“God’s Gift of Time” Stewardship Meetings:
Sunday Nov, 6th at 2:00 pm Tuesday Nov, 8th at 6:45 pm
Wednesday Nov, 9th at 6:45 pm
“God’s Gift of Time” Two beautiful bible readings—one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament—help set the table for this year’s stewardship meetings. Please give your attention to the Stewardship Board’s article in this month’s Tidings
regarding the three opportunities you have to attend a gathering of our members where we will ponder the sacredness of time itself.
My mind is already working on the devotional lead into our early November time together. I am thankful for God’s voice present to us in the book of Ecclesiastes:
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 2 a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to throw away; 7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
When I read the complex words from this section of wisdom literature, I am reminded that every day of life has built into it a purpose. To regard every hour of every day as a gift from God that is to be used in service to season or person or moment is important. Time, precious time, allows us to do things. What season of life are you in? How are you using your abilities to be alive in this ever-changing world?
In the New Testament, Jesus encourages us to not try to live too big…to discover that today, this day is perfeclty enough. As Jesus speaks to his first disciples he speaks to us:
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will
drink,[a] or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body
more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather
into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than
they?27 And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life?[b] 28 And
why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they
neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like
one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and
tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little
faith? 31 Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or
‘What will we wear?’ 32 For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed
your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But strive first for the
kingdom of God[c] and his[d]righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as
well. 34 “So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s
trouble is enough for today.
Jesus wants us to see that time is our friend. As God promises to care for us (as surely as God cares for the birds of the air) we are freed to live in this day. This day, with its own share of trouble, is the amount of time that is right for us. When we live in this day, and let tomorrow carry its own load at its appointed time, we will live most fully as people of faith. So, if this were your last day to live, what would you do with it? What would happen to our world if we all lived each day as if it were our last?
The Word promises that time itself is a gift from God to us. How we use our time becomes, then, an expression of how much we have placed our trust in Him.
Blessings,
Pastor Greg Johnson
P.S.
I look forward to seeing the households of our active congregation on either November 6th (2:00 p.m.), November 8th or 9th at 6:45 p.m. Please let the church office know whether or not you will be attending a stewardship workshop. And, if you are able to attend, we would ask that you let us know which one of the workshops will fit your schedule.
November, Tuesdays, 4:00 p.m. & 5:45 p.m. - Yoga classes – Yoga meets two different times on Tuesday evenings with Beaver Valley’s own Gingi Hanson.

November, Tuesdays, 6:30 p.m. - Parent and Me “Sing and Sprout” Music Class For those who don’t know, this Christian based class helps children “move and groove, shake and shimmy and learn about God through music.” Each week students will get to play with a new musical instrument and learn memory Bible Verses, along with other new and traditional songs. Sing n' Sprout, which will be on Tuesday evenings at Beaver Valley, is for children 6 months to five years in age. The cost of the class is $40 for first child and $35 for any additional children.

November 2nd, Wednesday, 7:00 p.m. – Adult Choir We would love to add another voice or two to the BV Adult Choir! Please sign up on the bulletin board in the church’s main hallway as we again this fall come together to offer our voices in worship. Director Shelly Berg and accompanist Gingi Hanson are getting the choir ready for the December 11th Christmas Cantata performance.
November 2nd, Wednesday, 6:45 p.m. – Confirmation As we make plans for the expansion of the back office area—which will become a new ministry room and home for our Confirmation Class—our 6th-8th graders will meet in the church kitchen. This year’s theme: becoming “Imitators of Christ”—Learning to Live and Love the Servant Life. The kids will take their Holy Communion quiz on this night.
November 3rd, Thursday, 7:00 p.m. - Council Meeting The church council will meet to conduct monthly business one week early this month.

