LUTHERAN CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD

THE VOICE D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 4

1530 Foulk Road Wilmington, DE 19803 (302) 478-3030

“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior.:

Mary (while pregnant), Luke 1:46

Dear Friends in Christ,

It seems like not long after the Halloween costumes were put away in our house, the list-making began.

This was not my doing, but seems to be a reflection of our cultural desire to usher in the Christmas season

earlier and earlier each year. So, my daughters, with great delight, put their heads together and began

making their Christmas lists.

This seems to be a time of year for lists. The grocery list, the gift list, the address list for mailing cards,

not to mention the endless to-do list for home, school and work. And of course, there is what is for many

children the most important lists of all: the naughty and nice lists. We make lists, get to work and then

cross them off, somehow hoping that towards the end of the month we will finally cross off each and

every item.

What would this Advent and Christmas season be like if we spent some time making another list, a grown

-up Christmas wish-list? I imagine that list would be pretty long. An end to war. A cure for cancer. So-

cial structures that allow food and resources to reach those who are hungry. Hope for those with addic-

tion. An end to the gun violence on the streets of Wilmington and elsewhere. I could fill the rest of this

newsletter with things that the world needs, things we wait for, changes we hope to come. When creating

or reading such a list, despair is never very far off. When we are asked to turn away from the feel-good

lists we so love to make and complete, and make these more difficult lists, we feel small and helpless. It

may seem there is nothing we could possibly add to our own to-do lists that could ever help these big-

world problems.

Advent is a time when we think about another list, a list that Mary made when she was pregnant, waiting

for that miraculous child to grow and be born into this messy, broken life. She made a list of all the great

things God has done: kept promises made to Abraham and Sarah throughout all generations, scattered the

proud, cast down the mighty, filled the hungry with good things, lifted up the lowly. This is God’s to-do

list, one where the items are never crossed off for good, because God keeps doing these things. God still

keeps promises. God still fills the hungry and lifts up those who are bowed down. God still finds paths

through the wilderness.

How? Through you and me. By the power of the Holy Spirit, you and I are invited to move from our

despair and complacency, into action. We move from watching and waiting to being, to living as the

hands and feet of God in the world. Christmas, that joy we wait for, is about the divine becoming flesh

and blood, through a child born 2000 years ago, but also through us. It is our celebration of God breaking

through our fear and despair and putting us to work, together, to do those things in our everyday lives.

Continued on next page

P A G E 2

L U T H E R A N C H U R C H O F T H E G O O D S H E P H E R D

So, at my house this year, as we make those Christmas wish lists, we will make another list as a family. We will list

some of the needs of the world, and then we will list how we, in ways that may seem small, can help. We will offer our

hands and feet to God’s service.

May you find blessing in all the tasks before you, big or small, and may your hands and feet bear Christ in this world.

Peace and joy,

Pastor Kathy

FROM THE PASTOR”S DESK (Continued)

Borderlands of the Bible: Books that Didn't Make the Cut Tuesday, December 2 and 9, 2:00 p.m., in the parlor

What are the Gnostic gospels? What are the Apocrypha? And how come some of these books were

excluded from the Christian canon from the beginning, and others got cut out of Protestant Bibles

over a thousand years later? Join Vicar Anna as we continue to explore some of these writings and

talk about why they either never made the cut, or -- in the case of the Apocrypha -- got cut out of the

Protestant canon in the 16th and 17th centuries. We started with the nearer borderlands, the Apocry-

pha (which are still recognized by Catholic and Orthodox Christians as part of the biblical canon),

and in early December we’re pioneering forth into the wild lands of the Gnostics.

Please note we have a time change for the rest of our study of the Apocrypha and the Gnostics -- we

will be meeting at 2:00 p.m. on December 2 and December 9.

FROM THE VICAR’S DESK

“God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.” -- St. Augustine, City of God

When I was a child, the first question we excitedly asked one another when we got back to school after Christ-

mas break was, "What did you get for Christmas?" These past several years, with children of my own, the ques-

tion I've asked and answered from other relatives as we coordinate for the holidays is, "What are you giving the

kids for Christmas?"

This is the time of year when we are probably most aware of giving and getting; or, due to changes in job or fam-

ily situations, of perhaps not being able to give or get as we would like. Advertisements surround us with images

of people giving and receiving perfect presents that perfectly enhance their (perfect!) relationships with one an-

other. As I've gotten older I'm less interested in what's inside boxes. What I really want for Christmas is that

set-apart time with family and friends.

