BABY STEPS IN WORSHIP We are making some small steps forward in our worship practices - about which we are excited. Assistive listening devices are available again for anyone who would like to use them. They can be found on the usher’s table in the church lobby. While we are still asking everyone to be masked, it is allowing us to begin singing again. At this point, we are only singing (as a congregation) on the closing song. (But, hopefully, we will all be singing all the songs again soon.) As you arrive for worship, please move to the center of the pews (as you are able) to allow others arriving after you easier access to seating.

WORSHIP SERVICE RECORDING DELAY If you’ve tried to watch the recorded worship service right away after the worship service ends and you encounter difficulties or can’t find it, that is because there is a delay in uploading it to the web. Come back later and try again and it should be there. Our apologies for any inconvenience. But - we are delighted to offer this possibility for people to worship at any time that works for their schedules.

PRAYER REQUESTS We have created another way for you to submit prayer requests. You can use a prayer request form (available in the weekly worship bulletin and also on the credenza in the church lobby) to ask for prayers. If you would like a prayer petition/request to be included in the Prayers of the People during worship, complete a form and give to an usher before the sermon, so that they can pass it along to the liturgist. The form also has spots for indicating which avenue (worship, bulletin, email prayer chain) you would like used to pass along the request to others (or if for staff only).

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITH IN ACTION! Thank you for all the things you do to care for one another – the moments of grace and patience extended to loved ones and strangers, the phone calls and little notes sent to check in on friends and family. Thank you for helping here at church, in your neighborhoods and in your communities! YOUR actions of faith make a big difference in the lives of others. As author Louise Penny has said, “The world is brighter for your presence.”

Every year, the ELCA shares “Stories of Faith in Action”. Therein, they tell stories of different ministries and communities that are making a difference. They do so to help share how some mission support donations are used. ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton starts the publication off by sharing how Philip, Andrew and the disciples see scarcity in the story of the Feeding of the 5,000. She writes, “As we consider the last year and our current reality navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, we in the church might be tempted to view our situation as Philip or Andrew might. We could wring our hands and say we’re low on funds, or look at our resources and complain they’re not enough. Yet, looking at the stories that came out of 2020, I see evidence of God’s miracles. The disciples in John’s Gospel approach ministry challenges with a scarcity mindset. Jesus shows us a different way: trusting in God’s awesome abundance.”

1 And so over the next few months, we want to share with

you some of these “Stories of Faith in Action”. “Jesús Escamilla knows the power of relationships. Over 15 years, he’s seen God provide for his congregation through faithful partners across the church and within his community. “What God wants, if you believe and trust in how he wants to do it, it will get done,” said the pastor of San Gabriel Lutheran Church in Alvarado, Texas.

Escamilla came to San Gabriel in 2006, when future congregants were holding Bible studies weekly in worshipers’ homes. To worship, they drove more than 30 miles north to San Miguel Lutheran Church in Fort Worth. He joined the Bible studies, then became the faith community’s official worship leader a year later, ministering in homes for both Bible study and worship. In time, the growing faith community needed a building in Alvarado. A deal with a local supporter allowed the congregation to begin renting a plot of land, where it worshiped outdoors and eventually built makeshift indoor worship space. “Everyone was dusty, but they didn’t care because they had a place to worship — their own place,” Escamilla said. Over time, partnerships with local congregations allowed San Gabriel to build a permanent church. Gifts from other Lutheran churches allowed them to put in flooring and pews and later, to take own-ership of their land. Since then, the church has grown, adding a fellowship hall that serves as a community hub for the area’s largely Mexican immigrant population. But like so many congregations, San Gabriel struggled to maintain a sense of community during the worst days of the COVID-19 pandemic. The church closed and pivoted to virtual worship on Zoom and Facebook, with Escamilla, lay leaders and a small contingent of choir members recording services in person at the church. Escamilla believes that San Gabriel has been built up by the generosity of others — church members, nearby ELCA congregations and, through Mission Support funds. “It’s been a conjunction of [congregations] working together to help a community that was struggling,” he said. “We have this wonderful community that is working together to work with what the Lord wants us to do.””

FLOWERS & BULLETINS FOR WORSHIP

Do you like the beautiful flowers on the altar? How about the color bulletin covers? One of the ways to support the church finances and help beautify our worship service is to donate money to pay for these items, which can also be offered in memory or in honor of someone or something special in your life. The sign ups for both of these can be found on the usher’s table in the lobby or you can call the church office. Thank you!

CURRENT RACAP PANTRY NEEDS

Items Needed: Tomato Products (paste, diced, sauce), Jello, Travel-size and full-size shampoo, Dry Beans, Rice, Jelly.

Is your harvest too big for you? Do you have fruits or vegetables you would like to share with RACAP clients? Please feel free to donate any surplus fruits or vegetables you might grow to RACAP and we will include them in our grocery orders. We are available for donation drop off Monday thru Friday from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

Thanks for caring! We grow in many ways when we move outside our comfort zone. When one loses almost everything in a house fire, one is “kicked out” of their comfort zone. That happened to me on the Sunday afternoon of August 29

th. The outpouring of your caring, loving concern has supported me more than

I have words to express. The following words from QuotesGram comes very close to what I feel in my heart.

