Where have you seen the light? One night on a Judean hillside, shepherds keeping watch over their sheep witnessed a bright star on a holy
night. An angel of the Lord spoke to them and the glory of the Lord
shone around them. The first Christmas was a holy night for them. It
changed their lives forever. They beheld the Christ child in Bethlehem.
"There were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. Then an
angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they
were terrified. But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid; for see--I am bringing you
good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped
in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.' " Luke 2:8-12
Hopefully all of us have experienced a holy night, a moment when time stands still and
heaven and earth feel like they are one. Many of my holy nights have come as both a scout
and leader at Boy Scout camps. As darkness falls each evening the campfire is lit. There is
something powerful and hypnotic about a campfire. The ability of those flames to break the
surrounding darkness, to provide warmth as the cold night begins, to keep the creatures that
haunt the forest (real and imagined) at bay. Somehow the fire has the ability to close our
mouths and lift our thoughts and spirits. For me, the flames naturally become prayer petitions lifted to God.
There amid the pine trees, around the camp fire, those nights becomes a holy nights. The
camp fire burns slowly with ascending flames inspiring and lifting the hopes and prayers of
all present. As the camp fire grows brighter we realize we are on holy ground. We see the
presence of Jesus Christ in one another.
The experience of the God’s presence in flames is not limited to camping adventures but
happens every time our congregational family gathers for worship. The flames of the candles remind us of the birth of the Christ Child at Christmas, the journey of the Magi following the star, the open and empty tomb at Easter and the Holy Spirit poured out on the church
at Pentecost. The flames are present as we emerge from the baptismal waters and reach
heavenward at every funeral to remind us of God’s promises to us.
As we begin this New Year with the Lord, may you have a year filled with “holy” experiences as you humbly seek God and the light of God’s presence.

“Baby Shower for Jesus”
On Sunday, January 4th at all services, we will be having our
annual “Baby Shower for Jesus”. Epiphany was the time the
wise men brought gifts to honor the birth of Jesus. To join in
this celebration, we are encouraging you to bring gifts for
newborn babies to benefit those who are in need. We are
collecting new baby items which will be donated to O.U.R.
Home and Choosing Life Pregnancy Center, both organizations who serve Mercer County. Donations do not need to be
wrapped.
O.U.R. Home is a non-profit organization located at 117 West Fayette Street in Celina. It is a community resource center that provides a central entry point for Mercer
County residents for assistance during times of need. They operate a food bank, a
“Clothes Closet”, emergency family assistance, respite care and referrals to many other community organizations.
Choosing Life Pregnancy Center is a non-profit organization located in Celina.
They provide pregnancy counseling, parenting classes, adoption services and a boutique where people can “spend” their points from attending classes to purchase items.
Suggestions for donations would be diapers (any size), baby food, baby formula, baby
wipes, new clothing, etc.
Bring your best to honor our King!

“Lord, as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game,
help us be mindful of those without a bowl of soup to eat.”
This is the prayer that inspired a group of senior high youth
in Columbia, South Carolina in 1990 to create a fun way to
reach out to those in need on Super Bowl weekend. They
invited youth at 21 area churches to collect donations in soup
pots. We at St. John joined that annual event and will have a
free-will offering at our 3 church services on Super Bowl
Sunday, February 1st, 2015. The money collected will be
given to our local CALL Food Pantry. Our goal this year is
to give $400 or more to CALL. Will you help?
Let's SHARE THE LOVE!

