The Spirit of Zion November, 2014 The “Spirit” helps us give thanks for our blessings! ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH 10857 Main Street, P O Box 434 New Middletown, OH 44442 Pastor Larry Klinker Church: 330 542-3821 Home: 330 542-9163 www.zionlutheranchurch.info WELCOME STEWARDSHIP SUNDAY November 16 Sunday Worship Time 8:00 a.m. Sunday Church School 9:30 a.m. Sunday Worship Time 10:45 a.m. PASTOR’S ARTICLE November marks the end of the church which began last Advent and it also brings to the end the reading of the gospel of Matthew. It is at the same time the end of green leaves, garden, outdoor plants, and cutting the grass. You will hear in the reading of the scriptures they are all about endings. So, on All Saints Sunday, November 2,we celebrate all of those who have completed their baptismal journey and now rest fully in God. All Saints Sunday is a celebration of the life and witness of God’s people who model a relationship with God for us. The hymn we should all learn by heart is “For All the Saints.” You can bring a picture of a loved one and place it on the piano to create our own cloud of witnesses through Christ the King Sunday. We celebrate the culmination of the church year on the final Sunday of the church year on November 23 which is called either Christ the King or Reign of Christ. The final Sunday in the church year also parallels the final moment of time when the whole world will come to acknowledge Christ as King. Paul envisions that moment as: Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. We see that in Christ the whole creation finds its fulfillment. We could see the ending is the beginning where creation returns to (continued on next page) original intent of God to be acknowledged as the maker and owner of all creation and that we are called to serve God and each other in the name of Christ. Then on the final two Sundays in November it all starts again with a new church year where we starting Mark’s Gospel along with selections from the gospel of John. So what looks like the end, the deepening cold, and growing darkness is actually a new beginning of God coming to us to be present in the person of Jesus.

If your child cannot attend during any of these practices (Saturday being the most important), you need to let the Sunday School staff know or call the church office so a part can be set aside for them. Christian Education Chairman, Irene Swantek Sunday Morning Adult Bible Study: Sunday Morning Adult Bible study is continuing to explore the books of the Older Testament starting with First Samuel part of the Deuteronomist History. We will look at Samuel, Saul, David, and Solomon sagas as well as the division of the people of God into the Northern Kingdom and Southern Kingdom. ____________________ Each student will need to provide a three ring note book. ____________________ NEW PICTORIAL DIRECTORY PLAN We have begun signing people up for the new photo directory. You can sign up online by going to our website: zionlutheranchurch.info. Then go to the links page and you will find a link to the directory sign up. Or you can sign up online on Sunday mornings at church. Each person signing up online will get an $10.00 off extra pictures purchased. Every one having their pictures taken will receive a free 8x10 picture and a directory. Another way to increase your savings will be to bring in a canned good the day of the photo shoot. You will receive an additional $5.00 off any extra purchase of pictures. There is also a quarterly special that will be offered but we do not know what it is yet. The photos for the directory will be taken at Zion on Monday, November 3, from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. and then again on Tuesday, November 4, from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. All members and friends of Zion will be included in the directory and each person or family will receive one free portrait and directory. ____________________ 2015 STEWARDSHIP DRIVE “Grow as Stewards through Faith, Love and Hope! PROPERTY NEWS OUTSIDE CLEAN-UP DAY – Saturday, November 8 “We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor produced by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.” Thessalonians 1:3 We will begin distributing our 2015 Stewardship Drive to all members and friends of Zion on Sunday, October 26, with Stewardship Sunday set for November 16. There are many opportunities included in the Stewardship Material for sharing time, talents, and financial support. Prayerfully consider each as you complete the Time & Abilities Sheet and/or Commitment Card. Last year we were short in most areas of scheduling worship participants and those volunteering for other tasks, such as coffee. We will include more information with your individual drive material. Consider volunteering to serve. It is difficult to keep scheduling the same people each Sunday when we could all share in these worship participation areas and tasks, sharing the commitment of service and worship. If you do not receive your envelope on Sundays, it will be mailed to you. We ask that all Stewardship envelopes be returned to church on Sunday, November 16, at which time we will dedicate our commitments for the coming year as we place the envelopes on the altar during each worship service. On Saturday, November 8, starting at 9:00 am we will be outside doing our annual fall clean-up day to get our plants cut back and our bed ready for the spring. Grab your gloves, pruning shears, and old clothes and come and give us a hand. SNOW SHOVEL CHART We will be placing a Sign Up Sheet for Snow Shovelers on the Property Bulletin Board. If you can help clean walkways and steps for Sunday worship, please sign up. Shovels and salt are available at church; walkways and steps need cleaned before 8:00 a.m. worship on Sunday mornings. Many times the work can be done on Saturday with just a little extra attention Sunday morning. The more people we have sign up, the less work it will be for our volunteers. CAN YOU HELP? PLEASE SIGN UP FOR A SUNDAY! ____________________ WORSHIP AROUND THE CROSS Thursday, November 6 The next celebration of Worship Around the Cross will be on Thursday, November 6, at 7:00 p.m. will be a service from ordinary time. Our once a month worship has an interactive style that is based upon our worship structure of gathering, word, meal, and sending and is all projected. The worship includes spoken liturgy, scriptures, Holy Communion, chants, videos and includes a discussion sermon based upon the gospel reading. The worship is a more relaxed worship approach but still God centered. ____________________ An old prayer for politicians: “Teach us, O Lord, to utter words that are tender and gentle, for tomorrow we may have to eat them.” GOSPEL OF THOMAS STUDY Wednesday, November 5 Our Gospel of Thomas Group will next meet in the Fellowship Hall on Wednesday, November 5, at 7:00 p.m. Come join us as Jesus provides guidance to finding our inner golden self . ____________________ TUESDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY Our Tuesday Morning Bible Study continues to meet in the Fellowship Hall at 10:00 a.m. We are currently exploring chapter nine in our study of Paul’s letter to the Romans. We are exploring Paul’s ethical concerns as we explore chapters 12 through 14. ____________________ CATECHESIS NIGHT Thursday, November 20 The Catechesis Group will next meet on Thursday, November 20, at 7:00 p.m. We are studying the faith practice of individual prayer using the Lord’s prayer as our model prayer as Lutherans using the Kenyan Catechism. We are learning to appreciate the importance how we use faith practices to shape our faith overtime as we use Scriptures which is rule and norm of our faith. ____________________ LARRY’S BIBLE BLOG We are now finishing up the book of Deuteronomy on Pastor Larry’s Bible blog online at http://klinkerldpastorlarrysbible.blogspot.com/. We are moving on to daily readings from the book of Judges. Reflect personally and daily on this book from God’s word. ____________________ CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER Thursdays, November 13 Our Contemplative Prayer Group will next meet in November on the second Thursday at 7:00 p.m. On Thursday, November 13, we will offer a prayer based upon interior seeing. We offer this time of prayer to allow us the space to come and be present for God in the movement of our bodies, the use of six different prayer forms, silence, and the mutual conversation of those present. Prayer is paying attention to God. ____________________ LABYRINTH WALK Our next indoor Labyrinth Walk will be on Monday, November 10, in the Fellowship Hall downstairs for 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Come experience this form of walking prayer whether inside or outside. ____________________ LECTIO DIVINA Sunday November 2 & 16 There are two more meetings planned in November to help us complete the third and fourth steps in the Lectio Divina reading of Scripture. We have already covered Lectio and meditation in October. Now on Sunday, November 2, we will reflect on how to pray a particular piece of scripture or religious text. This step is called oratio. On Sunday, November 16, we will conclude learning the Lectio Divina Progess by learning comtemplation, the fourth step where we sit in silence with the text and listen for God’s voice. Both classes will be at 7:00 p.m. on the first and third Sundays. Stewardship: Gifts of Time, Love, Energy, Talents, and Service. Have you ever noticed how children emulate their parents? Children watch their parents and they do what they see them doing. This is how they learn to speak. They watch the shape and form of their parents’ mouths and they try to make the same shape so that they can make the same sounds. But children copy their parents even on a more mundane level. They watch how their parents cross their legs, how they fold their hands, how they stand and sit and walk, how they do and say most everything: and children try to copy it. This can be quite humorous when caught in the act. They do this even when parents don’t want them to. Everyone has been in the uncomfortable, and sometimes rather embarrassing, situation where a child does or says what one of their parents have done or said…something that is not too flattering! Sitcoms thrive on this sort of thing. And it only works because of the truth that children emulate their parents. And they do it because they want to be like them. We are the children of God by grace, through faith. In Holy Baptism, God the Father declares of us what He declared of Jesus at His Baptism in the Jordan, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” God the Father claims us as His own. He takes away all our sins, and in exchange He gives us His righteousness, His purity, His holiness, and His Spirit, by which we cry out, “Abba, Father.” We are born again, born from above, born of water and the Spirit, to a new life in Christ as His children. We are sons of God in Christ, through Baptism. And since we are sons, we are heirs; heirs who share in the glory of the Son of God. The inheritance is ours because of the Father’s grace and mercy, because of His generosity in sending His Son in time to save us for all eternity. (continued on next page) And this is why we give generously of our income to the work of the church. Through the working of the Holy Spirit, we are enabled to lead holy lives. We are strengthened to emulate the generosity of our heavenly Father by being generous ourselves. We give to the work of the church because we have witnessed the generous giving of our Father in heaven. More than that, we are recipients of it. It is because we have received God our Father’s gifts that we desire to give ourselves. And His gifts are not just spiritual. They are temporal and earthly as well. As the Small Catechism teaches in the Fourth Petition of the Lord’s Prayer: “Give us this day our daily bread. What does this mean? God certainly gives daily bread to everyone without our prayers, even to all evil people, but we pray in this petition that God would lead us to realize this and to receive our daily bread with thanksgiving. What is meant by daily bread? Daily bread includes everything that has to do with the support and needs of the body, such as food, drink, clothing, shoes, house, home, land, animals, money, goods, a devout husband or wife, devout children, devout workers, devout and faithful rulers, good government, good weather, peace, health, self-control, good reputation, good friends, faithful neighbors, and the like.” In other words, he gives us everything that we need for the care of both body and soul. His generosity knows no bounds. Therefore we sit down at the beginning of the year, the beginning of the month, or the beginning of the week, and set aside a generous portion of God’s daily bread for His work in the church. Not because He has commanded us so to do. But rather because we, as His children by grace, want to emulate His generosity in our own lives. He is our Father; we are His children. And children want to be like their parents. The Stewardship Committee ____________________ Americans don’t fear the Lord as much as they do the next payment.
