TRANSCRIPT
Hello First Lutheran,
November/December 2011
We who live in Southern California know that Fall officially
starts in September just like it does in every other place in the
US even if it‘s not very evident by the weather, leaves and
clouds. We have to look a bit closer, and when we do, the gifts
of autumn are all over the place.
The other morning as I was slumming around in the psalms (no surprise there!) a
verse popped out at me again. I stopped and considered ―the blessings of God are
too many to be counted.‖
God‘s gifts to me are there. Sometimes I just have look a bit closer. As the church
year draws to a close and we get ready for all the festivities that come along with it,
I‘m going to try and take notice of the many gifts that come to us during Reforma-
tion, All Saints, Thanksgiving, Advent, Christmas and New Years.
I know the tendency to get ―caught up in all the rush‖ at the end of the year is com-
mon to us all, but I also know that my Lord says I can redeem (buy back) the time
and give thanks for all His blessings. Hmmmm. I like that. What would my life be
like without singing ―A Mighty Fortress is our God‖ or not knowing the confidence
and promises that Psalm 46 brings me? How utterly sad and devastated I would be if
I didn‘t hear God‘s promise on All Saints Day that the dead in Christ will rise again?
If God didn‘t tell me in the Scriptures that it‘s Him Who provided everything I
needed this past year, I wouldn‘t step in church on Thanksgiving. If my parents and
pastors hadn‘t taught me about the first and second Advent of Jesus, do you really
think I‘d be within a hundred miles of a manger scene or love singing ―O Come, O
Come Immanuel‖? If I never heard the Gospel of God‘s love for me in Christ, I‘m
sure that Christmas would be just another disappointing holiday because I didn‘t get
what I want.
Psalm 103 extols the virtues of faith giving thanks to God Who loves, heals, for-
gives, strengthens, etc. me and all believers in Christ Jesus. Dear Lord, thank You
for Your blessings (more than I count) for providing me with everything I need for
my life, faith and eternity. Thanks for the seasons, the church year, the household of
faith and for Fall, even if I do have to look a little harder to see it. Amen.

―In 2009, when I arrived in Ntshongweni, the
crèche (day care) and community center were not
yet completed. Somewhere in the back of my
mind, I thought, ‗The time will come when these
buildings will have to be operational. I don‘t
know the first thing about opening and running a
crèche.‘ But God, in His wisdom, led us on the
path we needed to follow and opened many
doors for us. There were times when we were
frustrated, tired and just didn‘t know what to do. Here it is June 2011, and both the center
and creche are in full swing. Everyday there is the laughter of children at the crèche; it has
become a beacon in the community. God has carried us thus far!
The dream for the community center was that it would be a place where people could learn
skills and that the youth would have a safe place to go. One of the things that the commu-
nity center is used for is the ladies sewing group. In 2009, a group of ladies from the U.S.
came on a short-term team and taught the local ladies the basics of sewing. God has blessed
us with a wonderful instructor, Gori, who comes out to each the ladies several times a week.
There are about 10 ladies that sew weekly and they are improving their skills. Two of the
ladies have taken on a leadership role. They have been making tote bags which have be-
come their specialty and recently received an order for 70 from the U.S. They were very
happy about that. The ladies have named their group Siyathuthuka, which means ‗we are
progressing.‘ And indeed they are, God‘s hand of favor continues to be with us.
We have been blessed with a wonderful partnership in working with the social workers
from Christian Social Services. They were involved with the project from the very begin-
ning and were instrumental at that time in helping to identify the families that would receive
a house. Our recent partnership with them has led to a support group for the caregivers.
The group has been a blessing in bringing the ladies together and developing friendships
and they are able to support and encourage each other. At our last meeting, we had a special
guest, Gogo Cwengi, from the Hillcrest AIDS Center Trust who leads 27 granny groups in
the Valley of 1,000 Hills. She talked to the ladies about the importance of staying active
and exercising to keep healthy and led them in singing and dancing.
It was exciting to see some of the older ladies dancing and laughing. Gogo Cwengi also
stressed the need to support each other. We are blessed to have met Gogo Cwengi and look
forward to working with her. God is
opening the door to many local re-
sources for us. The social workers re-
ceived funding to train the youth in a
security course. Twenty youth from the
orphan project and community center
came to the church for a three-week
course. Fellow GEO missionary Julia,
Pastor Thwala and I attended the
graduation. It was amazing to see how
proud and happy they were. They
seemed to be more confident.‖

