ABLAZE FOR GODS MISSION! Conversations about Christ
Ken Reiner, of Ballwin, Mo., shares a recent conversation with a Hindu family on an airplaneflight.
This experience took place in September, on a flight from St. Louis, Mo., to Omaha, Neb. TheLord brought a couple from India to sit next to me. The husband and I began conversing almost
immediately. We shared our work history, etc., for some minutes, and he began asking about theuncertainty of the next life. He and his wife were Hindu. God helped me share the certainty I havein Christ--His living the perfect life and covering up my imperfect life. Hindus believe you have tolive a very good life so that you can move on to a better next life. He asked a lot of questionsabout how Jesus was God and proof for that. He has a daughter who is a Christian. I suggestedthat he might read the Gospel of John. The one hour flight was then over and we said goodbye.
We pray the Holy Spirit sparked enough interest for the two to follow through.

Fall Festival and Yard Sale UpdateSponsored by the Outreach and Mission Board
Article by Kara Canada
What a wonderful event!! We hadlots of help Friday Night and Saturday. Whata wonderful team of people we have here atNazareth Lutheran Church. God blessed uswith a sunny day and lots of great people for this event. Yard Sales are a lot of work and
we made it look easy. Thank you so much for your time and efforts.
We all arrived on Friday, Oct.22 at 6:00 p.m. to help price and sort through all ofthe items available for the sale. We also priced the bake goods contributed. We were
amazed at how much had been given. Then
on Saturday, Oct. 23, at 7:00 a.m. everyonearrived on time ready to move out the ta-bles, chairs and set-up tents. Then wemoved all of the items donated out to theyard on City Point Road and they came. Wehad people walking around the parking lot;while we were setting up, ready to buy.There was even a little bit of a traffic jam at
the corner of City Point and Grant Street.
Our Youth Group took on the task of selling food and running the games. They
were a huge help in so many areas. We need to be very proud of their extra efforts.
The children that attended were able to play games like fishing and bean bag toss.They participated in the Cake Walk. They enjoyed making bird feeders and turkeys. Theyalso decorated their faces with butterflies, flags, animals and flowers at the face painting
station.
At the end of the day we had earned a nice sum of money to place in our Emer-gency Relief Fund, which I have been informed will be matched by Thrivent Financial. Wedonated the remaining items left to The American Veter-
ans and The Shepherds Place.
Again, this day would not have been possible with-out the congregation giving their time and donations.Thank you so much.
The Lord our God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of
the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. -Deuteronomy 7:6

Come Lord JesusBy Pastor Voss
Parousia! Adventus! Advent!You have officially been introduced to the Greek, Latin, and English versions of coming! We look
forward to our annual celebration of Christs first comingChrists first Advent.
This year, Christmas is on a Saturday, so within 24 hours after our Christmas Day service, few of uswill be discussing Christs first Advent and we will begin thinking about and teaching and preaching the
Christ who has already come.
Id like to think we could absorb, that is, understand and comprehend and appreciate the First Advent
of Christ for us from now until Christmas Day, but Im afraid we cannot. The tell-tale signs are all of thethings we do during Advent and Christmas that have nothing to do with Jesus Christ. Maybe one of thereasons there are people who do not enjoy Christmastime is because there is no time to appreciate and
ponder and reflect upon why it exists in the first place.
As a church, we are trying to make it easier for all of us to appreciate the First Advent of Christ bydesigning our Advent worship and gatherings with contemplation and prayer in mind. Peace. Renewal.
Grace. These are just a few of the gifts we receive through Gods Word regarding the birth of a heaven-ly King. The Word and its benefits will be coming to you during Advent.
Advent of a son and the Son
I have spent the past month talking to my son William about his birthday. Almost every day I talkabout the plans we have: the friends, the candy, the presents. I do it because I love to see the excitementin his eyes. I love to tell him stories about when he was born and how much it meant to his mother andI. I re-enact how we felt and what we said and how special he is to us. I tell him about how God blessed
us with him. The smile on his face grows bigger with every word.
Now is about the right time for all of us to begin talking to our sons, daughters, mothers, fathers,friends, and strangers about Christs birthday. Lets talk about the plans we have: the fellowship of soup
suppers, the worship, the Christmas play, Christmas Eve service, and Christmas Day hymn-sing service,the plans we have made in our homes. If we share our excitement over what we are doing for Christsbirthday with others, we may see an excitement in their eyes as well. You will find that when you tellpeople about such plans, you are not offending them or their beliefs, but sharing a part of what makes
you happy and excited. In faith, we grow closer together as we celebrate the birth of Gods Son.
The idea that Christmas is about more than food and presents is a welcome message. Parents whowelcome a newborn into the world dont care about how many gifts they receive or how much moneythey have on that day, they simply celebrate the life given to them! Simple, pure, joy. Now, this Advent
season, give thanks for the simple, pure, and joyfully message that a child was born for us in Christ Jesus.

