Pastor’s Thoughts...

Blessed November, people of Palm!

Welcome to the month between. The leaves have turned brilliant shades of gold, orange, pink, yellow, and red. The corn is golden. Harvests have been taken in, and it’s time to celebrate and give thanks for the year’s work and the abun-dance of God’s gifts. That’s why Americans celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of this month.

But November is also the month between life and death. We’re on the threshold of winter now, with the days getting shorter and colder. During this month, particularly on No-vember 1st and 2nd, the Church remembers those who have gone ahead of us into everlasting life. The cold and dark time of the year coming is a reminder that death will come for us all some day. But when it comes, the saints at rest will be waiting to welcome us, as will the One who went before us into death.

As we proclaim every Sunday, Christ has died, Christ is ris-en, and Christ will come again. When that happens, we, the Church, will be waiting. We’ll be welcomed home and enjoy a divine banquet with all those who bear the sign of the cross. We’ll have passed through the autumn and winter of life, and wakened into everlasting spring, where death no longer exists.

Until then, we’ll keep singing and sewing, feeding the hun-gry and giving out teddy bears and prayer shawls, working and proclaiming the good news together. Plus, we’ll take the time to give thanks for the gifts of the past year, and the beauty of winter that lies ahead. See you in church!

Grace and peace,

Pr. Carl

September Council Meeting Highlights

Page 4 Volume 19 Issue 10

by Sandy Werkheiser, RN, BSN, MSN

Family Caregivers are relatives, friends, or neighbors who provide unpaid assistance for an-other person who no longer can care for themselves. In 2009 there were 61 million unpaid

caregivers in the USA. They provide care such as meal preparation, personal hygiene, medica-tion administration, cleaning, laundry, food shopping, transportation to doctor appointments,

managing financial issues like paying bills, etc. etc. etc. Some caregivers are providing care at home that in the past was provided by a nurse in the hospital, such as wound care, injection and/or IV administration, op-erating medical equipment. Now those skills are the job of the caregiver. Caregivers typically spend 20 hours a week giving care.

November is Family Caregivers Month and we should honor those caregivers we know. There are some bene-fits of being a caregiver. Studies have shown that those who provide caregiving have higher cognitive func-tion than those who do not provide care. Cognitive function refers to mental abilities such as learning, think-ing, reasoning, remembering, problem-solving and attention. Some caregivers feel particularly close to the re-cipient even in spite of the many hours caring for another and having a demanding workload.

One negative of being a caregiver is that the time required to give care infringes on their own activities which in turn may cause depression and resentment. The stress and strain of caregiving have been found to produce a 15% lower level of antibody response and 23% higher level of stress hormones in their bodies. When this happens the caregiver is in danger of developing a decline in their health and lowering their ability to recover from illness.

Caregiver stress is the emotional and physical strain of caregiving that can cause burnout. Some signs of burnout are anger, exhaustion, nagging aches and pains, overeating or loss of appetite, loss of joy in doing things once loved, feeling irritable. Here are some tips to avoid burnout.

⚫ Enlist a friend to help. A friend can stay with the recipient while you take time for yourself.

⚫ Take time out for yourself by getting a massage, watching your favorite TV show, listening to your favorite music, and meditation. Exercising even 20 minutes three times a week gives you a break.

⚫ Seek support from local agencies such as home health, your church, adult day care organizations, and the county Office of the Aging.

⚫ Join a support group.

⚫ Talk to a therapist or a social worker who can link you with agencies that can help you out with the demands of the care.

⚫ Throw away any feelings of guilt and worry. You can’t do it all and you deserve some time to yourself.

Remember to take care of yourself so that you can take care of others.

The Ministry of Listening by Ann Miller

Think of a time when you really felt cared for. Chances are someone focused on what you had to say, was attentive to your needs, and listened to how you felt instead of telling you how

you should feel or what you should do.

Listening is one of the most powerful ministry tools at our disposal. It demonstrates that you care about the other person. In Stephen Ministry, a great deal of time is spent in teaching and practicing listening skills because of their importance as caregiving tools. We can all become more caring listeners by under-standing and applying these six listening concepts from Stephen Ministry training:

⚫ Listening is active. It takes energy and commitment to listen really well. Focus your attention on what the other person has to say, instead of thinking of what you’ll say next. Look at him or her while you listen, and nod along from time to time so the person knows you’re tuned in.

