January 2015 Voice.Pub The Lutheran Church of Our Savior January 2015 Volume 37, Number 1 The Voice News about our Vacancy Pastor Welcome to Pastor Les & Carol Stano! Pastor Stano was ordained in 1974 at St. Lucas Lutheran Church, St. Louis. MO. He has served congregations in Baltimore, Towson and Rockville, MD, along with teaching at Baltimore Lutheran High School. Pastor Stano served as a chaplain with the Veterans Administration and at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore. He worked with both Towson University and Goucher College as part of their campus ministries.

Carol Stano is a fantastic retreat leader and speaker, and has presented various programs for the Southeastern District, the LWML, and churches throughout the Southeastern District. LCOS welcomes the Stanos and we will be greatly blessed by the ministry they both will provide! What is Epiphany? In Western liturgical churches, Epiphany is both a specific feast day and a season. The feast of Epiphany falls on January 6 th (12 days after Christmas), and is a fixed feast, like Christmas, which means that if it falls on a Monday, it is celebrated on a Monday. (Although we are opt- ing to celebrate it here at LCOS when Pr. Stano joins us our vacancy pastor on the 4th of January.) The word Epiphany comes from the © James C. Christensen Greek epiphaneia , which means manifestation and it celebrates the revealing of Jesus as the Son of God. The gospel reading for the feast day tells the story of the wise men from the East and how they came to visit Jesus and offer him gifts of gold (a gift for a king), frankincense (used in worship at the temple) and myrrh (used in embalming, as well as in salves, including a salve for diaper rash). Quick Facts about Epiphany The season of Epiphany lasts for between three and eight weeks; from the feast of Epiphany un- til Ash Wednesday. (This year, Epiphany will cover 6 Sundays) The symbols which represent this season include the Star, The Magi, and the gifts they brought. The color for the season is white. In many places around the world Epiphany is a public holiday. th In the Eastern Orthodox Church, January 6 is when they celebrate the feast of the Nativity. Traditions There are many traditions associated with Epiphany. One tradition held that the Christmas tree be taken down on this day and burnt on a bonfire. In some European countries, such as the Czech Republic and Slovakia, children dress as the three kings and visit their neighbors’ homes. In their roles as the kings, or wise men, they sing about the Jesus’ birth and pay homage to the “king of kings”. They are rewarded with praise and cookies. Dia de los Reyes Magos is the Latin American celebration of Epiphany. In many Latin American countries, it is the three wise men and not Santa Claus who bring gifts for children. Children write letters to the wise men telling them how good they were and what gifts they want. In France Le Jour des Rois (the Day of Kings), sometimes called the Fête des Rois, is celebrated with parties for chil- dren and adults. The galette des rois, or “cake of kings”, highlights these celebrations. This cake is round and flat, sliced in the pantry, covered with a white napkin and carried into the dining room. Children in Spain fill their shoes with straw or grain for the three kings’ horses to eat and place them on balconies or by the front door on Epiphany Eve. The next day they find cookies, sweets or gifts in their place. The “three kings” make an entry in many cities in Spain on Epiphany Eve, accompanied by military bands and drummers in medieval dress. It is also traditional to bless homes on Epiphany, which can include chalking the door. In this tradi- tion, chalk is blessed and used to write the year and the initials CMB on the doors or lintels of hous- es, marking them as places of Christ’s hospitality. What follows is a simple prayer you can use to bless your house and ask God’s blessing on those who live there, work there, or visit in the coming year. AN EPIPHANY BLESSING FOR THE HOME O God, you once used a star to show to all the world that Jesus is your Son. May the light of that star that once guided wise men to his birth, now guide us to recognize him in the epiphanies of the daily experiences of our lives. As we go about our work, our study, our play, keep us in its light and in your love. May all who enter here find your gracious hospitality, for Christ has come to dwell in this house and in these hearts. May Christ bless our home! Amen. (You can then use chalk to mark your door in the following fashion ) 20 + C + M + B + 15 The letters have two meanings. They are the initials of the names of the Three Magi: Caspar, Mel- chior and Balthasar. They also abbreviate the Latin words “Christus Mansionem Benedicat”, “May Christ bless the house”. The year is divided before and after these letters. The crosses (+) repre- sent the protection of the Christ. Why do we do that? Why do we worship the way we do at LCOS? Why do we pray the prayers we pray, repeat the creeds we recite, work through the liturgy, and sing the songs we sing? All of the elements of our Sunday services replicate acts of worship found in Scripture and in the historical development of the Christian Church. Seeing what we do in this light can help us see our traditions as more than “we’ve always done it that way.” Instead, we can see that the Church has been “doing it that way” for a sacred reason for a long time. Each month in 2015, we will explain a portion of our worship service. When you understand the “why”, hopefully it will add a new level of meaning to the often repeated words and give you a re- newed sense of peace and connectedness with God when you participate in worship. Invocation and Confession & Absolution Our service begins with the Invocation, with the name of God (Matthew 28:19b). We invoke (call up- on) God to bless that which will be done in His name. We call upon Him, remembering that He has promised to be where His name is (Matthew 18:20). The Invocation also invites us to remember our baptism. In Baptism, God’s name was placed upon us in the Word and through the water. The sign of the cross is often made by worshippers during the Invocation to remind us who we are and whose we are because of Jesus Christ (Titus 3:5-8). As God’s children, we are called in to His presence to worship. Psalm 51 reminds us that we are sin- ful beings and in need of God’s forgiveness. In the Confession, we seek that forgiveness, trusting that God is present and ready to forgive (1 John 1:8-9). Through the words of the worship leader, we hear that by God’s grace and mercy we are indeed for- given. The Absolution speaks the Gospel into our ears and hearts. Through these words we again receive the salvation earned by Christ upon the cross. This is God’s forgiveness, not the leader or pastor’s forgiveness. Thus having our “slate wiped clean”, we commence to worship the One who creates, sustains, redeems, and sanctifies us. Prayer Ministry Kickoff Workshop We will be developing a whole-church prayer ministry, be- ginning in February 2015. This will involve short prayer ser- vices during the week, a suggested weekly prayer focus, education and resources to help you improve your prayer life, and an online prayer group. This initiative will kick off on January 24 ( NOTE CHANGE IN DATE) with a prayer workshop for all members. The workshop will be a time of learning about prayer and partici- pants will receive a “prayer handbook” with resources and suggestions for prayer. The retreat will run from 10am-2pm and include lunch. We will take a free will offering to help defray the cost of food and materials. Please sign up to join us for this day of learning and spiritual growth by calling the church office or emailing Sister Deb, [email protected]. This ministry is for ALL, men & women, young & old. As we begin a new year and a new time of ministry for LCOS, it is more important than ever to surround it all with prayer! LOL Women’s Ministry News (Ladies of LCOS) LCOS Book Club News We have a great list of books that we will be discussing in 2015! Our meetings consist of discussing the book and then we enjoy a meal together, either a pot- luck, something provided by one or more members, or dining out at a local res- taurant.

