Dear sisters and brothers in

Christ,

Well, here I thought I could maybe

come up with something kind of

“catchy” for this lead article in the

first newsletter of the year. My hope

was to use the year 2017 and find a

Bible verse using those numbers that I

could commend to you as being a

good theme verse for this new year of

your life and mine. To do so would

really help to make the verse stick and

easy to remember and carry with you

all through the year. So I looked up

every verse in the bible that uses the

number 2017 as in chapter 20 verse

17 (20:17).

I looked at Genesis 20:17,

and while it is a great verse

about Abraham praying to

God for healing for his

friend Abimelech and his

wife so they could have chil-

dren again…I didn’t see that

as serving us as a theme

verse for 2017. Exodus

20:17 is what we commonly

know as the 9th and 10th

Commandments. Leviticus 20:17 is

part of a chapter devoted mostly to

issues involving the 6th Command-

ment. Numbers 20:17 is the request

of Moses and the Israelites to be al-

lowed to pass through the country of

Edom on their way to the Promised

Land. Deuteronomy 20:17 are orders

from God to the Israelites to be sure

to destroy certain nations so as not to

adopt their detestable practices. All

good verses, but not really what I was

looking for by way of a verse that

could serve as a verse for us to live

by.

My search continued. Not every book

in the Bible has 20 chapters. Nor do

all of the chapter 20’s that are in the

Bible have 17 verses. So, in essence

there were only about 20 “chapter 20

verse 17’s” to choose from. To make

a long story short, I did not find a

Chapter 20 verse 17 verse that I felt

would make a good theme for our in-

dividual lives as disciples of Jesus for

the year of our Lord 2017.

So, where does that leave us? As I

pondered that question, a verse came

to mind (and obviously it doesn’t

have a ‘20’ or a ‘17’ in it) which

would serve as a great theme verse for

us for this year. It speaks to our need

for guidance as we enter a new year.

It speaks to our need to be in God’s

Word throughout the new year. It

speaks to our need to be

ever growing in our faith in

Jesus and in living out that

faith as His disciples. It

speaks of our need to be in

worship to hear and receive

the Word. It speaks to our

need to be in Bible study to

know the Word.

Here’s the verse. It is verse

105 of Psalm 119: “Your

Word is a lamp to my feet

and a light for my path.”

Might this be a good verse for you for

2017? Just to encourage you as you

consider that possibility, here’s one

more thought to share. Since Jesus is

“the Word made flesh” (John 1:14),

put “Jesus” into the verse from Psalm

119 in place of “Your Word.” Then it

reads something like this: “Jesus is a

lamp to my feet and a light for my

path.” It almost becomes an invita-

tion then – “Jesus, walk with me

throughout this year.” Better yet, to

read it that way gives us the blessed

assurance that He will do exactly that!

In Christ, Pastor Dave

I invite you to come to the next new member class! We

will use the bible Study Book: I Have Good News for

You.

Some of the questions discussed in this course are:

How can we know there is a God?

What did Christ really accomplish?

How can you know for sure whether you are con-

verted?

Will you stay in your Christian faith?

Can anyone be saved without being baptized?

Who should not eat and drink at the Lord’s Table?

What will heaven be like?

If you are considering membership here at

Trinity and you have not been confirmed in the

Lutheran Church this is the “Adult Confirmation Class”

required for membership. Members are also invited to

take the class as a confirmation refresher.

If you are transferring here from another

Lutheran church I encourage you to take the class

because Bible study is always an opportunity to learn

and it helps me to get to know you so that I may assist

you in becoming an active member.

For those that finish this nine-week class and

want to pursue membership here at Trinity there is three

-week Spiritual Gift discovery process and then a new

member reception on Sunday April 9th, 2017.

The first class is Sunday, January 22nd at

9:15am in the Large classroom. If you have children

between the ages of 3 years to High School they can be

in their Sunday School class at the same time. Also, if

you have need for the nursey from younger children it

too will be available.

