Prepare in Peace for the Prince of Peace By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on

high will break upon us, to give light to those who sit

in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our

feet into the way of peace.” Luke 1:78-78

By Pastor Gayle Pope

As I thought

about an

Advent theme

for this year,

we were in the

middle of a

contentious

national

election that

promised to

culminate in

anything but peace. God’s Word is full of promises

and declarations of peace, I thought. Maybe it would

be good to reflect on God’s peace as we prepare for

the coming of the Prince of Peace.

The important thing to recognize about God’s peace is

that it is different from earthly peace. The night before

he died a violent death, Jesus said to his disciples,

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do

not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your

hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”

The peace Jesus brings is peace with God. Colossians

1:20 says, “through him, God was pleased to reconcile

to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by

making peace through the blood of his cross.”

Our Advent daily devotional and our Wednesday

Advent Evening Prayer services will help us reflect on

God’s Way of Peace. May we be drawn to our Savior

to receive peace with God, and then, filled with God’s

peace, may we become vessels of that peace in the

world, through our words and deeds.

Advent Daily Devotional

Our 2016 Advent Daily Devotional, “The Way of

Peace,” has one entry for each day from Nov. 27

through Dec. 25, written by members of Christ

Lutheran and Luther Memorial Churches. Many,

many thanks to all

who participated!

Copies are

available on the

narthex table and

will be posted on

our website daily.

If you can’t get to

church and would

like a booklet

mailed or

delivered to you, contact our secretary Bree Roberts at

217-224-1624 or [email protected].

Advent Evening Prayer Services

We will again use the “Holden Evening Prayer”

setting for our midweek services on Nov. 30, Dec. 7

and Dec. 14. Worship will begin at 6:30 p.m. at

Christ Lutheran and last from 30 to 45 minutes.

Each service will include a scripture and reflection,

given by Pastor Tony Metz (Nov. 30), Pastor Gayle

Give a “Good Gift” for Christmas ELCA Good Gifts are a meaningful way to honor

loved ones with gifts that grow the church, fight

hunger and transform lives. Copies of the “Good

Gifts” catalog are available in the narthex, or you can

go on-line at community.elca.org/elcagoodgifts.

The items in the “Good Gifts” catalog are examples of

work being done in projects and programs supported

by funds from the ELCA. Your gifts will be combined

with the gifts of others to fund areas of work related to

your selection (e.g. international emergencies, health

care, sustainable development, etc.) so that your

donation has the greatest impact.

The ELCA’s approach to ministry starts with

listening. After local congregations and global

companions identify local needs, the ELCA partners

with them as they develop local solutions. As a long-

standing, unwavering presence in nearly 90 countries,

including the United States, the ELCA steers clear of

“one-size-fits-all” answers and has enormous respect

for local context, local expertise and local ingenuity.

They are good stewards of your resources, holding

administrative costs at less than 10 percent – among

the lowest of other organizations doing similar work.

Winter Clothing Sought

for Veterans in Need By Jim Hobbins

As an ongoing personal ministry

I have been collecting clothing

and other personal items for homeless

veterans for the past ten years and

would like to begin the same process at Christ

Lutheran. The clothing would be distributed through

licensed groups already involved in Veterans matters,

such as the Salvation Army and TriState Warrior

group, and would benefit LOCAL veterans of all

conflicts from WWII forward.

Congregants are asked to provide used but

clean/serviceable items such as winter sweaters, coats,

gloves and outerwear shoes and boots. Both male and

female clothing would be welcomed and appreciated.

In addition, personal grooming items such as used but

serviceable electric razors, would also find a happy

home. Suitable boxes clearly marked for same will be

available at the church.

Please bring items by Sunday Dec 11, for delivery the

next day.

December Food Gifts Go to the

Salvation Army By Sue Hobbins

The Salvation Army Food

Pantry will be the recipient of

our gifts in December. Each

month of 2016 you have

faithfully purchased and given food for a pantry.

Helping to feed the hungry in our community is one

way we can support our neighbors. We all know that a

healthy diet pays dividends in many ways. The child

who consumes a healthy, balanced diet will do better

in school. A healthy adult misses fewer days of work

or is able to look for work. An elderly person who is

healthy spends less for medicine and can continue

working, volunteering and living in their own home.

