Immanuel Lutheran Church is a Reconciling in Christ congregation. We welcome people of every age and size, color and culture, every sexual orientation and gender identity, socio-economic status and marital status, every ability and challenge. We welcome believers and questioners, and questioning believers. We’re glad God has called you here today! If you’re a guest, please feel free to introduce yourself to our pastor or assisting minister. If you would, sign the guest book in the Gathering Area or fill in a guest card from the pew, and we’ll be happy to send information on how you can get involved at Immanuel. Facilities • Our parking lot is located on the south side of the church off Sherman Avenue. You may park in the lot at any time, whether for church events or for shopping or other errands in downtown Evanston; weekdays, see the church office at the Lake St. entrance to get a parking pass. On Sundays, additional parking is available across the street at the Holiday Inn or in Lot 6 on Lake St. across from the Police and Fire Headquarters. Parking meters are free on Sunday! • The parking lot entrance is an accessible entrance. An elevator is located just inside that door. • Restrooms are downstairs near the meeting of the two hallways. Accessible restrooms are located near the elevator on both upper and lower levels. A gender-neutral restroom is located on the lower level by the elevator. • We love having children in worship! There is a nursery and changing/crying room for parents to use, if needed, located downstairs. There are also changing tables in both restrooms on this level, by the elevator. An usher will be happy to direct you. • Hearing assistance is available. Ask an usher for equipment. • Wi-Fi is available throughout most of the building. The network is “Immanuel,” password “allarewelcome”. Please use the Internet responsibly! About Our Worship Our Sunday worship is organized around the proclamation of the Word of God and the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. It has a familiar form each week, but the content changes for each service according to a calendar shared with many other Christians. Our hymnal, Evangelical Lutheran Worship, is organized so that page numbers for the liturgy are in the front part of the book, while hymn numbers are in the second part. The liturgy and hymns are printed in this bulletin, but page numbers are provided for those who wish to follow along in the hymnal. Receiving Holy Communion We invite you to share with us in the sacramental meal, because Christ himself invites you! At the direction of the usher, come forward and kneel at the altar rail, if you are able, beginning at the ends of the rail closest to the front wall, filling in toward the center. (If you cannot kneel, standing is fine!) Receive the bread in the palm of your hand. You may eat it immediately, then take the silver chalice and drink from it or, if you prefer, hold the bread and dip it in the ceramic chalice and then eat the moistened bread. Gluten-free wafers are available. Please indicate to the pastor if you need that. Return to your place via the side aisles after you have communed. If you need to have Communion brought to you, please sit on the aisle, and let either the pastor or an usher know before the service that you would like to commune at your seat. If you desire a blessing but not the sacrament, you are invited to come forward with everyone else and fold your arms over your chest to indicate this. 2 Gathering: The Holy Spirit assembles us as the People of God … Our readings during November speak of the end times. Zephaniah proclaims that the coming “Day of the Lord" will be filled with wrath and distress. Paul says it will come like a thief in the night and urges us to be awake and sober. Jesus tells the parable of the talents, calling us to use our gifts, while we still have time, for the greater and common good. In a world filled with violence and despair, we gather around signs of hope—word, water, bread and wine—eager to welcome the good news of Christ’s coming among us. P: Presiding Minister L: Leader/Assisting Minister R: Reader A: Assembly + All may make the sign of the cross. Pre-Service Music Selections from mature master works of Franck and Bach Confession and Forgiveness P Blessed be the + holy Trinity, the one who fashions us, the one who heals us, the one who reforms us again and again. A Amen. P Let us confess our sin, calling for God's transforming power. Silence for reflection and self-examination. P Source of all life, A we confess that we have not allowed your grace to set us free. We fear that we are not good enough. We hear your word of love freely given to us, yet we expect others to earn it. We turn the church inward, rather than moving it outward. Forgive us. Stir us. Reform us to be a church powered by love, willing to speak for what is right, act for what is just, and seek the healing of your whole creation. Amen. P God hears our cry and sends the Spirit to change us and to empower our lives in the world. Our sins are forgiven. God’s love is unconditional, and we are raised up as God’s people who will always be made new, in the name of + Jesus Christ. A Amen. 3 Gathering Song “Oh, Happy Day When We Shall Stand” Hymnal 441 Please turn to face the doors. You may reverence the cross as it passes you. Greeting P The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. A And also with you! 4 Kyrie Hymnal, p. 98 [cont.] 5 Canticle Hymnal, p. 99 [cont.] 6 Prayer of the Day P Let us pray. Righteous God, our merciful master, you own the earth and all its peoples, and you give us all that we have. Inspire us to serve you with justice and wisdom, and prepare us for the joy of the day of your coming, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. A Amen. Welcome and Announcements The Assembly is seated. 7 Word: God speaks to us in scripture, preaching, and song … Reading from the Hebrew Scriptures Zephaniah 1:7, 12–18 R A reading from the Prophet Zephaniah. 7Be silent before the Lord GOD! For the day of the LORD is at hand; the LORD has prepared a sacrifice, he has consecrated his guests. 12At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the people who rest complacently on their dregs, those who say in their hearts, “The LORD will not do good, nor will he do harm.” 13Their wealth shall be plundered, and their houses laid waste. Though they build houses, they shall not inhabit them; though they plant vineyards, they shall not drink wine from them. 14The great day of the LORD is near, near and hastening fast; the sound of the day of the LORD is bitter, the warrior cries aloud there. 15That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness, 16a day of trumpet blast and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the lofty battlements. 17I will bring such distress upon people that they shall walk like the blind; because they have sinned against the LORD, their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung. 18Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD’s wrath; in the fire of his passion the whole earth shall be consumed; for a full, a terrible end he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth. R Word of God, word of life. A Thanks be to God! 8 Psalm 90:1–12 “O God Our Help in Ages Past” Hymnal 632 9 Reading from the New Testament 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11 R A reading from the First Letter to the Thessalonians. 1Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers and sisters, you do not need to have anything written to you. 2For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3When they say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them, as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and there will be no escape! 4But you, beloved, are not in darkness, for that day to surprise you like a thief; 5for you are all children of light and children of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness. 6So then let us not fall asleep as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober; 7for those who sleep sleep at night, and those who are drunk get drunk at night. 8But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

