“I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? Make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:19)

In college, as an English major

and required to take writing

courses, I remember the thing I

enjoyed most of all was “stream

of consciousness” writing. It was

sort of an “e.e.cummings kind of

a way of writing” where what

was most important was what

came to your mind and not so

much about punctuation or capi-

talization. It was a free flowing

kind of expression.

While away from you all, Mary

Alice and I have been doing a

new thing – new because it is so

different from what we have

done for so many years, yet, so

important. Our days are without

punctuation or any other form or

order that we have grown ac-

customed – and yet – it is still so

good and so valuable.

Something new to me, a new

“stream of consciousness” has

come this first month away. It

has become clear to me that I

can’t talk to my Dad like I used

to (we talked every Sunday

night). I haven’t been able to

talk to my Mom since November

of 2006 and have needed to

“make a way in this new wilder-

ness of non-communication.” I

miss those conversations. But, I

have discovered something

new.

In the midst of the dryness of not

being able to see, feel, touch,

and talk to my loved ones, God

has provided me a way to con-

tinue the sacred conversation:

yes, through prayer, no doubt.

Prayer has become our constant

companion – even more now

that we are away from you all. It

really helps us in so many ways.

But I have found—in the great

amount of time we have with our

grandchildren, Lennon and Tay-

lor (the ones we haven’t had the

chance to know like all the other

precious grandchildren), I have

sensed a continuing conversa-

tion with the love of family

through them. When I look into

their beautiful blue eyes, I am

mindful of the eyes of my moth-

er, and father, father-in-law,

(Mr. Barnett had very blue eyes)

and so many others. I thought

about my grandparents as one

day recently Mary Alice and I

took a quick tour through the

old neighborhoods of our families and I sensed their memories and presence as we passed

down streets I had passed down so long ago when they were all alive. As my brother Skip and I

have had brief moments to reminisce, there’s a true sense of something continuing within our

presences.

Each day as I watch the grandchildren at rest and at play, I talk with them and feel the presence

of the ages soaring through us, knowing that this “stream” is still running, still flowing, even

though some important people in our lives are gone.

It’s like standing in a stream of water. As I stand in its coolness where I might have stood before,

it may not be the exact same water the last time I was there, but it is connected to it. With respect

to my old college English professors, this is my “stream of consciousness” that connects me with

life before and points me to the future. I can always have that bond by holding onto family no

matter their age or generation. I sense the love I knew so long ago, and it renews my heart.

As we have celebrated another year of ministry (OSLC’s birthday was September 22, 1957), I

hope you can make connections with our wonderful past but also use that energy to look to the

future. There are exciting things coming for us as a people of God. Stand in the stream of God’s

consciousness and know that He is love and that He is with you then, now, and tomorrow.

Be at peace. God is near. Talk to Him and hear those who have gone before you. Time really is

timeless and precious.

We are grateful for you all – those now and those who have gone before us: Betty, Truman, Bea:

bless you all!

Your friend in Christ,

"Covenant to Witness"

In the Mission Statement of our congregation, it says we will "covenant to witness" to the love of Jesus Christ

by sharing ourselves with the world.

How have you done this in the past? As a Sunday School teacher or student? As a property com-

mittee worker painting, cleaning windows, or working with landscaping? Maybe you have been

a "Cover Girl" making quilts, or attend one of our WELCA Circles? Or, maybe you sang in the

choir or played in the Heartsong band? Maybe you attend fellowship gatherings or cooked

meals for those who have been recently sick?

If you haven't yet, take a moment to find your place in the family of Our Saviour by filling out

your Time and Talent form you received in the mail.

Have you misplaced yours? There's plenty at church in the narthex or in the fellowship hall.

When you fill one out and return it to us, it will be processed and given to the proper council rep

who will contact you personally about the coming year!

As you agree to serve, please know we are so grateful for your sharing of you time, talents, and

treasures!

Music News from Carolynn

Musings from the Organ Bench

It is reputed that on October 31, 1517 Martin Luther nailed his grievances to the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church. With that action (and the 95 Theses), the Reformation was born!

