Missio Dei by Pastor Trish

Our Consciences

In a recent article by Peter W. Marty in the “Christian Century” magazine, Marty asks the question, “Where

does the inner compass of conscience which helps us to make moral decisions come from?” It’s an intriguing

question to consider, especially for those of us who call ourselves Christian. In our postmodern world

relativism, a rejection of absolute truth, bumps up against a fundamentalist reading of the Bible that offers a

black and white interpretation of right and wrong. Yet if you’re like me, both of these perspectives often seem

to lack a reasonableness to them, especially when it comes to moral questions of our day. And in a world of

social media that only provides us perspectives consistent with what we already believe, I know I need to listen

carefully to ideas different from my own. So what role can our conscience play in our lives?

The word conscience comes from a Latin root, meaning “knowing together”. It’s a reminder that our

conscience isn’t just our inner voice, but our ability to consider and act with the help of others. People in our

lives and experiences that we have all help to shape our understanding of right from wrong. Marty goes on to

say, “I’m pretty sure that one of the benefits of weekly worship is the recalibration of our moral compass not as

a self-performing exercise but as something we do with the help of others. Fellow believers and the Holy Spirit

help repair damaged consciences by renewing hearts and minds in Christ.”

I appreciate his idea that worship helps us maintain our conscience. During the application process for

seminary I remember saying in one interview that I hoped my seminary education would help me to be able to

speak God’s truth rather than my own version of “truth”. I have long struggled with listening to others who

claim God’s authority in their words, and yet those words seem incongruous with my own understanding of

God. At the same time, I don’t want to claim my own understanding as an absolute truth and risk leading

others down an errant path. But when we worship together, we teach, shape and influence one another, and in

this way, we can all sharpen our individual as well as collective consciences. In my worship leadership, my

constant prayer is that God is working in me, using me to speak God’s word to you, rather than my own. At

the same time, I depend on you to form and inform me, letting me know when something speaks to you as well

as letting me know when what you’ve heard is incompatible with what you know to be true. Together, we also

share in the truths to be found in our liturgy, in the hymns and songs that we sing, and in the reading of

scripture within community. Working together, these actions can lead us to awaken and maintain our con-

sciences. In turn, good consciences are what we need to help heal a broken world.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said it this way: “Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the

question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right?”

When we worship together, we ask, “what is right?” and we listen for God to answer and direct.

Hilltoppers

On Tuesday, October 17, the Hilltoppers will welcome

back the Mountain Lake Gospel Singers with a program

of blue grass, country and gospel music beginning at

11:00am in the Chapel. Following the program we will

enjoy an Octoberfest treat of German sauerbraten and

potato salad. This will NOT be a potluck; just sign up on

the bulletin board in the narthex so that we know how

many to plan for. A free-will offering will be received that

day to cover the cost of the food.

Highway Clean Up

Highway clean-up is scheduled for Saturday, October 28. Join a group from CTK in cleaning up our section of

Highway 14. The group will meet in the Pfau Street parking lot at Christ the King at 8:30am and carpool to the

pick-up location. Be sure to wear appropriate clothing; long pants, long sleeves, tennis shoes or boots and bring

work gloves if you have them. Please sign up online and contact Justine Carlson with any questions.

Reformation Liturgy

As we get closer to the 500th anniversary of the reformation, we will be celebrating worship each week in a

variety of ways. God continues to renew the church in all ages. Expect a variety of contemporary, traditional,

and deeper sacred music to usher in the 500th anniversary. As we move into the future we build on the past,

revering the history of the church, and worship. The Church of Christ in all ages builds on its history, just as

the saints before us guided the church, the musical saints of the church such as J.S. Bach, Brahms, Mozart,

Dvořák, and many others helped steer the musical church to what it is today. The vehicle for the future of

church music is what we are doing now, band lead, organ lead, acapella, etc. How do we shape that future,

and build on it? With the 500th anniversary of the reformation we have made enhancements to the worship,

adding liturgical elements to all the services. This is important in the sense that the Lutheran church is a

liturgical church along with Catholics and Anglicans/Episcopalians. Weekly we celebrate Liturgical Worship

at 5:30 & 8:15 on the weekends. Our 9:30 and Weds. Night contain liturgical components as well. (See if you

notice them during worship!) With the 500th anniversary, I hope Christ the King can help culminate the past,

present and future of church music and liturgy into a worshipful, purposeful, and meaningful musical

element of praise for the coming days, months and years.

