TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

October 21, 2018

________________________________________________________________________________

AS WE GATHER

Our Creator has woven the gift of rest into the fabric of His creation. If God Himself enjoyed His day of rest, His Sabbath, shouldn't we? Rest isn't a good work that we do to please God. Rest is the absence of our work; it's receiving the grace that is offered to us through Christ's work on the cross of Good Friday and the empty tomb of Easter. Today our gracious Father invites us to enter into His rest, His Sabbath, sharing in the benefits of what His Son has done. Jesus has already done the work—savor it! Rest in His presence as He serves you with His living and active Word and as He prepares His Table of grace for you to enjoy.

People: too often we pull away from the peace You promise to Your children. Forgive us for the ways in which our thoughts, our words, and our actions go against Your will for our lives.

In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, whose work on the cross has secured our place in Your kingdom, renew us and lead us that we may rest in Your presence. Amen.

Pastor:  Jesus says, "Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Receive the rest for your souls that only Jesus' work has secured.

DAILY DEVOTION AND CHURCH NEWS: Monday, Oct. 15, 2018

DEVOTION: Ecclesiastes 5:10-20 English Standard Version (ESV)

¹⁰ He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity. ¹¹ When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes? ¹² Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eats little or much, but the full stomach of the rich will not let him sleep.

¹³ There is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by their owner to his hurt, ¹⁴ and those riches were lost in a bad venture. And he is father of a son, but he has nothing in his hand.¹⁵ As he came from his mother's womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand. ¹⁶ This also is a grievous evil: just as he came, so shall he go, and what gain is there to him who toils for the wind? ¹⁷ Moreover, all his days he eats in darkness in much vexation and sickness and anger.

¹⁸ Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment^[a] in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot.¹⁹ Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God. ²⁰ For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.

