LETTER FROM THE PASTOR
Baptismal vocation As I write on baptismal vocation, the St. Francis process—the planning, arguing, protesting, destruction, and construction process—informs my sense of call. Workers outside my window scurry beneath a crane higher than the window’s capacity to frame it. A good image for our vocation: beyond our capacity to frame it. I met a man recently. He spoke in compelling terms of Jesus’ voice. He had heard Jesus speak to him. I do not doubt his experience. It’s not one I share, but my lack of his experience affects not the veracity of his claim. Too many people report hearing “the voice of Jesus” for me to doubt Jesus speaks directly to some, even if he has not done so to me. In any case, this experience is distinct from what I mean by vocation—God’s call anchored in Holy Baptism.
“
Baptismal vocation—God’s call via water and the word—is more like the St. Francis project: full of fits and starts, involving countless people, meetings, rumors, truths, lies, uncertainties and (most importantly!) created stuff— water, human flesh, blood, persons, words and the Word sign/cross in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. God’s call in and through Holy Baptism always bears Christ’s cruciform signature in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. God puts his name on the baptismal line.
Our baptismal vocation is as singular and varied as God’s triune name.
”
That’s the wonderful thing: our baptismal vocation is as singular and varied as God’s triune name. In Holy Baptism God’s voice, our call, is like a massive construction project involving countless people, each with a particular task, personality, name, method, dress, condition, character and purpose. The St. Francis workers are a diverse lot: some wear red hats, others blue, and a few white; at least one has yellow. Most sport bright green shirts, but others wear dark green, red or even gray. Most wear long pants, a few have on shorts. Unity does not mean uniformity and, as with the whole church, unity comes not from the workers themselves, but from their common calling, their purpose, and the name. In this issue of our Luther Memorial magazine, we rejoice that at Luther Memorial Church, our calling comes from God through Holy Baptism by means of created stuff for the sake of the life of the world, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. How is God calling you? In Christ Jesus,
The Rev. Franklin Wilson Senior Pastor

VIEW FROM THE BENCH
New! Compline BRUCE BENGTSON | director of music at Luther Memorial Church
New this fall, we are offering a nightly prayer service at Luther Memorial on the second Sunday of each month. Of the number of historic prayer times, matins (morning prayer) and vespers (evening prayer) are more commonly attended by the busy layperson. Compline—“bedtime prayer”—is typically not a convenient time for gathering, especially in our world of far-flung suburbs. It has been in my mind for some time that Luther Memorial is well-placed for compline, not for our members that travel by car, but for the thousands of students that live within walking distance. The inspiration for holding this service at LM comes from the decades-long tradition of weekly compline sung on Sunday evenings at St. Mark Cathedral in Seattle, where hundreds of mostly college-age and even high school youth sit in the shadowy building and listen to the choir sing. In thinking of how to begin such a venture, it seemed wisest to begin with unison singing—Gregorian chant being the logical choice. We have been most fortunate to secure the energetic and talented Jerry Hui, who has led chant courses at the UW, and is thrilled to have a laboratory (if you will!) in which to conduct chant services.
“
Jerry (Chiwei) Hui has written a wide variety of award-winning music ranging from serious concert art music to humorous choral arrangements. His music has been performed nationally and internationally by community choirs, campus ensembles, and professional Christ the Teacher icon accents compline. groups. A native of Hong Kong, Jerry Hui received a doctoral degree in music composition and choral conducting from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Time will tell how this project will unfold, but our second Sunday offering is a beginning, and month by month we will trace its progress. Help spread the word!
I am very grateful
for Luther Memorial’s
initiative to create the compline service. When I participated in Taizé services a few years ago, I was moved by the sanctuary created in music, silence and meditation. I have since longed for the opportunity to be more involved to share that experience, and provide that sacred space for others. The music

of compline, whether it is Gregorian chants in unison or later compositions in polyphony, is exquisite, and there is no better place to bring them alive than at Luther Memorial! It is my privilege to be able to work with many wonderful singers

