the messenger ~ november 20194 16 he threw himself at jesus’ feet and thanked him… 19 then he...

The Moment itself is beautiful! “Be still, and know that I am God!” Psalm 46:10

This past month I was reading an interview with

musician Peter Mayer. Mayer is both a secular and

Christian artist and at one point the interviewer was

asking a question about how a musician can

possibly find new life in the same old songs,

especially when you play them over and over again.

I found Peter Mayer’s answer to be extremely

moving and challenging at the same time as he

connected music and scripture together. “When you

are in the moment, with Jimmy [Buffett] onstage, it

has to be new. And that’s the beauty of Scripture

too. When it is taken and applied and lived [out] in

your life, it just has to be new. That’s God’s word

among us. So when I’m playing “Margaritaville”—

and that’s a whole lot of [the chord] D—in the

moment, complexity doesn’t have anything to do

with beauty. The moment itself is beautiful because

it’s passing, and we are meant to live it. So when I

live that D, I just try to be right there in the moment

making the best D I can play.” (October 10, 2019.)

“The moment itself is beautiful because it’s passing,

and we are meant to live it.” This little statement hit

me like a ton of bricks and caused me to stop and

reflect. Do I understand each moment to be beautiful

or do I try and rush through the moments in my life

to get to something else? Goal setting is great.

Having a plan to follow is often very important. But

I wonder if sometimes in our efforts to ‘arrive’ we

forget to see the wonder in the journey itself.

Having done many years of youth ministry and

logged thousands of miles on youth trips I know

firsthand that the greatest ministry and impact you

often have on the lives of kids is not the actual event

itself, but the time it took to get there! Once while

traveling in the midst of rural Utah one of our

vehicles suffered a near cataclysmic failure. It

meant a complete disruption in our plans and it was,

to be honest, quite stressful. Taking stock of the

situation I came to the conclusion that the most

important thing we could do with the kids in that

moment was walk to Dairy Queen and eat ice

cream! Then we went to a park and played a game.

Afterwards one of the youths came up to me and

said, “I don’t understand. When everything was

going so bad, why didn’t you yell and get mad? I

didn’t know it was ok not to get angry.”

It was a powerful reminder to me of the importance

of each and every moment—as an opportunity to

actually live out the faith we proclaim. Thanks to the

Holy Spirit, I somehow had the strength and courage

to see the beauty in the moment, even if the moment

also carried with it concerns and challenges.

As we enter this time of Thanksgiving, I encourage

you to see the beauty in the moments that God has

given you. I am not naïve; I know that often life

brings stressful and anxious times; but I wonder if

there isn’t also beauty within. As we get inundated

with bad news and political spin that is meant to rile

us up—perhaps we need to focus on the beauty that

surrounds us as well. It reminds me of the often-

quoted advice that Mr. Rogers gave in regard to

helping children in the midst of disasters or tragic

events. “When I was a boy and I would see scary

things in the news, my mother would say to me,

‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people

who are helping.’”

Here’s to making the most of each and every

moment. Be thankful. Be generous. Be kind. Be

open. Be loving. Be on the look-out for the beauty

that God has given you, right now!

Peace!

16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him… 19 Then he [Jesus] said to him,

“Rise and go; your faith has made you well.” - Luke 17:16a, 19

Pastor Jeff preached on this Scripture in October. I am so thankful for Pastor Jeff for many, many reasons - not the least

of which are his wonderful sermons each Sunday. In his sermon, he highlighted the end of verse 19. To paraphrase, the

point that Pastor Jeff made was that although Jesus healed 10 lepers, he only told the one who returned to say “thank

you” that he was “well”.

well·ness /ˈwelnəs/ noun

noun: wellness 1. the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal.

"measures of a patient's progress toward wellness"

I Googled “Wellness” and came up with 1,470,000,000 results in 0.66 seconds). If there are over a billion “hits” on

Google, it must be important, right? Of course it is! We all want to be well. With the Thanksgiving holiday

approaching, we would do well to copy that 10th leper in being thankful and expressing our thanks for all the good (and

even the bad) in our lives. Thank you, Pastor Jeff, for your wonderful teaching (and for all the other gifts you bring to

our church).

What are some other ways for us to “be well”? The “Global Wellness Institute” lists the following “wellness

dimensions”:

Physical: A healthy body through exercise, nutrition, sleep, etc.

Mental: Engagement with the world through learning, problem-solving, creativity, etc.

Emotional: Being in touch with, aware of, accepting of, and able to express one’s feelings (and those of others).

Spiritual: Our search for meaning and purpose in human existence.

Social: Connecting with, interacting with, and contributing to other people and our communities.

Environmental: A healthy physical environment free of hazards; awareness of the role we play in bettering rather

than denigrating the natural environment.

As I read this list, it occurred to me that we can get each of these dimensions fulfilled by being active in our church. The

OWLS (Older Wiser Lutherans) offer an opportunity to get physical at their walk each Tuesday morning. Singing in the

choir, Bible Study, book studies, Sunday services provide opportunities for mental engagement. The Our Savior’s

Lutheran Church Mission Statement reinforces our emotional wellness by inspiring us to love and encouraging us to

think. Spiritual - come to church and hear the message. Social - come to church and worship with our community.

