1 St. John s Evangelical Lutheran Church 1028 Church Street, PO Box 966 Fogelsville, PA The Rev. Nelson Quiñones, Pastor Church Phone: (610) Church stjohns.lutheran@verizon.net February 2019 COMING IN FEBRUARY: February 3: Souper Bowl Sunday February 10: Boy Scout Sunday & Coffee Hour Dear St. John s Members & Friends. I can t believe I am writing this newsletter in January. A whole month has passed by and we are looking at February and onto Valentine s Day. With the beginning of February, the church calendar signals that we are also half way through the Season of Epiphany that started in mid- January. For the Christian Church, Epiphany is God s manifestation of Jesus being revealed to the world. Remember Christmas. The Divine Baby found in a manger. Remember the Magi. Following the brightness of the star where God reveled the Christ to the Magi. Following the brightness of the star where God reveled the Christ Child. In March, we ll celebrate the Transfiguration of Our Lord. All of these events point to a manifestation - a revelation, an insight God has granted people to see. Time seems to pass us by and yet it appears that God s story is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. God s revelation to the world is of A Divine Love that has come to infiltrate every month of our lives to fill us with Divine Love. LOOKING AHEAD 3/6 Ash Wednesday Thanks be to God, The Rev. Nelson Quiñones, Pastor Thank you to everyone who completed a NEWSLETTER QUESTIONNAIRE! If you have already selected your preference, great, if not it is not too late simply let us know if you wish to receive your copy by , pick up in the narthex, or continue through postal mail. You may change your preference at any time. 2
2 OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORSHIP IN FEBRUARY: Sunday, February 3, th Sunday after Epiphany Souper Bowl Sunday The glory of God is often revealed when and where it is least expected. God uses our lips to declare that glory, inexperienced and hesitant though they may be. God uses our love to demonstrate that glory and so urges us to exercise it. God uses Jesus of Nazareth, water and the word, bread and wine, to reveal God s glory where and when God chooses. Take heed, lest the glory of God slip through our midst unnoticed. Sunday, February 10, th Sunday after Epiphany Boy Scout Sunday The fifth Sunday after Epiphany continues to highlight unlikely instruments and circumstances appointed to reveal the glory of the Lord. Who will go for us? queries the voice of the Lord. A man of unclean lips, a former persecutor of the church of God, and three fishermen who couldn t catch a thing. More surprising still, perhaps, is the fact that we are also called. Sunday, February 17, th Sunday after Epiphany Blessings and curses abound on the sixth Sunday after Epiphany. We would do well to listen closely to whom the blessed ares and the woe tos are directed and to find our place in the crowd among those who desire to touch Jesus. The risen Christ stands among us in the mystery of the holy supper with an invitation to live in him and the power to heal us all. 3 Sunday, February 24, th Sunday after Epiphany Mercy. Mercy. Mercy. Joseph lives it in Egypt. Jesus preaches it in the gospel. The Spirit guides us into merciful lives with the power of forgiveness to reconcile what is fractured and divided. Such merciful living is the baptismal blessing of having put on Christ. It is the gift of the life-giving Spirit. It is a reflection of the glory of God revealed in the Christ. REMINDER!!! Church cancellations will be displayed on WFMZ TV (or wfmz.com) on mornings of bad weather. You can also call the church office and listen to the answering machine, it will relay cancellations. Mission Statement We, the members of St. John s Lutheran Church, Fogelsville, desiring to be blessed together with Word and Sacrament and to become more perfectly the Body of Christ in the world, do hereby commit ourselves to a mission which involves: increasingly creative and meaningful worship; developing additional opportunities for Christian Education; intentional witnessing to our congregation and community; Christ-centered social ministries and; promoting a more effective stewardship program which helps people to become better aware of what we have to offer and where we have needs. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but shall have everlasting life. - John 3:16 4
