Circuit Rider - November 2009


How The Protestant Reformation Began

On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted Ninety-Five Theses on the Castle Church in Wittenburg, Germany. They are widely regarded as the primary catalyst for the Protestant Reformation. Church doors at the time functioned very much as bulletin boards. It made a lot of sense to post them then since October 31 is the day before All Saints Day when everyone would be in church.

I have included the first of the Ninety Five Theses. It takes a background of history to understand how these statements were received at that time. Let me say that many rebuked what He said but many also agreed and as a result the Protestant Reformation began. We United Methodist's are part of the result or product of the posting of these Theses.

1st Theses: Our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, when He said Poenitentiam agite, willed that the whole life of believers should be repentance.

Counseling Corner - November 2009

Sometimes, we may think, that God is not hearing our prayers. It seems as if things are getting worse instead of better. I took a course a few years back on Prayer Counseling. I remember them saying the same thing. It is so difficult for us to be patient and wait upon the Lord.

Polly Wigglesworth is a woman from whose life we can learn patience and faith. Many of us have probably heard of Smith Wigglesworth a simple plumber who ended up being a great man for God. He had accepted the Lord early in his life, but had backslidden and became a drunk. His wife Polly was a faithful Christian woman. Smith told Polly during one of his raging that if she went to church he would lock her out for the night. Even though she knew she might also face a beating, she fled to church.

MARTY LYONS FOUNDATION
TOYS FOR TOTS

Once again, St. Paul's will reach out to this organization in their efforts to collect toys. This Foundation holds a Christmas party for children in the hospital, who are suffering from life-threatening illnesses and their siblings. Last year we provided them with over 200 gifts and this year we hope to accomplish the same success. You will soon see a box in the Narthex and another by Norcross Hall for any small toys you wish to donate. The children really do enjoy the gifts, as they cannot go home during the Holidays, and we all know of the financial burden that being in the hospital can occur.

CHANCEL CHOIR CHRISTMAS CANTATA
&
CHRISTMAS CONCERT BAND

St. Paul's Chancel Choir and Christmas Concert Band will present their Christmas cantata and concert on December 19 and 20, Saturday and Sunday nights, at 7:30 PM.

The Chancel Choir will present "A Christmas Invitation" by David Clydesdale. It is a great cantata that will be just the right start to your Christmas holiday. It invites all to come and celebrate "the day that Joy came to our world". "A Christmas Invitation" will touch hearts with the timeless message of God's love through Christ's birth. We are led through the musical by two narrators and pageantry that tell the story of Jesus' birth. Besides the beautiful singing of our Chancel Choir there are solos, duets, trios, and a show-stopping children's/youth number as well. Many Christmas carols are woven throughout the musical and a congregational sing-a-long is featured at the finale. It is a stirring musical inviting us to "come just as we are to the Savior".

Youth News - November 2009

As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share..."

- Paul (in 1 Timothy 6.17-18; ESV)

I'm not so sure what "rich" looked like when Paul wrote this letter to a young pastor in the first century, but I did have an idea of what that looks like in our day: big mansions, fancy cars, luxurious forms of dining and entertainment, etc. And while these are all obvious descriptions of what it means to be "rich in this present age," a few years ago I was challenged by the idea that being "rich" might include a lot more than what I once considered.
