1 FIRST LUTHERAN CHURC H 408 Ninth Street NW Mandan, ND Phone: Fax: jackie@firstlutheranofmandan.org First Lutheran Church November Newsletter Building Faith and Transforming Lives in Christ. We re on the web! Happy Thanksgiving from the staff at First Lutheran Church! November 2015 First Lutheran Staff Administrative Pastor Rev. Lee Herberg Associate Pastor Rev. Christina Martin Administrative Assistant & Coordinator of Lay Ministries Jackie Schulz (o) (h) Custodians Ron & Mavis Watson Financial Administration Jennifer Scheet First Lutheran Is A Mission Partner with Camp of the Cross Ministries 1 As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and behold the face of God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me continually, "Where is your God?" 4 These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I went with the throng, and led them in procession to the house of God, with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival. 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help. 1 Psalm 42: 1-5 As I write this Russell and I are not so patiently waiting for the arrival of our first child. It is an exciting time. In preparation for the birth of our son, we were able to go back to Indiana in August to be showered by our families' love and of course get a lot of baby stuff. Spending that time with our families was a blessing. The shower was fun. Yet during the baby shower, there was a notable person from my family missing. My cousin could not come. You see for her, the baby shower was bittersweet. After years of fertility treatments, she and her husband found out they were expecting, only to lose the baby a few months later. As we approach the holiday season, I can t help but think about my cousin. November marks the beginning of a holiday frenzy that doesn t seem to end until after Christmas. With all the food, shopping, and festive commercials, it is easy to get caught up in the frenzy of the season and forget that the holidays are not always filled with a sense of blessing for our neighbor. For some the holidays are more bittersweet, a time when the soul longs for the living God. It is a time marked by the empty spot at the table, the dinner made for one, and the lack of presents under the tree. As we approach and prepare for the frenzy of this holiday season, remember your neighbor. Perhaps their prayer can be answered in you and you in them. For when we look at our neighbor in love, we see the face of God. Go in peace, God is with you!

Congregations in the ELCA have congregational autonomy; i.e. each congregation makes their own decision.

Each table had 1 council member who read 4 questions and people wrote down their answers. Comments were allowed at the end. Also, people could call in with comments if they did not attend. Trinity voted that they would allow the blessing of same sex unions to be held in their church; First in Williston church has not voted yet as their talking points are very detailed and will be spread over 5 months.
