Things to
Remember
• LCMC’s Three
Days of Prayer—
January 6th-8th
• Commitment
Sunday—
January 11th
• LCMC Learning
Event: Accessing
Scripture—
January 12th-16th
• Congregational
Meeting—
January 25th
On December 7th, Kent Hunter of Church Doctor Ministries presented his oral
report to the congregation regarding our recent church consultation. At that
meeting he presented his findings and highlighted some of his key
recommendations. Now we will be entering another phase of this consultation,
prayerfully discerning which recommendations we sense God is calling us to as
congregation.
Here’s what comes next. The church council has appointed a task force of
respected members of the congregation who will review all the
recommendations listed in the report. This task force will divide the
recommendations into common ministry areas and refer those recommendations
to those committees or groups who are responsible for those particular areas of
ministry. In turn, those committees or groups will be asked to prayerfully
consider which specific recommendations God is calling us to implement here
at Faith. The committees or groups are to get back in touch with the task force
with action plans on how the congregation might implement these
recommendations.
It might be helpful to clear up some misunderstandings that have surfaced
regarding these recommendations and how we will or will not implement them.
First of all, these recommendations are precisely that, recommendations. In all,
there were 192 of them. Some of them we may choose to implement, some of
them we may choose to modify, and some of them we may choose to reject. The
specific recommendations deal broadly across all areas of ministry. Some
recommendations are simple and obvious. Other recommendations are more
complex and may require respectful conversation, and members may have to
agree to disagree without being disagreeable. But we need to be clear from the
outset whether we agree or disagree or are undecided; they are just
recommendations unless we decide to act upon them as a congregation. And I
would like to point out that of these 192 recommendations, 59 of them were
recommendations to give thanks to God for areas of ministry where we are
doing quite well.
Second, it is not the role of the task force to decide what recommendations will
or will not be implemented. Their role is to review all the recommendations,
divide and classify them, assign them to the various committees, groups, and
ministry areas, and then report back the action plans from the various
committees and ministries. The church council selected the following members
to serve on this task force: Harold Bogisch, Kurt Cantrell, Dianne Chambers,
Mary Koehler, and Phil Wuest.

Third, Dr. Hunter has reminded us that prayer is critical in this process. The
question isn’t whether he or we think these recommendations are good ideas or
bad ideas. The question is, does God want this to happen here at Faith? Thus, our
first order of business is to pray about this report. One thing I know about prayer.
First, foremost, and always prayer is about being humble and submissive before
God, subordinating our will to his.
Fourth and finally, we have approximately 250 households in our local
membership. Of those, about ninety households picked up a copy of the report
and recommendations thus far. I would strongly encourage you, if you have not
already done so, to please contact the church office for your copy. We can print
one and mail it to you, print one and have you pick it up at the office and save the
postage, or have an electronic copy e-mailed to you to save both printing and
postage costs. The biggest misunderstandings about the report can be cleared up
by reading it for yourself.

2015 and the New Year
As the New Year begins, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you God’s
richest and best blessings for 2015. My prayer for each and every one of you is
that you might see the New Year as an opportunity to draw closer to Christ Jesus
through regular prayer and devotional reading of his Word. Starting Thursday,
January 8th, we will begin a new Emmaus Bible Institute session on Accessing
Scripture through the Bible Toolbox. Bible Toolbox is a study on how to study
and better understand the Bible. What a great place to start the New Year!

The TRUE meaning of Christmas was everywhere you looked in
the Preschool wing. The 2, 3, and 4 year-olds made beautiful handmade gifts for
their parents and were even more excited about GIVING them. The entire month
of December was a food drive for the Christian Cupboard. The children opened
their hearts and generously donated 93 pounds of food to help feed those in
need. The children truly understand the meaning of GIVING!

Angelic voices were heard at Seguin Assisted Living as the Preschoolers did an
AMAZING job singing Christmas carols to a standing room only crowd. They
were rewarded with huge smiles and warm hugs from the residents.

