Dear partners in ministry,
Last week I attended a clergy workshop on
stewardship. While much of the discussion focused
on finances, all agreed that stewardship is not just
about money. Stewardship is about taking care of
ourselves physically, spiritually, emotionally, and
mentally. If we don’t take care of ME first, we can’t
serve others the way we would like to.

Stewardship also is about sharing the gifts God
gave us. Every child of God, no matter how young
or old, has gifts to share with the whole Church.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for
being such a generous congregation. In most
churches I’ve served I have had to be a cheerleader
for the synod and for the ELCA. I’ve had to
encourage church councils to support an increase
in benevolence. I often have been embarrassed at
synod assemblies when I see the giving of all the
congregations and mine could not begin to
compare.
Children’s Corner ‒ by Pastor Judy
November is the month of Thanksgiving. Of course
we should be thankful all year round, but when the
holidays come it seems especially a good time to
thank the people in our lives who have been kind
to us. And we should remember to thank God for
bringing those people into our lives! With the use
of so many electronic gadgets today, it is hard to
find anyone who writes notes. I think someone in
your life might be waiting to hear from you. Why
not write a thank you note to someone you like
during the month of November? And don’t forget
to pray for that person, too!
Thank you for your generosity not only to Central
Lutheran Church, but to the synod, the ELCA, and
to local social agencies. I thank you not only for
your financial contributions, but to the faithful
volunteers who give up hours of their time to help
those in need. In the near future we will celebrate
the women of the ELCA with a special Thank
Offering worship service. It is my hope that we
soon we will have a men’s group started at Central,
too.
Your big sister in Christ’s love,

Midweek Worship
– Sandy Mjolsnes, Synodically Authorized Minister
Join us Thursday
evenings through
November 20 at
7 pm. We’ll
share Holden
Evening Prayer
on 1st, 3rd, and
5th Thursdays,
and Holden Prayer
Around the Cross on
2nd and 4th
Thursdays. Both
include Holy Communion and a short homily based
on the lessons from the previous Sunday.
Holden Prayer Around the Cross is a meaningful
devotional prayer service that was originally
developed at Holden Village. Co-authored by
Susan Briehl and Tom Witt, the service include
scripture readings, prayers, silence, and an
opportunity to sit or kneel near a large cross, light
a candle and pray. It includes a rich variety of
musical styles to provide a backdrop for this
contemplative worship experience. Because these
services take place in near darkness, this music is
simple and easily learned.
If you are interested in being a reader for Midweek
Worship, let me know (sandy.sam@gci.net, 3381882). If you would like to attend Midweek
Worship and do not drive or are concerned about
driving in the winter, let me know and I will do my

on Wednesday evenings, sharing Holden Evening
Prayer at 7 pm following our traditional soup
suppers at 5:30 pm. All ages are invited to dine,
study, and worship, on Wednesdays, December 3,
10, and 17.
Holden Evening Prayer was composed by Marty
Haugen, a prolific liturgical composer, while he was
on sabbatical in Holden Village, a Lutheran retreat
center in Washington State, during the winter of
1986. It’s a lovely setting of vespers following the
traditional form while using contemporary and
inclusive language. Many, many thanks to our
musicians Debbie Pankow and Holly (Emmel)
Cannon.
LSSA Christmas Stockings: Central women will
be making Christmas stockings for the children of
LSSA clients again this year. We will have a

and toys, pencils, crayons, candy, small books

Call Committee
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Each meeting will include a short devotion. The following are
the Bible texts we will be using: Matthew 28:16-20, Matthew 9:9-13, Luke 5:1-11, John 1:35-46, John 12:2026, Romans 12:1-8, 1 Corinthians 3:1-9, Ephesians 6:10-18, Philippians 2:1-11, Colossians 3:1-17, 1 Timothy 2,
and 1 Timothy 4:6-16.
The call process is a very open process. We will be sharing as much information as we can. Information about
possible candidates must remain confidential. If there any questions, please feel free to ask any one of us. If
we don't have the answer, we will try and find someone who does. We are looking forward to the Spirit not
only moving through the Call Committee but through the Congregation as we move forward with calling a
Pastor.

to single individuals. Covenant House has pointed out

PRAYER SHAWLS ~ Do you know what they are or
to whom we give them? Prayer shawls are knitted
shawls or blankets, made by volunteers, with prayers
spoken for the future recipient during the creation of
the shawl. The completed shawls are given to anyone
who may need comfort or a show of love. A letter is
given with each Prayer Shawl which explains it. Some
lines from the letter are ... " Wrap it around you when
you're sad, happy, needing comfort, cold, ill, worried,
troubled, at peace, needing answers, have no
questions, praying." .... " As you wear this shawl, may
you be cradled in hope, kept in joy, graced with peace,
and wrapped in love." If you know someone who
might want or need the gift of a Prayer Shawl, stop by
the office and pick one up. There is no charge, but
donations to the ministry are appreciated. Do you
knit? We would love to have you join our ministry.
