Thank you for your recent help with the asset mapping questions in the
narthex. We have developed a data base with the results and we will
use it to wonder together what opportunities God is inviting us into in this
place. A group of thirty people met with Luther Snow on November
7th to learn more about asset mapping and how we can begin to
discover a new way of looking forward in our ministry. Mr. Snow was
engaging and challenging and the gathered group is interested in
continuing the conversation. We will be meeting after the 10:30 worship
service on December 6th. If you would like to join us, you are most
welcome!
The next phase of our visioning involves a bit of dreaming. In the
narthex is a “Dream Board” that is meant to be a depository of your
hopes and dreams for Our Savior’s. We are going to use these hopes
and dreams to help us figure out what direction we want to move. While
we have lots of general dreams that we desire-to be welcoming and
friendly, etc., try to be specific so we can think about what that might
mean as we plan for new staff and direction.
Finally, take a look at the map below and see what we are up to as a
congregation in these next months!

From Pastor Hansen
Love is Everything
3-7 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be
burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter
what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
8-10 Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying
in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a
portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete.
But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled.
11 When I was an infant at my mother’s breast, I gurgled and cooed
like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good.
12 We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering
through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the
sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees
us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!
Financial Progress
Report for the Month
of Oct. 2015
For the month of October, 2015
1) General Fund
Giving: $42,497.70
Expenses: $29,653.07
Net Cash Flow: $12,844.63
YTD Cash flow: <$6260.22>
2) Building fund
Giving: $8035.00
Expenses: $14,294.00
YTD Cash Flow: <$9975.81>
13 But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to
do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope
unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-13 (The Message)
Dear Friends in Christ, grace and peace to you from God our Father
and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
It is incredibly difficult: This calling to love. We live in a dangerous
world that often seems too fleeting. We see the chaos swirling around
us, coming to us from all devices, radio, computers, televisions, IPads,
newsprint, and in all of our circles. We wonder how we have lost the
sense of innocence that we have so desired over the years. In the 24
hour news cycle we have enjoyed this sense of insulation that comes
with a closing our eyes and thinking about something different. And
yet, in Beirut and Paris this past weekend we were confronted with
horror, once again. The acts of terrorism perpetrated by such a group
are simply hard to believe. They are unthinkable and in the repetition
of the events we are reminded of the horrors of 911 and our loss of
such innocence. What are we to do? What can we do?
Continued...
Continued from page 2...
Most of us have not been personally affected by these recent events
and so we wring our hands wondering if this is the new reality. As a
former history teacher, I can assure you that events such as these are
not new to humanity. I suspect that the ability to communicate through
social media has just brought this closer to home. Humans have always
treated each other with disdain and mistrust. One can simply change
the names and sometimes the tactics, but the hatred and violence have
always been there. This is of little solace and comfort, however. One
needs to find a way to find hope, to discover something to cling to in the
midst of this chaos. This is the first step. In whom do you first place
your trust? In our lesson from Hebrews this week the writer reminded us
of the promise of God: “Once sins are taken care of for good, there’s
no longer any need to offer sacrifices for them. So, friends, we can
now—without hesitation—walk right up to God, into “the Holy Place.”
Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of his sacrifice, acting as our
priest before God. The “curtain” into God’s presence is his body. So let’s
do it—full of belief, confident that we’re presentable inside and out. Let’s
keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps
his word.” (Heb 11:18-25) God is faithful. He is our rock. Luther wrote
in his famous, “A Mighty Fortress,” “Though life be wrenched away, they
cannot win the day. The kingdom’s ours forever.” If we can understand
this foundation, then we can begin to see how we can begin to make a
difference in our world. Hebrews continues,” Let’s see how inventive we
can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping
together as some do but spurring each other on,” If we are going to
change our world, it has to be done out of love, real AGAPE love. It has
to be through a love that lifts up the needs of the other before the self. It
has to be the kind of love that Paul writers about in our scripture from 1
Corinthians.
But this love that bears witness to the love and faithfulness of God
needs to bear fruit within our own spheres of influence, first. We cannot
simply speak love or shout love to the world. This kind of love is an
active love that seeks to do good to those around us- our households,
neighbors, co-workers, schoolmates, and the folks that we rub shoulders
with every day. After that we can begin to work this love into an ever
broadening circle. Together, we at Our Savior’s meet regularly to
confess our regular turning away from God and each other, but we also
receive forgiveness in order to begin again. Living lives of love takes
work. It takes effort and money and sometimes this work means pain
and suffering. But God is faithful. God will never leave us and God will
always be present with us.
What can we do? Pray. Love God and love others. Believe in the
future and live in the present for all of it is held in God’s hands. As we
begin to prepare ourselves during the Advent season for Christmas, let
us remember what it is we are celebrating- God has chosen to be
present in a new way in our world and in our lives. Jesus is the Word
made flesh for our sake, and the sake of the healing of all of
creation. God is faithful. Thank you for being a loving community of
faith.
Peace,
Pastor Tim