To be honest with you, I am a little worried about this Christmas. Several of my family members who have been

gathered around our Christmas tree for the last couple of decades will not be able to come to our house this

year. This Christmas, I will not be getting my favorite gift of having everyone in my family with me. It just

won't be the same. My head and heart are so full of memories of previous Christmases, that I am not quite

ready to receive the fresh good gifts of Christmas 2014.

Have you ever noticed that sometimes the gifts we are given aren't necessarily something we would have picked

out for ourselves? Certainly God's gift to the cosmos of Jesus Christ defied people's expectations of what a

proper messiah or savior would be like, or even what it means to be saved! Most people expected the messiah to

look like a conquering king, not a suffering servant. And if we go by the Gospel accounts, apparently no one ex-

pected the huge surprise gift of resurrection.

Augustine reminds me that getting a gift from someone else is not the same as shopping for myself. When it

comes to the good things God wants to give me, I am not the shopper, but the receiver of God's gift. And it's

the giver who chooses the gifts!

Augustine also reminds me that God's gifts are also good, if I can just put down my bags and lists long enough to

open my hands, mind and heart to receive what God wants to give me. I'm going to keep this quote from

Augustine in view for these next several weeks, to help me wait for this Christmas with hopeful expectation that

God will once again surprise me with new grace and goodness.

What are you excited about giving, this Christmas? What are you hoping to get, this Christmas? And how will

you open your hands, mind and heart to receive God's good gifts?

Peace+

Can Opener and Pop-Top Canned Food "Flash Drive" for LCS

You've heard of flash sales, flash mobs, flash drives … here's how our can opener and pop-top can "flash drive" went! Lutheran Community Services (LCS), the major food bank in this area, collects donations of can openers and pop-top cans because several clients live in temporary housing without access to kitchen tools. We asked -- you so generously responded! Good Shepherd is donating 17 can openers

and 66 cans of healthy foods with pop-tops. Thank you so much for these items which

will be of great help to people without access to kitchens.

GIFT: Growing in Faith Together

Spring 2015

Beginning in January, you are invited to experience GIFT, an intentional process of faith formation for those new to this community and for those who have been here for many years. Growing In Faith Together is an invitation to ex-plore questions of faith and make connections between scripture and daily life. If you are seeking a deeper encounter with God and with others in this faith community, GIFT is for you. Those who wish to participate will be paired up with a partner, a companion on this journey of faith. Small groups of 8-9 people will gather on various Sunday and Wednesday evenings (please see schedule below) for a meal, a brief guided devotion and then an hour of group con-versation on the Bible passage for the day. This is NOT a typical Bible study! The only knowledge and experience re-quired is an open heart. Through mutual conversation and sharing of stories, we will experience the signs and won-ders of God coming to us through the words of scripture.

In addition, there will be a series of rites that we will celebrate together in worship as this process unfolds. The climax of the process will be the Easter Vigil on April 4, 2015, with a baptismal celebration for all who participate.

If you would like more information or would like to participate, please contact Pastor Kathy.

A sign up sheet is posted on the bulletin board.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR HOLIDAY GIVING

With Joy and Thanksgiving! There are many opportunities to give at this time of the year. Below are the ways you are invited to participate through Good

Shepherd. THANK YOU for your consideration of these wonderful ministries.

Good Gifts

ELCA Good Gifts are a creative, meaningful way to support the ministries of the ELCA that mean the most to you and your

loved ones. The items in the catalog lift up examples of work being done in different projects and programs supported by

funds from the ELCA. Each of these programs is a long-term, partnership-based ministry that focus on the needs identified by

local congregations and global companion churches and their communities.

The animals of God’s Global Barnyard are among some of the most popular gifts available through ELCA Good Gifts. Your

gifts support the sustainable development ministries of ELCA World Hunger, which include training, education and resources

to help communities around the world care for animals and create new market opportunities selling eggs, meat or dairy prod-

ucts. If you would like to purchase an animal or other item from the ELCA Good Gifts catalog, in honor or memory of a

loved one, please visit the table in the narthex, pick up an ELCA Good Gifts envelope and return it with your gift by Decem-

ber 21st. All gifts received will be listed in the worship bulletin at Good Shepherd on Christmas Eve.

Christmas Gifts for Hilltop

Hilltop Lutheran Neighborhood Center provides educational and social development programs for children and teens in the

Wilmington community. You are invited to sign up on the bulletin board in the foyer to PURCHASE a new toy and/or cloth-

ing for a child at the Hilltop Lutheran Neighborhood Center. Gift wishes and clothing sizes are indicated. Please purchase

and wrap gifts and mark them with the child’s name, and return to the ramp at Good Shepherd by Sunday, December 21st.

