Church used to be filled with people who went to church because that's just what you do.
They brought their kids to Sunday School, they volunteered their time, they tithed. They
were proud to belong to something, and they felt empowered to publicly confess their faith
"even unto death." Suffering built character. Hard work was a given. Living outside of your
means was utter foolishness. To overgeneralize, the Greatest Generation truly lived up to
its name. For several cultural reasons that I don't have enough space to enumerate, I often wish I had been born in 1924 instead of 1984.
Likewise, through overgeneralization, it would be easy for me to trash-talk my own generation. I'm usually not
shy
in doing this, especially when I meet with people my own age. I can't even tell you how many friends and former classmates I have who spent their twenties doing the opposite of succeeding in life. Every job, rather than
a step in a career choice, is just another obstacle in the way of "following my dreams," whatever that means.
The New York Times recently published a story about the Peter Pan Effect on my generation, bemoaning the
fact that it takes
people longer and longer to "find themselves," and grow up already. But little by little, I'm actually changing my
tune. I am realizing that this thinking might work to the Church's advantage.
Despite the fact that the average credit card debt of an American household is almost $16,000
(cnnmoney.com), and that the average mother has her first child in her mid-to-late twenties, and that in fewer
than 25% of homes there is a stay-at-home-mom (pewresearch.com), I don't see all that much difference in
certain core values. Suffering and hard work still builds character—it just looks different. Living outside of your
means is still an incredible
embarrassment—but money-management programs like Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover are booming. People still feel like they need to "find themselves," but most no longer think they need to spend $100,000
on an unmarketable college degree to do it. And the unmarried thirty-somethings that I know, if they do not
have a plan, they at least have a to-do list.
Above all, I think us Millenials still want to stand for something; we just don't know what that something is yet.
My generation of sinners does not take the past for granted. We do not automatically accept our grandparents'
programs, and our Baby Boomer parents have sailed in the opposite direction. Spare me your "advice," Mom
and Dad. We question everything, not because we are recalcitrant or unwilling to learn, but because if we are
going to stand for something, it'd better darn well be worth standing for.
All that being said, the mission of the Church is the same, but now we have to work for it. Millenials need to
feel and understand that the Gospel has their best interests at heart. That means preaching and teaching of
the truth is sound and delivered with convincing and engaging clarity. That means the congregation actually
needs to be able to explain their faith (Oh veh!). That also means that the ministry efforts we instigate at the
congregational level are meeting the people where they are, not where we want them to be.
Ministry growth is still a goal, but the model for ministry growth has changed. Unlike a hundred years ago, we
cannot rest on our hands with a moderate amount of enthusiasm and expect the masses to flow through the
doors because that's just what they should do. Now we have to look at the big picture, determine the needs
and desires of the community, and offer the opportunities that they actually want. If we can welcome them
where they are and live the gospel in a convincing manner, the church (and the congregation) will survive to
see another generation.
There's a soft-spot, did you know? As Millenials age, they are increasingly traditional in their desires to protect
and nurture the one area of their life that is only
theirs. Want to know what it is?
My kids. Educate my kids, please.

