    And in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord, who was conceived by

    the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary . . . The Second Article ofThe Apostles Creed

    Dear Children of God,

    By celebrating Christmas, Christians are confessing! We may not

    think of it like this, but its true! We are confessing this second arti-cle of the Apostles Creed. Specifically the twelve words in Englishthat speak of Jesus incarnation, and of His two natures.

    It was necessary for the first Christians to clearly confess Jesus hu-manity as well as His divinity. From the very inception of the Chris-tian faith there were those opponents who doubted the doctrine of theconception by the Holy Spirit and questioned the truth that God hadtruly taken on human flesh. This is why both the Apostles and theNicene Creed make the incarnation of Jesus such a central part of theChristian Confession.

    By saying that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, Christiansconfess that Jesus is truly God. Not like God or similarto God orrelatedto God or godly in His moral and ethical behavior, but inHis very essence the One true God! This message is clearly re-vealed in the Scriptures. For example, Jesus is called Immanuelwhich means God with us. In John 14 Philip asks to see the Father.Jesus responds Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father. Afterthe resurrection Thomas confesses that Jesus is my Lord and myGod. And in Acts 2 Peter makes it clear that this Jesus who wascrucified is both Lord and God. It was necessary for Jesus to be

    God, for as we learn in the catechism only God can fully and finallyatone for the sins of the world.

    Continued from page 3

    By saying that Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, Christians con-fess that Jesus is truly man. The thought that God would become aman was truly scandalous, not only among the Jews, but amongthe Greeks as well. But again, the witness given in the Scripturesis clear. For example in John 1:18 we are told that No one hasseen God at any time, but the only begotten God who is in the

    bosom of the Father has made Him known. And in Hebrews4:15, For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympa-thize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in every

    way that we are yet is without sin.

    It was necessary for Jesus to be true man, as we learn in the cate-

    chism, for only a man can stand in the place of other man and suf-fer the punishment that is due all men.

    This is what we confess not only at Christmas time, but in factthroughout the year. Isnt that a WONDERFUL thought? That byconfessing the incarnation of Christ in the Creeds, we are in factcelebrating Christmas throughout the year!

    This Christmas we will again experience the joy, the wonder, themarvel and the miracle that The Word became flesh and dweltamong us. We will confess this amazing heavenly truth in the

    hymns we sing, the Word that is proclaimed and heard, and thesacrament that is received. But how will we confess and proclaimthis to others? Our gracious God has given us the privilege of car-rying this Good News to a world that is badly in need. As theWord became flesh and came among us, may we also, through theworking of the Holy Spirit, carry this Word as we come in contactwith others, be they family, friends, neighbors or strangers.

    A blessed Christmas,

    Pastor

    Dear Servants of God,

    If you recall, last month I wrote you a note about diaconal ministryexplaining the image of telling the story. My letters for the nextfew months will be along the same lines: What is diaconal(servant) ministry? And what is a Deaconess anyway? In a Theol-ogy of Diaconal Ministry course, we learned a few images to de-scribe servant ministry. These include: Washing Feet, Tendingthe Door, Waiting Tables, Bearing the Light, and Telling theStory. Each month, I hope youll allow me the opportunity to re-flect on one of these images and how they apply to the sorts ofministry entrusted to Deaconesses and the whole people of God.

    .

    Bearing the LightBearing the LightBearing the LightBearing the Light

    L: Jesus Christ is the light of the world.C: The light no darkness can over come.

    These are the first words within Evening Prayer, within the serviceof light (LSB 243). As the days grow shorter and shorter and thenights colder and colder, these words from the Gospel of Johnbring the hearers and those who proclaim them comfort.

    When I was a little girl, my family took a trip to Mammoth Cave.It was damp, deep, but the paths were well lit and no bats botheredus. When we got to one of the deepest parts of the cave, my sister

    and I sat next to one another on a bench and the lights were turned

    out. I couldnt even see my hand in front of my face let alone thecomforting form of my big sister who always looked out for me. Iwasnt usually afraid of the dark, but this dark was different and Ishivered. Then a tiny match was lit. Just one match and I couldsee everything. The darkness was illuminated

    For deaconesses, bearing the light (the Light) means bringing Je-sus into the deepest, darkest places and sometimes in was as unas-suming as a match. A deaconess sister of mine is doing AIDSeducation in Papua New Guinea as part of her missionary work.She works directly with people of all ages listening, teaching, and

    loving them though their struggles. She works on her knees.

    Sometimes, bearing the light means standing on tiptoes, reachingup and advocating, being a prophetic voice. A deaconess sister ofmine works on Capitol Hill. There she brings the light of Christ tothe people of our nation and other nations by working for justice.Though shes small and only one, because Christ dwells withinher, she can shine bright.

    In this season of Advent, we are reminded of the most odd andmost beautiful birth of light. Jesus Christ, the Word of God, born

    in a humble stable that this true God and true Man might be pre-sent with his people in every way. As Christians, little christs,we are called to bear the light. Fed by the Word of God in Wor-ship, we are empowered to follow the Light out of the sanctuaryand into the World. This is a season of preparation and thus agood time to think about and pray about those places God is pre-paring us to Bear the Light.