AMAZING MINISTRY
Mustard Seed Gardeners
Some of the 2012 Mustard Seed Gardeners: (L-R) Marcia Wilson, Jane and Jim Behrens, Mary Powell, Bob and Marsha Steffen. Below: Beth Rahko. Not pictured: Kathy Bell, Barb Luedke, Jay Suthers and Deborah Uecker.
An outdoor ministry program began in 2009 when there was a call to spruce up the gardens. We became known as the Mustard Seed Gardeners (MSG)—various folk from different vocations willing to garden together in a “winnowing and sifting” environment. Garden seed parables are plentiful in the Bible: the mistaken gardener at the tomb, faith the size of a mustard seed that can uproot trees, and the offertory “Gather a harvest from the seeds that were sown” are a few. Our tasks include spring and fall cleanup, planting, weeding, watering, sweeping and changing the urns to reflect the seasons. We report to the Facilities and Renovation Committee and welcome new gardeners to our group. Anyone desiring to participate in the MSG for 2013 may contact the church office.
The MSG never know what or whom they will confront. It might be preschoolers planting, passersby who say how much they admire the gardens, someone asking to help because she is required to do community service or a street person wanting to hold the shovel. Our frequent response is, “Go inside the open doors, and take a look around,” knowing that the first sight they see from the steps is the baptismal font. Through grace, faith alone can justify; yet working in the gardens supplies the proof that faith is living. The lesson I have thoroughly learned and wish to pass on to others is to know the enduring happiness that the love of a garden gives… “The love of gardening is a seed that once sown, never dies.”* * Gertrude Jekyll, Opening Credo from On Gardening (from the files of Esther Taylor)

Sunday School:
Growing together in faith
AMY GRUNEWALD MATTISON | Sunday School coordinator
Like many visitors to Luther Memorial, I remember my first sight of the baptismal font, right in the way of anyone’s path into the nave. Its physical place in our worship space is a bold reminder that we are invited into new life in Christ. For children, a simple dip and sign of the cross is an important way of making faithful connections. My youngest son does not miss a chance at dipping his entire hand in the water and brushing his forehead. But learning just how we live into our life in Christ takes more than a strong reminder in the center aisle. The children of Luther Memorial’s Sunday School explore further what it means to be baptized—whether they have been baptized or not—and follow the way of Christ. We learn together through service, worship and storytelling.
Sunday School teachers: (L–R) Shirley Crary, Kristi Schneider, Laura Guse, Amy Grunewald Mattison, Colleen McConley, Sandy Bertics and Angela Read
In our common gathering, the children worship in song and collect a “noisy” offering. Our first service project will bring awareness to our children of the worldwide Lutheran church, its needs and its gifts. We are raising money to support Caleb Scarlett as he prepares for the 2013 synod youth mission trip to India. In our age-group classes, we read, tell and re-tell while acting out the stories of the Old and New Testaments. When children know the stories of Jesus and Jesus’ ancestors, they begin to see their own way into the stories through their imagination and play. In our modern world with so many competing stimuli striving to capture our children’s imagination, these simple acts of worship, service, and storytelling root our children in the fertile ground of Christian fellowship and faith. Please consider joining us in our service projects or helping out at an upcoming Sunday School event.
“
I see my new coordinator role as a merging of my theological training and the joyous, but humbling, call of being a parent. I hope to foster an educational environment where
children are nurtured in their growth
but
challenged in their understanding of God’s claim on their life. Amy Grunewald Mattison is the Sunday School’s new volunteer coordinator. She is pictured here with her family. 4

