Happy Holiday Bake Sale! Many thanks to all who supported WPLC Helping Hand Fund by shopping at the bake sale on Dec. 9th. It was great to see everyone’s oohs and aahs at the many colorful bakery items and gi"s which were for sale. Huge thanks to the bakers: Pat Suderland, Sharon Hause, Karon Hedlof, and Marg Groff (the krumkakas/rose$es maker) and other helpers. The sale raised $984 a"er expenses. The Ladies of WPLC’s Cookie Coffee Hour on Dec. 9th provided a great array of Christmas cookies to enjoy with coffee or punch. A number of people enjoyed the Christmas Punch and asked for the recipe. Here it is:

Christmas Punch 1 bo$le of Ocean Spray Cranberry Raspberry Juice (we used diet) 1/2 large can of pineapple juice 1/2 2-liter bo$le of ginger ale (we used diet) 1/2 2-liter bo$le of 7-up or sweet soda (we used diet 7-up) Ice (Our pink ice cubes were made from Ocean Spray’s Lite Cranberry Juice)

Church Decora&ng for Advent & Christmas: A huge Thank You! to Terry & Pa* Sparacino, Pat Suderland and her granddaughter Courtney, and Sharon Hause for pu*ng up the Christmas decora&ons on Dec. 1st and also placing the beau&ful poinse*as on Dec. 15th. The poinse*as were placed in special tribute or remembrance by our church members during this special &me of year.

P+-036+; V<-<0+0<3= Dear Church Family…I have a special request to ask of you: if you are sick (whether at home or in the hospital) and would like a Pastoral visit, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I’m not one to make excuses, however I will say that my call as the solo pastor of our congrega&on pulls me in a variety of direc&ons on any given day, and I’m not always cognizant of the folks who aren’t at worship each week. I try very hard to keep track of everyone, but the reality is that this is not always possible. If you are unable to contact the church, or me directly, please have a rela&ve, friend or fellow church member contact me about your situa&on. It is my great honor and privilege to serve you in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, however if I am unaware of a need, I cannot work to help serve that need. Thank you and God bless, Pr. Michael

Monday, February 11, 2019, 7:00 pm Book Discussion: Paris by the Book by Liam Calahan When eccentric novelist Robert Eady abruptly vanishes, he leaves behind his wife, Leah, their daughters, and, hidden in an unexpected spot, plane &ckets to Paris. Hoping to uncover clues--and her husband--Leah sets off for France with her girls. Upon their arrival, she discovers an unfinished manuscript, one Robert had been wri&ng without her knowledge and that he had set in Paris. The Eady girls follow the path of the manuscript to a small, floundering English-language bookstore whose weary proprietor is eager to sell. Leah finds herself accep&ng the offer on the spot. As the family se$les into their new Parisian life, they trace the literary paths of some beloved Parisian classics, including Madeline and The Red Balloon, hoping more clues arise. But a series of startling discov-eries forces Leah to consider that she may not be ready for what solving this mystery might do to her family--and the Paris she thought she knew.

All is calm, all is bright. Celebrate the 200th anniversary of Silent Night this Christmas 2018

On a quiet Christmas Eve in a snowy Austrian village, our most beloved Christmas carol was born 200 years ago. The collabora&on of Joseph Mohr, with the text that he had penned 2 years prior, and a simple melody from his friend and colleague, Franz Gruber, created a magical moment in music history. Gruber quickly wrote the melody and guitar accompaniment for Mohr’s 6 original verses in German to create a carol that would speak to the hearts of the rural villagers on that blessed Christmas Eve night. Recent finds have authen&cated the date, authorship, and &ming of the carol so that we can confidently celebrate this music milestone. So this Christmas Eve, whether you are at Whitnall Park Lutheran Church celebra&ng the coming of Christ on Christmas Eve or maybe you are at your family’s home church where you are visi&ng and celebra&ng, remember 200 years ago Silent Night was first sung by many that had no idea what this song would mean to so many across the world and in many different languages other than German. May you have a blessed Christmas and sing the songs you grew up with.

God definitely has a sense of humor. When I began this LEAF ar&cle last week, I was si*ng at my kitchen table looking out at gray skies and sleet. I was thinking of the words to, “In the bleak mid-winter . . .” which opens the Milwaukee Rep’s version of Dickens “Christmas Carol”.

The weather certainly was appropriate to the song, and January o"en is the bleak mid-winter. Today as I am finishing my ar&cle, it is a sunny crisp day in Wisconsin, and it seems like the beau&ful beginning of winter.

I don’t know what the weather is going to be like when you read this, but the song speaks of snow on snow, water like a stone, and the earth as hard as iron. That pre$y much describes winter in Wisconsin.

Yet Jesus came in the bleak mid-winter, and as the song says to a stable to a very young mother and an inexperi-enced father. He was given gi"s by shepherds and by kings, gi"s that few of us could match.

Some Chris&ans celebrate his birth on Dec. 25, some on Jan. 6. We refer to the la$er day as Epiphany, and our tree stays up at least un&l then. Growing up, I knew it just as Uncle Dan’s birthday, and this year is par&cularly bi$ersweet because my Uncle Dan has died, and Jan. 6 has new meaning. Now we celebrate Epiphany.

It is the day to celebrate the coming of the Magi, and in some churches it signifies the bap&sm of Jesus. It also signals the end of the 12 days of Christmas and the beginning of the new church year.

