Fall Season Underway

By
Dear Friends,
 
 As many of of us adjust our schedules with the beginning of a new school year, so St. Andrew's adjusts to the routine of our program year.  This Saturday we return to our regular weekly service of Holy Communion at 5PM.  This service is more intimate and little less formal with more spoken liturgy and monthly appearances by our acoustic group.   Begin to think about family members, friends, and neighbors who could benefit from Saturday worship.  We also return to our regular worship schedule on Sunday mornings as well.

 

8:15 AM - Traditional Worship: On this "Kickoff Sunday", this will certainly be the more reflective service of the two as we use our traditional liturgy to praise the living God.  Gospel text for this service is from our assigned lectionary readings: Luke 14:25-33, a really challenging text to understand and even more challenging to preach! 

 

11:00 AM - Kick Off Sunday - "God's Work, Our Hands" :  A simple but celebrative worship gathering, with guided liturgy and an interactive message for children of all ages, as we give thanks to God for the many ways that he empowers us to serve in this community and to be God's hands in the world for those in need. This service, about 45 minutes in length will lead us directly to our luncheon.  There will also be an opportunity on this day to hear from youth and adults who were part of the mission trip to the Rosebud Reservation of South Dakota this past summer.   St. Andrew's Hospitality Team and the South Dakota Servant Team will bring the meal.  We encourage you to bring family and friends as we catch up with each other after a long summer and look forward to the fall season ahead. 

 

Also, Please keep in your prayers:

 

-  those who face the challenges of fires and floods

- the unemployed and underemployed of our communities

- families experiencing broken relationships and in need of healing

- young adults away from home at school or in military service

- those whose lives have been devastated by terrorism and senseless violence

- our Sunday School teachers and students as they begin a new program year

- the churches of this community and our common mission to be the hands of God in the world. 

 

See you in church!

 

Peace,

 

Pastor Mueller

Lord's Prayer

By
Dear Friends,

This Sunday in worship our Gospel lesson is Luke 11:1-13.  In my message, I will be focusing chiefly on this rather strange parable of Jesus.  However, this is also the text where on e of Jesus' disciples says, "Lord, teach us to pray" and Jesus introduces what would become known as the Lord's Prayer.  While this will not be a primary focus on Sunday, I thought I would share with you below a reflection by Christian writer Brian McClaren bringing fresh meaning to a prayer that has become so familiar that, unfortunately, it can become rote and uttered with little meaning or reflection.  I hope that you will find this helpful for your own time in prayer.  And who knows?  It may even show up sometime in a worship service.
A Spoken Version of the Lord’s Prayer
This rendering of the Lord’s prayer uses unfamiliar words and phrasing to help us actually hear its message rather than lapsing into an auto-pilot recitation. You can use it in public worship by having …

Christmas Cantata this weekend

By
A word of thanks to everyone who worked behind the scenes on this year's Advent Family Night.  What a wonderful evening for God's children of all ages.  A special thank you to our Director of Christian Education, Mrs. Janice Stickley, and members of our Christian Education for coordinating this event.
We hope to see many of you here, along with family and friends, at 5 PM this Saturday night for our Christmas Cantata. 

Join us for a joy filled hour together featuring special music from the choirs of St. Andrew's and Augustus Lutheran Church in Trappe, the Christmas story retold, and beloved Christmas carols sung together.  This is a great way to get into the spirit of the season and an opportunity for those of you who will be traveling or have other commitments on Christmas Eve this year to celebrate with your faith community.  Bring family members, friends, neighbors, or co-workers for this special night together.
Also, mark your calendars for our Christmas pageant on Sunda…

Change of Plans

By
Dear Friends,

Perhaps you are facing a season of change in your life.  Ecclesiastes 3:11 says that God has made everything "suitable for it's time."  That is to say that God has designed our lives into seasons, but there is a time limit on each one.  Some seasons are wide open doors for our passions and calling and some seasons are closed doors when God calls us to grow professionally, spiritually, or emotionally.  Some seasons are open doors where the changes are obvious: changes in employment, residence, or family life,   Some seasons are closed  doors where change is very subtle as we are challenged to look beneath the surface as we see changes in relationships, perspectives, attitudes, spiritual practices, and better self care.

If you are in an open door season of your life, may God give you the strength, flexibility, and patience to navigate the challenging changes ahead.  If you feel like you are in a closed door season, may you have wisdom and discernment to kno…