Luther Memorial Preschool: SUZANNE DUCHATEAU | Luther Memorial Preschool director
Luther Memorial Preschool has begun its thirteenth year with typical excitement. Both classrooms bustle with energy as students get to know one another, their teachers and the school community. As always, the preschool values learning through creative, hands-on experiences. This is especially true when it comes to visual art, often considered by early childhood experts to be the first universal language. It is wonderful to watch children, as young as 12 months, delight in the cause and effect relationship of crayon to paper. One of our favorite methods of artmaking is through a guided collaborative experience. Here, preschool students work together to create a piece of canvas art or wall mural. The design idea is set forth by the teacher and students. From there the piece evolves over many sessions. These collaborative art pieces take time
Art lessons
to create, in small groups or with students working one-on-one with a teacher. Preschool students have created several beautiful collaborative canvases that grace our school walls. Some pieces have been given to school volunteers or auctioned at fundraisers. Each final piece is claimed by all the students and incorporates their creativity and contributions as a whole. This sense of contributing to something greater than ourselves is an important part of learning at Luther Memorial Preschool. As each of us is
part of the preschool, we are also part of the church and part of the Madison community. Through this wide sense of belonging we learn to listen to one another and to respect one another. Big life lessons really can start at a very tender age.
Luther Memorial Preschool offers flexible scheduling for ages 2–5. To learn more or to arrange a tour, please contact Suzanne at 258-3168 or duchataeu@luthermem.org. Visit Luther Memorial Preschool online at www.luthermem.org/preschool.
Suzanne Du Chateau is beginning her second year as director of the preschool. Prior to this role, she taught in the older classroom for four years. In addition to her time spent at Luther Memorial, she has more than a decade of early childhood teaching experience. Born and raised in Minneapolis, Suzanne came to Madison to pursue bachelor degrees in education and art at UW-Madison. She and her husband, JJ, now live in Madison and have two daughters, Margot (8) and Elise (6)—both proud Luther Memorial Preschool alumni!

Outside of school, she loves to garden, paint, run and hang out with family and friends. She coaches her daughter’s running team through “Girls on the Run,” and is training for her second marathon, which she hopes to incorporate into a fundraiser for the preschool.

Voc beyond
Questions frame vocation.
God’s call comes in the form of a
question: “Adam, where are you?” From the beginning, God calls Adam and Eve. In the water and Word of Holy Baptism, we believe God calls us. God’s call evokes questions. We see and hear a few of them on these pages. Perhaps they are your questions. Perhaps you have others of your own. Ask them. Baptism beckons a question: What does this mean? Baptized into Christ’s death and resurrection, God calls us. We live our baptismal call through service in daily life. Put another way, baptism is the nexus, the convergent point, in which, out of which, through which we understand the purpose—the calling or vocation—of our life in Christ for the sake of the world. “Vocation” bears “voice” within it, the voice that calls and sends, the voice of the master, the voice of God, the viva

vox Dei—the living voice of God is none
other than Christ himself, God’s creative
Word. As at the dawn of creation, so also
in baptism, the Spirit moves over the face
of the waters and God’s living voice speaks, names, calls, and sends the church—all the baptized—into the world to serve. The Spirit calls us to serve Christ by serving others. There may be few, if any, limits on how and who Christians serve, though the manner or character of that
service will often if not always be relational and evocative of terms like cooperative, collaborative, collegial, compassionate, coordinative and colliberative. Baptism frames our vocation with questions. What