    August / September 2018 Down By The Riverside Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church Columbus Blvd & Christian St, Philadelphia, PA 19147 215-389-1513 SUNDAY MORNING MINISTERS AT THE ALTAR AND THE ALTAR GUILD – Pastor Patricia I am asking for your support to make a change this September in how we prepare for Sunday morning. The change would entail developing a more formal approach. The change would help me to promote the spiritual development of those persons leading the congregation with me on Sunday morning. Having a more formal method would allow participants to get ready spiritually, emotionally and physically for their holy work. I realize this may be asking a lot. A few people have already told me, “We’ve tried that before…” or “That will never happen.” However, as your new rector, I believe making this change is best for Gloria Dei. To begin to make this change, I have set aside time for all persons interested in going forward to a meeting on Wednesday, August 15, either at 10 AM and 7 PM in Riverside Hall. If these meeting times are not good for you, we will schedule additional times in September. All men, women and youth are invited to attend, especially those who would like to begin participating in serving at the altar and/or altar guild and those currently doing so. Again, thank you for your time and consideration. I am deeply honored to serve at the altar of Gloria Dei. If it would help you to talk further about the August 15 meeting, please don’t hesitate to call me.

FORE^YORD. The two following documents from Daniel and Justus Falckner sent from America to Germany were found by the writer among the Francke papers in the Royal Library at Berlin. The documents are here reproduced in both the original and an English translation. At the present time the missive from Daniel Falckner becomes of addi- tional value and importance from the fact that in a late work published with the intention of further deification of Pastorius, the socalled founder of Germantown, the learned compiler republishes in full Pastorius' screed " Exemplmn sine Exemplo," first published by Penny- packer in his Colonial Cases, as originally written in 171 1, some years after both Daniel and Justus Falckner had left the province, and were honored pastors of congrega- tions in adjacent colonies. The whole story of the Pastorius-Falckner episode is fully set forth in the "German Pietists" (Philadelphia, 1895) with quotations from the original documents in Lambeth Palace, London, Lübeck and elsewhere. As the following letter of Daniel Falckner covers the identical period in which Pastorius denounces Daniel Falckner as a drunken sot, etc., the unbiased reader, be he student or historian may draw his own conclusions.

