Whoppers or Adventures?

“But you are the same, and your

years will have no end.”

(Psalm 102:27)

My grandfather loved to tell stories,

and I loved to listen. Grandpa had two

kinds of tales. “Whoppers” were stories

with a whiff of truth, but which changed

with each new telling. “Adventures” were stories that really

happened, and the facts never changed when retold. One

day my grandfather told a story that just seemed too far-

fetched to be true. “Whopper,” I declared, but my grandfa-

ther insisted that it was true. Although his telling never var-

ied, I simply could not believe it, it was that unusual.

Then one day, while I was listening to a Milwaukee

radio station, I heard the announcer tell a story that con-

firmed the truth of my Grandfather’s tale. My grandfather’s

“whopper” became an “adventure.” It was a moving moment

of remembrance that made him even more trustworthy in

my eyes.

When the psalmist wrote about the unchanging na-

ture of God (Psalm 102:27), he was offering this same com-

fort – the trustworthiness of God – to us. The idea is repeat-

ed in Hebrews 13:8 with these words, “Jesus Christ is the

same yesterday, today, and forever.” This can lift our hearts

above our daily trials to remind us that an unchanging, trust-

worthy God rules over even the chaos of a changing world.

Our God is God – he does not change;

His truth, his love remain each day the same.

He’s faithful to his matchless name;

For God is God – he does not change.

See you in worship this weekend as we worship our

unchanging God. God bless you!

“So Christ made us free.

Now, make sure that you stay free

and don’t get all tied up again in the

chains of slavery to Jewish laws and

ceremonies…” Galatians 5:1

Have you ever had someone

say to you, “I can’t talk to you right

now. I’m all tied up”? What do they mean? They’re

simply saying that they are involved in other things

and you cannot be important to them until those

things are taken care of.

Have you ever felt that life has you all tied up?

You can hardly move because of the knots of prob-

lems that have you tied up tight.

Christian freedom is leaving the knots behind

you and operating in the open space God has given

you. Some of us allow others to tie us up. A few of

us tie ourselves up. Either way, we are not free.

Paul urged the new Christians at Galatia to

preserve their freedom and not fall back into old

Pastor Mose Henney

Assistant Pastor

ways. They were urged to enjoy God’s grace rather

than man’s laws.

Many people in today’s world dream of free-

dom and will travel any path to obtain it. They live

in countries where freedom is a forgotten word.

They are being strangled by knots of oppression

that are being imposed by governments, militaries,

radical and extremists groups, and subsequently

many of them run toward the freedoms that you and

I take for granted. And yes, sometimes we too are

subjected to these uncomfortable mandates and

rules. That’s why we cannot forget that true free-

dom is found in Christ. When He sets you free,

you are truly free, and you will never need to look

back.

How free are you today? How many chains

are you still dragging around. Remember, the

Christian is not a chain collector! I’ll see you when

we next gather for the freedom of worship…

John and Jenn Wolf serve the Lord as mission-

aries through The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod

(LCMS) in Kenya. As the Africa region’s project manag-

er, John provides oversight and support for projects and

grants across the region, with a particular focus on mer-

theran Church, Aurora, Colo. He received a bachelor’s

degree in mechanical engineering from Michigan Tech

University, Houghton. He also received a master’s de-

gree in space studies from the University of North Da-

kota, Grand Forks. John served 20 years in the United

States Air Force and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in

2015. His professional background includes project

management and working with international partners in

Europe and Asia. His hobbies include gardening, histor-

ical re-enactments, hiking and camping.

Jenn was born and raised in Anchorage, Alas-

ka. Her home congregation is also Hope Lutheran

Church, Aurora, Colo. She received a bachelor’s de-

gree in South/Southeast Asian studies from the Univer-

sity of California, Berkeley. She also took graduate level

courses in teaching and deaf education prior to teach-

ing in Montana and California schools. Since 2001, she

has been a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling their

children and doing volunteer work. Her hobbies include

fiber arts, classical violin, international folk music and

reading. John and Jenn have five beautiful children —

Ian, Sean, Thad, Annalise and Angus — who join them

on the mission field.

Prayers

Pray for the Wolfs as they serve in Kenya. Ask

God to give them strength and wisdom in their mission

work overseas. Pray for John as he supports the needs

of the African people. Pray also for Jenn and the chil-

Board of Directors Report for October, 2021

At the regular meeting of the LOG Board

of Directors held October 19, 2021 the following

items were discussed and the following actions

taken:

• At the previous meeting the Board decided to revise the current LOG Board of Directors Pol-icy Manual. The Policy Manual is based on the Policy Governance model which replaced the traditional Church Council model in April 2013. Pastor Mike reported on his discus-sions with Dr. Gibson, District President in or-der to find congregations of similar size that are using the Policy Governance model. He discovered that Mountain View Lutheran Church here in Las Vegas is going through the same process. He will contact Pastor Klemm at Mountain View and invite him to compare notes with the LOG Board.

