NOVEMBER 2016 PAGE 1

PortaL ght the monthly Newsletter of West Portal Lutheran Church and School

In the coming weeks, we find one

Church Year coming to a close and

the beginning of a New Church

Year. The last weeks of the church

year in November focus on what is

often called “the End Times,” while

the season of Advent prepares us

for the Second Coming of our Lord.

More on that in the December Por-

taLight!

The End Times are often misunder-

stood to be something that is far off

in the future, which isn’t really nec-

essarily accurate or true. The End

Times is best defined as the time be-

tween the first coming of our Lord Jesus

and the time of His return. In other

words, the End Times are NOW!

The letter to the Hebrews begins

with these words:

The End Times “Long ago, at many times and in

many ways, God spoke to our fa-

thers through the prophets. But in

these last days He has spoken to us

by His Son…”

The Greek word for “last” is escha-

ton (escaton). The study of the End

Times in theology is called

“Eschatology.” So the first thing we

learn about the End Times is that

they were ushered in with the life,

death and resurrection of Jesus. In

these last days God speaks to us

through the Word Made Flesh and

God’s written and spoken Word.

When we look at the Gospels, and

especially the Revelation of St.

John, we can see that all of what

has been prophesied is unfolding

before our very eyes. In Matthew

chapter 24, we hear Jesus saying,

“You will hear of wars and rumors

of wars (check!), but see to it that

you are not alarmed. Such things

must happen, but the end is still to

come. Nation will rise against na-

tion, kingdom against kingdom

(check and check!). There will be

famines (check!) and earthquakes (check!) in vari-

ous places. All of these are the beginning of birth

pains!”

But WHEN will it happen…? Today? Next

month? A thousand years from now? That’s the

real question, isn’t it? The answer: No one knows.

No one! Many will come saying “here He is…or

there He is”. We are not to listen to these false

prophets. We have all we need to prepare for the

end of time in God’s Holy Word to us. That is

why we are urged to be prepared…to be alert and

watch! Like a thief in the night, His return will be

without warning.

But we need not fear. In fact, the Christian looks

forward to our Lord’s coming again, even pray-

ing: “Come. Lord Jesus, come quickly!”

The thought of the “Day of our Lord’s Return”

used to frighten me. Not anymore. Now I’m actu-

ally looking forward to it. The End Times are

now!

Blessings,

Pastor Todd Arnold

Dear Members of West Portal Lutheran Church

& School,

In a letter sent to the Call Task Force of the Lu-

theran Church of the Risen Savior, I have accept-

ed their call to me to serve as Pastor of their

congregation in Green Valley AZ. However, we

did agree that my start date there will be on or

around January 1, 2017. This will allow Kathy to

finish the semester as middle school science and

religion teacher, and I will be able to assist in the

transition at the church. I will be also finishing

the semester as catechism teacher for the 8th

grade classes and will be here for the Thanksgiv-

ing, Advent and Christmas services.

I am so grateful to God to have served among

the folks here at West Portal Lutheran in San

Francisco. I was humbled at receiving your call

and privileged to assist in the wonderful minis-

try here at both the church and the school. My

children went from kids to adults here, and I

will leave with many fond memories.

Please keep my family and me in your prayers

during this time of transition. I will be praying

regularly for you and the people of Risen Savior.

God's richest blessings,

Pastor Todd Arnold

Thanksgiving Daily

“Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and

extol Him with music and song.

For the LORD is the great God,

the great King above all gods.” Psalm 95:2-3

My how the days fly by! It’s already November

2016, and in few short weeks we will once again

come together as a family of faith to celebrate

the Nativity of our Lord Jesus. However, before

the excitement of December, we have several

wonderful opportunities in November for shar-

ing as a community of faith.

On Monday evening November 14th at 7:00 p.m.

in the Scottish Rite Auditorium, the Music Min-

istry of west Portal Lutheran Church and School

will present the Annual Fall Concert. Come and

join us for an evening of music presented by the

WPL Orchestra and the ringing and singing

choirs from both Sloat and Sunset Campuses.

