Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church of Dover PA Building on 500 Years of Lutheran Heritage Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church Of Dover PA Building On 500 Years of Lutheran Heritage The Rev. John M. Woods, Pastor www.calvarylutherandover.org 717-292-3891 October 1, 2017 WELCOME TO CALVARY “The Holy Spirit calls us together as the people of God!” Thank you for worshipping with us today. You are always welcome at Calvary! The Seventeenth Sunday After Pentecost- October 1, 2017 Traditional Worship Bulletin: Page 7, Contemporary Worship Bulletin: Page 16 Jesus’ parable about two sons who don’t do what they say reveals surprises in the reign of God, such as prostitutes and tax collectors going before others into God’s kingdom. In the reading from Ezekiel the people question whether the ways of the Lord are unfair; instead they are to repent and turn to the Lord. Paul urges us to look to Christ as a model of humility, looking to the interests of others above our own. Nourished by the broken bread and shared cup, we offer our lives for the sake of our needy world. We are honored to have the “Traveling 95 Theses” on display at Calvary Today! Commemorations for this week… Francis of Assisi, renewer of the church, died 1226 Wednesday, October 4, 2017 Born into the family of a wealthy merchant, Francis gave up his inheritance to serve poor people. He formed the Order of Friars Minor (called Franciscans), who took on poverty and the task of preaching "using words if necessary." Francis had a spirit of gratitude for all of God's creation. Theodor Fliedner, renewer of society, died 1864 Wednesday, October 4, 2017 Fliedner helped to bring about a revival of the ministry of deaconesses among Lutherans. He was influenced in this by Moravian deaconesses he had met. The motherhouse he founded in Kaiserswerth, Germany, inspired many around the world to take up this ministry. William Tyndale, translator, martyr, died 1536 Friday, October 6, 2017 Tyndale was ordained a priest in England, and wished to translate the Bible into English. He was opposed in this by King Henry VIII, causing him to flee to Germany. He completed the New Testament in 1525, but before he could finish the Old Testament, he was tried for heresy and burned at the stake. Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, pastor in North America, died 1787 Saturday, October 7, 2017 Divided Lutherans in America asked leaders in Europe to send someone who could take charge and unite their work. Muhlenberg was sent, and was effective in organizing the American Lutherans. Among other accomplishments, his liturgical principles became the basis for the Common Service of 1888. The Sanctuary is a place of reverence and worship to honor our Lord. Please...do not bring beverages or food into the Sanctuary, however you may have these items in the other areas of the church.

  • On the Life and Faith of Florence Nightingale by Lynn Mcdonald, CM, Phd, LLD (Hon.), Professor Emerita
    Reflection presented by Rev. Faye Greer 2020-05-17 On the Life and Faith of Florence Nightingale by Lynn McDonald, CM, PhD, LLD (Hon.), professor emerita (Note: The following reflection is offered for use in churches for the celebration of the bicentenary of Florence Nightingale’s birth, which was in 1820. Observances are taking place throughout 2020 to commemorate her.) Florence Nightingale was the founder of modern nursing. Despite family pressures to marry and live as a conventional wealthy woman, she considered her dedication to nursing to be a response to God’s call to care for the sick. Her success in radically lowering the death rate of wounded soldiers during the Crimean War (1853–1856) led to society’s acceptance of her proposals for better sanitation and nutrition, accurate medical knowledge, and professionally trained nurses. Selected Life Events Year Event 1820 born in Florence, Italy, to a wealthy British family (May 12) 1837, 1850 felt called by God to dedicate her life to nursing as a single woman 1850 visited Pastor Theodor Fliedner’s Lutheran deaconess community 1854–1855 worked as superintendent of a women’s hospital 1860 organized a nurses’ training school in London, England 1910 died in London (August 13) Florence Nightingale was baptized in the Church of England in the city of her birth, Florence, Italy. Three of her grandparents were Unitarians, but the one grandparent she knew was fiercely evangelical Church of England. Nightingale never identified as a Unitarian but remained in the Church of England, much as she disagreed with its social and theological conservatism.

The vaccine allows Americans the luxury of protection against this deadly virus. As Christians, we need to share the wealth. Many poorer nations do not have the resources to acquire vaccines. So, with the help of Lutheran World Relief, let’s help others gain access to this drug. The Endowment Fund has secured $5,000 in matching funds to support this cause.

