From the Pastor’s Pen
Picnics and polkas; community outreach and congregational birthdays…what do these things have in common? The month of October. This will be a busy, fun month at our church. You don’t want to miss it!
It starts on October 6th with our annual Church Picnic at the Miller Ranch. This is one of the events the Waters family looks forward to year after year, and this year it’s free!—just pick up a ticket at the church. The picnic is a relaxed event with great food, leisure for visiting, fun and games…it’s a wonderful time to Connect with the church. Plan to be a part of it and join in the fun.
The weekend after that, join us for a Polka Service on October 13th. The Early and Praise Services will be the same that day, but the Late Service will be completely different. The Boerne Village Band will lead the Late Service in a Polka Worship, with all of the hymns and even some of the service music set to polka tunes. We’ll have a barrel of fun! Come and Worship with us.
The weekend after that we learn how to Serve with Growing Hope. Growing Hope is St. John’s partnership with Hill Country Daily Bread. We’ve had a team of people working hard on it for months, and now they’re ready to introduce this new ministry

-
Not because you are obligated, or that you can do enough to earn your way to heaven. We are also not to make a show of all the good deeds we are doing to gain praise from others like the Pharisees were admonished for
in Jesus’ day. On the contrary, it seems the point of James’ message is that your deeds will flow out of you because of your faith and love for God. It’s as if you won’t be able to help yourself from becoming involved as your faith grows and leads to action.
ATTENDANCE COMPARISON
INCOME COMPARISON
Faith In Action
This can be a difficult scripture for us to understand–especially in light of our understanding that we are “saved by grace through faith.” After all, this is the argument that kicked off the Reformation. However, it is obvious that believers are expected to perform deeds that accompany our faith.

Many years ago, the basketball coach at the University of Utah told the story of an extremely talented young player. The player had NBA star potential. But after a year with the Utes, the coach got a surprise. His star player wanted to go on a church mission for two years.
The coach had a meeting with the young man and his parents. He explained that he believed the young man would very likely make a fortune as a professional, giving him financial freedom for life. But he would jeopardize that by taking two years completely away from the game.
The family listened carefully, looked at each other, and then the father said, “Coach, we understand your assessment. It is very clear. But what about eternity?”
Eternity is a long time. And our St. John mission deals with it. We are focused on the eternal salvation of every person on earth. Which brings me to the St. John Endowment Fund. Like most permanent endowments, it is intended to last as long as the earth lasts. It will steadily provide funds for St. John mission work, making Jesus known to the world. Training pastors, feeding the hungry, spreading the Gospel, building shelter,
drilling water wells, etc.
Our endowment has a modest start, and it will continue to grow, bearing more fruit. Future generations, not yet born, will hear the Gospel because St. John chose to focus on eternity.
We will be hearing more about the St. John Endowment Fund on November 10th, at all three worship services. Exciting stuff. Indeed, what about eternity?
St. John Congregation President,Scott Kramer
MESSAGE from the CONGREGATION PRESIDENT
You may be thinking: Sounds great, but where do I start? Well, you’re in luck! St. John has developed a system to link our congregation’s gifts and interests to the needs of our various ministries. By visiting our website and clicking on the SJ Connect button in the upper right-hand corner, you can enter your profile and contact information. Then, you will be contacted when there is a need. See, it’s easy.
I pray that the Holy Spirit will move us to action as we grow in our faith.
Your Brother in Christ, Kyle Gass, ChairSt. John Lutheran Stewardship Committee
“ 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.” - James 2:15-18

Establishing your legacy through final fruits...Reminder!St. John members will have opportunity to learn more about estate planning at each of the three services on November 10, Planned Giving Sunday. The Reverend Dr. Gerald B. Kieschnick will speak that day on the importance of establishing your legacy for your family and charitable causes that touch your heart. Pastor Kieschnick is President Emeritus of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod and CEO of Legacy Deo.
In Bible class that day Mr. Gary Juhl, Legacy Giving Consultant, will dispel several myths about estate planning including: “I’m not wealthy enough to consider planned giving. If I don’t have a will, my family will be able to figure it out. I’m too young to think about dying. Our estate plan was completed several years ago. We should be okay.”
