RE-FOCUS
A Publication of Reformation Lutheran Church

From the Pastor
Advent: from the Latin, advenire, to come to. In the
four weeks of Advent we focus upon the coming One, namely, Jesus the Christ. This One came
in birth at Bethlehem, comes in Word and Sacraments, and is coming again to make all
things new. In Advent we pray, Come, Lord Jesus.
I think of the many different people for whom advent prayer is lifted up. Come, Lord
Jesus,
- To the man or woman in the throes of depression and desperation;
- To the young man looking out from behind prison bars;
- To the high school senior wondering about the future;
- To the married couple whose love has grown cold;
- To the Palestinian Christians surrounded by fear and violence;
- To the pregnant woman terminally ill with cancer;
- To the woman grieving the death of her husband;
- To the parents grieving the death of their daughter;
- To the daughter grieving the death of her mother;
- To the man who called me yesterday needing food and housing;
- To white people like me who don’t understand the depths of racism in this country;
- To black people who know what it means to live without power and privilege;
- To persons caught up in the petty concerns of their own lives;
- To leaders in church who lack the courage of their convictions;
- To leaders who need convictions, grounded in the will of God;
- To the people down the street who know not God;
- To the vandals who destroyed the trees and lawn at Reformation Church;
- To gay and lesbian persons and all who feel ostracized by church and society;
- To pastors who have lost the power to proclaim the Gospel;
- To church people who value membership more highly than discipleship;
- To the church in Russia, emerging after years of Communist rule;
- To the church in Papua New Guinea, partner church to our synod;
- To . . . . . . . please keep praying . . . . . .
Come, Lord Jesus

From the Deaconess
For three weeks the children and youth of this congregation were
invited to buy a gift for a youth at the Oaks Indian Center. I just went to check the
board, and every single name was taken. The 49 youth at Oaks will receive a wonderful
surprise when our middle school youth deliver the gifts to them on December 9. This act of
caring on the part of the children and youth of Reformation does reflect the presence of
strong positive values.
Positive Values is a category of internal assets that are important for our
young people to have in order to live healthy and productive lives. Under this category
are listed six characteristics: Caring, Equality and social justice, Integrity, Honesty,
Responsibility, and Restraint.
As a congregation, we can continue to offer opportunities for our young people to reach
out to others, to stand up for the rights of others, to act on their convictions, to speak
the truth even if it is not easy, to take responsibility for their actions as well as to
be given responsibilities within the community, and to encourage our young people to use
restraint in areas of alcohol, drugs, and sex.
This Advent and Christmas season, may offer opportunities for families to talk about
and practice some of these Positive Values. Living in a society where emphasis is put on
looking out for yourself and doing what feels good and makes you happy, we as Christians
can use this time of waiting for the Christ Child to emphasize caring about others and
helping the hungry and poor. Consider how your family can serve others this Advent.
Helping someone in need will provide opportunities for your children to develop their
assets of Positive Values.
Thank you to those children and youth and to the families who are providing gifts to
the youth at Oaks Indian Center. It’s a wonderful way to reach out to others with
Christ-like arms to show care to others with less than we have.
- Deaconess Doreen Scheuerman
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your great support of our AAL Benefit. The $300 that you raised will be
matched by AAL. The raffle was won by a woman in our church. She was very excited to win,
and it was fun that she was there when Ryan pulled out the winning ticket. The whole day
was a great success, and we thank you for your part in it.
- Ann Davis, Leader, AAL Branch 5693

The "All Students Against Prejudice" organization would like to thank you for
your willingness to let us

comforting at this difficult time of my dear mother’s death.

