Notes of Faith

As followers of Christ, we learn to love and live to serve.

ALL SAINTS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6

Time after Pentecost

All Saints' Day celebration has a long history in the worship life of the Christian Church. It began as a commemoration of the martyrs who had died for the faith, and it has since become a day when we honor and remember those who, in death, have joined the Church Triumphant, as well as the faithful saints of the present who serve Jesus Christ. Martin Luther held that all Christians are simultaneously sinner and saint--a sinner because of our rebellious nature, but a saint because of salvation in Jesus.

On Sunday, November 6 we will, together with the whole people of God in Christ Jesus, lift up the names of those who have passed away this last year. If you would like someone you know to be mentioned, please contact the church office by Thursday, November 3.

Every October we get together with cousins and friends in Denver, CO. It’s a good central meeting place and has the bonus of some of the cousins living there so we don’t even need to arrange lodging. This gathering of family and friends also coincides with the Great American Beer Festival. My husband Jeremy, also a pastor, is a judge and enjoys learning from the best thus he volunteers every year. As he tells me about it he says, “It started back in 2008 when I was invited along by a friend to a tasting session. It

was fun, and I learned a whole lot about beer, namely the overwhelming volume of what I did not know.” The three years later he received another invitation, this time, not merely to attend the festival, but to volunteer in the competition room. My husband says, “It was even more fun. And I learned even more about beer: the process, ingredient selection, how to smell and taste for nuances and complexity. After that, I was hooked. I wanted to learn more and know more.” Some people ask the question the appropriateness of a pastor volunteering for a beer festival. It is a valid question. But I have found it really interesting; his reasoning and his passion for being a part of this festival year after year. More than 7,000 beers were judged at the Great American Beer Festival in 2016. Many steps were taken to ensure that each beer is judged fairly. Each beer is assigned a random 5-digit number. The beers are poured in a separate room from the judging rooms so that the judges are not able to identify the beer according to its bottle and packaging. Judges are seated at round tables of 7-8, where they are assigned a specific category of beer that they will judge for each round. (The competition has over 250 judges and 6 rounds per day.) Judges receive no more than 10 beers in 1-ounce pours. Almost 300 medals are awarded at the conclusion of the competition. Jeremy’s favorite aspect to the competition is that each of the 7,000 beers is very particularly and specifically evaluated, qualitatively and quantitatively. Sensory descriptions are elaborated in detail as judges deliberate which of the beers deserve to be moved forward to the next round. Beers are given a numerical score. But what we both find so interesting to all of this is it bears little to no resemblance to church ministry. There is a beauty in the tangible sense of achievement, the very distinct methods that are strictly followed in order to ensure the integrity of the competition. Sanitation is paramount; assigned numbers on beer bottles must match the assigned numbers on the scoresheets; even the individual cups into which the beers are poured are carefully examined.

Notes of Faith

FROM THE PASTOR

We are identified not by

flowcharts, mission statements, or

growth charts, but by our baptism alone in Christ.

We do not follow this protocols in the church simply because we cannot. We are identified not by flowcharts, mission statements, or growth charts, but by our baptism alone in Christ. Numbers, analyzation, or records do not indicate “good” or “successful” ministry for relationships, depth of worship, and the desire to be in relationship with God cannot be assigned a numerical score. We cannot assign a score or evaluation for praying for those who are hurting. We cannot assign a score or evaluation for those who bring food or conversation or silent vigil to a family who is in the midst of grief. We cannot assign a score or evaluation to what we are learning together in Bible study or Confirmation or Sunday School or through our serving. We are identified by our baptism and by Christ’s love for us and that is what then drives us to live and love and serve and grow. But there is one thing that has resemblance to church ministry and Jeremy’s experience with the festival: it all started with an invitation. An invitation that inspired one to get more involved, to learn more, and to experience more. We at Faith Lutheran are in possession of something very special and unique: the Gospel of Christ. And this Gospel is meant to be shared. I have been struck by Faith’s willingness and openness to continue to invite people to worship and to be a part of our faith community, to serve them, and care for them. I pray you continue to do so, knowing that it all starts with an invitation. Pastor Shannyn pastor@faithseattle.org

