S T. John's Lutheran C Hurch August 2016 Eagle Newsletter Matthew 19: 4-6 ESV 4[Jesus said], “Have you not read that he who cre- ated them from the beginning made them male and female, 5and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” St. John’sSt. John’sLutheran Lutheran Church Church and School 4939 W. Montrose Ave., Chicago, IL 60641 773-736-1112 2 How Does My Child Receive “Early” First Communion? By Pastor Heinz The Lutheran Church has always had an emphasized catechesis: a lifelong learning of God’s Word. Children are to be formed in the faith by God’s Word at home by their parents and family, as their lives revolve around the “heartbeat of the Church,” the Lord’s Supper. “Early Communion” is not early at all, according to the ancient practice of the Church, which the first Lutherans continued. They understood being “worthy and well prepared” is not about our own work or trust, but it is the work of the Holy Spirit, giving faith in these words: “Given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins.” Holy Communion is, however, tied to the hearing of God’s Word in the Divine Service and at home. The learning of God’s Word on a regular basis goes hand-in-hand with receiving the Sacrament. Process: 1) Ask Pastor & Office to be on the list for the next scheduled sessions. 2) Learn by heart and be able to recite the primary texts of the Six Chief Parts to parents: The Ten Commandments The Apostles’ Creed The Lord’s Prayer Matthew 28:19 (Baptism) Mark 16:16 (Baptism) John 20:22-23 (Confession) The Words of Institution/Words of Our Lord (Sacrament of the Altar) 3) Recite the same primary texts of the Six Chief Parts to Pastor. 4) Attend brief sessions on each of these Six Chief Parts with Pastor. Be able to discuss these in an age appropriate manner. This next term, sessions are from 3:30-4:00pm, Wednesdays, 9/14, 9/21, 9/28, 10/5, 10/19, 10/26. If you are in Bell Choir, alternate times will be arranged. 5) Be faithful in regular attendance of the majority of Divine Services at St. John’s. 6) Participate in Individual Confession & Absolution in an age appropriate manner. 7) For those who are ready, the next Divine Service with First Holy Communion will be Reformation Sunday, 10/30. 3 Ladies Book Club: As this article goes to print, The Ladies Book Club has not had its July 2016 meeting. However, this promises to be an interesting meeting with the planned discussion of two very different books. We will be sharing our thoughts and reactions to the books I Am Malala - The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai, and See Me by Nicholas Sparks. The first is a compelling true account of a historic tragedy, and the second is a fictional account of a love story which also involves a tragedy. Reactions may be very diverse. For the month of August, we will be reading In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick. In the win- ter of 1820, the New England whaling ship, the Essex was assaulted by a whale of enormous size. This whale seemed to have a vengeance against the ship and its occupants. This real-life disaster was the inspiration for Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick. This book and the re- cent movie based on it tell about the aftermath of the Essex’s encounter and what the remaining crewmen did in order to survive. Here is a list of the Ladies Book Club selections for the remainder of our current schedule: September 2016: The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson October 2016: The Witches - Salem 1692 by Stacy Schiff November 2016: A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman December 2016: The Light Between the Oceans by M.L. Stedman January 2017: The Drummond Girls- A Story of Fierce Friendship Beyond Time and Chance by Mardi Link You will find a synopsis of the current book in the Eagle for that month and in the weekly bulletins prior to each meeting. If you would like a complete synopsis of each book or more information on the Book Club, please contact Karen Buhler. Each month, The Ladies Book Club has an interesting discussion of the book of the month followed by delicious refreshments. We welcome visitors whether you want to attend only when a particular book interests you or if you want to become a regular participant. We meet at 7PM on the last Tuesday of each month. Choir Rehearsals: Choir rehearsals begin at St. John’s for the 2016-2017 academic year on October 6th. We are looking to compliment our Chancel Bells Choir with 2 additional ringers this year. Reading music is a plus, but you can learn to play if you don't read music. We also can use more voices in our vocal choir. If you are able to join us for only part of the year, talk to Mark Eggert and something can be worked out. Comfort Dogs Visit to St. John’s: Although the Comfort Dogs always seem to have a full schedule comforting families and loved ones after tragedies strike, they also find time to visit with organizations such as our Plus 60 Group and their 5th grade visitors in April. In their own furry way, the dogs shared the gospel with those present that day. Lutheran Church Charities has numerous ministries in addition to the Comfort Dogs. Visit their website, LutheranChurchCharities.org to learn of the many ways they “Share the Mercy, Compas- sion, Presence and Proclamation of Jesus Christ to those who are suffering and in need”. Join a Bible Study, receive a daily devotion, or make a donation to assure the Comfort Dog ministry continues. Interested in joining St. John’s Plus 60? Although the group title may lead you to believe you must be of a certain age, certainly no one would be turned away. They meet the last Thursday of each month in the Fellowship Room beginning at 10:30AM. Contact Dolores Sauser at (773) 283-6937 or email her at [email protected] if you are interested. 4 5 Memorials, Gifts of Love, and Thank Offerings given July 5th, 2015 through July 19th, 2016 MEMORIALS Home Purposes Fund in memory of … Dolores Heldt, by Lednard Heldt, John & Toni Dian Sophia Eurick, by Arnold Eurick Gregory Pfister, by Laura Weith, Dorcas Society, The Pfister Family Wayne Lohman, by Laurene Lohman Beatrice Williams, by Bonnie Mayrens Sophia Salm, by Jim & Judy Weimer Harold Salm, by Jim & Judy Weimer Mary Weimer, by Jim & Judy Weimer Wesley Bodinet, by Linda Thorson, Leonard & Marie Tornabene, Plus 60 Club, Karen & Bill Whitehead Philip R.

