Navajo Lutheran Mission June 2009 Installation: Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard, Rev. Deborah Haffner Hubbard (Rock Point, Arizona) - The first of several videos on the Installation of Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard and Rev. Deborah Haffner Hubbard at the Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Mission (NELM) in Rock Point, Arizona by Bishop Steve Talmage of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Grand Canyon Synod. Bishop Steve Talmage presides over the Installation Service on June 7, 2009 in the Navajo Lutheran Mission House of Prayer Lutheran Church. The Hubbards arrived at the mission in the spring of 2009 after leaving their respective churches in northern Michigan. Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard is the Executive Director. Rev. Deborah Haffner Hubbard, who led a Presbyterian Church in Michigan, is the House of Prayer Pastor. Joining the Bishop and the Hubbards at the front of the church during the installation service were former Mission Pastor Wally Cole and Rev. Jeff Berg of Concordia Lutheran Church in Phoenix, AZ Following the Installation Service, the congregation participates in the the Share the Peace (aka Exchange of Peace). http://www.elca.org/Growing-In-Faith/Worship/Learning-Center/FAQs/Exchange-of-Peace.aspx The congregation then participates in a variety of rituals including the offering, communion, reading the Unending Prayer and The Lord's Prayer. We praise you and join the hosts of heaven in their unending hymn: (In Unison) Holy, holy, holy Lord, Lord God of power and might: Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespassed against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory for ever and ever. Amen Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard, who sings and plays guitar, is planning a series of concerts starting in the fall of 2009 at churches and other venues in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, California. The free fundraising concerts are to raise awareness about mission projects and the new Mission in Reverse model that the mission is operating under since he arrived in the Spring of 2009. While still following the original goals of the mission, Rev. Hubbard is taking a respectful and humble approach to the mission's work in the Navajo community. He believes the purpose of the mission is to minister with the Navajo not for the Navajo. With the century-long horrors of the Christian boarding lasting to mid 1900s still fresh in elders' minds, Hubbard believes we need to practice healing and reconciliation, not judge people whose path to the divine life might be different than ours. The Navajo Lutheran Mission is featured in the November 2009 issue of "The Lutheran" magazine, an ELCA national publication.

Installation of Rev. Dr. Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard and Rev. Deborah Haffner Hubbard at Navajo Lutheran Mission ELCA Grand Canyon Bishop Steve Talmage calls for humble approach in working with tribe Bishop Talmage acknowledges God was at work with Navajo long before missionaries arrived (Rock Point, Arizona) - The fourth video on the Installation of Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard and Rev. Deborah Haffner Hubbard at the Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Mission (NELM) in Rock Point, Arizona by Bishop Steve Talmage of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Grand Canyon Synod. Bishop Talmage installed the Hubbards on Sun., June 7, 2009. In this video, Bishop Steve Talmage talks Navajo medical milestones like Dr. Lori Arviso Alvord, who in 1994 was the first Navajo woman to be board certified in surgery. (See photo collage below) “I believe there is a need to maintain Jesus's spirit of humility in seeking to discover the bridges that can be made and even crossed between the cultures and histories that exist in this place,” Bishop Talmage told those gathered for the Installation Service. “In our less than perfect history of over 50 years of ministry at Rock Point, those who have come from the outside have struggled to be humble, patient and willing to recognize the need to discover how God has already been at work among the people here,” Bishop Talmage said. “Love the stranger, love the neighbor and a friend with an open heart - with the open heart that Jesus has for all of God's children," said Bishop Talmage of the effect of the mission and school on those who do not know Jesus. Bishop Talmage's message of humility and realization that God has long been a part of the Navajo culture even before missionaries resonates with Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard, who became executive director of the Navajo Lutheran Mission in the spring of 2009 and has a been an outspoken advocate for Christian respect for the American Indian culture and traditions. While still following the original goals of the mission, Rev. Hubbard is taking a respectful and humble approach to the mission's work in the Navajo community. He believes the purpose of the mission is to minister “with the Navajo” not “for the Navajo.” With the century-long horrors of the Christian boarding lasting to mid 1900s still fresh in elders' minds, Hubbard believes “we need to practice healing and reconciliation, not judge people whose path to the divine life might be different than ours.” Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard, who sings and plays guitar, is planning a series of concerts starting in the fall of 2009 at churches and other venues in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, California.

Schwartz that sent missionaries to the Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Mission in Rock Point, Arizona in July 2009. Volunteers from several faith traditions and churches painted murals and did other work at the Navajo Lutheran Mission included helped including Hope Lutheran Church of Forest Hills and St. John Lutheran Church in Swissvale. Flute music by Travis Terry http://www.myspace.com/dtravisterry Hope Lutheran Church of Forest Hills 353 Ridge Ave Pittsburgh, PA 15221-4111 1-412-242-4476 (church office) Blog about 2009 NELM trip by volunteers from several Pittsburgh area churches including Hope Lutheran Church of Forest Hills and St. John Lutheran Church in Swissvale: http://scs1249.blogspot.com email the Hope Lutheran Church of Forest Hills near Pittsburgh More about the flute music featured in this video: Travis Terry is a native Flutist of the Pima Nation who is born of the indigenous Gila River Pima Nation in Sacaton, Arizona. On his myspace page, Native flutist Travis Terry says: "I grew up surrounded by ethnic music and instruments of long ago, including the Native flute," Terry said. “As a child I had natural appreciation for music, which contributed to me becoming a self-taught flutist in my adult years. My military service has sent me around the world exposing me to the musical traditions of various cultures." "Ethnic music was a continual interest and drew me closer to this dream of creating music. I have always been grateful to my parents (Irving and Caroline) for supporting my dreams and at the same time continually teaching me and my sisters (Denise and Dawn) the indigenous Pima culture, traditions and language. These values have aided me in blending contemporary culture with this heritage of the 'Desert People.' This conscious blending of cultures is very much reflected in my musical compositions and playing style." "After my military service, I visited Canyon De Chelly where my good fortune led me to meet my lovely wife Cara and settle in Chinle, AZ. Cara and her family taught me the ways and language of the Dine (Navajo) people."
