The Open Door - Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church
The Open Door Publisher: Immanuel Lutheran Church Volume No.39 Francis of Assisi Sunday, October 4th is the day in the church year that Francis of Assisi (1182-1226)is commemorated. He was the son of a wealthy cloth merchant and in a confrontation with his father, he renounced his inheritance and devoted himself to serving the poor. Francis had a spirit of gladness and gratitude for all of God’s creation. This day has been a traditional time to bless pets and animals, creature he called his brothers and sisters. As part of our worship on October 4th, you are invited to name your pet aloud during the petition blessing all animals during the Prayer of the Church. Are you ready to join us for some football? On Sunday, October 4th, the Buffalo Bills are planning on beating the New York Giants. We will join in the celebration by getting together in the church parking lot for a tailgate party starting at 12:30. Televisions will be set up in the fellowship hall so we can watch the game together at 1. Please sign up (on the bulletin board in the lower hallway) or email us at [email protected] letting us know how many will attend and how many hot dogs, hamburgers and/or sausage by Wednesday, September 30th. We ask that you bring your own place settings and a dish to pass. Attention ladies of Immanuel! On Saturday, October 24, 2015, there is a Women's' Retreat! Pastor Imani Dodley will lead us in a discussion about Martha and Mary. The day will begin at 9:00 am. Breakfast and lunch will be served. If you have any questions, contact Leslie Schwartz at 265-9229. Issue No. 10 October 2015 Corn Maze Youth from the churches of the Genesee Finger Lakes Conference will be getting together on Saturday October 24th for a spaghetti dinner and a trip to the Corn Maze at the Long Acre Farms in Macedon.

Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church celebrates the Festival of the Reformation on Sunday, October 25th. On this Sunday we remember the faithful efforts of Martin Luther and other church reformers of the 16th century. We give thanks to God for their ministry as they called the church back to a Biblical faith in God’s loving and free gift of grace. We also pray for the continuing, ongoing reformation of the church. Red is the color for this festival day. We invite you to wear red to church on Reformation Day, October 25th, as part of this celebration. The Property Committee is hosting an outside fall clean up on Saturday, October 31, 2015, 9:00am until 12:00pm. Refreshments served. Plant trimming, raking, and west side of parking lot foliage removal. Use the posted signup sheet to select your task. Peace, Ron Nohe, Property Chairperson 2 Fearless Generosity Ephesians 3:20-21 “ Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” These encouraging words from the apostle Paul are truly words of blessing. God is able to do far more abundantly than anything we are able to ask or even think about asking for. And perhaps even more amazingly, God chooses to work through us to accomplish more than we can imagine. On October 18th we kick off this year’s Stewardship Emphasis “Fearless Generosity”. Although we talk and think about stewardship all year it is important to take some extra time to focus on such an important part of our relationship with God, our Church, and Community. We hope to continue our discussions and thoughts on becoming more faithful stewards as we explore what it means to practice Fearless Living, Fearless Sowing, Fearless Service, Fearless Giving Each week we will focus on one of these concepts during worship in creative and inviting ways. We hope that you will be present each week and then on Saturday, November 14th or Sunday, November 15th as we gather to present our commitments of giving in support of the ministry and mission to which we are called as members of Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church’s congregation. On Saturday, November 14th there is a Celebration Dinner and on Sunday November 15th we will gather in Church. Hear the Pennies Dropping As a reminder of Fearless giving we would like to follow the example of the Widow by dropping 2 pennies in the offering plate each Sunday during Church and at Sunday School. We encourage you to bring them from home but if you forget we will have some pennies available at each entrance to Church. Luke 21: 1-4 “He looked up and saw rich people putting their gifts into the treasury; he also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them; for all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.” In your personal prayers and as you gather in fellowship with others, please remember to invite God’s guidance through this special emphasis. May Paul’s prayer for the church at Ephesus be our prayer as we begin this exciting time of exploring how God is calling us to be fearless givers and fearless stewards – as individuals and as a community of faith. In Christian fellowship, Your Stewardship Committee: Mike Herrman, Joan Frank, Wendy Cannon, Bernie Russell, Lori Derleth, & Chad Weisensel. For the first three Sundays in October our gospel readings will be coming from Mark 10. This is a hard-hitting chapter where Jesus takes on lots of tough issues. Our readings will cover the areas of divorce, money, and people who strive to be great. There’s something there to impact every one of us. Jesus speaks bluntly and openly, not sugar coating anything. We often think of such stern teaching from Jesus as being directed toward the religious and political leaders of that day, many of whom we imagine to be corrupt. By contrast we imagine ourselves to be basically good, so we think harsh teachings don’t apply. However, there is no ducking out of these. We stand before them caught and guilty. While we often think of Jesus as a kind hearted guy who healed hurting people and embraced children, doing that reduces him to being little more than a cuddly teddy bear. Our Lord and savior does love us, and he loves us dearly. He loves us so much that he dares to speak the challenging words we need to hear. There are lots of seemingly innocent things in our world that are actually very harmful. Jesus would have us take the way that leads to wholeness and true health. We all know that a person can’t lay on a sofa all day every day eating potato chips and expect to be healthy. Being healthy requires physical activity and good food choices. So also, being an effective follower of Christ does not come about from a diet of just sweet sayings from our Lord. When Jesus’ words convict us of wrongdoing sometimes we can change our ways and do better. Sometimes we cannot. Sometimes the circumstances of life trap us into situations where we have no right answer. It is these times that we truly recognize how deeply sin and brokenness can trap us. We also recognize how much we need God’s grace. As the gospel readings of the next few weeks impact you I encourage you to let them convict you. Don’t make excuses to weasel out of them. Instead know the true power of God who forgives you anyway, and may that forgiveness open you to fullness of life in Christ. Blessings, Pastor Jon Men’s Breakfast Men’s Breakfast will meet the second & fourth Wednesday of the month at 8:00 AM at the Nutcracker Restaurant (Empire Blvd.) 3 Christian Education Committee and Sunday Church School News Our congregation had an active summer with Vacation Bible School, Adult Vacation Bible School, a Young Family gathering for pizza and parade, the Youth Gathering in Detroit, and Confirmation Camp.

