Continuing series on Stewardship
VII. God's Stewards Are Served and Serving
What does this mean?
God's stewards recognize that their stewardship involves a Gospel-powered style of life
which is demonstrated in servanthood within all the arenas of life.
What does God's Word say about this?
Philippians 2:5-8
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus, who being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in
appearance as a man, he humbled himself and become obedient to death-death on a cross!
Matthew 20:26b-28 Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever
wants to be first must be your slave-just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but
to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
John 13:3-5;15-17 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from
God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing,
and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began
to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. I
have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no
servant is greater that his, master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
How is this done?
As children of God through faith in Jesus Christ, and with the Holy Spirit's help, we will:

Recognize that the service done for the benefit of the community and world is also a part of Christian
stewardship

Emphasize that just as Jesus came to serve, stewards are privileged to serve others through their abilities
and resources; and

Adopt the attitude of a servant in all our relationships with others.
As children of God through faith in Jesus Christ, and with the Holy Spirit's help, we will not:

Set aside servanthood for the sake of merely reaching an organizational goal;

Fail to encourage stewards to be God's servants in and decision or action; or

Fail to challenge stewards to serve the Lord with personal acts of compassion and service as well as
financial gifts.

For even as the body is one and yet has many
members, and all the members of the body,
though they are many, are one body, so also is
Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:12
What is happening among St. Paul's teens?
Every Sunday we have Bible study at 10:10 in the Youth Room above the gym. We also plan our teen
activities at the same time.
Gym night in Jan. will be on the 6th & 20th.
We look forward to seeing the teenagers of St. Paul at many of these activities. Our activities are for 8th
graders thru college. You are always encourage to bring a friend.
Any questions or ideas contact Counselors Bryan Hill 289-2142 Rick Bradley 464-0207.
Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in
love, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
Reserve your Radio Broadcast in 2016 to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries etc. or in
remembrance of someone special. Cost is $42 per week. This is a great way for us to
witness. Email [email protected] or call the office 284-2944.
Many of us will have New Year's Resolutions. Put "Study the Holy Bible" at the top of
yours. We have Bible studies to join but also your own personal study of God's Word is
vital to your relationship with Him.
How to Read and Study the Holy Bible
Pray
Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.
Please show me now Your ways,
That I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not
having a righteousness of my own that comes
from the Law, but that which comes through faith
in Christ
Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my
path. Give me life, O Lord, according to Your
Word,
Remember
1 Samuel 3:9; the Lord speaks to us through His
word.
Exodus 33:13; the Lord speaks to us in two basic
ways: Law and Gospel
Philippians 3:8-9; Scripture teaches us about
Christ and His righteousness.
Psalm 119:105, 107; Scripture faithfully guides
our lives.
Psalm 145:6; Scripture leads us to declare the
And I will declare Your greatness. Amen.
Lord's ways to others.

Dr. Larry Wooster
January 2015
St. Paul’s Lutheran School Notes
Last month I wished you a Happy New Year based on the
beginning of another church year. This month I wish you a Happy
New Year based on the calendar year. God richly blessed us
during 2015 and He promises to continue blessing us in 2016. We
begin this year with the Epiphany celebration. Epiphany means to
reveal something. We certainly pray that all of our students will
grow in their faith as Jesus is revealed to them in God’s Word.
Since last month’s newsletter we were privileged to sing for the first midweek Advent service, we
presented our annual Christmas service, we sang at the nursing home, and we ended the semester
with our Christmas parties. It has been a very busy month. We thank all who supported the ministry of
St. Paul’s. The Lord is present and working through His Word as He has promised.
As we begin a new calendar year, including the second semester of our current school year, we count
on God’s gracious presence. We also count on your prayers and support. January is typically a month
where we can accomplish a great deal. We plan on wrapping up January with our celebration of
National Lutheran School’s Week January 25-31, including Jump Rope for Heart on Friday, January
29. Our students will sing for church on January 31. We are also beginning to think about and plan for
our Science Exposition on March 18 and our spring musical on April 22. In the mean time, we pray
that each of you had a most blessed Christmas and that your 2016 is blessed as well.
Please note the important dates listed below. We invite you to participate in your mission: the school.
Even if you don’t have a child or grandchild in school you can still be a part of it all by attending
school events and by keeping the work of the school in your prayers. That is the single biggest
support we need.
May God continue to bless you, our congregation, and our school today and as we move forward.
Important upcoming dates:
December 21-January 3 Christmas Break
January 4 School Resumes
January 8 Second Quarter Report Cards will be sent home
January 25-31 National Lutheran Schools Week
January 29 Jump Rope for Heart
January 31 Students sing in church for National Lutheran Schools Sunday

CIRCLE/LWML NEWS
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Our December Christmas party was a huge success!
The fellowship was wonderful, the sing-a-long was enjoyed by all! As usual,
the food was plentiful and so good! There was no business
meeting......so......no business to pass on. We hope each one of you was
able to spend a joyous Christmas with family and friends and were able to
attend church on Christmas, to once again celebrate the birth of the Baby
Jesus. Hopefully, some of you were able to attend Christmas Eve service
here at St. Paul’s – the church was packed! The children did a wonderful
job with their singing and readings. I’m sure everyone left that service feeling the joy of the Christ child in his
heart! How blessed we are to know Him!
We enter 2016 with apprehension; there is much unrest throughout our country and the world. We pray that
God will guide our government, protect our country and those defending it. We also pray that He will keep
our church leaders strong and keep us in our faith should we be tested. The bright side is that with a New
Year comes new families (we see some in church), new projects, clearing out the old junk, and plans to make
things better in any way we can!
St. Paul’s Circle and all LWML ladies wish each of you and happy and blessed New Year!
TIE THE KNOT will be meeting in the church basement, at 1:00 p.m.., January 5 and January 19. Those are the
1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month. Come join us – it’s fun and a very worthwhile project! So until next
month......
Take care and God bless,
Dorothy
10 Things Jesus NEVER Said
1.) You're too far gone to be saved.
2.) I'm so disappointed in you.
3.) This wouldn't be happening if you were a better Christian.
4.) It's okay to not love certain people.
5.) Everyone should believe and act like you do.
6.) It's all up to you.
7.) You don't have to forgive someone who really hurt you.
8.) You missed My will for your life.
9.) I've given up on you.
10.) This is a cross you must bear alone.
*SCRIP is Fundraising While You Shop?
*That it costs you nothing - zero, zip, zilch, nada.
*That SCRIP could be the way to financially support St.
Paul's School - again, at no cost to you!
By simply planning ahead on everyday purchases (seriously this
takes only a minute or two), the dollars can add up quickly. It’s easy
for each household to earn $500 - $1,000 in a year, and many
families earn much more! The more families participating, the bigger the earnings for St. Paul's!
Folks this is FREE MONEY from companies who want to accumulate charitable giving! This is
not too good to be true! It is not a "free lunch", we will not be "taken to the cleaners" and Great
Lakes Scrip is not a "fly-by-night" company.
We all buy groceries, gas and household items! Safeway and Sun Mart give back 5% of every
purchase you make. That's $5 for every $100!!
Come to the office or register online. I personally print off an egift card when I go to Wal-Mart
in any $10 denomination I want. We have trained the cashiers how to take the gift card.
It could not be more simple to get money to support our mission! We would all like the
financial burden to be lightened - this is the way to do it without knocking on doors for
donations, or reaching into our own pockets or hosting twelve fundraising events every year.
Simply use SCRIP cards to make the purchases you are already making!
You are already spending the money at these stores - why not let them give back to us?