Thirty eight years ago I was invited to a new

member class just like this one. When I look back on

that class I can honestly say it was a pivotal point in my

spiritual life. God continues to work through the mes-

sage of forgiveness of sins in Christ today? I look

forward to this class and my prayer is that you will take

the opportunity to join me. There is no cost or

pre-registration necessary, just come on Sunday,

January 22nd. The coffee pot will be on and I hope to

see you in class.

DCO Craig Cooper

This annual community outreach provides overnight shelter and meals for the homeless. In addition to providing overnight shelter in our Fellowship Hall for 25-35 people each night, we will be preparing and serv-ing a community meal for 100 people at Place of Hope every night at 5:00pm. Many volunteers are need-ed; to drive the bus, prepare & serve meals and snacks. Some of the meals are prepared by groups but individu-als are also needed. Host/hostesses are needed to serve 5 hour shifts for overnight supervision/security. This is a labor of love as our “Social Minis-try” fund will be used to purchase all the food. If you would like to donate

to that fund, checks can be made pay-able to “Trinity Lutheran Church” and in the memo please note: “Social Ministry.” On January 29th we will receive a door offering after both ser-vices for Church of the Week.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me some-thing to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ - Matthew 25:35-36 Sign up on the poster in the narthex. See the Church of the Week Job De-scriptions hand-outs for all the details and contact Craig Cooper, 252-3670, with any questions.

Calling All Singers Over 55 Years of Age

The Good Shepherd Community has been selected to participate in the Growing Art-FULL program. This pro-

gram is part of Aroha Philanthropies’ national research on the impact of quality arts programming for those over

55 and is administered through the Paramount Center for the Arts.

Good Shepherd has room for up to 60 participants in the choir. The choir will meet for 10 weeks beginning Janu-

ary 11th. You will learn more than a few songs as you gather each week to sing, play instruments and learn

about the art of good breathing – the key to good singing. Don’t worry if you feel you aren’t a good singer or

your voice may have changed. Anybody can learn to sing and they can do it regardless of

age. Desire, practice and good coaching are what it takes to become a good singer. Teaching

artists, Marcelyn Smale and Garrett Lathe bring a lifetime of success leading all kinds of

singers.

If you are interested in participating in the choir, please call Darcy Ruesink at 320-259-3466.

The choir sessions will be held on Wednesdays from 3:30 – 5:00 pm in the Shepherd Oak

Dining Room, 310 13th Street N, Sauk Rapids. We hope you will join us.

Sunday Morning Bible Classes

Beginning January 8th @ 9:15 a.m., two new Bible classes will begin at church:

Luther: The Man, the Moment, the Movement

2017 is the 500th anniversary year of the Reformation, which is good reason to recall and cele-

brate the enormous impact Martin Luther had on the growth and development of Christianity in the

modern world. Using video and discussion presentation led by Pastor Paul in the fellowship hall, this

class will attempt to understand better the spiritual changes that took place in Luther himself, which

then led to social as well as religious changes that have become our heritage. This study will cover ap-

proximately 10 sessions.

(If you would like to learn more about Luther and the Reformation, consider joining the tour bus

to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts' Luther Exhibit on Thursday, January 12th, sponsored by Good

Shepherd Community. This is a unique exhibit of Luther artifacts, many of which have never been out-

side of Germany. Pastor Paul and Pastor Don Wilke from Good Shepherd will lead the tour. Cost is

$60 and includes transportation, parking, entrance fee, and lunch at Black Forest Inn in Minneapolis.

Brochures are available at church, or call Jeanette at Good Shepherd: (320)252-6525)

How to Grow a Connected Family

This 6 week Bible study led by Pastor Dave will focus on helping parents to purposefully raise

children who know, love, and serve God. The class will be held in the Care Ministry room.

Beginning Sunday, January 22nd at 9:15 a.m., DCO Craig will begin another Adult Membership

Class in the large classroom. See his article in this newsletter for more information.

