Intellectual Well-being
As you look at the Wholeness Wheel, you can see that they divide the circle up into several aspects of ones
life. The overall concept is that each aspect makes up a part of our whole lifeand that each part is important.
This month, I want to focus upon the intellectual well-being.
The developers of the Wholeness Wheel write about the intellectual well-being part of the wheel:
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Using our minds keeps them alert and active. Stay curious, ask
questions, seek answers. Explore new responsibilities, experience new things and keep an open mind.
And remember, knowing when and how to let your mind rest is as important as keeping it active.
Intellectual well-being is not just how smart you are. This aspect of well-being is not about your I.Q. level;
rather intellectual well-being is about how we use our brains and our intellect in our everyday life. Do you seek
to continue to grow and learn? Either in your job or within your hobbies? Do you keep up with trends and
technology within your profession or within the activities that you engage in?
The key for intellectual well-being is to engage your brain in thought processes and continue to learn. Too
many times, we tend to engage in activities that we are just passive and do not require critical thinking skills.
Studies have shown that engaging in actives where make us think (e.g. crossword puzzles, word & number
games, etc.) help prevent disorders like Alzheimers and keep us mentally sharp.
Strengthening our intellectual well-being can be achieved in many ways: reading books or magazines, exploring the internet about questions we do not know the answers, crossword puzzles, number games, taking things
apart and putting them back together to figure out how
they work. This is not an exhaustive list, for learning
can be just about anything.
As you think about intellectual well-being, some questions to reflect upon are:
How do you continue to learn?
How do you exercise your brain?
How do you let your mind rest?
How can you strengthen your intellectual
well-being?
Is intellectual well-being a strength to your
overall well-being in life?

Upcoming Worship
Below are the lessons and some thoughts about the upcoming Sundays. Please take some

May 3rd:

time to look over the lesson and reflect upon the questions in
preparation of the upcoming weeks in worship.

Text Romans 1:1-17 {Confirmation SundayONE SERVICE9:00 AM}

We gather in worship as 10 young adults will be affirming their baptism through the use of the Rite of Confirmation.
Our lesson is the beginning of Pauls letter to the Church of Rome. This letter was written to the people so that they
would know the basics of the story of Jesus Christ. The next few weeks we will hear more from this letter of Paul.

May 10th:
Text Romans 5:1-11
As Paul teaches about Jesus in this letter, this section he is telling the people about the results of being justified. Paul
states emphatically that since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through Jesus Christ. And that all suffering and hardship produce hope which is about Jesus love being poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.

May 17th:
Text Romans 6:1-14
In this last reading from Pauls letter to the Romans, he proclaims that we are no longer under the power of the law; rather we live under grace. This is because as we have been baptized into his death and thus we will certainly be united
with Jesus in his resurrectiongiving us forgiveness, salvation and eternal life.

May 24th:
TextActs 2:1-4 {Pentecost Sunday}
Today we hear of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. The Spirit comes to dwell with us and empower us in our daily lives so that we can go out and proclaim the mighty acts of God to the world.

May 31st:
TextJohn 3:1-17 {Trinity Sunday}
On Trinity Sunday, Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus presents us with John's language for the triune God: God; the
Son, who is the only begotten one; and the Spirit, of whom the believers are born. This is expansive imagery of God: the
Spirit of God as a womb amplifies the language of God as the Father of the Son.

Use the draft mode when printing documents that

arent final, or when youre printing information
that doesnt have to look professional. Your printers draft mode uses about half the ink it would for
a normal print job.

FAVORITE BIBLE VERSES

Seniors at St. Paul-Borchers have
shared many of their favorite bible verses . This month will begin a series of
short stories about how particular verses have influenced the lives of our elders. Our first Bible Verse story is from
Bertha Otte:
2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV) And that from a child thou hast
known the holy scriptures, which are able to make
thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Jesus Christ.
Bertha (Stockamp) Otte was one of six teens who
were confirmed at St. Paul-Borchers by Rev. Albert
Heideman in 1937. This verse is one of the many
scripture verses Bertha and her fellow confirmands
memorized during Catechism instruction. Bertha can
still quote this verse today. Asked why she remembers it, Bertha states "I remember it because it tells us
how we are to be saved."
Borchers Breakfast Club (BBC) meets every
Thursday from 9:00 to 12:00 for breakfast, activities, and social time. YOU are welcome to join the
group just for breakfast, or for the entire morning.
Leftovers from weekly BBC breakfasts are available
to be delivered to anyone who would appreciate
this effort. If you or someone you know might like
an occasional delivery, please let Joe Hoene or
Trish Tangman know.
Interest in exercising on Thursday mornings has
waned in recent months. In the past, participants
have engaged in gentle chair exercises, yoga for
seniors, and more active walking exercises designed to get those hearts pumping. New ideas are
always welcome! Please pass on exercise ideas
youd like to try to Trish or Mandy. Exercises usually begin immediately after breakfast and end with
plenty of time left to play games and engage in other activities before noon.

