Article on Three Things Jesus Would Be For Halloween This Year

Serving in October

October Calendar

Christ died for our sins, was buried, and

rose again. If you believe this gospel, if you stand

upon it, and cling to it, you are saved. Trust in this

is the dividing line. It defines, either positively or

negatively, all men. It separates and divides Cain

from Abel, Job from his so-called friends, Abra-

ham from Abimelech, Isaac from Ishmael, Jacob

from Esau, David from Saul, Daniel from Belshaz-

zar, Joseph from Herod, Lazarus from the rich

man, and the tax collector from the Pharisee. What

defines men is not whether they are good or bad,

but whether or not they believe in Jesus Christ for

the forgiveness of sins.

The problem with man is his heart. Our

hearts are fallen and predisposed to think that we

can impress God. We think that if we do all the

right things God will rewards us, and we will es-

cape evil. We think that God will be impressed

with our gifts, that our prosperity and goodness is

evidence that God loves us or that it should moti-

vate God to love us.

But we know better because God has

blessed us with the faith of Abel, Job, and Abra-

ham. We know that God's grace in Christ saves us,

not our works.

We know that God is not impressed with

our giving. He is not impressed when we give him

that which is already his. God doesn’t benefit from

our giving and He doesn’t need it. But our

neighbor does need it. And God delights in us

growing more and more like Him. He blesses us,

and He invites us to bless one another with our

giving: so that the Gospel may be proclaimed, so

that the poor may be fed, so that all God's work

through the Church may be done.

So consider God's priorities in comparison

to your own. And be honest. Reevaluate where you

are and where God has called you to be. Have you

been generous with your time, talents, and treas-

ures for the furtherance of the sweet Gospel that

God has given you? Indeed, much of what we

have is wasted on frivolous things. But would he

find great percentages of your efforts going to the

church? Figure up the percentage. Put it in relation

to the proportion of your work, your abilities, and

your income. What do you give for the mission of

the church: the preaching and teaching, the baptiz-

ing and communing, the help for the weak and

poor brothers of Christ? Is it even enough for a

deduction when you file your income taxes? Is it

enough actions that others will know you are a

Christian by your love? The widow gave all she

had and thought nothing of it. She was glad to do

it. The rich man gave what to him was meaning-

less, trifle amount and desired a plaque in his

honor. Why is it that the less we give the prouder

we are and the more credit we expect?

All your works: on your own; at your

workplace; in your home; in your community; in

your church… even your monetary gifts, are they

done in faith to please God now for Christ's sake?

No matter how great or small, frequent or infre-

quent. They are all washed and cleansed by grace

through faith on account of Christ. Whatever you

do from faith in God pleases him for the sake of

the Son. So reevaluate your generosity in the light

of the grace of Christ. Freely you have received,

freely give.

And for the sake of your soul, come to

church and worship. It is pleasing in the sight of

God that He sees you here in His holy House, wor-

shiping and praise Him who has given you every-

thing. I’ll see you here!

1. She encouraged all LWML ladies to take a

moment of prayer at noon like the LWLM

leaders and sisters and share with those you

are with to further the work of Christ’s

church, the work of the LWML as they serve

the Lord with gladness, and sow seeds oaf

God’s word.

2. Do you remember Algebra? What made it so

tough? Those XY&Z’s and all the variables-

kind of like the challengers of our lives-

which could be a medical diagnosis, loss of

the job, moving to a strange place or a friend

letting you down. For all these variables, our

Heavenly Father will be your help.

3. We have our things that are constant in our

lives, and even all the variables-we can be

sure to count on the One who remains con-

stant-our Jesus! He went to the cross to save

us from our sins and to show us God’s great

love. The e-mail closed with a prayer telling

of the Father’s faithfulness how he turns

darkness into light, hate to love and bitter-

ness to joy.

September 15, 2016

prayer. She chose as a Devotion e-mail articles

Rogers.

(Ladies Aid/LWML continued)

to help with the service.

Secretary Cheryl is making the bulletin cov-

ers.

