St. John’s Messenger

Volume 95, Issue 1 January 21, 2015

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Grace and peace be with you all! As I write this, the new movie “Selma” is scheduled to hit the theaters soon. It is the first full length feature film to present the story, or at least part of the story about the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Frankly, I wonder how much of it will present the many religious aspects and faith-filled motivations of his public and social ministries to fight racism. I hope that King will be portrayed as a spirit-filled and passionate pastor who worked for justice starting in his own neighborhood. He was named after the reformer that we know and love. I read many of his works while I visited the King Center in Georgia. Most of what he wrote were sermons and articles for his parishioners. Yet, he is well-known for his public sermon, “I have a dream.” It was not just a speech. The best parts were added while he was in the moment. The familiar refrains and echoes were not part of the original draft. They must have been Spirit inspired. I say this because they are accessible, theological, and biblical in vision. The depth of the message was that he hoped and we hope together for a day when we will live as God intends. Of course, he is also well known for his social activism and his nonviolent emphasis on working out injustices by appropriate conduct. His words demanding respect and upright behaviors in the face of corruption and violent oppression still ring true. Recent events throughout our country and world have highlighted the fact that King’s proclamation and interpretation of the radical words of Jesus continue to be a deep well full of guiding words. In a time when it seems that so many are interested in picking a fight and enflaming the drama, it is still comforting to hear his wise words speak of ways to get beyond the things that tear us down. He helps us to see what hatred, fear, and all forms of negativity do—kill. We celebrate his birthday this month, which is more encouraging than celebrating his death as a martyr (on April 4). Yet, I have often wondered why we do not see his peace-making work as a spiritual and religious effort. He is indeed listed in our church calendar of saints as a renewer of society and martyr. I appreciate the American Civil Holiday that honors him, but as a pastor, there is so much more to his life. Not only do I still find his sermon, “I have a dream” inspiring, but I pray that as he is in the great cloud of witnesses that surround us—that he would continue to help us find the nonviolent path to racial equality and peace. I pray that he would help us to see beyond the tone of others’ skin (or other superficial markers) to judge by the content of their character. I pray that we would be inspired to hear the call of Jesus to serve and help our neighbors and society with similar courage and integrity. I pray that there would be more pastors like Martin to lead us into that great one day. I pray that you would be able to discern ways that you could be more open, loving, and accepting. May we each ask ourselves, “Do my words and actions work for peace in my home and town? Do I judge others appropriately and show respect to those who are different from me? Do I use my power and authority for the good of others? Do I show forgiveness to those who have wronged me? May we as co-workers in the kingdom, lift up his example and strive to live lives worthy of Christ’s calling to us. May we build up and not tear down, share love and turn aside from hate. In Christ’s Love and Service,

Pastor Fitch

Congregation Meeting ScheduledSunday, January 25

There will be a brief meeting during the 10:15 a.m. service. Purpose of the meeting will be to review 2014 activities and programs of St. John’s.

Grace and peace to you from the Call Committee,

“Just a minute” was a frequent reply of mine as a kid as I stalled mom or dad. As you can guess it was never a minute, which caused my grandmother to quip that she would like to hire me by the hour! When we are waiting for someone or some event, waiting can become tedious. We are told to be patient, but that is easier said than done.

But waiting is nothing new for God’s people. Much of the Bible is filled with stories of waiting. Moses and his people waited to be freed from Egypt, only to spend 40 years wandering and waiting in the desert before they would enter the Promised Land. The Israelites waited for a king, the coming Messiah. The early church was sure that the second coming was imminent.

I know everyone at St. Johns is waiting for news that we have a new pastor, and yet you have not heard of any progress. Frustration and disappointment can test one’s faith. The call process began as promised with three candidates offered in relatively short time early last summer. Following five interviews, the first group of three was dismissed, and we asked Synod for another slate of candidates. After a protracted period, we asked that the search be expanded to less experienced pastors in the hopes of widening the field of possibilities, and receiving a new group of three candidates as the process had been outlined. November brought one more interview that failed to bear fruit. We will be meeting a fifth pastor shortly and pray for success this time.

I confess that I find my own faith challenged in the call process as I let my own impatience fill my head with thoughts of blame and doubt. But 1 Samuel tells us that the lack of patience can cause us to miss a blessing. God’s time is not the same as our time. Through the call process we are to remain faithful, and trust the Lord, the Holy Spirit will deliver the right shepherd to us.

Meanwhile, I am bolstered by your faithfulness. You continue to worship. You serve and minister to your fellow members who may be sick, unemployed, mourning the loss of a loved one, and you have kept our church going. You should be proud of that. St. Johns may not have a pastor, but you have proven to be ministers. We are called to serve. I pray that you continue to attend Sunday worship. Be rejuvenated by the smiles and handshakes during the sharing of the peace. Lift the spirits of a friend and exchange smiles. You are among family. We have all been given talents and blessings that can be used to keep our ministry going. Meanwhile, the Call Committee asks for your continued patience and prayers, and that you have faith in the Holy Spirit’s guidance through the call process.

Faithfully yours,Mike Erdley, for the Call Committee

We extend a warm welcome toTeresa Meisinger, and

Sand Dollar These pretty shells inshades of white, brown or purple are from sea urchins related to starfish and sea cucumbers. The shell's unique characteristics call to mind Christ's birth and death: the poinsettia- and lily-like images, holes representing the four nails and spear that pierced Jesus, small bones inside the shell resembling doves and thus symbolizing the Holy Spirit.

Commandment #11During the 17th century, an archbishop traveling through Scotland met theologian Samuel Rutherford but kept his identity secret. Rutherford invited the man to stay with him. When Mrs. Rutherford gathered the servants on Saturday to prepare for worship the next day, the guest joined in and was asked a basic question: “How many commandments are there?”

When the guest replied “11,” Mrs. Rutherford said, “What a shame it is for you, a man with gray hairs, in a Christian country, not to know how many commandments there are!”

The next morning, Rev. Rutherford went out in the woods to pray and heard his guest doing likewise. When he discovered the archbishop’s identity, Rutherford invited him to preach that morning. The archbishop’s topic? The 11th commandment, based on Jesus’ words in John 13:34 — “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another” (ESV).

Staying Fed“How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” (Psalm 119:103, NRSV).

Recently I was confronted with this question: If you fed yourself with food the way you feed yourself with God’s Word, would you still be alive? It gave me pause.

Do I eat enough spiritually? — feast regularly enough on Scripture to keep up my energy and the health of my soul? Do I eat nutritiously? — take in a balanced meal of law and gospel, comfort and commandments, prophecy and promise? Do I pass up spiritual junk food? — set aside empty calories that lead to disease, in order to hunger for what truly gives life? Do I drink enough Living Water to avoid faith dehydration? And once in a while, do I splurge on dessert? — savor the sweetness and joy of belonging at God’s table?

What abundance God sets before us. May we never skip a “meal”!

—Heidi Mann

A Potluck of People

Many congregations enjoy gathering for potluck dinners — meals largely unplanned, when people bring food to share. Usually, the main dishes,

salads and desserts balance out. The fun is the variety mixing together on a plate and the surprise factor of what’s contributed.

Churches and communities — even families — are potlucks of a sort, too. When groups assemble, each person contributes something unique and sometimes unexpected. When all is mixed together, the whole is truly greater than the sum of the parts. A beautiful balance often results: One is a good singer, the other writes well; some are strong leaders, others dependable team members; some are traditional, others innovative. Together, it’s delicious!

Potlucks are sometimes called covered-dish dinners. But don’t keep your gifts “covered”! Share them because
