Volume XLII Issue XXXIIII November 2018

Our eyes look back with thanksgiving. Our eyes

look forward in hope. Therefore, with

thanksgiving for the past and hope for the future,

let us dedicate ourselves and our lives to the

mission which God gives us as the Church of

Jesus Christ in this place.

And with hope and thanksgiving, we say

together… Thanks be to God!

In Christ,

Pastor Paul

2018 Annual Reports Please note that a brief Annual Report will need to be submitted to the office for each of our committees, so that it can be included in our 2018 Annual Report, which will be reviewed at our Annual Meeting, Part 2, on January 20

Annual Reports for each committee is December 15

God has blessed us and

brought us to this time.

God has blessed us and

brought us to this place.

For 62 years, God has made us His witnesses in

the world.

For 62 years, God has placed us in loving

fellowship with one another.

These are a few of the words that we shared

together on October 7th as part of our St.

Matthias Commemoration, where we

remembered and gave thanks to God for all that

He’s done for us for the past 62 years. As we get

ready to celebrate Thanksgiving this year, we

have a lot to be thankful for.

The baptisms of Benton Lee Blankenship, Alex

Cook, and Wynslow Grant Santavy, the

reception of new members into our church

family, the celebration of the First Holy

Communion for Sophia Bertoline and Lex

Oestreicher, delivering over 500 pounds of

produce to the Westmoreland County Food Bank

through our Community Garden, and so much

more! And we haven’t even mentioned all of

our relationships, abilities, and possessions. As

we get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving this year,

we have a lot of blessings to be thankful for.

And God is the one who provides them all.

With all that in mind, let’s reflect on some

additional words from our St. Matthias

Commemoration…

Sun of Righteousness

The sun is often used as a symbol for Christ, especially during church-year seasons that use prophetic imagery

and focus on Jesus’ second coming. Malachi 4:2 — “But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness

shall rise with healing in its wings” (ESV) — is echoed in the Christmas hymn

“Hark, the Herald Angels Sing”: Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!

Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings,

ATTENTION MEMBERS In April, St. Matthias began examining its membership registry. According to our church constitution, to remain on the registry, a member must contribute or commune once in five years. This activity must be recorded in church records. Those who have not contributed or communed in the past 5 years, and who wish to remain a member of St. Matthias, may contact the church office at (724) 834-2457. A letter will be sent out on September 1

st to those who are eligible to be

removed. Those who have not responded will

be removed from our church registry by Council vote at the Council meeting on November 12

th.

Thanksgiving Eve Worship

We invite you to start your thanksgiving celebration by worshipping with us on Thanksgiving Eve at

Saturday After Thanksgiving Worship Don’t forget there will be no worship service on Saturday, November 24th due to the holiday

weekend!

October 8, 2018

St. Matthias Church Council met Monday evening, October 8, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. at the church. All Council members were present

with the exception of Joe Schmitt. Also present were Eldora Crist, Treasurer, Eliot Moore, Tina Weimer, and Pastor Paul.

Devotions were read by Norb Georges.

President Fred Oestreicher called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. Agenda was reviewed and presented for additions or changes.

Motion was made by Wayne Himler and seconded by Andrew Harrold to accept the agenda as presented. Motion carried. Minutes

of the September 10, 2018 Council meeting were reviewed for additions or changes. Motion was made by Andrew Harrold and

seconded by Wayne Himler to accept the minutes as presented. Motion carried.

Treasurer’s Report: The September Treasurer ’s Repor t was presented and reviewed by Eldora Cr ist, Treasurer . Ending

balance in the checking account was $1,964.99. A motion was made by Andrew Harrold, seconded by Wayne Himler, and carried to

accept the Treasurer’s Report as presented and file it for Audit.

Pastor’s Report: Pastor Paul’s wr itten repor t for September was presented. Pastor repor ted that he had an Interment of

Vern Adams into the St. Matthias Garden of the Saints and attended the viewing for Jim Himler, brother of Wayne Himler. He had a

baptism of Wynslow Grant Santavy on October 7 and home visits with Constance Gazze and Lorraine Howell. Pastor attended the

Synod’s Resource Center Advisory Board Meeting, and also attended two meetings and a day-long workshop on Friday, September

21 with the Synod’s Revitalization Project. He met with Carol Bost of Church Mutual Insurance on September 17 to review next

year’s policy premium, which was a reduced amount. Pastor attended the Assistant to the Bishop’s meeting at Salem Lutheran

Church in Delmont on September 18. He attended the Al-Anon Anniversary meeting at St. Matthias on September 25.

Communications: We received a notification from Church Mutual Insurance that ter ror ist insurance would be $22 for

annual coverage.

Concerns: None.

Committee Reports were given.

New Business:

Florist: We recently used Thomas’ Flower Shop for our Sunday morning flowers. Valetta noted that the flowers were

excellent. Amy noted that the employees were friendly and professional, and they charge the same prices as Jones’ Floral

and have no delivery fee. We’d like to recommend moving to Thomas’ Flower Shop as our regular florist. Motion was

made by Norb Georges and seconded by Andrew Harrold. Motion carried.

Health Insurance Election: Each year the congregation is asked to choose a health insurance election for Pastor Paul.

The election needs to be affirmed on Portico’s website. Pastor Paul will affirm the election online in November. The Gold

Plus option matches what the congregation has offered Pastor Paul each year, and is the recommendation from our Synod.

Pastor Paul and our Finance Committee recommend using the Gold Plus option. There will be a reduction in the insurance

premium as Dana will be receiving her health insurance through her employer. The 2019 Health Insurance election will

only include coverage for Pastor Paul and Lindsay. This will also apply to the remaining time period in 2018 once Dana is

covered by her employer. A motion was made by Andrew Harrold and seconded by Wayne Himler to continue with the

Gold Plus option for Pastor Paul’s health insurance election for he and Lindsay. Motion carried.

