Advent Taize Service with Labyrinth
Peace is an elusive experience for most of us. It is hard to know
what it is, let alone how to find it.
During the busy season of Advent, when we all need to slow
down and find some peace, we invite you on Tuesday, December 1
to a special Taize service at 7:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. We
will be using the traditional service from Taize, France along with
an opportunity to walk our labyrinth.
Taize worship can best be described as a meditative prayer service where we sing uncomplicated, repetitive songs allowing the
mystery of God to become tangible through the beauty of simplicity. They express a basic reality of faith that can be quickly grasped
and penetrates the soul.
A labyrinth is a meditation tool that consists of a walkable single line path and can be a source of solace and comfort. It can be
used as a creative or spiritual tool. At its most basic level the labyrinth is a metaphor for the journey to the center of your deepest
self and back out into the world with a broadened understanding
of who you are and how God is with you. The labyrinth has helped
many to discover spiritual meaning or find inspiration.
We hope the evening leads you on the pathway to peace as you
journey with Christ this Advent season and beyond. No matter
what else you are preparing for this busy time of year, prepare a
way to come home and find some peace.

Musings
Will there be room?
Pr. Daniel Morris
Swimming in darkness,
A beating heart,
Unsteady hoof beats,
There is no room.
Emperor Augustus,
Royal decree,
“Go to your home town.”
There is no room.
Out on a journey,
Homeland behind,
God goes before them,
There is no room.
Travel worn strangers,
Tired in soul,
Loadbearing donkey,
There is no room.
Many the travelers,
Few are the inns,
Rest for the stranger,
There is no room.
Feet that are aching,
Backs that are sore,
Baby is kicking,
There is no room.
Centuries later,
Syria burns,
People are fleeing,
Will there be room?
A stable will do,
Refuge at last,
Water is breaking,
There is no room.
Lawmakers quarrel,
Out goes the cry,
“Protect your homeland!”
Will there be room?
Hours of labor,
No end in sight,
Exhaustion sets in,
There is no room.
Soldiers are marching,
Borders are closed,
Hope is departing,
There is no room.
The head is crowning,
Out comes the rest,
Breathing the stable,
There is no room.
Across the ocean,
Liberty calls,
“Give me your masses!”
Will there be room?
Herod is threatened,
Kill all the boys,
Strangers are fleeing,
There is no room.
Governors rejecting,
No Muslims, please,
Wait, no refugees,
Is there no room?
Egyptians welcome,
Christ Child is safe,
Grows into manhood,
Room at the last.
Christ in the stranger,
They are his friends,
We welcome Jesus,
Will there be room?

Worship and Music
Longest Night Service
The Advent and Christmas seasons are billed as joyous times when
we celebrate the coming of the Christ
child with family and friends, giving
gifts and partaking in meaningful
holiday traditions.
But for many in our midst, the
holidays are not always joyful. For
many the holidays are reminders of
brokenness and grief. In this season,
we are acutely aware of the pain of
losing friends or family, of the hurt
we feel in our broken relationships
and of the uncertainty we feel due to
the loss of health or employment.
The Longest Night service is a
special service of hope and healing
for all those experiencing pain in this
holiday season. The service gives us
the opportunity to face the darkness,
lament for our pains and the pains of
the world and explore the hope that
the light of Christ offers us even in
the midst of our brokenness and
pain.
St. Timothy’s Longest Night service will be Saturday, Dec. 19 at
the 5 p.m. worship service. All are
welcome to attend this quiet evening
of song, prayer, scripture and communion. We encourage you to invite
those people in your lives who might
need a word of gentle hope and healing in this season.
Help Decorate the
Church for Christmas
Christmas Music
Our choirs are busy preparing
to share the news of Christ’s birth.

-1330) if you are interested in singing with the choirs during the
Christmas season.

