St. John's Group Email Stand Down help is needed this afternoon at Holy Rosary
The Stand Down is beginning to wind down. They are in big need of help this afternoon to tear down and clean up. The more folks there are the faster it will go. If you can help even just or an hour, just go to Holy rosary and report to someone in charge, preferably Kia Philips. There will be plenty of work to do. Unfortunately I am not able to be there as that is when I am getting ready for and doing worship.
A LOT of people have used the services provided today, and still more to come in the next two hours. All in all it has been a relatively succesful event.
Peace be with you all!

St. John's Group Email Warren County Bookcase Project
I am part of a new organization called the Warren County Bookcase Project. It is basically a group who has gotten together to fight against illiteracy in our county which is, still today with all of our advancements in technology and ways to learn, a great problem.
Each four year old in our county's Head Start Program will receive an all oak bookcase (made by volunteers) with 20-30 children's books in it. These are all children that otherwise would not have this opportunity or this blessing.
What we are looking for is Bookcase Club Members who will commit to a $50 donation to build one bookcase for one child. If you make this commitment, you will be invited to a ceremony/awards baquet next Spring at which the children selected will receive their bookcases.
Please let me know asap if you are willing to be a Bookcase Club Member or if you would like to help build the bookcases.
In Christ,
Pastor

| For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:17 The South Korean woman's brother had been killed during the 1950-1953 war. Now she, representing her family, has received compensation for his death. The amount which the law has said should come to her is 5,000 won. Won is the currency of Korea. When 5,000 won is translated into U.S. currency, the woman received $4.33. Now, to be fair, the South Korean officials are embarrassed by the amount. They also say there needs to be a new law enacted for such situations. But until that law is proposed, accepted and implemented, $4.33 is the amount placed on a South Korean soldier's life. Let me ask, as you look at your children, at your grandchildren -- what value do you place on them? Certainly, more than $4.33. But how much? What is the price you would place on their lives? What would you do or give to keep them safe. Now if you're wondering why I ask the question, it's because the Heavenly Father asked it of Himself. Taking a look at sinful Adam and Eve, seeing the generations of transgressors that would come after them, He still said, "I shall send My Son into the world -- not as condemnation for these disobedient children, but to give His life so they might be saved." I don't know anyone else who would make that choice the way our Lord did. It doesn't make sense to have the innocent die for the guilty. It's not right for the perfect to be destroyed and the flawed to be kept. It's not right and it's not reasonable. Still that is what our gracious Heavenly Father did, and Jesus followed the plan to the letter. Examine the Gospels and you will be hard-pressed to find any point in His life where Jesus said, "Wait a minute here, folks! This isn't right. How is it I'm supposed to suffer and be beaten and spit on and be crucified for you guys, who can't do two things in a row without messing it up with some kind of sin." You can look for Jesus to say that but, if you do, you won't find it. Scripture says Jesus was about the Father's business, until the time came when He cried from the cross a victorious "It is finished." And it was. As the hymn writer says, "A Lamb goes uncomplaining forth, the guilt of all men bearing; and laden with the sins of earth, none else the burden sharing! Goes patient on, grows weak and faint, to slaughter led without complaint, that spotless life to offer." THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, for doing what we would never do, for sending Your perfect Son to save a sinful world -- we shall always be grateful. Keep us ever mindful of His sacrifice. This I pray in my Savior's Name. Amen. |

Perhaps most important of all is the feeling of safety. For the first time in possibly days, weeks or even months our homeless brothers and sisters can leave their possessions in the care of others and rest.
Stand Down is a place of miracles. Lives are changed and lives are saved. The founders of Stand Down had a dream. They made it a reality, one which continues to offer a true stand down for all homeless veterans.
Who organizes and delivers these services?
Thousands of caring volunteers and professionals give their time and expertise to address the unique needs homeless veterans.
I would love for veterans in Warren, Lincoln, Montgomery, and St. Charles County to take advantage of this day. There are not many resources in this area for the hurting, hungry and homeless.

