Key Points of Faith for Our Daily Living (#3): Holy Communion

There is nothing like a big family meal with extended relatives, friends, and even a neighbor or two. Such a meal means more than simply nutrition—it is about reaffirming relationships and feeding the spirit as much as the body. Growing up, I experienced these kind of meals usually at a family reunion at my Grandparent’s home and it seemed like during this time we moved from one meal to the next with games, naps and lots of conversation in between. Laughter and sometimes tears accompanied such meals for there was a definite energy in the room that felt more like a holy commotion than a holy communion.

As the early Jews celebrated the festival of Passover they too gathered in large, extended families eating many meals together, and in the evening of Passover itself, taking up the remembrance of their ancestors’ flight from Egypt. Like an early version of dinner theater, everyone participated in a series of remembrances that traced the oppressive slavery of the Hebrew people in Egypt, the call of Moses, the plagues, and God’s redemption. Parts of the meal were marked with a cup of wine and sometimes the eating of certain foods such as the bitter herbs of enslavement, or the unleavened bread commemorating the hasty flight from Egypt (as well as other specialties). This Passover meal signified a great moment that was understood to be both a remembrance of the past as well as a blessing of a promised future with God.

It was such a meal that Jesus shared with his disciples the evening before he was about to be crucified. His disciples did not know this, but Jesus knew it was his last Passover meal—his last supper with them. Accordingly, Jesus transformed the meal into a Holy Communion with his followers declaring that the unleavened bread was his body (“take and eat, this is my body”) and the wine his blood (“this cup is the new covenant in my blood”). His disciples were to partake of not just food filled with symbolism, but the very life of the one who is “the way, and the truth, and the life” (John 6:14). To partake in this heavenly meal was to partake in the very life of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, and most importantly, the Son of God.

When we partake of this meal today, we also find ourselves at the table with Christ. Although Christians have struggled to understand how exactly this happens, we know with certainty that Christ commends us to eat this meal as often as we can and that from such a meal our faith is fed. Like Baptism, Holy Communion or the Eucharist (from the Greek meaning “thanksgiving”) is a sacrament that involves physical elements paired with a Word of God’s promise. It is a sacred moment when we glimpse the heavenly banquet shared not only across the globe, but shared with the host of heaven into eternity. Imagine celebrating a meal with all the children of God surrounded by angels and archangels, cherubim and seraphim!

The Old Testament Exodus story of the flight from Egypt paired with New Testament apocalyptic vision of the Book of Revelation facilitates much of the imagery and hymnody around Holy Communion. It is the sacrificed blood of lambs smeared over the doors that kept the first-born Hebrew children alive during the terrible tenth plague (Exodus 12:23)—death “passed over” them. So too, the blood of the “Lamb of God” (Revelation 12:11) took away “the sin of the world” (John 1:29) as Jesus became the sacrificial lamb in his crucifixion on the cross. Yet, sin and death could not hold this lamb, and so death is swallowed up in victory as Jesus is raised from the dead as Savior and the world is forever changed.

Like the Passover Meal, still celebrated by Jews all over the world as a Seder, Christians celebrate Holy Communion knowing that we too are caught up in a greater story that is more than remembrance, it is future promise. For Christians, no more sacrifices are necessary for everything has been done for us. Like our baptism, Holy Communion is pure gift, pure grace. Holy Communion is the ultimate free meal, paid for with the ultimate cost.

God bless you, Pastor Daren

A JOYFUL NOISE

The 2017 Biennial Conference of the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Henry Doktorski

When House of Prayer agreed to send me to the biennial conference of the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians in Minneapolis, Minnesota, I little knew what an exciting and rewarding adventure it would be for me! Every day was packed with activities: glorious services, workshops, seminars and demonstrations presented by nationally and internationally known organists, musicians, choirs, pastors, writers, and professors. I will give a brief summary of the highlights of each action-packed day.

Sunday, July 9th: I flew on Southwest Air to Minneapolis, changing planes in Denver. To save a $40 taxi fare, I took the Metro Train from the airport to downtown. I love trains and it only cost me 75 cents! After disembarking downtown at 11:45 pm, I walked six blocks in a light drizzle to the Hilton Hotel. I took care not to disturb the homeless people sleeping on the sidewalk. I wanted to get to the hotel by midnight, so I could get some dinner, as the hotel bar closes at that time. Arriving just at 12:00, I spoke to a waiter who said he had to talk to the manager to make sure the kitchen was still open. Fortunately for me, the manager let me order a sandwich.