October 8th LWML North Zone Fall Rally at

Trinity Lutheran Church in Ft. Wayne. Theme

“Harvest Time.” The Ingathering is vitamins

collected or cash for them. The two fleece

blankets made by our members before and af-

ter the meeting will be taken to the Rally for

the Hope Ministry. Four members are attend-

ing the Rally which starts at 8:30 a.m. Two

speakers will tell about their recent mission

trip to Guatemala. A monetary offering will

be taken for the medical supplies for the next

mission trip.

October 16th Confirmation at Zion for 3 chil-

dren. Names will be in the Zealant. Cards

and gifts were purchased by President Reese.

Hugs Therapy:

President Reese read what the dictionary says

a hug is: Hold fast, especially in someone’s

arms and stay close. The characteristics

makes one feel good, fights loneliness, slows

aging, has feeling of belonging, safety, secu-

rity, appreciation and happiness among others.

Internet Trivia:

It was about “Earth Day” also read by Presi-

dent Reese. Members were asked true or false

questions. One true fact: It takes 1 million

years for a glass bottle to decompose. A false

fact: It takes 3-4 weeks for a banana peel to

decompose—actually it takes 3-4 days. The

3R’s really refer to Reduce, Reuse and Recy-

cle-not Remove, Refrain and Redistribute.

The Program:

It was presented by President Reese who read

two pages from the Lutheran Journal. It was

entitled “Optimism Enhances Senior’s Lives.”

It told of a woman named Norma, her age was

78 and she attended a meeting at church Fel-

lowship hall. She brought forth cheer as she

beamed greetings to those around her. Before

long her cordiality spread through the group as

others smiled in return. Smiles soften wrin-

kles making the crowd seem younger. She

told about her activities which were going to

interesting places. Another person responded

that she took college courses to keep her mind

busy. Others talked about staying active in

their church and community organizations that

feed and clothe the needy. In turn, she said

even the younger people enjoyed the expertise and

wisdom of the seniors. Try taking up a new skill

like landscape painting, cake decorating, wood-

working, piano or guitar playing to name a few.

One lady said even the hum of the refrigerator

brought back memories of her childhood when

they had no refrigerator-it make her feel peppy.

Members interjected their memories of the “old ice

box” and also about bicycles-usually one to a fam-

ily for all to share. Also how they too walked eve-

rywhere mostly or rode the streetcars or buses. A

good thing for the mind of seniors is doing cross-

word puzzles or jigsaw puzzles. And if a trip is

offered to go with a group to another city to shop

or see a play—just go! The latest now are the

adult coloring books which can reduce stress. Re-

membering famous people like Winston Churchill,

or Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Edison or even

Grandma Moses as examples of achievement. An-

other woman said she teaches a class for children

at church. It keeps her thinking while sharing

God’s teachings and it refreshes her soul. A peppy

lady told the gathering “Years might wrinkle the

skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”

Keep on with the something's to be amazed at, to

think and wonder about. Deep down there is still

that young person of yesteryear who is eager to

participate in God’s good provisions. Even the

Psalmist wrote “They will produce fruit in old

age.” (Psalm 92:14).

President Reese passed out and all read a Reader’s

Digest Reprint entitled “Live every day of your

life as though you expect to live forever.” The

meeting was closed with the Lord’s Prayer.

Fellowship Time:

Apple pie provided by Joan Lane was served by

President Reese.

Submitted by Lois Duffy, (Sec.)

The Wonder Of Aging By Mary Gemme Brunke

It is the old apple trees that are decked with the

loveliest blossoms.

It is the ancient redwoods that rise to

majestic heights.

It is the old violins that produce the richest tones.

It is the aged wine that tastes the sweetest.

It is ancient coins, stamps and furniture

that people seek.

It is the old friends that are loved the best.

Thank God for the blessings of age and the

wisdom, patience and maturity that go with it.

Old is wonderful!

