Pre-Service Announcements Chimes Welcome and Announcements Prayer Prelude “Von der Gerburt Christi” Johann Pachelbel Anthem “Festival Fanfare” Peggy A. Thompson Senior Bell Choir Call to Worship Bless God for the good land we have been given. Praise God, who crowns the year with abundance. We are thankful for the bounty we have enjoyed. God has been good to us through another year. God chooses to love us and draw us near. God invites us to enjoy the good all around us. We are grateful for food, shelter, and family. God enriches our lives with many opportunities. Let us renew our vows to God in this hour. May thanksgiving overflow in acts of kindness. We are here to remember and find renewal. We have come to listen to God’s word. Hymn #376 “We Gather Together” (see insert) Call to Confession Prayer of Confession O God, to whom all flesh can come and find acceptance, we bring our unfaithfulness, seeking to renew our awareness of you in every moment of every day. We confess our deeds of iniquity: our forgetfulness of your love, our unkindness to your children, our misuse of the bodies and minds you entrust to us. Despite your generosity, we have sowed sparingly for the sake of others. O God, we need your forgiveness. Awaken our thankfulness as we learn to fully appreciate all you have provided. Amen. Time of Personal Confession Assurance of Pardon Anthem “Days of Elijah” Peggy Betcher Senior Bell Choir Scripture Matthew 25:14-23 (NIV) 14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’ 21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ 22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’ 23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ Children’s Sermon Sermon “Well Done” Special Music Dorothy W. Heebner Pastoral Prayer and the Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Call to Offering Offertory “There is a Balm in Gilead” Gilbert M. Martin *Doxology Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye Heavenly Host; Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen. Prayer of Dedication For food and water, for all the blessings of the land you have given us, for family and friends who enrich our lives, our hearts overflow with thanksgiving to you, O God. We have been sheltered and educated and empowered by your generosity. In Jesus Christ, we have been shown a way to the wholeness you intend for us. Receive these offerings as a joyous expression of our gratitude. Amen. Hymn #374 “Now Thank We All Our God” (see insert) Benediction Postlude “Von der Himmelfahrt Christi” Johann Pachelbel *Please wait to be excused by the ushers following the service.* This week, please keep in your daily prayers: Thomas Leister, Dennis Murray, Mary Engler, Mary Jane Burianek, Bryan Schwoyer, Robin Hepler, Darlene Jones, Tom Dunn, Evelyn Bold, Olivia Herman, Arlene Savidge, and Gladys Frantz.

YOUTH DIRECTOR SEARCH COMMITTEE A healthy and active youth program is not only a necessary outreach for a church to provide to its community but vital to create and cultivate within a congregation to keep it healthy and thriving. It also serves to keep its congregation growing strong for generations and generations. With this in mind, I have hereby appointed a search committee. Working with Pastor Nick these individuals have been tasked to identify and hire our next Youth Director at Palm Schwenkfelder Church. This committee will also explore the viability of combining the position with that of the Director of the Palm Country Day School, as well as folding the operation of the Day School into the existing boards’ structure of the church. I hope that everyone will join me in thanking the members of the committee (listed below) for their service and dedication to the congregation in this endeavor. May God guide their discussions and lead them in finding the “right fit” for Palm Schwenkfelder. – Lawrence Croll, Moderator Search Committee Members Barb Master Gene Dolloff Matt Tomlin Jackie Tomlin Phillip Badman Kirsten Croll STEWARDSHIP REPORT – Giving Through OCTOBER 2020 Actual Budget Difference Offering Envelopes $181,654.61 $208,333.33 ($ 26,678.72) Faith Budget $ 2,300.00 $ 37,050.83 ($ 34,750.83) Totals $183,954.61 $245,384.16 ($ 61,429.55) * Raise the Roof: $16,931.00 RAISE THE ROOF CAPITAL CAMPAIGN The roof on the Christian Education building is in need of replacement within the next 2 to 3 years.

  • Dear Church Family, As the Advent Season Is Upon Us, Let Us Remember the Words to the Old Carol
    Dec em ber 2012 www.centralschwenkfelder.com Phone: (610) 584 -4480 Dear Church Family, As the Advent season is upon us, let us remember the words to the old carol: “Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning, Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv’n; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing! O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!” This must have been on the hymn writer’s mind, a reflection of John 1:14: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” May you and yours have a blessed Christmas, being reminded of all of the riches we have in Christ, our Lord. From All of Us, … General Conference Minutes 1782 – 1890 Around 1890 Dr. O.S. Kriebel, Howard W. Kriebel, and S. Agnes Schultz undertook the project to copy into a single volume all of the minutes of meetings that we today would call General Conferences of The Schwenkfelder Church. The hand written minutes of these meetings were kept in manuscript volumes. The Upper and Lower Districts each had a secretary who recorded the minutes when the meeting was held in his district. It appears that he then sent a copy to the secretary of the other district. It seems that after some 100 years of keeping these important church records that they may not have been in the best shape; perhaps there were no longer two complete sets—and so the project was born.

