 St. Paul's E-pistle
|
| November 11, 2016
This Sunday, November 13th 26th Sunday after Pentecost The end is near. There is no doubt about it. The warnings are dire. The tone of today's texts is ominous. But the baptized know how to live in the "meantimes." The baptized are strengthened for the living of these days in word and sacrament. The baptized rally around the invitation of the apostle: "Brothers and sisters, do not be weary in doing what is right."
Holy Communion - 11 AM All are welcome to receive Communion!
Sunday's Readings: Malachi 4:1-2a Psalm 98 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13 Luke 21:5-19
Sunday's chancel flowers: are given to the glory of God John and Anita Patten in honor of Iris Patten's 1st Birthday.

Commemorations for the Week:
Clement, Bishop of Rome, died around 100 Wednesday, November 23, 2016 Clement was the third bishop of Rome. He is best remembered for a letter he wrote to the congregation in Corinth, still struggling with the same problems that led to Paul's letters to them. As did Paul, he focused on the need for love among Christians.
Miguel Agustín Pro, martyr, died 1927 Wednesday, November 23, 2016 Pro grew up in a time when the Mexican revolutionaries accused the church of siding with the wealthy. He became a Jesuit priest, and worked on behalf of the poor and homeless. Falsely accused of throwing a bomb at a government official, he was executed, but not before crying out "Long live Christ the King!"
Justus Falckner, died 1723; Jehu Jones, died 1852; William Passavant, died 1894; pastors in North America Thursday, November 24, 2016 Not only was Falckner the first Lutheran ordained in North America, but he published a catechism which was the first Lutheran book published on the continent. Jones was the Lutheran church's first African American pastor and carried out missionary work in Philadelphia which led to the formation there of the first African American Lutheran congregation (St. Paul's). William Passavant helped to establish hospitals and orphanages in a number of cities and was the first to introduce deaconesses to the work of hospitals in the United States. Isaac Watts, hymnwriter, died 1748 Friday, November 25, 2016 Thought by many to be the greatest hymnwriter in the English language, Watts as a youth was critical of the quality of the metrical psalter of the time. He wrote about 600 hymns-many based on the psalms, but others that are not. |