River Bend Handbells Ensemble The River Bend Bell Community Ensemble presents their 17th annual concert, “Pop, Rock, and Fun”, on

Sunday, October 15 at 4:00pm at Belgrade Avenue United Methodist Church. There are 5 CTK bell ringers

in this group and the concert will also include Garrett and Pastor John. Tickets are $10 at the door. Children

age 12 and under are free.

Reformation 500—Lutheran Church Bodies in America Family trees and lineages aren’t always the most interesting reading, but when looking at a church body

like the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, a tracing of mergers (and divisions!) can be helpful as we

learn where we came from, what issues disturbed us, and thus where we may be headed.

The Lutheran (or evangelical) movement began, of course, in Wittenberg, Germany. And in European coun-

tries the church organizations re­mained relatively stable, thanks to the tradition of state churches. For a long

time, it was the king who decided the religion. That began, to break down in the nineteenth century as some

Lutheran leaders, such as Hans Nielsen Hauge in Norway and the Saxons who would form the Lutheran

Church–Missouri Synod, chafed under rules they felt violated their consciences.

When Lutherans began to arrive in the United States, they came from several countries—and having fores-

worn strong centralized control from the outset, Lutherans kept thinking for themselves. Differences of opin-

ion formed, or were inherited, over issues such as relations with Christians of differing beliefs, membership in

lodges, and slavery, and theological matters such as millennialism (whether Christ will reign on earth for a

thousand years), predestination, and ordination. As a result, there are at least seven German groups, three

Norwegian ones, and two Danish bodies, plus Swedes, Finns, Slovaks, and Icelanders, that through a series of

mergers became the ELCA.

Unfortunately, divisions have continued, more recently over issues like biblical inerrancy, relationships with

other church bodies, ordination of women, and ordination and marriage of homosexual members. Today,

even though the great majority of Lutherans in the United States belong to the ELCA, the Missouri Synod, or

the Wisconsin Synod, there are more than thirty additional groups with ties to Lutheranism.

For Christians who follow the Lord who prayed that his followers might be one (John 17:11), such divisions

are a cause for sorrow and repentance. The ELCA, a product of mergers, labors and prays that unity in Christ

will continue to grow closer.

It was a successful endeavor for God’s Work Our Hands week of service. You will remember that this event

is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America – one church, freed

in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. We joined with congregations around the country to celebrate, but

we made it not just one day, but a week of service!

On September 9, about a dozen people served a lunch meal to over 70 at the Salvation Army, while others

operated an informational booth at Mankato’s PrideFest. The next day, about 20 volunteers of all ages stayed

after worship to bake cookies, which were used at Crossroads Campus Ministry and at our first community

supper of the year, while others packed school kits for Lutheran World Relief – 75 in all. On September 12,

7 people served lunch to hungry college students at Crossroads, and on the 13th, a hardy crew of 4 weeded at

the campus ministry center while 15 or so other volunteers packed 48 personal care kits for Lutheran World

Relief and 25 backpacks going to Partners for Affordable Housing.

Didn’t get a chance to volunteer your time this year? Watch for more opportunities in the future! Service

activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life

in Jesus Christ – every act of service, in every daily calling, in every corner of life – flows freely from a living,

daring confidence in God’s grace.

