2 God's Advent Promise The Advent summons is to watch and to wait. Our watching should be attentiveness to the ways of God. God acts by bringing life and salvation to a world without purpose or direction, groping its way through the darkness. Our waiting should be characterized by faithful patience, not counting the days or attempting to interpret the meaning of every unusual event. Above all, what God would have us learn during the days of our Advent pilgrimage is that God will act in God's time to bring us light and life and peace. We are waiting this Advent "for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ." We are not waiting for the advent of a God whom we do not know. Rather, we are waiting to see again the power of God. This power was born into the world as an infant who grew to be a person of hope for the hopeless and of grace for the brokenhearted. We are waiting to see once again the powerlessness of God as the world saw it: the child, grown to become a man, dying on a cross. We are waiting, as always, to see the power of resurrection, the power of life renewed and restored, the power of life lived toward eternity. In the midst of our Advent waiting, we bring with us expectations, dreams for the future, and above all, hope for ourselves and for the world in which we live. The waiting causes us to cry out, "Even so, Lord Jesus, quickly come," and because God answers such prayers, our watching is done with great anticipation. The Advent promise is that God's time is now, and God's kingdom is already breaking upon us. Your pastor in recovery: Tim Thies Spring Book Study! Wishful Thinking ~ a searchers ABC By Frederick Buechner Sunday; April 3 rd, 2016 / 6:30 8:30 Pastor Tim and Susan s home! 1010 East Lynn\ This book is seemingly a dictionary of terms related to religion and faith. In reality, it's a collection of Buechner's thoughts on these issues. Some of his "definitions" are a page long, some a paragraph, some just a sentence. They all manage to capture the essence of an idea and make you look at it in sometimes startling new ways. Take, for example, his definition for Lust: December, 2015 page 2
3 "Lust is the desire for salt from someone who is dying of thirst." Or Gluttony: "A glutton is someone who raids the icebox to try to cure spiritual malnutrition." This book expanded my perceptions, showed me alternate ways of looking at familiar things, and restored my sense of wonder in my (Christian) faith and in the world around me. Copies of this book can be purchased in the church office for $5. Please contact Pastor Tim if you plan to attend! What Is Pastor Tim Reading Whistling in the Dark: A Doubter's Dictionary Paperback May 21, 1993 by Frederick Buechner (Author) Awry and thought-provoking jaunt through the spiritual terrain of our everyday language -- a lexion of uncommon insight to jar the mind and nourish the soul. "I think of faith as a kind of whistling in the dark, because in much the same way," writes Buechner, "it helps to give us courage and to hold the shadows at bay." Buechner is one of the great theological minds of our time, but his writing is accessible without being condescending. In this classic lexicon, he captures the dichotomy of faith and doubt in God. If you enjoy C.S. Lewis' work but have a sometimes irreverent sense of humor, you are sure to want your own copy of Whistling in the Dark! Church Bulletin Bloopers Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Don't forget your husbands. December, 2015 page 3
4 Stewardship Quote for December Gratitude has the power to transform your outlook and open your eyes to life's fullness. It can transform a trinket into a treasure, a meal into a feast, a deficit into a gain." --Louise Rousseau, Living With An Open Hand Tuesday Morning Lectionary Bible Study ~ Please check the church calendar for schedule This conversation facilitated by Pastor Tim is centered upon the assigned texts for worship each week. We meet most Tuesdays at 7:00 AM for minutes, Come and go as time permits! Coffee and a healthy morning snack will be served. Looking forward to sharing insights into the scripture and the always welcoming fellowship! Any questions please contact Pastor Tim! The CLC gospel choir goes into the fall / winter season without Colin Conner as its director. For the time being Colin has chosen to step down as director in order to attend to some personal endeavors. Our thoughts and prayers embrace Colin as we are both grateful for his many years of passionate service to our faith community and in looking forward to his future return. In the meantime, a music leader is needed to step into this part-time, paid position. Please see Pastor Tim for additional details. Your prayers for the Spirit s guidance in this time of transition are greatly appreciated. Lutheran Tidbit for December THE GENESIS OF THE CHRISMAS TREE Germany is credited with starting the Christmas tree tradition as we now know it in the 16th century when devout Christians brought decorated trees into their homes. Some built Christmas pyramids of wood and decorated them with evergreens and a candle if wood was scarce. It is a widely held belief that Martin Luther, the 16th-century Protestant reformer, first added lighted candles to a tree. Walking toward his home one winter evening, composing a sermon, he was awed by the brilliance of stars twinkling amidst evergreens. To recapture the scene for his family, he erected a tree in the main room and wired its branches with lighted candles. December, 2015 page 4