Monday, July 10th: We traveled by motor coach to Augustana Lutheran Church in West Saint Paul where we participated in a 2-hour-long worship service nearly exactly like the Sunday services at House of Prayer. First of all, the music and singing was incredible! Practically everything was sung or chanted during the service (except the sermon, of course!). You can imagine the sound 400 professional church musicians (organists, cantors, choir directors) make when we get together! And the incredible music. James Bobb, the Assistant Professor of Organ and Church Music at St. Olaf College, played Augustana Lutheran’s 62-rank two-manual and pedal Glatter-Götz/Rosales organ with such command that I was in awe. Truly the great organists I heard at the conference reminded me of my humble abilities in comparison.

Three celebrants, James Bobb on the 62-rank Glatter-Götz/Rosales organ, the St. Olaf Cantorei, oboe, brass quartet consisting of trumpet, French horn, trombone and tuba, plus 400 professional church musicians singing the roof off. Great music touches my heart, and my heart seems to have been touched many times during the service. Really powerful, moving experience. Chorale Prelude: To Jordan Came the Christ, Our Lord with text by Martin Luther and music by Johann Walter (1524). Gathering Hymn: God Alone Be Praised by Susan R. Briehl and Zebulon Highben (2016) commissioned I believe for this convention, Kyrie, Canticle of Praise, Psalm, Gospel Acclamation, and much more. Communion Anthem: Tu pauperum refugium by Josquin Desprez (1450-1521), organ solo: J. S. Bach, Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam (BWV 684), too much to bear, almost. Everything was perfect, even the sermon was not too long. Very nice preacher, Kristine Carlson. Wow. Very powerful experience.

Tuesday, July 11th: Morning Prayer at 9 am at Westminster Presbyterian with guitar, flute and accordion accompaniment. Very nice, hymn choices worked out well. Of course, congregational singing was terrific. I sat up in the balcony so I could drink my morning coffee without disturbing anyone. Westminster Presbyterian has two huge circular stained glass windows, I estimate 15 feet in diameter.

10:30: I attended a workshop by James Bobb: “Conducting from the Console,” also at Westminster Presbyterian. At 4:00 I attended an organ music reading session by David Sims, organist and choir director at Holy Trinity Lutheran in Minneapolis, on the 2008 two-manual and pedal Dobson organ in the chapel of Westminster Presbyterian. I especially liked one piece he played by Michael D. Costello: Partita on “EIN FESTE BURGH,” which I later purchased from Concordia Publishing House in the Vendor Room at the Hilton Hotel. I intend to play this piece as a prelude at House of Prayer on the Sunday commemorating the 500th anniversary of the Reformation

At 7:30 I attended a Hymn Festival and Compline at St. Olaf Catholic Church, with the National Lutheran Choir, directed by David Cherwien, who also played the church’s 2004 Lively-Fulcher three manual and pedal organ. The Hymn Festival program consisted of:

The music and singing was inspiring, to say the least. Creator of the Stars at Night (Conditor Alme Siderum), one of my favorite Advent chants (c. 7th century) had me practically falling down in the aisle, between the singing, hand bells and the awe-inspiring and gut-wrenching tutti organ interludes by David Cherwien. An ecstatic and unforgettable experience. Breath taking (literally). I think I know what Handel meant when he said, “I did think I did see all Heaven before me and the great God Himself.”

Wednesday, July 12th: At 10:30 am I attended a lecture by Wyatt Smith, a DMA student at the University of Washington in Seattle, who presented a paper titled, “J. S. Bach's Clavier-Übung Dritter Teil: Devotional Practice versus Performance Tradition.”

At 1 pm, I attended a workshop by Paul Friesen-Carper and Luke Tegtmeier titled “Folk It: Vernacular Traditions and the Church’s Song.” Paul, who studied music at Valparaiso University and theology at the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago, is a superb guitarist and specializes in folk music in church. His friend Luke is an organist who works for the Muller Pipe Organ Company near Columbus, Ohio. During the folk service Luke helped lead the singing with an accordion.

At 2 pm, four motor coaches took us on a ninety-minute drive northwest to what was probably the most progressive Catholic Church and Monastery in Christendom in the late 1950s: the Abbey Church of St. John the Baptist in Collegeville, Minnesota. The church, and many of the other buildings on campus, was designed by the famous Brutalist architect Marcel Breuer and completed in 1961. Most of the church is made from concrete. The front of the church has a hexagonal honeycomb design for the stained glass windows. The bell tower reminded me of an enormous television set on a four-legged stand.

