The Moment itself is beautiful! “Be still, and know that I am God!” Psalm 46:10
This past month I was reading an interview with
musician Peter Mayer. Mayer is both a secular and
Christian artist and at one point the interviewer was
asking a question about how a musician can
possibly find new life in the same old songs,
especially when you play them over and over again.
I found Peter Mayer’s answer to be extremely
moving and challenging at the same time as he
connected music and scripture together. “When you
are in the moment, with Jimmy [Buffett] onstage, it
has to be new. And that’s the beauty of Scripture
too. When it is taken and applied and lived [out] in
your life, it just has to be new. That’s God’s word
among us. So when I’m playing “Margaritaville”—
and that’s a whole lot of [the chord] D—in the
moment, complexity doesn’t have anything to do
with beauty. The moment itself is beautiful because
it’s passing, and we are meant to live it. So when I
live that D, I just try to be right there in the moment
making the best D I can play.” (October 10, 2019.)
“The moment itself is beautiful because it’s passing,
and we are meant to live it.” This little statement hit
me like a ton of bricks and caused me to stop and
reflect. Do I understand each moment to be beautiful
or do I try and rush through the moments in my life
to get to something else? Goal setting is great.
Having a plan to follow is often very important. But
I wonder if sometimes in our efforts to ‘arrive’ we
forget to see the wonder in the journey itself.
Having done many years of youth ministry and
logged thousands of miles on youth trips I know
firsthand that the greatest ministry and impact you
often have on the lives of kids is not the actual event
itself, but the time it took to get there! Once while
traveling in the midst of rural Utah one of our
vehicles suffered a near cataclysmic failure. It
meant a complete disruption in our plans and it was,
to be honest, quite stressful. Taking stock of the
situation I came to the conclusion that the most
important thing we could do with the kids in that
moment was walk to Dairy Queen and eat ice
cream! Then we went to a park and played a game.
Afterwards one of the youths came up to me and
said, “I don’t understand. When everything was
going so bad, why didn’t you yell and get mad? I
didn’t know it was ok not to get angry.”
It was a powerful reminder to me of the importance
of each and every moment—as an opportunity to
actually live out the faith we proclaim. Thanks to the
Holy Spirit, I somehow had the strength and courage
to see the beauty in the moment, even if the moment
also carried with it concerns and challenges.
As we enter this time of Thanksgiving, I encourage
you to see the beauty in the moments that God has
given you. I am not naïve; I know that often life
brings stressful and anxious times; but I wonder if
there isn’t also beauty within. As we get inundated
with bad news and political spin that is meant to rile
us up—perhaps we need to focus on the beauty that
surrounds us as well. It reminds me of the often-
quoted advice that Mr. Rogers gave in regard to
helping children in the midst of disasters or tragic
events. “When I was a boy and I would see scary
things in the news, my mother would say to me,
‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people
who are helping.’”
Here’s to making the most of each and every
moment. Be thankful. Be generous. Be kind. Be
open. Be loving. Be on the look-out for the beauty
that God has given you, right now!
Peace!

16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him… 19 Then he [Jesus] said to him,
“Rise and go; your faith has made you well.” - Luke 17:16a, 19
Pastor Jeff preached on this Scripture in October. I am so thankful for Pastor Jeff for many, many reasons - not the least
of which are his wonderful sermons each Sunday. In his sermon, he highlighted the end of verse 19. To paraphrase, the
point that Pastor Jeff made was that although Jesus healed 10 lepers, he only told the one who returned to say “thank
you” that he was “well”.
well·ness /ˈwelnəs/ noun
noun: wellness 1. the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal.
"measures of a patient's progress toward wellness"
I Googled “Wellness” and came up with 1,470,000,000 results in 0.66 seconds). If there are over a billion “hits” on
Google, it must be important, right? Of course it is! We all want to be well. With the Thanksgiving holiday
approaching, we would do well to copy that 10th leper in being thankful and expressing our thanks for all the good (and
even the bad) in our lives. Thank you, Pastor Jeff, for your wonderful teaching (and for all the other gifts you bring to
our church).
What are some other ways for us to “be well”? The “Global Wellness Institute” lists the following “wellness
dimensions”:
Physical: A healthy body through exercise, nutrition, sleep, etc.
Mental: Engagement with the world through learning, problem-solving, creativity, etc.
Emotional: Being in touch with, aware of, accepting of, and able to express one’s feelings (and those of others).
Spiritual: Our search for meaning and purpose in human existence.
Social: Connecting with, interacting with, and contributing to other people and our communities.
Environmental: A healthy physical environment free of hazards; awareness of the role we play in bettering rather
than denigrating the natural environment.
As I read this list, it occurred to me that we can get each of these dimensions fulfilled by being active in our church. The
OWLS (Older Wiser Lutherans) offer an opportunity to get physical at their walk each Tuesday morning. Singing in the
choir, Bible Study, book studies, Sunday services provide opportunities for mental engagement. The Our Savior’s
Lutheran Church Mission Statement reinforces our emotional wellness by inspiring us to love and encouraging us to
think. Spiritual - come to church and hear the message. Social - come to church and worship with our community.
Environmental wellness is our care for God’s creation. Dennis and Heidi recycle our used bulletins each week. We use
environmentally responsible materials for our hospitality. Can you think of other ways we can be more responsible?

