“We are all broken. That is how the light gets in.” – Ernest Hemingway

Shalom,

What a glorious summer and beginning to fall! Abundant rain and many days of amazing glory –

one of my greatest pleasures is walking early in the morning and watching the sun rise. Each day

is different. The light we see each day is filtered in a myriad of ways, bringing a new vista every

morning. Clouds on the horizon, scattered in the sky above, allow the colors to diffuse. A sunrise

without a cloud on the horizon or in the sky is just light – illuminating but stark.

Ernest Hemingway as an author wrote much that has been quoted, but the one above is a favorite

of mine. It is a very simple statement of God’s work in our lives.

The stories left to us in the Bible often show us that brokenness brings blessing. That seems to go

against reason, doesn’t it? Think of the story of Jacob and Esau. It took Jacob acknowledging his

brokenness for God not only to begin the process of his healing but then to use him and his brokenness

to reach the world.

There is a crack in everything — that’s how the light gets in.

This life is not for the perfect. It is not for the flawless. It is not for the whole. If you are like me, there

are parts of you that are very good, and there are parts of you that are aching. There are parts of you

that strive and fall short; there are parts of you that feel broken. Those are the parts that let in the light.

Don’t run from your imperfections. Don’t hide from your brokenness. Broken bones re-grow stronger at

the very location where they are broken. Those are the spots where the light will shine through.

Our God is a God of broken crockery, a God of shattered hearts, who despite the challenges of life,

invites us to pick ourselves up and continue to move forward. And we, an ancient, broken people, we

have journeyed on our way across the millennia bringing a message of hope to a broken planet. It is the

work we are still called to do. It also means we do not judge the brokenness of others but look to

what God can do through theirs as well. Through Jesus Christ we are given our identity and we are

given a purpose. Through our brokenness he passes the light that can illuminate the darkness.

Blessings

Message from Bishop Ough

on recent violence

The past several days my morning prayers return to the

same despairing and desperate lament:

It’s too much! Violence upon violence has overrun grace

upon grace.

I can’t deal with all the terror and violence.

How much longer, O God. It’s just too much!

My heart echoes the psalmist’s cry:

“O God, do not keep silence;

do not hold your peace or be still, O God!” (Psalm 83:1)

The last few days have been overwhelming, nearly incomprehensible. The terrorist attacks in

St. Cloud and New York/New Jersey; the police shootings of African-American men in Tulsa

and Charlotte; the relentless, numbing homicides in Chicago (and increasingly Minneapolis) city

streets boiling over with angry protesters and rioters—all add to the narrative of death and fear

reported daily throughout our nation. It is too much!

The only place I can turn is to the One who is always faithful. So, the refrain to my lament is:

“Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see;

all I have needed thy hand has provided;

great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!” (UM Hymnal #140)

God remains God in the midst of the violent chaos. And God’s saving, reconciling narrative

remains unwavering in the midst of hopelessness and despair.

So, I urge you to turn to God in prayer. Pray for all those who suffer as a result of violent and

terror-inducing acts. Pray that God will comfort families and friends of the victims. Pray for the

first responders and those, including the police, who work to protect public safety. Pray for all

those feeling vulnerable, isolated, insecure, and fearful. Pray for peace.

So, I urge you to engage in the difficult but necessary and urgent public debate about gun

control and the growing prominence of violence in our culture. Engage in the debate about

policing our communities. Acknowledge the persistent, debilitating, institutionalized reality of

racism and racial/religious violence and injustice. Racial/religious justice is ultimately about the

restoration of right, respectful, and equitable relationships. Seek and build restorative

relationships. Become a peacemaker.

