Dear Salem Community,

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone.
The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses
all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing,
whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise,
think about these things. Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard
and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:4-9)
Thanksgiving is getting closer and will be here sooner than we know it! My friend
Amy told me she started preparing for her family’s Thanksgiving dinner in October and couldn’t understand how people waited until the Monday of that week to
plan and shop. (People being people like me. Lol) Soon many families, friends,
and communities will join her in preparing for the celebration of this beloved civic
and national holiday in their own homes. We will start shopping for that perfect
turkey and the fixins’, for those perfect holiday linens to match our china, and for
that perfect centerpiece to grace our tables. Families and friends will begin making travel plans. Others will get ready to receive family, friends, neighbors, and
loved ones into their homes. Many folks like my friend Wendy will start collecting
ads and coupons, getting ready to hit the stores first thing on Black Friday. Some
people are preparing for the big games of the day. Go Eagles! Go Lions! Go
Panthers! Go Bears! (Seriously, game day sounds like gearing up for a trip to
the zoo! Lol) We do a lot to get ready for Thanksgiving, the day a nation sets
aside to share a meal and to name all the things for which we are thankful.
In fact, at Thanksgiving dinner tables, many people will do exactly this. Families,
friends, and communities, sitting around tables laden with good food, will take
turns naming what they are grateful for. It’s generally not too hard a task, especially as our verbal offerings of gratitude are often about the people we love and
who love us. Our words are met with smiles, warm feelings, tears of joy, and
tears of sorrow for those no longer with us. Maybe you have or will plan to practice this custom at your Thanksgiving table this year. I think it’s a good way to
commemorate a holiday of giving thanks that traces its roots back to a harvest

PARISH HEALTH NEWS
Your feet take a beating, every
day. If they start to hurt, you
need to take that foot pain and
any other problems seriously.
And somehow they also make
room for more than 60 joints and
200 muscles, tendons, and ligaments that hold them together
and help them move.
If you had a headache every
single day, you probably wouldn't tell yourself, "Oh, well, another day, another headache.
That's part of life." But many
people go through that very
routine when it comes to sore
feet, says Paul F. Brezinski,
DPM, a Chicago-area podiatrist
and president of the Illinois Podiatric Medical Association.
It's not surprising that many problems can affect your feet. For
starters, they have a very tough
job. Over the course of your life,
you put a lot of wear and tear on
your feet, Brezinski says. Simply
walking around on an average
day pounds them with hundreds
of tons of force.
and you shouldn't ignore foot
pain or regard it as a normal
part of life.
Complex and Vital Body Parts
The American Podiatric Medical
Association (APMA) considers
your feet a marvel of engineering. Together, your two feet
contain more than 50 bones,
accounting for about one-fourth
of all the bones in your body.

Foot Health: Don't Tiptoe Around its Importance
“The health of your feet, despite
their distance from your heart,
can affect your overall health,”
Dr. Brezinski says. Achiness or
pain in your feet can have
many causes

Think of all the activities that
stress your feet. Your job may require that you stand or walk
around for hours at a time. Your
choice of exercise, like running,
can really impact your tootsies as
well. And then there’s the matter
of style. Women often wedge their
feet into shoes that don't give
them the room or support they
need, such as floppy sandals or
the pair of designer pumps that
were irresistable when they went
on sale — even though they’re a
half-size smaller than they should
be.
Related Problems
Your feet can develop certain
health problems because they're
the farthest body parts from your

heart, Brezinski adds. Your heart
pumps blood to your feet through
arteries and several medical conditions, such as peripheral arterial
disease, can reduce that blood
flow to your feet. This is due to a
buildup of plaque in these blood
vessels. If this occurs, your feet
and lower legs may not get the
oxygen-rich blood they need to
thrive. Diabetes, a condition that
affects about 24 million Americans, can also lead to reduced
blood flow to your feet that can
severely threaten their health.
Many other common conditions
can affect the skin on your feet or
the bones and tissues inside.
These range from relatively minor
problems, such as athlete's foot,
to deeper ones such as bunions
(misshapen joints in the big toes)
and neuromas (painful but benign
growths on a nerve).
Heed the Warnings
You shouldn't ignore any footrelated conditions or try to suffer
through them because they're
"only" affecting your feet, Brezinski warns. If you can't walk
comfortably, you're more likely to
stop being physically active,
which can reduce your quality of
life. In addition, many common

November 7, 2015 is our Roast Beef Dinner. We so appreciate all the help we have received in the
past from the members of the congregation, both young and older. Whether you can help prepare the
food, serve our guests, bake a pie or two, or just buy a ticket and come and enjoy, we need your
support. All the proceeds from the dinner are used to help out our needy neighbors.
December 5, 6th, and 12th and 13th, are the dates of Christmas in Salem Crossroads. Again, we need
lots of help and cookies to feed the people who come to take the pilgrimage and see the Christmas
story again. As with the dinner, all the money raised helps those in need. We work together with the
Social Ministry committee to do God’s work here at Salem.
A Thanksgiving Prayer
Dear Lord,
Thank you for the breathe to say
Thank you for another day
Thank you for the hands to serve and far more
blessings than I deserve
Thank you for the eyes to see
the world of beauty surrounding me
Thank you for the legs to run the race of life
until it's won
Thank you for the ears to hear your
message of hope loud and clear
Thank you for the voice to sing
Thank you Lord for everything
Amen.