During chapel time, Georgie Dittrich and Johanna Lange presented the
wonderful story of Christ's birth. The children were in awe and listened so
attentively as these ladies brought the story to life. Each child held the tiny baby
Jesus in their hands and whispered, "Come into my heart, dear Jesus." It was
truly a magical moment! When asked if they could have visited baby Jesus and
taken him a gift, what would they bring him? The children responded...

Faith Lutheran Church has a wonderful opportunity to begin the New Year with
Three Days of Prayer. On January 6th, 7th, and 8th, Faith will join other
LCMC congregations around the world in the Three Days of Prayer Event.
LCMC Service Coordinator Mark Vander Tuig writes, “Our attitude toward
prayer has often been characterized by saying, “well, all we can do now is
pray!” Prayer is not a hopeless act of desperation. Prayer is a gift that God has
given to us as a means to approach the throne of grace with confidence—like that
of a child coming to her parents sharing concerns, victories, defeats and every
part of life. It is an opportunity to express the deepest heartache and the greatest
joy. Prayer is a conversation between the Creator and the created…and the
conversation began with God, for us, in Christ Jesus.”
The prayer focus on Tuesday, January 6th, at 7:45 PM (following committee
meetings) will be confession as we gather in the sanctuary. At noon on
Wednesday, January 7th, will be a day of petition as we pray for our
congregation and its leaders and for all those connected to Faith that they might
know God’s redeeming love for all in Christ. Thursday, Jan 8th, at 6:15
PM will be a day for vision as we pray that the Holy Spirit will move through
the hearts and minds of leaders and pastors that God’s vision for his church
might be revealed and fulfilled.
May our response to this prayer opportunity be a witness to the power of prayer
in the life and ministry of Faith Lutheran Church. Paul wrote in Acts 2:42 about
the 1st century church, “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to
the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to the prayers.” May this be true in
the 21st Century at Faith Lutheran Church! Please mark your calendar and make
plans to join in this uplifting time of prayer and spiritual renewal.
Christian Cupboard Item of the Month
Food Drive Continues
The Social Concerns Committee continues to sponsor the Item of the Month
Food Drive to benefit the Christian Cupboard. For the month of January, the
Christian Cupboard states that their most needed item is oatmeal. This includes
any type of oatmeal, quick oats, instant, flavored, etc.
Please bring your donations through January 31st and place them in the basket
in the Narthex marked Christian Cupboard. Items of the month for the next two
months are as follows: February, coffee; and March, canned beans, Faith’s
members have always been wonderful supporters of the Christian Cupboard, and
the Social Concerns Committee thanks you for your continued generosity. You
have helped us make the Item of the Month Food Drive a success!

