1 St Peder s Evangelical Lutheran Church 4600 E 42nd St. Minneapolis, MN (612) November 2016 Issue 10 The Messenger OPEN HEARTS, OPEN HANDS, OPEN DOORS Offering Our Gifts for Mission As we give thanks this month for God s abundant gifts that bless our lives, you are invited to return your Commitment of Giving card on Ingathering Sunday, November 13. We ll gather our commitments along with the regular offering by bringing them forward during the time of the offering. In response to all God has given us, we offer our gifts that allows us to engage in ministry in our neighborhood and beyond as we share the good news of God s gracious love with open hearts, open hands, and open doors. Our gifts also go beyond this congregation to support the broader mission of the ELCA and its various ministries, such as ELCA World Hunger and raising up new leaders for ministry. THANK YOU for your estimate of giving for your resources empower us to do the work we re called to do in Christ s name! If you do not receive a Commitment of Giving card for 2017 in the mail, you may pick one up on the table in the narthex, or call the church office to have one sent to you. We encourage members to automate their giving through our Simply Giving e-giving program. To make it even more convenient, St. Peder's members now have the option to give directly from their phone using the Give+ app (available from the app store) so you can log in more quickly and easily than you can online by using your phone's PIN or touch ID. In addition, it is now possible to give with your credit or debit card. Members can also visit us online at [ locate the DONATE button and set up your recurring giving schedule. The first time you give, you will select a password that will enable you to log in at any time and make changes to your giving or view your complete online giving history. Contact the church office if you have any questions, or would rather setup giving via a paper authorization form.

2 Annual Ableskive Breakfast November 13 Join the festivities in the Fellowship Hall after worship on Sunday, November 13, for St Peder s annual Ableskive Breakfast. Everyone is invited to leisurely enjoy the delicious breakfast and time at the table with friends and family! This event is supported by a free-will offering (the baskets will be passed as you dine) - and the work of many volunteers. THANKS to Lisa Jensen and Sue Nielsen for coordinating this event and to all who help uphold this long-standing tradition in our congregation! If you haven t yet had an opportunity to volunteer, talk with Sue Nielsen or Pastor Julie. GATHER BIBLE STUDY OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT The annual congregational meeting to vote on the proposed budget for 2017 will be on Sunday, November 20 at 10:30 a.m. All confirmed members are voting members and are invited to attend. NOVEMBER 15TH 9:30 11 AM CHURCH LIBRARY When God chooses the Unlikely, Paul and the Power of Failure. These unbelievable words are the title for our session three Bible study. How can Paul s failings help us to come to terms with a God who chooses the unlikely including you and me. Everyone is welcome to join the Bible study. WE have two extra copies of the Gather magazine at the church which has the Bible study in it. So you if you do not receive the Gather magazine, you may borrow a copy from the church. We enjoy refreshments prior to the Bible Study. A Report on the Roof Berwald Roofing completed the new roof on the education wing and east end of the building the week of October 3. Even though they were unable to work one day because of rain, they had everything done by Friday, October 7. (Although, as I write this, the porta-potty is still in the parking lot!) We re grateful for your donations to cover the cost of the roof. Currently, there is about $36,000 in the Roof Fund. We haven t yet received an invoice for payment, so look for more information in the December newsletter. Pub Theology November Edition Join us for Pub Theology on November 2 at Parkway Pizza at 7pm! In the midst of a heated and divisive election season we ll be talking about how to have compassionate conversations with people we might disagree with and the role of faith in politics. All are welcome to what looks to be an exciting topic! People of all ages can join but you must be 21 or over to drink adult beverages! 2
3 GIFT SUNDAY IS DECEMBER 4TH As you do your holiday shopping, don t forget the opportunity we have at St Peder s to share our blessings with others. This year s gifts will go again to the Center for Victims of Torture and The Division of Indian Work. Every year, your generosity is received with gratitude by these organizations! Sunday, December 4 is GIFT SUNDAY when you ll be invited to bring your unwrapped gifts or gifts cards forward as we gather them around the altar. (We do not need wrapping paper or ribbon.) Gifts for children are given to the Division of Indian Work. Books, games, toys and stuffed animals, as well as outerwear garments, are needed. Because many refugees are not from cold climates, The Center for Victims of Torture needs outerwear gifts for adults (gloves, hats, and scarves), thermal underwear tops and bottoms for both men and women (all sizes), warm socks, and heat packets for hands and feet that are sold at gas stations and sports stores. Many clients use public transportation in every kind of weather, and waiting for a bus can get cold! Gift cards for Target, etc. so that the recipients can purchase snow boots and appropriate winter shoes are helpful, too. If you d like to help organize the gifts for pick-up and delivery, please contact Pastor Julie. CELEBRATING A DECADE WITH PASTOR JULIE!!