Notes of Faith

For the beauty of each hour, Of the day and of the night, Hill and vale, and tree and flower, Sun and moon, and stars of light. For each perfect gift of Thine, To our race so freely given, Graces human and divine, Flowers of earth and buds of Heaven. Folliott Sandford Pierpoint I am fortunate that I can take a part of my commute to church via Lake Washington Blvd. Today, the sun was shining, the water was so blue, the air so crisp, and the streets were lined with trees that are changing colors and the gutters are full of a grand array of leaves. There is something stunning in every inch to fill our eyes with amazement at the grand glory that surrounds us! Now, I have never been drawn to the colors of fall. I do not like gold, brown, beige, fall green. Somehow I lived through the time of avocado and almond and harvest gold for appliances, but I was not at all pleased with those colors. I love the colors of spring, bright green, purple and lavender, pinks and light yellows, and light and bright blues. Those are the colors that bring me energy. But even in the midst of the palette that would never have been my choosing, I see wonderful and stunning things. These are perfect gifts from God!! The second of the verses listed above is the final verse in Pierpoint’s hymn. It has been altered in our hymnals, and I am not certain why. The “race” is the human race, one single inseparable body of creatures. The gifts of God come to each of us, no matter what age, ethnicity, gender, social class. We are all one! Everyone can experience the beauty of God’s earthly kingdom and the beauty of God’s heavenly abode. I quite like hymns that speak of the contrasts, the opposites: day and night, hill and vale, earth and heaven, strife and peace. I think it helps me see the magnitude of our earthly experience and I hope for a heaven that is full of all things! There is already more beauty here than I can possibly behold. What could be next? I especially like the “Graces human and divine” phrase in this verse. It made me think of our dear Christina Soong and her last breath here on earth. I am sure you have heard or will hear of Nick’s accounting of her last moment, and that her spirit seemed to leave her body at the final note of a song sung to her by a friend. She slipped from human suffering into the divine light in a breath. We are so close to heaven, even here, in this place which can sometimes beat us up. Heaven is just a breath away! May God keep Christina’s memory close to our hearts and may we all experience that grace which is so divine! Your sister in Christ! Nan Beth Walton, Director of Music music@faithseattle.org

I feel like I say this every month, but I cannot believe that it is already November! Advent is coming! Christmas pageant practice begins this month! There’s Thanksgiving dinner to prepare, presents to shop for, fall leaves to rake, and plenty of football games to take in. As you go on your way this month, take time to notice the gifts of God in your everyday routine. Give thanks to the Lord, who calls us to service and love of our neighbors, near and far. With the busyness of this month, there are plenty of opportunities for children, youth, and families of Faith to gather together and celebrate. High School students will meet to cook breakfast on Sunday, November 13th at 9:15 AM. Confirmation students meet weekly at 9:15, and will be wrapping up our Manna & Mercy book this month. We will start Christmas pageant practice with the Elementary classes on November 20th, and will meet in the Sanctuary that day. Please mark your calendar for Sunday, December 4th. We will host the wonderful Taproot Theatre Touring

Company for a hilarious performance of “Improv in a Pear Tree”. This interactive play will be fun for all

ages! The performance will be at 12:30 PM, and a lunch at church will be at 11:30. All are welcome to

attend, a freewill offering will be collected. Please invite your friends and neighbors to this awesome event!

