A Message from Our Pastor

Jesus the trouble maker...

The past few weeks I have enjoyed and struggled preparing for the sermon series entitled "Jesus the Troublemaker." While it is true that Jesus was a person who often stirred the pot, we often shy away from Jesus' more radical teaching. But maybe it is good for our faith and discipleship to wrestle with the hard, difficult and troubling teachings of Jesus.

We often accept that Jesus was put to death by Roman and Religious leaders, but we don't often ask the question of why? Why would Jesus pose such a threat that he would be killed? We know it is rare for a teacher, pastor or rabbi to be sentenced to death. As Christians we know the theology of Jesus' death, that by his death, he becomes a sacrificial lamb, taking our sins once and for all. Historians write that the reason Jesus was killed had to do with his teachings, his large group of followers and the way he questioned the norms of the state, and the institution of the temple.

Jesus often taught about a new kingdom, a new reign of God, a new beloved community. While we hear this, and like the sound of it, we must remember that Rome did not allow competing kingdoms. Rome was in charge, and Rome ruled. Likewise the religious leaders were not interested in reform or a community that was not tied to the temple. Jesus spoke of the temple being his body, of God dwelling in the community of faith. The temple scribes and Pharisees were made wealthy by the temple and the temple taxes. Jesus' talk and his action of disrupting the money changers in the temple would cause much alarm to religious leaders who supported the temple and its taxes.

Jesus was so controversial that ultimately the Roman and Religious leaders joined forces together to arrest him, charge him, try him, and kill him. Fearing a mob may rise up, Jesus was arrested at night. Jesus of course did not resist his arrest. Jesus was like a lamb going to slaughter, the lamb of God, who takes away the sin of world. Jesus died a trouble maker, but it is through Jesus' death and resurrection that we find life and meaning. We follow his teachings, as his disciples, and we hear the call to live the life that leads to life.

The sermon series, Jesus the Troublemaker will continue through Sunday, October 13.

Grace and Peace,

Message From Our Council President

Greetings St. Luke Saints,

A big thank you to all of the Saints that donated and/or shopped at the youth yard sale to support their upcoming Mission Jamaica trip. A record amount was raised, giving them a great start to their fundraising efforts. Be on the lookout for other opportunities to help them reach their goals, such as Christmas wreaths.

On Saturday, October 12 please plan on joining your fellow Saints as we celebrate Oktoberfest. This will be an adult-only event at Kent and Tammy Anderson's "barn". Fellowship has planned a fun evening to include dinner. Look for more information soon.

Looking to expand your service at St. Luke? A great opportunity to see all the awesome ways that you can plug in will be at the Ministry Fair on Sunday, October 20. All of the current St. Luke committees will set up displays and be available to discuss how others can take part in continuing to make St. Luke a vibrant congregation serving our Lord.

Family Promise is having its annual pecan sale. Fresh 1 pound bags of pecans will be available and prices are remaining the same as last year! Plain will be $13.00. Roasted Salted, Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate and Praline will be priced at $14.00. These are the freshest, best tasting pecans that you will ever have. They are great for baking, gifts and serving at parties. The delivery date will be prior to Thanksgiving. We will be pre-selling in the Narthex starting September 29 through October 27th. Orders will need to be turned in by Monday, October 28 th .

Our annual Stewardship Campaign will begin on October 27 th (also Reformation Sunday). St. Luke will be asking all of us to prayerfully consider how we can financially support our church in 2020. This commitment is crucial at allowing our committees to accurately plan their activities for the year. The Campaign will end on November 17 with Consecration Sunday, coinciding with the celebration of St. Luke's 35 years of ministry. Pastor Hood will deliver the sermon that day followed by a celebration meal in the CFC.

I look forward to continued ministry with you all.

Peace and God's Blessings to all.

For all of those St Luke Saints who are recyclers, here are some tips:

Will you please crush the cans before putting them into a plastic bag of your choice.The result will be more cans (weight) in each bag and fewer trips to our outdoor storage area and more $dollars$ on each trip to the recycling company which is HWY 51 near the Mississippi River.
They only accept aluminum, that is aluminum cans. No other types of aluminum uses. They will just throw anything else out.
Place your cans next to the Coca Cola machine or in the outdoor storage area and we will transport them to be recycled.
This does not raise a lot of money but there are many uses for small items or programs that could be easily paid for.

Continue or become a Recycler.

It is good for you, St Luke and America .

Thank you

Elvin Carlson and Richard Morgan

To my dear family of St Luke,

You have taken such wonderful care of me before, during and directly after my rotator cuff surgery. I had round-the-clock care , yes round-the-clock, from my brothers and sisters in faith. You brought me to preop and surgery and stayed at the hospital to bring me home from the hospital. My students at Covenant United Methodist and Cordova Library Friends also pitched in, as did my neighbor across the street. I didn't think I would need all this attention but I really did. You have brought an abundance of tasty food. I haven't felt like eating but your food has helped me to eat to regain my strength. You continue to take care of me and I can't thank you enough. I aliceam a little afraid of being in a crowd right now, but one Sunday soon, I will get to see you. I want to write thank you notes, but I can't use my right arm for several more weeks. I can type with one finger though.