Little Lambs of Jesus Preschool & Childcare Center
Hello from the Center,
I will try to sum up in a few paragraphs ALL that has been going on this past month at the Center.
Both preschool classes have gone to the Country Mill in Charlotte on field trips. They were taken on
a hay ride, picked apples and pumpkins, and ended their visit with cider and donuts. All seemed to
have a great time, how could you not? The preschoolers are busy everyday learning shapes, colors, numbers, Bible
stories, songs, and how to be a good friend to each other. Dana and Sharon work hard at trying to get the kids to understand what being a good friend really is all about and how Jesus wants us to treat one another.
The new "extended infant room" is open and awesome! The kids, staff and families are pleased with the way the room
looks and, also, the new things their " babies" are doing. New language skills, intro to art, music, continuing to develop
large and small motor skills, finger plays, songs, books and learning about Jesus pretty much sums up an average day.
Throw in snacks, lunch, naps, and a couple dozen dirty diapers and you get the full picture.
Ms. Katie's room is always hopping. The kids do such amazing things, everyday. They have celebrated several birthdays
recently, including Mr. Matt's, which means a party for the entire Center (which translates to special treats). Our back
hallway was recently transformed into a "spider web" and the kids had to use their skills to make it through without
becoming tangled. They had a blast! Jumping in the leaves, arts and crafts, writing skills, early literacy skills, play time,
Jesus time and working on how to be a good friend to others is a daily schedule for this group. Busy, fun, entertaining,
exciting....that's Ms. Katie's room, everyday!
Our infant room has taken on a little different look too. We have moved a few things around, added a few new babies,
and added some new toys. We love our babies and we love the role we play in nurturing them. It's a new challenge
everyday, no matter how prepared we think we are to handle them. They are truly gifts from God and we love them!
Even at this young age, we work on
being a good friend to each other. We
value the relationships we have developed with our families too!
Thanks again to everyone who has
donated to the center. Toys, books,
play clothes, plants, crafts, yard
stakes, etc. We are very blessed with
so many caring people. Thanks so
much!
Did you notice that I mentioned
"being a good friend" several times?
Well, that's intentional :) We believe
that relationships are important, no
matter how young the person. We
believe a simple greeting, a smile, a
hug, a compliment, sharing a toy,
snack, book, etc. can make anyone
happy. It might even be the start of a
friendship. We believe this saying is
most definitely true...."people don't
care how much you know, until they
know how much you care." We believe
it's just that simple. We KNOW that it
is because of our relationship with
Christ that all of this is possible. Try it,
you will be glad you did!
In Christ, Dana & Jenny

Roving Reporter
The Friendship League met on October 14 with a guest speaker who talked about the reopening of the Bohm Theatre.
It was very informative. Their next meeting will be on November 11; “Dining Out” at the American Legion Swiss Steak
Dinner. All are welcome! If you missed the ribbon cutting and the lighting of the marquee at the Bohm on October 16
and the viewing of the newly remodeled inside, you missed a great event for Albion. It is beautiful inside and out! Thanks
to all who worked so hard to restore “our” Bohm Theatre!
The Fall Festival was a huge success. The money raised will help provide food baskets to the needy at Christmas. A lot
of people helped by cooking, donating items to be sold, cashiering, dishing up food, helping to clean up and, of course,
buying.
Three people from St. Paul walked in the C.R.O.P. Hunger Walk on Sunday, October 19. About $150.00 was collected
by the 3 walkers. 25% of this money will go to Albion’s A.I.M. and the rest to help people in other countries become
more productive in growing their own crops to overcome poverty.
St. Paul’s 22nd annual German Dinner was well attended. Thanks to all who helped.
A Reformation Day service at St. Michaels in Portage on Sunday, October 26, had our own Pastor Matyas giving the
sermon and members of our occasional choir joining other choirs from Lutheran churches in singing. It was beautiful!
Sunday, November 16 will be Stewardship Sunday here at St. Paul. Bibles will be given to our 2nd graders and Bible
Exploration books to our 4th graders. A luncheon will follow the service at 11:00 in Luther Hall. Good food and good
fellowship! Plan to attend.
All Saints’ Day service will be on November 2 at 10:00 a.m. Come and honor all the Saints who have gone before.
Hanging of the Greens will be on November 26 following the Thanksgiving Eve service. We could use “YOUR” help!
Our new pre-lit garland will make the job easier.
Voters’ Assembly will be on November 10th at 7:00 p.m. in The Conference Room.
St. Paul’s annual free Thanksgiving Day Dinner will be on November 27. Needed are volunteers to help cook, serve

There will be no A.I.M. donations for November and December. Instead, will are collecting items for the Christmas
Food Baskets St. Paul will be doing for the needy. Bring the items on the list in this newsletter or the bulletin insert.
The St. Paul College Book Scholarship and the College Memorial Gift were awarded to David Seedorf and Tyler

Have a nice Thanksgiving and thank God every day for His many blessings.
