From the Desk of Pastor Jim…
“Let’s see this thing that has happened!” “When the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other,
“Let’s go to Bethlehem! Let’s see this thing that has happened, which the Lord
has told us about.” (Luke 2:15)
Advent & Christmas Celebration: That ‘thing’ that the shepherds wanted to see
was Son of God in the flesh - a baby born the save all humanity! So great was
their excitement for the coming Savior that they all it a ‘thing.’ Interesting
choice of words!
As part of our Faith Family Christmas celebration of ‘this thing’ at Christmas we
are using the season of Advent and Christmas as a time of outreach to our
friends and family. “The Cast of Christmas” is the theme we are focusing on:
the prophets who foretold of Christ, the angelic messengers who shared the
birth of Christ, the lowly shepherds who were among the first to meet the Lord
Jesus, the wise men – and us. We are the cast of Christmas!
Each Sunday and Christmas eve will focus on one of these cast members and
how they help us accept and live the truth of Christ and Christmas. We are
asking you to pray for and then ask someone to join you for the season! To
help, your Evangelism Committee has purchased devotional books that you can
hand to your invitee to help them learn the truth about Jesus. Please don’t let
this opportunity slip by! Your simple invitation may result in another person or
family become a heaven-bound follower of Jesus Christ!
The success of this outreach effort depends of each of us being willing to reach
out to family and friends who do not have a church home! This is consistent
with our mission at Faith: "We are imperfect people, saved by grace, willing to
risk it all to share the Good News of Jesus Christ!" I personally ask you to
please pray for and invite someone to join you the Sundays of Advent!
Worship Survey & Second Service: I need to apologize to you for jumping the
gun on the potential second worship service at Faith. My October newsletter
article was premature in announcing this potential service for January - I am
truly sorry about that!
I would like to share the initial raw data from the recent Worship Survey sent
out by Council. All the surveys have been received and tabulated. We still need
to do a deeper look at what it means and review the comments. Not every
person completed each question. (continued on next page)

TOTAL 143
3. How satisfied are you with the worship schedule and format that we currently follow at
Faith? (Please pick one)
80 I prefer our current schedule and format with traditional and contemporary
services.
28 I would prefer that we use traditional worship formats all the time.
2 I would prefer that we use contemporary worship formats all the time.
34 I would prefer that we have two distinct worship services, one traditional and one
contemporary.
4. What type of worship music do you enjoy?
48 Traditional hymns
9 Contemporary worship music
88 A mixture of both
5. Would you be supportive of Faith starting a second Sunday worship service in the near
future with one following a Traditional format and the other a Contemporary format?
89 Yes 50 No
6. If Faith does offer more than one worship time on Sundays, would you be willing to commit
to attending Bible Classes, held between service times, to meet and befriend folks who attend
the other worship service? (This would assist in maintaining peace and unity among our
worshippers as well as assimilate new worshippers)
86 Yes 46 No
Based on the above and our current attendance, we are not planning to add a second
worship time in the near future. The Worship Committee will evaluate the comments
and decide on how to be responsive to what they reveal. When Council has completed
the analysis of this survey, an executive report will be issued to the congregation with
recommendations from the Council and Worship Committee. A second survey seeking
clarification and additional information is also possible. We appreciate your
participation in this and for the grace each of you has demonstrated as we try to
worship the Lord in a manner that pleases Him above all and is sensitive to the
desires of His people. Remember, worship is about praising God and bringing glory to
His name. This is our primary focus. - Pastor Jim

“Silent Night” The well know Christmas Carol, "Silent Night" was written in
1818 by Franz Gruber to lyrics by Joseph Mohr in the small
town of Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria.
Joseph Mohr was a young priest at the Church of St. Nicholas
in Oberndorf. As Father Joseph was preparing for midnight
mass, he was upset because his carefully planned music was
going to be ruined because the church organ was broken. (The
church was eventually destroyed by repeated flooding and
replaced with the Silent-Night-Chapel) He soon learned that our
problems are God’s opportunities and that the Lord causes all
things to work together for good to those who love Him. It came
to his mind to write a new song, one that could be sung
organless. Before Christmas Eve, Mohr brought the words to
his organist, Gruber, and asked him to compose a melody and
guitar accompaniment for the Christmas Eve mass.
“Silent Night” was sung for the first time on December 24, 1818,
as a duet accompanied by a guitar. Not too longer later, a
gentleman came to the church to repair the organ. He heard
about the near-disaster and acquired a copy of the text and
tune. The repairman spread the new song throughout the
Alpine region of Austria. The song became very popular, sung
at various fairs and festivals. It even was sung at a royal
performance after a request from the king and queen, assuring
the carol’s fame.
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
Alles schläft; einsam wacht
Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

