3 Body, Mind, Spirit, Voice It takes the WHOLE person to Sing and Rejoice! Our new choir year will soon be upon us. As you plan your fall schedule, be sure to include singing in one of our choirs.

For questions on how you can find your place in the choral program at St. James Lutheran Church, please contact Timothy Braband at ext ============================ Baptistry Glass Panels by Geoff Thulin My intent behind the designs etched on the baptistry glass panels is to create a subtle, yet graceful and engaging backdrop to the baptismal font. Seen from the worship area, the panels help focus attention on the baptistry. Viewed from the hallway, the glass designs welcome one into the worship area and what is happening behind the glass. The sun and the rain echo the Creation window to the right. I have combined them, as light and water work together to create and sustain life. These natural elements also connect to Matthew 3:11, where John says, I will baptize you with water, but Jesus Christ will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. In verse 16, when John baptizes Jesus, the Holy Spirit descends as a dove. The dove also recalls Genesis 8:10-11, where Noah sends forth a dove and it returns with an olive leaf. The repeating wave pattern ties the panels together and punctuates water as the encompassing theme of the baptistry. A very special thank you to graphic designer, Gina Dwyer for translating my drawings into usable computer designs, and to Rowland Glass Studios for making the stencils and sandblasting the glass. - 3

8 GOD ON THE GROUND PRAISE FEST On SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, St. James is partnering with ten other churches in the community to sponsor God on the Ground Praise Fest from 3:30-6:30 pm at the Gettysburg Rec Park Amphitheater. This FREE event will include four different Christian bands, children s activities, hamburgers, hot dogs and more. There will be messages in English and Spanish and also opportunities for sharing prayer requests.

Bring a chair or a blanket and join us for some or part of this community event of fellowship and fun! We need volunteers who are willing to be greeters, help with providing desserts, and help with children s activities, crafts and face painting. If you are willing to volunteer, please talk to Pr.

She will be a valuable addition to the C.A.R.E.S. staff. C.A.R.E.S. opens on Thursday, October 4 th. They are anticipating an increase in the homeless seeking shelter.

Ray Hopkins can answer your questions about volunteering as a host at St. James. All other questions about Gettysburg C.A.R.E.S. can be directed to Mary Stevenson or to Pr. Mike. MONDAY NIGHT STUDY will begin meeting on OCTOBER 1 at 7:15 pm at the home of Fritz and Faith Foltz, 38 East Broadway, Gettysburg. We ll discuss the book, Faith, Hope, and Love in the Technological Society by Franz and Frederick Foltz. Please the Foltzes if you plan on attending at fritzafoltz@gmail.com. They examine how modern technology creates an environment that significantly affects Christianity by reducing the mysteries of faith to manageable techniques. The body of their work analyzes the effects of technology on the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love, the triad that believers have used for a common narrative to understand and express their thoughts and experiences. They begin by looking at how recent developments have brought us into a post-truth era by removing words from their context in nature, time, place, and community. Popular theologies such as the power of positive thinking, the laws of creation, the plan for salvation, and the prosperity gospel reflect this change by gearing all for efficiently getting what we want and ignoring tradition. The authors then examine each of the virtues separately, finding that faith has become a risk management tool that depends on confidence in systems rather than personal relationships, hope is defined as the expectation that our present desires shall be granted rather than a vision of the future, and love has become an intimacy that provides escape from the real world and community rather than a self-denying care for them. Finally, the authors take a look at some appropriate responses. Franz and Frederick Foltz are a son and father team that have been writing on religion and technology for over fifteen years. Franz is an associate professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology where he holds a joint appointment in the Departments of Science, Technology, and Society and Public Policy. Fritz is pastor emeritus at St. James, where he served in an experimental co-pastorate with the Rev. E. Edward Keyser for thirty-five years
