AS THE SPIRIT MOVES ME….. The staff of St. John Church brings you prayers and wishes for a joyous and meaningful Advent-Christmas season. May God’s love for you in Jesus Christ, and Christ Himself, be born anew in you in this season. May the hope that is ours in Jesus Christ give you confidence and promise in whatever trials and difficulties you face. May gladness and joy fill your spirit for God coming to you, and our world, in Jesus Christ and for His presence in your life. MERRY CHRISTMAS! †

As the thoughts of Christmas day and our celebration of God’s birth in our world in Jesus Christ begin to occupy my mind and fill my planning for the next few weeks, I am drawn to all the demands this season places on each of us. One of those demands I find more and more challenging, every year, is the tradition of gift-giving and receiving. We want to give expression to the depth of our love and bring joy to others, and gifts can do that; but, remember, they are not a substitute for the love, itself. I remember my children, and myself in much earlier years, laying on the living room floor in front of the fireplace going through the J C Penney and Sears Christmas catalogs, as we turned the pages of those “Wish Books.” Doing the same with a laptop computer just doesn’t bring me as much meaning and joy. It’s also much more difficult for me to create a list of gifts for family to buy me, now. My needs and wants are much fewer in life, now. 3
Some of that is because I am blessed with so much in life. I’ve accumulated much in my life. In many ways, too much. Some of which just clutters the closets and basement. I’m also at a stage in my life when I can afford to buy what I need. So making a list for others is difficult. Yet, as I pause to think of it, I do know, deep in my heart and soul, what I truly need for Christmas. I need the gift of Christ’s forgiveness for my sins, past and present. Living with the guilt and anger that builds within my heart and spirit - and alienates and separates me from God and others - is always too much to bear. I need the love of God, others and self, without which I have no self-esteem, no compassion for others, no generosity of spirit, and no connection with others. I need the gift of humility to insure against arrogance, selfglorification, too much self-satisfaction, and falling into the trap of believing my way is always right and best. I need the gift of Christ’s peace and joy, reconciliation with God and others, the inspiration and energy to love and serve others as Christ loves and serves me, and the gift of knowing and living my salvation and life in Jesus Christ. These, and the other gifts from God and my faith in God that I have not named here, are what I truly need this Christmas. In this season, I need and want to remember that they are the most important gifts of this season, and will come only from God in Jesus Christ and those who carry His love and spirit in their hearts and lives. May you know and receive the same.

KEVIN’S KORNER… This past month Kirsten and I attended the National Youth Workers Convention in Dallas Texas. We spent several days attending workshops and worshiping with several thousand youth workers. It was a great time of learning, planning and worship. The main message I returned with was, be more like Jesus. Jesus wasn’t “busy”. Today’s culture pushes us to fill every minute of the day with something. This often leaves us unavailable to tend to our spiritual needs. When was the last time you were still, with God, just breathing, reveling in your existence? Most of just can’t. The kids need a ride here and have some sporting event they need to attend there. I often find myself trying to figure out where I can place that next ministry program. Honestly, I never think about finding a quiet place to just be with God, reflecting, contemplating, and breathing in His life. Life’s chaotic pace has brought me to this place we all find ourselves in, this place called “busy”. Jesus was never too busy. If I’m truly trying to be more like Christ, I need to pursue being available to God. Seeking God’s guidance and love. Why can’t I just exist for a time? Just sit in the stillness and quiet. I’ve written several months of tidings articles and the theme has been repeated where I say I need to take time. Rest, Recharge, only to return to the chaos of “busy”? Today I’m seeking God’s guidance in my pursuit of being available, spiritually, mentally and physically. I want to be more like Christ, Never Too Busy. Merry Christmas Kevin T. Eckert Director of Children & Youth Ministries Director of Technologies Ministry

LAYCARE MINISTRY I have a “Motto” framed on my desk - Part of it goes somewhat like this….. “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely - we should arrive with our bodies thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO - WHAT A RIDE!” We have a group of people so committed to our church and our ministry and our St. John members that , in the end, all will shout WOO HOO - WHAT A RIDE! So I say ‘thank you’ to all of the members of this ministry who are so willing to make hospital calls, home visits, home communion visits, send cards, take our members shopping, or drive someone to visit a family member in a hospital in another city and spread the healing love of God to our community. “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace and good will among all people.” MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Boy Scouts Troup #4 Request: Scout Troup #4 will be purchasing a new trailer. We will be looking into the insurance issues related to this as far as coverage of trailer and contents, liability and cost of coverage. Sunday Fellowship Hour: There was discussion relating to the value of keeping Fellowship Hall and the Narthex both available for coffee hour after the morning service. Some people find it awkward to stand and prefer to have a place to sit at a table for their coffee and cookies. We will make it clearer to everyone that the Chapel Hearth is available with chairs and tables for those who prefer that. We are still looking at the flow and how people are feeling about the new arrangement and use of these spaces. We welcome feedback. All Ministry Meeting: This group met for the first time on 20
November 4 at 11:30 am. It was well attended. There was a suggestion to identify the Ministry Chairpersons at the beginning of the meeting but keeping “introductions� brief, being mindful of the length of the meeting It was discussed that the classes that normally meet after morning service will need to reschedule their time so that the All Ministry Meeting can begin sooner. The next All Ministry Meeting will be February 3, 2013 at 10:45 am. Heat in Parking Lot Entrance Area: Keith reported that Building & Grounds is looking into bringing the heaters back up to functioning mode and having them work on timers set for Sunday mornings. The coatracks will be moved into the Fellowship Hall when necessary. Keith also reported that one of the boilers has sprung a leak. It is still covered under warranty, but the company needs to examine the faulty part. It has been sent to them, they will evaluate it and contact us. Agenda Item from August Meeting: Discussion tabled from August meeting about a bonus or other compensation for staff. The Policy Manual specifically prohibits any kind of bonus. Adjournment: Motion to adjourn by Ulan Price, Ben Lee 2nd. Motion carried. Adjourned with Mizpah Benediction. Respectfully submitted, Deb Hartman Council Secretary
