changes schedule Several changes result in our worship and
Christian education schedule because Christmas
Eve falls on a Sunday night this year.
The 4:30 pm Saturday, Dec. 23 service and a
9:30 am Sunday, Dec. 24 service will mark the
Fourth Sunday of Advent with “A Season for
Singing,” identical services with Christmas carols
and reflections. Communion will be celebrated.
CHRISTMAS EVE starts around sundown on
Dec. 24. We will have four services to insure
there is plenty of room for the hundreds of wor-
ship guests who normally are with us.
Details about the identical services for children
at 3 and 5 pm and candlelight carol Communion
at 7 and 10 pm are listed in the right-hand col-
umn.. Each child in worship will be offered the gift of
a Christian book.
The regular schedule will resume on Dec.
30/31, with worship at 4:30 pm Saturday and 8
and 10:45 am Sunday.

From Simon of Galilee
Taking the music with you
“I really like that psalm we sing during the candlelight be-
ginning of Evening Prayer. I find it going through my mind
during the rest of the week.”
That’s what a worshiper said to me after a Wednesday Ad-
vent devotional service. I knew what she meant, because
the same thing had happened to me. The opening verses of
Psalm 141 and the music filtered back into my mind days
later.
MUSIC CAN HELP us remember the message. That’s
especially true as we prepare for Christmas. We hear
Christmas music in many places besides church. In
Walmart, we might hear “Silent Night; in CVS, “Joy to the
World.” The music of the season surrounds us with the
message. Of course, in worship
there’s a bonus: we get to sing
the words, too.
So when I hear “Angels We
Have Heard on High” at the
mall, my memory calls up the
message of the carol. In my
head I hear, “Come, adore on
bended knee, Christ the Lord,
the newborn king.”
MUSIC IS IMPORTANT in our life together at Galilee.
About 70 members and guests enjoyed a jazz trio’s holiday
concert Dec. 10 as the Galilee Community Concert Series
began. We’ll note the final Advent weekend worship at
4:30 pm Dec. 23 and at 9:30 am Dec. 24 with “A Season
for Singing,” a service featuring carols and reflections on
their meaning.
Our four Christmas Eve services – and a half hour of spe-
cial music before each – will include vocal solos, duets,
men’s ensemble and full choir. On the instrumental side,
we’ll hear our handbell choir and an ensemble, trumpet,
clarinet, guitar, piano and organ.
The music of Christmas was written to help us celebrate
Jesus’ birth. That music adds to the “specialness” of our
holiday worship. Then as we take the music with us, we
can rejoice once more with the message: “Christ, the Sav-
ior, is born.”
DOLLY MAE NEE SPENCER KLEIN was born in
Maryland on Dec. 25, 1926. She married Paul
Klein on June 8, 1946 at Salem Evangelical Lu-
theran Church, Baltimore.
They moved to Pasadena in 1952. When Galilee
Lutheran Church was organized in late 1964, they
transferred their membership on Jan. 1, 1965.
During her 52 years as a member of Galilee, Dol-
ly taught Sunday School for many years, attended
Bible class and served as treasurer and later presi-
dent of the American Lutheran Church Women.
She was active in the Lutheran Women’s Mission-
ary League from the time it began at Galilee in
1986.
During the years Paul served as head usher at the
8 am Sunday service, Dolly would arrive with him
at 7 am to help prepare for worshipers.
In her final months when she was confined to her
home, Dolly appreciated visits from Visitation As-
sociate Gene Sanders and Pastor Hank Simon.
Dolly and Paul were married for 71 years. Their
son Steven M. Klein preceded her in death. Surviv-
ing in addition to Paul are son David P. Klein;
grandsons Michael P. Klein and his wife Christy,
Jeffrey E. Klein and his wife Jaime, Timothy E.
Klein and Andrew S. Klein; and great-
granddaughter Emily Pfisterer. Dolly died on Nov.
15. The funeral service was led by Rev. Simon at
church on Nov. 21.
According to her wishes, Dolly’s body was cre-
mated, awaiting the resurrection from the dead and
the life of the world to come.

What Kind of Blue Are You?
BY EMILY PHOENIX Director of Discipleship
THE COLOR
BLUE marks the
season of Advent. It
marks the beginning
of a new year in the
church. But, I can
also relate to those
who feel “blue”
during the holidays.
Christmas is one of
my favorite celebra-
tions, despite it occurring just four days after the shortest
day of the year.
Anxiety, depression, strained relationships, grieving and
health concerns make many blue in a season supposed to
be filled with joy. In recent years, I have struggled with
some of these issues that many Galilee families face, too.
Depression and anxiety have become part of the daily
walk in our household this past year. It’s one of the loneli-
est and isolating battles one could face. Thankfully, the
support of a Christian community: family, friends and
church have been amazing to witness.
WEARY FACES and red, tear stung eyes at church are
the battle wounds of physical health issues or grief strik-
ing thinking of a loved one’s death.
I hear and read stories of individuals who worry about
current news events coming up at the holiday table when
they go home and I immediately empathize with the built
up tension.
And on top of all of that, many of us get caught up in the
busyness of parties, events, gift buying, decorating and
the sort, which become overwhelming instead of an en-
joyable part of the season. It’s hard to stop, choose wisely
and strive to put Jesus at the center of it all.
WHICH KIND OF BLUE ARE YOU FEELING? Are
you refreshed and focused with anticipation as the days
quickly pass? Or are you weary and tired, wondering how
you will accomplish it all before Christmas arrives?
Thanks goodness that Jesus is with us whatever kind of
blue we may be feeling! I recently came across an Advent
devotion that used John 1:5, “The light shines in the dark-
ness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” This verse
reminds that Jesus came, brought the light of a wonderful
love and gave it to us.
His light makes the “blues” of the season more joyful and
grace-filled. My prayer is that your celebration is Christ-
centered in the midst of the joys and sorrows of the sea-
son.

