Prayer in the Chapel

Mondays 6-6:30 PM

The main focus of our time together is to pray for God’s direction and vision for SUMC and for our own lives. This is a time of prayer (speaking to and listening to God). Be sure to quiet your thoughts and take some time to listen.

Feel free to read the Bible or some hymns to help focus your minds. God uses those to speak to us as well. On the back of this sheet are some recommended scriptures and hymns, although don’t feel you have to stick to those. Sometimes God can also speak to us by opening the book (Bible or Hymnal) to a random page and reading a random verse.

Be open to God’s leading. If your attention is continually drawn to a person or event take time to pray for that person or event. You don’t have to know specifics just place them at the feet of God.

It may be helpful for you to bring some paper and a pencil so you can write down anything that God is telling you (through words, images, ideas, scripture, song…).

Salem is one of the earliest Methodist churches in Minnesota. Salem Church started in September 1854, with itinerant pastor, Gustav Zollman, conducting services spoken in German in one or two-room log cabin homes of the parishioners. In 1855, Sunday school was organized. In 1858, five acres of land was purchased with enough property for the church building, a parsonage, land for the cemetery and the adjoining picnic area. The picnic area was used as a campground and for revival meetings. The original log church building built in 1858 was 22’ x 32’.

The names of the first members of Salem Church are Henry Blase, John Busch, Wilhelm Dickmann, Henry Gross, William Korfhage, Richard Morrill, John and William Rolfing. Later members included these families: Gackstetter, Hartnagle, Goppelt, Klein, Kleinschmidt, Kromschroeder, Kurrelmeier, Kurth, Schmidt, Schulte, Sievert, Stutsmann, Thoele, and Zehnder. Some descendants still live in Inver Grove Heights and continue to worship at Salem Church.

Salem’s 20 members constructed the historical sanctuary, now called the Heritage Chapel, in 1868 at a cost of $4,000. The sanctuary consisted of plain windows, straight benches, a pump organ, kerosene lamps and two wood burning stoves for heat. That same year a parsonage was built next to the church building. In 1872, the tall steeple was added. A bell tower was installed in 1881. In 1909, the basement beneath the Heritage Chapel was dug out using horses and “slushers” to make room for the growing Sunday school. In 1915, the worship service language changed from German to English. Stained glass windows, curved wooden pews and hardwood floors were installed in 1916. In 1958, construction of additional Sunday school classrooms, a kitchen, and fellowship area was completed. In 1964, a second addition consisting of more classrooms and office space was finished. The Heritage Chapel served as the sanctuary for the people of Salem United Methodist Church for 126 years. Today, the Heritage Chapel is used for Sunday school openings, Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve services, and small weddings.

The present Worship Center was built in 1994, the Heritage Chapel was remodeled and redecorated. Worship style changed to a more contemporary format and is led by a Praise Team. Major landscaping work was done and a lighted sign was added in 2002. In 2003, a stained glass window representing Jesus and the children was installed in the Worship Center. Ministry is increasing with ongoing involvement in the Neighbors Food Shelf, Operation Christmas Child and STORM Camp.

The people of SUMC are actively involved in serving people in the Inver Grove Heights area. Salem ministry events include the Pumpkin Party, Operation Christmas Child, Fill a Backpack Campaign, Feed My Starving Children, the Neighbors Inc. food shelf and visits to Woodlyn Heights Care Center. The basketball court on the church parking lot is available for use much of the time.

People are invited to identify their SHAPE for ministry and then to serve consistent with how God has wired them. SHAPE stands for Spiritual gifts, Heath, natural Abilities, Personality, and Experience.

The people of SUMC are also active in multiple mission trips to the Gulf Coast (Biloxi.MS, New Orleans.LA, Slidell.LA), to help the people who suffered from the 2005 Hurricanes. Visit this website for more information. http://www.rodscof.blogspot.com/

A Bible study for senior adults is usually held the third Tuesday of each month. Afterward the group goes out for lunch. Other Bible studies are held as scheduled by the pastor, usually for 10 weeks at a time.

Education classes for all ages are held year-round Sunday mornings. There are two classes for adults. Lessons are Bible-centered. During the summer, classes are inter-generational.