  • “Müde Bin Ich, Geh' Zur Ruh”: the Story of a Children's Prayer
    REFLECTION “Müde bin ich, geh’ zur Ruh”: The Story of a Children’s Prayer Margaret Loewen Reimer The children’s prayer, Müde bin ich, geh’ zur Ruh, is dear to the heart of many Mennonites who grew up in German-speaking homes. A recent request for an English translation sent me on a quest to discover what was available. The translations I found were unsatisfactory, and so I resumed work on my own translation, which I had begun years ago. Meanwhile, I decided to trace the origins of this classic little prayer. The search uncovered a surprisingly rich story. Müde bin ich first appeared in a songbook for nursery school children compiled by Theodor Fliedner in Kaiserswerth, Germany in 1842.1 That is why the tune is sometimes identified as “Kaiserswerth” or “Fliedner.” It is likely that the melody is based on a popular folk tune, as are many familiar hymns. The words were written by Luise Hensel (1798-1876), a widely-read religious poet and hymn writer, and a woman who led a remarkable life.2 Hensel’s father was a Lutheran pastor in Brandenburg. Her brother, well- known painter Wilhelm Hensel, was married to Fanny Mendelssohn, sister of Felix. After the death of her father in 1809, Luise moved to Berlin with her mother. Here she captured the attention of several remarkable men. Romantic poet Clemens Brentano acknowledged her influence on his poetry and apparently shared with composer Ludwig Berger an unrequited love for Luise. Another poet, Wilhelm Müller, was also attracted to her. Today, Müller is remembered for his Waldhornisten poems, which Franz Schubert set to music in his song cycles Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise.

  • THE LONDON CONNECTION from 1540 Onwards Over 50000
    CHAPTER FOUR THE LONDON CONNECTION From 1540 onwards over 50,000 Protestants, Lutherans and Calvin­ ists, had sought asylum in England, mainly in London and the south­ east. In 1550 these refugees received a charter from King Edward VI granting them permission to use a former Augustinian church for conducting religious services in their mother tongue and in accord­ ance with their own preferred liturgies. Not until 1669 did Lutherans receive a royal charter, however, granting them the right to build their own church. Four years lateritwas consecrated in Trinity Lane. It later became known as the Harnburg Lutheran Church. St Mary's Lutheran Church (1694) was the second German congregation in London; their building was initially a former Jesuit chapel in the Savoy Palace. The tenth pastor in charge of St. Mary's was Karl Friedrich Adolph Steinkopf 1 Steinkopf played the key role in net­ working evangelica1s across Europe, by supporting groups keen on receiving back from London the evangelical truths that had been banishcd in the sixteenth century. In this respect, at least, he was the most active of the German clergymen based in the English capital. He was also at the heart of evangelistic and charitable work being clone there, his home always a watering-place for German evangelicals who crossed the so-called English Channel in order to attend annual gatherings of tract, missionary and Bible socicties. At the same time, Steinkopf and the Prussian ambassador in London provided letters of introduction to British travellers who sought out their brethren and sisters on the continent.

  • Service of Holy Communion
    The Second Sunday after the Epiphany SUNDAY, 17 JANUARY 2021 11:00 AM SAINT PAUL LUTHERAN AND CATHOLIC COMMUNITY OF FAITH DENVER, COLORADO STPAULDENVER.ORG Welcome to Saint Paul Church, an open, affirming, and diverse community of faith representing two Christian traditions, that of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and that of the Ecumenical Catholic Communion. Each tradition maintains and honors its own heritage, and each worships according to its own liturgical practices. As one community of faith, the members of the respective traditions work together in social outreach and shared hospitality. Together we rejoice in the manner in which diversity has enriched, nurtured, and challenged the life and ministry we share in Christ, and we regret actions and attitudes throughout the Church that may have inhibited or prevented access to Word and Sacrament because of age, race, socio-economic or marital status, physical or mental capacities, gender identity, or sexual orientation. We are a Reconciling in Christ community.

Her success in radically lowering the death rate of wounded Crimean soldiers led to society’s acceptance of her proposals of better sanitation and nutrition, accurate medical knowledge, and professionally trained nurses. Because of Nightingale’s habit of attending to the soldiers at night by lamplight, in art she is often shown as “the Lady with the Lamp.” CLARA MAASS 1876 born in East Orange, New Jersey (June 28) 1898 became head nurse at a German hospital in Newark, New Jersey 1898–1900 served as a nurse for the U.S. Army in the United States, Cuba, and the Philippines 1901 died of yellow fever in Cuba (August 14) A Lutheran, Clara Maass served as a nurse in urban and army hospitals.
