October 2015 Newsletter
The month of October my mind always turns to the Reformation. There are other wonderful things about
October: the beautiful Autumn foliage, Indian Summer days, Oktoberfest. But for me the Reformation stands
out far above all the rest. There are a number of reasons for this. The Reformation attempted to correct the
corruption and abuses in the Church, a good thing, and something still needed and happening today. Martin
Luther was the lead instigator of the Reformation, and I am a life-long Lutheran, something becoming rather
rare these days. And Lutheran doctrine stands firmly on the Bible and the grace of God, something I really
appreciate.
Reformation Day is October 31st, and our church celebrates Reformation Sunday every year on the last Sunday
of October. It is a festival Sunday for us and it reminds us of our heritage. Martin Luther accomplished some
remarkable things in his lifetime. He challenged the Church in its teaching and practices where the Church was
not faithful to Scripture. He translated the Bible into the common language of the people so everyone could
read Scripture for themselves. He composed many great hymns for the church, including “A Mighty Fortress Is
Our God.” He opened the way for the congregation to become more participants of worship instead of
spectators. He wrote “The Small Catechism,” the basics of our Christian faith, for parents to teach their children.
He preached hundreds of sermons, taught numerous classes, and wrote volumes. Above all else, he turned the
Church back to the Word of God, and the living Word, Jesus Christ.
Luther would neither expect nor want any praise for the things he did. He never wanted his name attached to
the movement and church established as a result of his work. We are Christians, and Jesus Christ is the One we
follow. Luther and the Lutheran Confessors give us insight and understanding of Holy Scripture, and point us to
a saving relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. This is why I am a Lutheran Christian, and became a Lutheran
pastor.
All that Luther did for the Church in his day, still desperately needs to be done for the Church today! Whatever
else the Church is for any of us, it is Christ’s instrument for distributing his Holy Word and Sacraments.
Reformation, then and now, is the power of God’s Holy Spirit to change God’s people and make believers and
saints fit for the Kingdom of Heaven. Please make an intentional effort to worship with us on Reformation
Sunday, and every Sunday, to hear God’s Word, feast at our Lord’s Table, and be saved by grace through faith!
Pastor Kurt Wandrey
Thursday Night Bible Study: Spiritual Gifts
What is a Spiritual Gift? What is the purpose of Spiritual Gifts? What are your Spiritual Gifts? Are you using your
Spiritual Gifts for God’s purposes? During the Thursdays in October, we will study the Spiritual Gifts revealed in
the Bible. Do you know how many there are? We will discover the reasons God gives his people these gifts, and
how God expects them to be used. We will take a personal inventory of Spiritual Gifts so that each person may
identify the gifts they have, and gain insight into ways of employing these gifts so that Christ’s Church may
benefit. We meet on the Thursdays, at 6:30 p.m., October 1-29. Come and grow in your faith!

September 2015 Council Highlights
The September council opened with a prayer and devotional from Pastor Gail. The meeting included reports
from our teams. Among those, Margaret Nagel discussed the roles and responsibilities of the Fellowship Team
and their duties for the upcoming Talent Show. That morphed in comments about Council oversight. A very
useful discussion. Again, all the teams are active and doing an excellent job serving our church.
The Nominating Team has been energized and is beginning the important job of finding people to serve on
next year’s council, delegates to represent us at partner corporation meetings, and even a new Nominating
Team for 2016.
Church employees are evaluated each year. The Council discussed what approach we wished to take this year
and will be finalized at Executive Council.
The part that never made it into the Bible:
In the Garden of Eden God recognized that Adam was lonely. He approached Adam with a proposal, “I can give
you a companion. She will wait on you hand and foot. She will never awaken you in the middle of the night to
help with the children. She will always smile and never nag and complain.” “Wow,” Adam said, “what will that
cost me?” “An arm and leg,” God answered. “Hum, what can I get for a rib?”

Ministry Team Highlight: Stewardship Team
The mission of the stewardship ministry team is to help people grow in faith as trustees of God's generous
gifts. The team exists to be an encourager for the congregation, and to provide meaningful principles of
stewardship. Our team consists of Valerie Christiansen, Ray Danly, and Chris Clark.
Jesus said, "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Matthew 6:21) The church's stewardship
ministry needs to be based on the Biblical foundation that emphasizes the spiritual dimension of stewardship.
Jesus spoke five times as much about money and possession as He did about prayer and faith. There are about
500 verses on prayer, about the same on faith, but over 2,000 verses dealing with money and possessions.
Compare the number of times those words appear in the Bible. "Believe" - 270 times; "Pray" - 371 times;
"Love" - 714 times; and "Give" – 2,172 times.
Giving includes time and talents as well as financial resources. God calls every congregation to ministry, and
God has places these talents and resources are needed for our ministry within our congregation. The need of
the giver to give is a spiritual matter. Let's never forget that the primary reason to grow in our giving of
resources and talents is to show our love for Jesus Christ and our desire to grow spiritually to honor Him.
Christian stewardship, at all points, is primarily a matter of aligning the heart with Christ. It is an integral part of
each Christian's call to full Christian commitment. We seek to develop our stewardship so that it will be focused
on what the Lord wants, and He will provide what our church needs.
Chris Clark, Stewardship Team Council Liaison
Thanks to all who served with the Ecumenical Food Kitchen. You, the congregation, made
this possible with your donations of food, money and prayers. PLC served three times this
year and fed over 170 hungry people. This is a ministry that needs to continue next year!
Special thanks to our Ministry Team of Helen Darst, Connie Arthur, Margaret Nagel,
Rozanne Ryle, Jim & Roxanne Helgeson, and Marge Freligh Coordinator.

Lutherhaven & Shoshone Mountain Retreat
Did you know Lutherhaven is busy all year? In fact, October is one of camp's busiest months, with overnight
environmental education programs for regional public and Christian school kids in full swing. Nearly 2,000 students from
as far away as Tri-Cities and Wenatchee come to camp for two or three days to learn about wildlife, trees, watersheds,
and the value of our environment, plus build stronger relationships with their classmates and teachers. Many of these
kids are getting outdoors for the very first time, and many come back for a Lutherhaven summer camp! Plus each
October weekend is filled with retreats: "campers" of every age enjoying our beautiful North Idaho fall days.
Other Camp News:
The Pinecrest Retreat Center Remodel is in full swing. The lowest level is up and running: four new motel-like suites.
We've raised the roof for six family suites and lake-front balconies, due for completion early next summer. Volunteers
Needed – No Experience Required! Come by yourself, as a family or with a crew from your church for a day, an overnight,
a weekend or longer. Contact Steve at [email protected] or phone 208.667.3459 x 112.
Coming in November:

Lutherhaven was honored nationally as a Camp that Changes the World by Chicago's Center for Faith and Service.
Lutherhaven plays a crucial role in cultivating the talents and passions of our young people; nurtures faith formation in
kids, teens, adults and families; and inspires and equips our next generation of leaders. Only three camps in the
Northwest made this year's list of outstanding camps. Thanks for being part of making Lutherhaven the fantastic
outdoor ministry it is!
Check out our online Trading Post! Buy your camper a gift certificate to go to camp next summer, and find all the latest
Lutherhaven gear, great for Christmas presents! Visit our website for the camp store. We can't wait to see you at camp!