Your gifts mean so much more than a full stomach.

Thank you for your continued sharing with the hungry

and needy in our community.

1. Protein items (includes baked beans, chili beans)

2. Canned meats (chicken, tuna)

3. Canned meals or boxed meals (chili, stew, mac

and cheese, meals with all the ingredients in them)

4. Macaroni & cheese, spaghetti & spaghetti sauce

5. Soups, especially chicken noodle & vegetable

6. Canned fruit and vegetables

7. Nuts (especially English walnuts, dry roasted

almonds, peanuts)

8. Bisquick (or similar mixes that make a variety of

dishes with little or no additional ingredients)

9. Fresh apples, potatoes

10. Small boxes of powdered milk & canned,

evaporated milk

11. Dry cereals

12. Paper products (toilet tissue, facial tissue, diapers)

13. Laundry detergent

14. Deodorant, shampoo, toilet soap

15. Cleaning products

16. Hotel size soaps, shampoos, lotions, etc.

17. Baby care products and baby food

Annual Meeting Announced Our 2017 annual congregational meeting will be on

Sunday, Jan. 29 following our 9:30 church service.

Elections will be held for five open positions on the

church council and the 2017 budget will be submitted

for approval. Officers and committee chairs are asked

to have their reports for the Annual Report to the

church secretary by Jan. 10. On Sunday, Jan. 22, the

report will be available at worship for all to pick up.

Nominating Committee

Those elected at our last annual meeting to serve on

the 2015-2016 Nominating Committee are Judy

Heilmann, Beth Katenin, Jim Trutwin, Alan

Steigelman and Stuart Peters. They will be seeking

four individuals to nominate for three-year terms on

the council, and one to fill the one-year unexpired

term of Kathy Wolters. They will also nominate

people to serve on next year’s Nominating

Committee. The committee will hold its first meeting

soon.

Worship Ministry Team

Busy on Several Fronts By Bonnie Scranton, Worship Team Chair

This is a very busy season for the Worship Ministry

Team (WMT)! Much of our November monthly

meeting was spent reviewing all of the tasks that need

to be completed in preparation for Advent, Christmas

Eve, and Christmas Day worship services. There are a

myriad of details to take care of to ensure that your

worship experience is both positive and meaningful.

For those of you who attended the stewardship

celebration after worship on Nov. 13, you may have

noticed the chart by the WMT table. Worship

involves almost 3,000 volunteer hours per year.

When we talk about sharing our time & talents,

worship is certainly a biggy!!

We will continue to need some of your time & talent

as we enter into the Christmas season. There will be

plenty of opportunity in December to help decorate

the sanctuary, serve as a worship leader in any of eight

worship services (including Wednesday evening

Advent services), help change banners and paraments,

welcome our holiday visitors, or just pitch in wherever

it looks like someone might need help.

And while this is being read after Thanksgiving, I

want to close this report by expressing my sincere

thanks to everyone who helps with worship. In

particular I want to thank our Worship Ministry Team

members for all the hard work they do all year long.

They are an awesome group and I am blessed to be

able to serve as their chairperson. Please give these

folks a pat on the back next time you see them: Joan

Larner, Judy Wegehenkel, Matt Futhey, Sue Hobbins,

Sue Reeder, & Pastor Gayle! May you all have a very

Blessed Christmas!

Editor’s Note: Bonnie is having hip replacement

surgery Nov. 30. Please pray for her swift healing.

Bonnie looks after so many aspects of our worship,

including making sure we have all the volunteers in

place. Please make an extra effort in December to

sign up on the Worship Assistant chart. We still have

several open spots on the December chart!

Mission Endowment Fund an Option for

Year-End Giving By Charlie Bach

“Did You Know” is a monthly column

by our Endowment Fund Committee

describing various aspects of the Fund

and how members may contribute to it.

