1 DECEMBER NEWSLETTER 2010 Ebenezer Lutheran Church Port Hudson The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod 9100 Highway YY Leslie, Missouri Parsonage Church Rev. William F. Zastrow, Pastor Mary Sprick, Secretary ebenezerlutheranchurch.wordpress.com

2 From the Pastor s Desk: You are Ready for Jesus Jesus told them this parable: Look at the fig tree and all the trees. When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Luke 21:29-31 Well, it's getting to be that crazy time of the year again, isn't it? No, our trees aren't sprouting leaves and getting ready for summer; our trees have "sprouted" lights and are glistening with ornaments. Are you ready? I guess we could ask, "Does it matter if you're ready?" Finally, I suppose the answer would be "No, it doesn't matter if I'm ready for Christmas, because Christmas is coming whether I'm ready or not." And so it is with Jesus' return to this world. He's coming back, whether I'm ready or not. BUT! It's vital that I be ready, for when Jesus returns, he'll be sending people to where they will spend eternity, either in heaven or in hell. Wow! Sounds like this is something for which I need to be ready! And thank God, you are ready. Why so? Because you know that Jesus came the first time. You know that Jesus came as a baby, wrapped in cloths, lying in a manger. THE

3 King came near to us, entering our world, in order to win salvation for us. He became a real human so that he could win a real salvation for real humans like you and me. And because God has convinced you that it's true, you can rest assured; you're ready for Jesus' second coming! So as you look at those trees, twinkling with lights and glistening with ornaments, lift up your heads! Know that the King came to us once, and know that his eternal kingdom is near! And know that through Jesus... you're ready! Prayer: Lord Jesus, lift my eyes to the skies, that I might eagerly await your second coming. Use my celebration of your first coming to bring me excitement and confidence about your return. Amen. Season of Advent Our Lord s THREE ARRIVALS.refer to His birth, His coming to us today, and His return at the end of time. Jesus comes long ago in poverty. About 2000 years ago a son was born into this world to homeless parents in an old, historic town called Bethlehem, in an occupied territory called Judah. Only the boy s

4 family knew then that Jesus was God s gift His Son, who was destined to die as the Lamb of God, our Savior. today in hope. Today our Savior, Jesus, comes to our world in humble shape, too in fellow believers, in the Word of the Lord we hear preached, and in the bread and wine of His Supper. He acts in and through us to influence our world for good. tomorrow in power. One day Jesus will return to live among His people, no longer in our poverty or humble appearance, but sharing with us the strength and beauty and goodness of our God for all eternity. April Mission Team is forming Praise God! There are now 8 people planning to go to Nicaragua April 1 9 on the water sanitation mission trip and several others have expressed interest. There is still time to complete an application. A larger team would allow us to assemble more water filters. The 35 filters installed to date are working so the challenge now is to provide as many as possible. The families in LaJoya will be grateful. If you are interested in more information, call the church office at Immanuel Please continue to keep this project in your prayers. On behalf of the Circuit Mission Team Dan and Kathy Walther

Everything has a time when something happens. This Advent season has many things happening all at special times. Please join us in the Advent midweek services as we prepare for the special time of Christmas. In these sermons and worships we grow in the knowledge of Christ that God sent His son to enter our time and place so that we will live with Him forever in timeless peace.

7 Signs to Display for Advent Advent Wreaths The usual circle of candles represents our hope in the Light of the World, whom the powers of Darkness cannot overcome. Lighting a new Advent candle each week marks our Advent journey to the Christ Child. Advent Calendars Count the days of Advent in December until Christmas. Opening the windows of an Advent calendar daily reminds young and old where our eternal hope lies with the holy Child in a lowly manger. Advent Colors Purple is the ancient color of royalty (rather than penitence), signaling the coming of our King. The more recent use of blue among Protestants symbolizes the hope of God s people who trust in their unfailing Lord and King. The Angel Gabriel announced to Zechariah, Mary and to Joseph that they would experience the miraculous birth of a child, Jesus would be God with us and He would save His people from their sin (Luke 1:8-38). A Crown symbolizes the King of Glory, Jesus Christ, who left His position in glory to enter our world humbly and who will come again in glory to judge the world. Emmanuel or Immanuel is Hebrew for God is with us. Isaiah the prophet promised that the Lord would come to be

8 with His people. As a sign of His promise the son in Isaiah 7:14 was called God is with us.

Epiphany marked the showing off of the baby Jesus to the magi foreign visitors who represent all of us from other nations who worship Jesus. In the Western Church, December 25 was chosen as the birthday date for Jesus as an alternative for the secular holiday declared by the Roman emperor for that day. This Christian festival day Christmas gradually became more important than Epiphany. Christians today try to reclaim Christmas from the commercial world which has worked very successfully to turn it into a secular holiday, Xmas. Xmas means hectic activity; Christmas

13 means time-out and quiet moments. Xmas may mean the dreaded burden of high expectations that are seldom met; Christmas means setting our hearts at peace and fulfilling our inmost longings. The twelve days of Christmas from December 25 through January 5 are our opportunity to celebrate God s greatest gift to us and the hope that he brings in a world troubled by unrest, hunger and darkness. December 26 is the festival of St. Stephen, deacon and first martyr (Acts 7). December 27 is the festival of St. John, the apostle and Gospel writer. December 28 is the day of the Holy Innocents, that is, the children of Bethlehem killed by Herod s soldiers who searched for the baby Jesus. On January 1 st we celebrate the Name of Jesus. The days of Christmas end on January 5, the 12 th night on the eve of Epiphany.