Three Things Jesus Would Be For Halloween This Year

October 29, 2015 by Benjamin L. Corey

It’s almost Halloween, and as we know, Christians have some mixed feelings on this. The other day I wrote that as Christians, we should welcome any opportunity to inject beauty into the world, and Halloween is one of those opportunities. In fact, I think it’s actually a huge opportu-nity the people of Jesus would do well to not ignore. Of course, Halloween always begs the question, “What will you be this year?” That’s a worthwhile question if you ask me. My 13 year old is going as Supergirl, and I’ve been helping her with her costume. Growing up our costumes were often made from whatever you could find around the house. Want to be Super-man? Great- here’s your Underoos t-shirt, and you can use the red bath towel and a safety pin to make your cape. (Please tell me I’m not the only one who can remember Underoos!) I didn’t want my daughter to have to feel silly with a red bath towel for a cape, so we did her cos-tume right. Yet, as I was working on part of her costume I started to wonder: What would Jesus be for Hal-loween? As an actual spiritual practice I often try to consider the Jesus we find in the New Testament, and wonder how he might engage modern culture– culture that in many ways is radically different than the culture he lived in. Pondering this question for a few days led me to three things I think Jesus would be for Halloween this year: 1. Jesus Would Be Welcoming. I remember trick or treating as a kid and being able to safely assume that every house was

(continued on next page)

Will be on October 1st at Home of Kenny/Barb Knuth,

4279 E Lincoln Way – 244-6065 from 4:00 to

8:00 P.M. The Board of Christian Education sponsors

this yearly event and supplies the hotdogs/buns

condiments and hot chocolate.

Please bring along:

Beverage (if you don’t want hot chocolate)

Dish to share (salad or dessert)

Lawn chairs

Family/friends

We will have the event RAIN or SHINE!

Hayrides are available for children.

Dress for the weather!

(Three Things Jesus Would Be For Halloween This Year continued)

welcoming and ready to have you knock on their door. Today? Not so much. One has to look to see if they left the outside light on, one must look for decorations or some other hint that it’s okay to walk up to their house and ring the doorbell; one can no longer assume that you’re automati-cally welcome. Well, that’s not how Jesus would live. Jesus lived a life that was radically welcoming; in fact, he faced near-constant criticism from the religious elite because he even welcomed the people he wasn’t supposed to welcome. If Jesus were to be living in our culture, I think it’s safe to imagine that his house would be the most welcoming house on the entire block. Sure, he’d leave the porch light on, but everyone who had lived in the neighborhood more than a day or two would know that you’re always welcome to drop by Jesus’s house— even if you’re dressed as a ghost or goblin. 2. Jesus Would Be Radically Hospitable. If Jesus lived in your neighborhood, even the people who hadn’t met him yet would have heard about him because he’d have a reputation for radical hospitality. He wouldn’t leave the candy in a bucket on the doorstep, and he wouldn’t be one of those folks who just drop a piece of candy in your bag and softly mumble “have a nice night.” Instead, Jesus would make sure that your en-counter with him– however short– would have you walking away feeling cheerful and good about yourself. Such love is in fact, what hospitality actually means. The word actually comes from the Greek word φιλό, meaning brotherly love, and ξενος, meaning strangers. Thus, Jesus would be the guy on your block ready to love strangers like they were his own brother, and he’d find a way to make them feel loved even in a 15 second encounter on the doorstep. 3. Jesus Would Be Generous. I’ve never heard of anyone more generous than Jesus. He freely set aside his heavenly throne to enter humanity– not to be served, but to do the serving. He ultimately hung on a cross, willingly– a cross that didn’t belong to him. He sets the standard for generosity. If Jesus lived in your neighborhood, we’d see his radical generosity play out in modern ways. At a minimum, I think it’s a safe bet that Jesus wouldn’t be buying a bag of dum dum lollipops and being the single dude who gives every kid just one; Jesus’s house is where all the kids would go because they’d know he gave out full size candy bars. Name brand ones too! We live in a world where we often don’t even know our neighbors, but Halloween is a night they all come to you. I think Jesus would capitalize on this chance to demonstrate generosity to those around him.…

Instead of running from culture and hiding, Jesus was someone who worked within his culture to love others. If he lived in our culture during Halloween? Well, I’m convinced that Jesus would take the opportunity to be welcoming, hospitable, and generous– cause that’s just how Jesus is. Yes, for Halloween my daughter is going to be Supergirl. But me? Well, this year I’m going to try to be Jesus. What about you? What will you be?
