordained position. The Advisory Council voted unanimously to
support Lois in this program.

FRIENDSHIP MINISTRY
Beginning in August, a team of lay “Friendship Ministers”
started contacting all members by phone. They will pass
along important church information, ask how you are, find
out if you have any church related questions they can answer, and ask if you have any concerns you would like to
pass along to the staff. They WILL NOT ask you for anything else.
This Friendship Ministry is a means of providing God’s care and
love to all our members on an intentional and continuing basis. Our
purpose is to increase the sense of fellowship and outreach among our
members, to be an evangelism arm of the church, to nurture and comfort
our members, and strengthen one another in faith.
(Continued from page 1-Future Plans)
There is a possibility that Bishop Mansholt
will license Lois some time in the future to be
able to offer communion, but nothing has been
decided on that at this time. Lois has also been
approved by the Advisory Council to take on
the Administrative Pastoral duties of the parish,
and has already received the blessing of the
Bishop for this.
Rest assured that the spiritual needs of the
parish will be covered one way or another until
our future plan is determined. Representatives
from the Advisory Council will meet with Diane in November to work out some of the de.
tails and submit a proposal based on the outcome of the meeting with the Bishop to the Advisory Council for approval. This will then be
shared with the congregations and they will be
given an opportunity to voice their opinions.
Because of the financial climate of our parish, we are encouraged to come up with a creative solution that will allow us to continue the
mission of The United Lutheran Parish. All of
our congregations are struggling financially,
and the option of a full-time or 3/4 time ordained Pastor is not felt to be a reality. We pray
for God’s guidance in determining our future.

TEAM REFLECTIONS
I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in
every one of my prayers for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel from
the first day until now. I am confident of
this, that the one who began a good work
among you will bring it to completion by
the day of Jesus Christ. -Philippians 1:3-6
Dear Members of The United Lutheran Parish,
As many of you are already aware, I
have received a Letter of Pastoral Call
from Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church in
Merrill to become the pastor of that congregation. I have had almost five years of
what I feel has been good ministry at
TULP, and have been blessed by those
years. At this time however, I sense that
God is calling me to a new place, and to
move in a new direction. In keeping with
this, I have informed the Presidents of the
TULP Congregations and the Advisory
Council, and announced at worship that I
by Pastor Dennis
have accepted the call from Our Saviour’s,
and will be leaving from The United Lutheran Parish. My last Sunday was October
19, and my last day of work in the parish
was October 24.
I’ve been asked by the Synod Office
to make it clear to all the members of
TULP that, once I leave the parish to accept a new call, I will no longer be able
to perform any pastoral acts in the congregations of the parish, or with the
members of the parish. This includes, but
isn’t limited to: weddings; funerals;
preaching; visiting people in the hospital;
and any other pastoral function. Bishop
Mansholt will be working with the Call
Committee and Advisory Council to provide
pastoral care once I am no longer present.
Thank you for all you have done for
me, for the support you have given me,
for your prayers and encouragement, and
for sharing your lives with me. I have been
blessed by your love for Jesus, and by your
love for each other. May God continue to
bless you.
I will continue to remember the parish in prayer, that God will provide the
guidance and people needed to lead the
congregations of TULP into the future. May
God’s richest blessing rest upon you all.
In Christ’s love,
God’s Blessing to you, Pastor Dennis, on your new call at
Our Saviour’s in Merrill. Thank you for the past 5 years of
leading The United Lutheran Parish.
We wish you the best on this new challenge, and pray that
the congregation of Our Saviour’s is supportive of the
leadership skills you bring with you. Thank you again for
what you have given to us and for answering God’s call.

TULP FOOD PANTRY
Thank you to Peace Ladies
for donating some quilts to
be given to Food Pantry
families. It will help keep
them warm this winter and
will be very much appreciated. Also thanks to Lois
Graper and Patsy for getting the bags packed up
and distributed on the 15th, and to Jerry Alfheim
for picking up the food and Pete Forstner and Jerry
for helping Patsy unload the food.
With Thanksgiving coming up, we will try to
put some special items in the food bags so the families can enjoy a treat for the holiday. Thank you to
Roger and Hazel Kucksdorf for supplying the turkey products they will be receiving.
The Elias Sunday School youth are holding a
food drive in November—please support them as
you can. Each church should have a basket to collect items for the food pantry. If not, if you put it in
a grocery bag and mark it for TULP Food Pantry,
someone will be sure to get it delivered to us.
For November, we could use canned cranberries, boxed stuffing mix, instant potatoes and gravy
mixes to add to the bags (we have a good supply of
pumpkin at this time). You continued support is
very much appreciated. Thank You!!

St. John's ladies completed the sewing project for
Lutheran World Relief and shipped them out the
first Friday in October. We made and filled 42 school
backpacks, 7 baby layette kits, and 16 blankets. We
also made and filled 14 school backpacks for The Orphan Grain Train.
Thank you to all who helped fill them and for
Mary Rades for helping make the school back packs it is much appreciated.
We will miss Pastor Dennis’s preaching and
lovely singing as he will be leaving to serve at a
church in Merrill. We all wish him well in his new
call. For the immediate future, we will be served by
our lay people, Lois Graper and Shirley Pockat, with
help from ordained pastors. The advisory council and
call committee will be meeting with the Bishop on
October 28th to further plan our future. We are looking forward to a good transition.

MY MONTHLY CONTRIBUTION SUMMARY
You can write one check for the whole month. If you
are on vacation or out of town, you can be assured that
you did not miss your weekly contribution if you plan
for it each month as outlined below. Because your
name, church code, and church number are printed on
the label on the reverse side, it will be very easy for
money counters to post to the correct account. If you
have any comments or special donations, please make a
note about it and include it all on the same check if you
wish. When there are special fund raisers or special

collections, they can also be noted on this form if we
know about it ahead of time. You can put this in an
envelope and drop in the collection basket, or mail it to
the address listed below for your church. If you wish,
you can still use your church envelope if you prefer.
Any suggestions or comments are
always welcome. Please give this a try
to see if it will work in the future.
Thanks.