So, I pray:

Gracious and ever-faithful God, Prince of Peace, Healer of the Nations, vanish our despair and

fear. Grant us wisdom, strength, courage, and humbleness of heart to always choose your path;

to always choose to overcome evil with mercy and justice; to always choose peace; to always

place our trust in you, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Worship Focus/Worship Preparation

Seasons of the Spirit – October, 2016

October 2 – Living Love Letter – Confirmation Sunday (Joint Worship 9:00 am)

Focus Text: 2 Timothy 1:1–14 “I am reminded of your sincere faith, faith that lived first in

your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and now, I am sure, lives in you.” The

church community grows because of the wisdom and nurture provided by members of the

community. Each one of us can point to someone – and probably several people – who inspire and challenge us on

our faith journey. In this week’s scripture, Paul points out that Timothy’s faith reminds him of the faith of Timothy’s

mother and grandmother. We are heirs to a faith tradition that can strengthen us in our own walks with God.

Additional Texts for Study and Devotions: Lamentations 1:1–6; Lamentations 3:19–26; Psalm 137: Luke 17:5–10

This week: e-mail or call a woman who has had a great effect on your faith journey and let her know what her

influence means to you.

October 9 – Reoriented Toward Gratitude

Focus Text: Luke 17:11–19 “Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, ‘Jesus, have mercy on us!’” Jesus’ healing

of the 10 with leprosy shows us God’s endurance during the most difficult and painful times through to healing on the

other side. It is in the actions of the 10 that they are made well – Jesus invites them to go and return to the

community so they might be a part of it again. Our own actions day-today reflect the role of faith in our lives.

Although we might not experience dramatic physical healing, we can step out in faith and allow God to heal

relationships or personal wounds that make us unwell.

Additional Texts for study and devotions: Jeremiah 29:1, 4–7; Psalm 66:1–12; 2 Timothy 2:8–15

This week: Ask God to heal a relationship that is broken. Take an action toward healing and do something that will

help make your relationship healthy again.

October 16 – A Voice for Justice

Focus Text: Luke 18:1–8 “Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart.” The

persistent widow in this scripture did not give up. She continually demanded justice from the unjust judge. And

despite the judge’s hardened heart, the widow “wore him out”; she endured. We don’t know the specific situation of

the widow’s case for justice, but we can all probably quickly cite examples of injustice that we see in the world around

us. But we can’t forget: God’s justice is always with us.

Additional Texts for Study and Devotions: Jeremiah 31:27–34; Psalm 119:97–104;2 Timothy 3:14—4:5

This week: think of a situation that’s in need of justice today. Take action that will help bring about justice in that

situation – maybe in writing a letter or placing a phone call to an elected official, joining in a march or protest, or

praying for the endurance of the persistent widow.

October 23 – Dance of Pride and Humility

Focus Text: Luke 18:9–14 “All who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.”

We can easily fall into the trap of the Pharisee in this passage – thanking God that we are not like so-and-so. Because

of society’s emphasis on image and self-promotion (think about social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and

Instagram), we can quickly pass judgment on what people say, do, and on their appearance. Jesus reminds us that in

the reign of God, “all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Additional Texts for Study and Devotions: Joel 2:23–32; Psalm 65; 2 Timothy 4:6–8, 16–18

This week: think about the unhealthy comparisons you make between others and yourself. Make a list of ways you can

build up a healthy self-esteem that doesn’t put others down.

October 30 – Salvation for All

Focus Text: Luke 19:1–10 “’Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today.’ So Zacchaeus

hurried down and was happy to welcome to Jesus.” Jesus’ visit to Zacchaeus’ house shows us how important it is to

share how much God’s love really means to us – with our hospitality and sacrifice. Zacchaeus was viewed by many

as a sinner, and even unclean because of his interactions with the Romans. Jesus called Zacchaeus by name –

knowing what was in his heart, even as the crowd grumbled. Jesus said, “For the Son of God came to seek out and to

save the lost.”

Additional Texts for Study and Devotions: Habbakkuk 1:1–4, 2:1–4; Psalm 119:137–144; 2 Thessalonians1:1–4,

11–12

This week: Invite someone into your home for a meal.

Please keep our confirmation class

travel the world, meet new people, see new cultures, learn different languages, and especially try new foods. I

haven’t travelled much yet but the state I really want to visit is Massachusetts. I have wanted to go there ever

since I did a report on the state in 4th grade. I just loved the history of Massachusetts and it was a fun place

to learn about.