• Pastor Mike reported on progress of the Asso-ciate Pastor Call Committee. A survey was sent to members of the congregation in Octo-ber asking for input on what type of candidate to look for. So far about 50 responses have been received. A congregation meeting will be held in November to go over the tabulated results. The information gleaned from the sur-vey will be sent to the District to match up with potential candidates from the entire Synod.

• The next congregation Strategic Planning meeting will be held in January 2022 and fo-cus on the “Living” component of the “Through Christ, we Learn. Live, and Love” vision state-ment.

• The financial reports included results for the month and year-to-date ending September 30. The September month net loss was $24,625 which was $34,854 unfavorable to Budget. Year-to-date net income was $168,347 which was $124,824 favorable to Budget. The fa-vorable year-to-date variance resulted mainly from prepaid tuition in July and August which was not budgeted. Total cash at month-end September was $693,133 and free cash (available to pay bills) was $487,667. Both

cash totals were approximately $200,000 favor-able to Budget in large part because of prepaid tuition discussed above. The next regular meeting of the Board will be

held Tuesday, November 16, 2021 at 6:30 p.m.

LOG Board membership is as follows:

Bonnie Karch, President

Trish Spatharos, Vice President

Laura Fischer, Secretary

Dave Fischer, Treasurer (non-voting)

Dennis Friday

Jolene Hawkes

Robert Vega

Bradon Winslow

Note: LOG members are invited to observe regu-

larly scheduled meetings. At the discretion of the

Board, members of the congregation July address

the Board if the President has received a request

with adequate notice prior to the meeting. The

President will determine the amount of time allotted

to such a presentation and will inform the congre-

gational member of that time allotment before the

meeting.

of the many ministries at LOG.

Do you use an online Bible? The You Ver-

sion Bible App is a great tool for on-the-go Bible

reference and reading and they also provide

some useful information from time to time. This

month there is a message about prayer. Talking

to God doesn’t always feel easy, but if we want to

know God more, then we need to know how to

talk humbly and honestly with Him.

Here is the first of three things that may

encourage you as you draw near to God through

prayer.

1. Keep it simple.

God isn’t concerned about how eloquent your

words sound—He just wants to spend time with

you. Some of the best conversations with God

happen when you simply share what’s on your

mind and then give Him the space to respond.

Try asking:

God, what should I do about … ?

God, what do You think about … ?

God, would You … ?

God, why did this … ?

And through Christ we: LEARN Connecting with Jesus through small group Bible studies and other small group activities LIVE Being like Jesus in our daily lives LOVE Serving other people and sharing with others.

The second guide to meaningful prayer

will be revealed next month.

Please remember that the live streaming of the

8:00am Sunday service continues on the church

Facebook page (Lamb of God Lutheran Church

& School, Las Vegas or Facebook.com/

lambofgodlv) or check the live stream video on

the website, which is downloaded each Monday

(www.lambofgodlv.com). Spread the word

among all your friends far and wide. It is availa-

ble to all.

In Christ we who are many form one body and each member belongs to all the others.

We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is proph-

esying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is

teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then

give generously; if it is to lead do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

(Romans 12:5-8)

We currently have a teaching position open in 3rd grade. Mrs. Amezaga has agreed to fill the position as the long-term substitute as we look to move forward with finding a permanent replace-ment. Please send any inquiries or interested indi-viduals to the school office.

As we move forward in this school year, we continue to focus on our theme verse, Proverbs 3:5-6, and Trust God with all our heart.

In Christ,

Derek Blessing

Every morning in our

classrooms the children sing the

following song:

“Good Morning Lord!”

Good morning, Lord!

It’s a beautiful day!

Good morning, Lord!

I’m going your way!

Open my eyes and help me see,

someone who needs a friend

like me!

I know that I can surely be loving,

caring, always sharing.

Good morning Lord! It’s a beautiful day!

In this song we are teaching the children

to acknowledge God every day and to help us be

a friend by being loving, caring and sharing to-

wards one another. This song goes along with

our school’s theme Bible Verse Proverbs 3:5-6.

We are teaching the children that there

are many different ways to show how we can

love, care and share. This last month we showed

how much we care for and love others by holding

a Bike-A-Thon for St. Jude Children’s Hospital

and collecting our Chapel Offering for Vegas

Strong Resiliency Center.

In class, the children also learn that by

working side by side with

one another they are learn-

ing to be loving, caring and

always sharing as well. We

are learning to become re-

sponsible for our actions to-

wards each other, as we ask

God to open our eyes and

help us see how we treat

others.

It is only by welcom-

ing God into our day that we

can truly acknowledge Him.

LWML District President, Nila Rodriguez and our

District Counsellors, Pastors Ramon Contreras,

Tim Jenks’ participation promoted a joyful atmos-

phere for all attending ladies of all ages. One of

the things that made this Retreat so special was

that we were finally able to assemble in person as

we had to reschedule it from its original March

date. Thanks be to God.