  • Chalking the Door: Blessing Your Home for Epiphany
    Chalking the Door: Blessing Your Home for Epiphany By Deacon Greg Kandra A beautiful Epiphany tradition will continue at my parish this morning, as a priest will bless chalk and scrawl markings over the door of the church at the start of our 10 a.m. Mass, carrying forth an ancient custom practiced in many homes around the world. Some background: The family gathers to ask God’s blessing on their home and on those who live in or visit the home. It is an invitation for Jesus to be a daily guest in our home, our comings and goings, our conversations, our work and play, our joys and sorrows. A traditional way of doing this is to use chalk to write above the home’s entrance, 20 + C + M + B + 16. The letters C, M, B have two meanings. They are the initials of the traditional names of the three magi: Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. They also abbreviate the Latin words Christus mansionem benedicat , “May Christ bless the house.” The “+” signs represent the cross and 2016 is the year. Blessing the Chalk V. Our help is the name of the Lord: R. The maker of heaven and earth. V. The Lord shall watch over your going out and your coming in: R. From this time forth for evermore. Let us pray. Loving God, bless this chalk which you have created, that it may be helpful to your people; and grant that through the invocation of your most Holy Name that we who use it in faith to write upon the door of our home the names of your holy ones Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar, may receive health of body and protection of soul for all who dwell in or visit our home; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

  • CHALKING the DOOR Ð Why Is This Faith Practice Important?
    Epiphany at Holy Comforter 2017 CHALKING THE DOOR ð Why is this faith practice important? Epiphany, which comes from the Greek word for “Manifestation” is when we recall the visit of the Magi to the baby Jesus. As such, it is a joyous time during which we celebrate the good news of Christmas made manifest to us all. The home is more than a set of walls with a roof. It is a dwelling place, a haven for rest and safety, a sanctuary where the rhythms of life unfold. Whether our homes are big or small, temporary or long- term, we are called to make room for God and God’s blessing. In Deuteronomy 6:9 God tells the people of Israel: “These words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house… You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” The point is clear: we humans need tangible reminders of God’s presence and God’s commandments. “Chalking the door” by inscribing letters and crosses above the doorway of the home is a tradition that comes to us from Europe. What materials are needed for this practice? Chalk of any kind or color. A doorway, preferably the main doorway of the home. The inscription can be written on the inside, outside, or both. How to do it. Mark your calendar: Epiphany is always on January 6 (twelve days after Christmas) so it can fall on any day of the week, but you can chalk your door at any time during the season of Epiphany.