⚫ Listening takes patience. Often you need to build trust before someone will open up to you. Con-stant, patient listening is a key.

⚫ Listening involves more that just words. Pay attention not only to what is said, but to what is not said – or to what is said with a smile or a sigh. Pay attention to body language, too. Does it agree with or contradict a person’s spoken words?

⚫ Good listeners aren’t completely silent. They restate key thoughts or ideas to be sure they under-stood correctly or ask focused questions to encourage the person to reach a little deeper.

⚫ Listening happens over time. One conversation might build upon an earlier one. As you listen over several conversations, are there any recurring themes or patterns in what the person has said? Are there any contradictions from what was said earlier? These are signs there may be more to explore underneath.

⚫ Listening is confidential. A great way to build that trust and to show the person you really care for him or her is to maintain confidentiality and not to share with others what was told to you in private conversations.

Jesus was the model of a good listener. Much of his ministry was listening to people. By listening to what people had to say he demonstrated how much he really cared about them. Remember the stories of the woman at the well, and Nicodemus, to the disciples on the road to Emmaus. All were times when Je-sus showed his care and concern by first listening to people and then giving them what they needed.

We all want Palm to be a caring place, where members and guests truly feel people care about who they are and how they feel. All of us can use these good listening skills to communicate how much we care for each other – here at Palm, in our homes, and in our place of work. Following and practicing these listening principles is the start of a concentrated effort towards becoming a better listener. Listening is a great gift we can give one an-other, and one we can all use in order to make Palm and our lives even more caring.

On September 26, Palm served 58 spaghetti lunches at the Noon Meal. In November and December we will serve lunch on the third Thursday due to Thanksgiving and Christmas. On November 21, we will order pizza from Pizza Hut and provide a salad. A charitable donation will be given (with notice from the bulletin) since it counts as eating at Pizza Hut. On December 19, soup will probably be served.

Thanks to all who contributed to the 15 personal care kits, 28 school kits, and 27 extra bars of soap we were able to assemble on September 24 for Lutheran World Relief.

We will be collecting items for the Caring Cupboard Thanksgiving meals from October 20 until November 17. Those items are listed to the right for your shopping convenience. We will buy turkeys.

We will buy hams for the Caring Cupboard Christmas meals, and from November 17 to December 15, collect t-shirts (Med.-3X) and boxer briefs (Med.-3X), socks, and hats & gloves for the Rescue Mission and Christ-mas gifts for the Agape House in Lebanon. We will have names on the tree for Christmas gifts.

Pr Carl, Thank you so much for Palm Lutheran’s faithful

support and your most recent gift of $770 to help our residents at Spang Crest! Please extend our gratitude to your congregation.

Your church is a great blessing to so many people in need ☺ In service, Ryan Fisher

Dear friends at Palm, Thank you for your ongoing prayers and expres-

sions of concern for Harry and me during my illness, surgery and recovery. I have been very blessed by God that this was discovered when it was and that the cancer was encapsulated so that I do not need chemotherapy or radiation. That is truly a blessing from God’s Hands. Thank you for your cards, and for Pastor Rabbe’s visits and prayers when I was in the hospital. They are very much appreciated. Thank you to Patty Van Scyoc for her beautiful handmade notes and the Prayer Shawl Ministry for the lovely and colorful prayer shawl. I continue to improve, one day at a time, and I remain in His Hands. Yours in Christ Jesus, Karen Fox

Dear Siblings in Christ at Palm Lutheran Church, Thank you for your recent gift of $695.00 given on

August 31, 2019. As we are well into the fall of the year, we are very aware of God’s blessings upon us. Chief among them are devoted and supportive friends

such as you. Thank you so much for your generosity! Yours in Christ, Michael Youse Executive Director Lutheran Camping Corporation

Dear Palm Lutheran, On behalf of everyone at Phoenix Youth center,

I’d like to thank you for your generous donation of $128 from your proceeds at Palmyra’s Great Give. Your support of our services is appreciated more than you can know. Students in the community are able to re-ceive homework help, free tutoring and a safe place to play and socialize due to the generosity of people like you! Sincerely, Chelsea Weibley Executive Director
