1 1 Lutheran Church of Our Saviour Volume 18, No. 5 Pastor Katie s Corner May 2018 On Pentecost, we have to imagine that there were too many people in Jerusalem to count. Other times, Luke reports how many people heard the Good News of Christ and were baptized: three thousand persons (Acts 2:41), about five thousand (Acts 4:4). But when the Holy Spirit shows up with tongues of fire causing the disciples to preach in foreign languages, he must have lost count. Luke lists the people by where they were from, instead of by how many there were. How many believers were added that day? How many saints were in that number? It s a good question, and one that s relevant to LCOS. Because every year, we make a count of our official active members, baptized individuals who at one point or another requested to be on the official list called the rolls of our congregation. We report this number annually to the national office of the ELCA, to the Virginia Synod, and we use it to designate how many people constitute a quorum at our annual meetings. At our annual meeting last November, in 2017, this number of official active members came up. Someone asked, How many members do we have on the rolls right now? I said that at the end of 2016, we counted and reported 399 active members. Well, that seems high to me. I was looking at our Directory the other day, and I saw a lot of people who had moved away, changed churches, or even died. The person s comment sparked my and the Church Council s interest. While we do remove annually the saints who die and those who tell us they move and transfer churches, our leaders agreed that it was time to make a more accurate count of the saints in our number. Why? Because then we will have an up-to-date list of people who actively want to be and are involved with LCOS in mission and discipleship. That more-accurate list will help us better communicate and organize within our congregation, because we will know whom we re organizing and communicating with. Now, what are the standards for active membership? Our Bylaws (Article 8) tell us: A member who has not received communion and has not made a contribution of record for two consecutive calendar years may be classified as inactive by the Congregation Council. An inactive member is ineligible to vote, and may be removed from the roll of membership by the Congregation Council. An inactive member will remain a person for whom the church has a continuing pastoral concern. An inactive member shall be restored to the voting roll by the Congregation Council when that member again communes and makes a contribution of record to the congregation. Continues on next page.
2 2 VOLUME 18, NO.5 Pastor Katie s Corner (cont. d) As the person constitutionally mandated to keep the congregation s rolls, I suggested the following to the Church Council, and they agreed. We work over a two-year phase to update our rolls, pruning them in 2017 and While our efforts will cause our official active membership number to go down, taking it down in two steps will help our demographic data reflect the fact that we carefully chose to go through the rolls, instead of making it appear like an outside factor affected membership. In 2017, we take off all those whom we know to be actively living and participating elsewhere. We make a list of all those who have never made themselves known to me or whom I have never met since I came as pastor in February This puts us well within the has not received communion and has not made a contribution of record for two consecutive calendar years standard. In 2018, we release that list of people to the congregation and ask them what they know about these folks, if they are still around, and if they still want to be officially in relationship with LCOS. That last step would normally be the work of an Evangelism Team, but we don t have an Evangelism Team. So you, dear congregation, are to be the Evangelism Team for this list of saints. You ll find the list on page 5. We ask you to: Read the list and see if you recognize anyone s names. Of those whom you know, let us know if they have moved out of the area or are actively worshipping at another church. Reach out to your friends on the list! This is the most important step. Call them. them. Visit them. Invite them to church. Ask them if they re worshipping anywhere. Tell them you miss them. Ask them if they d like to remain on the rolls as a member of LCOS. If yes, encourage them to come worship with us again. If no, offer your continued prayers and friendship to them. Report back to us. me (pastorkatie@lcosva.org) or Council President Walt Strohecker (wstroheck@aol.com) with any information you gather. Call us at the church ( ). If the person needs a pastoral call, let me know! We still love and care for these people. We just have not seen them in years. Report back by September Some of you may see your family members names on the list. I counted all those whom I ve never met, and that includes a number of adult children who live out of the area. If you wish to have them remain on the rolls, that is fine. Just let us know. And finally, some of you reading this note may see your own name on the list. If so, hello! You are still welcome and invited to LCOS. I would love to meet you! We would like to get to know you again and see how we can help you walk faithfully with the Lord Christ. At the end of this process, we hope to know how many saints are in our number. But let us not lose sight of all the saints whom the Spirit has brought and is bringing to us, and all the people who still need the Pentecost message that in Jesus Christ, God loves them. Let us use this project to be evangelists, not just to those on the list, but to all the world. In peace, Pastor Katie
3 3 A Monthly Message VOLUME 18, NO.5 from our Council President: Greetings LCOS members, In Matthew 22:36, a Pharisee asks Jesus: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments". The Pharisee asked for one commandment, yet Jesus answered him with two. The fact that Jesus answered in this way tells us that in our Lord s mind, these two commandments are of equal importance. For us sinful beings, these commandments prove too difficult to obey, for they speak of a love that requires us to deny ourselves and make sacrifices we re not often willing to do. In the month of May we recognize two holidays that honor personal sacrifice, yet the circumstances that lead to these sacrifices are at opposite ends on the spectrum of human emotion. One holiday invokes memories of love and kindness, while the other can stir up painful memories of death and suffering. On Mother s Day, we honor our mothers for the love and nurturing they provide to the family. We are forever grateful for the sacrifices they and other women made, and continue to make, in putting a family s needs over their own. This familial love reminds us that God has given us the capability to achieve the love Jesus asks from us in the two commandments written in Matthew 22. On the other hand, Memorial Day reminds us of how easily mankind is willing to reject the love Jesus commands us to give. Historians estimate that over 1.1 million U.S. soldiers have been killed in combat since America declared its independence. That staggering number is for only one country in less than 250 years! Yet, despite the different emotions these holidays stir up, they are linked by the sacrifices made for a love: Mother s Day for the love of the family, and Memorial Day for the love of a country or cause. So what can we answer Jesus calling to Love the Lord your God with all your heart? It starts with worship. Worship is where we, as a Christian community, sing thanks and praise to the Lord, partake in the sacraments, confess our sins, and confirm our beliefs. Through Baptism, the Holy Spirit has put the seed of our Lord s love in your heart, and I can personally attest that attending worship regularly will cause that seed of love to grow, even a seed that s been neglected for years. What about the second commandment, to Love your neighbor as yourself? You have chosen LCOS as your place of worship. Why did you make that choice? I d submit that one reason is the sense of community you feel at our church. We have many dedicated people in this congregation who lovingly devote their time and talents in service to your church, but more help is always welcome, and certainly needed. Consider increasing your service to the church as a way of showing your love for your LCOS neighbors. We should, in the words of Eric Clapton, Plant your love and let it grow.... Let it blossom, let it flow. God Bless, Walt Strohecker Church Council President wstroheck@aol.com