So, as we go forward in 2021, we have

been blessed with another sewing session for our

mission outreach. We pray that our LWML will

grow and continue to be an integral part of mis-

sionary service as we look to the Zone’s Fall Cel-

ebration theme of HOPE. “Let us hold unswerv-

ingly to the hope we profess for he who promised

is faithful” (Heb.10:23, NIV). By the time you re-

ceive this writing, this event will have been held,

Also, on the same evening of Saturday, October

23, the Local LWML will have provided snacks for

the “Trunk ‘n’ Treat” Harvest Festival. A very busy

day!

Below are the overall Lutheran Women’s Mission-

ary League events coming soon:

• Crafts Fair and Bake Sale, Saturday, Novem-

ber 6 “Craftabulous Christmas”

• LWML Christmas Potluck, December date,

time and place, TBD

• Prayer and Praise Service, Lamb of God,

Lake Havasu, AZ, Feb. 26, 2022

Again, Lamb of God, we give thanks for

your ongoing generous support of Mites for Mis-

sion Grants on our Purple Pail Sundays as we

“serve the Lord with gladness”.

Blessings to all for a happy Thanksgiving!

Jacqui Bransdon, LWML Vice President,

GIVING THANKS:

It’s a wonderful idea that the

National LWML has institut-

ed, in zeroing in on certain

Mission Grants for special

giving emphasis in a particu-

lar month; our own Zone’s

Nancy Heredia recently sent

us a mite-giving calendar

idea for our adoption if we

choose to use it. These ideas

help all of us to be more at-

tentive to our mites for Mission Grants. On the Lo-

cal front, we showcase a special Mission Project

on the third Sunday of the month (Purple Pail Sun-

day) to encourage our mite-giving within our own

congregation. These ideas of giving reminders

allow us all to be mindful of and a part of the giv-

ing process and our Lutheran Women’s Mission

League truly gives thanks to all contributors.

The month of November tends to bring to

mind so many thoughts of stewardship, not just

because we celebrate our National Holiday of

Thanksgiving, but we are also reminded of the

service of giving to help others who are in need.

This year seems to be moving very fast as on the

heels of Thanksgiving we are looking at the end of

the Church Year and into the season of Advent.

Before moving ahead, the month of Octo-

ber was ushered in by our Pacific Southwest Dis-

trict LWML Retreat held here in Las Vegas and we

were so blessed to be able to gather at the Hamp-

ton Inn and to greet and meet each other in per-

son. Our Guest Speaker, Karol Selle presented

her own missionary message to us through our

theme from Isaiah 6:8c (NIV), “Here Am I, Send

Me!” We also received in our packets the wonder-

ful gift of her book “A Missionary? Me?” Our Chair-

man, Bonnie Karch along with our music-makers

Erik and Sandi Ohman of our congregation truly

were assets to this wonderful and blessed event.

Christian Life

In the Word Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from

the belly of the fish, saying, “I called out to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me

…” (Jonah 2:1–2a).

Of the Word It’s never a good thing when your run ends in the belly of a big fish. How, you may be won-dering, would that ever happen? Just ask Jo-

nah (see Jonah 1:15–17). Unfortunately, unlike other runners you read about in Scripture, Jo-nah decided to run away from God. Jonah did

not want to preach repentance and extend God’s mercy to Nineveh. So, he ran away —

and ended up in the big fish. Fortunately, there is no place to run that is out of God’s reach. God dealt with Jonah in the big

fish’s belly, and God will meet you wherever you are as well. Let Jonah remind you there is

no place you can run to be away from God. And also be reminded that there is no end to

God’s loving patience, mercy, and forgiveness as He deals with His precious people.

Walking with my Lord

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your patience, mercy, and forgiveness. Help me to seek You

and Your will instead of running away from You to do my own will. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Unlikely siblings become a co-hesive family which included Keira, a 12-year old girl, Callie, a 26-year old young lady and Malcomb, their 34-year old brother. Grandfather Alberto Carlesso (now a business tycoon of Italian foods Alberto Alfresco in Seat-tle Washington) was the father of only one son, Jerry who sired the three

aforementioned children at various times in his life, but never was the father they all needed. Malcomb’s mother was the only woman Jerry married, yet Mal-comb was never a part of his father’s life due to his father’s lack of interest.

Two years after Jerry’s death, Grandfather Alberto finally decided to go through his son’s papers and found out there were two other children, Keira and Callie by other women. So, at the ripe old age of 82, Grandfather Alberto decided it was time to bring the family together and under his roof. Until then, Malcomb was the only one he knew and had the op-portunity to love.

As the story unfolds, we meet Callie, a re-formed felon and Keira who had been tossed around through the system after her mother died. Like Keira, Callie’s mother who had loved her dearly, had also passed away. What seemed impossible, ended up being a very heart-warming account of the unlikely relationships, with side stories weaved in to make it quite a thriller.

Readers, you will be taken in by the twists and turns of this family drama, unable to put it down.

Come join us on Saturday November 13th at 10:00am in Fellowship 2 when we will discuss Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell. All are welcome to be part of this little group of avid readers who meet once a month to dissect and critique our book of the month. Our selected readings for the next 3 months are:
