1 Salem Lutheran Church P O B O X H I T T E R D A L, M N D E C E M B E R A Message from Pastor Tom Human beings are creatures of habit. Everything we do on a regular basis gets turned into a ritual or routine or tradition. Most of us have a specific morning ritual which we follow religiously in order to get out the door on time for work or school. Most of our holidays are steeped in family tradition which we would never think of breaking. Christmas is especially prone to be governed by rather rigid rules about what we will eat, when we will go to church and when we will open the presents. We are creatures of habit because we like life that way. We like the predictability of it. We find comfort and peace in falling into these well established patterns of life which give us a feeling of order and security. I am not against any of the above, I like our family traditions as much as the next guy. But there is a problem with being creatures of habit and that is that every day and every Christmas is like every other day or Christmas. So much so that we have trouble distinguishing one from another. One day flows into another with such even regularity that we wake up one day and realize that years have passed into decades and life is rapidly drawing to an end. It wouldn t hurt for us to remember that the first Christmas was not at all part of some routine. It was totally disruptive in the lives of Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, the wisemen and even of Herod the King. Jesus birth upset the applecart for life on earth for all those who understood its meaning. Shouldn t it do the same in our lives today? If we really thought about what it means for Jesus to be born I us today, would we be able to relegate the celebration of such an event to ritual or tradition? Wouldn t the truth of God being with us disrupt business as usual just as it did that first Christmas? Shouldn t we be forced to rethink the way we live, whenever Jesus breaks through the rituals and traditions to touch our hearts with the presence of God s love? To be sure the Holy Spirit often uses our rituals and traditions to help us see the truth that in Christ God is with us, but this can only happen when we are willing to rethink what our rituals and traditions really mean. Have a thoughtful and Happy Christmas. Pastor Tom 1

2 Regular Council Meeting Carolyn Juell, Council Secretary Salem Lutheran Church Council Minutes, Wednesday, November 28, 2018 at 8 p.m. Council members present: Jeff Bettels, Susan Dunham, Warren Dunham, Charlie Johnson, Carolyn Juell, Roger Mattson, Pastor Tom Olson, Gary Peterson, Mitch Syverson. Pastor Tom opened the meeting with devotions. He read and talked about Ephesians Chap 4 in which Paul describes the church and it needs to work together. Wayne Nelson, Mission Interpreter for NW Synod, talked about the synod. He thanked Salem for their support. He said prayers as well as financial support are important. The secretary s report was read. Motion to accept as read was passed. Treasurer s report was read. Charlie made a motion to accept the report as read. The motion was seconded by Roger. Motion carried. Motion to pay the bills was made by Jeff. It was seconded by Mitch. Motion carried. Motion made by Charlie to accept Lydia Amundson as new member. Seconded by Gary. Motion carried. Ladies Aide executive board has decided they will not be contributing to Salem general fund as their income has fallen this year. Council discussed if the constitution should be changed. Pastor Tom said that it seems that except for nomenclature the current constitution and the one proposed by synod are similar. One area of concern that was discussed was that a vote to leave synod could be effective in 90 days in the current constitution. In the new proposed constitution from the synod, it would take 6 months. Following Roberts rules of order, it would take 1 year for this type of change to be effective. Council meeting for December was changed to December 30 following church service. The meeting was closed with the Lord s Prayer.