2015 Ministry Opportunities & Serving Commitment
As part of our discipleship process at St. John, we ask members
yearly for a re-commitment of their support of our ministries through
the use of their God-given gifts in service.
Every year we publish a Ministry Information Catalog and a Serving
Commitment form so you can designate where you would like to
serve in the coming year based upon your gifts, passions, and availability. Please return these in the offering plate or to the church office as soon as possible so you can be included in upcoming schedules. Even if you would
like to continue to serve in an area, we ask that you fill this out annually so we can keep our
information accurate. Extras are available at the Welcome Center.
TEN for TEN Challenge!
Have you ever considered increasing your giving to a
full tithe (10%) of your income but have been unsure
how to make that change?
In the next few weeks, members will be receiving an
invitation to participate in a 10-week tithing challenge.
As disciples of Christ, we are expected to have God be
first in our lives. Many of us feel that we do that on a
daily basis, but it is easy to not count our finances in
this equation. What would it take for you to tithe for 10
weeks? What would you have to sacrifice out of your
current situation to give God the "first fruits" of your labor?
More information coming soon...
Did you get some NEW SHOES for Christmas??
If so, don’t throw out your old ones!
Coming this spring – St. John will be participating again in the
“Shoes4Water” program in which we donate our old shoes (even
mismatches!) to a group who sells the shoes and uses the profits to
build wells for the people of third-world countries.
More details coming soon but start bagging up those old shoes now!

Co-chair Mission in Action
It SEAMS you can teach old SEWERS and
KNOTTERS new tricks.
At our December work day, Sewing Circle
started a new tradition. A Pizza/Dessert Party
for our Christmas lunch instead of a carry-in.
The star of the lunch was Martin Fahncke, a
St. John Builders friend, who brought TWO
women with him. His daughters! It was a
pleasure to visit with them and have Pastor
Sharon give the blessing.
St. John is a generous contributor to the
CALL Food and Clothing Pantry. It is often asked “What should I give?” or “What
is needed?” In response, we are doing an
“Item of the Month” donation. Although
any item is greatly appreciated, the “Item
of the Month” reflects those items that are
not discounted. This is one great way that
St. John is Making the Love of Christ
Known.
ITEM OF THE MONTH FOR
FOOD PANTRY – TOILET PAPER
NEEDED FOR CLOTHING PANTRY –
BOYS & GIRLS WINTER CLOTHES
AND MEN'S JEANS
Another festive activity - tying bountiful bows
on 16 comforters for the residents of the Mercer County home. Charity Circle members
always give Christmas gifts to them. This
year, each Wish List included a bed cover.
The Sewing Circle ladies were pleased to help
Santa with that.
We wish a Blessed Christmas to all. And,
Bless your New Year. Come join us in the
Sewing Room the 2nd Tuesday of the month.
See you in January!

We have many books written by Gilbert Morris. The Series of Appalachia is a series of 3 books

Over the Misty Mountains – A tragic loss forces Josh Spencer to leave his home in Virginia
and seek the frontier as an escape from his pain and bitterness of heart.
Beyond the Quiet Hills – The Tennessee frontier has brought together Hawk and Elizabeth
Spencer in the hardest of times. They struggle to survive and raise their family at the
Watanga settlement.
Among the Kings Soldiers – Jacob Spencer becomes embroiled in a struggle that finally
forces him to decide his loyalty between the British and the Patriots, and between two
women who have touched his heart.
BOOK CLUB
The book for discussion February 17th at 1:30 will be Steal Away by
Linda Hall. It is a novel of suspense. Books will be available January

Santa's Helpers
And so, as Tiny Tim said, "A Merry Christmas to us all; God bless us, every one!" Thank you,
every one who contributed to Santa's Helpers. Your generosity touched forty-five families and
individuals with a bit of Christmas Cheer and Christ's Love. That's our congregational purpose
and our blessing. Thank you so much!
Dola Smith
Thanks to all my family and friends at St. John. The visits from Pastor Jeff and all my friends
were so welcome. Also all the flowers & cards & prayers were a blessing. I can't thank you all
enough. The Lord has certainly blessed our church with loving & caring members. God bless
you one and all.
Mark Leininger
Thank you for all the cards, visits, and prayers since my recent accident. I appreciate all your
kindness and I am blessed here at St. John Lutheran.
Social Concerns
Thank You to all who donated gift cards for the Wernle residents this Christmas. Many of these
young men and women have never had a Christmas gift. We are sure that everyone at St. John
who supported this effort made a significant difference in the lives of these young people.
Thanks again. Pat Maury & Lorna Saddler
