Greetings Disciples,

Where there is no vision,The people lose connection.-Proverbs 29:18

This passage from Proverbs was chosen as our passage for Rally Day by the ministry staff because we’ll be doing some connecting work this Fall and Win-ter that, we hope, will intensify and refocus the vision that God is placing on us here at Luther Memorial Church. As I think about where God is calling us at a church, some thoughts come to mind:

-We are to reach the seeking and lost with the good news of God seen here in Jesus who is called the Christ.

-We are to aid and love our neighbors as we love ourselves.

-We are to love God and be mindful our way in this world.

-And we are to do all of the above together. As a community. With one another.

It’s easier said than done, I’m afraid...and sometimes it’s not so easily said! This is one of the reasons we’re having cottage meetings all throughout the Fall: to hear one another discern together the path to the future that God is pulling us into.

So, I pray, that you’ll attend a cottage meeting. I pray that you’ll consider giv-ing to the mission of Luther with increased fervor, both of treasure and of time. I pray you’ll join us for adult education on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. I pray you’ll get quickly involved with One Stop Wednesdays where we will eat together, pray together, and do service together. I pray that you’ll make the investment to go 10% more with your time and your treasure this Fall at LMC.

In doing all of these things we’ll be well equipped to see the path ahead. But that only happens if we walk mindfully together. Mindful of spending time to-gether. Of spending time in worship. Of spending our resources to give of the abundance God has already given us. I look forward to spending more mindful time with you all this Fall and Winter. God is calling us to give up our lives for the world, and we can do it best together.

See you in church, bring your Bibles,

Pt… ◉

So, you know those scripture readings that we do on Sunday mornings? Ever wonder how those are chosen? Those texts are called a “lection,” are wide-ly spread throughout the Christian world as the accepted texts for reading in worship.

Historically Luther Memorial has followed what is called the Revised Common Lectionary. The Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) is the list of readings that many other churches (Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Methodist, Catholic, United Church of Christ, and American Baptist just to name a few) follow as a guide to their communal scripture reading. First published in 1992, this calendar of readings was based off of the 1983 Common Lectionary, which itself was based off of the Ordo Lectionem Missea of 1969, which was a post-Vatican II order-ing of the Scripture readings on Sunday morning. Historically it has always been an Old Testament reading, a Psalm, a New Testament reading, and a Gospel reading on a three year cycle (A-Matthew, B-Mark, and C-Luke...John is interspersed between all of them)

However, in an effort to provide a broader scope of the Biblical narrative for the assembly at LMC, we’re going to try something new. We’re going to adopt what is called “The Narrative Lectionary” at Luther Memorial for this September-August of 2014/2015. The Narrative Lectionary comes out of Luther Seminary, and is specifically geared toward providing just one reading on a Sunday morning that will lead from the Old Testament through the life of Jesus in the Gospels and then to the letters of Paul and other Apostles in the Epistles.

This arch will, we hope, provide more exposure to more stories within the scriptures, and offer a different way of hearing the texts (as only one will be read on a Sunday) than the traditional lectionary normally does. But, as with all experiments we’re going to be evaluating how it works practically and theo-logically, to see if it is something we want to practice more regularly. This is not a permanent change by any means, and the ministry staff is interested in your feedback as we go along!

If you’d like to view The Narrative Lectionary you can find a link to it on Luther Seminary’s “Working Preacher” website (www.workingpreacher.org). Finally, these readings encourage you to bring your Bibles with you to church. The more you physically are able to find your way through the Bible, the better you will be at using the Bible as a devotional tool and source of faithful inspiration!

So, bring your Bibles to church! Let’s do this journey together. ◉

News from the Pastoral Intern

My name is Chris Michaelis, and I’m the new Pastoral Intern here at Luther Memorial Church. It’s wonderful to finally be with you and I can’t wait to meet all of you. I just finished my second year at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago in the Hyde Park neighborhood, where my wife and I live. My wife, Tiffany, and I moved to Chicago 2 years ago from Ft. Worth, Texas. We’re both musical people and we love cooking, travel, and college football.

As a Pastoral Intern, I’ll be doing a little bit of everything, including being involved in education, worship, and pretty much anything else that happens here at Luther. The basic idea of the Internship program is to give Seminarians an understanding of what parish ministry is like. I’ll be working closely with Pastor Tim and all of you to try and discover what God might be calling us to here at LMC.