Tokay Blvd., Madison
Lutheran Church, 4329
Invite your friends and neighbors to this special Advent event, now in its
second year. The evening will feature musicians and readers from over
a half-dozen local congregations, including the Chancel Ringers and
Pastor Tim from OSLC. You will be moved by beautiful music and you
will be able to join in singing some favorite songs of the season. Your
heart and mind will be opened to the Bethlehem of Jesus' birth and to
the Bethlehem of today. The evening will conclude with a time of refreshments and fellowship. Handmade crafts from artisans who live in
refugee camps in Palestine will be for sale, featuring items that make
wonderful Christmas gifts.
Hope is the theme of Advent, and in these perilous times our sisters
and brothers in the Holy Land need our prayers and support so that
they too might experience hope. A free-will offering will be collected to
support Bright Stars of Bethlehem and the ministries associated with
Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem, Palestine. Offerings will be
directed for student scholarships to build hope through education for
young people in this conflicted region. Your presence and gifts will
make a difference for many in the Holy Land.

Forgiven: The Amish School Shooting, A Mother's Love, And a Story
of Remarkable Grace by Terri Roberts
In October 2006, her 32 year old son, Charlie,
walked into an Amish school in Lancaster, PA and
shot ten young girls, killing five of them before killing
himself. The Amish came to her the night of the
shooting to offer forgiveness and say they wanted
her to stay. "For the mother and father who had lost
two daughters at the hand of our son, to come up
and be the first ones to greet us - wow. Is there
anything in this life that we should not be forgiven?"
We will meet for conversation about this story
on Thursday, December 3rd, 6:30pm.
Dear and Glorious Physician by Taylor Caldwell
This is a novel about the triumphant story of St.
Luke, man of science and gospel writer. Taylor
Caldwell's travel through the Holy Land and years
of research give this book a fully developed portrait
of a complex and brilliant man, St. Luke. Here is a
story to warm, inspire, and call forth renewal of
faith lying deep within each reader's heart.
We will gather to share our thoughts about this
story on Thursday, Jan. 7 and Thursday, Feb. 4 at
6:30pm. Email Joy Kroeger
at kroegerjoy@gmail.com for our gathering
location.
Dinner and A Movie features
Heaven Is For Real
Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling
book of the same name, HEAVEN IS FOR
REAL brings to the screen the true story of a
small-town father who must find the courage
and conviction to share his son's
extraordinary, life-changing experience with
the world. The film stars Academy Award®
nominee and Emmy® award winning actor
Greg Kinnear as Todd Burpo and co-stars
Kelly Reilly as Sonja Burpo, the real-life
couple whose son Colton (newcomer Connor Corum) claims to have
visited Heaven during a near death experience. Colton recounts the
details of his amazing journey with childlike innocence and speaks
matter-of-factly about things that happened before his birth ... things
he couldn't possibly know. Todd and his family are then challenged to
examine the meaning from this remarkable event. So bring some food
to share. Invite a friend. Sign up at the Welcome Center or email
your RSVP to amystueck@gmail.com. See you at the movies on
Thursday, December 10 at 6:30pm.

the church office (837-3111) or

The Giving Tree is in the narthex and was filled with wish lists of many
Sun Prairie children. There are a couple remaining tags if you would
like to participate in the Spirit of Giving program here is what you need
to do: 1. Choose a tag from the Giving Tree and sign it out with your
name and phone number.
2. Each child's wish list may include more than 1
item. You may choose any items from the wish
list, please keep the gift amount in the $30-$35
range. We know it may be tempting to purchase
more for these children, but as we're trying to
keep the program equitable for all involved it is
important to keep within the guidelines. If you
can't find the item the child is requesting, choose
a similar age-appropriate gift instead.
3. Return the gift to OSLC by December 6 along
with the tag clearly placed on the gift. The gifts
should be unwrapped.
Thank you for your amazing generosity!
