    Christians are called to love and serve our neighbors.

    It is common for Luther to quote the Bible once or

    twice every paragraph throughout an essay. 33 different

    Biblical quotes are part of his 20 page essay,

    “Whether One May Flee From a Deadly

    Plague” (1527) Luther wrote in response to a question he

    received. “This I well know, that if it were Christ or

    his mother who were laid low by illness,

    everybody would be so solicitous and

    would gladly become a servant or helper….

    And yet they don’t hear what Christ himself

    says, ‘As you did to one of the least, you

    did it to me’ [Matt. 25:40].”

    Living Lutheran in ethical decisions includes a

    deep care and concern for the well-being of neighbors

    who live nearby and far away. It includes a comprehensive

    reading of the Bible. This type of writing is found in

    ELCA Social Statements on a variety of topics:

    Environment (1993), Health (2003), Race, Ethnicity

    and Culture (1993), and many more. Biblical references

    are prevalent in the social statements and root ethical

    decision-making in Christian faith and life. (To read

    more go to elca.org then search faith and society,

    social statements.)

    As we join in the observance of the 500th

    anniversary of the Reformation, we are part of a legacy of

    Living Lutheran in how we love and serve our neighbors.

    In Peace,

    Pastor Kristi Weber

    On October 31,

    1517, a Catholic priest

    and Bible professor named

    Martin Luther posted 95

    statements that he wanted

    to discuss. That action

    and the conversations that

    followed are often viewed as the start

    of the Reformations of the Christian

    Church in Western Europe. As

    Lutherans in the United States, we

    join our brothers and sisters in faith

    around the world as the 500th anniversary

    of this beginning is observed.

    At Trinity, the last Sunday of October is

    noted not only as Reformation Sunday, but also

    as Confirmation Sunday, when 10th graders Affirm

    their Baptisms (are Confirmed). This year is

    marks the 500th year since Martin Luther’s words

    sparked the Lutheran Reformation.

    We’ve been observing this anniversary by

    walking to Wittenberg, hearing Luther Moments in

    worship, studying Luther’s catechism “By Heart”,

    and in many other ways noted on pages 8&9. This

    month, I’m highlighting what Living Lutheran looks

    like as we make ethical decisions.

    Recently, I’ve been re-reading some of Luther’s

    writings. I am continually reminded of how central

    Luther’s reliance on the Bible is as he writes,

    particularly about ethical issues – such as how

    500 Years of Living Lutheran

    For by grace you have

    been saved, and this is

    not your own doing; it is

    the gift of God.

    Ephesians 2:8

    Memorials Off to Pingree!! Young at Heart will leave from church at 11:40 to travel to the Pingree Café for an “order off the

    menu” lunch. Each person will contribute $2

    toward the gas. Anyone needing a ride to the

    church is asked to call the church office by 11:00

    a.m. All seniors are welcome to participate.

    Help with Fall Bazaar Don your aprons, heat up your ovens and lefse

    grills, and check your closets, cupboards, and

    attics for treasures to donate! Trinity’s annual fall

    bazaar will be held October 14, 11:00-1:00. All

    women are asked to bring a pie for the lunch.

    Invite your friends and neighbors to join you at

    the bazaar!

    Thank You More than $840 was raised at the Mission Dinner

    on September 24 to support partners in the Central

    African Republic and Lutheran World Relief Quilting.

    Cut, Sew and Tie!! On Monday, October 16,

    anyone who can thread a

    needle and tie a knot is

    invited to come to the

    Fellowship Hall at 9:30 a.m.

    to join the quilters. (Willing

    hands would even help with

    the needle-threading if needed!!) The Lutheran

    World Relief quilts are assembled with simple

    knots in the squares rather than decorative stitching.

    lunch if you can stay through the lunch hour.

    The quilting will continue until 3 p.m.

    Volunteers are also needed to work at home,

    several boxes of lovely new material to be cut

    into 10 ½ inch squares to make quilt kits to be

    sewn into 60" x 80" quilt tops.

    If you have driven or walked in the alley east of

    the Church, you may have noticed a fresh coat of

    stain has been applied to the wood fence. Thank

    you to the Men of Trinity for purchasing the stain

    and to the volunteers who helped with this

    project. The volunteers were: Mark Olson, Tom

    Olson, Clint Tompt, Laurel Haroldson, Bob and

    Laine Toso, Jon and Peggy Schlenker, and Randy

    and Colleen Lebahn. The fence looks great!

    Trinity's second set of goals of

    the Connect Share Grow campaign

    enhances mission and ministry by

    donating 10% of gifts received.

    Trinity’s first recipient of a grant is ELCA Disability

    Ministries. These ministries include intellectual

    and developmental disabilities, mental illness,

    deaf and visual impairment ministries. In August

    our congregation gave $25,000 to ELCA Disability

    Ministries. This doubled their fundraising for the

    current 5 year campaign. We helped them Grow!

    To learn how they'll use the money attend the

    services on October 15 when Pastor Ron

    Glusenkamp, Director of Always Being Made

    New: The Campaign for the ELCA, will share a

    message about the impact your giving.

    GOD Squad GOD Squad is High School spiritual development time

    that happens in the Youth Room on Sundays. All high

    schoolers are invited to attend.

    “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and

    this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.”

    ~Ephesians 2:8

    Grace is a foundational and distinctive piece of our

    faith. This gift, undeserved and freely given, changes

    lives and perspectives as people realize they are

    enough because of what Christ has done and that they

    are called into the world to serve their neighbor and

    share the good news.

    This changes Everything! Our Youth desire:

    † Someone to become

    † Somewhere to belong and

    † Something to do [that changes the world]

    Ultimately, we want our youth to understand the fierce

    love that God has for them, just as they are, and that

    by grace, through faith, they have been saved. When

    young people (or really any age person!) truly claim

    this reality, it indeed changes everything.

    We look forward to diving deeply into this theme with

    you in the months to come!

    NOTES; GOD Squad begins October 8. No GOD

    Squad October 22 due to Confirmation Banquet

    PULSE Sunday mornings 9:30-10:30 Youth Room

    Sunday Morning programming for 6th-9th graders.

    This year’s theme, This Changes Everything, will

    help us focus on the gift of GRACE and the fierce love

    that God has for each of us. In September we had

    great conversations about Grace and Forgiveness.

    We learned how a single set of events, the death and

    resurrection of Jesus Christ, changed mankind for all

    time.

    As we observe the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Refor-

    mation in October, the youth and I will be talking and

    learning more about Martin Luther. Martin Luther

    was a German monk who began the Protestant Refor-

    mation in the 16th century, becoming one of the most

    influential and controversial figures in Christian histo-

    ry.