Academically, I’m highly interested in the intersection of the faith community and the public square. I’m not talking about the church in politics, but what perspective might the church offer to our collective civil discussion? Is there an opportunity for the church to add our voice to many other voices seeking justice and lasting, systemic change in the world we share? Theologically, I see a lot of commonalities between these questions and the idea of the Incar-nation—God made flesh in the person of Jesus. Jesus was the physical em-bodiment of God’s interaction with the world. What does it mean that God, in Jesus, walked among us, felt what we feel, saw what we see, lived as we live? What do we do with the understanding that while he lived, Jesus was most often found seeking and making justice, bringing hope to the hopeless, and shining light in the dark places? How can the church—how can Luther Memorial—take this radical Gospel message of love and grace out from this place into the world? These are questions that I hope we can ask together.

“Genesis” feels like a very appropriate theme for this edition of The Voice. For me specifically, as I write this, I’ve only just been at LMC for 3 days. Gene-sis, interpreted as “beginning,” exactly describes how I feel about my role and work here as Intern at this moment. As I think about the Internship experience as a whole, the entirety of the year stretches out in front of us. This is truly the beginning of a time of introduction, acclimating, conversing, learning, search-ing, asking, and doing, all of which we will do together, in community with each other. We are at the beginning of something truly exciting, and I can’t wait to be on this journey with you.

God’s Peace and Blessings,

Chris Michaelis ◉Vicar Chris Michaelis is the Pastoral Intern at LMC

For those of you who were able to join us for the Congregational meeting, you heard me give a brief update on where LMC’s finances are as we approach the final quarter of the year. We thought it might be helpful to expand on that up-date. When we met in January we discussed the wonderful energy and enthu-siasm for growth in our Community. We discussed some of the areas of need that we are identifying to provide the kind of support a growing community like ours demands, and the Council proposed a budget that we felt is a first step to fulfilling the needs of our growing community: enhanced ministry for chil-dren, youth, and families; expanded music; the beginnings of adult education; necessary deferred maintenance for the building that houses our community.

LMC Council developed that budget and issued a challenge: to begin down a path of growth requires growth in contributions. As we built a budget that would grow by 15% in 2014, we challenged the community to increase their giving by an equal amount. By passing our budget for 2014, the LMC commu-nity accepted the challenge.

Through the first seven months of the year, we have not yet risen to the challenge. Breaking even would require average income of $32,000 per month, but our current pace is $28,000 per month.I tell you this not to be dis-heartening, as I am not the least disheartened. Growing pains are a necessary part of growth, and I continue to view this as a challenge as we grow into the vision we are now laying out for ourselves.

Instead I tell you this as a reminder of the vision we laid out for our commu-nity, and the challenge we accepted. I tell you this in the hope that you will take some time to as we move into the latter part of the year to reflect on your giving. I tell you this because I know that together we can take push through the growing pains and meet the challenge before us.

If you are interested in a hassle free way to ensure you are fulfilling your financial commitment to the community, try Simply Giving. To get started you can contact Amy Karp at the church office on Mondays and Wednesdays ([email protected] or 773.539.3018) or go to luthermemorialchicago.org and click “Donate Now”.

You will be hearing more about the exciting opportunities at Luther Memorial from the Council and Stewardship team over the next several months through cottage meetings. I hope you are as excited about this opportunity to build a shared vision as I am. Please feel free to email me with questions and com-ments at [email protected].

Wednesday Night Small Group: Why Spiritual but Not Religious is Not EnoughOn Wednesday, September 17th you’re invited to come to LMC at 6pm for dinner and then to participate in a new small group at 7:30 that will be reading Why Spiritual but Not Religious is Not Enough by Lillian Daniel. This group will meet through September and October, discussing the humorous and inter-esting insights provided by Lillian Daniels. Here’s an overview:

The phrase “I’m spiritual but not religious” has become a cliché. It’s easy to find God amid the convenience of self-styled spirituality—but is it possible (and more worthwhile) to search for God through religion?

Minister and celebrated author Lillian Daniel gives a new spin on church with stories of what a life of faith can really be: weird, wondrous, and well worth try-ing. From a rock-and-roller sexton to a BB gun-toting grandma, a church ser-vice attended by animals to a group of unlikely theologians at Sing Sing, Daniel shows us a portrait of church that is flawed, fallible—and deeply faithful. With poignant reflections and sly wit, Daniel invites all of us to step out of ourselves, dare to become a community, and encounter a God greater than we could ever invent. Humorous and sincere, this is a book about people finding God in the most unexpected of places: prisons, airports, yoga classes, committee meet-ings, and, strangest of all, right there in church.

