1 BETHANY LUTHERAN CHURCH The Messenger NOVEMBER 2016 LEMONT IL On Sunday, November 6 we will be celebrating All Saints Sunday when we remember those who have died in the faith. So that you can be on time for worship, don t forget to turn back your clocks on Saturday night. Sunday, November 20 will be our Thanksgiving Service at which we ll celebrate the abundant blessings of God. November 27 will be the First Sunday of Advent. As that is the day of our Annual Meeting and the beginning of a new season, we will not have worship on Saturday, November 26. Confirmation Students at Hindu Temple Three of our Confirmation students and a couple parents had the opportunity to visit the Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago. Our guide gave us an introduction to Hinduism and then a tour of the temple area. We observed a priest give a blessing to Hindu believers and the beginning of a celebratory procession. Over the course of the year, Confirmation students put their faith into action as they practice each of the baptismal promises they affirm on Confirmation day. With this visit, like our visit to the Islamic mosque last winter, we are practicing working for peace and justice in all the earth. Learning about our neighbors and fostering relationships is a simple way to work for peace. The opposite is to fear the neighbor and start to view them as other or even an enemy. Building relationships is holy work. Cornerstone of Faith Capital Campaign Update At our Annual Meeting on November 27, there will be a full report on our Capital Campaign progress. In the past month, volunteers have completed projects connected to the installation of the heating and air conditioning system including replacing ceiling tiles in the Community Room, painting, insulating pipes, and organizing the boiler room. The next major project is the installation of heating and air conditioning units for the offices and food pantry. We are awaiting permits from the Village. In October, the Capital Campaign Committee sent letters to friends of Bethany and area businesses seeking their additional support for our facility improvements. Already we have received responses and support! We will give you a full update at our Annual Meeting. Thank you for your continued support of our Cornerstone of Faith Capital Campaign! Visit us at

On October 30, the Sunday School students went door to door trick or treating to collect donations for the Open Pantry. What a great way to raise awareness of the needs of some of our neighbors. Each year, Hope and Friendship supplies all the fixings for a Thanksgiving Dinner to those in need in our community. Please help us fill our neighbor s dinner plate with nonperishable food items including: cans of yams, cranberry sauces, and veggies, Stove Top stuffing mixes, and tin pans and turkey cooking bags.

Among the leaders present were Pope Francis and Lutheran World Federation President Bishop Dr. Munib Younan. The day began with Common Prayer in Lund Cathedral, a service focused on thanksgiving, repentance and a commitment to joint witness. During the services, representatives from both church bodies signed a Declaration of Intent, mutually committing the global Christian organizations to deepened relationship and cooperation in humanitarian response and sustainable development. Festivities continued in Malmo Arena where 10,000 visitors were present to witness this historic day.
