As the baptized children of God, our vision is always Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— being transformed by God’s loving promise and God’s strengthening I took the one less traveled by, presence as we live among God’s faithful people. And that has made all the difference. The Road Not Taken, Robert Frost But now, midway through February, we begin to sing a different Mountain Interval 1920 tune. Ash Wednesday on February 13 th begins the season of Lent, when we join Jesus on the road to Jerusalem. For Jesus the road to Jerusalem is the road to the cross. How does this Lenten journey –the road to the cross-- impact our lives? That will be our theme as we travel through Lent. Worship will be shaped a little differently with a focus on confession and on the Kyrie, our singing of “Lord, have mercy.” The view in worship will change with a slightly barer chancel and the purple color of the paraments. Traditionally purple has been considered the color of a more solemn attitude. However with purple being my absolutely favorite color, a color which brings me deep joy, I think of purple as pushing us to the depths and urging us to introspect about our lives. The preaching theme for the month will begin on Ash Wednesday with Robert Frost’s* The Road Not Taken , or as it is popularly known, The Road Less Traveled . [*This is the poet of which I speak, not our own Bob Frost.] Then from February 17 th , the First Sunday in Lent, through March 24th, Palm / Passion Sunday, we will consider the various signs along the road that warn us or help us as we journey with Jesus to the cross and through life. What signs do you see along the road, and how do they warn or help you as you travel? From Ash Wednesday, through the 5 Sundays in Lent, and on through Holy Week, we pray for Jesus to always walk with us. This is a holy journey we take together. I am glad to be taking it with you! Peace & Joy! Pastor Allie Our first, First @ First is Sanctuary Sound System coming up on Sunday rd March 3 at 4 pm.

  • The Immanuel Messenger July/August 2020
    The Immanuel Messenger July/August 2020 Invitation to Divine Service at Immanuel July 2020 announcement: We are pleased to announce our new schedule of two Sunday services. We continue to offer audio recording and live streaming. As we make our private decisions about how to attend church, while missing the presence of the entire congregation at this difficult time in history, Pastor Colageo asks us to remember “the familiar exhortation, that those who gather not question the faith of those who abstain, and that those who abstain not question the love of those who gather. - Let us make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:3.” Sunday – Divine Service (without Holy Communion) Each week, please assess your health readiness to attend as described below. All attendees – both Immanuel members and new guests -- Please sign up weekly by notifying Pastor Colageo at [email protected] by noon on Saturday so he can include everyone in the assigned seating chart arranged for social distancing. It is far more preferable that guests sign up than walk-in. 8 a.m. – Attendees wear masks for the whole service. 10 a.m. -- Attendees enter and move around wearing masks but remove masks when seated if they wish. This schedule allows for a “maintenance hour” to clean between services. We have hired a sanitizing contractor who will do their first sanitizing on Saturday night for the 8 a.m. service, then between services from 9 to 9:45 a.m. for the 10 a.m. service, then will be back on Monday to sanitize again for the Tuesday Communion services.

James Brauer and Kent Burreson In 2006 two new hymnals appeared among Lutherans in North America: the Lutheran 1 Service Book (LSB) for The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod F and Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW), “commended for use in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America” and “approved for use in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and…commended…as its 2 primary worship resource.” F ELW is the successor to a hymnal that was a joint project of North American church bodies cooperating in the Inter-Lutheran Commission on Worship 3 (ILCW) which produced the Lutheran Book of Worship (LBW, 1978).F F From this LBW 4 project came an “LCMS version,” Lutheran Worship (LW, 1982),F F incorporating much of the material that was jointly owned. Though the LBW did not turn out to be a single book for all Lutherans as some had hoped, the work of the ILCW did identify and prepare a shared 5 tradition of liturgies and hymns.

    The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776 BY FREDERICK LEWIS WEIS EDITOR'S NOTE NE of the most useful tools in the chest of the bibliog- O rapher, historian, and librarian is the series of little volumes by Dr. Weis on the colonial clergy. The gap in this series, the volume on the clergy of the Middle Colonies, was proving such a great hindrance to our revision of Evans' American Bibliography, that we have decided to print this volume for our own use, and to publish it in order to share it with others. The first volume of this series. The Colonial Clergy and the Colonial Churches of New England (Lancaster, 1936), is out of print. The Colonial Clergy of Maryland, Delaware, and Georgia (Lancaster, 1950), and The Colonial Clergy of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina (Boston, 1955) may be obtained of the author (at Dublin, New Hampshire) for $3 a volume. The institutional data which is provided at the end of the New England volume is for the other colonies issued in a separate volume.

    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.
