2 BISHOP S ARTICLE I WAS A STRANGER October 31, 2016 by Bishop Elizabeth Eaton I was a stranger and you welcomed me (Matthew 25:35). Today there are more than 60 million displaced people in the world, more than at any time since World War II. From Syria, South Sudan, Central African Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Somalia, Afghanistan and Colombia, people are fleeing for their lives from war, famine, gang violence, crushing poverty, drought and floods. Parents make the wrenching choice to send their children away with the hope that the possibility of a better life in a new country outweighs the violence of their home countries and the perils of the journey. It seems the whole world is on the move. Migration has been part of the story of the people of God from the beginning. Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden, and God sent Abram and Sarai from their homeland to a new land. Joseph s brothers and father were refugees in Egypt. Israel wandered in the wilderness for 40 years after God liberated them from oppression and infanticide. The people of God suffered bitter exile in Babylon after they were forced from Judah by war and ethnic cleansing. The memory of migration, forced exile, of being the stranger stayed with the people of God through the centuries and became part of their confession of faith: you shall make this response before the Lord your God: A wandering Aramean was my ancestor; he went down into Egypt and lived there as an alien (Deuteronomy 26:5). The experience of God s people compelled Israel to give special care to the stranger. When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God (Leviticus 19:33-34). Jesus also experienced forced migration. We read in Matthew 2:13-15 that the holy family fled for their lives from Israel into Egypt. And during the years of his earthly ministry Jesus had no permanent home. And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head (Matthew 8:20). Our Lord not only commended us to welcome the stranger, Jesus made it clear that when we welcome the stranger we welcome him. Lately in our country there is a lot of anxiety about migrants and strangers. They are too often portrayed as a threat. They are the others. They need to be monitored. They don t belong here. This is our home. This is our country. We belong here. When we look at the world in this way it isn t possible to see that we, too, are on a journey; we, too, were once no people; we, too, are only passing through. The author of Hebrews recounting the history of salvation makes this clear when speaking about our ancestors in faith: All these died in faith without having received the promises, but from a distance they saw and greeted them. They confessed that they were strangers and foreigners on the earth, for people who speak in this way make it clear they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of the land that they left behind, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one (Hebrews 11:13-16).
3 PASTORS ARTICLE He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8 Micah 6:8 was the Old Testament lesson from the Fourth Sunday after Epiphany. The season of Epiphany is a season of revelations or epiphanies revealing who Jesus is. The season began with the Wiseman bringing gifts to the new born king and paying homage to the Christ child. The next Sunday we heard the declaration that Jesus is God s beloved and through Jesus we are also called beloved and we are encouraged to listen to Jesus. Then we heard about Jesus call to his disciples to follow him. The last Sunday in January, Jesus gave his inaugural address of his ministry, the beatitudes, where we learned about the blessed. In the weeks to come throughout February, in this season of Epiphany, we will continue in Matthew 5 where we will hear about how we are salt of the earth and are told to let our light shine. We will hear how we are to forgive others and Jesus even lays out a way to do this. Jesus will challenge us the following week to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. The season of Epiphany will end with Jesus transfiguration on a mountain where when coming down from the mountain, Jesus prepares for his road to Jerusalem and the cross. Epiphany leads us into the season of Lent. However, as we close out the season of Epiphany, Jesus will first continue to teach us many ways from the Gospel of Matthew, what it means to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God. These ways that Jesus declares are not always easy to follow and many times they are counter intuitive to the way we view the world. The justice Jesus preaches is to help those who are the meek, mourning, lost, and the least. It is these he calls blessed. Jesus continues to teach us and then ultimately shows us what true forgiveness and true love looks like and tells us to do likewise. It is within this season of Epiphany that we have been hearing a lot from our new Advocacy Ministry at Advent. This group is gathering together to grow in their discipleship of living out what Micah 6:8 declares and Jesus proclaims. How do we do justice together and for others? How do we love kindness and live it out in this world? How do we continue to walk humbly with our God? Through this new ministry at Advent, we explore these themes of justice, kindness, and humility as we seek to fulfil our call to be the voice for those in need. Each month, we gather together with a meal, we hear from a local speaker on how we can advocate for those in need, and we have open conversations on how we can as Christians, be advocates for justice in this world. If you have never been a part of this group, we encourage you to come to the meeting on February 28 th at noon. If you cannot attend these meetings in person, we encourage you to join us on Facebook. You can contact Mary Filpus-Luyckz or Amy Smith on how you can join the Facebook group, they would love to talk to you more about the Advocacy ministry. If you just are not sure if this ministry is for you, we encourage you to pray the following prayer from our Lutheran Book of Worship (Green Hymnal) as we struggle together in this world to be the hands and feet of Christ. Grant, O God, that your holy and life-giving Spirit may move every human heart, that the barriers which divide us may crumble, suspicions disappear, and hatreds cease, and that, with our divisions healed, we might live in justice and peace; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen In Christ s Love, Pastor Jason and Pastor Andrea

5 Tag It or Bag It We are in the process of doing a church inventory. Our goal is to clean out and reorganize/redistribute storage areas and church property to make life easier for everyone. We re asking church organizations and organizations using the church, during the month of February, please tag or bag your material stored within the building. If you have something stored anywhere please tag it with: Organization name and contact person. If you have something in storage you don t want to keep please bag it and leave by the back door with a label to trash it and we ll see it gets in the dumpster. In March we will begin cleaning out and reorganizing all church property and storage areas. As this process happens things not tagged/identified as necessary for a church related activity will be thrown away. When finished we will take pictures of all church areas/property and include a written descriptions of what goes where. The inventory will be stored in the church office and be available as necessary. Thanks for your help. Fellowship Ministry