FRIDAY MORNING QUILTERS Friday Morning Quilters meet at 9:00am. It takes little concentration to tie the quilt tops/batting/and backing together so we have plenty of time for talking as we work! And we also have the option of setting up a second quilt to tie if we use the upstairs conference room so there is plenty of space for lots of people! Do come and be a Friday Morning Quilter!! Backpack Food Ministry The Backpack Food Ministry has been ongoing since March 2011! This year we are providing food in backpacks each week to students at State Rd, DeWitt Rd, Klem North, and Schlegel Rd Schools. We will fill about 60 bags per week. This food is meant to supplement the needs of the child for the weekend. Many of these kids receive food at school during the week. We are collecting a different food item each week to help fill the back packs. Please consider bringing a food item to help. If it is easier you can bring several different items in one week. There is a blue box in the lower level entry of the church to collect the food. The items are stored together at church to be grouped together for distribution on a weekly basis. If you wish to support the program with a check please make it to Immanuel with backpack program in the memo. Money given is used to purchase items to supplement the weekly food donation. We try to do something special around holidays or school breaks like a box of cereal or complete pancake mix with syrup. These items are easier to purchase rather than collect to make sure we have the same for all. Thank you to all who participate in this ministry, you are making a difference in the lives of others.

Through prayer we connect with God and raise up joys and celebrations, concerns and sorrows. Through prayer we listen to God and open ourselves to God’s will in life. As Christians we pray not only for ourselves, we also pray for others and for the mission of the church. We all know the comfort that comes when we know someone has lifted us in prayer. When we lift up others, it brings us closer to each other and to God. At Immanuel we have two prayer chains – one is via email; the other by telephone. If you would like to be a part of Immanuel Prays…, please contact the church office with either your email address or telephone number. We will add you to the prayer chain. If you have a need or a joy to share, you can email the church ([email protected]) or call 585-8725180 and this will be shared with those on the prayer chain.
