This is the last of the newsletter series on praying the Lord’s
Prayer in a contemplative manner. Remember, praying
contemplatively means to take a small piece of scripture (like a
line from the Lord’s Prayer) and just mull it over, focusing
solely on it. When you find you mind wandering, just come
back to that original piece and begin again. You might say it
aloud, or imagine it written in front of you. Your mind WILL
wander, but don’t beat yourself up; just come back to the
original thought.

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us…
Now is the perfect time to think about forgiveness.
Forgiveness is one of those words we think we know what it
means until someone asks us to explain it. We might ask
ourselves what it looks like when God forgives us. Does that
look like the sort of forgiveness we give to others? Ought it?
What does it mean that this is the only line of this prayer that
speaks to what we are obliged to do? Our forgiving and God’s
forgiving are linked in some way—what way?
Is it as
straightforward as we might first think?
And lead us not into temptation...
Biblically speaking, God does not lead us into temptation,
Satan does, but Satan obtains permission from God before
doing so. (See Job 1 and Luke 22:31). What is the danger of

COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING
SERVICE
Our Community Thanksgiving Service with
Trinity United Methodist Church will be held
on Sunday, November 23 at 6:30 pm at Our
Saviour Lutheran Church. Our offering of
canned goods and money will be given to
God’s Helping Hands.
A lay worship leader is needed for this
service. If you can assist with this, please
contact Pastor Lance.
It is, once again, that time of year to elect all
kinds of officers.
Very important to the
progress of the church is its Council. This
year there will be four positions open so we
need at least four persons to "run" for those
positions. Please say a prayer, think hard
about it and then call any member of the
council and volunteer your name to run for
one of these positions. Of course if you do
not have the time to look up a current council
member's phone number, just call Don at 803606-1514 and he will be delighted to enter
your name on the ballot!
LOST EARRING
This earring was found in the
women’s bathroom at
church.
If this is yours,
please contact Isma Boland.
WE ARE DOG-GONE SORRY
Many thanks to those who came out for the
Blessing of the Animals on October 12.
Special thanks to Loleta Keitt for preparing
the snacks (for man and beast!). We had a
decent turn-out and some neighborhood
guests. Sadly, the pictures taken that day
were lost  We apologize because there
were some awfully cute pets that came.
Pastor Lance has a couple of ideas for next
year’s celebration. If you would be interested
in helping out in a bigger and better
celebration on October 3, 2015, let Pastor
know right away. It will take some planning.

NOVEMBER MINISTRIES
Pastor’s Message (cont’d)
temptation? How do we avoid
falling into those things that
would ensnare us in sin? What
are the sins you are most easily
tempted toward? I find it easy to
use the classic 7 deadly sins as a
way to mentally sort through this
question—pride, wrath, envy,
lust, greed, sloth, gluttony. Can
we identify our weak spots? Do
we really see them as a place we
are tempted or just resign
ourselves to saying, “well, that’s
just me.”
And deliver us from evil…
This may also be translated as
“deliver us from the evil one” and
becomes closely related to the
preceding.
We have been
tempted and fallen into sin.
Now what? Pull ourselves up by
our own boot straps? Reflect on
that. Is that a temptation in and
of itself? Consider those specific
moments we have found
ourselves trapped in a quagmire
of sin. How did we really get out
of that except by the grace of
God?
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen.
Perhaps this was or was not part
of Jesus’ original prayer.
If
added, it was added very early in
the life of the Church. It is called
the doxology or “words of
praise”. Why is it right to end
our prayer in praise? Do your
other prayers include praise—
why or why not?
Keep calm and pray on,
Pastor Lance

WISE WORDS ON GIVING
THANKS
“Each day two things I am very grateful
for:the blessing of a new day and a successful ending of the day.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita
“I've started to look at life differently. When
you're thanking God for every little you - every
meal, every time you wake up, every time you
take a sip of water - you can't help but be
more thankful for life itself, for the unlikely and
miraculous fact that you exist at all.”
― A.J. Jacobs
“Appreciate your mom. She is wiser than you
think and stronger than you know. Be thankful.”
― Steve Maraboli
“A thankful and a contented spirit is a continual feast. We ought to be contented, and we
shall be contented, if we are in the habit of
seeing God in everything, and living upon
Him day by day. Oh, for a spirit of true thankfulness!”
― Ashton Oxenden,
COMMEMORATION PROFILES
Ruth Nicholson
The Lutheran Church, as part of its worship,
celebrates the lives of notable Christians of
the past. Our hymnal provides a calendar
(pp. 15–17) for us to follow which recognizes
these individuals on the anniversary of their
deaths.
November 23
Clement, Bishop of Rome
(died ca. 100 A.D.)
Very little is known of Clement’s life. He is
thought to have been the third successor to
St. Peter as leader of the church in
Rome. He is known chiefly for the letter he
wrote, probably in 96 A.D., to the church at
Corinth. It is a model of pastoral concern for
a church troubled by discord. Clement was
held in such high esteem that this letter was
considered Scripture by some Christians
until the 4th century. It is also responsible
for his designation as one of the Apostolic
Fathers of the church. Tradition has it that
Clement died a martyr’s death.
November 23
Miguel Agustín Pro, martyr
(died 1927)
Miguel Pro was a Jesuit priest in Mexico at a
time when its government was very
oppressive.
Those who favored the
overthrow of the regime accused the
Catholic church of siding with the
government, and so priests and parishioners
were in constant danger. Pro conducted
most of his ministry in private ways,
concentrating on the poor and
homeless. His martyrdom resulted from a
false accusation that he and his two brothers
had thrown a bomb at an official’s
car.
Miguel Pro shouted “Viva Cristo
Rey!” (“Long live Christ the King!”) as he and
his brothers faced death by firing squad.
November 25
Isaac Watts, hymnwriter
(1674-1748)
Nonconformist minister Isaac Watts is often
called the father of English hymnody. He
wrote some of his best-known hymns while
serving as pastor of a congregation in Mark
Lane, London. Most of his hymns are based
on psalms and reflect a calm, firm
belief. Our ELW contains ten Watts hymns,
including “Joy to the World,” “O God, Our
Help in Ages Past,” and “Jesus Shall
Reign.”
Isaac Watts also wrote about
philosophy, astronomy, and social issues of
his day.

FUN FACTS ABOUT THE FIRST
THANKSGIVING

The Plymouth Pilgrims were the first to
celebrate the Thanksgiving in Plymouth,
Massachusetts.

The Wampanoag Indians were the people
who taught the Pilgrims how to cultivate
the land.

The Pilgrim leader, Governor William
Bradford, had organized the first
Thanksgiving feast in 1621. He invited the
neighboring Wampanoag Indians to the
feast.

The first Thanksgiving celebration lasted
three days.

Mashed potatoes, pumpkin pies, popcorn,
milk, corn on the cob, and cranberries
were not foods present on the first
Thanksgiving's feast table.

Lobster, rabbit, chicken, fish, squashes,
beans, chestnuts, hickory nuts, onions,
leeks, dried fruits, maple syrup and honey,
radishes, cabbage, carrots, eggs, and
goat cheese are thought to have made up
the first Thanksgiving feast.

The pilgrims didn't use forks; they ate with
spoons, knives, and their fingers.
FOR ALL THE SAINTS