As the year end approaches, the Mission Endowment

committee request that you consider a tax-deductible

donation to the Mission Endowment fund. Please

donate first to the Lord’s work in the everyday

operation of our church. The endowment is a way to

continue the work of Christ Lutheran Church for the

long term. Talk to the Mission Endowment committee

if you have questions about a donation or want

additional information. For more information on the

Endowment Fund, contact any of the committee

members.

WORSHIP IN DECEMBER

Advent Wreath Lighting

Every Sunday in Advent one of our

church families will light the Advent

wreath at the beginning of worship

and lead us in meditating on the

symbolism of each candle: Hope, Peace, Joy and

Love. The first two Sundays will be done by the

Wingerter and Goings families.

Dec. 4: Hanging of the Greens

Pastor Jim Trutwin will preside and preach at our

service on Dec. 4, as Pastor Gayle is on vacation.

Everyone is invited to stay after worship for “Hanging

of the Greens.” We’ll eat together after we get the

church decorated for Advent and Christmas. The

Fellowship Team will provide soup and others are

asked to bring a side or dessert. The Coffee Hour

group for this Sunday (Group 4) is asked to help with

serving and clean-up.

Dec. 18: Choir Cantata

On Sunday, Dec. 18, our 9:30 service will incorporate

a performance of “A Christmas Carol in Bethlehem,”

by our choir and Sunday School children, with Terry

Pope playing the role of Scrooge and Julie and Jerry

Spurgeon as the Cratchetts. (We last performed this in

2011.) We will begin the

service with the Advent Wreath

lighting and the cantata will be

followed by prayers, offering

and Holt Communion.

“A Christmas Carol in

Bethlehem” is based upon the

story by Charles Dickens,

adapted and arranged by Anna

Laura Page and Jean Anne

Shafferman. In this delightful

adaptation, Scrooge is the

Bethlehem Innkeeper who refuses shelter to Mary and

Joseph on that cold first Christmas night. When God

sends an angel to Scrooge, the wretched man

gradually realizes that he has traded his soul for gold.

His final redemption reflects the promise of salvation

for all in the birth of Emmanuel, God with us.

Christmas Worship Saturday, Dec. 24, Christmas Eve Service

Our traditional Christmas Eve candlelight service

with Holy Communion will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Saturday, Dec. 24. Amy Stollberg will grace us

with a solo of “O Holy Night,” and of course we

will join together in singing “Silent Night” once

all our candles are lit. Plan to attend, and

remember, it’s always a good time to invite

someone to church!

Sunday, Dec. 25, Christmas Day Service Since Christmas Day falls on a Sunday this year,

we will worship as usual at 9:30 a.m. Jim Hobbins

will treat us to a solo with his wonderful bass

voice. There will be no Fellowship Hour after

church.

BRIEFLY . . .

Our sympathy goes to David Moore in the

death of his husband Jim Donovan on Tuesday,

Nov. 15. Jim’s funeral was held at Christ Lutheran

church on Nov. 17.

Connie Hornsey is happy to report that Christ

Lutheran contributed 19 shoeboxes to the

Operation Christmas Child worldwide

evangelism program. Our area director, Mary

Shelor, drove a truck containing almost 5,000

boxes to the collection center in Jacksonville.

Thanks so much for all of the church members

who participated! Our boxes will go to spread the

good news of our Savior to the children in Africa.

Conny Bakker and Keith Gerhardt are getting

married at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 1 (Yes, New

Year’s Day!). Conny says everyone will be invited

to the service here at Christ Lutheran.

From Jim Hobbins: Thanks so much for the

many 90th BDay messages sent via social media. I

am so blessed that my meager offerings have been

so well received. Which, by the way, reminds me

of a funny story about a Lutheran pastor,

Episcopal bishop and a Jewish Rabbi. It seems

they went into a…

ELCA Youth Gathering

announces 2018 theme The theme for the 2018 ELCA

Youth Gathering is “This

Changes Everything,” and

the primary Scripture will

be Ephesians 2:8: “For by

grace you have been saved

through faith, and this is not

your own doing; it is the gift

of God.” The new logo is a visual representation of

the theme and the experience of the Gathering, and the

cross at the center is the focus – it is God's grace,

through Christ's life, death and resurrection – that

changes everything for all people.