Worship and Music Notes

Jesus! Name of Wondrous Love The “festival” half of the Church Year is underway. We have begun Series A on our 3-year liturgical series and a majority of our Gospel Readings come from Matthew’s Gospel. At the start of 2017, New Year’s Day falls on a Sunday. January 1st is the “octave” of Christmas (Octava Domini) Eight days after Jesus’ birth, He was taken to the temple in accordance with Levitical Law for His naming and fulfilment of ritual ceremonies, including circumci-sion. Thus, the name for this Sunday is “The Circumcision and Name of Jesus”. It is humbling to think that our Lord already sacrificed His blood as an infant as He started His earthly journey clothed in humanity (and humility) on His pathway to the cross.

Jesus! Name of Wondrous Love (LSB 900) At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow:

Jesus! Name of wondrous love, Name all other names above,

Unto which must ev'ry knee Bow in deep humility.

The angel Gabriel tells Mary the name of her child: Jesus! Name decreed of old, To the maiden mother told,

Kneeling in her lowly cell, By the angel Gabriel.

The meaning of the name gives assurance of the for-

giveness of sins:

Jesus! Name of priceless worth To the fallen sons of

earth,

For the promise that it gave, "Jesus shall His people

save."

Jesus experiences the first shedding of blood in circumci-

sion:

Jesus! Name of mercy mild, Given to the holy Child

When the cup of human woe First He tasted here below.

Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave

Him the name that is above every name:

Jesus! Only name that's giv'n Under all the mighty

heav'n

Whereby those to sin enslaved, Burst their fetters and

are saved.

I place my trust in You alone:

Jesus! Name of wondrous love, Human name of God

above;

Pleading only this, we flee, Helpless, 0 our God, to Thee.

“You are to give Him the name JESUS, because He will

save His people from their sins” Mt 1:21

May the name of Jesus bless you and go with you this

year! Daniel Reineke, Traditional Music Director (320)656-0963 [email protected]

What is "Prayer Shawl Ministry?

"If you step into the Fellowship Hall and take a peek around the corner, you will see a small cabinet displaying a number of "prayer shawls." Shawls of many colors.

These have been created by a small group of people from

Trinity that meet on Tuesday mornings, after Bible study, from

11:30-1:00. With fellowship, and prayer, these shawls we like

to call ...... "Wrapped in His Love”...........are freely given to

members requesting a warm, comforting shawl for a member

of their family facing surgery, or grief, or any illness, or other

reasons. They are prayed for by the group as they are being

made and we wish them to go to whomever needs them. To

REQUEST one of the shawls, you may call the office and

share your request with Judy and she will then get in touch

with one of the group to prepare your gift of giving. We include

an attached small cross on the shawl, and a card, and they

can be gift-wrapped if you would like. They are always donat-

ed freely. If you are in quick need, you may also request Judy

in the office, or Craig Cooper to get one for you at the church.

You may choose your color. We hope they can be made avail-

able as much as we can keep up making them. If anyone is

interested, you are indeed invited to knit or crochet shawls with

the group, or at home if that suits you better, and donate to this

ministry.

A prayer shawl is a centuries-old idea; even Jesus wore a

prayer shawl. They are originally Jewish, with the name "tallit."

In churches today, we knit and crochet these prayer shawls for

comfort and healing. A prayer sample that might be included

with a shawl reads:

This prayer shawl was made especially for you. Each

time you wrap it around you, may it's

warmth fill you with hope, joy, and love as can

only be revealed to you from our Lord and Savior

from above.

There are numerous examples of the meaningfulness of these

shawls: A nurse - "I had lost four babies before birth. I was

given a prayer shawl before my baby was now born; the pray-

er shawl has been as important to me as holding my newborn."

A hospital patient - "Oh, thank you so much! My husband had

been given a prayer shawl when he was ill, and it was so

meaningful to him. Thank you that now I have one." The min-

istries' message of caring is simple and universal. The crea-

tion and presentation of a Prayer Shawl enriches both the giver

and the recipient. Beautiful colors and softness symbolize

shelter, warmth, peace, and spiritual sustenance.

+++++ It is a simple blessing to show God's love. +++++
