1 FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH PLANO, ILLINOIS The Anchor VOLUME 25, ISSUE 9 OCTOBER 2011 We have lots of exciting things happening in October. I hope you will join us as we learn, grow and live out the life and mission to which God has called us. On Sunday October 2, we will have our Annual Planning Retreat, from 2 6 p.m. at the parsonage. This retreat is open to all members, but council and committee members are especially encouraged to attend. Join as we plan goals and activities for the coming year. On Friday, October 7, if the sky is clear, I will host a star party in the back yard of the parsonage, 7:30 10 p.m. I will have telescopes out and we should be able to observe the Moon, some star clusters and nebulae. Towards the end of the time, Jupiter and the Andromeda galaxy should be high enough in the East to be observed. Call the parsonage if you have any questions. We will have a Euchre Tournament, along with other games and refreshments on Sunday, October 9, from 3:00?? PM. Come and have a great time. Invite your friends to join you. The Food Resources Bank Harvest Festival will be held Saturday, October 15, beginning with worship at 10:00 a.m. The festival is a wonderful experience and Food Resources Bank is an outstanding Christian response to world hunger. For directions to the farm where the festival will be held, and for more information contact the church office. I have received a summons for jury duty the week of October 17. I won t know until that week how much of my time this will take. If you need to contact me that week, please call the church office and leave a message. I will check in with the office when I am able. Pastor s Corner Sunday, October 23 will also be Stewardship Sunday. Stewardship is a vital part of our Christian life. Stewardship is not just about giving money to the church. Stewardship is about how we respond with our lives to all that God has done for us and given to us. God gives each of us talents, abilities, passions and opportunities. How we use them, guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit that is stewardship. We ask each member to pray and consider how God is calling you to use your talents, abilities and passions to serve the Lord through the ministries of our congregation. While Stewardship is more than just giving money, stewardship certainly does include how we spend our money. We are called to give regularly, in response to what God has done for us and given us. We are called to give in proportion to what we have and what we earn. And we are called to give sacrificially. We thank you for your strong and generous support of our life and mission together. We will have Trunk or Treat with the Methodist and Baptist churches on Sunday, October 30, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. If you haven t come before, I encourage you to come this year. Bring your children or grandchildren in their Halloween costumes. Or bring your vehicle and candy. Decorate your vehicle if you wish. Have a great time! You may have noticed that the storage shed which used to be located just west of the Education wing is now in the corner of the parking lot. We will be building a much bigger storage shed where the old one used to be. Pastor Bruce INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Congratulations!

3 T HE ANCHOR PAGE 3 OCTOBER LIBRARY NEWS This month First Lutheran celebrates its 128th Anniversary. We also observe Reformation Day during October. In honor of these occasions, there are several books to display about out heritage. New to the library is the book, The Ultimate Gift by Rene Gutteridge. You may have seen this as a movie in the theater or on television a few years ago. James Garner and Brian Dennehy were two of the stars in it. It is the story of a young man who, in order to receive his inheritance, had to first complete twelve tests. When he completest he tests, he is not only wealthy, but has found the true meanin gof life. Glory by Lori Copeland was donated by Diane Kupp. This Christian romance takes place in Colorado in the 1800 s. Some of you may like the fact that it is a large-print edition.
