1 THE PARISH PUBLISHER ST. PETER EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH NORWALK, OHIO OCTOBER 2015
2 From Pastor Ann In my first year as a seminary student, I attended a Service of Healing. I had never been to a healing service and only knew of the healings that televangelists did which I thought was ridiculous and fake. But because I was trying to be open to new ways to encounter God, I chose to go forward when they invited us up for the laying on of hands. One of the professors placed his hands on my head and prayed for healing in my life and then anointed my forehead with oil. I m not ashamed to say that I became very teary. I felt the presence of God in a new and powerful way and knew myself loved by my Creator. And I was reminded that we all carry around pain that only God can heal. At my first parish, I offered a Service of Healing, a new service for the members. I did not know what sort of response I would get when I invited them down for the laying on of hands, but to my surprise the entire congregation came forward to be prayed for. Again, there were tears and hearts were deeply moved. I was reminded again that we all carry around pain that only God can heal. We had the service every year thereafter. Because I want you to have the opportunity to experience this encounter with the divine, we will have a Service of Healing at all three weekend services on October During the service, there will be a time when you are invited forward for the laying on of hands and anointing with oil, an ancient practice mentioned in James 5:14 (Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord.) This is an OPTIONAL action. If you do not wish to participate, you can simply remain in the pew and listen to the music and pray in your own way. Please know that the purpose of a healing service is not to ask God for miraculous cures as we might have seen done by televangelists. The purpose is for us to experience the healing and strengthening presence of God in a way different from our other experiences. To have someone lay hands upon you, pray for healing in your life (whatever form that healing takes), and feel the cross traced on your forehead can be a powerful spiritual encounter. May God bless us all with healing and with the sure and certain knowledge that we are loved, forgiven and precious to God. Peace, Pastor Ann 2

7 Bible Instruction/Presentations It is St. Peter s tradition to present Bibles to 3 rd graders as a way to encourage them to read the stories of Scripture. This year, Bible presentations will be made in worship on Reformation Sunday, October 25 th at both services. Those 3 rd graders who wish to receive a Bible should plan to attend an Introduction to the Bible class on Saturday, October 24 th from 9:00-11:00 a.m. Pastor Ann will do an overview of the Bible, teach the kids how to look up a Bible verse, and explain how the Bible was put together. Parents of 3 rd graders should have received a letter with details. Call the office if you did not get a letter. If you have questions, contact Pastor Ann. Luke Bible Study Beginning in Advent, we will be in Year C of the Revised Common Lectionary the list of readings for each weekend. In Year C, most of our gospel readings will come from the Gospel of Luke, a book which contains unique material that does not appear in any other gospel. It seems a great time to learn more about the third evangelist and likely traveling companion of St. Paul and to become better acquainted with his version of the life of Jesus. This 5-week study will begin on Wednesday, October 21 st at 7:00 p.m. and will meet through November 18 th. All are welcome. Bring your Bible and feel free to bring a friend as well. Pastor Ann will lead. 7