FACT OR FOLKLORE
Sometimes… Why is it sometimes so hard to understand our maker, comforter and Savior? Even our Lord, when he prayed, often got up early, went outdoors into the quiet, or in Gethsemane apart by himself, and prayed long. When God spoke to young Samuel, it took hourly repetitions and eventual prompting by Eli before he began to grasp who it was calling him. Even when our Lord clearly announces himself, as to Paul on the road to Emmaus, Paul hears only a question—and spent the rest of his life discovering and telling its meaning. Today we have the whole church and its long tradition to help us and our own congregation with its sacraments, pastors, teachers, fellow members, and the ambience of stained glass, carved altar, gatherings and activities—great gifts, all of them. Yet churches have their own moments in Gethsemane, too. Knowing a few such moments in our church’s past may help us to endure—to rejoice in— such moments in our own lives. Until the Civil War, Madison was still a very small town in a mostly empty territory stretching to the Rocky Mountains and the Canadian border; most of its residents came from New England, all speaking English, and virtually none of them were Lutheran. After the Civil War, immigrants came to the U.S. in huge numbers, mostly from Germany and Scandinavia, and by the 1880 census, two thirds of Madison citizens were found to be foreign born adults and their children. The few Lutheran churches in the town conducted services only in German or a Scandinavian language. In 1891, an attempt to introduce English services in Madison failed. A more vigorous attempt in 1907 resulted in a small congregation of 35 adults with services all in English, which came in time to be Luther Memorial. Yet that small congregation, meeting first in various rented locations soon built a modest building (now the Church Key

It grew in the midtwentieth century to greater membership than before, then shrank again as new neighborhood Lutheran churches began to sprout throughout a much larger city.

Bar), and then in 1921 broke ground for the largest church at that time in Madison. Could the 35 people gathered in 1907 in a family home have foreseen that? Or could Luther Memorial, in its grand new church (and correspondingly high debt) have foreseen that just six years later the Great Depression would decimate the congregation and threaten it with a bankruptcy sale of its building? It was saved from 8

VIEW FROM THE PEW
Finding a vocation is a vocation When thinking on vocation and the Church, the idea of a “calling” often surfaces. Personally, the fear of not finding my calling or missing out on God’s plan for me has been terrifying, particularly since being shoved into the icy depths of the working world. I’ve been adjusting to the water since graduating from UW in May; trying to balance lifelong aspirations, skills, a desire to serve and the crucial factor of financial reality. I earned my fair share of job rejections, tried teaching in inner city Chicago, and landed back here in Madison working in an occupation I had never heard of before.
Quintessential of my generation, I am wading through the wide-open post-collegiate waters. Not completely unlike crying infants, my generation is being baptized into a new life. It’s no sacrament, but I’ve seen tears at this stage as well. This baptismal symbolism is comforting. Baptism should remind us that every day and every stage is a fresh opportunity to begin life again serving God. Splashing water on a crying baby in lace may not bring forth thoughts of vocation. But daily we are blessed with opportunities to live out our baptism in Christ like it’s our job.

“We lay on the sweets heavy in my family,” says Heather Brown as she arranges carrot spice muffins on a platter. Heather, the newest addition to the Lutheran Campus Center (LCC) staff, was hired as part of the LCC’s outreach, welcoming college students with food and a bit of the comfort of home.
When a child is baptized at Luther Memorial, I usually hum along. I hummed with the organ during my own baptism. The joyous ceremony reminds me of the daily opportunity to be baptized and begin life with a clean slate. Each Sunday is a chance to reflect on our baptism into a life with Christ working on us. Try humming along. JAMIE STARK is an associate member of Luther Memorial and a recent graduate of UWMadison, where he majored in journalism and political science. He has written about Luther Memorial and religious institutions across Madison for Isthmus.
“Food is part of love.”
Heather moved to Madison this summer from Brooklyn, New York. She’s no stranger to the Midwest, with family in Iowa and roots in Monroe and Middleton, Wisconsin. She attended Hamline University, in St. Paul, Minn. In college, Heather believed her path lay in music, which led to her move out East where music opportunities were more numerous. Over time, though, she found music just wasn’t where her heart was. Her father gave her good advice at that time, saying “Notice the moments you have flow, when you are not distracted from what you’re doing.” Heather found that her times of “flow” were invariably in the kitchen. “When in the kitchen, I wasn’t thinking about anything else than what I was doing. And I was happy,” Heather recalls. She attended the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts. She learned, and believes, that food is nourishing and nurturing. For Heather, that belief fits well with the LCC’s focus on hospitality, its mission to serve students without expectation of return. “The LCC is a home away from home for students, and food ties into that,” she says, adding, “Food is part of love.” Heather’s baked goods are available in the LCC lounge on weekday mornings and fresh from the oven on Tuesdays and Fridays.