The sign-up sheet for poinsettias
is in the narthex. The cost is $15
each. Fifteen plants have been ordered, so there are a limited number
available. They may be taken home
after the 10:00 p.m. service on
Christmas Eve.
Altar flower signup
The new chart to signup for 2016
altar flowers is on the back wall of
the narthex. Have flowers placed on
the altar to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, in memory of loved ones,
or any special occasion!
Arrangements are $35 and yours to

Here We Come a
Caroling

Faith Development
Save the date– Women’s retreat,
Feb. 20, 2016
Imagine what your life would be like without worry. It's not too good
to be true! Join us for a day of encouragement and practical help for overcoming the anxiety that accompanies your worries about your children,
friends, spouse, work, life. Using the book Calm My A nxious Heart by
Linda Dillow as our guide, we will discover what the Bible says about
contentment and ways to apply it to our daily lives. Fellowship, faith,
food, quiet … you're already feeling a little less stressed just thinking
about a day away, aren't you? We look forward to seeing you in February!
Watch for details in the coming months. To help the planning committee,
please contact Abbey Henderson at [email protected]
The Wednesday
Women's Bible
study will meet December 2, 9

texts in The Messiah focusing on the
Christmas section. Music will definitely be part of our discussion!
Join us for any one, or all three
sessions. No childcare is available
for this class. Questions? Call Vicki
Oftedal at 630-362-2087.
St. Tim’s Bridge Communities
family update
Dear Friends,
Thanks to all who supported Sleep Out Saturday with contributions for
Bridge Communities. As you know, St. Timothy is sponsoring a young woman and her three year old son through the Bridge program. With our prayers,
our financial contributions, and our mentorship team, St. Timothy is helping
them to avoid homelessness by becoming self-sufficient.
Holiday gifts for the family will be greatly appreciated. The little boys’
Christmas wishes are part of the Giving Tree. His mother would very much
like gift cards to any of the following: Marshall’s, Ross, Burlington Coat Factory, Footlocker, Victoria’s Secret, Target, and Walmart. With your Christmas
help, her budget will go farther for months to come.
Thank you all for helping Bridge Communities in its efforts to combat
homelessness. We can never repeat often enough that our efforts can positively affect a family for generations.
Have a blessed and merry Christmas!
Your Bridge Communities mentor team.

Social Ministry
Thoughts for Alternative Giving
Our challenge as people of faith is to make meaningful choices about where we
spend our time, energy and money in a world that becomes more commercial with
each passing holiday season. Our faith asks us to appreciate the season’s emphasis
on giving, but to make different choices about how we and how much we give. We
have several alternative giving opportunities at St. Timothy this year. Give in more
meaningful ways and honor the gift of Christ who is given for the sake of the world.
Giving Tree gifts for LSSI: The Giving Tr ee table is up and in full swing. This
is where the congregation agrees to shop for 150 foster children connected with Lutheran Social Services of Ilinois. There are specific instructions on the table next to the names. Please pick up names of
one or more children to shop for. Some are older and just ask for a gift card. The gifts should all be returned to church by
Sunday, December 14. This is a valuable ministry we provide to these children. It is important that no child is left out.
To help with this ministry or ask questions, please call Julie Loos at (630-778-0641).
Bridge Communities rent donations: Donate r ent money to suppor t homeless families thr ough Br idge Communities. Your donations help St. Timothy to continue our partnership with this important ministry, which costs St. Timothy
about $880 per month. Christmas Giving Tree rent donations will be accepted until Dec. 24.
Sleep out Saturday
On Saturday, November 7, 13 of our members (photo below) slept in freezing temperatures to raise money for Bridge Communities. We began the night
with dinner and a presentation by Barb Schneider and Scott Merrihew, two of
our Bridge mentors, who work with the family sponsored by St. Timothy. We
made a banner, played a survival game which challenged us to think about
how we can share our resources, had campfire devotions and watched a movie
about homelessness. With your support, we raised over $1,800. Donations are
still coming in! Half of this money will go to the larger Bridge Communities
organization and half will help the family
our congregation sponsors.
Thank you for your ongoing financial
support of this ministry. Your generosity
makes a difference. A special thank you to
our mentors (Brita DiTola, Dave Katschke,
Scott Merrihew, Barb Schneider) whose
ongoing work benefits the family we sponsor, our food team who provided snacks
and two delicious meals and our sleeper
team who spent the night in the cold.

