1 Sunday Mornings at 10:00am Sunday School at 11:15am St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church 721 Twelfth Avenue, Huntington WV The mission of St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church is to CELEBRATE and PROCLAIM to all the saving grace of JESUS CHRIST in word and deed. 1

2 Pastor s Reflections I ran across an article the other day I thought would be helpful in a follow up to my reflections to you this month. The article is about the program church. The program church is a pretty simple concept: A program church offers programs to the people of the church. These programs are one of the ways the church proclaims, lives and shows the Gospel in the world. The writer of the article suggests that for churches to function in mission and ministry in the 21 st century amidst all the social media and worldly programs available, that do much of what the church has historically done, we need to do three things: 1. Focus on deepening members spiritual lives, 2. Create small intimate communities, 3. offer hands on mission opportunities. So how are we doing in these categories? Are spiritual lives being deepened in this place? Have we/ Are we creating small intimate communities? Do we offer hands on mission opportunities? I would suggest that we do all of these things in one way or another. It seems to me worship is the central place we seek to deepen our spiritual lives. We also deepen spiritual lives by making prayer a priority in our life and work here at St. Paul. Can you think of any other way? What about small intimate communities? Do we have small groups here at St. Paul? Yes Choir/ Adult Forum/ Sunday school/ Noon Bible study/ CCC and LYO/ Bell Ringers. Any others? Finally, we offer hands on mission opportunities here at St. Paul: Christmas Baskets/ Habitat Build/ Backpack ministry to Southside Elementary/ Help with Trinity s table at Trinity Lutheran in Charleston. Any others? I also ran across an article posted by a Lutheran pastor in Texas in which he fleshes out the 3 foci of the initial article on the program church. He lists 7 things the church can do to specifically live the three focuses: 1. Worship without walls House church worship is a small group of people gathering on a specific time and place to do life together that is focused on a specific mission, 2. Movement from members to mission partners I go to St. Paul Lutheran Church. TO I serve at St Paul Lutheran Church, 3. Embedded church Instead of going to a church building and inviting friends, disciples will simply engage in talk about Jesus in their particular place of vocation (work/ life station) saying: I do what I do because Jesus was raised from the dead. 4. Programs to protest, 5. One-on ones, 6. Taking risks, 7. Read and pray. Aren t these 7 interesting? Being church needs to be different these days. Being church is living and sharing and being the Gospel in the world. I pray we continue to grow in this endeavor God s work. I pray that you ponder this work of the church and ask: Where can I (me and my family) be involved? May God bless us in our endeavors. Your partner in the journey, Pastor Kevin <>< 2

3 A note from Jill... As we enjoy the season of autumn, we also get ready to fall back in time. Our time changes and our daylight hours seem to shorten. It is important to remember the light even on the darkest of days. Seasons change and people seem to focus on one Holiday to the next. CCC and LYO are keeping the light alive while learning stories of the Old Testament, participating in teamwork activities, and expressing prayers for those in need around us. Our children have evangelized with chalk art on the church stairs and sidewalks, with simple bible quotes, pictures, symbols, and phrases of positivity, such as Smile God loves you. They have also sent fliers through the neighborhood about our Annual Trunk or Treat. One of our youth even made 150 cards with lollipops inviting all to come to our worship service, Sunday school, and Youth group on Wednesday evening. Trunk or Treat was a sweet success! We had over 100 children and their families come enjoy the high spirited evening with crafts, games, goodies, fellowship, and costume contest. We saw several families from the surrounding community and have also had some new youth attend Wednesday evenings. I am pleased to say our youth are always active in doing God s work in sharing, caring and helping one another. The youth have carved pumpkins and donated them for prizes at Trunk or Treat. They have made pumpkin seeds to taste and share. Our youth have also gathered in their own fun fall festivities as October nears its end. I am blessed to be with His children and I am thankful for the next season and Holidays to come, as we will be preparing for the advent season and our Christmas program to share with the congregation. For we are God s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. - Ephesians 2:10 God s Blessings to all! Your loving sister in Christ, Jill May 3

10 TIME TO ORDER DAILY TEXTS Pastor Mackey introduced the Daily Texts to the St. Paul community when he first came to be our pastor. The Daily Texts are part of a long tradition from the Moravian Church which is based in North Carolina. Mount Carmel Ministries in Alexandria, MN publishes a Lutheran version of the Daily Texts. Each year we give an opportunity for the members of St Paul to order these yearly devotionals that have an Old Testament lesson, a New Testament lesson and a prayer for each day of the year. There will be a sign-up sheet at the back of the sanctuary if you wish to order a copy of the Daily Texts. The cost for each devotional is $6.00. On Sunday, November 5 we will be remembering the saints who have gone before us this past year. Please join us as we celebrate the lives of Arthur Fricke, Stephanie Garnett, and Shirley Fuller.

