St. John's Group Email An update on Robyn MdNew's brother, Ken Meyer: prayer request
Kenny is on hospice now with full comfort measures. He is going home to his own house sometime today. My sister Bonnie is here from Maine and is going to stay and take care of him. She will take excellent care of him because she is meticulous and because she loves him dearly. Ken will pass away peacefully in his own room in his own house.

St. John's Group Email Thursday, April 28, 2011
From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who, through Christ, reconciled us to Himself and gave us this ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the wordl to Himself, not counting their tresspasses against them and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
When you look in the mirror, or take a good hard look at yourself and your life, how do you regard yourself? Is it according to the flesh with all its failures, shortcomings, and brokenness? if so, you may find yourself depressed, angry, bitter, and discouraged. You may think of yourself as worthless and horrible. You may even wonder why God is keeping you alive.
Or do you regard yourself according to being "in Christ"? If so you see yourself as a new creation, the old has gone and the new has come. You regard your life as now hidden with God in Christ. You see yourself as you no longer living but Christ living in you.
In the passage above Paul instructs us to think of ourselves and each other in this way. He wants us to regard each other as we are, as brothers and sisters in Christ. He wants us to see each other as Jesus' forgiven and saved children.
If we regard each other according to the flesh and judge each other in such a way, then we will see nothing but sin, because our flesh, including our brain is full of it. If we regard each other according to the SPirit that lives in us, then we will see each other as we truly are.
I encourage you all to see each other, especially those with whom you have conflicts and troubles, the way the Father sees you. If you see Jesus in people then you will have no other choice but to forgive and love, which, after all, is Christ's greatest command.
Prayer: Lord God, help us to see Christ in each other so that we may fulfill the law of love and grow together in Christ. Amen.

QUESTIONAIRES TO BE MAILED ON MONDAY
As most of you know our church is going through a time that we call the CARE process. CARE stands for Congregational Assessment and Renewal. It is a time that we can take a step back and look at things that are going on in our church, assess what is good and bad, work on fixing the bad, reconcile and restore broken relationships, emphasize the good, and grow together as a congregation.
We took the first step last night with the congregational meeting, at which Pastor Gene Wyssmann and Ken Wesemann led us through the process and introduced different ways of thinking about our church and also how the process will work.
This coming week each communicant member of the church will get a questionnaire/survey in the mail (If there are four communicant members in yoru household you will get four surveys) that is two pages in length and will require your thought and input. It will come with a self addresses and stamped envelope that will get mailed directly to Pastor Wyssmann who will collate all of the information he recieves, discuss it with Pastor Wesemann and President Mirly and then come back to St. John's to give us recommendations on how to move forward.
I urge you to complete the survey and send it in. It is vital to the health and growth of the church that you do so.
God bless you as you contemplate the questions and answer them thoroughly.

St. John's Group Email Update on Friday storms: from the Missour District Office LCMS
I'm sure that you join me in giving thanks to our gracious heavenly Father for providing protection for all who were directly impacted by the severe weather in the greater St. Louis Metropolitan area this past Friday. The T.V. images are almost beyond comprehension, aren't they?
Saturday morning I phoned each church office and/or pastor that I believed might have been impacted by the severe weather. There were only a couple of instances where I had to leave a voice mail. From personal contacts I can report to you that of those I spoke with, no LCMS church or associated property sustained any significant damage. Further, only one pastor reported having a member that lost their home. Others reported some tree damage, yard debris, fences blown down, etc.
If you, a member, or someone in your community did sustain damage and are in need of immediate financial assistance, please contact Glen Merritt (314.996.1395) at Lutheran World Relief and Human Care. He and his department will guide you to the application process for such assistance.
Other agencies or organizations providing assistance are:
United Way's 211 is serving as the central information point for all activity related to the disaster. If you know of someone affected by the tornadoes, have them call 211 to access help. Operators are available 24/7. Dial 211 (just like 911 in an emergency) from a landline or (314) 421-INFO from a cell phone. Information is free and confidential.
If your congregation wants to help:
- Call United Way's 211 for volunteer opportunities. They are coordinating information on how best/where to volunteer. Dial 211 (just like 911 in an emergency) from a landline or (314) 421-INFO from a cell phone.
- Response organizations ask that you NOT just "show up" in a neighborhood to help as this could have unintended negative consequences. Please volunteer through a disaster response organization.
- Service International organized a clean-up effort today in the Bridgeton area. Volunteers were to report to Grace Church (2695 Creve Coeur Mill Road, Maryland Heights) and wear work boots/hard-soled shoes. While this work will probably go on all week, please contact United Way's 211 each day to see if volunteers continue to be needed at this location or at new locations.
- Please do NOT start a clothing or supply drive in your congregation. While these items may be needed down the line, at this point there does not exist a mass collection facility and the need for specific items is as yet undetermined.
- Be aware that the recovery effort will take months. Continue to be in contact with United Way's 211 for ways in which your congregation can get involved on an on-going basis.
- You can donate money to the following organizations:
- Lutheran Family & Children's Services of Missouri - designate the gift for St. Louis Disaster Response. They will focus on long-term recovery needs
- American Red Cross
- Salvation Army
- If you choose to donate to other organizations, please do your research to determine their reputation and effectiveness
God bless your day,
Rev. Ray Mirly

Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear on another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Galatians 6:1-3
What is the purpose of the church? Is it a bunch of individuals going about their own business and not caring at all about or for one another? Is it all kinds of different people looking out for their own interests? NO! The purpose of the church is twofold. The first is to bear each other's burdens. The second is to share the love of Christ with the lost.
Tonight we will take a look at how we have been doing this as a church and how we could be doing it better. We will learn how to go about fulfilling God's purpose for His church!
Please come to church tonight from 6:30-9:30 to talk about how we can better bear one another's burdens, how we can restore one another when we are caught in sin, and how we can fulfill the law of Christ.
Prayer: Lord God, help us to learn from our mistakes. Help us to grow in faith toward you and in love toward each other. And help us to fulfill Your law to love each other as you have loved us. Amen.