| Jesus said) "Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion." Luke 10:31-33 Yue Yue (say You-ay) was a little two-year-old girl who lived in China. She was a modern reincarnation of the Lord's parable of the Good Samaritan -- only without the happy ending. Yue Yue was hit by a van in the city of Foshan. The driver of the van stopped, paused, and then drove off, leaving the girl in the road. Surveillance cameras show some bicyclists passing by the injured child, as did another person on a motorcycle and a woman who had her own child. All in all, a dozen people noticed the little girl on the road and passed on by. Yue Yue was eventually brought to safety by a rubbish collector. But that was only after the child had been run over a second time. She died in the hospital some time later. And the end result of the story? Some people in China are scandalized by the unconcern of the passers-by, while others are saying, "The laws make it too dangerous to help someone who has been injured." Scandalized or defensive, the little girl is dead. It is my hope that Christians would not have acted as did the folks in the surveillance tape. It is my prayer that none of us would uncaringly "pass by on the other side," if we saw such a little girl in distress. Why? Because we who had been injured by sin, who were spiritually dying because of our transgressions, have a Savior who stopped to help us. Logically, there was no reason for Him to have done so. There certainly was no reason for Him to sacrifice Himself, His life, His peace, so we who had rejected His Lordship might be made well. No, there was no reason for Him to make such a gracious sacrifice, but that is exactly what happened. And now we who have been forgiven, who have been healed and made whole are occasionally offered the opportunity to do for others as He has done for us. Spiritually, physically we need to try and copy the Savior. We need to help and not pass by. THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, when I had been knocked down by sin, when I was defenseless to help myself, Jesus stopped and did for me what I could not. For His gracious act of saving me, I am grateful. May my gratitude enable me to help others whenever and wherever I can. This I pray in my Savior's Name. Amen. |

St. John's Group Email Prayer request from Sandy Robine
Prayer warriors needed!!!!
When picking up ALOT of toothbrushes and toothpaste yesterday at Dr. Brady's office (Warrenton north of town) for use in our shower kits, I met an awesome woman, Burket, that was part of his office team. While I took the time to thank her for their generous donation for the Stand Down Dinner/Day, we got to talking about Jesus. Well, turns out that her son, who is 9 years old, has been VERY sick with fevers as high as 103. He had been in Cardinal Glennon but they sent him home telling them that they didn't think it was his appendix according to all the tests they ran. They don't seem to know just what IS wrong with him and what is causing the fever. Well, he IS home but still has a fever. All this medical attention with medical professionals, hospitals and pain and fever is compromised and even worse emotionally on "Rich" (her son's name) because he also has autism.
We ended up hugging and she was crying because she is really stressed over all of this. They actually live in Godfrey, Illinois; but she stayed working for Dr. Brady because she had worked for them for 10 years before they moved their practice to Warrenton. Also, he understands her concerns as a mother of Rich. I asked her if we could put her on our prayer list and she was VERY appreciative of that. She said she sure hadn't planned on crying and telling me all about Rich when I first walked in to get the toothbrushes. I told her that is most likely why God had "tweaked" my schedule "last Friday" so that I was unable to pick them up then. He knew Burket would need some extra emotional attention (and prayers & witnessing) on Monday! You would think I still wouldn't be surprised at how God USES each of us in SO many ways each and every day; but I am. Watch (and listen) today at how God can use you! Praise Him for leading us to those that need to hear the Good News and feel God's arms around them through "ours".
I just wanted to give you all a little bit of background so you would know about their situation when you pray for Rich and for his mom, Burket.
Thank you and God's peace on your day.

St. John's Group Email An update from Don Nolte regarding his knee
I was climbing a 6 foot ladder to plug in an extension cord in the ceiling plug and I heard a snap in the back of my knee. I made it through surgery and am back at home to recuperate. I have to see the surgeon this Thursday to have the soft cast and stitches removed. Being still is not my style and there is so much to do. Hope is it heals quickly or the restriction by the doctor don't last too long. I'm feeling fine and the pain so far isn't any greater than before the surgery.