It is written by Meghan Johnston Aelabouni. November’s title is “Paul and the power of failure”. If you have not subscribed to the magazine, a few copies of Gather are in the church office. (If you borrow them, please return these magazines in a timely manner so others may also use them.) REGISTRATION for the “All Anew” Tenth Triennial Gathering opened September 6. (Early bird fees are available through January 6, 2017.) This fantastic gathering of Women of the ELCA will take place in Minneapolis, Minnesota July 13-16, 2017. You can learn more about the gathering by visiting welcatg.org. Please contact Julie Pierce or Estelle Morley for additional registration information and there is a Triennial Booklet in the narthex to look through. The Fall Ingathering of items for LUTHERAN WORLD RELIEF took place on Sunday, October 23rd. The women of Faith’s two Circles, assembled kits and the quilters showed their wares. The School Kits, the Personal Care Kits, and the Quilts were displayed, blessed, and packed, ready for loading and shipping on November 4 & 5 at Our Redeemer’s Lutheran Church. Andrine Baker is faithfully serving as our LWR Coordinator. Thank you to one and all. (Statistics will be revealed soon.) On Sunday, November 20th, Faith Lutheran Church Women will be gathering in the annual Thankoffering from the congregation, the total of which all is sent to Chicago for ELCA and Women of the ELCA ministries and support. Envelopes will be available and we invite the entire congregation help out with this offering. What is a Thankoffering? “It is a tradition that goes back at least to the 1800s, when Christian women formed “mite” or “cent” societies to support the mission of the church. When others said there was not enough money to carry out the church’s work, the women believed otherwise and acted together. In these societies, each woman collected offerings at home. On occasion, they would gather…to worship and make their offerings with thanks and praise. When Women of the ELCA was formed 30 years ago, we committed to continue this tradition of giving in gratitude for blessings. Each year in thousands of congregations, Thankofferings are given to support the life-changing ministries of Women of the ELCA. Together, we do more than we could ever do apart. In gratitude for all God has given to us, and with hope for all that is to come, we now offer our Thankofferings.”

In Christ’s Service, Estelle Morley, President Faith Lutheran Church Women

Notes of Faith

FAITH LUTHERAN CHURCH WOMEN

The Faith Council met on October 11, 2016. Pastor Shannyn reported that she feels she has had a productive first 7 weeks. She has spent time providing special care to several members in need, as well as reaching out to many other members to get to know them better. She also reported that she has been shifting some of the worship and liturgy, in collaboration with Nan Beth and the Worship, Music, & Arts committee. Pastor Shannyn has also introduced herself to the Wedgwood Preschool Board at their recent meeting. In his Finance update, Wally reported that donations are currently 3% ahead of budget, but we still need a year end bump to stay on track for the year. He discussed the line items in the draft 2017 budget that the Finance committee has been developing. The budget discussions will be held on November 20th and 27th. John Hall gave a brief update on the plan to replace the carpet in the sanctuary, though he has not had enough free time to make appreciable progress in the past month. He will get samples and put them "under the Christmas trees” for people to look at prior to decision making.

Gwen gave an update from the Parish Ed committee meeting: the group has been discussing how to increase intergenerational participation, and has also decided to add Spark illustrated children’s bibles to each of the pews. The committee is also considering ways to further involve children in the worship service. Karren reported that the Wedgwood Pre-school Co-op sent a letter requesting that a dog run be built in the backyard of the parsonage house, as a barrier around the students’ play yard. Thanks to Theo Roe and others for recently installing a temporary dog run.

Inclement weather: In case of weather that makes conditions unsafe around church (such as icy streets, power failures, power lines down, etc) a determination will be made by 8:00 a.m. by Pastor Shannyn and Parish Ed. Chair, Gwen Schaeffer, and then phone calls will go out to teachers to alert families that Sunday School is cancelled. (Adult Forum often meets despite the weather.) We were busy in Sunday School in October! The Pet Blessing was so much fun, including welcoming one of Pastor Shannyn’s own dogs. Thanks to everyone who was able to bring in or share about their pet. Our Bible stories have been from Genesis and Exodus. So far this year we’ve talked about Creation, Jacob, Joseph, and Moses and the Ten Commandments. David, Solomon and Elijah are coming up next. Nov. 13 will be Safety Sunday with an emphasis on Fire Safety this year. More information about our practice fire drill closer to the date. In November we will also begin practicing for our Christmas Pageant which is Dec. 11. The Advent Fair will be the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend (Nov. 27…No Sunday School that day.)

Our Sunday School theme this year is “Listen, God is Calling” and we encourage all our kids to bring a friend any time they can. Our holiday celebrations are especially good events to invite someone to come along. If you know a child who has never been in a Christmas pageant, invite them to participate this year. All our practices are during the Sunday School hour, and we have costumes for many!! -Barb Sharkey, Elementary Coordinator

WOULD YOU SAVE A LIFE?

Although it's easy for some of us to donate blood, it's not so easy if you never have, if you "felt mushy" after another donation, or it just creeps you out! Of course, many of us cannot or should not donate, too. Whether you're an old hand or not even sure you will pass the medical screening, we would be happy to see you at Faith's Blood Drive on Monday 11/7. It only takes an hour and most donors sail through it!