The book is available as an e-book or on Nook at Amazon.com or on hard copy at most book stores.

This group will meet in the Lounge (first floor) and is open to every and any-one. Led by Nicole VanderDoes, these Wednesday nights are an opportunity to grow deeper in faith and in community. Come for dinner, stay for discussion, enjoy the community that God provides for us to dig deeply in!

Weddings at Luther Memorial ChurchWho wouldn’t love having their wedding at Luther Memorial Church?!? It’s one of the most gorgeous sanctuaries in all of Chicago and is the perfect setting for those beginning steps as husband and wife. Hi I’m Mindi McCreless and I’m the wedding Coordinator here at LMC. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside lots of couples that are planning that big day. It’s so fun to see all of the different traditions and meaningful aspects of each particular ceremony. I feel very lucky to have worked with some great folks and look so forward to my future couples! Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions if Luther is of interest to you or someone you know. Email is [email protected].

I geek out over odd things. I suppose we all do. We all have those odd little things that excite us and we can’t get enough of. For me it’s Genesis chapters 1-11, the Gospel of Mark, Michael Bublé, and listening to cello music. But since the theme is Genesis, let me explain why Genesis chapters 1-11 fascinate me so much. I think it’s all there in the beginning.

“In the beginning, when God began to create, the earth was formless and void...”

Does that sound vaguely familiar and yet somewhat off? Of course most trans-lations read, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” They’d be technically accurate, but they’d miss the mark on meaning because that little sentence has grown to have a lot of baggage. It’s baggage that hinders us from entering into the poetry of one of greatest works of literature ever compiled. It’s baggage that can make it hard for me to drawn near to God. It’s frustrating bag-gage.

Most of us ignore it, try to historicize it away, accept it as some sort of literal truth. All those things miss the mark on meaning. You see, in the Hebrew, the text really doesn’t say that the earth popped into existence out of nothing. There’s not a sense of creation out of nothing. And this creation business has nothing to do with modern science in the slightest because they didn’t have modern science. Rather, this poem/story is there to give a sense of God’s character in describing how God goes about the creative task. When this story/poem was taking root, the common thought of the day was that the earth and all things including people were formed as a result of a bloody battle between gods. Out of the caracas of a god was the earth formed. Not so with our God.

Violence is not lauded in our story. Our God is more powerful than that. Our God only needs to speak. Those lights in the sky you think are gods are merely lights made by our God. So, it’s not all roses and sunshine this poem. There’s a political bent to it. There’s a strong claim of God as above all other gods. But there’s beauty in that strength as well because of our claim as people of the Book and followers of Jesus, God incarnate.

And here’s the beautiful part. The God who is powerful enough that he doesn’t do violence to create is willing to suffer violence and death to be so near to us that we are never apart.

It’s not pretty. But it is beautiful. And I geek out for it. ◉

The outpouring of love, support and prayer from this community that my family and I have received in the wake of my mother’s (Peggy Myers) passing has been overwhelming to say the least. I want to personally thank you all for being there for me and for us.

For this issue we were asked to reflect on “genesis” as a theme for our writing. I feel in a lot of ways that I have been living at the genesis of a new phase of life; a life lived without my mother here with me on earth. Because of this, my writing for this issue will be excerpts of the eulogy that my sister and I gave at her funeral.

For those that hadn’t met my mom, I would introduce her into their world as a 5’1” firecracker. “Sure my mom looks sweet, but don’t get her riled up, she’s fierce enough to talk down a charging moose”. Oh and I’m sorry, 5’1 and a half inches. She was always sure to remind people about that half-inch.

Some of my favorite stories to tell about mom are those few times in her life that she uttered a curse. I remember at Erin’s (my sister) college graduation party, there were about 20 of us, her friends and mine, playing four square in the driveway. It was the most intense game of four square ever played. We were out there for hours and the competition got more and more intense.