From Your Parish Nurses . . .
Flu season is here, and here are a few suggestions for all of us to
consider:
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Shaking hands, sneezing openly, and touching door knobs are some things that keep us in
contact with other people’s "germs."
- Give someone a hug instead of shaking hands!
- Keep washing those hands.
- Use a humidifier in your home.
- Stock up on flu and cold medications.
- Get a flu shot if you have the opportunity before January 1.
Angel Tree
Beginning in December, you will have the opportunity to select your
angel from the Angel Tree in the narthex. Lutheran Social Services has over 460 foster
children whom they would like to see receive a gift for Christmas. We cannot deliver to
all, but we can help out. It is very important that you abide by the deadline on returning
the gifts so that we can assure they get to the recipient on time. If you would rather
donate the money to purchase a gift, or if you have questions, please contact Pam Adams or
Kimberly Byers. Thank you in advance for helping to make this a merrier Christmas for
those less fortunate.
Advent Materials for Children
In the Stable is a family sticker activity for Advent. This
colorful tabletop display depicts the stable and the village of Bethlehem. Each day of
Advent a prayer and Bible verse are read, and a sticker is added to the display. The
younger children in Sunday School should have received In the Stable on November 19
or 26. Extras are available in the narthex.
The older Sunday School children received an Advent Calendar called Manger in the
Mountains. Each day offers ideas for serving, prayer, Scripture readings and other
ways to make this Advent season special.

Lenten Devotionals
With our immediate thoughts on Christmas, it's hard to be thinking
about Lent, but next month we will be finishing another edition of our Lenten Devotionals.
The theme and verses have already been selected. If you would like to participate this
year, you can sign up now for a particular verse at www.reformation-lutheran.org/lent/assignment.html,
or sign up in the narthex. For additional information, talk with Dallas Cronk, Doreen
Scheuerman, or Mark Yeskie. We plan to have all devotionals assigned by December 31.
Devotionals will need to be completed by January 21.
Last year, in addition to the 600 printed copies of our Lenten Devotional Booklet, we
had 508 people sign up to receive these daily devotionals via e-mail. This included e-mail
addresses from all over the country, as well as e-mail addresses from Singapore,
Australia, and South Africa. You can sign up to receive daily devotionals via e-mail also,
simply by adding your e-mail name at www.reformation-lutheran.org/lent. We received
dozens of positive comments from these e-mail devotionals last year. I wish I could share
all of the wonderful comments. In closing, a few of the comments received are listed
below.
- Mark Yeskie
I wanted to thank you for the devotions. My friend put me on to the site and it has
really helped me through a difficult Lenten season. The Easter promise is ours to absorb
and then to share. Thank you for helping me keep focused.
- Nancy Roesing
I just want to say "thank you" for providing these inspiring and meaningful
devotionals every day during Lent. That is quite an undertaking for your church to assume,
and I appreciate it so very much.
What a great way to start my computer day! May God continue to bless your ministry.
Sincerely, Joan Berndt, Beautiful Savior Lutheran, Bloomfield Hills, MI
(This comment was in reference to the Amy Keith's March 31 devotional) I am most
grateful for this devotional. I have an 18 year old H.S. Senior who I learned last night
was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer. I carried this devotional reflection to his
family this morning. It spoke loudly when I had no words to offer....Thanks for allowing
the Holy Spirit to Speak.

Nurturing Faith in the Home
Parents, you are the head of your household so you set the tone for
your entire family. In December it is easy to get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of
Christmas preparation that we forget Christ and are left with mas (must? or
mess?). Here are some ideas to help set a tone of sacredness and calmness that could
make Christmas more meaningful.
- Make an Advent wreath for use as a table piece. Light candles to observe the four weeks
of Advent and read portions of the Christmas story in Luke 2 throughout this time.
- Use the Advent Calendars (that were given to the older Sunday School children) to take a
few minutes each day to do and think about the things of God.
- Set up the Bethlehem stable (that was given to each family with young children in Sunday
School) on your dinner table. Before or after your meal during Advent read the
accompanying prayer and Bible verse and add the appropriate sticker each day to the
stable.
- Take an angel from the Angel Tree and set aside a time for the whole family to go
shopping for that gift. Spend time talking about those with less this Christmas as you
wrap the present. Help your children understand that Jesus came to serve, and therefore we
reach out to help and serve others.
See Through The Scriptures Workshop
The Bible contains one huge story—a message about God’s
big plan for the world and humanity, revealed ultimately in Jesus the Messiah. Do you know
the big story?
If you would like to see how the Biblical story all fits together, set aside Saturday, January
20, to participate in a See Through The Scriptures workshop. The workshop
will run from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Cost is $15.00. Invite one of your non-churched
friends to join you!
Registration forms will be available in mid-December, or let Pastor Mansholt or
Deaconess Doreen know that you are interested.
Congregation Meeting - December 3
There will be a congregation information meeting on Sunday, December
3, following the 8:30 a.m. worship service and repeated following the 11:00 a.m.
service. The topic to be discussed concerns ministry staffing needs for the congregation.
There will be no adult Sunday School on December 3.
Journey to Bethlehem
Come on a "Journey to Bethlehem" on Sunday, December
10, anytime between 2:00 and
4:30 p.m. at Christ Lutheran Church, 5356 N. Hillside. This is an opportunity to
journey back in time to walk through the colorful marketplace, interact with the vendors,
the soldiers, the shepherds, pet the stable animals, enjoy the sights, sounds, and foods
of Bethlehem when Jesus was born. Bring family and friends; it’s a joy for all ages,
and there is no charge. For additional information call 744-1242.
AAL
AAL Branch 4499 will hold their monthly meeting on December 17
at 12:15 p.m. in Parish Hall. We will be conducting a new member welcome for new AAL
members and members who have transferred to Reformation. If you were an AAL member at
another church prior to joining Reformation, please contact Doug Vandersee, 744-3769, so