5 This Sunday morning discussion group meets in the Adult Education room from 10:45 11:30 AM (most Sundays please check the church calander for meeting dates!) As a guide for each gathering we will be using the Books of Faith Series offered from Augsburg Fortress. This series explores individual books of the Bible through historical, literary, devotional, and Lutheran-theological perspectives. Facilitated by Pastor Tim, the winter study focus is on the book of Ruth. The incredibly rich story told in the book of Ruth captures the fears, challenges, and hope of those who find themselves pulled away from home and of those who are there when they return. In this book we are invited into the deep emotions and conversations of the three central characters of Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz, while exploring the themes of loss, loyalty, risk, and hope. The Study of Ruth will begin on Sunday, December 6 th see you then! Confirmands have been diligent in their study of Martin Luther his Life and Accomplishments. Our weekly discussion has been augmented by a powerful movie on this most prolific reformer of the church. A shout out to the youth for their active participation in worship, especially their thoughtful insights as shared in their Worship Notes! Reminder: Confirmation will not meet with Pastor Tim on the last Wednesday of the month! Instead, confirmation youth and families are strongly encouraged to meet in the library at 6 PM for the Family Service Project! See Janet for more information. Please check the December calendar for class dates as Pastor Tim has a few scheduling conflicts that will take him away from facilitating confirmation. Pastor Tim apologizes for the inconvenience. December, 2015 page 5 Sunday, December 6 th, 2015 Time- 7:00 PM A Blue Christmas Service is offered to the grieving among us who remember those they have loved and lost. The holidays can be an especially difficult and sad time as the memory of loved ones held close to our hearts surface and expose an array of emotions. The service is an opportunity to find strength this Christmas season as we call upon the Light of Christ to bring hope to shattered hearts. The service is scheduled for Sunday evening, December 6 th. This quiet and reflective time for remembering begins at 7:00 PM. The service includes a series of scripture readings and hymns along with an opportunity to join others in lighting a candle in honor of the special person who touched your life so deeply. At the conclusion of worship, the Christ candle is lit as we remember the gift of hope that the Christmas story offers to all.
6 This is a worship service that the community in and around Canton is invited to attend. Please share this information with friends, neighbors and co-workers who would benefit from a worship opportunity that acknowledges their loss and offers a Word of Hope and comfort. For additional information please speak with Pastor Tim. As worship unfolds on this most sacred of nights, we will hear the voices of these authors speak to us anew of the glory of Christ s birth.

13 Dear Friends, November 16, 2015 Canton Lutheran Church is a pretty amazing place! There are marvelous opportunities to grow in spirit and service in this congregation. And growth is a key word when it comes to understanding our relationship with God. Jesus taught those who followed him, so they might expand their vision of who God is and who they were in relationship to God. Jesus affirmed that God loved them. Then Jesus challenged them to live in response to that love by loving others. Living in response to that Good News of God s love is not always easy. It can demand that we make changes in our lives and the way we think about and deal with other people. Offering grace and forgiveness to someone who has hurt us can be hard! Thinking about others and their needs ahead of our own wants can be downright counter cultural especially when all of the messages we hear tell us to look out for ourselves first! During the month of November, as a church, we enter into a time of thinking about how we help make and create positive change. This is the time of year we talk about stewardship a concept that has to do with many things beyond money. How we care for the earth, how we care for ourselves, how we care for the good news of God s love for us, and how we care for the resources that are in our sphere of influence, are all a part of the spiritual discipline of stewardship. I am asking you to consider making an end of year financial commitment to empower this church your church to keep on doing amazing things! This is not so much about the church, as it is about you. It is an opportunity to grow by making a choice to make a gift that can make a difference. It is an invitation to discover the joy of giving in response to all that you have received. There are two specific ways in which your gifts can make a difference: 1) As of November 1 st, 2015 our expenses to empower and equip ministry at CLC have exceeded our offerings by $6000. An end of year contribution by members and friends of this congregation can go a long way in eliminating this deficit! Yes, WE CAN; together make a difference! 2) Countless hours and energy by the leadership / teams of CLC will soon result in the completion of our church basement following the flood of 2014! When the budget for the basement renovation was presented to the congregation the cost of replacing all our tables and chairs was not included. At the time, we were not sure what items could be salvaged. As it turns out ALL our tables and chairs were ruined in the flood waters. The replacement cost we will incur is as follows: 200 $20 per chair / 18 round $265 per table / 8 rectangular $220 per table Please prayerfully consider a financial gift to help offset the expense associated with this final aspect of breathing new life into our refurbished church basement! I know Susan and I will be buying one round table and five chars for our family of four (and a guest!). Who will be seated with you as we fellowship together in 2016? Your financial gifts to meet our end of year challenge can be placed in the offering or mailed to the church office. Please mark your gifts as follows: EOY Giving! As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, Advent, Christmas and end of the year with its rhythms of gratitude and giftgiving, we pray and hope you would consider how you are being called to live in response to all God in Christ has given to you! Thank you for your ongoing mission generosity! Your grateful pastor living in recovery! Pastor Tim Thies