As we celebrate the bleak mid-winter, we think of the final verse of the song—“What can I give him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; if I were a wise man I would do my part, yet what I can I give him—give him my heart.

Even today most of us have an abundance, my 26 tubs of Christmas decora&ons tell me that. Yet, God does not ask for anything but our hearts—just as He did when He sent his only Son—in the bleak mid-winter long, long ago.

******

As you are wri&ng your New Year’s Resolu&ons, perhaps one could be teaching Sunday School this year. Six slots s&ll remain open on our poster.

Thanks to all of the families who did such a great job sharing the Advent litany and the ligh&ng of the Advent wreath with us this year. Thanks to all of the church “decorators” and all those who keep our church looking so welcoming. Thanks to all of the musicians and the directors who make this season beau&ful.

Thanks especially to the new Christmas program directors who took my script, enhanced it and sent a wonderful message to the Sunday School children and to the congrega&on.

Thanks to all of you who share your hard work in service to others and who generously give of your hearts.

To all of you, a blessed New Year!

We have put another holiday Toy Collec&on and Veteran’s Wish List Collec&on behind us. A huge “Thank You” to those who generously donated gi"s. To say that we had another successful year would definitely be an understatement. Not only were all of the veteran’s wishes granted, but we ran out of room in the Toy Box! Thank you for con&nuing this great Christmas tradi&on with me. I hope you joined us on December 16th for our Sunday School Christmas Program during the 10:15 worship service. Fellowship and refreshments were held downstairs in Hibbard Hall. Thank you to all for a wonderful program. Reminder: December 23 – NO SUNDAY SCHOOL December 30 - NO SUNDAY SCHOOL We return to Sunday school on January 6th. We will be con&nuing our Route 66 journey through the Bible, as we study the books of 1st & 2nd Chronicles, 1st & 2nd Kings and Ezra. May God’s love light your way And lead you into a new year That shines with His special joy. Happy New Year! Kelly Brown, Sunday School Superintendent

The Trinity Snowman

When you see a snowman Three snowballs round,

He is reminding you That in God, Three in One are found.

The bottom reminds us of God the Father, Our strong rock and foundation. The creator of all living things. People, tribes, and nations.

The middle shows us God the Son With His arms spread open wide.

Who died on the cross for each of us. Our sins Jesus’ blood did hide.

The head reminds us of God the Holy Spirit. Who is our counselor and friend,

He speaks to our hearts and minds Transforming us in the likeness of Him.

So when you see a snowman, In the midst of all the wintertime fun,

Listen carefully and he’ll tell you, “Remember God is Three in One”.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

In early September, it was decided that our communion prac&ces should change. When I started my tenure as the Pastor of WPLC, the church would have communion on the first and third Sundays of the month, and on Fes&val Sundays. Our ELCA policy (as spelled out in the document, “The Use of the Means of Grace”) states that every ELCA church will have communion every Sunday; not necessarily at every service, but every Sunday. This had been my policy, up un&l that fateful day in September when I was leading a service that didn’t have communion and I felt like we were missing out on one of God’s greatest gi"s. From that point on, we have had Holy Communion at every service, whether at the rail or by in&nc&on.

Right at that same &me, I received a le$er from the Greater Milwaukee Synod of the ELCA which answered some o"en-asked ques&ons surrounding communion. I want to share this with you so you can gain a li$le more background as to why we do what we do regarding the Sacrament.

1. Why can only ordained pastors preside at Holy Communion? Since the eucharist belongs not to any one congrega&on but to the en&re Church, those who are ordained best represent the interconnec&ons we have to the Church Universal.

2. If a pastor is going to be absent for a given worship service, why can’t they just consecrate the bread and wine in advance or use the remaining elements from the previous service? While some Chris&an tradi&ons have an understanding of a reserved sacrament, o"en held in a tabernacle for future consump&on, Lutherans refrain from such an understanding. The general advice is that any bread and wine le" over a"er a eucharis&c service is to be consumed or disposed of immediately.

3. What about bringing communion to the homebound? Congrega&ons o"en extend their weekly table by bringing the communion elements to those who are ill or homebound, and this distribu&on is o"en done by trained laypeople. This prac&ce does not apply to holding over the elements for next Sunday’s regular service.

4. Why can’t interns or other seminarians preside at the table? There have been situa&ons in which an intern is serving as the primary pastoral leader for an extended period of &me and they have been granted status as a Synodically Authorized Minister. In general, however, interns are not yet authorized by the church to be ministers of Word and Sacrament. This occurs when they have completed their prepara&on, been approved for ordina&on, and have received and accepted a regular call.

5. If a layperson can’t preside at the table, why can they preach from the pulpit? While some laypeople are invited to preach the sermon during Sunday worship and at other &mes, we would encourage all pastors to exercise care in their oversight of the preaching ministry in the congrega&on, helping to prepare and support any lay leaders invited to proclaim the Gospel.

The celebra&on of Holy Communion is something that I take very seriously and hold it very close to my heart as an Ordained Minister. It is the gi" of God in the body and blood of Jesus Christ that blesses us with life, peace, hope and everything that our good and gracious Lord sees that we need for a life lived in Him. As we receive this gi", we receive the living Word of God!

God’s peace and blessings be with you always,

Pr. Michael