Young at Heart
Please
join us for
our monthly
Young at
Heart luncheon on
Thursday,
December 17
as we celebrate the holiday season. Following
lunch at noon, we will gather together to celebrate the season with music
from Kate Andrade, and Pr. Daniel
Please notify the church office by
Monday, Dec. 14 (630-355-1330) if
you plan to attend.
This is a wonderful way to get
into the Christmas spirit, and we
look forward to seeing you there.
Join Dinners for Eight
It's that time of year again, time for Dinners for Eight! Many of you may
already be in a Dinners for Eight group, others of you may have belonged to
one in the past that no longer meets, and still others have probably heard about
it and have thought it would be fun to join. Whatever the case, now is your
chance to be a part of it! Here's what it's all about:
•We match you up in groups of eight.
•Couples and singles are encouraged to join.
•Your group decides the dates and how often you meet.
•Your group decides whether you'll have dinner at restaurants or in homes
where the host home rotates, or a little of both!
We will have a kickoff potluck dinner in late January or early February in
the Fellowship Hall where you'll meet your group and have a chance to get to
know each other and plan your first Dinners for Eight date and location. Those
who have done it in the past will tell you that many lasting friendships and
memories have formed from getting to know others over these fun evenings at
dinner!
A sign up sheet and more information will be in the Narthex starting in
January. We hope that many of you will join us in 2016 for this fun fellowship
opportunity!
Children’s sermon series for Advent
Everyone has a birthday, including Jesus! Join us as we plan Jesus' birthday
during the children's sermon every Sunday morning in Advent at the 10:30
a.m. worship service.
Each week we will plan one part of Jesus' birthday, and the children will
receive a party favor to help them remember what they did that week. The big
celebration will take place on Christmas Eve at 4:30 p.m.

Around St. Timothy
Can you help with Mill Street Cares?
Mill Street Cares is a wonderful program that offers food assistance to
families in need at Mill Street Elementary, our neighbor across the street.
The St. Timothy family generously donated food and money for Mill Street
Cares this year for use during spring break, led by confirmation student
Luke Boelke.
This Christmas season, St. Timothy is again partnering with Mill Street
Elementary to help families in need during the upcoming break from
school, Dec. 23—Jan. 6.
With donations from members of our congregation, we hope to be able
to help 25 families in need feed their children breakfast and lunch, the meals
that the children normally receive at school when it is in session. Donations
can be dropped off at St. Timothy in the "Mill Street Cares" bins no later
than Sunday, December 13. The Sunday School and High School kids at St.
Timothy will organize and package the food on Sunday, 12/20, during Sunday School to be shared with Mill Street Elementary on 12/21, in time for
winter break.
Some suggested items for donation:
Canned/cups of fruit
Peanut butter
Canned vegetables
Jelly (plastic bottles)
Applesauce
Canned tuna or chicken
Soup
Macaroni & Cheese
Pasta and pasta sauce
Snacks (crackers, pretzels, nuts, cookies,
etc.)
Raisins
Cereal/breakfast bars
Oatmeal
Monetary donations (checks should be written to Mill Street Elementary
school) and gift cards for Jewel, or Fresh Thyme Farmers Market will also
be accepted. These will be used to purchase bread and small amounts of
fresh produce to purchase the day the backpacks go home.
Thrivent Action Team
Thank you to Scott and Susie Merrihew, who are forming a Thrivent
Action Team which will help offset costs and provide seed money for Mill
Street Cares. Thrivent Financial Action Teams provide financial support to
help offset the costs of social ministry and educational programs. Thank
you also to Fresh Thyme Farmers Market which donated grocery bags.
If each of us contributes a little, we can help a LOT! Please donate food
for our neighbors in need. Thank you!
Look in the Adult Fiction section
of our library for the Zion Chronicles series by Bodie and Brock Thoene. The books in this series are recognized by the American Library
Association and Zionist libraries
around the world as classic historical
novels and have been used to teach
history in college classrooms.
There is plenty of drama in the
series, which covers the events surrounding Israel's statehood in 1948.
Each book in the WWII setting is
filled with characters that are rich
and believable. The pages are filled
with tragedy and laughter, pain and
joy, the dramatic and the ordinary.
The novels vividly portray the intense struggle of the Jewish people
in the aftermath of the Holocaust and
the forces, within and without,
which engulf the Middle East in conflict and controversy even today.
Will there ever be peace in Zion?
The Jewish people wonder as they
stream into the British Mandate of
Palestine after the devastation of
World War II: What has happened to
God's promises to their nation?
These classics are suitable for individual use and group discussion.
