"I will pour out my Spirit on all people" Joel 2:28
FROM THE PASTOR
On Parapets and Guns
I write these words a couple days after a mass shooting took the lives of 19 children and two
teachers at a school in Texas. The event is sickeningly familiar in our country, which over the past
25 years has had a hundred times more mass shootings (defined as four or more people killed)
than other industrialized countries, and which has three times more gun homicides per capita than
other industrialized countries.
Assuming that Americans are not angrier or crazier or more violent than people in other countries,
it’s clear that what makes the difference is our laws. US laws allow much easier access to guns,
and when there are guns at hand, they are more likely to be used by angry or deranged people.
But my aim here is not to offer my views on gun laws. The basic information about that topic is
widely available anyway. I do want to point out an easily overlooked commandment in the book of
Deuteronomy that can help us think about guns and other dangerous objects and our
responsibility for how they are used.
“When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the
guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof” (22:8).
To follow the point here, it helps to know that roofs on ancient houses were flat, which made them
appealing places for people to hang out, especially when they wanted to enjoy a cool breeze on a
hot summer night. This feature of the roof made it likely that people would fall off the roof and be
injured or killed.
Therefore, the commandment instructs builders to take the precaution of installing a railing to
prevent people from falling off. The commandment assumes that builders who don’t take this
precaution are guilty of the injury that occurs from any fall, since the fall was easily foreseen.
The larger point of the commandment, then, is that we are responsible for the hazardous things
we make or own, and we need to take at least minimal precautions so that other people are not
easily harmed by them.
There is no talk of rights here, as in, “it’s my house and I have the right to build it as I like”; the
commandment assumes that we live in a community and are responsible for one another’s safety.
The commandment does not pretend to be able to prevent all falls from roofs. Accidents will
happen, and people will sometimes behave in reckless and unpredictable ways. Nevertheless, we
are responsible for doing the minimum to guard against the
obvious hazards and dangers that we have introduced into
the world.
Meditation on this commandment would transform the
debate about gun laws, the responsibility of gunmakers, and
the responsibility we all have for one another. It would lead
us to do much more to protect what the author of
Deuteronomy assumes to be precious beyond words: the
image of God in every person.
Faithfully, Pastor David
The Messiah Messenger pg. 2 June 2022
Again - We send our Thoughts and Prayers….
Give some thought to what needs to change to protect all God’s children
Give some thought about communicating these needs to those who
represent us that can make the changes
Pray for enlightenment for those who represent us - no matter where
they fall on the political spectrum.
Pray for the strength to lift your voice and demand an end to this
madness.
Prayer is a call to action - both for inward change and outward
manifestation toward the divine.
Where are the Safe Spaces?
My take: A reflection on gun violence
By Tim Brown May 25, 2022 (from Living Lutheran)
“A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she
refused to be consoled, because they are no more” (Matthew 2:18).
A grocery store.
A church.
An elementary school.
Buffalo. Laguna Woods. Uvalde.
When I was a little boy, I was told about “safe spaces.” These were places you could go if you
were lost or in trouble. The people there would help you. If you added “fire station” to the above
list, you’d have just about every space I was told would be a refuge.
In the span of just 10 days, all these supposed safe spaces have been drowned in tears and blood
and screams and gunfire. They’ve been exposed as not being safe at all in the presence of assault
rifles.
Tell me, beloved, where should I tell my children to go?
We aren’t meant to bury our babies.
I’ve been told that having a heart broken over and over makes it nimble and compassionate, but
maybe having a heart broken over and over makes it numb. Or calloused. Or ineffective.
We must do something.
It’s beyond terrifying and sad that these incidents happen so frequently that denominations,
including our own, have had to include a “gun violence litany” in our worship resources. The litany
is powerful, expressing pain and sorrow. It’s one of those tools you hope you never have to use.
But we’ve had to haul it out three times in the past 10 days — including just last night, to stand
with parents who wouldn’t be tucking their babies into bed because we can’t seem to find a way to
come together to pry these weapons of mass destruction out of hands that harm or close the
stores that profit off them or shut down the gun lobbyists who care more about their bottom lines
than the souls who stare down the barrels.
The Messiah Messenger pg. 3 June 2022
Safe Spaces (continued)
The issue is complex, but for the life of me — for the lives of those babies, teachers, churchgoers
and daily-bread shoppers — I can’t understand how something can be so complex that it paralyzes
the halls of power.
The ELCA’s “60-day journey toward justice” provides an excellent path for communities of faith to
walk with one another, exploring ways to grieve, advocate and live into Christ’s call to be
peacemakers. I commend it to you and your community to use together.
We must do something.
In the second chapter of Matthew, we find the matriarch of the faith, Rachel, weeping over the
slaughter of the innocent children of Bethlehem, having been sacrificed on the altar of political
power and fear.
I can’t help but think that Rachel wept again last night, joining her tears with ours and joining her
voice with the anguished cries coming from Uvalde.
But if crying and prayers alone worked, we wouldn’t be here again. We must cry and pray with our
shoes on, ready to do the next best thing, as hard as it may be.
Tim Brown is a pastor, writer, and ELCA director for congregational stewardship.