  • 1 No Fear…In Jesus! 2 Timothy 1:1-7 Turn to the Back of the Book to Get
    1 No Fear…In Jesus! 2 Timothy 1:1-7 Turn to the back of the book to get the feel and the context for 2 Timothy. Paul concludes his letter by writing these words: “For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. Be diligent to come to me quickly; for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica—Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry. And Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come—and the books, especially the parchments. Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works. You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words. At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them. But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

  • “In Season Or Out” 2 Timothy 4:1-5 Rev
    “In Season or Out” 2 Timothy 4:1-5 Rev. Clinton G. Roberts--First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest--January 31, 2021 If you had only one remaining opportunity to offer counsel and encouragement to someone dear to you, someone you’ve tried to guide and mentor over the years—what would you choose to say? Our text from 2 Timothy presents us with just such a moment, between Paul and his protégé Timotheus, whose name means, “God-honoring.” In this epistle, which may contain the very last written words from the apostle, we find Paul in Rome, where he has been under house arrest for probably a couple of years. He was in Rome because, as a Roman citizen, he was entitled to be tried before Caesar, which he had asked Festus, the magistrate in Caesarea, to allow. While awaiting trial, many of his friends and companions were able to visit him, including Demas and Crescens and Linus and Claudia and others from the Christian house churches in Rome. But now things had gotten worse. At his first defense before the Imperial magistrate, Paul had to go it alone. He was spared from being put to a horrible death in the Coliseum by lions, perhaps because he was in fact a citizen, a privileged status within the Roman Empire in the 1st Century. But now we find Paul in chains, probably within the sprawling encampment of the Praetorian Guard, just outside the City. Only Luke the Physician remains at his side. The season is probably late summer, and the time? Sometime after the Great Fire in AD 64 and the death of Nero in AD 68.

  • The Rock That Makes the Ripple 2 Timothy 1:5
    The Rock That Makes the Ripple 2 Timothy 1:5 May 9, 2021 Steve DeWitt Next Sunday is our last message in our series in Romans. We are going to wrap it all up and put a bow on it. As is clear, today is Mother’s Day. I want to talk about mothers, and really parents and grandparents, and a biblical concept I’m calling “Ripple.” Ripple as in waves that ripple out. The study of waves is a big category of science: Sound waves, light waves, water, air. Perhaps you’ve heard of the butterfly effect. It is a theory about the long-term effect of something small that can become something big—like the motion of butterfly wings in one part of the world sets in motion air waves that become something much greater, like a tornado or a hurricane in another part of the world. That’s debatable but conceptually and spiritually, it is a powerful truth. That’s my point today—the impact of a godly mother is a spiritual ripple whose effect is generational. It spreads and influences far beyond the immediate sphere of that mother and the tenure of her life. That’s my point and my encouragement to mothers and fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers: don’t underestimate the impact of your faith and your life’s example in your family tree. Indeed, these ripples ripple into eternity. I’m going to get there by one powerful example of ripple found in Romans. A couple weeks ago, we read a verse that mentions a guy who is our focus today.

  • Hannah, Eunice & Lois: the Value of a Godly Heritage
    1 HANNAH, EUNICE & LOIS: THE VALUE OF A GODLY HERITAGE 1 SAMUEL 1, 2:18-21; 2 TIMOTHY 1:5 Passing along a godly heritage to our kids or grandkids means, among other things, taking advantage of teachable moments. Like the time two-year-old, Kylee, was visiting her grandparents. She was sitting at the kitchen table eating her lunch. Her grandmother joined her, closed her eyes, and bowed her head to say a silent prayer for her food. Little Kylee watched inquisitively. As her grandmother raised her head and opened her eyes, Kylee asked, “Nana, did you have a nice nap?” A teachable moment, yes? Passing along a godly heritage involves taking advantage of thousands of moments just like that one to send a consistent message to those who follow us generationally. There is a God. He matters so very much. He loves us. And we can have a relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus. Let’s think today about the value of a godly heritage. Having one ourselves. Passing one on to our kids and grandkids. We’re considering the Bible’s one hit wonders! It’s full of so many different people. Some are major characters: Abraham, Moses, David, Peter, Paul, and above all, Jesus. But most of them are minor, obscure characters. Despite their obscurity, they have something to teach us about God, about life, and about what it means to follow Jesus. Today, I want to focus on three women: Hannah, Eunice, and Lois. They remind us of the great value of a godly heritage passed down from parents to children.

  • A Study of the Titus 2 Mandate and How It Has Been Exemplified in The
    A STUDY OF THE TITUS 2 MANDATE 3 Abstract This thesis seeks to provide an in depth study of the Titus 2 Mandate and explain how the Mandate should be applied to our lives today. An overview of the book of Titus is given, as well as a study on Titus 2. How Titus 2 was modeled through the lives of women in the Bible, as well as how it was exemplified through women in Church history is also explained. It is important for Christian young women to understand their Biblical roles; this thesis seeks to provide clarity and a greater knowledge of what those roles are and how they should be implemented. A STUDY OF THE TITUS 2 MANDATE 4 A Study of the Titus 2 Mandate and How It Has Been Exemplified in the Lives of Women For Christian women living in the twenty-first century, amidst many feminist views, one may wonder, what is their Biblical role and what does the Lord desire of them personally? While the Bible contains many commands that Christ gives his disciples, this study will focus on the Titus 2 mandate. The purpose of this thesis is to study the Titus 2:3-5 passage and research Biblical examples of women who have exemplified the principles found in this passage. The thesis will conclude with how women today can apply this mandate to their own lives. When we become doers of the Word and not hearers only, (James 1:22) we will see transformation in our own life and the lives of others.