  • The Twelve Days of Christmas Christmas Isn’T Just a Baby in a Barn; It’S a Rescue Operation
    the Twelve Days of Christmas Christmas isn’t just a baby in a barn; it’s a rescue operation. FIIIIIIVE GOOOOLDEN RIIIIIIINGS! Oh wait, just kidding. Thankfully, that’s not the Twelve Days of Christmas we’re talking about. (But you’re welcome for getting the song stuck in your head!) So what are you talking about? Did you know that Christmas hasn’t always been celebrated as a one-day affair? Throughout its history, Christmas has been a whole season according to the Christian calendar. A twelve- day season, to be precise—a season that is best experienced after entering fully into the season of Advent. Side note This guide is a follow up to our “Parent’s Guide to Advent” and thus a lot of this will make the most sense after reading and celebrating Advent. However, a great deal can still be gleaned from this guide regardless of if and how you celebrated Advent. But if you do want a deeper look at Advent and how it precedes a profound understanding of celebrating Christmas, check out A Parent’s Guide to Advent before or after you read this one! For those of you who did read and embrace the ideas in the Advent guide, and if you’ve managed to hold off on celebrating Christmas in its fullness for the majority of December, congratulations! It’s not easy. And now you’re probably asking what’s next? Read on, friends! What exactly is Christmas? It felt a little ridiculous to write that question! Who doesn’t know what Christmas is? It’s December 25, the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus by giving each other gifts and eating a lot of food.

  • Here Is a House Blessing for the New Year Or Epiphany
    Here is a house blessing for the New Year or Epiphany. I have drawn by hand the cross and the Chi Rho (an ancient Christian symbol). We make copies of this and put them folded into a zip-lock bag with a piece of chalk. We handed them out at our fall bazaar and will hand the rest out on Christmas Eve. We intentionally kept the liturgy simple to help it appeal to many persons, not just Episcopalians. The Rev. Anne O. Weatherholt, Rector St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Lappans 18313 Lappans Road Boonsboro, MD 21713 301-582-0417 [email protected] Blessing of Homes at New Year’s Background: A part of church history is the custom of blessing homes at the New Year. A family would hold a short service of prayer to ask God’s blessing on their dwellings and on all who live, work with and visit them. In this way, we invite Jesus to be a “guest” in our home, a listener to each conversation, a guide for troubled times, and a blessing in times of thanksgiving. “Chalking the door” or the door step may be used as a way to celebrate and literally “mark” the occasion. In the Old Testament the Israelites were told to mark their doors with the blood of the lamb on the night of the Passover to ensure that the angel of death would pass them by. Deuteronomy 6: 9 says that we shall “write [the words of God] on your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, … and you shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates.” Chalk is made of the substance of the earth and is used by teachers to instruct and by children to play.

  • Distinctive Traditions of Epiphany by Amber and John Inscore Essick
    Copyright © 2011 Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University Distinctive Traditions of Epiphany BY AMBER AND JOHN INSCORE ESSICK The Epiphany feast completes the season of Christmas by inviting us to discern the identity of the Christ child. Three traditions—baking a Kings’ Cake, marking a door lintel with the Magi’s blessing, and elaborating worship with lighted candles—help us interpret the Christmas season appropriately. o celebrate the feast of Epiphany is to continue down the liturgical path that originates in the anticipatory weeks of Advent. The feast Tcompletes the season of Christmas by inviting us to discern the identity of the Christ child. Like the Magi who anticipated, recognized, and welcomed the infant king, congregations and families can recognize and proclaim the appearance of God’s chosen one. Thus, Epiphany is the culmination of the Christmas season, not its ending. Recovering three historical Epiphany traditions—baking a Kings’ Cake, marking a door lintel with the Magi’s blessing, and elaborating worship with lighted candles—can help God’s people interpret the Christmas season appropriately. The KINGs’ CAKE Just as the Magi made a careful search for the child king upon his birth, so we should acknowledge that an important component of our faith involves seeking and searching for the Lord in unlikely places. One delightful way to celebrate Epiphany in the home is to prepare and eat a Kings’ Cake with friends and family. In this symbolic search for the baby Jesus, children and adults gather to eat a delicious cake or pastry with a toy baby hidden inside.

  • Epiphany Home Blessing
    Epiphany Home Blessing Epiphany (January 6 or the closest Sunday) is a customary time to bless homes and families. This blessing often includes a “chalking” of the front door with the year and the letters, CMB. These refer to the legendary names of the magi, Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar, or to the Latin phrase, Christus mansionem benedicat (“May Christ bless this house”). Another tradition is to take the first Christmas card received that season that bears the image of the magi and tape it above the inside lintel of the front door. Both traditions remind us to seek and welcome Christ every time we pass through the doors. - - - The family and their friends, holding lit candles, gather outside the open front door of the home, and all sing a suitable song, such as, “O Come All Ye Faithful.” Then, a leader invites all to make the Sign of the Cross and introduces the ritual. Leader: As the magi followed the light of the star, we too follow the light of Christ to be a place of welcome, a people of generosity, and a dwelling place for God. Let us ask God to open our hearts so that, as the doors of this home are opened to neighbor and traveler, this family may be a source of welcome for all in need and a place where Christ is found. Chalking the Door Leader: Let us consecrate this door and the home it protects to Christ who is the sheepgate. Let this door be the threshold that leads both ways to the blessings of God.