Church Council Communication Corner
Church Council meets the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30 PM with
agenda-setting meetings on the first Tuesday of the month also at 6:30 PM.
Any member of the congregation who would like to bring something before
the council is encouraged to contact any council member or attend the
agenda-setting and council meetings for the month.
Highlights from the December Council Meeting:
 Thank you to all who attended the Diagnostic Consultation with the
Church Doctor. If you would like a copy of the full report, please contact the
church office to reserve one for pick up or have one emailed or sent to you.
The Church Council has begun the process of appointing a task force to
consider the many recommendations made in the report.
 The Council approved the use of Constant Contact, a mass emailing
provider. This will allow for faster and more frequent communication with
all members of Faith Lutheran Church. Once the system is up and running,
you will have a chance to submit your email address in order to be included.
 The annual meeting is set for January 25, 2015. Most importantly, we
will be voting on new Council members, and we hope everyone can be there.
Please continue brainstorming about ideas for Faith on Tour. We are looking
forward to kicking this project off early in 2015.
Social Concerns Committee Kicks
Off Baby Bottle Campaign Drive
In conjunction with Sanctity of Life month in January, the Social Concerns
Committee is once again sponsoring the Baby Bottle Campaign Drive for the
South Texas Pregnancy Care Center. The primary mission of the center is to
promote life for the unborn child and to offer support for the mother and
child during pregnancy, birth, and the baby’s early years. The fundraiser
begins Sunday, January 4th, through the end of January. In addition, a
special Sanctity of Life Service will take place on January 18th. As in the
past, baby bottles will be available in the narthex for Faith members to pick
up and take home. Bottles will also be distributed to Sunday School children.
We encourage you to join other churches in the Seguin area by placing
change, dollar bills, and checks in the baby bottles to help support the
services that the center provides. A few of the important services that the
center provides at no charge to clients include pregnancy tests, sonograms,
counseling, educational materials, newborn gift packages, and teen
abstinence events. One hundred percent of the funds raised go directly
support the center's budget. The South Texas Pregnancy Care Center exists
to reach out and offer hope to people who mistakenly believe abortion is
their only option. Please return the bottles to the church no later than
Sunday, February 1st.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM PARISH EDUCATION!!
December was filled with celebrating the birth of Jesus. On the first
Sunday of Advent, we invited families to make Advent wreaths. Pastor
Cross taught us all how the Advent wreath came to be and its significance
in the church during the Christmas season. It was fun to watch families
work together and put their own creative touches on their wreaths. Each
family took their wreath home along with daily scripture readings and
activities to do as a family every day of Advent.
THANK YOU to everyone who helped make the Sunday School
Christmas Program, The Birth of Christ, a success. DVD copies of the
slideshow presentation will be available soon. Please call Teressa at the
church office to reserve one.
There will be NO SUNDAY SCHOOL on January 11th due to
Commitment Sunday. Please consider Parish Education and Sunday
School as you fill out your Time and Talent sheets. Any and all help is
always appreciated. On Sunday, January 18th, our lesson will begin on
the Ten Commandments followed by the story of the walls of Jericho. We
look forward to an exciting year! Please join us each week and feel free to
bring a friend.
A reminder to parents: Sunday School starts at 10:30 AM. We do not
have staff to supervise your children from the time church ends until
Sunday School begins at 10:30 AM. We encourage you to enjoy cookies
and fellowship as a family between the worship service and Sunday
School. This can be a wonderful time to catch up with other parents and
get to know our new members.

GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER
Commitment Sunday January 11, 2015
The Stewardship Committee urges you to circle Sunday, January 11th, on your
new 2015 calendar. This is the date of our Commitment Sunday. This year’s
theme is "God Loves a Cheerful Giver" from 2 Corinthians 9:7.
“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart,
"
not reluctantly or under compulsion,
for God loves a cheerful giver."
Why is it important to share our blessings? Three reasons: Giving is a reminder
of His ownership. Giving is praise and worship. Giving is for our spiritual well
being. Because we are designed in God's image, we are happiest and most
fulfilled when serving and giving. The mission of our church will be in direct
proportion to our time, talent, and monetary gifts.
Join us for breakfast from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM in the Life Enrichment Center.
The Worship Service will be held at 10:00 AM. During this service, you will be
asked to turn in your time and talent sheets, as well as your pledge cards. The
pledge cards will remain sealed on the altar for the entire year. There will be no
Sunday School on this day; however, the Nursery will be available from
8:30 AM until the end of the Commitment Worship Service.
The family of John B. Whitwell sincerely thanks our Faith
Family for the prayers, cards, food, visits, and most of all
those who helped set up and clean up after the funeral
reception. It helped so much in relieving the stress during the
time of our husband, father and grandfather’s death.
God’s Blessings,
Lydia Whitwell and Family
FAITH’S
SEALED
PLEDGES
Many years ago Faith
Lutheran Church chose to
follow a unique path of
personal financial
commitment. Each family
or individual determines
through thoughtfulness and
prayer what portion of
their income will be given
to the work of this
congregation for the
coming year. This
information is written on a
pledge card and placed on
the altar during the
Commitment Service with
deep assurance that the
Holy Spirit has acted in
each member’s heart and
mind. These cards are
never opened. Only God
and each of his servants
know what was written on
these pledge cards. This
means as a congregation,
we place a great deal of
faith in the individual
relationships our members
have with their Lord.
MAY THE LORD
BLESS AND
COMFORT THE
FAMILY OF:
Bernice “Rocky” Junker.
Rocky passed through
death into Eternal Life
on December 19, 2014,
in Seguin. A memorial
service will be held here