Chance Miller

attend school at Dover-Eyota. My favorite subject is Spanish. I enjoy eating, fishing, swimming and hanging

Introducing our Confirmands

Whitewater State Park – Celebration of Baptism

(Look on the St Charles UMC Facebook page for pictures)

Yes, I know, all of our pastors and congregations would echo what I am about to say. But, I do

believe, I am given the opportunity to live and serve in one of the most beautiful parts of

Minnesota. St. Charles has a nickname – the Gateway to Whitewater State Park. What is a

beautiful recreational gathering place became a sanctuary of breathtaking beauty, peace and

wonder. The joy of the baptized and their families and sponsors, the laughter and tears gave

worship to God in an overpowering way. As their pastor, friend and companion in faith, my heart

was full to overflowing. God is always about something new and exciting – how powerful it to

watch it unfold. We are so blessed!

Worship Committee Meeting Minutes St Charles United Methodist Church September 18, 2016; 7:00 p.m.

Attendees: Pastor Heather, Marion Decker, Marcie Dabelstein, Rory Ellsworth, Teri Arnold (note taker)

Pastor Heather opened the meeting with devotions and prayer.

1) What is going well? Music was discussed. Live music is preferred, but CDs work well also.

2) What needs to be tweaked? Rory mentioned that the songs could be burned onto blank CDs so worship leader could run selection. Time is needed to create them, and it would be distracting to worship leader to run. Decision to continue with volunteers. Recommended that confirmation students be asked to volunteer first.

3) What is this committee’s recommendation to council regarding musicians for worship? Until then how get volunteers to run CD player?

We will continue to pursue live music. Options suggestions include scheduling Kristie Moody as often as possible, asking student volunteers, especially Ellie Karlen. We will request the council set payment per

Sunday. Kristie charges $75 per Sunday. Amount for students? We will request that Dianna create a sign up sheet for people to volunteer to run CD player. Confirmation

students will be asked to sign up first.

4) Upcoming Sundays pastor will be gone (10/9, 11/27, 1/1, 1/8) - what does the committee recommend for coverage? Joint council has suggested pulpit supply for 11/27 & 1/1 with joint worship.

The following suggestions will be taken to council: 10/9 - hire supply pastor 11/27 - Hanging of the greens Sunday - joint service is not recommended. Worship committee to plan. 1/1 - hire supply pastor 1/8 - hire supply pastor

5) Joint council decisions - Joint worship at SC 10/2 at 9:00 am (Confirmation Service); no worship service on Sunday 12/25

Question was asked about times for Christmas Eve services. Response: Same as usual - 5:00 pm Dover; 7:00 pm St Charles. Discussed small attendance in St Charles. Suggested we explore option of a joint service on 12/24 at 5:00 pm, alternating sites. Will take to joint council in October.

6) Easter services discussion - Sunrise, 2nd

service Pastor Heather suggested we have Sunrise service at 7:30 am with breakfast following and no service at 8:30 am. Worship committee will recommend this to ad council.

7) Special Services (i.e., cowboy service, etc) Teri & Jon Arnold mentioned at a council meeting that Jon’s brother Steve has played his guitar at cowboy

services. Steve is willing to do the same for a service here, but he had shoulder surgery so would not be available until next year. Jon agreed to work with him to put a service with him. Will schedule in late spring or early summer 2017.

We should all think of other types of services - possibly for Sundays when we would need a supply pastor.

8) Next Meeting - November 7 at 6:30 p.m.

Tasks to be completed By Whom

Create sign up sheet for running CD machine in worship Pastor Heather will ask Dianna Pulley

Talk to Ellie Karlen about playing for worship services Pastor Heather

Present suggestions to St Charles council: Set pay for students playing music for worship services Set Easter schedule - worship at 7:30 am with breakfast following Present to Joint council: Joint worship for Christmas Eve at 5:00 pm at alternate sites