Young Leaders Needed

grades 7th-12th who would like to nurture their gifts for leadership are encouraged to
attend. The cost is $85 per person. Registration forms are available from Kathy Wegner,
David Dibble, and Deaconess Doreen. The registration deadline is December 31, 2000.
Foster Parents Needed
United Methodist Youthville (UMY) is currently in need of foster
parents in this area. Foster parents provide the stability, guidance, and love that can
make the difference in the life of a child. Being a foster parent means caring for a child
until his or her parent(s) can resume responsibility or until a permanent home for the
child is found. Foster parents start the healing process by providing security and
understanding in a family setting. They help children cope with some of life’s most
difficult circumstances. They provide comfort, soothe pain, and help children learn to
trust.
Who needs foster care? Foster children are newborns through age 18 who are temporarily
or permanently away from their homes. Many foster children come from families with serious
problems such as abuse, neglect, and ineffective parenting. Foster children are
desperately working to overcome the trauma of an unstable family life. Their backgrounds,
talents, and skills, are diverse. Some have special physical and emotional needs. Each is
linked by a common thread. . .the need for someone who cares! If you are age 21 or older,
married or single, live in an apartment or house, and are interested in foster parenting,
please call (800) 593-1950, ext. 190.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NEW AND HEALTHY WAY OF BEING CHURCHED
Evaluative Questions for the church:
- Around what TASKS is the church organized? Look at priorities-- Are they centered inward
or outward? What tasks are connected to issues of justice?
- What kind of PARTNERSHIPS are involved with those tasks? Pastor/Member, Member/Member,
Intergenerational, Member/Non-member?
- What is the church's RELATIONSHIP with other established churches? Nationally? Locally?
- Who is the church EMPOWERING? Is there a striving for the flourishing of all people? Are
all honored as equals and affirmed by the church? Is there an awareness and an effort to
strive for diversity?
- Is there a VISION & HOPE that sustains the ministry of the church? How is this
evidenced?
**********************************************************
When reviewing these characteristics in class the other day, it dawned on me that
REFORMATION could be viewed as fulfilling most of these evaluative questions in the
affirmative. As I reflect on the spiritual journey that led me there, certain things come
to mind. My initial reaction, and the thing that struck me most, was the high value placed
on worship. Upon entering the sanctuary, there is a sense of awe--of being in the presence
of God.
The building itself adds to this aura . . . with the openness of the altar area and the
focal point of the cross. The display of the baptismal font, placed in a prominent
position all its own, elevates the value placed on this Sacrament. The pipe organ, and
most recently the new piano, adds a majesty to the music dedicated in praise to our Lord.
Those of you who worked hard to raise the money necessary to make that sanctuary a
reality, should be commended for the effort put into the audio and visual aspects of
worship that now glorify the living God Sunday after Sunday! The building alone, as we all
know, does not make the church. It is what the people of God DO with it and how the people
of God ACT within and without its walls that really matters.
That takes me to my second point. Upon the start of each service, I was moved by the
serious, deliberative nature in which the service was implemented. The Word of God was
central to worship, even as the cross entered the aisle and the people stood for the
reading of the Gospel each week. The message was regularly preached well by Pastor
Mansholt, who knew how to both stay true to the given text while also bringing forth the
application of those truths in a meaningful manner. Holy Communion has always been of
central importance to me. I felt that Reformation also placed it in high regard and