Throughout this next year, there will be celebrations and tours and re-membrances of the defiant and bold stance Dr. Luther took when nailing those theses. His action changed the face of the Church and Christianity. It is important to remember that Dr. Luther did not want to leave the church but to clean it within. We can imagine that with 95 ticks against it, the church fathers were irate and publically humiliated and Martin es-caped with his life and a new calling. His followers received the name of

“Lutherans” and an improved brand of the Holy Roman church was born.

Long before Luther, the Church had taken the music away from the people (during the reign of Gregory I, pa-pacy 590-604. Only the priests and appointed choirs sang in the Mass. The only role of participation that the common people had was to receive the host (bread) during the Communion distribution. The Mass was deliv-ered in Latin and the people of Germany (and I suspect wherever the Roman church was located) were purely out of luck because they were unable to read or write – not even their native language. Worship for the non-clergy was reduced to a spectator event with visual and sound cues.

One of Luther’s big “reforms” was to give the music BACK to the people. Being an accomplished singer and lutenist, Luther understood the need for singing and involving people in worship. Now in 1517, there were lim-ited resources for anthems, hymns, etc. (We are so very blessed with all the resources available to us – I could go on about that – maybe another time.) BUT can you imagine what Luther needed to do to have appropriate lyrics and music for his congregation? He had to write them!

Recently I ordered/received a copy of The Hymns of Martin Luther edited by Peter Reske (Concordia Publish-ing House), pub. June 3, 2016. For the first time, all of Luther’s hymns are in one publication in English in a form that is readable/singable (as in our hymnal). This is a real blessing for finding Luther’s musical offerings. While I love doing research, it can be most time-consuming. Thank you Dr. Reske for this compendium!

Just a few thoughts from Reske regarding Luther and this volume. “Luther’s hymn texts are probably not the best examples of refined poetry. His language is common (but not vulgar) and he paints such vivid and memo-rable pictures! The melodies are quite varied: from flowing chant to muscular, rugged congregational hymns.” (Think “A Mighty Fortress” – comment by CB).

Reske goes on to make the point that in Luther’s time, congregations generally sang in unison (the melody). Part singing would be done by a choir.

The most interesting things that Reske says he learned while doing his research was that in 1524 a man was arrested for selling copies of two of Luther’s hymns. “Makes publishing today seem pretty tame!”

What does this mean for us worshippers here at OSLC? We’ll be inserting a Lu-ther hymn from time-to-time (of course the “Lutheran national anthem” is always on the ready. It may be interesting to note that “Luther’s Cradle Hymn” is proba-bly not really Luther’s writing – but don’t tell anyone.) Luther’s tunes may be a bit foreign but look for the theology of Love as we celebrate 500 years of Refor-mation!

Blessings and love,

Carolynn Bailey

News

Colossians 1: 11being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great en-durance and patience,

12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.

No doubt that God loves His children. That would be you and me! I don’t know about you but that is very encouraging to me. Let’s take a few minutes each day to read God’s Holy word and listen quiet-ly as we allow Him to speak to us. In His word, we find answers that no man has. We find true peace, joy, strength and healing for both our bodies and souls. We are to look to God with thankfulness be-cause He loves us and calls us His children, we can trust Him with all our needs!!! GO GOD!

It is also with GREAT joy that I share with you what is happening in the month of October. My daughter, Emily & her husband Brent, are expect-ing a baby girl around or on Oct. 30, 2016. I will not be in Johnson City for a short time after my grandbaby’s arrival. I plan to go back to Virginia and help Emily for a few weeks. I am so excited to do so. I will miss all of you! I will be available on-ly by phone if you need me. I am not scheduling any events for October after the second week. Should baby Selah decide to come early, what is scheduled will be cancelled or supervised by some-one other than myself. You will be notified of any and all changes. Also, You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers, every day!

Dear Lord, I pray to you with a humbled heart and with thanksgiving for the pastors of OSLC, the congregation, and all who are involved within this parish. I especially lift up to you family members and friends of Betty Marshall and Truman Billings. We

miss them but thank you that they are for-ever with you without worries, hurts, aches or pains.

Lord, you are the great physician. I pray to you as the healer of our bodies, souls, & minds. I pray for each member of OSLC that you will supply their every need both physi-cally and spiritually. Father, it is with a grateful heart that I serve this parish. Em-brace them with your loving arms and let them feel your presence as they travel this journey. I love you God and thank you for watching over them and keeping them in your care. God bless, Go God!!!