I am often asked what churches can do to grow. I have found myself repeatedly encouraging
congregations to engage in the kind of ministry Jesus did and reach out to the least, the lost,
and the left out in your community. I believe Jesus gives us this recipe for community ministry
in Luke 15 through the stories of the lost coin, the lost son, and the lost sheep. In Luke 15:8-
10, Jesus tells a parable of a woman who loses a single coin and turns her house upside
down to find it. When she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to celebrate.
Biblical scholars point out that the monetary value of the lost coin was miniscule. Who among
us would waste our time searching for a penny?! And who of us would throw a party when we
found one?! From our perspective, it is just a coin of low value. But Jesus shares that what we
see as insignificant is in fact of great value in God’s economy! I have no doubt that our
church is full of Jesus-loving people who earnestly desire growth. But I also have a hunch that
the kind of growth we subconsciously prefer would be people who may look like us, talk like
us, think like us, and hopefully have capacity to be significant financial contributors. After all,
wealthy people who share our beliefs can really help the church. The poor, on the other
hand, seem to have little to offer. But what if the church desired to reach first and foremost
the people who had the least to offer and the most to gain? What would happen if instead of
focusing on those who would be most beneficial to the church, the church focused on the
individuals that we could benefit the most? From a worldly point of view, the poor may not
appear to be of great value to the church. But from God’s point of view, the least among us
is worth the passionate investment of our time just like the woman in Jesus’ story who
searched tirelessly for the lost coin. The Gospels are full of examples of Jesus’ care for the
poor. If the poor were important to Jesus, then they should certainly be important to us still
today. God is calling us to reach out to the least in our community in a meaningful way. Let’s
get serious about ministering to those who have the most to gain in Christ Jesus. And let’s
get creative and not simply default to a handout. Instead, take the time to invest in getting to
know the people that live all around us. Learn their names, become their friends, listen to
their stories, pray with and for them, and ask the all-important question, “How can we be a
blessing to you and your family.” And don’t forget to rejoice and celebrate what God has
done when the lost is found!
Angel Tree to Benefit Local Nursing Home Residents The Social Concerns Committee will sponsor an Angel Tree
again this year. This one will be a little different, as we are
partnering with the Guadalupe County Sherriff’s
department in their endeavor to proved a gift for every
resident in every nursing home. The Angel Tree will be in
the narthex, and each angel will contain a different dollar
amount that we are asking be donated to the cause.
Please take an angel and attach a check (made out to
Faith) for the amount written on the angel. Then place
them in the basket underneath the tree. Donations need
to be under the tree no later than Monday, December 9th. We will presenting
one check to the Sherriff’s Department. Thank you for helping share Christmas
cheer with those in need!

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING
(as told to Ms. Stollewerk by the Preschoolers)
Once upon a time, it was hard for the Pilgrims to do all the rules of the
King and Queen in England. They couldn’t pray like they wanted to and
that’s bad. So they got on a big pirate ship called the Mayflower and
went into the water to find a new home. Storms came and made the
boat bend and got it all wet. All they had to eat was fish, white beans,
and chicken and dumplings. But they ran out, and some food got really
yucky. The Pilgrims got sick, and all the wives died. Soon they found a
new land called “Land Rock,” and they prayed to God when they got off.
They started building cabins out of wood and painted them grey, or
whatever other colors they liked. Then it started snowing, and snowing,
and snowing, and it didn’t stop! They couldn’t finish their houses or
painting them. There were giant snowballs everywhere, so they were
stuck inside all winter. Lots of them got sick with “seises” like chicken
pox, coughs, the flu, and sneezes and died from them. It was a really
bad winter. Along came Spring, and the snowballs melted. The
Pilgrims met an Indian man named Squash, and they became friends.
He taught them how to plant corn, go fishing and other things. The
Pilgrims taught Squash how to hunt bunny rabbits, deer, and buffalo so
they could make clothes. It worked out great. Everyone was so happy
they decided to have a big dinner called a feast. It lasted four minutes.
Do you want to know what they ate? Well here it is: turkey, steak,
hamburgers, corn on the cob, carrots, broccoli, salad, onions,
cupcakes, cherries, pudding, butter beans, pancakes, mushrooms, and
bacon. The kids played games like matching game, hide-n-go-seek,
checkers, I Spy, Simon Says, Duck Duck Goose, freeze tag, and bunny
hop. They said a prayer to Jesus because they were thankful for getting
across the river so fast, and for all of their food, and just because they
loved God. And that is how it all started.
The preschoolers are thankful for their Mommies and Daddies,
Grandmas, brothers and sisters, doggies, friends, goldfish, story books,
toys, and cheese. The entire staff would like to express how very
thankful we are for all of our wonderful families and the congregation
that continues to love and support us. We count you as our special
blessings! Happy Thanksgiving from the Preschool!

Dear Friends of Faith Lutheran,
I again wan to thank you for the W.F. Lange Seminary Scholarship. It was a great financial blessing in my final year of seminary. I graduated on June 1st from The Master’s Institute with my Master’s in Divinity. I am currently serving as pulpit supply in two LCMC Congregations in California. One is near my home in Upland and the other is located in the central Valley near Fresno. I am grateful for both of these opportunities to serve the Lord and to love and minister to His people. I am starting the LCMC certification process in order to be prepared for a call. I would ask that you pray for that process, as well as the congregation where I might be called. On a personal note, it is nice to have more time to spend with my family and friends. To work again on things that have deep meaning to me, such as church banners, pastoral stoles and quilts for critically ill and terminally ill children—all things that I was unable to do, as seminary was so demanding. I would like to thank you for your prayers, they were felt! It was your prayers and the prayers of others that carried me through the intensity of seminary life. May the Lord bless your ministry and your continued desire to support seminary students, Peace and Joy, Debbie Taylor
