The pastor I knew while growing up, at least through my confirmation years and early adulthood was an avid boater. His vessels of choice were the ones that relied solely on the wind to propel them through the water. What little I understand about sailing tells me that it is still possible to sail “against the wind,” which Jesus said, “blows where it chooses.” Skills like tacking, to the port or starboard, they say are what helps the nautical ones navigate the wind, waves, and other elements to safely pursue their destination. There is, of course, something else which is vitally important. It is called ballast and it is that which helps a boat resist forces that may otherwise cause it to tip, heel or even capsize. When the weight of the crew is insufficient ballast or in the event that there is ‘rancor in the ranks,’ which means that the crew can actually become a liability as opposed to an asset for the vessel, something else, some-thing more stable and weightier is helpful to keep it upright. Many boats employ various shapes and sizes of keels to accomplish just that. The church, often likened to a boat (perhaps that is why there are so many ‘boat stories’ in the Bible) qualifies when it comes to analo-gies such as sailing. Congregations are born of the Spirit, are driven through the sometimes smooth and sometimes tumultuous wa-ters of time by that same holy breath. They are “crewed” by God’s people, each spiritually gifted in particular ways for “building up the body of Christ.” We can speak of a congregations “human side,” as well as its “holy side.” It seems all too frequent though that we neglect the latter. A congregation’s human side includes the things that we can both see and sometimes feel emotionally, like its his-tory, architectural style, membership size, style of worship. Each of these help to shape a congregation’s identity and can become both its opportunities as well as its challenges. On the other hand, a congregation’s holy side embraces and indeed thrives by the power of God that has brought it into existence for its specific purpose. Congregations are called by God to live their life according to a different set of values and to be living demonstrations to the rest of a watching world in order than some may ‘turn aside’ and at least wonder what God is up to around them. It can be both a delicate balancing act and an awesome responsibility to keep the ship afloat. Thus God has seen to it that the church remain ballasted, with gifted leaders – both lay and ordained, and by the Word. This month of October will find us, in good Walhalla fashion, celebrating Oktoberfest, and according to our Lutheran tradition, commemorating the Reformation. On that day, we are re-minded that it is the presence of God which ballasts us. The psalmist declares, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Jesus adds, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”You will soon have your new servant leader in Pastor Honeycutt, who, adapting the words of Flannery O’Conner, wrote, “The truth will make you ODD.” I think it an almost indisputable certainty. To be a servant of Jesus Christ will make you, as I said above, a living demonstration to a world that will often misunderstand you. But we do; and what my family (Nicole, Gabriel and I) have come to understand is that you are a gracious and loving community of God’s people, that authentically desires to “walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” We have been truly blessed and we thank God for the privilege of helping to keep us all attentive to the Word so that, well, to be honest, so that we can remain “odd.” We will cherish the memories we hold of our time at St. John’s and will remember you often in our prayers. In God’s Peace + Pastor Alan

Thank you’s….Thank you’s….Thank you’s….Thank you’s…. Dear St. John’s, On behalf of the BackPack Program of Oconee County , thank you for your gen-erous donation of $800.00. We certainly would not be able to feed these children without individuals like you.. Thank you, again, for your generous gift and for caring for the students in Oconee county. Sincerely, Deb Wickliffe Executive Board Secretary Education Foundation of Oconee County +++++ Dear Church Family, I want to thank everyone for all their many thoughts, prayers, and meals delivered to my home. A special thanks to the “Chefs” who spend their precious time cook-ing, preparing, and delivering those delicious meals. Again, I love my church family for their special caring for those people who need a little help during their time of need. God Bless to all. Dolly Johnson +++++ To all my St. John’s family, Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers, cards, and love. They are very much appreciated. See you all soon! Lucille Weigel and Family +++++ Dear St. John’s Family, I would like to thank everyone who helped to make the Tour of Tables a great success. Thank you to the ladies who decorated the tables, the door prizes do-nated, the wonderful rood prepared, and those who attended the event. You are all the greatest. Fredi Hallman +++++ Dear Church Family, Our heartfelt thanks to our St. John’s family for the cards, emails, calls and visits during Norm’s lengthy illness. It has been an uphill battle, but with your prayers and support, we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It is such a comfort to know so many are keeping us in their prayers. We love you all. Annie and Norm Henry