THANK YOU FOR CARING: When someone takes the time to listen,

When someone reaches out, When someone does a thoughtful thing

That makes you warm throughout.

When someone lends a helping hand, Finds ways in which to share,

When someone makes you feel secure By always being there.

When someone senses there are times When you have special needs,

When someone gives you inner strength, Through words as well as deeds.

When someone seems to take an interest In just how you are faring,

It’s time to tell that special someone Thanks so much for caring!

With a grateful heart, Joyce Lucas

Help RACAP fill their Thanksgiving and Christmas meal baskets Fall is in the air, and we all have so much to be thankful for.

FINANCIAL UPDATE We realize this has been a financially difficult year for many and like you, we have limited our expenses. Even so, we’re facing a fairly significant deficit for the budget this year and we need to increase our income. At the end of August, our total income (for the year) was $204,275 and our total expenses were $224,167. The church council is asking you to prayerfully consider increasing your giving, as you are able. Every little bit helps as we continue to make a difference in our community, “serving neighbors near and far”. Thank you!

Stewardship Message

Everyone is called to be a steward. We are co-workers with God.

The word stewardship is a strange word, with a fascinating story behind it. It is an important word that we need to know. A steward in the New Testament is a hired man, servant or manager whom the master trusts to run his household.

Jesus commented that a servant does not know what his master does. Conversely, a steward does know about the master’s affairs. There is a close trusted relationship between a steward and his master. However, Jesus taught that our relationship with God is even closer. We are children of God. We are not hired servants but sons and daughters making decisions in partnership with God.

As children of God and as members of God’s family, we can also help make important decisions with our Heavenly Father, within the larger family circle of believers. We are co-workers with God. He remains God and we remain His people; we are in no sense His equal. He calls us to be stewards and to share with Him in the life and activities of His kingdom as followers of Jesus Christ.

In closing, let me share a story. A farmer vowed to give God one of two calves his cow delivered, and his wife asked, “Which calf is God’s?” He said “It doesn’t matter. I will give the Lord one when they are grown.” A few weeks later, he came into the house looking very sad. “What’s wrong?” asked his wife. He replied, “The Lord’s calf died last night.”

We may smile at that story, but it illustrates a typical attitude. Rather than facing the fact that God owns everything, we often see all we have as ours and give God what’s left over, if anything.

Giving is not returning a portion of our resources to God—it is acknowledging His ownership of all we have and are! So let us continue to serve neighbors near and far, and grow disciples for Christ.

CTK PRAY GROUND WISH LIST We still have items on our wish list!! The Pray Ground can still use your help. We have a number of children using the Pray Ground and enjoying it because they see what is happening up front while they are learning using the supplies found therein. We have heard from parents how their kids love it and are listening to the worship ser-vice, even while engaged in other activities.

To make this ministry a true triumph and bring the best experience to our children, we want to ask for your help in purchasing items for our Pray Ground. We have created a shopping list on Amazon (think of it like for a wedding registry or baby shower). The items selected support fine motor skills, improve language and brain development, and build early math skills. If you have a suggestion, please contact Katharine Barden.

To buy an item for the Pray Ground, you can follow the QR code on your smart phone or this link (http://a.co/64rpgHr) to the Amazon site, find something and then purchase it (shipped directly to church OR to your home and you can then deliver to church). But, if you would like to make a monetary donation instead to help purchase items, designate it “Pray Ground” on your offering. Thank you for supporting this ministry and our vision!

PROJECT RADICAL HOSPITALITY– The Southwestern Texas Synod Women of the ELCA are embarking on a leap of faith to actively serve

our neighbor. Right now, that means sponsoring a documented asylum seeker who needs support while navigating the legal immigration process. Did you know—a legal immigrant/asylum seeker might have to wait up to a year to be able to get a work permit to be able to support themselves. And they’ve already demonstrated a probable risk of persecution to get to this point. To provide a safe and stable home, we are partnering with Amazing Grace Lutheran in San Antonio to build a home! In addition to financial support big or small, we also have a Wishlist of items to set up Hospitality House to welcome our first guest, a woman fleeing violence and with specialized medical needs.

How can YOU help? Email [email protected] for project updates and to pledge financial support or mail checks to SWT WELCA % Cindy Hilliard (call Margaret in the office for more info on the address) Paypal payments may be made to paypal.me/swtwelca. Walmart Gift Cards may be mailed to Randa Bruce (Call Margaret in the office for info on the address)

Upcoming Events: October 10th - Thankoffering Service October 25th - General Meeting at 6:45 pm in the Fellowship Hall. There will be an option to attend via Zoom for those that cannot attend in person November 5th & 6th - Lutheran World Relief Ingathering at St. John Lutheran Church, Marion, TX

Each week, we will watch a 15-20 minute video together followed by discussion on the topic.

We will temporarily be meeting in the Disciples’ Room (aka choir room) so we can offer a better connection for our online participants.