4 PCYC CHILDREN S GIFT SALE 2016 Teach Children the Joy of Giving this Christmas Our church has participated in the PCYC Children s Gift Sale for over 25 years. PCYC, Plymouth Christian Youth Center, is an organization in North Minneapolis which began 60 years ago as an outreach ministry by a few Luther seminarians. PCYC s mission is to nurture, and challenge low income youth on the near north side in an effort to reverse the tides of poverty and violence and embrace hope, compassion, and the reality of a better world. The Annual Children s Gift Sale on Saturday, December 10, 2016, is one of the programs that supports this mission. The sale enables low income children to purchase 5 new gifts for their loved ones, mom, dad, grandma, sibling, cousin, or other loved one for a $1.00 and enable the children to learn the joy of giving as they shop alongside a caring volunteer. Once again we have the opportunity to participate in this spirit-filled event by providing gifts for the sale, and volunteering to help sort and set up the week before, as well as help children shop on December 10 th. PCYC needs over 6,000 gifts and over 300 volunteers to transform their facility into a Christmas Gift Store and help over 1,200 youth shop for their loved ones. PCYC suggests gifts in the $8 to $10 range for men, women, teenagers, children, and infants. See the stars on the Christmas tree outside the fellowship hall for gift ideas. Please place your gifts in the box under our PCYC Christmas tree by Sunday, November 27th, and they will be delivered in time for the sale. Monetary donations are also accepted and used to purchase items for the sale. For questions about the sale, organization, or volunteering for the event go to childrens-christmas-gift-sale-2016/ or call Kristi Erickson at or Elliot Johnson, PCYC at The Library needs more shelf space! Can you help? We have some fantastic new acquisitions for our library but have run out of shelf space and would appreciate the loan of a bookcase until a matching custom bookcase can be built (this could be a long-term loan). The loaner should be 36 (or up to 40 ) wide and have at least 4 (or even more) shelves. Please call Jeanne Schleh, , if you have something you think might work. Join us for a Thanksgiving Potluck on Friday, November 18 at noon! The annual November gathering for Grownups/ Koinonia is a Thanksgiving feast! Turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy are provided. Please bring a favorite side dish or dessert to share. And invite a friend to come and join us as we give thanks for all God s good gifts! All retired folks are welcome! 4
5 Faith Formation for All Ages Adult Faith Formation: The survey about Adult Faith Formation is still live! Need a paper copy? Get one from Shannon. Will you go to the survey ( or find the link on the Adult Ministries page of the St. Peder s website and answer a few questions? This will help us as we plan! Thank you! For November we ll be reading through The First Christmas by Borg and Crossan. Pick up your own copy or buy one for $12 from Shannon. Each week we ll discuss a couple of chapters. You can come even if you ve missed some of the weeks or haven t read all of the material. Here s the schedule: November 6 Chapters 2 and 3 (of Part 1) November 13 No class: Ableskive November 20 No class: congregational meeting November 27 No class: Advent Festival December 4 Part 2 (chapters 4, 5, 6) December 11 Part 3 (chapters 7, 8, 9) Children and Youth Faith Formation: Class is going very well so far this year. We have an incredibly lively group of children with a large pre-k class (15 kiddos)! Each week we sing together and then hear stories from the Bible, looking at the same texts that are discussed in adult worship. The older youth are doing a series called Echo: The Story where we re working our way through the Bible from the beginning. It s a creative curriculum that includes a sketch journal for each participant, story telling, and plenty of time for discussion. SUMMER TRIP? Some folks are exploring taking some of the older youth (9th-12th grade) to the Boundary Waters for a trip this summer in either July or August. Do you have a youth that would be interested? If so, can you let Shannon know? At this point we re just checking to see if there is enough interest to make the trip happen. Thanks! Adult chaperones in youth class: November 13- Judy November 20- Still needed November 27- Anne Sheridan Story Volunteers: November 2 Vickie and Stephen November 18 Sue and John 5