WELCA Words from Julie October, 2011 Thanks to all who contributed in any way to our biennial Tour of Tables. Not only was it successful, but also a lot of

fun. The net proceeds of $1133 will go to our Clock Mainte-nance Fund. I really appreciate all that you did. Special thanks to Marcia Lyle who stopped by the kitchen and saw that we really needed help. She stepped up to the plate and worked continuously doing all the things that needed to be done. Thanks again, Marcia. The Foothills Fall Conference in Greenville was attended by Dottie and Fredi. There were two speakers. The first was a representative from Bob Jones University who explained how their outreach program to assist Latino grade school children works. There are about 40 students whose parents do not speak English who are assisted daily with their home-work by BJU students and BJU teachers. The second speaker was a missionary who had been captured by Colom-bian guerrillas while in his extremely remote mountain-top village. Both speakers presented interesting and informative talks. We hope you're preparing and bagging baked goods for the freezer for Oktoberfest. Our booth gets a tremendous amount of traffic every year and we sell all that we have and wish we had more. The proceeds this year will be donated to Our Daily Rest. Thanks to a grant from the Endowment Committee, three cases(72) NIV Large Print Bibles were purchased for the Federal Maximum Security Prison for Women in Greenwood. We appreciate the committee's providing these to support believers and to share the message of salvation for others. The prison houses 7860 women. Thanks to Pastor Alan for leading our flock on an interim basis. We have been richly blessed by this very special man of God. Our thoughts and prayers are with he and his family. You are invited to share the love of Christ by leaving small pocket copies of the Gospel of John in any business that has a waiting room. There are hundreds of waiting rooms in our county and beyond. All receptionists have been very happy to have the six or so copies left on a magazine table. They are taken by visitors very fast and can be replenished as needed. Take all you need from the box under the Spiritual Opportuni-ties table and place a double handful or so in your car and they'll always be handy. We probably will never know those who are saved by reading these 60 pages, but God does. Even before they were born, He knew them. Make plans to attend, and bring a visitor, to our quarterly WELCA meeting on Sunday, October 16th at 12:15 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Bring a food item to share for lunch, the business meeting will follow. The Lucy Klaren Service Circle will provide set-up and beverages. Looking forward to see-ing you there. Your Sister in Christ, Julie

ELCA Assembly News….. To most of us in the USA, mosquitoes are usu-ally no more than a nui-sance. But in many parts of Africa, a bite from an infected mosquito could transmit malaria and lead to death. Today, we are

in a special moment when we could turn this around. Working through Lutheran churches in Africa, the ELCA Malaria Campaign is uniquely positioned to provide mos-quito nets, insecticides, medications, health care, educa-tion and more to eliminate deaths from this disease—for good! The Churchwide Assembly voted to launch the ELCA Ma-laria Campaign and raise $15 million over four years to fight malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. For ELCA partners in Africa, malaria is more deadly than war and HIV/AIDS. Some 800,000 people die each year from malaria. About 90 percents of those deaths are in sub-Saharan Africa. Most are children. In fact, a child dies from malaria every 45 seconds. It’s a disease from which campaign coordinator Andrea DeGroot-Nesdahl believes Jesus healed Simon’s mother-in-law (Luke 4:38-39). “The ELCA must always be a part of this fight! We need your support to succeed.” , stated Bishop Joseph Byumbwe of Evangelical Lutheran in Malawi. The action passed with two amendmenta. One acknowl-edged the malaria campaigns of full communion partners. And another asked that campaign gifts be over and above regular gifts to ELCA World Hunger. The campaign is a three year effort. Please see Dottie Brandt for additional information and questions about the campaign.

We had a great first month back at school. Everyone is settling in and enjoying

the activities. The children get to listen to Ms. Dottie read, Mrs. Marcia singing

and dancing with music, and Ms. Christen conducting a kid’s yoga class. Pastor Alan

has been helping us with Chapel on Wednesdays. The children have been learning

about creation this month and watching their faces as they make new discoveries

is a joy. Please remember our Wish List. We would love for you to stop by and visit us at the Preschool.

Thank you for all your support and we ask that you continue to keep this ministry in your prayers.

St. John’s Preschool Director