Refreshment and Renewal of Your Faith Interested in growing in your faith? Want to experience the power of God’s grace in you? Want to spend a

few days meeting and making new friends and leaving refreshed, renewed and energized for where God is

leading you? “Via de Cristo” is a structured three-day weekend designed to strengthen and renew the faith of

Christian people and bring them to a new awareness of living in God's grace. It is a combined effort of lay

people and clergy toward renewal of the church. The weekend consists of a series of short talks given by lay

people and clergy that provide “a short course in Christian living.” There is time for discussion, music, wor-

ship, food and fellowship. You can learn more at the MN Via de Cristo website. The weekend can’t ade-

quately be described, but is best experienced. All of the pastors at CTK have participated in these weekends

at one time or another, and now – there’s an opportunity happening soon for you. The next weekend in

southern MN is November 2-5 at Grace Lutheran in Albert Lea. The weekend begins Thursday evening, and

wraps up late Sunday afternoon. There is no cost to attend – all you need is a change of clothes, a blanket/

pillow, and a heart open to God’s grace. See Pastor Trish for more details and a brief application. Senior high

youth – a similar experience awaits you at “Teens Encounter Christ” – except the weekend is run by teens for

teens! The next TEC weekend is October 20-22 (MEA Weekend) at Grace Lutheran in Fairmont. Contact

Pastor Trish to get registration details and help with transportation.

Homeless Shelter at Christ the King? Over the past several months, a coalition of area churches has been working to establish an overflow home-

less shelter for Mankato. During the winter months, there are dozens of homeless people who are turned away

from the permanent shelters in town due to capacity issues. A pilot effort for overflow housing was attempted

last winter, and now five congregations have agreed to house up to 25 men, women and children for a week at

a time on a rotating basis. You may have read about this effort in the newspaper.

Organizers of the Connections Shelter approached our church to see if we would be willing to be the sixth

church in the rotation. We would have one week 3-4 times each winter. What would that require? We would

need:

to provide at least two rooms (one for men and one for women and children)

volunteers to help load in cots and bedding on a Sunday afternoon

volunteers to serve a snack when homeless arrive each night at 7PM

volunteers to clean up after the guests leave at 7:30am each morning

People to be the overnight host along with the Connections staff (one person per night)

Volunteers to launder the bedding and store it at the end of the week

Our church council discussed the topic at length on two occasions to clearly understand the potential facilities

conflicts and volunteer needs. It’s agreed that this effort falls squarely within our congregation’s mission to be

a “caring community committed to empower all people to know Christ and make Christ known.” However,

without folks stepping forward to help out in the various volunteer roles described above, it’s not prudent for

us to commit to hosting the shelter at CTK.

That’s where you come in: if you have passion and energy around this sort of ministry opportunity, please let

Pastor Patrick or Pastor Trish know that you’d be willing to volunteer. It’s a very worthwhile endeavor but

requires numerous committed volunteers to make it work.

With Jesus in the Prayer Gym: Finding Prayer Role Models—Job

“So how are you getting along with that famous Job guy?” asked our Personal Prayer Trainer. “With Job … fine. But with his so-called friends … yucky!” someone said. “That’s the way most people react. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar … not only a mouthful to say, they’re a handful to deal with. They do have something important to say. But before we get too far into the dialogues, pause at the beginning, the place where the three friends first come to Job. What did they do? What did they say?” “Nothing … absolutely nothing … they just sat there by Job.” Someone answered. “There’s a good lesson in that picture, a lesson in prayer. Perhaps you have heard the expression, ‘Preach the Gospel always and sometimes use words.’ That’s a pretty good motto for your prayer life too. Pray always and sometimes use words. Prayer of course is conversation with God. But conversing with God is a little different than conversing with humans. God knows your inner thoughts and feelings. Often those thoughts and feelings cry out louder than your vocal chords. And be as-sured, God hears!” Pastor Donohue Sarff

WHY do we have the Bible?

God gave us the Bible because he loves us and wants to have a relationship with us. In the Bible, God tells us who he is, his plan for the world, and how we can have a relationship with him right here, right now. It’s God’s autobiography; God’s plan for the world; God’s instruction manual for life. “For the Word of God is living and active.” Hebrews 4:12a