    November 2011 Down By The Riverside Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church Columbus Blvd & Christian St, Philadelphia, PA 19147 215-389-1513 Thoughts from the Rector Words, Words, Words Sometimes a community, or a culture, or a nation gives new meaning to an old word. Cool is a good example of what I’m talking about. Used to be, before the 1950s, cool was an adjective used to describe the temperature of something, and those of us who speak English understood that clear, concise meaning. But sometime in the mid-twentieth century we began to use Cool! as an exclamation with a meaning that has nothing to do with temperature. Words are integral to our ability to be in relationship. So I think it’s good for us to occasionally check out which words we’re using and what we mean when we use them. Some words, when they become popular, end up being misused or overused. They become stale or trite, or worse, their meaning evolves and without our being aware we begin miscommunicating with each other. Assumptions are made that we’re all talking about the same thing, but really we’re not. Let’s look at discern, for instance. This is a word that, at least in church context, is in danger of both overuse and misuse. Webster’s new World Dictionary defines discern in this way: to separate (a thing) mentally from another or others; recognize as separate or different. Synonyms are perceive, distinguish, observe, notice. Is that what you think you’re doing when you’re discerning? Do you think that others who are sharing in discernment with you think that this is what they are doing? What if some in the group think that discernment means praying or meditating while others think of this activity as an exercise in self- examination or group therapy? How about ministry? Checking in with Webster’s again, it says: “the act of ministering, or serving; that which serves as a means; agency.” In the church ministry has become widely used.

  • ORDINATION from the PERSPECTIVE of MISSION Maria Erling Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg a Classic Lutheran Understan
    ORDINATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF MISSION Maria Erling Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg A classic Lutheran understanding of ordination is oriented in direct relationship to the administration of Word and Sacrament, and stipulates that those who administer must be duly called. Many would argue over whether the Lutheran reforming movement intended a complete restructuring of the church or whether it aimed instead to retain structures as long as they served to convey people to a rightly ordered faith, but all would agree that the principle interest of the reformers was to examine and foster the ways in which people came to faith, and that this lead them to concentrate their attention on the work of the ministry in congregations. Their singular focus on the workings of faith in hearers has meant that Lutherans almost exclusively place the ordained ministry in a congregational context. Several centuries of development and ongoing reformation in Lutheran nations around the world have repeatedly focused on ways to deepen and renew Christian life in a congregation. For all the clarity that Lutherans have in seeing their ministry and their vocation as local and particular in character, however, a myopic concentration on the congregation can lead to an overly parochial vision of the work of ministry. The clear- sighted Lutheran concentration on the tasks and work of ministry needs to be put in a mission context, so that the work of Word speaking and the work of administering the means of grace is seen as bringing the congregation into a deep and purposeful engagement with the world.

    Swedish Colonial News Volume 2, Number 9 Fall 2003 Preserving the legacy of the New Sweden Colony in America Crown Princess Victoria Brings Sunshine and Hope to New Sweden Alfred J. Nicolosi From the moment the vibrant young woman in the plum-colored pants suit stepped off the train in Wilmington, Delaware, it was apparent the focus of this royal visit would be as much on the future as on the past. In town to celebrate the 365th Jubilee of the founding of the New Sweden Colony in America, Crown Princess Victoria looked fit and confident as she toured Holy Trinity (Old Swedes’) Church, which was founded in 1699. The heir to the Swedish throne planted a rhododendron in the churchyard not far from the one planted by her father, King Carl XVI Gustaf, in 1976. “And it’s still alive!” she quipped. Bright sun after days of rain contributed to the festive atmosphere. Accompanied by Ambassador Jan Eliasson, Kerstin Eliasson and Elisabeth Tarras- Wahlberg, the Crown Princess began her jour- ney at daybreak on this Saturday morning, November 8, with good humor and enthusi- asm.

The risen Christ is found in those who are hungry, thirsty, naked, strangers, sick, in prison. We know all we need to know now, unlike some in the parable, to serve the true Good Shepherd, who, in Ezekiel, promises to care for the injured, the weak, the lost, and the strayed. To join that care is our calling, our mission, our joy. Keep this document open on the screen, to aid in your worship today.