PUBLISHED BY THE MISSOURI DISTRICT OF THE LUTHERAN CHURCH—MISSOURI SYNOD October 12, 2018 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 In this issue: Senior High Students Get Long-term Growth from Weekend of Faith and Fellowship Do You Ever Wish You Had Training for Being a Pastor's Wife? Building the Reason Future Members Will Come to Your Congregation Events and Announcements We're pleased to publish the proceedings for the 2018 convention. Click here to download the 2018 Missouri District Convention Proceedings.   Senior High Students Get Long-term Growth from Weekend of Faith and Fellowship   Few parents would say being a teenager is easy. In addition to school, teens face pressure and uncertainty in their relationships and from American culture. And then there's social media. The Missouri District Senior High Youth Gathering offers a chance for teens to take a step back and strengthen their faith. Registration for the 2018 fall Senior High Youth Gathering is now open. The event is Nov 16 to 18 at Crossp Pointe Retreat Center in Rocky Point, Mo. The weekend includes time for recreation, with escape rooms, a rec center, S'mores and games. There will also be devotions, worship and breakout sessions. Register here. A Brief Pause from Hectic Schedules Jeffrey Kullmann, a volunteer at Salem Lutheran Church in Affton, has been to every Missouri District Youth Gathering since 1996. He says, "The event makes a positive difference in the lives of high school youth. It is a quick weekend that helps them pause from the craziness of life, have some fun, make new friends, solidify current friendships and reflect on what God has done for them and how much He loves them." Hannah DeCuir, a college sophomore and member of Salem Lutheran Church agrees. She says these events are "definitely something that everyone should take advantage of because they're an opportunity to grow in your faith and also meet people the same age from all over the state, who share the same faith. It's so much fun to go on this trip and meet new people and spend time with your youth group family while learning more about your faith and serving the community." District Gatherings Provide Value in Times of Both Joy and Sadness This year's gathering will include (among other topics) attention to issues such as depression and suicide and how we face them as Christians. Recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics updated their guidelines because up to one in five teens will experience depression. Hannah believes these events can lift teens up in troubled times, pointing out, "This trip is good for people that are struggling with their faith, too. Sometimes believing and maintaining your faith is hard especially when life is always throwing you curveballs, but you'd be surprised what a weekend trip like this can do with the right mindset." Jeffrey has seen this many times of the years as well, pointing out, "When teens start to struggle with things like school or relationships, they are reminded of the promises of God, that were strongly taught at the District Youth Gatherings." Registration is now open. Sign up today. The Impact of District Youth Gatherings Outlast the Weekend Though the District Youth Gatherings occur over a few days, the wisdom and joy students receive continues to grow long after they return home. This leads to a long-term strengthening of both faith and relationships that students can carry with them for years to come. DCE Andrew Nelson, Director of Family Life at Chapel of the Cross Lutheran Church, observes, "This event is a meaningful connection point for the youth and adults who attend. Upon returning home, there is a shared experience for those who attend. The relationships built and memories shared during a weekend like this help establish a foundation for our ministry throughout the year." Jeffrey has also seen the lasting effects of this weekend. He notes, "We have been blessed, because when we go, most if not all of our group comes home with hearts on fire for God. They are energized and ready to serve God in their homes, schools, neighborhoods and communities." To help your students reap the benefits that can only be found at the District Youth Gathering, register today.   Register here Do You Ever Wish You Had Training for Being a Pastor's Wife? Pastors' Wives Invited to Retreat Nov. 3 and Nov. 10 by Mrs. Kathy Chinberg, a pastor's wife, chair of the Pastor's Wives Retreat Committee,  and member of the District's Ministerial Health Committee This past year, in the months leading up to the royal wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, one could access numerous magazine and internet articles on the training that Meghan Markle was receiving in order to become one of the royal family.  Among her many lessons she had to learn to curtsy properly, master the royal wave, get briefed on many of the British traditions,  practice appropriate use of dinner cutlery, and rehearse slanting her legs instead of crossing them.  Apparently the life of a princess is more complex than Disney movies would have us believe. Several years ago I was approached by a bright young woman who asked me where I went to "pastor's wife training." Had I not been looking her in the eye I would have thought she was joking, but she was not. When I asked for further explanation to her question she said this. "You know, where did you receive training on how to be a pastor's wife: what to wear, how to play the piano, lead the choir, host people in your home and teach Sunday School?" Apparently the life of a pastor's wife is more complex (in the eyes of others) than I had believed! The role of a pastor's wife is certainly unique, and while it can bring countless joys and unbelievable opportunities, it may also be accompanied with unrealistic expectations from those within the church. The life of a pastor's wife may even leave a woman in that role feeling puzzled as to where she might fit in and contribute using her unique personality, gifts and talents. Realizing the distinctive role in which the pastor's wife serves, we would like to offer opportunities for them to gather for fellowship, encouragement, care (and fun!). This fall the Missouri District will be supporting and encouraging pastors' wives to attend one of two retreats:     Greater St. Louis Area Nov. 3, 2018 King of Kings Lutheran Church Chesterfield, MO   Greater Kansas City Area Nov. 10, 2018 Timothy Lutheran Church  Blue Springs, MO Both retreats will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The retreat theme for both of these events is "Puzzled." It is the desired outcome of the retreat that each pastor's wife will be affirmed that they are an important piece of God's perfect plan. Invitations have been sent, but if, for some reason, you, or your pastor's wife did not receive one, please contact the district office, or Kathy Chinberg ( dwchinberg@sbcglobal.net). We hope that the pastors' wives of Missouri will be able to attend one of the two retreats in November!  Building the Reason Future Members Will Come to Your Congregation   The role of a Plus One coach may surprise people who haven't been through this process. Ken Lampe, who coached Redeemer Lutheran Church through the Plus One process says, "My main focus is to listen and ask questions." Redeemer Lutheran Church ultimately created a kidney disease support group for their Plus One initiative. However, they initially considered other ideas as well.   Plus One is a district-wide initiative that encourages every congregation to find a new way to step into their communities. Ken believes one of the biggest strengths of the Plus One process is that it celebrates the many distinctions of different congregations, allowing churches to ascertain their strengths, opportunities and gifts. While Redeemer Lutheran Church has found success with the kidney disease support group, Ken does not expect that to be the answer for other congregations embarking on the Plus One process.   A New Experience for Coach and Congregation   Ken says he didn't know exactly what to expect with his first experience coaching a congregation through Plus One. The idea for the kidney disease support group came from Ken Oziah, a member who experienced significant upheaval when going on dialysis. The group thought it likely the area already had such a support group, but to their dismay, none existed. That meant there was palpable and urgent unmet needs right in their back yard.   Ken believes the coaching is a unique advantage to Plus One participation. A big part of that process is encouragement and resources. Some congregations may have gotten into a bit of a rut, doing the same outreach year after year. Plus One offers a fresh perspective, but ultimately, it's the congregation's choice about how to reach out to their community. Ken says that while he may share success stories if he thinks it will help, his main job is to guide the congregation to success in their own ideas.   Additional Resources   Plus One coaches are trained in LCEF demographic studies, which can also help congregations evaluate opportunities for outreach within their communities. They can also suggest partnerships or help congregations collaborate with other community leaders to evaluate need and decide where to start.   Contact Rev. Bill Geis to get started with Plus One today! 314-590-6205 or bill.geis@mo.lcms.org   Announcements & Other News St. Louis Area Volunteers Needed for Laborers for Christ On behalf of Lutheran Development Group, Laborers for Christ is looking for volunteers from local St. Louis churches to work on the 3500 block of Oregon.

Sr. High District Youth Gathering Nov. 16 to 18 This year our District Youth Gathering Theme will simply be "I AM." In Exodus 3 Moses encounters God at the burning bush.  It is here that God gives Moses his personal name, Yahweh, and the authority of "I AM" to go to the people of Israel.  His message: "I AM" has seen your affliction and I will bring you up out of it!  Today young Christians experience many different kinds of afflictions – personal, emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical – and God is the one who delivers us from these afflictions.  Join us as we gather together to worship, experience the Living Word of God  November 16-18, 2018 at Cross Pointe Retreat Center in Rocky Mount, MO.  Several of our interest centers will focus on common afflictions that we face as Christians such as depression and suicide.  We will also have interest centers focusing on sharing the Word of God with others. Specific Interest Center presenters and other information will be available soon.  Click here for more information. Click Here to Register!
