WELCOME HERE
An Open and Affirming
United Church of Christ Congregation
God is still speaking ,
We enjoyed many family road trips when our children were little. A part of the planning was communicating to the kids where we were going, about how long it would take to get there, what we would see
along the way and what we would likely be doing when we got “there.” Inevitably, no matter how much
we talked to the kids about the ‘journey’, no matter how much we communicated to them about the
drive and the length of the trip; we still had to repeatedly answer the question, “Are we there yet?” with
updated information…all along the way.
Our church family is on a journey and effectively communicating with you …all along the way is important. As you are keenly aware, Ebenezer UCC has ventured into some ‘unknown’ territory with
Rev. Roger’s ½ time status as of August 1, 2014. We, as a congregation, have approved deficit budgets for several years. While we have grown as a congregation and have made strides toward decreasing the amount of that deficit each year, we have not ‘closed the gap’, enough, to be able to responsibly sustain the employment of two full-time pastors and financially sustain the ministries of our congregation. ALL of these financial issues/concerns have been clearly communicated, all along the way, for
a couple of years. After months and months of ‘stressing the details’, Rev. Roger prayerfully discerned
a solution that would alleviate some of the pressure for congregation and the staff. For his wisdom,
commitment and faithful discernment, I am so very grateful.
While the ominous and omnipresent budget issues and constraints have been somewhat alleviated, for
the moment, by Rev. Roger’s move from full-time to half-time; a whole host of other questions, anxious
concerns, and ‘wondering’ have now risen for a number of you…and for Rev. Roger and me. While we
don’t have any ‘answers’ right now, we certainly want to communicate as much information as we have
and will continue to do so as our journey continues.
With two full-time pastors, we expanded the ministry and ministries of the congregation. With one and
½ pastors, we need to discern: the priorities of the pastors’ time, which areas of ministry/responsibility
can be assumed by members of the congregation, what may not be able to be done at the moment,
and how we move forward. Please know and be assured that pastoral care IS a priority. When you
and/or your family members are hospitalized, PLEASE make sure you communicate this to us.
With all of the renewal and growth Ebenezer UCC has experienced as a gift of the Spirit through the
commitment of our members, we DO NOT want to become a ‘maintenance ministry’ congregation.
God is always calling us into the future and equipping us for the ministry to which we are called. This
we know. Nonetheless, HOW we live into this call and future is not completely clear and evident at this
time. We are NOT there yet…but God is certainly with us as we journey together as the church, the
body of Christ.
At the present time, Rev. Roger and I are seeking to discern what “living” this new configuration is /will
be like. We don’t feel the full effects of it as our student Pastor, Beth Petzke, has been an incredible
gift and presence ‘in such a time as this.’ She has wonderful gifts that she generously shares as a part
of her internship. Still, in the midst of the busyness of the new programming year, we have made time
for conversation about this transition.
For now, we respectfully ask for a little time to discern what this staffing configuration means. If you
have questions/concerns, we--in addition to the Consistory members and the Pastoral Relations Committee members—are all available to speak with you. We will be planning some congregational discussion opportunities, perhaps during the Lent Soup and Sandwich Suppers, and we encourage all of you
to plan to participate, sharing your hopes and insights for the ministry of Ebenezer. We will develop a
long range planning team that will work with facilitators to envision, discern and clarify the ministry and
needs of Ebenezer as we look to the next 5-10 years…and how we might best ‘staff’ for that.
When Rev. Roger first talked to me about moving to ½ time, I could only hear and ‘see’ the down-side
of not having him here full-time. As the initial shock has worn off and the Spirit has made it clear that
we are capable of so much more than we envision or imagine for ourselves, I recognize more and
more that this transition really can be seen and understood as a blessing. We have been given the
opportunity to think and pray about the ministries and future of our congregation WHILE we have the
wisdom, experience and leadership of Rev. Roger among us. I pray we can see what a blessing, what
a gift this is!
Thus far God has helped us…and God will still be with us and help us. We know this. I pray that we
will remember this as we continue to journey through these unknown times. We will encounter difficulty and hardship…but we will also know celebration and much joy! We will definitely feel like we are
wandering and wondering sometimes…but we will also be reminded that the Jesus, the Head of the
Church, journey’s with us—so even though we may feel a little lost sometimes, we are always safe and
‘found.’
Peace be with you in this season of Thanksgiving and Abundance.
Blessings,
Rev. Lorri