St. John's Group Email updates on prayer requests
Ken Wagner is still at St Joes, St Charles and will probably be there at least a few more days.
Ed Kohrs had a stroke and is hospitalized at Lake St Louis. He is doing well, although it did effect the right side of his body a bit. After he is stable and strong enough he will probably be moved to Delmar Gardens, Ofallon for rehab.
Adam Klott is doing much better and will probably get to go home tomorrow.
Don Nolte's surgery went fine and he is already home from the hospital.
Anne Hoffmann's daughter, Leslie's surgery went well and she should be going home from the hospital today.
No more news to report at this time.
Peace be with you all!

DEVOTION: You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:32
While I am a fairly amiable person by nature, I'm not overly keen on a fellow by the name of Fauja Singh.
In part that is because Singh has just finished running the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. True, his time of 8 hours, 25 minutes, and 16 seconds is hardly the fastest in the world. Indeed, 3,849 runners finished the race before him and only five behind him.
Even so, that doesn't change the fact that Fauja Singh has a special place in my general feeling about marathoners. I've examined why I feel this way and have concluded I'm jealous. I'm jealous because marathoners do something I don't do, can't do and have no desire to do. But, having said that, somehow, and for a reason I cannot explain, feel I ought to try and do.
And if you wonder why Fauja Singh has been singled out for special treatment, I'm glad to tell you. Fauja Singh of Great Britain ran that marathon after he had celebrated his 100th birthday!
Almost as bad, Mr. Singh runs ten miles every day.
Pretty impressive, isn't it? One hundred years old and running marathons. It puts some extra weight behind the words of Leviticus -- the ones above which tell us to "honor the face of an old man." What Singh has done makes honoring him a very logical, reasonable thing to do. He has earned the honor.
But we dare not stop with honoring old men.
The passage continues. It tells us to fear, that is, to respect the Lord. Why?
Because the Lord has earned our respect, our reverence and our worship. Go to Eden. When there was absolutely no reason for the Lord to search out His disobedient children, He did. When He should have condemned them, He made a promise to save them.
Go to Gethsemane. There was no reason for Jesus to carry our sins, our guilt, our condemnation ... but He did. On Calvary there was no reason Jesus should have stayed on that cross and endured the pain and the mocking, but He did.
From the first pages of Scripture to the last we see a Lord who has in wonderful ways, unbelievable ways, earned the worship of His people. It is a worship which should freely, willingly be given by sinners who are washed in the blood of the Lamb.
THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, it is impossible for me to understand why You have done what You have done. Your love is so much greater, Your compassion so much deeper, Your faithfulness so much more dependable than anything this world can offer. In or out of Your presence may I show my respect and honor. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

YESTERDAY'S QUIZ: Where is Bethphage? On the Mount of Olives, on the road to Jerusalem. The name means "house of unripe figs." It was the limit of how far you could walk from Jerusalem on the Sabbath.
For ANNE HOFFMANN'S DAUGHTER, LESLIE, who is having back surgery on Thursday (the fourth in three years).

STAND DOWN DAY IS THIS SATURDAY
We are having a Stand Down and could use your help to get the information out to the public. The Stand Down will be in Warrenton Missouri at the Holy Rosary Activity Center, located at 716 East Booneslick. If there are veterans that would like to attend, but need transportation, I have drivers available to pick them up. Here's a little information about my Stand Down.
Stand Down will be held November 19, 2011 from 6:30am til 4 pm. Hundreds of homeless veterans will be provided a wide range of necessities including:
They will be greeted with respect and open arms
They will be greeted with respect and open arms

And last but not least meals prepared by VFW, American Legion, Riders, Community Volunteers and supported by God Cares, Holy Rosary, Missouri Career Center Warrenton, and the American LEgion Post 122.
Perhaps most important of all is the feeling of safety. For the first time in possibly days, weeks or even months our homeless brothers and sisters can leave their possessions in the care of others and rest.
Stand Down is a place of miracles. Lives are changed and lives are saved. The founders of Stand Down had a dream. They made it a reality, one which continues to offer a true stand down for all homeless veterans.
Who organizes and delivers these services?
Thousands of caring volunteers and professionals give their time and expertise to address the unique needs homeless veterans.
I would love for veterans in Warren, Lincoln, Montgomery, and St. Charles County to take advantage of this day. There are not many resources in this area for the hurting, hungry and homeless.
If there are any doctors that would like to donate their time to assist with this event, please contact Kia at (636) 697- 7620
