FROM THE PASTOR

November is a very busy month in the traditional church year.  We begin with All Saints’ Day; then a few weeks later we celebrate the national holiday of Thanksgiving and this year we begin a new church year with the first Sunday of Advent on Nov. 29.

All Saints’ Day is actually the reason for the very secularized holiday of Halloween.  As you may know Halloween is short for All Hallows Evening, which became All Hallows E’en, which became just Hallowe’en.  So Halloween is really the Eve of the church celebration of All Saints (Hallows / Holy ones) Day.  All Saints’ Day is the day that we remember our loved ones who in the last year have finished their journey through this life on earth as members of the Church Militant and have gone on to glory in heaven as members of the Church Triumphant.  We miss them greatly and our hearts ache to see them and hug them one more time.  Dr. Ken Haugk, the founder of Stephen Ministries, has prepared a series of 4 booklets entitled “Journeying through Grief” to comfort, support, strengthen, and encourage people who have lost a loved one.  If you feel that you could use some help, please contact Pastor Fred or Brenda Johnson, one of our Stephen Ministers.

I don’t want to minimize the pain we feel, but as a matter of faith we wouldn’t ask our loved ones to leave the eternal bliss of heaven to return to earth and the troubles of this life.  As St. John wrote in his vision of the throne of heaven, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” (Rev. 7:14)  In spite of our sorrow, by faith we can celebrate that our loved ones have crossed the finish line and are safely in heaven with our Lord Jesus; and we look forward to a blessed reunion with them when God calls us home.

Until then you and I are called to press on in the Church Militant; to “fight the good fight” as disciples of Jesus, members of His Church that is still engaged in mortal combat with the evil one.  We know how that spiritual war ends: “After this I looked, and behold a great multitude that no one could number from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb!” (Rev. 7:9-10) 

But here on earth at 38th and State in Erie, or at 80 Third Ave. in Albion, the spiritual battles continue for each soul who is conceived into this life.  Our mission is to rescue as many people as we can from the fires of hell and add them to that “great multitude” in heaven by “making disciples” of them.  The more this world changes, the more creative we have to be to get the unchanging message of salvation to be heard by people who don’t know that they need Jesus.  We can invite them to come to church, but more and more we’ll need to find ways to take the Gospel out into the neighborhoods where they live and work and play.  Have you made an Ablaze! contact recently? 

See you in church! Bring a friend!

PAPER NEIGHBORHOOD UPDATE

Many thanks to Art Anderson, Laurie Hinds, Judy Leretsis, Pastor Poeppel, Sam, Sharon and Ben Steiner, as well as Tyco Swick, for helping deliver invitations to homes in Glenwood Heights regarding an informational meeting to be held at Trinity.

We had 14 neighbors attend the meeting on October 22, which according to the Neighborhood Watch Council is an excellent response, and all that attended were very interested in pursuing the program.

They even had an individual that was unable to attend the meeting make their interest in serving as coordinator of the Neighborhood Watch Group known by means of a neighbor that did attend!

At this point everything is in the hands of the Neighborhood Watch Council, but we feel very positive that the Lord has blessed our efforts and we look forward to what comes next!

ABLAZE … The Lutheran Church sharing the Gospel

Let’s be Ablaze for Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ!  That’s the theme for many of our church body’s efforts this decade.  Many people need to know the love and care of our Lord Jesus Christ!  We all respond to the Gospel in a variety of ways.  Our responses can be in any of the identified ways, as on our banner at church - LEARN, PRAY, GIVE, TELL, SEND, GO, and CELEBRATE. 

Consider being involved in some manner with sharing the Gospel with another person.  We are keeping a tally to join in with our national and international partners.  You can add your witness events to the total by filling out the orange cards available and submitting them to the box in the church – signed or unsigned.

Ablaze update:

      International Goal:        100,000,000

            Latest tally:               10,479,610   (as of 10/22/2009)

      Trinity’s Goal:                          4,400

            Latest tally:                           190   (as of 6/26/2009)

Fan into Flame campaign total: 

$51,035,829 (as of 10/23/2009)

FYI, of all the memorials received for Pastor Sallach, the monies designated for Fan into Flame totaled $3,350!  What a marvelous tribute to him!  Praise God!

Here is a recent story from the website:

Sharing the Good News on Friendship Sunday in Georgia

Members of Trinity Lutheran Church in Athens, Ga., held a Friendship Sunday to reach out to visitors with the Gospel.

10/20/2009

Our Friendship Sunday at Trinity Lutheran Church was a big success this year. We had at least 27 non-regular visitors in addition to some regular visitors and 18 in a baptismal party. I cannot see the hearts of all of the non-regular visitors, but giving a conservative estimate, about half of those visitors were unreached or uncommitted. I pray that many of these visitors will come back to Trinity and enter into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. I attribute much of the success of this year's Friendship Sunday to a dedicated and coordinated prayer effort.

LWML CONVENTION NEWS

During the LWML’s 33rd national biennial convention in Portland, OR, the women of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League voted to support six LCMS World Mission projects in Peru, Tanzania, Korea, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, and Lithuania.  We are grateful for their partnership.

We are also thankful for:

·         The more than 1,000 attendees who visited our exhibit to sign up for a chance to win a mission trip to Poland, learn more about short-term missionary service, or speak with staff and LCMS missionaries.

·         Allowing Dr. Thomas Zehnder, executive director; Michelle Hoeppner, Asia; and Danelle Putnam, Dominican Republic, to address your assembly.

What a blessing this partnership is for the sake of reaching the lost.  To God by the glory!

UPDATE ON USE OF PARKING LOT BY VAMC

The Church Council has entered into another one-year lease agreement with the Veterans Administration Medical Center across the street from the Church for the use of parking spaces.  As it has been for the past year, during the business days of the week, Monday to Friday, some of their employees may be parking in our spaces during normal business hours (daytime).  During those same days some of their official vehicles may be parked at the church 24 hours.  The lot will be solely used by the church on the weekends.  Please watch for any parking restrictions during the week.

STEPHEN MINISTRY

As mentioned earlier in the newsletter, the Stephen Ministry has available booklets on “Journeying through Grief” but if you are having a different personal challenge of faith or a crisis in life that you would appreciate having a Christian caregiver to walk with you through the experience, Stephen Ministry provides such.

Trained caregivers for men and women meet regularly at church to help one another confidentially to assist others in need of a “friend.”  Stephen Ministers generally contact you once a week for perhaps an hour to listen, to talk, and to provide some spiritual encouragement.  If you would be interested in receiving a Stephen Minister, please contact Pastor Poeppel.

e                              f
CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON

Don’t forget … all adults attending Trinity are encouraged to join us for a Christmas Luncheon on Thursday, December 10 at Ricardo’s at 12:00 noon!! 

Reservations will be required to allow the proper number of tables to be reserved so watch the bulletin boards for signup sheets that will be posted soon.

Deadline for signing up is Sunday, December 6.

Join us as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, our Savior and Lord!