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN JUNE
Pentecost
The season of Pentecost begins with Pentecost
Sunday on June 5th.
Pentecost is one of the great festivals of the Church. In modern
popular culture it isn't nearly as well-known as Christmas or
Easter, but for Christians it's profoundly significant. It marks the
coming of the Holy Spirit on the disciples and their transformation
from frightened and confused people to men who would face
martyrdom for what they believed.
Pentecost is the fulfilment of two promises. One promise is in the
Old Testament – Joel 2:28, which says "I will pour out my Spirit
on all people", and one in the New, where Jesus says he will send
another Counsellor, the Spirit of truth (John 16: 5-15).
Pentecost is the birthday of the Church. It marks the beginning of Christianity as a purposeful
movement and a new community. When Peter preached immediately afterwards, around 3,000
people believed and were baptized.
The Messiah Messenger pg. 4 June 2022
Prayer for Pentecost
Breath of Life, on this Pentecost Sunday, we ask that You breathe on
us once again. Make our consciences tender to Your touch. We
hunger for the life-changing power that Your Holy Spirit brings. Lord,
we thank You for the transforming work of Your Holy Spirit in our
lives and through our lives toward others. We thank You that You
have given us boldness to proclaim the Gospel. May our lives
exemplify the fruit of Your Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Remind us to use Your power to do the work You have given us.
Amen.
Holy Trinity Sunday – June 12th
Holy Trinity Sunday is the first Sunday after Pentecost to honor the Holy
Trinity – the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. While the word “trinity” does
not appear in in Scripture, it is taught in Matthew 28:18-20 and 2
Corinthians 13:14 along with many other Bible passages. The Bible tells
us, “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on
earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit’” (Matthew 28:18-20). The concept of the Holy Trinity can
never be completely understood. That is the mystery. But it is clearly
taught in Scripture. Understanding this comes through the work of the
Holy Spirit; therefore, it is appropriate that this mystery is celebrated the first Sunday after
Pentecost, when the outpouring of the Holy Spirit first occurred.
Father’s Day!
We celebrate the important men in our lives on
Sunday, June 19th!
A Prayer for Special Male Figures in Our Life
Dear God, We come together to lift up the fathers and father figures
in our lives. We know that blood alone is not the requirement for a
man can to be a father in someone's life, and because of that, we
pray for those who have chosen to step up in the roles of mentorship,
adviser, and supporter in the lives of others.
Please bless their kindness and sacrifice, give them wisdom in their
journey of care, and pour out Your Spirit upon them as they seek to
help others in this world. It is a gallant effort to take on the role as a
spiritual father; on this day, help us celebrate all the men we consider
fathers by making them feel seen, appreciated, and commended.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
A special prayer from Crosswalk.

Memoriam
Dorothy Pollack
December 6, 1920 – May 7, 2022
Long time Messiah member, Dorothy Pollack passed away at 101
on May 7, 2022. Dorothy was living at the Summit in Park Ridge
but hadn’t been able to attend church in recent years, although
she continued to support Messiah. The Pollack-Klunder family
joined the church soon after it was officially organized. Dorothy
and Wally Pollack had both lost their first spouses, married each
other and joined their families of 5 children, before having a 6th
child together. Dorothy worked hard to manage their household
of 5 boys and 1 girl, all under 10! Dorothy and her family were
active in many aspects of church life through the years. Dorothy
was the beloved wife of the late Willard Klunder and later the late
Walter Pollack. She was the loving mother of the late Willard (Kathy) Klunder, Walter
(Barbara) Pollack Jr., Scott
(Rovenna) Klunder, Paula
(Michael) Dwyer, James
(Sheri) Pollack and the late
John Klunder. Dorothy was
the proud grandmother of
thirteen grandchildren and
thirty-five great-
grandchildren.

it!
Thanks,

THIS MONTH IN WORSHIP
Experts of Grace
A Gospel Message from Sunday and Seasons
The disciples experience Jesus to be an unbelievably
authentic teacher, healer, and miracle worker, but Jesus has
made some bold claims about himself. They have just heard
him say, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life”
(John 14:6). They have questions. It is Philip who asks Jesus
to show them the Father. Thomas has already asked how
they can know the way to where Jesus is going.
In response to these questions, Jesus points them to his
unity with the Father, but more so to his works. Just as the art expert looks deeply into the work
on canvas, Jesus invites the disciples to go beyond his words and examine his works. He is
training them to be experts at spotting God’s grace operating all around them. They will have
the Holy Spirit to assist along the way, but the world will neither see nor know the Spirit.
In worship we gather around the waters of baptism, we hear God’s word, and we share in the
bread and wine. These experiences are part of our training to be experts of grace. At the end of
worship, we are sent out with the power of the Holy Spirit to look for grace at work, to share our
good works, and to glorify our Father in heaven.