display. When you see your last name, go to the mail
store and ask the youth for your cards! We hope to
see many cards and many happy Galileans during the
Advent and Christmas seasons.

The staff at Galilee Lutheran Church
and Preschool
Wish everyone a blessed Christmas
Nursery for 10:45 am service? Galilee offers both a quiet room and nursery available for par-
ents with young children to use during worship. At this time,
our nursery is not staffed.
If you are a parent/
grandparent of a young child,
we would like to know if you
would use the nursery, if it
were staffed at the 10:45 am
service.
If there is enough interest, we will seek volunteers to serve
(and ask any parents who use the nursery, to volunteer to serve
once every four-six weeks).
If you are interested in this service during worship, please talk
to Director of Discipleship Emily Phoenix (dodemily@galilee
lutheranchurch.org).
A decision will be made once ample time has been given for
people to share their thoughts/feedback. Thank you.
TWO SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSROOMS in the basement have been renovated! Take a quick walk downstairs and check them out. Thanks to Sarah Jam-mal, Sunday School superintendent, and her family for all their hard work in making the classrooms so wel-coming! Thanks also to the Men’s Bible Breakfast Class for providing funds for the paint and Education Minis-try team funds for the rugs and projector mount.
2018 flower chart available The 2018 flower chart for placing bouquets for worship in the
sanctuary is now up on the bulletin board on the west wall in

News from the monthly meeting of the Church Council includes:
MEETING SET: Council members set 9:30 am Sunday, Jan. 28 for
the January meeting designated by the by-laws to receive annual re-
ports from officers, ministry teams and auxiliaries and celebrate
God’s blessings in the preceding year. A light continental breakfast
will be available in the fellowship hall during the event.
NOMINATIONS APPROVED: Council members approved six
nominations for 2018 Southeastern District elections, which will be
held at the SED triennial convention in 2018. Topping that list was
incumbent president Rev. Dr. John Denninger.
RECOMMENDATION MADE: Council members recommended a
three percent salary increase for staff in 2018 to the Jan. 28 congrega-
tional meeting. That responded to a request from the November con-
gregational meeting to make a recommendation, since the approved
2018 budget did not have an increase.
EARLIER PAY-OFF: Treasurer Steve Hause reported that a large
anonymous gift for mortgage principal lowered the mortgage balance
to about $27,600, with pay-off now expected next summer rather than
in the fall.
SECURITY SEMINAR: President Gary Thomas and Preschool
Ministry Team Coordinator Cheryl Blankinship attended an Anne
Arundel County seminar on public safety on Nov. 6. Council mem-
bers continue to be interested in having an AAC police officer come
to Galilee to talk with leaders about a church security plan.
ENDOWMENT FUND: Stewardship Ministry Team Coordinator
Mike Santos reported that a gift from the estate of Julia Kurtz has
raised the Endowment Fund to more than $8,300.
CHRISTMAS OUTREACH: Outreach Ministry Team Coordinator
Bob Cosler noted that more than 600 Christmas Eve worship invita-
tions have been mailed to households on our outreach list, with anoth-
er 200 planned to go to homes near our church.
November finances ahead of 2016 November financial reports to the Dec. 12 Church Council meeting
were: Offerings:$36,627 Expenses: $39,510 Balance: ($ 2,883)
Large expenses in November included $2,700 for unexpected mainte-
nance costs and payment of the final mission commitment to the
Southeastern District. Continued gener-
ous giving in previous months results
in a year-to-date balance of $4,313.
Last year, our balance entering the
final month of the year was $132.
Especially appreciated are your offer-
ings for those weekends when you are not in worship… but your
church continues to serve 365 days a year on this peninsula and be-
yond as a mission outpost for Jesus Christ.
We celebrate Epiphany,
then how God calls us Weekend worship during the Epiphany Season
marks the visit of the Magi, then centers on Gos-
pel readings about how God calls us. Details are:
“Epiphany Answers” is the theme for Jan.
6/7, based on Matthew 2:1-12. We mark the visit
of the Wise Men to the Child Jesus (Epiphany)
and ask “What does this mean?”
“Called Because We Are Loved” is the
theme for Jan. 13/14, based on Mark 1:4-11. We
think about Jesus’ Baptism, then how God has
called us in our Baptisms. We remember Bap-
tisms at Galilee in 2016.