    May the light of the Christ make your darkness bright,

    DeaconessClaire Rueffer

    Dear Youth and Parents

    Christmas is fast approaching and as I write this the sun is shining and

    it feels more like spring than fall. The Advent season has begun and we are

    preparing for Christmas Day. It is a busy month with parties, concerts, final

    exams, projects, baking, shopping and many other seasonal activities. We

    need to make time to prepare for the birth of Jesus and not let all theactivity take the importance of His birth out of December. Take time this

    month to read Matthew 1:1 2:1, Luke 1:1 2:40, John 1:1-18 although

    these are the familiar texts for the season you will find the message and

    joy of Jesus Birth in them.

    This month the youth have Christmas Parties and Caroling planned

    for the early part of the month. The Childrens Christmas Service is

    December 17th

    and the youth are helping with pre-service activities and

    during the service. We continue to have Sunday morning Bible Class and

    FED night Bible Study. Please plan to be a part of the activities when you

    can and remember that your friends are always welcome to join us! Check

    the bulletin board for sign-ups and more information on upcoming events.

    I would like to know when you have upcoming events such as

    plays, concerts, recitals, games or other important events or if you have

    any prayer request or other needs, I would be very glad to be able to help

    in whatever way I can. Each day I am thankful to be a part of the youth

    group and keep all of you in my prayers. Please email me at

    [email protected] or call 568-3701 or 391-4946.

    May you and your family have a blessed Advent and Christmas andjoin in singing Oh come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!

    KNOW YOUR LEADERSHIP

    I was born a child of God in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania to Harry and SueKrueckeberg on March 26, 1963. In my 45 years, I have lived in Penn-sylvania, Delaware, Indiana, Colorado, Germany, and Colorado again. Iwas baptized and raised in the Lutheran Church. My GrandfatherKrueckeberg baptized me on April 15, 1963. I was confirmed on May22, 1977. My formidable years were spent in Terre Haute, IN from age5 to 15. I moved here to Fort Collins in the summer of 1978 with myparents. Our family joined PWC that fall.

    One of the first people I met in Colorado was Tracy Foster, here at thechurch. We have been friends ever since. I also met my wife Sarah hereat the church. We began dating in March of 1980 and were married hereon March 12, 1983 just days before I left for Germany, as I was in theUS Army at the time. Sarah soon followed me to Germany in May. Welived outside of Wiesbaden and near Idar Oberstein. We have alwaysreferred to this as our extended honeymoon. We have two children,Molly and Kyle. Both have been baptized, attended preschool, and havebeen confirmed here at PWC.

    Many of you know that I have, or have had, many family members inthis church of course my dad Harry, my late mom Sue, Paul and KayRubel are my in-laws, Chuck and Jana Black are my bother-in-law andsister-in-law, along with their children Nick and Becca. Sarahs brotherPete, Marie Rubel is my Grandmother-in-law, and the late Laura Wittalso a Grandmother-in-law. This is what makes PWC so special to me.

    I have served in several capacities within the church Vice President,President, and a previous stint as Spiritual Growth Elder, and trustee. Iam currently the Staff Elder.

    I thank God for my talents, and encourage everyone to use the talentsthey have been given by our gracious God to serve the church in what-ever capacity you can.

    In Christ I remain His servant and yours,

    Nine Methods of Giving: Outright Monetary GiftBequest in Will or Trust

    Investment Gift

    Life Insurance Beneficiary

    Life Insurance Contract

    Charitable Gift Annuity

    IRAs and Qualified Plans

    Charitable Remainder Trust

    Zero Estate Tax PlanGiving through a zero estate tax plan combines givinggifts to charity with gifts of life insurance. Using thisplan, a donor typically transfers an asset to a charitableremainder trust (CRT), which provides an income to thedonor. The donor than acquires a life insurance contracton his or her life with a death benefit equal to the valueof the asset given to the CRT. The life insurance policyis placed in a separate irrevocable life insurance trust.The donor than uses the income from the CRT to make

    gifts to the insurance trust as needed so that the trusteeof the insurance trust can pay the annual insurance pre-miums. This arrangement allows the donor to benefitthe charity while maintaining the amount of assets thatwill pass to his or her family.

    Christian Stewardship

    Whether we realize it or not Christmas is a time

    when we are very active as stewards of Gods gifts.

    We celebrate the gift that God has given us in Christ

    Jesus. Jesus was presented to the world by the Fa-

    ther in order that He might give us the gifts of for-

    giveness and eternal life. These gifts are delivered to

    us by the Holy Spirit. For most of us this first oc-

    curred as children when we are baptized. We spend

    our lives enjoying these precious gifts that God hasgiven. And following His example we Christians

    share His gifts with others. Yes, we purchase pre-

    sents for the people that we love. But that is not the

    primary way that we give gifts. We return a thank-

    offering to Himlike the Wise men did. We cook for

    our families and clothe them and provide for their

    daily needs. We share His love and Word of encour-

    agement with others. We pray with and for others.

    We visit the sick and perhaps sing with them. Thereare many, many ways that we practice Christian

    stewardship at Christmas, be it with our time, our

    talents or our treasures. May the Holy Spirit con-

    tinue to lead and guide as we do so.
