Mission QuiltersHave Successful 2014!

Mission Quilters, a small but "mighty" group had a great year! We made 63 large quilts (60"x80"), 9 Child Size Quilts (40"x60"), 20 Ground Quilts (32"x60") as

well as 23 Sun Dresses, 49 "Shirts" and 24 Receiving Blankets sent with Carol Davis to Uganda. Our large and small quilts go to Lutheran World Relief and our Ground Quilts will be distributed to orphans in Swaziland so they don't have to sleep on the dirt �oor!

Can you sew? Can you tie a knot? Can you use a pair of scissors? Do you have a sense of design? Do you like to "stitch in the ditch"? If you answer "yes" to any of these questions we would LOVE to have you join us! We meet the second and fourth Monday of each month from 9-12 (or so...)

If you would like to join us or help us make quilts in 2015 please contact Joanne Holter (jeholter@msn.com) or Darlene Danyo (dedanyo@aol.com). We would love to hear from you!

Pastor DJ’s Message

Lutherans and the AngelsLast month, I wrote about what angels were. This month, I’m going to spend some time visiting Lutheran beliefs regarding angels. It may be helpful (especially if you’re new to the newsletter) to revisit last month’s

issue for an understanding of how I will approach the existence of angels.

This month’s newsletter comes from a question asking, “Do Lutherans believe in angels?” It is a simple question, and could be given a simple answer: yes. However, pastors have a minimum word requirement for newsletter articles and so I feel compelled to ask, “What do Lutherans believe about angels?”

There is a woman in Ohio I would visit who had angels of all kinds spread about her house. Her husband (upon my �rst visit to their home) said that he did not particularly like the angels all over and said “but she grew up Presbyterian” as an excuse; as if a good Lutheran home would not have such adornments. This puzzled me, but I believe I under-stand the sentiment.

In most Lutheran churches, you won’t hear much about angels. It’s not that Lutherans don’t believe in angels, but it says more about what we believe worship is. There are many places you can go that go on and on about God’s messengers (especially the spiritual kind) and who tie in extra-biblical ideas like everyone having a guardian angel, spiritual angels having human form, and people becoming angels when they get to heaven. We are not asked to worship angels, so the subject just does not come up frequently.

First, as we have said before, it’s not as though Lutherans are of one accord on the subject. You can ask any two Lutherans and get three answers. Lutherans are allowed freedom of belief about angels because there is still a ton of uncertainty about them, even as we stand by the biblical witness.

Second, the reason why all of this is not settled and why you likely won’t �nd o�cial Lutheran doctrine regarding angels is because they fall in the category of adiaphora. That’s one of my favorite words which just means “things that aren’t necessary.” In worship, we gather to serve, praise, give thanks to, and meet the triune God. While there’s room for angels in that concept and in the broader church, they aren’t central to our beliefs. You may hear them in our prayers or readings from time to time or you may hear me refer to one of you as one of God’s angels, but you will probably not hear an emphasis on angels anytime soon.

Regardless, know that Lutherans have to at least believe in some form of angels because we are each angels in our calling to tell the world of Jesus. Being messengers is incredibly important and a beautiful task (Isaiah 52:7).

Keep running upon the mountains with the good news, angels of God, Pastor DJ Dent

sessions and making up any missed sessions. Preferably, worship with your mentor and meet after or before the Wednesday evening Lent worship services.

4. Pray regularly for your mentor.

5. Participate to the best of your abilities.

6. Respect, learn from and maintain con�dentiality of your discussions with your mentor.

WHO CAN BE A MENTOR?Each con�rmand is free to choose any adult to be their faith mentor who is:

1. an active member of Christ Lutheran or other Christian congregation;

2. at least 18 years of age; or 16 and older whom have been trained

3. not their parent or relative;

4. someone they see as a good example of a Christian life style;

5. someone with whom they feel comfortable having “guided discussions” with; and

6. someone who consents to be their faith mentor.

7. someone who your youth can get to know that is a positive Christian role model

WHAT IS LENTEN FAITHMENTORING MINISTRY?

Faith mentoring is part of the con�rmation ministry at Christ Lutheran Church. It pairs individual youth with individual adults of the congregation and community in order to discuss faith and life issues and to experience the Lenten journey together. Young people are free to select an adult, with their consent, to be their Faith Mentor.

Faith Mentors do not take the place of parents, pastors, teachers or peers, but provide an additional connecting point to other Christian adults and the congregation. If you are an adult that would love to start an "Incarnational Relationship" and go on a magni�cent Lenten journey with one of our Con�rmation youth, please sign up on the board in the Narthex.

HOW DOES THE LENTEN FAITHMENTORING MINISTRY WORK

On Tuesday, February 17th, the Faith Mentors, young people and their parents will meet for an orientation. During Lent, each student will meet with their Faith Mentor for �ve 30-45 minute sessions (generally, but not necessarily, after or before the Wednesday Lenten services) to discuss the week’s theme and a certain aspect of faith and life issues. Discussion guides are provided to help facilitate this time together.

WHAT CHARACTERISTICSSHOULD A MENTOR HAVE?

Faith Mentors play an important role in the growth of a young person’s faith. Characteristics that are important for Faith Mentors to have include:

• Love God and kids

• Able to accept youth where they are and let them progress

at their own speed

• Accessible, open and willing to take the time to listen

• A caring, non-judgmental supportive attitude

• Mature and trustworthy

• Faithful in their own Christian life

Faith Mentors are special people in the lives of our young people. Theirs is the gift of trust and respect by a young person. They will receive as much as they give – it is an honor to partici-pate in another person’s growth in faith.

WHAT TRAINING DOES A MENTOR NEED?No special background or training is required for someone to be a Faith Mentor.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OFLENTEN FAITH MENTORING?

The purpose of Lenten faith mentoring is to:

1. Expand each young person’s circle of trusted adults in the congregation. In a Search Institute report, only 29% of youth felt that adults in the church cared for them.

2. Enable each young person to see and learn how another adult (besides their parents) lives out their Christian faith.

3. O�er each young person a personalized learning opportunity to make sense of their own Christian Faith. In the same Search Institute report, more than 60% of the youth surveyed said they wanted to know how to learn to love life more, recognize right from wrong, and gain a sense of life’s purpose.

4. Gain broader adult participation in the young person’s learning process.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND ROLEOF FAITH MENTORS

Thank you from CLC Scrip!Thank you to all who participated in the CLC Scrip gift card program during 2014! We earned almost $4000 from King Soopers shoppers, plus another $1000 from gift card sales. These funds have been used for CLC expenses which other-wise would have had to come from the budget.

Thanks for thinking of CLC Scrip when you shop!