The Promise Tree

Family Promise of Northern New Castle County is a non-profit organization that helps families experiencing homelessness

move toward lasting independence. We provide a safe place to eat and sleep, intensive case management, life skills training,

support, and encouragement. Good Shepherd is part of a network of congregations that hosts these families directly in their

houses of worship, staffed by caring volunteers who have put their faith into action.

The Promise Tree in our foyer offers you an opportunity to support Family Promise. Select one of the donation tags which

range from $10 to $100. Put it and your CHECK (made out to Good Shepherd) or CASH donation in the available envelope

with your name/envelope # on the front. These can be placed in the offering plate or dropped off in the church office through

December 21st. Your continued generosity is greatly appreciated!

The Mitten Tree

The Mitten Tree is up in the Narthex. Please either knit or buy mittens and hang them on the tree. The tree will be up until

Christmas. Mittens will then be taken to Hilltop and Hanover Presbyterian Church.

Stir up our hearts,

Lord God, and come!

LCS AND FAMILY PROMISE

LCS Works to Help Vets

LCS recently received a grant from Home Depot that is to be used to help veterans with home re-

pairs. Our first job is to build steps for a disabled veteran. The work will be done by two of our

home repair specialists working under our Home Oriented Repairs for the Elderly (HOME) pro-

gram. The Home Depot grant is for materials only, so we partnered with several other agencies

that donated labor costs: Paralyzed Veterans of America, Thrivent Financial, and Vitas Home

Health Care. Plus the Town of Elsmere waived the building permit and license fees. What a part-

nership! Contact Sandy Betley at 654 8886 x108 for more information about the program.

New Report Says Only the Rich Are Thriving

A comprehensive report by the Federal Reserve finds that most American’s incomes have fallen

since 2007, and the recovery hasn’t brought them back up. The only Americans who have recov-

ered are wealthy ones. In 1989, the richest 3 percent of the population controlled 45% of the na-

tion’s wealth. By the end of 2013, that number had grown to over 54%. By contrast, the majority

of American families cannot even handle an unexpected expense of $400, and would have to sell

something, borrow or not pay, according to the report. What’s more, the median net worth of the

bottom 20% of US households was only $6,400. Statistics like these demonstrate why many Dela-

wareans need LCS’s help.

LCS Needs Your Votes for Walmart Holiday Campaign

LCS has been named as a finalist in Walmart’s “Food Pantry Holiday Makeover” Campaign! A

total of 150 food pantries from across the country will compete for a share of $1.5 million. The

purpose of the campaign is to provide founding for infrastructure or equipment improvements to

make it easier for agencies like LCS to help hungry families. The 75 pantries with the most votes

at the end of the voting period (Dec. 2 through Dec. 12) will receive a $20,000 grant. The voting

site is www.walmart.com/holidaymakeover. This is a great opportunity for LCS, but we need your

votes! You can vote every 24 hours using your Facebook account, and you can steer people to vote

anytime! Links to vote will also be available on our website (www.lcsde.org) and Facebook page

(www.facebook.com/lcsde).

Noisy Offerings – Sparing Change for Change

What’s a Noisy Offering? Save your spare change in a small non-breakable container or a Noisy Offering

can (see Vicar Anna if you would like one!), and twice a month, we’ll collect it during worship services to

benefit local and global organizations. We encourage everyone to participate, but this is an especially fun

way for children to participate in offerings and even choose where the donations go, giving families a regular

opportunity to talk about how we share what God has given us.

At Noisy Offering time, we’ll shake our change up to make a lot of noise, and pour the change into the BIG

NOISY offering containers. Watch running totals of the offerings grow, as we see how small change adds up

to big bucks to help others in Wilmington and all over the world!

We alternate Noisy Offering containers for:

Family Promise -- Family Promise helps kids, moms and dads who don’t have homes, to stay to-

gether while they find new homes. Total collected as of November 9: $109.52

Lutheran Community Services (LCS) -- LCS feeds a lot of hungry people here in Wilmington!

Half of the people they feed are children. Total collected as of November 9: $41.86

Global Barnyard -- Chicks, sheep, honey bees, goats, pigs, cows -- God’s Global Barnyard gives

farm animals to families in need all around the world. Total collected as of November 9: $80.40

ELCA Malaria Campaign -- This gives people nets and other supplies they need to protect them-

selves from the disease of malaria, which strikes many babies and children. Total collected as of No-

vember 9: $48.77

Noisy Offerings in December:

Sunday, December 7 (collecting for Family Promise and Malaria

Campaign)

Sunday, December 21 (collecting for LCS and Global Barnyard).

Noisy Offerings in January:

Sunday, January 4 (collecting for Family Promise and Malaria Cam-

paign)

Sunday, January 18 (collecting for LCS and Global Barnyard).
