A Note From Pastor Wood: For You
|
|
The Gospel Lesson for this morning is haunting. The note of judgment sounds over the sheep and the goats, the righteous and the unrighteous. A lot has been said and written about concerning this judgment. It may strike our Lutheran ears as odd. The Son of Man says nothing about faith or grace. When the sheep are ushered in he points to works: feeding, welcoming, clothing, and visiting. These are the works of the righteous, it can hardly be denied. Likewise with the unrighteous, they are ushered out and they go away into eternal punishment for not doing the works of the righteous. This parable is terrifying because it reminds us that Christ will care about what he finds when he returns. It reminds us that he is concerned about our works.
That's not the only thing this parable does, however. Look closely at the words of the Son of Man, "Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world..

Cookie Sale!
It's that time again!! As the weather has turned colder, why  not turn on the oven and bake some cookies for our Cookie sale at the Christmas market! We have sold out the last two years, so I know shoppers really appreciate home-baked treats. If you bake early, simply freeze; cookies should be brought to church by Friday, 12/1. Questions? Call Cheryl O'Neill, 314-352-9309.

Advent by Candlelight just around the corner!
for Advent by Candlelight are in the narthex. In case you're not familiar with this tradition, the event is for the women of Timothy (scho
ol age and into retirement!). On
Sunday, December 3rd, the first Sunday of Advent, we will meet in the gym at 6:00 p.m. for dessert and a short devotional program. In the past, we have had women host tables of eight. The hostess brings her fancy Christmas dishes and decorates with items from home and, of course, candles! She also makes a dessert and provides a small, inexpensive memento (a bookmark, ornament or the like). This year, you will still be able to host a table, but we will also have many open tables which volunteers will "dress up"; we will also provide the dishes, dessert and favor. The signup sheet will have "OPEN" instead of a hostess' name. We will sing a few Christmas carols, enjoy a yummy dessert and hear a presentation by Noks Shabalala, a graduate student from South Africa studying at Concordia Seminary. We'll share more of Nok's topic in the next couple of weeks, but we wanted to be sure that you would put December 3rd on your calendars! Hope to see you then!
Questions? Please contact Jennifer Ebeling or Mary Anne Rall.
Transferring blessings to ministry in thanksgiving expresses gratitude to God for His provision of all of life and life's resources. It witnesses faith to family and beyond.

Parent Sunday School Connection for week of November 26
Lesson for Sunday School - Bible Story - God's People Go Home - Book of Esther
This week we study Esther. In her actions, we see the pattern of deliverance that God sketches throughout the story of Israel, a pattern that finds its fulfillment in Jesus, our Savior. Consider discussing, "How did Esther preserve the Jewish people? Why is the story of Esther important?"
Memory Verse:
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

Word of Life Musical Helpers
This spring Word of Life students will perform a musical called "Echoes of the Hammer" We have thirty kids who already have scripts in their hands and are eager to portray the life of Martin Luther in acting and song on March 15th. In order to have a successful musical we will need help in the areas of costumes, set (and props) and tech (sound, projection, etc.). We would like supporters of our school at Timothy to consider helping, especially people who can work out costumes or are handy with sets. For more information contact DCE Mark or Laura Thompson ([email protected]).