offered it with dignity and grace to all who wanted its blessings. The regularity in which
the Lord's Supper was offered spoke of its importance to me within the congregation.
And the music . . . for me, entering the doors of the church meant the "music of
angels" would be heard! Between the blessing of the Cantor of the Church, John
Leavitt, and the melodic voices of the choir (not to mention the offering of additional
instrumental talents), I knew my spirit would be stirred by those great musical gifts
offered in worship!
Another thing I appreciated about Reformation was the high value placed on Christian
Education. This impressed me from the start. I commend Deaconess Doreen for her leadership
in this important area of ministry. Your church will benefit for generations because of
her work.
Lastly, I must take the time to acknowledge the special care offered the congregation
through the ministry of Reformation's Parish Nurses, Jette
Mortensen and Barb Lee. If any of you have ever been hospitalized, you will be aware of
the great impact that their ministry has had on many within your congregation. I had the
pleasure of working with both of these fine women when I was a Chaplain at Wesley.
Remember the old saying, "You can't see the forest for the trees?" That is
how I feel. I was aware of the grace bestowed upon me while I was in your midst for the
very reasons that I cited. But, having been gone awhile now, I see more vividly the
totality of the forest's beauty. It is my prayer that as you reflect on your blessings
this season, you will include your church and its leaders in your chorus of thanksgiving!
- Laura Ulicky-Weerts
From the Seminary in Austin, TX . . .
Dear Friends,
It’s the season of Advent and everywhere we turn, we find Christmas. Some
Christians find the commercialization of this holy season offensive, and Santa Claus
becomes an easy target.
So let’s go back a few centuries and recall the original St. Nicholas, after whom
our modern-day Santa is modeled. The real St. Nicholas was born about 342 and became the
bishop of Myra, in what is now Turkey. He was called "Nicholas the Wonder
Worker" because of his faithful dedication to the downtrodden. Tradition says he
saved women from prostitution by providing dowries, and he rescued from death unjustly
convicted men. He was widely known for upholding the rights of children. He was
considered an angel of God and a saint in his own day.
As you are out and about this season, smile at the Santa Claus images you see and
remember the real St. Nicholas. Even better, tuck this Lutheran prayer in your pocket and
pull it out when you get the holiday grumbles:
Heavenly God, shepherd of your people, we thank you for your servant Nicholas, who
was faithful in the care and nurture of your flock; and we pray that, following his
example and the teaching of his holy life, we may by your grace grow into the full stature
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Ah, if we could be more like St. Nicholas!
Peace be with you, Dawn Gorges
Popcorn Pickup
Boy Scout popcorn will be available on Sunday, December 10,
for pickup. Payment will be made at time of pickup. Boy Scout Troop #523 would like to

Holiday Concerts
John Leavitt and the Master Arts Chorale & Youth Chorale will
premier their 11th season, Voices Raised, Spirits Uplifted, with their annual
holiday offering: "A Festival of Lessons and Carols," Saturday, December 2,
at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, December 3, at 4:00 p.m., both at Reformation
Lutheran Church.
The Master Arts Chorale & Youth Chorale are known for their exciting music
presentations and have been described by many as "the most fun concert-going
experience in the area." Both choirs were honored to sing last season in New
York’s Carnegie Hall.
Featured music on the holiday concerts will include Moses Hogan’s "Glory,
Glory to the Newborn King," John Rutter’s, "Shepherd’s Pipe
Carol," as well as Leavitt’s arrangements of holiday carols. Featured guests on
the program will include a chamber orchestra of Wichita Symphony players as well as local
artist/singer Earnest Alexander.
For more information and tickets, call the Chorale’s box office at 733-2575.
Season tickets are also available.

Thank you, Waldo!