Items needed for the Care Packages for College Students include:
Hot Chocolate

Life Savers (or other hard candy) – good for nervous test takers

The Sunday School Christmas program is just around the corner! ALL children are welcome to participate and ALL
children who participate will be featured in either a solo or small ensemble part. There are a very limited number of
speaking parts in this program; and. we will be holding informal auditions to assign them, and to help identify how best
to organize the solo and small ensemble singing parts. Auditions will be held on Sunday November 2 directly following 10:30am worship in the Music Room/Library lounge. Children will be asked to read or recite a couple of
lines from the program and to sing a familiar song (Happy Birthday, Jesus Loves Me, etc.). If your child does not wish
to have a speaking part, they do not need to come to auditions - we will make sure that they have a solo or small ensemble singing part that they are comfortable with. If you have any questions please see Donna Roblee or Kristal
Klemme

EDUCATE UPDATE
Our children have chosen a mission that they would like to support this Sunday School year! They have selected the Oasis for Orphans mission which helps to rescue orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya and to
develop them physically, spiritually, economically, and socially, enabling these children to one day be contributing members of their community and future leaders in their country. The offerings your children bring each
Sunday help to support this mission. For additional information go to http://www.oasisfororphans.org.
*A big THANK YOU to all the children and families that participated in the Children’s Sabbath Service. It was
great to see all the children that could participate by being in the skit and/or singing so beautifully! Keep up
the great work!!!
*The next Christian Education Meeting will be held on Thursday, November 13, 2014 at 6:30 pm. Anyone is
welcome to attend!

Reading Changes Lives. Imagine a world where literacy is no longer a concern … now
imagine if we could begin here in our community!
The Inmate Library is in need of gently-used books.
The kinds of books needed are: Current or recent reference books such as dictionaries (both English
and Spanish/English), inspiring stories of resilience, biographies, autobiographies, popular titles and authors,
classic titles and authors, mysteries, and poetry.
No romance novels.
Soft cover or paperback only!
There will be a bin in the Gathering Area to deposit your book donations.
The Inmate Library is located in the Sheboygan County Detention Center, 2923 S. 31st Street. Sharon Abel,
the Correctional Education Instructor through Lakeshore Technical College, is requesting the books to supplement their library. She works with students at the Detention Center ranging in age from 18 to 58 with most in
their 20s and 30s. The library is facilitated through the Eastern Shores Library System to provide books to the
inmates (adult and juvenile, male and female) in Sheboygan County.
After reading Hot Dogs and Hamburgers, a book about adult literacy education, the Sunday evening book study
group discussed what could be done locally. We thought this was a good place to start.
Any questions, contact Grace Rindfleisch, Invite Ministry Coordinator, or Student Pastor Beth Petzke.