2018 Annual Reports: Annual repor ts need completed for each of our committees for the Annual Meeting Part 2 on

January 20, 2019. Reports should be submitted in electronic format to Amy by December 15.

2019 Proposed Budget: The Finance Committee presented and reviewed the proposed 2019 budget to Council. The

Council-approved budget will be included in the November newsletter and presented to the Congregation at our Annual

Meeting, Part 1 on November 18 for approval. Also included in the discussion was a request for a salary increase for our

secretary, Amy Repak. Budget was reviewed, and a motion to accept the proposed budget as amended was made by Wayne

Himler and seconded by Norb Georges. Motion carried.

The next Council meeting will be held on Monday, November 12, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. Devotions for the next meeting will be

presented by Terri Santavy. A motion was made by Andrew Harrold and seconded by Wayne Himler to adjourn the meeting.

Motion carried. Meeting was adjourned at 8:52 p.m.

Respectfully Submitted,

Mary Lou Wolff

From Our Stewardship Committee Each month in our newsletter, we post the “Operating Financial Summary”, which posts both

monthly and year-to-date financial results for our offering receipts and expenses at St. Matthias.

As of the end of September, we are approximately $6,800 short of our year-to-date anticipated offering receipts, which is a $1,300 improvement from the end of August!

Thank you for your generosity! We’d like to continue to remind each of us in our church family at St. Matthias to prayerfully consider what amount they would like to give in their

offering contributions for the rest of 2018. Any and all offerings received are greatly appreciated, and help St. Matthias to reach out to others with God’s love. We’re hoping to

not only close the gap on our current shortfall, but also exceed our yearly goal of $130,000 in offering receipts. Thank you for your generosity, faithfulness, and cheerfulness in giving.

And thanks be to God for always abundantly providing all that we need!

.

On October 11 we met at 7 in the fellowship hall with Lorraine Howell

and Evelyn Malinish as hostesses. The women have turned in 86 US

Veteran Day cards to be delivered to the hospitals and VA centers. This

is a Thrivent Project and notes of appreciation and blessings were

extended to our men and women in our Armed Services.

Women of SWPA ELCA Cluster 4-FALL EVENT was Saturday, October 6, 2018 at

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Greensburg.

Many thanks to all those who made the Bake Sale a success.

St. Matthias Women of the ELCA will meet Nov. 8th for a

Planning Meeting. Come with ideas on what you might like

to see the Women do in 2019.

Christmas Luncheon is December 8 at noon at Redstone

Highlands. Everyone is welcome.

Happy Thanksgiving

The Season of Caring We are now entering the “Season of Caring” here at St. Matthias. We have supported these programs for several years and are pleased to help them once again. Note: The dates for all three programs are the same: start November 18 and end December 9

th.

These programs are:

Maxwell & Nicely Elementary Schools Every year we request the names of 10 children from each school so we can shop for Christmas gifts from their wish list. They are identified by the schools because their families are having financial difficulties. In the past we have suggested gifts be valued at least $20. If a list is lengthy, it may be a good idea for several members to pull their resources. Tags will be on the Jesse tree in the narthex on November 18

th. The gifts need to be at the

church no later than December 9th

. (Note: we are depending on the school for the lists, so the date the tags appear may be later.) There is a sign-up sheet in the Narthex. Sign your name next to the tag identifier when you take a tag. Add your phone number in case we need to do a follow-up. When you bring the gift to the church, please attach the tag provided. Place the gift in an open gift bag. If the gift is in more than one bag, copy the identify information on to another tag. Be sure the tags are firmly attached. If you have any questions, please contact Jean Kauffman or Bobbie Oestreicher

Bethesda Lutheran Services Also on the Jesse Tree you will find tags for Bethesda Children Services. We have

been supplying $20 Wal-mart gift cards for the children in the group homes. Our goal is 15 gift cards. These cards entitle the group home residents to purchase items they want under supervision of the agency’s staff. Bethesda, located in Meadville, PA, is one of

our synod’s missions. They provide care to troubled youth in a loving, supportive environment. The tags will be put on the Jesse Tree for November `18 and the target collection date is December 9

th.

Direct any questions to Nancy Ferrier

Welcome Home homeless shelter On November 18

th you will be able

to collect an Advent Blessing bag. Over the next few weeks you are to fill the bag with “blessings” which will be given to the folks served by the Welcome Home

homeless shelter in Greensburg. By blessings, they are asking for can goods, paper products, cleaning supplies. Please have the blessings delivered to the church by December 9

th.

If you have any questions, please contact Vickie Georges, Bernice Gruesu, or Arleen Hawk PS: A request: We know the BAGS HAVE TORN in the past due to the weight of cans, etc. They are provided as a helpful reminder for you. Please replace the paper bag with either a more substantial bag or box to make caring them easier. Thank you.

God’s work, Our Hands.

Wings and

Fins Sometimes I catch

a glimpse-

And realize why

we humans are

Your great

creation.

You gave us yearnings, imagination, curiosity.

We saw the birds and longed to fly-

So– we made wings-not perfect like birds wings– but

wings.

We saw the fish-we wanted to invade their world.

And so we went, deep into the sea.

Awe took tanks of air-not perfect-like fins-but we

went into the sea.

You must laugh, Lord,

At our feeble attempts to imitate You.

You must laugh, like a parent laughs in delight

When their children use their imagination and

curiosity…

And we say “Thank You, Lord,”

For making us...in Your image.
