Warm, seasonal weather has arrived and so has the fourth issue of “Theodore Talks.” I hope this issue finds everyone embracing all things outdoorsy and active.

All things music and creative!

Last month, I mentioned a song in progress. Well, the new tune is complete and should be integrated into the worship life of Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, Hazelwood, in the coming months. I am looking forward to teaching, So I Will Love Him, and sharing the message of living in God’s love through heart, mind, and spirit.

The Greenleaf Singers have had a wonderful time performing at the St. Louis Renaissance Faire. The crowds have been most appreciative and the group has received multiple accolades.

My role as Francois I, King of France, for the St. Louis Renaissance Faire has been great thus far. The faire has seen huge crowds and much merriment by all in attendance. There is still time to come join in the fun with two weekends remaining, June 6th-7th and June 13th-14th.

Living Life to the +Plus!

This month’s tip for taking one simple step to harmonious health is all about eating...

What is food fit for a king? Whole and unprocessed foods such as multiple servings of fruits and vegetables; whole grains; proteins such as red meats, chicken, fish, nuts and the like are what every person can eat for harmonious health.

 

Here is the second of the Five Principles of Living and Passing on Faith:

Principle Two: The church is a living partnership between the ministry of the congregation and ministry of the home.
              Even in the early church, the apostles lived out their faith "every day,
              in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching
              and preaching that the Christ is Jesus." (Acts 5:42) Also, Paul "did not
              shrink from doing anything helpful, proclaiming the message [to you]
              and teaching [you] publicly and from house to house..." (Acts 20:20)

              What does this principle mean for us? How are we to live out our faith
              daily? The church provides each of us with the Spiritual Grocery Bag
              filled with God's Word and other simple tools such as hymnals,
              devotion books, etc., which lead and teach us how to be in Caring
              Conversations, Devotions, Service, and Rituals and Traditions no
              matter where or with whom we live and work.

Volume 1, No. 5. will be sent out towards the end of June, perhaps as a double issue so that I can catch up with the monthly aspect of the newsletter. If you know of anyone who would like to receive this newsletter, let me know and I can add their information to the list or you can send them to the contact/subscription page of my website: www.theodorejander.com/?page_id=40

Blessings to each of you!