The altar faces forward; some years even before Vatican II. EXTREMELY progressive at the time. I mostly liked the interior, despite the lack of paintings, sculptures and decorations. No columns obstruct the view and the acoustics are long and reverberant. They have a three-manual and pedal Holtkamp organ. The bronze statue of St. John the Baptist standing by the Baptismal Font looks a bit gaunt, I guess from being out in the desert a long time fasting. At first I thought his staff was a fishing pole. He was, in a sense, a fisher of men.

One of the monks gave us a talk about the history of the abbey—founded in 1856 by five monks from the Order of Saint Benedict—and the design of the church. Later we listened to a panel discussion with Father Michael Joncas, composer of On Eagles Wings and other popular Catholic Songs, and ALCM spokesperson Pastor Susan Briehl. Joncas said he is currently working on writing a Hymn of the Day for each Sunday Gospel reading (some 1,000 hymns for the three-year cycle). At 7 pm we attended Evening Prayer with the monks.

Thursday, July 13th we heard a 9 am carillon concert at Central Lutheran Church by carilloneur, David Johnson. I am fascinating by the instrument and I’ve heard the 60-bell carillon at the Bok Tower Gardens in Florida and the 62-bell carillon at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. The carillon at Central Lutheran only has 49 bells, but it is still impressive. Toward the end of Johnson’s concert, I decided to climb the bell tower and visit him. He was quite friendly and told me the history of the bell tower and carillon, which is quite new, only about 10 years old. After climbing up to see the bells and take photos, I attended a Closing Eucharist service inside the church.

I am grateful to House of Prayer for sending me to Minneapolis and I especially thank Pastor Rev. Dr. Daren Erisman, Music Director Carol Gross and Finance Administrator Harlan Gruenstern, who encouraged me and provide the funding for my trip.

House of Prayer Long Range Planning Committee

The HOP Church Council has appointed a Long Range Planning Committee to develop a Five Year Plan to modernize and upgrade our facilities and to replace old equipment. The focus is on developing a plan that will help ensure that our equipment and facilities meet the needs of our church family going forward. Clearly the ability to fund the plan and to find volunteers to help with managing the individual projects is paramount to the plans execution.

The five year plan will be dynamic in that another year will be added as a current year ends. The five year plan will be briefed to the council for review and comment during the August council meeting after which it will be on the agenda for our October congregation meeting for approval to proceed.

The Council Vice President, Mike Erno is the committee chairman. Pastor Daren Erisman, Sandy Erno, Harlan Gruenstern, Danny Lowenberg, Kitty Wiebe, Adam Wiebe and Dale Schmidt are members. You may email Mike at erno_ml@sbcglobal.net with ideas that you may have. (Note that Mike’s email address has an “underscore” character between erno and ml).

Our youth will be showing

“MAX” Sunday, August 20th, 11:45am

Fellowship Hall

After U.S. Marine Kyle Wincott is killed in Afghanistan, Max, his highly trained service dog, is too

traumatized to remain in service. Back in the U.S., Kyle's family adopts the dog, but teenage brother

Justin (Josh Wiggins) has problems of his own and doesn't want the animal. However, Max may be

Justin's only chance to learn what really happened to his brother. With the help of a dog-savvy

friend, Justin and Max begin to bond, and set out to unravel the mystery of Kyle's death.;

The youth will provide snacks for everyone.

Come and enjoy a good movie and some great fellowship

Aug 3rd - Aug 5th

Blessing All,

This last month was a busy one, and I wanted to share some of the events the youth attended and so things to coming up.

Dream Big was the theme for the 2017 Western State Youth Gathering. The speakers, music, workshops, and activities encouraged us to look at God’s dreams of the past and his dreams for each of us. We were shown how God gives us our dreams and then helps us to achieve those dreams. One speaker said, “Your dream may be too big for the people around you but not for the God within you.” Later Bishop Andy Taylor asked, “where have you seen God this week?” I saw Him in the faces of the young people and in their joy at sharing God’s love with one another. It was a great event and it had me dreaming about attending the National Gathering next summer. Who is going to go with me?

The next big activity for the youth was Confirmation Camp at Luther Glen camp. The main theme was I Am. Using the book of John, we explored the great I Am and how through Jesus Christ we are fed, faithful, free, connected, and shining. One of the counselor’s said “If it’s not a blessing, it is a lesson.” I just felt that this was a great lesson for us to remember. We all have times when things are tough and during those times we can learn so much with God’s love.
