What's Your Calling?

January 19, 2015                 Yesterday afternoon many of us got to experience a wonderful concert here at Our Savior by opera singer tenor Mark Thomsen.    On a bit of a funny note, before the concert I was sitting next to one of our visitors who said he came thinking of it kind of like a flu shot.  He didn't totally understand it (opera singing) but thought it would be good for him.  I laughed and agreed at little with him.  By the end of the concert we both felt it really was good for us both!   It was great.  We were glad we were there, and it didn't hurt at all! :-)   After the concert it was clear, in light of yesterday's theme at worship, that Mark, that great tenor, had found his calling!   He was amazing, talented, engaging and fun!  Thanks, Mark, and Ryan and Johanna for arranging this!   Not everyone's calling is as clear or obvious as this tenor's is.   But in fact, each one of us does have a calling.  Wherever we are, and whatever our gifts, strengths, weaknesses, abilities or vulnerabilities, we have a calling.   And that is to be a reflection of God's grace and mery at work in us and in God's world; to be Jesus' hands and feet, eyes and ears, in a world that God doesn't give up on.  That takes place in all kinds of settings and situations.  As kind of a fun "visual" of where we are called, we have 3 maps in the coffee area part of our narthex: a county map, a USA map and a world map, each with the sign, "Put a Pin Where You Live".   How fun to see where we all live, including places all around the country and the world!  These are all the places we are called to be God's people at work in the world.  We'll keep those maps there for a while, so you can put your pin in where you live!   One of the ways we can see how God calls people to be his hands and feet in the world is in a movie, "Kindness is Contagious". This movie will be shown this coming Thursday evening at an Interfaith Event sponsored by "Compassion Vero".  See the flyer below for more information.  Hope you can join us for that.    For other things going on at Our Savior please visit our website at www.oursaviorelca.com.     Also, please join us for the annual congregational meeting between services this Sunday, March 25th - 9:45 a.m.   Have a grace filled week!   See you in church!    Pastor Jack Diehl +         Weekly Devotions and Prayers: Taking Home Faith

Baptized and Identified

January 12, 2015             Yesterday in worship we got to celebrate the Baptism of Alivia Madison Elsebough (who at 5 days old was our "baby Jesus" this past December 14 for the Sunday School Christmas program!)   What a wonderful celebration of how God claims us as His own, not only for her extended family gathered around (4 generations worth!) but for all of us as we both remembered our own Baptism and saw again how God continues to be at work among us, claiming us and sending us into the world.   Now, as Baptized sons and daughters of God and members of the Body of Christ, that identity is something that needs to be nurtured and lived out.  As this season of Epiphany unfolds (a short season this year, ending Feb.15) there are a number of ways and places to nurture and live out that special identity we share.  Here are just a few: Adult Sunday School class, Lutheranism 101; Wednesday night suppers (great conversation and breaking bread together);  Youth Group and Music Programs, every week, worship, every week, Saturday at 6pm or Sunday at 8:30 or 11am; and community service of all kinds along with the many activities listed on our website and in our service bulletins...... check it all out at www.oursaviorelca.com.     What are some of the ways you nurture and live out your Baptismal identity, as you remember who you are and to whom you belong?   Pass them along and we'll share them!  Thanks.    See you in church!    Pastor Jack Diehl +   P.S. - the Intergenerational Orchestra will help lead worship on January 25th with a rehearsal this coming Sunday evening at 6:00 p.m.  If you would like to be a part of it all contact Ryan at Music@oursaviorelca.com and he will get you music!    P.P.S - Don't miss what will be a great concert this coming Sunday, information below!        Weekly Devotions and Prayers: Taking Home Faith

Happy 12th Day of Christmas!

January 5, 2015                 Happy 12th Day of Christmas!  Whew!   Just this morning here in the office at Our Savior we were reflecting on what a great Christmas season it has been.  But now how it will be good to get back to more of a routine (whatever that may look like!)   At least we might know what day it is without having to check the calendar.  :-)   And speaking of getting back to more of a routine, our Wednesday suppers resume at 6pm (roast pork and saurkraut this week), Wednesday Bible study at 10am, God Pause at noon, handbell and choir practices Wednesday evening and more.    Check our website for all this and more:  www.oursaviorelca.com.   So here we are in the early days of 2015, with another year lying before us.  This is always a time of the year filled with a mixture of hope and perhaps some anxieties...what lies ahead?  Just yesterday after worship I talked to one person about a new job coming in this new year, to another about a baby coming this year and to another about grandbaby coming !   Hope, promise, excitement, a little anxiety, all wrapped up together.    That's why I love entering the New Year during the last days of Christmas and the early days of Epiphany.  These 2 seasons give the clear message that the God of all time and space, the Alpha and the Omega, has come among us, full of grace and truth.  This God is the Light for our path and our "hope for years to come" as the one hymn reminds us.    While we may not know all that lies ahead, we know who goes with us, and that we are not alone.  With that kind of assurance and promise, and being together in this community of faith, we can say, 2015, bring it on!    See you in church!     Pastor Jack Diehl +      Weekly Devotions and Prayers: Taking Home Faith

Can you provide a dinner for Camp Haven?

Every day, men in our community are desperately struggling with homelessness. Many of them have lost all hope. These physically and emotionally depleted men tend to make wrong choices, which in turn costs our community thousands of dollars. The community, through Camp Haven, is responding to their needs by providing a safe environment that will help men committed to transforming their lives, free themselves from destitution and despair and prepare them to embrace a productive life. Join us in helping them break from the cycle of homelessness and become contributing members of Indian River County.   - Lalita Janke President, Camp Haven Board   Provide a meal for the men of Camp Haven!  We have now been providing Wednesday dinner for the men of Camp Haven for 7 months. Wow! Camp Haven has been so grateful. We would like to continue in the year ahead. Can you help? What is needed?  A main dish for 15 people on any Wednesday night. Just a main dish (a casserole, lasagna, chili, pasta dish, hearty soup, etc.), they can furnish the sides. The dish can be cooked in your own home and delivered directly to Camp Haven by 5:00pm on Wednesday. Disposable food containers are available at the church. If you need to contact Camp Haven to deliver at another time, call 772-999-3625.  Sign me up! Click here: Wednesday Dinner for Camp Haven to see what Wednesdays are available and sign up.  (By signing up this way through Volunteerspot you will receive a reminder email the week you signed up, which is a help if you pick a Wednesday several months from now.)   Thank you for considering helping with this ministry of feeding others!   Pastor Shelly