An English Church Music Composer:Ralph Vaughan Williams
An Article Contributed by Jan Graham
Did you know that Ralph Vaughan Williams, one of the best known English com-posers of the 20th century, also wrote music for hymns? For All the Saints is oneyou know well!
Born in 1872, his father, Reverend Arthur Vaughan Williams, was the rector of thechurch in Down Ampney. His mother was Margaret Wedgewood, the great-granddaughter of the porcelain producer Josiah Wedgewood. Reverend VaughanWilliams died when Ralph (pronounced Rafe) was three and the family relocatedto his mothers family home in Surrey. One of his aunts began teaching him music
when he was six followed in the next few years with violin and piano lessons. He continued his les-sons in piano, violin, the viola, and music theory at Londons Charterhouse School. Afterward heattended the Royal College of Music in London where he be-came good friends with Gustav Holst, and Trinity College,Cambridge where he received a Bachelors degree in musicin 1894 and B.A. in history the following year. He began his
musical career as a church organist, later focusing on teach-ing, directing choirs, and composing. In the early 1900s hetraveled through the English countryside to collect folk songsfrom singers and musicians notating them for future genera-tions. Captivated by the beauty of the music and the historyin the lives of ordinary people, he included many folk songsin his compositions. The English Hymnalof 1906 includedhis arrangements of 35 folk songs along with some of hisoriginal hymn-tunes. Also during this time he developed a deep appreciation of Tudor church musiccomposers, especially Thomas Tallis. His first masterpiece, composed in 1910, was the Fantasia ona Theme by Thomas Tallis.
When England was drawn into World War I, Vaughan Williams enlisted in the Field Ambulance Ser-vice and saw combat action as a commissioned second lieutenant in the Royal Garrison Artillery inFrance and Greece. Extended exposure to artillery fire initiated progressive hearing loss whicheventually resulted in severe deafness when he was in his seventies. As were many of the Englishsoldiers, he was deeply affected by the carnage of the war and the loss of many close friends in-cluding the composer George Butterworth.
Vaughan Williams composed nine symphonies, five operas, film music, church music, and works forchorus and orchestra. Some of the church music included Songs of Praise (1925), Oxford Book ofCarols (1928), and Songs of Praise for Little Children (1933). As the musical editor ofThe EnglishHymnalhe composed several hymns that are now known worldwide including the following found in
the Lutheran Service Book: For All the Saints, Come Down O Love Divine,At the Name of Jesus,Come, My Way, My Truth, My Life, and Hail Thee Festival Day(which we sang on Easter Day).Several other hymn-tunes such as Down Ampney, Kings Lynn, Kingsfold, Weston, Forest Green,and others are English folk tunes that Vaughan Williams arranged to be sung with the words of aparticular hymn. Hymn tune names are found in the back ofLBW.
Although he was quite a celebrated composer during his lifetime, he shunned awards with the oneexception of the Order of Merit, conferred upon him in 1938. After his death in August of 1958 hisashes were interred at Westminster Abbey near where Henry Purcell is buried.
Sing with joy alleluia!

PASTORS CORNERCHURCH GROWTH USING GODS METHOD IS KINGDOM GROWTH
I have seen what happens when a church puts church growth as their num-
ber one goal. They grow! They will give things away to those who come. They
will remove the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lords Supper from worship.They will preach on glory and self-help and how to succeed and stay away
from such concepts as Gods Law and our sin. This methodology works to
grow membership! People like a worldly looking church and worship, but
through these methods is Gods Kingdom growing? Can Gods Kingdom grow without the Word
preached (Law andGospel) and Sacraments at the center of Worship (Baptism and the Lords Sup-
per)? No. A church can grow in number, but without the Word, Gods Kingdom does not.
At the heart of what we do is, and always will be, the Word of God. Our number one goal is to stay
true to the Word and keep it at the core of all that we do. When we are committed to the Word then
God grows His Kingdom through us!
Isnt it wonderful to see all of the Baptisms we have had lately? When one child or adult is Bap-
tized, we usually have at least a dozen visitors who are here to see it and hear Gods Word. Whatbetter way to engage the world than through Gods promises of Baptism?!
From the beginning of time, God developed a perfect plan for church growth, and it is bound to his
plan for Kingdom growth which can only come through Word and Sacrament. The same Holy Spirit
that grew the Christian church from dozens to billions can and is using us to reach our community.
His methodologies have always been the sameWord and Sacrament to the glory of Christ.
ONLINE BOOK STUDY: SIMPLE CHURCHStarting in January, Pastor Voss leads a two-month online book study of
Simple Church. We will be reading about how to simplify what we do so that
we can focus our work for the Lord on our mission to share the Gospel. In oth-
er words, we will constantly ask the question, How can our church organiza-tion best serve our Gospel mission?!
Lets consider how we can de-clutter and focus as we read this highly regard-
ed book. No need to schedule your calendar to participate. This is on online
book study that we will discuss via an online forum.
Order your book through the church ofice by leaving a message with Karen We will purchase used
books in early December.
Register for this online book study today by going to our webpage:
www.nazluthchurch.com (registration begins November 10). At
the bottom of the web-page you will see the picture on your left
with the books. Simply click on it to register for our online forum.
THANK YOU RECEPTIONI was so happy to have so many of you show up for the thank you
reception. Joy and I truly appreciate all that the servants of this
church have done over the past year. We are so appreciative of all
of you who consider it an honor to serve Christ at Nazareth. God is
using us to make a difference in many lives. We look forward to
hosting this again next year, and maybe next time I will beat Madi-
son at Wii ping-pong. Until then, let us serve with gladness!
