THROUGH THE YEARS HIGHLIGHTS FROM BETHANY S FIRST 125 YEARS ON OUR WAY REJOICING By: Marilyn Meyer Tgether we wrship Gd, care fr ne anther, and prclaim the living Christ In 2001, the Bethany Herald began making its way ver the Internet as a cst saving item fr the cngregatinal budget. At least $200 was being saved in pstage as well as savings n paper, ink, and mailing labels. The ladies f Bethany cntinued t be cnstant in their activities t enhance the lives f thers. Thrugh their wrk during the year-- 52 health kits, 79 schl kits, 21 layettes, 9 bxes f sweaters and 51 quiltswere sent t Lutheran Wrld Relief. Twenty-six yung peple were cnfirmed in the spring and thirty-ne senirs graduated in May---all part f the Bethany Family! In June, Pastr Tm Reagan received a letter f call frm St. Jhn s Lutheran Church in Raymnd, MN. After prayerful cnsideratin, he decided t accept the call with his last day t be n July 17. The Reagan family had been a special integral part f Bethany fr almst six years. Deb Mechler, wh was a member f Hpe Refrmed Church and als a half-time seminary student, served as a pastr when Tm Reagan left. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) in America and the Refrmed Church in America (RCA) had an agreement in place that allwed fr pastrs t serve in this way. Nicle Steele resigned as Yuth Directr and Stan Letscher became the new directr. Christmas at Bethany was bserved in 2001! Pastr Sctt Meier accepted a call in early December and became part f the Bethany staff in early March f 2002 In Secular Histry----Gerge W. Bush was inaugurated as America s 43 rd U.S. President serving tw terms! A galln f gas was $1.46; a pstage stamp was 34 cents; a dzen eggs cst 90 cents. The ppular TV shws were ER and Wh Wants t Be a Millinaire! What d yu remember abut 2001? THE BETHANY HERALD OCTOBER
3 Dear family f Gd at Bethany, By the time yu read this yu will have heard f my resignatin It s all gd; I m just mving n in respnse t a different calling. S I decided t make this last article be very bjective; Refrmatin Sunday is the last Sunday f the mnth, s let s talk a little Lutheran dctrine. Sla! Sla! Sla! Sla translates rughly as alne, r nly, and it is ne f the standing irnies f Lutheranism that we have three nlies. Faith alne! Wrd alne! Grace alne! It is nly by faith that we are saved. It is nly by the Wrd that Gd speaks. And It is nly by Grace that ur life is changed frm sinner t saint. Simul justis et picatr. This latin phrase translates rughly as simultaneusly saint and sinner. We are sinners because f ur human nature. We are saints because f Gd s grace and lve. Gd has declared that we are his belved children --- that we are saints in the kingdm --- and this is ur identity. We are brn sinners; Gd says that we are saints. And s it is that at the very end f the funeral service we lay hands upn the casket/urn and pray that Gd will accept a sinner f yur wn redeeming. Rmans 3:28 Fr we hld that a persn is justified by faith, apart frm wrks f the law. Ephesians 2:5 by grace yu have been saved. These tw verses are interchangeably referred t as calling cards f Lutheranism. Bttm line? If we are saved, if we have faith, if we believe It is by the grace f Gd and nt ur wn merit. I believe that I cannt, by my wn understanding r effrt, believe in my Lrd Jesus Christ r cme t him. But the Hly Spirit has called me thrugh the gspel!!! These are the wrds f the explanatin t the third article f the Apstles Creed. I cnsistently refer t these wrds as the ne part f the Small Catechism yu shuld memrize if yu nly memrize ne part. If yu dn t knw them (the nes quted abve and fllwing) I encurage yu t learn them. If yu dn t wn a Small Catechism I encurage yu t buy ne. (Online r thrugh the church ffice) And if yu prefer, a translatin f the Small Catechism is fund n page 1160 at the back f the hymnal. Believing in Gd is nt a chice; it is a gift frm Gd. Here I stand, I can d n ther. The famus declaratin when Luther was n trial. Because f his faith --- because f his cnvictin --- because f the Scriptures he believed that he had t make a stand Gd bless, Pastr Len Luther nailed 95 theses (talking pints) t the Church dr (twn bulletin bard). I have presumptuusly redacted them t 6; I ve even left ut law-gspel, the sacraments and prayer. The 89 are imprtant --- but if yu have these 6 dwn yu understand the basics. THE BETHANY HERALD OCTOBER