    OCTO BER 2017 www.cscfamily.org Phone: (610) 584-4480 Dear Church Family, Many of us appreciate special occasions, dates upon which we celebrate an event in history. October 31st will mark the 500th year of the Protestant Reformation. It is on this date that Martin Luther took matters into his own hands and called the church back to the Bible. Luther listed 95 areas where the Catholic Church had departed from Biblical orthodoxy. By nailing these items in written form on the church doors at Wittenberg, he began a movement that continues today. Protestants make up about 37% of Christians, about 11% of the world’s population, a number that is over 800 million.1 To be Protestant in the classic sense, is to have a high regard for the Bible as God’s written word. Sola Scriptura is the belief that the Bible alone is the authority for our faith. Luther’s testimony at the Diet of Worms in 1521 stated: Unless I am overcome with testimonies from Scripture or with evident reasons- for I believe neither the Pope nor the Councils, since they have often erred and contradicted one another; I am overcome by the Scripture texts which I have adduced, and my conscience is bound by God’s Word.2 This was in the context of the church of Rome which affirmed that religious authority came from Scripture and church tradition. What popes and councils had decided in the past, defined what the Roman Church would teach. Against the background of human authority, the Reformers taught that the Bible was divine authority.

  • The Pennsylvania Dutch in the 21St Century
    Plain, Fancy and Fancy-Plain: The Pennsylvania Dutch in the 21st Century Rian Linda Larkin Faculty Advisor: Alex Harris Center for Documentary Studies December 2017 This project was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Liberal Studies Program in the Graduate School of Duke University. Copyright by Rian Linda Larkin 2017 Abstract In 1681, William Penn traveled to Europe’s Rhineland-Palatinate and invited Anabaptist and Protestant groups to live and worship freely in Pennsylvania. Over the next century, 111,000 German- speaking men and women sailed to America, many settling in southeastern Pennsylvania.1 During this period, English-speaking residents began to use the term, “Pennsylvania Dutch” to describe the new settlers who spoke Deitsch or Deutsch (German). Today, the term Pennsylvania Dutch conjures visions of bonnets, beards, suspenders and horse- drawn buggies. However, this imagery only applies to the Old Order Anabaptist sects, which constitute less than half of Pennsylvania’s total PA Dutch population.2 3 Therefore, this project will examine and document four Pennsylvania Dutch communities in order to present a more accurate cultural portrait and contextualize the Pennsylvania Dutch populace in the 21st century, from anachronistic traditionalists to groups that have fully integrated into modern society. The project documents the following religious communities: the Old Order Amish, Horning Mennonites, Moravians and Lutherans of southeastern Pennsylvania. Each section includes a historical overview, an interview with a community member and photographs taken on-location. I conclude that church-imposed restrictions and geographical location shaped each group’s distinctive character and impacted how the groups evolved in the modern world.

    PALM SCHWENKFELDER CHURCH Associate Member: United Church of Christ 833 Gravel Pike PO Box 66 Palm PA 18070 215-679-5321 [email protected] www.palmschwenkfelderchurch.com PALM SCHWENKFELDER CHURCH KRAUSSDALE MEETING HOUSE SUNDAY, JULY 21, 2019 The story of the Kraussdale Meetinghouse begins with the life of Anna (Heydrick) Krauss. Anna Krauss, born about 1675, and her husband, Melchior Krauss, left Silesia in 1726 with their children and settled in Herrnhut, Germany. On April 19, 1733 they embarked on the long journey to Pennsylvania, but a month later, Melchior died in Haarlem in The Netherlands. Widow Anna and her five children continued on their journey to Pennsylvania, along with two other Schwenkfelder families, arriving in Philadelphia on September 28, 1733. Her eldest son, Balthasar Krauss, married Susanna Hoffman, and they lived on a farm near Kraussdale. Anna resided here with his family. Burials at the Krauss farm had taken place for many years before any buildings were erected for worship and education. Anna Krauss was buried at Kraussdale in 1755. The land was passed down to Balthasar’s son, Balthasar, Jr., and then to Balthasar, Jr.’s youngest son, George, with the following stipulation: “Except one acre of land which shall belong to the graveyard (including the same) for a meeting house, if ever Schwenkfeldians shall intend to build one there, which said graveyard and one acre of land shall be free for the use of the said Schwenkfeldians with free Ingress, Egress, and Regress to and from the same forever.” In other words, his stipulation was that the cemetery continue to be accessible to the Schwenkfelders, and the land around it be available to them for the building of a meeting house.
