THE MONTH OF JANUARY SENIOR PASTOR’S ARTICLE
Pastor Francis L. Schroeder Holy Cross Lutheran—Nederland
I have a friend who lives on a nice ranch in Central Texas. In the past few weeks I asked him what his plans would be for 2015. His response was simple, “MENDING FENCES & BUILDING BRIDGES.” Those are the most perfect words as we begin a new year. MENDING FENCES is needed as we start the repair work with those we may have disagreed or became sideways. The Christ-child came to bring us together as He sought to make God and man reconciled. This month is a good time to meet your neighbor at the fence line and begin that joint process of mending fences. The new year also gives us the opportunities for the BUILDING OF BRIDGES with our community and with people we do not know. These two phrases must be the theme for our lives in 2015. The time is right through the grace and for-giveness of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. The time is right to start off the new year with a blank slate and a new heart. May the LORD bless you greatly in this year. May we live as His children in love and faithfulness to our family, our friends, and with one another.
Blessings! Pastor Francis L. Schroed

Holy Cross Lutheran Church is
"“Growing In Christ" and we have a place for everyone in your family.
The material we will be using for
Sunday morning children's classes is called "“Growing in Christ."
Growing in Christ is a traditional
classroom Sunday School for all ages. This same-age classroom model helps students
learn and grow in faith alongside their peers as they explore the Bible, draw connections
to the Small Catechism, and learn the traditions of the Lutheran Church.
Questions? Contact DCE Kristy Witek

traveling from one building to another. K-4th Children will stay in the FLC from the time they
arrive until 5:55pm and will walk together with teacher to classroom. Thank you!
Can We Invite Friends to Church/Youth Events?
This question is asked just about every time we have a special event for youth or adults
and I often wonder why? Luke 14:23 says, "Then the master told his servant, Go out to the
roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.”
So, can we invite friends, family, neighbors to functions, events, worship, Bible studies and youth or adult events at Holy Cross?
The answer is —YES!
In fact I believe, we should always, always, always be inviting someone to join
us for everything we participate in at Holy Cross: Worship Services, Bible Study, Confirmation, Youth Events, Adult Fellowship Events, potluck dinners.
If our doors are open, then we should…
ALWAYS INVITE A FRIEND!

CIRCUIT 34 MISSION COUNCIL NEWS
We continue to move toward our goal of establishing a new Hispanic congregation in Port Arthur. Pastor Casillas comes to our area for ESL classes each Wednesday. He is present at the Thrift Store on Saturday to make contact with those who come there to shop. Sunday morning worship is held each week at Trinity at 9:00 AM. The tentative name of the new congregation is La Trinidad. They are in the process of identifying members who could serve as officers of the congregation, so the group could apply to the Texas District for a charter. In addition to the Pastor, they would need a president, a secretary and a treasurer. We are in need of a bi-lingual teacher! Rosie Cabrera, a member at Trinity, teaches an ESL Bible study each Tuesday from 9 AM to 10 AM. She teaches simple Bible stories using Sunday School lessons and some Arch Books. Rosie is moving away in December, so we need someone who could work with this group. If you can help, please contact Pastor Tim Dinger at 409-983-1130 or [email protected]. Food Pantry: The Circuit 34 Mission Council board met on Sunday, November 9. The board decided to suspend operation of the Food Pantry until March 28. Our bank balance had reached the point that if we continued the Food Pantry, we would not be able to support Pastor Casillas properly. If our financial condition improves, we will resume the Food Pantry in the spring. We thank the Texas District Lutheran Women's Missionary League for their gift to the Hispanic Mission. They have allotted $7700 for our mission. The November issue of The Lutheran Witness has an excellent article about our work to establish this new congregation. As always, remember The Thrift Store at Trinity. It is open Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM. They always need help at the store. Please consider giving a few hours of your time to serve in this way. The Thrift Store sells any kind of items: clothing, household furnishings, dishes, tools, etc. Be sure all your unwanted items go to the Thrift Store. Proceeds from the store fund the ESL program at Trinity. Please pray for the success of our mission outreach and consider how you and your congre-gation can help with this kingdom work.

L I F E L I G H T B I B L E S T U D Y
1, 2, 3 John
January 7, 2015 The spring LifeLight nine-week study materials need to be ordered by mid-December, so THE TIME IS NOW to decide if YOU would like to join in this venture of an in-depth study of l, 2, and 3 John. The studies are designed for adults (mid-to-older teens might also be LifeLight participants) who desire a deeper study of Scriptures than is available in the typical Sunday morning Bible class. Classes meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-7:30 p.m.
LifeLight does not assume or require an existing knowledge of the Bible or special experience or skills in Bible study. However, it does assume a level of commitment that will bring participants to each of the nine weekly assemblies having read the assigned readings and attempted to answer the study questions. No one is graded. Often questions ask for an ‘opinion’ answer. If one cannot answer all the questions— no problem. Come to class regardless!
Time does not allow for all the assigned Scriptures to be read during the class, thus it is important that partici-pants do the assigned readings beforehand. Each week has five (5) lessons. It takes 20-30 minutes to complete one day’s lesson. Doing one lesson a day makes it manageable. Waiting until the day before or of the assembly to do all five can put one in a bind.
Everyone—participants and small-group facilitators—are learning together. The small-group facilitator has the advantage of having a leader’s manual which has the answers suggested by the writers of the lessons. So, if you’d like to have access to the answers, and if you have the desire to be a small-group facilitator, please contact DCE Kristy Witek.
The Apostle John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, is the author of these three books of the Bible. How should Christians demonstrate the love of Christ to each other and to the world? Where does that love originate? Let’s examine John’s teachings as he was inspired by God as he wrote!
Signup sheets is on the clip boards.
Pray for God’s guidance while contemplating signing up for the course.