Worship at Salem Church is participatory and multi-sensory. You are invited to welcome other people. People participate in the way they feel most comfortable. Children come forward for a special time together. During singing people usually stand. Clapping and raising hands is invited. Please bring your Bible. Dramas, video clips, and visuals are used to help enhance the message.

A typical worship service includes a greeting time, special time for children, prayer, singing, and a biblically-based message that gives you something for the week. The aim is for worship to be inspiring and to be open to people seeking a relationship with God.

Salem Church is part of the United Methodist Church, the second largest Protestant denomination in the United States. There are over 400 United Methodist Churches in Minnesota and over 36,000 across the United States. For more information go to minnesotaumc.org for Minnesota information or umc.orgfor national and international information.

Also Salem Church is part of the RiverBend United Methodist churches. This association has five UMC churches in northern Dakota County. Our churches are active in Missions to disaster regions (ie. Gulf Coast, Iowa) and we have shared senior activities and other events and festivities.

In 1855 the Michael Gackstetter family, with six children, left St. Jacobs, Ontario, Canada for Minnesota. In 1852 the Adam Laschinger family, who lived at New Hamburg, Ontario, Canada, moved to Dakota County, Minnesota. The Gackstetter family farm was north of the current church property, and the Laschinger’s farm was west of the property on which the church is located.

Both families were members of the Evangelical church in Canada; and shortly after they were settled in Minnesota, they requested the Evangelical church in Canada to send a pastor to Minnesota. In November, 1856, Andrew Tarnutzer, the first Evangelical minister in Minnesota, arrived in Winona, Minnesota. In February, 1857, he arrived in St. Paul. On March 2, 1857, Rev. Tarnutzer organized the first Evangelical class of members of the Evangelical church in Minnesota. Michael Gackstetter was elected the first class leader of the Evangelical church in Minnesota, known as the Salem Evangelical Church.

From 1857 until 1874, a small building across the road from the present site was the place of worship. This small frame building had siding that ran up and down, two windows, one door, and several wooden benches. In 1874 H. E. Bunse became pastor to both Emanuel Evangelical Church at Pine and 11^th Streets in St. Paul, Minnesota, and Salem Evangelical Church. Rev. Bunse began construction of the current building on farm land donated by the Michael Gackstetter family. The church measures 20 feet six inches by 32 feet six inches, has a hall or tower entrance of five feet by seven feet, and measures fourteen feet from the stone foundation to the eaves with a tower of approximately 30 feet. Mr. Hauck of Emmanuel as well as the farmers and people in the neighborhood helped in the construction. Before the present building was completed, Rev. Bunse was elected presiding elder of Emanuel Evangelical Church. Rev. Ernest Hielscher was assigned to Salem Evangelical Church.

The first camp meeting was held on the Gackstetter farm between July 1^st and July 6, 1857. It was reported that there were seven tents erected, two covered wagons, and that there were nine conversions. Among the converts was Jacob Bosshardt of East Prairie, Minnesota. The second camp meeting was held in 1858 on the Adam Laschinger farm, and there were thirteen conversions. These 22 conversions, along with Laschinger and Gackstetter families, comprised the original members. Among the first members of the Salem Kirche, were: Michael Gackstetter, Adam Laschinger, Jacob Binder, Jacob Bosshardt, George Glassing, Frederick Goldberg, Frederick Wm. Goldberg, C. F. Kachel, John Kochendorfer, Heinrich Schafer, Gottfried Schmidt, John Simon, and Frederick Zehnder.

Salem Evangelical Church held continuous worship services until 1910, at which time most of its families migrated to the Winifred Street Church (now Faith United Methodist Church in West St. Paul), with some of the families moving to the West Side Community Church (now a part of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Mendota Heights) and the Zion Methodist Episcopal Church down the road (now Salem United Methodist Church). After its closing, ownership was continued as a historical site by the Evangelical church formed in 1922, by the Evangelical United Brethren church formed in 1946, and lastly by the United Methodist church formed in 1968. Until the late 1960’s when Dakota County renamed streets this road was known as Salem Church Road. It remains the only street in Dakota County to have two historic churches, both named Salem on the same road. Salem Church Road still exists within the boundaries of the City of Sunfish Lake.