YESTERDAY'S QUIZ: Who was Jeduthun? (We'll leave it up for one more day.)
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
CATECHISM:
Question: Who must not be given the Sacrament?
Answer: The Sacrament must no be given to the following:
a. Those who ar eopenly ungodly and unrepentant, including those who take part in non-Christian religious worship.
b. Those who are unforgiving, refusing to be reconciled. They show thereby that they do not really believe that God forgives them either.
c. Those of a different confession of faith, since the Lord's SUpper is a testimony of the unity of faith.
d. Those who are unable to examine themselves, such as infants, people who have not received proper instruction, or the unconscious.

Peace
St. John's Group Email Tuesday, April 26, 2011
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-- Jews or Greeks, slaves or free-- and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body, that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body, that woud not make it any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear where would be the sense of smell? But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single member where would the body be?
The eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem weaker are indispesable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow greater honor, and our unrespresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more respresentable parts do not require. But God has so composedd the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the sam care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.
Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. I Corinthians 12:14-27
As you read through 1 Corinthians 12 and you think of your part as a member of the body of Christ, which part do you think you are? Are you a hand to give help where it is needed, are you a mouth to speak the good news ot those who need it, are you an ear to listen to people? What part of the body are you?
Tomorrow night from 6:30-9:30 we will be having a special workshop at church to talk about our purpose as members of the body of Christ. We will come to find out that we all have a purpose. No matter how insignificant or small it may seem, your purpose is as important to God as anyone else's.
The members of the church need you to be there so that we can grow together, heal our broken relationships and work through our differences, and flourish as the body of Christ in this place called St. John's Lutheran Church, Warrenton.
If you need someone to watch your children at your home please call me asap so I can get a babysitter set up for you. 456-2888.
Prayer: Lord God, help all of us who are members of St. John's, and therefore members of the body of Christ, to work and grow together to fulfill yur purpose for us! Amen.

St. John's Group Email Update on Robyn McNew's brother Ken Meyer
His body can't seem to regulate itself. Hospital is pretty much constantly trying to control his temperature, blood sugar, etc, etc. Yesterday he opened his eyes, but we realized later it was just reflex response. Yesterday, the doctor told us that he was unoptimistic because most people who fully recover would have had a better response by that time. Then again all the nurses and Doctors in ICU have seen miracles. Yesterday, his auto responses improved all day long, but early this morning the fever, shivering, etc. started again and continued all day and evening. A while ago his temp went up to 103 degrees, but was back down to 101.8 within an hour. We just continue to pray and wait and dread the possibility of him never regaining consciousness.

St. John's Group Email Wednesday, April 20, 2011 (amended)
DEVOTION:
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons. ... Romans 8:14-15a
Patrick is a pit bull, a breed of dog many people try to avoid.
Apparently, Patrick's owner should be included in that group. I say that because the individual, who will remain nameless in this devotion, tied Patrick to a railing in her Nevada apartment building. Then she went to visit some friends.
For a week she visited her friends.
While she visited, Patrick waited. Patrick waited for his owner's return. He waited to be fed. He waited to be given some water. Eventually a mailman found Patrick at the bottom of a trash chute. By then Patrick was curled up into a ball, unable to stand.
Patrick was rushed to a veterinary clinic.
The vets examined the dog and experience told them Patrick was a goner -- a dog without hope. They agreed that Patrick would die as he had lived: unwanted and alone.
That's what logic said should have happened.
What did happen was quite different. The doctors felt sorry for Patrick. They gave him therapy, a special diet and some transfusions. And Patrick responded. He put on weight. Before long a grateful Patrick started following his benefactors all around the clinic. Indeed, appreciation became a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week kind of job for the rescued pooch.
And at this point I probably don't need to say Patrick's story ought to be our story.
Because of sin and Satan we were chained up -- doomed and destined to die eternally.
Logically there was no other choice. After all, Scripture says the soul that sins will die. But God's Word also tells us, in spite of this logic, a gracious God sent His only Son into this world to rescue us. By living the perfect life that was beyond us, by dying the death we deserved, Jesus took our place and carried our sins.
Because of what Jesus has done for us all who have been given faith in Him will not perish but are given everlasting life.
This ought to take us to one other similarity between Patrick and us; like the rescued, no-longer-unwanted dog, grateful Christians ought to live their lives in thanksgiving to our Divine Rescuer and Redeemer.
THE PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, please accept the praises of those whom You have rescued. Because of Your grace, Jesus was made both our Substitute and Savior. May I be filled with a sense of gratitude for His sacrifice? This I pray in His Name. Amen.