I am eternally grateful,

In His Name,
Alice Burns

Tidbits of the Week - 9/29

Reserve your table now for our Ministry Fair! On Sunday, Oct 20 we will show case our ministries in the narthex before and after service.

The holidays will be here, before you know it! Shop local - St. Luke will have pecans and pine wreaths for sale, which will help sustain our outreach programs. Sign up in the Narthex.

It's coming! Soon-to-be Bishop Kevin Strickland will be installed this Saturday, at the Cathedral of St. Phillip, in Atlanta. He will visit St. Luke on Sunday, November 24. Please keep our new bishop in your prayers.

Don't forget to keep a supply of Manna bags in your car (or, in Pastor Cliff's case, on his bike! Did you know he did a 100 mile ride, last weekend? Go Cliff, Go!). The needy among us have been grateful for this treat, especially in this hot weather.

Proust! Our Oktoberfest celebration will be held at Kent & Tammy Anderson's barn, on Saturday, October 12. Look for details in the October newsletter. It is for adults only and will be "beery" much fun.

We're still in need multi-media folks. Please consider helping out and call the office to volunteer. Thanks! And thanks to the three people who have volunteered to be counters!

Cliff Notes: Luke 16: 19-31. Warning! The objects you see may be closer than you think! The poor will always be with us and, unfortunately it's easy to not see them. Jesus the Troublemaker was all over this and he repeatedly let the powers that be know that it was their problem to solve. If we are blessed with the ability to earn an easy life, we need to walk in God's kingdom on earth and take care of those in need. Jesus spent His time with tax collectors and sinners and He taught by using relating stories (parables), which was wonderful. Wealth and greed were prevalent in His day, and it's still that way! We all have to decide whom we will serve, with the assurance that the consequences of that decision will reverberate when we leave this earth. Lazarus was a poor man, lying at the gates of a rich man, whom Jesus never named (interesting...). When they died, Lazarus was blessed with eternity with God, while the rich man paid for his greed and selfishness in Hades. When he asked Abraham to warn his family, the answer was," They don't need to be warned! They need to listen to what Moses and prophets have been saying!" Note to Pharisees: Life is more than wealth! At St. Luke, we support those in need here in Memphis (MIFA, Habitat, Family Promise, Manna bags, etc.) and elsewhere, by giving 10% of our income to the ELCA for distribution. Caring gives joy, so, if you think about it, if you want to do something for yourself, care! It's a win-win!!! Amen to that...

ELCA News...

Articles in this month's Seeds Monthly include:

"We Are Church, We Are Called"

In 2019 and 2020, the ELCA is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the church's decision to ordain women, the 40th anniversary of the ordination of women of color and the 10th anniversary of the church's decision to remove barriers to ministry for persons in publicly accountable, lifelong, monogamous same-gender relationships. Congregations are encouraged to recognize and honor these anniversaries throughout the year. Resources, including Bible studies, banners, worship materials and more, are available.

Read more about the anniversaries and download resources.

"Message on racism and white supremacy"

On Sept. 13, Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton issued a statement regarding actions the 2019 Churchwide Assembly took to address "the deadly power of racism and white supremacy." The actions included offering a public apology titled "Declaration of the ELCA to People of African Descent," adopting a resolution condemning white supremacy and adopting a resolution to establish June 17 as "Emanuel 9 Day of Repentance." Eaton said, "Standing equally under the judgment and promise of the gospel, we, as a church, can recognize the overt and covert ways that a culture of white supremacy denies full humanity to all people, and we can work to dismantle it." Read the statement.

Dear Friends in Christ,

We have so much to celebrate as we complete Always Being Made New: The Campaign for the ELCA, the first comprehensive campaign for this church.

Through the generosity of members and congregations across this church, ELCA ministries received $250 million - $195 million in cash and multiyear commitments, as well as $55 million in planned gifts - to continue, strengethen and expand their work here at home and with our gloval companions around the world. Thank you!

The final impact report will give you a glimpse of the campaign's impact on these crucial ministries.

The generosity of this church show that, with God's blessing, our vision needs to be broader. Together, we have accomplished more than we ever thought possible - and this is just the beginning. This campaign has opened our imaginations and dreams for what more God is calling us to do in the years ahead.

Thank you for your ongoing support as we continue to mobilize the resources of this church to do God's work in the world. We are so grateful for you.

In Christ,

The Rev. Ronald T. Glusenkamp

Director, The Campaign for the ELCA
