By Now You’ve Heard the News — Pastor Eric

If you’ve been able to make it to worship the last few Sundays, then you’ve heardthe news. The news that we are embarking during the month of October on planning for next year and inviting everyone to make a pledge/commitment to The Lord’s ministry through Servant of Christ.

Here are some of the ways your giftsmake a difference: help form a child’s identity as a child of God in SundaySchool. Encourage young people intheir faith during the critical years ofConfirmation. In Senior High young people are given opportunities for fellowship and growth. Adults are educated and encouraged in their faith. Incredible local agencies likeC.E.A.P. and C.R.O.S.S. are served.Missionaries are supported, future pastors are trained, Camp Wapo is supported.Excellent staff are trained and equipped. People are ministered to in times of greatjoy and suffering in life. The homeless are housed; homeless young people arehoused and given new skills — FOLKS THE LIST IS EXHAUSTIVE AND I’VE JUSTSCRATCHED THE SURFACE!!!

As you receive your financial commitment packet I hope you will take just a moment or two to read through it carefully and will take a leap of faith and increaseyour commitment for 2018. We are blessed that generosity is part of the culturehere at SOC.

Please consider for 2017 making a pledge and also becoming part of the SimplyGiving electronic option. Joan and I have been giving electronically now for a number of years and it is soooo easy.

Your gifts, given generously and joyfully (see 2 Corinthians 9:6-8) really do matterand really do make a difference. I know sometimes it’s easy to think they don’t buteach gift makes a difference. They help us reach our goals and help us to continueto be fiscally responsible as a congregation.

Imagine for a moment with me what if: What if we each took a leap of faith in our giving in 2018? What if it was a joyful leap? What if instead of thinking aboutwhat we don’t have we focused on what God has blessed us with? Incredible thingshave been done and can be done by you the faithful followers of Jesus at Servantof Christ.

I’m really excited for this fall and can’t wait to see you in worship this Sunday!

Blessings, Pastor Eric

Come, let us sing for joy to theLORD; let us shout aloud to theRock of our salvation.

— Psalm 95

Upcoming Preaching ThemesSunday, 10/1 “Formed to Be Generous”Text Genesis 28:10-22Theme Jacob had an amazing dream with a promise from God. Because of

that dream he made a conscious decision to become generous because of God’s promises.

Questions to Think About as You Read:

1) Why do you think there are lots of churches and a number of colleges named “Bethel”?

2) Can you name some specific instances where you were generous to others or someone else was generous towards you? What was that feeling like?

3) How do/could God’s promises form us in terms of our relationship with money?

Sunday, 10/8 “Offering as Formation Faith”Text Exodus 36:3-7 Theme In this passage we see an incredible picture of what happens when

everybody responds to God’s call.


1) Why is it so challenging for many to make a link between faith and financial gifts?2) If Moses and his friends were a “church” what do you think the attitude of that

church might have been like?3) Why is the word “freewill” so important when it comes to the offering?

Sunday, 10/15 “Formed to Have Generous Hearts”Text Luke 12:13-21Theme This passage along with many others tells us about Jesus’

understanding of the role possessions and our attachments to them play in our lives. In a society where often more and bigger are better he calls us to stop and think about to what and whom our hearts are really attached.


1) Have you ever saved a bunch of stuff because it was so important only tocome to understand later that it wasn’t really that important after all?

2) In what ways do we in our society try to “build bigger barns”?3) What do you think is the antidote for this kind of materialism?

Sunday, 10/22 MEA & Minnesota Adult & Teen ChallengeThe 40-50 voice choir members from Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge will beleading worship at both services. Be sureto invite your friends and family for an opportunity to hear how God is working in the lives of people as they live the storyof the Bible to become like Jesus!

THE SERVANT SPIRIT 3

Sunday, 10/29 “REFORM THIS!!!”Text Romans 3:19-31Theme The words from this passage are words that Martin Luther found

difficult to digest but ultimately illuminating for his breakthrough discovery that changed the face of Christianity around the world. The world is still impacted by Luther’s contribution to The Reformation.


1) How does Romans 3:23-24 serve as a foundation for understanding Jesus?2) Google “The Reformation”: How did it contribute to Christianity?

It’s Fall Fun at Servant Schoolhouse PreschoolIt’s October! Leaves are turning color and falling to the ground, soon there will be a distinct “chill” in the air. Our sciencetable will be full of pumpkins, gourds, acorns and Indian corn! All of our friends are welcome to bring signs of fall they findwhile outside! We will also be making our own applesauce for snack one day! It always smells so good after making it withour fresh apples!

We are also going to be talking and learning about spiders, bats and pumpkins! Do you know what is inside a pumpkin? It is a fun question to ask! Some believe that is where you will find a pumpkin pie!

At the end of the month we will be having our Halloween party! All the children will be in their costumes and we will parade around the church for parents and staff to see!

Before snack each day we recite a short prayer together:

“We pray for peace, good food and happiness for all the children of the world. Amen.”

The Gift of Grace — Pastor Melissa

“Since all have sinnedand fall short of theglory of God; and theyare now justified by hisgrace as a gift, throughthe redemption that is in Jesus Christ..”— Romans 3:23-24

After centuries of han-dling and mishandling,most religious wordshave become so wornout nobody’s much interested any more. Not so with grace, for some reason. Incredibly, even related words such as gracious and graceful still have some of thebloom left.

Grace is something you can never get but only be given. There’s no way to earn it or deserve it or bring it about any more than you can deserve the taste of raspberries and cream or earn good looks or bring about your own birth.

A good sleep is grace and so are good dreams. Most tears are grace. The smellof rain is grace. Somebody loving you is grace. Loving somebody is grace. Have you ever tried to love somebody?

A crucial difficulty of the Christian faith is the assertion that people are saved bygrace. There’s nothing you have to do. There’s nothing you have to do. There’snothing you have to do.

The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never havebeen, but you are because the party wouldn’t be complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don’t be afraid. I am with you.Nothing can ever separate us. It is for you and the sake of the world that Jesusgave his life.

There’s only one catch. (You’re thinking… I knew it was too good to be true!) Theonly catch is that like any other gift, the gift of grace can be yours only if you’llreach out and take it.

On second thought, maybe being able to reach out and take it is a gift too…

Please help dwell in the gift of grace as we celebrate the 500th anniversary of theReformation on October 29th at 9 a.m. and 10:45 a.m.

Thankful to be living by His grace, Pastor Melissa