To prepare, drink extra water on Sunday and Monday to prepare your body for donation and recovery. All donors must weigh more than 110 pounds and bring photo ID. If you're 16 or 17 years old, contact me or the office for a parent permission form, or bring your parent along to sign and donate, too! If you'd rather call ahead to ask about medical exclusions: 1-800-DONATE-1.

Monday, November 7 1:00-3:00 and 4:00-7:00

Faith's Library To schedule: email/call church office or see schedule sheet in narthex. Walk-ins can almost always be accommodated but scheduling is best.

AILANGA SCHOOL PROJECT/TRIP

Greetings, Faith members! The Ailanga School Project is a partnership between four congregations in Seattle, starting in the early 2000s. Delegates have been traveling to Tanzania every few years since 2004. This trip not only impacts the people of Tanzania, but also has a life changing effect on the delegates from Seattle. The Faith delegates for the 2017 trip are hoping to keep this tradition and partnership alive, as we prepare to travel to Ailanga next summer. We are looking forward to exploring another country, learning about the culture and students of Ailanga, and sharing about our own traditions and culture. We have already begun meeting monthly to bond as a group, plan events, and even learn some Swahili language. Our group of 15 has planned many special events and fundraising opportunities for this year. Mark your calendars for the traditional Ailanga dinner, which will be held on March 4th. We have invited the headmaster of the Ailanga Junior Seminary and the outgoing bishop of the Meru Diocese to join us in the weeks leading up to the dinner and for the event. We cannot wait to welcome them to Seattle and to our church. We will also be hosting a Parents’ Night Out, selling Brown Bear car wash tickets, beautiful Ailanga calendars, and other fundraisers to help support scholarships for our trip participants. Please be on the lookout in our Notes of Faith and weekly email for more details about these events, or talk to a delegate. Thank you for your support as we begin this journey! Your Faith delegates, Kyra and Janice Piper, Elena Galati, Jada and Marcella Petersen, Andrew Maupin, Glory Busic, and Callie Moothart.

THE SPIRIT'S GIFT OF IMAGINATION By the Rev. Kirby Unti, NWWA Synod Bishop

Kim has been taking care of kids in our home for over three decades. Every day she plans some form of art project, science experiment, or puzzle that requires solving. It is a joy to see these children light up and dive into the challenge of the day.

Kim is a wonder at being able to set them free to enter into the experience while at the same time offering them the necessary encouragement or just the right question if they start to feel defeated. Teaching children to trust their imagination and to follow their own wonder enriches their sense of life and value.

I have always believed that one of the gifts that comes from being created in the image of the creator is to be blessed with imagination. It takes imagination to navigate life. It takes wonder to venture off in new directions.

There are a zillion examples of how imagination is at work. One fine example that I marvel at is the new Evergreen Point Bridge. I have been equally amazed at how it has been staged and built as I have been by the demolition of the old bridge. How in the world can someone figure out how to do either of these tasks? Kim's father was the chief engineer for Boeing on the Apollo project. I loved to hear him tell stories of how they put a man on the moon without knowing how to do it. They literally were figuring it out as they went. I love when I see the handiwork of another and can stand back and say. "Now isn't that clever" or "Why didn't I think of that."

Kim loves to use her imagination in preparing a meal and presenting it for consumption. She puts a lot of thought and care into how the table is set, how the food is arranged on the table, right down to what place settings and serving pitchers to use.

There is something that happens when we become a recipient of another person's imagination and care. It adds a measure of life to our person.

While serving the office of bishop, I have become keenly aware of how important the roles of imagination and care are with respect to the vitality of our churches and leaders. Churches, regardless of size, experience vitality when they invite imagination from their members and put a level of care into all that they do. This contrasts sharply with doing what we have always done and not varying from it. Leaders who lose their sense of imagination often lose a sense of hope.

I am convinced that imagination is the work of the Holy Spirit - breathing new life into all that we do. The author of Ephesians says it well:

Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more

than all we can ask or imagine. (Ephesians 3:20)

My prayer for you - and the whole church - is for the Holy Spirit to stir deeply our imaginations that we might invest great care into the challenges and opportunities we face. -- BKU
