“A Welcoming Community Centered in Christ’s Love,
Joyfully Reaching Out Together”
December 2015 published monthly Vol. 26 No. 12
Dear Friends in Christ,
Advent, the season of four weeks preceding Christmas, is a
time of spiritual preparation. Advent means “arrival” or
“coming.” We prepare hearts and minds and our whole
lives to receive the living God who comes to us in Jesus
Christ. These four Sundays leading up to Christmas invite us
to make our hearts ready in welcome for all of the
surprising and mysterious ways Christ comes to meet us.
I love our new blue Advent paraments, and especially
appreciate how they communicate the themes of this
season. The paraments set is called “Journey to Advent,”
and was crafted by Carolyn Wagner, a fabric artist from
Olympia, Washington.
The focal point of the design is the bright star, pointing
to the presence of Christ, whose advent we await. Through
the season of Advent, we are given to contemplate three
different “advents” of our Lord—as we prepare to greet
Christ’s birth as a baby at Bethlehem, we also look forward
to his return as risen and triumphant Lord. At the same
time, we watch for Christ in the present time, expecting
that he will meet us in the needs of neighbors in distress
and speak to us through the scriptures as the living Word
of God. The star reminds us that we find strength in Christ’s
promise to be with us to the end.
Leading to the star is a winding path, which reminds us
that this season is also about preparation and patience.
Even though we don’t know when Christ will return, we
wait purposefully. We seek to live mindfully, not sleeping
through our lives, instead living out Jesus’ teachings on
forgiveness, compassion and service. The path reminds us
to pay attention to our lives so that we can recognize when
Christ comes.
Finally, the rich blue background speaks to us about
hope. The color for the season of Advent is a beautiful,
deep blue, suggesting the color of the early morning sky as
night turns toward dawn. The color blue reminds us that
the dawn of God’s triumph over sin and death is very near
to us, so God’s peace fills our hearts with joy.
Presence, promise, preparation, patience, paying
attention and hope—these are the themes that Advent
whispers into our hearts. I pray you will experience a holy
and grace-filled Advent season!

NEWS OF YOUR GIVING, PLEDGING, & YEAR-END
GIFTS We want to sincerely thank all the members who have been active in the stewardship emphasis this fall, telling their stories in worship, helping with mailings, and giving of time, talent, and treasure. You have helped us pay good attention to our financial commitments as Christ’s followers. Thank you for completing your pledged offerings for the year 2015, as you are able to do so. Your faithful and often sacrificial giving makes possible many blessings through this congregation and our wider church. Thank you for considering a 2015 year-end gift to strengthen our financial position. The 2015 budget approved by the congregation included plans to spend $16,000 from reserve funds. Many generous gifts have boosted income and reduced the anticipated year-end deficit significantly. Thanks be to God! Year-end gifts can be made in a variety of ways, including a stock gift or IRA charitable rollover. To learn more, please contact Bonny Groshong (503-226-3659). Finally, thank you for pledging your financial support for our shared ministry next year, 2016. A large number of pledge cards were received on November 8 and 15, along with online commitments to monthly giving. Thus far, we have received 52 pledges totaling $157,504. If you have not yet completed and returned your pledge card, please do so before the end of the year, so that our Council will have the information needed to prepare a budget for 2016.
Yours in Christ’s service, FILC Stewardship Committee
The Santa Lucia Song Many of you know that First Immanuel was founded by Swedes—the oldest Swedish Lutheran congregation on the West Coast. The writing on the stained glass windows is in Swedish. We celebrate Julotta, the Swedish Christmas service, at 7 a.m. on Christmas Day, which when I started as organist in 1981, was all in Swedish. Another Swedish tradition
we continue to keep is the Santa Lucia commemoration. Originally an Italian observance, it somehow made its way to the Northern lands. As part of this tradition, we sing the Santa Lucia song. The original text was, of course, in Italian, which tells of Santa Lucia blessing the fishing boats on the sea. The Scandinavian tradition tells of Santa Lucia appearing in midwinter, bestowing light and warmth. So, the version we sing tells how, out of the gloomy darkness of long winter nights, Lucia comes with light, heralding the lengthening of days:
The night goes with weighty step round yard and hearth, round Earth, the sun departs, leaves the woods brooding.
There in our dark house then appears with lighted candles Santa Lucia.
Join us on Sunday, Dec. 13, to be part of this wonderful Swedish tradition!

