You are very, very, welcome there!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Former Bishop Stephen Bouman sometimes would say to pastors

in the fall, “Are you ready to crank it up again?” With all the ac-

tivities that get going in September, it’s always a bit hectic

making sure everything is on track. Additional worship services,

Sunday School Rally Day, confirmation classes, Jr. and Sr. Youth

groups, an adult study program, committee planning, as well as

special events like the Golf Outing and Oktoberfest are all part of cranking it up for the

fall schedule.

When I chose the end of October retirement date last fall, I wanted to have a chance to

“crank it up again” so that everything would be moving along as smoothly as possible

before my departure. I thought it would be best for the congregation to be operating on

all cylinders going into the period of transition.

So far that seems to be working well with the Council and committees taking on some

additional tasks to make sure that the bases are covered and all the worship, education,

fellowship, outreach, social ministry and youth activities are carried on without inter-

ruption.

As the days inch closer to that concluding date, I’m finding that there’s so much to ac-

complish that there’s not much time to think about life after October. I’ll still be clean-

ing out some files and packing the many books in my office. Elizabeth and I have al-

ready been recruited for an extended grandchild sitting stint in mid-November. It will

be difficult for me to realize that my official tenure as pastor will be at an end, but I

know that the congregation will carry on as it always has for the past 98 years. I look

back with deep emotion on our ministry together. I also will look forward to hearing

about your continued commitment to the mission of Jesus Christ and hope to see you

all for a special occasion now and again.

Faithfully,

New Home Phone: (631) 650-5140

HOLDING YOUR FAMILY TOGETHER

5 Simple Steps to Help Bring Your Family Closer

to God and Each Other

This is the title of a new book written by the Lu-

theran pastor who writes our confirmation curric-

ulum. On the five Wednesdays of October (2nd-

30th) from 7-8:15 P.M. we’ll be discussing this

powerful book.

Parents wouldn’t think of sending their children

to bed without dinner or without brushing their

teeth or other nightly rituals to keep their children

healthy. Yet often they may overlook taking some specific time to share

their day together as a family, speaking about the Word of God and praying

together. This book outlines ways to instill spiritual practices in our chil-

dren by intentionally making it a priority to take 5-10 minutes to experience

caring, comfort and blessing every night.

Please register by calling the office or speaking to Pastor so that we can or-

der the proper number of books.

THE SYMPATHIES OF THE CONGREGATION

are extended to the families of:

Raymond Grottini — Relative of Judy Muller

DEACON’S CORNER

OCT. 2013

It hardly seems possible that the year’s notice that Pastor gave us when he an-

nounced his retirement has already passed. I know from the many conversa-

tions I have had with different congregational members, that we are all feeling

many mixed emotions. We are happy for Pastor and Elizabeth that they will

have time to do whatever they want to do, but at the same time, we have a feel-

ing of loss and actual grief. Added to this is a heightened sense of anxiety. I

believe that these feelings are perfectly normal. I also believe that nobody will

understand these feelings except your fellow congregational members, which is

why we need to stay together as a family in Christ.

Pastor has faithfully served this congregation for 30 years and we will honor

him by remaining a congregation focused on its mission to proclaim the Gospel

in word, sacrament and service. In order for that to happen, each and every one

of us will need to step up and pay attention. Pay attention to who is sitting next

to you during Worship and if they are not there the following Sunday, give them a call! We need to be

shepherds for each other! Step up and volunteer to help in some way, there are countless opportunities for

service. Offer to take charge of an event or committee, strong leadership and someone to follow through on

the details is always needed.

When Pastor retires, the ministry that happens here at Christ Lutheran church will not end. As Pastor ex-

plained last Sunday, we will have an interim pastor until a new pastor is called. A Steering Committee has

already been formed composed of leaders in key positions who will meet regularly to address problems

during the transition period. The Church Council will still oversee the business of the congregation, com-

mittees will still meet, all our Sunday Servers (ushers, greeters, acolytes, Eucharistic ministers, assisting

ministers etc.) will continue to serve. Sunday School and Confirmation classes will still be held. Eventual-

ly, a Call Committee will be formed and we will have a new pastor.

In Reclaiming the “C” Word, author Kelly Fryer describes a congregation by saying “A church on God’s

mission isn’t a building or a building plus a pastor. It’s people – people who carry out God’s mission to the

world.” We need to remember that we have to carry on participating in God’s mission to the world.

It goes without saying that we all will miss Pastor and Elizabeth. For many of us Pastor Munz has been the

only pastor we have had in this congregation. Pastor has developed many relationships over the last 30

years with members of this congregation. It is going to be difficult for both him and us to adjust to the

change.

I ask all of you to keep Pastor and Elizabeth in your prayers. From the ELCA book of occasional services:

Eternal God, we give you thanks for your servant William Munz, and for his ministry in your

church. Give him the grace to remain faithful in your service

now and evermore; and grant that those deeds begun in your name may, by the power of your Holy

Spirit, grow and flourish; through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Amen.

In Christ,

Janet O’Mara

WORSHIP AND MUSIC

SURVEY RESULTS

The Worship and Music Committee has met several times to go over the results of the

survey that was conducted last year. The overall impression is that the congregation is

satisfied with the worship experience here at Christ Lutheran.

There were some areas such as alternate worship times and the introduction of new

hymns, which will require more specific questions for follow-up.

The survey has also given us some things to consider during the transition period when

we are in the process of calling a new pastor. It will provide us with valuable infor-

mation when we are completing our Congregational Profile. I would like to thank all of

you who took the time to complete this lengthy survey and ask everyone to participate

when we are conducting some follow-up “mini-surveys”.