BOOK REVIEW
POETRY
Leading Lives that Matter: What We Should Do and Who We Should Be
Pantoum
Mark R. Schwehn and Dorothy C. Bass, editors This is an ambitious anthology. The title alone is daunting. Yet, to our benefit, the grand questions it proposes are never directly answered. Instead, the editors designed the collection so that the distinct voices of over 40 writers are heard on themes of work, relationships (on and off the job) and a “good” and meaningful life. What allows the concept to work is that the voice of the individual writer/poet/dramatist is unmediated, though there’s often a brief introduction for additional context. The chapters are comprised of excerpts from larger works and are organized by way of key questions. In this way a reader can dip in at any point and read something thought provoking. Take the question “Should I follow my talents as I decide what to do to earn a living?” Speaking to and around it are James Baldwin through Sonny’s Blues, Immanel Kant in Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals, and screenwriters Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in the film Good Will Hunting. The best part of the book is how it ends—with the complete text of Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilych. While it seemed an odd addition (everything else was an excerpt) it is a story told with Tolstoy’s eye for cinematic detail. A Russian attorney who has lived in strict compliance with all that is proper and right experiences emotional collapse and anguish when he unexpectedly becomes ill. Though he’s surrounded by family, he is dying alone, as his relationship with his wife and children had died long before. “Maybe I did not live as I ought to have done,” it suddenly occurred to him. “But how could that be, when I did everything properly?”
Like the anger of sparrows I become my own shadow, Birdlike in the father’s bosom, Where faith is conceived. I am a shadow Gone, but still here. Faith’s conception – A moon hiding behind trees. When you are gone We talk about the man, Like the moon, hiding In the dark. Tell me about the man Crushed by what doesn’t remain In the darkness… light, More beauty than burden. Crushed things do not remain Birdlike; the father’s bosom, More beauty than burden: Like the anger of sparrows.
What we do for work and who we are in relationships matters—for reasons that are both uniquely personal and deeply important for the communities of which we are part. This book, while a bit too eclectic at times, provides a framework for gauging where we are.

Appalachia Service Project & Habitat for Humanity Volunteer work crews from Luther Memorial have been busy repairing and building homes for struggling families. In June, twelve youth and eleven adults returned to Kentucky as part of the Appalachia Service Project to help build a wheel chair ramp, lay a roof, and repair an addition. In July, eighteen church members volunteered at a Madison build site as part of Habitat for Humanity in Dane County. Luther Memorial has been a part of Habitat since 2006 and part of ASP since 1992.

trip, a sense of gratitude and anticipation for the work ahead filled my heart. For the second summer, we (our mom-son team) would travel to Kentucky with a group from Luther Memorial, aware that the gifts we would receive from those we helped would far outweigh the hard work. I witnessed so many acts of kindness and compassion, as all worked together. How blessed I felt to be a part of this and to share it with my son, Joe, and the volunteers and families who became friends. After returning to Madison, we joined the Habitat for Humanity work group and again were reminded how we are all connected to one another and how serving others is serving God.

The experience of helping folks who truly need it is an honor. It is a great journey because it’s not just one-way. Even though we are working hard, we receive so much from the people in Appalachia: a feeling of fulfillment that puts life into perspective and helps us find ourselves. This trip gives us a chance to stand back and really appreciate all that we have.

The Road Home
At the back door. Four times a year, a crew from Luther Memorial gathers behind the church to unload beds from The Road Home truck. The beds are taken up to the the third floor Sunday School rooms where volunteers set up temporary living quarters for families in transition. At week’s end, they return the beds to the truck. Over 100 volunteers take part during each LM hosting week. The Road Home ministry is a community network of congregations that provide transitional housing in an effort to combat homelessness. The next hosting week is November 11–18.