“MEETING JESUS AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME”
Adult Forum, Sundays, 9:45-10:45 in
Sodergren Lounge
Feel free to join anytime—
Concludes this month
Wondering who Jesus really was?
Wondering who Jesus is for you? The
writings of Marcus Borg can help. He was
emeritus professor of religion at Oregon
State University until his death this past January. Borg
combines biblical scholarship with a genuine spiritual
perspective that makes his writing appealing to questioning
believers, doubters, and reluctant unbelievers alike.
Join us to discuss Borg’s best-known book, Meeting
Jesus Again for the First Time, which has become a
modern classic. Drawing on his own journey from a naive,
unquestioning belief in Christ through collegiate skepticism
to a mature and contemporary Christian faith, Borg
illustrates how an understanding of the historical Jesus can
actually lead to a more authentic Christian life—one not
rooted in creeds or dogma, but in a life of spiritual
challenge, compassion, and community.
We’re exploring the many levels of Jesus’ character:
spirit person, teacher of alternative wisdom, social
prophet, and movement founder. And we’re examining
major stories of the Old Testament that help us understand
Jesus’ teaching.
We provide books and supplement with select videos.
Coffee is on, and our Sunday School provides excellent
children’s care. Hope to see you there!
—Pastor Melinda and Leslie Wong
“Believing in Jesus does not mean believing doctrines
about him. Rather, it means to give one’s heart,
one's self at its deepest level, to…the living Lord.”
—Marcus Borg
INVITE A FRIEND TO CHRISTMAS WORSHIP

and you don’t even have to gift-wrap!
Right now, 7.6 million people are displaced within Syria and over 3.9 million have taken refuge in neighboring countries. We'd like to join with Lutheran World Relief in especially welcoming and supporting the new parents among those who have had to flee their homes and all that they know, by providing Baby Care Kits.
A Baby Care Kit is like a promise. It says to that baby, “Your needs will not be neglected by us.” When we send Baby Care Kits, which contain the most basic of items, we follow Jesus’
teaching to care for the least among us as a way to care for Him.
Each Kit contains 4 cloth diapers, 2 diaper pins, 2 pair of socks, 2 cotton tee shirts, 2 receiving blankets (30” x 30” to 50” x 50”), 1 hooded sweater or jacket, 1 towel, and 2 bars of soap. Would you like to contribute any of those things? We have a box downstairs in Fellowship Hall where you can put your gifts, or just bring them to our Baby Shower at Coffee Hour on Sunday, Dec. 6 If you just aren’t a shopper, let us know what you’d like to give and we’ll do the shopping for you! For more information, talk to Misty Ibsen (503-523-8214, [email protected]), Rita Gocken (503-667-8408, [email protected]), or Leslie Wong (503-224-0743, [email protected]).

Selection: A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley
A successful Iowa farmer decides to divide his farm between his three daughters. When the youngest objects, she is cut out of his will. This sets off a chain of events that brings dark truths to light and explodes long-suppressed emotions. An ambitious reimagining of Shakespeare’s King Lear cast upon a typical American community in the late twentieth century, this novel takes on themes of truth, justice, love, and pride, and reveals the beautiful yet treacherous topography of humanity. Winner of the 1992 Pulitzer Prize.
Read ahead for March 13, at the home of Rise Johnson: The Book of Unknown Americans by Cristina Henriquez. Arturo Rivera owns a construction company in Pátzcuaro, México. One day his beautiful teenage daughter, Maribel, is helping at work and sustains an injury that may change her forever. The Riveras come to America with one dream: that in this country of great opportunity and resources, Maribel can get better. When Mayor Toro, whose family is from Panamà, sees Maribel in a Dollar Tree store, it is love at first sight. It’s also the beginning of a friendship between the Rivera and Toro families, whose web of guilt and love and responsibility is at this novel’s core. Suspenseful, funny and warm, rich in spirit and humanity, this novel offers a resonant new definition of what it means to be American. It is Portland’s Everybody Reads 2016 selection—copies available at libraries in January. Henríquez will speak on Tuesday, March 8, at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall: https://multcolib.org/everybody-reads.

IN MEMORIAM
Margery Louise Ross
9 September 1924—18 November 2015
Family and friends gathered on
Wednesday, November 18, to
remember Marg Ross and give
thanks for her life. Marg loved
singing, and sang in the church
choir, both as a youth and as an
adult. She enjoyed being involved in church activities
and traveling. She worked as a banker for Wells Fargo
Bank and was remembered as an accomplished
businesswoman. She was also remembered for her
grace and her elegant sense of style.
Rest eternal grant her, O Lord,
and let light perpetual shine upon her.
Many thanks to “moving
men” Craig Langley,
Hunter Nelson and Eric
Wierson for their help in
clearing out the back
office in Sodergren Hall!
With their help, we’ve
freed up plenty of room
for new archival storage.
—Leslie Wong, Archives Task Force
“STEADY AS YOU GO” Project
Your Elder Ministry Team
is brainstorming ways to
best welcome those who
may be unsteady on their
feet during Sunday worship. Here are some ideas:
• Two parking spaces are reserved in our lot for
those with special transportation needs marked
“Reserved Sunday for Volunteer Driver.” Please feel
free to park here if you are transporting a special
passenger. And if you’re able to walk further, please
consider street parking to free this small lot for our
elders.
• For greater safety dropping off passengers,
consider pulling all the way into the lot and turning
around to face toward 19th Avenue before delivering a
passenger to the sidewalk. This makes for a shorter
and smoother walk to the church door.
• We need a few more ushers so we can station a
helper outside the entrance each Sunday, to assist
passengers navigating to the front door. To volunteer,
please contact head usher Craig Langley
• We’re seeking training tips for ushers and others
who offer assistanceso stay tuned for updates on
“Steady As You Go”!