Environmental wellness is our care for God’s creation. Dennis and Heidi recycle our used bulletins each week. We use

environmentally responsible materials for our hospitality. Can you think of other ways we can be more responsible?

Give thanks Be Well Make a difference

Youth and Children’s Ministry

by Bob Cooper - Director of Youth and Children’s Ministries

The “Jan Brady” of Holidays

Here we are in November, the month in which we are

reminded to “count our blessings”. With Halloween

candy still a lingering temptation and Christmas

decorations dominating the retail world I would like

to take a moment to be thankful, thankful for the

wonderful life that our gracious God has allowed me

to have. Thankful for the people that have been put in

my life to support me, challenge me, and love me,

thankful in the knowledge that even if all of these

things are taken away from me that I will never walk

without the unconditional love and mercy of almighty

God. But those are the big things, I also love to find

the smaller things to be thankful for such as:

I flipped on the light switch and the light came on

I turned on the shower and hot water came out

I opened the refrigerator and it was cold inside

I opened a can of peaches and there were peaches

inside

My car still had air in all four tires and started

right up

I arrived to work without incident

Look, my computer has not crashed!

You see? The list is much larger than might be at first

apparent, if we just look we can be constantly

grateful! As I tell the kids, “the problem we have with

God is not that he is so far away that we can’t see

him, it’s that he is so close that we overlook him”

I’ll be seeing the power of our gracious God on full

display in the month of November as the preschool

choir “Messy Blessings” joins our Celebration

Singers for a Veteran’s Day tribute. We will also be

going with 300 or so of our middle school friends to

the annual Synod Middle School Youth Gathering

held at the Anaheim Sheraton later in the month.

So let’s remember to be grateful as the “Middle

Child” holiday (wedged in between Halloween and

Christmas) seeks to keep us in a state of gratitude for

all of the blessings we have to be thankful for.

God’s Grateful Servant,

Bob Cooper

distributed at FAM’s annual Christmas party on

Saturday, December 14, which means we MUST have

all shoes by Wednesday, December 11. You may

choose a tag from the tree or simply purchase a pair of

sneakers Child Size 5 – Adult Size 7 and bring to the

and girls. Our goal is 200 pairs of shoes, and FAM is so

appreciative of our dedication to this project every year.

Invite your family and friends to contribute a pair of

sneakers. We can’t have too many!

This project requires many volunteers on the day of the party: deliver shoes to the community center, set-up the

shoe store, assist children with trying on shoes and tear-down at the end of the party. Watch for a Sign-Up

Genius email if you would like to help. It is a fun and joyful event and you will be rewarded with lots of

COUNCIL NOTES

H appy November Everybody! We are

definitely into the Church Council busy

season!

We have Reformation Sunday with our famous

Bratwurst sandwiches and also we have Yellow

Tail fish (so…YUM).

We have our Trick or Trunk (so… Yummier).

Stewardship campaign will be in high gear

(Tithing is your best option here).

Quilts and Health kits have been boxed up and

delivered to Lutheran Social Services to be

dispersed in the world (boxes filled with comfort

and love).

Buildings and Grounds is a year round event

(Chuck Simon is the Man!)

Sunday School is growing each week (give them

candy and they will come).

Youth is constantly in motion and have a new

youth room in the 300 building (try to keep up).

Everything that happens here at Our Savior’s is

through the time and talents of many. Your church

council, although to most is running in the

background as a well oiled machine is actually a

group of Christ centered, fun loving, joke telling,

Church loving folks who help each other out and

discuss the options (donut gate was very intense) for

all of us to have an awesome place to worship and

have fellowship.

Respectfully Submitted by,

M’Liz Kelly, Council Secretary

Blessing of the Animals! What a great opportunity to bless and give thanks for

our pets and to gather as different faith traditions

here in San Clemente.

Thanks so much to everyone who helped with the

Outlets of San Clemente Shopping Extravaganza by

either volunteering to work the event or purchasing a

ticket and shopping. Our Savior’s made a profit of

$1,450.00. It was a really fun day to be out in the

our logo on it for the goody bag and people stopped

by just to thank us for that!

We also had a great Preschool Sunday and are so

grateful to all the preschool families who attended.

We have almost 40 children in our children’s choir –

Messy Blessings that we started this year. It is a

blessing to hear the children sing.

In November the preschoolers will be focusing on

language and we participate in Read for the Record

day which is the world’s largest shared reading

experience. Children all over the world will be

reading Thank You, Omu!

The preschool will have a craft table at Trick or

Trunk and each of the classrooms will have a

decorated car. The event is not just for kids. We

hope you can come and enjoy the fun.

We started a two year old class in October and are

now using all six preschool classrooms. We are

filled with gratitude for all the many blessings that

have been given to our preschool.

Blessings,
