1 Immanuel Messenger Immanuel Lutheran Church 122 East 88 th Street, New York, NY Eighty-eighth Street and Lexington Avenue, Manhattan Rev. Gregory P. Fryer, Pastor (212) , church phone (212) , church fax December 2015 A Word from the Pastor Advent and Christmas Thou hast made summer and winter. Psalm 74:17, KJV Winter too comes from the good hands of our Lord. For many of us here at Immanuel, we especially like winter because of the church seasons now before us: Advent and Christmas. Was it not moving on the First Sunday of Advent when the Stöhrer family Haifan and Hans, Caroline and Maximilian led us in the lighting of the first of our Advent candles? The annual prayer for that candle lighting speaks of sleep: rouse us from sleep. We praise you, O God, with this evergreen crown that marks our days of preparation for Christ s advent. As we light the first candle on this wreath, rouse us from sleep that we may be ready to greet our Lord when he comes with all the saints and angels. Enlighten us with your grace and prepare our hearts to welcome him with joy. Grant this through Christ our Lord whose coming is certain and whose day draws near. Amen. It is not just sleep that tempts us but also preoccupation with many matters, including many noble matters. Yet Advent is here and Christmas soon will be. Let us dive into these holy seasons! Let us enjoy them thoroughly this year. Let us hasten off to church and sing our praises to Immanuel, God with us. In Christ, Pastor Gregory P. Fryer
2 Our Roof and Steeple Project It is finished. Victory! A note from Pastor Fryer Dear Members and Friends of Immanuel, Our Roof and Steeple Project is finished. The scaffolding has all been removed. Maybe I am imagining things, but it seems to me that our church steeple is even more outstanding as if it is higher than before and beckons the world even more warmly to Immanuel Lutheran Church. We have had a pleasant surprise concerning our church windows: When we have an evening liturgy, our church windows now glow out into the evening. Our new light system is so much brighter that the light penetrates the thick glass of our windows so that now the people of our neighborhood can see some of the fun colors in our windows. We had not realized this until recently, when the scaffold was removed. We need to repair the window frames for those church windows, and we mean to do it. But that is a project for next spring. For now, let us enjoy our church building. If you live far away, but could visit Immanuel this Advent or Christmas, I think you will be very pleased. Let me share a paragraph or two from my Thanksgiving Eve sermon a kind of echo from the pulpit: Most recently we stand on the shoulders of our Roof Committee, architects, construction company, and all the workers who braved the heights and did their skillful work putting a new slate roof on our church, putting a new metal roof on our steeple, repairing stonework, re-pointing brick and stone, replacing our lightning rod, replacing our gutters and snow guards and downspouts, and did it all safely! I am grateful to God for their safety! And finally, we stand on the shoulders of this generation of people here at Immanuel, for you kept our church alive during the uncertainties of construction. You contributed to the Roof Fund in addition to your regular tithes and offerings. You worshiped in the undercroft when the nave was off limits because of the work overhead. You worshiped when it was bitter cold and our boiler had died. You worshiped and hung in there during this past year of deliberations about the ELCA and the NALC. In my opinion, we have been through a lot during the past few years, and by God s grace, we are still standing, and, I hope, eager for going forward. I am! I am grateful for our past and eager to go forward. In Christ, Pastor Fryer 2
3 Dear Immanuel Friends: A Great Big Thank You! (A note from Parish Secretary Karen Rombey) What an extraordinary day for me! -- I m still floating on air! The calendar pages are turning and although Thanksgiving now is past, my thanks goes out to each and every one of you for making Sunday, November 15, so special for me. Twenty-five years -- a quarter of a century -- has come and gone in what to me seems like the blink of an eye! How could it seem to go so fast you might wonder. Well, when you love what you do and the people who surround you, time certainly does have its way of flying! Thank you all for my wonderful twenty-five year celebration. First, for Pastor Fryer s kind words and prayer when he called me up to the chancel during the morning liturgy, and then for our visiting Pastor, Rev. Dr. J. Elise Brown s kind words for me down in the undercroft. For those of you that couldn t be with us that Sunday, our undercroft was turned into a winter wonderland! Everything was themed around three of my favorite things - snow, Olaf (the snowman who loves summer and warm hugs from the Disney movie, Frozen ) and all things Disney! And what an amazing gift you all gave me - a future Disney cruise on The Big Red Boat! I m still on Cloud Nine! For me it was truly an extraordinary day. And, dear friends, before we know it, yet another extraordinary day will be upon us -- the birth of our Lord Jesus. May each and every one of you have a Blessed Advent and Christmas and a Joyous New Year. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Our children s service is always a highlight of the Immanuel holidays - don t miss it! Looking Ahead: Our Second Vote Transfiguration Sunday, February 7, 2016 A Note from Pastor Fryer We have not chosen a snow date for our important second vote on the ELCA/NALC. We are counting on Transfiguration Sunday, February 7. So let it be with us as it is with the mailpersons: Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. If possible let nothing stay us from worshiping and voting on Transfiguration Sunday. To review, at a Special Voters Assembly on November 8, 2015, by near unanimous show of hands, the Voters Assembly approved the following motion: 1- RESOLVED that there will be a special meeting of the voter s assembly in no less than 90 days and no more than 120 days to vote upon joining the NALC and disaffiliating from the ELCA. (Continued, next page) 5
6 2- FURTHER RESOLVED that the vote of the voter s assembly will [be] decided by a simple majority vote, and will specifically direct the church council to promptly take all actions necessary to carry out the vote. Congregation President Thomas Wicks has encouraged us to use these intervening ninety days for prayer and deliberation. End. 6