With the coming of November our minds turn

naturally to Thanksgiving, but the Giving of

Thanks is much more than a day filled with tur-

key, football and shopping. We are so blessed by

the students and parents who attend and sup-

port the WPL School. We possess a faithful fac-

ulty and staff dedicated to education and a con-

gregation who supports the mission and minis-

try of the WPL School.

We have been blessed in so many ways by God

our Father. I invite you to join me this month,

not just in a single day of “Thanksgiving”, but to

daily offer prayers of thanksgiving and praise.

We have been placed as a family of faith in this

area of San Francisco for a reason, to proclaim

I was born and raised in San Francisco. My wife,

Irene and I have two sons, Darren and Nathan.

Irene was a teacher at West Portal Lutheran from

1983 to 2008 when she retired. I have been the

Sunset Campus computer teacher for the last 8

years after I retired from 34 years at Pacific Bell,

Southwest Bell, and AT&T where I mainly

worked in Information Technology. In my free

time, I enjoy volleyball, serving at SF Bible

Church, playing piano/violin, and teaching

computers to seniors at our church

met my lovely fiancée, Adrienne (pictured above

with Christian). During the summer I volunteer as

a counselor for Sunset Church's day camp. I enjoy

spending time with family and friends whenever

possible. Adrienne and I are going to be married

in December, and we are happy to be part of the

West Portal Lutheran School family

What is a “mission focused school?”

Those who serve and support a mission focused

God’s calling to share the love of Christ with all

nations. The budget, staffing, policies, and priori-

ties are intentionally determined in light of the

role of the church to share the Gospel of Jesus

Christ to their community. The role of the school

is that which extends the mission of the church in

reaching the New Believers through Jesus Christ.

Worship is vibrant and Christ centered

Discipleship is strong, calling members to

grow through the Word (Psalm 119:105)

Service…that connects the community to

Outreach is focused on those who do not yet

know Christ as their Savior (Acts 1:8)

ply ministry. (1Peter 4:10)

Picnic Fun! On October 2nd we had our annual Church and School Picnic. 200+ people worshipped together and then

ate and had fun together. We thank the Lord for our amazing West Portal Family.

Community Bowling Activity A few weeks ago families signed up to spend

time together bowling. We thank our Youth Di-

rector, Daniel Latimore, for coordinating this

effort. We are so blessed that Daniel is filling this

capacity again. We look forward to more family

activities for fun and fellowship.

Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive

Oct. 31—Nov. 16

The Student Council is taking the lead in our annual food drive to help those less fortunate. We will be

collecting non-perishable food items to donate to the food pantry at Christ For All Nations Lutheran

Church operated by the San Francisco Lutheran Nehemiah Project (SFLNP). The SFLNP is a group of

San Francisco and Daly City Lutheran congregations that have joined together to do urban ministry.

This food pantry serves approximately 500 people every Saturday. SFLNP has operated the food pantry

for the past twelve years.

All non-perishable foods are greatly appreciated. The following is a list of

items that are non-perishable and can be kept for long periods of time.

The Student Council has set a goal of collecting 2000 items of food. If we meet that goal, they will reward

the students with a small token of appreciation.

God has richly blessed our school and our church. May we share those blessings with others. Collection

bins will be in the narthex, Haake Hall entryway, and the Sunset school office for your food donations.

Canned meat, fish (i.e.

Spam, tuna, etc.)

Peanut Butter

Soups, stews, and

“meals in a can”

100% fruit juices

Cereal, oatmeal

Canned fruits and vege-

tables (corn is a favorite)

Beans, rice, pasta

Principal Anna Hu is asking church and school

members if they currently have or will have an

apartment or unit or in-law unit available for one

of our school teachers to rent. If so, please contact

Miss Hu at 415-665-6330 or [email protected].
