February 2016 - Holy Trinity Lutheran Church
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Growing Together in Faith. Serving Together in Christ. February 2016 Creating Structure for the Body of Christ In Paul’s writings to his Christian communities he talks about the idea of the church being the “Body of Christ.” Here are a couple of lines from his letter to the Romans: For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. (Romans 12:4-5) Paul is emphasizing here, and in other letters, the importance of a united body while still appreciating the diversity of each body part. We see this all the time in the life of the church. The week of Hypothermia, among others, is a great example. We as the Body of Christ collectively open our doors to the homeless for a week of the year, but we could not pull off this mission if it were not for each of your individual contributions. Other examples include decorating the church for Christmas and Easter, offering Sunday school education during the year, or making worship happen on Sunday morning. The subtle difference between a functioning body and the church is—a body has systems in place that provide the body the ability to have connectedness between each of its individual parts. Examples include the nervous system, the cardiovascular system, and a functioning brain. You know all of this, but what does it mean for us as a congregation? In short, each church needs structure in order for the system to work smoothly. When Holy Trinity was involved in the Synod’s program called “The Journey” we were provided with a book titled Effective Staffing for Vital Churches. The authors suggest the church, as the body of Christ, has four functions: 1) to invite people into the Christian community, 2) to connect people within the Christian community, 3) to disciple people in the way of Christ, and 4) to send people back out into the world to serve others in the name of Christ. These four aspects of the church are our collective calling, but they are only made possible by the individual efforts of the members involved. Take a moment and think about the four functions above. Have you ever invited someone to church? Have you ever participated in an activity that connects you with other members of the church? Have you ever participated in or led a Christian education activity? Have you ever served others in the name of Christ? My guess, and hope, is that you answered yes to all of these questions, but, in your experience, does the Holy Spirit naturally call you into one area more than another? This month, I am going to start having conversations with people who feel they have a passion for each of the four aspects of church life. If you are one of these people, please seek me out to join the conversation so we can reflect on the ways we have lived out these expressions of the church in the past and how we can move forward in the future. St. Paul realized very quickly in his ministry the importance of the Body of Christ and what is capable when the body is functioning with healthy systems and structures in place. For Paul, when the church is everything it is called to be, it becomes Christ’s presence in the world. Thanks be to God for Holy Trinity and for being Christ’s presence in this community. 1 Pastor Mike TABLE OF CONTENTS Pastor’s article Parish News Library News Christian Education Youth & Family Birthdays & Anniversaries HT WELCA OWLS February calendar Page 1 Pages 4-5 Page 6 Page 7 Pages 8-9 Page 9 Pages 10-11 Page 11 Page 13 Please Let the Church Office Know When….

Robin LeMunyon: [email protected] 11 Committed to Increase Awareness Of Human Trafficking January was National Awareness Month for Human Trafficking. In recognition of the efforts in Fairfax County to eliminate the horrific crime of human trafficking and to support trafficked victims, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors held a Proclamation Ceremony marking Human Trafficking Awareness Month. John Volt, vice president of Eagle Bank, accepted the 2016 proclamation on behalf of the many organizations and individuals working to end Human Trafficking. Our Commitment: In response to the resolution passed at our WELCA 2014 Triennial Convention, we, Women of the ELCA, are committed to help eradicate human trafficking by creating awareness in our communities, advocating for more protection and rehabilitation for victims, and participating in antitrafficking campaigns in our churches, schools and neighborhoods. Education and Awareness: I, Wilma Dublin, HT’s representative, would like to do a study series about Human Trafficking with a group of interested people. The ‘ELCA Justice for Women’ has a six-session series that we can use. In addition I have a four-session study series created by the ‘Safe Harbor Campaign’. If you are interested in participating, please contact me at [email protected] and we can decide on a convenient time. Books: Refuse to Do Nothing: Finding Your Power to Abolish ModernDay Slavery, by Shayne Moore and Kimberly McOwen Yim, is a guide of how regular people, juggling the everyday demands of family and work, can become activists fighting human trafficking and slavery. Renting Lacy: A Story Of America's Prostituted Children (A Call to Action) by Linda Smith. The author of the book, Linda Smith is a former U.S. congresswoman and founder of ‘Shared Hope International’, an organization that fights sex trafficking and commercial sex exploitation. Smith brings to life characters based on real stories and interviews with teen survivors. Through skillful narrative, interwoven with commentary by the author, the book shows the inside of the child prostitution industry from the prospective of the girls. It provides a rare glimpse on the men who sell them, and the ones who buy them. The book draws you into the lives of these young girls as they struggle to survive each night, watching their childhood hopes and dreams slip away in the darkness. Prayer: Everlasting God, human trafficking is an overwhelming and scary topic. We ask that you open our hearts and minds to better understand some of the many ways that people become vulnerable to trafficking. We know you are a God of justice and love and we pray that you will help us to keep your life-giving vision of the world in mind. Amen.