Dorothy Jean Stevenson was born on April 29,
1932 in South San Francisco to Leonard and
Dorothy Stevenson. Dorothy‘s parents had
originally wanted to name her Marjorie, but
when her father‘s brother and wife had picked
that name for their daughter, her parents had to
find another name. Her brother Fred, at the age
of three, decided that she should be called
Dorothy Jean, after her mother Dorothy Adele,
and the name stuck. Her father, Leonard,
worked in advertising and later in engineering
before he died when Dorothy was in high
school. Her mother was a talented coloratura
soprano, appearing in many stage productions
in and around the San Francisco area and lived
ninety-nine years.
Dorothy lived in the San Francisco area until the third grade when she moved
to West Hollywood with her family. In West Hollywood, Dorothy attended Rose-
wood Grammar School, Bancroft Junior High, and Fairfax High School, where she
graduated from in 1950. Beginning in her high school years, Dorothy became an
avid horsewoman. She jumped and performed in the calisthenics division for Pick-
wick Stables. She was also able to purchase two horses, with the help of a close
friend. However, she ended up giving the horses to her cousin mainly due to the ex-
pense of taking care of them.
Dorothy attended college at UCLA for a short time. Due to her father‘s
early death, her mother was struggling financially. Dorothy decided to leave college
and get her first ―real job‖ with a company called Commercial Casting where she
quickly moved up from a door knob painter to bookkeeper in another division of the
company. It ended up being a formative job for her career, which made her follow-
ing job as Controller/Secretary-Treasurer at National Missile and Electronics possi-
ble.
Dorothy also had other interesting jobs at places such as the California Rac-
quet Club, where she rubbed shoulders with many famous people. She was also the
personal gift wrapper for Lucile Ball for a short time.
Dorothy moved to Manhattan Beach when she took the job at National Mis-
sile, and that is when she met her husband, Joseph ―Jay‖ Byrnes. She and Jay met at
a party. She remembers that when they first met she couldn‘t remember his name the
second time they met. He talked about law incessantly, a subject, she says, she was
not remotely interested in. It turned out that he was in the middle of studying for the
bar exam to become an attorney. She and Jay were married on January 11, 1965. In
1968, she and Jay moved to Mission Viejo, California. Jay had a successful legal
career in Orange County. He retired a few years before he died from lung cancer in
2005. Dorothy and Jay had two children: Gillian and Stephen. Gillian married
Adam Haynes in Orange County on March 9, 2001. They have two daughters: Sa-
vannah, age nine, and Delaney, who will be three in December. Gillian and Adam
now live in Richmond, Virginia. In 2006, Dorothy and her son, Steve, moved to Las
Vegas with the hope of working with some good friends to start a theatrical employ-
ment agency there. Although there was some success, things went downhill very
rapidly once the recession hit. After six long years, Dorothy, Steve, and their cat

―Ninja‖ were able to happily move back to California to their current home in Lake Elsi-
nore.
Dorothy grew up in the Episcopal Church. She was baptized in May 1932. She
was later confirmed on June 13, 1948 at St. George‘s Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills
at the age of thirteen. Dorothy was first exposed to Lutheranism when she decided to en-
roll her children in the school at Abiding Savior Lutheran Church in Mission Viejo and
had to attend new members classes in order to get the discount on tuition. She was, how-
ever, very involved at St. George‘s Episcopal Church in Laguna Hills for many years. In
the late nineties, Dorothy moved back up to Northern California for a short time to take
care of her mother. While living up there, she began attending Messiah Lutheran Church
in Santa Cruz, California. She took the new member class there and became a member.
When she moved back down to Mission Viejo, she began attending Holy Trinity Lutheran
Church in Hacienda Heights, California. While in Las Vegas, she attended Redeemer
Lutheran Church, which she says was the only thing they liked about Las Vegas. She is
very happy to be a part of First Lutheran Church and looks forward to a a long and happy
association with all of her new friends.

LUTHERAN HERITAGE — C. F.W. WALTHER
C. F. W. Walther and the First Synodical Lutheran Hymnal
Born October 25, 1811 in Saxony, C.F.W. Walther has been called ―The Martin Luther of America,‖ because of the in-fluence he had on the Lutheran Church in America.
In May 1841 Walther became Pastor of Trinity Lu-theran Church in St. Louis, a position he held until his death. Soon Walther, a sometime-hymn writer himself, began work on a Lutheran hymnal for use by the emigrant Lutherans. Up to this time, one of the school teachers had to read the words of a hymn verse aloud to the congregation who then sang it.
Walther compiled hymns as well as liturgies from old Lutheran liturgical practices out of favor in Germany since the Age of Enlightenment. Thus the liturgies in this hymnal resembled what Martin Luther would have used. Trinity used their hymnal for the first time in August of 1847.
In 1863, this hymnal, already introduced to all congregations of the Missouri Synod, was given by Trinity congregation as a gift to the Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other States together with all revenue derived from its publication and sales. The melo-dies and words for these hymns and the liturgy continued in LCMS hymnals for many years.
Pastor Walther’s Further Accomplishments
C.F.W. Walther, achieved several major accomplishments while he was pastor, beside creating a hymnal. On the national scene, he introduced the idea of a synodical body to unify the efforts of doctrinally like-minded Lutheran churches throughout the Midwest, including the training of pastors and teachers. After receiving approval from Trinity‘s voters and meeting with other Lutheran leaders, in 1847 he went to Chicago to meet with the pastors of thirteen other parishes. They voted to form what was then called ―The Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other States,‖ today‘s 2.5 mil-lion-member Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod.
He died in St. Louis on May 7, 1887, and was buried at Concordia Cemetery, where a mausoleum was later built in his honor.

LETTER FROM PASTOR BERNARD
Bonswa mon ami= Good evening my friend!
I am sorry for not sending a note to you since a long; my internet service does not really work good this time. When I
have a little time to get in touch with my friends it is always at this time that my internet service does not work espe-
cially when it is raining.
We are fine and it is raining every day as the cyclone is passing close to Haiti. It is raining since this morning and the
humidity is unacceptable. I pray that it won't be that harmful to us this time.
Did I tell you that I have 22 weddings the coming December only at Village of Peace and a couple at Good Shepherd?
The people at Village of Peace who are going to get married are new members who have been living together for years
and having children but since now they become converts, we talk to them and let them know the importance of getting
married so that they can be baptized and become communicant members of the church at Village of Peace. Now the
biggest challenge is to get some rings for them since they cannot afford for that. I will get all of them at Good Shep-
herd at Delmas in just two sequences. Isn't that something? I thank God to convince them of their sins and make plans
to change their lives. Your prayers on their behalf are very much appreciated.
I also want to thank you for the continuing support of the First Lutheran Church. The wire sent by Mrs. Cheryl on Sep-
tember has arrived and will be used for the purpose it has been sent. Again, thank you so much for everything and may
our God continue to bless you and the ministry he has entrusted to you!
Hugs and greetings to the saints of the church and especially to Christina and the sons.
Thomas.