Notes on the Liturgy & Sunday Texts
Sunday, Nov. 1-
All Saints Sunday
Jesus states the core of God’s law: love God with all you
are and have, and love your neighbor as yourself. The
scribe agrees that Jesus has rightly identified the most important commandments, much more important than sacrifices. It’s easy for us to say with the writer of the letter to
the Hebrews that sacrifices aren’t needed anymore; harder,
though, to acknowledge that all our worship, all our community service, all our social action, all our family caregiving is
worthless if it is done without love.
Sunday, Nov. 8 -
Christ the King Sunday
Even after Israel had experienced the vagaries of kings,
they still longed for a true king to set things right. He would
have the king’s title of Anointed One (Messiah); he would
be the “one like a human being” (Son of Man) given dominion in Daniel’s vision. Jesus is given these titles, even
though he is nothing like an earthly king. His authority
comes from the truth to which he bears witness, and those
who recognize the truth voluntarily listen to him. We look
forward to the day he is given dominion, knowing his victory
will be the nonviolent victory of love.
Sunday, Nov. 29 -
Nov. 8
First Sunday of Advent
Advent is about the “coming days.” God’s people have always lived in great expectation, but that expectation finds
specific, repeated enunciation in the texts appointed for
these four weeks. The ancients anticipated a “righteous
Branch to spring up for David.” The Thessalonians awaited
“the coming of our Lord Jesus with all the saints.” Our
Lord’s contemporaries hoped for the time “to stand before
the Son of Man.” With them we eagerly await the coming
days: another Christmas celebration, a second coming, and
the advent of our Lord in word and supper.

25th Sunday after Pentecost
November begins with All Saints Day and ends in or near
Advent, when we anticipate Christ’s coming again. So the
readings today tell of the final resurrection and the end
time. In the turmoil of hope, fear, and disbelief that these
predictions provoke in us, Hebrews sounds a note of confident trust. Christ makes a way for us where there is no
way, and we walk it confidently, our hearts and bodies
washed in baptismal water, trusting the one who has promised. The more we see the last day approaching, the more
important it is to meet together to provoke one another to
love.
Sunday, Nov. 22 -
Nov.1
24th Sunday after Pentecost
Widows are visible everywhere in today’s readings. Jesus
denounces those scribes who pray impressive prayers but
devour widows’ houses. He commends the poor widow
who in his view gave far more than the major donors. Jesus
doesn’t see her simply as an object of compassion or charity. She, like the widow of Zarephath who shares her last bit
of food with Elijah, does something of great importance.

Pastor’s Letter, Continued from page 1
festival that took place many, many years ago.
It all started in the fall of 1621, when vulnerable immigrants and the indigenous people who helped them
survive sat down together to eat and celebrate the harvest. Unlike today’s typical Thanksgiving fair of turkey, stuffing, and gravy, they ate deer, corn, shellfish, and roasted meat. Unlike today’s Thanksgiving which
is one day, or in some households 12 minutes depending on how long halftime is, they celebrated this first
harvest festival together for three days! For three days, the immigrant and the native men, women, and
children ate together, played games together, sang songs together, and danced together. Although prayers
and thanks may have been offered at the 1621 harvest gathering, the first recorded religious Thanksgiving
Day in Plymouth happened two years later in 1623. On this occasion, they gave specifically thanks to God
for the rain that came after a two-month drought.
Today, for many people of faith, this practice of giving thanks to God has become the holy center of
Thanksgiving celebrations. Many faith communities of diverse traditions and backgrounds elect to come
together at community Thanksgiving worship services in order to remember in song, prayer and word the
one, holy God who generously gives us all the things for which we are thankful. I suspect (or at least I am
ever hopeful) that we do this not merely to commemorate a civic and national holiday, great though it be,
but more so we gather together in worship to worship God, to give thanks to the great giver and sustainer
of creation and all that is in it! In the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving, our community worship services
give us permission to be still together and to know that God is God and that God is a God “whose steadfast
love is everlasting, whose faithfulness endures from age to age." (Psalm 100.5)
Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, offers people of faith encouragement in our practices of giving thanks
to God. Paul exhorts us to rejoice and be thankful in the knowledge that God is always near. Paul encourages us to make known our concerns and supplications with thanksgiving, trusting that a needy "please"
and a grateful "thank you" are two sides of faithful prayer. Trusting that God is always near, listening to us
and providing what we need no matter what the situation. Paul’s poignant words urge us as people of faith
to dwell on that which is worthy of praise—and chiefly on the grace and love of God in Christ Jesus for all
people. This is good news that we can give thanks for and share in word and deed with families, friends,
communities, neighbors, and strangers this Thanksgiving. So even as we indulge in yummy homemade
bread or rolls on Thanksgiving, let us remember to give thanks for the true bread from heaven, Jesus
Christ, by whom God daily nourishes us and others with unconditional love and mercy, forgiveness and
grace.
For people of faith, giving thanks to God—the Giver, the Source of redemption, love and life—is something
we are free to do, not only on Thanksgiving Day, but every day, all the time—at home, at work, at play, at
church, while shopping, even during the big games.
And so, dear people of God, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure,
whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of
praise, [let us] think about these things, as we prepare this month to give thanks on Thanksgiving Day. Let
us also give thanks to God every day that in all things God is near to us and God is gracious and good and
steadfast and loving all the time. All the time in all things God is near to us and God is gracious and good
and steadfast and loving! Amen.
I give thanks to God for you, Salem, and for the ministry and mission of Christ we share in this place!!
