Using Our Gifts Together and Sharing God’s Grace
Greetings Saints of God,
Thank you! Thank you for being the people you are, and Thank you for having the desire to push yourselves to be the people that God desires us to be. In the Spirit of the Reformation, this both/and is crucial to our understanding of our life in faith. Fully redeemed and in the same breath, fully in need of redemption. So, thank you for being people of faith and people who belong to Christ.
Thank you! Powerful words that move us from a spirit of getting to a spirit of gratitude. Those two words, “Thank you,” help us claim the most important aspect of our faith: Christ alone has done this for us, and our response is to be one of gratitude. Thank you, Jesus.
As I think of this act of giving thanks, the story of the ten lepers cleansed comes to mind, from the gospel of Luke. Jesus heals ten lepers. This is an amazing story, and every single one of them is healed. The text says that one leper turns back to say, “Thank you,” and for that leper, it made all the difference in the world.
As the leper says, “Thanks,” Jesus response is, “Your faith had made you well.”
Notice that? He doesn’t say, “Your faith has healed you.” Jesus has already done that. But in the act of noticing, of lifting up this act of healing, in this act of gratitude, something shifts for the leper, and Jesus says, “You have been made well.”
In this season of Thanksgiving, take time to notice the places in your life that you have to be thankful. It will look different for different people, but we all have places where we can lift up the gift of gratitude.
One way we give thanks is at our Thanksgiving Eve service, which Zion will host this year at 7:00 p.m. Prince of Life, St. Paul’s and Oregon City Methodist will join us in lifting up our thanks to God. Oh, and we end with pie. Always good to end with pie.
So, in that spirit, I say to you, “Thank you!” I am grateful for you, Zion Lutheran.
Living in the Amazing Grace of God,
Pastor John

On the Corner of 8th & Jefferson
It was on a dry crisp Wednesday morning that a young women, her two small children and mother came to receive supplies from the Love, INC. non-food pantry. All four looked cold. I asked if they needed gloves and hats and with a thankful smile the mother said yes. I gave them all hats and gloves. . . even found a couple of pairs for the little ones. I also gave some socks to the little girl. She was so excited, “for me?” she said. This is all thanks to you at Zion for supplying gloves, hats and socks for me to give to those in need who stop by my office. I am sure the need will be great this winter - therefore if you are wanting to help the following items are needed: Kid’s gloves, men’s gloves, women’s socks, kids socks. Thanks, LaVonne Priester

With your gifts you are making possible the support of unmet needs, the coordinating of volunteers in the United States through our local facilities, and the promoting of disaster risk- reduction internationally, expanding knowledge and ability. Thank you for this gift and all your generous gifts. Thanks you for living into God’s words of justice and mercy and for joining with the whole church to love and serve one an- other.

Thank you guys so much for the scholarship. I have quickly discovered how costly the real world is and this scholarship will be very helpful in acquiring a higher education. Having to pay for college myself is proving to be very challenging and this has a huge impact on making things easier.

The lowlow----downdown on getting high
Does the Bible say anything about drug use?
The term “Drugs” is used to cover a wide range of substances including antibiotics, aspirin, alcohol, caf- feine, tobacco as well as illegal drugs such as cocaine, speed & marijuana. Drugs like paracetamol (which you take when you have a headache), when used correctly can be useful and beneficial to humans. However, problems with “drugs” arise when they are misused.
While there are a number of references to alcohol in the Bible, there is nothing explicit about many of the other substances.
However there are some principles to keep in mind:
1) Christians are to submit to the laws and authorities of their society The Bible recognises the authority of governments as given by God, for the purpose of the good ordering of society ( Romans 13:1-5). As such, Christians should seek to submit to the rules and regulations set by governments. Thus, if a government determines certain guidelines for the use of specific drugs, (for example, that marijuana is illegal), then Christians should respect the authority and decision of the government and obey that law.
2) Followers of Jesus need to consider the effects of their actions on others For example, consider a Christian deciding whether to have a glass of wine with their dinner. One glass probably won’t get them drunk, and if they are over 18, then they are legally allowed to have it. But they also need to consider if having the glass of wine would be unhelpful for others – if they were having a recovering alcoholic over for dinner, then having the glass of wine could be unhelpful for the guest – and so the Christian should abstain for the good of the other person. The thinking should not be simply what I can do, but what is the loving thing to do for others.
3) We are to live Godly lives One of the many problems with drugs is how they affect our self control & behaviour. The Bible encour- ages us to live "peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness". This kind of life, the Bible says " is good, and pleases God our Saviour" (1 Timothy 2:1-3). Paul talks about a similar issue when he says "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit." (Ephesians 5:18)
4) Taking drugs can lead to all sorts of other problems It doesn't take long to look around society and see the problems that drug taking causes. Drug taking can lead to anger and violence, the need to sustain the habit can lead to burglary and other crimes, and the toll on the body can lead to organ failure, mental illness, and death.
So, there are some priniciples that help us to work out how to live in the specifics of our day to day living. We need to be wise as we make decisions and this wisdom comes from God (James 1:1-27). So let me en- courage you to read the Bible, soak up these biblical principles of living and then ask God to help you wisely decide how to live.