MUSCATATUCK NATIONAL
WILDLIFE REFUGE
SENIOR OUTING

presentation, driving tour, and picnic lunch. Significant walking will not be required, but there will be
opportunities available for those who do wish to explore walking paths. Bring your binoculars! Special
visitors, Pastor Bob and Rita Sullivan, will be
joining BBC for breakfast that morning and hope to
accompany our group for the trip to Muscatatuck!
This will be a great opportunity to spend a little time
visiting with the Sullivans AND enjoying the treasures offered at the wildlife refuge. Please sign up at
the Welcome Center so transportation can be arranged. A carpool will leave the church parking lot
around 10 AM, after a hearty BBC breakfast. Those
who wish to remain behind for cards, games, and
visiting are welcome to do so.

HEALTH & WELLNESS CARE:

Should I See a Medical Doctor, a Nurse Practitioner,

or a Physicians Assistant?
from Susie Schnitker
With the rapid changes that are taking place in healthcare across the country, there are two terms that consumers frequently have questions about. These are the Nurse Practitioner (NP) and the Physician Assistant
(PA). There is frequent confusion surrounding what these titles mean and what the scope of practice is by
each of them within healthcare. Both roles have been around since the 1960s, however, they have recently
become rapidly advancing careers needed to fill gaps in healthcare access.
The NP and PA both have advanced degrees. NPs must first have a bachelors degree in nursing and have a
state RN license. NPs then obtain either a masters or doctorate degree from a nursing school. PAs first
achieve a bachelors degree in any area of study and then receive a masters degree with training in a medical-focused curriculum. NPs are trained in a patient-centered model of care meaning that they are taught to
focus on disease prevention and health education. PAs are trained in a disease-centered model of care in
that they focus on the pathologic components of health. Both are trained to examine, diagnosis, and treat.
NPs can work in many different and diverse areas, such as geriatrics, pediatrics, womens health, mid-wifery,
and mental health. PAs typically work in more generalized practice areas but can specialize. NPs generally
work independently with physician oversight and collaboration. PAs cannot work independently of physicians.
Both NPs and PAs can write prescriptions, order diagnostic tests such as x-rays and blood work, and perform procedures such as stitches and biopsys.
NPs and PAs are important roles for future healthcare. The American Association of Medical Colleges predicts that the US will have a shortage of 130,000 physicians in the next ten years. NPs and PAs are needed
to help fill these vital health care roles. In 2012 there were 110,200 NPs and 86,700 PAs practicing in the
US. In the next ten years, NP needs will grow by 34% and PA needs by 38%.
So, which one should I see? When making a decision about whether to see an NP, PA, or MD, most of the
time it should not matter. NPs and PAs are trained to know when something is beyond their ability. They
know when to refer you to a physician or specialist. It is merely a matter of personal preference and who you
feel comfortable with.

Building Fund Update:

We are getting very close to paying off the mortgage on the building.
The box to the side shows an estimate of what we still owe. In order to
make a final push towards paying off the loan amount: lets have a
goal of having a payoff Sunday of May 17th. We will provide weekly
updates in the bulletin. A comment was made at the Quarterly Meeting
that if everyone put in a little toward the building fund, we could have
it paid off quickly. Once the mortgage is paid off, we will have a celebration at a later date to mark this event. If you would like to be a part
of a group of people to plan this celebration, please talk with Pastor

Estimate for Building Payoff:

BORCHERS CHAPEL NEWS

Enjoy the Flower Garden this Spring!
It seems were always rushing to get to the
next event these days, but if you have a
few extra minutes after church (or anytime) you should take a stroll and enjoy the peacefulness of the Native Plant & Flower garden located
at the west end of the chapel. The chapel committee was awarded a grant from The Indiana Native
Plant and Wildflower Society in 2012 and created
the garden to offer members and visitors a place to
set and reflect or just rest their legs. There is a
bench and several plants and flowers to enjoy while
breathing in that good Jackson County air and listening to the birds. Enjoy!

please sign-up on the sheet at the Welcome center.
The average cost of a Ukulele is around $30.00, but
if we get several who would like to learn we can get
them at a reduced cost. This will begin in August
and we will see how it goes! Any questions contact
Carolyn.