One of the great gifts Martin
Luther gave to western Christianity was his translation of the bible into the language of the common man and woman.
He argued that God spoke to everyone and (not just preachers and academics) whenever the bible was read.
In the spirit of the observance of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, I ask that every Beaver Valley household consider ordering a copy of the book, Meet the Bible. We will order the book in early December and get them out to everyone so that we can begin in early January to read great portions of the bible together throughout the Reformaiton500 year.
The cost of the book is $20. We will often meet to keep each other on pace and encouraged. We will use portions of this book for outdoor worship devotions this summer, etc.
(Tear off below to reserve your copy of this book) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

God’s Gift of Time When was the last time you took time to contemplate about your life and wondered if you have used your time wisely? What if today was your last day? What would you do? Would you have lived your life differently, made different choices?
Our Stewardship meetings are about sharing your time and how we can think about making changes to have time to serve Christ.
Please set aside time to come to one of three “God’s Gift of Time” workshops:
Sunday, November 6th, 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, November 8th, 6:45 p.m. Wednesday, November 9th, 6:45 p.m.
Stewardship is not only about financial giving but also giving some of our time. Beaver Valley needs your time and talent to further our mission. If you attended our Stewardship meeting about God’s Gift of Time you received a Time & Talent form. There are many ways to serve with some activities taking only a few hours.
Please prayerfully consider how you can give a portion of your time back to Christ.
Please bring your completed Time & Talent form on Sunday, November 20, 2016.
Thursday, November 10th 7:00 p.m.
New Member Classes begin! There are a growing number of guests of Beaver Valley that have indicated an interest in learning more about our congregation as they consider becoming members. What a blessing!
--Consecration Sunday Commitments—
Last year at this time, our Beaver Valley membership was again pausing to pray over the daily work of our congregation. We challenged one another to trust in God’s eager willingness to provide—freeing us to “step up” together in the weekly, financial support of our ministry. A significant number of BV households were able to increase their offerings to our general fund and the ministry of our church has indeed grown! Thanks be to God!
As we enter our last quarter of 2016 (Oct, Nov. Dec.), church leadership is busy with:
making sure our pledged giving outside of our own church building is being honored, and
putting together a 2017 mission plan (annual meeting budget to be approved in January of 2017).
Our combined giving over the last twelve weeks of the year not only drives our funding of gifts to the work of the Lutheran church here in South Dakota and around the world, but also helps us know how bold we can be as we grow our local ministry into the years ahead. THANK YOU to all who pray over their talents, time and treasures!
January 13th- 15th (Friday – Sunday)

The Beaver Valley alive! campaign is off and running and visible as we turn the corner to the end of 2016. Thanks to the generous, second-mile gifting of Beaver Valley members and friends, funding ($55,993.27 to date),for all of project #1 and an increasing portion of project #2 expenses (refreshing of the 1967 addition) has been received! Thanks be to God!
Here are some simple updates:
Project #1: Revitalize and preserve the 1922 addition of the Church (* indicates work already finished)
Remaining balance for new steel shingled roof on the sanctuary $15,000* Replace existing electrical outdoors (steeple lighting, etc.) 4,000* Add more lighting in the front of sanctuary 1,000 Get new sound equipment for worship leaders 4,000 Refinish exterior of front doors 1,000* Refinish “tops” of pews 300*
The final pieces of work that are part of the Project #1 budget are in the works. We wait for busy sub-contractors who will give advice and provide services to complete the lighting upgrade (especially to enhance the “performance area” around the steps in the front of the sanctuary) and to upgrade key components of the sound system. The good news is that Project #1 expenses will come in several thousand dollars under the campaign estimate of $30,000. This will help us fund needed improvements associated with Project #2.
Project #2: Restore and remodel the 1967 addition to the Church. We wait on many bids at this point. The bullet points below and estimates of cost are “rough” at this time. But it is important to share the scope of the project with members:
Replace doors and windows on west side of the church. $28,000 Replace two metal doors on south side of church 3,000* Remove wall between back office and old youth director’s
Office to make a new ministry room: (new ceiling, carpet, paint, Lights) 6,000
Refurbish central office: (refresh or replace cabinets/ new lights, build new work counter, paint) 8,000
New main hallway “touches:” ( new, cloth covered bulletin boards, 4,000 Digital bulletin board, paint.)
* Indicates work finished and paid for by campaign gifting.