In typical Peg Myers fashion, if there is fun to be had, she wants in. So, she jumped in line and watched and strategized and plotted her moves. Then, it was her turn. I must admit, she did pretty well; she was always very able bodied and athletic so it wasn’t really a surprise. But then it happened...she was in an intense game and it was going back and forth, everyone playing well. The ball bounced into her square, she swatted for it and just missed it...and then she said it. Tiny lil Peg had cussed! It was like a record scratched. Everyone went silent for a split second as all stood in bewilderment what she had said. Mom was famous for never cussing and using words like “sugar” as substitutes so it was awesome and hilarious all at the same time to hear her cuss.

Another time she got so angry with Erin and me that she screamed, “I’m tired of this crap!” Shortly thereafter, she composed herself, and politely apolo-gized for saying such a word. (continued next page)

There are plenty of traits that I possess that remind me of my mom. This one seems to stick out more than others sometimes. I cry at movies. A lot. Like, way more than I want to admit. I don’t even cry at parts you’re supposed to cry at, I just cry sometimes. Depending on who I’m with I’ll look around all sheepishly, or pretend I have to blow my nose or cough real loud. And this is all a tribute to her. I don’t hate it at all, and every time it happens I think of my mom. Mom was notorious for crying during movies.

I’ll never forget the summer we got a new refrigerator and she gave us the box to play in. Before you knew it, we had about 15 refrigerator boxes in our back yard that neighbors, Erin and I made into a fort. What an awesome idea that was! Who, in their right mind, goes to an appliance store and asks for old refrigerator boxes? Peg Myers, that’s who.

All of this to say, we love you mom. We love you so much. Thank you for always loving us and showing us how to love others. Thank you for always being there for us and keeping our best interests in mind. Thank you for being a great example, encourager, motivator, disciplinarian, teacher, guide, wife to our dad, grandma to my nieces and mother to Erin and me. ◉

WELCA News

Women of the ELCA Ninth Triennial Gathering

Six generations of women from across the United States and the world gath-ered in Charlotte, NC in July. The Bible verse from Isaiah 58: 12 gave us a lot to think and talk about. Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in. Just one verse gave the 2,300 women gathered in Charlotte a lot to talk about.

The speakers were amazing. We laughed until we cried and then we heard stories of repair that have happened in Nashville, TN that moved us to tears. In the evenings there were movies that dealt with human trafficking (I Believe You), immigration issues (Harvest of Empire), and how the media represents women (Miss Representation”).

Diane Schulte, Christine Shaw, and I were in Charlotte. We participated in the 5K Run, Walk and Roll to support the Raising up Healthy Women and Girls program of WELCA, we went to workshops, quilted, counted gift cards, shopped, and made new friends. All of this in addition to being part of open-ing and closing worship services where we sang and communed with all the saints.

If you would like to hear more, feel free to ask Diane, Christine, or me. I can tell you about the fire alarm and evacuation from the Holiday Inn at 4 am. Lutheran women don’t leave the hotel without their purses! This was my third Triennial and I’m always glad to have been part of such a moving experience. See you in Minneapolis in 2017?

When I think of Genesis I think of a beginning and I have always had a fondness fordiscovering and remembering my roots. WELCA is no different. It is important to know where we came from in order to make a plan for where we are going. When the ELCA formed in 1988 three distinct Lutheran bodies can together. These churches also contained women’s groups. In an effort to communicate with each other and unite in a common mission they formed WELCA, the women of the ELCA. The mission of WELCA reads: “As a community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we com-mit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage in ministry and action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, the society and the world.”

Each individual church is in charge of their own manifestation of WELCA. At Lu-ther Memorial we have small groups that meet on a regular basis, service projects that are organized by women, annual retreats, and so much more.

Genesis also brings to mind growth and change which is exactly what is happening with WELCA at Luther Memorial. Over the years our small groups and service projects have grown and changed to suit the needs of the women at LMC. This fall we will be introducing a slight twist on our usual format by designating one evening as Women’s Ministry Night (WMN). Beginning on Monday, October 6th we will start a weekly gathering at 7pm with the purpose of deepening our sense our com-munity and connection with the women of our church. Light refreshments and snacks will be provided. At 7:30pm the small group designated to meet that week will break off for bible study, knitting, service, or spirituality. Throughout the year we hope to have special events as well such as a film showing or speaker.

To learn more about our growth and new program ideas, join us on Tuesday, September 30th in the chapel. A full program will be available and group leaders will be available to share more about the small groups they lead.

May the peace of the Lord be with you this fall. ◉