19 PRAYER VENTURES NOVEMBER All Saints Day Today we remember and honor saints, martyrs and loved ones who have gone before us and made an impact on our lives, the church and history. Pray for people who mourn the loss of someone they love or value that they find healing through the support given by friends, family and faith communities, and comfort from faith in Jesus victory over death and the promise of eternal life. 2 National American Indian Heritage Month We give thanks for the gifts and witness of American Indian and Alaska Native members of the ELCA, 30 native congregations, new ministries and the work of the American Indian and Alaska Native Lutheran Association, all grounded in reconciliation and the mutual building up of the saints people of all backgrounds, tribes, regions, communities, congregations and unique needs. 3 Pray for relief and recovery from the widespread destruction caused by recent hurricanes and storms across the Gulf Coast and Southeastern states, Puerto Rico, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the U.S. Virgin Islands and other locations in the Caribbean. Pray our concern translates into actions, gifts, support and empathy for people and communities engaged in the long, hard and sometimes discouraging work of rebuilding and recovery. 4 Remember in prayer the young adults serving in the Young Adults in Global Mission program in Australia and their coordinators, the Rev. Kim Crawford and the Rev. Henry Martinez, that God will bless and further their witness and service alongside leaders of the Lutheran Church of Australia. 5 Ask God for clarity in discerning which leaders, teachers and prophets to trust and listen to, for the wisdom to know whom to follow and emulate as humble, disciples of Christ and to know that we have one teacher who is unfailing and trustworthy in leading us in God s ways and truth the Messiah, Jesus Christ. 6 Give thanks that our church believes that cultural, ethnic and racial differences should be seen and celebrated as what God intends them to be blessings rather than means of oppression and discrimination and pray for courage and selfreflection to face and change the uncomfortable things within ourselves, culture and society that selectively cause suffering and harm of others. 7 On this day when elections are taking place across our country, we pray the Spirit of God will guide our church and members in defending human dignity, standing with poor and powerless people, advocating justice, working for peace and caring for the earth in the processes and structures of society. 8 When we experience criticism or oppression for our faith and living from the gospel, pray for renewed faith and trust in God s light and truth that lifts our spirit and encourages us forward as bold disciples serving our neighbor and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. 9 We remember in our prayers leaders gathered for the ELCA Church Council, that they are inspired and led by the Spirit in all they do and in helping our church pursue and keep before us God s work in the world. 10 Though our celebration of the Reformation may seem marked in time and history, we ask God to help our church to be always open to change, growth and reform centered in Scripture and the gospel for the sake of doing God s work in the world. 11 Veterans Day While war and conflict between nations and people are unfortunate aspects of our human nature and weakness, we pray God will continue to reveal and shine a light on God s paths and ways of peace, justice, reconciliation and mutual concern. Give thanks and recognition for the sacrifice of men, women and young adults who choose to serve and have served in the past our country in pursuit of global peace, justice and the well-being of all God s people. 12 Pray that every aspect of our life in the present is influenced and guided by our faith and God s word, making us determined and equipped to serve our neighbor and share the gospel now. 19

20 13 Pray for the people and communities recovering from the strong earthquakes in Mexico, and ask God to guide the work and partnerships of Lutheran Disaster Response and our ecumenical partners accompanying people during this time of loss and rebuilding. 14 Remember and give thanks for the United Church of Christ, a full communion partner with the ELCA since 1997, and ask God to deepen our partnership and bless our work together sharing the gospel and serving our neighbor. 15 In our striving for wisdom, we ask God to instill in us a lifelong desire and openness to studying God s word and learning and to help us become wise yet humble teachers, leaders and examples in our congregation and community. 16 Pray for the members, congregations and leaders of the Caribbean and Florida-Bahamas synods facing the long-term process of rebuilding and caring for storm-ravaged communities and people who have experienced great loss and ongoing challenges. Ask God to strengthen and sustain them for supporting one another, reaching out to and caring for neighbors, sharing hope and witnessing to God s enduring love and presence. 17 Pray the Spirit will stir in us a love of telling our children, grandchildren, family, friends, coworkers, strangers and the world stories of the wondrous things God has done. 18 We remember in our prayers people who are homeless or on the verge of becoming homeless, praying they find safe shelter and that our congregations are caring communities assisting people with housing, food, employment and services necessary for daily life while respecting their dignity and desire to be self-sufficient. 19 Pray we are not consumed with maintaining the status quo, defending institutions to preserve comfort or familiarity, or hiding the resources God has entrusted to us but that we freely use our blessings and assets and take risks for the sake of mission, service, witness and purposeful change. 20 Give thanks for the faithful work and witness of ELCA missionaries Lucas Peters (Thailand), the Rev. Eric and the Rev. Wendolyn Trozzo (Malaysia), the Rev. Jeffrey Truscott (Singapore) and the Rev. Suk Yeon Lee (South Korea). 21 The ELCA and The Episcopal Church are committed to prayer, fasting and advocacy addressing cuts to public programs that are vital to hungry people who are living in poverty. Remember to pray for these concerns, our leaders and people in need on the 21st of each month through December Ask God to deepen our understandings of abundance, generosity, stewardship, compassion and neighbor. 23 Thanksgiving Day God is good, loving and generous, providing abundantly for humankind and all living things. Give thanks for the blessings that sustain us, and pray we are generous in sharing our resources, shelter, food, care and hospitality with our neighbor. 24 Lift up in prayer people who serve a role in planting, tending, growing, harvesting, transporting and preparing the food that sustains us and gives us joy, and pray for renewed commitment to doing everything possible to eliminate hunger in the world. 25 Our lives are fleeting and fragile. Give thanks to God for the life we have and the days we are blessed with, and pray we live each day mindful of and driven by our baptismal journey of faith, service, witness and compassion for our neighbor. 26 We pray we treat one another, especially people living in the margins of society or in contexts removed from our daily experience of life, with the same love, concern and mercy God has shown us. 27 Give thanks and praise to God for always being our strength and refuge, our hope and joy. 28 Pray for God to deepen our faith and reveal to us daily the power, glory and love we have come to know in the risen Christ, Lord of the church, creation and universe. 29 We remember in our prayers the Network of ELCA Colleges and Universities, a collaboration of the ELCA churchwide organization and our 26 colleges and universities dedicated to the freedom of inquiry and the development of the whole person in body, mind and spirit. 30 Andrew, Apostle Andrew dropped his fishing net and familiar livelihood to follow Jesus. Ask God to help us discern what we can drop or reprioritize for the sake of following Jesus 20 as a disciple, servant and witness to the gospel that others may believe and follow too.