Youth and Children’s Ministry
by Bob Cooper - Director of Youth and Children’s Ministries
The “Jan Brady” of Holidays
Here we are in November, the month in which we are
reminded to “count our blessings”. With Halloween
candy still a lingering temptation and Christmas
decorations dominating the retail world I would like
to take a moment to be thankful, thankful for the
wonderful life that our gracious God has allowed me
to have. Thankful for the people that have been put in
my life to support me, challenge me, and love me,
thankful in the knowledge that even if all of these
things are taken away from me that I will never walk
without the unconditional love and mercy of almighty
God. But those are the big things, I also love to find
the smaller things to be thankful for such as:
I flipped on the light switch and the light came on
I turned on the shower and hot water came out
I opened the refrigerator and it was cold inside
I opened a can of peaches and there were peaches
inside
My car still had air in all four tires and started
right up
I arrived to work without incident
Look, my computer has not crashed!
You see? The list is much larger than might be at first
apparent, if we just look we can be constantly
grateful! As I tell the kids, “the problem we have with
God is not that he is so far away that we can’t see
him, it’s that he is so close that we overlook him”
I’ll be seeing the power of our gracious God on full
display in the month of November as the preschool
choir “Messy Blessings” joins our Celebration
Singers for a Veteran’s Day tribute. We will also be
going with 300 or so of our middle school friends to
the annual Synod Middle School Youth Gathering
held at the Anaheim Sheraton later in the month.
So let’s remember to be grateful as the “Middle
Child” holiday (wedged in between Halloween and
Christmas) seeks to keep us in a state of gratitude for
all of the blessings we have to be thankful for.
God’s Grateful Servant,
Bob Cooper

to collecting NEW athletic

distributed at FAM’s annual Christmas party on
Saturday, December 14, which means we MUST have
all shoes by Wednesday, December 11. You may
choose a tag from the tree or simply purchase a pair of
sneakers Child Size 5 – Adult Size 7 and bring to the
narthex. We especially need shoes for elementary boys
and girls. Our goal is 200 pairs of shoes, and FAM is so
appreciative of our dedication to this project every year.
Invite your family and friends to contribute a pair of
sneakers. We can’t have too many!
This project requires many volunteers on the day of the party: deliver shoes to the community center, set-up the
shoe store, assist children with trying on shoes and tear-down at the end of the party. Watch for a Sign-Up
Genius email if you would like to help. It is a fun and joyful event and you will be rewarded with lots of
smiles! If you have questions, please contact Linda Howard, [email protected] or

COUNCIL NOTES
H appy November Everybody! We are
definitely into the Church Council busy
season!
We have Reformation Sunday with our famous
Bratwurst sandwiches and also we have Yellow
Tail fish (so…YUM).
We have our Trick or Trunk (so… Yummier).
Stewardship campaign will be in high gear
(Tithing is your best option here).
Quilts and Health kits have been boxed up and
delivered to Lutheran Social Services to be
dispersed in the world (boxes filled with comfort
and love).
Buildings and Grounds is a year round event
(Chuck Simon is the Man!)
Sunday School is growing each week (give them
candy and they will come).
Youth is constantly in motion and have a new
youth room in the 300 building (try to keep up).
Everything that happens here at Our Savior’s is
through the time and talents of many. Your church
council, although to most is running in the
background as a well oiled machine is actually a
group of Christ centered, fun loving, joke telling,
Church loving folks who help each other out and
discuss the options (donut gate was very intense) for
all of us to have an awesome place to worship and
have fellowship.
Respectfully Submitted by,
M’Liz Kelly, Council Secretary
Blessing of the Animals! What a great opportunity to bless and give thanks for
our pets and to gather as different faith traditions
here in San Clemente.

November 2019 - Preschool News
Thanks so much to everyone who helped with the
Outlets of San Clemente Shopping Extravaganza by
either volunteering to work the event or purchasing a
ticket and shopping. Our Savior’s made a profit of
$1,450.00. It was a really fun day to be out in the
community and talk to all the great people who
stopped by our table. We donated ChapStick with
our logo on it for the goody bag and people stopped
by just to thank us for that!
We also had a great Preschool Sunday and are so
grateful to all the preschool families who attended.
We have almost 40 children in our children’s choir –
Messy Blessings that we started this year. It is a
blessing to hear the children sing.
In November the preschoolers will be focusing on
language and we participate in Read for the Record
day which is the world’s largest shared reading
experience. Children all over the world will be
reading Thank You, Omu!
The preschool will have a craft table at Trick or
Trunk and each of the classrooms will have a
decorated car. The event is not just for kids. We
hope you can come and enjoy the fun.
We started a two year old class in October and are
now using all six preschool classrooms. We are
filled with gratitude for all the many blessings that
have been given to our preschool.
Blessings,
Joan