"Nuns on the Bus" Leader to Speak at Lakeland College
Sister Simone Campbell, a provocative and sometimes controversial awardwinning religious leader, attorney and poet, will deliver Lakeland College’s Mission House Lecture on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at 11 am
The free lecture, which will be held in the Bradley Theatre, is open to the public.
Her talk is entitled,
"The Burning Bush – Faith and Advocacy for the 100%."
Simone has often been featured in the national and international media, including
appearances on 60 Minutes, The Colbert Report and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. She is also the
author of "A Nun on the Bus: How All of Us Can Create Hope, Change, and Community,"
THANKSGIVING BASKETS
In this season of thanksgiving, we have a very tangible way to express our
gratitude for the abundant presence of God and the many ways we are able to
see the living Christ working in our lives.
On Sunday, November 2nd, 2014, we will again provide the baskets, shopping
lists and prayers. We are asking that members, families, organizations within
our congregation, etc., work together to fill these baskets with a Thanksgiving
Meal for families in our area. Two or Three families can work together to do
this, 2 individuals and a family, an organization and a family…however we
want to connect and partner with one another to provide a meal for a family! Last year we delivered 34
complete baskets! By the grace of God, I pray that we will be able to meet that goal this year.
Sample prayers will be placed in each empty basket. We ask that those who are working to fill this basket
pray for the family who will receive it when you take the basket. We also ask that you pray before you go
shopping. While you are actually doing your shopping, you are encouraged to keep this family in your
thoughts and prayers. There will also be a prayer for assembling the basket. THEN, on Sunday, November 24th, we ask that all assembled baskets be brought to the church. All baskets will be placed
near the communion table and be dedicated during the worship service. Following the service, these baskets will be delivered to families in our area.
Again, the empty baskets will be available on Sunday, November 2nd, 2014. As we are nourished by
the sacrament of Holy Communion, may we be encouraged to reach out and nourish and be a blessing for others. If you have any questions, please contact Rev. Lorri.
Peace,
Rev. Lorri

Reading Changes Lives. Imagine a world where literacy is no longer a concern … now imagine if we could begin here in our community!
The Literacy Council needs volunteers to serve as One-On-One Tutors for adults in Sheboygan.
Help adults who would like to improve their basic literacy skills, or who would like to learn to speak, read, and
write English. The Literacy Council provides all training and instructional materials for tutors. After two evenings
of training, new volunteers are matched with adult learners from its waiting list. Tutoring schedules are flexible to
suit tutor and student availability. On average, a tutor spends two hours a week tutoring their student. Students
and teachers meet at mutually agreeable times and places, such as the public library. No prior tutoring or teaching background is needed to become a tutor – just patience, a high school diploma, and a desire to help an adult
improve his or her English literacy. The next training sessions will be held in January. Please call 920-892-6706
or email [email protected] to register or to learn more.
The Sheboygan County Detention Center is looking for volunteer tutors in its classroom.
Tutors are needed to help in the classroom at the southside jail facility (Sheboygan County Detention Center,
2923 S. 31st Street). Volunteers would be working with Sharon Abel, Correctional Education Instructor through
LTC. Students range in age from 18 to 58 with most in their 20s and 30s. You can work in a subject you are comfortable tutoring: reading, writing, mathematics, science, or social studies with an emphasis on civics. She is also
looking for individual(s) with experience in manufacturing, particularly industrial maintenance. The main times
available for tutoring within the Detention Center classroom are Tues. and/or Wed. and/or Thurs. afternoons. If a
potential tutor wants to visit once and see what it's like that would be fine.
Background checks are necessary for all volunteers. See Grace Rindfleisch, Invite Ministry Coordinator, if you
have questions or are interested (457-9235 or [email protected]).
Some Facts about Literacy and Adults in the U.S.
20 % of adults in the U.S. lack basic reading skills. That means that one in five lacks the
basic skills beyond the fourth-grade reading level. (Proliteracy.com)
75% of today’s jobs require a ninth-grade reading level.
The School-to-Prison Pipeline: The link between academic failure and delinquency, violence, and crime is welded to reading. (The Department of Justice)
More than 70% of prison inmates cannot read above a fourth-grade level.
(Begintoread.com)
85% of those who enter the juvenile court system are functionally illiterate.
(Begintoread.com)
Inmates who receive no literacy help have a 70% chance of returning to prison - the
risk decreases to 16% for those who receive help while incarcerated.

alter area ( installed in 1974).
If you cannot work or cook, mark your calendar to stop down to the Brat Fry and Bake Sale.
The menu has brats, hamburgers, veggie burgers and chicken sandwiches on Sheboygan hard rolls.
We will also plan on selling remaining sandwiches and baked goods on Sunday Nov. 9, for take home .