In 1949 a group of interested people organized as a committee to care for the building and cemetery grounds. Arthur Schlukebier was elected president and Christian J. Zehnder became secretary-treasurer. The current committee has 16 members.

Since 1955 the committee has held a Founder’s Day service on the first Sunday in June, and in 1998 began an Epiphany Service on the first Sunday in January. The potbelly wood-burning stove is used to heat the building for winter events. The original pump organ is still in the church and used at worship services. Each year there are weddings, family reunions, tours, and other special occasions held at the church. The church building, cemetery, and the grounds capture the local color of a rural atmosphere and a sense of heritage of pioneer courage and steadfast faith in God. The church and adjoining cemetery reveal a great deal about the history of Inver Grove Heights between the 1700s and the present.

The first person buried in the cemetery at Salem Evangelical Church was Anna Borchardt, who made her home with the Adam Laschinger family, according to their family album. The first recorded burial in the cemetery records, however, was of Edward Goldberg in July, 1876.

It is opened for worship at 4:00 p.m. on Epiphany [Usually the 1^st Sunday in January] and Founder’s Day [The first Sunday in June]. For information on renting the Little White Church for small weddings contact Rev. Leonard Boche at 651-482-7881.

Rev. Carolyn Westlake began as pastor of Salem Church in September of 2007. She is married to Rev. Dave Westlake and has three children; Ashley, Franklin, Joshua. She began ordained ministry in 1999. She has a Master of Divinity degree from Asbury Theological Seminary and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of South Florida. Pastor Carolyn is on the conservative/Wesleyan Orthodox side theologically and believes in tradition with a creative flare.

Giving is a biblical concept

Christians give out of obedience and out of a heart of gratitude for all that God has given us as everything; our time, our money and ourselves belong to Him. Giving is an act of worship done with a spirit of thanksgiving. It allows us to bless others and to be a part of what God is doing in our community and around the world. While our culture tells us that happiness comes from accumulating possessions, generosity allows us to break the hold of that fallacy and to learn contentment with what we have. When God works through us and the use of our resources, we experience lasting satisfaction and true joy. How we spend and invest our money reflects the state of our hearts.

2 Corinthians 8:7

How much should I give?

That answer can only be determined between an individual follower of Christ and God. But the Bible provides some guidelines. The Bible teaches us that God owns everything and that we are but stewards of the possessions that He has provided. Everything we have is His. He provides for our needs through our income and possessions. God’s people in the Old Testament understood this concept and believed that God allowed them to use 90% of their income to meet their needs while 10% or a tithe was returned to God for His purposes. The tithe continues to be used as a guide by many Christians today. Those who feel they aren’t able to give 10% of their income right away may find a practical next step to be to tithe on a portion of their income. Once that goal is achieved, tithe on a larger portion. Once you have experienced the joy of giving, there will be no turning back!

How Can I Give to Salem?

Sunday Offering

An offering is taken at Salem’s services. You may designate your gifts to the General Fund (Operating and Ministry Expenses) or to the Building Fund (Debt Service on our Building Development Expenses). Gifts without a specific designation are allocated to the General Fund as are any loose cash gifts. Our giving should also include our time and talents as we are stewards of our lives, using the gifts and abilities God has given us to bless others.

Online Giving

You may set up one-time or recurring contributions from a checking account or credit card that is linked to your checking account. Online giving is under construction, sorry for the inconvenience.

We encourage you to participate by singing or clapping along. You may also choose to quietly reflect on the words which are projected on our screen.

Discerning the Voice of God - Adult Small Group

How to recognize when God speaks, by Priscilla Shirer. This book takes us through simple but profound and practical scripture based lessons on God’s character, on his desire to speak to us, and how the stories of how God spoke in the bible can teach us ways to prepare ourselves to hear from Him today.

Or as the description says:
In this six-lesson interactive study, Priscilla draws insight from Scripture and provides practical steps for how to know the voice of God. Through print and video messages, participants learn to recognize God’s character, language, and tone of voice as they spend time in His Word and understand the role of the Holy Spirit.
